Bulma was scared. "Where in the world am I?" She said to no one in
particular. A quick look around the grassy open area confirmed her fear as
to wear she was. "Namek." She stated flatly.
~But this doesn't make any sense! Namek was destroyed! How can I be
here?!!~ Her thoughts were suddenly cut short when she heard what
sounded like someone getting hit. Hard.
She nervously made her way around one of the rock formations to see
were what sounded like fighting was going on. As she rounded the corner,
she stopped dead in her tracks at what she saw.
There was Freezer, pounding away on a already very badly beaten Vegeta.
Bulma's hands shot up to her mouth in horror as Freezer suddenly
slammed him into the ground.
~Oh Kami! I've got to do something!~ She found, however that she couldn't
move and was somehow teleported over next to Vegeta.
She quickly bent down to help him but it was if he didn't even know she
was there. ~What in the....?~
Suddenly Freezer landed next to the fallen prince and wrapped his tail
around his neck. He lifted him off of the ground and Vegeta's neck started
to make sickening cracking sounds as Freezer tightened his hold on the
prince.
Bulma couldn't move. She was frozen solid with fear. She could now feel
hot tears sliding down her face as she hopelessly watched.
Freezer than began to slam his fist in Vegeta's back again and again and
again...Bulma couldn't take it anymore. ~Stop it. Stop it! STOP IT!~ "STOP
IT!!!!!" She fell to the ground crying but the torture for the hapless prince
wasn't over yet.
Freezer than began to smash his fist in the young warrior's face and
stomach. And when he realized that Vegeta was nearly unconscious, he
threw him hard against a pile of rocks so that Vegeta's imprint was still
there after he fell to the ground.
Bulma was in hysterics. Here she was, watching him get killed and there
wasn't a thing that she could do about it. The scene than suddenly
switched and Goku was there standing next to the fallen Vegeta. The next
thing she knew, Vegeta was shot threw the heart by a blast from Freezer.
"Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!" Was all that she could manage to scream as she
desperately ran over to where he was.
She began sobbing hysterically as Vegeta told Goku and the others why he
had been the way he had, how he had been taken away from his father as
a small boy and forced to do whatever Freezer had wanted. She saw the
tears running down his face and she just cried right along with him. His last
words were, "Freezer made me into what I am.....Please don't let him do it
to anyone else..." and than he died what he must of thought to be
unwanted, unmourned and unloved. ~You're wrong~ She thought bitterly.
~You died wanted, mourned and...loved. I loved you.....~
Bulma suddenly shot up in bed, her clothes stuck to her from sweat. She
was crying uncontrollably and was finding it hard to breathe. That's when
she realized that it had been a dream, or what should be called a
nightmare. But it was more than that. It was a vision of what had happened
on Namek that she hadn't seen. Vegeta's horrible and brutal death. Just
hearing about it had sent horrible chills up her spine, but to SEE it, well,
that was something else. ~Why me? Why did I have to see that? And what
was it I had said in the vision? That I... I....Loved....him....~ It felt odd to
acknowledge it, but she knew it was true. She had NEVER felt this way
about ANYBODY, not even Yamcha.
She could hear the wind howling as it intensified outside. She shivered
from a wave of fright that washed over her. Almost instinctively she knew
what she needed to do to get comfort. She jumped out of bed and ran
down the hall towards the stairs.
Vegeta layed there listening to the raging winds outside of the corporation
building. But suddenly, amongst the howling wind, his acute hearing picked
up the sound of a sobbing human running down the stairs.
He immediately came to his full senses and instant concern that something
had happened. It was a hurricane after all. He was just sitting up as Bulma
burst into the living room.
She didn't think twice about it she just simply dived at him and began to
sob uncontrollably into his muscular chest.
Vegeta didn't know what to do. His mind raced with a million thoughts at
once. But despite his mind telling him to get the hell away from the pitiful
human, he almost subconsciously put his arms around her waist and
pulled her closer to him. He started to stroke her silken hair and quietly
whispered, "It's ok Bulma. Just tell me what's wrong..." ~Oh for Kami's
sake what was that?!!! What the hell is wrong with me?!~ He was even
more surprised at himself for enjoying this closeness with the beautiful
woman.
Bulma was shocked to hear the gentle tone in which he had spoken to her.
She lifted her tear streaked face to his so that she could see the
expression on his face.
He smiled at her without the usual cockiness, it was gentle almost tender.
And in his eyes she could see a softness that she hadn't before, but it was
mixed a type of uncertainty. She didn't waste a moment and she felt his
body tense as she lifted her face to his and lightly brushed his lips with her
own.
Vegeta's heart began to beat wildly in his chest and he was having a VERY
hard time restraining himself from doing anything rash. ~What am I
DOING?! I can't do this...I...Oh screw it...~
Bulma was slightly surprised when he pressed his lips harder against hers,
intensifying it. The blood thundered in her ears as she returned the kiss
with just as much passion. Her hands travelled up from his chest to behind
his neck and entangled in his unruly hair.
Vegeta was losing his composure. Fast. His hands ran over her shapely
body trying to be every place at once. He had never in his entire life
wanted something so bad. He had felt like he was going insane just by her
gaze, leave alone THIS. He was shocked at how hungry he was for her
and how she returned this need.
Bulma's mind was racing a hundred miles a minute with delicious thoughts.
It was so different with Vegeta than it had been with Yamcha. She had
never felt so much desire for one person or thing in her entire life. Her
hands lovingly caressed his over strong back making a small moan escape
from his lips. The sound of that sent vibrations through her body. For the
first time, in a long time, something finally felt right and meant to be. They
say you always know when you've found your destined one true love, and
she knew that finally she had found hers. ~Oh Vegeta......~
