Fates way chap 3- ever closer

Bulma and Vegeta walked side by side silently thinking to themselves, Vegeta's tail was wrapped around his waist, the dog chain around his neck was the only thing that made a noise above the sound of their footsteps.

Bulma's long exotic blue hair was swinging naturally by her waist and her eyes were big and blue. Vegeta kept sneaking sideway glances at her, the last time he had seen her they had both been small toddlers, in the years they that had passed she had grown into a beautiful almost irresistible teenager.

"So what's going to happen with this war with the lord…-" Bulma was then quickly silenced by the teen prince as he put his hands over her mouth and roughly pushed her around a wall in another hall, which led to the right. She was defenceless to say the least, Vegeta was so powerful and yet the force he held her down with didn't hurt her it just frightened the young princess.

Her eyes grew even bigger as Vegeta used his other hand to cover up her eyes, her lip gloss covered across his skin. She was tempted to bite the hand but before she had the chance she sensed a strange presence.

It was just in time because just as she realised a large blue reptilian alien emerged out of a door in the main hall they were just walking along.

The alien was clearly on guard duty and was carrying a bulky black Destabluliser gun' in one of its arms. Searching from one side to the other its tail seemed to slither along the ground, its legs making a loud thudding noise with every step it took.

Vegeta released his grip on her and let her shelter behind him, as it turned out he was trying to protect her not harass the queen to be as she previously began to think.

She was half hiding behind Vegeta and had crouched down her eyes were closed in fear and she was almost praying to herself that the guard had not heard her sentence she blurted out seconds ago to break the ice. If not the whole planet was in a danger path awaiting destruction because of her plain stupidity. Vegeta just stood his ground and tried to squash Bulma against the wall as if attempting to hide her from sight. If the blue alien had overhead anything he was prepared to kill it before word got out the last thing he was going to allow was the creature to spot the Royal Guest she would certainly become a target if not as she seemed so fragile and weak.

It was a well-known fact that Freeza's minions enjoyed raping and assaulting females that they came across on missions. Some of the more unlucky ones were even taken back to the mother ship and used as slaves, passed on to all the other troops like children would a toy. Also Vegeta was not aware that Freeza knew of the Krystallis Royals' presence; he himself had decided to visit king Vegeta on the spur of the moment as he was passing galaxies and wanted to know how long the purging missions were going to take the Sayans on the east side of the universe.

Luckily the blue squid like creature did not seem to overhear Bulma; As Vegeta looked closer the alien was actually a royal elite guard and a personal mentor to Lord Freeza, Vegeta noticed him almost instantly; he was well known by most of Freeza's recruits as snitch' because he reported every single mishap or unwanted conversation it overheard straight to the dark lord.

He had gotten countless numbers of people into shit and seemed to thrive on them getting punished, many people were out to get him but no one had yet been successful the large squid man wasn't as weak as he looked. Carrying a destabluliser gun was a smart move to say the least.

Vegeta breathed a loud sigh of relief as snitch' its birth name Zadora went through a pair of double doors not even noticing the royal teens squashed up against the wall in the other hall. Fortunately he wasn't wearing a scouter as Vegeta had begun to raise his power level ready for a fight.

A few moments later Vegeta released the pressure he was holding onto Bulma and let her free.

"Are you crazy! If that squid would have overheard your big mouth we'd all be dead. Come on I'll show you to your room and keep that giant trap of yours shut we'll talk later." Vegeta whispered angrily as he pushed her off the wall and into the hall that Zadura nearly caught them in.

A couple of minutes later of deadly silence they reached a pair of single gold doors that faced one another, Bulma was feeling miserable about her deadly mistake, she had forgotten how different the two planets ways were.

Vegeta quickly opened up the door on the left by swiping a card then entering a code and held the door open for Bulma before entering it himself.

"Whoa prince charming! He does have manners" Bulma said giggling uneasily trying to break the spooky silence as she stepped inside and then Vegeta followed suit closing the door behind them. Thinking twice she thought she sounded as drunk as her father.

"Sorry… I'm such an airhead sometimes…" Bulma admitted quietly as she looked at the pink marble floor; not really knowing what to say to break the silence between them both. She was freaked out and was beginning to feel alone.

