Chapter 8
When Bulma woke she was still in the carriage and the skinny man was looking at her, she started struggling against the bonds, "Dont worry my dear" the skinny man said as he lifted her chin to look at him with the end of his staff, Bulma's eyes showed defience as she spat at him, it landed on his face and she immediately regretted it, he grabbed his staff and hit her in the side of her face, (Ouch), the spot immediately turned red and a tear involuntarely fell onto her cheek, "You wont get away with this" she threatened, "Oh I beleive I will, and as soon as your stepmother has her money, you will be legally mine" he said grinning evily, "What do you mean?" she asked trembling at the tone of his voice, "What about the money?, can't hurt to tell, your father left you with a rather large amount of money for when you turn twenty-one, and about owning you legally, you my dear will soon be my wife" he announced laughing loudly, Bulma reeled back in shock, marriage?, money?, this was all to much for her, "I'll never marry you" she hissed, "You dont have a choice" he smirked then taking a careful inspection at the bruise that was forming on the side of her cheek he cringed, "Oh well, guess you will get married in blue".
Vegeta rode with Goku beside him and ChiChi infront of Goku to Bulma's house, "Do you have any idea what were going to do when we get there?" Goku asked glancing over to Vegeta, Vegeta, who was way to angry to speak just shook his head and fastened his speed. Once there they jumped off their horses and looked around, suddenly an old man who had a walking stick wobbled out, "Your to late" he said, anguish filling his voice, "Where is she?" he asked knowing the man knew who he mean't, "Gone" the man wheezed out suddenly lost for breath, "Where?" Vegeta asked.
The old man told them what had happened when Bulma came home and where she was headed, "There's something else" the man said, "The man's going to make her marry him" he said as then he took in another ragged breath, Vegeta strode over to his horse once he got directions and him, Goku, and ChiChi started on their way to the old church in a deserted valley.
Bulma stood at the entrance of the church still shackled, the bruise on the side of her face wasn't as sore as before and she was just happy that it wasn't swelling up, "I dont beleive you'll have to change my dear" he said as he looked at what she was wearing, Bulma was determined to keep her mouth shut, he lead her into the chapel and forcefully pulled her to where a (obviously fake) priest stood, the priest grinned as he looked over her and then cleared his throat, "Shall we begin?" he asked the skinny man and she relised she didn't even know his name, and she also relised she didn't care to either, the skinny man nodded then after telling the priest to keep it short turned to Bulma, "Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holly matrimony......" the priest continued on.
"There it is" Goku said as he saw the church in the far distance, "Please hurry" ChiChi begged and Vegeta nodded then turned his horses canter into a fast gallop and went ahead of them, 'please be alright' he pleaded silently.
"Do you Bulma take Yamcha to be your husband?" he repeated his question when Bulma just looked away, Yamcha slapped her sending her flying across the room and into a chair, she was then grabbed by the arm and yanked up to where she had been before, "Answer him" he hissed as he rose his hand again to slap her, "I wouldn't do that if I were you" a very angry voice said.
Bulma struggled to look at the figure standing in the doorway of the church and saw Vegeta, "What do you want?, this is a private ceremony" Yamcha yelled as he dropped Bulma's hand and she sank to the floor, Vegeta grew angry when he saw the angry marks on Bulma's face, "Vegeta?" she whispered before she fell into unconciousness, yamcha reeled back, "V-V-Vegeta?, the prince?" he asked suddenly feeling very frightened, Vegeta took his gaze off Bulma and then retrieved his sword from his belt, "That's right" he said as he took threatening steps forward, Yamcha stepped back and away from Bulma, "My lord, this isnt what it seems" he said as he waved his hand at Bulma, "That's my woman, now draw your sword" he said as he walked closer to Yamcha, Yamcha cowered in fear and waited for death, Vegeta dropped his sword and started smashing his fists into Yamcha's ugly face, "Do you like beating woman?, see how it feels" Vegeta barked at Yamcha before Yamcha blacked out.
Vegeta threw the broken Yamcha to the floor then ran over to where Bulma lay, he gently picked her up in his arms, Bulma opened her eyes and saw Vegeta looking down at her, "Vegeta, I'm so sorry" she whispered before she fell back into unconciousness.
Vegeta sat by Bulma's bed in one of the guest rooms of the castle, he held her hand as he silently begged her to wake up, "My boy?" his father asked as he came into the room, Vegeta turned his head to see his father standing in the doorway, "She will be alright lad" his father vowed before he left, "Vegeta?" Bulma's small voice whispered, Vegeta whipped his head around to see Bulma staring at him trying to smile, "Your awake" he said as he held her hand tighter, "Where am I?" she asked trying to sit up, Vegeta firmly but gently pushed her back down onto the cushioned bed, "You must rest" he said, "Im sorry" Bulma apoligised as she looked up at him, "I didn't want to lie to you" she said as tears formed in her eyes, "I know, and theirs nothing to forgive" he said as he brush tears away from her eyes.
