A/N: Hey guys. I know it's been awhile, but this last year has been crazy. At the moment I am Au Pairing and will be able to write a lot more in my free time, so hope fully I will update at least once a month.

Meanwhile, I hope you like this one. Keep me posted on your thoughts.

Chapter 11:

Doctor Briefs walked into his office Monday morning to find Nappa and Prince Vegeta sitting in front of his desk. He calmly greeted them and sat down in his chair.

"Your Highness, shouldn't you be at school?" The doctor asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't see how that's any of your business doctor. We have important things to discuss, starting with what you know about the royals." Vegeta said crossing his arms over his chest.

"My apologies Your Highness. The best I can do for you is to show you the video you father recorded for you just before the planet was destroyed. He asked me to give it to you when I thought you were ready." Doctor Briefs turned to the computer on his desk and started typing away. He asked Vegeta and Nappa to go to the conference room next door and that he would be with them shortly.

Vegeta got up, walk to the room without hesitation, and sat down in a chair facing the large screen, Nappa taking a seat close by. Doctor Briefs soon followed, remote in hand. He sat down opposite Vegeta and pressed play.

The screen came to life and for the first time in what felt like forever Vegeta looked at a face so much like his own, the only difference being the beard. Vegeta sat frozen as his father started speaking.

"Son, if you are watching this then Frieza won the war, Doctor Briefs is sitting close by and you are on Earth. I know you must have many questions and I am going to try to answer as many as I can. If after you have watched this you need to know anything more, just ask the good doctor.

I am sorry that I am not there to tell you all of this in person, but I hope you will understand and forgive me. I sent you away with Nappa yesterday and I know he can protect until you can protect yourself against that tyrant Frieza.

What you may not know is that I also sent a small convoy of Sayians away to hide until you have reached the Legendary, like I know you can. The convoy is a total of 20 Sayians, male and female, and are led by one of our best, Bardock. You may have met his son Kakarot, for he was also sent to earth yesterday.

But that is not the main reason for this recording. Many years ago, there was a prophecy that stated that an evil tyrant will take over the universe and destroy all that opposed him, but in the prophecy it also said that a Golden Sayian Warrior would dethrone the tyrant and take his place as the true king of the Sayian world. This Golden Warrior would not stand-alone; he would have a team of 7 warriors fighting with him. One of these warriors would also be the future queen of the Sayian world, for she is half-Sayian half-human. She would also be the key to the Golden Warrior becoming the Legendary.

So my son, I believe you to be this Golden Warrior and I wish I was there to see it. This girl that will be your key is also the daughter of one of the oldest royal families on Vegetasei. I do not know if you remember the blue haired queen, if not ask Nappa he was her royal guard for a short time.

I'm sorry that I cannot say much more, but it seems my time is up.

Take care my son and know that even though I did not say it much, I am proud of you."

The screen went off, but Vegeta was still frozen to his spot. Abruptly he turned to Nappa.

"Who was my father talking about Nappa? What blue haired queen?" he asked sharply. Nappa was quiet for a few seconds, but when he saw Vegeta getting impatient, he answered.

"Sire, she was the queen from the far side of the planet, Queen Tatiana. Some believed she might be the direct daughter of King Broly, because he only favoured her mother. King Broly never married but he made Tatiana's mother a queen without her having a husband and he often went to visit her. Tatiana was born a few months after King Broly had died and she was born with blue hair, something that was truly rare in our people." Nappa explained quickly.

"But she died when the planet was destroyed so where is her daughter?" Vegeta asked getting frustrated.

"Prince, you know her daughter quiet well actually." Doctor Briefs said.

"And how is that?" Vegeta asked.

"Let me explain it like this Your Highness. Bulma is not truly my daughter. In actual fact I am her grandfather, she is the child of my son Theo and Queen Tatiana. They were to be married, but because of the war, they never got the chance. My wife and I escaped Vegetasei with Bulma just before it exploded. We thought it would be easier for all of us if she only found out about it when you were ready. We all know how pushy she can be." The doctor leaned back in his chair and waited for Vegeta to process all the information he had just received.