"Well… you didn't know" Vegeta admitted quietly- we cant run checks for spy ware until Freeza's left; his goons have probably planted it everywhere to bug this place" he whispered as the muscular prince handed over the blue card that he used to get into the room, Bulma took it and smiled gratefully to him for the advice. Her world was quite worn torn but it was nowhere as close to the scale of this Planet, she almost felt sorry for the boy before her having to adjust for the evil dictator.

"Use it to enter and exit your room. Never leave the card anywhere keep it on you at all times and keep the pin code to yourself. Snitch would just love an excuse to go reaping through your stuff reporting anything to his lord" Vegeta said the sarcasm dripping off his tongue, as he lied down on the luxurious bed in the corner his head thumping onto a big white silky pillow. He seemed to be totally relaxed; Bulma assumed he had been training for a while before she arrived on Vegetaseii.

Bulma smiled to herself as she placed the card safely on a cute round table next to a box of high-class chocolates that had been left for her.

"Wow this rooms awesome! Its even better than my room back home!" Bulma said as she looked around her room properly.

Quickly she joined Vegeta on the comfortable four-post waterbed she hoped he wouldn't mind the company after all it was her bed! She had a huge pink and white veil on the summit of the bed that she could use if it got a lot cooler or she fancied some privacy even though it was transparent it added to the royal look of the room.

The room itself was huge, it had a heart shaped hot tub in the corner, On the left away from it was the biggest wardrobe that Bulma had ever seen all opened up waiting for her clothes to be packed into it to her delight it looked like it was a walk in wardrobe something she had always wanted back home. The floor was a smart sexy light pink marble flooring and a royal red rug was in the centre of the room to help add flavour to the room and give it that majestic touch.

The walls were a mystic blue colour with a silver border going along the middle of the walls. Several pictures were also spaced out carefully some had pictures of luscious beaches to Bulma's delight, one was of a beautiful dolphin like creature playing in crystal clear waters and another of a cute pink unicorn type pony with huge trees and mountains in the background. All must have been taken on the Planet Vegeta as the sky and scenery looked like it had outside the castle.

Seeing the pictures made Bulma suddenly want to explore, she had believed all her life the Planet to be a rocky baron wilderness but according to the pictures it was quite the contrary beautiful creatures and large oceans must have dominated the land once Bulma hoped they still did somewhere although what she had seen so far of the Planet had been a hot desert land. Maybe she could convince Vegeta to give her a tour although she wasn't going to get her hopes up he seemed a busy guy.

In the corner next to the wardrobe there was a huge tropical palm tree that was growing in a pink pot the leaves were touching the ceiling, which made all the difference to the room and gave it that tropical exotic feel. On the wall facing the bed the royal teens were lounging on was a TV screen attached to the wall And on the other side next to the hot tub there was a huge stereo system that was just shouting out to be put on full blast and partied too. At the back of the room a huge glass window took up the entire wall allowing her to see outside of the castle grounds and into the distance, to her disappointment she couldn't see any oceans but squinting carefully in the very distance she could see a faint blue line she wasn't sure if it was her eyes playing tricks on her.

"Yeah… I guess the rooms alright" Vegeta shrugged with his eyes still closed. "My quarters are the ones opposite." He said his tail flicked underneath him in a content manner.

"Hey… where's my father staying…"? Bulma asked in a worried tone, she hadn't thought about that her dad had a terrible snoring problem what if he was in the room next door or worse perhaps she was going to have to share.

"I think he's in the same hall as my father." Vegeta paused almost waiting for a response from Bulma, he didn't get one.

Sighing he continued, "On the other side of the castle."

Bulma's eyes suddenly lit up, her overprotective father had finally lost control, he wouldn't know if she was even on the Planet half the time. At last she would get the freedom she had longed for!

"Well the beds comfy-" Bulma giggled as she laid back onto another pillow next to where Vegeta was lying she closed her eyes also.

Vegeta just smiled glancing at her quickly, she looked really attractive sprawled out on the bed like that he couldn't help but notice she had a great figure and the sexiest hair colour he had ever seen.

