The Unforgivin Story

Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. Bulma could even hear the whistle of the knife bearing down at her cutting the air.

"Please….Please let me wake up like last night." Bulma thought, closing her eyes and turning to the side. The shear piercing of her skin was almost painless till it went completely through her shoulder and into her torso.

Bulma fell onto the floor on her side but not before Yamcha had already pulled the knife out and was ready to go at her again. Bulma cleared her mind waiting for the blow. She could feel the stickiness of her blood coating her inner arm on her clothes.

Vegeta slammed the door down with his foot sending it on top of Yamcha. He looked over to Bulma and saw her desperately grabbing at her blood stained arm and curled into a tight ball. He ran over to her not even caring about Yamcha and kneeled down to her.

"Bulma?" Vegeta asked not being able to say anything else before a felt the slight sting of a blade cut his cheek and nearly slit his eye and nose if it hadn't wavered from the contact on his cheek.

Vegeta was speechless for a moment. "There's no way in hell you could have done that without me sensing it! Who are you? You can't be Yamcha!" Vegeta jumped to his feet but was tackled by Yamcha instantly.

Punches started flying in every which direction, but no one seemed to be getting hurt.

Bulma looked over to see Vegeta and Yamcha on her Balcony dueling it out. They seemed completely evenly matched. "No way!" Bulma whispered to herself.

Ignoring the pain Bulma pushed herself with her feet and pulled with one arm over to the phone. Every movement seemed to get harder and harder. "I have to call Goku! I have to!"

Bulma heard what sounded like the concrete of her balcony crackling, but couldn't see anything since she was on the ground and her bed was blocking her view. She reached up and pulled down her phone painfully from her night stand.

When it fell the phone fell off the receiver and Bulma took no time in pushing the 'rocket dial' button that instantly called Chichi's house. She tried to pull it over to her ear. "Thank God I had that all set up for cases like this." Was the last thing Bulma thought before going unconscious?

Vegeta was pinned under Yamcha, actually pinned under him. Vegeta knew he was fighting recklessly because everything was catching him by surprise.

Yamcha had the knife again and had it at Vegeta's throat. Vegeta could feel the blade slightly pierce his fingers that where trying to hold it back. "NOOO!!!" Vegeta yelled flipping Yamcha to his back. Vegeta held his knee right into Yamcha's stomach and dug his fingers from one hand right into Yamcha's neck while struggling with Yamcha's other hand for the knife.

Yamcha's hand that was holding Vegeta from choking him clenched his hand at maximum strength.

Vegeta let out another yell as he felt the bones in his wrist start to slowly crack.

Deciding to let go of the hand where Yamcha held the knife Vegeta quickly grabbed a piece of the balcony's railing that had broken off and slammed it down on Yamcha's head. A move that would have killed anyone as weak as Yamcha was supposed to be.

Seeing that Yamcha wasn't moving Vegeta got off of him and carelessly leaned back against a part of the railing that was still standing. Vegeta noticed some people on the side walk staring almost blankly.

"What are you looking at?!" Vegeta yelled at them

The bystanders ran away instantly.

Catching his breath and holding has wrist he realized he wasn't alone with Yamcha on the balcony.

Goku stood directly opposite of him holding the knife and staring at Vegeta.

"Oh God…not you to!" Vegeta said getting ready to fight again.

"No! Vegeta! I didn't come here to fight you! What's going on!! Where's Bulma?" Goku hurriedly asked.

Vegeta sighed about to start explaining when Yamcha jumped up flinging the piece of balcony at Vegeta.

It nailed him right in the stomach throwing him back off the balcony and onto the ground. Yamcha jumped off after him. He landed with both feet straddling Vegeta's side and he stared down at him. Some of the ground had upturned and moved away from where Yamcha's feet had planted.

"YAMCHA! What are you doing!? Stop this!" Vegeta heard Goku yell. After the initial dizziness went away Vegeta saw Goku ready to jump down.

"No! Don't worry I can handle him myself!" Vegeta called back. He lifted his elbow and threw it right into Yamcha's knee cap. It made what could only be described as a cork popping loose from a champagne bottle sound when his knees snapped out of place.

"Figures Vegeta would say that." Goku thought wanting to smile at Vegeta's old ways, but to caught up in the seriousness of it all. "Then what do you want me to do?"

Yamcha fell onto Vegeta.

Vegeta quickly pushed him off hard enough to fling him into a near-by tree. The tree bent a little and look like it was about to fall. Bringing more air into his lungs quickly from being knocked out of breath he looked Goku dead in the eyes.

"Save Bulma." He said in his normal steady voice.

Goku quickly turned and looked into Bulma's room. He saw her feet sticking out from the other side of the bed. Looking back at Vegeta one last time and seeing that he was ok to fight. Goku ran and jumped over the bed to get Bulma.

