Title: Crimson-dipped Obsession

Summary: Bulma Briefs' life made a horrifying turn when an obsessed Saiyan prince arrived on Earth and wanted her to be his! What's more to this alien was a dark secret that has caused a change in the history of Dragon Ball Z, and if it is revealed, it holds the fate of the entire universe.

Genre: Horror, Psychological Thriller, Romance, Mystery

Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Z. Some events in this fan fic is also inspired by Mirai Nikki and DBXV.

Warning: You might find Vegeta out of character in this story as this fic is made as an answer to the question 'What if Vegeta was a yandere?'. Vegeta is originally and generally a tsundere. A Tsundere is a character who is initially cold and even hostile towards another person before gradually showing a warm and caring side over time. The yandere personality is the exact opposite of a tsundere personality. A Yandere is a character who is genuinely kind, loving, sweet or gentle, but can suddenly switch to being aggressive or deranged. (From wiktionary).

If you don't like Vegeta to be like a yandere then I suggest you to turn back now and stop reading as this story also contains lots of blood, gore and violence.

Author's Note: Hello everyone. Here's the twenty-third chapter of Crimson-dipped Obsession. Please read and review.

Chapter 23: Monstrosity

[763 A.D. August 21, 10:22, Paradiser's Island, Vegeta's Capsule House]

Gohan felt that his body is so heavy that he can't move. He couldn't even feel his ki. He could see his father and Irami struggling with him. Gohan cannot understand why Vegeta was doing this to them all of a sudden after he has saved them several times on Planet Namek. Was Krilin right when he suspected Vegeta of pretending? Were the children in that mirror spaceship, especially Yuso, right about Vegeta' monstrous nature? For the moment, Gohan regretted for not listening.

"Gravity at two hundred fifty times normal Gravity," the computer announced.

"What? Two hundred fifty?!" Goku cannot believe his ears. If only he had his ki two hundred fifty times the gravity is nothing to him. But his power was completely restrained by whatever Vegeta mixed with the air inside this room. "Damn it, Vegeta, what the hell is he planning to do? What has he done to Krilin?"

Irami also struggled for a few minutes. Inside his mind, Irami thought. "Vegeta-san must be watching us somewhere, and thoroughly enjoying to see us suffer... I cannot... let him know this is easy to me..." he struggled hard and long enough. He screamed and roared as he struggles,summoning his raw strength and his willpower before he was able to stand erect, somehow... His knees were shaking with the pressure he was exerting himself. Goku was amazed to see Irami to do that, wondering where he got that kind of strength but he was motivated, he roared as well, struggling. Soon he was crouching and shaking, trying to force himself to stand as erect as possible. Gohan was amazed by Irami and his dad so he also tried and struggled against the force of the gravity.

Irami's blue eyes and Goku and Gohan's black eyes, were dilated into small dots, small red veins appeared on their sclera as they continued to struggle.

"Ve-Vegeta!" Goku cried out, pushing himself even further.

They heard a long, loud screeching sound, like that of the radio signal around the room, the ear piercing sound was followed by a cold, malevolent chuckle that came from the speakers and echoed across the entire gravity chamber.

The three of them snapped their eyes up to see a CCTV camera focused on them.

"Vegeta! Is that you?!" Goku demanded. "What do you think you're doing? What have you done to Bulma and Krilin?!"

...

It took about ten seconds before the prince of Saiyans responded,"Kakarotto..." his voice was dark, low and chilling. A strange chill ran across Gohan's spine when he heard that scary tone from the prince. "How pathetic of you... to be restrained by ki poison and two-hundred fifty times gravity." Suddenly his tone rose, yelling in fury, "You're a fucking disgrace to the Saiyan Race, I should kill the three of you!" and then his tone quickly returned to the low chilling sound. "As for my dear little Bulma, that bald headed friend of yours and that scar faced weakling, don't worry about them. They are very safe here with me. Ehehehe..." then he let out a dark chuckle.

"Yamcha?! You... you have Yamcha with you all this time?!" Goku choked. All these months they have not seen any signs from the former dessert bandit and thought he ran away due to shame of Bulma and his break up. He thought it was there was all to it and decided to give Yamcha some moment of privacy since that was what he wanted the last time he saw him when he brought him in the hospital. And then... And then... Vegeta kidnapped him all this time?! Why?!

