To those who have reviewed thank you so very much. I really like anything that can help me with my writing. And to those who have not reviewed thank you for reading ^-^.
JesseGee-I was scared that my chapters were too long to begin with, but due to your request I will work on trying to make them longer, starting with this one. It has about 1000 more words than the previous ones. But I will start to make them longer as long as I have time in the day.
NNP and KayuraK-I appreciate you two so much for reading and commenting, it really does keep me motivated to write more chapters.
"But Vegeta, Bulma told you that we had to take it somewhat easy. I really don't want to do more than super saiyan. If I took your arm off then I'd have Bulma and Chi-Chi on me." Goku said as he stood on the top of a piece of rock that hadn't been destroyed by their multiple ki blast. He was powered up to super saiyan and his clothing was pretty tattered from the attacks.
"I don't care what the woman says. Fight me Kakorot!" Vegeta yelled as he powered up as to super saiyan two and charged at Goku.
"But Vegeta!" Goku started to say but had to cut off his talking as Vegeta's fist came close to his cheek. He easily dodged the move and quickly shot over to the other side of the canyon. He clenched his fist and powered up with ease. Instantly Goku was above Vegeta and with a charge he threw several ki blast at Vegeta's head. Vegeta could easily tell what was going on so he deflected the five blast away with his hands and they went flying into the side of the mountain, making five different holes appear as the rubble fell to the floor of the canyon. Vegeta shot up at Goku and grabbed his leg and threw him to the right into a pillar that was standing close by. Goku acted quickly and turned his body quickly she his feet would hit the pillar instead of his head. He used it to kick off of and fly back at Vegeta. Vegeta caught his left hand with his right and returned a punch into Goku's gut. Goku spit after being punched but retorted with a kick to Vegeta's side. This caused Vegeta to let go of Goku's hand and go flying off to his left.
Vegeta stopped himself in mid-air and looked back at Goku. His gold hair swayed slightly in the gradually growing wind due to the storm that was moving in on the men. "I think you have gotten weaker over the years. Or are you still holding back because of my woman's words?"
Goku laughed as he moved close to nearby tree to sit on the top branches. "Oh come on Vegeta, we are just having a friendly spar. It is not a kill all out here." The he looked down the tree and saw a nest of baby birds. "Hey! Vegeta look! There's a birds nest down here…" He said as floated down a couple branches and looked at the nest closer. "they are so cute. It looks like they are almost ready to fly." Four little blue and green birds sat in the nest flapping their wings trying to get some lift out of their home. Goku just stared at them and when Vegeta realized that he had lost all concentration on their spar, he decided to float over to Goku.
When he reached Goku's side he crossed his arms and scowled at the birds "I do not understand what is so amazing about some damn birds Kakorot."
"Oh come on, look at them. Children are fun to watch no matter what species they are."
"That is the stupidest shit I think I've ever heard you say before."
Goku let go of the tiny branches he had pulled away so he could see the nest and turned around to Vegeta. "What's so stupid about it? Don't you like watching your son grow up?"
With a snort, Vegeta turned his back to Goku. "You have got to be kidding me? I hate seeing him grow up. Atleast when he was younger he was witty and ready to train. He turning into his mother with the brains and less interest into training. I don't care about watching him grow up"
"You have got to be lying Vegeta." Goku said as he turned around and looking at him questionably. "You can't say you aren't sad that Trunks is getting older and you don't have any other children?"
"Honestly, I have no interest in this conversation and if it will get you off the subject," Vegeta lifted his hand up with a grin and pointed it at the tree. "I will dispose of this absolute annoyance." He waited for a moment, watched Goku's eyes go giant at the thought of the tree exploding. "Get up and lets finish our spar or I am going home! This is why I hate this peace we are in. Everyone is so weak and distracted by pointless things."
He charged his ki and through the giant ball at the base of the tree. Goku quickly went down and caught the ball of ki after charging back up to super saiyan 2. He took the ball and through it back at Vegeta. This caused their sparing to continue. 'I knew that would get that weakling mad and make him focus on why we are here in the first place' Vegeta thought as he speed full speed through the air colliding with Goku. The threw punch after kick after kick after punch at each other, moving so fast that it looked as if they were teleporting from one side of the canyon to another. Ki blast and energy attacks flying through the air in all different directions, creating craters in the land and mountains.
