A/N:Here it is guys, the next chapter. I hope you guys like it. Please read and review, I love hearing what you have to say.
Chapter 4:
Bulma waited outside the gym for Vegeta. She was leaning against the wall and thinking about what Juu had told her. So he's a Sayian. That is amazing. No wonder he has so much power. The tail thing is kinda weird, but not in a bad way. Now Goku doesn't have to hide his tail anymore. She was brought back to earth when Vegeta walked out of the gym. He was wearing his jean and black shirt again, but his jacket was hanging over his right shoulder and his navy blue backpack over the other. His left hand was in his back jean pocket and he looked absolutely amazing. He is beyond hot. Bulma could not help but stare. He looked so bad and sexy with that smirk on his face. His tail was swaying slowly behind him as he walked to her.
Vegeta could not help the smirk that formed on his lips when he saw her. She was wearing the same outfit as this morning; a black leather mini skirt that reached half way down her leg with black high heeled lace-up boots that ended just under her knee, a purple halter neck top, that was hugging her large bust tightly, with a black leather jacket that only came to her waist. The jacket had metal studs on the shoulders and when she pushed herself away from the wall Vegeta could see a picture of a tiger and a dragon on her back, but her hair, which was now hanging loose, quickly covered it. Vegeta could see that even though her hair was abnormally long, it was still thick, healthy and strong. He wanted to run his hands through it, but mentally scolded himself for that thought. She also had a black and purple messenger bag over her should.
"Come on Woman. We have a maths class to get to." Vegeta waited for her to start walking and fell in step next to her. He could smell her strawberry scent again and moved slightly away from her. They walked in silence for a few minutes.
"Hey Vegeta. What is your favourite subject?" Bulma wanted to get to know him.
"I love anything that has to do with fighting, but I think the Weapons Training is going to be the most fun." Vegeta had been trying to think of something to say, so he was happy that she had broken the silence.
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to that class too. I had a few classes in using katanas, but this is gonna be my first year of training with more than one type of weapon and I kinda don't know what to expect. So what is the planet you're from called?" Bulma was very curious about Sayians, because Goku was one.
"We no longer have a planet so there is no use in telling you what the thing's name was." Vegeta had suddenly gotten rude again and Bulma had a feeling it had to do with losing his planet, or rather the reason why it was lost. They walked out of the gym building and started walking to the math complex.
"I'm sorry Vegeta. I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." Bulma felt really bad about upsetting him, but did not know how to make it better.
"Yeah whatever Woman. Let's just get to this stupid class and get it over with." Vegeta was thinking about the day his planet was taken and it still left an empty feeling in his chest. The same day that he had to say goodbye to his parents…
Bulma frowned when she saw the pained look in Vegeta's eyes, but it was gone just as fast as it had appeared.
"Don't worry about math. We have Miss Launch Shinhan and she is really nice. However, when she sneezes her dark blue hair becomes blond and then she is a real bitch. We usually try to make her sneeze again. She has a split personality and it's kinda funny too. One time we were in the middle of a test when she changed and started shooting at us with a machine gun. A few kids were hurt, but nothing to serious. We all got extra marks because our tests were destroyed. Goku was really happy about that, because he had forgotten to study." Bulma giggled at her story and Vegeta felt his lips tug at the corners. She has the most amazing laugh. I wonder what she sounds like when she's really laughing. I hope I get to hear it. Wait! What the hell am I thinking? I don't care about her or her sexy, creamy white neck… Mind, would you fucking stop thinking about how sexy she is? Vegeta shook his head trying to get the crazy ideas out of his mind. He looked at Bulma again and saw she was smiling to herself.
They were almost at the class and they could hear a few kids going nuts in there. When they walked into the class, they saw that there were two open seats in the back. They walked to them and sat down next to each other. Bulma quickly put her bag on the floor and started getting out her notebook and pens. When she lifted her head, she saw Tasha walking into the class. She was about to get up when Vegeta stopped her.
"She is not worth getting yourself expelled Woman. Forget about her for now and kick her ass tomorrow in Martial Arts. I'm sure master Gohan will allow you to fight her again." Vegeta was not looking at Bulma, but at the idiot who had walked into the class after her. Yamcha. Something about that guy just pissed Vegeta off to no end. Vegeta cocked his head to one side and looked at the moron's parade. Many girls followed Yamcha and they were all drooling. Vegeta just rolled his eyes and started doodling on the back of his notebook.
