Chapter 3: An Old Enemy Is Stranded

A Few Minutes away from Earth

:Prince Vegeta, you would arrive on Earth in 3 minutes and 34 seconds from now. Prepare yourself:
"Humph! That stupid computer doesn't even know that I'm already prepared from the beginning."

Capsule Corp

It was just another boring day like always. There was love, happiness and a fiancée but still, no excitement, nothing. Just one of the boring days you will get.

Bulma sighed.

Everyone is at the Capsule Corp. having fun. Bulma, Bunny, Dr. Briefs, Goku, Chichi, Gohan, Master Roshi, Tien, Yamcha and Piccolo (yeah Piccolo's a friend of Goku now).

"Hey babe, have you seen me yesterday training to be your handsome bodyguard?" Yamcha said in his macho tone. "Yeah that's enough of your macho attitude, Yamcha. You don't need to prove that you love me. I know that you like to protect me." Bulma gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Chichi stared at the young lovers in awe, "How sweet! Bulma, when do you get married? I mean, you've been his fiancée for almost a year."

Bulma looked at her ring that Yamcha gave her on their date in the park when he proposed to her. "I think about 5 months from now."

Yamcha blushed, "Oh I love you Bulma. I promise that we'll be the most romantic couple ever."

"Well, you have forgotten about me and Goku." Chichi joked around and everybody laughed with her, except Piccolo.

"Oh silly you!" Yamcha and Bulma kissed each other.

BOOM!

They were interrupted by a loud noise. A thing that looks like a space ship and it really was, came to Bulma's backyard and crushed the ground into a very deep hole. Dusts and smokes all over the place, revealing a white round spaceship. 'What the heck is that?'
Bulma and Chichi yelled their lungs out. Bunny looked terrified as well as the others.
They've waited for the alien to come out of the space ship, but then again, nobody got out of the space ship.
Goku, who wanted to be the brave one, walked to the direction of that hole that the space ship crushed and before he wanted to look at the round window of the ship, a man with dark hair and dark eyes, with a tail and very muscular stepped out and noticed Goku.

"Vegeta…" Goku looked with anger and hate to the Saiyan Prince and glared hard at him. Goku was seeing that the young Prince has got his brown tail back swinging side to side.

"H...He... He's going to transform into a big ape like before!" Master Roshi yelled.

Bulma heard what Master Roshi said. "Oh my God, what will he try to do with us, now? Is he out for revenge?"

Vegeta heard what the woman said and looked at her as if she was familiar to him, 'Yes. That's the girl that Frieza wanted. I remember her looks, not a doubt.'

When Bulma's and Vegeta's eyes met, Goku questioned himself about what Vegeta is doing here.
After Vegeta examined Bulma's face, he finally spoke, "You! I came here to capture you! I don't care about the other weaklings."

Goku heard Vegeta's every word by word and opened his mouth to speak, but Vegeta was too fast for Goku to notice and grabbed Bulma by her waist and left off somewhere else of the planet ((A/N: He could not grab Bulma and take her to the ship because the ship is very slow if the pod is warming up for blast-off.))

"Oh no, Bulma's gone. I'll make that monkey pay!" Yamcha growled with fear and a slight bit of confidence.

"I couldn't… I couldn't keep up with him! We need to go after them!" Goku said with extremely worried face.

Bulma tried to get loose, but couldn't as the mighty prince demanded her to be quiet. "L...Let...Let me go, you bastard---"

"---Look here, you idiot, do you think that I love to kidnap you and hold you to the end of the journey? I don't have any choice, woman."

"Leave me alone you monster. And I do have a name, you know!" Bulma yelled. She has got spirit. She is very brave to even yell at the mighty Saiyan.

"How could I call you by your name if I don't even know it?" Vegeta teased.

Bulma blushed. "My name is Bulma."

"Hn, okay fine, woman."

"Hey I already said my name to you, my name is Bulma! B-u-l-m-a! Now, why don't you introduce yourself to me, after all, we have never met…"

Vegeta looked at her in a strange way, "Why'd you want to get to know me? I thought that I was the bastard you were calling me."

"Do you really want to be called bastard? Or do you prefer to introduce yourself properly to me, since you ARE my kidnapper, we might as well get along!"

"Humph."

"Wow, I've never met someone called Humph! Nice to meet you, Mr. Humph!" Bulma said sarcastically.

Vegeta slapped his forehead with his other arm other than he wrapped it around Bulma. He did not like if his name EVER has to be 'Humph'.

"You broke a record, dude." Bulma tried to cheer Vegeta up. Maybe he will let her go?

"Dude? Look, shut up and my name is Prince Vegeta, you already knew that, so why do you have to ask me?"

"Uh, isn't that a girl's name?" Bulma wondered and giggled.

Vegeta slapped his forehead again, 'Why does she has to be so stupid? I thought she was a genius? Well, that was Frieza who said it me. That explains that Frieza himself isn't a genius.' Vegeta laughed at the thought, but was quite embarrassed of that he works for Frieza. "Girl's name? Woman you're irritating. It's a normal man's name for Saiyans, idiot! Besides, what kind of name is Bulma? Is that a bull's name? Now, will you SHUT THE HELL UP UNTIL I'VE BROUGHT YOU TO THE IDIOT?"

'Which idiot? You? Or the 'idiot' you might serve?' Bulma did not liked his yelling. Not one bit. Feeling a bit disappointed.

Later, Vegeta saw a waterfall at the end of his eyes could see. 'Finally, now I can wash myself.' So he went faster than usual to wash his wounds that the last mission gave him. He did not even have the time to wash himself back at the Ice-Sei.

