Chapter 9

"I can't believe this! I mean what have I done to deserve this! Was I some evil prick in my previous life! Is that girl mentally unstable? No, don't answer that! All you Saiyans are unstable! I mean one minute your happy the next your threatening to blow up the planet! Speaking of blowing up! Oh! I just no the first little thing I do wrong I'll be killed! I can just see it now! I don't scrub the grout right and good-bye little Miss Bulma! Ooh what am I going to do! I can't work with Him!" Bulma threw herself on her bed pulling her pillow to her face. She tried to suppress her sobs, but it was to no avail. Ever since she had found out about Yamcha's cheating ways her life had gone from bad to worse. Maybe it's all my fault, she thought. Maybe if I had been more polite, more ladylike then I wouldn't be in this position. It all makes sense now! Why I had only two friends, my fiancée cheating on me to later dump me, in front of the entire court no less, and my abduction to this barbarous place! I'm useless!

"I'm hideous!" Bulma wailed.

Chi-chi had been trying to calm down the overly-dramatic woman, but had stopped suddenly with her little outburst. "You're hideous? Somebody called you hideous and now you're crying as though somebody had died?"

Bulma sat up and rubbed her eyes with the backs of her hands. "No, but I am! Just look at me!"

"Yep, I would have to agree," Chi-chi smirked. Bulma angrily threw a pillow at her. "Don't blame me! Go look in the agricul."

Bulma gave her a blank look. Chi-chi stared at her with a quizzical look upon her face, "What?"

"How am I supposed to know what an agricul is?" Bulma sniffed unconsciously raising her nose arrogantly.

"Oh! It's that thing you look at to see your reflection. I mean you have had to have heard of them! I mean with your narcissistic attitude it would a sin not have invented one!" Chi-chi laughed. Bulma's cheeks turned a slight pink at the insult.

"I will have you know I have not looked at one since I was tragically abducted!" Bulma exclaimed.

"Oh will you get over that already! You weren't abducted! You were given to us as a servant to prove your planet's loyalty! Ok! You aren't some powerful lady anymore! No one is coming to rescue you! No one cares about you!" Chi-chi screamed. Bulma stared wide-eyed at her in shock. Her face drained of all color. Her back began to curve. Her head drooped, and her eyes fell to her lap.

Sniffing once she stood up. "You're right," she whispered. She walked out of the room into the hallway without once looking back. The door shut with a swoosh leaving Chi-chi staring guiltily at the door.

"Can you believe it! She reassigned her to my room! I won't be able to last a day without blasting her! She is constantly screeching in that annoying high pitched voice! It gives me chills just thinking about it! Grrrrrr! Once I get my hands on that bitch I'll throttle her!"

"Oh, but I thought you couldn't hurt her? Isn't that against the treaty?" Kakorrot asked. Vegeta snapped his head in the other man's direction.

"Yes, don't you think I know that!" Vegeta demanded.

"Oh…"

"What!" Vegeta growled. Kakorrot looked thoughtfully over at him.

"Well, then why is she so scared around us? I mean if we can't hurt her she shouldn't be afraid," Kakorrot answered.

"Obviously she doesn't… know…"

"She doesn't know what?"

"Never mind, Kakorrot, I've just thought of-" Before he could finish the training room doors were thrown open to reveal a distraught Chi-chi.

"Chi! Hey! I haven't seen you since lunch and that was… ummm…" Kakorrot trailed off looking blankly at the ceiling.

"Idiot," Vegeta mumbled frowning at the intruder.

"Oh, Kakorrot! I can't find her anywhere! If I don't find her I just know something bad will happen to her!" Chi-chi cried. She rushed over to her fiancée and grabbed his training gi. "I haven't seen her and she's been gone for hours!"

She anxiously pulled down on him until his nose was touching her nose. "Gah! Whoa, Chi! What happened? Who's gone and where's Bulma? I thought you were looking out for her? It's not a very nice place for aliens to be running around alone, ya know."

"Oh, Kakorrot, Bulma's missing!"

Vegeta jerked his head up instantly at the outcry. His face went slack. She was missing?

"Geeze! What happened?" Kakorrot asked puzzled by sudden loss.

"I-I d-don't know! Well, I do. It's complicated. I was being me. I mean not that that's bad, but she was her! I didn't mean to, and now she's gone-"

Vegeta frustrated by the woman's rambling and pained by the woman's loud wails on his sensitive ears he snapped. He quickly grabbed her, and thrust her up against the wall. He slowly began to clench down on her neck stopping the flow of air. Chi-chi's arms began to swing wildly at the attack. She hesitantly grabbed onto his hands and tried to pry herself loose. Her breathe caught in her chest broke all flow of words.

"Vegeta! Let her go!" Kakorrot yelled alarmed. Vegeta ignored the plea and continued to tighten his grip. "Vegeta, is you don't put her down now I will have to hurt you!"

"Like you could, third-class!"

"I may not be as strong as you, but I won't let you to hurt Chi-chi!"

