A/N: Hi it's me again…I was very happy to have gotten your reviews; I really love getting constructive criticism for the things I write so now I will answer all those questions you asked me:
Sensation0023: no he is not Veggie's kid…he is his little brother but since Ami grew up with nothing but Vegeta he sort of considers him to be like a father and now he wants Bulma to be his mother it is a natural thing for anyone to feel as if the person who takes care of them is their own father.
Fujutsu: Ok…I am sorry I did not illustrate it more but I meant for them to be talking at the party for about an hour or two and then Ami would want to go to the bathroom…I am sorry for the lack of sustenance…I was very sick.
Ok now that I have answered those questions I will continue writing the story…There might be a lemon in this chappy…I'm not sure yet but if there is than I will warn you before it happens.
Chapter 5Rugby
It was a cold and wet morning when Bulma awoke from her slumber; she could still feel Ami's Tail wound tightly to Bulma's waist. She wanted nothing more than to be able to stay there forever but she knew her school, work, training, and her pride would not permit that to happen. She suddenly looked up to be greeted by Vegeta's face, he was staring at her through dazed eyes and she smiled back at him.
"I love it when you smile, it looks so good on you but I think that is only because you do it so rarely."
"Well I love it when you smirk the way you do, you always look like you are getting something good when you do it, like you where given a chocolate bar."
"Well I have a lot of things to be smirking about; I have my first Rugby game today."
"That's right, I'm dancing for that game today, I didn't know you knew how to play rugby, I thought you would have been more of a football kind of guy."
"Nope, I prefer rugby, in this sport I can kick the shit out of the guy I'm up against if he looks at you the wrong way and it is perfectly legal to do it in that game."
"But can't you do that in football too?"
"Yes you can but it is more fun when the guys don't have all that padding and a helmet on them."
Bulma looked down into a pair of black eyes as she felt something move against her, Ami was now wide awake, smiling brightly, she smiled back to him.
"Morning Ami, did you sleep well?"
"Ofcows, I swept with you."
"Oh Ami, you are the cutest little man in the world."
"Well of course, he looks like his older brother." There was a pause and Bulma looked back into the eyes of Vegeta to see his smug smirk on his face.
"Well we should all probably get up now; we need to get ready for Vegeta's Rugby game."
"But Buwma, I want to stay in bed with you."
"Well I will tell you what, if we all get up now than next Saturday when I come to watch movies with you and your brother I will come to sleep with you again."
In a flash of movement Ami had un-wrapped his tail from around Bulma's waist and appeared right next to her bed, he was now pulling on his brother's hand to get him out of bed.
"Come on Vegeta, she can sweep with both of us if you get up wight now." Vegeta shrugged and got out of bed, he quickly went to put on the black leather pants he had worn to the costume party last night.
After they left Bulma died her hair back to the original blue color and then took a shower, she couldn't believe what was happening to her, being so weak for a kid, she knew if Freza where here he would use Ami or even possibly Vegeta to her disadvantage, somehow he was a professional at exploiting weakness and punishing those who had them, she didn't want it to happen but she would eventually have to leave him, and she didn't mean just find another city she meant leave planet earth completely, she would never forgive herself if anything happened to him or Ami, she thought about it and maybe he was thinking the same thing, it was ridiculous that he would ever have a weakness, she got out of the shower and dismissed the idea for later, she went into her closet and got out her dance team outfit, it looked nothing like any cheerleader, it was a spandex top with tan straps and around her chest there where blue flames and the glitter danced in the light, it left her six pack exposed, she had black pants with the same blue glittery flames on the bottom of each pant legs, she let her cerulean hair cascade down her back and her tail wrap around her waist loosely, one of the main reasons she loved this uniform was because it didn't have those stupid pom-poms the cheerleaders had.
"I can't believe I was such a fool, I shouldn't have been so weak around her." Vegeta explained to his dog Kiba
"Don't ever let me catch you being so weak Kiba or I will kill you and your weakness so you can all be happy in dog heaven" Vegeta was fumed pacing his room while his dog looked at him from the bed, Vegeta was all ready to go now, he had on a black jersey with blue flames, letters and numbers, the back said 'Ouji' and he had the number 13, he always thought that was his lucky number, the pants where spandex and black, he looked like the football players but it wasn't padding that covered him it was his pure bulging muscles, and he didn't have a helmet. He picked up his keys and his wallet from the desk in his room and walked into the hallway, in the living room was a girl no older than 16, she had shoulder length strait brown hair with dark brown eyes, she wore a pair of purple glasses, and she was probably about three inches shorter than Vegeta, she was a pretty girl but she was just too young for Vegeta's taste, she was wearing a pear of blue sweats and a black tank top over her tan skin, Vegeta thought she might have been from Mexico, but she corrected him and said she hailed from Spain and that there was a big difference between the two places.
