Burn

Flashback (12 years ago)

Bulma was awoken by a loud noise. She sat up in her bed. (She was treated nicely at the palace she only had to clean and do other stuff like that) She got up and walked into the living room. There were guards. 'What are they doing here?' she thought.

"What do you want?" her father asked the guards.

"We have been told to take you to a farm(does planet Vegeta have farms? I guess they have to get vegetables somehow) to work for a new master A.S.A.P. Pack your things," one of them ordered.

"What? But why?" her father questioned.

"Ask your daughter," another guard snickered.

'Oh no,' Bulma thought. Tears formed in her eyes.

Her father looked at her. "Pack your things Bulma," he said.

"But Dad," Bulma protested.

"No buts get packing," her father demanded.

"I refuse!" Bulma stated.

"Bulma, now," her father said.

"No! I'm not going anywhere," she cried.

"I suggest you do if you want to live," a guard stated.

"NEVER!" Bulma bellowed.

"And if you want your father to live," the first guard said.

Bulma was silent. She let her tears fall. She nodded and went back into her room. She started to pack her things, crying the whole while. 'Vegeta will find me,' she kept thinking over and over. She walked back into the living room, her head held high. She would not give them satisfaction by seeing her cry. They took them out of the palace and they were taken to the farm. Bulma took a look at the palace. She knew in her heart Vegeta would search forever for her. He wouldn't give up. She'd be out of here in no time. But still she already missed him. She hadn't bothered to unpack her stuff that night. She knew Vegeta would find her soon. But she had been wrong. Her 'owners' had beaten her senseless trying to break her but Bulma never did until her father was killed before her. She prayed that Vegeta would save her. But soon she stopped praying and hoping all together.End of Flashback

"I was certain he'd find me, but he never did, and sometimes I wonder why," Bulma stated.

"I bet it was my father. He knew Vegeta would look for you. He must have done something," Chi-Chi said.

Bulma nodded. "I hope your right Chi-Chi," she said.

Later that night

Vegeta walked up to Bulma. "Hey," he said. Chi-Chi had already gone to her room because Gohan had fallen asleep.

Bulma curtsied. "My Prince," she said.

Vegeta nodded. "I wanted to talk to you," he said.

"About what…sire?" Bulma asked. (It was still awkward calling Vegeta sire, your highness etc.)

"I…uh…never mind," Vegeta said. 'What am I thinking? I need to get over her. This isn't her,' he thought.

"Okay, Veggie bear," Bulma said. She covered her mouth quickly. 'Shit,' she thought.

Vegeta looked at her with wide eyes. "What did you just say?" he asked.

"I..I said okay, Prince Vegeta," she stated.

"No you didn't you said…never mind," Vegeta said. 'You're losing it Vegeta,' he thought to himself.

One week later

Bulma walked through the city. She hadn't heard from Vegeta in a while. Ever since the celebration he hadn't spoken to her. Well, he was at the palace while she was stuck in the city; still he could've sent a messenger or something. She smiled as she remembered all the messages Vegeta would send when they were teenagers. Like this one time shortly before she was taken away from him….

Twelve years ago

Bulma was lying on her bed starring at the ceiling. She was thinking of her prince. She giggled. There was a knock on the door. Bulma jumped out of her bed and ran to the door. She opened it excited. It wasn't him. But it was a messenger. Nappa the messenger that is. Nappa had always kept the secret of Vegeta and Bulma.

He bowed. "Miss Bulma, this is from Prince Vegeta," he stated handing her a note.

"Thank you Nappa," Bulma said.

He nodded and left.

Bulma closed the door and entered her room. She looked at the note. It read:

Dear woman, (my woman that is)

How are you? I'm stuck in a damned boring conference. I don't even get why have to go to these stupid things, they're so ridiculous. I mean I'm not going to be king for awhile yet, and when I do there will be none of these stupid meetings. Anyway, besides that I'm fine. I was just thinking about you and decided to write this letter. Bulma, I want you to know that…I love you and that no one is going to tear us apart, I swear. Oh, gotta go Father's looking at me with the 'you better start paying attention boy' look.

Love always,

Your Prince Vegeta

End of flashback

Bulma smiled. She had every single one of those notes in her secret box. She had looked at them whenever she was down. They comforted her a little. Bulma kept walking when something caught her eye. She would know that hair anywhere. "He comes back actually in about two weeks. You are the first one to spot him." Bulma walked through the crowd.

"Excuse me, coming through, hey watch it," she said. She followed what her eye had caught. He stopped and leaned against a building staring up at the sky. "Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all," she heard him mutter.