"You know you should be thanking me for shutting her up! She can screech louder than the woman!"

"Vegeta, she can't breathe! She'll die!"

"One less harpy for me to deal with," he laughed smirking at the angry Kakorrot.

"Vegeta!" Kakorrot bellowed. His voice deeper and more mature than it normally was the voice he reserved only for battle. Vegeta's smirk disappeared and he narrowed his eyes at the other man.

"Do you dare order me around, third-class?" he growled.

"No, but I'm asking you as a friend, let her go."

"I do not have friends!"

"Please, she'll die if you keep this up!"

"She deserves it! She was supposed to watch the woman! No! She looses her! If she goes missing guess who gets the punishment! Me! I will not deal with her mistakes! They will not go unpunished!"

"Please, I love her," Kakorrot pleaded. Vegeta hissed in disgust and threw the nearly unconscious Chi-chi across the room. "Thank you, Vegeta."

"I don't need your thanks. Now, wench, tell me where the woman is!"

Chi-chi slowly sat up propped by a concerned fiancée. Rubbing her throat she gasped for breathe. Glancing up she narrowed her eyes dangerously at the scowling prince. "I…I d-…don't…know. She… l-…left the room… about…four hours ago…She…n-…never came…back."

Vegeta's scowl deepened. How dare she let the woman out of her sight! If she even got one scratch on her, it would be his head! If others knew she was here their plan would be ruined and Freiza would massacre them all! Damn lizard! Damn wench!

"Don't worry, Chi-chi, we'll find her. She can't have gone far," Kakorrot crooned to the distraught Saiyan woman. Chi-chi buried her face into his chest and sobbed silently.

"I'll go search and if one hair on her head is harmed I will find you responsible!" Vegeta growled. He stalked out of the room slamming the door behind him cracks littering the wall where the door had hit.

"There, there. It'll be ok," Kakorrot comforted rubbing Chi-chi's back.

"Where could she have gone? I bet she's just killed herself and I'm out here on some wild goose chase! Fuck! That'll mean another trip to her blasted planet! Kami dammit!" Vegeta muttered to himself.

He stomped through the hallway mentally berating himself. He had been looking for the missing Bulma for the past half hour and had found no trace of her. She's probably back in her room asleep while I'm out here wasting valuable time and energy on some kind of useless hunt, he ranted silently. He had almost given up search when a flash of blue caught his eye. He turned his heard sharply to see a figure huddled outside in the dark and rain. He left the hallway and entered the private gardens of the palace. He silently walked up to the figure and stopped right behind them.

"You know it's punishable by death to be in here, woman."

"Go away, Vegeta."

"Your death."

"Do it."

"Do what?" he asked stupidly looking down upon her. She returned his stare.

"Kill me."

He stared at her, almost letting his mouth swing open. She looked desperate. Her face had lost all glow now more of a sickly pale color. Her eyes were an empty blue, no sparkle, there seemed to be no more life left in them. Her hair hung in rivulets of aquamarine down her back, blending in with the torrent of rain. Her whole body screamed lost, hopeless, and despair. She was curled up trying to keep herself warm against the breeze. Her large blue eyes looked up at him in puzzlement and lost hope.

"Why?"

"Because."

"That's not a good reason."

"Did you ever need a reason to kill those millions of innocents?" her voice had an almost haunting lit to it.

"You are to not talk of such things."

"I'm surprised. You would have thought someone would have been able to kill someone as useless and ugly as me." Her head hung back down, her eyes falling to a bald of wet grass.

"Who said you were useless?"

"I am aren't I? Does it matter who admitted it? I grew up alone. My parents died when I was young. I lived in the palace as a ward of the country. I was a nuisance to everyone. I was loud, obnoxious, and unruly. I had a bad temper and everyone knew if I was mad. It didn't help things that I was oddly colored. Who's ever seen a blue headed girl before? I'm the first and probably the last. I was the joke of court. All the girls around me were married off by age seventeen. I'm nineteen now. I had a fiancée, but he left me for a whore. I would never give him what he wanted. It never felt right. It was probably my fault. Plenty of girls slept with their fiancées, probably why they ended up married. I'm ugly! How could someone want me? I'm a nobody. A nothing."

Vegeta watched her envelop into heart wrenching sobs. He wanted to run away. He hated emotions. What useless trash. But something unpleasant was squirming in his stomach at the sound of her heartbreak. He knelt down against his better judgment and pulled her shivering body towards his. She leaned into him crying into his shoulder. He slowly rubbed her back like he had dome earlier with Lechuga. He pressed her head into his chest hoping to quiet her sobs. She slowly began to quiet shivering against the wet and cold.

"Why do you help me? You hate me," she pointed out her eyes looking pleadingly up at him begging him not to hurt her anymore.

"Who said I hated you?" he asked. He cupped her cheek with his hand and lifted her face upwards. He slowly leaned down to her upturned face and lightly pressed his lips to hers.
