I do not own Dragonball Z or the
characters inside it...
CHAPTER
FOUR
Tantris stood on the balcony of the Correnian
palace and looked out at the blue ocean that pounded against the cliffs below.
So this had been the room of her prey, Princess Bulma. It had remained
seemingly unchanged since the royal family had been forced out of it. She had
traversed every square foot of it, touched every belonging she could find. All
in the desire to form some kind of mind link with her.This one was proving a
little more challenging then she had first thought. Her sharpened teeth gleamed
as she smiled, thinking of the fun she would have tracking her prey. That was
the exact way she liked it. It made the hunt all the better. She had been
ordered to bring the girl to Frieza alive. He had said he would allow her the
fun of torture only when Vegeta could watch. Until then she only had the thrill
of using her sorceress skills to bring down her prey. She sniffed repulsively
at the waves below her. This was nothing compared to the jungles of her home
planet. Calonia. How she missed it. The high priestess had given her to Frieza
as a gift. Her gifts of mind control and mind tracking had been exceptionally
strong, making her very attractive to him. She was able to get into the mind of
her victims and find out their deepest, darkest fears, implanting images into
their brain that would eventually drive them insane. Even their sleep and
dreams were not their own once she had formed a mind link.If she was good, she
might get to have more then just the Princess. She shook her head trying to
clear her mind of unneccesary thoughts. She mustn't get ahead of herself. She
must concentrate, first on the job at hand, if she was going to have any luck
getting into the mind of her prey. She ran her tongue over her sharp teeth,
drawing blood. She relished the taste of it. Yes, only when she had completed
this first task for Frieza would he allow her more. Only then would she have
any fun.
Bulma stood in the small room that comprised her
living area. It was attached to her workshop and was a far cry from what she
had been used to on Corennia. It contained a bed, a desk and a small closet.
How things changed. How she had changed. Changed drastically from the spoiled
girl she had once been into the troubled woman she had become. Everyday it was
the same litany over and over. Where were her parents. Were they dead or alive?
Her brother? What had happened to him and Vegeta. Well at least that question
had finally been answered. She sighed. Kakkarot and Toma had returned last
night. Kakkarot had told them all about the plan to go to Vegittasei, then drew
her aside and told her privately, a grin playing about his mouth, that Vegeta
had said, Soon. She had known immediately what he meant. She had smiled at him.
Soon. She had waited for him for two long years. Could it really be that she
would be with him soon. She smiled. Things had gone exceptionally well. The
fuel had proven perfect. She was now developing more of it in the large
underground vats they had made to store it.They would be ready to sell it soon,
and ready to turn a real profit. All of the responsibilty was starting to weigh
on her, though. She felt light years older then twenty. At least Bardock was
there to help her. He was really brilliant. She had once again been surprised
by the Saiyajin race. They weren't quite the barbaric animals that people made
them out to be. She thought back on Kakkarot's words from last night. So they were
leaving for Vegittasei today. A part of her thrilled at the idea of seeing
Vegeta, the other, more wiser part of herself worried about leaving a perfectly
safe haven of security. She laid down on her bed and closed her eyes. She was
so tired. She had been up at the crack of dawn working her ass off on that
stupid JT 626. Some problem had popped up in the engine and no one had known
what to do. She had worked it for the better part of the day, cursing it,
cajoling it and when all else had failed she had beaten it with her fist,
causing herself immense pain but in the end it had done the job. She smiled,
maybe a small nap wouldn't hurt her. Then she could pack her bag and be that
much closer to seeing Vegeta again.