She walked up to him. "It's been a long time…Kakarot," she stated smiling.

Vegeta's P.O.V. (just thought you might want to know what he's doing)

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Vegeta was asleep on his bed, drool coming out of his mouth. (HEHEHE). He was awoken when Nappa ran into the room. Vegeta wiped his mouth.

"What is it Nappa?" he demanded to know, "I was meditating."

Nappa bowed. "Sorry to disturb you sir but Mister Gohan wants you to tell him a story," Nappa stated.

Vegeta's mouth fell. "You interrupted my na..meditation for that?" Vegeta questioned.

Nappa looked at him and nodded.

Vegeta sighed. "Fine. I'll tell the kid a story but I'm going to choose the story no Hansel and Gretal shit this time…or Goldilocks and the Three Bears or Curious George or The Ugly Duckling or Cinderella or Raggedy Ann and Andy or Rapunzel or…(you get it)," Vegeta stated getting up.

Bulma's P.O.V.

Kakarot looked at her. "Do I know you?" he asked.

"Of course you know me are you that stupid? Oh wait duh my hair. Of course you don't recognize me," Bulma said hitting herself in the head.

Kakarot still was confused. This woman was crazy.

"You remember me and Veggie Bear," Bulma stated.

Kakarot's mouth dropped. He only knew one person that would call Prince Vegeta that name. "You can't be…" he started.

"I am…if you're thinking I'm Bulma that is," Bulma said.

Kakarot smiled wide. "How..when?" he asked.

"It's a LONG story," Bulma said, "it all started when…."

The next night

Vegeta was out again walking the streets. He spotted Chi-Chi. He was about to say something when he stopped himself. What was she doing out this late at night? Was this where she went late at night? He decided to follow her get some answers. She ran down a corner and entered from the looks of it seemed like a hideout. He stayed outside and leaned against the entrance.

Inside

Chi-Chi walked in and spotted Krillin and 18. "Hey guys," she said walking up to them.

They looked at her and smiled. "Hey, Chi," they said.

"Wonder what she's going to say today," Chi-Chi stated.

Krillin and 18 shrugged.

"Why don't you ask me yourself,"

Chi-Chi turned around and spotted Bulma. "Hey," she said.

They hugged. "How have you been?" Chi-Chi asked.

Bulma grinned. "VERY well," she said.

"That's good, so what are you going to talk about today?" Chi-Chi questioned.

"The usual. How we need to be strong and fight for our freedom," Bulma replied.

"Oh…by the way Vegeta hasn't seen you in awhile, has he?" Chi-Chi asked.

Bulma shook her head.

"I wonder why," Chi-Chi said.

"Why do you care? I thought you said it was bad for me to see Vegeta," Bulma asked. (Not meanly of course just a question)

"I know but I know you can change what happens. I want him to be happy and I know he would be with you," Chi-Chi stated.

"Why? He hasn't done anything for you," 18 questioned.

Chi-Chi looked at 18. "That's where you're wrong. He did a lot for me. Like 10 years ago when he…

Flashback (10 years ago)

Chi-Chi walked into the throne room. Her father and brother were there. "You called for me father," Chi-Chi stated looking at him. 'Please don't tell me he knows,' she thought.

Vegeta, who was leaning against the wall, also looked at their father. He had just been talking to his father or more like his father was talking to him about becoming King in the next decade or so.

"I talked to the palace doctor today," King Vegeta stated.

'Oh no,' Chi-Chi thought.

Vegeta looked confused. 'Doctor?' he thought.

"And?" Chi-Chi questioned looking at the ground.

"He told me of your condition," King Vegeta stated.

Tears formed in Chi-Chi's eyes.

'Condition?' Vegeta was way confused.

"What are you going to do about it?" Chi-Chi asked quietly.

"I'm not going to do anything, you are. I already set up an appointment with the doctor for you tomorrow so he can get rid of the problem," King Vegeta said.

Chi-Chi started to cry. "Please father, don't make me do that. I want it," Chi-Chi begged falling to the ground.

Vegeta, who was more confused than ever, walked over to his sister. He sat down by her. "What is he talking about?" he asked in a low voice.

Chi-Chi looked at him. She was pale. "He wants me to get rid of…to get rid of," she couldn't say it.

"Get rid of what, cheech?" Vegeta asked using her nickname.

"My…my baby," Chi-Chi replied so low Vegeta could barely pick it up. She wrapped her arm around her stomach, protectively.

He was shocked. "Your what?" he asked as if he had heard wrong.

"My baby," Chi-Chi stated louder this time.