"Ok Kirstin, I should be back in about 4 hours, take care of Ami for me, and don't let him have any candy."
"Alright Vegeta, good luck with your game and no rush, I love taking care of your brother for you."
Vegeta was fortunate to have found a girl to baby-sit for him for so little money, that was one thing, he needed to get through school so he could find a better job, he couldn't stand working at that stupid hardware store, it barely paid enough to make rent let alone food, he didn't have the money to afford a pricy baby sitter, Kirstin would just have to do. Ami always was rather fond of her for some reason, she was a tough girl, one of the reasons she was so cheep was because she learned to drive a car because she used to steal them, she had admitted she used to be in a gang, but that also meant if something bad happened than she could protect herself and Ami.
As Vegeta neared the school he saw Bulma's car in the parking lot and he saw her get out of her car, he pulled next to her car and turned off the engine and got out of the car, he saw Bulma's beautiful face, she had sort of a monotone look on her face, not really a sad look but not really a happy look either.
"What's wrong Bulma? You don't seem to be too excited about our first game."
"Huh? Oh hey Vegeta, what where you just saying? I was daydreaming."
"You don't seem to be too excited about our first game."
"Oh, I was just thinking that's all." Vegeta started to walk towards her and when he got to her he hooked his arm around her waist and they started walking towards the football field where the game was at.
"What where you thinking about? You looked worried."
"Oh it's just this new invention I have been working on, I am worried I will never get it done on time, I need an assistant."
"What kind of invention is it? It sounds pretty important for you to be stressing over."
"It is important, it is a Ki damper, if I could get it around any of Freza's guards' necks than it will bring them to their knees in pain, it could kill a human."
"Yeah but what if one of these guards got their hands on it and put it around your neck?"
"That is the ingenious plan I have come up with, I put in the components of sayan DNA and it makes it so that it will amplify any sayans Ki by over a thousand."
"Wow that sounds amazing; it must be incredibly hard to invent something like that."
"It is difficult, I keep putting my sayan DNA in like rabbits and stuff and test the collars on them and they always die from some radio active substance, like blood poisoning, I have to figure out how to fix it."
"Yeah you better fix it before you put it around my neck."
"Don't worry I would never put it on an actual living person until the rabbits could survive."
"And about that whole assistant thing I hope you find one that can keep up with you, you would be pretty hard to compete against or to even keep up with."
"No, they wouldn't have to know much just answer phones and make lunch and find tools for me, and maybe I would teach them a thing or two, like what kind of tools I need, just about anybody could do that job."
"Really, how much does it pay?"
"Oh no there is no set amount, we pay you whatever money you need to live, you would have to live in Capsule Corp. but we would pay for whatever you need, like if your car was about to break down we would buy you a new car and we are flexible with school schedules."
"Wow that is a really good deal, much better than that stupid hardware store."
"Hah, are you considering this job? Would you like to be my assistant?"
"That would be great but I would probably need to keep my babysitter, Kirstin."
"Oh no we have a day care."
"No, I couldn't put Kirstin out of the job, it is like impossible for her to get another job because of her background, and besides, Ami would hate me forever if I made her go away, he loves her too much, and she is street wise, she knows how to keep people safe."
"Well it sounds like she would be a good addition to the day care at capsule corp. so what do you say will you be my assistant?"
"Let me think about it, right now I just want to play some rugby." By now they had walked enough to see the football field that was where they held the rugby games, there was already a line of people wanting to get into the game. Vegeta and Bulma walked until they reached the rest of the players for the rugby game then Vegeta gave her a kiss and Bulma walked over to where she saw the dance team, she saw a few familiar faces looking at her with confused gazes when she finally realized why, they hadn't yet been told about her evening with Vegeta.
"Hey guys, you all ready for our first game?"
"Ahem, what happened just now? Did I miss something? Or did I just see Vegeta kiss you?"
"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you, last night while Vegeta's little brother was in the bathroom Vegeta asked me out and when Ami got out he was tired so Ami, Vegeta, and I went to bed but nothing else happened and then we woke up about 2 hours ago so he went home to change for the rugby game."
"Oh well at least you where honest this time, unlike some of your other boyfriends."
"Shhh, Vegeta might hear you, I don't want him to know about my other boyfriends."
"Why not?"