Vegeta watched the stream of stars that shot past
the viewscreen. They would be there in the next couple of hours. He hoped that
they would make it in time. If Kakkarot and Bulma landed on Vegittasei now,
they would be captured and he shuddered to think what that meant for them. He
cursed himself for caring. It was so much easier to not give a damn about
anybody, to just worry about yourself. For the life of him, he couldn't shut
either one of them out. Maybe it was the years of common abuse at the hands of
Frieza or the undying loyalty that Kakkarot gave to him. Some type of
friendship had been born of that, perhaps not a typical friendship, but
something akin to it and he found that he had no desire to let it go. It was
hard to rely on other people, but Kakkarot he trusted completely. He couldn't
let him down.Not that he would ever admit that to the younger Saiyajin. His
feelings for Bulma were much more complicated. He couldn't even explain them to
himself let alone identify them. The thought that he might feel something for
her on any level besides lust, scared the hell out of him. It made him
vulnerable and weak and if there were two things the Prince of The Saiyajins
wasn't , it was vulnerable and weak. He could no more turn away from her
though, then he could admit he might half love her. No love was not and would
never be for him. He had lost the capability for that emotion long ago.Though
he knew he felt some affection for her. Lust most definitely. The kind of lust
that had not lessened over time. He would take her as a mate. He knew no other
woman that could fit the position any better. He would be loyal to her and
protect her, but he would not love her. He would not allow that to happen. He
needed to stop thinking about her and more about taking revenge on his father,
His father would fall first, then he as King of Vegittasei would strike Frieza
down. There would be nothing stopping his ascension to Frieza's place. He would
become the legendary warrior that he was meant to be. There would be no one to
stop him. He smirked. Yes, he would destroy Frieza and his father and rule the
universe. He would have Bulma by his side. He could not think of a better life.
**********************************************************
"Well Zarbon, whatever am I going to do about
our dear Prince Vegeta. He seems to once again have taken leave of his
senses." To anyone listening Frieza sounded cool and removed as if he had
not a care in the world. Zarbon, however could hear the underlying rage in his
voice. He could almost feel sorry for Vegeta. Almost. He was perverted enough
to relish the bastard's inevitable capture and subsequent punishment. Vegeta
had always acted a notch above everyone else. Smug and arrogant. He knew Frieza
would take that out of him now. There would be no more leniency for the
Saiyajin Prince this time. it made him smile.
Frieza turned to his captain. "Ginyu, start
tracking our little monkey Prince.Lets find out exactly what he's up to. I have
sent Tantris after his little plaything. " Then he would crush
him.Tantris's capabilities in mind control and especially taking the fears that
lived in your own mind and turning them against you could be quite maddening.
The princess had best have a strong mind. She would need it to keep herself
from going insane. She would pay for ever looking at Vegeta and she would learn
to curse him and the day they met. He could hardly wait until Vegeta could
watch her , broken in mind and spirit. He had waited for the arrogant bastard
for far too long. He was Frieza, High Emperor of the universe. He would take
what he wanted. He would destroy Vegeta piece by piece until there was nothing
left but dust, of that he could be sure.
Ginyu turned to go, relishing the idea of doing
something, anything to make his Lord happy. He would bring him Vegeta. That
would be no problem, no problem at all.
*********************************************************
Vegeta and Raditz stepped off the ship. They had
finally made it to Cusanta. They had set the ship down in the area that looked like
it would be good to hide ships. The real trick was finding where they had
hidden their little base at. Vegeta.was beginning to feal real concern that
they would miss them if they hadn't already. He didn't know how fast he could
get back to Vegittasei.
"Come on Raditz, if you were your father,
where would you hide."
"Hell if I know, he could be anywhere on this
rock."
Vegeta rolled his eyes, Raditz was so help.
"You're pathetic Raditz."
Raditz opened his mouth to say something but was
silenced by a glare from Vegeta.
"We need to find them now Raditz, before
Bulma and Kakkarot take off. I don't have time for pathetic excuses. Be quiet.
" He closed his eyes and tried to sense any energies in the area. He had
just learned how to do it.To rely on his own senses, and not Frieza's
scouters.He was good enough to pick up Bulma or Kakkarot's ki's if they were
there.. He concentrated for a moment.
