The Crystal in The Night
Bulma and Kakarot talked for a long time. They talked about how they knew where to go, what they found once they got there and what happened between her and Vegeta. "You know Chichi is going to be mad she didn't know about you guys first." He said, chuckling.
"She technically knew first because I told her what happened before the ball." Bulma chuckled at Kakarot's face. They both jumped at the door swinging open.
"If you two are done gossiping we've come up with a plan." Vegeta stood at the door glaring at Kakarot. The bigger man stood and gave a soft smile to Bulma and patted Vegeta on the shoulder as he walked by. "Are you okay?" He asked when he knew Kakarot was out of ear shot.
Bulma smiled and nodded as she got up to follow Vegeta down stairs.
Once everyone was sitting, Raditz started the rundown of the plan. "Okay so once we get to the evacuation camp we'll discuss all of this with dad to see if he has any changes." Everyone nodded except for Bulma.
"Okay where do I come into play?" She asked, looking at everyone at the table.
"I told you this wasn't going to work." Raditz said as Nappa nodded his head looking over to Vegeta.
Bulma's eyes landed on Vegeta who wasn't making eye contact with her. "Vegeta, where do I come into play?" She asked again, waiting for his answer.
He sighed and grabbed her walking out of the house. He turned to her and took a deep breath. "You're staying here with Nappa." He said, quickly.
Bulma's eyes flashed with shock. "You're telling me I'm going to be staying here as all of you fight for something that I'm the biggest player of." She felt rage boiling in the pit of her stomach. "Hell no!" Bulma shouted. "You can't be fucking serious. I'm not about to sit here waiting not knowing what's happening." Bulma was almost shaking with rage.
"Woman I-" Vegeta was quickly cut off by Bulma.
"I don't care what you have to say, I'm not staying here and there's no way you can stop me." She said, crossing her arms.
Vegeta sighed again, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Why are you so fucking stubborn, I'm trying to save you please just let me do this!" Vegeta said, putting base in his voice. "I will not watch you die because you want to play hero with people who are out to capture or kill you." His voice was low and for the first time ever Bulma saw pleading in his eyes.
"I don't want to sit back and knowingly let people die for me." She said looking into his eyes.
Vegeta's eyes darkened. "FUCK!" He yelled looking at the sky. "Why must you be so stubborn?" He zeroed his eyes in on her
"The same reason you are because I know what I want is right!" She yelled back at him. "You think I can't handle myself and that I need someone to save me, you're asking me to do something that you know I wouldn't ever do." Bulma looked away from him, too upset to look at him.
He groaned low. "I know you can handle yourself, that isn't the problem!" He said through gritted teeth.
Bulma scoffed. "Then what is the problem Vegeta?" She asked. "Because right now I'm hearing a lot of bullshit." Bulma uncrossed her arms and placed her hands on her hips.
"Bullshit?" Vegeta's eyes widened. "Oh definitely, I'm bullshitting you because I don't want you to die." He chuckled. "I don't know what's happening with my mother and father, my kingdom is going to shit and the woman I deeply care for is trying to get herself killed but yeah I'm 1000% bullshitting you." Vegeta walked over to her and grabbed her by the arm. "Please for once can you do as I say?" He said softly.
"No" Bulma said instantly. "I will not, so you either make a new plan or have to track me because I decided to make my own." She tried to snatch herself from his grasp.
Vegeta pulled her closer to him and placed his forehead on hers. "Me chaining you to the house wouldn't work either would it." He asked, closing his eyes.
"I'd already have a plan to get out before you could even lock it." Bulma chuckled.
Vegeta lifted his head from hers and sighed. He looked down at the mark he made then up to her eyes. "You stay with Kakarot the whole time, the minute you leave his side is the minute I find you and take you back." Vegeta looked for her agreement.
"You had this plan the whole time didn't you?" She asked, scowling at him.
Vegeta let out an airy laugh. "I was hoping, knowing the circumstances we're in, you would just agree." He shook his head. "Like always your stubbornness out weighs mine." Bulma smiled at his statement as he pulled her in for a kiss. Before they could make contact they heard whistling behind them.