"Because he comes from a very sayan background, he thinks once you get a boyfriend that is considered mating for life."
"Does he think he is mated to you for life?"
"He might but I don't know yet." Just as she finished that the announcer came on loudly
"Hello and welcome to the first rugby game of the season, my name is Tim and I will be your announcer for this game, now enough with the small talk lets get started on introducing our teams. First we have our home team from Ottogawa High School." The crowd went wild with applause but died down when the announcer introduced who we would be playing against. It was Orange Star High School, last year they had beat our asses into the ground, they where dirty players and they ended up winning against every high school and even most colleges they faced, but this year was different, this year Ottogawa had Vegeta, he already sounded like a promising player and I knew as long as we had Vegeta we had a really good chance of winning this game. I suddenly noticed one guy from the Orange Star team staring at me with a wicked glare, he had a pretend smirk on his face and even though I thought it was sexy when Vegeta did it I did not think the same when this other man did it. I slithered with nasty when he sort of tried to wink at me then somebody knocked me out of my trance when they tapped me on the shoulder I turned around to find it was Kiru.
"Hey Kiru who is that guy over there? The one with all the scars."
"Oh that's Yamcha; he is the star of the rugby team at his school." I looked at him once more and then I heard the music going.
"Its show time girl, you ready?"
"As ready as I ever will be; what about you Mike? You look like your ready to me."
"I am hot, spiced, and ready to go girlfriends." I smiled as I heard him say that, Mike was the only guy on our team, he was also gay, he was always someone I could trust and I always loved the way he danced, he shook, shimmied, twisted and shouted like a pro.
The music began and we went out to the middle of the field and did our routine, it was something we always did, to get the team and the audience pumped for the game we always danced before they played, this was only for our home games though, when we where in other schools we had to let the other dance team go first but we where always there for our games and as the music ended the audience and the team wend wild with cheers for us and then the dance was over and we left the field and the rugby game began.
It was now half time and there was a fifteen minute break between, I was talking to Kiru and Mike when suddenly I felt something grab my behind I looked behind me to find that creep Yamcha from before was just walking away and looking at me, I looked at Vegeta and he looked fumed at the man, he was starting to push though the crowds to get to the man but I beat him to it by the time he was 2 feet away from him I had already nailed him with a ki blast of my own and he was now on the floor as I started punching him and kicking him where the sun don't shine and it is not like I showed him any mercy, I kicked him so hard there the cup he was wearing broke and oh you could tell he felt that one really good and then I hoisted him so high off the ground I myself was flying, my hand was wound tightly around the man's neck
"You listen to me you creep don't you ever touch me ever again; do I make myself clear?" by now he was crying and clawing at my hand to make me let him go, he nodded yes to me and then I let him go, he went tumbling to the ground. As soon as he was cooperated enough to move he looked at me in horror and stumbled to his feet and ran away but he made it to his group of friends and I could only assume they where talking about me.
"You beat me too him, I could have killed him for you if you liked." I looked to where the voice came from and saw Vegeta. His face was red and he stared daggers at the man who dared to feel me up. I gently laced my fingers in his and he looked at me with anger still in his eyes.
"Oh yeah I always wanted a boyfriend who went to jail because he killed a guy, just save it for when Freeza comes, you can kill him."
"So help me if he lays another hand on you, not even you will be quick enough to stop me."
"Ok honey, let's just go with that idea that he is even thinking of laying another hand on Me." he snorted and looked again at Yamcha as I did the same. He was looking strait at me through what looked like a black eye and he had an ice pack on his lip, I could feel he knew I was smirking at my own handy work. Suddenly you could hear the horn that signaled for the game to begin again. Vegeta went back to his team as I went back to mine. It was now time to do our other routine dance. We went onto the field and the crowd went wild with excitement but their screaming turned down as the music turned up and our bodies became like feathers on the wind.
Their bodies meshed and mangled as they met each other with full force. The Gravity was turned up to 350 as their bodies where covered in sweat. But even through the heated battle they where not mad at all in fact they where quite happy and they considered this battle a victorious battle. It was because of the help of Vegeta coming onto the team that they had won against Orange Star High School today. The crowd went wild and I led my team in our victory dance. Needles to say the other team was pissed but we didn't really care. If they where that weak than they deserve to loose.