"Someone is over there." He lifted up
into the air and flew as fast as he could. Raditz behind him. He hadn't sensed
either of their ki's but he had picked up somethng that had been close to
Kakkarot's. Bardock. It had to be Bardock. Was he too late? He rocketed ahead
even faster. He hoped to hell he wasn't. Maybe they were just in an area that
masked energies. He knew Kakkarot could mask his energy as could he. It was
another thing they had learned together on Frieza's ship.
He saw Bardock, long before the other Saiyajin
ever sensed him. He stood on a rocky outcrop, looking down at a ship. Vegeta
gasped, it was beautiful, almost blindingly so. The sun reflected off it's
silvery shell causing him to raise one, gloved hand to his shield his eyes.
This had to be Bulma's ship. It was everythng she had said it was and more. He
smirked. Yet again that woman had impressed him. Was there no end to her
talents?
"How long a trip is this going to be
Kakkarot?" Bulma sat in the captain's chair of the cruiser he had obtained
on Chikyuu. They were preparing the preflight. Kakkarot hoped to get off planet
in another hour. He wanted to try to get there and help Vegeta as much as he
could. he wished he had just come back with them. It would have been better
then splitting up again. Vegeta was just too damn impatient.
"Well, it took me a little over three days to
make it the last time."
Three days, until she saw him again. She guessed
that wasn't too bad. she found she was growing more and more nervous as each
moment passed.
"How long will it take you to do your
pre..." He paused in mid sentence. Why did he sense Vegeta's energy?
"What is it? Is someone here? Has someone
found us?"
"I think someone has found us alright."
He stood up and grinned at her." Question is why?"
"Who is it?"
"Vegeta." She gasped.
"Are you sure."
"Reasonably."
"Well then what are we waiting for?"
They barreled down the ramp together. Kakkarot
traced Vegeta straight to his father in the cliffs above the entry to the
underground caverns. He seemed to be in deep conversation with Bardock about
something.
Bulma saw him from a distance and stopped. He had
changed so much, he was still as gorgeous as she remembered, but he was all man
now. All traces of youth had left him completely. His muscles more compact and
hard. The armor hadn't changed much. She was suddenly shy. What if he didn't
want her anymore?
"Kakkarot," she put a hand on his
arm." Are you sure he wants to see me?"
"Are you crazy Bulma?" Kakkarot grabbed
her hand. He had never met two people more destined to be together, yet too
dense to realize it. He pulled her towards Vegeta.
Vegeta sensed them and turned, tensing as he saw
Bulma. He felt his heart start to pound. She was even more beautiful then he
remembered. He could see subtle differences, face more narrow, cheeks hollowed
a bit more. Her hair was still the same sheet of blue silk he fantasized over night
after night. He felt his pants grow a bit tight. He needed to get her out of
here. There would be time later for talk. He kept his eyes on her as he walked
over to her and Kakkarot.
"Vegeta, what are you doing here?" What
a wonderful thing to say to the man you loved. No hug, no kiss just a why in
the hell are you here. She could have kicked herself.
"Hmmph, would you rather I leave,
woman?" He stopped and stared at her. So very beautiful.He could scarcely
imagine that she belonged to him. He would make it official on this piece of
rock they were on.
"Oh, god no, Vegeta." She launched
herself at him, wrapping him in a bone crushing embrace. At least for her, bone
crushing, for him it was nothing. He felt himself tense a bit. To hug her back
in front of all these men would be too much. He couldn't do it. He smirked
against her hair for a moment, then pushed her away gently.
"Later woman, not now."
She nodded through the tears that were streaming
down her face. Her hand came up to trace his face. the black eyebrows that
slanted so sharply over his eyes, the sharp, aristocratic nose. The lips. She
could hardly fathom that it was him. She let her hand drop away. He had
changed. All traces of youth had left him, leaving a man in its place.
Everything about him was so much harder then before, and that was saying a lot.
