OK ENOUGH – chapter 12!
"We need to talk Vegeta!" Bulma breathed harshly at a groggy Vegeta. Hearing Bulma's screeching tone of voice somehow made Vegeta's eyes to fly open. Vegeta had never been one for talking, and, by the way she acted, he figured Bulma would never want to do much talking to him.
Something in Bulma's tone of voice hinted that she was on to something…something big. Vegeta began to wonder if she knew his little secret. Unlike his usual cocky and confident personality, Vegeta began to sweat, to worry. How could she know? She couldn't possibly be that smart! Unless Goku…Vegeta's thoughts trailed off as he realized Bulma was still standing in front of him.
Faking a cocky calmness, Vegeta regained his composure and pushed Bulma away from him as he pulled his body out of the chair.
"What about woman?" he ground out.
"I know your little secret!" Bulma nearly spat at Vegeta who was stretching his legs in the morning sun. Vegeta stopped all movement and stared at Bulma. Now he was really sweating.
Vegeta could do nothing but wait for Bulma to proceed, but for some reason, she didn't. After the words she had spoken flew out of her mouth, she caught herself. Chi Chi did say to be sneaky…she wouldn't say that for no reason…Bulma found her thoughts drifting, but Vegeta's intense, somewhat frightened stare interrupted her mind's wandering.
Suddenly changing the direction of the conversation, Bulma coyly smiled and continued.
"You have a soft side," she whispered, mentally patting herself on the back for being so smooth.
"What?!" Vegeta shot back, relieved that she had not revealed that she knew his real secret, but still a little uneasy. Plus, he didn't want anyone to think he had a soft side- talk about embarrassing. "I do not woman, now get out of my way," he growled, anxious to get out of the room, out of the situation. Bulma only smiled that award-winning grin and blocked his way.
"I believe it was you who rescued me last night, you who comforted me, and YOU who put me in bed," Bulma said. She could have stopped after her first comment about Vegeta being soft, but when she saw how she could make him cringe, she just couldn't resist. And now he was certainly cringing- big time. I'm making the little prick squirm, she silently giggled at her achievement.
Vegeta had had enough. Pushing Bulma away from the doorway, he stalked through, wearing his trademark scowl.
"Next time I won't interfere," he hissed as he pushed past Bulma, causing her jaw to drop.
Would he really let me get raped? Nah-that's just anger talking. Hahahah, I made him mad. But he does seem to be hiding something. But what could it be?
Bulma scratched her head as she closed her door behind Vegeta. She walked over to her desk, still pondering what Vegeta could possibly be hiding. He seemed strange to her, what with all his training for a cause unknown to her, but other than that she just figured he was a stuck up brat. Well, a normal stuck up brat.
Suddenly an idea popped into Bulma's head. If she couldn't figure out what was up with Vegeta, she could certainly do some research on Goku…maybe even find out why he and Chi Chi ran off together.
Bulma flopped across her bed, grabbing her small phone book and her little blue phone. Finding exactly what she was looking for, she dialed the number and waited for an answer. The answer came quickly.
"Hello?" a small voice said on the other line of the phone.
"Krillin! It's Bulma!" Bulma said in a cheerful voice, expecting a surprised reacting from the short baldy.
"B-b-Bulma? Why are you calling?" a shocked Krillin asked.
"Well, it's about Goku. He and Chi Chi left this morning, and I have no idea where they went. Do you know anything about it?" Bulma said, getting straight to the point.
"Well, actually, no. But I do know that Chi Chi will be safe. Goku is really strong and he'll take care of her."
"Really strong?" Bulma repeated Krillin's words, signaling him to explain.
"Yeah. He gets up in the mornings and practices kick boxing, taekwondo, ju jitsu, you name it. Sometimes we spar and he kicks my butt every time," Krillin stated. "He calls it training, but I don't know what for."
"So you are sure Chi Chi is in safe hands?" Bulma asked huridly, an idea brewing in her head that she didn't want to lose. Both he and Vegeta train- now that's odd.
"Yep," Krillin confirmed.
"Alright thank you. If I need anything else can I count on you?"
"You bet!" Krillin exclaimed.
"Great! I'll see ya later." Bulma promptly hung up the phone and raced to her lab.
Vegeta trained like there was no tomorrow. As he took a quick break, he noticed the sun was setting outside the window of the gravity room and he hadn't seen Bulma since the morning. When he had gone in for lunch she was locked in her lab working away the hours of the day. Dork, Vegeta mumbled, draping a towel over his shoulders to absorb his salty sweat.
As if on cue, the door to the gravity room slid open, and Vegeta noted Bulma standing in the doorway with a cool glass of lemonade in her hands. He also happened to notice the extreme shortness of her tight red shorts.
Bulma pranced sexily over to Vegeta, subconsciously moving her hand up and down the length of the glass, collecting the cool condensation on her hands. In one swift movement, she pushed Vegeta down on a bench and perched herself on his lap.
Before he had any time to respond, Bulma shoved the glass of lemonade in his face, simultaneously swinging herself around where she was straddling his lap.
"Drink up," she said huskily as Vegeta completely ignored her presence and downed the refreshing liquid. As he lifted the empty glass, Bulma wrapped her arms around his neck, running her hands through his tough hair. Bulma leaned in smoothly, placing her lips ever so close to Vegeta's ear.
