Hey! Ok so this is technically the last chapter but I've decided to do an epilogue after this. I didn't really know how to end the chapter so I kinda came up with something funny (at least I think so 0.o) but it still doesn't quite do it for, as I'm sure you will all agree so hold tight for the epilogue and then after that it is for sure finished!
Mmmk go on and read :)
PS: Thank you so much to the people who have reviewed since I came back! It means so much to me I hope you realize. Its such a good feeling to know people like your fic and want you to continue even after you have been gone for so long. Thank you again!
"So, how do I look?" Bulma asked and gave her artificially blonde friend a twirl.
Bulma had went out earlier that morning to buy some clothes since her previous wardrobe was now a pile of ash. Instead she decided to buy an outfit for the day and would worry about the rest of her new wardrobe later.
"You look stylish, B. As always." Juu said with a roll of her eyes, "Would it kill you to do a job where you weren't dressed to perfection?"
Bulma snorted and flicked her shiny blue hair over her shoulder. She was wearing black tight pants with black knee high boots that had small silver buckles on the sides. Her utility belt (haha Batman XD) and holster sat comfortably at her waist and she wore a black quarter sleeved top with a low V-neck.
"Pft, please. I'm the last thing he's going to see, I my as well give him something good to look at." Bulma said with a devilish grin.
"You are hopelessly modest Bulma. Really, it's too much." Juu said monotonously.
"C'mon, let's get this over with. I have a new life to start." Said Bulma as she ran into the androids arms.
Juu held onto Bulma and flew them into the air and headed towards the restaurant where Vegeta's boss was supposed to be having his lunch.
They flew in silence for a while until Juu finally sighed with annoyance. Bulma looked at her questioningly, knowing that Juu had something on her mind.
"…I took him back." She finally said as if she was ashamed of her declaration.
"Took who back?" Bulma asked, still confused.
"…Krillin."
Bulma couldn't help but smile at her friend. "Oh, I see…"
"I know what you're thinking!" Juu snapped angrily.
"Really? Enlighten me, please." Bulma replied with a smirk.
"I'm not a hypocrite alright! I just…didn't know I'd end up having feelings for the cue ball…" she said and sighed, probably thinking about him right now.
"Awe!" Bulma cried and hugged her friend, "See, machines can love!"
"Cut it out! I didn't say I loved the baldy, I said I had feelings for him!" Juu snapped once more, "They're different, alright!"
"Oh yes, totally different. They're like polar opposites, really." Bulma said with a chuckle.
"Get over it, ok." Juu said in an annoyed voice, "Look we're here. Let's just kill the bastard and get out of here."
Juu slowly descended across the street from the restaurant. Once they were on the ground they walked across the street and into the hotel lobby and approached one of the hosts.
"Bulma…Are you sure this is the right place?" Juu asked as she looked around realizing where she was. Bulma had already walked away from her and approached the host.
"I'm afraid this is a private restaurant, madam. Reservations are required." The snooty waiter said as he stuck his nose high in the air.
Bulma sneered menacingly and whipped out one of her guns from its holster and pointed it directly under the man's big nose. He suddenly trembled in his shoes and gulped loudly.
"Look, I've had a really bad week so just let me through so I can find my lunch date."
Soon Bulma was inside the eating area and looked around at all the tables. Goku had said that Krillin found out that their boss had a lunch reservation by himself, so Bulma just looked for a person eating alone. There was only one.
Got you.
Bulma walked steadily and strongly towards him. She assumed Juu was not far behind, watching her back in case he tried anything.
This is it.
She came up from behind him. She walked around the table so that he would see her and once he noticed Bulma standing across the table from him he abruptly stopped eating and looked up at her. He seemed surprised at first but quickly regained his composure.
"Bulma. I see you survived the horrible attack. I'm so pleased." He said with slight sarcasm in his voice, "That course of action was meant for your husband, as I'm sure you can understand why. I was unaware that you were in the house at the time of the attack. Terribly sorry about that. You understand, don't you?"
Bulma nearly keeled over. This was not Vegeta's boss, it was hers!
"G-General Tao!" Bulma cried.
The half flesh half mechanical man stared at Bulma slightly confused.
"Why Bulma, who were you expecting?" he asked, seeming quite amused now. He could clearly tell she was dressed for an assignment of some sort.