Vegeta suddenly rose and stormed out. He could hear the doctor and Nappa calling him back, but he needed time on his own to processes everything he had just heard. He masked his Ki and flew in a random direction, just trying to get away.

Bulma is a Halfling? How could I have not seen this? She's powerful and has the temper of a Sayian. I can't believe I missed it. I wonder if she ever had a real tail and if her tail was blue like her hair or brown like mine.

Before Vegeta knew it, he was at school. He went straight to Headmaster Gohan's office.

"Did you know about this?" Vegeta asked, his face red and his voice rude.

"Yes, Vegeta I knew, but I was sworn to secrecy by your father and the doctor and you must also not tell Bulma. She deserves to hear this from her father." Master Gohan said in a calm voice, trying to placate Vegeta.

"You mean her GRANDfather. They lied to her, her whole life." Vegeta was fuming.

"But Vegeta if you tell her, she'll hate you and them forever. Give her parents the time to do this, please." Master Gohan pleaded.

The thought of Bulma hating him sobered Vegeta quickly and he turned to leave. At the door he stopped and said:

"If they do not tell her within the next few days, I will tell her, damn the consequences. She deserves to know her heritage." He then stormed off to find his friends and specifically Bulma. If the prophecy says I need her, she will not leave my sight. My nightmares will NOT come true.

Bulma was starting to get worried. It was lunch already and there was no sign of Vegeta. Since he had come to their school he had not missed a day. Bulma was looking out the window and biting her thumbnail when she felt a warm hand on her thigh through her black skinny jeans. She was about to give some guy the beating of his life when she looked into Vegeta's jet black eyes. She calmed down, but before she could ask where he had been she saw him shaking his head slightly and turning to listen to Goku talk about food.

Bulma leaned her head on Vegeta's shoulder and just soaked up the warmth of him. She had been having terrifying nightmares and the only thing that seemed to calm her down was his scent. She had even gone and taken the pillow he sleeps on when he slept over at her house.

Vegeta suddenly lifted from his seat and stood protectively in front of her. When she looked past him, she saw five beings in strange armor standing in the door. They looked menacing and beyond evil and she could feel them searching out the Ki signals in the cafeteria. Bulma quickly whispered that everyone at their table hide their Ki strengths.

A voice suddenly boomed:

"We are looking for your strongest fighting team, because we are from the Red Galaxy and we are here to see if you bunch of weaklings can take us on." The leader of the group smiled after his speech and waited for an answer. He was a pale purple with black sharp horns on top of his head. Behind him the other 4 just had their arms crossed smirking evilly. They were in all different shapes and sizes. The smallest was almost as round as a ball with four eyes and he was also the oddest color green. Then there was a red alien with long white hair, a big slim blue alien and then lastly something that looked human, but also not with bright orange hair.

((A/N: If you haven't guessed, it's the Ginyu Force Hehe))

"Seems like none of you can talk. But I am sorry I was so rude; let me introduce my comrades and myself. We are the Ginyu Force and I am Captain Ginyu. This green ball is Guldo, the big guy back there is Recoome, Mr Blue is Burter and the one with all the hair is Jeice."

Vegeta tensed up even more. He knew of these idiots; they were part of Frieza's elite force. They were known for being cruel and merciless. They also knew who he was and would definitely report back to Frieza. Vegeta turned to Goku and looked him straight in the eyes.

"Kakarot, they can't see me, they will tell Frieza straight away. We need to kill them or get them off this planet before they figure out that I'm still alive." Vegeta whispered. Goku nodded slightly and started walking forward, with Krillen and Piccolo flanking him.

"You guys wanna fight? Then let's go out to the area and settle this like warriors." Goku said Chi Chi and Juu going to join them.

