CHAPTER 7

"I need to pee"

"And that's my problem, because...?"

"Vegeta seriously, we've been traveling for 3 hours, I can't feel my legs, I'm pretty sure I've swallowed a couple of bugs and I really really need to pee!" Whined Bulma.

Since he didn't answer, and kept flying, she continued. "Besides, I'm freezing, you might be used to these things, but I'm not!".

Vegeta looked down at her frowning.

Then he smirked.

"Why are you-?"

Bulma never ended her question, she was suddenly without his arms, on a free fall.

"VEGETAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"One saibaman, two saibamans, three saibamans, four saibamans..." He counted watching the blue haired female falling. Then he smirked and flew in her direction.

'Oh Kami, this is it' She thought while watching how the ground was getting closer and closer to her.

But the hit never came, she opened her eyes and saw she was on Vegeta's arms, bridal style. And the saiyan had a huge smirk on his face.

"VEGETA I FUCKING HATE YOU!" She screamed at him punching his arms and chest."WHY WAS THAT FOR?!"

"I thought it could be fun" He smirked leaving the woman on the ground, "It was fun indeed" he continued. Bulma's legs were still wobbling, and she fell on her bum on the ground. Vegeta looked at her face and laughed.

The first laugh she ever heard from him. She was incredibly mad at him, but the fact he was laughing was rare. She looked at him with wide eyes wondering what was happening.

"Gods woman, you weren't lying when you said you swallowed a couple of bugs" He said chuckling.

Bulma arched an eyebrow and getting her backpack she searched for her tiny mirror.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Vegeta kept laughing while the blue haired woman rubbed her face with her hands and arms to get the remains of what seemed to be a pretty large walking stick bug.

"AAAAAGH I FUCKING HATE NATURE!" she growled still rubbing her cheek and spitting the other half of the bug.

Vegeta chuckled and looked around, they were in the middle of the forest, he decided it was time to stop for a meal. He gave his back to Bulma and walked inside the forest.

"Wait, where are you going?!" She screamed at him.

"Away from your screeching!" He answered, while he kept walking.

"Don't leave me here!" She screamed again, but had no answer. "Vegeta!?" She asked again a little worried. "Vegeta it's not funny, I don't know where we are!" She whined again. She tried to stand up, but her legs were still a little sleep.

"Vegeta?!" She screamed again, but there was nothing but the sound of the leafs. 'He wouldn't leave me here alone, right? I mean he's an ass, but he knows he can't drop me without knowing where I am! I didn't even bring all my guns because he came with me. Oh shit, what if he really left?'.

She was felling nervous looking around, the sun would set soon.

Then she was startled with the sound of a huge bear falling by her side. She shrieked in horror thinking a wild bear was just about to attack her. Then she saw the animal now by her side was not moving, she raised her frightened eyes and saw the smirking saiyan with his arms crossed.

"Don't bother screeching at it, I already killed it" Said Vegeta.

"Why the fuck was that for? I thought you left, you jerk!" She glared at him.

"If I were going to dump you on the forest after three hours enduring your presence, don't you think I wouldn't have come at all? But now that you mention it, it sounds nice to be free from your voice". He said peeling the bear.

"Kami, what the hell are you doing!" She said putting her hand on her mouth trying to stop the need to throw up. The scene in front of her was quite gore.

"Don't tell me woman you can't stand a little bit of blood. What the hell do you think I'm doing, I'm making our dinner!"He said annoyed, he had never gone to get food for anybody but himself before, this was like a gift to her, why was she bitching about it? 'ungrateful wench...'

"Vegeta, if you were hungry you could have just said so, I brought food on my capsules!"

Vegeta shrugged while he decapitated the bear, Bulma had to turn away, the thing was a blood bath. She looked inside her backpack and opened her capsules case, she retrieved a little pink one, and opened it.

A little white dome-house appeared in front of them.

She looked at Vegeta who was frowning at her.

"What? I'm not going to sleep on the floor in a forest if I don't have to"

"You're disgustingly spoiled" He said incinerating everything he was not going to eat from the bear.

"Well if you want to sleep here outside, it's your choice!" She answered with her hands on her hips.

"Maybe I will"

"Good"

"Fine"

"Fantastic"

"I'm not giving you any of my cow" He shrugged.

