"No more"

Disclaimers: I don't own dbz or Chi…Chi is owned by Vegeta-Holic. Ericka is my own character, and is so far the only character I own in this story.

A/N: Sorry for taking so long to update the story! Here's chapter 8!

I slowly stepped into the shower, and turned the knob, with the little H on it. The hotness of the water felt good, even though it was burning me…I let the steam engulf me, and take over my breathing. I was still keeping my senses up; not knowing what Vegeta would try next. I loved him, yet I still couldn't fully trust him…

I stepped out, and quickly dried myself up. I looked into the mirror at the stitches that still remained on my chest. I couldn't find myself to smile; but I was happy. I put my clothes on, unlocked the door, and then opened it. I sensed for Vegeta's ki, and followed it. It led me to closed doors, so I knocked. A couple of seconds later, which felt like hours, the door opened.

"Yes?" Vegeta asked

"Um, I'm finished with my shower…by the way, why did you bring me here?" I asked back

"Don't you remember?" Vegeta said, "I said we should talk about what we said on the bridge."

"…Oh…well, do you mind if I come in?" I asked

Vegeta didn't answer me, but he opened the door and then turned off his music he had playing in the background. I just sat down on his bed, and he sat next to me, only about an inch away from me.

"Ericka," He started to say, slowly looking at me, "…Do you mind when people say that we're mates?"

"Um…well…uh, sometimes, because Its not true…" I said

Vegeta looked away, then closed his eyes while breathing out a sigh. "Would…you like for it to be that way?" He asked, shyly.

I was stunned. I didn't know what to say, except, "you mean you want me to be your mate?"

His face started to turn red, and I could feel my heart start racing…even though I was a saiyajin, I wasn't too sure on how the whole 'mating' thing went. "…I don't know how."

Vegeta looked at me like I was crazy, and then let out a little chuckle.

"Don't worry…It'll come naturally…that is, if your answer is yes."

I was unsure, and extremely scared. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. Vegeta whipped it off with his thumb, and looked me in the eyes, softly. "You're scared, aren't you?"

I slowly nodded my head yes. He gave me a small 'smile' and kissed me passionately.

.:Well:. He asked me telepathically, still kissing me

.:I Don't know. I'm scared…:.

He pulled away. "Don't be…"

"I just need some time…to think this all over…I don't know you that much…" I said

He sighed. "That's fine…but make sure and tell me your answer as soon as you know."

My cell phone rang before either of us could say anything.

"Hello?"

"Hey Ericka, where are you?" Chi asked on the other line.

"I'm at Vegeta's place. What about you?" I asked

"Oh, I'm with Raddy-chan" She said, giggling.

My face turned blank. " TT; I seriously don't see what you see in him."

"Hmmhmm well, um, Raddy asked if me, you, Vegeta and him would want to go to karaoke. Its ladies night."

"Hang on…Uh, Vegeta, would you like to go to karaoke with us?"

Vegeta cocked an eyebrow. "Karaoke? You want me to go with you to karaoke?"

"He says it'd be awesome, Chi. He can't wait." I said, with an evil grin on my face.

"Great! We'll meet you at the local karaoke bar on 7th ave., ok?"

"All right. See you then!" I said, hanging up

Vegeta looked at me mad. "If you think that I'm going just to sing your wrong."

"Huh?"

"I'm doing this for you. And for the fact that it's ladies night and I just know that you're going to sing. Hehheh" Vegeta said, crossing his arms.

We soon were off, and arrived at the karaoke bar!

Chapter 9 should soon be up, as soon as I get some songs from Chi...I'll update soon! Review PLEASE!
