Chapter 5: Hunting.
Kakarotto had a hard time keeping up with Vegeta as the Prince of Saiyans ran from the meeting room to his ship and chambers within. It was the only time he ever had trouble with the Prince. He may be temporally off duty but he still didn't want the Prince to do something stupid. King Vegeta told him to keep a close eye. Hell the Prince's therapist even insisted to Kakarotto to be vigilant on earth since earthlings were very emotional people and could tick the Prince off that easily.
Surely he wouldn't kill her? She is going to be marrying Prince Yamcha after all.
"Ve! Stop!" Kakarotto shouted after the angry prince.
"THAT SCIENTIST IS IN MY FUCKING SHIP! MY FUCKING GR ROOM! WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I STOP!" Vegeta roared at his friend.
Kakarotto eye's widen and sped up more. The Prince would only curse once if he annoyed or stunned, but more than once? Someone was going to die a very painful death. The Saiyans that were in the corridors, that had been curiously exploring the castle heard him and dived out of the way. When someone was going to die by the Prince's hand, it usually involved those too along his way.
"I think she's trying to be nice" Kakarot said.
Vegeta didn't respond he was too intent to get to that Blue haired arrogant woman and get her out of his ship. That was his domain, his sanctuary and she was THERE. Once inside the ship and at the Gravity Room, even with Kakarotto's protests, Vegeta blasted the door apart, ready to kill the woman!
"Hello Prince Vegeta" Bulma said nonchalantly after briefly looking at him before going back to work, wrench in one hand and spanner in the other.
He didn't hear her. He was staring at her attire. She was wearing a small white dirty tank top, dirty denim overalls hanging loosely to one side showing of her curvy hip, tan working boots and a dark blue cap covering her hair as she worked. As she worked, she seemed to be going at beat of her chewing a piece of gum. It was a total meltdown in his brain.
"Prince Vegeta?"
"…"
"Prince Vegeta?"
"…"
"Ve?"
"…"
"Veggie?"
"WHAT?" the Prince growled, shaking out of his daze.
"You're…ahem…drooling" Kakarotto said discreetly.
Prince Vegeta quickly wiped his mouth, slightly embarrassed by that. Thank Kami the woman didn't see and Kakarot had a brain of…well he wasn't quite sure on that part.
"What are you guys talking about?" Bulma said, wiping her oily hands down her overalls.
The Prince had to quickly think why he was here. Oh right, SHE was here!
"WOMAN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MY GRAVITY ROOM!"
Bulma raised an eyebrow at him in annoyance.
"What do you think I'm doing you dumbass? I'm fixing what you broke" Bulma said.
"If I wanted the thing fixed I would I have asked my scientist" Vegeta growled, ignoring the insult.
"You did, and your scientist didn't know which wire went where. They're not mechanical scientists like this beautiful genius is" Bulma said smugly.
"I can't really see you being one" Vegeta said.
"My dad told me that beauty isn't everything" Bulma chirped.
"In your case it is, you may need a double dose from where I'm standing" Vegeta said with an annoying smirk.
Bulma fumed and matched up to him. Kakarotto paid no attention to that, he was busying sniffing something out.
"Look you arrogant prick, I was just fixing the damn thing for you so you could feel more at home." Bulma said.
"No you weren't" Vegeta said.
"Oh really? I just fixed it for you" Bulma said, and pointed to the machine which was buzzing away happily.
"Not that, the 'more at home' part" Vegeta said.
Bulma rolled her eyes at him.
"I was fixing! Not snooping to see what you've got on the ship. Half the things on the ship I've invented and the other half I still know it works." Bulma said.
"Oh Lady Bulma, you can act all innocent all you like but I can guarantee you that won't work on me" Vegeta said quietly.
"I don't know what you're talking about" Bulma said.
Vegeta looked at her sharply and carefully, checking for any façade behind her eye. He smirked.
"Whatever you say Lady Bulma" Vegeta said.
He walked around her and went to the control panels of the gravity room, checking it over himself. He really didn't like it when some stranger was touching his things, but that's just a saiyan nature for you. He heard her growling behind him at his distrust before collecting her tools, placing them into her toolbox, banging it shut, stomping towards the exit and if there had been a door she would have slammed it.
