And there was light...ch.4

By: firefly

Note: *blinks* Well gee?I was shocked when I saw how many reviews I got for the last chapter.

Thanx a lot! Heh?I loved it when I had Goku telling Bulma off. And by reading your reviews, I saw that you were glad I did. Anyway, we are back to Veggie and the scouts. Wanna see what happens when veggie wakes up to see that he?s in an apartment with five young teenage girls? Well, read and find out. Oh and please review. The more you do, the faster I will write.

Sunlight poured through the window showering the five scouts with light and warmth.

Makoto flinched in her sleep and cracked open her deep brown eyes. She rubbed her eyes and blinked looking at the clock.

?Eight ?o? clock?? She muttered as she sat up. A small smile came to her lips as she looked at the others sleeping peacefully. Usagi was lying facedown in her pillow and made muffled snores.

Amy had an open book on her face and Rei and Minako were curled up into balls.

Makoto reached over and tapped each of them on the shoulder.

?You guys?? She whispered. ?Time to get up.?

Usagi groaned. ?But I don?t wanna go to study hall mom?I wanna sleep?? She mumbled in her dream-like state. Makoto rolled her eyes and poked her under her ribs.

Usagi yelped and sat up with wide eyes.

?Shh!? Makoto said giggling. Usagi looked at her bewildered and then smiled picking up a pillow and whacking Makoto with it.

The others woke up squinting at the sunlight that blinded the room.

?Good morning!? Minako said as she stretched lazily.

Rei yawned and got to her feet. Amy sat up and her eyes suddenly widened.

?Hey! Did you all forget about Makoto?s houseguest!?? She whispered with wide eyes.

The others froze. ?You?re right!? Minako gasped. ?I totally forgot!?

?I?m not so sure about this?? Rei murmured. ?Don?t worry!? Usagi said cheerfully.

?He won?t be able to do much! I mean, he?s hurt?? She said as her face went pale as she remembered the blood. ?Why don?t we check up on him and see how he?s doing?? Minako suggested. ?Don?t you think we should eat first?? I?m hungry!? Usagi whined.

Makoto shrugged. ?Sure! What would you like??

?Pancakes!!!? Usagi shrieked clapping her hands.

?Be quiet you dumb bunny!? Hissed Rei.

Usagi ran into the kitchen and sat at the table.

Rei and the others walked after her. Rei cast a glance down the hall at Makoto?s bedroom.

She flinched uncomfortably as a wave of energy erupted through her senses as she went passed the room. As soon as Makoto laid the plates of pancakes on the table, Usagi attacked it and devoured it in five seconds flat. ?That was great Mako-chan!? She chirped.

The others sweat-dropped and started their breakfast.

After they were finished, Amy stood up. ?I?ll go check on him.? She said as she excused herself.

?I?ll come with you!? Minako and the others chirped as they went after her.

Amy stopped at the door and opened it stepping in with the others behind her.

Her eyes widened with shock as she spotted the stranger sitting up in bed and facing the other side of the room. He tensed and suddenly whipped his head in her direction.

Amy couldn?t even gasp as he vanished from the bed in a blur and reappeared in front her. The next thing she knew, she was pinned down against the bed as he stared at her in the face holding her shoulders in an iron grip.

?Amy!? They all cried out in shock. Amy lay there staring up back at the stranger to stunned to even blink. The stranger suddenly whipped his head in the directions of where the others cried out.

He blurred off and stood in the middle of the room.

Vegeta looked at the five girls in the room in absolute confusion.

?Where am I??? He thought. A sudden wave of dizziness came over him and he clutched his head in his hands as his vision blurred.

Amy scrambled off the bed and ran to the others who looked at him in shock.

?Where am I??? Vegeta thought again before a black curtain of darkness clouded his mind causing him to pass out. Makoto grabbed Amy and they all stared completely stunned as the stranger clutched his head and fell to the ground with a ?thump.?

Rei was the first to speak. ?What did I tell you??? She said.

?You okay Amy?? Minako and Makoto asked gently.