Damn you Krillin! You gave me the wrong fucking target!
"I-uh-" Bulma stammered.
A strong sharp voice froze her tongue in place.
"Woman! What the hell are you doing?"
Bulma looked up just beyond Tao to see Vegeta stalking into the restaurant and right over to them. By then everyone else eating in the restaurant had noticed the commotion and Bulma's rather large gun in her hand hanging by her side and started to high tail it out of there.
"Vegeta!" Bulma cried with nervousness, "I was just trying to-"
"I thought we had an agreement? I was to dispose of your boss while you did the same for mine!" he stated accusingly.
"That's what I was trying to do, baka! That idiot partner of yours gave me the wrong target!" Bulma yelled in his face, forgetting that General Tao was sitting right there, but Vegeta did not.
Vegeta looked at the man sitting down and growled. Tao was beginning to look extremely nervous.
"The fool was correct in giving you the desired target." Vegeta said and looked back at Bulma, "It is that android bitch that gave me the wrong target for this man is my boss."
He crossed his arms and looked over his shoulder at Juu who glared at him, forming a small ki ball in her hand just itching to let it fly into Vegeta's face.
"No she didn't!" Bulma snapped, "She was the one that gave you the right target. This is my boss, Vegeta, not your-"
Vegeta raised an eyebrow at her sudden silence.
"Holy shit Vegeta! We have the same fucking boss!" Bulma exclaimed as she slapped her forehead.
"How do you figure?" he asked.
"Juu and I have the same boss. You and Krilin have the same boss. If Juu gave you the right target and Krillin gave me the right target, and we both ended up here then that must mean he is head of both firms! He plays them off one another so that there is some sport between his personal assassins! It's a way to keep us in line and get rid of anyone if they become a liability!" Bulma explained.
"Fuck! Why the hell did I not figure this out before?" Vegeta growled as he clenched his fist.
Little did Bulma and Vegeta realize that while they were talking General Tao had slowly slipped away unnoticed and was heading straight for the door until Juu cut him off and glared at him.
"Going somewhere?" she asked coldly.
"Out of my way android 18! I could have you terminated at any moment!" he yelled.
Goku had then appeared behind General Tao. He had come with Vegeta as well, just in case. He saw the commotion between Vegeta and Bulma and then noticed that Tao had left so he went after him as well.
"Hey I remember you!" he cried with happiness after examining him for a moment.
Tao slowly and shakily turned around to look at Goku. The gears in his head literally began to turn as he looked at the dopey Saiyan in front of him.
"G-Goku!?" he stuttered.
"Hey I didn't know you were my boss! That's so weird that you're both my boss, and Bulma's! Ha! Small world huh?" he said and laughed as he slowly walked towards Tao.
"No! Don't come anywhere near me! I-I'll leave you, and Vegeta, and Bulma, and everyone alone! I swear! I'll even leave town! We'll forget all of this even happened as long as you don't kill me!" Tao cried just before he rushed out of the building and down the street.
Goku and Juu looked at each other strangely.
"Well…ok!" Goku said with a smile.
"Did he get away!?" Bulma yelled as her and Vegeta ran over to Goku and Juu.
"Only because of you, woman." Vegeta snapped.
"It was not because of me!" Bulma yelled at him instead.
"Relax guys. He's gone. For some reason he was scared shitless of Goku and said he would forget about everything and leave town. He just booked it out of here." Juu said.
Bulma sighed with frustration and stomped her foot on the ground. Vegeta grunted and crossed his arms.
"Great." Vegeta growled.
"Way to go Goku!" Bulma turned on him. "You ruined everything! Now we can't have any fun."
"You truly are a moron Kakarott." Vegeta said and him and Bulma began to walk out of the building as well.
"Psht, let's get out of here Vegeta. Let's go and find a new house to live in, or something." she said exhaustedly.
"Only if its somewhere out of this goddamn city. I've had enough of this insanity." He replied.
Once they were outside Vegeta picked up his blue haired wife and as she said, "Damn it. I really wanted some action," they flew into the sky and slowly disappeared off into the distance.
Juu shrugged and also made her way outside to leave, having been bored herself.
"This was a complete waste of time." she said and flew off as well.
Goku remained alone inside of the restaurant and just looked outside, completely dumfounded. He chuckled slightly and scratched the back of his head and said to himself,
"Heh, what did I do?"