The dark thunder clouds moved in as they continued their fighting, creating an ominous look and feel to their movements. The lightning back sooner and sooner and the thunder grew around them. This seemed to increase their want for this fight. Something had sparked in the both of them that had not happened since back when Majin Buu was threatening the very existence of the universe. Neither one of them would give up. Goku had blood dripping from his mouth and had several huge cuts in his skin from being slammed into rocks and trees. Vegeta was looking just as ruff, blood was everywhere and his clothing was so tattered from standing up to all the attacks that Goku through at them.
The black cloud was completely over top of the two men, and the rain started to pour. Neither one wanted to call it quits now, they were going to prosper in this battle, they were going to have the other beg to stop this quarrel. Goku wasn't even thinking anymore, he just wanted to come out of this match on top, as he always did. He may have made it seem like he really didn't care but he truly liked being on top. Vegeta has the title of Prince but he has the title of hero of earth, and he liked to keep it that way.
On the other hand, Vegeta and his pride was not going to let this idiot win this battle. No, this clown is always too busy looking at the cute and innocent things in life. These things are such distractions that he would not let himself get caught up into. He had learned to fight for his honor, pride and his family but everything else did not matter. And he was going to win this match to go home and deserve his bragging rights finally that he was stronger than Goku. Besides he is the Prince of all Saiyans and he was going to protect that title with all he
Niether of them had noticed that the conditions were getting worse around them, the energy in the air seemed to supply more energy into their bodies and into their attacks. Both would charge their attacks and send them flying through the air, strong and faster with every attack. Finally Goku got hit by one of Vegeta's Galik Gun attacks, sending him flying to the ground. Vegeta laughed at the same time a bolt of lightning hit the ground behind him, setting an dangerous look on Vegeta. "This is it Kakorot! I, Vegeta, Prince of Saiyans will finally put you in your place! Behind me!" He charged at Goku with his fist out.
Goku laid there seeing his target, his friend, his enemy, his ally flying full speed at him. His brain was snapping back and forth. He couldn't keep himself straight on his thinking 'This was only supposed to be a fun spar, what has happened?' Rage built inside of him as he watched Vegeta hurtling at him. "KA….ME….HA….ME…." He put his fingers up to his forehead right before Vegeta crashed his fisted into the ground below where Goku was lying, "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Goku and reappeared right behind Vegeta and blasted him with his Kamehameha technique.
Vegeta couldn't believe he let himself fall for this move as he pulled his fist out of the earth just in time to turn around and see Goku attack him with full force. "Damn-it!" He tried to move out of the attack but just wasn't able too. The same time the ball of energy hit Vegeta, lightning struck a tree behind them and caused Goku to snap out of it in time to hear Vegeta scream as his attack him.
Almost instantly the rain stopped, there was no more thunder and residual thunder sounded as it moved off into the distance. The skies were still dark but a lot of the lighting had come back and Goku floated above the scene to take in all the damage to the area they had created. "Wow we really did it this time didn't we?" He said as he scratched the back of his head. "Geez, we might have to find another place to spare in or this place will be a wasteland by time we finish next time." Goku stated with a bit of a giggle. But there was no response, so Goku looked back down at Vegeta.
Laying in a crater was Vegeta. He did not move, and his breathing was extremely shallow. He was no longer in his super state and he looked but almost dead. Goku quickly went to his side to make sure he was okay. He stood over him looking at Vegeta, and suddenly Vegeta reached up and grabbed his collar and brought him down to his nose. Vegeta snapped his eyes open and looked at Goku, "You stupid third class Saiyan, I know you have one of those damned sensu beans and you better give it to me."