"Cow? what cow?" She asked confused.

"This cow, you idiot!" Frowned Vegeta at her moving the corpse on his hands.

"That's a bear, not a cow" She said holding the chuckle.

"This shit is a bear? it looks nothing like the stuffed things on your bedroom"! He said looking at the animal's skull.

"Well duh, it's a cute representation of it... wait, you've been in my bedroom?"

"Of course I have! I had to make sure the damn building was safe" Said Vegeta a little distracted looking at the animal.

"Safe from what? The care-bears from my bed?"

Vegeta glared at her "Don't be stupid woman, Frieza's army was large enough, you never know if there's somebody following you".

Bulma didn't answer, she knew it was a delicate topic. Trying to change the subject she continued "So you don't know how cows look like?".

Vegeta glared at her.

"It's a fair question! You're not familiar with this planet yet... well I think you know them, they have four legs, usually black and white, really bulky, with huge udders. That's where we get our milk"

"WHAT?!" He looked at her with wide eyes.

Bulma looked at him with wide eyes, not sure if she should repeat her sentence.

"You mean to tell me, you humans actually drink the milk from another animal?" He asked horrified.

"Well... yeah, that's what you've also drank in my house..."

"Gods" He said putting his hand on his mouth like he was going to throw up. "You humans are disgusting! What the fuck were you doing? 'Hey I think I'll drink the milk out of that fucking animal's tit? What the fuck?"

"You never complained before... besides we called it milk, didn't you think where it came from?"

"I thought it was a figurative name! Like you idiots say hot dogs, but that's not a fucking burning canine!"

"I don't see what the big deal is, you are just about to eat a bear!" She answered annoyed.

"That's completely different woman! This is a fucking animal, this is dead now. I eat corpses! But that thing, internal fluids... that's like.. ugh! Don't tell me woman your species actually drink semen too!?"

Bulma looked at him with wide eyes, and couldn't help it. She laughed.

"NO. FUCKING. WAY!" He roared horrified. "Did I ever...?"

She was laughing so hard at that point. "No Vegeta you haven't, and no. Humans don't actually 'drink' ..uhm... male fluids as a source of nourishment. But I've heard some do it for the sake of passion..."

"What?" He looked at her confused.

"Well... you know" She said a little embarrassed.

Vegeta arched an eyebrow, he was not getting her point.

"Kami, Vegeta! I'm not going to explain where do babies come from to you!"

"But what that has anything to do with... oh"

"Yes, oh" She answered.

"But why? I mean, why would a male stick his dick out of the female to do that?"

"Nobody has to get anything out of anybody... come on, you haven't heard about what a blow job is?"

Vegeta arched an eyebrow.

"Kami this is embarrassing..." She said rubbing her eyes. Then she reached her pocket looking for her cell phone, she was searching for something on it.

"Here" She said showing him the screen of her phone while pressing play.

"What the hell am I watching" He said frowning at the screen. "Humans record their sexual intercourses? woman that's sick..." He said while watching the screen. Then his eyes grew wide.

"Let me fast forward this, so we can get into the point of what we were talking about..." She mumbled.

Vegeta squinted his eyes, and then they were wide open again.

Bulma closed the window in her phone, and turned it off. She looked at Vegeta who was looking at her with wide eyes.

"So I'm assuming saiyans don't do that?" She asked.

"Saiyans don't do that" He answered immediately.

Bulma smiled and shrugged. There was an awkward silence, but she knew it was worst for him. "Well I'm going to take a bath... and I suggest you do the same later, you're not getting your bloody clothes on my couch".

Vegeta nodded awkwardly while Bulma walked inside the small house.

Bulma walked out of the shower and got herself into her room to change, when she was happy with it, she realized Vegeta was now taking a shower. She smiled remembering what happened moments ago, and walked outside.

The bear was being cooked over a fire.

She heard footsteps behind, and looked back to see a freshly showered Vegeta with his hair still down from being wet.

Bulma couldn't help to smile when she saw him. He looked different like that. Vegeta arched an eyebrow at her, she realized she was staring and gave him a nervous smile.

"I didn't know you cooked" She said looking at the bear.

"I just know how to not die by starvation" He merely answered.

Bulma smiled and walked inside the house. It was getting late, the stars were already visible in the skies, but there were still traces of orange and purple in the skyline. Vegeta sat near the fire, moving the meat and sighed looking at the stars. They were way more visible there than in the city.

