They then left her to rest. Tomorrow would be a whole new day...
Bulma woke up the next morning feeling her whole body had been beaten to a pulp. She rubbed her eyes and then recollected all of yesterday's events. "That bastard!" She cursed as she looked at her bandaged thigh. "What kind of person injures someone and then recieves a doctor to fix them up after!" She sat up and tried to limp slowly to the bathroom using chairs and tables for support.
After her shower, she wiped herself dry. She then put down the toilet cover and sat on the toilet. She then grabbed the metal case on the shelf. It had a big red cross painted on the lid. She then began taking some medicine and gently applied it on her burn. She winced upon first touch. It stung. She was mentally muttering and cursing Vegeta the whole time. She then bandaged her leg up and went to go change into some fresh clothes. She threw on a pair on black sweatpants, and a white t-shirts again with Capsule Corp written on it. This time, she decided to leave her blue locks down. She slipped on a pair on chesnut slippers with beading and polished stones scatter across the smooth upper of these chocolate brown leather mules. "I am so hungry." She complained as she headed out the door. This time, she made sure that she'd remember where her room was situated.
Bulma walked for no more than 10 minutes when she finally came across the front foyer again. By the entrance, there was a big floor plan of the ship hung on the wall. She studied it for a second and then saw the area where she thought the food should be. It said CANTEEN, so she made her way there. As she walked through the automatic doors, her eyes landed a few familiar faces. They were her scientist friends. "Good Morning." She smiled relieved.
"Good morning, princess. Did you have a good sleep?" One of them asked.
"Let's not get into that now." She rolled her eyes.
"You're limping. What happened to you?" Yeti asked concerned.
"Oh well. It's nothing really. I.. just.. uh.. tripped in the dark room you know. I'm not use to how everything is placed." She lied. 'Why am I lying?'
She sat down at a table with her friends. One of them had already gotten her food for her. "Oh, why thank you."
They ate away happily until an announcement from the intercom interrupted their meal. "Would the scientists from Earth please report to the research room as soon as possible."
"I think that would be us." Yeti said.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go." Bulma said none too excitedly. She grabbed a blueberry muffin and lead the group.
As soon as the group arrived at the Research Room, Bulma placed her hand on the identification pad and the doors slid open granting them access. Inside, King Vegeta, Vegeta and 2 of their minions stood their already waiting for them.
"Good Morning, Princess. Have a good sleep yesterday? You seem to be disabled today." King Vegeta chuckled.
"It was just great." Bulma said sarcastically giving Vegeta a glare.
"Well, since you won't say it. I will. I heard you had quite an eventful evening yesterday." King Vegeta teased. "I am deeply sorry for my son's actions. He is a bit.. rash sometimes." His apology sounded insincere. "My son has something to say to you." Bulma looked at Vegeta with one eyebrow raised and arms crossed.
"I take back my actions." Vegeta said displeased.
"THAT is your apology!" Bulma wasn't pleased. "Well apology NOT accepted!"
"You ungrateful bitch! You should be happy I even said anything of the like!" Vegeta pointed towards Bulma.
"Well if I remembered correctly. YOU were the one that turned physcho over one blow to your ego, so then you hafta singe me to make yourself feel better, so who's the bitch now!" Bulma backtalked her voice growing louder to match Vegeta's.
"Why you little-" Vegeta began, but was shiftly cut off by his father.
"Now now, you two. Now, let's get to the point. I called you all here today because I wanted to distribute a map of the ship to all of you, so you will be able to locate where ever you wish to go. Secondly, I would like to created schedules for you guys to follow. I expect all of you to begin your work at 8:00 am every morning. You will be working until 10:30pm. You have a 1 hour break in between. I leave that to you on deciding how to spend it. Don't be late. I expect all of you to be precise and punctual. I have high expectations, so don't disappoint me. I am expecting magnificent inventions . Is that clear?" King Vegeta stated in a serious manner.
"Fair enough." Bulma agreed upon his terms.
"Good. Remember, it will take us approximately 15 days to reach Vegeta-sei, so this here is Nappa and Radditz." He pointed. "If you need anything, feel free to ask them or anyone else on this ship. Now get to work." He finished off, and headed towards the door.
As they were making their leave, Vegeta walked passed Bulma and softly threatened, "Watch yourself, woman," and left with his father. Bulma's eyes widened and turned around only to see his shadow before he disappeared.
-----------------
A few days have gone by, and everything was starting to fall into place. The construction of the Gravity Room was beginning to somewhat take shape, however, there was still a long way to go. The crew of scientists were pretty much accustomed to their new lifestyle. Bulma and Vegeta were trying to avoid each other at all costs.