"It's not my fault he's easy to be caught for being a weakling. I was expecting more from you, but I guess you really are a bunch of brainless fools."

Goku growled.

Gohan screamed in fury and disbelief, "How dare you do this to us, Vegeta-san?! Aren't we fighting on the same side! We trusted you! Why are you suddenly going to kill us for no reason?!" the six year old demanded. After all that has happened he's just going to do this?!

"Same side?" Vegeta repeated, "Fufufu... Ahahahahahahahahaha!"The Saiyan prince laughed like a complete psycho. "I was your enemy in here in the first place, boy! Don't make me laugh! If you're talking about me saving your pathetic asses back on Namek, I was merely doing it to kill Frieza and his men! To bring an end to the Frieza Army!"

"But didn't you put your life on the line for us against Ginyu and his gang? And you helped us revive our friends back!"

"Foolish boy. I did that for Bulma. I did everything for MY Bulma. Just so I can have her. Now that she's finally mine, it's time to do what I was supposed to do when I arrived on this pathetic mudball...

"That is to kill the entire humanity and destroy Earth...!"

"No! You're not going to do that!" Goku cried out in disbelief.

"We won't let you!" Gohan growled.

"Hmph! Very well then, be my guest. Try to entertain me with your pathetic attempts to escape that room. If you do so, you are free to stop me."

"Urgh! Vegeta, please don't do this. Please no..." Goku begged.

"Computer," Vegeta addressed. "Activate the simulator to four hundred times normal gravity!"

Goku and others inside the Gravity room heard the machine whirred alive and then they suddenly felt themselves being pushed down into the floor by the increasing gravity. Gohan and Goku screamed as they hit the floor mercilessly. Irami was holding on his own, miraculously much to Vegeta's amazement.

"Oohh... Aren't you a tough one, Irami Keiji? Nyahahahahahahahaha!"

Goku can't believe this, just how is Irami able to stand at this gravity level?

"Vegeta-san..." Irami groaned. "So it was you who sent that text message and not Bulma-san..?"

"I did," the Saiyan prince admitted, as if it was very obvious.

"Just as I thought," Irami thought to himself before he addressed Vegeta again. "I just want to clarify something to you," Irami asked through gritted teeth. "Do you happen to have a skull with you all this time?"

Inside the CCTV room, Vegeta's expression when he heard Irami's question was of surprise. There he was sitting in his throne, pampering his favorite skull among all his collections, which were arranged on a table not far away from where he sat.

"What are you implying?" he asked, coldly.

"Do you think I know nothing about the bones Bulma-san found on Pepper Island over a month ago? It was I who told her about it in the first place. It was clear that you hid them when we returned to that island, but did you actually think I believed your innocent acts when you say you know nothing about it? After you and Bulma-san left, I went back to check the place and found that you actually buried the bones so Bulma-san would think she hallucinated that night..."

"You..." Vegeta snarled in rage. "HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT MY DEAR LITTLE TWIN BROTHER'S SLEEP?!"

"Worry not, my dear prince. I reburied him properly. Just another question, I don't remember you having a twin little brother. So long as I could remember, your younger brother, Tarble-san is on Planet Teketeke, and guess what? I was able to contact him in there through galactic communication! So if he's actually alive, and according to him the two of you don't have any other siblings or the like... Whose bones were those you just buried... and killed? Who are you claiming as your twin brother?"

...

...

...

"Uh... Irami..." Goku groaned. "What are you talking about?"

"Just something I was sent to investigate..." Irami answered.

"But Vegeta-san's not answering..." Gohan moaned.

...

...

...

Vegeta cannot believe that someone as persistent as Irami could exist. Why and how was he investigating about that made him question about who this red haired boy actually was.

"I do not know what you are talking about." Vegeta answered.

"Very well then, if you continue on this lying game then let me ask you this." Irami said and he took something out of his pocket. He pulled out a chain with a golden ring at the end. "Does this wedding ring belong to -"

Vegeta suddenly cut in, roaring "WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GET THAT YOU FUCKING SON OF A BITCH?! RETURN THAT THING TO ME BEFORE I FUCKING TORTURE YOU, EVERY INCH BY BLOODY INCH AND LAUGH AS YOU ALL DIE SO SLOWLY!"