"So… what is happening with this war?" Bulma asked whispering under her breath as she turned herself and faced Vegeta who was looking at her, he blushed and quickly sat up on the bed.

" I only know what you probably already know about the teaming situation with our Planets. It should be happening some time in a couple of years- depend on the circumstances and how fast we can build up our armies nobody must hear a word or we will all die a slow and painful death I'm sure." Vegeta said rubbing his temples with his hands.

"Headache?" Bulma said simply raising her eyebrows. It was a bit of an underestimation, he looked exhausted.

"I'm fine, I'll be better in a couple of days when faggot breathe leaves."

"Is it that bad." Bulma said quietly as she held the pillow for comfort, she just wanted to hug the spiky haired prince.

A few moments of silence seemed to be the end of that conversation; Vegeta seemed deep in thoughts about something, quickly she tried to change the subject.

"Well… I better be getting unpacked- clothes don't unpack themselves especially when you have ugly mutated lizards hogging all the servants!" she giggled as she pulled her head off the pillow and bounced off the bed. She pulled some capsules out and began popping them onto the floor.

"So you coming to the banquet tonight?" Vegeta asked standing up and rising steadily to his feet stretching as he got up, his necklace on his neckline was reflecting brightly in the sunlight of the room. His muscles looked gorgeous in the natural light, Bulma couldn't take her eyes off the body he owned, she'd never seen a Sayan half naked before and that second he seemed even sexier even though nothing had changed. He seemed oblivious to her ogling.

Bulma stopped her popping of the capsules almost straight away once she realised he had said about a banquet, it was the first she had heard of the event not good news for a princess.

"What banquet?" she asked pulling a puzzled face then it dawned on her it was a joke after all she would have been told before leaving her Krystallis.

"The one tonight for our favourite lord" Vegeta said sarcastically as she resumed the job of chucking the capsules on the floor. He had never seen anything like it before and was quite fascinated

Realising the seriousness in his tone, it dawned on Bulma he wasn't joking. "What am I going to wear!!!! Oh my god this is such a nightmare!!!" she said beginning to unzip the bags that had popped out from the still exploding capsules and ripping out yet more, this was going to be the fastest unpack in history. She had to find the bag with the gowns in if there was any hope of Cinderella going to the ball.

Vegeta laughed to himself as he popped a capsule it was fun letting his rage out on the plastic things and not knowing what was going to come out of them. They were pretty much bags though about twenty big bulked up suitcase like bags of clothes.

"Just wear what your wearing now, its not that informal" the prince said lazily indicating to the dark blue combat trousers and the pink crop top with her name on it.

"So you're just turning up like that no top or anything?" Bulma said shocked at the lack of clothes the prince was going to wear. Thinking about it twice she hoped he would she could just stare at that body all evening.

"Well if you say its okay… then I may as well- you know best I guess, this planet is so different to mine! It rocks!" Bulma admitted at the lack of rules the prince had tied to him, he could practically do whatever he liked. Bulma was quite attracted to the thought of her fathers face when she turned up casually dressed with the half naked prince beside her. She was building up an image in her head and she liked it.

"Hey after you finish unpacking you wanna come meet the guys?" Vegeta asked as he helped her unzip a bag and tipped the contents on the rug in the middle of the floor. Bulma panicked not the bag she wanted him to terrorise! Quickly she ushered Vegeta away before he could see the tampons and other feminine hygiene products.

"Guys?" Bulma said confused as she chucked him a different bag and began packing some CD's in a neat pile.

"Yeah the ones I train with, maybe we could hit the beach later with them. I suppose I've got to keep you company on your first day." Vegeta said emptying the contents of this bag on the floor also; unfortunately for Bulma it was a clothes bag.

"Sexy underwear Princess" he said smirking as he poured out the lingerie, Bulma didn't know which way to look, and he was doing it deliberately now.

"That's it no more packing." she said as she snatched the offending bag off him and chucked it behind her it was empty though because all the clothes were in a pile on the floor, he was packing a mans way and by the looks of it trying to sneak at her belongings.

Then she caught on to what he said before this and began to get excited.

"Wow! The beach! Yes you do have one!" she said as she remembered her other pocket and pulled out her last two capsules and chucked them on the floor.