"Do you really think that you weaklings can beat us with 2 girls in your team?" Jeice laughed.

"If you think you can beat me, then let's go small-fry." Juu said going to stand in front of him.

"Okay then, if you 5 are so confident, you won't mind betting on the outcome?" Ginyu said, talking before Jeice started screaming.

"What do you wanna bet on?" Chi Chi said raising a brow.

"If you lose, we take over the school." Ginyu stated matter-o-factly.

"And when you lose, you leave this planet and never return." Chi Chi said smirking evilly.

While they were distracted, Vegeta grabbed Bulma and flew out the nearest window.

"Vegeta, what's going on? Who are those idiots?" Bulma asked, peeved because she also wanted to fight.

"Those idiots, as you put it, are part of Frieza's elite force and they do not know that I am still alive. If they see me they will recognize me in seconds and call in more forces to destroy earth and everything on it, just to stop the prophecy from coming true." Vegeta said holding Bulma's hand and flying straight for the doctor's lab, knowing Nappa would still be there.

"What are you talking about Vegeta, and why are we going to my dad's lab?" Bulma asked twining her fingers with his.

"I can't explain right now, but you father can." Vegeta sneered the word father and flew faster to get there as soon as possible. Before Bulma could say anything they made it to the lab and Vegeta sought out the doctor's Ki-signature and headed straight for it.

When they landed in the office Dr. Briefs almost jumped through the roof, Nappa only turned to Vegeta with a raised brow.

"You need to tell her now. Frieza sent the Ginyu Force to earth." Vegeta stated pushing Bulma towards the doctor.

"What? Did they see you, your Highness?" Nappa asked walking towards Vegeta.

"Tell me what? What the hell is going on?" Bulma hated being left in the dark.

"Woman, calm down. If your Ki spikes now, they will know and will be able to locate us." Vegeta looked her in the eye and waited for her to calm down.

"I hoped I would be able to tell you this in our own time, but Vegeta's right, if Frieza's has his eye on earth we need to sort everything out as soon as possible." Dr. Briefs took Bulma's hand and lead her to a chair, gesturing for her to sit while he pulled a chair closer and sat in front of her. Vegeta went to stand next to her.

"Bulma, there is something I need to tell you and I know that you are going to hate me for not telling you sooner, but I need you to listen before you get angry. Listen without saying anything, please." Her father pleaded hoping that she would one day forgive him. Shooting a glace in Vegeta's direction.

"I could never stay angry at you daddy, but I will keep quiet and listen." Bulma said, frowning.

"Well dear, you know that I love you very much," Bulma nodded, smiling at him. "But you see, I am not your father, even if I wish I was." Bulma looked at the man with shock in her beautiful blue eyes. She turned to Vegeta. He put his hand on her shoulder and nodded to the doctor, telling her to listen. Before she could say anything Dr. Briefs continued.

"And you are also not completely human. You are the daughter of a royal Sayian queen and a scientist, my son. I am in truth your grandfather. I know I should have told you, but the king of the Sayians, Vegeta's father, asked me to keep the secret until you and Vegeta were ready to understand. You are a very rare breed of Sayian. Even if you father was human, you have no human DNA, you are completely Sayian DNA-wise, except you do not have a tail. I have found that the gene responsible for the tail in Sayians was buried deep somewhere when you were conceived, you might someday get a tail. But you also have other genes, which normal Sayians do not. I don't know what they do yet, but they are the reason for your blue colouring. You are special. You are in actual fact a princess." Dr. Briefs looked at the beautiful girl before him.

Bulma looked calmly at her father and then at Vegeta.

"When did you find out about this?" She asked calmly.

"This morning, that's why I was late. Show her the video doctor." Vegeta stated.

The doctor nodded and in silence, they all walked to the conference room. Bulma watched the video of King Vegeta and everyone else watched her. When the video finished the silence stretched for a few seconds, then Bulma turned to the man that raised her.