Irami laughed, "So this belongs to you? A ring with Bulma-san's name on it? Clearly a wedding ring of yours. Why do you have this thing when clearly you two aren't married yet?"

There was another silence from the other line before the Saiyan Prince coldly announced. "I'm going to kill you."

"H-hey, Irami... please do not provoke him even further. Vegeta's going to kill us all and destroy the Earth," Goku pleaded.

"Don't worry Goku-san. I will get to the point soon." Irami told him before he turned his gaze back to the CCTV camera. "To tell you the truth, Vegeta-san, I was sent to investigate that murder. I have suspected that you were the one who killed the owner of those bones at Pepper Island. Because of this, you have caused a great casualty in this world. That crime you committed is a great crime against the Galactic Laws. Now let me have a deal with you. If you don't want me to report this to the Galactic Patrol Group, let us out in here. For sure you wouldn't want the Galactic Police sniffing their noses into this?"

...

...

...

...

"He's not answering again." Gohan noticed.

"Vegeta-san? Did you not hear what I just said?" Irami asked.

At first, they barely heard Vegeta's low, muffled childish giggle on the other line until a boisterous psychotic laughter boomed from the speakers.

"Fufufufufufufu... fufufu... Ehehehehehehe... Fuhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Ahahahahahahahahaha!" Vegeta's maniacal laughter echoed all throughout the walls of the Gravity Room. The sound of his laughter scared all those hearing it, mistaking him for a demon rather than a person.

Vegeta continued laughing like that until he was out of breath.

"Irami Keiji, you're one persistent guy aren't you? Yes, it was me who killed my twin brother! But... so what if I killed him? Why should I even care about it or the casualty or the galactic laws or the Patrol Group? You think you can catch me? Ahahahahahahahaha! Please! Don't be ridiculous, I can destroy all of you in an instant!"

"Very well then... if you insist." Irami said as he picked up a strange gizmo from his pocket.

The very moment he took it out, Vegeta commanded, "Computer, initiate gravity simulator to one thousand times normal gravity."

"W-wait! Stop, Vegeta, no!" Goku cried out as the Saiyan Prince hanged up.

They felt the Gravity increase fast and Gohan cried out as he felt himself sticking into the floor. Goku struggled to last, calling out his son's name in agony. Irami felt his resistance fading and he, too, crushed into the floor. The three of them struggled and screamed in agony.

"Gohaaaan!" Goku screamed.

"Daddy!" the six year old boy cried out.

Seeing his son suffering like this and knowing nothing of what Vegeta has done to Krilin, Bulma and Yamcha brought Goku to the edge. He needed to save his son now, save everyone from the ruthless and insane Saiyan he thought he could trust. Back on Namek, Goku was convinced that Vegeta was true to his word, that he would never hurt anybody again so long as Bulma was his. When Bulma announced her official relationship with Vegeta, Goku thought it was good for him, for him to be controlled from killing people. When Goku learned of Bulma and Vegeta ending up together from Trunks, he thought that despite everything Vegeta was, a monster like himself would have a chance to change himself.

He knew that Vegeta, despite all his insanity and blood lust, is a person worth saving. And he of all people knows that only Bulma could save him from his own evilness.

But why is it that Vegeta was not turning for the better. He's getting even worse.

Goku realized that Vegeta must not love Bulma out of mutual feelings but of insane obsession. To own her for himself.

A Crimson dipped Obsession.

And that the Saiyan Prince himself was beyond redemption. His insanity and lust for blood has been too much for him to control.

Then the entire Capsule House suddenly shook with an explosion.

A loud boisterous laughter alerted me and I woke up. The cruel sound was ringing through my ears as my vision adjusted to my dimly lit surroundings. I blinked, first thing I saw before me was a man, muffled sounds coming out from him. Is that Yamcha? I could barely make his face, what has happened to him? He looked so tortured and broken. Just as I am. Wait... Was he actually the person Vegeta was torturing the times I could hear someone's muffled screams in another room?

I weakly turned my head to the source of the loud evil laugh and found those flame-shaped spikes. I tried to call his name but only a low, whispering sound came out of my mouth. I couldn't speak loudly again, just like these past days.

