Whispers in the Dark

After they had gotten something to eat, the gang returned to the hospital. Bulma sat next to her father for hours in complete silence. Tien left for work an hour after breakfast. 17 and 18 sat in silence. Chi Chi left an hour ago to get some sleep. Krillin left to take care of old perverted grandfather (a/n: guess who?). Yamcha stayed with Bulma. He stayed in the corner opposite of the two androids. He fell asleep as soon as body hit the chair.

17 and 18 kept a watchful eye on their charge. She was supposed to be on bed rest and recuperating after collapsing at the board meeting. But she hasn't been able to. 17 and 18 looked at each other and nodded their heads. It was time to take charge and knock some sense into the blue-haired beauty.

"Bulma," 18 called.

Bulma turned her head to her female body guard.

"What's up?' Bulma asked rather sleepily.

18 sighed. Bulma was killing herself. Didn't she see what she was doing to herself?

"Let's go home," 17 suggested.

Bulma frowned. She did not know if she should go home. She blamed herself for her father's condition. If she wasn't so obsessed with that guy and that temple, her father wouldn't be in this situation right now. Why should she get a good night's sleep when her father is still in a coma? Bulma shook her head no. She didn't deserve anything right now.

"Bulma you are going home and getting a good night's sleep," 18 responded in a harsh voice.

Bulma's stubbornness astounded the female android. She never met anyone as stubborn and pig-headed as Bulma.

"Bulma what would your father say if he saw you now?" 17 appealed to Bulma's voice of reason. Bulma stood there for a second. She knew her father would freak out and make sure she got her strength up so they could invent something amazing together. Bulma smiled. She loved when she worked with her father.

"Alright let's go home," Bulma replied.

17 and 18 smiled. 'Mission accomplished,' they both thought.

When Bulma got home, she treaded up the stairs. She didn't know she was that tired. She turned to her two body guards who were heading to her living room.

"Goodnight and thanks for knocking some sense into me," Bulma thanked.

The two androids nodded their heads. Bulma smiled and headed for her room. The two androids continued their path to the living room.

When the tow androids sat down on the couch, 18 turned to her brother.

"Alright 17, what's going on?" 18 asked as she got down to the seriousness.

She did not like being kept out of the loop of things. 17 stood up and peered out of a window. He knew he should be honest with his sister, but even he didn't know what was going on and that frustrated him to no ends.

"Last night I felt a presence," 17 began, "Something even more powerful than Piccolo."

18 gasped. Did 17 know what he was saying?

"Could it have been the Saiyan Prince?" 18 asked in a whisper.

17 turned to his sister. 18's head was downcast and he could not see her eyes.

"It wasn't him, but a presence similar to his," 17 answered.

18 looked up. She had a confused expression on her face. 17 sat down next to his sister. She could feel the frustration radiating from him.

"What is it 17?' she asked.

17 took a deep breath.

"It wasn't Bulma that I felt the presence surround," 17 explained.

"Then who?" 18 responded.

"It was Chi Chi," 17 replied.

Bulma closed her eyes as soon as her head hit the pillow. She fell asleep as soon her eyes shut. She was that tired. Bulma's dream were the same as the one's she has had ever since she visited that temple. The same long, dark corridor. Then the light would appear and lead her into the exact same place. But this time it was different. When she walked into the blinding light, she didn't find herself in the tomb of the temple, it was a place she had never been before.

~Bulma's dream~

Bulma slowly opened her eyes. The blinding light was gone. She glanced around. Where was she? The sky was blood red, and there were deserts surrounding her. Was she on another planet? "Where am I?" Bulma asked out loud.

"You are on my home planet," was the answer from an alluring voice.

Bulma's eyes widened. She knew that voice. She turned around and came face to face with the Saiyan Prince. He took a step closer to the blue-haired woman. He was so close that Bulma could feel his hot breath. Her breath hitched. Why did he have such an effect on her.

"Your home planet?" Bulma repeated.

Vegeta smirked. He could tell she was all flustered.

"Does that mean you are from another planet?" Bulma asked slowly.

Vegeta chuckled. This woman was quite amusing.

"I am the Prince of all the Saiyans," Vegeta stated rather proudly.

Bulma looked at him strangely. What are Saiyans.

As though Vegeta could read her thoughts, he replied, "The Saiyans are a powerful warrior race. The strongest race to ever exist. This is our home planet- Vegeta-sei. As you can see, my home planet is very different from yours."

Bulma had to agree. But still, this planet was still beautiful.

"Who are you? Why are haunting me?" Bulma asked.

Vegeta looked at the blue-haired beauty with an unreadable expression.

"Do you remember when we first met?" he asked in his gruff voice.

Bulma seemed to contemplate this for a minute. She did felt like she has known this man for a while. Then she remembered the dream she had a few nights back. She was a child when she first met him.

"I remember," Bulma mumbled.

Vegeta grabbed Bulma's shoulders lightly. She looked back up into his onyx orbs. Her knees felt weak from his intense gaze. Oh how she longed to fall into his eyes.

"You know me just as I know you little one," Vegeta stated. B

ulma could feel his hot breath on her ear. He whispered something to her in a language she did not understand. He cupped her chin. He slowly leaned in and brought his lips to hers. Bulma has never been kissed like now before. It was filled with such passion, desire, and need. It was then she knew that she needed him like he needed her.

"Until we meet again little one," Vegeta spoke after he slowly broke the kiss.

Bulma felt everything go black.
