The linking song
Bulma walked down the hall to her bedroom in a complete daze.
"I can't believe I kissed him." she thought bring her finger tips to her lips. The tinkle from the still fresh kiss moved to her fingertip. Then after a brief moment the feeling finally left. Bulma tried to make the feeling come back again by lightly kissing her fingertips as a test. It didn't work.
"I can only imagine what's going through the prince's head right now. He probably hates me now that I'm completely on the topic" Bulma thought as she gazed at her fingers some more. She almost tripped on an upturned red carpet in the middle of the hallway but caught her balance.
Some guards looked at her strangely but didn't speak a word as they passed.
Bulma finally made it to her door, but before she could turn the handle someone grabbed her shoulder. Bulma turned quickly and stiffened.
"Vegeta?" Bulma said almost in a gasp. She tried her hardest not to look nervous, but she was still kinda embarrassed not only from the kiss but now she was thinking about what happened with Riley also.
Vegeta stared at her sternly without speaking and held out his hand.
Bulma saw Vegeta was holding some clothing.
"Wear these as training clothes. You have none in your closet." Vegeta said handing them to her then turned and walked back down the hallway.
Bulma guessed he was going to train to get his mind off of things. She let out a breath she was holding in and slightly opened the door to her room. Darkness filled her vision and she suddenly got extremely scared about someone being in there. "If Riley could get in so easily then so could anyone else…right?" She suddenly didn't like her room anymore.
Bulma turned back into the hallway before turning on the light. "Vegeta!" Bulma yelled still able to see him in the distance. When Vegeta's figure halted in mid-step she continued. "Um…..I need your help…" She said in a low voice not expecting Vegeta to hear her.
Vegeta turned his head slightly looking over his shoulder at her. Luckily his Saiyan hearing picked up what she said. He mentally smirked. He loved hearing that she needed his help. He was about to deny it to her when she saw a glint in her eyes that flat out spelled 'F.E.A.R.'.
"With what?"
"Well…" Bulma when through her choices in her head of what she could say. She decided the only way she could get Vegeta back was to catch his interest. "I'll tell you exactly what happened and explain what I need help with if you come here."
Vegeta sighed a little and turned, walking again back toward Bulma. His mind had completely gotten rid of the idea of the kiss. He just told himself she did it out of being sincerely unpredictable. A trait he liked none the less but he didn't want to dwell upon it. He was, at the most, extremely curious about what occurred between Riley and Bulma.
Bulma's face turned bright red as she saw Vegeta walking toward her. "Damn it Bulma look what you did now. Your stupid mind! Stupid stupid stupid! I can't believe I'm really going to tell Vegeta what happened. I should have just got Chichi, but I don't want to wake her. Oh God Oh God!" Bulma voice in her head got more and more high pitched the closer Vegeta got to her.
"And?" Vegeta said as he narrowed in on her.
"I...uh…was outside in the garden area I found and I took a bath in the lake…and when I came back inside Riley was in my bathroom and she…." Bulma then mumbled under her breath almost in tears from embarrassment. What she said Bulma herself couldn't even make out.
"What?" Vegeta asked lifting her chin to look at him.
Bulma closed her eyes tightly and when she opened them a single tear rolled down her cheek.
Vegeta was taken back by this soundly, even let go of her face and took a step backwards.
"Let's just say she threw me from a two story building."
"Why didn't you fly?"
Bulma's thoughts scrambled from wondering what his reaction to her tears had meant and the thoughts of forgetting such an important fact. She had forgotten she could fly now. At the same time she realized from that whole occurrence she could think of anything she could have done in that moment. Feeling dumb and mortified to bring up her bare-naked moment she tried to change topic. "Could you just check my room and make sure no one is in there?" Bulma asked turning her head away from looking in his eyes.
Vegeta noticed Bulma wipe the tear away quickly and it seemed she calmed down after she wasn't put on the spot. Vegeta threw his hand against the door opening the already ajar door to be fully opened. He flipped on the light quickly and looked inside. He didn't feel any awkward presence, but it was then that he noticed all Bulma's stuff ripped apart and thrown about.
