Chapter 10!

EvilImp532 – Man, my story is having an affair with all the reviewers! Why won't it just settle down and pick one, and only one true reviewer to love for all eternity? 'sob' my baby has grown up so fast, and…and is breaking so many hearts 'sob'. Thanks for the review! Did I update soon enough for ya?

vbchickVLVR – It may be in vain…but it sure was fun to watch! Well, this story does take place in the 3 missing years, so if she survives after those 3 years, then I'm sure she survived during them as well. Or maybe she was wished back to life…who knows. Vegeta is cute? (Destiny pictures Vegeta skipping along the meadow with a lollipop in one hand and a red balloon in the other, singing 'Do you know the muffin man?' in her head)…creepy. I really do care! You should see me every time I get a review; I start to bounce around and my mom just stares at me with one of her eyebrows raised. After I tell her why I'm bouncing around, she just shakes her head and walks away. Okay, so I'm a 'little' weird. Thanks for the review! Sure, all see you around AIM or something, as long as I don't get stuck in that girl's hair on the way over.

i take people's whits – It does? (Destiny looks at the pamphlet and growls in anger) There's pink on it! I shall summon the devil from the depths of hell and he shall smite those who have concocted such a vile color known as pink! (Destiny squeezes too hard on her can of soda and ends up squirting some of its liquid into her eyes. She throws the crushed can outside a window and counts to ten to calm her self down.) Okay…i'm better now. Well, the question you have asked shall be answered on this chapter. Oh, somebody doesn't like Crystal very much. I wonder if anybody actually does like her. Who knows. Thanks for the review! (Soda can lands on Yamcha's head causing him to go unconscious and fall into a pit full of rabid weasels.)

StormScarred – Well, I'll just have to supply you with more garbage cans for you to stuff them in. That should do the trick. Hmm. You'll just have to read this chapter to see if Vegeta does anything. Rabid turtles? Well, that's fine and dandy, but they are to slow to get me so I see no threat to your mutated turtles, but I shall give you an update anyway. Man, aren't I generous? Thanks for the review! And to answer your question, No, turtles cannot be rabid. People get rabies from infected 'mammals'. Turtles are not mammals. See? You learn something every day! …Hey, I never said that you learned something useful…you just learn something.

bebex2xsweet – Lmfao? Never heard of it. I'm not familiar with this generation's people and their hip young lingo. Man, I need to socialize more often. Oh well. I guess I'll stay in the stone ages forever. Ya, some chapters will be a little rushed with more or less information. Thanks for the review! (bebex uses her whip on Destiny) Okay, okay, I'll continue with the story!

RosardoZBT – Well, prepare yourself for more intimate things in future chapters! Hehe, I liked that part too. I know it was rushed, but there are some parts in the story that I will be rushing on, mostly because I can't think of anything to do at the moment. Kind of like writers block or something. I just want to get the chapter out. Well, I'm pretty sure there will be more, no matter how hard I try. If I tried harder, it would probably take me longer and when I push myself to hard I usually end up getting a little angry and just drop everything and not continue for months…I know most writers put more detail into their chapters. I prefer to just get the whole thing done and over with. Hey, at least I actually get the chapter out quick! Hey, I don't mind you complaining! It helps out with my writing abilities. I need all the help I can get! This is my first fic after all. Thanks for the review! I'll try to be a little more detailed, but if I still do it, well…um…sorry. It's not like I'm trying to get you angry or anything. I'm just doing my best, which isn't very good. Oh well.

shan – Here's the quick update you wanted. Thanks for the review! I shall continue my quick updates for future chapters just to please you!

kikyouhater118 – Wow, there are 118 kikyou haters out there? You guys have your own hate club or something? Hey, it passes the time I suppose. (hater118 sniffs the air) "O MY GOD! Y-YOU DIDN'T, YES YOU DID!" (Destiny face turns red in embarrassment) Sorry…I farted. (Some random girl drops dead after sniffing the air) "THAT BITCH DONE KILLED HER!" I I… I didn't mean to, I swear! What's up with Vegeta? (Destiny looks at Vegeta) Well, his hair is up. Thanks for the review! Oh, and good luck with killing Kikyou! Wait…she's already dead. How do you kill a walking corpse?

Spitfire1688 – I'm working as fast as I can! (Spitfire uses her whip on Destiny) Whipping me will only slow me down! (Spitfires suddenly stops. After a few moments of silence, Spitfire shrugs and continues to use her whip on Destiny) Thanks for the review! "Get back to work!" Ouch! 'sigh'

chica-chan – Um, let me try. (Destiny takes a deep breath) Random. Did I say it right? Ya well, that was basically what I wanted to do. I bet you weren't expecting Crystal to do that, eh? I got to catch you guys off guard. Never had a blue berry muffin before…I don't even eat muffins…Well, I've had a few. Hey, my moms fat too. When the next ice age comes, all the skinny people will die from the cold and all the fat people will eat the skinny people to get bigger so they will be warmer. See? Different sizes have their different advantages. Thanks for the review! Oh, and here's the update you wanted! Peace out, violence in.

