Hey, hey! Welcome to Chapter 3 of Into The Storm! Thank you for the support so far :).

I own nothing DBZ related besides my imagination of Domi.

Chapter III

Vegeta hit me square in the cheek, the dislocation of my jaw felt like it was going to shatter, the coppery taste of blood filled my mouth like a waterfall; my neck muscles pinched into a tight and uncomfortable position. I couldn't feel anything from my chest up. My lungs felt so tight I couldn't say a thing without them wanting to explode, more then likely his intention. I could feel my energy draining as if someone was absoring it.

I think he's seriously trying to kill me. Oh, God...where's Goku?

It hurt to even blink my eyes. I felt dirt in them after I landed face first into the ground; when I landed on impact I created a small crater in the Earth. I carefully rolled onto my side, Vegeta stood over me with that damned smirk on his face.

"You're not dead, which is good, Dominika. You'll get stronger from this. When you pick yourself up from the ground; I'll be waiting for you. This was only the beginning of our battle." A deep laugh rumbled from Vegeta and he sulked back into the house.

His intention was to make me stronger? Did that idiot think he was stronger then me? Please, he turned Super Saiyan the first time basically going off to a uncharted planet and throwing a tantrum! He caught me off guard; and he better believe when I get up I'll be paying him a visit.

I felt someones Ki spike up as it drew closer to me. Happiness washed over me as I could feel it was Goku. I had started becoming so protective of Goku, especially lately, that I just had a 'feeling' whenever he was around.

"Domi!" Goku gasped as I felt his strong arms wrap themselves around my waist as he pulled me into his lap. His soft hands carefully caressed my face and he pushed away my hair from my face. Pain started filling my body from the waist up; it was becoming too unbearable with my face against his arm.

"Please, take..the pain...away.." I barely managed to say, my voice wasn't wanting to cooperate with me so it came out in a whisper. I looked up at him with pleading eyes. My jaw hurts so bad...I'm going to make Vegeta pay for this.

Goku reached into his pocket and pulled out a sensu-bean. He always seemed to carry them with him now and for that, for today, I was grateful he came to my rescue. He always does..

"Here, I'm gonna help you chew this okay? It's gonna hurt, probably really bad; but you'll feel better. I promise." Goku smiled lightly but his dark eyes were so filled with concern.

He placed the sensu-bean in my mouth and he placed his hand underneath my chin and helped it onto the better side; his hand moved my jaw a few times to help me chew the nasty thing. The pain brought tears to my eyes but just as quick as the pain had come I quickly felt relief.

Goku started to pick me up, my head resting on his shoulder as he moved my legs onto the top of his arms. "You're gonna be okay, Domi." He whispered in my ear as he quickly raced to the bedroom I was staying in.

He kicked open the door and awkwardly began to fumble with the blankets. Gently laying me down he covered me back up and he sat on the edge of the bed; fumbling with his hands.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there. I should of known Vegeta was gonna hold this grudge until you two fought it out." His voice was so sad and his eyes shown with regret.

I reached my hand out and rubbed the top of his hand lightly. "Not your fault." I mumbled sleepily. He looked at me and half a smile spread on his face, he laughed nervously. "Get some rest; I'll be here." Blinking my eyes a few times I finally let my dreams overtake me.

I woke up and blinked my eyes a few times; getting them adjusted. It was dark out but the stars in the sky lit up the Earth better then the moon ever could. It was a beautiful night despite the awful afternoon I had.

"Goku?" I mumbled sleepily as I stretched my legs out only to kick a leg that was underneath the blanket too. I looked over and saw Goku sprawled out, one leg in the blanket and another one kicked out. He was still in his Gi so he must of not left when I fell asleep. I couldn't help but smile; he looked so peaceful when he slept. Opening my jaw a few times and rubbing from the soreness I started to sit up. A muscled arm snaked around my waist and pulled me back down to where my head was laying on his chest. His heart beating contently; I could feel my face turn crimson.

"You need more rest, you aren't fully healed." Goku whispered sleepily as he yawned; his fingers lightly combing through my hair. His hand slowly moved and his fingertips traced from my jawbone to my cheek. He looks so happy..and..I feel happy.

"Goku, you know me. When have I ever been able to sit still?" I laughed as I rose from his chest again and scooched to the end of the bed, Goku following my movements. He looked at me and shot me his goofy grin. "But sleep is so amazing." He laughed with me. I put my arms in the air and stretched again, feeling my joints pop at the movement. I watched him stand up but he moved in front of me. His dark eyes locked onto my green ones. He leaned down; his forehead resting against mine. "Domi.." he mumbled softly as he placed one hand on my chin and tilted my face to look at his.

My arms snaked across his neck as I slowly started to stand. I pressed against him and the corners of his mouth raised in a smile as our eyes met again. With Goku, this is where I wanted to be. There was no one else I could picture myself wanting to be with. It was weird; Saiyans don't dedicate their selves to someone, never express emotion so much, I never would have thought I'd want to be with someone as much as I wanted to be with Goku, but the very thought of dedication, bondage, it scared me. It was a new feeling, one I've never experienced before.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me as close to him as physically possible; our hearts in rythem as he leaned down and pressed his lips against my own. He ran his tongue against my teeth before finally finding my own. Our tongues battled and I could feel him smile in between our kisses. I kissed his smile, his smile growing bigger as his lips softly pressed against my cheek. Goku's touch was magnetizing; and all it did was make me want him more.

He rested his forehead against mine "You're amazing, Domi." He whispered in my ear; it sent shivers down my spine. I giggled and met his gaze; I could tell he was feeling the emotions I was feeling, he started to lean in but a voice at the door put us at a stop.

"Hey Dominika! You doin okay?" I heard Krillins' joyful voice as he opened up the door.

I peeled away from Gokus' arms and I rubbed the back of my head; my eyes going to my feet as a pink hue spread on my features.

"Uh..Yeah I'm great." I said trying to act nonchalant.

He stepped further into the room; Goku had his big smile on and I continued to stare anywhere but at Goku and Krillin.

Krillin raised a single brow but didn't mention why Goku was in there. "What the heck is Vegeta's deal? I hope you kick his ass for this."

"I don't know but I do plan on it." I couldn't hold the anger in my voice. "I'll catch up with you two." I grabbed a black Capsule Corp jacket from the coat hanger and left the room.

You wait Vegeta, if it's a fight you want; it'll be a fight you'll get.

A/N: I do want to express Vegeta is such a big favorite of mine and I plan on doing a fanfic with Vegeta also. I just love the possible interesting scenarios you can have with Vegeta with that short temper of his. ^_^
