Chapter 6B: In Time

4 months.

4 long months.

Vegeta stood in the GR throwing punches and kicks left and right, sweat sliding down his face and covering his exposed chest.

4 months without a word from Bulma. Her damn parents weren't telling him anything about where she was or if they've even heard from her. Not even when he'd been preparing to throw a ki-blast directly at the professor and his annoying, bubbly wife.

He'd searched for her. He'd circled the entire world, twice, searching for her ki. But he found nothing. His first thoughts of what he was going to do to her when he found her was make her pay. He'd thought of every dirty, nasty thing he'd do to make her realize her mistake and never think about leaving again. He couldn't understand why he gave a damn about her being gone. He should be rejoicing! He didn't have to put up with her rude attitude and the disrespectful ways she treated him. He was royalty and should be treated like so. But still, he wanted her with him.

Vegeta narrowed his eyes hard at the thought of his being weak for wanting her back and his movements grew quicker, furiously punching and kicking.

He could have anyone he damn-well pleased! Who gave a damn about an annoying, arrogant, self-centered, loud, mouthy, prideful, brilliant, beautiful- Vegeta shook his head. She wasn't good enough to lick his boots, Vegeta haughtily thought.

But he knew better.

She was the only one perfect enough for him, and she could lick anywhere on him she damn well pleased, Vegeta added as an after thought.

She matched every insult he directed at her with a snappy, heated comeback of her own. Her pride and arrogance only seemed to fuel his desire for her. She matched a saiyan woman in every way but strength, she was far more beautiful and would've made a fine catch on Vegetasei. He would've been the one to over power her in a fight and win the rights to mate with her, no doubt. To have finalized a mating ritual with The Hunt and make her his queen and raise an heir to his thrown... Vegeta couldn't help smiling inside at the thought.

For 4 months he searched for her. Once he realized she probably figured a way to hide her ki from him, he started searching on foot instead of the sky. He relied on his other senses to help find her. It didn't do much since he wouldn't have the first idea where to even search on foot.

Vegeta had thought hard about something the woman said, a favorite place or something. Hmm.... what's that place she goes to everytime she needs a new dress for a party or something called?

He couldn't figure it out so when Bulma's mother passed by, he'd immediately asked her.

"Annoying woman!" Vegeta barked.

stopped in her tracks and turned to see Vegeta behind her.

"Yes honey?" she bubbly replied.

"Don't call me 'honey'. Whats that damned place Bulma buys her clothes?" Vegeta angrily asked, his patience already wearing thin.

"The mall?"

The mall!

"Why Vegeta, whatever do you need to go to the mall for? Oh, did you run out of undies? I'll go buy you some. Boxers or briefs? You look like a briefs kinda guy. Hehe, 'briefs'... oh my..." she giggled at her horrible pun while Vegeta's cheeks turned a dark shade of red, both of embarassment from Bulma's mother talking of his undergarments and from irritation at her boldness.

"NO! you horribly annoying woman. Now leave me alone!"

Vegeta turned away from and walked out the door.

She's got to go to the mall some time. I'll just go there everyday until I find her. She's not getting away from me...
