Chapter V
Things had been calm for the past few weeks since what happened between Vegeta and I, for that I was pretty grateful - it made living here a bit easier. I had noticed though, Vegeta was out a lot more. Bulma would never say where he'd go off to only that he was 'shopping' which was a lie. Vegeta would never in his life be caught dead going shopping for anything. I knew that something wasn't right; but I pushed it to the back of my mind as I walked down the stairs to the kitchen.
Vegeta was in the corner of the kitchen shifting through the items in his bag when I knew he caught my Ki. He shoved the bag behind his back and he frowned.
"Why aren't you with Kakarot?" He hissed out as his hands fumbled with the bag.
I raised an eyebrow as I crossed my arms across my chest. "I wanted some extra beauty sleep." I batted my eyelashes at him then rolled my eyes. I moved to the fridge and he started to walk backwards towards the stairs, his gaze fixed on me.
"Have you not gotten over the 'girls got cooties' stage Vegeta?" I snorted as I grabbed the carton of milk and took a small glass cup.
"I asked you a question, woman." Vegeta's voice took a demanding tone.
"I told Goku I didn't want to go with him and Gohan today, wherever the hell they were going. Good enough?" I frowned at him as I headed towards the back door. His features mimicked my frown as he stormed up the stairs.
I pushed open the door and basked in the suns morning rays as I couldn't help but giggle at the thought of Goku this morning.
"Come on, Domi, get up." Goku pleaded as his calloused hand shook my shoulder.
"Touch me again Goku and you'll be going out that window." I muttered at him as I took the comforting blanket and pulled it up closer to me; almost covering my head with it.
"Domi please..." he pleaded again. I rolled over and looked at him; his dark eyes big and pleading like a little puppy.
"Goku, I'm tired. I've been training a lot. I don't know where you two are going but I don't give a crap and would like to sleep." I rolled back over, hugging my knees to my chest.
I heard Gohan laugh a little as he came over to his father. "Let her sleep, she has been working really hard with everyone lately."
Goku sighed and removed his hand from my shoulder. "Yeah, alright." I felt the warmth radiate from Goku as he leaned down towards my ear, his finger tucking a strand of my hair behind it; I shuddered at his touch.. "Sleep well" I could hear the smile in his voice as he quickly followed Gohan out the door.
As soon as he left I tugged on the blanket more. I missed the warmth of him already.
A few hours later I had went back inside to see a bowl sitting at the table. There's 3 pure-blood Saiyans living under one roof. There is no way that someone is gonna leave a bowl of food unattended. I moved closer to examine; it was a bowl of soup.
I closed my eyes and focused on sensing where everyone was. No one was here.
My Saiyan hunger kicked in fast and my stomach rumbled aggressively as I stared at the bowl of soup; steam still radiating from the little bowl. Well...first come first serve! I told myself as I drank the soup. Half way through I frowned. I could feel my throat swelling and my eyes getting watery. My hand felt heavy as I lifted it to rub my throat. Don-Don't panic.
I eyed the contents in the bowl to see white flaking around the rim of the bowl. I felt my eyes getting heavy as I seen Goku come into my blurry vision. My eyes snapped open as I felt my knees become weak, my hand reaching out for Goku. Goku moved to grab my hand but Vegeta was suddenly in front of me now. My knees gave out and I crumpled to the floor; the tears burning my cheeks. He pulled out a small needle as he bent down in front of me.
"Veg...Vegeta..?" I tried to get out as I saw Goku try and move Vegeta out of the way. Vegeta pricked Goku with the needle in the side of the leg.
"N-No!" I gasped as Goku yelled painfully as he slumped down near my legs.
Vegeta's face was becoming more blurry as his lent down to mine. His tongue snaked out and traced my earlobe.
"Kakarot is fine." Were the last words I heard before I felt my head connect to the back of the hardwood flooring.
"Why isn't she waking up yet?" I could barely make out Bulma's concerned voice.
"She drank almost that entire bowl. She'll be out for awhile. She was none the wiser about that soup either." Vegeta snorted in response.
"And what about Goku? He's snoring his head off over there." Bulma quizzed as I heard her fingers quickly gracing over a keyboard.
"Considering it's Kakarot and he can sleep for twenty-four hours, who knows. I, however, am enjoying that always-grinning idiot not talking for a few hours." He mumbled as his voice got closer to where I was. His hand lightly touched my arm as he shook it a few times.
"Dominika?" His voice quizzed as he shook it a few more times, the shaking becoming more aggressive. I tried with everything in me to tell Vegeta to get his hand off me but nothing came out.
"She's not waking up any time soon. Finally, some quiet. I better get a big 'thank you Prince Vegeta' from her after this." Vegeta's hand quickly left my arm and the noise of his footsteps became more quiet as he must of left or sat down somewhere.