Bulma stepped out of the bathroom after finishing her quick 15 minute shower. She was taking her full 1 hour break all at once. The towel was around her neck and she looked relieved of all the tension in her shoulder area. She laid down on her bed and stared up at the ceiling. 'What a productive way to spend the rest of my childhood.' She laughed out loud fakely. She then sat up and walked over to her closet. She threw on a pair of black sweatpant-material capris, and a white racer-back tank top over her sports bra. She also put on white shoes that look like ballet flats in case she lost track of time. She then curled up in her bed and began reading a book. Something she hasn't done in awhile. She read no more than 5 pages when the whole ship started to quake. It felt like there was an earth-quake.
"What the hell is going on?" Bulma panicked a little. She then scrambled to the door. As soon as she stepped out, she saw soldiers running down the hall in the same direction. "Hey! What's going on!" She grabbed Radditz's arm.
"Our ship is currently caught in a meteor shower. The navigators are trying to maneuver through is safely." Radditz explained. "Right now, we are all taking cover." He ran off with the others.
"Hey! Wait!" Bulma yelled after them, but no one replied. "Asshole!" she cursed. She then ran back in her room and grabbed the map. She looked to she where the Control Room was located. When she found it, she headed that direction. When she reached the control room, she tapped the key pad and the doors opened. As soon as she walked in, all eyes were on her. King Vegeta and Vegeta were both in there monitoring the navigator's actions.
"What are you doing here you minx?" Nappa said angerly. Both Vegeta turned around and registered her presence. Vegeta glared.
"Princess, this is not the place for people like you. Leave!" the king ordered.
"Obviously, your guy here sucks at steering this ship through this meteor shower, so unless you want your ship to end up as scrap metal, I'm taking over." Bulma stated as she walked over towards the controls despite the bumps here and there. She took over completely. Within seconds, the ride became much smoother than it was before. She accelerated the ship's speed by 2 folds, and effortlessly steered the ship through the meteor shower. Everyone was amazed by her skill.
"Whew!" Bulma wiped the sweat off her forehead. "That was close."
A sinle applaude was heard."You are more useful than we had originally bargained for. I commend you on your fine work. Not only are you able to build ingenious contraptions, you also operate foreign machinery like it's nothing." King Vegeta laughed clearly impressed. Vegeta just grunted hiding his shock of her skill as well. "So tell me, Bulma. What else can you do that we don't know of?"
"Anyone of my scientists can do what I just did." She replied
"Oh, you are so modest. Why don't you join us for dinner tonight so we all can graciously thank you for saving the ship." King Vegeta offered.
"Oh no. That's quite alright." Bulma refused politely.
"No. I insist." He gave her 'the look.'
"Yes, your majesty." She curtised and left.
"Be sure to dress formally, my dear."
That evening Bulma walked into the dining room dressed in a simple cream coloured chiffon slip dress with gold beading. There was a cream ribbon tied just under her breasts making it an empire waist. She accented the gold beads by wearing gold sandal heels. Her hair was teased slightly, and it was all tied back in a low pony-tail.
"OooOo.. You look divine my dear. Please, sit." King Vegeta smiled in a perverse way.
"Disgusting." She mutter softly under her breath. She smiled and took an empty seat.
"My dear. Why don't you come sit next to ME." King Vegeta said as he patted the empty seat next to him.
"Sure.." Bulma fakely smiled none too happy about having to sit next to the king. When she sat down on the chair, she could feel the king's eyes on her examining her every move. She simply quietly ate.
Noticing his father sudden interest in the princess, Vegeta spoke. "So father, I believe you have something to inform us on."
King Vegeta snapped back towards the elites at the table. "Oh yes. I've recieved news that Freeza could be planning to make a journey to the plant Namek."
"What's so interesting about the planet Namek?" Bulma wondered out loud.
"I was just getting to that my dear." king Vegeta touched her shoulder. "So soft.." Bulma felt uncomfortable for a second. "Well it seems that the Namek's protect a treasure that onlyin myth one would dare imagine. Legend has it that if you collect all 7 of these 'dragon balls,' it will enable you to summon a mystical dragon who will grant you 3 wishes. Anything of which you desire."
"That is preposterous!" One of the elites laughed. "I've never heard of anything so absurd!" They all began laughed. Vegeta silenced them.
"Well if Freeza believes in it, then I think we should take it into consideration." He said.
"I couldn't agree more." His father replied. "However, it is said that the planet Namek is most difficult to find. It is tucked away behind the stars of the galaxy far away from other forms of civilization. I'm pretty sure we will be able to defeat him way before he seeks out this planet Namek. But is he planning to do with these wishes.. That is the question..."
"I would say anything you plan on wishing. Something along the lines of immortality, and unlimited power." Bulma stated the obvious.
King Vegeta, who was quite shocked by her honesty, agreed with her. "You know, you are quite right. We must intervene while we still can."
Everyone at the table nodded in agreement.
After dinner was done, everyone was heading back to their rooms to retire for the evening, even Bulma when she was stopped by the king herself.
"Princess, I have a offer for you." He said. "Quite a delicious one too I might add." He licked his lips.
"And that would be...?" She asked clearly not liking where this was going.
