Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ! The Ankh: The next morning everyone had packed and were launching into the air to find the next dragon ball.
“Ouch! Don’t carry me like that Yamcha! It hurts.” Squealed Bulma as she shifted uncomfortably in Yamcha’s arms. Vegeta flew over to the two giving Yamcha a dirty glance and rechecking Bulma’s injured arm.
“Fool, you’ve pulled her bandages and strained the muscle. Give her to me.”
“I won’t let you touch her! Murderer!”
“You’ll let me or I’ll make you.”
Being the coward that he was, Yamcha handed Bulma to Vegeta without a second word of protest. Vegeta held Bulma to his chest, without even touching her arm. She let out a sigh of relief that the pain had stopped. Vegeta looked into her eyes, and became lost for a moment. Pools of blue had swallowed him whole.
“Let’s go Romeo!” said Piccolo.
Vegeta jerked up suddenly. “Watch what you say, Namek.”
Yamcha didn’t here the last word that Piccolo spoke. If he had, he would have been forewarned of what was to happen next.
- that night and one more dragon ball later-
Vegeta was inspecting Bulma’s arm with a scowl on his face: Yamcha was waiting for her in the Capsule home.
‘Damn him. Why doesn’t she want me? I’m right here and she’s impatiently looking toward their damn abode! I will have her, she will want me.’
“What’s wrong Vegeta?”
“Nothing.” He barked.
“Okay.”
“Why do you mate with the fool?”
“Huh?”
“Why did you choose him of all the stronger mates you could have?”
“Well, he’s sweet and kind and cute and I like him.”
“You ‘like’ him.”
“Yes.” She said.
“You do not ‘love’ him?”
“Of course I do!”
“But you said ‘like’ the first time.” He said coyly.
“I know,” she said sadly and looked at her arm. Vegeta had been done for some time now examining it, “Thank you.”
“I was just making sure you wouldn’t slow us down tomorrow!”
“That’s not what I meant for, but thank you for taking care of my arm as well.”
“What did you thank me for the first time?”
“Nothing, Vegeta.” She answered and kissed him on the cheek and went inside her temporary home.
Vegeta lifted two fingers to his face where she had kissed him and then tasted her minute and sweet residue.
And purred.
