Bulma stared into Vegeta’s cobalt eyes and felt the sheer power and heat they contained draw her forward, powerless to resist Bulma moved into his embrace, “What are doing to me?” She whispered against his lips, yearning to kiss him again and yet frightened of what could happen if she did.

“I’m making you mine woman.” Vegeta bit her lip and Bulma gasped, her eyes widened with a mixture of pleasure and pain. Vegeta pulled his spell bound woman closer, but with a strength Bulma did didn’t know she had possessed she managed to pull away from him.

“I don’t even know you Vegeta, I shouldn’t be doing this…I wouldn’t usually be doing this, I…I…” Bulma trailed off and looked into his waiting eyes, “What have you done to me?” Bulma pulled further away fear darkening her eyes as she waited for his answer.

“You are one of my people, one of my subject Bulma.” Vegeta moved closer and placed a hand on her waist, “It is in your blood to serve me, to do my bidding.” He moved even closer when Bulma did not pull away and caught her eyes again, “You will do as I wish because I will it so, and my will is stronger then yours.”

“That isn’t fair my Prince, I’m not a toy, I’m not even a born vampire as you and Kakarot are, to treat me as your slave, as your pet is wrong.”

“A pet?” Vegeta smiled, “You will never be my pet or my slave woman, but what ever it is you feel for me, the lust, the passion…you feel it because it is what I feel for you and because you are joined to my spirit as one of my people you cannot block the sensation.”

Bulma nodded slowly, “Your saying that what I’m feeling is…is what your feeling?”

“Yes.” Vegeta nodded and kissed her on the neck, “I have never felt anything quite like what it is you make me feel…but since you shall be with me for all eternity I plan to act on it.”

Bulma closed her eyes and took a deep breath, “You do know we could all die Tomorrow don’t you? We are not truly immortal, that is why Kakarot and yourself are the only two born vampires left.”

“Precisely why we should seize the moment, explore these feelings we have for each other.” He pulled back and gazed at her face, reading her emotions, “And do not deny your feelings for me Bulma, I can feel your lust for me burning along my skin.” Vegeta lent in for another kiss but to his surprise Bulma stood up and moved away.

“I mean no disrespect Vegeta, but I cannot do this.” She stared sadly around the dungeon, “I cannot do this here or now and not with a man I barely know. You’re right, I am deeply attracted to you, but just because you excite me is not a good enough reason for me to sleep with you.”

“What would be enough reason? Would you rather we went back to my room?” Vegeta smirked and stood up, “Would you rather a penthouse in the city, a cottage in the country…tell me where you wish to go and I will take you.” Vegeta took two strides across the room and gathered Bulma into his arms, “To deny yourself the pleasure I could bring you is to deny who and what you are.” He kissed her sweet cheery red lips, his black eyes burning into hers, willing his new beauty to bend to his will.

Bulma relaxed in his arms and lent her head on his shoulder, “You make me feel like no man has before Vegeta, and mark my words we shall come together soon, but I need time to figure out the thoughts in my head.” Bulma nuzzled his neck, “I shall give myself to you my Prince and I shall be yours, but now is not the time or the place for such a passionate coupling.”

Kakarot brushed Chichi’s long black hair off her face and gazed down at her, his fingers tracing shapes on her milky pale skin. Soon he would have his own woman, a mate just like he had had before the great hunt when his old mate had been slaughtered. But this woman would be different to his old mate, for his prince had made her, and he was strongest of all vampires, this alone guaranteed her to be strong.

Kakarot lent down and inhaled her scent, closing his eyes at the sweetness of it. Under him the woman Chichi jerked and made a growling sound, startled Goku drew back and anxiously watched her face for any signs of waking.

Sure enough her eyelids fluttered as Chichi struggled to wake. Kakarot stared intently but the woman did not open her eyes. Relieved he sat up and reflected that it must be true that the vampire royals could call their children to life straight away, such was the power of their blood.

The woman stirred again and opened her mouth to expose fangs, Kakarot’s eyes widened as a though occurred to him; the woman had no food.

