Chapter 7

 

 

 

DISCLAIMER: I don’t own DBZ…I don’t own a monkey either…

 

 

 

OOOOOOOOOO8D (A happy worm!)

 

 

 

Vegeta yawned and hugged the warm body next to him closer. Man, he hadn’t woke up with a woman since…

 

Wait.

 

Oh shit!

 

OH SHIT!

 

Vegeta’s ebony eyes snapped open and he focused on the slumbering face of Bulma, who lay next to him. An expression that was half fear and half disbelief slowly crept across his face. He couldn’t believe that he’d slept with her. Hell, he couldn’t believe that the stubborn bloody woman had slept with him! The memories of his torturous days while he had been in heat were only fuzzy memories; he could remember only flashes of the past few days.  That was normal of course; being in heat was like being really, really drunk. You lost all inhibitions and all self-control.

 

But still…he’d slept with the woman?

 

Vegeta carefully moved her head off his chest and slowly edged across the bed away from her. One thing was for sure; he didn’t want to be around when she woke up! He reached the end of the bed and paused as another memory returned to him…oh God! Had he actually used those pick up line on her? She’d never let him live it down; she’d bring it up at every chance and would mock his loss of control around her! She’d probably make up some sort of horrible nick name like…like…he didn’t want to think what kind of a name she’d make up for him!

 

Vegeta closed his eyes as thoughts of the Z gang members laughing at him assaulted his mind; he knew the woman would blab! She’d run straight to Kakarot when they got home, would convince him to first of all kick Vegeta’s ass for taking advantage of her and then would embarrass the hell out of him by telling them all the embarrassing things he’d said and done while he was on heat.

 

So lost in these thoughts of humiliation was Vegeta that he fell off the bed with a thump.

 

A loud thump!

 

A thump that was followed by a startled yell by Vegeta, and was more then enough to wake up Bulma, and wake up she did…with a vengeance! She sat up, squealed when she saw Vegeta and wrapped a sheet around herself. “You manipulative little creature!” She hurled a pillow at Vegeta as he picked himself up off the floor. “You tricked me last night! You lied your way into bed! Shame on you Vegeta!” Her blue eyes were practically sparking with anger as she glared daggers at him.

 

“Oh, do shut up.” Vegeta muttered under his breath as he crossed his arms over his chest and stood in front of the woman, unashamed of his nakedness. “Be grateful that I’m off heat now!”

 

“Oh, I am! But don’t think that being grateful is going to be enough to stop me from hurting you!” Bulma tossed her hair over one shoulder and looked upon Vegeta as though he was a bug to be crushed.

 

Needless to say this behaviour didn’t impressive the prince of all saiyans.

 

“Oh?” Vegeta growled as he walked around the bed to Bulma’s side and lent down close to her, his voice a dangerous growl. “And how do you plan to hurt me? You can’t use sex to manipulate me anymore! In fact, now I think about it, it’s you who should be careful of me! I could kill you out here and space your body and nobody would ever know!”

 

“You wouldn’t!” Bulma breathed, her eyes widening as she realised that she’d lost what little leverage over Vegeta she’d had.

 

Vegeta brought his face down till it was about a centre metre from hers and laughed. “There are a lot of things I could do to you while we’re out here in space.” He traced a finger down her arm and lowered his dark head to kiss her again.

 

Bulma blushed and shoved Vegeta away; “You wouldn’t do anything to me, who’d fix the food machine when it gets broken?” Bulma was having a hard time keeping her eyes off Vegeta’s body as he stood directly in front of her again. Had he really tried to kiss her then or was she imagining things? Surely he wouldn’t force himself upon her?

 

Vegeta looked at Bulma a little longer before he leant closer to her again. “Normally I wouldn’t hurt you, no. But if you piss me off enough Woman, I might do something I’ll regret later in a fit of temper.” Vegeta moved in a lightning quick movement, pulling Bulma close to him and forcefully kissing her. He abruptly let her go and Bulma fell back to the bed, blushing furiously. “By the way, thanks for last night. You were fun.” Vegeta winked at her.

 

“Bastard! I liked you better when you were on heat.” Bulma stood up and slapped Vegeta, actually managing to leave a bright red hand mark on his face. “And if you ever, ever bring up last night again I swear I’ll find someway to kill you! Last night was the most degrading experience of my life and I’d rather forget about it!” Bulma almost spat at Vegeta she was in such a temper.

 

“Degrading?” Vegeta’s mouth fell open. “You slept with a Prince and it was degrading? At least I said you were fun!”

 

Bulma and Vegeta glared at each other angrily, then, against all laws of nature and common sense they moved closer and kissed passionately.

Bulma pulled away first. “That was wrong.”

 

“Very wrong.” Vegeta agreed. They stood looking at uneasily each other for a few moments until Vegeta suddenly stepped away. “I’m going to go have a shower.”

 

“Yeah, I’ll get breakfast.” Bulma and Vegeta hurried away in opposite directions, both of them blushing bright red as they wondered what was going on between them.