It only added to his appeal. She wiped her eyes, trying to stop her flow of
tears.
"Quit your weeping. You'd think I had died.
" He said it harshly, knowing it would work her up. He wasn't disapointed.
"Well, I'm sorry Prince Vegeta, I haven't
seen you in two damn years. I was overcome." She attempted to turn and
walk off. Two could play that game. If he was going to be an ass, then she
would just be one as well. He was having no part of it.He grabbed her and
brought her to him.
"Kakkarot, help your father and brother
finish up here. I am going to be busy for awhile. We'll talk later."
"Alright," Kakkarot said around a grin,
"but I do have one question for you before you go."
"What's that Kakkarot." His eyes never
left her face. Bulma could feel herself growing warm under his observation.
"Why are you here?"
"It's a long story. Raditz can fill you in.
I'll talk to you later." He pulled Bulma along down the path, leaving the
three Saiyajins staring in dumbfounded amazement. Could that really be Vegeta.
Kakkarot wasn't in the least bit surprised. He had told his father as much.
Bardock had never witnessed the two of them together.
His son was absolutely right. The boy had it bad.
He looked at his sons standing next to him. Both so different yet so alike.
Maybe there was hope for them all yet.
"Well, you heard him, get busy, you two. We
need to fire the ship up and run that fuel through her. this is the final test
before we start selling it.
Raditz and Kakkarot looked at each, then both
shrugged and followed their father down the path to the ship.
Vegeta had gotten about half way down the cliff
when he couldn't take it anymore. He had to touch her, to be close to her. He
stopped and pulled her into an embrace, crushing her to him. She wrapped her
arms around him, relishing the feel of him against her. This was so right. It
was like they fit. She looked up at him.
"Vegeta, I am so sorry, I left you. I didn't
want to. I have hated myself every day for leaving you at Frieza's mercy."
"Hush woman, there wasn't anything you could
have done. I wanted you away. Frieza would have on;y killed you, or worse.
" He shuddered. He knew it would have been a lot worse.
"Still, we should have found a way. I let you
down. I should have.."
He raised a gloved hand to her mouth. "Hush
woman. We can argue later. Right now I would rather do other things."
She smiled shyly. " I still haven't done
this."
He frowned. "You had better not have. You are
mine. No one else will ever touch you."
"Does that go for you as well. Will I be the
only one who gets to touch you."
"As long as you behave." He smirked at
the pouty look on her face. He felt shame rise up in his throat. Shame at
having slept with that stupid whore. He could never tell Bulma. It would
destroy anything they had between them. Not that it mattered. She was his and
he wasn't letting her go. What had happened had happened. There was no undoing
it now. He kissed her again, this time deeply. He could feel his need rising quickly
up threatening to overtake him. "Where's your room?"
She smiled at him and pulled him along down the
rest of the path and into the entrance to the worklab. She pointed to a door
across the room. "There."
He scooped her up and carried her the rest of the
way, kicking the door shut behind him. This time there would be no
interuptions. He set her down and pressed a kiss to her mouth. She opened her
mouth to him, kissing him back with all the pent up emotion she had held in for
the past two years. He moaned as he felt her complete surrender to him. This
was how it was meant to be. He broke off the kiss, and looked at her with an
expression of complete adoration. She smiled at him and attempted to take off
her shirt with very shaky hands. He stripped off his gloves and helped her,
slipping it off her slim shoulders, kissing each shoulder as he pulled the
shirt off of her. His hands skimmed back up her arms. He deftly unhooked the
bra, baring her breasts before him. He bent and took one in his mouth. Tonight
he would take his time and they would finish what they had started two years
back. She yanked at his armor, wanting to get it off. He obligingly helped her.
