Matchmaker from hell pt.6

By: Firefly

Note: *smirks* Not too many people commented on what they would have done if I had paired veggie and eighteen together. *Grins insanely* Heh heh… those two would make one helluva interesting couple eh…? Anyway… if you wanna see a pic of them, I dug two up from one of my six overloading folders. You can go ahead and take a peek down below.

Like it…? Tell me in one of your reviews and I might put up another one. For now, please read and review. Thanx.

Matchmaker from hell pt.6

“Maybe it’s a spell or something!” Gohan suggested as he and Piccolo and Krillan walked through the woods. “I mean, look at dad! And Tien and Chow-su!” Piccolo shuddered at the use of Chow-su’s name. “I don’t know about Tien and Chow-su…they’ve always been a little…strange.” Krillan mumbled. Gohan suddenly froze. “Hey! If it’s happening to dad and Chow-su, it could be happening to mom, Vegeta and Bulma!” Piccolo and Krillan stared at him. Krillan suddenly burst out laughing. “Oh sure Gohan! I bet Yamcha and Bulma are back together now and that your mom and Vegeta have patched up their differences!” He exclaimed.

“It could happen…” Piccolo said quietly.

Krillan stopped laughing as he and Gohan stared at him in shock.

“Don’t you dare say that again Krillan!” Gohan mumbled. “Vegeta and my mom…? No way.”

ChiChi looked up at Vegeta, her face expressionless. “Y-you’re what…?” She whispered.

Vegeta took in a sharp breath and his fists tightened at his sides.

“I said I’m sorry…” His voice came out quietly, as if it was filled with shame.

‘He’s actually apologizing…’ ChiChi thought. ‘It might actually mean something.’

“You’re sorry…” ChiChi repeated. He didn’t answer. ChiChi took a step forward now face to face with him. For a moment nothing moved, as the two stared at each other.

“Then…” ChiChi said, “Why did you leave me…?”

Vegeta tensed and looked as if he were going to snap.

“I…I had to…” He murmured. ChiChi blinked.

“So…you left me to kill myself because you had to leave...?” ChiChi said quietly with a hint of laughter in her voice.

“But answer me this simple question…why?” ChiChi said now angry.

Vegeta bit his lower lip and tried to hold in his growing fury and hurt. “Y-you wouldn’t understand…” He said slowly, bowing his head again.

ChiChi narrowed her eyes in anger. “I wouldn’t understand…? No Vegeta! It’s you! You don’t understand! You can’t just leave someone like that! I’M HUMAN DAMMIT!” ChiChi shrieked.

Vegeta’s head snapped up as if she had just slapped him.

That had finally done it.

Vegeta grabbed ChiChi by the shoulders and shoved her hard against the wall pinning her there. ChiChi’s eyes widened with shock as he started to shake her furiously.

“YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND! I’M NOT HUMAN! I CAN’T DO THIS!” Vegeta screamed shaking uncontrollably. “S-stop! Vegeta! You’re hurting m-me!” ChiChi cried.

Vegeta stopped almost immediately and stared at ChiChi breathing heavily.

ChiChi trembled as tears formed at the corners of her eyes.

“There’s your answer.” He said as he released her and backed away.

ChiChi hugged her shoulders and stared at him fearfully. Vegeta put his head in his hands and sat at the edge of her bed. ChiChi took a step forward and stopped fearing what he might do to her. “V-Vegeta…?” She whispered as she took another step.

“I’m sorry I…I didn’t mean for that to happen…” ChiChi said sounding like a frightened child. Gathering her courage, ChiChi slowly made her way to her bed and stood beside him.

Holding her breath she sat down beside him. Vegeta looked up at her and her eyes widened with absolute shock.

His eyes were glittering with held in tears. But he quickly blinked them away refusing to shed them.

‘Is Vegeta…crying…?’ ChiChi wondered as she studied his face.

Without a word she edged closer and leaned forward. Vegeta blinked and his mouth opened slightly as ChiChi embraced him tightly, wrapping her arms around his neck and burying her face in his shoulders. Vegeta looked slightly to the side as he felt her tears soak onto his skin.

“I’m sorry,” he heard her murmur. Vegeta closed his eyes as he lifted his arms unconsciously to return the hug as a small smile found it’s way to ChiChi’s lips.

Goku scooped the last bit of dirt out of the grave he had prepared for his beloved Lucy. He sniffed and wiped his eyes as he stared at Lucy’s final resting place. His bottom lip trembled slightly. “I’m sorry Lucy!!!” Goku wailed as he held his arms out to the sky. “OH KAMI WHY!?!? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TAKE MY BELOVED LUCY!?!?” Goku sobbed as he hunched over the remains of Lucy.

He cried quietly as he lifted Lucy gingerly and laid her inside her grave. He looked away as he started to sprinkle the dirt over Lucy. After he was done he stared at it and patted it firmly. Bouquets of freshly picked flowers that Goku had picked were laid upon the dirt. “I never knew you well Lucy…” Goku murmured as the wind passed through his hair. “All I knew was that you and me loved each other, and that you liked Buffy The Vampire Slayer as much as I did…and that your favorite color was green…and that you had a step brother named Maurice…” Goku mumbled. “And that you hated apple pie…” Goku’s face scrunched up as he threw himself over Lucy’s grave. “FORGIVE ME LUCY!!! I DIDN’T MEAN IT!!! KAMI I’M A MURDERER!!!” Goku screamed. He lay there and cried until he could cry no more.

