"I wish I could lend you my eyes so that you can see yourself the way I see you"

By A.H.

Emotions

Bulma took deep breaths as she pushed herself harder, her whole body was aching, but her pride would not let that cocky excuse of a sayain beat her. Her eyes glazed over a lighter shade than it had ever been, making it look almost translucent. Sending sharp raids of wind at Vegeta she jumped backwards, attempting to put as much distance between them as possible.

Yet, it seemed futile as Vegeta came barrelling into her sending her flying into the wall, looking up at him she saw that her attacks had not be as ineffective as she first thought, Vegeta was also taking deep breaths, yet his was stable. For a while she was mesmerised by the rhythmic beat of his breathing…well that and the sight of his sweaty body. Blinking back that train of thought she found her eyes gazing up at his smirking face, a rage began to form within her, as the room began to freeze. With a grin she watched as Vegeta began to look around in confusion.

Vegeta looked around; the hairs on the back of his neck began to stand on edge as the temperature rapidly decreased. Cautiously he attempted to approach Bulma but found that his foot was beginning to freeze. His eyes flashed to fright but almost as if it never occurred it went back to its neutral colour.

"Is this all you've got" he asked as he powered up shattering the ice that bound his foot, looking up at Bulma with a grin he was shocked to see a pained expression on her face. He started to fly over to her when she held out her hand, "no Vegeta don't come closer, I can't control…" her voice trailed of as a shards of ice rose up from the ground separating them.

"Bulma" he shouted in a tone unlike his usual. Taking a quick punch at the now solidified wall, he was surprised to find that it didn't even dent it. He punched again, harder, yet the wall remained and so he began to continually beat it with no success. Panic began to build up as he heard screams of agony from the other side. In the back of his mind he could hear Freesia's sadistic laughter, taunting him, with revived angry he pounded the wall, electricity crackled around his body as he slowly began to dent the wall, giving a warrior growl he smashed the ice in half.

His eyes widened slighting as he saw Bulma floating in mid air, small blocks of ice surrounded her form, her eyes were almost lifeless as a gentle tear hit the floor and froze.

"Bulma" he whispered as he approached her. She gave no verbal response but to hold out a hand and shoot a ball of ice towards him.

Dodging out the way, he froze as he heard a voice in his head

"Vegeta, you've got to help Bulma" cried Chichi "She's frozen us all in the kitchen we can't get out, you need to help her"

"How do you suppose I do that" he growled

"You have to get inside her head, she's not in control of her body anymore, the new power is taking over. You need to find her and tell her to get of her lazy butt and fight for her body"

"I don't do pep talks" he replied his head spinning from her shouting

"Please Vegeta, she could die"

"I..." he paused. He knew he didn't want her to die, but the reason as to why the thought of her dying made his blood run cold stunned him "fine" he relented "but you owe me" he replied in his arrogant voice

"Close your eyes" he begrudgingly complied "Trust me" she whispered

"I don't trust anyone" he growled as his eyes snapped opened, and he found himself someone else all together.

The place was a mess, random images and words floated about and he wondered if Bulma's head was this crazy, how messed up his would be. Floating along he took his time to glaze at some of the images, her playing with a cat, her and chichi hanging out, her parents, on and on they went as he found himself diverging deeper into her mind. He saw parts of her mind began to close of as he approached and he sped up, but stopped when he saw himself with words floating around him sexy, arrogant, hot, cocky and strong yet it was the last one that shocked him worthy.

For a moment he stood there rooted to the spot, until he heard someone crying, floating over to the noise he found someone huddled in a corner crying. "Bulma" he called out

"Geta" the voice shouted as a figure latched onto him. Looking down he saw a chibi Bulma looking up at him "what the hell?" he cursed

The figure looked up; her bottom lip began to wobble as her eyes began to fill with tear

"Knock it of" Vegeta growled as she began to tear up

Little Bulma stopped crying, and a frowned appear upon her lip "You're a meany"

"So your ugly" Vegeta resorted

Little Bulma shook her head, her blue little pigtail bounced up and down "Na ah, I pretty" she stood up and twirled "see" the casual dungarees that she had been wearing turned into an elegant ballroom dress "I'm gonna marry a prince and be his princess"

Vegeta snorted "I don't think so; I'm a prince and wouldn't touch you with a beanpole"

"You're a prince, really" she asked as she bounced up and down "wow"

Vegeta shook his head as LB (little Bulma, cause I'm too lazy to carry on writing it) began asked numerous question without waiting for a reply.

"Look brat, stop your rambling and tell me where the other you is"

LB stopped and glared at him, she walked slowly over to him and then kicked him in the shin. Vegeta howled and held his knee shocked that the little brat could hurt him "How you do that?"

She looked at him "its my mind I can do anything I want. But…" she frowned. "we like you stronger"

"Right"

Bulma began skipping "Come on Veggie lets go"

After a few of what Vegeta assumed was minutes LB finally stopped

"I don't wanna go in there, she makes me sad" she pulled a face "will you make her better v-chan"

"My names Ve-ge-ta, you little delinquent" he snapped

She laughed "I know, but your cute when you get angry" she laughed again when a red tint appeared under his cheeks "I'll be thinking about you Ve-ge-ta" she called as she began fading into the background

"Annoying little brat" he mumbled as he turned to walk into the maze, trying out his new KI sensing ability he stretched out his senses to locate Bulma in the middle of the maze. "Typical" he thought as he began to fly in the direction that he sensed her. Long before he reached the location he could see her sitting on a hill, a cape was covering her face yet even now he could see blue tendril of her hair flying around her. She seemed to be watching some. What he didn't know, but he would find out soon.

