Chapter 10

I don't own DBZ

"Come on Kakarot."

"But why me?I didn't do anything."

"Just shut up kid and come on! I don't have all day." Vegeta grunted. "Besides, I don't know where anything in that house may be."

"What makes ya think I know?"

"Haven't you been in there?"

"Once or twice."

"Then come on stupid."

Bulma and Yamcha were making out in the distance, but Bulma had to stop because she started laughing. "What is it babe?"

"That Vegeta is so sweet. We're at war with each other and he's still willing to do something for me." She gasped. "I think he likes me!" She became so proud of herself. She managed to make a total bad boy like a little farm girl like her. 'This certainly is interesting.'

Yamcha looked shocked, but then his expression turned to horror, and then to instant anger. "I'll rip him to pieces if he thinks about taking you away from me!"

"Oh, he nevah said he wanted ta have me, but its kind a obvious now." She smirked. "He's kind a cute."

"What?" Yamcha's eyes bucked. "What do you mean by that?"

"I mean what I said. Relax Yamcha, if he does like me, then it's a one way feeling. He's a jerk and I hate him so much! He's do'n me a favor, but he's go'n down after that! I'm not going soft on his rich city butt!"

"Good. The only time I wanna hear a mention of Vegeta is when you're scheming to get him." Yamcha hadn't known Vegeta for a very long time, but he already managed to have a deep hatred develop for Vegeta that he couldn't quite explain. All he knew was that Vegeta has in his way.

"Don't worry Yamcha. If he tries anything, I'm going to get him."

Vegeta and Goku opened the back door and entered the cozy little kitchen. Goku thought it was nice, even though it wasn't as big as his kitchen, but Goku's family really needed the kitchen. Cooking was one of the most if not the most important thing to the family. Vegeta felt very cramped just stepping into the room. It had everything a kitchen should have, and was painted yellow, but it was so tiny. "Let's hurry up Kakarot."

"Sure, sure, whatever." Goku said. Hewanted to get out of there. He didn't even know why he was following his cousin's every single word. Goku and Vegeta began searching for papers, to see if they opened up their mail and had it set out anywhere.

"Kakarot"

"Yeah cousin Geta?"

Vegeta grunted at the name. "Stop calling me that."

"Then call me Goku!"

"Don't raise your voice! Just go out to the mail box and see if there's an envelope with no address on it. It's bigger than the average envelope, so you should spot it no problem."

"But that's against the law. Ain't it?"

"And so is coming into someone's house uninvited, Kakarot. Just go do what I told you to, and stop fooling around!"

Goku sighed and went through the back door andtried to run to the front of the house, but his father spotted him and called. "Kakarot, get over here!"

Goku felt guilty, and felt sick in his stomach. He wanted to blurt out everything about the war between Bulma and Vegeta, and the scheme that they were plotting just to get the envelope back and even what the envelope said. "Y-y-yes sir?"

Bardock was on a dirt road near the side of the house with a tractor. "Go and ask Mrs. Briefs where she last put the tools." He wiped the sweat off his forehead. "I've gotta get under the tractor and see what's wrong with it."

"Y-y-yes sir."

Bardock's eyebrows narrowed and he gave his son a death glare with his eyes. "Boy, what are you up to?"

"Nuthin, sir!"

"You sure?"

Goku knew his father wasn't really asking a question. He knew that his father knew he was doing something, something wrong. Goku could almost feel the switch, but then again, he didn't really do anything, so he calmed down. "I'm positive."

"What about school?"

Goku began to sweat. "School? What does school have to do with the now?"

"So there's more than one thing bothering you then?"

Goku started to panic again. "I don't know what yer talk'n about, pa."

"Yer teacher called."

Goku's head hung down low. "Oh."

"What's been go'n on, boy?"

Goku looked towards the front of the house where the mail box was located and just wanted to get away from his father. "Uh...well...can we talk about this at home, pa?" Goku tried to think of a good excuse. "So can we talk in private?"

Bardock frowned. "There's no one around, Kakarot. It's just me and you. Everyone else is on the back of the house, working in the fields."

"Pa, can we please talk about that at home?" Bardock just gave him a stern look and told him to get. Goku ran to the mail box in hope that he would get there and Vegeta's letter would be there. Goku was actually beginning to think that Vegeta should just go through with his revenge. Stopping might be more bothersome than going through it.

Back inside the house, Vegeta was waiting for Goku impatiently. 'Where is that clown?'

"Oh, is that you, Vegeta?" said Mrs. Briefs stepping into the kitchen. "Oh, hi dear! How have you been today?" Vegeta tried to ignore her and give her the cold shoulder as much as possible, but she kept talking, and talking, and talking. She didn't even notice that he wasn't talking back at all. She just kept going. "So anyway, we got the dogs neutered yesterday. They seemed a little upset. I wish that..."

'She's been talking for ten minutes, and I'm already going insane! Where are you Kakarot?'

Goku ran to the mail box, but not before Mr. Briefs came out of the house, smoking a cigarate in one hand, with his other in his pocket. He was a short man who had let age creep in and make its mark on his face. He had grey hair here and there with some, but the rest of his hair was a very light shade of lavender. He was slightly muscular. He wasn't anything to scream over, but enough to land what he got. "Goku" he said with a casual nod as he approached the mail box and got out all of the mail. The letter on top had no address. "Strange" he said. He turned to Goku questionably. "Is there somethin ya want?"

Goku could feel Vegeta ripping his heart out. "Uh...my pa..." he couldn't take his eyes off the letter. "My pa needs the tools to fix the tractor."