He heard the woman walking and looked to his side to find her with two beers on her hands, she offered him one. He took it without saying a word.

"It's been a long while since I haven't done this" She said quietly.

Vegeta looked at her.

"You know, been in the wild, looking for the dragon balls... is a nice change from being constantly on an office."

"Do you want to be in an office?" He said offering her some meat, she shook her head as no. And opened a capsule she had on her pocket with some food, giving some of the bowls to Vegeta.

"Yeah... no... I don't know. I think I don't really know what I want" She mumbled.

Sshe raised her eyes and Vegeta was looking at her lifting an eyebrow.

"It's not what you think" She smiled. "It's just... I had my next five years figured out... kinda. I was supposed to settle down, I was supposed to be married before being thirty, I was supposed to be over the dragon balls dangers, I was supposed to be... I was supposed to be a married woman, with maybe one kid, leading capsule corporation." She snorted. "But I'm just as immature as I was when I was twenty, I have no husband or SO by my side, I'm far from being the head of Capsule corporation since it's been driving me crazy lately AND my dad noticed. And well... as far as it goes with kids... I hate them, I think they're all spawns of the devil. And thank Kami I have to be touched by a guy for that, because at least that it's not happening"

Vegeta snorted "You're happy that's not happening?"

Bulma looked at him with wide eyes, her cheeks turned pink. "Well no... I mean yeah. I mean it's not like I don't want to... but I got used to it".

"How long?" He asked smirking.

"What? I'm not going to tell you that! That's private!" She said embarrassed.

"Woman you showed me a video of a woman with a dick on her mouth, are you seriously talking about boundaries now?" He said smirking.

"That's completely different, that's something you find on the internet, this is personal"

"Very well then, I'll do the math" He said putting his meal down.

"What?" She looked at him wide eyed.

"You dismissed the weakling four months ago, so we know for sure you didn't have any action since then. But" He stopped to smirk watching her face, she was about to interrupt him when he spoke again. "But again you were not active mates in the late time of the relationship".

"What? How would you know that? Were you spying on us?!" She said wide eyed.

"Don't be ridiculous woman, I couldn't care less of who you bed. But my nose can't avoid the facts. His scent was not over you in the late months"

Bulma looked at him wide eyed, mortified. Vegeta smirked at her misery.

Bulma frowned and decided she would make HIM suffer too. "What about you, Mr. high and mighty? How long it's been since you had a woman by your side?" She smirked. "Because since I know you, I can tell for sure you haven't been around women. Considering before that we had Namek, AND your fight on Earth, that makes quite a while... and that's just assuming you had some before coming to Earth which I doubt".

Vegeta frowned at her "So? I'm a warrior, Sayans don't make decisions or act upon those basic instincts, we are warriors first, men and women later. Having a mate is a nuisance. Besides is not like I could bring a woman into Frieza's planet."

"Well... that might explain some of Goku's behavior then" She said more to herself.

"What do you mean?" He asked frowning at the mention of his rival.

"Well he never really showed any interest in women... He didn't even know what a woman was before he met me. And when Chichi came back to make him marry her, well... it's not like he said because he was attracted, it was because he promised her many years before he would marry her"

"Why on earth would be promise that to that harpy?"

"He thought marriage meant food or something" She snorted.

"Well that's not being saiyan, that's being an idiot" He smirked.

"But the lack of attraction to females?" She asked.

Vegeta thought about it. "Maybe... maybe he unconsciously rejected females since he was a warrior first, but that doesn't mean we are eunuch. If Vegetasei existed I would probably had mated already." He said looking at the stars.

"Besides there is no place for couples in times of war". He continued.

"And you've been at war since you were six" She added.

Vegeta nodded.

They both sat in silence for the rest of the meal. Bulma was getting cold since the fire was extinguishing. She stood up taking some of the plates and walked inside the house. Vegeta followed her doing the same with the rest of the dishes.

"So... there's only one bed" She said awkwardly to him. "I brought a one-room house since I thought I was coming alone"

"Don't worry woman, I know you'll sleep perfectly on the couch" He answered.

"What? No way! I'm the girl, I get the bed!"

"Well that's very chauvinist of you, don't you think?" He smirked.