He smirked. That woman may be a pain in the ass but he silently admitted to himself she did it with style and from the look of the panel it was working better than before. He brushed his fingers against the panel and inhaled her scent. Pain in the ass but smelt great. He turned to see Kakarotto chewing on muffin with a huge smirk on his face.
"What?" Vegeta said, with a raised eyebrow.
"You like her." Kakarotto stated, after finishing his muffin.
"Oh really." Vegeta said, crossing his arms defiantly.
"Yep." Kakarotto said.
"Prove it." Vegeta smirked.
"You called her woman." Kakarotto said.
"So?" Vegeta said.
"You only call females that if you like them." Kakarotto said.
Vegeta narrowed his eyes at him before blasting a Ki shot at him and misses. Kakarotto's after-image still looked smug at him. Vegeta growled and headed into the gravity room ready to fight Kakarotto at top ki.
Chichi was running at a speed that bullets would look slow. Through the forest, over the mountains and then finally across the vast ocean, causing a dust cloud and now a huge waves from her lightning quick feet. Before skidding across the water and changed direction when she spots what she is looking for. Chichi jumped and landed onto a large rock before springing off it to another and another until finally landing softly on safe ground.
"Hmm, five minutes earlier than I expected. Always seem to defy fate, don't you Chichi" a voice said.
"I never seem to do anything better than that" Chichi smirked.
"And that sharp tongue of yours is going to get you into trouble as well" the voice drawled too.
A small old lady floating on a spear appeared before Chichi. She looked annoyed at the girl but then smiled lightly.
"I always knew you'd come back" the old lady said.
"Baba, you see the future" Chichi said.
"But that changes constantly" Baba said.
"If that's true then destiny has no meaning" Chichi said.
"Circumstances changes, destiny doesn't" Baba said.
"Whatever" Chichi said.
"What are you here for Chichi?" Baba asked.
"If you can see the future Baba, I'm sure you'd know by now" Chichi said.
The old crone rolled her eyes at the Amazon.
"Like mother like daughter. Pain in the butt" Baba said. "I see the future dear, not the question."
"Okay. My aunt wishes me to train harder to defeat a worthy warrior, I need to find such a place. Would you know a place and a worthy master that can teach me new techniques?" Chichi asked.
"Hmmm" Baba said, thinking hard. "I'm not quite sure there is a place on earth for you to be taught or train in. At your age you are already at your peek, you train even more and I'm afraid you may do more damage than good to your body."
"My body isn't what I wish to evolve. What I wish to train in is my ki power" Chichi said "I know it can be developed more."
"Spiritually then" Baba said.
"Yep" Chichi said.
"Hmm, I'm not quite sure if there is a place for you but I'll see what I can do. Come back later in the week" Baba said.
"Thank you" Chichi said.
"How is everything between the Prince and Bulma?" Baba asked, attentively like she was prying for information she knew already.
Chichi stops and looks directly into Baba's eyes.
"Baba, you have a crystal ball, you know the answer to that one" Chichi said.
"Okay, maybe I do but how do you feel about it?" Baba said.
"I believe if she hadn't listen to you she wouldn't have learnt anything" Chichi said.
"You never will trust anyone with the real answer will you" Baba said.
"Trust belongs to those who peaceful methods" Chichi said.
"You are a hypocrite" Baba said.
"Bulma and I didn't want to pay Ƶ10,000,000,000 zeni just for one look in that crystal ball of yours" Chichi said, trying to control the snarl in her voice.
"They were my best warriors you know" Baba said.
"You obviously lost out on better then" Chichi said cheekily.
There was a loud crack and Chichi felt a sharp pain in her tongue. Gritting her teeth to show no pain, she knew Baba had deliberately lashed out on her with magic. She was glad that she hadn't cut her tongue in the process. Besides that was a tickle compared to the pain she had in the past. Baba was in her right to hit her, even though Chichi could evaporate the hag with one ki blast, she didn't.
"That wasn't very nice" Chichi said after flexing her tongue in her mouth to wriggle out the throbbing.
"You upset me" Baba said.
"For a lady over 500 years old I thought you'd learned the whole 'sticks and stones' inside and out" Chichi said.
"You are only old if you act old" Baba said.
"Young at heart. Great. Thanks for the info Baba, I gotta go" Chichi said and turns to leave.
