Ch.5
Bulma regretted hitting him the moment that her hand had connected with his face.
She had just been unable to control her anger at that moment and now she was
afraid that she would never be able to reach out to him... ~Oh Kami... what have I
done...~
Vegeta slowly turned to look at her. His glare was enough to send chills through
the very depths of her soul.
Bulma shivered and flinched back trying desperately trying to think of something
to say to avoid a VERY nasty confrontation.
But instead of blowing up in her face he just glared at her and turned to leave.
"Vegeta...Vegeta wait! I didn't mean it I..." She frantically called after him.
Vegeta just ignored her and kept walking towards the door. Once he was outside,
he flashed his ki shield and took off into the air.
"Umm...I think that we'd better leave...ok?" Goku said after a few moments of
silence.
"Yeah, I think he's right. Well we'll see you around or something, ok Bulma?"
Krillin said nervously.
Bulma turned to look back at everyone. "Oh, ok then guys....yeah I guess I'll see
you later..."
Everyone then preceded to takeoff out of the house as fast as their legs could carry
them.
~My friends...~ She thought sarcastically to herself. She turned to look up at the
part of the sky that Vegeta had taken off in. She sighed and had to wonder if he
would EVER come back after having his colossal pride take a lashing like that.
Especially in front of whom he considered to be his mortal enemies.
~Please come back....~
Sometime later on a small island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean...
~Dammit Vegeta! What the hell is the matter with you?! You
should have rendered her to pieces!!!~
Vegeta was angrily pacing back and forth trying to find the reason why he had
NOT killed the ignorant baka. And when no legitimate reason would come to
mind, he would blow up a rock structure or tree.
He had been on the island for the most part of the day and the sun was now
starting to set. He knew that on the other side of the planet were he was staying, it
was already a couple of hours into darkness.
After a great amount of frustration, he finally sat down to rest. He was REALLY
fed up with his actions by now and he desperately needed to know what was
wrong with him. His mind began to wander back to the night before when he had
attempted to kill the woman and her baka family, but couldn't. And now he had
done nothing to her for disgracing him in front of that low class baka Kakarotto.
He cringed at the thought of his bitter rival. How could he forgive the woman for
that?! And yet he had did nothing!!
He started to play with the idea of him actually "changing his ways." But no way,
that was impossible! Wasn't it?
He finally realized that he wasn't going to come to a conclusion very quick and
blasted off the island again, making his way back to the Capsule Corporation...
At Capsule Corps...
Bulma rolled over and checked the clock on her night table. ~hmm...4:12, two
minutes since the last time I checked...~ She had gone to bed at 12:00, but had
been unsuccessful at catching a minute of sleep. She couldn't help but worry if
Vegeta was going to come back. She knew that he hadn't yet because she had been
awake the whole time. She also had to wonder why she was bothering to worry at
all for this guy...but she already knew the answer to that. She had come to the
conclusion some time ago that she truly did love Vegeta. She didn't have a good
reason for it. How could she love a guy that had ruthlessly murdered people for a
living or for the pure enjoyment of it?
But there was something different about him she was sure. The look in eyes when
he told her about the destruction of the planet that he himself had destroyed. They
were so sad. She couldn't possibly imagine what kind of a horrible life he must of
had. What with having his planet destroyed, his entire race and father along with it
and then having to be humiliated by that baka Freezer. And all when he was just a
kid...
~Poor soul, didn't have a chance...~ She thought sadly to herself. She then rolled
back over and this time fell into a restless sleep...
The next morning...
Bulma groggily opened her eyes and smiled as she heard the birds happily
chirping outside. She then heard the distinct sound of the humming that came from
the gravity room.
Her smile grew even bigger as she threw the covers off of her and jumped out of
bed. ~He's back!!~ She thought merrily to herself.
She pulled on her robe and slippers and ran out of the room and down the stairs.
"Mom! Is Vegeta back?!" She asked while gasping for air.
Her mother beamed. "Why yes he is dear! I came down this morning and found
him rummaging in the fridge for something to eat and..."
Bulma didn't wait for her mother to finish, instead she ran back up the stairs and to
the bathroom. She turned on the shower and got it regulated. She then happily
jumped in and reached for the shampoo.
"Ha! I knew you wouldn't be able to stay away for long Veggie-Chan!" She sang
triumphantly.
She had decided that she was going to try and take him out somewhere today, just
to show him around. She knew that he hadn't been ANYWHERE the whole time
he had been on Earth.
~Well, it's time that you found out what Earth is really like...~
In the gravity room...
Vegeta angrily attacked the training droids, showing them no mercy what-so-ever.
He didn't know exactly why he had come back to this place, all he knew was that
he had started flying and had ended up here.
He gathered up a huge ki ball and launched it at the last droid. But the sneaky little
thing quickly changed course and sped out of the way.
The energy headed straight for the central controls of the room.
"Kuso!" He spat as he desperately tried to cut off the ball. He remembered what
happened the last time he had let a ki ball go wild in the gravity room and he was
not about to let that happen again.
He managed to place himself in front of it just in time to shield it from the
controls, but he hadn't had the time to block himself from getting injured...
In the CC home...
Bulma had just finished dressing her new short and top set,
she heard a loud explosion coming from the gravity room.
"Good Kami! Not again!" She screeched and ran down the stairs to see her mother
and father just about to head out the door.
"I sweat that man is going to get himself killed!!" Her father raved.
Mrs. Briefs only sobbed in return as they all rushed out to the surprisingly intact
gravity room.
"Huh? I thought that the room was gone for sure!" Mr. Briefs piped up again.
Bulma gasped. "That means that he took the full explosion himself!"
Realization dawned all of them that the Saiyajin prince could very well be dead...