Bulma frowned, she hated him when he was right. "Ok.. then what about this, one day you sleep in there, then the next in the couch. We do it in turns".

"How about, no"

"Stop bean an unapproachable asshole! We need to find a way in the middle!"

"I don't think so woman, I have the strength, then I sleep on the bed. Want to test if I can get you out of it?" He smirked.

"Oh no you won't!" She screeched.

"Watch me" He said smirking walking inside the bedroom and closing the door.

Bulma was furious, and she walked inside the bathroom to put on her pijamas. When she was ready, she walked out, and opened the bedroom door which was thankfully opened. She glared at Vegeta who was already on bed with his forearm on his eyes.

"You're not getting me out of here, woman" He said, he sounded tired.

"Well, you aren't getting ME out of here either!" She huffed, getting into the other side of the bed.

Vegeta turned his head with wide eyes at her. "What the hell are you doing?"

"I'm not sleeping on the couch, I'm sleeping here, so either you shut up and let me sleep, or you raise your muscled ass and sleep on the damn couch!"

Vegeta growled at her back, but even when it was oh so tempting to just push her to the floor, he was indeed tired. And her screeching would take all the energy he had left.

He didn't want that headache.

So he shrugged and turned to the other side. It wasn't like it bothered him, they had slept together once before, after the gravity room accident... and it felt nice.

He just hoped his nightmares didn't make a visit that night.

The next morning, Vegeta opened one eye to find a bunch of blue hair under his nose. He moved his head back frowning at what was with him.

Bulma was hugging him, resting her head on the angle of his neck. Half of her body was laying over his half.

But what surprised him the most was the fact he was hugging her too.

'What the hell' He thought getting his arms off her. He tried to push her off from him, but the woman wouldn't move. He looked to his right watching the nightstand, he grabbed the corner and began to pull himself out of bed. Her body began to fall slowly on the mattress, while he felt to the floor. He raised his head looking at her sleeping form with wide eyes. If the woman decided to wake up in that moment, it would completely kill his pride.

After a couple of seconds watching her, she kept breathing heavily, which made him breathe again. He stood up carefully and walked inside the bathroom.

Later, Bulma woke up on Vegeta's side of the bed, smelling the pillow and smiling like an idiot.

"I didn't know you liked my scent, woman"

Bulma's eyes opened wide awake, and looked back. Vegeta was leaning at the door smirking at her.

"Breakfast is ready" He said smirking and left her.

Bulma's face couldn't be any more red, she crushed her face against the pillow embarrassed.

Vegeta was sitting on a stool by the counter, he raised his eyes watching the blushing woman walking awkwardly into the kitchen.

"Y-you made breakfast for me?" She asked surprised looking at the food.

"Don't get used to it. It was either that or listen to your annoying voice, and it's always too early for that".

She glared at him.

"You're blushing" He said smirking. He loved to make her mad, but make her uncomfortable, that was pure entertainment.

She didn't dare to look up at him, she kept eating trying not to think.

"I can't blame you, although I'm curious why you were smelling my pillow like that, does my scent arouse you, woman?"

And she took the bait. "What?!" She answered immediately with wide eyes. "Of course not, I wasn't smelling you, I was simply snuggling with the bed, I always do that!"

"Riiight" He answered smirking.

"I'm serious, Vegeta" She said frowning,

"Sure" He said smirking and putting his plate on the sink. With that sexy smile that only made her blush again... she could feel she was a damn tomato by then.

"Get ready woman, we leave in thirty" Said Vegeta leaving the small house to train while she was ready.

She groaned and touched her face 'Bulma, you're a fucking idiot'.

It was nine o'clock in the morning, and the first dragon ball was found easily, it was inside a huge pteranodon nest. Years ago, when she was on this search with Goku, they would've spent the entire day in the adventure of getting the dragon out of the animal. But with years and Vegeta... things were easier. It just took for him to fly, raise his ki (which made the animal flee) and take the ball.

It was around six in the afternoon and they were about to get their second dragon ball. They had been flying the rest of the day to the second location, which was near the snowy mountains in the north of the planet.

The sun was already gone, and the stars were shining with beautiful northern lights. Bulma was shivering in Vegeta's arms, he rolled his eyes watching the woman when he landed on the snow.