Kakarot closed his eyes and touched his mind against Vegeta’s as he communicated telepathically, letting a touch of anxiety creep into the tone of his message; ~ Vegeta the woman is waking and has no food! ~

There was a pause as Vegeta mulled over this, then his own message came back, annoyance at being interrupted sparking along the edges of it; ~ I will take Bulma hunting, we will return with food as quickly as we can ~

Kakarot felt Vegeta’s mind pull away as quickly as it had come and he breathed a sigh of relief then turned back to watching his chosen woman, praying she wouldn’t wake until food had been brought here.

Vegeta grasped Bulma’s arm and growled in his throat, “The woman Chichi is beginning to wake up, I must take you hunting so we can gather food for her.” Vegeta caught Bulma in his arms and levitated in the air, pulling Bulma up with him, “We must hurry for if she wakes before we bring back victims for her it is likely that she will attack Kakarot and a newborn vampire is often crazed with thirst and can be extremely dangerous.”

“But I thought it took a day for new vampires to wake?” Bulma let go of Vegeta’s arm and flew along herself, frowning with the effort of keeping herself suspended in the air and to keep herself moving as fast as Vegeta.

“If a royal vampire makes a child vampire then the child will awaken quicker, it will be pulled by out sheer blood power. The stronger the vampire who made the child vampire, the quicker they will wake.” Vegeta took Bulma’s hand and dropped quickly some houses. “Woman, you must find a victim for Chichi, they must be of a certain blood type though otherwise their blood will not quench her first thirst.” Vegeta’s voice trailed off as a man walking a dog came passed. Bulma watched Vegeta scent the air and copied him; the man smelt sickly sweet and Bulma frowned,

“What does is smell like?” She looked at the man, “What blood type is he?”

“He is blood type A, we don’t want blood type A, we want blood type O.” Vegeta frowned too, “It smells like…like…well not as sweet as A but not as bland as B…” He trailed off when he realised Bulma had no idea what he was talking about, “Stay close woman, I will find you a person with the right blood type, once you have smelt it once you will never forget it’s scent.”

Vegeta led her along the park path and halted suddenly, his nostrils flaring, “There! Do you smell that?”

Bulma scented the air and nodded, she could smell it…it smelled delicious, “That is blood type O Bulma. Follow the scent to the source and bring the human back to the castle. If it struggles then knock it out but don’t kill it. I’m going to go off and hunt by myself. I trust you not to screw up.” He started to walk away then paused again, “Chichi and Kakarot both depend on us bringing back fresh blood do not fail me.” Vegeta turned back and gripped Bulma’s shoulders, “Can you do this woman?”

“Can a bird fly?” Bulma gave him a small grin, “Of course I can.” She pulled away and jogged off in the direction of the blood.

I can’t believe I’m a vampire. I feel so alive! Bulma jogged faster until the scent grew strong and hung thick in the air. Down by the park river some drunken young men were laughing and hurling empty beer bottles into the water. Bulma scented the air and identified the brown haired boy on the left as the one she wanted.

“Hey boys? You wanna quit making all that noise?” Bulma sauntered down to them, swinging her hips seductively. The boys jumped but quickly relaxed when they saw a small, pretty woman.

“You gonna make us Girlie? Hey I got an idea. How ‘bout you being our entertainment.” The boy blew her a kiss and they all laughed as if he’d said and done something hilariously funny.

Bulma laughed, a low laugh and then flung herself at the boys, a ferocious scowl marring her pretty features. She grabbed one boy by the neck and tossed him into a tree trunk, his back snapping when he impacted. She grabbed the next boy and hurled him across the river where he hit the concrete and lay still, she grabbed the remaining boy with out the right blood type and threw him into the side of the bridge where he dropped into the swirling cold black water and sank.

The brown haired boy was left, he screamed in terror and tried to run but Bulma easily caught him, gripped his coat to prevent him from running any further. She smiled at him then slammed her first under his jaw laughing as the boy passed out, whimpering like the red head had when she had first awoken.

She hoisted the boy over one shoulder and launched herself into the air, heading back to the castle at full speed, laughing at how easy the human boy had been to catch.