Landing next to her he said "I have a message from the other harpy, it was something along the lines of get off your arse" he nodded after he finished the message and began to walk away when he noticed she wasn't following. Tapping his foot he looked at her "well, don't keep me waiting"

"I-I..." she shook her head her voice was full of confusion and pain that he recognised so well "I don't want to go back"

He snorted "You mean you can't"

She nodded in agreement "I can't, it hurts too much" she points into the distance where a tide of water was gradually moving towards her "its taken over, washing away all I am until all that's left it a body"

"So fight back"

"I've tried, I've tried putting up walls, I've tried talking to it…" her voice trails of "what's left"

"Look I don't know how you blasted power works, but I do know is that you've controlled it once, do it again"

"I just can't do it"

"Look" Vegeta responded a little too roughly "You can't give up"

"Why not it hurts so badly"

"So, get over it"

Her head turned sharply to face him, make her cloak fall from around her face, her eyes were a blaze "So" she screamed "so…so...so" she struggled to find something to say, but gave up in defeat

Suddenly Vegeta found himself sitting down beside her, his voice although still rough held a bit of warmth within it (a/n: and I mean a miniscule amount). He looked out toward the oncoming tide and began to speak "we're warriors we never given in"

Bulma gave a laugh "No you're a warrior, I'm daddy's little girl, I'm selfish, spoilt and a scientist, I not warrior materiel"

"Maybe you weren't born to be, but you are"

"Am I really, I can't even control my powers. I thought I trained as hard as I needed, yet I'm still unable to control it"

"So, just keep on trying" His mind flashed back to the numerous times he was in the training room, pushing himself to the boundaries of his power.

"Why?"

"Because" His mind flashed to his home planet then Freesia

"Because what? What makes you keep going Vegeta, what stops you from giving in?"

He paused for a long time, and she thought he wasn't going to answer

He voice was an octave higher than usually, and she was shocked to hear so much emotion in his voice "It hurts to stop trying, I won't let him win, I won't let them all down, I'm a prince damn it" the words tumbled out as jumbled thoughts rather than his usual speech, where each world was picked to present himself in a certain way.

She shook her head softly; was it really about his status. Was the sole reason he fought because he was a prince and a princes couldn't show weakness. Voicing her question she asked "But vegeta, when you take away your money, your title, your pride what's left"

His eyes snapped to her and he growled out "Nothing! Is that what you want to hear, I am nothing without my title" Inwardly he cursed himself for letting the conversation get this far, this was not about him, this was about her inability to fight and he'll be damned if she'd embarrass him further.

"Now I don't think that's true, you're left with what makes you a warrior, what make this guy- this Fressia guy hate you more than all other sayains"

Sarcastically he asked "What's that?"

"Fire Vegeta, passion, self respect, intellect. You'll never give in, that is your strength. When all the chips are down and his standing in front of you laughing manically, all it will take is for you to stand again to know that even in death he'll never beat you. A man like you will have a legacy that will inspire other and legacies never die, they can knock down temples, overturn governments and give hope. That's all it takes, giving hope to one that will continue the fight. A warrior of ages."

Swallowing down the lump within his throat he fired back a question "But what's yours", if he took the focus away from himself he wouldn't have to think about the speech she had just made. He wouldn't have to think about dying as some sort of martyr, he wouldn't have to think about the fact that she had made him feel more emotions than he had ever felt thus far into his life. But mostly, he wouldn't have to deal with the fact that she seemed to understand him.

"I…I…"

"Maybe it's the same fire you see in me that is in you, maybe it's your ability to see things the way you do" returning the compliment, it was just a sign of respect no weakness could be found within him for this. Hadn't he learnt about diplomacy, to get what you wanted you had to bend a bit.

She smiled a hundred kilowatt smile, a mischievous glint appeared in her eyes "her voice was high and wistful "oh Vegeta I wish I could lend you my eyes so that you can see yourself the way I see you" she laughed "your bathed in a faint yellow glow, standing in front of thousands and leading them"

Vegeta gave a small smirk at her attempt to lighten the moment, snorting inward he laughed at the fact that he could ever be bathed in light…blood maybe but never light. "Enough nonsense women, now take back you body, we have a fight to finish"

"Ok, thanks Vegeta" she kissed his cheek and then blushed, holding out her hand she gave a thumbs up sign "I'll see you on the outside"

Its fades to black….

Next time: we have a bit more of Chichi and Goku (for all the fans), and we have Vegeta dealing with what was said inside Bulma's head. Plus we have them all training and preparing for there arrival on one of Freesia's bases, where some much needed practice will go ahead.

Until then R.E.V.I.E.W

I won't let he take that from me

voice was high and wistful "oh Vegeta I wish I could lend you my eyes so that you can see yourself the way I see"