Bulma looked a bit confused, "Why are we going to the direction of a waterfall?"

"Because," Vegeta started, "I have to wash my wounds from the previous time I came here for the Dragonballs." Vegeta gagged, 'Why am I talking to this woman?'

He was right. He definitely had got cuts and wounds, but because of the spandex pants and shirt, the wounds are not in public so it was hidden. 'Well, it's not my problem; he shouldn't have attacked the Earth.'

"We're almost there woman, you keep your voice down, or else, you won't see your fortieth birthday…" Vegeta said with a smirk.

"Forty years old, huh? You jerk!" Bulma jerked her head up to meet his eyes and glared hard at him. She never saw any kind of these eyes. It looked like onyx eyes and in a way, she liked his dark, mysterious eyes, but of course, she will not admit it to her enemy. 'Goku, please come and rescue me, I'm being kidnapped by a man that I don't know much about, and what's worse, I didn't have the chance to pack up my makeup and he says that I'm almost forty! What an asshole!'

When they arrived, Vegeta landed on a rock nearby the waterfall very gently and let go of the girl, "If you try anything suspicious, I will blast you to the next dimension. And don't think I'm going easy on you because you're a girl."

"Oh great, why me? I'm kidnapped by the man I hate and Yamcha didn't even follow us and next, I'm stuck with this monster who calls himself a Prince." Bulma said once she said on a rock nearby the waterfall and looked depressed.

"Woman, you keep your voice down. And stay there!" Vegeta raised his voice, almost yelling at Bulma, with veins popping out.

Bulma continued mumbling until one thing catches her eye... his half naked body...! 'Oh my God, is that the monster I know?' She didn't know that Vegeta has got long hair until now. What a major turn on!

She continued staring at the body of a god until the 'god' was getting irritated by that stare the lady gave him, "Woman, quit staring at me!"

Bulma woke up from her daydream by that manly deep voice. "Oh I didn't look at your body, I...I just looked over at the rock because I was bored." Bulma lied.

Vegeta is standing under the waterfall, feeling a slight pain in his back because of the water's pressure that aimed on his wounds. Vegeta growled lightly, 'Why does it have to be ME? Of all people, ME? This lady is a pervert! She looks at me as if I'm someone from the Playgirl magazine! What a nerve! Can't fall in love? That Frieza is a lunatic! Why does he wants a woman 'like her'?' Vegeta dried himself off with his energy power. 'Now this is feeling good. The Earth's water is so pure. 'Unlike' the ones in Ice-Sei!'

Bulma reached out for her handbag, 'So I DO have my makeup bag in here! Now that I finally have this, there are no worries for me left. Well maybe that being kidnapped and Goku didn't come for me... I HATE you all!'

Bulma was in a deep thought and did not even notice that Vegeta finished putting his suit and armor on, "Humph, I'm finished, woman. Now we can go to the idiot I have been talking about." Vegeta smirked.

"Now hold it, Saiyan Prince. I don't even know that monster you love to work for, please don't make me suffer. Please I don't want to go." Bulma begged as if her life depended on it. Actually, her life DOES depend on Vegeta.

"Woman, I don't have a choice! Now let me do my job!" Bulma begged and begged and begged until her eyes watered.

"No, please. Please, what have I done to you that you hate me so? I BEG OF YOU! Let me go! I deserve freedom! If you really are noble, please prove it now. You of all people should know how your life ends once you become a prisoner!"

That took Vegeta's attention. "H… How do you know that?" Vegeta tried to hide his shocked expression by glaring at Bulma very dangerously.

Bulma gulped. "Well, uh, you know Vegeta? Umm…" Bulma sweat drops.

"Explain!" Vegeta's harsh voice went louder.

Bulma began to bite her fingernails, 'Oh man, with him shouting at me will not make it easier!' Bulma looked bravely, "Look and listen Vegeta! YOU are working for someone more powerful than you right? He must be very powerful to let someone like you work for him, right? So I guess you might be a prisoner if you do a dirty job, like kidnapping me, right? So, wouldn't you mind to…" Bulma sweat drops even more, "let me go and do 'clean' jobs like a true Prince?"

"…Woman, you are predictable, just like the rest of them… And don't even try to guilt talking me to act myself like a true Prince. You know nothing about me." Vegeta looked at her coldly and laughed evilly afterwards, "You think that I'm a softy like you and your idiot friends? Too bad, I won't even think about trying to save you. I've made my decision."

Vegeta said that coldly like he never said this evilly to someone else. Bulma's tears cried and watered.

Bulma missed her chance to at least see sympathy in Vegeta's eyes for a mere second. He can not be THAT cold hearted. "Why are you crying? There are people who lost everything and still did survive." Vegeta said with harsh and deepened voice as he got out a mute control of his armor and pushed the blue button. 'Survived like me…'

"So you mean that I have to be thankful for what you are doing to me? And how am I supposed to know that along our way you wouldn't abuse me like every man does to a woman?" Bulma meant literally 'sexual abuse' and Vegeta understood.

"I am a Prince. I have no intention to use you that way. Besides, I'm not interested in you." Vegeta did not look her in the eyes when he said that.

A part of Bulma is quite relieved and the other part was sad. Sad that a man did not like her the way she looks, even though she is beautiful, 'Man, even Goku who already has somebody says I'm beautiful… Is Vegeta not interested in me?'

When the space ship landed, Vegeta wanted to leave but before they left he said out loud, "Humph, alright, whatever. Humans with their stupid emotions"

Vegeta grabbed Bulma by her arms, "Hey what's the big deal? Let me go, you monster!" And Bulma felt herself thrown into his spaceship.

Yeah yeah, I have nothing to say :D