Bulma was also looking at Yamcha now and she realised just how much of a womanizer he was. She looked at the group of girls around him and saw that all of them would slyly look at Vegeta every now and again and Bulma started getting a little angry, but did not know why. I can't be jealous, can I? I only know him a few hours and he hasn't been nice with me once. Yeah okay, so he saved my life, but that doesn't mean I can be falling for him that quickly, can it?
As Bulma tried to figure out her feelings, Vegeta looked up again. He saw that most of the guys in the class were staring at the beauty beside him and he felt suddenly possessive of her. He shocked himself with that feeling and tried to push it away as far as possible, but it seemed impossible. When he saw Yamcha looking at her he had to force away the growl that threatened to come out of his mouth. He had to find a way to put some distance between him and the blue haired angel or he was never going to reach his goal. Wait… did I just call her an angel? I really need to stay away from her. Vegeta growled softly at himself and that shook Bulma out of her thoughts. She found that sound incredibly sexy and she wanted to hear him growl at her when she kissed him. No, don't even think like that Bulma Briefs. You are not allowed to fall for this hot, captivating bad boy. He will only hurt you. Bulma's brain tried to reason with her. But what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger and I really want to kiss him. Her heart protested. Nevertheless, falling for him could only lead to heartbreak and that might just kill you.
During Bulma's inner struggle, the teacher walked in. She was in a long white dress and looked so sweet and friendly with her dark hair. When Miss Launch put her books on her desk, the whole class became quiet.
"Hello my dears. Please take your seats so we can begin. I see on the register that we have two new boys joining us today. Would you two please come to speak to me? I want to ask you a few questions." With that, she turned to her desk and started sorting out the papers she was to hand to them all when she was done talking to Vegeta and Yamcha. Yamcha quickly walked to the pretty teacher. Vegeta stood up threw his jacket over the back of his seat and walked forward slowly with his hands in his jean pockets.
"Hello Miss. I am Yamcha Bandit. It is great to know I have such a pretty math teacher. All my previous teachers where either ugly old ladies or men." Yamcha was smiling charmingly at the blushing teacher.
"Young man, I am married and happily so. I would appreciate it if you would not flirt with me." The teacher smiled sweetly at Yamcha and then turned to Vegeta. Vegeta was trying not to laugh at Yamcha's face and crossed his arms over his chest.
"So if he's Yamcha, you must be Vegeta. I have heard a lot about you Mr Ouji. Some say you are a delinquent. I do not judge others by what I have heard about them. I also believe that no matter what to always be yourself, so feel free to comment on anything I say. I have a feeling you will have a lot to say." She smiled happily at Vegeta and gave him a wink. Vegeta smirked when he saw the dumbfounded look on Yamcha's face.
"Well Miss, if I am free to be myself in your class may I punch the dumb look off Yafta's face?" Vegeta saw the teacher trying to hide her smile at his comment.
"No Vegeta you cannot. He did not do anything wrong, but the moment I believe he deserves a punch to the face I will let you know. And please call me Launch. Everyone else does." She chuckled softly and waved them away; telling them to go back to their seats. Yamcha was speechless until something registered in his mind.
"Wait a second. Did you just call me Yafta? My name is Yamcha you idiotic monkey." Yamcha was losing his temper, but Vegeta just sneered at him.
"I may have a tail, but that does not make me a monkey you stupid buffoon. Now run back to your followers so that they can protect you, Yafta." Vegeta just smirked again and walked back to his seat. When he got there he saw Bulma trying not to laugh. He could see her struggling to breathe and the pure joy on her face turned his smirk into a grin.
"What do you find so funny Woman?" He cocked his head to one side and just stared at her with that grin on his face.
"His . . . ha-ha . . . face . . . ha-ha . . . Oh . . . My Soul!" she said between giggle fits.
"You sure know how to knock down someone's ego Veggie Head. He was basically hyperventilating." Bulma smiled widely at Vegeta and he sat down. He raised an eyebrow at the new nickname.
"Would you please stop thinking of nicknames for me? Just call me Vegeta for fuck's sake" Vegeta grumbled.
"Oh stop being such a spoil sport. You keep calling me Woman so I think it only seems fair that I give you a nickname too." She pouted at him and all Vegeta could think about was kissing her pouting lips till she moaned his name. Vegeta started scolding himself again and before he could answer her, they were called to attention.
"Okay class, today we are going to write a simple evaluation test to see what you kids know and since this is Advanced Math I need you all to be at the proper level. So please get ready and be quiet. When you are done you may hand in you test and have the rest of the period off." While she was talking she handed out the tests. Many of the students moaned aloud when they saw that the test was not really that simple. Vegeta smirked at his test and answered 50 questions in less than 20minutes. Close on his tail was Bulma. When he stood to hand in his test, she was also finishing off. He handed in his test and walked back to his desk to pack up his things. When he was finished, he saw Bulma handing in her test, her bag over her shoulder. She waited for him at the door and they walked out together.