I woke up to a bright light hanging in front of me, the light was so bright however it felt like it was designed to blind someone. I groaned and my body felt groggy and stiff as I tried to move off the table. Gentle hands put a firm grip on my shoulders and put enough pressure on me that I couldn't move. What's going on.. what's happening to me?
I could feel myself mentally start freaking out, I flailed my legs around trying to kick whoever was holding me down.
"Get off of me!" I yelled as I felt my right foot connect to someone, or something.
"Ow! Domi, stop kicking, you're okay." Goku's voice put me at a halt. Relief washed over me as I blinked my eyes a few times as his features came into focus. A soft smile was on his face but his eyes were sympathetic.
"Goku..wha-what's going on?" I murmured as I tried to inch myself closer to him, but he applied more pressure onto my shoulders.
"You have to stay here. You aren't ready to move yet, but you will be soon, I promise. Just take it easy."
I tried to relax but I couldn't. No matter what Goku said I had to get up, something was wrong and he...he couldn't see it? Goku is naive but not stupid.
The panic in me bubbled up to the surface again as I tried but failed to get off the table,
"Goku, Vegeta drugged me, drugged you! Let-let me go!" I shouted at him. The tone in my voice made him ease up, either voluntarily or not but it was enough for me to shove him off.
"Domi, I know, but I know why. Please just calm down, trust me. Please." He pleaded with me again, like this morning. I trusted Goku with my life but Goku has been known to be too naive, like with Frieza. He let him go so many times and all Frieza did was attack him again and again. And I knew it was because Goku was to nice for his own good, to forgiving. But- Goku interrupted my thoughts as he stood in front of me, his hand reaching down to my chin and titling it towards him.
"Domi, I wouldn't lie to you" he leaned his face down lower to me, his lips grazing mine. "And I wouldn't do anything to hurt you." I pressed my lips against his at his words, my hand moving to the back of his neck as I ran the other through his hair. His arms wrapped around my waist pressing me as close as possible against him. He deepened the kiss as he lightly squeezed my waist. "Goku.." I whispered as his dark eyes met mine.
"I-" I started but the door opening and Vegeta and Bulma walking through stopped my train of thought. I quickly peeled myself away from Goku and I felt the redness spread through my face. These two always have such great timing...
"Ah, look who is up from their nap. Let's get started." Vegeta clasped his hands together as he leaned against the table I had been on earlier.
"I am going to assume you know how I had reached my Super Saiyan 4 form? I used a machine." His eyes narrowed at the word but he rolled his shoulders and continued. "I drugged you, and injected..lets just say some strength boosters into you."
I knew I couldn't hide the horrified look on my face. "What the fuck Vegeta?!" I screamed. Goku put his arms around me in restraint, probably assuming I was gonna fly out of the chair.
"Get your personal feelings in control for a moment. There is something coming here, Kakarot and I can feel it and soon you will too."
"It's power is bigger then any of ours." Goku's voice chimed in. "Vegeta and I doing a fusion would barely hold whatever this is back. We need you, Domi. Bulma is researching on how we could possibly all do a fusion together, just anything that can get our combined levels stronger." His voice went quiet "he had to drug you so you wouldn't be in pain."
"Kakarot don't leave out the best part," Vegeta snorted as his eyes locked onto mine "With it being 3 people, there's a chance it could absorb one of us, best compared to Cell when he absorbed the androids. Bodies are gone but he has their energy. And there's a chance it could be you."
I could feel my body shaking at the thought of me being absorbed into Vegeta and Goku. That..no..how could I accept doing something like this? Why don't we just go and fight this thing as a team!?
"Wait, you left that part out Vegeta!" Goku shouted as his Ki flared.
"This is impossible, Vegeta. We can just..fight that thing without doing a fusion."
Vegeta's eyes narrowed and he stomped over; pointing a finger in my face.
"If there is the slightest chance we are damn right doing this fusion. If you have another idea, fine. But think of the power, we would be unstoppable! I'm not asking you to do this woman, you are. I will drag you in here and pin you down myself because there is no other idea." He hissed as he stomped off back up stairs.
I narrowed my eyes and watched him until the door slammed shut. My muscles slightly relaxed at Vegeta leaving, his presence made me tense.
"I don't want to get absorbed into Vegeta.." I huffed quietly as I examined my arms. My veins were noticeable as they tensely pressed against my skin.
"Piccolo is still around so we have Dragon Balls if things go wrong!" Goku laughed a little as he tried to clear the tense air and I couldn't help but smile. It felt like I haven't heard his laugh in a while.
I lightly pinched the bridge of my nose and stood up. "I need to go think. Vegeta just injected with me with who knows what..a fusion that could kill one of us..I just..I'll see you in a bit." I frowned lightly as I made my way for the stairs.
"Domi wait!" Goku called out but I walked up the stairs and didn't bother to look back.