"I am angry and I do comprehend, but please understand that if anyone ever lies to me about something this important ever again I will seriously lose it." Bulma said coolly.

Vegeta smirked and crossed his arms over his chest. Bulma walked to him and put her arms around his neck. Vegeta raised an eyebrow and waited for her to say what she wanted to.

"Seeing as I am the future queen, my dear prince, does that mean I can kiss you whenever I want?" Bulma said smiling seductively at him. Vegeta was flustered for mere seconds before he answered.

"You may be future queen, Woman, but I am the future king and that means I am in control and I decide when, but we can always spar and bet on it." Vegeta grinned and put his hands on her hips.

Nappa's jaw almost ended up on the floor, Vegeta had never accepted physical contact from anyone and he refused to touch anyone outside of a fight, yet he looked completely at ease with Bulma's touch and strange words. Dr. Briefs only smiled. He had never seen Bulma so teasing before and it was rare for someone to match her wit and sharp tongue. The couple just kept whispering to one another, forgetting that they were not alone, when Vegeta felt a sudden Ki spike from the arena where the others were fighting. He froze and turned his head in that direction.

"I need to know what's going on there. And if they need our help." Vegeta said, his mind working a mile a minute to try to think of a plan.

"We can watch the fight from here. Capsule Corp. has cameras everywhere to watch out for trouble." Bulma stated and moved to her grandfather's computer and quickly typed in a few strings of code. Out of nowhere, a screen appeared that displayed the fight. The Z-Fighters had the upper hand with Juu and Chi Chi beating Jeice and Burter. Krillen was taking on Guldo and Piccolo was fighting Recoome, with Goku engaging Ginyu in the sky. Guldo fell, unconscious and Krillen went to join his girlfriend and Chi Chi to watch Piccolo and Goku. Piccolo soon finished off Recoome and flew over to join the others. Goku was slowly over powering Ginyu, but Vegeta saw that Ginyu was going to try to use his power to body swap and Kakarot wasn't going to see it coming. Vegeta grabbed his phone out of his pocket and called Piccolo.

"Tell Kakarot to watch his back, Ginyu has a special power to body swap. If they swap he will know Kakarot is a Sayian and Frieza will destroy the planet." Vegeta stated, put the phone down and watched Piccolo nod on the screen. Piccolo told the others and Chi Chi used her mental connection with Goku to warn him. Luckily, they were just in time, because mere seconds later Ginyu used his power and Goku was fast enough to evade. When Ginyu used his power, he left himself open for attack and Goku could overpower him and send him flying, winning the fight and their bet.

Ginyu was furious, but he knew he would get himself and his team killed if he didn't keep his word, for he knew the others were all holding back and showing mercy.

"You may have won this battle Z Fighters, but come the tournament you will meet your end. We will keep our promise and stay off earth until then. See you in 8 months." Ginyu said. He then called the rest of the force and they flew off to their ship.

Vegeta just waited for them to be out of sight before he and Bulma flew off to join their friends.

When they arrive, Chi Chi was checking everyone's wounds and cleaned those in need of cleansing.

"Keep you Ki levels low, till their gone and we need to arrange a schedule for training for the tournament." Vegeta spoke as soon as his feet hit the ground.

"It will be easier to work with the smaller team, but Woman, you should tell them everything now so no one is confused as to why we are doing this." Vegeta was leaning against a nearby wall with Bulma next to him and the others standing in a circle around them.

"Vegeta, Yamcha isn't here and he also needs to know what's going on, he is our 8th team mate." Bulma stood closer to Vegeta, leaning into his side. She was still struggling to work through everything in her head and she needed his touch to ground her so she didn't lose her mind.

"The weakling is almost here. I sent him a text to meet us here as soon as possible and I can feel his Ki signature approaching, Woman." Vegeta rolled his eyes, but put his arm around her waist, silently supporting her.