They walked down the hall and out of the complex doors, towards the advanced sciences building. Advanced Science was a combination of chemistry and physics and it was one of the hardest subjects on campus, because every Monday after class, every Advanced Science student had a chemistry practical and every Wednesday they had a physics practical. Each practical was 3 hours long and the experiments they did were very complicated, but Bulma loved it because she always did very well. She silently hoped their teachers, Mr Tien Shinhan and Dr Gero, would make Vegeta her lab partner.
When they reached the building, they sat outside on the grass under a big oak tree waiting for the bell to ring. Vegeta put his jacket on his backpack and lay back with his hands behind his head. Bulma was sitting next to him with her back against the tree's trunk. Vegeta turned his head a bit and looked at her face. Her eyes were closed as if she was taking in the tranquil silence. She sat forward suddenly and started taking off her leather jacket. Vegeta felt his heart race as he watched her. She shrugged it off the rest of the way and put it on the bag. Vegeta could see the back properly now. It was a beautiful tiger taking on a purple dragon in the form of a yin and yang sign. Vegeta sat up and took the jacket to inspect the picture. It was a very intricately drawn image and it was clear that it had been handmade, as it was painted on the leather. Vegeta looked up at Bulma and saw that she was blushing. This intrigued him, so he looked back at the image. Then he saw it; at the bottom of the picture in the left-hand corner, he saw two B's slightly intertwined and he could see that it was a signature.
"You did this." Vegeta stated. It wasn't a question, but Bulma answered anyway.
"Yes. That is our club insignia." Bulma was still blushing and tried to take her jacket back.
"What club?" Vegeta asked holding the jacket away from her. He was amazed at how creative she was. The image was beautiful and you could see she had amazing talent.
"The club that me, Goku, Chi Chi, Juu, Krillen and Piccolo belong to. We call ourselves The Z Fighters." Bulma pointed to the top of the picture where the letters 'TZF' were painted. Vegeta slowly ran his left hand over the picture again.
"Did you make a jacket like this for all your friends?" Vegeta gave her back the jacket and looked into her eyes.
"Yes, but all our dragons are different colours. Goku's is orange; Krillen's is light green, while Piccolo's is a dark green. Juu's is red and Chi wanted a pink one. So I made them all. The tiger stays the same though." Bulma ran her hand over the spot Vegeta had just touched and she felt his heat still on the soft leather.
"Who is this Piccolo guy? I haven't met him yet." Vegeta was watching her hand and imagined it on his skin.
"Oh he will only be here tomorrow. He is still on planet Namek with his dad, Lord Kami. Kami is the headmaster at Dende Academy. You'll like Piccolo; he is also the strong silent type." Bulma blushed again when she realised what she just said.
"So you think I'm strong Woman?" Vegeta chuckled when he saw her blush even redder.
"You know that you're strong Veggie Head. You don't need me to tell you that." She giggled when she saw his face. He was about to retort when the bell rang. He got up, grabbed his jacket and backpack and held out his hand to help Bulma up. He did not know why he did that, but when he was around her, he just felt like he needed to be a gentleman.
They walked into the building together and headed for their class. Each class in the science building had double workbenches specifically for the practical's and in the lectures; you sat at your bench with your lab partner. Bulma walked over to a bench near a window and sat down. Vegeta sat down next to her and put his backpack on the floor. They both got out their notebooks and pens. Vegeta was going through the chemistry textbook when he saw Bulma was drawing something on the back of her notebook. It looked just like the royal crest of the Sayians.
"Where did you see that?" he asked suddenly and you could hear the tension in his voice. Very few people knew that sign and all of them were the royal families of the Sayian race.
"I see it in my dreams almost every night. Why do you ask?" she looked at him suspiciously.
"That is the Royal Crest of the Sayians. All the truly royal families would wear that on their armour or clothing." Vegeta was puzzled at the thought that she saw that sign in her dreams. There was only one royal family left after the war.
"Well in my dreams I'm looking in a mirror and trough it I see a battlefield. When I look at myself, I see that I have armour on and I know its Sayian armour, because when I was little I met a Sayian with the same armour, but anyway. That sign is always on my left breastplate. Ha-ha . . . but don't worry Vegeta, it's only a silly dream." Bulma went back to drawing and was lost in her thoughts. Vegeta pondered what she said. If her dream was to be believed, then either she was a member of one of the old royal families or she was married to a royal. Since she was not married, it could not be the second option, but it could not be the first either, because she was not a Sayian. Vegeta focused on her Ki and was startled by what he felt. Her Ki was completely different from anything he had every felt before. It was not Sayian, but neither was it completely human. Vegeta shook his head again. Well she still can't be a Sayian, she has no tail.
