Hey Guys! Here it is! This might be the shortest time you guys had to wait for a chapter…LOL! Again, I'm still writing at school and work but as always school work come before chapters… … I know…it's wrong…weeps I have the next one in progress…Anyway, enough of my jabbering! On with the Story!
TIWT 18
"Hey Vegeta? I just thought of something…" Chi started.
Vegeta just stared at her. 'Now what?'
"What'll happen when and if Bulma wakes up? If she under his control again, he might attack us again."
"Hmm…yes, you're right. I know the woman has ki restraints in her office. Let's go and get them and put her in the chair in the living room." Vegeta left without a answer from Chi.
Vegeta went to get Bulma since if she were to wake up now 'under control' he'd have more of a chance to fight back than the harpy.
Chi found the restraints and met Vegeta and Bulma in the living room. They put her in the biggest chair possible and put the cuffs on her.
"Do you think they'll hold her?" Chi asked nervously. She didn't want anyone else getting hurt. Plus, she was scared of Bulma when Frieza controlled her. She didn't like to see her best friend getting hurt.
"They should hold her. I'd hate to admit it but they were able to hold me."
"And you're admitting that?" Chi giggled.
"This will be the only time. Don't get used to me being nice to you either."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone Vegeta."
Suddenly there was a loud tumble and some hysterical Son laughter by a father-son duo.
"You think they got everything?"
"Ha!" Vegeta laughed. "I doubt it. They probably just got…the…" Vegeta was speechless, for once. (A/N: I know…shocking!)
'They have everything! No way…' Vegeta thought, not believing.
Goku looked up and saw Vegeta and his wife walking into the kitchen, with jaws dropped.
"Hey guys! We got everything requested."
"We'll see." Vegeta said as he started to look through the stuff poured on the kitchen table.
"How'd you do it sooo fast?" Chi was astounded.
"We just worked together! That's all it took to get everything done. Gohan's speed is amazing!"
"Thanks Dad." Gohan blushed and looked to his Mom. "We had fun Mom!"
"And you did a good job, Baby." Chi said as she praised her son.
"Well, Kakarott and his son get everything asked of them. Now maybe you two can watch over Bulma while me and your mate look for our stuff."
Gohan tensed visibly. He remembered what happened the last time that he was with Bulma. He got a one way ticket through the nearest wall.
Goku sensed this and comforted his son "Don't worry son. I'll be there to hold her off if she goes under again." Placing a huge hand on his son's shoulder.
"Or!" Chi interrupted. "He can stay in the threshold of the kitchen and living room so he'll be able to help if needed and be a safe distance. How does that sound, Baby?" Chi cooed. She didn't want her son to go through the wall again either.
"I think I'm gonna go with Mom's idea." Gohan mumbled. He didn't want his dad to look down on him after all or to think he was a baby.
"That sounds great. I'll even sit by ya and we'll chat! Let's' go!" Goku lifted his son on his shoulders and walked off.
Chi grinned and looked back at Vegeta. "Ready?"
"Yes." Vegeta's answer was short but it was the start of a project that would save his mate's life, at least he hoped.
20 minutes later
"Okay Vegeta. I think that's it."
"Seems so."
"You grab the brooms and our stuff. I'll get the stuff Kakarott and his brat collected."
"Gohan."
"Whatever. I'll call him what I please."
"Oi, Vegeta."
As they grabbed the stuff and walked into the living room to fins Goku and his son sleeping. Goku was stretched out on the lazy-boy recliner and Gohan was sprawled out on his chest with his father's arm around him so he wouldn't fall off. They were both snoring slightly.
"Awww…aren't thy cute?" Chi whipsered.
Vegeta rolled his eyes and walked to Bulma.
'You're gonna be okay. Even if I have to die, I'll get him for you, Princess.' He stroked her face with the back of his hand, praying that she would be okay.
Meanwhile, Chi had gone over to her husband and son. She gently lifted Gohan off his father's chest and cradled him so he wouldn't wake. Goku, feeling the weight being shifted, woke up groggily.
"Hey hun…wussup?" Goku asked sleepily.
As Chi was about to get them up when Vegeta spoke.
"We should rest tonight before we start in magic."
She looked at him and nodded.
"Go back to sleep Goku."
"What about you and Gohan?"
"Well move over a bit and we'll sleep with you. There will be more than enough room for all of us in this loveseat."
Goku smiled and scooted over as much as the seat would allow him and ushered his wife and child to lay with him.
She handed their son to him and sat down. Wrapping her arms around her two boys, she fell into the sleep realm.
Vegeta watched as his one time rival and his family slept peacefully together.
'Will Bulma and I ever have a family and be happy like that? I wouldn't mind it personally.'
Thinking of his distressed mate, who was still sleeping, he curled up on the couch next to her and closed his eyes.
'Tomorrow…Tomorrow Bulma. You will be free from his grasp. That I promise you.'
Dream Sequence
"Daddy!" a small lavender haired boy yelled happily.
"Grab him!" a female voice rang out, laughing.
"Come here Tr…ouff!" Vegeta was pounded to the ground by a little ball of energy.
Bulma ran up to the pair with a face full of anger now, not the happy face that Vegeta saw a few moments ago.
