OOO

As the blackness slowly faded, Bulma realized first thing that she was laying face down, naked and tied up, on what appeared to be a bed. A very uncomfortable bed. She looked around her in a panic, ignoring the pain that shot through her head as she tried to figure out where she was.

A slithery laugh brought her attention to the only light in the room. Frieza sat watching something through his window, apparently amused by what he saw. Bulma gasped, bringing his attention to her.

"Finally awake?" he asked, smirking at her. He left the window, watching her with amusement as she inched her body away from his advancing form. "Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you, much. That will come when Vegeta gets here."

He crawled onto the bed, resting between Bulma's spread out legs, running his claws up and down her back. Once lightly, then harshly, drawing blood. He laughed as she screamed, delighting in her pain and fear. He leaned down to taste the thick, flowing fluid as she started crying.

"Stop," she sobbed, "please stop. Please, don't..."

Frieza laughed again. "You sound just like that monkey did, four years ago. No wonder he's drawn to you. You're both pathetic."

Bulma froze at Frieza's words. Before she could take in the full meaning of what he'd said, however, a claw was shoved roughly inside of her, quickly joined by another one. She closed her eyes tightly against the pain, refusing to give him the satisfaction of hearing her beg again.

She could feel Frieza's length pushing against her butt, and new tears flowed as she realized what he planned on doing. 'Vegeta, help me, please...'

"He's almost here," Frieza moaned into her neck. His erection throbbed as he thought of Vegeta finding him fucking his woman. "That monkey will pay..." He pushed himself inside of her, digging into her sides with his claws as he pumped hard and fast.

Bulma screamed, almost blacking out from the pain. Moments later, she heard an explosion behind her as the door was blasted down.

OOO

Vegeta froze, not wanting to believe what he was seeing.

Frieza dug his claws into Bulma's soft flesh, drawing blood, as he pumped into her with amazing speed. He appeared not to notice Vegeta or Kakarott as he gasped in pleasure, moaning deeply as he rode out his orgasm.

Bulma cried softly as Frieza pulled out of her. "Vegeta, please, help me..." She turned her head, her eyes pleading. He looked at her, angry with himself for failing her. He'd tried to protect her from him, and it hadn't worked. How could she forgive him now?

Frieza laughed gleefully. "What's the matter, Vegeta? Cat got your tongue? Aren't you going to answer the princess? Tell her you're too weak to help her, just as you were too weak to help yourself?" He laughed again, watching as Vegeta turned his hate-filled eyes to his. "There's nothing you can do, monkey. Submit now, and I might let the girl live."

Vegeta stood quietly, his mind working furiously. After a few tense moments, Vegeta said quietly, "Let Kakarott take Bulma to her room, and I will stay here."

"Vegeta, no!" Bulma cried. "No, you can't!"

Frieza pretended to think for a moment, then grinned. "Fine. Hurry up, before I change my mind."

Kakarott hurriedly untied her, scooped her up into his arms and headed for the door. He glanced at Vegeta and nodded in a silent good luck, then walked out the door.

Vegeta listened to Bulma screaming at Kakarott to let her go, and a tight smile came to his lips. If all worked out well, he'd be joining her in a few minutes.

"What did you do to yourself, Vegeta?" Frieza asked, finally taking a closer look at him. "I have to say, it's fairly attractive." Frieza grinned as he started toward Vegeta.

Vegeta held his ground, watching Frieza with unveiled hatred. "You are going to pay for what you've done to my woman, Frieza," he growled softly.

Frieza's grin widened. "So, a fight. Sounds fun. Remember the last time we fought, Vegeta?"

Vegeta remembered all too well. Pushing the memories aside, Vegeta bent down into his fighting stance, watching Frieza closely.

"Come on, Frieza, Vegeta said, forcing a smirk to his lips. "Show me what you've got."

"My pleasure," Frieza said, phasing out. He appeared behind Vegeta, elbowing him in the back.

Vegeta staggered, spinning around and punching Frieza in the face. A flurry of punches and kicks followed, Frieza cursing as he realized this wouldn't be so easy. Vegeta's strength had grown at least ten times that which it use to be. Frieza, always having been the strongest, failed to train regularly and had fallen out of shape.

Within ten minutes, Vegeta had the upper hand.