He had himself stripped of everything in minutes. They had all night to do
this, right now he just wanted to feel her around him. and against him. He
slipped her pants off,smiling again at the lack of underwear she wore. Maybe it
would be better to get the first time out of the way. He planned on making love
to her all night. He had a lot of time to make up for. He wasn't sure he could
wait anyway, this first time. The desire to be inside her was damn near
drowning out every other thought. He moaned as she found his tail and massaged
the base of it. If she didn't stop he was going to lose it right here.
"Naughty wench." He carressed the
rounded bottom, still as perfect as ever. He lifted her against his arousal.
She smiled teasingly at him and let go, backing up
to the bed. He followed her obligingly, pushing her down. He bent over her. She
grabbed his shoulders and pulled him down on to her, wrapping her legs around
his waist. He groaned at the postion he found himself in. His incredibly hard
shaft was poised right at the entrypoint to her. He wasn't sure he could do
anything else but move. He thrust into her hard, not wanting to cause her pain,
but knowing the quicker the better. Somehow he found the will to lay there and
not move, to allow her body to adjust to his. Bulma lay underneath him, tha had
really hurt at first, but already she could feel her body adjusting to his. She
moved ever so slightly under him, she felt a wave of pleasure shoot through
her. She moved again. He moaned, but laid there.She fit him like glove. He
wasn't sure if she was ready yet.She took care of the decision for him. She
reached up behind him and grabbed his tail. He couldn't stop himself any
longer, he had to move. He thrust into her harder then he meant to , but unable
to stop himself. She moaned his name. This was as good as she had dreamed
about. She rose up to meet each pounding thrust. His face was buried against
her neck, she could hear him whispering her name over and over. He thrust into
her hard and fast, he could feel his release begin to build throughout him. He
had never felt anything like this before. He had never imagined that it could
be this good.
Bulma felt it moving through her, wave after wave
of the most intense pleasure she had ever experienced. She cried out his name
as it burst through her, her body convulsing under him sending him over the
edge.
He lost all thought as he came, thrusting into her
with one last deep push, spilling himself in her. Giving himself to her
completely, and not even realizing it. He collapsed on top of her, his face
still sheltered in her hair, gasping for air. He felt her move her hands to his
back. His eyes widened as he thought about what she was going to do, no, surely
not, she couldn't, he groaned, she was. She found his tail and she showed him
no mercy. She brought him so close to the edge that he was shaking. He hadn't
even moved. All he had done was lay there and hold on for dear life as she
massaged the base of his tail and stroked it.
"Bulma, please, stop, I can't.." He
stiffened as he felt her move against him, sliding herself up ever so slightly.
It was all it took. He pulled out of her, once, then thrust back in her over
and over, fast and hard until they both came.
"Woman," he said shakily, "you're
going to pay for that." He realized he was still inside her and smirked.
Now it could be her turn. He grabbed her hands, holding them above her head. He
could not let her get them anywhere near his tail or he was at her mercy. This
time she would be at his. He moved in her slowly, dipping his head down to suck
on her nipple. She moaned and arched herself up, taking them both by surprise
as she brought him deeper in her. He moaned and sped up his pace. His mouth
wandered all over her neck, biting at her and kissing her. He moved as slowly
as he could take, the overpowering need he felt for this woman making it hard
to keep his head. How could it be this way? He didn't even love her did he? No,
he knew he didn't. He wasn't capable of it, but there was something. He could
not deny that.He brought them to another shuddering climax and this time he had
the self-control to move off of her and roll over. He gathered her in his arms
and smiled. She was already asleep. He would rest for a bit, and then he would
explore her whole body, from top to bottom. He wanted to see if he could bring
her to her knees in complete surrender. It troubled him slightly that she had
damn near done that to him. It had been a very close thing. Yes, he would spend
all night making her his completely and showing her exactly who her body
belonged to.
