Chapter 5

In the middle of the night, on the secret floor in the Capsule Corp. building is where Bulma sat in her office on the carpet near the large one way window. She had tear stained cheeks and small shooter glasses around her feet with a half empty whisky bottle sitting next to her hand. She gazed out into the night sky through the window; never had she felt quite as lost as she did now.

"Vegeta is the shooter!" Juu cried, nearly falling on the floor.

"Now, do that for the next 5 hours, and you might be where I was before he tried to kill me in my car." Bulma replied and she downed another shot of whisky.

"Bulma…" Juu said, but stopped because what was she supposed to say? She looked at her friend and the state of total wreckage that she was in and sighed sadly. "You have to kill him."

Bulma dazed off, thinking about that statement.

"Bulma, you don't love him." Juu said and crouched down next to her blue haired friend, "How many times have you come to work in the morning telling me what a jackass he is? How many times have you gotten ready to go home after work dreading to see him because he's a prick?"

Bulma finally looked into her blonde friends eyes with fear and doubt.

"That's not love B…It can't be." She said and stood up, "He's the competition and thus is the enemy. You have a deadline from the boss you know."

"I know…I just wish it was someone else…Why the fuck did it have to be him?" she said and held her head in her hands.

"You'll kill him because that's what we do and what you do best. It's your job Bulma. He was just someone you wanted to keep around so you wouldn't get lonely, and you are the same thing to him. If I had to I would kill Krillin right now no questions asked. It's the way it has to be when you're in this business, you know that."

Bulma moaned with frustration and fell on her back on the floor and looked up to the ceiling. She saw Juu come into her vision.

"Try to get some sleep tonight. We'll get to work next thing in the morning." She said and walked off, shutting off all the lights behind her, "You're going to be alright…right?"

Bulma lazily lifted her hand and waved for a reply and then she heard the door to her office shut and lock. She continued to look into the ceiling as she slowly drifted off to sleep. You don't love him…Kami you can't love him…


"You better get that door and hope to Kami whoever had the nerve to wake us up in the middle of night begs you for forgiveness because they won't get any from me!" Chichi screeched as Goku hurriedly put some pj pants on and went to go and answer the front door.

"It's alright Chichi! Go back to bed and I'll deal with whoever it is!" Goku said softly to his wife, praying that she did as he asked.

He answered the door and looked confused for a moment at who it was. "What's the matter?"

Vegeta scowled at the man before him and looked away for a moment before speaking. "I can't believe I'm doing this…" he whispered to himself and finally just got on with it. "My wife tried to kill me. I need to stay here until morning at the least."

Goku still looked confused but moved out of the door way to let him in. "Sure, you can stay here as long as you need Vegeta, but why would Bulma try to kill you? She wouldn't be even able to come close to hurting you let alone-"

"She's a trained hit man Kakarott." Vegeta said in an annoyed tone as he tossed his duffle bag on the couch in the living room. "An assassin, a killer. And guess who she's working for."

Goku scratched the back of his head for a moment before replying, "Her…dad?"

"Let me make this as blatantly clear for your moronic brain to handle Kakarott," Vegeta said nice and slowly, "Bulma is working for the competition, the enemy we are trying to get rid of, and has been behind my back probably since we first fucking met!"

"Really! That's so wild! How is that even possible? I mean, all this time she has been competing with us and trying to kill the same people we've been killing." Goku exclaimed. He seemed more fascinated then disturbed by this new information.

Vegeta looked at him angrily, having to contain his anger and temptation to punch him in the face. "Does this not register in your miniscule brain Kakarott! My wife tried to kill me twice already! She's been lying to me for our entire marriage, hiding everything from me behind my back!"

"Well technically, so have you Vegeta." Goku replied.

"Shut up!" Vegeta snapped.

"C'mon Vegeta! This isn't that bad. So Bulma is secretly doing the same thing we we're secretly doing. So what? It's actually kind of good. You two don't have to lie to each other anymore and can work together instead." Goku said with a big smile.

"No Kakarott." Vegeta said sternly, "She works for the enemy and is therefore my enemy now. I will do what I said I would do before, get rid of her and that company for good."

"But Vegeta! You're not just going to kill your wife! I mean, she's your mate!" Goku said, shocked that Vegeta would even say that about Bulma.

