Chapter 5

"Woman, you're coming with me." He grabbed her by the arm and began to drag her into his room. He wasn't gentle whatsoever, Bulma yelped in pain and was about to protest but quickly decided against it. He wasn't going to listen to her anyway.

Finally, Vegeta stopped in front of his door and quickly let go of Bulma as if she was a boiling hot pan. With out bothering to see if she was walking right behind him, he pushed through the door and yelled out, "Raditts get your carcass out here now!" He then looked at Bulma and glared at her with the utmost contempt. "You have better been telling me the truth woman, I have wasted enough time in this matter." Vegeta finished off by looking away from her.

"BULMA!" she said in an annoyed tone. She wasn't very keen on the idea of being referred to as "woman." In fact now that she thought about it, most men did refer to her as just that. Was it because she was in fact the only female in the ship? It didn't matter to her, she didn't want to go through life without a name!

"What?" asked a puzzled Vegeta, this woman was more trouble than what she was worth! He gave her a strange look as he saw her shake in anger.

"My name is Bul-ma! Get it? Or should I write it down on paper so you could comprehend it?" she screeched out loud, she then huffed and crossed her arms like she would when she was a child when she didn't get what she wanted.

Vegeta was taken back, where did that come from? He wasn't expecting her to blow up like that, she had guts to talk to the prince like that. Anyone who spoke to him like that would die a slow painful death. Instead of getting worked up he surprisingly smirked at her and said in a taunting tone," Bulma, that name suits you well."

Bulma's eyes almost bulged out, did he just compliment her? "wha-at? Are you serious?" Bulma said, trying to conceal her smile but failing miserably. Her eyes began to flicker with hope as she leaned in to hear his response, completely missing the sarcasm in vegeta's voice.

"Yes, both are completely ridiculous and atrocious. I've never heard of a more pitiful name." Vegeta said mockingly, pleased with the reaction he got from her. He found that he liked pissing her off, the woman was comical.

Before Bulma got a chance to think it through, she clumsily lunged herself on Vegeta and attempted to choke him, not like she could actually hurt him. "Arrrghh, now hold still you jerk!" She said through her grit teeth. At first Vegeta just looked at her oddly, letting her actually get a hold of him, but after a few seconds she heard someone cough awkwardly behind her. Both her and Vegeta turned and found a very dumbfounded Raddits standing uncomfortably across from them. He was shocked to find the girl with her two hands wrapped around his neck and Vegeta just standing there.

Bulma quickly let go of Vegeta and began to dust off imaginary dust from her shirt, trying to avoid Raddits shocked expression

Vegeta was the first to explain, "It seems this woman has information on Kakarot's whereabouts." Vegeta said emphasizing the word woman obviously trying to aggravate her even further. Bulma then got the sudden urge to stick her tongue out at him but refrained herself, she just scoffed and turned to Raddits.

It seemed that what Vegeta had just said didn't register through his head fast enough. It took a few seconds for him to recompose himself and when he looked at Bulma he said, "My brother died years ago, it's simply impossible." He said in disbelief. If he were alive, he would have reported back from his first long ago.

"Well actually, his name is Goku. From what he told me as a child was that he had no recollection of his past or even his name for the matter. He was raised on planet Earth, but he didn't act human. He had a tail and an insane appetite much like yours." Referring to both men, Bulma looked back at Vegeta, who was listening intently to her speak.

"Oh and I almost forgot to mention, if he ever looked up at a full moon he would transform into a giant ape! I don't know if that's a saiyan thing though? Bulma said shuddering to that last statement. She remembered the first time Goku transformed, she was terrified! One minute they were all laughing and talking as they lay in the grass under the stars and full moon, the next they were being attacked by a giant ape! Luckily Krillin and Yamcha got the situation under control otherwise she would have been smashed into a pancake!

She was snapped back from her thoughts when she heard Raddits say to Vegeta, "That's my brother Kakarot, he was sent to planet Earth as his first mission before our planet was destroyed." Raddits finished with a slight frown appearing.