That day when Vegeta brought me to that beautiful island and invited me to eat dinner. He must have put something on the red wine he made me drink. When I awaken I was in here, helplessly restrained completely. Of course, I tried to find ways for me to escape but he was being too watchful of me all the time. I thought I could escape him if ever he focused his attention to something else or get out for some food or restroom needs. But he would always place some kind of relaxant medications into the IV line stuck on my hand to make me feel sick and weakened. Sometimes he would knock me out with some sleeping drugs as well. It was then that I realized how it would be completely impossible to escape from Vegeta when he has every senses in his body focused on you. And that realization sent a chill of terror across my entire body. I do not know what he's going to do. I do not even know if I'm still a virgin or not.

I didn't know how many days have passed since he took me away. And I felt betrayed. I remember asking him why he's doing this so suddenly, thinking it has something to do with me finding out those bones on Pepper Island. He only answered with 'To preserve our relationship until the end'. I did not understand the reason and meaning behind that.

Vegeta was talking to someone on the TV, I see that he has Irami-kun, Son-kun and Gohan-kun in the Gravity Room. The three of them struggling against the gravity that would crush them completely if it goes on. I heard Vegeta and Irami talk about the bones on Pepper Island. Vegeta admitted that he killed his twin brother. A twin brother? So the skull that I usually saw him cradling in his arms lately and the bones on Pepper Island were his twin brother's? He didn't mention anything about him having any siblings before.

Vegeta was not entirely worried about Irami-kun's threat to tell the Galactic Patrol Group. I know someone in that organization. An alien friend of my older sister, Taitsu-nechan. So did Jaco sent Irami-kun to investigate that murder?

When Vegeta ordered for the computer to initiate the Gravity Simulator to one thousand times normal gravity, I panicked. I could hear Irami-kun, Son-kun and Gohan-kun's agonized screams and Vegeta laughing madly again. And then Son-kun's roaring. Vegeta's loud, demonic laughter suddenly cut off with a surprised, "W-What the-?!"

Then there was an explosion that shook the entire island. Somebody has fired at the Capsule House's roof. I raised my head to see a white cape billowing against the wind on the hole that was made on the roof. I found Piccolo hovering in there with two fingers pointed at Vegeta.

"Just as I thought you are not to be trusted, Saiyan." Piccolo growled.

Vegeta slowly turned to him, his scary red eyes glaring at Piccolo with a terrifying look. And then a wry, crooked smile stretched curled on his lips. "Piccolo, what do you think you're doing in here? Don't tell me that you're going to take my Bulma away from me too? I never thought that you had such interest."

"Hmph! Don't get me wrong, Vegeta. I could care less about your girlfriend but you are going to pay for trying to kill Gohan!" Piccolo yelled as he blindly charged at Vegeta. He took Vegeta by his throat and pushed him into the computer console, slamming him hard into the table and growled into his ear. "Now you let go of Gohan and the others before I kill you in here."

Vegeta's facial expression was of cold disinterest as he said, "Make me."

Piccolo hit him on the face with a powerful punch, and Vegeta collapsed into the floor. "Oh trust me, I will. Maybe you would want to transform into that Legendary Super Saiyan thing to engage me."

Vegeta picked himself up from the floor, and then he suddenly threw his head back to laugh out madly, "Bwahahahahahahahaha! You actually think you could stand up to my Super Saiyan powers!"

"Yes, I do." Piccolo smirked, as he picked up and unceremoniously threw Vegeta into the wall. Vegeta crushed into it and was thrown out of the house, by a few yards away. Piccolo flew after him and they probably brawled it all out there. As they did that, I tried to look around for ways to quickly escape and save the others. If I don't do anything, all of us are going to die!

I realized that the weakness I was feeling earlier was gone. I have found Krilin lying somewhere on the floor across this cell. Is he dead? Despite my anxiety, I still tried to call him as loud as I could.

"Krilin! Krilin!" I shouted hoarsely, hoping for him to hear me. Hurry up and wake up, please.

He stirred a little before he shot up, completely confused. "Eh? What? Where am I?" he asked himself, looking around. His hand flew to the side of his head as he mumbled, "Oooowwwwch... What the hell happened?"

"Krilin!" I called once more.

He suddenly turned to me, confused. "Bulma-san!"

