Part 3 Vegeta's Nightmares

That night Bulma couldn't sleep. Vegeta had stayed for two days in her house. He continued his cold and rough attitude toward everyone, except teachers and her parents. Vegeta also spent most of his time practicing basketball in her family sport hall. That guy was an extreme basketball lover, she concluded in the end.

However, she couldn't manage to act as if there was nothing between Vegeta and her. She didn't know what had happened between them. There was something about him that made her cannot breath.

Bulma watched her ceiling when Vegeta's face flashed again that night. Come on Bulma, forget about him. If the robot is ready, you can go wherever you want… Why I should care about him? Vegeta can do whatever he wants because it has nothing to do with me. Still thinking about his kiss? Ughh, that idiot must pay!

Then Bulma heard a very terrible voice. Something happened toward Vegeta, she knew that. The voice had come from his room. Bulma dressed and rushed to his room. Bulma tried to open the door and she found that Vegeta unlocked it. She entered his room.

Vegeta was still asleep, but he continued whispering in horrible voices. Bulma had heard these kinds of voices before. They were similar with howl of throbbing animal or hysterical sobbing in her videos. His body was wet with sweats. His face was pale. Bulma tried to wake him up to stop his pain.

"Hey…. Vegeta? Are you okay? Answer me you bastard!"

"Hmm?"

Vegeta opened his eyes abruptly and he hurried to his bathroom. He vomited several times. After a while he walked toward his bed. He was very infuriated finding Bulma still stayed in his room.

"Get out you bitch…. You had nothing to do in here," he ordered Bulma in deep aching voice.

"What happened to you? You made me worry you know…. Screaming like that…"

"It was just a fucking nightmare! Now please get out will you? I'm not in my mood."

"It didn't come out as 'just fucking nightmare' to me. Come on, I'm here and I would like to help you, Vegeta," Bulma whispered to him.

"You like to experience danger, huh?"

"Just answer me. I'll help you."

"Fine, help me with this…"

Unexpectedly, Vegeta carried her and dropped her into his bed. Bulma could sense his shivered body. She let Vegeta wrapped his body to her.

"Vegeta…." Oh, my… He might be troubled by something…

"You smell like sweet candy," Vegeta held her tight, "a girl like you, come into a guy's room like me at night… Don't you afraid of what I could do to you?"

"I believe that you really need me for another reason."

Vegeta smiled, "just because I had saved you it didn't mean that I don't want do what they had desired before to a girl like you, you moron." Vegeta reminded Bulma about the attack in chapter 1. "Now leave me or I will need you for my other reason."

"A girl like me? A girl like…. What? Answer me Vegeta…."

This time Vegeta's fingers traced Bulma's body with passion. His hands held her arm and he rolled slightly from her back to her top. "An attractive, seducing hot girl…"

He traced her face with his finger, "with creamy eyes and sweet smell. Darn, I would love eating you alive…."

With a sudden movement Vegeta grabbed her body rudely and just hurled her out of his room. This time he locked the door. Vegeta breathed heavily to control himself. That girl… she was so damn crazy. Did she hear what I've done? Shit… How come those dreams suddenly appear again? Father, mother, Bardock… I'm so sorry… I'm sorry…

Vegeta finally slept once more. It was unfortunately for him because he had dreamed one of his regular nightmares.

He was in the car with his father, mother, and Bardock, his driver. He had planned to have a trip with them to visit a new opening garden in Satan city. Halfway the road, Vegeta wanted to pee and he did it in under the big tree nearby. He heard a big blow from the car. Everyone was bleeding and he wanted to save them. He actually almost saved them, but he ran away instead. He killed them…

Vegeta woke up and panicked. He really terrified. He sobbed in aching voice. He couldn't manage himself to endure the pain. All these years he had accused himself for his cowardice at that time. He was a coward, he told himself, especially toward anything related to Mr. Cola and his son Frieza. Those painful years under their control…

He remembered those horrible commands just like it happened yesterday.

"Darn you monkey! Hit him hard or I'll hit you harder!"

"Remember what I did toward your parents, son? Be nice or I'll kill you… "

"What have you done, monkey? Don't look at me with those rebellious eyes!"

"Your fucking basketball ability is nonsense compare to mine. Look at me Dad!"

"Finished him son! He is a dead corpse!"

Vegeta reached his old basket ball. It was the last present from his parents. It was his only savior when he had those terrible feelings. Vegeta pressed it strongly into his arms.

In the other hand, Bulma gasped for her courage. However, she couldn't stop thinking about Vegeta. He had something and she wanted to know it.

That afternoon Goku came toward Bulma's class with his fiancée Chichi in the break time. Bulma class was in the second floor in the school building whilst his class in the first floor. Bulma was his senior. He told Vegeta about basketball test for regular team which is held in the next two days. Goku tried to persuade Vegeta to join the team.