**********************************************************************
Tantris, had what she needed. She had been
searching for days for the Princess and had started to grow frustrated. There
was absolutley no trace of her anywhere. then out of the blue she h ad felt a
strong wave of energy emanate form her. It had been enough for Tntris to link
to. The girl was hers. Nothing could release her from the link except Tantris's
death and that wasn't about to happen. She would follow the link straight to
its source, then sh ewould take the girl to Frieza. he had said no harming, but
did that mean she couldn't have a little fun? She reached though the link,
trying to sense something that she might use against her. At first she couldn't
get through. The girl's mind was strong. She persisted. The girl was asleep and
pleasurably so. She went deeper, there had to be something. She sensed guilt
and loss and fear. Fear of what? Those images were harder to get to, at least
right now. She would wait until the link became stronger , for now she had
something that would at least tease the girl a bit. Her parents. She had seen
the loss of her parents and the uncertainty of where they were. Tantris had
been told. They were on Hell. She took the girl's memories. The images of her
parents and mixed them with images from Hell. She should be having a very
interesting dream now. Just wait, Princess, this is only the beginning. She
placed her hand on her head and concentrated for a moment, then was gone.
Bulma could see them, they were on a planet full
of fire. Her father and mother. They were being hurt and tortured. Her mother,
her beautiful mother was burned and they were still flogging her. Get up they
were screaming at her. Get up. No she can't, she wanted to yell. You've hurt
her, please... She screamed and shot up in bed, taking in great gulps of air,
trying to still her trembling body. That had been so real.
Vegeta had leapt out of bed at her scream, ready
to defend her. He realized vaguely that the room was dark and she was still in
bed, shaking like a leaf. Something felt oddly wrong, but he couldn't identify
what it was.
"Woman?" He slipped back into bed. He
had made love to her several times, staying true to his vow to make her body
his. He had branded her in several different ways, leaving no doubt as to who
she belonged to. It went both ways. He could admit to himself that she had done
the same thing to him. He was as much hers as she was his. She was shaking
violently. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close.
"Vegeta?" She managed to gasp out.
"I had a dream. My parents, they were on fire and they were scared. Some
planet. They were..." she stopped, her voice failing her. Vegeta pailed.
How would she have known? Kakkarot had agreed not to tell her. He pulled her
closer. What in the hell was going on? His mouth found hers and he pressed a
soft kiss on her. Maybe he could distract her. He lay back down and threaded
his hands through her hair, pulling her too him.
"It was just a dream," he whispered
against her mouth. She felt herself responding to him, to his nearness. The
sensual note of his voice promising her untold pleasures. She relaxed against
him. She wanted him again already and they had just made love a little while
ago. Would it always be this way?
"Bulma."
Her name was almost a whisper. She wasn't sure if she had actually heard it.
"Bulma, I am coming for you."
Again, the voice was breathy and feminine. She pulled away from Vegeta.
"Did you hear that?"
He sat back up. "Hear what? What are you
going on about woman?"
"My name, Vegeta. Someone said my name."
"There's no one else in the room. You are
imagining it." He reached for her again.
"Bulma,I'm waiting for you. "
There was such sweet malice in that voice.
She brushed his arms away and got up, holding her
head. She could see the images of her parents in flames again, and Vegeta.
Vegeta was laughing at her and making love to another woman. Her brother, even
her brother was suffering. God what was happening to her. She sunk to the
floor, moaning. Vegeta shot out of bed and picked her up. She tried to fight
him. "Get away from me you bastard. Don't touch me." The voice
wouldn't leave her alone.
Vegeta stared in horror at her. She didn't even
realize he was there. He had only seen this once before and he realized with
abject horror exactly what it was. Frieza had sent one of his damned hunters
after her and she had found a way to link to Bulma's mind. There was no telling
what horrors she would subject her to.
He howled in rage. No, this couldn't be happening.
That meant that she was close to her, that she was very close to her. He looked
wildly around the room. Was she already here.
"Damn you Frieza." He howled. His fists
clenched in helpless fury as he watched her twist in his arms. No he had to do
something. You could break the link if you killed the sorceress.He would kill
her and that should help Bulma.