Vegeta cracked his neck as he waited patiently for the man who was jogging to come around the corner, the mans blood sang as he ran and Vegeta let himself sink into the steady rhythm of the human heartbeat. Distantly he heard sounds of a fight and a laugh that could only be Bulma’s. Vegeta smiled despite himself, he had been right, the woman had great talent. The man jogged closer, humming a pop song under his breath, and Vegeta sprang out of his hiding place and body slammed the man into a wall. He made a wet gurgling sound as he slipped to the ground, his ribs smashed from the impact. Vegeta picked up his limp body; cursing as a police cruiser came by at that exact moment.

The police car screeched to a halt and a fat cop got out and pointed a gun at Vegeta, “Hey You! Put him down now and slowly put your hands on the ground.” Vegeta hissed, exposing his long and delicately pointed fangs,

The policeman swore and his partner jumped from the car, “Jesus! He’s a vamp! Kill him!” The police fired.

“Humans!” Vegeta said with contempt as their bullets hit him and did little damage, he hissed again and then sprung off into the night, his laugh echoing back to the cops who stood shaking with their guns still pointing at the space where Vegeta had been, his movements having been so fast they hadn’t seen him leave.

“I thought all the vamps were dead, Sergeant.”

“Apparently not, Hilbert. Apparently not.” They cops stared into the black night.

(A/N – I always crack up when I read that bit…^_^)

Under Kakarot Chichi’s eyes sprang open and stared wildly about, full of a hunger he had seen earlier in Bulma’s eyes, only all the more terrifying because he had no food for her. She hissed and he sprang odd, dropping into a defensive crouch as she dragged herself to the edge of the bed and stared at him hungrily, she coiled her limps under her and prepared to pounce, her tongue stealing out the lick her lower lip.

With relief Kakarot heard someone coming and Bulma came into the room dragging a young man, she saw Chichi and thrust the man in her direction, staying well back as Chichi sprang onto the man and tore his wind pipe out, hungrily burying her face into his neck and guzzling down the mans blood, small sounds of contentment came from her, sounding almost like purring.

“Looks like I got here in time.” Bulma stood near Kakarot and didn’t push his arm away when it circled around her, somehow having Kakarot close didn’t unnerve her as Vegeta did. Perhaps it was because he had been the one to change her and the first one she had seen when she had woke up for the first time as a vampire.

Kakarot was stroking Bulma hair and watching Chichi drink when Vegeta walked in and dumped an unconscious man on the floor, he looked at Bulma who was relaxing against Kakarot and began to growl but stopped when blood began to ooze faster out of the bullet holes which adorned Vegeta’s chest.

“Ran into some cops.” He explained as Bulma pulled away from Kakarot and moved closer, he pulled off his shirt and stuck a finger into one of the holes, pulling out the bullet with out wincing,

Bulma moved closer to Vegeta, eyeing the blood on his finger “Let me do it, I have smaller fingers, it’ll hurt less.” She pushed Vegeta onto the bed and crouched over him.

“What do you know? I ended up in a bed with you after all.” Vegeta gave a weak smile as Bulma pulled out another bullet.

“Doesn’t this hurt you at all?” Bulma pulled out the last of the bullets and watched as the holes healed themselves, the flesh closing before her very eyes.

“A little.” Vegeta stared up at Bulma, who in turn stared down at him before leaning in for a kiss, Vegeta’s arms snaked around her and pulled her onto him more firmly.

“Please don’t do that on my bed.” Kakarot glared at them both, his gaze lingering on Bulma before turning back to watch Chichi, who had finished with the first man and had moved onto the second.

“Wow, she’s really hungry.” Bulma sat up, allowing Vegeta to wrap his arms around her and nuzzle her neck as he pulled her small body back against his solid chest.

“Some vamps are really hungry when they wake and some aren’t.” Kakarot commented quietly as Chichi finished feeding and dropped the half-blooded man back to the floor.

“Do you mind if I finish him of Prince Vegeta?” Kakarot twisted back to look at them,

“Go ahead.” Vegeta gently bit Bulma’s neck, not seeming to really care what Kakarot did.

Kakarot dropped to the floor near Chichi and ripped the head off the first man to prevent him from rising before finishing feeding from the second.

Crouched on the floor Chichi was looking around wildly, her black eyes wide with terror. “Where am I?”