"You are so sexy when you sweat," she whispered before jumping off his lap and scampering away. As she closed the door between herself and the shocked Vegeta, all she could think was Mission Accomplished.
All Vegeta could do was sit in stunned silence, his mouth completely dropped open, his eyes bugged out, and a painful erection forming. Damn…she was hot. NO NO! what am I thinking. Maybe I should go talk to dad.
Vegeta walked out of the gravity room, heading for the woods and his spaceship. Bulma sat in her lab, holding a tiny device that resembled some sort of detector. My own little Vegeta-scouter. I can't believe he didn't notice me putting that tracking chip in his hair. Well, his hair is kinda dense, she thought as she noticed Vegeta was moving from the gravity room. Grabbing a coat, Bulma set off to follow him to wherever he was going.
After miles of what seemed to be hiding behind trees and bushes every time Vegeta turned around, he stopped walking, allowing Bulma to catch her breath. She noticed that he was crawling into a cave, and, in stealth mode, she followed suit.
What Bulma discovered shocked and amazed her. As she followed Vegeta through the cave, they finally reached their destination. Bulma's eyes grew wide as Vegeta crawled into a…a spaceship!
Not needing to see anymore, Bulma clicked her scouter to save the coordinates where the ship was located if she ever needed to returned. She then backed out of the cave and began to run towards home, knowing if Vegeta caught her spying she'd be in some serious trouble.
"Father," Vegeta said. "How are the advances?"
"Do not concern yourself with our advances. You need to pay more attention to you. You have become weak. I can sense it. You were followed here by two people, yet you had no idea," a cold voice replied harshly.
Vegeta was astounded. He had felt a presence near to him, but he didn't think anyone would follow him into the forest. Except Bulma…he pondered, knowing her behavior had been out of the ordinary that day.
Not even speaking another word to his father Vegeta slammed down the phone and began his long walk home. He needed to think, he needed to be alone, he needed a kill.
The moon shone coolly over the crashing waves as Chi Chi and Goku sat by the fire warming up and laughing.
"I can't believe you just jumped in and swam to the bottom of that lake!" Chi Chi squealed with laughter.
"I got the dragonball now didn't I?" Goku laughed back, rubbing Chi Chi's shoulders in order to warm her shaking body. She smiled back at him lovingly. Nothing could be better than this. Goku, the beach, the serene sound of the waves crashing, the smell of salt in the air. Mmmmmm…Chi Chi sighed as Goku wrapped a blanket around both of their shoulders.
"I've been meaning to ask you something. You know when you did that thing when your hair changed color? What was that?" Chi Chi asked Goku as she buried her head into the crevice between his neck and chest. She sighed at his masculinity, his warmth.
"That was called turning Super Saiyan," he explained, resting his chin on Chi Chi's head. "It just means I'm getting stronger. I've been able to do it for two years-since I was fifteen," he finished off.
"It was neat," Chi Chi smiled up at him, her dark eyes shining in the soft moonlight. Goku, intrigued by Chi Chi's astounding beauty, leaned in for a tender…
Flying Pen- ::walks onto the beach waving her arms crazily:: What do you think you two are doing! Resist, Chi Chi, resist! Say you aren't ready!
Goku and Chi Chi just stare up at Flying Pen, stunned by her sudden appearance and speech.
Goku- I was only going to kiss her.
Flying Pen- Sure, that's what they all say ::shakes finger at Goku:: You and your silly lies…
Suddenly the group is interrupted by yet another guest speaker.
Popo's Bia- ::clamps hand over Flying Pen's mouth:: Sorry guys she will be outta here in a sec! ::slowly tugs Pen away from the young couple. Muffled shouts of "BUT THEY ARE GOING TO DO IT!!!" can be heard as Pen is dragged off the set and put back in front of her computer.
PB: sorry guys! Please continue!
Goku- now that was weird. ::Shrugs shoulders:: oh well, back to Chi Chi!
Before Goku could lean down and kiss Chi Chi, he noticed a long yawn escape her lips. Not tonight then…he smiled down at his mate, as they both got up and walked into the capsule house Chi Chi produced. At least we have two dragonballs now. Five to go.
Two eyes followed an angry Vegeta as he emerged from the cave and stalked off.
Yamcha smirked as he slipped into the cave Bulma and Vegeta had both been occupying. What's so neat in here? He thought as he began to enter the cave. Stumbling around in the dark, Yamcha soon found his eyes taking in what Bulma's had only minutes before. How interesting, Yamcha snickered. I come to talk things over with Bulma and I end up finding this...this space thingy!
Yamcha piddled around the ship, pushing random buttons and laughing at his little discovery. Unfortunately he hit the wrong button, and a loud ringing noise met his ears. Suddenly the ringing stopped, and Yamcha was even more shocked to hear a voice on the other end.
"King Vegeta speaking," a baritone voice boomed.
"Umm, hi," Yamcha said shakily.
A/N- ahahhahahhhah! Yamcha is such a retard! (love you Yamcha! :) )
Hope you guys caught that Bulma put a tracking device on Vegeta- and also that Yamcha had gone to Bulma's to talk with her, but he saw her follow Veggie into the woods so he did a little following of his own! So you guys enjoy? Sorry bout the little interruption from Pen! She'd so crazy!