Vegeta was still wondering about the mystery that was Bulma when two teachers entered the class. One was a young man with three eyes and a baldhead, while the other was a lot older and Vegeta could clearly see that he was an android.
"Morning class. I'm Mr Tien Shinhan, but you guys can call me Tien." The bald guy leaned against the big desk at the front of the class.
"And I am Dr Gero. You all may know me as the Headmaster at Z Tech. I am here to give you all Advanced Chemistry. My classes will be on Monday, Tuesday and half the period on Wednesday's, while Tien will then be giving you your Advanced Physics classes for the rest of the weak. Each week in the practical, you will be tested on the previous week's work. I suggest you prepare for these practical, because they are not easy." Dr Gero stepped back and Tien spoke again.
"Now I know that we have to choose you lab partners for you, but I have discovered that you guys work better with someone if you are able to choose yourself. The only lab partners I will be assigning is Miss Briefs', because I know that everyone wants to be her partner so that you don't have to do any work. Miss Briefs, I have decided to make the new student we have this year your partner, do you have any objections?" Tien smiled at her. The whole class groaned when they heard this.
"No sir. I'm fine with working with Vegeta." Bulma smiled politely at him, but inside she was jumping for joy.
"Okay then. This period we are not going to do any work. Please pick you lab partner and come and write your names together on the class list. When you are done with that please come get your lab coat, chemistry sets, safety goggles and combination locks for your science lockers." Dr Gero walked to a door behind the desk, which led to a storeroom and unlocked it. While the rest of the class decided whom they wanted for lab partners Bulma and Vegeta walked over to Dr Gero.
"Okay you two. Get a lab coat that fits and grab your other things. Then you can leave, seeing, as it is lunch after this anyway. Put your stuff in you Science lockers. You can pick any locker you want." He handed them their locks, they grabbed the rest of the stuff they needed and left the storeroom. They headed for their bench. When they got there, they quickly put their stuff away and headed out the class. They picked the 2 lockers closest to the class, locked their equipment along with their chemistry and physics textbooks inside and head out of the building again. When they were outside Vegeta remembered that he had left his jacket in the class and was on his way back when Bulma stopped him.
"Looking for this Veggie Head?" Bulma said holding up his jacket that was in her left hand.
"Yeah. Now give it to me Woman." Vegeta tried to grab his jacket, but Bulma started running, laughing at him.
"You'll have to catch me first Veggie." She ran as fast as she could, still laughing, when she was suddenly pulled to a halt.
"That was not a very smart idea Woman. Give me my jacket or face the consequences." Vegeta said softly into her ear. Bulma felt a shiver go down her spin.
"And what if I don't want to?" she said, her voice coming out a lot huskier than she had planned.
"Then I will start tickling you until you laugh so hard that you can't breathe." Vegeta said and he secretly hoped that she would refuse.
"I don't think so Veggie. You won't tickle me. That's just an empty threat." Bulma was trying to get out of his arms, because she was not sure if he would really tickle her.
"That's where you're wrong Woman, I don't make empty threats and seeing as you're still not giving back my jacket and that you called me that name again, I must punish you." Vegeta's voice was low, threatening and ultra-sexy. Bulma would listen to him all day and night if he kept talking like that. Bulma was still thinking about his voice when he started tickling her. She tried to hold in her laughter while trying to get out of his arms, but it was to no avail and soon she was laughing so hard that tears came streaming down her cheeks. To Vegeta her laugh was one of the most beautiful things he had ever heard. Her laughter was contagious and he started laughing with her.
While they were laughing neither of them noticed that Bulma had dropped the jacket. Bulma was struggling to breathe, just like Vegeta had promised. Vegeta decided to stop tickling her, but when he stopped, he noticed just how close they were standing to each other. Bulma noticed the jacket on the floor and bent over to pick it up. When she bent, Vegeta could not take his eyes of her ass. He swallowed to try and wet his suddenly dry throat. When she stood straight, again she turned to give Vegeta his jacket. She then saw how close they were and was about to take a step back when her heel got stuck between two paving stones. She started falling and Vegeta reacted by grabbing her around the waist again.
He looked into her beautiful blue eyes and leaned in to kiss her. Bulma closed her eyes waiting for his lips to touch hers.
Hope you guys enjoyed it. Please Review and tell what you think.