"Do not misunderstand Kakarott. You made the mistake of falling in love with a human and having offspring them, but I did not. Bulma meant nothing more to me then warming my bed at night. You may need those things, your harpy and your brat, but I certainly don't." and with that said the Prince of their alien race stormed into one of the spare bedrooms and didn't come out for the rest of the night.

Vegeta would have destroyed the entire house if not for Kakarott's harpy. He would rather avoid her screaming then provoke it. He stood with balled fists and was softly growling from the back of this throat. Why was she working for the blasted enemy? Why did she lie to me for all these years? Why did she try to kill me? He quickly smacked himself mentally for thinking such weak things. It had happened, what he had feared would happen when coming to this planet with Kakarott. He had grown soft, had gotten too used to their human ways. He would not be weak and most of all not show that weakness to Kakarott. He had never had a problem killing anyone else before, he had quite a track record for murdering people before he came to the planet…And it wouldn't change, not now.

She will regret lying and attempting to kill me. I will dispose of her like I was intending too…There is no excuse…

He didn't understand. Why was it that when he set his mind to killing the woman, his stomach would flip over and he instantly felt…sad. He had to get rid of her, if not because she works for the enemy but because of how he had changed Vegeta, without him even realizing it.


The next morning Bulma stepped out of her black car and looked at her large house that she had shared with her husband for 2 years. They had rushed into marriage very soon after first meeting in Cuba but neither of them saw it as a bad decision, and she hadn't regretted it, even now.

She saw her co-workers all dressed in black moving inside and outside of the house, working diligently. Bulma was also in all black, from her quarter sleeve button up shirt to her pinstripe pencil skirt down to her stilettos. She managed to keep her long thin hair half decent with her lack of a shower this morning. Making her way to her front door she slid her sunglasses off of her face and onto her head once stepping inside.

Bulma nodded to the girls who walked by her and she proceeded to her bedroom. When she got there some girls were already going through her room, tearing it apart.

"Get the hell out of my room!" Bulma snapped.

"But Mrs. Oji, we're-" one of the girls said as they stared at her.

"I'm well aware of the procedure and the task at hand today but my room is off fucking limits!" she nearly screamed and the girls quickly left.

She moaned with frustration as she picked up the broken picture frames and frowned when she saw that they were pictures of her and Vegeta. She glanced to her closet to see his clothes sprawled on the floor and some were even ripped to pieces.

She quickly moved to her personal armoire and searched for her weapons in her secret compartments, but they were missing. Torrance then walked into her room, an eyebrow raised as she watched Bulma throw all of her clothes out of her armoire.

"Bulma…?" she asked slowly.

"Torrance, did the girls already clear out my weapons from the house?" Bulma asked and looked up at her black haired friend.

"Uh, well no. They were already gone when we got here this morning." She replied.

"That son of a bitch!" Bulma cursed under breath. She was even more pissed now. "Torrance, go and get some girls to check out the garage. Whatever you find in there, destroy it immediately." She ordered as she glanced at her pillow on her bed.

Bulma then pushed by her and made her way towards the bathroom downstairs where she found Juu.

"Hey, how are you feeling this morning?" Juu asked once she noticed Bulma.

"Fan-fucking-tastic! How are you?" Bulma snapped, "I'm sorry Juu, I just don't like it when bastards steal my god damn guns."

"It's ok Bulma, they'll all be replaced." Juu replied.

"I know I know." She said and pulled out a small plastic bag and handed it to Juu, "Bring this to the lab and find out what species it is. It's a hair sample of Vegeta's."

"Why do you want me to find out what species he is?"

"Because he isn't an android and I know that for a fact. Torrance said you checked your database and found no record of it and you would know if he was an android," Bulma replied, "So, since he's not an android and is able to fly, he sure as hell isn't human and I wanna know what we're up against."

"Sure, I'll get right on it once we're done here at the house." Juu said and nodded.

"Excuse me Mrs. Oji?" said one of the girls that was searching the bathroom, "Do you have a really huge flow or something, because you sure have an awful lot of tampons under here."

The girl was crouched on the ground and looking through the cupboards underneath the sink and pulled out a box of super absorbent tampons.

Bulma nearly growled at the poor girl and screamed, "Get the fuck out of my bathroom!" and the two girls left, leaving Bulma and Juu alone in the bathroom.

