The Crystal in The Night
Bulma quickly put her clothes back on. "I'm going to go shower." She said, trying not to watch as Vegeta put himself back together.
"Great, I'm going to clean up a little down here." Vegeta said, adjusting himself in his pants and turning his back to her to hide the red blush spreading across his face.
Bulma turned and made a beeline up the stairs and into the bedroom. She went straight to the mirror to see the bruise forming around the area Vegeta just bit. "What the fuck is happening." She said ghosting her hands over the tender area.
A soft knock was heard at the bathroom door. Bulma opened to see Vegeta standing there holding a cloth full of ice. "I know humans don't heal as fast as Saiyans, so I brought ice." He said handing it to her then quickly walking away. Bulma looked down at the cloth and smiled. She closed the door and placed the ice on her neck. Right as it touched her skin she felt a sharp sting of pain and then the heat between her legs started again.
Downstairs Vegeta was trying to keep himself preoccupied with looking around the study to not think of his actions just minutes before. He sat at the desk and rifled through the drawers. Pulling out papers and skimming over them then placing them back. Before Vegeta knew it, it had been almost an hour. "Have you found anything interesting?" Bulma asked.
Vegeta turned to look at her standing in the doorway. She had changed into a large blue tshirt and sweatpants that hung off of her. Vegeta zeroed in on the mark on her neck then quickly turned around. "No, just a lot of notes and little drawings." He said before clearing his throat.
"What kind of drawings?" Bulma asked, walking over to the bookshelf and pulling out a big red book.
Vegeta held up the paper and showed Bulma the picture. There was a group of 7 little glowing orange balls that looked exactly like the one she had in her chest. Bulma walked briskly to the kitchen grabbing the chest then headed back to the study and pulled out the ball to show Vegeta.
Vegeta examend the item in Bulma's dainty hands. "This looks very familiar, what is the name?" He asked as Bulma handed over the ball.
"Well from what my father's journal says they're called Dragon Balls, they hold this great power where they can answer any wish you want." She said. "So from the looks of it there are seven of them." Bulma said as Vegeta handed her back the ball so she could put it back in her chest. "The only thing they can't do is bring somebody back from the dead if they've died of natural causes." She said softly.
Vegeta looked at the pained look that grazed her face. All he wanted to do was hold her but he decided against it. "I believe this is the reason Frieza is after you, you are the daughter of the famed scientist John Briefs and you would be the only one in this entire galaxy with the expertise and knowledge about this subject." He said, turning to sit back down at the desk. "Is there anything else in that chest?" He asked, motioning to it.
She opened the chest back up and removed the plush pillow the ball was sitting on. Under it was a small compass and what looked to be a capsule. Bulma pulled them out looking very puzzled. "This is a prototype capsule my father built, it holds any type of object needed no matter the size." She handed Vegeta the capsule so he could inspect it. "Don't press the button on top, we don't know how big the item inside is." Bulma said, quickly before he could do anything. "And this, I have no clue what it is." She said inspecting the compass. She turned to look behind it but the back was blank then she pressed the button on top which brought it to life. As it turned on a small grid could be seen on the screen and a small dot was flashing. With every flash it beeped. She pressed the button again and it turned off. "Okay, well I've figured out how to turn it on." She said looking at Vegeta. "I think I'll do a little more research in the morning, I think we should both get some sleep." She said placing the compass and the capsule Vegeta handed to her back into the chest, then placed the pillow and Dragon Ball back inside.
She watched as Vegeta started to clear off the little couch that was in the room. "You can sleep upstairs if you want…with me." She said as her cheeks turned red. "I don't mind." Bulma then looked down at the floor trying to save herself the embarrassment.
Vegeta walked over to her, placing his finger under her chin and lifting her head up. He looked into the beautiful pools that were her eyes then slowly kissed her. He grabbed her throat slowly grazing the mark he left. Bulma gasped at the feeling. As he pulled back he leaned his forehead on hers. "Okay." Was all he said as he allowed himself to be pulled upstairs.
