Uncovered Secrets

Chapter 6

VEGETA CAN GROWL!

----

After the entire "hot potato" incident, Inuyasha decided that he would just DESTROY the damn hornet's nest with his Iron Reaver Soul Stealer. Next, he picked up the screaming Kagome, and her bike, and threw her, and the bike, over his shoulder and continued on his marry way. Behind Inuyasha, was Miroku, Sango and Shippo, all of them rubbing the bumps where they got stung.

After a while of traveling, awkward silence, and Kagome snoring loudly in her sleep, Inuyasha finally spoke up, "When we get to Kaede's village, we will never speak of this again, agreed?"

"Agreed, this was an experience I would rather not remember," Miroku sighed.

"That's fine with me, but what will we tell Kaede about HOW we got these stings?" Sango questioned.

"Why don't we just tell Kaede the truth?" Shippo piped up.

"BECAUSE I SAID SO RUNT!" Inuyasha nothing but growled out.

"Inuyasha, I suggest that you keep it down, Lady Kaede is standing right in front of you," Miroku mused.

"What?" Inuyasha asked as he turned back around to find that, indeed, Kaede was right in front of him. "AHHH! IT'S SCARIER THAN DODORIA AND FRIEZA IN BALLERINA SUITS DOING THE SPLITS!

"…" was all the gang could say.

After a while of starring, Inuyasha finally spoke up, "Hey old hag, how much did you here of our conversation?"

"I heard the entire conversation, Inuyasha, you all walked into the village and started to shout, I believe everyone heard." They all looked around the village, and sure enough, everyone was staring at them.

"DAMN! STOP STARING AND GET BACK TO WORK!" Inuyasha yelled as ever one went back to work.

"Now, why don't ye tell me how ye got the wounds?" Kaede suggested.

"We'll tell you, Lady Kaede, when we get back to the hut and get Kagome some medical attention." Miroku said calmly.

"Alright, since we ARE in front of the hut, I guess I wouldn't hurt."

"What?" Sango spoke.

"You guys were too busy to realize that we walked right up to Kaede's hut," Shippo explained.

"Aye, Shippo, when I heard all of ye shouting, I came out to inspect what was going on."

Everyone's, besides Kagome, Shippo, and Kaede's, sweat dropped when they heard this. When that passed, Kaede led everyone into the hut and instructed Inuyasha to put Kagome down on a mat. She then left with Shippo to gather some healing herbs and water for Kagome and the rest. This left Inuyasha, Miroku, and Sango to sit and stare at each other.

"Hey Inuyasha," Sango asked, "who are these 'Dodoria' and 'Frieza' people?"

"Yes Inuyasha, who are these people or creatures (More like lizards and spiky blobs. Haha) that you speak of?"

"Uhh… I don't know, I just got a disturbing picture in my head of this white lizard looking guy named Frieza and a pink blob named Dodoria in hot pink tutus doing the splits… :shudders:."

- In hell -

"Hey Dodoria," Frieza pondered, "did you ever get a feeling that some knows our little 'secret'?"

"No, Lord Frieza," Dodoria said as he leaned against the wall of the secret room in hell. Frieza and he were sporting hot pink leotards and tutus, practicing their ballade moves.

"Okay, just wondering, NOW GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASS AND CATCH ME!" Frieza screamed as he jumped in the air, waiting for Dodoria to catch him.

Of course, Dodoria wasn't ready for this and missed Frieza, sending Frieza flying into the wall.

"Owwie," was all Frieza could say as he slid down the wall.

- Back to Inuyasha –

"What the hell just happened?" Inuyasha asked.

"I have no idea Inuyasha," Miroku said.

In the corner of the room, Kagome started to come too, "Hey, what's going on, where am I?"

"Kagome, are you okay?" Sango questioned.

"Yah, I just have a major headache and the birdies and stars won't stop flying around my head," she said with a sheepish grin.

This was everyone in the room - -.-()

"Hey you guys!" Shippo shouted as he came in, "We got some herbs and water… Kagome, YOU'RE AWAKE!" Shippo dropped the stuff in his arms and dashed to Kagome to give her a hug.

"No screamy, head hurt," Kagome mumbled.

"Child, are ye okay?" Kaede asked softly.

"I think I'll be okay."

"Kagome," Miroku spoke up, "how about you go back to your time and take a break for a little while?"

"I think that's a good idea," Kagome said as she sat up and drank some of the water Kaede gave her.

"Yah, that will give us time to recover and search for Kirara and Bulma," Sango injected.

"Wait one minute here, we have to search for the jewel shards too, and if Kagome isn't here, than we don't know where they are!" Inuyasha growled.