Amy nodded shakily. ?I can?t believe it?h-he moved so fast?I couldn?t even see him!? She said shouting with wide eyes.

Usagi whimpered and stood behind Rei.

Amy wrenched herself away from the others. ?You don?t understand!? She protested.

?How could a person possibly move that fast! Its impossible!?

Makoto sighed. ?Amy?? She said reaching forward.

?No!? She protested again. ?And another thing! How on Earth could he possibly get up and move that fast if he?s hurt and has lost a pint of blood! How could he possibly heal that fast!??

Rei spoke up quietly. ?I don?t think he?s human??

?What!?? Usagi shrieked. Minako nodded. ?I agree with Rei! I mean, what kind of a human has hair like that! Its defying gravity!?

?I don?t know?? Usagi mumbled looking at his unconscious figure.

?He looks pretty knocked out to me??

?Wee don?t just stand there guys! We can?t just leave him lying there on the floor! Help me bring him to the bed.? Makoto commanded as she walked over to him.

?He could be evil Makoto! Why are you helping him?!? Rei said angrily.

?Not everyone is evil Rei! He probably did what he did because he was confused.? Minako said as a matter of fact.

Rei sighed giving up. Makoto and Minako stared down at him.

?So?any idea how we get him up on your bed??? Minako asked blushing slightly.

?Heh heh?? Makoto laughed sheepishly as she looked down hopelessly at the unconscious figure.

?You grab one arm and I?ll grab the other.? Suggested Minako.

?We?ll all help!? Usagi piped up. All five of the scouts surrounded him. Minako grabbed his left arm as Makoto grabbed the other. Usagi grabbed one foot and Rei took the other.

Amy ran over to the bed and fixed the messed up covers and pillows.

?Ready?? Makoto asked. They all nodded.

?One, two, THREE!? They groaned with effort as they pathetically tried to lift him, practically dragging him to the bed.

As soon as they put him on the bed they collapsed on the floor panting.

?He?s pretty heavy for someone who is a foot shorter than Mamoru!? Usagi said with wide eyes.

?Probably all that muscle?? Minako said giggling.

They looked down at Amy who was looking at the stranger with a confused frown on her face.

All their eyes widened when Amy suddenly kneeled forward and reached out.

?Amy! What are you doing!?? Usagi and Minako shrieked.

They scrambled to their feet and ran towards her. They stopped short when they realized what she was doing. Amy took the scissors and cut the gauze. She slowly started to unwrap it.

Minako and Usagi giggled turning away.

Amy?s eyes widened with shock as she unwrapped the last strand.

Rei and Makoto?s mouths dropped open.

Amy stared in wonder at what used to be bleeding gashes.

They were now two times less severe and looked like long mild cuts.

She reached out and swallowed as she dared to touch it.

?Amy!? Rei hissed between clenched teeth. Amy ignored her and reached forward, her hand trembling slightly. She took a deep breath and touched the cuts.

Makoto sucked in a breath as Minako and Usagi continued to giggle.

Amy?s eyes widened slightly with wonder as she traced her finger gently across the cuts.

She moved back and stared at the others with wide eyes.

?He?? She said beckoning towards him. ?Is no ordinary person??

Makoto and Rei exchanged looks.

Minako and Usagi stopped giggling and turned around.

Amy took a deep breath. ?I think Rei is right?I don?t think he?s human-

She was suddenly cut off from a quiet groan. They all looked down at the figure.

He frowned slightly in his sleeping state. ?Did you hear that!?? Makoto whispered.

They all nodded and surrounded the bed from all sides as they kneeled over staring to see what would happen.

Vegeta?s head was pounding. He could feel the cloudiness leave his vision and mind as he groaned in pain. His eyes twitched as they slowly began to open.

Vegeta opened his eyes half way and saw nothing but white. But it slowly started to fade and his vision started to clear. His eyes widened when he caught sight of five heads surrounding him from all sides and large eyes peering at him curiously.

