She rests her head on his chest as the winds blew through her hair. She losens her death grip on his neck, no longer afraid that he would drop her. She smiles, closing her eyes for a while. Being in his arms, she'd begun to relax, feeling sleep taking its toll on her. Her eyelashes flutter before slowly closing.<br>Vegeta looks down at her and smiles, he'd never been more content in all his life. Being away from the world that bound him to the rules of being his planet's new King someday. Someday... Being King was the least thing on his mind. Only her beautiful face and the bond that they now shared reminded him of the good things that await him if he chose to stay with his mate. He wonders what his future would be like if he didn't become King, leaving his planet forever to stay on this beautiful planet to be with the only thing that had ever made him smile. He holds her closer to him, his ki keeping them both warm in the cool atomosphere. Earth was everything he'd imagined. He was never the type to admire nature or anything such as that, but somehow, this bond with his human mate. He was beginning to aquire her love for things that he'd never thought himself to find interest in.  His dark eyes scan the grounds and he smirks, finding the place that he'd been looking for. He slowly descends to the ground so as not to wake her just yet, feet resting on the white sands of the island that he'd found. He turns his head towards the cresent moon that shone above. He knows that if he ever stayed on this planet that he'd have to be careful of the full moon. Even though he has control of his ozaru form, he doesn't want to attract unwanted attention. He looks down at the sleeping form in his arms and slowly kneels to the ground, resting her in his lap while one arm held up her head. He pulls his left arm from under her legs. He decided to go without his gloves on this trip. He wouldn't need them... His fingers slowly rest on her pale cheek, slowly rising up to comb through her soft hair.<br>Only a week of being on this planet had changed his attitude towards many things, making him realize just how precious his mate is to him. Making love to her had proven to him that he could lead a better life than the one that his father had planned for him. He could care less about the royal life now... He only wants her... He leans over, his lips hovering over hers. He inhales deeply, her scent all around him. His tail poofs out slightly as a chill of excitement ran down his spine. He rests his lips on hers, kissing her with passion that rose from his once dark heart. <br>Her eyes slowly open to find his black embers above hers, watching her with an expression of softness that she'd never seen in his eyes since she'd met him. <i>Is this what love is?</i>, she wonders. She returns his kiss.<br><i>Yes</i>, Vegeta replies into her mind. <i>A saiyan bond is much stronger than what any human shares with another.</i><br><i>Are you my soulmate? Is that why we fell in love so fast?</i>, Bulma asks as she felt his tongue slip past her lips.<br><i>I suppose we are 'soulmates'. We are mated for life.</i><br>Bulma buries her fingers in his thick hair. <i>We'll grow old together?</i><br>Vegeta hesistates, <i>My life span is longer than yours.... Much longer...by 250 years.</i><br>Bulma pulls away from the kiss. "So you'll still be young when I'm an old lady?"<br>Vegeta nods, his face expressionless.<br>Bulma sighs, her eyes downcast to the ground, then suddenly she looks up with a smile. "Then I'll make a wish!"<br>Vegeta cocks his head to the side, "Wish?"<br>"Hai, I'll wish to age like a saiyan."<br>Vegeta raises an eyebrow, hiding his surprise. "How do you suppose to make that wish come true?"<br>"The dragonballs, but I don't suppose you know about those do you? Promise me you won't tell any of your people about them okay? Please?"<br>Vegeta nods, "You have my honor."<br>Bulma smiles, "I have the dragonballs already collected and I am keeping them safe in one of my capsules, hidden away to where only I can find them. They can make any wish come true."<br>Vegeta blinks, unable to hide his surprised expression any longer. "I see why you want to keep them a secret. If my father found out, he may do something that the whole universe would be affected by."<br>"You have a greedy father," Bulma replies.<br>Vegeta chuckles, "That's not even half of what he is girl. Add asshole to the list and then you've almost got it."<br>"I see," Bulma replies as she scans her surroundings for the first time. She gasps, "This place is beautiful. Is this what you wanted to show me?"<br>Vegeta nods, raising his face to the cresent moon once again. "Do you know about ozarus?"<br>Bulma blinks and follows his gaze to the moon. "Oh no, don't tell me you transform on a full moon like Goku does!!!"<br>Vegeta looks back down at Bulma. "Kakarotto has transformed before?"<br>"Twice, and he nearly killed me and my friends both times, but we kept cutting his tail off, but it keeps growing back."<br>Vegeta smirks. "I can imagine how you reacted."<br>"Hey, it's not funny when a huge monkey who's your friend tries to stomp you into the ground."<br>Vegeta chuckles. "Just so you know... I have control over my transformation. So if I ever do happen to turn ozaru, I won't be so wild. I can accually talk in that form you know. It was difficult when I first learned, but when I did, it came in handy."<br>Bulma smiles, "I'm glad." She rests her head against his chest and yawns. "I really like this place. Take me back here some time, maybe later or something."<br>Vegeta nods as he stands up again. "I will take you back home now."<br>Bulma nods weakly as she drifted to sleep once again.<br><font color=blue>~~~~~Morning~~~~~</font><br>Bulma yawns, the warm sun shining through her window, awakening her from sleep. She smiles, remembering that time that she and Vegeta had spent together. She blinks, her vision clearing and then she notices that she is leaning against something. She looks over her shoulder to find him there, sleeping soundly as his arms held her to him protectively. He'd kicked off his boots and now he only wore his blue spandex.