He looked at her. He was about to ask a ton of questions but he shook his head. Now was not the time. He looked at his father, glaring. "Why?" he asked.

King Vegeta sighed. "Do you know how bad it would look if your sister had a child before she is properly mated? It would ruin our kingdom," he stated.

"It wouldn't look bad, you just want her to be miserable just like you do me," Vegeta spoke up standing up.

"You are wrong Vegeta," King Vegeta stated.

"You listen to me. You want us to be miserable, don't lie. You are a selfish BASTARD! You took 'her' away and now you want Chi-Chi to get rid of her child. What kind of sick monster are you?" Vegeta bellowed.

"Son, listen," King Vegeta started but was cut off.

"NO YOU LISTEN! I'll tell you something. How would it look if the kingdom knew you got rid of an innocent being? Hmm? What would happen to your reputation?" Vegeta asked.

Chi-Chi looked up at her brother. She smiled. He was standing up to their father. He was so brave. She admired him for that.

"They would never know," King Vegeta replied.

"Yes they would," Vegeta said smirking.

"You wouldn't," King Vegeta stated.

"I would," Vegeta said.

King Vegeta stared at his son long and hard. "Fine she may keep it," he stated, defeated. 'I'll just torture the brat so much it'll wish it had been aborted,' KingVegeta thought evilly.

Chi-Chi got up and ran to her brother. She hugged him. "Thank you SO much, Vegeta," she stated.

"Yeah, yeah just remember you owe me," Vegeta stated.

End of flashback

Bulma smiled. "That's my Veggie bear," she stated.

"Yours?" Chi-Chi asked.

"Yep, mine," Bulma stated then she remembered something, "hey Chi-Chi there is something I'd like you to see."

"What is it?" Chi-Chi asked. 'What on Vegeta-sei is she thinking?' she thought.

"You'll see, turn around," Bulma stated walking into a room.

Chi-Chi turned her back away from Bulma.

Vegeta's P.O.V. (from the beginning of their conversation)

He was looking in the building.

'Chi? What in the world? Who are these nutballs? What is Blaze doing here? Speech? Fight for freedom? Wants me to be happy with Blaze? What? Of course I did a lot for her. Yep, I remember that. VEGGIE BEAR! I'm losing it. Oh no I lost it. Hers? I'm confused. Wait a second is that?' Vegeta thought.

Back inside

Chi-Chi felt someone tap her shoulder. She turned around again. There before her was Kakarot!

He smiled. "It's been awhile Princess Chi-Chi," Kakarot said.

Chi-Chi was too stunned to speak.

"What, are you not happy to see me?" Kakarot asked.

Chi-Chi started to cry and threw his arms around him. "Oh Kakarot, is it really you," she sobbed into his chest.

Kakarot nodded. "It's me Princess Chi-Chi," he stated pulling her from him to get a good look at her. "You're as beautiful as ever," he said smiling.

Chi-Chi blushed. "I've missed you so much Kakarot," she stated.

"I've missed you too," Kakarot said. Chi-Chi kissed him on the lips. Kakarot smiled within the kiss and put his arms around her waist. Bulma smiled at the couple.

When they separated Chi-Chi smiled at Bulma.

"Thank you, Bulma," she said hugging her best friend.

"WHAT THE HELL!"

Everyone in the room gasped as Prince Vegeta walked into the room. Everyone except the three of them ran. (Bulma, Kakarot, Chi-Chi stayed.)

"Prince Vegeta!" Kakarot exclaimed.

Vegeta was red hot. "WHAT ON VEGETA-SEI IS GOING ON?" asked an enraged Vegeta.

No one spoke.

Vegeta looked from 'Blaze' to his sister to Kakarot. "You lied to me," he said looking at 'Blaze', "you're her! Aren't you? Answer me!" Vegeta snapped.

"I can explain," Bulma said.

"Then start explaining," Vegeta demanded.

"I couldn't tell you! What if the king had found out! I would have been executed! You know that as well as I do!" Bulma shouted.

"You lied to me," Vegeta repeated.

"I had to!" Bulma stated.

"Prince Vegeta it isn't Bulma's fault. Certainly you," Kakarot was cut off.

"And you! It's him isn't it?" Vegeta asked turning his attention to Chi-Chi.

Chi-Chi slowly nodded.

"Why are you yelling Uncle Vegeta?"

They all froze. They turned around and saw Gohan standing there.

"What are you doing here, kid?" Vegeta asked.

"Well no one was watching me so I followed you," Gohan stated.

"Uncle?" Kakarot questioned.

They all looked at Kakarot.

