A Prince and His Princess
Vegeta's a prince and Bulma's a third class saiyan living on Planet Vegeta. What happens when the two must join together to stop Frieza from destroying their planet? Will they succeed or will they immensely fail? A Bulma and Vegeta romance.
Author Notes:
Before I begin, I have to say that I've changed some things. Bulma is a saiyan, not human. Vegeta is a prince and King Vegeta is still alive for the time being. This story takes place when everyone is about in the range of 17 or 18. Goku is in my story as well along with Bardock. Goku is a third class saiyan as well as Bulma and for this story, I'm calling him by his real name Kakarot. Chi-Chi is a saiyan as well and will come into the story at a later time. And I'm still giving Goku Kakarot his sense of goofiness. I just couldn't write him without it! He will however, be serious at times too. And I know that Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta when Vegeta was a kid, not teenager, but I change several things in this Fic. Raditz is off on a mission to destory a planet. You know how King Vegeta sends a saiyan every once and a while to take over or destory a planet? Well that's where Raditz is, he'll come in later in the story.

Chapter 9- Opposition a Bit of Love
Time seemed to drag on as Kakarot and the girl he had rescued earlier stood waiting for Captain Ginyu's "ultimate attack".
Kakarot looked around boredly and wished the strange alien would hurry up. His mind kept wondering to thoughts of his father and whether or not he was okay. This Captain Ginyu was only wasting valuable time...
"So," The girl finally spoke up after several moments.
Kakarot turned to face her, blinking as he did so. He had almost forgotten about the girl, "Yeah?"
"What's your name anyhow?" She asked with innocence, "After all, you did save me and all; I should at least know your name..."
"Oh, it's Kakarot," The third class saiyan replied with another blink. For some strange reason, the girl was staring at him strangely. He moved closer to her and narrowed his eyes.
A smile crossed the girl's face and she gave a sly look. "I knew you weren't as innocent as you looked," She replied, her smile widening.
"Um, forgive my asking but, are you okay?" Kakarot asked.
The girl was caught off guard, "What!" She asked, trying to contain herself from falling backwards out of surprise.
Kakarot merely scratched his head in response. "Well, uh, you keep staring at me with this weird look and so I-"
The girl gave a loud groan and slapped her forehead. She turned around in revulsion and slight sorrow.
Kakarot opened his mouth to speak once again when suddenly, the purple alien yelled out loudly, gaining the saiyan's attention. He turned toward Captain Ginyu and got into a fighting stance.
Captain Ginyu smiled with a laugh, "All is ready; my ultimate attack can be done."
Kakarot glared, "And just what is your ultimate attack?" He asked.
Captain Ginyu only laughed, "Oh, but if I tell you that, it'll ruin the surprise." He got into a fighting stance. "Now, let's go!" He called, charging straight for the saiyan.
Kakarot was quick to act and dodged the attack aimed for him. However, the girl still remained in the same spot she had been, not bothering to turn around. She was sent flying downward toward the ground before catching herself and hovering back toward the sky.
"You jerk!" She called, pointing toward Ginyu, "How dare you!"
Captain Ginyu only rolled his eyes, focusing back on Kakarot.
"So you want to ignore me, is that it!" The girl continued on with anger.
Kakarot looked toward the girl with bewilderment. He had just witnessed her happy one moment and now she was steaming mad. It reminded her of Bulma in a way...
Captain Ginyu turned back toward the girl slowly, his arms crossed. "Yes," He replied, answering her question, "I had intended to, but if you wish to die...then by all means, step up." He glided over a few inches, motioning for her to come forward.
The girl hesitated, looking toward Kakarot for any signs of approval.
"Well, come on," Captain Ginyu continued challengingly, "Let's see what you've got."
The girl peered at her scouter through the corner of her eye which was slightly cracked at one end and read his power level. It was high, that was for sure, and she hadn't really intended to fight him. But now...
She looked back toward Kakarot and gasped to see that he had vanished. The girl shifted her eyes nervously, desperately looking around for the spiky haired saiyan. He wouldn't have really left her out here to fend on her own would he?
"Alright then, if you don't want to-" Captain Ginyu started. Suddenly, his eyes went wide and he turned around quickly only to fall straight down toward the ruined city with a thud as he hit the ground below.
The girl could feel her eyes widening and she looked over herself for reassurance as to see that she hadn't moved. She looked back up again only to come face to face with Kakarot, his wide faced grin baring his entire face.
