People had stopped to look at the collision of the car with the cliffs of the nearby moutains. Bulma managed to escape with her quick launching seat, something she installed on all her vehichles not too long ago. She unbuckled her seat, taking in the view around her. She looked back, the accident was a few hundred feet away.
The rain continued to pour down on her.
She ran to a nearby cave, something she found all too welcoming. All her capsules were lost in the car, so her only way home was none. The cave was very cold, dark and quiet. Hopefully there wasn't any hungry animal. She knelt on the cold ground, her shoulders and legs shivered as the wind continued to blow against her wet body.
"Now you've done it Bulma...," she told herself as she continued to shiver unwillingly.
Bulma looked out at the pouring rain. The drops clashed against the dry dirt of the desert, mud puddles were forming all around. No use going out, all she would get was hypothermia and a cold. The road was too far to run or walk, everything else was just desert and moutains. She closed her eyes, and tried to remain calm. All was futile, the cold was biting at her with it's icy wrath. It slowly began to numb her fingers. Oh kami, how am I getting out of this one.. She wrapped her arms around her legs, and began to rock back in forth, as if seeking some warmth in this movement. Her eyes remained closed, even her eyelids were feeling numb.
She suddenly heard a noise from within the cave. She froze. Her head began to turn in all directions, trying to see if she could spot who the noise belonged to. Suddenly she heard a low growling sound. She was past the shrieking point, if there was a creator who made that big of a sound, there was no way she was going to keep it company.
"Gahh!" she yelled and ran outside the cave, caring less if it was still pouring as ever.
Her head shot up in the air, she saw him! It was a streak of golden light streaming through the sky. It must be Vegeta, Goku or Gohan considering it only appears when someone is super saiyan. She squinted, trying to see who it was, but only got droplets hitting her face.
"Hey! HEY!!!!" She yelled as she waved her arms running after him," Gohan! Goku! Vegeta! WAIT! Please! Whoever you are! Please! Please! Please.." her voice died in her throat.
The cold was unbearable, and with now her whole body wet, she was having trouble getting oxygen into her lungs. It felt as she was going to freeze as she stopped and collapsed on the floor. Her knees were sinking into the moist dirt. She sat shivering, she couldn't move, nor stand again. She desperately tried to breathe, but the water would not stop soaking into her clothes, her chest felt cold and numb.
"You are pathetic you know that woman," a low husky voice said.
Bulma's eyes brightened up with hope, he had seen her afterall. She lifted her head, and surely it was him, he had come to her rescue, or so she thought.
"Vegeta.." her voice died again to a soft whisper.
"What are you doing here?" he asked standing infront of her.
Bulma tried to swallow, but her throat felt a throbbing pain deep inside of it," I crashed. I'm stranded..please help me."
"And why should I?" he said and bent down to look at her face.Her cheeks were flushed pink, but her lips shivered turning pale pink. Her hair was dripping infront of her face, she was drenched in water, even small droplets clung on her teal lashes.
"Because I'll die here if..if you don't," she replied.
"I know that you idiot. Why the hell, is what I'm asking, are you doing outside in the rain instead of popping one of your stupid capsules and speeding off somewhere."
"Vegeta, quit being an ignorant bastard. If I had my fucken capsules I wouldn't be in the middle of nowhere soaked and freezing now would I!" her voice suddenly managed to strengthen as her anger rose.
He laughed," Thought you were dieing, but I see that the cold has no effect on your pathetic wailing and insults."
Without giving her time to lash back at him, he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. She would have protested and asked him to carry her infront of him like he would dream her saviour would, but as long as she was away from here, she didn't care. His body was so warm in this cold weather. It amazed her, and comfort her all at once. He was however, going at a rather high pace through the air, making her hair fly forwards along with her sweater revealing her pale back.
"Mind going slower!?" she yelled as she tried pulling her damp sweater down.
"Yes and get more wet from this blasted rain?! Just be quiet before I let you fall!" he yelled.
"You are so inconsiderate Vegeta," she said but decided to be the silent one till this trip was over.
My eyes remained closed until I no longer felt the rain upong my body. I opened my eyes to see that we're back in Capsule Corp, we were miles away, but somehow we arrived in minutes. He still carried me until we were inside, the warmth surrounded me like a blanket. He set me down on the couch, I looked into his eyes, they were blank, just like they've always been.
TBC.
Better to have a bit then none right...right?! oO