Taken aback by Vegeta's sudden grab, Goku had a slight difficulty at answering, "uh…uh sure Vegeta. If you could just let me stand up I can get it out." And with that Vegeta huffed and pushed Goku backwards as he released his collar. Goku reached into his pocket and pulled out the two beans he had. As he handed the bean to Vegeta, he decided to speak again, "So that was entertaining, it's been a while since we've…"
"Don't even speak another word Kakorot. You just piss me off." He ate the bean in silence as Goku just stood there awkwardly looking at Vegeta. After Vegeta seemed to spring back after eating the bean he approached Goku, stared him down, and then took off towards home. Goku stood there for a moment watching Vegeta explode off into the distance, and then he heard a large rumble that sounded like thunder but the storm had all but past. The only thing he figured was it came from Vegeta as he sped home.
"I better give Bulma a heads up as to what she has coming home." Goku stated as he put his two fingers to his forehead.
Bulma had gotten everything set up and was just getting out of the shower. She looked down at her body thinking about how it was going to change again. "I hope that I lose the weight like I did with Trunks. I've worked so hard on myself over the years, it would really stink if this ruined it. I am a lot older now," She added as she looked into the mirror, holding her skin back around her eyes. "Damn it, maybe I'm too old to be having another Saiyan child."
She stood back from the counter and reached over to the towel rack to retrieve her towel. Her bathroom was gigantic. It had a huge Jacuzzi tub along with a double person shower with shower heads on the three walls that were not the beautiful glass stained door. The design was very masculine but still had some colors in it for Bulma to enjoy. Everything was redesigned when Vegeta and Bulma were officially a couple because Vegeta would not live in a room with any kind of feminine colors, thus leaving Bulma to get rid of all of her pinks and purples she adored. She did get to keep her blues, yellows, greens, and oranges as long as they weren't set in a feminine way. They had three sinks in bathroom along with one gigantic mirror behind these sinks. Inset lighting that made it seem more like sunlight was shining into the bathroom opposed to fluorescent lighting.
As she grabbed blinding for her towel, with her head facing the other direction, she felt something hard against her hand. Turning quickly to see what it could have been, her face went bright read. "GOKU!" She said as she jumped back to move away from him and she slipped due to her wet feet making her land on the floor in a not too lady way. She quickly stood up and tried her best to hide herself with her hands and arms, but not having much luck with the upper half.
Goku's face with bright red and he shut his eyes. "Sorry Bulma…uh I was just wanting to warn you about…"
"Argh, Goku, I don't care what you want to warn me about! I told you not to do that stupid instant transmission move if you are coming to see me! I knew this was going to happen again! Did you learn anything from the last time this happened?" She scorned him like he was her child. Moving behind him, she reached for her towel and wrapped it around her body. "Now what are you wanting to tell me? I'm covered now."
Goku slowly moved his hands and peered out of cracked eyes just making certain she wasn't still open for view. "Well I came because I wanted to let you know that our spar didn't go very well and he is in a super bad mood."
Bulma hung her head and went to sit down on the small almost couch like furniture that was against the one wall in the bathroom. Not looking back up to Goku, she dared to ask, "What happened? And how do you know he isn't just mad at you?"
"That's the problem I can't be for sure but I really haven't seen him so angry in a while, I just wanted you to know."
"Damn-it Goku, this is going to ruin everything! And if it does, you are so going to pay for it! I will find a way." Bulma retorted as she quickly tried to think of something she could do to possibly make the situation when Vegeta got home better.
"What's so important you are planning anyways, Bulma, if you don't mind me asking?" Goku said kind of nervously. He really didn't want to upset two people in one day. This was really going to bother him for a while.
With a short sigh she answered, "I'm pregnant and I wanted to surprise Vegeta with the news."
"Really that's great! I can't even tell that you are." He said as he looked at her eyes and then down to her stomach.
"Well of course you wouldn't be able to by seeing because I'm not that far along, and I figured if I told him early enough he wouldn't be able to sense the child inside, like I'm guessing you cannot either."
"You'd be correct with that Bulma. Oh that's so wonderful!" Goku was truly happy with the news but then he felt Vegeta's energy from off. "Well I better get going before he gets here. He still seems like he is pretty mad from what I can tell from here, but he's still off a bits. Good luck with telling him the good news" He said as he walked up to her and kissed her on the cheek, and then instantly he was gone.
