Chapter Two – Secrecy

Vegeta's curiosity got the better of him and he sneaks around inside Capsule Corp. He never knew how big the compound actually was.

'She must be here somewhere… Why can't I sense her?'

"Snooping around, are we?" The woman, who looks an awful lot like Bulma, is right behind him. Vegeta almost has a heart attack. No one ever succeeded in sneaking up on him like that!

"How the hell did you do that?" he asks.

"Do what?" she asks back in an innocent voice.

"Sneak up on me. How come I didn't sense you?"

"I wouldn't know. Maybe your senses need to be sharpened."

"That's ridiculous," he mutters. "Who the hell are you anyway?"

"That's none of your business, I'm afraid. Now would you quit wandering around the building at night? Who I am and what I'm doing here is none of your business, I won't bother you in any way. Go back to your quarters and go to sleep like any sensible person should at this hour."

He blinks. 'No one talks to me like that! I'm a Saiyan Prince!' He's about to give her a piece of his mind, but she lifts up her hand.

"Ssshh…" He feels how his eyelids become heavy and he's overpowered by sleepiness. Then everything becomes pitch black.

"She insisted on letting you stay here… Stupid sister. One of the most powerful warriors of the universe with a history of going berserk on anything that annoys him, and all she can look at is his cute butt." Gee picks up Vegeta and carries him back to his quarters.

'He is cute though, when he's asleep. Very quiet too.' She pulls the blanket up and leaves the room without looking back.

"Woman…" Vegeta growls to Bulma while eating breakfast. Bulma, who's doing the dishes, looks over her shoulder and asks: "What is it?"

"Who is that other blue-haired onna walking around in this building?"

Bulma's face darkens. "She's my younger sister, G-String. Why do you want to know?"

"Because she's hiding from other people. I wondered what her secret is."

"Nothing!" Bulma shrieks. Vegeta looks at her triumphantly.

"I knew that you would know. Now tell me, what's so special about her?"

"You can ask her yourself, mister I-like-to-put-my-nose-in-everyone-else's-business." Bulma goes back to the dishes.

"I'm asking you," Vegeta says in a dangerously low tone.

"Well I'm not allowed to tell anyone. I swore an oath and I'm not planning on breaking it."

"Are you sure about that?" With his incredible speed, Vegeta suddenly appears behind her and grabs her throat. "I hate to ask things twice, woman. Now tell me or else…"

Bulma soon turns as blue as her own hair, but she doesn't give in.

"Fuck… you… Vegeta!" she manages to moan.

"Knock it off, Saiyan. If you're so desperate to know, I'll tell you myself." They hadn't noticed that Gee came in. Vegeta swirls around in surprise and lets go of Bulma.

'That's the second time she does that,' he thinks to himself, still furious.

"It's about time," he growls.

"You okay sis?" Gee walks over to Bulma, completely ignoring Vegeta in the process.

"Do I… look… okay to you?" Bulma gasps, lying on the floor only half-conscious.

"Just relax. I'll fix you." Gee puts her hands over Bulma's bruised throat and a small circle of energy lights up the kitchen. Even though the energy is visible, Vegeta can't sense it. He looks at the event without even bothering to hide his emotions. Then, slowly, it becomes clear to him when Gee turns to him and asks sarcastically: "So, Vegeta, have you figured it out yet?"

"I think I have… But I thought that was impossible! You ARE human, aren't you?"
