Vegeta steadily opened his heavy eyes. The room spun a little before it came into focus. He was starring up at a white florescent light. Shifting his gaze he studied the familiar room, yes he offend found himself in the intensive care room like this. He noted that his shirt was off and he was underneath a blanket, suddenly at the corner of his eye, he shifted his attention on the sleeping blue haired women next to his bed, laying on another, 'Bulma'. Vegeta smirked at the sound of her name. His childhood memories rushed back to him, he remembered the laughs and fights he had with that girl, never once bored with her presence. Even though it had been a long time since, Vegeta never forgot the girl, he didn't understand why even now, yet he felt a strong connection towards her, lying on the medical bed, however he would rather die then let anyone know. Even though Kakkarot, Krillin and Radditz had been by his side since birth, they were more just company to him, and he never felt such a bond before and it puzzled him immensely. Suddenly guilt grasped his body. He looked over at Bulma's worn out body and shuddered. He almost killed her, then couldn't help her, then watched helplessly as the bastard lizard beat her an inch from her life. Vegeta couldn't help thinking that he should have done more, since that, he kind of owed her. However now he was put in charge of her care or suffers the consequences. He didn't know how to feel about the arrangement. It was true that he did want to ensure her safety if she were to live aboard, and he only trusted himself and the other Saiyans, aside from Radditz to do so, however, he did not need a weakling women to distract him constantly, and take a blow for every time they got themselves hurt. He growled at the thought, if the crazy blued haired wench had the guts to spit in the lizard's face, then what the hell would she do to the others? She would be dead in a matter of days. Vegeta replayed the spitting scene in his mind, it was priceless, and the look on Frieza's face was to die for, the women defiantly had a temper, she was one crazy bitch, and this excited him a little. A moan interrupted his thoughts as he turned around to see her bright blue eyes, flutter open.

"Oh Kamiiii, my head!" Bulma wearily sat up and clutched her head.

"It feels like a skyscraper has fallen on me,"

"Try 10 skyscrapers" Bulma instantly turned around to face the Prince, lying comfortably on his back staring at the ceiling. Bulma smiled, 'arrogant ass.'

"Well then I must be of hell of a woman then huh? Hehe hey…" Vegeta nodded curtly,

"How do you feel apart from the skyscrapers?" he asked, not trace of concern noticeable. Bulma stretched, however regretted it when the bruises on her back screamed back in agony, she winched, tears forming in her eyes.

"Been better, you?"

"No mere beating can defeat me" he smirked proudly. Bulma huffed at his haughtiness, again making her react with pain. Vegeta frowned at her display.

"What the hell were you thinking? Spitting in his face like that! I am truly surprised you're actually alive" he scolded her. Bulma was confusingly hurt by Vegeta's disapproval and she shot back at him in defense.

"Hey! I wasn't about to let that bastard think he can toy with me and have me cower at his whim! And besides, that was before I knew the offer" Bulma sighed, the offer, what had she gotten herself into? Vegeta smirked and chuckled at her comment.

"Always the feisty one, hey Onna?" Vegeta smirked, referring back to Bulma's encounter with Radditz and Nappa. Bulma grinned at the memory too.

"What can I say? You don't want to be caught up in my fury, they had it coming!" the pair laughed a little, secretly enjoying each others company again. However when they stopped Bulma's thoughts changed immediately.

"Vegeta…what I am I going to do?" Vegeta turned his head to find himself lost in her captivating turquoise eyes; he saw horror, fear, sadness and emptiness. All he could do was answer truthfully.

"Survive." Bulma nodded, contemplating his answer as if it was the best advice anyone had given her.

"Come on follow me" Vegeta got up and pulled on a shirt next to his bed. Bulma stared awestruck by the muscular back that was right in front of her face, and then blushed wildly as the owner turned to face her; suddenly she realized they were missing someone.

"Wait! Vegeta where's Chi Chi?!" terror imprinted itself clearly on the women's beautiful face.

"Were going to find out," the Sayian no Ouji started to stride out the door, with a curious Earth woman close behind. Outside, Vegeta surveyed his surroundings. Suddenly he picked up a weak ki amongst three familiar ones, Vegeta grunted in acknowledgement.

"Onna, your friend is presently with Kakkarot, Krillin and Radditz in our quarters, we should go there immediately." Bulma nodded in agreement with a huge smile on her face.

"Onna, you look absolutely ridiculous," Vegeta said bluntly as they continued down the hall, secretly testing if he could still get a rise out of her. Bulma stopped and scowled at Vegeta, then punched him hard in the arm, knowing this would be more of a tap to him.

"It's called smiling baka, I suggest you try it once in awhile, that's IF your pride will let you!" in a triumphant victory, Bulma did a mesmerizing flick of the hair, gave Vegeta an arrogant smirk, one that could rival his own, and took the lead, having no idea where she was going. Vegeta was stunned, 'That was hot!' he continued to stare at the retreating vixen before he could get a grip on himself 'SNAP OUT OF IT BAKA!' Vegeta mentally kicked his ass before catching up to Bulma.

"Ok fine Ms. High and Mighty, if you're such a genius, then which way do we need to go?" Vegeta retorted back angrily, when the two came to an intersection in the hallways. Bulma shot a deathly glare at Vegeta for trying to make a fool out of her and looked around to collect her bearings. In pure honesty, she had no idea where they were or where they needed to go, but she would have rather died then letting Vegeta know it. She spun around and was about to make a witty comeback when the two were rudely interrupted by a fat pink ugly alien.

"Why hello Vegeta, and hello, hello, what do we have here?"

"What the hell do you want Dodoria?" Vegeta spat, not liking the way the fat blob was inspecting the woman.

"Monkey! Courtesy please, we are in the presence of a woman." Dodoria bent down, picked up Bulma's hand and kissed it, almost making Bulma gag.

"My name is Dodoria, and what is your name?"

"Bulma Briefs" Bulma said hesitantly, not liking the fat ass touching her one bit.

"Ah, the scientist! Tell me Bulma, what is a fine young woman like yourself doing with a lower class primate? You see to me that is just a horrible waste! I see you with someone that doesn't eat his own flees from off his back for breakfast, someone more of a man, someone like me," at this point in time Dodoria was behind Bulma, whispering into her ear, he moved his hand to her waist and she suddenly felt his big fat pudgy fingers gliding up her stomach, underneath the shirt. Bulma gasped and was about to turn around and hit the offender, however Vegeta already beat her to it, throwing him into the walls.

"Stay the fuck away from her Dodoria!" Vegeta hissed, the pink alien picked himself up and dusted himself off as if the blow was nothing.

"Or what? Answer to you?" he sneered back in return.

"TO HELL YOU ARE" Vegeta screamed and lowered himself into a fight stance. Dodoria looked hard at Vegeta, and then at Bulma, shaking his head dismissively.

"I haven't got time for your foolish games ape!" he said turning around and left. Vegeta stood up quickly and yanked Bulma's wrist pulling her along with him.

"You see that Woman? Every fucking solider on this ship wants one thing and one thing only! They are all horny bastards and will stop at nothing to get laid. So you have to constantly be on full alert, I can't always be there to save your ass, however you will not roam the halls unattended, understood?" Vegeta rattled on about the men on the ship until he was interrupted by Bulma going,

"psst Vegeta, Vegeta…VEGETA!"

"WHAT ONNA?"

"…I was gonna go this way! He he!" Bulma giggled at her comment, Vegeta looked at her angrily for a minute, then rolled his eyes and smirked.

"Yeah sure, whatever Onna," and dragged her down the corridor.