"Kami I'm so getting a pneumonia out of this" she said rubbing her own arms.

"Pathetic" Mumbled Vegeta watching their surroundings.

"Hey! What the hell do you want from me?, it's fucking twenty degrees below zero, I'm colder than a penguin's ass! We're not all macho man immune to sun and snow like you!" She glared at him.

Vegeta rolled his eyes, even when he was a little flattered with the last part. He looked back to see Bulma pressing her dragon radar.

"Well?" He asked impatiently.

"It's in that direction" She said raising her arm pointing north. "It's near, maybe one hundred meters".

Vegeta didn't wait any longer and walked in that direction followed by the woman. He stopped abruptly which made her hit her face with his back. "Kami's sake Vegeta, your back is like hitting a rock" She said growling and rubbing her face.

Vegeta looked at her frowning. Bulma watched him confused, and then she moved her eyes to see what was in front of her.

A frozen lake.

"Aw crap" She growled.

"Indeed" Added Vegeta. "Well... we're not getting any younger, especially you" He said taking off his jacket.

"W-what? Vegeta what are you doing?" She asked confused looking at how he was taking his shirt now.

"Oh I just love to strip in front of you woman... What the hell do you think I'm doing!, I'm getting down there!" He said glaring at her, throwing his shirt at her head.

Bulma took his shirt from her head clumsily, when she managed to get it in her hands she saw with wide eyes how Vegeta was opening the zipper from his pants. Suddenly he stopped and looked at her smirking. "I better leave these on... besides I never really got used to those human garments you call underwear" He said closing his zipper and walking over the ice.

Bulma blushed furiously "Oh really, Vegeta? You go around commando style? That's gross!" She knew she didn't sound convincing at all, and she could hear how Vegeta was chuckling.

Vegeta levitated in the middle of the lake and crashed himself against the ice, shattering the thick layer and disappearing inside the water.

'Kami, I hope I was right when I said he was immune to cold' She thought worried. She couldn't see him, and was really hoping the damn dragon ball was not hiding inside something.

The minutes past and felt like hours, she was getting worried. She had no idea if saiyan lungs were also different when it came to holding your breath... Even if they were, it was freezing cold down there! He might be in problems, maybe he passed out!

She looked at her watch, and the timer indicated eleven minutes. Her heart was beating fast with fear. She couldn't wait anymore, she threw her backpack to the snow, opening it quickly looking for her capsules case. She couldn't find any damn underwater vehicle!

She growled and opened a second case, she got a flashlight and a rope out of it and ran to a near tree and tied it. She took off her jackets and all the clothes in her upper part. Leaving only her t-shirt. She tied the other extreme to her waist and put her first foot on the ice carefully but quickly.

She began to walk quickly as she could where Vegeta had disappeared, she was watching her feet, and how at times the ice would make little cracks. She was near the hole now, and she looked to her watch once again, it showed sixteen minutes.

He heart was pounding, and her ears hurt. Without second thought, she jumped inside the cold water.

She felt like thousands of needles were sticking her body. She opened her eyes looking around and using her flashlight. But she couldn't see a thing! She tried to swim deeper when something curled on her waist and dragged her.

She screamed losing all the air she held in her mouth, and her body was suddenly thrown out of the water. When she managed to breathe, she coughed all the water she swallowed, she opened her eyes and looked to her side. Vegeta was knelling by her with concern on his eyes.

"What the hell where you doing down there!" He spat at her.

"I was looking for you, you asshole!" She answered angered with a hoarse voice.

"Me?" He repeated incredulously. "Why?!" He asked frowning.

"I thought something happened to you, you fucking idiot! You have been in there for more than fifteen minutes!" She screamed at him, which hurt her throat even more.

Vegeta's face was unreadable for her, then he frowned and looked around. He found her backpack and opened it immediately. He got the house capsule and threw it.

Bulma stood up again, her body ached like hell, and felt numb. She looked at her hands and they were shaking and with an odd color. She frowned and then looked back to see the house out of the smoke.

Vegeta walked near her again and was about to take her in his arms when she stood back.

"Hey, what are you doing?" She asked confused.

Vegeta frowned "What do you think? I'm getting you inside, woman! You're freezing cold, and besides I don't think those are poking at me just because they're happy to see me!" He said looking down.