"You mean to tell me you knew where he was this whole time and didn't feel the need to inform me on this!?" Vegeta was pissed, Nappa didn't tell him that he was sent right before planet Vegeta was destroyed, he just assumed Kakarot just never reported back. He looked at Raddits expectantly, waiting for him to have a plausible explaination.

"I didn't think he was alive Vegeta! C'mon that planet was never destroyed, he didn't complete his mission so I figured he died before he even got there!" Raddits said trying to reason with Vegeta. Truth be told, Raddits wasn't sure why he never told Vegeta about it, perhaps because he knew that Vegeta would want to go and search for him. He thought it would be a waste of time, why look for someone who was dead!?

"You imbecile! You kept this shit from me!? You're a disgrace to me Raddits, you better prepare yourself for the beating of your lifetime tomorrow during our training session!" Vegeta yelled out to the tall warrior.

Bulma stifled a laugh, It was strangely funny to see Raddits cower to Vegeta. Raddits was easily three times the size of him for crying out loud!

Vegeta then stormed out of the room without saying a word, clearly pissed by the entire situation, leaving Bulma and Raddits alone in the room. She didn't know what to say to him, was he mad at her for telling Vegeta about Goku? She hoped not.

Raddits looked at her and let out a deep breath, so his brother was alive? He felt strange knowing he had an actual family member out in the universe. He couldn't help but be a little curious about him and decided to ask the girl, "Kakarot…does he…look like me? He said trying to put his train of thoughts together.

Bulma shook her head in a 'yes' motion and smiled, "very much, you have longer hair and you're a lot bigger than he is. Other than that the resemblance is uncanny!" she finished.

Raddits just grunted in response. "Can you tell me more about him..?" Raddits said awkwardly, he wasn't used to talking to anyone besides Nappa and Vegeta.

"Uhh sure…" Bulma then began with how she came to meet him and all of their crazy adventures. She talked for what seemed hours, until she finally noticed that Raddits hadn't said a single word. She felt a little self-conscious when she stopped speaking and all he did was stare at her.

"Hey, did I say something…" Bulma asked unsure of what she had said to him.

"You mentioned about the dragon balls in your story, so it really grants you any wish?" Raddits asked amazed at the prospect of having any wish granted.

"Uhh well pretty much, yes." Bulma answered slowly. Perhaps she should have left out that little part from her stories. She hardly knew this guy, even if he was Goku's brother he wasn't pure hearted like he was.

"This is definitely going to interest Vegeta, we have heard about the magical balls. Yet we believed them to be nothing more than a urban legend." Raddits told Bulma.

"Wait, you have heard about the dragon balls!? That means Freeza must of heard of them too…SHIT!" Bulma cursed outloud. Was Earth really safe as he promised?

"Well, I don't think he has or else he would have gone and most likely used them." He reassured her. "Besides, we heard it long ago, but it wasn't the balls you speak of Earth. We never found out what planet they exist on. Vegeta ordered us never to speak of it to anyone, he didn't want any of Freeza's men to get a wind of it.

Bulma gave him a puzzled look. Why did he refer to them as Freeza's men? Weren't they as well? She needed to know, "What do you mean? Aren't you guys part of Freeza's army?"

Raddits then snapped his head up higher at her question, he decided that Vegeta would certainly be pissed if he continued to feed her any more information. He didn't even know her! She could be Freeza's spy for all he knew!

"Uhh, no nothing, disregard the last comment. You should get going before Vegeta returns. He will get angry if you are still here." Raddits said as he rose and began to usher her out of his quarters.

"Oh okay, hey wait." Bulma said as she looked back at him. "Can we talk again... some other time that is?" She asked him taking him by surprise.

"of course. Now go on girl, and do not tell anyone about what we talked about alright?" He said menacingly. Yet Bulma only laughed at him and nodded. She wasn't afraid of him, surprisingly. She kinda felt…safe?

Bulma walked back to her room, she shook her head a few times trying to get her thoughts in order. She needed to find out about the other dragon balls he spoke about. She figured she'd ask Leo in the morning.