Bulmachick05 – If you are reading this, then you CAN wait for the next update! There, you learned something about yourself today. You have more patience then you think. Thanks for the review! (Destiny smiles at chick05. chick05 growls at Destiny) Okay, okay! Just trying to be nice.

Samantha B – I'm happy that my pitiful attempt at a romance story is pleasing you! Vegeta! (Vegeta suddenly appears behind Destiny) Go kill Crystal. (Vegeta smirks and runs out the door) There you go, satisfied? Every school has at least one of those girls…mine just happens to have different varieties all over the school, and it just so happens that they all hate me. Oh well, I'm use to it. If you're reading this, then you CAN wait for the next chapter. Proved yourself wrong, eh? I know! Fanfiction has more B'V get togethers then any other couple in DBZ. I'm pretty sure that makes Vegeta happy to know that he beated Goku at another thing. Thanks for the review! (Vegeta burts thru a door smirking and holding Crystals bodiless head by her hair) Good job, Vegeta. Now, go set her head with all the other mean blond heads in the corner.

vegetafanic1 – I am pleased that you like my story! Truly, I am! Well, there will always be someone out there like Crystal, that's what makes hating people fun! Well, lets hope nobody throws the key into her cell. Will they be hooking up soon? Possibly. But you'll just have to continue reading to find out! Hey, don't be sorry. A lot of people think he's hot. (Even though he isn't real) Oh, wouldn't that make you all happy if he was real. I can see it know…(Destiny pictures Vegeta walking out of Capsule Corporation to do his daily training when a group of screaming girls starts running towards him. Just as they are about to touch him, he raises his hand and blasts them all to the next dimension. He shakes his head and walks to the GR.) I'm so happy that I'm not into Vegeta like that. I'm not into anybody. Hmm, maybe in my thirties I will be. Thanks for the review! If you are reading this, then you CAN wait for the next chapter! No, thank you for reviewing! Until we meet again. (Destiny fades into the darkness)

naruto'sbabygirl – "Bring in the love!" (Destiny pushed against a door in order to keep the love from bursting thru.) You just had to say that, didn't you? Ah, curse all you want. Doesn't bother me. It only bothers me when people say it like fifty times in one sentence. Another girl named Crystal, you hate her, and you both had a fight? What are the chances in that happening with you and in my story at the same time? (I know, not the EXACT same time, ah you know what I meant) Well, if that's the case, then you are going to love this chapter! Opps! I've said too much! Forget what I said. Thanks for the review! Here's the update you wanted. Enjoy… or else! (Destiny shakes her fist at babygirl)

Bulma's parents and friends came to visit every now and then for the next few days. Vegeta never left Bulma's side. He sat in a chair by Bulma and never said a word. His face was always expressionless, but when you looked into his eyes, you could see pain and sorrow. Behind the acrylic window stood Goku with the doctor.

"He hasn't moved from that spot, has he?"

"Nope, neither has he eaten."

"I'll go in and talk to him."

"Good luck, he hasn't shown any signs of moving so don't expect him to do much of anything."

Goku sighed and entered the room. He looked at Bulma who was still in critical condition and turned his gaze to Vegeta who was starring at Bulma. He felt sorry for the guy. To live a life of pain and when he finally finds somebody to care for, it gets snatched away from him.

"I'll help you find Crystal."

"I'll find her."

"My wife Chichi, is with child. My second. I fight for that child. Vegeta, nothing will replace Bulma, but if you come with us, you can justify her sacrifice."

"Why… Why do men feel that they can justify death?… Is it arrogance?… I have longed feared that my sins would return to visit me… and the cost is more then I can bear."

"Vegeta, we have a chance. Piccolo and Krillin are searching the city for Crystal. If we find her, then the victory of protecting others from her are within are grasps."

"Then go then, seek your victory. I'm smallish to it."

"Your wrong, Vegeta. You matter to us and to others as well. Your victories and your losses are shared by more then you know. Stay with us. Stay the course."

Vegeta slowly turned his head to face Goku.

"I have run my course."

He turned his gaze back to Bulma and said nothing else.

Goku sighed and left the room.

> > > > >

As Goku flew around the city looking for Crystal with only a picture of her in his hand, he sensed somebody coming. He turned his head around to see who it was while still flying in the same direction. A figure far in the distance entered a cloud and reappeared from the other side of the cloud. It zoomed in the direction of Goku and when it was close enough to see more visibly. Goku immediately identified who it was. Vegeta. When Vegeta reached Goku's side, he slowed down to keep the same pace as Goku. They didn't say a word and continued to look for Crystal. A few minutes later, Vegeta saw a figure move around in the woods below him and noticed a familiar scent in the air. It was Crystal. He flew down towards the ground and Goku closely behind. He landed his feet on the ground. Crystal turned around and saw Vegeta and Goku at least twelve feet away. Vegeta started to walk towards Crystal while Goku just stood there.

