Chapter 7

 

~*~*~*~

 

Vegeta flew towards Chichi’s house as fast as he could, behind him he could hear Seventeen yelling insults, why couldn’t he just shut up? Stupid robot!  Damn Bulma! What did that blasted machine have that he didn’t? Nothing! There was nothing that the metal freak had that Vegeta didn’t…except blue eyes…Vegeta frowned to himself, blue eyes…did she like men with blue eyes? Vegeta scoffed, that couldn’t be the reason.

 

He frowned as another though occurred to him, if she was heading towards Chichi’s house with Gohan that meant that he must have passed her when he flew into the city! But how could he not have sensed her? It made no blasted sense! Unless of course Bulma really had become one of them, in the full sense, but would she really have gone so far? Sure maybe he’d been ignoring her a little lately, but that was only because he was trying to train harder, not because he didn’t still want her!

“Chichi open this door right this instant or your sons going to die out here.” Bulma kicked the door again as Chichi screamed but made no move to answer it. “Look just go to your window and look out, you’ll see me here with Gohan.”

 

“Go away! Your evil! Vegeta told me how evil you are!”

 

“If I’m so evil why did I bring your son back to you?” Bulma began to raise her power level so she could bash the door down when it opened a tiny crack and Chichi snuck a peek though the door. A second later it was flung open and Chichi came stumbling out to take Gohan out of Bulma’s arms and drag him inside the house.

 

Bulma started to follow when Chichi turned around and snapped at her, “Stay out! No monsters allowed inside!” She began to close the door when Bulma stuck a foot in it and kicked the door back open.

 

“TRUNKS!” Bulma hollered at the top of her lungs, she almost cried in relief when she saw her sweet little boy come stumbling into the room from Gohan’s bedroom.

 

“Mum? Mum!” Trunks through himself into Bulma’s arms and began to cry in relief, “Father told me you were dead and that if I ever saw you again it would only be an evil machine of you. Are you dead?” Trunks buried his face in her shoulder.

 

“No honey, I’m not dead. You daddy was just telling lies again. I’m still here; I’m just living with the androids now, they’re mummy’s friends.”

 

“But daddy says there bad and that they kidnapped you!” Trunks waved goodbye to Chichi as Bulma stalked from the house, ignoring Chichi’s please to leave the boy here where she could take good care of him.

 

“Well they didn’t, there actually very nice and I’m going to take you there to live with us now. But you have to be very good and not raise your power level, can you do that?” Bulma kissed the top of Trunks head as he nodded. “Good boy. Now let’s go…”

 

“Go where?” Bulma slowly turned around to face Vegeta who was breathing hard and had obviously just landed. She mentally cursed herself for not paying attention to her surroundings and checking for Vegeta when she knew he would be around somewhere.

 

“Going home.” Bulma glared at Vegeta,

 

“Bulma…” Vegeta expression changed to one of confusion and almost of pain, “Why did you do it? Why did you leave me for that thing? I love you, I always loved you.”

 

“Did you? Maybe you did Vegeta, but it wasn’t enough anymore. I never saw you and when I did you always treated me badly. The only person who ever treated me like someone special was Seventeen. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m taking my son…”

 

“I don’t think so. What gives you the right to take him away form his natural father?” Vegeta took another menacing step forward.

 

“What gives me the right? What gives me the right? I’ll tell what gives me the right! The fact that the boy’s father is a violent and uncaring man who has never said two kind words to the boy in his entire life! The fact that the boy’s father wouldn’t know how to care for the boy anyway and the fact that the mother loves the boy more! Now get out of my way Vegeta or I’ll go through you.” Bulma bared her teeth at her ex-mate and stalked toward him, ignoring Trunks whimpers.

 

“Bulma!” She turned towards Seventeens and ducked as he fired a ki ball at Vegeta. Vegeta turned and growled before launching at him like a wild animal; Vegeta was very, very angry.

 

Bulma hugged Trunks and reassured him as she took off and headed towards the lab, ignoring the sounds of heavy fighting behind her. Although the fight would have been interesting to watch, Bulma didn’t really care too much who won. Both of them had seemed too tired to really do each other much damage.

 

“Mummy? Don’t you love Daddy anymore?” Trunks asked in a small voice when he had finished crying.

 

“Love him?” Bulma sighed, “I suppose part of me is always going to love your father Trunks but another part of me wont. I love Seventeen now, I know he’s been nasty in the past but he’s changed now! He loves me and treats me better then your dad ever did.”

 

“But I still love daddy, and I don’t like the android.” Trunks glared at Bulma began to squirm, “I want to go and fight with daddy! Lemme go!” He began to struggle wildly in her arms.

 

“Trunks! No!” Bulma hit him on the back of the neck and felt his little body go slack. One day he’d understand that she had had to take him away from his father because she feared for his safety and sanity growing up alone with Vegeta. Although Chichi and Vegeta had been getting awfully close…was it possible that they…? No. That was unthinkable, Vegeta hated ‘Kakarot’s mate’ with a passion.

 

Behind them Bulma heard a big boom and she paused in mid flight as the very air seemed to tremor with the force of the explosion.

Seventeen slowly picked him self up off the ground and glared at Vegeta, “Nice try but I guess your big bang attack just isn’t what it used to be.”

 

“Shut up…an…droid.” Vegeta panted as he landed and attempted to catch his breath. The two fighters faced each other, both of them knew that hey couldn’t possibly finish this fight tonight; they were both far too tired to go on.

 

“Mark my words, I’m going to hunt you down and kill you. Then I’m going to get your sister and if I have to I’ll even get rid of Bulma. I’m gong to get my son back and I’m going to rid the planet of your kind.” Vegeta spat blood on the ground.

 

“Nice speech.” He turned and started walking away, his voice floating back to Vegeta through the darkness, “I guess I’ll be seeing you then.” Seventeen blasted off with a laugh that echoed through the night.
