Chapter 11 Goku's POV

Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball Z or anything affiliated with it.

A few weeks have gone by since Maria arrived here at capsule corp. it seemed like she started getting out of her shell since that first day she was here. At that time it was painfully quiet other than the sounds of all of us eating. The girl definitely was a Saiyan with the way she ate there were mountains of plates on her end of the table and I found it endearing how shy she was at first. Now she talks regularly and I'm starting to see the smart ass in her that Vegeta described to us before. It was even better now that her strength came back and she would train with Vegeta and I often she would even be able to keep up with us. The exercise and eating well did wonders for her body she gained a healthy amount of weight and when she would wear those tighter dresses Bulma would have her put on for some dinners would complement her tight muscular body the woman was made to look like every man's dream. Every time I saw her my mouth would go dry and I could feel my face heat up more than usual. I wouldn't even be around as much as I have been if Bulma didn't force me to come all the time, it was nice not having dinner alone anymore but I knew she was trying to enforce the fact that Maria and I were paired to be together since our birth and as a result Vegeta has been more hostile towards me more than ever.

What made it worse was that I just went along with it, I wanted to be with her whenever I'm around her the world looks brighter. I felt the same way about her as I did with the world around me it meant everything to me and she was starting to create her own piece in my heart as well even if she didn't realize she was doing it.

"Kakarotto, are you done with your silly fantasies? I want to beat your face in!"

I turned while rubbing the back of my head and laughed, Vegeta wasn't one for breaks. We'd both be on the ground close to death by the time we finished sparring. We both got into our defensive positions daring each other to make the first move, but before we got a chance we heard a horrid scream. I turned to the door of the gravity chamber as it was ripped off and that small woman came bursting in with only suds covering some parts of her body.

"Vegeta! That woman Bulma hired is evil." Maria ran straight into her brother's arms almost in full swing of a panic attack with Bulma chasing after her with a robe. It wasn't too strange seeing Maria's small outburst I've seen the woman Bulma hired for their spa day, I thought she was a grown man at first. The strangest thing was seeing Vegeta of all people hold her in his arms and sooth her, he wasn't even bothered by her nakedness. I know it bothered me. Not the fact that she was naked but my reaction to it.

I'm not sure what was wrong with her and I was honestly concerned but one little peek at her wouldn't hurt right? I'm always blushing around her anyways so no one would really question it anymore. So I allowed my eyes to slowly examine her body and admired her muscular back I could see it fully this time because her hair was up in what Bulma called the sloppy bun even that had the muscles in my stomach tighten. There were small curling tendrils of hair falling from the bun and made her look even sexier. I looked down further to appreciate that firm bottom of hers but instead I caught sight of a tail which worried me at first because it must've suddenly grew back just now and when it twitched up fully I saw the reason why she was in hysterics. I stifled a laugh as I focused in on the small bald patch at the beginning of her tail, no wonder she was in such pain the woman must've taken off the hair of the tail while they were doing what Bulma called getting a Brazilian.

Vegeta questioned what the matter with her was and glared accusingly at his wife while she wrapped Maria with the robe and taking away my visual pleasure. While she stammered what happened which proved I was right about it. Vegeta's eyes widened and looked like he was going to burst I thought we was going to start cursing the woman that did this and threaten her life but instead I heard a short type of snort come. My head snapped up to see the extremely rare sight of Vegeta laughing holding onto Maria to keep him from falling over.

This was definitely a Vegeta I could get used to but little did he realize his sister had a temper as bad as him and didn't notice her body trembling in anger and embarrassment. He probably thought it was his own shaking so as expected he was caught off guard when she kicked him and sent him flying into the wall.

"It's not funny Vegeta! My tail just grew in this morning and now it's ruined thanks to that man lady better suited for the freak show than me. At least Goku has the decency not to laugh!" With that she stormed off probably to run on a treadmill or something to blow off some steam.

I looked over at Vegeta who was still laughing while clutching his side; I could tell he was extremely proud of how strong she's gotten. Hell I was proud of her even, but even so that strength just attracted me to her even more.

I was surprised she even mentioned my name I figured she never really noticed me unless we were sparring together. It was a first for her to even say my name and it was amazing I wanted her to say it again and to speak to me more. I was a desperate man when it came to her and the fact she noticed me now in her anger sprouted a new hope that my infatuation would turn out to be more than just that. I said my goodbyes to Vegeta telling him I was going for a swim seeing that both of us were now distracted from our original plans and I set off for the indoor pool and use that time to plan out my approach for the next time I met with Maria.