"This is a nice little show but we got shit to do." Raditz said, earning him a punch in the arm from his brother and Nappa.
Bulma's face reddened and Vegeta let out an annoyed sigh looking at the man over her shoulder. "Grab what you need, we leave in 2 minutes."
As the group walked through the evacuation sight Bulma was shocked with how many people they were able to get out. "There are 3 more sights down that way." Kakarot said, pointing in the direction of the other camps. "Father said it's too dangerous to have that many people in one sight so we divided them and there are 2 generals to each camp with this being the main one." Bulma nodded her head receiving this information. People stopped to bow or audibly gasp as they saw Vegeta walking through the camp.
Bulma was still looking around at all the tents when she heard her name being called. She turned to look behind her and saw her best friend running towards her. Bulma started sprinting towards Chichi, once they got to each other they grabbed one another into a tight hug that Bulma never wanted to release. "I was so worried that you hadn't got out." Chichi said as tears ran down her eyes. "When Goku told me they had found you and Vegeta's tracks I almost fainted with relief." She rubbed her friends back.
Bulma's eyes were hot as tears fell from her eyes too. "I missed you so much and it's only been like three or four days." Bulma chuckled as she stroked her friend's long black hair.
They finally let go and looked over each other. When Bulma saw no marks on her friend she sighed in relief. Chichi's eyes were staring straight at her neck. "We have a lot to talk about." Bulma blushed at her friend's words.
Chichi dragged them over to a tent. It was a little bigger and had a different color than the rest. As they walked in there was a bed, a bath and cushions surrounding a small table. "This is Goku and I's tent." She motioned for the woman to sit down. "Now tell me everything." She said sitting next to Bulma.
Bulma told her of everything that happened when they escaped the castle, leaving out the juicy bits about her and Vegeta knowing her friend would want to hear those at the end. "I'm so sorry, I know you've been looking for your father for ages." Chichi said, placing her hand on Bulma's.
"Knowing he knew I was going to find where he had been was bitter sweet." Bulma said as tears started to prick at her eyes. "He knew me well enough to know I would not stop looking but he also knew I would be too late." Chichi whipped the tears from her friends eyes as she saw them fall. They sat in silence for a while, Chichi sat there comforting her friend as she cried. Bulma finally was able to stop. She sniffed and whipped the rest of her tears. "Now I can explain this." She said motioning towards her neck.
Chichi's eyes zeroed in on her neck. "Yes you can." Chichi smirked as she crossed her arms.
"We were talking at the table and he kissed me, which led to us having mind blowing sex and he unconsciously bit me." She said rubbing the spot. "I had no clue what it meant when he did it until he explained the next day." Bulma looked at her friend sheepishly.
Chichi nodded. "I had no clue either, we don't have things like that back on earth. I punched Goku in the jaw after I realized he'd bit me." They both laughed. "I thought it was some weird sex kink he had." Chichi and Bulma laughed until their faces turned red. Once they calmed down Chichi looked at Bulma and beamed. "So when did you do it back?" She said, getting up to get them some water.
"I haven't." Bulma said. "We haven't really gotten the opportunity to." Bulma looked over to Chichi who had put the water down and grabbed her friend. "Where are you taking me?" She asked, laughing.
"I'm taking you to Vegeta's tent, this needs to be done now so I can get the whole story later." Chichi said as she and her friend slightly jogged and giggled like teen girls. Once they arrived Chichi hugged Bulma then pushed her into the tent.
Vegeta's tent was massive. It held a giant bed, a full bathtub and a cart with drinks and another with food. There was also a small fire pit which lit the entire tent. Bulma looked around more, seeing candles lit around the tent giving it a glow that would've been romantic if they weren't at war. Bulma heard the front of the tent open, she turned to see Vegeta standing there with blueprints and a new armor in his hands. His eyes widened a little at seeing her there. "Hi" She said softly. He dropped everything in his hands as he closed the distance between them pulling her into a mind numbing kiss.