"You never asked me who you were destined for" Baba said.
The Amazonian Princess stopped and turns back at the hag. She raised her eyebrows in disbelief.
"I'm an Amazon Princess, Baba, I am destined to live a warrior's life" Chichi said.
"But you're still a woman" Baba pointed out.
"Yeah I am" Chichi said and left.
A couple of days later Kakarot was looking for something to eat in the forest. As much as he liked to eat something from the kitchen his natural instincts wanted something that would put up a fight. Lady Bulma said that large beasts roamed further away behind the mountains. It may not be training but he really wished for something leaner. His fight with the Amazon had stirred up something in his subconscious that was telling him to hunt.
He stopped when he heard a sound further away. Increasing in noise, it sounded like something was coming his way. Something with two legs, by the sound of it was huge and it was increasing it's speed. Kakarot stood his ground as trees began to shake and fall in the distance.
ROOOOOOOOOOOAAARRRRRRRRRRRR
"Huh, big guy" Kakarot said.
Then there was a familiar ki signature appeared and increased slightly before whatever was coming towards him stopped dead. He then saw a huge lizard parting away the trees as it fell forward. Crashing into the ground. Dead.
Kakarot looked at the T-Rex before looked at huntress.
"So, you kill giant lizards" Kakarot said.
"Hey, big family I gotta feed" Chichi smirked, wearing only light tracking garments this time around.
Kakarotto frown, he was a little upset by that. Of course she was beautiful enough to have any man she wanted and with her strength pretty much without struggle, that is if they tried to resist her charms.
"You already have children" Kakarotto said.
"No" Chichi said, rolling her eyes. "My family is my tribe."
"Oh, so you hunt for your tribe" Kakarotto brightened instantly.
"Yep, I'm doing my shift today" Chichi said.
"You think that's going to be enough?" Kakarotto said gesturing to the T-Rex.
"Yeah why?" Chichi said.
"That animal would just about keep me full for the day." Kakarot said.
Chichi looked down at the T-Rex beneath her feet before staring at him.
"Just one T-Rex would feed you for the day" Chichi said.
"Yeah" Kakarot said, figuring out slowly that Amazon and Saiyans probably didn't have the same stomachs.
"But that's…impossible! I-I'm mean where would it go?" Chichi said dumbfounded.
"Fast metabolism" Kakarot said with a shrug.
"Super fast" Chichi said and shaking her head.
Chichi thought for a moment trying to make sense of it. If she cut the T-Rex in thirds, like it was breakfast, lunch and dinner, it still would make his stomach explode. She concluded it was a weird saiyan thing and she might have to visit Bulma about that.
"So what are you doing here?" Chichi asked.
"Hunting" Kakarotto said.
"Ah well I gotta go" Chichi said, jumping off the T-Rex, grabs it tail when she landed and began to drag it to the mountains without much effort. "Happy hunting"
"Um Chichi" Kakarotto called.
"Yeah?" Chichi said, stopping to look at him.
"Would you like to hunt with me" Kakarotto said.
"I don't know, finding this little critter was a little bit hard" Chichi said.
"I'm finding that hard to believe" Kakarotto said, eyeing the dead lizard that was like fifteen times bigger than her.
Chichi rolled her eyes at him "They know me pretty well enough to know that if I wanted to I can take them down pretty quick and so if they know I'm in area they hide. They maybe big but they happen to be excellent at camouflaging themselves"
"Was it worth it?" Kakarotto asked.
"Definitely" Chichi chirped.
"Would you hunt with me for another one?" Kakarotto asked.
Chichi thought for a moment. It might be difficult to hunt another T-Rex now that they know she was around and he did have a huge appetite.
"Sure, I'll be back in an hour" Chichi said.
BOOM!
Kakarotto and Chichi watched the dinosaur fall down dead. They were both tired, not from the kill but from all the tracking till sunset. Chichi had to go further to find another large T-Rex, it wasn't as big as the one she caught before but it had been worth tracking it.
"Man, that critter was sneaky" Chichi said out loud.
He rubbed rub his back where it managed to smack him with it's tail. It wasn't his fault he got a little distracted when he pouted that it wasn't big like the other one. Shrugging it off he watched Chichi cooked it with a ki blast, before she ripped off both it's small arms and took bite. Chewing it thoughtfully it wasn't that bad but it needed a little bit of salt.