"Ok Vegeta, lets take a break, I need some water." I turned off the gravity and started walking towards the sink but then something grabbed my ass and before I could respond Vegeta's big strong arms lifted me from the ground and carried me into the next room. The pool room, he started walking closer and closer to the pool and when we where about five feet away from the pool I realized what he was going to do. I struggled in his arms but in contrast to what he thought I was going to do when he tried to dump me into the pool I grabbed his neck and flipped him into the pool on his back and I levitated above the pool laughing and smirking like crazy. While I was in my frenzy of laughter I had forgotten about Vegeta but soon remembered when I felt something grab my foot and yank me into the pool. Right about at that time I stopped laughing and Vegeta started to do it himself. I came up struggling for air while Vegeta recuperated from laughing so hard. I was mad at myself for not thinking of it. Thinking Vegeta would do what he did. I started swimming for the edge of the pool and I got out. I then grabbed a towel and held it against my white tank top to cover up anything from being seen through the sheer fabric and I started walking to the locker area to get changed but suddenly I felt Vegeta's arms wrap around my waist and I stopped moving.
"What's wrong now? Not enough water for you?"
"No, that is plenty of water; I just want to get dressed in dry clothing now."
"Don't lie to me, we both know we could just use our ki to dry us off." I didn't answer but he knew I wasn't happy. In response to my silence he flared his ki around us both and he levitated us both into the air. He gently kissed my neck several times but then stopped after a while and we went back down to the floor and he stopped flaring his ki and started to unwrap his arms from my waist but then I turned around and kissed him dead smack on the lips and I put my hands in his hair and he put his hands on my hips and he pulled my hips to his and than I felt him grow. I felt so bad that I had to do this but I had no choice. I pulled my hands out of his hair and parted from his lips and pulled away from him a few feet. He looked at me with a mix of disgust, anger, and confusion. I felt like a deer caught in the headlights and I didn't know what to do.
"What are you doing? I thought you liked me."
"Vegeta I do like you, a lot, and I hope you can understand this when I tell you that I am just not ready…for…you know…'that'…" All of the sudden all that anger and disgust left his face leaving him with just confusion. I could tell he really just didn't know what to say. He backed up just a few inches himself and started running his fingers through his hair and then he turned his back to me.
"You mean…you have…well…never…done this before?" I remained silent and just nodded my head even though his back was still turned to me he knew what I was telling him.
"I grew up as a human would but I still have those sayan instincts, sex is a big thing for a sayan, they don't just have one night stands. When they have sex it is like mating for life so I guess that is what I have always believed, therefore I have never done it really." Vegeta slowly turned around to look at her.
"I understand Bulma, but I want to ask you something, why would you grow up believing this if you never even remembered our home?"
"Because when I was a child I obviously wondered why my parents didn't have tails and I did some research on our race and when I found out our planet was destroyed by Freeza I don't know something just came to me, like this strange kind of hatred I never understood or felt before, I didn't even know our race or our king or even Freeza but I just instantly knew I hated him for what he had done, and one thing I knew I had to do was to carry on in the sayan tradition, with all those beliefs because I know that if I never forget the culture for my own race than the sayan race will never completely burn out."
"One more question, I hope you don't think I am a pervert I am strictly curious. When do you think you will be ready?"
"I will answer that as long as you answer the same question when I am done."
"Deal, now tell me, what are your plans for the future."
"Well I certainly want to graduate before I become 'mated' but I guess I just want to graduate from high school and then go to college for a few years before I completely take over the corporation but I guess I want to have children somewhere towards the end of college, possibly even right out of high school, I can be a mother and go to school as long as the father takes turns with me raising the children while I am at school, so I guess I want to go to a local college. Ok now it is your turn Vegeta."
"Well I always wanted to be a gym teacher, maybe a martial arts master and have my own karate school. I might go to college if I need to learn to be a teacher but nothing too fancy and well I guess for mating I guess I want to wait till I am out of high school too and I guess if my mate wanted to go to school too we would have to alternate when we go to class. Only go to class if the other one is home."
"Now the question you have to ask yourself is if you can handle me for that long; and if you really did become mated with someone how would Freeza torture you once he found out you have a mate and a kid, Vegeta I know your pride and I know you won't run from this fight if it did come to pass that Freeza came here to kill you and I, what would you do then to protect your family?"
"I would send them far away from this planet for a while until Freeza was dead and then I would come and get them."
"And how would you get them into space?"
"We both are standing in it, you said this thing can go into space, you said you have done it before."
"Cleaver, but what would happen if you died? Than who would go and get your family?"
"I won't die, I will live so I can fight to protect them, I don't know how but I will not fail them."
"Good you have the same attitude that I do."
Ok that was chappy 5……and yeah there was no lemon but I really hope you liked it…….I had the hardest time writing it so you had better like it
With much love