"Krilin, let me out in here! Hurry! Before Vegeta comes back to kill us all!" I ordered him.

"Okay!" Krilin hurriedly ran towards the railings of this prison cell and began pulling at the rails using his ki power. It didn't budge at all. I tried looking around for keys. I saw them lying on the computer console.

"Krilin! The keys!" I pointed out to him. He quickly ran into the console to retrieve the keys and went through it one by one. "Hurry!" I cried out.

We heard Vegeta's loud roar echoing outside. And Krilin panicked. He hurriedly went through the keys and was finally able to open the locks. He then tried the keys to free me from being chained. Once I was free I quickly dashed towards the console as fast as I could, typed in a few passcodes only those of my family knows and then I deactivated the Gravity Simulator.

I let out a sigh of relief now that Son-kun and the others' lives were saved, though they were obviously severely injured but at least they're alive.

Krilin freed Yamcha, too and that's when I saw how badly injured he was. He was very thin, sickly pale, and very weak. I ran towards him and hugged him. "Yamcha! Oh Yamcha! I'm so sorry!" I cried. He didn't answer, he just sobbed. Completely traumatic.

We heard Vegeta's raging roar once again and then the entire island shook.

"Oh shit!" I muttered. I hope Piccolo was able to hold him back long enough. "Krilin! I will open the Gravity Room, you've got to help Son-kun and the others to go out."

"Okay, Bulma-san." Krilin then ran out of the CCTV room. I turned away from Yamcha and returned to the computer console. I typed in a few commands before I was able to disengage the barriers and open the highly secured locks of the Gravity Room. I watched as Krilin took Son-kun and Gohan out,who were noticeably unconscious and in vegetative states. Irami-kun limply came out on his own though. He's one tough guy just as Vegeta said. I was amazed.

Then suddenly behind me, I felt a maleficent presence. I gasped out, I knew he's back.

"Just what do you think you're doing, my dear little Bulma?"

The first thing I felt was overwhelming fear. I cannot believe why he was doing this all of a sudden. He just took me away, confined and restrained me and tried to kill my friends as he held me hostage. Because of that, the next thing I felt was anger, and I turned around to slap him as hard as I could across his face.

And it hurt my hand, probably broke a few bones too but I didn't care. I was angry enough that I want to beat the shit out of him.

Tears went streaming through my eyes as I glared at him the most disgusted, most hateful glare I could ever manage.

Vegeta turned his head to look at me, his expression was of total shock and pain, not that my slap could have hurt him though. His eyes, ebony and innocent, stared at me. "Eh? Bulma...?" he muttered as if he just came out of his senses from being a psycho who lost all self control. "My... Bulma... Why..?" he asked, his question sounded really hurt.

"Stop it, Vegeta! I've had enough of you!" I growled at him. Damn him and his stupid innocent amnesia acts! Why would he go through all this and then act it all out as if he doesn't know anything about what he's doing. I turned away from him angrily, taking the box of dino-capsules at the console before I went to help Yamcha, then left Vegeta alone to go to Krilin and the others. He stayed there, completely frozen.

I found Krilin retrieving a beaten but conscious Piccolo outside where Son-kun, Irami-kun and Gohan-kun were.

"Shall we go?" I asked.

"Okay... b-but..."

"Bulma my dear, you're not thinking of leaving me here all alone, are you?" Vegeta asked innocently, like a child being afraid of being left alone by his mother. "N-Neh, M-m-my Bulma... W-why don't we watch the stars now?"

...

It took me a few seconds to answer. At first I didn't know how to respond to that. Maybe if he didn't try to do this I would have stayed. B-but I... I didn't want to stay, I was scared and angry at him too much.

I slowly turned around, glaring at him with the same disgusted, unnecessary hateful glare I gave him earlier. "Go to hell, you heartless monster!"

Vegeta froze, shock and pain evident on his face. He's like a statue of a greek god with being half naked and wearing just a pair of black cycling shorts. His training shorts.

I angrily looked away, unceremoniously took out a dino-capsule from a dino capsule box I found in the console earlier and threw it on the ground. The jet plane Vegeta and I used to go to this island appeared out of thin air before me. We carefully placed Son-kun, Piccolo, and Gohan-kun inside and then took off.

