Hey Guys! Sorry about the long wait! It's been a bitch with school and work running me ragged. The good news is that during my downtime I was able to write chapters out! YaY!

Note: this "/blah/" means thinking and this ":blah:" means bond.

Enjoy!

TIWT 21

A red glow surrounded Goku and Vegeta. Gohan stood back. He was to be the anchor and to be able to pull those two out of need be.

"Goku! Vegeta!"

Vegeta's eyes snapped open and looked at the door where Chi was coming in.

"What?"

"It's Bulma! He's attacking! She hurts!" Chi said through gasping breaths.

Vegeta grabbed a glass of green liquid off the side table and ran out of the room. He was beside Bulma in a split second. She was convulsing very violently and thrashing around, gasping for air. Her back was arching painfully upwards, almost to the breaking point.

"I need someone to hold her down!"

"I got it Vegeta!" Chi yelled from behind Goku. She pushed her way towards her friend and put her hands in front of her and closed her eyes. Seconds later, vines from under the house came through the floor and grabbed the thrashing body. They grabbed her around her waist, chest, and legs. They held her arms and hands to her sides struggling to hold her.

Suddenly she let out this scream, but it was not Bulma's voice. She managed to get her arms free and slash through all the others with her nails.

"Shit!" Chi kept the vines coming to hold her down. Vegeta ran over to Bulma and threw the green liquid all over her. She screamed again but this time it died out in Bulma's voice then collapsed. Breathing heavily, she was able to open her eyes and look at her mate.

:Vegeta:

:I'm here:

:What happened:

:He was trying to get free:

"What the hell was that?" Chi breathed. She was drained, that took a lot out of her.

"A potion to expel evil spirits. I knew that it would not get rid of him but it would back him up." Vegeta said with a heavy heart. He did not know what to do anymore. Nothing was working and he was not sure how much more Bulma's body could take.

"He's too strong…let me go…" Bulma choked out.

"No! Bulma you know what he can do if he figures out how to use your powers. Think about it…We'll all die…" Chi said softly as she kneeled down next her Bulma.

"You can protect them, Chi. Destroy me and you guys will live."

"You dying is not an option, Onna!" blurted the Prince.

The room then grew deathly silent. Everyone was shocked, Vegeta does care for Bulma and her safety. They knew that he cared for her but they never thought they'd hear him say anything like it.

"What about the Protection Chant, Bulma?"

"I don't know…"

"You remember it?"

"Yea, but I don't know if it'll help…"

"It's worth a try right?" Bulma nodded.

"Alright dude, sit up…" Chi got down and sat just outside the circle, indian style. Bulma, weakly, followed suit.

"Ready?" Chi asked, worriedly looking over her friend. Cuts and bruises everywhere from her vines and just Bulma injuring herself.

"Yea…"

They started the protection chant that they hoped would at least help Bulma. They said the chant together:

"Let Apollo's light surround us, Let Poseidon's water protect us, Let Athena's wisdom guide us."

"Let me neutralize the power of Frieza to do me any harm. I ask that this be correct and for the good of all. So mote it be."

"I consecrate myself in fire so that I can defend myself and protect myself with the power I have."

"Let the power of the Gods protect and help fight against this evil that dwells within. And protect those around us, for they are the innocent, shall no harm come to them or us."

They finished the chant and Chi looked at Bulma.

/She looks like shit…/

"You doin' okay, B?"

"I feel a lil better. But I still feel like shit…" she gave a small laugh and laid back down. She was getting a headache. She needed to lay down…she wanted to sleep.

"We need to start this." Goku finally spoke out.

"Kakarott's right, we need to get a move on."

Vegeta got up and got another book from a pile in the corner. He placed the book down on a table and started to flip through. He finally found what he was looking for and called Goku over.

"Kakarott, this chant should work. We are going to need the brooms though."

"Alright. Gohan, grab the brooms and bring them here." Gohan did as he was told. His father sounded serious and he did not want to piss off his Dad.

"Chi, hold Bulma…just in case…" Goku was cut off.

"He won't attack again for a while. She is too weak right now. She'll die if he tried to get free again." Vegeta stated quickly.

"I'll keep watch just in case." Chi sadly spoke. She was scared and mad. This idiot was trying to break her friend and he was succeeding to a point. She felt terrible. She wanted to rip that bastard limb from limb. She wanted…

"Chi!"

Her thoughts were cut short by her mate's voice. "What?"

"We need you over here to continue."

"Grab a broom and put them end to end around the circle." Vegeta instructed.

"Vegeta? Why are we not going in there to get him out?"

"He's blocked us by now. He knows what we are trying to do."

Goku just looked towards Bulma. /What did she do to deserve this/

Gohan looked Bulma over. She has multiple wounds. Scratches where his mother had gotten her. Bruises where the vines had held her. And most likely a broken bone or two. She looked like complete shit to be blunt about it.

"Alright…"Vegeta's voice brought Gohan out of his trance.

"Let's get this idiot out of my mate…" Vegeta growled.

"Everyone, grab a section of the brooms. Do NOT break the circle!" barked the Prince.