The rest of the team noticed the ease with which Vegeta was touching Bulma and that Bulma was leaning on Vegeta with a tired look on her face and they knew whatever happened in the past few hours was taking its toll on her. The idly talked about training times while waiting for Yamcha to arrive. The agreed to train together at least 1 hour each weekday and 3 hours over weekends.

When Yamcha arrived, he saw Vegeta holding Bulma and the jealousy almost reared its ugly head, but Yamcha knew she chose Vegeta and he would not stand in her way. He landed next to them and Bulma lifted her head off Vegeta's shoulder and gave him a weak smile.

"Okay, since everyone is here I will start." Vegeta pulled Bulma in closer and she put her arms around his body leaning deeper into him, no one missed the quick look he sent her way, concern evident in his dark eyes.

"The rumors you heard at the beginning of the year were true, a prince was coming to your school and that was me. My full title is Crown Prince Vegeta of the Sayian Race. Frieza destroyed my planet, but my father had enough time to send me away. Kakarot and a small convoy of Sayians were also able to escape. Kakarot was sent here and the convoy is somewhere nearby, waiting for me to reach The Legendary." Vegeta turned to Goku.

"The Convoy is being led by your father Kakarot and I assume he has your brothers and mother with him, I am not sure though so do not get your hopes up about your family."

"I have brothers?" Goku's voice was filled with wonder and Chi Chi took his hand with a smile on her face. She was happy that Goku finally had a family.

Vegeta looked at Bulma and she knew it was her turn to speak. She took a deep breath and pulled away from Vegeta before standing next to him, only holding his hand. Everyone saw the struggle on her face and stayed silent to give her time to tell them what was going on.

"I am not human, well not completely. I am what Vegeta would call a Halfling. Half-Human and Half-Sayian. My parents are actually my grandparents and my mother was a Sayian queen. My father was a human scientist, Dr. Brief's son, and they died when Vegetasei was destroyed. That is why I am stronger than most. This is a lot for me to take in and that is not even the scariest part. There is also a prophecy about Vegeta and me. It states that he will become the Legendary, but I am the key to him achieving this. The prophecy also sees me as the future queen to Vegeta's status as future king of the Sayian race, so we are basically betrothed as well." Bulma stopped for a beat and everyone gasped. To be betrothed by a thousand-year-old prophecy was big.

"So what now? How are you the key?" Chi Chi looked at Bulma with concern, knowing she was battling with all this new knowledge.

"We don't know yet, but we've decide the best course of action is to train as hard as possible and hope we can unlock his power as soon as possible." Bulma said leaning into Vegeta again. Vegeta put his arm around her waist with his hand on her hip.

They talked some more about the prophecy and training, but everyone could see Bulma needed some time alone and the decide to meet up again the next day 1 hour before school to finalize everything and they all flew is their different directions, Vegeta taking Bulma home. When they landed she almost passed out on her balcony, but Vegeta caught her and carried her to bed. Vegeta laid her down, noticing the pillow he slept on when he slept over laying on her bed. When he stood up straight to leave, she grabbed his wrist and pulled him down next to her. Vegeta sighed, took off both their team jackets and drew her into his chest allowing her to sleep curled up against him, his mind also still reeling with all the new information. Soon he too was drifting off into the first peaceful sleep he had in years.

Vegeta woke spooning Bulma, holding her as close as Sayianly possible. One of his legs was wedged between hers and his arms were coiled around her waist with his face buried in her neck. Her arms were on top of his as if she feared he would disappear if she wasn't holding him. Vegeta could feel she was still asleep and pulled her even closer and inhaled her scent deeply, the strawberry smell calming down his crazy thoughts that he might lose her just as he got her.

"I don't know how, why or when, but I fell for you, Woman. After this battle I will claim you as mine." Vegeta whispered hoping she was still asleep, but also wishing she heard him.

"All you have to do is ask Vegeta and I can be yours from now on." Bulma turned to him looking deep into his onyx eyes. It seems his wish came true.