"I could have done them your highness." Vegeta said sarcastically secretly he wanted to he liked popping the mysterious Capsules.

Bulma just laughed at his kid like behaviour and shook her head no way was she letting him loose on anymore bags or capsules.

"Pack later. Leave it for the slaves to do in a couple of days." Vegeta said stepping over the clothes and leaving them in the middle of the floor. Bulma raised an eyebrow at his carefree attitude; defiantly bought up different to her she was liking this way of life more and more and she'd only been on the Planet a few minutes.

"What I'll do let you meet a couple of the guys if there not out on a mission, show you the beach quickly, come back fill our faces at the banquet, then I'll give you a tour of the palace. Yeah?" Vegeta said in one breath as he opened up the door.

"Yeah cool" Bulma agreed getting up then she remembered something.

"Oh yeah and this is my surf board!" she said as she bent down and picked up a large surf board from the floor and propped it up against the wall. It was a sparkling blue colour that seemed to match her hair her name was engraved with gold letters on the back.

"Sweet you surf too. I'll have to show you some secret spots." Vegeta said smiling, it was a great coincidence they had the same taste in sport he liked surfing to cool off after training.

"So- we best be going to meet these friends then, I'll just take my phone I've got contact my mother." she said as she picked up her phone from the pile and flipped up the lid to make sure it was okay after the journey and the capsules exploding. Vegeta pulled a weird look like she had done something really stupid.

"What?" she said confused, he looked like he was going to laugh at her.

"Why do you have such outdated equipment? Don't you have a scouter.?" He snorted beginning to laugh.

"Shut it. I'll have you know this is top of the range! And no what the hells a scouter." She growled rubbing her cute pink phone.

"My you are primitive, so much to learn that's a third world piece of equipment here these days."

"Shut it."

"You can use my scouter," he suggested grinning at her growing anger.

"No im fine thanks." She said stubbornly grabbing the card off the table.

Then she noticed the metal chain glistening in the light around his neck again.

"Wow that necklace looks really sexy on you!" she burst out all of a sudden then blushed after realising what she had just let slip.

Vegeta didn't seem to hear fortunately for Bulma she wouldn't want to make his head any bigger.

"Lets go meet up with these geeks then" she said teasingly as she opened up the door and slipped out in front of Vegeta then held it open for him.

"Thanks princess" he said sarcastically at what she had said to him earlier when he had held the door for her.

She just smiled in return and slipped her card through the slot in the door locking it behind them.

They both walked side-by-side back down to the front part of the palace.

"So what are you doing with your primitive device."? Vegeta asked curiously as he turned the corner and noticed Bulma tapping on her phone.

"Nothing much, I'm just telling a pig head how much of a pig he is." Bulma said angrily tapping all the buttons on her phone with super speed. "My dumb arranged fiancé" she then began to sob, this subject always upset her one way or another.

"Fiancée!?" Vegeta was completely taken aback. He'd frozen to the spot, Bulma stopped walking too and the sobs soon turned to real crying.

The heir didn't know what to do, he'd never had a girl crying to him before or not because of someone else anyway; maybe because of things he had said in the past. Something inside him wanted to hold her but he couldn't pull himself to it felt wrong.

Trying to hold back his instincts he backed a step away but a few moments later something struck inside him walking forwards he began to cradle Bulma in his muscular arms, whilst stroking her long blue silky hair. Never before had he felt hair as soft it was addictive. Bulma responded to this by burying her head in his chest and mumbling how wrong it was and how she was confused and depressed.

Vegeta didn't say anything he just continued to hug her and petted her hair in a soothing way, it seemed to comfort her as she stopped crying and seemed to be deep in thoughts, he was too thinking about what he was doing. What was this girl doing to him? Never before had he had deep feelings his mind was always in control he'd only known her a few minutes and she was playing tricks with him.

Bulma closed her eyes soaking up the moment as if it was never going to end; from far away they were so close they would have looked as one.

"I wont let you get upset Onna" he whispered as he pulled away from the hug silently he led her along the corridor holding her hand soothingly.

They didn't notice the dark mysterious figure looming behind them…