"What the hell is wrong with these girls!" Bulma cried and held her head in her hands.

"Calm down Bulma. I'm sure she didn't mean anything by it." Juu said and checked under the sink, "But…you do have a shit load of tampons B. Do you always stock up like this?"

"Are you kidding me? I'm always out buying more during my period. I never have any left and I always forget to restock." Bulma said in an annoyed tone and then looked down at Juu, "I can't have that many boxes."

"Come see for yourself."

Bulma complied and crouched next to Juu and saw all of the tampons she actually had.

"…What? That's so weird…" she said and looked at android 18 confused. She then tried to think when the last time she had her period and her mouth dropped open. "Oh Kami…"


An hour later Bulma was back in the bathroom and this time she was only accompanied by a pregnancy test. She paced back a forth while waiting for the strip to be ready. She read the box and new what pregnant and non pregnant would look like once it was ready. She felt like it was hard to breath and was trying to calm down as best as she could. She didn't even know if she would be happy or sad about being pregnant, or not being pregnant.

She had always wanted to start a family and have kids, and she thought she would do it with Vegeta, but ever since she found out he's not even human and that he tried to kill her and all, that wouldn't be possible.

She became impatient and looked at the strip to find out once and for all. She stared down at the stick for a few seconds before covering her mouth with one of her hands. Her eyes started to well up with tears and she felt like her knees were going to give out.

"Bulma?" Juu asked and slowly opened the door to come inside of the washroom, "Well? Are you?"

Bulma turned to look at her friend and tried hard to stop crying. She took a deep breath and swallowed hard.

"Oh my god, you're pregnant!" Juu said, almost horrified.

Bulma laughed slightly and shook her head, "No…no I'm not pregnant Juu."

The android sighed with relief which made Bulma cringe and looked back down at the stick in her hand. She then wiped her face and chucked the test into the garbage and looked back at Juu.

"This is a good thing Bulma." Juu tried to say reassuringly.

"I know…I –I know." Bulma said and ran her hand through her hair. She sighed and then straightened out her clothes, "I'm starving! I'm going to go out and get everyone something to eat before we all head back to the office."

With that said Bulma left the bathroom in a hurry. Juu was about to go after her but she felt like something wasn't right. She walked over to the garbage and looked inside and looked at the test. She sighed and just shook her head and then ran after her.


Bulma was in her car driving to the nearest Subway when her cell started to ring. She answered it and was very shocked to hear who it was. "Hello Bulma, how are you?"

"Uh...I've been better. How are you Chichi?" she said as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Oh I'm fine dear. I just wanted to see how you were doing, I know you and Vegeta are having problems."

Bulma froze for a moment, "…Oh? Well-"

"I just wanted to let you know that Vegeta is staying here with Goku and I until things blow over with you too. I just thought I'd let you know that he's safe and doing fine. He seems to go exercising with Goku an awful lot but he's fine other wise."

Bulma smiled maliciously. "Oh that's great Chichi, thank you. By the way, you didn't notice how many clothes he brought did you?"

"Not very much actually now that you mention it."

"Well, this is one of those things where he needs to step up and since he's so stubborn and all, I'm not expecting him back at the house for a while, at least until he talks to me first. So why don't I just drop off some of his clothes. How about in an hour?"

Bulma waited a moment and smirked, "Thanks Chich, I'll see you soon."


"Stop trying to talk me out of it Kakarott. Either help me, or stay out of my way!" Vegeta snapped as he walked into the Son's house, Goku following behind him.

"If you're going to do this Vegeta, you're doing it alone. I know you'll come to your senses before it's too late anyway." Goku said confidently with a smile on his face.

Vegeta just grunted with a reply and walked into his room to change out of his sweat soaked clothes. Not a moment later Goku was covering his ears because of a loud noise coming from his room.

"BITCH!"

Goku was about to go and see what was wrong and then Vegeta stormed out instead.

"That wench destroyed all of my clothes and my good suits!" he growled.

Goku sensed his ki rising steadily and tried to calm him down before he blew up his house.

"Vegeta it's ok. At least she didn't—" Goku started but then both men stopped and heard the same thing at the same time.

