Bulma walks into the bathroom and gazes at herself in the mirror. <i>I look...wild...</i> She rests a hand on her tummy, again feeling that small ki and she smiles. She remembers only a year ago that she and Vegeta had first met in the battle between Goku and him. Then the way he'd treated her on Namek, she hated him for a while, but that secret passion for him had always been there since their eyes first met. She looks from her tummy to the mirror and cocks her head to the side. She rubs at her mud caked face and a bit falls away. She sighs. <i>I might as well get a shower...I can't walk around looking like this and I'm a little tired.</i><br>Vegeta looks into the mirror of his own bathroom, his whole body caked with mud, giving him the appearance of a wild man with hair that stuck up on end. He smirks, his dark eyes smoldering as his tail flitted to and froe behind him. He'd liked the way that Bulma had used her strength of Yumcha. <i>She shows potential, but that's not the reason why you wanted her a saiyan. I Love her...Love...such a strange emotion. Of all people...why me?</i> He thinks about it for a while, chipping away a few pieces of mud from his blue spandex. He stares down at his feet then his eyes slowly rise to the mirror, gazing at himself for a moment. <i>I love her and I need her.</i> The thunder rumbles overhead, causing Capsule Corp. to shudder. Vegeta looks up at the ceiling. <i>This storm is certainly a lot stronger than normal....hmmph..no matter. I suppose a shower is in need, I can't be walking around like this now should I?</i> As he showered, her words ran through his mind. "Gomen Vege Chan...I know this must be hard for you...I know you wish that I were more like a saiyan and then you could accually be rough with me but I am only human..."<br>Vegeta looks up for a moment. <i>Wait, she isn't human anymore....</i><br>Bulma steps out of the shower, her body cleansed of the horrible mud. She nods in satisfaction and stops, staring at the tail she had. It moved and twitched constantly and she wonders just how saiyans ever got used to it. She supposed that she too would grow to tolerate it. She found it's moving around distracting. She sighs, carefully drying it with her towel as she sat on the toilet seat. She looks up when she feels another presence and she finds Vegeta standing in the doorway with only a towel around his waist and his body clean and wet as well. His arms where at their usual, crossed.<br>Bulma releases her tail, allowing it to resume it's twitcy motion. "Vegeta...what is it?"<br>Vegeta lifts his chin a little, looking down at her with that smirk of his.<br>Bulma melts, that smirk was what first had attracted her to him. It gave him character but she wonders why he is just standing there looking at her like that. "Vegeta, dooshite are you looking at me like that?"<br>Vegeta merely shrugs his shoulders and brings out his hand, telling her with his eyes to take his hand and to trust him.<br>Bulma stands up, smiling shyly and walking past him with a nudge of her hip against his.<br>Vegeta turns his head, watching her as she walked away to her bedroom, her hips swinging and tail curled up at the tip to keep from touching the floor.<br><i>Ah, so she wants to play so more does she?</i> Vegeta smirks and rushes after her.<br>Bulma pulls on her light blue nightie and slides beneath the covers as Vegeta pulled on a pair of white boxers that he had. He hops onto the bed, crawling towards her as Bulma watched him with those big blue eyes of hers.<br>Vegeta pounces onto her and kisses her deeply. "Bulma...."<Br>Bulma kisses back just as hard, sucking on his tongue that rolled in her mouth.<br>The lights flicker as a bright flash of lighting lit the outside, then the lights go out all together.<br>Bulma and Vegeta stop, the eerie silence somewhat disturbing.<br>Vegeta looks around, listening for a moment but after a while he shrugs his shoulders. "Hmmph, do not worry Bulma...it is just a small power outage...the lights will come back on in time but who need lights neh?"<br>Bulma giggles as Vegeta's fingers graze over her ribs. She nods before feeling the force of his lips upon hers once more.<br>Suddenly, a siren goes off outside as winds blew against Capsule Corp.<br>Bulma shoves Vegeta off of her and bolts upright as her parents ran in with a latern. "Okaasan...Tousan...Nani is wrong?!"