Bulma instinctively clung to Vegeta's neck, startled at the way he had just scooped her up and flown off. She looked at the closed expression on his face, wondering what he was thinking. She couldn't help regretting her earlier words to him. She sensed she had hurt him, and that's why he had lashed back that way. What should she say to him? How could she tell him she was sorry? She knew she was, but didn't know how to say it. Her pride kept getting in her way. Maybe later....

 

She snuggled more tightly against him, uncertain what to do.

 

Gohan followed behind the small Saiyan warrior, wondering why Vegeta hadn't argued about him coming with them. He was grateful to Bulma for giving him permission to stay, but he also wanted to know what was happening at home. He wished he didn't make his mother unhappy. He still felt that her unhappiness was all his fault, that he wasn't a good enough son for her. He sighed, and continued to follow the other two as they returned to the Capsule Corp.

 

Vegeta wanted to apologize to Bulma for his earlier comments but his pride kept getting in the way. Instead, the warrior distracted himself by wondering why Kakarotto had married a woman who couldn't accept what he was. It struck him as a rather stupid thing to do, but then everything the other man did seemed pretty idiotic to him. He was vaguely aware of Gohan flying behind him, unusually quiet. Apparently his parents' arguing bothered the little warrior and he needed something to take his mind off of it.

 

Vegeta landed, put Bulma on her feet, and glanced toward the house, thinking about getting something to eat. "Come here, brat," he commanded, as he stood with his hands on his hips. An idea was coming to mind as he watched Gohan look up at Bulma. "What are you waiting for, kid? Come here!"

 

Gohan blinked, wondering what was on Vegeta's mind. There was no question Vegeta was talking to him, so the little boy walked over to the older Saiyan and looked up at him curiously.

 

"Is there something you want, Vegeta-san?" He wasn't afraid of the Saiyan prince any longer. He had grown used to him in the last year, and knew that if Vegeta had wanted to kill him, he would have tried to do it a long time ago.

 

"So, brat, since you are here," Vegeta smirked down at him, "I might as well spar with you." He smirked as he watched Bulma's jaw drop from the corner of his eye. "After all, I can't spar with your father since he seems to be....." He trailed off searching for the word. "Occupied."

 

Gohan blinked, and then nodded once. "All right," he agreed. "Will you teach me some of your techniques?" he asked curiously.

 

Bulma stared at the two of them. They had gone mad, both of them. Vegeta couldn't possibly be thinking of training with Gohan, and Gohan couldn't possibly be agreeing to this.

 

"Gohan, are you sure about this?" she asked the little boy sharply. "Don't feel that you have to, just because you're staying here. He's a guest, same as you. He has no more hold over you than anyone else."

 

Gohan smiled at her simply. "Vegeta can teach me his techniques, Bulma-san. He knows how to fight like a Saiyan. I want to learn how to fight like a Saiyan!"

 

"See, woman." He grinned at her like a Cheshire cat. "The kid knows who is right." Vegeta couldn't explain the sudden desire to teach his adversary's son. He only knew that he wanted to do it. "I suppose I can teach you a few of my techniques… if you can handle it."

 

Gohan looked at him curiously. "Didn't you tell Frieza that I had more power than even I knew? I can learn, if you want to teach me!" He looked suddenly excited at the chance to fight again after a year of holding back. "Will you teach me now?" he asked eagerly.

 

Bulma suddenly felt that she understood what Chi-Chi was going through. But why would she feel that way? she wondered. It's not like she meant anything to him, like he meant anything to her. They were not married or anything. So why did she feel abandoned? She shook her head at her own foolishness, and tried to smile at the two. Her smile felt false, even to herself.

 

"Well, I hope you two have fun," she said, as she turned to go to her workshed. She might as well get some work in today, at least.

 

"Oh, don't worry about us," Vegeta said to her retreating back. "We'll be fine. Won't we, brat? Let's find a place and begin before it gets too dark," Vegeta said turning his attention to Gohan. "We don't have much light left as it is."

 

Gohan blinked, and then smiled a wide, eager smile. "I know where we can go!" he said enthusiastically, and took off before Vegeta could reply.

 

Gohan headed for an area where he knew his father had sometimes trained; he had felt traces of his father's ki there, this past year, so he had come to visit there occasionally, even though there was nothing else there. His dragon sometimes came with him, to keep him company, but he didn't even mind being alone there. And it had given him the chance to sometimes practice a few ki techniques, even though he knew his mother didn't want him to.

 

~~*~~

 

Bulma went into her shed and tried to work on some of her new inventions, but her mind kept going back to the events of that morning. Every time she remembered his hands on her, his lips and mouth on her as he gave her such intense pleasure, it made her almost pass out again with desire. She wondered if he would want to sleep with her again tonight, and she couldn't help flushing with anticipation. Why was she doing this? she wondered, and wanted to smash something.

 

Bulma had difficulty concentrating on her work the rest of the afternoon. She couldn't get away from the memories of Vegeta touching and kissing her, and doing... other things. She found herself alternatively shivering and flushed with warmth, and she felt a tingling down below, in her center, where he had touched her most intimately. She wanted him to touch her there again, to do those same wonderful things to her that he had done to her that morning. But what if he didn't want to? she wondered uncertainly. Maybe that was just a one-time thing. Maybe it wasn't the fact that it was her, but just the fact that she was there, and was available.

 

She blushed, realizing that she had been available for him. She certainly hadn't fought him in any manner, she hadn't blocked him or told him not to. She had let him do what he had wanted; she had even encouraged him. He had pointed out that both of them had enjoyed it - and she most certainly had! - but wasn't there supposed to be more to it than that? She thought, suddenly depressed, that just because he had enjoyed it didn't mean that he would want to do it again in the immediate future. Maybe he had only had a strong enough urge, and would only seek her out again if the urge got that strong again. And she had no idea how often that might be. In a day? A week? A month? ...a year?

 

She clenched a fist, unconsciously crumpling some paper in her grasp, as she realized that she didn't want to wait that long. She wanted him now, but she didn't know if he felt the same way. And she had no idea why she wanted him. She had always thought she hated him, but what she felt now was so far from hate that she couldn't even imagine it. All she had to do was think about him, and then she would think about his hands on her, and she immediately felt liquidy, warm, and like she was going to melt.

 

The odd thing was that she was feeling this way for Vegeta. She had never felt this way for Yamcha, the man she always thought she loved. She barely tolerated Vegeta, she certainly didn't like him - let alone love him! - so why should she feel such incredible desire for him? What had he done to her?

 

She put her head on her arms and thought about it for a while. Eventually she managed to get some work done on her computer, going over accounts and decisions for the company, but didn't manage to get any research done that day.