She had to be close by for Bulma to be in the
state she was already in.She was toying with them. Had she already been here,
before when he had made love to Bulma. He had been so preoccupied he hadn't
sensed anything. He looked at the woman in his arms. She was sobbing and
writhing against him. He had to calm her down. He let her slide down against
his body. Holding her up he chopped her quickly in the side of the neck. She
went limp. He didn't doubt that even her unconcious state would no longer be
her own, but at least she wasn't fighting him. He laid her down gently on the
bed and covered her. He cursed as he yanked on his clothes. Damn Frieza for
coming after her like this. He would make sure to find an excruciatingly
painful way to kill him, when it came time. He had to be quick. He wasn't sure
where she was, he just knew that he had to find her. How long it would take
Bulma to wake up he had no way of knowing.HE reached out for Kakkarot's ki. It was
there and it was on alert. Had he already sensed something?He couldn't risk
going to him. He had to stay and protect Bulma.
Tantris watched the Prince looking wildly around
in the dark. So he had figured it out. She had teleported right to them. They had
been involved in other things. She had found it quite arousing to watch them.
she had decide to let them have their fun. She would certainly be having hers.
She had been ordered by Frieza to bring the young Princess to Vegittasei. He
had every belief that Vegeta would follow her, and judging by what she had
seen, that was undoubtedly true. She watched as Vegeta stepped out of the room
and into the work area she had noticed, that was all she would need. She slid
out of her hiding place. She had no energy force to sense, so Vegeta would not
have known she was there.
"Bulma, I'm here for you, little Princess.
Come to me now. I'll take you to your parents. We can help them." She
watched as Bulma sat up and slid out of bed.
"Gather your clothes, little one, you will
need them. " Bulma obligingly slipped on her shirt and pants.
"Good, Bulma, come to me. I will help you. I
promise."
Bulma turned towards the haunting voice.
"Will you really? Will you help me. I have to
help my parents. They need me."
Vegeta's head snapped up as he heard Bulma's
voice. He ran back into the room, hand lifted to fire a blast. He had been
stupid. He should never have left her alone for one moment.
"Come to me. I will help you." She stood
behind the girl now, all she needed to do was go. She saw Vegeta run back into
the room.
"Where's Vegeta?" the girl surprised
her. She was very strong willed.
"Vegeta? He's gone. Did you think he cared
about you. He cares for no one but himself. He won't miss you I promise."
She smiled coldly at Vegeta as she said the words.
"Wrong answer bitch."Vegeta's deadly
calm voice rang through her ears. "Leave her alone. It's me you
want." His face was a mask of cold arrogance. Hishand was raised to blast
her away. He couldn't though, She was behind Bulma and he had no clear shot.
"Hardly, Frieza wants your Princess. I will
take her to him." She flexed her hands.
"Vegeta? Is that you?" Bulma spoke
softly. She looked at him and smiled slightly. For a moment she felt peace.
"Bulma, it's alright. I want you to come to
me. This is all going to be over very soon. I promise."
"No, Bulma, look at him. He knew your parents
were suffering and didn't even tell you. Look at him. He has betrayed
you."
"No," Bulma moaned.
"Bulma, do not listen to her. It's not true."
He felt a small spark of guilt. He had known and chosen not to tell her. He had
done it to protect her.
"Enough of this pointless coversation. We
leave now." She grabbed a hold of Bulma's neck and lifted her finger to
her head.
"No," Vegeta screamed. "Don't take
her."
She smiled coldly at him. "See you on
Vegittasei." Then she was gone.
He fell to his knees, impotent rage running
through him. She was gone. Just like that, she had been taken from him. He
screamed in rage. Somewhere he could feel Kakkarot's ki approaching him.
"Don't worry woman. I will follow you to hell
if need be. I will be there soon. I promise you."
He stood up and turned to the door. He would find
Kakkarot and they would go together. If Frieza wanted him, he was about to get
him.