"Your fine with no one being in here, but other then that…." Vegeta stated. He felt strange being around her when she's like this. He felt his power level rising with anger at Riley. He guessed she was the one behind it this as well.
"Uh...can you check the bathroom too just in case?" Bulma asked pointing to the door. Bulma looked inside her room and her eyes widened greatly.
Vegeta made a low pitched groan and walked into the bathroom seeing things tossed and turned everywhere. On the mirror, which was cracked, spray painted in red it said 'long live the legend'. Vegeta stared in disbelief and pent up insanity at the term and the referral or Riley as being one. He nearly lost it in that room to go track her down and rid her from his palace.
When Bulma walked over behind Vegeta and peeked in from over his shoulder, she read what was on the broken mirror and understood exactly what it meant. It had 2 meaning. The first being sarcastic and saying she would probably be killed soon and the other saying that Riley was going to win. She dropped her head a little and looked around the room to she what she was going to deal with cleaning up.
"Go to Chichi and stay with her tonight. Ill have some servants come clean this up for you." Vegeta noticed Bulma barely heard him and he was about to repeat himself when she finally looked at him and nodded. Vegeta noticed how dazed she was but didn't say anything else in his own anger. He thought she would be cussing and freaking out or something frank, but she just stayed solemn. Not a Bulma trait.
Vegeta shut the door to the garden and locked it before turning to leave her room.
"I think ill go have a talk with a certain someone." Vegeta thought taking a different path then normal down the hallway.
Bulma collected herself together and walked out of her room and over to the door next to hers. She knocked lightly not really wanting to wake Chichi and when no one answered she opened the door and walked inside. Chichi's bed was empty. Everything looked like normal but Chichi just wasn't there.
Bulma started to get upset thinking something bad had happened to Chichi. Bulma's tail lashed about behind her in irritation. "No one will EVER hurt my best friend. She doesn't deserve anything bad!" Bulma was about to race out of the room to find Chichi but as soon as she turned around she saw Chichi at the door.
"BULMA! Thank the gods your alright!" Chichi yelled as she ran in to hug Bulma.
Bulma accepted the hug happily. "Where were you Chichi?"
"I heard people in your room ripping things and throwing things about and I got scared you were in there so I ran in but when I did no one was in there and everything was thrown about. I saw blood on the mirror and I ran to get Kakkorot." Just as Chichi said his name Bulma saw him enter the room.
As soon as Kakkorot noticed Bulma was in the room his hand went up behind his head and his expression went into a wary smile. "When Chichi said you were missing and thought you were dead I went out looking for you." His cheeks turned red as well as Bulma's cheeks.
Bulma cleared her throat and looked around embarrassed. "Well Chi…That was actually just spray paint on the mirror."
"Oh Thank God! So you were out of the room before al that happened?"
Bulma guessed Kakkorot didn't tell her his story. "Yeah I guess you could say that."
Chichi sighed in happiness. "Good, after I heard you were with Vegeta I stayed with Kakkorot until now. I was too scared to come back here."
"I don't blame you." Bulma said sighing herself. "Kakkorot? Can I talk to you privately?" Bulma said her nerve back into her body once more.
Kakkorot's face got a little redder knowing what the topic was about. "Sure Bulma."
"Chichi do you think you could make a bed for me?" Bulma asked.
Chichi immediately nodded and got to work leaving whatever business was between Bulma and Kakkorot to themselves. Chichi knew Bulma would end up telling her sometime anyways.
Bulma and Kakkorot walked into the hallway. Bulma looked up and down the hall to see if anyone was around as she shut the door behind them.
"….so….." Bulma started. "Can you tell me what happened?"
Kakkorot seemed to fidget in his position. "Well all I know is that when you fell I didn't even realize it was you at first. I was out walking to find the entrance to your garden to see if I could catch who was doing stuff in you room. I was walking through the market and a few seconds after you feel I realized you were….." Kakkorot faltered for words.
