Well, I must say, what you people have to say makes me giggle inside. I am quite pleased at the result of the reviews I am getting and it inspires me to write more. But it also could be the ammount of time i took off from writing. Perhaps I shouldnt stay away for as long as I have been. But this chapter a Day isnt going to last forever, but I will do as best I can to keep everyone happy. But there will not be a chapter after this untill the weekend. I am going to be out of town.
Few years have passed. A few long and painful years have passed. To Bulma it seemed to have taken it's toll. She had not forgotten about Vegeta, but she also had not been with him personally for very long to become so attached that her heart would burst if she didn't see him. But there was this nagging feeling in the back of her mind that made her wonder if he was really alive.. if he was somehow thinking or even looking for her.
"Bulma, Why are you lingering outside. Don't you know that it is winter? You will catch cold!"
Looking behind her, Bulma smiled at Kakarott. He had not left her side since they had returned to Earth. She was happy for him. He had found a mate, he was happy. Hell, he even had a kid now. She was happy for him. But she was not as happy. Since there was no proof that Vegeta was dead, she was still technically married untill the king of Vegeta-sei announced her freedome. But so far, there has been no word. In fact, there has been no word for many weeks now. Before, they got a transmition every two weeks, but there hasnt been anything in a while. Bulma was growing more and more worried.
"Kakarott, I was just getting fresh air. This party has become painfully dull, and the people are giving me a headach."
Kakarott walked up to her and placed a hand on her hip to hug her like a brother would a sister. "You're thinking about him again, aren't you?"
"Actually, I was thinking that it was odd that we have not heard anything from the king of Vegeta-sei. What if something happened?"
"Then we should be on our guard. But I am sure that everything is fine. Don't worry. Now, go back to the party, have fun, and for kami's sake. Smile. There are many men there that would give anything to dance with you."
Bulma let out a small laugh. "Yes, they wish to dance with me so they can feel my backside up."
"Not if I kick their ass before their hand reaches yours." Kakarott teased and gave her a small wink. "Trust me. You just need to relax and not think about anything that has the word 'husband, vegeta, or machines.' "
"Ohhh.. that's a toughie."
"Never knew you to back out of a challenge."
Shaking her head, Bulma left to go back inside the pallace. It was true though. Over the years, she has grown bolder, tougher and if at all, Bitchier.
As soon as she enetered the grand ballroom, many eyes fell upon her. She had let her blue hair grow out to her waist and her beauty easily surpassed many of the women's own beauty, leaving her the most enveyed, hated and most wanted woman alive on Earth. But as Bulma made her way down the flight of stairs, she felt an arm wrap around her waist.
"Care to dance?" Another familliar voice asked.
"Yaumcha.. I suppose it couldn't hurt."
He smiled and held his hand out to her with a small bow. He had cut his long hair and he looked more handsom and manly now. Bulma couldnt exactly deny the fact that she was still attracted to him, but she had to be in control. She would not fall for a man who did not earn her love.
Yaumcha lead Bulma to the dance floor and his arm returned to the spot above her rear as they began to move to the music. Looking in each other's eyes, there seemed to be an almost silent communication heald within them. No words were needed, but yet they really didnt need to be said.
"So.. what was the reason that you have asked me to dance with you tonight?" Bulma couldnt help herself but to ask.
"Why do you ask such a thing? I missed you terribaly since you left for that barbaric planet. Now you are back and I can start to make you fall for me once more."
"It wouldn't matter. I am still a married woman. The Saiyan law is not like the Earth laws. There is no abandonment law and such."
"It matters. Because I can be there for you when you need me, even though it wont be for sexual or physical need. I have changed, Bulma, I am not the man that you used to know."
"Thank Kami for that." Bulma smiled. And with a small chuckle, Yaumcha twirled her around the dance floor gently.
Across the distance, Vegeta growled as he passed the room he was in. The Namiken people said if he could find the so called "dragon balls" he could wish his space pod back together. But there was something also different about him. He could not remember most parts of his past. He could remember going out to war, that he was a prince and that he was supposed to do something, but other than that, all other memories have been lost. There was this nagging thought in the back of his mind that made the fur on his tail stand on end. It also pissed him off to no end. Perhaps he should use a wish for his memory.
"One more dragopn ball before i can get off this blasted planet." Vegeta muttered to himself as he stormed out of the building where he stored the balls he had collected already.
Glaring at many of the green skined people, Vegeta powered up and flew into the air in search of the orange object. He was proud of himself for achieving the legendary Super saiyan form, He had a feeling that it would come in use.
Though, there has been this longing in his heart he could not seem to shake. "What is this blasted emotion?" Vegeta asked so many times. Vegeta could not put his finger on it but in time... In time, things will come out. In time, he will figure out what it is he is missing and what he is longing for. But for now, he is determened to get off this planet and then kill something. His saiyan blood was utterly boiling, turning him mad.
Whoo... yes, I do believe this chapter was a little bit longer. but I cannot put anything else in here without having to rwite two chapters in one. But this will have to hold you out untill this weekend. So... review. (They make me giggle) Kisses!
