Hey guys. I know you all want to know if Vegeta is alright, so I'm just gonna get to it!

Chapter 6

I don't own DBZ

Vegeta opened his eyes weakly and realized that everything was a blur to him. He grunted, feeling frustrated, not knowing who these two giant blurs were in front of him. "Cousin Geta?"

"Kakarot?" said Vegeta weakly and quietly, so Goku barely hear anything that Vegeta was saying tohim. "Is that you?"

"Yes" said Goku scared for Vegeta's life. He would have never imagined that he would see his cousin so weak and fragile.

"Come closer."

Goku nodded and got out of a chair that he was in and took a step closer. "Yes Geta?"

"Come closer" said Vegeta even weaker, as if talking was sucking his life away.

"Yes cousin Geta" replied Goku as he came closer.

"Closer" said Vegeta with only a whisper.

Goku came up to his bed and looked into his cousin's face filled with pain and tiredness. "Y-y-yes cousin Geta?"

Vegeta's hand slowly rose up in the air and his pain filled face turned into a giant scowl and all his strength suddenly returned to him as his hand came down quickly on top of Goku's head and making a loud "Donk!" noise.

"Ah!" yelled Goku as he stepped back. "What was that for?"

"I told you not to call me that stupid name!" His vision slowly returned to him and he cocked an eyebrow as he noticed a woman by the door. "Cellena?"

Bulma sighed and stepped away from the hospital window and to Vegeta's bed. "Will you please stop with the comic book crap please?"

"No! Not that Selena, but my Cellena."

"Vegeta!" Yelled his mother as she stepped into the room with her hands clutching on her purse tightly. "I'm so glad you're okay." She came up to his bed with a never-ending smile. "I was so worried when your uncle called. They said you had a concussion and wasn't sure when you would wake up."

Vegeta turned away from his mother, still upset that he was banished from his wonder home in New York and forced to live in Oklahoma with his dull country family from no where. "And why did you come here?" Vegeta asked annoyed.

"I wanted to know if you wanted to come home."

Vegeta's eyes grew softer and he faced her, trying to hide the smile on his face. "You mean now? I don't have to wait until Thanksgiving?" Although a smile did not come to his face, happiness could be heard in his voice.

His mother sat down on his bed and placed her hand on his. "We were going to make you stay until Thanksgiving, but when I got the call, I called your father and asked if you could come. He said he wanted your back to get the proper treatment so you wouldn't have back trouble your whole life." She smiled. "So do you want to come home?"

Vegeta looked over to his cousin who looked a little upset with what Cellena said. He didn't really care about his feelings that much, but when he looked over at Bulma's sad expression, a little scowl came to his face. "I want to stay until my punishment time is fulfilled."

Cellena looked startled, but then found the words to speak. "But why? I thought you would hate it here!"

Vegeta grunted. "I have something to prove now." he said quietly, hoping that only his mother heard what he had said.

"But son...you'd rather stay here? Why? I don't understand! You never wanted to come here." She looked over to the blue haired girl that she had noticed before. "Is it because of this pretty girl here?"

Bulma turned a dark red, while Vegeta's cheeks became a slight shade of pink. "No mother. It has nothing to do with her."

"I hope not. Pretty girls are what got you into this situation."

Vegeta rolled his eyes. "It's not because of her mother. I just want to stay and that's final!"

She sighed and her eyes became sad. "Alright Vegeta. If that's what you want, then I'll leave you be." She got off his bed and patted Goku on the head. "Look out for him kid."

"Sure thing aunty" said Goku with a gigantic smile, now happy that his cousin was staying with him until Thanksgiving, like originally planned.

"How would you like to come and visit?" she said sweetly. "Ever taken a boat ride?"

"I've taken a raft out on the lake before."

She smiled. "Maybe I'll take you on our yacht someday. Would you like to visit?"

"That sure would be nice aunt Cellena, but I can't leave my pa and ma right now. Maybe next summer or somethin like that."

"Sure thing sweetheart."

Vegeta rolled his eyes, being highly disgusted with the thought of Goku on his yacht. "So mother, where is father at? He hasn't graced me with his presence, so I'm guessing that he's still in New York."

She frowned. "Now stop that. I know you're upset with him, but don't be a smart mouth. Your father is on a business trip in Hawaii. He asked if he should come, and I told him no."

"Do you think he would have?"

"If it was serious enough." She rubbed her forehead, frustrated with her son's attitude. "I'm gonna go get a cup of coffee. If you want to stay here than that's fine. I'm going to catch the next flight back to New York." Cellena walked out of Vegeta's hospital room and down the hallway.

"Don't got a private jet?" asked Bulma to Vegeta with an attitude.

"What do you think my father rode to Hawaii in?"

"Vegeta" asked Goku "why do you wanna stay here exactly?"

Vegeta gave Bulma a menacing glare. "Listen woman, you may think that I'm some sort of punk that you can scare away so I can stay out of your business, but that's not what's going to happen. Okay? I know that the whole horse ridding thing was to make me look like a fool."

"I didn't mean for you ta get hurt Vegeta."

"I know, but that doesn't matter Bulma. I want you and Yamcha to be afraid, very afraid, because whether you know it or not" Vegeta smirked "Batman always win."

Bulma was at first a little scared but then smirked back at Vegeta. "I like you Vegeta. At first I didn't, but yer a real man, but" she crossed her arms "Don't make me have to rip off yer little wings and make you crawl back into the rat whole you came from!"

"Big words from a little girl."

"I'm sorry you got hurt Vegeta. Yamcha didn't tell me that horse was crazy. I didn't mean any of this. We can just call a truce now."

Vegeta started laughing gently. "Truce? Right now?" He stopped laughing and said "But I haven't gotten my revenge yet" he replied with a deep voice that sent chills down Bulma's spine, but made her smile still.

"Slap my hand away and I promise you that my claws into your skin will hurt you."

"Bring it on" he smirked "Sugah."

Bulma grunted. "Come on Goku."

Goku cocked an eyebrow. "O-okay."

"Stay here" commanded Vegeta.

Goku decided not to move. "Um...

"Stop fool'n around Goku and come here!" Bulma placed her hands on her hips angrily.

"Stay Kakarot!" Vegeta's command was a menacing growl.

Goku scratched his head. "I ain't gonna let myself be caught in yall war!"

"Too bad!" Vegeta slowly sat up in the bed, just now realizing how bad his back hurt. "You're my cousin-my flesh and blood-you owe me."

Goku sighed and sat back down in the chair that he once sat in before. "Sorry Bulma. I'm gonna stay here. I'm gonna wait until my daddy come take me home."

Bulma looked betrayed and nodded. "Okay. Fine then. I've only known you since you were born."

"I ain't take'n sides Bulma."

"Whatever!" she yelled as she walked out of the hospital room.

"So you're not siding with me?" asked Vegeta in pain from sitting up.

Goku felt bad for his cousin in pain and wondered if he should join forces with him for whatever scheme Vegeta had planned for Bulma. "I'm for ya cousin, but I don't wanna hurt Bulma. I mean look what happened to you!"

"I'll be fine!"

"Excuse me" said a blonde haired nurse as she walked into the hospital room "it's time to take your shots Vegeta."

The color started to drain from Goku's face and he gulped. "Uh...I'm gonna go find my parents. I haven't seen them in at least ten minutes!" Goku jumped out of his chair and made a run for it.

'Wonder what's wrong with him' thought Vegeta.