<br>Vegeta winces, his sensitive hearing picking up the loud siren. He wonders if Bulma could hear it and he knew she could just by looking at her pained expression. He swings his legs over the side of the bed and brushes aside the curtains of the window to find a large wall of clouds not far from where he stood by the window. He squints, realizing that it was a tornado. <i>Damnit, why did mother nature have to fuck with me tonight. OF ALL NIGHTS! I was about to make love with Bulma but nOOOoooo some damned mostrosity of the clouds has to ruin it for me...just lovely. I suppose I'll have to take shelter like any other baka on this god forsaken planet! Grrrr.</i><br>Bulma jumps out of bed and follows her parents to the shelter with Vegeta close behind.<br>The tornado was bareling down on them fast.<br>"This is the worst in years Bulma, but I knew it would happen eventually...it always does," replies Mr. Briefs.<br>"Oh dear, the house is shaking..," Mrs. Briefs replies with a shakey voice. "We're right in it's path..."<br>Mr. Briefs leads them to the lab to where there were a few interior closets. He jumps into one with his wife and points to another where Vegeta and Bulma could go.<br>Vegeta decends the stairs, grumbling and growling about the damned tornado the whole time. "God damn storm...always has to happen at a time like this. If I find out Kami is in on this I'll have his head for it!"<br>Bulma frowns but gasps as the house shudders and the walls cracked She jumps into the closet with Vegeta.<br>All is silent for a moment before a defending roar comes from above and before the couple knows what's happend Bulma is being flung through the air, away from the protection of Vegeta's arms.<br>Vegeta screams Bulma's name as he hung on for dear life to the broken doorway. His ki surrounds him but he is barely able to move as the winds were a lot stronger than he'd ever felt before. To him it felt like the gravity room and he knows he must not give up as he stares up into the heart of the tornado. He had to get Bulma...she was in there. Suddenly, all goes black as the whole house fell onto him.<br><font color=blue>~~~~~Morning~~~~~</font><br>(if you don't already know, Goku has already returned from space). "BULMAAA! VEGETAAAA! HELLOOOOO!," Goku yells. He looks around at the rubble that surrounded him. He could barely feel their ki and there was so much damage that he couldn't locate the exact place of where anyone was. He looks over at his son and wife who were searching the rubble as well. He sighs and kicks a lonely brick and looks down. There was a hand sticking out and his hopes soar as he digs in the rubble and his wife and son join him.<br>Vegeta opens his eyes a little upon feeling a slap across his face.<br>"Vegeta! wake up," Chi Chi calls.<br>"Wake up," Goku and Gohan reply in unison.<br>"K..Kakarotto...," Vegeta whispers as blood stung his eyes. (Vegeta is in his white boxers but that's the least of our worries right now).<br>Chi Chi grabs a cloth from an emergency kit she had and dabs the large wound on Vegeta's head and holds it there to stop the bleeding.<br>"Are you going to be okay Vegeta?," Goku asks his friend.<br>Vegeta nods weakly but suddenly he remembers Bulma being pulled away from him in the wind. He sits up and looks around frantically. "B..Bulma!"<br>Mr. and Mrs. Briefs look up from their safe place under a tree to find Vegeta. They get up and run over to him.<br>"Where is my little girl?," Mrs. Briefs asks with tears in her eyes.<br>"Bulma...was....sucked away.....I...I tried to hold on.....," Vegeta stutters. He tries to stand up with the help of Goku and he looks around, limping a little to a large pile of wood and shingles. He searches for her ki but he can't feel anything. He searches harder, not knowing that he was starting to cry because he had a bad feeling that she was either dead or near death and he could feel her. Through his histeria he stops and concentrates on their bond and he reaches out with all the love he had for her and after many suspenceful minutes he finds her and he runs over, tripping and stumbling along the way. He stops at a part of the pile of wood and shingles and starts digging. Everyone joins in till they found her unconsious and bleeding from a wound, a sharp piece of wood is lodged into her side.<br>Mrs. Briefs cries out and looks away, the sight of her daughters blood frightening her.<br>Chi Chi's eyes widen upon the sight of a tail on Bulma but that was the least of her worries. She looks up to find Goku helping Vegeta carefully pull Bulma free and lay her in the damp grass.