Pissed was an understatement at this point. He was livid. He just couldn't understand why in the world he could never beat that idiot. "He is such an ass! I should have been able to defeat that jerk once and for all. I'll get you one day Kakorot!" He screamed as he shot even faster home. All he wanted to do was to get home and clean himself up and be left alone. 'That woman better be working on my GR and getting it closer to being done, and if it isn't done soon, I'm going to threaten with taking one of her damn ships and going out for several months.'
He really hadn't been this angry in such a long time. He was happy with his family, he loved his witty standoffs with his wife, he loved when he got to train his son or tell his son about his younger years, and he even loved having those stupid get togethers with Kakorot's family. But he didn't like being put to shame, he didn't like when his pride was challenged by that stupid worthless lowlife of a Saiyan. All he wanted was to beat him once. The electricity from the storm still felt like it was surging through his veins and it was somewhat invigorating but at the same time he just wanted to relax and not feel or think about anything that had happened that day.
Bulma quickly got dressed and did her hair. Her dress was peach and came down just past her knees. It flowed beautifully around her waist with a sheer yellow layer than laid on time of the dress. The straps weren't too thin but didn't hide much of her shoulders. She gently curled short blue hair and applied a light layer of make-up. She couldn't believe all of this was happening but she wanted to make sure she did this right this time. Vegeta and herself were very close now and she thought it was appropriate not to hide things like this from him, but she also wanted to make it special. Running down the hall she wanted to check to make sure that the indoor garden was getting the perfect last minute touches.
Her mother was in the nearby extra kitchen, that was used for garden parties, making sure the cooks were making everything just right for Bulma and Vegeta. After so many years, Mrs. Briefs knew so much about Vegeta's likes and dislikes with food that she had them preparing the perfect meal for him. Many of the hors d'oeuvres were finished and waiting in warming trays for the perfect moment to bring it out. Mrs. Briefs was so happy bouncing around the kitchen. And anything that involved her having another grandchild made everything that much better.
Bulma ran back upstairs because she realized that she forgot her earrings. She stopped at Trunks' room and peaked in on him. He was in the corner, looking like he was hiding something so she walked in the room. With a light knock on the door she said, "Hello honey, what are you working on over there?"
"Hi mom, its just something I'm trying to build. I really don't know what it is yet…I just started to play with these things and started to put it together. It's nothing now." He laughed to himself as he moved away from his invention. It was just a little heap of metal pieces but Bulma moved closer to look at the be machine. She was pretty impressed with what he was doing and smiled.
"Good luck with it Trunks, I have to finish getting ready. Oh, do you know when your father is going to be home?"
Trunks stayed silent for a moment and then said "He's about to fly into your bedroom."
Bulma's eyes went huge "Oh shit, thank you Trunks." And she ran out of his bedroom and straight to hers. When she ran in, he was standing on their balcony leaning on the edge looking out over the yard. He looked horribly beat up and had quite a bit of dried blood all over him. She tip-toed over to her jewelry dresser and pulled out the earring he had bought her once and turned around to leave the room.
Before she made it to the door, Vegeta grabbed her arm and spun her around. "Hi Vegeta. Looks like you had a rough fight. Maybe you should take a shower and come downstairs when you are finished. I have dinner going"
Vegeta just looked at her, he couldn't be mad at her, she hadn't done anything wrong. She was allowed to leave the room if she wanted to. His mind was going crazy, the rage was still there and he knew she could see it but as always she wouldn't let it bother her. Instead she was caring and had things already going for him for when he came home. He let go of her arm and stepped closer to her and grabbed her waist gently instead. He kissed her on the lips and then pulled away. "That shower sounds wonderful, I'll take you up on your words Bulma, but only because I can smell every one of my foods cooking." He winked at her and turned towards the bathroom.
Bulma sighed with relief, she could feel the energy coming from him when he grabbed her arm but something instantly changed and he let go of whatever it was. Tonight still stood a chance of turning out okay and she was thrilled to know this. She went back downstairs while putting on the beautiful gold dangly earrings with the huge opals on the ends. This was her favorite pair of earring and only used for special occasions.
