Bulma gasped. Was this really happening?! She was being kissed...by the prince?? This had to be some kind of dream...or nightmare.

But she parted her lips, nevertheless, allowing him in to kiss her long and passionately. She had never kissed or been kissed before, and she had always dreamed of having the opportunity; always knowing how good it would feel but never this good.

Bulma get a grip! What the hell are you doing?! You know he's just using you...just like he would use any other girl.

She backed away and broke the kiss, looking at him confused.

"Fuck," Vegeta cursed. What had he done?! He'd been unable to control himself and that was going to cost him. And how dare she break the kiss. No kiss was ever broken by anyone except for him.

"What the hell was that?" Bulma asked, not in anger, but curiously.

"Nothing. You asked me why I had kept you alive...there's your answer. I wanted to get one good make out session out of you," Vegeta said as he grabbed her and pushed her into the cell, slamming the gate closed and locking it.

He waited for her to say something smart or something in her defense. She remained silent, avoiding his stare.

He realized he'd hurt her. She'd probably never been kissed before and when she does she finds out she was used. That of course, had been a lame excuse of his. He knew damn well that that kiss came well out of his impulses. She finally looked at him and there was hurt in her eyes.

"You can leave now," she said quietly.

"Your food will be brought in shortly, and it would be in your best interests to behave," he said a bit gently. when he received no response, he turned and left, scolding himself for making the mistake he'd just done.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Hey, 'Geta, whats wrong with you?" Kakarot asked as he lay on the cold steel floor exhausted next to his friend. They'd just spent four hours training and were ready to pass out.

"I'm fucking tired, Kakarot, that's what's wrong," Vegeta muttered.

"Yeah, sure. I know there's something else," Kakarot said closing his eyes, "how was Isa?"

Vegeta grunted, "She's...submissive, like every bitch should be. But you never told me anything about her being an easy fuck."

"What? Isa?! No way! She's not like that," Kakarot said as he sat up in disbelief.

"Maybe you dont know her like that. But she was dying to get into the room with me and have sex, I can tell you that," Vegeta said with a smirk.

"Damn, had no idea she was like that. I'll tell you the truth...she and I had something going on for a while. I guess you can say she was my girlfriend. But she never..."

"Then what the hell did you do? Talk!" Vegeta asked laughing.

"Well, it wasnt for that long. But my parents liked her a lot. My dad used to like showing her around the Elite system and my mom loved sparring with her. But then I decided I wasnt really attracted to her and I told her we should be friends," Kakarot said.

"I bet she was pissed," Vegeta said.

"Yeah, actually that was the only time I saw her angry. She was always happy and stuff. But that day, I thought she'd kill me. But, women are weird. You can never understand them."

Vegeta said nothing, suddenly thinking about the...encounter he'd had with the blue-haired maid. For some reason, the whole thing bothered him. A lot.

"Ok, are you gonna tell me what the hell is wrong with you?" Kakarot asked, knowign somethin was up with the prince.

"I'm going for a cold bath and some food, Kakarot," Vegeta said as he stood up.

"Wanna go out and get something to eat at Tien's uncle's place?" Kakarot suggested.

"Who the hell is Tien?"

"He's one of the elite fighters! We just trained with him!"

Vegeta snorted, "Whatever. It better be good food."

"I'll meet you at the gate," Kakarot said as he exited the training room.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Well! If it isnt the two biggest fighting freaks around!" the owner of the dining house called out with a hearty laugh as Kakarot and Vegeta entered.

"Hey Tino!" Kakarot greeted, "is Tien around?"

"Yeah, he's right over there with his new chick," Tino said as he pointed to a tall handsome young man with a blonde girl next to him.

"Another one?" Kakarot asked as he raised his eyebrows.

"Nah. Not just another one. This is the one." Tino said with a smirk.

"What's her name?" Kakarot asked, taking a glass of beer.

"Launch. Nice girl she is."

"Not a sayajin, right?" Kakarot asked.

"Nope. She works for the queen and the palace's kitchen, her and her friend."

Kakarot nodded. Tino turned to Vegeta, who stood there pissed. "Kakarot, I am starving, now's not the time to chat."

"Oh, dont worry, my prince. I promise, you will have a very delicious royal dinner. With an earth taste, of course," Tino said with a grin, "go on and sit down. I'll have it brought to you."

"Thanks Tino," Kakarot said as he put down the empty glass and made his way to the table.

"Goku!" Tien greeted as he saw Kakarot.