<br>Vegeta kneels at her side waiting for Goku to give him a sensu but Goku was fresh out.<br>Goku frowns, his pain obvious to Vegeta.<br>Chi Chi holds Gohan back to keep him from seeing the horrible sight of the blood gushing from Bulma's side.<br>"B..Bulma...," Vegeta replies shakily, not caring that he was near an emtional breakdown. He couldn't loose her now... <i>Oh god! The baby!</i> Vegeta rests his hand on Bulma's tummy and sighs with relief upon still feeling the small ki. It was growing weaker though from the wound in Bulma's side and if she didn't get healed fast then she and their unborn child would die. He would not tolerate that and he feels the comforting hand of Goku rest on his shoulder.<br>"Th..there's no way to heal her...I'm out of sensu and Dende is on another planet...I..I know what you feel Vegeta..she's a great friend..I." <br>Vegeta smacks Goku's hand away. "HOW COULD POSSIBLY KNOW WHAT I FEEL! She's not my friend! She's my mate...and....and.......I Love her...."<br>Goku hesitates but he'd sorta known this by what he'd seen on Namek...how Bulma had cried when Vegeta was killed. He'd heard Vegeta calling out to Bulma telepathically as he was dying and he sighs.<br>"God Damnit do you hear me KAKAROTTO! I fucking love her...are you happy now that I'm humiliating myself in front of you and them! Crying like a baby?! LOOK AT ME! I'VE NEVER LOOKED SO PATHETIC IN ALL MY LIFE!"<br>Goku is silent...as well as everyone else is as Vegeta was having a break down in front of their very eyes.<br>Vegeta covers his face with his hands as he could feel Bulma's ki slowly fading. He sobs lightly..his back shuddering. "How could you possibly understand Kakarotto...your so thick headed...you never lived like I did...to know that everyone you cared about...died! My father....my fucking planet and now my mate! GOD DAMNIT WHY ME!? WHHY?"<br>Gohan's eyes widen as Vegeta just sat there, sniveling and acting histerical. He'd never known Vegeta to be like this but now that he was witnessing it...He now knew that Vegeta accually had a good heart. "It was his pride..."<br>Vegeta calms down and stares down at Bulma as her ki and his unborn childs ki lowered to an almost unreadable level.<br>Goku rests his hand on Vegeta's shoulder again. "Vegeta....I guess I don't understand and I...I'm gomen nasi for your pain and your loses... I wish I could do something about Bulma demo...there isn't."<br>Vegeta sniffles lightly rubbing at his tears and he simply brushes away Goku's hand from his shoulder and gulps. "I...I think I know.."<br>Goku's eyes widen. "Nani?"<br>Vegeta rests his hands on Bulma's stomach and he closes his eyes, concentrating on her as his hands began to glow.<br>Goku and everyone watches in amazement as Vegeta's ki surrounded him.<br>"You won't die on me woman, I won't allow...it...I'll use the gift that I've had since I was a boy." The blood from the wound on his forehead trickled down his face and his hands trembled and he pulls the sharp wood from her wound, causing more blood to flow.<br>Goku fliches but watches in amazement as Vegeta allowed his hands to rest on her wound.<br>"Heal damn you...HEAL!"<br>"Vegeta...y..you have healing powers?," Goku stutters.<br>Bulma flinches the pain subsiding and she slowly opens her eyes to find at rather distressed look on Vegeta's face as his hands hovered over her tummy; the wound in her side.....GONE!<br>Goku's eyes widen and he grins. "YOU CAN HEAL VEGETA! SAGOI! Bulma is alright!"<br>Everyone cheers and surrounds Bulma and Vegeta, patting him on the back as Bulma sat up and smiled.<br>Vegeta laughs nervously, his hands trembling as the light faded. <i>I can't believe that the gift that I thought I no longer had finally surfaced...at such a time..I am greatful.</i><br>Goku hugs Vegeta tightly and releases him, knowing how Vegeta was. "Sagoi, you can heal. That's awesome, you've got to show me that technique some time!"<br>Bulma hungs Vegeta tightly as he put an arm around her.<br>"So I guess now isn't a good time to ask how Bulma got that tail," Chi Chi replies with a nervous laugh.<br>Everyone falls silent.<br>"Oi," Bulma sighs.<br>There would be much explaining to do but for now she was alive and so was the child that grew in her womb. She leans against Vegeta as he holds her to him tightly. She supposes that she'd have to explain from the beginning till now on how she'd come to being a saiyan. She sighs, " It all started when Vegeta first came to Earth..."<br><font color=blue><center>The End<br></font><br><Font color=red><b>For now...