He blinked and could finally see normally. His eyes widened even more when he saw that the five heads belonged to five girls. Amy and the others stared in shock as the figure opened his eyes and stared directly at Amy who was in the middle between the others.

Usagi blinked as he opened his eyes to reveal deep, dark pools of ebony. His eyes were cold and held no emotion whatsoever.

?What the hell?? Where am I?? Who the hell are these?girls??? Vegeta thought completely bewildered. His gaze settled on Amy.

?Its that girl from before?? he thought in shock.

He suddenly sat up so fast that they all fell backwards yelping.

Vegeta looked around the room in confusion not recognizing anything.

Amy came to her feet first and the others followed.

?What is your name?? Amy asked gently.

Vegeta looked in her direction and studied her face.

Blue hair, large blue eyes, very pretty.

Amy looked at him as he seemed to be struggling for an explanation.

?We won?t hurt you.? Minako said gently like Amy. ?We just want to know who you are.?

?Hurt me?? I doubt it?? Vegeta thought.

He looked at each of them in turn.

The tall brown haired one looked at him with large brown eyes, another pretty face.

Next was a blond with two long pigtails streaming from the sides of her head. She seemed slightly frightened. The other one had raven black hair and dark eyes and looked feisty and was staring with the slightest bit of anger in her large eyes. Another pretty one.

Next to her stood another cheerful looking blond. She stared at him curiously.

His wide eyes suddenly narrowed and he glared. The scouts moved back in surprise from the force of his intense glare. Vegeta couldn?t think, couldn?t speak, couldn?t do anything. His mind felt blank. As if someone had erased all emotion from his soul.

It was back. The same cold exterior that had existed in his life before he had met?Bulma?

But his mind was blank of any emotion of her either.

He growled slightly, causing the girls to back up even more with wide frightened eyes.

?How the hell did I get here??? He thought confused. ?And who the hell are these girls???

?W-we just want to know your name?? Makoto stuttered as the stranger stared at them unnervingly with anger dancing in his deep, cold ebony eyes.

Usagi stared at him in wonder.

His face held no emotion. His eyes were soulless, and if looks could kill?

Vegeta ignored the brown haired one and looked down at his mid-section to see long cuts spreading over his skin, and gauze at the foot of the bed.

?They did this?? He thought in slight surprise.

?But why?? They don?t even know who I am?? He excused the thoughts and forced himself to get up.

Minako and Usagi gasped sharply as he got to his feet.

Vegeta stumbled a bit but managed to get his balance.

He turned and looked at the five girls again. They all looked nervous and surprised except for the blue haired one. She stared him directly in the eyes with a look of curious wonder on her face.

She seemed to be slightly confused and frustrated about something as they both stared at each other. ?Can you speak??? The blue haired one asked.

Vegeta slightly cocked his head to the side. Her tone was intelligent, gentle but firm

But again, he refused to say anything. There was no point in saying anything else ever again.

The only thing he held dear had been thrown back in his face and shattered his remaining soul.

Why should he speak now?? If his life before Bulma had been like living through hell?and had been even worse after she had left him broken?why should he even exist now?

He was just a nothing, a nobody, a extra piece of matter wasting space in the universe.

Just a?Saiyan?

?Can you speak??? She asked again. ?Or do you refuse to speak??

Vegeta couldn?t help but smirk at her cautiousness and formality. She didn?t even know who he was or what he was capable?yet?she actually cared to know who he was.

All of their eyes widened when he suddenly smirked. It seemed to suit his cold face perfectly.

Minako and Makoto couldn?t help but get weak in the knees.

Usagi just continued to cower behind the rigid Rei, and Amy held her ground with a determined look on her face.

?Now I know you can understand me.? She said. ?But why do you refuse to speak??

Vegeta?s smirk slowly faded. ?Perhaps I should say?? He thought for a moment.

?Show myself that I still have some pride left in me??

?Tell us your name.? She repeated again.

Vegeta looked her directly in the eye.

His face remained expressionless and so did his tone. His voice came out low and husky with no emotion whatsoever. With the simplest tone he said,

?Why should I???