"How does it feel, Frieza?" Vegeta taunted, landing another powerful blow to the lizard's stomach. "Losing, and there's nothing you can do about it."

Frieza snarled, jumping up and sending a Death Beam Vegeta's way. Vegeta easily dodged it, sending a Galick Gun back in retaliation. It hit Frieza dead on, sending him through three walls of his ship.

Vegeta advanced, laughing triumphantly. "I'm through with you, Frieza," he said, powering up for a Big Bang Attack. "You have hurt me and mine for the last time. Say hello to your father for me." He released the attack, watching as Frieza screamed, his body disintegrating to nothing before his eyes.

OOO

"Bulma, please don't worry!" Chi-Chi pleaded. "It'll be okay. Vegeta's the Legendary now. Nothing can stop him. Bulma! Listen to me!"

After helping her get dressed, Kakarott had taken her to Chi-Chi, hoping she'd be able to calm her down. It wasn't working. Bulma paced back and forth in front of the bed, glancing at the door every few seconds. She'd tried leaving a few times, but Kakarott stood in front of the door, keeping her in the room

"Don't worry, Bulma," Kakarott tried again. "Vegeta's strong. And pissed. He'll win for sure." Kakarott smiled tightly. "If you go there, you'll only be in his way."

"I know, I know," Bulma muttered. "You've told me."

"We're not trying to be mean," Chi-Chi said quietly. "We're just trying to protect you."

Bulma collapsed on the couch. Her head hurt, her body hurt, but all she could think about was Vegeta. Even though he'd hurt her that morning, she loved him. She couldn't help it. Something inside of her connected with him in a way she didn't know was possible. She needed him, and now that she'd realized that, there was a chance she would lose him.

They sat in a tense silence for a few minutes, concentrating on the fight. It was hard to tell what was happening, and Bulma worried more and more by the minute.

A knock at the door made them all jump, and Bulma screeched. "Come in!" Chi-Chi called.

Yamcha and the gang entered the room.

"Um... What's going on?" Yamcha asked as Chi-Chi waved at the two couches. Yamcha sat down next to Bulma, grabbing her hand.

Bulma frowned at him, tuning out Chi-Chi's censored explanation. She'd been so wrapped up in her troubles, she'd forgotten that she'd been leading him on. She sighed. 'I guess I better take care of this before it gets bad.'

She stood up, pulling him to his feet. "We'll be right back, Chi," she said as her sister looked up at her. "Finish the story."

She pulled Yamcha into Chi's bedroom and shut the door. Letting go of his hand, she turned to face him.

"Yamcha, I'm sorry, but I'm in love with someone else," she stated bluntly, seeing no other way of saying it. She watched as he started to frown, then gave a weak smile.

"It's okay, Bulma," he said sadly. "I never really expected us to go anywhere. It was nice getting to know you and spend time together. You're a really great person, and I know you'll make whoever it is very happy."

She thought of Vegeta's temper and personality. She doubted he'd ever be really happy. He seemed to enjoy his dark moods. Why couldn't she have fallen in love with Yamcha? He was nice. Very sweet. And safe. She smiled slightly. She knew she wouldn't be able to handle that for too long. Safe was boring. Her and Vegeta were a perfect match.

She gave Yamcha a hug, then walked back out into the living room. Just as she was about to sit down, Vegeta's ki changed. She frowned as she felt a powerful amount of energy, then cheered as she felt Frieza's ki disappear.

"He did it!" She yelled as everyone joined in. She hugged an excited Kakarott and Chi-Chi, then ran from the room.

OOO

Vegeta exited Frieza's ship slowly, barely able to believe he'd finally done it. Frieza and his father were dead, leaving him the king of Vegetasei. He smiled, powering down. On top of that, he was now the Legendary. He left the landing bay in search of Bulma. If she said yes, he'd be the happiest guy in the universe.

OOO

How sweet! Don't you just love me? (Grin)

Now, that rape scene was not planned. I started writing, and that's what I got. In fact, I went back to re-read what I'd written, and got mad! You know how you get mad when someone in the story makes you mad? Well, I got mad at Frieza! It took me a moment to remember that I wrote it...

Umm...yeah...useless rambling... There is an epilogue coming, so don't be done with this story just yet. R&R R&R!

Until next time!

Ja Ne!