As I piloted the plane out of the Paradiser's Island - that turned out Hell's Island for all of us, I can't help but wonder, would Vegeta suddenly come after us and kill us all? I turned to see him on his knees on the ground, clutching at both sides of his head and probably crying out loud. I think I heard him cry out my name in despair.

I'm sorry Vegeta. If only you didn't do this then I wouldn't have to change my mind over our relationship. It wasn't just out of love just as you used to say. Your 'love' as you called it, was a psychotic, bloodthirsty, possessive and obsessive love. And I don't want it. I don't want you killing others for me. I thought me trying to understand and accept you would help you control this crazy, bloodthirsty and monstrous side of yours but in the end, you only turned for the worse.

I cannot believe what you just did. Is this what you wanted? I thought I knew this isn't what you wanted.

And yet you still chose this.

There's no turning back now.

Goodbye, Vegeta.

TO BE CONTINUED

Author's Notes: Okay, I know it's a very bad move for Vegeta to do that. After what happened, would Vegeta kill them all and destroy them or would he try to win theit trust again? We'll see next chapter! Now in reply to your wonderful reviews:

Review: Vegeta brought Yamcha with him to the island. Why? What was the purpose of that?

Answer: Hmmm... Actually, Yamcha was in that island in the first place. Paradiser's Island was the unnamed place where he brought Yamcha in for the past months (back in Chapter 20: An Investigation). However, in order to avoid Bulma seeing him when they came there, he rendered Yamcha unconscious and hid him in the forest. After Vegeta locked up Bulma, he went on to retrieve Yamcha's body just so he can torture him in there. At the first few days, Vegeta had Yamcha in a room seperate from Bulma, where he would torture him but would leave him in near death.

Review: To the author of this fic,You're sick and twisted, you know that?

Answer: Heh, thank you.

Review: This chapter is nuts! Great job on making this story as twisted, and hair pulling and mind-boggling keeping me on the edge of my seat. Please update as quickly as possible I want know what happened to Bulma and what will happen to Goku and the others. Are they all going to die?

Answer: The answer is on this chapter and because of Bulma and Krilin they all survived but... what will happen next when Vegeta comes after them is something I'm not sure of.

Review: I'm confused on what happened to bulma. Did she sent the text or not. Vegeta didn't kill her right?

Answer: Vegeta brought Bulma to an island and then kidnapped her for days in order to lure goku and the others so he could kill them for his Bulma because he thinks they're getting in his way. Also his lust for blood is something he cannot control. He could not live without having a blood feast. (Perhaps because of his insanity). Vegeta was the one who sent that message as he admitted on this chapter.

Review: OMG what the hell happened to Bulma?! What did Vegeta do to her? Is Krilin dead? Why did Vegeta suddenly do this?! Is he going to kill them all?

Answer: They're all alive as you see in this chapter. And that was good. For now?

[Next Chapter Preview]

Krilin: What are we going to do if Vegeta suddenly goes berserk? Are we even ready to fight him? This is a battle we cannot win.

Yamcha: Vegeta said it was you who invented that.

Bulma: Me? Invented this thing?

Bulma: I have a plan on how we can defeat Vegeta.

Goku: I don't think that was right, Bulma.

Mrs. Briefs: Vegeta-chan stopped by earlier. He asked me to give you that box in the sala.

On Vegeta's letter: To my dear little Bulma, I give to you my heart.

Bulma: AAAHHH!

Bulma: Son-kun! Vegeta's here!

Vegeta: Why does she always misunderstand? Why can't she love me for what I am? Am I that hard to be loved? If I cannot have her even in this universe I-

Towa: Are you going to destroy them all?

Vegeta: ... and it all ended up the same as that time...

Towa: You know it's not too late to change things, Vegeta. You know what to do.

Vegeta: If only I can protect her again... I wish the Androids would come sooner than expected so that Bulma can see how I will fight for her.

*A red sports car passed by Vegeta and his sharp eyes caught the three passengers of that car. A teenaged boy with shoulder length dark hair wearing an orange bandana was driving the vehicle. A girl with the same exact hairstyle, only blonde in color sat beside him. While a bulky orange headed man sat at the backseat of the said car. And they all shot their cold pale blue eyes towards Vegeta's glassy obsidian pair.

[Chapter 24: Hurt]