"You. I remember you… and that mall and that stupid little girl. Did she die? Hm?"

She grinned evilly and Vegeta continued to walk towards her with an enraged face. He stopped walking when he was less then a foot away from her. His knuckles were turning white as Crystal spoke yet again.

"You know, it's an ugly business doing one's duty, but just occasionally, it's a real pleasure."

He grabbed Crystal by the small amount of hair that was left on her head by Bulma and dragged her to a tree. He took out Bulma's pocketknife from his pocket that still had some of Crystal's hair on it and sliced her throat open. He let go of Crystal and put the knife back in his pocket. He stood there staring at the tree while Crystal tried to breathe. Her lifeless body fell on Vegeta and slid down him until it fell to the ground. He stood there for a moment and then flew back to the hospital. Goku flew off towards Piccolo and Krillin to tell them the search was over.

> > > > >

Vegeta entered the hospital and went straight for Bulma's room. He sat in his chair and held his head with his hands with his elbows on his knees. He sat like that for a few moments until he heard something that made his heart stop.

"Vegeta?"

He turned his gaze to Bulma who had just woken up.

"Vegeta, are you okay?"

"Now I am."

"Where am I?"

"In the hospital."

"Why?"

"Because Crystal shot you thru the chest."

"Well that explains the pain in my chest. Wait till I get out of here and th-"

"She's already dead. I just came back from killing her."

Bulma pouted.

"I wanted to do that."

Vegeta smirked.

"Well if it makes you feel any better, I used your pocketknife to cut her throat open. So a little of you killed her."

She smiled weakly.

"Oh that is so original."

Vegeta's smirk increased.

"How long have I been in here?"

"Four days."

"At least I got some sleep."

"Humph."

"So, how is the up grade for the GR working?"

"I haven't used it."

"Why not? Did it break?"

"No. I have been here the whole time."

"For four day!"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because I felt like it, that's why."

Bulma gave Vegeta a weird look and shrugged it off.

"When can I leave?

"That's up to the doctor to decide."

"I have a new doctor now? What happened to Dr. Vegeta?"

"He's on vacation."

"Well, when he gets back, could you tell him that Bulma greatly appreciates his kindness?"

"Sure."

A few days later, Bulma was finally healed and Vegeta flew her home. They spent more time together and Bulma didn't have to fix the GR anymore since the new upgrade was able to hold Vegeta's attacks. Bulma was setting the table up for dinner while her mother cooked the food.

"Bulma, could you tell are house guest that dinner is ready?"

"Sure, mom."

Bulma placed the last plate on the table and headed up stairs to Vegeta's room. She was about to knock on the door, when she noticed that it was slightly cracked. She peaked thru the crack of the door and almost fainted from what she saw. Vegeta was butt naked. Bulma could only see his backside, but that was enough to set her insides on fire. Her throat went dry. She slowly walked back down the stairs with a stunned face and turned her head to the stairs.

"Vegeta, dinner is ready!"

She walked back into the kitchen and began to collect food on her plate. As soon as she sat down, Vegeta came in with only his blue spandex shorts on. Images of Vegeta being nude crossed her mind and she began to blush. Vegeta sat in his usual place across from her at the table and began to eat. She had her elbow on the table with her hand on her forehead to avoid eye contact with Vegeta while her other hand held a fork and was slightly touching the food enough for it to move. When Vegeta stretched one of his legs out, it touched one of Bulma's legs and she jumped.

"What's wrong with you, woman?"

She spoke with a high-pitched voice.

"Nothing."

Vegeta raised a brow and noticed the blush on her cheeks. He thought for a moment and sniffed the air. He noticed that the woman's scent over powered the rest of the house's occupants. The woman was aroused, but why? He pretended to accidentally hit Bulma with his leg and she jumped again. He smirked when he answered his own question. He was the cause of her arousal. Every once in a while, Vegeta would 'accidentally' bump his leg into hers and she would jump. When he bumped his leg into hers yet again, she finally pushed her untouched plate of food away from her and got up to leave.

"Pumpkin, you haven't eaten a bite of your food. Is there something wrong?"

"No, mom. I'm just not hungry, that's all."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"All right, dear."

As she was about to exit the room, her stomach growled and everybody stared at her. She blushed and ran up to her room. Vegeta grinned and went back to his food.

Chapter 10 is a success! Can any of you guess where I got the scene with Goku and Vegeta talking to each other from? I'm sure i take people's whits can. Well, like I said in the first chapter, there will be some scenes from movies that I changed just a bit and fitted them in this story. If you can't figure out which movies they are from, then I shall put the names down at the end of this story…kind of like credits or something. Well, I thought it fitted into the story quite nicely, even though I felt weird putting them in there.

(You + Review – Update!)

Review readers, review! For the fate of this story, no, the other reviewers depend upon thee!

Until next time, farewell! (Fades into the darkness)
