Dangerous Bond

Chapter 9 : This can't happen to me..

Vegeta sat high on the mountian side, his black eyes scanning the flashing lights of the city below him. What was he doing? He wasn't supposed to be here, watching a fuckin' human city!

It was nighttime and the city had only just seemed to come alive, the shouts and laughter of its teenaged populance audible to the Saiya-jin prince on the mountain. He shouldn't be here! He had to train, had to get strong before the android strike. But... She was getting in his way.

'This is bad...'

That... that onna! Her power over him, it was too strong! Even the thought of her now made Vegeta harden dispite himself. He had to break this, destroy what was an increasing problem before it became anything serious. It would hurt him, hurt them both, he knew. But he had to do it. There was no other way.

'Don't fool yourself, Vegeta. She won't hurt. What happened today... It was just something that shouldn't have happened. To her you are nothing but a puzzle, one that she hopes to eventually put together. But I won't be. I refuse to be her guinea pig for her research into Saiya-jin life. I'm not... I can't be...'

'This is bad.'

"Argh!! This can't be happening to me!!" Vegeta's ki flared as he lunged to his feet, lust overwhelmed by anger. "I'm a warrior, not a... whatever. See! I don't even know the word! So I can't be one of... them. How can you be something you don't understand?! This is too fuckin' stupid! I can't be this soft! I can't harbour these feelings, not for anyone! If I had these emotions inside me I would have died, along with those other pitifull failures!

"Nothing can get to me, nothing, EVER!! I have to train, have to beat these bleeding machines. There's no time for anything else, nothing at all. EVER."

But his thoughts lingered on her face, the beauty that held him captive in a way he couldn't escape. With a last roar of anger Vegeta leapt into the air and flew again, even faster than last time. It was if he were trying to outrun his fate, something that no-one, not even the strongest warrior in the universe, could acheive.

Back at CC Bulma was in the highest of spirits ever. Her silky blue hair swirled around her head as she danced about her work.

'Ha, take that Yamjerk! Vegeta does, he does, he does. He's gonna come back and say what he really thinks and that's gonna be that he loves me! No need for you, jerk man!'

She smiled and frowned at the thought. How foolish was she? She'd been going out with Yamcha since she was sixteen and he'd never been the one. He'd never helped her through the night, or leapt off a building and nearly died saving her. Why the Hell had she stayed with him so long? And what had taken her this long to figure out Vegeta?

Bulma tapped the finishing touches onto one of her newest inventions and turned it on. The machine worked perfectly and she smiled before switching it off again. The girl had to admit, she hadn't been all too sure about all this straight away. After all, it was Vegeta she was thinking about here. But something inside... Just told her it was right...

She retired early and changed into her nightwear. Settling back into the soft matress Bulma waited and listened for Vegeta's return...

Unfortunately, she didn't hear it.
