The wind was whipping up Bulma's hair like little cattails behind her head. Yamcha was starting to get tired of their staring game but Vegeta and Bulma just continued glaring at each other. Goku and Yamcha shared a look through the jet's windshield that clearly said "What the hell are they doing?'
Bulma suddenly jumped off the jet and plummeted to the roof, much to the shock of all three males, even Yamcha didn't expect her to do something that crazy. On her way down she hit a small button on a device she carried in her hand and she started floating gracefully to the ground.
Yamcha stared at her from his spot in the jet. 'How the hell did she do that?!'
"Give Goku back Vegeta! I'm not telling you again."
"Listen girl, I don't care what you want. Now go away before I kill you!"
Bulma smirked and pulled out another small device, it was cylindrical, black, metallic, and fit into the palm of her small hands perfectly.
"If you think you can shoot me or blow me up with your little toy you're very much mistaken."
"I'm not stupid enough to try that Vegeta. I only do things right, so I had to make the perfect weapon to use against you."
"Ha, there isn't any little toy in this universe that could defeat me. Just go home."
"It isn't going to happen. Not without Goku."
"You are a very foolish and stubborn girl! But have it your way. You'll have to die. I'll just have to figure out another way of finding the DragonBalls when the year is up."
"It isn't going to happen Vegeta. You aren't going to win."
Vegeta smirked and held up the hand not holding onto Goku. As he began charging power into his hand, not that he needed much to kill the little girl, he couldn't help but admire her bravery in coming her to challenge him, although he thought it was extremely foolish of her to risk her life for the Saiyajin child.
Bulma smiled confidently at Vegeta to his surprise, before shocking everyone gathered even further than she already had. She ran straight towards Vegeta, despite Goku's shout of warning and Yamcha's yelling for her to stop. As she neared him, Vegeta pointed his hand directly at her. Once she was within a few yards of him Bulma extended the arm holding her device and whipped it above her head. The bright yellow beam of energy that swirled over her head like a cattail held steady as it was swung through the air.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes at the beam, wondering exactly what it was and how she expected that to beat him. His question was answered once Bulma swung the beam at her. It wrapped around him, pining his arms to his side, forcing him to relinquish his hold on Goku, who quickly ran to Bulma's side.
"Nice toy isn't it Vegeta? It's an energy whip. I saw its design on some anime when I was younger and decided that with the right modifications it would be perfect for this little meeting of ours. I'd say it's survived its test run perfectly. Let's go Goku."
Bulma hit another button on her device and the electric beam disengaged from the cylinder still in her hand. Goku followed after her meekly, for once without a single question or comment. Bulma broke into a run, Goku close behind her, and dashed for the jet. She couldn't be certain where Vegeta's men were, since she had yet to see a single one of them, but she was pretty sure they would be out there soon. And since she had no clue how long the energy beam would hold Vegeta in place, she had very good reasons to be in a hurry.
Bulma grabbed Goku as they reached the hovering jet; she flipped a button on another device which promptly propelled her up to the waiting jet. Goku climbed inside the back while Bulma strapped herself in and prepared to take off. Vegeta's voice could be heard in anger as she took off toward her home.

Vegeta stormed down the hall, the young girls laughter ringing in his ears. It had taken his men a good half-hour to figure out where he was and another hour after that to get the girls damn energy beam off of him. He felt like killing someone, so he took his aggressions out on the poor men unfortunate enough to be around when he got loose. He would find that girl and make her pay for embarrassing him like that.
It galled him to no end that the woman had been able to defeat him, and not with strength or her fighting prowess but by her pathetic little devices. If he hadn't underestimated her intelligence then she would be dead and he wouldn't have had to waste his time trapped inside that damn beam.
Spotting one of his men that he knew would be succeed at the orders given to him he signaled the man to follow him. Once inside his chambers Vegeta began to pace.
"I want that girl found! Bring that child back here when you find her. I want her brought here as well."
"What, may I ask, will you do with her?"
"None of your damn business! Just go find her."
"Yes sir."
The black-haired man walked quickly from the room and set off to hunt down the blue-haired girl, heading unerringly in the direction that Bulma had headed.
"It isn't easy to escape me little girl. Oh no, it certainly isn't."

A.N. :I KNOW!!! It took me FOREVER to write this chapter and to top off the inhumanity of that I made it extremely short!!! I ought to be smacked, but please refrain from doing so. There are a few reasons why I haven't updated.
1) There have been some things going on with my family, namely my grandfather, that has made it difficult for me to think of writing.
2) I have had a severe case of writer's block. I couldn't get through it, it's still here, I just wedged myself past it...my side still hurts from that!
3) Ummm....My muse took off again. I swear I need to put a bell around her neck.....or maybe lojack.....well...something anyway
Anyway, those are my reasons....as to why I made it so short...well, that's just because I was so busy shoving myself in between that block and the wall that I couldn't concentrate much on writing....but once I get my leg unstuck I'm sure I'll feel better able to write a longer chapter. ^_^ Anyway (I swear I use that word too much...) if you're interested in knowing about my sometimes frequent, sometimes infrequent updates then just send an e-mail to this little address here: hibari_heza@yahoo.com and I'll add you to the list. ^_^
Also, in case anyone was wondering, the anime I was referring to was Iria. I loved her little whip thing...It was so cool. Hehehe ^_^
Sally: Well, I was really into it. And I know, this one is far too short, hopefully the next one won't be. ^_^
Selenity Jade: Thanks Jade. Thanks Zan-kun...although I understand you reviewed under duress....lol ^_^ Please don't hit me with a broom, I'll make the next chapter longer!
Empress Sarah-sama: lol It'll happen, just have a tiny bit more patience with me. ^_^
Lynz: You tell me to hurry up but you don't have chapter three done still! ^_~
V. J.: Thanks! I'm soooo glad you liked it. ^_^ I thought that was funny too, and that chemistry moment was because Jade kept nagging me for a moment, so go thank Selenity Jade. ^_^ I'd have gotten to a moment eventually, but she wanted one right then! Lol ^_^