She looked down at her chest and saw her nipples standing straight, completely visible from her shirt, even when she was wearing a bra. She cursed and crossed her arms immediately covering herself. Vegeta smirked "I thought so", and grabbed her walking inside the house quickly.

He sat her inside the tub and opened the hot water. Even when it was recently opened, and it was supposed to be cold at first, it was still warmer than her body.

Just then Bulma realized her legs were not answering, and with the lights of the bathroom, she could see the blueish color on her skin.

"Sorry about snapping at you, I didn't realize I was turning into damn nightcrawler" She said feeling the hot water calming her muscles. Vegeta lifted an eyebrow not getting her reference, but he almost never did. He only nodded and stood up leaving her in the bathroom.

Vegeta walked out of the house again, to collect the woman's backpack and the dragon ball he threw carelessly when he saw the woman inside the water.

She scared the crap out of him, and thank the gods she didn't notice. He was already with the dragon ball on his hand, looking around the lake to find some fish when he saw the flash of light coming from the hole he made. It was her! what the fuck was she doing there! He couldn't form any coherent thought when he saw her, he just knew it was dangerous for her, and swam quickly to get her out of the water.

She was shivering, and her lips were blue, he touched the skin of her arms and she was freezing cold, he knew that could kill a human. So he acted under instincts, he took her into hot water...

he was worried about her safety, and that worried him.

With the dragon ball now in his hands he shivered. He was way more resistant than humans to this weather, but he was in no way immune. He walked inside the house to hear the water running now as a shower.

He threw the ball into the couch and looked down, he was still soaking from the cold lake water. He shrugged and walked to the refrigerator to eat something while he waited for her.

Bulma walked into the living room/kitchen area to see Vegeta leaning against a counter eating an apple. He was still shirtless and wet.

She smiled at him and he walked pass her without a word, and got inside the bathroom.

Bulma sighed and decided to dry the wet trail he left on the floor.

When he got out of the shower, he realized she had already prepared dinner and was waiting for him.

"Does it hurt?" He asked looking at her as if he were searching for something.

"No, I'm fine now... I got a shot just in case. It's supposed to work in cases like this" She said softly while moving her food.

Vegeta only grunted and kept himself eating.

"Vegeta... I..." She said trying to collect her thoughts. "Thank you".

He raised his eyes frowning, this was not a pleasant feeling. "Don't get used to it" He answered.

For a second he thought about saying things like 'Don't read too much out of it, I just saved you because it was convenient, if I didn't do it I would have to deal with your mother screeching, who would fix my gravity room, etc'... but he knew very well those were lies. And maybe he was tired, or maybe it was because it was a weird feeling to know somebody, with that low ki risked her life just because she thought he was in danger... whatever the reason was, he didn't feel like lying.

Bulma smiled at him and continued with her food.

Vegeta didn't feel like training that night, he was tired from flying, and the adrenaline rush he had with the woman earlier was enough for the day. He was sitting on the couch watching the television, snorting at times, shocking his head at others. And chuckling when he saw an image of war.

At moments he would look back, where he could see the woman sitting on the bed, putting on herself creams, reading things and brushing her hair.

'High maintenance weakling' he thought. But he couldn't forget the fact, that weakling had risked her life for him! Not even Nappa had done that in the past, and he was his fucking bodyguard!

He frowned at the thought. 'Why did she save me? She doesn't owe me a thing? She knows very well who I am, what I have done, and what I am capable to do...'

Friendship.

He growled at the thought, that must be it, the woman must think he's her friend... but was she always risking her life for her friends?

'No idea...'

Maybe for Kakarrot, she seemed fond to the idiot... which only made him feel a pang of jealousy on his chest.

But friendship? he had no friends! The closer thing he ever had as a friend was Radditz, and Kakarrot killed him... Besides he didn't want her friendship, that would put him in the same level of Kakarrot... even in the same level of that scarred faced idiot.

If that was being a friend, he didn't want it.

But that didn't mean he didn't want to know anything about her...

He was wondering about the topic once again when his thoughts were interrupted with her voice.

"Aren't you a bit cold?" He looked to his side and saw her standing with her pajamas. He lifted an eyebrow at her, he was wearing sweating pants and a sleeveless shirt. "I don't get cold so easily".

"Easily? We're in snow, how colder can it get?" She asked.

"I'm used to it".

