Chapter 5 - Dead Souls
He woke when the moon was dipping over the horizon. The
sky was like the finest black velvet sprinkled with dazzling
diamonds.
And memory returned to him. But this time.. he felt
nothing.
Nothing but a dull ache, a vague anxiety. But he felt a
little
better. His head was still pounding, but some of the pain inside
had melted away.
But it was only temporary relief. He knew that
much. He'd
spilled his guts to that insipid moron Kakarotto on Namek right before
he'd died, but it hadn't really helped. He still missed
Vejiitasei.
He felt a bleak despair. It would never end. Nothing would ever
stop
the pain. Becoming Super Saiyan had done nothing. The only
time he really could forget was when he was with her..
Bulma.
Somehow she made him forget his pain. If only
for awhile.
But it was something. But what would happen when she died?
Humans lived far shorter life spans than Saiyans. What would he
do
then? He'd have all the old bad memories and on top of that, she
would be gone! But he didn't need to worry about that now.
Now he could complete the bond. She already
knew what he'd been
hiding from her anyway, so why not? Yet he didn't move from his
spot.
He didn't want to go back. He knew he wasn't ready to see Bulma's
memories. He knew her life had been nothing compared to
his.
What was the worst thing that had happened to her? And he knew it
would make him angry. He couldn't blame her for it though.
After all, she'd always had people to protect her,
while he'd only
had himself and his strength to keep him safe. And for a long
time
he didn't even have that.
It didn't matter. The only thing that mattered
was making Bulma
his forever. The degree of need he felt for her worried him, but
none of it mattered. Whatever may come he would deal with
later.
He trusted her. He wanted to be with her. No one else. He
couldn't
imagine being with anyone else.
Decision made he stood quickly, ignoring the head
rush and took off
towards home. It took him fifteen minutes before he was floating
gracefully outside their room.
She was within, and sleeping from the feel of her
ki. He smiled
and slowly lowered himself to the balcony and quietly stepped
inside.
She lay naked, sprawled over the mattress, the thin sheets leaving
little
to the imagination. He couldn't stop the grin that appeared on
his
face. Had she been waiting for him to return last night? Or
had she just felt like sleeping naked? Both thoughts made him
smile.
She was so beautiful lying there. Her long, aqua mane spread out
in a riot over the pillow. He soft, creamy breasts, both exposed to his
view. He quickly removed his clothes and crawled into bed. He lay
down next to her and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her
close.
He gently kissed her soft cheek and sniffed her hair which never failed
to smell like her favorite fruit.
He liked strawberries too. He had always liked
to eat all of
them as soon as she bought them just to piss her off. He still did it,
any time she got them. He softly chuckled, remembering some of
their
more memorable fights over the red berries.
Bulma suddenly stirred next to him, softly yawning
and stretching with
in the confines of his arms. Her eyes slowly opened and she
blinked
rapidly as the intruding sunlight made her eyes sting. She felt
him
lying next to her, holding her and she sighed pleasurably, slowly
pulling
her leg up to drape across his waist.
"Hi." She murmured, yawning again.
"Hi." He replied.
"How are you?" she asked reopening her eyes to
examine him closely.
He met her gaze without flinching
"Better." He replied easily. She
blinked. He did look
better.
He looked almost happy.
He wasn't really smiling, but he didn't look
angry either. He looked.. content.
"Good. I'm glad." She said and kissed him
softly on the lips.
He immediately leaned forward, his tongue sliding past her lips.
She accepted the soft appendage and hers met his and briefly danced as
they each began to caress the other.
Suddenly a thin cry filled the air. Vegeta jerked in surprise
and sat up.
"Shit." Bulma said softly. "Bura is up." She
stood and walked
over to her robe that was thrown across a chair in the corner of the
room.
Vegeta scowled but said nothing. "Let me go feed her really quick
and I'll be back." Vegeta nodded wordlessly and lay back down
with
a sigh. He had almost forgotten about his new daughter. He
stared at Bulma's butt as she walked out and then turned his gaze to
the
ceiling.
He yawned and closed his eyes. He was still a
little drained
from the night before, but it was nothing too terrible. He had
more
than enough strength for what he meant to do next. But still, the
bed was comfortable and he wouldn't fall asleep for at least fifteen
minutes
or more. By that time Bulma would be back. Minutes later he
was fast asleep.
Bulma called her mother on the other side of the compound.
"Mom."
"Yes, dear?"
"Can you watch Bura for a little bit?"
"Sure honey, bring her over!" Bulma said
goodbye, hung up , and
began to dress Bura. Then she filled Bura's diaper bag with more
than was necessary, but she wasn't sure how long she and Vegeta would
be
"busy". Trunks was spending the weekend at the Son's, thank
Kami.
So she didn't have to worry about him barging in. she packed
everything
in the stroller and strapped Bura in and walked over to her mom and
dad's
rooms.
When she returned to her room, Vegeta was sound asleep. She
blinked
in amazement. What the hell had happened? She'd been a half
hour at the most. Had he slept at all? He never slept
during the day. She lay down next to him, not bothering to
undress
and just stared into his face. She scooted as close as she could
without touching him, not wanting to wake him.
He always looked so damn cute when he was
asleep. Yet she hardly ever got
to see him like that. He always was up before her and she always
fell
asleep probably hours before he did.
Well, he has plenty of time to sleep later, she
thought as she
leaned forward and planted a small kiss on his cheek.
"Vegeta." She murmured as she began to trail kisses
down his
jaw and neck. His eyes immediately opened and he sighed,
stretching
underneath her. He reached above him, his back arching and Bulma
took the opportunity to trail kisses down his chest. He enveloped
her in his arms and pulled her close.
She waited for her clothes to get ripped to shreds,
but it didn't happen.
Instead he began to slowly cover her with kisses. Bulma sighed
pleasurably.
Yamcha had never made her feel so wanted. She felt like the
princess
she'd always wanted to be in the arms of her handsome prince. She
reached down to his tail spot and began to gently massage it. He
gasped in her ear and his grip tightened and without warning he bit
down
on her neck. She gasped as the pain turned into a wave of
pleasure
and decided to return the favor. She bit down on his throat and
felt
him jerk beneath her as she broke his skin with surprising ease.
His warm, strangely sweet blood flooded her mouth and she swallowed
without
hesitation.
Their resulting bout of lovemaking was almost
violent, but neither
felt pain, only pleasure. And not only their own pleasure, but
each
other's as well. Once they reached their climax it was
simultaneous
and their pleasured screams made the windows rattle.
It was the closest to heaven either had ever been.
THE
END