He lay there reduced to nothing but a shell of his past self. Since he couldn’t produce any more tears he sniffled and whimpered. “I would do anything to have you back right now…” Goku murmured. “I wish…” Goku trailed off as his eyes widened. He jumped to his feet with a HUGE grin spreading across his face. “That’s it!” Goku yelled to no one in particular. “I’ll wish Lucy back with the dragon balls!” He turned to the small grave and a solemn look spread across his face.

“Don’t worry Lucy…I’ll bring you back!” Goku said as he turned and took off towards Capsule Corp.

“It could be a warning of the arrival of the great apocalypse…” Piccolo suggested with his hand under his chin. Krillan shook his head. “We already thought of that!” Gohan sighed. His eyes wandered toward the sky. ‘Oh dad…I wish you could give us a sign of what’s happening to you…’ Gohan thought. At that moment Goku flew right across the sky in a blur of speed with a grin of pure determination plastered on his face. “Dad!” Gohan cried out jumping to his feet.

“Where!?” Krillan and Piccolo shouted at the same time.

Gohan looked towards them with a serious look on his face. “You guys…I think Lucy’s death has affected dad in more ways than we know…” Piccolo and Krillan exchanged looks.

“He’s headed for Capsule Corp…” Gohan said sternly.

“How do you know?” Krillan asked surprised.

Gohan faced the other way and looked at the trail of light Goku left behind.

“The dragon ball locater.”

**********

Goku barged in through the Capsule Corp doors without even knocking. He turned his head to the right direction. He could sense Bulma and Yamcha’s ki but not Vegeta’s. Goku walked down the hall and burst into the room. His mouth dropped open as he spotted a dark haired guy and Bulma making out on the couch. No way in heaven and Earth that THAT could possibly Vegeta.

“HOLY CRAP TO KING KI, HIGH HEAVEN AND BACK!!!” Goku screeched.

Bulma and Yamcha practically leapt out of their skins. They both scrambled away from each other and stood up gaping. Goku stared back pointing with his jaw hanging open.

“Oh Goku…it’s just you…” Bulma said relieved. Yamcha sighed and chuckled.

Goku just continued to stare and point. Bulma frowned.

“Goku! Snap out of it!” Goku blinked and dropped his arm.

“B-Bulma…does Vegeta know about this…?” Goku said with anger flickering briefly across his face. Bulma and Yamcha ‘humphed.’ “I could care less about that egotistical basterd!” She snapped.

“Anyway…I’ve broken it off with him!” Goku’s eyes widened.

“And he didn’t care…?” Bulma and Yamcha glared. Goku raised his hands up in front of him protectively. “Geez…what happened to you Goku…?” Yamcha asked wincing. Goku was covered with dirt, his eyes were blood shot and puffy and his hair was messier than usual.

Goku swallowed a lump that rose in his throat. “B-Bulma…” Goku whispered with a hysteric hint in his voice. “I need…the dragon ball…locater…” He said between deep breaths. Bulma gave him an odd look. “Goku…are you all righ”- Bulma was suddenly cut off when Goku rushed over to her and grabbed her by the shoulder with a partially insane look in his eyes.

“Bulma…” He said his voice rising. “I NEED the dragon ball locater…”

Yamcha came behind Goku and put his hand on his shoulder. “Goku! What’s wrong with you!?”

Goku whipped around his eyes blazing red. Yamcha fell backwards on his butt startled.

“You won’t give it huh? HUH!?!? I’LL MAKE YOU GIVE IT!!!” Goku said with a psychotic grin spreading across his face. He turned around and lunged after Bulma.

She shrieked and jumped out of the way causing Goku to miss and flip over on the other side of the couch. Bulma grabbed Yamcha and pulled him to his feet.

“Yamcha!” Bulma cried. “What’s wrong with Goku!?”

Yamcha opened his mouth but then yelped when Goku jumped over the couch and onto the cushions, his eyes blood red and that disturbing grin still plastered across his face.

“PEEKABOO!!!” Goku screamed. Bulma and Yamcha shrieked and made a run for it. Goku watched them disappear down the hall as his grin got wider.

“Bulma…Yamcha…come out, come out, wherever you are…” Goku sang as he went after them.

**********

Gohan, Krillan and Piccolo ran through the open door and looked around. Gohan’s eyes widened at the mess in the living room. “Dad was here…” He whispered. Piccolo and Krillan nodded.

The trio made their way down the hall and paused at a certain door.

“There’s someone in here…two people…” Krillan whispered. “But I can’t tell who they are.” Piccolo threw the door open as they walked in. Bulma and Yamcha screamed as three shadowed figures entered the room.

Krillan and Piccolo immediately got into a fighting stance.

“GUYS! GUYS! I’T ONLY US!” Gohan yelled. Bulma and Yamcha stopped screaming and stared. “Close the damn door Krillan!” Yamcha hissed with fear all over his face.

“It’s Goku! He’s lost it!” Krillan immediately slammed the door. The three made their way over to Bulma and Yamcha. “You guys…I know that you’re worried about Goku right now…but are you sure you should be clinging to each other like that…? I mean, what’s Vegeta gonna do?” Krillan asked.

“GOD DAMN IT! I BROKE UP WITH HIM!!!” Bulma screeched.

“WHAT!?!” Krillan, Gohan and Piccolo screamed.

They all suddenly whirled around when someone pounded on the locked door until their fist went right through the wood seriously splintering it. The door blew down as a Goku stepped in.

“HERE’S GOKU!” He shrieked insanely with his eyes blazing a furious red and with several veins popping above his skin.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Everyone screamed.