She looked at him with eyes that screamed questions, she wanted to ask so bad.

Vegeta rolled his eyes "Out with it"

"Why? I thought saiyans were naturally used to warmer environments, considering you once said Vegetasei was kind of a desert planet". She asked really fast sitting the couch arm.

Vegeta sighed "It was, but I lived in Freeza's ships and planets since I was six... and believe me his name was not just a coincidence. Most of the soldiers and prisoners that arrived there, died within the first weeks because of the temperature. That was the first way to eliminate the weaklings from his army".

Bulma frowned, she was honestly expecting some explanation about how adaptable his saiyan anatomy was, or maybe how his cells worked differently... but no. It was because he was tortured with it for years, he was trained under those circumstances.

"Well I'm tired, so go to bed woman. I wish to sleep" He said leaning against the couch.

"W-what? You're sleeping here?"

"Yeees" He growled.

"But why? you didn't before" She asked confused.

"What, you want me in your bed now, woman?" He said smirking at her.

"What? no! of course not!" She said quickly. "I just..."

"You just what? I know I'm good looking, but I do not wish to see your breasts again" He said closing his eyes maintaining his smirk.

"What!? You didn't see anything, I was still wearing my clothes and my bra! And NO, I do not think you're good looking! You're so full of yourself!"

"I don't think I'm good looking, I know I am. And yes woman, I did get a very clear view earlier, but don't worry, you're not my type".

She was frowning and angry, she didn't know how to retort, so she grabbed the cushion and hit him with it. Startling him, since he was with his eyes closed.

"You are an idiot, you know that!" She glared at him. "I was only suggesting it, since it was so cold!".

"Woman, if you want me to sleep with you, just ask" He said looking at her very seriously.

Bulma looked at him and frowned, she looked down and then back to his eyes. She sighed and asked. "Would you please sleep with me tonight?".

"No" He answered, winning another hit with the cushion, but this time he avoided it.

She stood up angrily and walked to the bedroom, she opened the bed kicking anything that was on her way, and got herself inside the bed.

About two minutes later, she felt a weight on the other side of the mattress, she looked back and saw Vegeta's back to her.

"Oh so now you're sleeping here" She spat at him.

"Of course I am woman, if I don't you'll turn into a popsicle in just an hour, now shut up and sleep!"

Bulma growled but didn't answer, he was kind of right, it was freezing cold, and the man was like a walking hot water bottle.

'A hot water bottle with sexy shoulder blades' She thought looking at his back, she frowned and tried to sleep.

Through the night she was unconsciously getting closer and closer to the source of heat.

"Vegeta you cannot do this! Have you gone mad?!" She screamed.

"Silence woman! Don't you dare to defy my authority, you might be the Queen but you still have to obey me!"

"You're a weakling idiot! You're giving your own son, your own heir to our enemy!"

The little eyes that were watching the scene grew wide with the insult.

"We made another! And he's not our enemy!" He screamed at her shooting a ki blast at her, she avoided easily and glared at the king.

"I'm ashamed to be your wife" She growled and walked to the owner of the little eyes, and took him in her arms leaving the room.

"Say goodbye to the brat, woman!" Screamed the king still in the room.

The Queen walked fast, then she started running through the palace halls. Vegeta was still in her arms, he didn't dare to speak. He had never seen his mother so mad before.

They were suddenly in the scientific wing, his mother left him on the floor and walked inside the babies chambers. They were like little pods, where babies developed the final months of gestation. Since female saiyans were warriors, they couldn't afford losing nine months with a child inside of them. The fetus were extracted from them and put inside these chambers until the nine months passed.

She was looking at his brother, she usually did this, so did he. But this time was different, she was not smiling.

"My Queen?" Asked another voice.

Vegeta raised his eyes to see one of the scientist, he had seen him many times before, but he didn't know his name.

"It's happening" She answered.

The other man frowned, and then looked at Vegeta, realizing the kid was there for the first time.

"Good morning, prince, how are you today?" Asked the scientist giving him a weak smile.

"Fine" Said Vegeta frowning, the situation felt odd for him.

"Darling, look, there's the new training android! Why don't you try a couple of hits at him?" Asked his mother with a fake smile. He could tell it was fake, her eyes were sad.