"So, I would be happy if you can make for the team, Vegeta. We can play together again."

"It doesn't make sense. Why should I join your team anyway?"

"Don't worry Vegeta. Only best players can make for the team," Bulma interrupted.

"Well, I'm the best player here, yet I don't want to play with bunch of morons," Vegeta then continued his reading.

"Does he always act like sore thumb?" Chichi asked. Her cute little face was irritated.

"Yes he does," Bulma answered curtly. "Hey Goku, what kind of lunch was that? It is filled with red sauce all the way?"

Goku showed his lunch box , "Chichi made this for me. It tastes wonderful, Bulma. Gosh, if only I could marry her after our graduation…"

Chichi's face blushed and she tried to hide her smile, "its fine Goku… I'll tell Daddy…"

"You want to marry her so she could cook for you all the time, am I right Goku?" All of the sudden Yamucha showed himself. He looked leaner than before. His skin darkened a bit.

"Wahoo… Yamucha? Where have you been? Bulma wondered anywhere to find you," Goku tried to invert Chichi's attention so she wouldn't be mad. Chichi would angry if she finds out that Yamucha's right!

"You spent some time at beach, right Yamucha?"

"I'm so sorry dear… I got to leave because my friend needed my help."

"You can call me, what does cell phone stand for?"

"Come on… Don't be angry. I'm here right? What about taking a walk this evening?"

"Fine, this evening you have to go out with me," Bulma grinned.

"Ops, sorry… I forgot! I have a date… I mean detention this evening. What about tomorrow?"

Vegeta didn't know why on earth he had to hear that silly conversation. He watched Yamucha carefully. He didn't find any charm in that guy. Fucking bad taste, Bulma. He's just ordinary playboy.

Yamucha panicked when Bulma accused him having another girl behind her back. He did actually. But they were just for his fancy not his love. He looked around and found Vegeta tried to focus with his book. It was clear that he was reading 'prince charming and how to rule the world' book.

Bulma felt sick reading the title.

"Hey, who is he? I don't recognize him! Is he a new classmate?" Yamucha pointed at Vegeta. Vegeta showed his lack of intention by walking off toward the door.

"He is a bit cocky you know? Won't you mind telling me who the hell is he Bulma?"

"Vegeta, he's our new classmate. You better leave him alone, Yamucha. He's so annoying."

"Hey Yamucha, captain Piccolo had been looking for you. We also had to join the regular test 2 days again," Goku spoke in his full mouth, "be careful, you could be kicked out if you don't train well."

"No need to worry about it Goku… I spent these times training in the beach. Listen, I met Ichigo Kurosaki and his hotties also, we played basketball sometime…"

"His hotties? You're too much for a boyfriend! That's enough!"

"Oh come on Bulma, I didn't dig them… I just played with them," Yamucha tried to deny Bulma's rage, "You're always be the one in my heart… I love you, dear."

Bulma looked pleased and stopped her anger, "Fine then… After detention you come to my house. YOU HAD TO COME AND EXPLAINED EVERYTHING."

Yamucha pleaded because it was too late at night, "Dr. Brief would be angry if I come above his allowed curfew, darling…"

"I don't care. Come or I'll kick you out of my life," Bulma didn't accept any reasons and Yamucha finally gave up. He knew she always got what she wanted in her life. She was stubborn and all yet she was very sweet. He loved her anyways.

At the middle of the night Bulma had waited for Yamucha in her room. He hadn't come yet. Moreover, the screaming started again. Vegeta's sobbing voice was heard from her room. Bulma knew none would hear his voice except her since they had been placed in the same third floor.

Bulma knocked Vegeta's room. She still heard those voices. She tried to open his door, but it wouldn't work. Fine, let me show you a trick!

Bulma took one of her hair accessories in her room and tried again to open Vegeta's door with her spine. The door was opened.

That's good job, am I smart?

Bulma watched Vegeta had awakened. He tried to reach his basket ball but he failed. He almost fell beside his bed and Bulma caught him. Vegeta couldn't control himself and embraced her tightly. He really needed her.

"Just a few second," Vegeta whispered in Bulma's ear with his hoarse voice, "I want to be stronger. I can't stay like this… it's such a burden."

"That's fine… Just try to be relaxed," Bulma tried to comfort him. His body still shivered and she couldn't care less. Bulma closed her eyes, absorbing his scent.

Vegeta held her tighten and she sighed. Vegeta felt so soothe having her under his arms. The sweet smell felt like bliss for him.

Out of the blue, Vegeta sensed someone was watching him. Yamucha was watching them from the half opened door.