 

Bulma got to the doorway before she realised that she was naked and she turned and hurried back to the bedroom and salvaged what clothes she could from the wreckage of the bedroom. She hurriedly dressed, cursing Vegeta as she threw her ruined bra on the floor and tied her t-shirt around her chest, boob-tube style. Vegeta was going to pay for destroying her clothes! No matter what he did to her in return it would be a small price to pay!

 

She walked over to the bathroom door and pulled out the small electrical panel by the door and quickly ripped a small red wire out. Now he’d get no hot water – she’d show him who was fun! The bastard cool off with a cold shower for a while!

Vegeta started to wash himself, looking at the fingernail marks that were raked down his chest. He could still feel the woman under him…moaning his name…“No!” Vegeta forcefully shook his head as though shaking the images out. “Don’t think about it! It’s all over now!”

 

But I don’t want it to be over…I like her!

 

Vegeta ignored the voice in his head as it began to list off the top one hundred reasons why he should seduce Bulma again. He wasn’t going to seduce her - he didn’t even like her! She flirted too much, wore too little and couldn’t cook! Sure she could fix all his machines and sure she was good in bed and had been in his dreams for almost two months now…

 

No! I will not think about it!

 

Vegeta shook his head again, damn! He didn’t want to crave the woman like this! It was inconvenient and these sexual craving would get in the way of his training. The water of the shower suddenly turned icy and Vegeta heard a malicious laugh from outside the bathroom door…the woman!

 

He opened the shower door and leapt out the freezing cascade of water, he threw open the bathroom door and grabbed the woman before she could get more then two steps away. Vegeta pulled her around and was preparing to yell at her when he realised that her ‘shirt’ had fallen down again and her breasts were pressed against his chest.

 

Vegeta swallowed hard.

 

“Woman! You ruined my…breasts…NO! I mean you ruined my shower with all your breasts…NO! You ruined my shower by turning off the hot water and now you’re standing here naked and….” Vegeta caught sight of her amused face. “You don’t want to know what I was about to say woman.”

 

“I think I know what you were about to say.” She leant closer to him, her eyes sparkling with a knowing amusement that irked Vegeta. “You like me don’t you? It wasn’t just the heat…”

 

“Shut up!” Vegeta cringed under her gaze – he didn’t want to hear the truth!

 

“I bet you have some sort of perverted saiyan crush…” Bulma continued, her malicious smile widening as Vegeta blushed.

 

“Shut up!” The saiyan prince tried desperately to wriggle away, but it was hopeless; the woman had her pinned with her endless sky blue eyes.

 

“Do you looooove me? Do you wanna haaaaave me?” Bulma crooned, determined to embarrass the prudish prince as much as possible.

 

Vegeta turned red and managed to look away and swallow hard before answering. “Shut up woman!”

 

“Oh ho! So I was right! You do have some twisted thing for me, huh?”

 

“Okay, okay, I like you! Not a lot but you are attractive!” Vegeta pouted. “Just don’t go thinking that I actually love you! That’s a little too far fetched!”

 

“I wouldn’t dare think that Vegeta, don’t fret too much over it.” Bulma tilted her head to the side. “So you like me huh? Why?”

 

“What do you mean why?” Vegeta narrowed his eyes, she was trying to trick him somehow, she would get him to admit everything he could and then she’d pounce and would somehow make him seem foolish!

 

“Why do you like me? Yamcha always said I was ‘cute,’ what’s your excuse?”

 

“Excuse? I am Vegeta the prince of all saiyans! I do not make excuses! Besides, maybe I agree with your idiotic ex-boyfriend, you are very attractive.” Vegeta pushed the woman away suddenly. “I do not like being questioned like this! Just because I find you attractive physically doesn’t mean I actually like you in any way!”

 

“But you just said you liked me!” Bulma’s face fell, she was disappointed that Vegeta had given in to her so easily!

 

“Because you’re attractive, I don’t actually like you in any other sense.” Vegeta took a step away when suddenly the computers voice came over the COM line.

 

“Warning! Warning! The ship has entered the atmosphere of a planetary body!”

 

“What?!” Bulma shrieked, bolting out to the main room and looking at the COM screen. The computer had brought up a picture of a green planet; she began typing at the computer and brought up a new screen. “According to the computer the planet has a breathable atmosphere and a tolerable level of gravity…”

 

“Which planet is it?” Vegeta held onto the chair as their ship was now well and truly heading into the planets cloudy atmosphere and they were being buffeted by the speed of their re-entry.

 

“I don’t know…” Bulma clutched at the arms of the chair. “All I do know is that I have to somehow land this ship in one piece.”

 

“Without a navigation system?” Vegeta looked aghast. “Is that even possible?”

 

“Possible, but very unlikely.” Bulma strapped herself in. “I’m just going to have to fly manually.”

 

Vegeta stood next to her and when Bulma put her hands on the manual control joystick he put his hands over hers. “You won’t be strong enough by yourself, you’ll need my help.”

 

“Yeah, your right.” Bulma tried to calm herself as the pressed the manual control button. “Here we go…”

A/N – Oooooh…they’re going to try to land manually! And Vegeta is still naked! Will they land the ship and survive? Will Vegeta ever get dressed again? You’ll have to wait and see what happens in the next chapter!