"Inuyasha, stop thinking about you for once and think about Kagome…"

"Thanks Miroku," Kagome smiled.

"… she has serious brain damage and needs the technology in her time to cure it," Miroku finished.

Kagome's smile dropped like a dime and walked up to Miroku and smacked him.

"What was that for!"

"For talking about me like I'm not even in the room!" Then she crossed the little hut to where Inuyasha sat.

"SIT" :BOOM:

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT, KAGOME!" Inuyasha yelled.

"THAT, was for not thinking about how I felt, you BIG POOPY HEAD!"

"Poopy head? Why did you call Inuyasha that Kagome?" Shippo cocked his head to the side.

"Because he is one, now if you'll all excuse me, my head is killing me and I want to go home," Kagome humphed and stormed over to the Bone Eater's Well.

"Now look what you did Inuyasha," Miroku scolded, "Kagome's going to go back to her own time again."

"WHAT! YOU WERE THE ONE THAT SUGGESTED SHE'D GO!"

"Whatever you say, Inuyasha," Miroku sighed.

"Let the child be for now, she will return when she is ready," Kaede said while she made a concoction for the hornet stings. (Shippo told her what happened when they went out)

"I'll make sure she's okay until she gets to the well, since Inuyasha won't do it," Shippo got up and left.

"Who said I wouldn't do it?" Inuyasha questioned.

"The author," Sango said flatly.

"Oh," was all Inuyasha said.

- with Kagome –

"Hey Kagome! Wait up!" Shippo screamed as ran to catch up with her.

Kagome stopped and turned her head, but didn't stop walking. Unfortunately for her, she was right in front of the well when she turned her head, causing her to trip over the edge and fall into the well.

"AHHHHHHHHH…!" Kagome's voice got smaller and smaller as she fell further in to the well, then the voice disappeared as Kagome was sent back to her own time.

"HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE 'TRIP' KAGOME!" Shippo chuckled at his own joke and turned around to go back to the hut.

- Bulma and Vegeta –

"Okay Vegeta," Bulma sighed, "lets try this again, just do what I say, take in a deep breath," Vegeta inhaled deeply, "now, make a vibrating noise in the back of your throat, like this, GRRRRRRR."

Vegeta nodded, "GRRRRRRR."

"Good, now project it, like this, GRRRRAAWWWWWLLLLLLLLLLLL!"

"Fine, GRRRRRRR… meow. :cough, cough:" Vegeta's blushed.

"It's okay, just keep trying," Bulma encouraged.

Bulma and Vegeta had finished up their match about half an hour ago, and were now seated on the ground, Bulma TRYING to teach Vegeta how to growl properly.

"Onna, this is not working," Vegeta grumbled.

"Why not! You're VEGETA! How come you can't growl!"

"Because the author said so."

"What?"

"I said, 'because the author said so'."

"Okay… then why don't we do something else and give this a brake," Bulma suggested as she stood up.

Vegeta just grunted as he stood up as well.

They spent the next ten minutes just starring at each other or at the ground, not knowing what to do or say.

Bulma's tail twitched in irritation as it waved back and forth. She took this time to check Vegeta out again, 'cause he's just so sexy! He had a body of a god; that was for sure. Not one inch of fat on him, all muscle, though he was lean not all buff like some demons she knows. He had a sharp face with dark ebony eyes, so sexy! Then she noticed something odd, there was a fury, brown belt around his waist, resting right under his armor.

Vegeta was looking around, feeling a little awkward. He quickly glanced at Bulma and noticed that she was checking him out and smirked.

"Like what you see women?"

Bulma snapped out of her trance, "Hun? Wha?"

"I said, like what you see?" Vegeta's smirk widened.

Bulma panicked, thinking that she got caught starring, but she thought up something in the nick of time, "Of course not, there's nothing TO like with the view I have, I was just thinking about what bad sence of fashion you have, that's all."

Vegeta's smirk turned into a frown, "Oh? And why would you say that wolf? Judging by the way you dress, I'M the one that should be giving the fashion advice!"

"WELL, AT LEAST I CAN GROWL!"

":gasp::sniff: Well you don't have to be mean about it!" Vegeta yelled as he gave those adorable puppy dog eyes and sniffed. He sat back down, cross legged, and pouted, folding his hands in his lap and twiddled his thumbs. (You get the picture)

'Okay, that was weird.' Bulma thought, she sighed and walked to where Vegeta was and sat down next to him.

"Vegeta?" Bulma asked softly.

Vegeta just ignored her and continued to twiddle his thumbs.