"What do you think you're doing!" She screeched.
"Get your hands off my son!" Bulma bent down and grabbed the little boy off of Vegeta and held him behind her.
"Wha? Bulma?" Vegeta was so confused. 'What the hell!'
As he stared at his mate, thinking of what to say, her eyes grew an evil shade of red and the little boy seemed to disappear.
'Those eyes…I remember those eyes…just like…'Then the realization dawned on him. 'It can't be…he-he's dead…'
"Come now my little monkey pet. You can't share?" Frieza then walked out of the forest surrounding them..
"The boy…he killed you. I saw it with my own two eyes damnit! He cut you into small pieces! You can't be alive!" Vegeta screamed. He screamed as loud as he could.
"Of course I'm dead. That filthy Saiyan brat killed me. Ever heard of mind control from the Otherworld? I did it to you when you were first brought to me. And now that you have mated to this pretty little thing…I have her under my control too." He smiled evilly.
"You Dick head! Let her go!"
"How long will she last Vegeta?" Frieza cooed as he petted Bulma's head.
"GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF HER YOU SICK BASTARD!"
"Protective and possessive aren't we? I thought you said that you loved no one." He waved his hand over Bulma's head and her eyes went back to the normal beautiful color they always were.
She looked forward and focused on a blur. After her eyes adjusted, she saw Vegeta and panicked.
"Vegeta!"
"Bulma! Stay still!"
"Huh?" Then she heard and evil, malicious laughter. She turned her head slowly and that's when she really started to panic. She saw Freiza! And screamed.
Frieza grabbed her and held her to him. His arms around her. One around her waist and the other one around her neck, slowly cutting off her air.
"Knock it off! You'll kill her!" He knew only one thing…He had to get her out of Freiza's grasp.
"What does she mean to you Vegeta? You always told everyone that you love no ones. Love was something that made you weak." Freiza snarled.
'He's taunting me' His eyes widened as he saw Bulma's already limp form get limper. Luckily, he still felt her ki, it was there…bearly.
"Let her go! Please!"
"Begging now? Sounds like you did when I took your sister from you." Frieza smiled.
Vegeta froze. His twin sister. He loved her and he missed her…STILL. The bastard just has to keep bringing it up. He stole her from him…and Vegeta was getting more pissed by the second.
"I hate you! You kill my home, took Leda, Radditz, and me from our home, killed our families, and then blew up our planet. The just as I thought you couldn't sink any lower, you do. You took my sister and killed her in front of me. All for what! So you could have complete control over me, but you never got it…did you? I resisted you more with each passing day…" Vegeta was cut off by Bulma's scream.
Frieza had her wrapped by his tail now. The good thing was that she could breathe. The bad thing…that tail was more dangerous than anything else.
"That's enough Vegeta!" A snap of his fingers and Bulma and Vegeta woke up in a sweat.
He turned to see Bulma scared shitless.
"I'm here. Did you sleep well?" He tried to act like nothing was wrong.
"I had a dream…but only you were in it too. There was a little boy…I could tell that he was my son but I think he was yours too."
"Yes Bulma, we had the same dream. Frieza is inside your head like he was in mine. I believe it happened when we mated."
"Will he ever leave us alone?" She sobbed. It was then that she realized that she had the cuffs on.
"Well I guess I deserve these." She smiled slightly and grinned, trying to lighten the mood.
Vegeta looked over to Goku and his family. They were still sound asleep with only Goku now snoring slightly.
He looked back at his mate. "You did nothing to deserve these. Frieza does. We didn't want you to hurt yourself or someone else so the harpy and I put you here."
"Vegeta? You never told me that you had a sister. I remember in the dream…did you have one?"
"Yes." Vegeta choked. He hadn't talked about Leda since she died…it was too painful.
Bulma reached her hand as far as she could and grabbed his hand. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"Her name was Leda. It was short for Ledianaka. She looked just like our Mother while I looked just like our Father. She was my twin but I was born 2 hours before her. We were always together, wherever one was the other was not far behind." He stopped there. He was losng control of his emotions.
"When did he kill her?" She squeezed his hand to let him know that she was there.
"About 2 years into our time with the idiot. She defied him once and he killed her. Right in front of Radditz and me. I can still see her body, hear her screams…and what did I do? Nothing! I let her get killed!" He wiped his eyes again. He never had to talk about this with anyone. The only other person that he would have told was Radditz…but he was there too and he saw it.
"I was despondent for weeks. Only coming out of my room when the bastard needed me to go on a mission. I only talked to Radditz. Nappa couldn't be trusted. He was too "close" to Frieza. Rumors started about them too."
"Gross!" Bulma interrupted.
"I know. No one held any respect for him when they started and he could care less." Vegeta stopped there and saw that Goku was starting to wake up.
The good-hearted Saiyin opened his eyes and looked at his friends.
"Hey. Mornin' Guys!" He chirped.
"No so good Goku. Both Vegeta and me had the same horrible dream."
"We need to do the magic now Kakarott. Wake your family. Tell them to get ready. It's not going to be an easy ride…" He looked at his mate. "For any of us…"
Well guys, that seems to be it for now. I'm working on the next chapter. It'll be up soon!
Please R&R!
