Chapter 2
Eventually Bulma was able to get back to her home and Goku finally arrived and killed Nappa. Vegeta was defeated but allowed to live and he escaped to space. Bulma always wondered if she would ever see that guy again and soon forgot about him and resumed her normal life...till...she heard about Namek...And so the story continues...
Bulma paced back and forth, waiting for Krillan and Gohan to return with the dragonballs or ball..whatever it was. Vegeta was somewhere on the planet and she wasn't looking forward to ever meeting him again.
She sits down on a little portable chair she had set up and tinkers with the scouter that she still had saved from Radditz. She hears the sound of someone landing behind her and thinking it was Krillan she starts yelling at him. "You stupid chrome dome...what took you so long and where's Gohan? I don't want that creepy guy Vegeta coming after me!" she places the scouter over her left eye and turns around and screams.
"Hmmph, how dare you compare me to that short little pipsqueak and...I am not creepy..or whatever you earthlings call it."
Bulma froze and her eyes met his angry ones. She watches him stare at her scouter with interest, but decides not to worry about that. She knew all that he wanted was the dragonballs.
"Where are the dragonballs?!" He steps forward and Bulma takes one step back.
"W..why would I tell you huh? Y...you big..j..jerk!"
"How dare you," Vegeta growls. "Fine, have it your way bitch." He walks up and grabs her wrist. "If you don't tell me I'll kill you!" he growls into her ear and twists her arm behind her so far it almost breaks.
Bulma yells in pain and hopes to Kami that she can be brave. "F..fine..kill me if you must, but I'll never tell you! OW! LET GO!"
"Foolish woman! Fine, if you want to die then die!" He shoots a ki blast and deliberately misses her just to frighten her.
"AIIIEEE!" Bulma turns her head away from the blast expecting death any moment, but it never came and she opens her eyes to find her soaring in the air with Vegeta gripping her sore arm. "I...I thought you were gonna kill me."
"You are my prisoner now woman. I won't kill you because how will I find the dragonballs hmm? You must think I'm stupid. Well I not."
Bulma gulps and promises to herself that she won't cry, but she could feel the tears stinging behind her eyes. Please, whatever you do Vegeta...just don't drop me, she thinks.
They land next to a lake and Vegeta throws Bulma to the ground.
Bulma yells in pain when she lands on her behind. "MY ASS!" Damn bastard, He has no manners..ARGH! I just wanna strangle his scrawnly little neck!
Vegeta watches as Bulma walks over to the lake's edge. "What are you doing woman?"
"The name's BULMA and I'm thirsty!" She cups her hands in the water and brings the fresh clear liquid to her lips and drank.
"What the hell kind of name is that?!"
"I could ask you the same question," Bulma replies while whiping her mouth. "Vegetable head," she mutters.
"What did you call me?!"
"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?! YOU CAN'T HEAR OR SOMETHING?! I SAID! VEGETABLE HEAD so bleh!" Bulma turned the other directions and crosses her arms tightly. She wouldn't cry in front of him but she could feel the tears welling in her eyes. She sits down in the grass and buries her face in her hands and sobs. "I don't care if you kill me...I just wanna go home!"
"Hmmmph, pathetic," Vegeta mumbles. Vegeta had to admire this girl for her bravery. No ordinary woman would yell at him like that and live to see the next day. He starts to approach her but stops himself. What am I doing? Why would I want to comfort her? Shes...so...damned horrible...and...and...so beautiful.. Woah, where did that thought come from? He shakes his head and notices the scouter on her face. "Where did you get that scouter?"
"Wouldn't you like to know asshole," Bulma huffs.
"RRRRRR." Vegeta growls and grabs her shirt and brings her face to his. "Damnit you'll tell me or..or I don't care! I'll kill you! Ignorant woman...you just bought yourself a one way ticket to hell."
Bulma began fighting and punching him as hard as she could and Vegeta finds this amuzing. He loved watching her struggle against him. So frail
Bulma summons up all the strength from within her and throws a hard punch into Vegeta's face. He spat blood and dropped her in surprise.
Bulma gasps and looks from her already bruising hand to Vegeta who had a hand on his face with a look or sheer surprise. "Oh Kami, I...I didn't mean to hit you!"
"The hell!?" Vegeta looks at Bulma in astonishment. "How?"
"I..I don't know! Just stay back!"
Vegeta's eyes rest on the scouter and he snatches it off of her face and places it on his own. He presses the little button on the side and notices it is in english text but he clicks again and sees a power level of 100 on Bulma. "How is it possible?" He becomes disappointed when her level went back down as her anger left her. "How did a human like you become so strong?"
Bulma thinks back to the day that she had gone to the site where Radditz and Goku had died and she collected Radditz's blood samples. She had done many experiments and after much waiting she created a permanant serum that would make her stronger like everyone else. She wanted so badly to fight with them instead of sitting on the side lines. And she thought the experiment had failed, but now she realized that it HAD worked.
She looks up at Vegeta and stutters. "I...I did an experiment to make me stronger and I took a sample of a guy named Radditz and put it in me. I thought it hadn't worked but I guess it did."
"Hmmph, your lucky...most of the people that have tried that type of experiment died. Your certainly very lucky, but don't let it go to your head." He removes the scouter and throws it back to Bulma.
Just then Zarbon lands in front of them. "I hate to interrupt but I'm on a tight schedule."