Goku cried and he and Vegeta flew into his room as fast as they could. They searched through the ripped pieces of clothing and found the source of the noise. Goku quickly grabbed the bomb and threw it out the window as hard as he could. They watched in the distance a small explosion in the sky very far away.

Goku sighed and sat on the floor with relief and Vegeta just looked down at him with a scowl. "You were saying, Kakarott?"


Vegeta stood on the roof top of a building opposing Capsule Corporation. He could sense the woman's ki along with many other weakling females, including the blonde woman who was Krillin's girlfriend. He smirked at the irony and placed his cell phone to his ear.

When the woman on the other line answered he stared hard at the building in front of him and spoke harshly, "I will speak to my wife and no one else."

The woman on the other line whispered frantically to everyone around her, trying to figure out what to do. Soon he could hear Bulma's voice in the background and then she finally picked up the phone.

"Hey Veggie-head." She said happily. Vegeta mentally cringed at that name that he hated so much, "How's work this afternoon?"

"I'm only going to say this once wench, leave the continent or die." Vegeta said.

It wasn't what he was planning, not at all. He was supposed to just go to the building and blow it up, but he found himself wanting to speak with her first. He had no idea why, human emotions and feelings were still very strange to him and he was trying very hard not to succumb to them. But alas, here he was trying to negotiate with the woman. Leaving the continent is not good enough!


Bulma snarled at her husband's silly request. She laughed.

"You honestly expect me to leave my home and family just because you're threatening to kill me? You should know me better then that sweety, I don't give up without a fight." Bulma replied and smiled.

Juu then came up behind her and whispered into her ear quickly as girls were tracing the call and trying to fix in on Vegeta's location, "He's not human that's for sure, but he's of an unknown species, one that doesn't even exist on earth."

Bulma froze for a moment before regaining composure and continuing.

"So why don't you leave the planet so that I wont kill you. You've left your home and family once before, I'm sure it wouldn't phase you to do it again." She said coldly.


Vegeta growled. She knew nothing of his life before earth, his family or the torture he went through to escape his home, or what happened to it before he could call it a home. How dare she!

"You will listen to me woman! You are going to make it so that you disappear off the face of the earth or—" he paused and thought for a moment.

No! No more chances!

"To answer your earlier question woman, at work today," Vegeta said and aimed his hand at the first few floors at the top of the building, "we made a breakthrough."

He fired his ki ball and watched as part of the building blew away into nothing. Suddenly something hit him in gut and he instinctively searched for her ki and when he found it he regrettably felt relieved.

Damn it! How does she do this to me! It's like she's a witch or something! I can't let her do this to me, I can't give in and I will not resort myself to being like a weak human


"You will listen to me woman! You are going to make it so that you disappear off the face of the earth or—" and then he stopped.

Bulma raised an eyebrow confused and then just glared.

"I dare you to even try and make me leave this city!" Bulma yelled but then she was cut off instantly.

"To answer your earlier question woman, at work today…We made a breakthrough."

The entire building shook as part of their floor was exploded. Bulma and a few others fell to the ground in a heap as desks and debris fell all over them. Bulma rose onto her knees coughing as she shoved pieces of wall off of her and dusted herself off. She thanked Kami that nothing had hit her too hard and most of it was directed at her back.

"Evacuate!" someone yelled and all of the girls that were alive and able to keep up raced to their escape exit that led to the roof. Once on the roof everyone had an assigned copter to get into and fly to their back up headquarters.

Bulma helped a few girls that were around her that were trapped under debris and raced to her helicopter. Juu was already there and Torrance arrived soon after Bulma. She got into the drivers seat and got everything set up in two seconds. She started the blades as the last girl got into the helicopter and they took off.

"He's going to be able to follow us no matter what we're using to get away." Juu yelled over the noise of the blades spinning over their heads.

"He won't come after us." Bulma replied, "It's going to be the two of us that settle things, and only the two of us."

Juu looked at her worriedly and looked back at Torrance to receive the same look from her.

"I need to stop at your place and pick up a black dress." Bulma said randomly.

"Why?" Juu asked.

"Because Vegeta and I have a dinner date tonight."


Vegeta watched the helicopters leave as fast as a human made trinket would take them. He could easily destroy all of them from as far away as he was, but this was going to end between him and her, and no one else, and it was going to end tonight.