<br><i>He must've been really tired when he brought me home. Boy, I'm glad my parents don't know about this. My door is locked thank Kami.</i> She finds that not only are his arms around her, but his tail is wrapped around her waist, preventing her from moving at all. She rests her head onto his hand that laid beneath her chin. She nuzzles his palm, taking in his musky scent that made her whole body tingle. She feels him stir against her and she smiles, hoping that he'd awaken only to find that he falls back asleep as he drapes his leg over her hip.<br>She sighs looking over her shoulder again to find his face next to hers, their noses touching. She watches his peaceful expression for a while as her only free arm fumbled in her bedside table drawer. She smiles when she finds the object that she'd been looking for. She raises it to her eye, focusing on his peaceful expression and she taps the button. The camera clicks with a flash, making a light wirring noise.<br>Vegeta's eyes fly open to find Bulma staring at him innocently. He smirks devilishly, knowing that she had been up to no good. "Nani is that thing?"<br>Bulma looks over to the camera in her hand. "Oh, I just took a picture of you sleeping so I could save it for my personal picture album. Just in case anything should happen, I want to remember you when you were that peaceful."<br>Vegeta raises an eyebrow, "Who said I was going anywhere?"<br>"Well, you told me that you had to go back to space some day."<br>Vegeta hmphs. "I've changed my mind." His tail tightens around her waist.<br>"Vegeta, do you mean it?"<br>Vegeta nods. "It will be difficult, but I'd rather stay here then go back to my planet. Back to my boring life."<br>Bulma smiles. "Can I take another picture of you?"<br>"Dooshite? I told you I'm not going anywhere."<br>"But Vegeta... I want to."<br>Vegeta stares at her for the longest time, their eyes locked. "What am I suppose to do?"<br>"Just sit up and look at me and I'll take a picture. I want you to look relaxed though, I don't wanna see a meanie look."<br>Vegeta releases her, giving in to her protests. He sits up, stretching his taunt muscles and yawns. -CLICK- Vegeta growls, "Why the hell did you take that picture now?!"<br>Bulma giggles.<br>"I probably looked like a damned fool with my mouth open like that."<br>"I told you Vegeta that I want pictures of you doing things that you normally wouldn't be caught doing and yawing is one of them."<br>Vegeta raises an eyebrow and pounces onto her, causing her to drop the camera onto the bed. He pins her down, his tail lashing behind him. "Time for payback girl." He crushes his lips to hers, kissing her madly as his hands roamed over her half naked body. (She's wearing a lose T shirt and a pair of underwear). Bulma wraps her legs around his waist, feeling him becoming arroused by their closeness. She smiles inwardly, allowing him to do as he pleased.<br>Suddenly, someone knocks at her door.<br>Vegeta looks up with a growl, angry that anyone would dare to interrupt him and his mate.<br>Bulma struggles and she manages to pull herself from beneath him. She stumbles to the floor before pulling herself up. She approaches the door and she looks behind her to find that he is gone. She gulps and reaches for the door knob, unlocking it then opening the door to find her mother standing there with a smile. "Morning Bulma honey. I came up to check on you and I wanted to let you know that your father and I have to go out for something. Please, I beg of you not to leave this house without Goku or Yumcha with you. I don't want those saiyans hurting you again. Alright sweety?"<br>Bulma nods, receiving a kiss on the forehead from her mother.<br>"We'll be back soon dear. I promise."<br>With that, Mrs. Briefs is gone, leaving Bulma alone. She sighs, releasing the breath that she hadn't realized she was holding. She shuts the door and turns to her empty bedroom with a sigh. "Great, I'm alone." She walks over to her bed and sits down, her feet dangling over the side. She gasps when something grabs her ankle. She looks down angrily to find Vegeta poking halfway out from under her bed. "Do you really think I'd leave just because of your mother?"<br>Bulma growls.<br>Vegeta smirks as he quickly pulled himself from beneath the bed and stood up before her.<br>Bulma stares at Vegeta, his spandex molded perfectly to his body, showing every ripple and curve of his well-developed muscles. She fumbles blindly for her camera.<br>Vegeta crosses his arms knowing what she is doing.<br>"Stay that way for just a second Vegeta," Bulma replies with a smile. "This'll only take a sec."<br>"Hurry up then girl. I hardly have patience for your so called 'pictures' that you insist on taking of me."<br>Bulma smiles as she brings the camera to her face and focused on Vegeta's posture. "Perfect," she whispers and clicks the button.<br>Vegeta turns to the sliding glass doors. "I suppose I should go now. If they find me here with you... You know what'll happen."<br>Bulma nods as she quickly stands up. "Come back to me Vegeta."<br>Vegeta smirks, "Don't I always?"<br>Bulma hugs him tightly. "Just hold me Vegeta... For a little longer. It might be awhile before I can see you. Ya know, your father and all. You know you can't take on your entire planet just for me"<br>"You doubt me?"<br>"Iie Vegeta... I just know it is a fact."<br>Vegeta sighs, holding her tightly to him. "Then I will stay a bit longer."<br>Bulma smiles as she feels his fingers rest beneath her chin and raise her face to his, his lips claiming hers in a lock of passion. It is times like this that Bulma will never forget and will always remain imprinted in her mind, for she does not know that it is memories such as these that will be all that is left of her dear beloved Vegeta...<br><font color=blue>To Be Continued...