They Saiyans started saying a chant in a different language. Chi just remained silent. She didn't know it. Suddenly Bulma started to convulse and scream in short pants. She was definatly in pain and was trying to make it go away. Chi wanted them to stop…

"Stop…" She said silently.

"Stop…Stop it!" She screamed and knelt to her knees and tried to get Bulma's attention.

"Bulma! Bulma, I'm over here…come here…" Bulma looked up with dark red eyes and said something in another language. Chi fell backwards and started to scoot away when Bulma got up and ran towards her until she got to the broom barrier.

She hit that barrier and her body crumbled like paper. She lay on the ground holding her stomach in pain and moaning slightly. Chi get back up to her to make sure she was alright.

"B! B! Please, answer me!"

"Chi…"

"Right here…"

"Just let him take me…I don't want any of you to get hurt." Bulma breathed out.

"No, we were supposed to grow old together, remember?"

"Yea but…"

"But nothing. I am not going to stop until I am dead."

"Thanks Chi…" Bulma half smiled. She was tired.

"I'm so tired."

"I know, but you gotta hold in there. Remember our bond?"

"Yeah."

"That'll keep you here. You got people here who need you. Me, Goku, Gohan, and even Vegeta."

:She's right, Onna:

:I don't know how much longer I can hold out. He's strong…:

:We'll get him out.: Vegeta cut the link.

Vegeta's thought was cut off when Chi slammed her hand on the ground and stood up.

"Vegeta! What would lure him out? You should know."

"I would say pure red wine. He would come out of the hiding even if it meant his death for a glass."

Chi ran from the den to the kitchen, looking for red wine, ripping through all the cupboards.

/Wait a sec…I had some this morning/

There on the kitchen table was the bottle she was looking for. Along with a knife…

"What the hell do you need red wine and a knife for?" Vegeta screamed.

"Shut up. None of your stuff is working so now it's my turn."

Chi sat, with her legs spread with the wine bottle between them. She dumped a little on the floor to get the smell in the air.

"Slide these brooms apart." She took a gulp of wine and sighed. "When he comes for this…" She held up the wine. "Grab and retrain her."

"What are you going to do Mom?" Gohan asked. He didn't want to be suprised by Frieza again. He hoped this would work.

"Oh honey, Mommy is just going to get our Bulma back. She is going to be normal and demon free as before. Don't worry." Chi smiles from her son.

/He doesn't like this…/ She realizes when she looked in his eyes.

"Ready?" Goku and Vegeta were on both sides of Chi with one broomstick for both of them.

"Yeah."

They slid the broom end apart and waited. Chi took another swig of the wine and dragged the bottle top right under Bulma's nose.

"Frieza…Freiza…Come on, wake up…" Chi cooed.

'Bulma' opened her deep red eyes. A small nose rose in the air. /Sweet red wine./

"You want some?" Chi asked taughntingly.

"Well?" The evil creature before her moved around looking from the bottle, to her, to Goku, and Vegeta.

"Gohan, stay behind your Father." She ordered.

Both full-blooded Saiyans were at the ready to grab her when she lunged. The creature looked at the bottle and then finally lunged. Goku grabbed her legs while Vegeta got her arms and help her still.

"Let's do this…" Chi whispered then a green aura surrounded her. A cocoon formed around her then she emerged. Her hair and eyes have turned a vibrant dark emerald green. Her hair seemed to be a mix between hair and wines. While wearing a 2-piece suit. The top hugged everything while leaving her stomach bare. The bottom was a skirt that had slits on the thighs to allow easy fighting. Then out folded her butterfly wings, very brilliantly colored and very bright. Bulma had transformed as well. Her suit was the same except she was blue.

"My blood…" Chi cut her palm.

"Your blood…" She cut Bulma's palm.

"Our blood! Push us together!" The men did as they were told and a blinding light filled the room. Everyone had to shield their eyes. When then light faded, the boys were able to see what had happened.

Bulma and Chi were huddled together in the middle of the white chalk markings. Bulma was sobbing as well as Chi.

"Heads up girls." Goku said looking at the ceiling. The girls moved out of the way as a white cloud of white and purple landed on the floor with a thud.

Bulma got up and walked toward the dust cloud. "This is for everything you put me and my friend and mate through." She held her hand out and shot a blast clear through the cloud making it scream and disappear.

"He's gone…He's finally gone." Chi stated taking a sigh of relief.

The Son boy surrounded Chi with hugs and kisses along with her apologizing about not telling them about her powers.

Vegeta tired to approach his mate but she pushed him away.

"Let me be for a bit."

"Wha…?"

"B?" Chi called back to her.

"I need to be alone right now." Bulma yelled back and slammed her door.

All heads turned towards Vegeta. "Alright Vegeta, what did you do?" Goku asked.

"Me! I didn't do shit! I was trying to comfort her and she pushed me away!" Vegeta screamed.

Chi came up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Give her sometime. She just needs to get things right in her head."

"I will not…I am going to go and comfort my mate!" He stormed up the stairs to her room.

"Okay don't say I didn't warn you…." Chi warned.

"Onna! Open this door!"

SPLASH

"Damnit Onna!"

"Told you." And the Son family laughed.

Be back with another chapter soon!
