Thank you to all those who faved/followed and those who reviewed. Here's another chapter for you hope you enjoy. I'm not too sure about this one so let me know. Also I own nothing
"Woman Wake up! Dam it Woman would you wake up already." Vegeta stood beside the bed trying to wake Bulma up. Getting annoyed with his lack of progress he decided to take drastic measures. Grabbing hold of the edge of the blankets he pulled until Bulma fell off the bed with a loud THUD. "What the fuck Vegeta?" Bulma looked over at the clock she had put on the night stand it read 4:30AM. "Do you have any idea what time it is?"
"Get up already Woman, and put these on," Vegeta held out the pile of clothing to her. Taking the cloths she got up from the tangle of blankets on the floor. Taking a closer look at the cloths Vegeta had handed her Bulma noticed that they were made from a tougher fabric than what she had been wearing for the last week. Putting on the cloths she instantly noticed that they were a lot warmer as well. "Alright Vegeta I'm dressed, now what." Vegeta opened the door and let Trunks and Goten in, both kids were carrying large bags, "Okay Dad we're ready." Vegeta took one of the bags from the boys, "Did you get everything I told you to?" The boys nodded vigorously "Yep we did sir." Goten jumped around. "Alright boys, let's go. Woman get over here." Bulma glared at him but with the boys in the room she decided that momentary compliance would be better and walked over to where he stood. Taking her hand Vegeta opened the balcony doors, wrapped his arm around her waist and took off into the air.
Bulma gasped as they took off, wrapping her arms tight around his neck. She loved flying with him, it was completely different from all the times she had flown with Yamcha and Goku.
"Where are we going?" she asked, leaning in close to his ear to make sure he heard her. She was not surprised when she received no answer. Sighing she looked around at the surroundings, trying to figure it out for herself. Bulma noticed that the mountain she had been admiring was getting closer. She smiled as Vegeta landed at the base of the mountain. "Alright come on you three if we want to reach the top and get back down before night fall." Vegeta then began hiking up the side of the mountain with the boys close behind. "Wait, we're climbing up the mountain? Why don't we just fly up?" Vegeta shook his head and continued walking, "It would be sacrilegious to just fly up the mountain. So we are walking up the mountain."
Hours later Bulma was sure that this was just some sick way for Vegeta to torture her over some slight. Well the boys seem to be enjoying themselves, Trunks and Goten were running all over the mountain sticking their heads and hands into every nook, cranny and crevice. Every now and again one or the other would either bring something to Vegeta or drag him over to look at something. What surprised her was that Vegeta would actually go over and look at whatever the boys wanted him to, stand there with them and talk. Maybe it has something to do with being back on his home planet. It is really good to see him getting along with Trunks. As they continued up the mountain the climb became more difficult and Vegeta had to help Bulma up the steep cliffs. Trunks and Goten rushed ahead scrambling over the loose rocks trying to be the first one on top of the mountain. All too soon Bulma lost sight of them. "Let's go Woman. Keep climbing," Vegeta said from his perch on top a bolder. "I'm trying, but I don't exactly have the necessary upper body strength for this shit." Vegeta reached down, grabbed her wrist and pulled her up to stand beside him. He changed his grip on her so that he was holding her hand and guided her up the last bit of path. When Bulma stood on top of the mountain the view took her breath away. Vegeta looked at his mate and smiled at her reaction. He put his arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, "breath." Bulma smiled at him, "This is...the view is..." for once in her life she was at a loss for words. The only ones that made sense to her were, "Thank you." Vegeta shook his head at her foolishness "for what Woman?"
"For bringing me up here, it's wonderful." As she looked around Bulma noticed just how small the area they were staying in was. The small green valley couldn't have been more than 30km long and 10km wide. Surrounding the green was sand, lots of sand. That's an odd colour for sand, Bulma thought, it's not the colour of sand on earth. It looks more like the colour of dried blood. Go figure.
Vegeta left her to her thoughts and walked over to where the boys were standing. He motioned for Trunks to take off his bag and put it on the ground. He bent down and dug through the contents of the bag looking for something. He pulled out a tall narrow blood red candle. "Woman, come over here." Bulma wandered over to where the men stood, wondering what was up now. She noticed that one rock in particular seemed different; it had a narrow piece of metal that looked like a nail sticking out of it and a small dagger lying nearby. She wondered about all the pieces of metal that were scattered around and on the rock and was going to ask Vegeta about it but something in his look stopped her. "The three of you are going stand there quietly. There are to be no questions until after we leave here, understood? Once I'm done here then we will quietly walk back down the mountain." Vegeta glared at the two boys, "not a sound out of either of you."
Vegeta gave them one last warning look then turned to the rock. Bulma watched as he put the candle on the nail in the rock and lit it with a small amount of ki. Even if he had not warned her to be quiet she would not have been able to speak anyways as she watched her husband.
Vegeta put both hands on the rock in front of him and closed his eyes. Silently he thanked The Goddess for bringing him here with his family. He prayed for the strength to continue protecting his family and the mudball of a planet he now called home. He allowed his thoughts to continue while he reached into his armor and pulled out a gold medallion with the royal seal stamped on it. He placed the medallion in the pool of wax created by the candle, then picked up the dagger and ran the blade across his left palm, allowing the blood to drip on top of the medallion. Putting the dagger back on the rock he turned and walked over to Bulma, pointed to the boys then to the path, and they all walked off the mountain.
Once they reached a certain point on the mountain Vegeta grabbed Bulma and took off without a word and headed back to the mansion. Instead of lading on their balcony Vegeta landed in front of the house, "Alright boys go change and drop off the bags then head to the kitchen, Kaida should have some lunch for you." Bulma followed Vegeta through the house back to their room, "Vegeta what was in those bags?" He smirked at her, "Weights. Have to keep those two training somehow."
"Are you telling me this whole thing was another one of your training exercises?"
"No it was not, but why miss an opportunity to make them train." Bulma laughed at him. "Vegeta, what was all that on top of the mountain?" He scowled at her, "Nothing."
"Oh come on Vegeta, you can tell me," Bulma put her hand on his shoulder. Vegeta pushed her hand away, "leave it alone Woman." Bulma reached for him again, "Vegeta..."
"For Fuck's sake Woman leave it alone." She sighed and walked away, "you know what, fine. You don't want to talk to me, don't talk to me. I'll be downstairs with the others. When you're ready you know where to find me." She walked out of the room, letting the door close softly behind her. Vegeta watched the door close behind his mate, the soft click tore through him for some reason and he put his fist through the wall beside him. FUCK!