"Not decent?" Bulma added for him trying to make it easier. Bulma tried to keep her mind clear and just comprehend what he was saying instead of feeling embarrassed.
"Yes…" Again he brought his hand behind him and rubbed the back of his head. "You almost fell on top of me actually. I didn't know it was you to begin with I just knew I should get you out of the market when you're….not decent… like that. Saiyan people can get really cruel. I ran with you back to the palace before anyone could see you. I had you in my cape. Then when I got to the palace I realized you needed help for your injuries and went to Vegeta to get you some help. I knew he would know what to do."
Bulma then did something she defiantly didn't expect to do…She laughed.
Kakkorot was kinda scared that she had gone crazy but then grinned and started laughing with her not exactly sure what she was laughing at.
"So that means….hahahahah…that Vegeta hahahahaha to put me in the regeneration tank naked and to change me afterwards?" Bulma said
Kakkorot just keep laughing. "Yup."
"And…hahahahahahaha…these clothes im wering now…hahahahahahah…they are Vegeta's?" Bulma was hysterical in laughter.
Still Kakkorot was laughing and again answered. "Yup."
Bulma completely stopped laughing and her face fell into a look of pure mortification.
Kakkorot's laughter still filled the air till he realized he was the only one laughing. Then he stopped and looked at Bulma.
Bulma had finally put everything together and realized her own fear became worse. Kakkorot may have helped her escape impending embarrassment from the market seeing her but instead a worse thing happened.
"The Prince has seen me naked………then I kissed him!"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Then WHAT THE HELL happened to your face Riley!" Vegeta screamed.
"My friends and I were training. I got injured. So what?" Riley said walking up to the prince. "You should go talk to that Chichi girl she really looks suspicious to me."
"Oh because you know I've maybe seen her smack a fly once! But there's always that look in her eyes that say 'hey! I think I'm going to kill Bulma today!'" Vegeta said in a mock sarcastic manner.
Riley pushed herself against the prince and let her arm slide up his rock hard chest and rolls slowly around his neck trying to pull him into a kiss. When her mouth got close enough he whispered gently. "I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to kill that skank."
Vegeta grabbed her arm and threw it back away from him. Her wrist smacked against the bed post at the end of her bed in her room.
Riley grabbed her wrist and held it protectively with her mouth dropped.
"So you admit to it?" Vegeta asked rage filling his eyes.
"I admit to nothing. I just don't like her."
Vegeta grabbed her by the throat and pushed her against the wall. He pushed his own body up against her to keep her trapped. "I'm not scared to kill Riley! I've done it before."
"My father would start a riot against you if you did that."
"I can kill your father to!" Vegeta said in dead seriousness.
Riley stopped speaking.
"Speak now oh so powerful legend!" Vegeta sarcastically said.
"I dragged her out to the market naked. It was a joke. It was to embarrass her. To bring her down from her high up 'princess' status level and let her see what life's really like. That's all."
"Then why was she so injured?"
"Who knows? Her bodies way to fragile it's incredible! She must not have been able to take a little fall." Riley said running out of air.
Vegeta backed away from her and released her grip on her neck slightly. "And her room?"
"What about it?"
"It was completely torn up. On the mirror it said…"
"Look I didn't do anything to her room! As to why you would even think I would want to touch her disgusting things is against me?"
Vegeta looked into her eyes finding the blatant lie there. He also felt her intention being more then just to embarrass her. Riley was looking for blood.
Vegeta released her and walked toward the door. "Nothing like that between you and Bulma will EVER happen again!"
"You love her don't you?" Riley said rubbing her throat and wrist. She sat onto the side of her bed and glared at Vegeta waiting for his answer.
"I suggest you dye you hair again the blacks starting to show." Vegeta said then gave her an evil smirk.
As Vegeta left the room he started to think about what she asked. "Of course I don't love her. Why would she ask that?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The next day Bulma was awoke by an alarm clock at 7:30. She quickly jumped from her bed on the couch and hit the button to turn it off hoping it didn't wake Chichi. She looked over at Chichi's bed and saw her sleeping soundly, snoring lightly.
