Chapter Three: A BLUE Saiya-jin!
§

Bulma groaned as she sat up and let out a hiss of pain; her back hurt like hell. She slowly opened her sapphire eyes and took note that it was now dark outside. She paused, something was wrong.
Wait a minute; I remember it being bright out. I was in West City, and those aliens landed in the middle of the city. Where are they now, and what the hell happened to me? Bulma thought, her brow wrinkled in thought.
I also remember a little kid pointing out that the aliens had tail like mine. I wonder…
someone cleared their throat and Bulma spun around the find the source of the voice. That's when she noticed the four men behind her for the first time; they were the same aliens from the city. Bulma's eyes grew wide as she screeched, causing the men around her to wince, and backed up a few feet from were they sat.
"Stop your screeching Onna!" The tall bald one snapped.
"W-What do you w-want?" Bulma asked, her voice unstable.
The short one spoke up, "Who are you Onna?"
She turned to glared into his shady eyes, "One. My name is Bulma Briefs. Two. I am the most beautiful woman on this planet. Three. I am a scientific genius, I can fix, make or duplicate any machine." She said proudly crossing her arms across her chest glaring at them to say otherwise.
Scientific genius huh? I'll have to keep that in mind. Vegeta thought.
"Hn. Why do you have a tail? Are you a Saiya-jin?" The man with long spiky asked.
Bulma blinked. She looked at her tail swaying behind her and shrugged. "I was wished this way." She said simply like that was all the explanation needed.
"Wished?" The man with shorter spiky hair asked confused.
"Hai. You see when I was born I had a disease, to this day the doctors still can't find out what it was. Anyway because of this I was going to die. My dad is stubborn man; he wasn't going to give up on me yet. He went searching for a cure in his lab; my dad is a scientist, when he stumbled upon this box with seven balls inside. When he opened the box the balls began to glow and they flew out an open window, outside the sky became pitch black and a huge dragon formed in the sky. This dragon introduced himself as Shelong, King of Dragons. He told my dad he could have one wish, what ever he desired. My dad wished for me to be cured. Shelong could not do this however, nothing he did could save me because I was human so he told my dad it would be better if her changed my species to something that could neutralize the disease. My dad agreed to this and Shelong changed my into a, what did dad call it again…" Bulma paused from telling her life story to think of the name of the species she was changed into.
"Saiya-jin." The shorter man supplied.
"Yeah that's it." She blinked. "How did you know that?"
"I am Vegeta no Ouji, prince of all the Saiya-jins."
"Oh. And who are your friends?" Bulma pointed to the three men beside him.
Vegeta snorted, "Onna theses fools are my guards. Nappa, a first class solider." The big tall one grunted.
"Radditzu a third-class solider." The man with long spiky hair grunted as well.
"And that fool there on the end is his brother Kakarotto."
The man with shorter spiky hair smiled and waved, "Hiya."
§
"I see…so tell me Vegeta, why have you come to earth?"
"Foolish Onna, respect your Prince!" Nappa snapped standing up to glare down at her.
"Hey buddy, I have no Prince. I may be a Saiya-jin on the outside but I am 100 human on the inside." Bulma spat.
What a fiery spirit she has. Vegeta smirked.
"Sit down Nappa, if need your assistance I will ask for it." He turned to Bulma again. "We were traveling back to Vegeta-sei, our ship needs to be repaired. Fix it Onna." He demamded.
" Well thank you for asking jackass, but I'm on my own quest to search for those balls. I have some questions that need to be answered."
Vegeta rubbed his chin in thought for a few minutes before looking at Bulma again. "I'll make you a deal Onna, you fix my ship I'll show you everything you need to know about Saiya-jins." He smirked.
"Show me? What do you mean?"
"Come with us to Vegeta-sei."
"Vegeta-Sama! You can't, she will be frowned upon." Radditzu said.
"Fool, she is a Saiya-jin too, no matter how odd her coloring."
"Ohh, this will be so much fun!" Kakarotto squealed in excitement. "I know your going to love Vegeta-sei Bulma-San."
"You know, learning about an alien race might not be such a bad idea. And I did say I wanted to do something out of the ordinary…" Bulma was about to agree when her cell phone rang.
Alarmed by this the Saiya-jin stood up and got into a fighting stance looking around them for the source of the noise. Bulma giggled as she pulled out her cell phone, "It's okay guys, it's only my cell phone."
§
"Mochi mochi?"
"Hello Bulma."
"Hi daddy. What's up?"
"Just calling to let you know your mother and I will be out of town for a couple of days."
"So soon?"
"Yeah I know, sorry pumpkin. How is your search going by the way?"
"Not good, I haven't found anything yet."
"Oh. I hope there wasn't a ball in East City."
"How come?"
"It was blown up." Dr. Briefs said slowly.
Bulma dropped her cell phone as she turned to glare at the Saiya-jins behind her.
"Why do I have the feeling you guys had something to do with that?"
"Bulma are you there? Who are you talking to?" Her father asked from the forgotten phone on the ground. Still glaring at the Saiya-jins Bulma picked up her phone. "Sorry about that dad I was just a bit shocked."
"I see. Who were you talking to dear?"
"No one of any importance." She side glanced at the foursome.
"So will you be home soon?"
"Yeah. If I leave now I'll make it home by noon at the latest. Will you and mom be home then?"
"I'm afraid not, Bulma, we're leaving at six thirty."
"Oh, so I guess I'll see you when I see you."
"Hai."
"Ja daddy."
"Bye pumpkin."

Bulma turned off her cell phone and replaced it in her backpack. She turned to the Saiya-jins, hands on her shapely hips and a spark of anger in her eyes.
"You destroyed East City!" She shrieked. "What the hell is wrong with you people? Do you get a kick out of seeing people die?"
"Shut up Onna! We do whatever the hell we please." Radditzu said.
"Like hell you will, if you want me to fix your space pod or even think about going back to your planet you had better save your 'target practice' for when you get to your own damn planet!" Bulma fumed, her face red with rage.
She's so Saiya-jin, for being raised on this mud-ball an all. Vegeta thought.
Bulma sighed roaming through he backpack in search of her capsule case.
"Just promise me you won't kill any more people while your here. Do you think you can do that?"
"Fine." Vegeta agreed.
When she found it she pulled out her motorbike. With a poof the bike appeared before her.
"How? Where? What in the world?" Kakarotto sputtered.
"It's a capsule, that what my father does. Come on I need to go home."
"What of our ships Onna?"
Bulma gritted her teeth as she spun around to glare at the Saiya-jin no Ouji "I have a NAME you BAKA and it's Bulma. Say it with me B-U-L-M-A!" She raged.
"Onna." Vegeta smirked.
"Damn you." Her tail thrashing out behind her.
"I can't believe my dad wished me to be one of you. Note to self, kill daddy when he gets back."
Bulma muttered the last part to herself as she climbed on her motorbike and started the engine.
"You didn't answer my question ONNA, what of our ships."
"Ohh, just leave them here for now. You can come get them after you find out were I live okay, happy now you arrogant asshole!"
"Watch it Onna." Nappa warned her. Bulma simply grunted and turned her head the other away.
"Well are you coming?"
"Please lead the way." Vegeta snickered.
Bulma growled as she mashed the gas speeding off in the direction of West City, her Saiya-jin 'companions' followed above her in the air.