"Hey Kakarotto, dig in…" Chichi stopped when she saw half the dino was already gone. "…Oh that's just freakishly impossible."
"Whaf? Ith tasph goof" Kakarotto said, with a mouthful of meat.
"Slow down or you're gonna get some indigestion" Chichi said.
Kakarot swallowed and looked annoyed at her "Why? I never have been before"
"But…oh never mind. I'll just get some fire wood. It's getting a little cold" Chichi said, feeling a little queasy from his eating habits.
When she returned she found the dinosaur completely eaten by Kakarotto. He patted his stomach happily.
"Gonna have to get used to that huh" Chichi said.
She placed the wood nearby and set it alight before she sat down next to it.
"Why? It's just food" Kakarotto said, sitting next to her, leaning back on his hands.
"Don't Saiyans have dinning manners?" Chichi asked
"Don't really use them on a hungry stomach" Kakarotto said.
"I think you don't bother" Chichi said.
"It's quicker to eat" Kakarotto said.
"But you were with a lady" Chichi said.
"Doesn't make much of a difference" Kakarotto said.
"O never mind" Chichi sighed.
Kakarotto yawned stretching his arms and cringed.
"What?" Chichi asked concerned.
"Its tail hit my back when I wasn't watching it" Kakarotto said.
"Let me have a look" Chichi said.
"Nah I'll be fine" Kakarotto said.
Chichi gave him a look before grabbing him and twisting him gently around before lifting his shirt up to show his back.
"Hey!" Kakarotto protested.
"You've got a long bruise across your back" Chichi said.
"Well I knew that" Kakarotto said, rolling his eyes.
"It'll heal" Chichi said, running her hand across the bruise gently.
Chichi was almost transfixed by his back. It was muscular and powerful with tiny scars over it. Lifting a finger she gently began to trace one across his back. It looked like he had recently been in war. She mentally slapped herself, of course he had, thats why he was here.
"Your fight with Frieza's empire must have really dangerous" she said quietly.
Kakarotto didn't say anything; he was too concentrated on her gentle touch. She had warm hands that were delicate against his skin. Her touches were so soothing that he looked over his shoulder to see how engrossed she was. She was so close to him that she was now breathing down his back. Her warm breath seemed to be enticing his skin coming to life. Sensing his gaze she looked up at him and swallowed. She was swimming in dark pools of warm, intense, curious eyes. Two words is what she could described the situation at hand: oh shit.
Sorry, I would have updated sooner but a friend of mine had been in a car accident. Like all my friends I love her very much and so I kinda went nuts and left the house to get to her. She's alright but as soon as she mention the words 'car crash' it freaks you out cause there these crazy boy car drivers that race near her area. Anyway….
Yari – There you go hun hoped you enjoy the B/V! I know it may have not been much but that is a foundation starting there.
Ruth Aose – Bulma can too smart for her own good but I can't exactly tell you what's going to happen, since that'll ruin the plot for you and also I have several alternative plots in case I have too many people guessing what I'm going to pull out of the hat. What? I prefer to be a mystery hence 'mysterious-vixen'.
Wynora – Thank you! I'm always worried if I haven't written out the way people could actually visualize it the way I see it. But, wanna know my secret? Tai chi, works every time. I just hope its going to work with the 'fight'. (Thinks for moment) Then again maybe not.
Kinoha – Thanks! Chemistry is pretty much essential to a developing relationship and I'm glad you like it so far. And the fight? Well I'm just hoping for an 'explosion'. Get it? Chemistry? Explosion? Ah never mind I'm too tired to get the right puns out.
Jadedrache – Thank you (blushes).
Gir3000 – well here's your update hun and I hoped you enjoyed the chapter.
Gigglez1992 – Glad you love it hun! I like to put a mix in the story to try to give it a better edge and get people addicted to it. (looks around quickly and pulls out a bat just in-case). Yeah I wouldn't like to be around when vegeta is having bad day or anything worse than that. I'll try complete the story hun, just hope you like the chapter.
Okay I think I've been focussing a bit too much on Chichi, so for a couple of chaps I'll try to give more variation. If that don't happen well I can't help but being a Chichi fan.
So please review!