He studied her injury and looked up to see the phone off the hook by her ear. "She must have tried to call me." He thought to himself, hanging the phone up

Goku picked up Bulma the best way he knew how to keep it from bleeding any further and put his two fingers on his forehead. In an instant he was gone.

Vegeta Looked at Yamcha after feeling Goku's ki disappear. "Who are you?" Vegeta asked in a deadly quiet voice.

Yamcha looked up with just his eyes. The rest of his body looked dead. "Who do you think idiot!" The tree Yamcha was leaned against cracked a little and moved further ready to fall even more. "I'm doing to a favor! Why don't you just let me kill her and get it over with?" Yamcha's eyes almost looked to sparkle red. "You don't need her anyways."

Vegeta used a fake sad voice. "But then who will I have to fix the gravity machine for me? Who will there be to complain about you 24/7" Then Vegeta smirked.

Yamcha laughed cruelly. "I'm surprised you haven't killed her yet!"

With his smirk still planted firmly on his face he spoke again. "Yeah actually that surprised me too, but humans are like pets. You grow so attached to them even when you want to get rid of them."

"Then get rid of her. Get rid of your weakness."

Vegeta started walking forward. "To bad that's not going to happen."

As soon as Vegeta got close enough Yamcha banged his fist behind his breaking the tree completely. It just about came down on Vegeta but he moved out of the way just in time.

Vegeta ran over to get Yamcha, but he again was gone.


"So tell me Goku did Yamcha learn to completely hide his ki before or after he started liking men." Vegeta said with narrowed eye, not even taking the time to put it in a questioning voice.

Goku held his head in his hand. "Not now Vegeta I'm still trying to put this all together in my head.

"This is insane! I'm so glad I told you Goku about what was happening! What if you hadn't showed up?" Chichi asked putting some flowers in a vase next to Bulma's bed.

"How are flowers going to make her better? I'll never understand your stupid human ways!" Vegeta spat out in a rampage.

"Perhaps you would like them better shoved up your!"

"CHICHI! Seriously calm down." Goku tried putting a persuasive voice on.

"Well if you hadn't of shown up poor Veggie might have died. Oh WHATEVER would we have done!" Chichi yelled walking out of the room.

Gohan followed her out of the room.

"Don't push me harpy!" Vegeta stood up from his chair next to Bulma's hospital Bed.

Krillan tried to hide his laughter behind a hand, but Vegeta saw him.

Right before he could say anything Bulma turned a little in her bed, still completely out cold.

Vegeta froze up and watched her.

Goku smiled at his instinctive ways to worry about her. "Aww Vegeta gave up a chance to rip on Krillan for Bulma."

Vegeta sat down quietly and looked to go into a complete state of thought.

"Krillan and I are going out looking for Yamcha. We will be back later to check up on her." Goku said picking up his jacket. "Get some sleep Vegeta you injured pretty badly too."

Vegeta shook his head. "Hardly."

Goku laughed quietly and waited for Krillan to come with him before walking out of the room.

Vegeta turned his chair. "I should go home and train." Vegeta looked at the clock on the wall. It said 9:30 pm.

Vegeta stood up turned off the lights and walked to the window opening it for some more air. He looked out at the stars and started listing planets he could remember in his head, smirking at some of the old memories from them.

"He was right I am growing weak. She's just a weakness. I could be training but I can't seem to even leave this room. I wouldn't have even known she was under attack earlier if her ki hadn't risen from being scared. Normally I would not have sensed that. I'm growing too attached." Vegeta looked at the dozen roses sitting next to her bed on the table.

He walked over and leaned against the table. His eyes lingered to Bulma. "Its insane I can't even imagine her getting attacked again. What would I do if she was? I could get over it." Vegeta took one of the roses out of the vase. "Couldn't I?" He twirled the rose in his grasp not caring about the minor pain that shot through his broken wrist. "I shouldn't spend the rest of my life defending her. There are more important things to do."

He put the rose back in the vase with the others and looked at them all together, then stood fully back up.

Vegeta started to leave the room until he heard Bulma's faint movements again.

"Vegeta?" Bulma half spoke half whispered.

Vegeta looked over to Bulma. She was still asleep but looked to be in pain. Vegeta cussed inwardly. "More important things to do!" he yelled in his head. He tightened his fists and walked out of the room.

After a few short minutes he was back in the room and moved the chair closer to Bulma. Sitting down he leaned back to get comfortable remembering when he had woken up from an injury to find Bulma sleeping near him.

"More important things to do…" He thought listening to Bulma's breathing and the sound of the clock's ticks. Soon he was asleep.

"But not right now…"