Bulma rolled her eyes, 'This guy has some strange mood swings.'

"Come on Vegeta, you know I didn't mean it," she placed her hand on his shoulder.

Vegeta just shrugged the hand off and turn his back to her, still ignoring her.

Bulma huffed, 'Fine, he wants to play that way, fine.'

"Vegeta, will you stop being a brat and look at me!"

"NO! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!" Vegeta screamed as he pounded his fists on the ground.

Bulma was shocked at Vegeta's display of action, but when the shock went away, her sweat dropped. "VEGETA! KNOCK IT OFF!"

Then out of no where, Vegeta just stopped what he was doing and looked at Bulma shocked.

"Vegeta," Bulma said more calmly, "are you okay?"

"I need a hug," Vegeta whimpered.

"Umm… okay…" Bulma said uneasily.

Vegeta lunged himself at Bulma and knocked her to the ground, covering her body with his as he hugged her.

"Eeep!" was all that escaped Bulma's mouth as muscular arms wrapped around her. To say the least, Bulma was shocked! Her ears were pulled back in a kind of 'don't hurt me' way.

Vegeta, on the other hand, was enjoying himself as he sniffed Bulma's hair and sighed. His tail happily waved back and forth until it found Bulma's tail, then it was in heaven!

Bulma gasped as she felt something wined its way around her tail. She looked over Vegeta's shoulder and found his furry 'belt' intertwined with her tail. 'IT WAS A TAIL' her mind screamed.

"Vegeta, you have a tail?" Bulma asked, still starring at it.

When Bulma spoke Vegeta instantly snapped out of his current state and released Bulma like she was the Black Plague. He stood up and tried to get away from her by turning tail and running for it. The only problem was that his traitorous tail was still intertwined with Bulma's, and had no intention of letting go. So instead of running for it, Vegeta snapped backwards and landed on his back with a thud. He would have landed on Bulma, but luckily she rolled to the left right on time. But as fate would have it, their tails were still together and Bulma snapped right back to Vegeta, but this time she landed on top of him. And through this entire ordeal, not once did their tails let go. IT WAS THE POWER OF LOVE::sob sob: Uhh, now back to the story…

They just laid there, in an open field, breathing hard, looking at each other with wide eyed until Bulma spoke up, "What the hell just happened?"

"I have no clue," then Vegeta realized that Bulma was on top of him, ":growl: Woman, get off me!"

"Well, it looks like someone returned to their normal, grouchy self," Bulma grumbled as she got up and dusted herself off. She untangled her tail from Vegeta's and placed it behind her. Then it hit her, "Vegeta, you just GROWLED!"

"What?" Vegeta cocked his head to side after he got up and wrapped his tail around his waist.

"I said YOU GROWLED," Bulma spat with a little more venom in her voice.

"I did? I mean… of course I did! I'm the Prince of all Saiyans!" Vegeta crossed his arms.

"Right…"

More awkward silence.

"Vegeta," Bulma asked slowly, "what was with all the whining and the hug?"

":sigh: That would be my inner child."

"Your… inner child?"

"Yes, legend has it that when one's true mate is around them and the moon is full, a Saiyan's inner child comes out."

Bulma blushed, realizing that he meant her. Vegeta seemed to realize this too and stuttered something to cover it up, "Umm… I-I mean that…umm…shit::clears throat: it doesn't mean that it's YOU woman, it could be someone else that just LOOKS like you."

"Uh…okay," Bulma glanced down, she was just going to believe him right now because she didn't want to deal with it right now.

"The strange thing is, where's the full moon?" Vegeta asked himself.

Out of the corner of Vegeta's eye, he saw a giant cardboard moon swinging above him. "GAAAAAAAA!" Vegeta yelled as he saw this and stumbled onto his perfect, royal ass.

"What the hell!" Bulma screamed as she saw the 'moon'

"Hey guys!" Goku waved, he was hovering in the air right above them, with the 'moon' tied on a stick in his hands

Vegeta got up, "Kakkarot! How long have you there!"

"Ever since Bulma yelled, 'WELL, AT LEAST I CAN GROWL!', I was just holding this moon right above your head cause I was bored."

"Hey Goku," Bulma asked, "isn't there an asteroid that you need to destroy?"

"I COMPLETELY FORGOT!" Goku dropped the 'moon' and flew to only Kami knows where.

"What an idiot," Vegeta grumbled.

"Ya."

Vegeta sighed and looked at Bulma with his arms crossed.

"Let's make a packed right now and agree to never speak of this again, deal?"

"Deal."

I think that was a good place to end. Woohoo, that was a long chapter. Cute though, cute and strange.