Bulma removed the sweatpants she was wearing and handed them over to Vegeta. He stared at her knowing she still wore no panties underneath the oversized shit. She laid down first. Vegeta removed his spandex top and bottom, a little embarrassed by Bulma staring. She smiled when she noticed this. He pulled the sweat pants on and climbed into bed. Vegeta laid on his back and motioned for Bulma to come closer. Again she smiled and scooted over, placing her head on his chest and her arm across his waist. Vegeta's tail snaked its way under her and came up laying itself lazily across her waist. Quietly they drifted off to sleep.
On board Frieza's ship the King and Queen were being held in separate cells. "Why are you doing this?" Oonyan asked, grabbing the bars.
"Why you ask?" Frieza said then cackled. "Because I deserve to rule the galaxy." He said leaning in on the bars. "I have sat back way too long and watched as this galactic federation argues about every little detail about this galaxy." Frieza stood back up and placed his arms behind his back.
"What about the peace treaty, you are committing acts of war and treason." The King said sitting on the bed in the cell.
Frieza scoffed. "You mean the treaty that my planet was told to sign or we'd be throwin into a war that we were bound to lose." Frieza smirked as he paced. "I came here for something and the only person who can give me that works under you, so you either give me the scientist or die." He said, crossing his arms.
The King and Queen looked over at each other wide eyed at the realization that Frieza knew who Bulma was. Frieza rolled his eyes. "Her father stole information from me and I wish to have it back." Frieza stood close to the King's cell.
"What is this information?" Vegeta sr asked as he slowly stood to his feet.
Frieza turned to look at the King. "None of your business, monkey." He smirked. In an instant the King was holding Frieza by his neck.
"You wish to die?" He said as he squeezed tighter on his neck. "I can make it happen." The King made a Ki ball in his hand and raised it up.
Frieza, grabbing at his wrist, smirked. "Too late." Frieza said as he shot a laser beam of Ki through the King's heart.
The King's hand slowly let go as his body dropped to the floor. The Queen let out a blood curdling scream. "You monster!" She shouted looking at her husband.
"Give me the woman." Frieza got into the Queen's face.
She spat right into his face. "Fuck you, you bastard." She said then looked over at her husband's body.
Frieza smirked and wiped the spit from his face. "Very well." He said then walked out of the hangar.
Back at the evacuation sight. Bardock was meeting with the leaders of each planet who failed to make it onto a ship, Kakarot was ensuring everyone had proper medical attention and Raditz was leading a small team to find any survivors. "Raditz have you found any sign of the Prince? He only has a basic 3rd class scouter so the emergency frequency isn't going to work on that." Bardock said through his scouter.
"Nothing yet father." Raditz continued on to find anybody.
"Can you guys check if there are any other doctors? We are stretched thin enough as it is and there are many people who are injured." Kakarot said, while handing a man bandages and delegating him to a small section of people.
"I'll try and find any, and Raditz, anyone you find who is not injured, ask them if they're a doctor." Bardock said.
"Got it." Raditz took to the sky to get a view of the whole garden. Raditz scanned the entire area till something caught his eyes. He flew over to the back of the garden. When he landed he looked down at the many footprints, the ones that stuck out to him were the ones that held the royal seal of Vegetasi. He smelled the air and got a hint of the Prince's scent, along with Bulma's.
Raditz sped back to the palace looking for his father. "Father" He said, running over to him. "I found traces of Vegeta and Bulma, they escaped through the back of the garden." Raditz pointed towards where he noticed it.
Raditz took Bardock over to where he found the footprints and the scent. Bardock squeezed through the small opening and looked at the ground around it. "There is no sign of a struggle, so these other footprints followed them." Bardock looked in the direction of where the prints went. "We know the Prince can handle himself, and we don't have a definite location for where they are so we must stay put till we get proper word."