He slightly smiled. "I'll give them to him. I've been meaning ta talk to him. Yer father certainly is a wise man."

Goku smiled in respect for his father. "My daddy don't seem ta think of himself that way, but I thank ya for yer kind words, sir."

Mr. Briefs was about to walk off, but he handed Goku the mail. "Could you bring these to my wife?"

Goku's eyes lit up. "Sure thing, Mr. Briefs!" Goku snatched them from him and ran back towards the direction that he came from, but was yelled at by his father. Goku felt a pain in his stomach, and gulped."Yes sir?"

"What's with the mail, and where are the tools?"

Goku held the mail in his hands tightly. "Well, Mr. Briefs wanted me to give this to Mrs. Briefs. As far as the tools go, Mr. Briefs is gonna bring ya some."

"As long as I get them." Bardock signaled his son to leave, and Goku left with no hesitation.

When Goku ran into the back room of the house, he greeted Vegeta with a smile. "Got it."

Goku didn't realize that Mrs. Briefs was right there withVegeta. "Oh, what a sweet boy! You got the mail!" Mrs. Briefs took the mail from Goku's hands, and smiled brightly. "How would you like some cookies and milk?"

Goku's worry instantly left and he smiled brightly. "Oh, I'd love some! Please!"

Vegeta placed his hand over his face. 'The idiot! He had it!'

"I'll be back in a moment" she said as she walked out of the kitchen, and then up some stairs.

Vegeta hit Goku in his head and began yelling at his cousin. "Why couldn't you wait? Or better yet, why didn't you just destroy the letter?"

"Let's just forget about it!"

Vegeta hit Goku upside his head again. "We don't stop until we get what we want! I want that letter, and we're going to get it!"

Goku scratched his head, trying to think. "Well, what should we do, Vegeta."

Vegeta hesitated for a moment. "Well, I'll distract her, and you can go upstairs in her room and get the envelope.

"What makes you think she won't read it now?"

"Because she's not too bright. Her husband probably handles all of that business."

"Okay," she said walking back into the kitchen "it's time for milk and cookies."

"Kakarot has to use the bathroom" said Vegeta.

"No I don't" said Goku.

"Don't be silly and hold it, just go now!" Vegeta was hinting in his eyes what he meant.

"Oh...yes! I have to go!" Goku began holding himself. "I've gotta go really bad."

"Oh...then go use the bathroom, dear. You know where it is."

"Thank you!" Goku ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs as if he really needed to go, but stopped his acting once he was up the stairs.

Mrs. Briefs grabbed a pair of mittens and then took some out of the over. "I love sweets! How about you dear?"

"Sure." Vegeta said annoyed. He didn't want to endure another moment of being in this woman's stupidity.

Goku crept into the Mrs. Briefs bedroom and saw the pile of mail on her bed. 'This is stealing. I shouldn't be doing this.' Goku gulped and grabbed the envelope with nothing on it. 'What am I supposed to do with this?' Goku got a sudden rush of genius and ran to the bathroom. 'I'll get ride of the evidence.' "Goku crumpled up the envelope and placed it in the toilet. 'Goodbye.' When he flushed the toilet, he felt relief, but when no water would go down and kept rising, Goku began to panic. Goku searched the bathroom for a plunger, but there wasn't one in there. "What am I supposed to do?"

Goku ran down stairs into the kitchen just in time to hear "And so she wasn't a virgin after all! After that, I never say Mary again."

Goku forgot what he was doing for a moment when he heard her speak, but he remembered once he saw Vegeta. "Uh...Mrs. Briefs, where's the plunger?"

Vegeta grunted. "Didn't have to go, huh? You're disgusting."

Mrs. Briefs stopped talking about her past friend and said "Oh, did you have to make a-"

"Please tell the boy where the plunger is." Vegeta barked before he could say what was on her mind.

"Oh, well it's in the down stairs bathroom."

"Thank you!" Goku ran to the down stairs bathroom and then up stairs to the bathroom and began plunging the envelope. It took a while, but it got down. "Man, what was in there?"

Goku rushed back down stairs and Vegeta blurted out to Goku "Let's go! We've got a lot of work to do."

Mrs. Briefs appeared almost heart broken. "Oh, don't you want to know what happened to her hemorrhoids?"

"Maybe some other time" Vegeta grabbed Goku by the shoulder and led him out of the house. "So, where is it?"

"I flushed it down the toilet."

Vegeta shook his head in disbelief. "I can't believe you would do such a stupid thing."

"Well, it's gone!" Goku said relieved. "I just want to go home and eat something."

While Vegeta and Goku where doing their chores, Bulma came to them with a smile. "Yer really sweat, Mistah City."

"Hmph. Don't think much about it woman. I just thought it would be better if I held out your secret. Now I have something valuable in my possession that I can use at anytime."

Bulma gave him a sexy smile and kissed him on his left cheek."You're right, but I don't think you'll go through with tell'n my daddy."

"And why would you say that, woman?"

"No reason Vegeta" she lied. She could tell that he had feelings for her, and planned to use it as an advantage. She wasn't quite done setting the rules, and she needed to have him to follow her laws. "Have a nice day, Vegeta." She walked away, swaying her hips. Vegeta studied her hips as she swayed them back and forth. He didn't mean to, but had never met some one like her. She knew that he was watching her, and she wanted to him to.

"Vegeta" Goku said "let's get back to work."

Vegeta smirked. "Sure."

Bulma smirked. 'Vegeta, you certainly are wonderful.'

To be continued...

A/N: Looks like they're both getting feelings for each other, but does Bulma really still want to crush Vegeta? Just wait and see!