"Heyya!" He greeted.
The girl only blinked, too astonished to speak at all.
Kakarot looked down toward the city ground then back at his scouter. He nodded with slight solitude. "Yep, he's dead." He turned back to the girl. "Don't worry, you'll be safe now."
The girl blinked, finally regaining back her voice. "But, how-"
"It's just a little trick I learned while training," The saiyan spoke with pride, "I could teach it to you sometime."
The girl's eyes lit up, "Really! That'd be great, I-"
Suddenly, the girl was interrupted by the sound of buzzing. The source of it was Kakarot's scouter. The third class saiyan looked into his scouter and gasped. He quickly turned back toward the girl.
"I'm sorry; I have to go right now. There's trouble." He looked into the distance and prepared to take off.
"Wait," The girl spoke.
Kakarot looked back with urgency.
The girl looked down shyly with a hint of slyness. "I was wondering if I could come too..."
Kakarot looked back at his scouter, reading off the numbers that never seemed to cease increasing. He looked back toward the girl with a stern look. "I'm sorry, it's just too dangerous." And with that, he took off for the sky, leaving the girl behind.
She looked up into the sky, watching the saiyan's hair as it blew through the wind. She sighed heavily and began turning around slowly to return home.
"Kakarot," She whispered into the wind. Her words tampered off softly and she closed her eyes, letting his features wander her mind freely. Then suddenly, opened them again as realization hit her.
"I never even told him my name!" She yelled.
The air seemed ridged as Prince Vegeta flew through the air, his black spiky hair barely giving way to the wind as he went.
His mind was blank at the moment and the only thing that seemed to be occupying it at the moment was his soon-to-be battle with Frieza.
Frieza.
The name sent slight shivers down his spine as he remembered his brutal beating only hours earlier. But this time, he knew what to expect. After all, like his father had told him, a saiyan grew more powerful after every loss. It would be the same situation with him.
The prince smiled slightly at his own thoughts and flew with more force now, taking the wind powerfully, and feeling more ready than ever.
"Would you slow down?" A voice spoke up from behind.
The saiyan prince came to a sharp halt and looked at his scouter. It was Bulma.
He had been so preoccupied with his own thoughts that he hadn't even noticed that ki coming from behind.
"What are you doing here?" Prince Vegeta asked, not bothering to face her.
"I told you not to leave," Bulma answered smartly, "You did so I had to follow you."
"You don't need to do anything," The prince answered with a glare, "except leave me alone!"
Bulma crossed her arms. "See? There you go again!" She flew in front of him, a frown woven across her face. "What is it with you anyway? Do you not like for people to help you? Or are you just too self absorbent in your stupid pride?"
The prince was silent for a moment, too stunned to speak. Finally, after finding no words to say, he once again took off for Frieza.
"Argh!" Bulma yelled, throwing her hands into the air, "Would you quit doing that!" She took off after Prince Vegeta.
Prince Vegeta continued flying, his speed increasing bit by bit. He peered behind him only to see that the blue haired saiyan was still on his tail. He growled and flew faster, changing his course a bit.
Behind him, Bulma kept close behind, determined not to let the prince get out of her site again. She turned this way and that way as the prince changed direction once again. Finally, he stopped and turned toward her.
"What is wrong with you!" He yelled.
Bulma stared at the saiyan quizzically. "What are you?"
"I told you not to follow me, but obviously your puny brain can't comprehend what I'm saying, so maybe I have to put this in smaller terms..." He paused and glared deeply at her, "LEAVE!"
Bulma stared at him with disbelief. She had rescued him, if it hadn't been for her, he wouldn't be alive right now. And now, here he stood, telling her to leave his site, as if she was completely useless.
"Fine," She spoke up finally, "You want me to leave; I'll leave. But don't ever come to me for help, not now, not ever."
"I don't need your help," Prince Vegeta replied.
The air was silent and a feeling of stiffness filled the air. Without another word being said, Bulma turned and began taking off for the opposite direction in which Prince Vegeta was headed. The wind in her hair and tears in her eyes...
Meanwhile, several miles away, Frieza entered the gates of King Vegeta's castle...
Author's Notes: Don't you all just want to strangle me for taking so long to update? ;; Sorry, over time I found other things to do and time got..."lost". I plan on updating all my other Fics really soon too and I'm working on a site justfor my fanfiction. As for this chapter, I know it had quite a bit of "the girl" and Kakarot in it but this is probably one of the last chapters to focus on them.