Bulma walked over to the door that divided their rooms and opened it expecting to see a mess everywhere. Instead everything looked perfectly how it was before. Even the mirror had been replaced.
She walked in carefully still kinda nervous. Turning on the light she started to change. There was a large mirror in the closet for her to see her full body. Before she put on her training outfit she looked at her naked body in the mirror. She wondered what Vegeta thought about her.
"I'm not too bad I guess. This is going to be so embarrassing seeing him now that I know this." Bulma ran her hands down her sides trying to self measure her curves. Bulma never thought she was good looking, her parents always made her feel that way by the way they treated her coloration.
Bulma brought her tail in front of her and waved it a little trying to make it sway elegantly. "I wander how queens wear there tails."
Bulma sighed as she tried over and over to get some sort of fancy positioning out of her tail. It wasn't working. She tried putting it into an extremely fancy s shape and suddenly a strong immensely painful cramp formed in her sensitive tail.
"Oh my Kami! It feels like a Charlie horse!" Bulma said out loud thinking about the strange game Chichi and Bulma made up when they were younger where they would wrestle till someone got a Charlie horse anywhere in there body.
Bulma fell to her knees and curled up into a ball and held her tail till the pain went away. After a few more minutes of throbbing pain it wore off little by little. Bulma looked at the time.
"AAAHHH! Why is all this happening to me? It's almost 8:00 meaning Vegeta's going to be here." Bulma got up still feeling an ache in her tail. She held it still as much as possible but it killed when trying to get it through the hole in her spandex pants. Any direction she would move it would cause another ounce of pain.
After Bulma got everything on she looked in the mirror at her once more while pulling her hair into a pony tail. She had a black sports bra and spandex shorts on with her favorite pair of worn in tennis shoes.
Right before Bulma left the room she realized just how long her hair was. Bulma frowned imaging her trying to fight and her hair smacking Vegeta continuously. Bulma chuckled a little.
"Hey it could help offensively." Bulma frowned again. She pulled it up into a tight pony tail and still her hair trailed down to her mid back. She thought about cutting it because of how much Riley loved to pull on it, but decided against it. It took her so long to get it this far.
Finally there was a knock on the door. Bulma walked over her tail killing her.
Bulma opened the door quickly.
Vegeta looked her up and down. "You look like crap."
"Lovely! Let's go." Bulma said walking into the hall, ignoring his statement.
After a few minutes of silent walking they made it to the training room. Bulma face reddening deeper with every moment because she was thinking about the kiss too much.
"Let's start with stretching." Vegeta told her, walking over and taking off his shirt to reveal a sleeveless under armor shirt.
Bulma's mouth threatened to drop. Even through the soft black fabric Bulma could see every rippling muscle he had with definition.
"Vegeta have you ever gotten a Charlie horse in your tail?"
"A Charlie what?"
"An extremely painful cramp in your tail." Bulma said rubbing the side of her tail trying to stop the small ache.
"Often."
"What do you do to stop the pain?"
"Why? Did you get one?" Vegeta asked her.
Bulma brought her tail in front of her and looked at it still trying to massage it. She nodded in reply.
"Come here." Vegeta said leaning against the wall of the oval room. "You will get them often when training. The weakness will leave your tail as you get stronger and they won't hurt anymore."
When Bulma got close enough he grabbed her tail gently making her turn so her back was facing him. He smoothed all the fur along it then started massaging it near her tail bone.
Bulma felt a little strange having his hands near that region but didn't say anything because of the great feelings she was getting. The nerves that go up through her tail and around her spine up to her neck became sterilized with pleasure. She realized a low purr almost erupted from her throat as he made his way up, but when Vegeta got to the spot where the cramp was. Pain wracked through her body.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Bulma scream echoed thought out the sound proof walls.
Vegeta rolled his eyes. "There's going to need to be a lot of improvement..."