"Hey Tien!" Kakarot greeted back.

"Prince Vegeta," Tien acknowledged him with a smile. Vegeta nodded and sat down.

"Goku?" Vegeta asked Kakarot with a raised eyebrow.

Kakarot shrugged, "Hey, it's what the humans call me. Dont ask me why."

Vegeta shook his head.

"Where were you Chichi?" the girl, Launch, asked as her dark-haired friend came back and sat down.

"I was outside saying good-bye to Laurie. Poor thing's getting married off tomorrow," Chichi said. She noticed a few more people had joined them, "well, I see we've got company?"

"Yeah. Girls, this is my good friend Goku and the prince, Vegeta. Top fighters," Tien said as he introduced them.

Both girls gasped. 'Oh my gosh, we'd heard so much about both of you! It's a pleasure," Chichi said as she extended her hand to shake each of theirs. Something the Sayajuns found strange.

Goku blushed, "Pleasure's mine." Vegeta remained silent, only nodding his head politely. He was pissed as it was and the food was taking forever.

Vegeta just looked amused as Kakarot struck up conversation with the Chichi girl. She was cute. But the way Kakarot was looking at her didnt look like he just wanted a good time. He looked at her like he'd just seen the freaking...love of his life. The problem was...1. she was a maid, and 2. she was human.

Finally, the food arrived and Vegeta didnt hesitate in wolfing it down unceremoniously, as well as Goku. They both looked up and saw everyone at the table looking at them.

"You sayajins have an eating habit I will never understand," Chichi said almost in awe. Goku grinned.

"Kakarot, I'm leaving," Vegeta said as he got up.

"Why so early?" Tien asked.

"I'm exhausted, been training all day. See you later," Vegeta said as he nodded goodbye and turned to leave.

"Bye!" everyone said as he left.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Here's some food and water," a guard said as he slid the plate through the iron gate where Bulma was.

"Thank you," Bulma said without lookign at it.

"Listen, it's been almost three days and you've eaten nothing. You wont survive much like that. Us humans are not very strong if it isnt obvious," the young guard said, a bit concerned.

Bulma looked up. It was one of the few times she actually spoke to a fellow human, and she felt relieved that she had someone that sympathized with her.

"How long have you been here?" she asked as she took her plate and decided to make an effort and eat the food.

"I came here when I was very young. About seven, I'd say. It's been almost ten years," the young guard said.

"Oh, well, I see you're a soldier. Its not very common to see a human soldier here. You must be very strong."

The soldier smiled, "Yeah, I guess thats a benefit. I'm an elite soldier, but I'm guarding here as a punishment."

"What did you do?"

The soldier looked away, "I...turned down an offer made to me by the general, Nappa."

"What kind of offer?"

The soldier looked at her, "You like to talk a lot and ask questions. I can see why the king has ordered to have you executed."

Bulma stared ta the guard in horror, "What?! Why?"

"I dont know. Thats what he said."

"Please, please. Have mercy and let me go!" Bulma begged.

"I- cant do that," the young soldier said uncertainly.

"I beg of you, you're one of us too! Please."

The young soldier stared at the blue-haired girl. He remembered her from the time she was a child. Yes, at her birthday party. The day he and a couple more had been taken to this planet. He had to admit, she'd grown to be a beautiful girl. Unfortunately, she was to die. At his hands.

And he knew he wouldnt be able to do it.

"Fine, but you keep your mouth shut about it," the guard said as he looked around and opened the gate with his iron key.

"Thank you! Oh, gods! Thank you so much!" Bulma thanked over and over.

"Yes, shhshh! Alright, just keep going that way, there are no guards there. There's a big window at the far end. Escape through there." the soldier ordered.

"Ok. What will happen to you?" she asked worried. She knew he was risking a lot.

"Well, I'm not in charge of you. I'm supposed to bring you your food and...execute you. The big tall man, Boras, is supposed to look out for you and look at him, he's drunk and passed out," he said as he pointed to the large soldier lying in a corner.

Bulma gasped, "So, he'll be the one to blame?"

"Dont worry about that, just go," the young man prompted her.

"How will I ever pay you for this? I'll never forget your kindness," Bulma said as she hugged him quickly, causing the soldier to let out a shocked gasp.

"You shouldnt do that. Just go," he said as he quickly pushed her away, looking around.

Bulma smiled, "I was being grateful," she said as she started running, she stopped and looked back at him, "what is your name?"

"Yamcha."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