He nodded and walked were the new machine was standing, he looked back and saw the adults were talking... they wanted him far. But he wanted to listen! He gave a couple of kicks at the android and looked back again, they were not watching him. He smirked and flew near them, hiding behind one of the many machines in the room.

"He's doing it" He heard his mother say.

"And Tarble?" Asked the scientist.

"He's Vegeta's replacement... he doesn't care about it. He thinks our sons are disposable" Said the Queen with pain in her voice.

Vegeta frowned, he had never heard his mother cry before.

"So you're going with it, you're going through the plan?" Asked the man.

"Yes... I'm not leaving my children to the claws of that freak. And Vegeta lost his mind, first it was just about power, but now... he sold us to the devil. My son is only the beginning, I'm not giving my Veggie to him, neither I'm leaving Tarble under his father's watch".

"You think the King could kill you, my Queen?" Asked the man.

"He will, but I'm not going down without a fight. But first we need to get our children out of this place. Tell your mate, warn all those you can. Bardock might be right after all..." She said the last part more to herself. "Is the pod ready?"

"Yes my Queen, and it holds enough space for both princes. All the data about our civilization and your personal messages to both of them are already inside the pod".

"The destiny?" She asked while opening the pod containing Tarble.

"A far planet in the HW9 sector, out of the cold empire. I made the research and it holds peaceful forms of life. They couldn't damage them even if they wanted to".

The Queen nodded and looked at the small baby in her arms. "You'll never remember me, but I hope your brother will tell you how much I loved you both" She said with a sad smile. "You too take care of Vegeta, Tarble. I hope you two find a new family in there" She said smiling, then she heard a thunderous noise. It was an explotion.

Her eyes grew wide, and gave the little baby to the scientist. "Run! Put Tarble in the pod, I'm getting Vegeta. If I'm not in there in five minutes, release the pod!"

The scientist nodded and ran with the baby. Meanwhile the Queen looked around in horror searching for Vegeta, he was not by the android anymore.

Just when Vegeta was stepping out of his hiding to reach his mother. The laboratory doors exploded.

A tall green man, with yellow eyes and braided hair walked in with a smirk on his face.

"There you are. Do you have any idea how much trouble I got looking for you?"

"Well but isn't the faggot himself" Frowned the Queen. "What do you want! And how dare you to destroy our palace!"

Zarbon smirked, and walked slowly near the Queen. "Where is he?" He said with a sick sweet voice.

"Out of this planet" She answered smirking at him.

Zarbon frowned, and without warning punched the Queen in her stomach making her fall to the floor. She immediately tried to stand up fighting the green alien, but he was way more powerful than her. Each ki blast, every punch and kick, everything she did he avoided it.

He was suddenly straddling her on the floor, with his heavy body above hers.

Vegeta couldn't take it anymore, he gave a step further from his hiding spot, when his mother made eye contact with him. With eyes filled with panic, she shocked her head slowly as no, and looked at the exit, were the scientist left just a minute ago.

He had to leave, he knew it. His mother was strong, the stronger woman on the planet. She had tough him countless times that when she gave him the signal to flee, he had to obey.

He was having an internal fight with what was he supposed to do, and what he wanted to do. He squeezed his eyes, and ran carefully were the exit was.

But stopped when he heard her scream.

Vegeta looked back and saw the green man, above his mother. He was raping her.

Vegeta's mind went black and everything happened in a blur. He turned around and blasted himself against the green alien. For a couple of seconds, he indeed damaged the green freak. Knocking him on the floor.

He was doing it, he was winning, he had his neck on his hands, he was choking him, and it was working!

"Vegg"

He heard the creature trying to say his name. The fucking frog was dying, and his voice, his voice sounded so different. Now he was scratching his face.

And the feeling was too real.

He only blinked, and when he opened his eyes, the green alien wasn't there anymore, but on his hands were the neck of a blue haired woman who was already turning blue.

A/U: Sorry for not updating lately!. I've been bombarded with work, so I thought you deserved a longer chapter.

I'm still looking for a beta, or whatever is called. I need someone to help me with the grammar in my stories, I'm still confused with the use of some verbs, and I also keep trying to tell the story in my language in my head, and I make a literal translation... so literal sometimes that it doesn't work in English... so yeah. Please someone send me a pm or something if you're free... and bored... =D

Thank you for reading and for your reviews!