"Who's he?" Gohan asked.

Vegeta turned to Chi-Chi. "You mean he doesn't know?" he questioned pointing at Kakarot.

Chi-Chi shook her head. "I didn't know when he left," she stated.

"I don't know what?" Kakarot asked.

Vegeta looked back at him. "Before you left, Kakarot, you…you..you impregnated my sister!" Vegeta stated.

Kakarot's eyes widened. He looked at Gohan the turned his gaze to Chi-Chi. His mouth was dry. "Is it true?" he asked.

"Yes…that is Gohan, OUR son," Chi-Chi stated.

Kakarot's face broke out into a wide smile. He hugged Chi-Chi.

Vegeta tore them apart. "Get your hands off my sister! Oh, to think I trusted you at one time," he spat.

"Prince Vegeta…I can explain," Kakarot stated.

"Explain what? That you were having a fling with my sister. My little sister!" Vegeta shouted.

Bulma started to tip toe away.

"You get your sorry ass back here. I'm not finished with you either," Vegeta bellowed.

Bulma grumbled and walked back.

"I'll deal with you in a second," Vegeta said turning back to Kakarot.

Gohan walked up and looked up at Kakarot. "Are you my daddy?" he asked.

Kakarot looked down at the boy and smiled. "Apparently," he said.

Gohan smiled. Kakarot picked him up and hugged the small boy.

Vegeta rolled his eyes and decided to turn back to Bulma. "You…you liar," Vegeta spat.

"Vegeta…Veggie bear…can't you understand my reasons?" Bulma asked in a sweet voice.

Vegeta's face softened. "Don't suck up woman. It won't work," Vegeta stated.

Bulma pouted. "I missed you Veggie Bear," she said hugging him.

"What did I say about sucking up?" Vegeta asked. 'Damn this woman. She always makes me weak,' he thought hugging her back.

Bulma smirked victoriously. She gave the peace sign to Chi-Chi.

"I missed you too woman," Vegeta whispered. He then turned back to Kakarot and Chi-Chi, glaring at them. "Now you two." Gohan was now standing in between his parents.

"Vegeta give us a chance to talk," Chi-Chi stated.

"No, I'll do all the talking. First, I want to know something. How long has this been going on?" he asked.

"Since I was sixteen," Chi-Chi stated.

"Sixteen! You were pregnant at sixteen. You moved that fast! Or was this a pure lust deal?" Vegeta questioned.

Kakarot and Chi-Chi's eyes bugged out of their heads. Bulma giggled. "Of course it wasn't!" Kakarot and Chi-Chi exclaimed.

"Okay, just checking. Because I would have killed Kakarot if it was. Second, where have you been Kakarot?" Vegeta asked.

"On a planet VERY far away. One called E-earth," Kakarot stated.

Bulma's eyes widened. "EARTH! That's my home planet," Bulma exclaimed.

They all looked at her.

"Weird," Chi-Chi said.

Vegeta then looked back at Kakarot.

"Did my father send you there?" Vegeta asked.

Kakarot nodded. "It was ten years ago now. One morning I woke up and then….

Flashback

Kakarot was about to leave his room when other guards busted into his room. Kakarot looked at them. "What the hell was that for?" he asked them.

They grabbed both his arms and legs. Kakarot struggled to get loose, but there were too many of them.

"Where are you taking me?" Kakarot demanded to know.

"It's under the orders of the king that we take care of you," said a guard that was holding onto his left arm.

Kakarot looked up at him. "But why?" he asked. Then he knew. 'Damn it,' he cursed.

They drug him into the pod station. They stuffed him into an open pod. Before Kakarot could get out the door was closed. He could see all the guards laughing. Kakarot leaned back. 'Damn it, he found us out. Damn it,' he thought.

"Destination: Planet Earth," the computer stated.

Kakarot sighed. "Goodbye my beloved Princess Chi-Chi," he whispered.

End of flashback

"And that's how it happened. It took two years just to get to that planet and I didn't know if I should return to Vegeta-sei. It seemed clear that King Vegeta didn't want me around, but I finally decided to come back two years ago," Kakarot explained.

Vegeta nodded. "Third question: do you l…love my sister?" he asked.

Kakarot nodded. "Very much," he stated grinning.

Chi-Chi smiled. "I love you too, Kakarot," she stated.

Bulma smiled. 'How cute,' she thought.

"Last question: you aren't hiding anything else from me are you?" Vegeta asked.

"No," Chi-Chi said.

Vegeta sighed. "Good," he stated.

"Except that we are mated," Chi-Chi added to her last statement.