"You become one of my 'bedmate', and you will recieve anything a woman could ever want and you'll be VERY well sexed for the rest of your life." King Vegeta smirked as he pushed her up against the wall and ran his hand up and down the side of her body.
"Sounds tempting, but I think I'll pass." She replied quickly.
"You answered quite quickly. Don't you need to think about it first?"
"No I don't." Bulma said in disgust.
"Well I meant everything I said, especially the sex part. You will experience the BEST sex you've ever had." He squeezed her butt. "Nice." He moaned.
"No thank-you." Bulma pushed him away and began walking away as quickly as possible. He quickly yanked her back by the hand and pulled her into a rough kiss.
"Nobody says no to the king. I always get what I desire." He said sternly.
"Let me go now or else you are SO going to regret this." Bulma struggled.
"I highly doubt that princess." He said as he began kissing her neck while making his way to his room.
"LET GO!" She yelled again as she felt his hands slip under her dress. She kicked and screamed but to no avail. She could feel the tears streamed down her eyes as she heard a door open.
"Father! What in the name of Vegeta-sei are you doing!" Vegeta questioned quite furious.
"I believe it's self explanatory." He replied. "Allow me to borrow your room for a few hours son." He said as he carried his cargo into Vegeta's chambers and threw her down quite roughly on the bed andattempting remove her clothing. However, he didn't get vey far, because Vegeta stopped in.
"Father, are you insane? Mating with that creature?" Vegeta rationed.
"Yes, son. I am quite sane and I personally think these creatures are alluring." He said as he touched her breasts. "Nice and firm." She smiled continuing. "Now if you'll excuse me and show yourself out."
"NO!" Bulma screamed. Vegeta then pushed his father off of her.
"What the fuck are you doing! Protecting this bitch!" King Vegeta yelled clearly shocked by his son's actions.
"Have you forgotten what we saiya-jins pride yourselves on?" Vegeta yelled back. King Vegeta knew that answer but didn't say it. "I think you know very well that would be our HONOUR. Now, father. Tell what is the honour in forcing yourself on a untouched child!" Bulma frowned at the 'child' comment, but she knew Vegeta was helping her so she shouldn't be comlaining. "Not to mention she is King Finch's daughter. You wouldn't want to do anything you might regret in the future, father.. You are clearly violating the treaty."
King Vegeta grunted. His son was right. "Leave." Bulma didn't have to be told twice when to leave. She quickly ran out the door and didn't stopped until she reached her room.
She bursted in with tears welling up in her eyes. In her mind, she was cursing King Vegeta like no tomorrow. The next time he or anyone else decides to pull a strut like that, someone's groin area WILL hurt for weeks and weeks to come.
While Bulma was busy thinking of painful ways to deal with the next person who tries to rape her, her faithful lady-in-waiting, Maria, walked in after finishing their laundry. Maria and Bulma share the room together. Maria's bed and located in a secluded area in the room in the corner.
"Princess, is everything alright with you?" A concerned Maria asked as she placed one hand on Bulma's shoulder.
Bulma turned around and gave Maria a hug. She explained the whole ordeal she was put through and how Vegeta had helped her.
"Oh, my poor dear. Don't worry. Saiya-jins have a weakness not many people are aware of." Maria assured her. "If the same situation arises in the future, you can use this technique to defend yourself."
"I was just going to kick them hard in the groin." Bulma replied.
"Yanking on their tails also produces the same result as kneeing them in the groin."
"Really!" Bulma asked surprised.
"Of course. That's why they always keep those things tightly wrapped around their waist, so no one can use it against them." Maria laughed.
"Wow. Thank-you. Well now I know what to do." Bulma smiled.
----------------------
The next day, Bulma was up bright and early. For some odd reason, she wanted to have a good head start on the day, and what a better way to do that then to start it off by working out. Bulma hoped on the treadmill and began walking gradually working her way up to running. When she was done, she grabbed her towel to wipe the sweat off her face. She then noticed another figure entering the gym. It was Vegeta.
'Wow. I guess I'm not the only one.' She thought. Bulma smiled at Vegeta. Vegeta simply acknowledged her by nodding back. Bulma then approached Vegeta and stopped right in front of him.
"Yes?" Vegeta asked sounding quite impatient since she was holding back his regular work out routine.
"I.. uh.. j-just wanted to say.. thanks! For helping me yesterday night." Bulma stuttered.
"I was not helping you. I was merely trying to prevent my room from being drenched with the smell of sex for days to come, and I really don't like other people released bile on my bed either." Vegeta stated trying to sound selfish.
"Right. For whatever reason, I still thank-you." Bulma raised her hand initializing a handshake.
Vegeta looked at her gesture with a confused look. 'What is this woman doing?' He thought. Bulma just stood there waiting for him. After a couple minutes, Vegeta also raised his hand and took her tiny one in his.
"So I guess. We'll call it a truce from now on?" Bulma smiled.
"So it seems."