"Well then Woman, will you be mine?'' Vegeta asked with a grin on his face looking down at her.

"Yes Vegeta. I will be yours as long as you're mine." She leaned towards him for a kiss. Vegeta kissed her then pulled her onto her back as he hovered above her, supporting himself on his forearms.

Vegeta bit her bottom lip and invaded her mouth with his tongue when she gasped. The kiss was passionate and hot and it was like they were hungry for one another. Soon they both needed to come up for air, but Vegeta just moved his mouth to her neck. Licking and sucking to his heart's content, he remembers how much he wanted to do this the first day he met her and the feeling of having her under his control was way better than he could ever dream.

Bulma ran her fingers through his hair and marveled again at how soft it was. Bulma could hardly stop the moans from escaping her kiss-bruised lips and when Vegeta bit down slightly on her neck, she whimpered and pulled him even closer. She could feel him smirking against her neck and she wanted to kiss that smirk off his face, so she pulled his lips back to hers and basically attacked his mouth.

Vegeta quickly retook the dominance and kissed her deeply. Bulma moved her hands under his black t-shirt and up to land between his shoulder blades, relishing his hot skin under her cool fingertips. Vegeta drew back onto his knees and pulled his shirt over his head. Bulma stared at his chest once again wondering where he got all his scars. She raised her hands and slid them over his upper body.

"Like what you see, Woman?" Vegeta grinned down at her secretly loving the feel of her skin against his.

"Hell yeah." Bulma's eyes were glazed over and she licked her lips. Vegeta abruptly got up and off the bed and hauling Bulma with him. He kissed her again, his hands going straight for her ass, massaging it and pulling her closer. Her arms went around his shoulders and she started rocking her body into his and rubbing against the growing appendage in his tight jeans.

Vegeta took off her shirt only breaking contact with her lips for a second, throwing the offending piece of clothing over his shoulder and pulling her as close to him once again.

Things escalated from there and hours later, a naked Bulma was drawing imaginary patterns on Vegeta's chest as the lay under her sheets.

"So this bite mark on my neck symbolizes that I am now you mate?" Bulma asked looking at Vegeta's relaxed face, a small smirk on his lips.

"Yes. It also means we are bonded now and the only way to break the bond now is for one of us to die. As the bond becomes stronger, we will also have a stronger connection. You know that Kakarot and his Banshee are mated right?"

"What? Since when?" Bulma sat up, holding the sheet to her chest. Vegeta opened his eyes and grinned at her again with a raised eyebrow.

"I know you already saw everything, but we both know you get easily distracted." Bulma frowned at him, waiting for him to answer her questions.

"Okay, if I am sensing it correctly they have been bonded for about 7 months, which is why the can communicate telepathically. When their bond gets stronger Kakarot will be able to find her anywhere based on her scent alone and the will be able to share memories and emotions. Our bond is barely 3 hours old, but I am already getting some of your emotions and your scent has been buried in my mind for months. Also I only get distracted when you purposefully try to distract me." Vegeta closed his eyes again and tugged Bulma back onto his chest.

"Okay, I think that's when the first had sex. I'll grill her about it tomorrow. So when will we be able to talk telepathically?" Bulma ran her hand over his chest again, tracing his scars one by one.

"I don't know Woman. Each mated pair is different, but I don't think it will take long." Vegeta loved her hands on him. It felt like with every scar she touched, she healed it to some extent. He still felt the electric surge every time she ran her fingers over his body, but it was beyond pleasurable.

"So my Prince, what are you hungry for? We can order in or we could go ask my mom what's for dinner." Bulma said this with her lips in his neck, licking where she had marked him. It had been instinct at the time and she didn't think she would break his tough skin, but when she bit him he growled in pleasure and returned the favor. According to him, the female needed to initiate the ritual for bonding.

"I have one hunger that needs to be sated before I can even think of food." Vegeta proceeded to push a giggling Bulma onto her back before going at it again.
