Pairing: Buruma/Vejiita, some Goku/Chichi

 

AN: By the way, if you didn't get it, this is AU as of now.

"Kakarotto! Stop running, you coward!" a voice roared angrily. "I am not whipped!!"

 

Buruma blinked away her sleep. Was that... Vejiita?

 

An amused laugh sounded. "Yes, you are! Vejiita, the Saiyajin no Ouji, is completely whipped, and by a human woman no less!"

 

Buruma's eyes widened before she rushed out of bed, grabbed a robe, and ran out onto the balcony. She glanced around wildly for the two Saiyajin.

 

"Kakarotto, fight me like a Saiyajin! Stop fucking running, coward!"

 

Her head snapped up and she gaped at what she saw. Goku had gone Super Saiyajin and was taunting Vejiita. She blinked in complete shock, and suddenly, she felt very, very worried. Even he wasn't that stupid... was he?

 

"Poor Saiyajin no Ouji, the most powerful being in the universe," Goku taunted mercilessly. "Can't even become a Super Saiyajin to defeat a third-class moron."

 

Buruma gasped. What the hell was he doing? "Son-kun!!" she screamed. "Knock it off!"

 

"Buruma, go back inside!" he hollered back.

 

She blinked. "Son Goku, you listen to me! Stop taunting him!"

 

"Onna, shut up and stay out of this!" Vejiita snapped angrily. "Get your fat ass back inside!!"

 

She flinched. That stung. She didn't know why, he had insulted her worse before... but it was like he meant it now. Maybe because he was so angry.

 

To her surprise, Goku just laughed mockingly at Vejiita. "Now you're picking on your poor, defenseless mate because you don't have what it takes to defeat me. If you can't defeat me, how the hell do you expect to protect her? She'll die! She'll die against Galan's boss because you cannot protect her. Because you are weak," Goku practically spat.

 

Buruma's mouth dropped. What is wrong with Son-kun? She glanced worriedly at Vejiita and gasped. He was glowing and he was mad. He was angrier than she had ever seen him. Angry and hurt. She could feel that from him. His eyes were narrowed and fixed on the floating Super Saiyajin in front of him.

 

"Kakarotto, do not push me," he breathed threateningly.

 

Again, her best friend shocked her by laughing at him. Laughing cruelly at him! "Vejiita, you cannot defeat me. Not in a million years. You failed to avenge your planet; I had to do that for you. You failed to even stay alive! You failed in defeating me. A third-class idiot raised on this mud ball defeated you and will continue to defeat you because you cannot become a Super Saiyajin. You haven't got the power."

 

Vejiita was starting to glow brighter. Too bright. Buruma had to squint to look at him now. She was suddenly afraid. She was afraid of Vejiita for the first time since Namek. Afraid he'd lose it completely and destroy the planet to kill her best friend. Destroy everything, including her.

 

"You will die against the cyborgs, Vejiita. That boy said so. You will never achieve Super Saiyajin and you'll die! Leaving Buruma to face everything alone! Leaving her defenseless and at the mercy of those machines. Because you are too weak to protect her. Too weak to fight to save her. She'll die alone and by their hands because you cannot win!" Goku exclaimed, an evil smirk on his face. "Hell, Vejiita, I doubt you could save her now." He smirked again and powered up a ki ball in his hand, aiming it towards her. "Well, Vejiita? Do you trust your strength enough to save her from one of my blasts? A Super Saiyajin's blast? Can you be fast enough? Strong enough? Or will she die?"

 

Goku chuckled and to Buruma's absolute shock, he threw it at her.

 

Vejiita screamed out angrily and Buruma had to cover her face from the bright flash of light. She whimpered slightly, her eyes clenched shut as she waited for the blast to hit her.

 

After a few moments passed and she wasn't hit by her friend's ki ball, she warily opened her eyes and blinked back the afterimages. She quickly scanned for Vejiita and her friend. The friend who fired on her.

 

She snapped her head up and gaped in shock. They stood as before, Goku smirking at Vejiita. A very different Vejiita. A golden Vejiita.

 

Then suddenly, Goku powered down to normal, his hair relaxed and returned to black. He smiled apologetically at Buruma and looked at Vejiita, grinning sheepishly. "Sorry, Vejiita... I knew you could do it."

 

Vejiita was staring at his hands, his eyes wide.

 

Goku smiled happily and landed beside Buruma, who was beginning to feel a bit weak in the knees. "Vejiita, you are a Super Saiyajin. Just as you wanted. Just as I knew you could do." He turned to Buruma. "Breakfast?"

 

She snapped her head to him and glared angrily. She then pulled back her fist and punched him.

 

Hard.

 

Of course, she doubted it hurt him. But she knew he felt it at least. She knew she did. That fucking hurt!

 

"Son Goku, what the hell is wrong with you?!" she hissed. "Scaring me to death like that!!"

 

He smiled sadly. "Sorry, Buruma. I did it for him."

 

"I don't fucking care! That was cruel! To me and to him!"

 

"Buruma, he-"

 

"I don't fucking care! You fucking warriors need to have your heads examined! Just because he's now a Super Saiyajin makes it all right to scare me into a heart attack? Makes it okay that I was scared to death he'd blow up and destroy everything in a fit of rage, including us! For the first time in months, I was scared of him! And I was scared of you! Fuck you and fuck your Super Saiyajin power!"

 

She stomped back into the house, horrified that she was still shaking. She went into her bathroom and collapsed in solitude. She then allowed herself to cry.

Vejiita blinked in awe. He had finally achieved what was rightfully his. His goddamn accursed destiny finally stopped eluding him. He had it. He was a Super Saiyajin. He was the Saiyajin no Ouji once more. He turned his head to glare at his rival who stood, silent and confused, on his mate's balcony.

 

He blinked. His mate! She had been here. She watched as that moron insulted him, pelted him with insults, and called him weak. She had been here and Kakarotto fired at her. All the insults and his threats, and the words he spoke of her death, then to make it all worse, he had fired on her. That was what triggered his transformation. He was so angry with Kakarotto for insulting him, angry with himself for letting it be true, angry at everything, and he was hurt and scared that his rival had been right. That she would die because he was too weak to save her.

 

He growled and landed in front of his rival, giving him a withering glare. He powered down, a tad regretfully, but he'd have time to explore the new found power later. "Kakarotto," he growled out.

 

To Vejiita's shock, he glanced over to him, his eyes serious and sad. "Vejiita, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. Not even to make you turn Super Saiyajin. Buruma is right."

 

He blinked. "What about the Onna?" he hissed. He felt an irrational need to hold his mate just then. To make sure she was real, and alive. He had really thought - despite the fact he knew his rival wouldn't hurt her - he had lost her. He had been frightened for the first time in his life for someone else's life. "What about her!?" he demanded when the Saiyajin didn't answer him.

 

Goku looked down. "She told me off. I deserved it. She said that it didn't make it right. That for the first time she was scared. Of you. And of me," he whispered.

 

Vejiita snorted, if a bit weakly. "She knows better. I would not hurt her."

 

Goku shook his head. "Yet you believed I would and did. Despite knowing how soft I am and how much I care for her. She had been scared you'd get so mad you'd destroy everything. Including her. And I had scared her too."

 

Vejiita felt a sharp pang in his heart and his gut. He didn't want her afraid of him. Damn Kakarotto! He could care less who feared him. But his mate should never fear him. Sure, he was so mad he couldn't even see past his rage. But he had known she was there. He had been worried for her safety even while spitting angry.

 

"I'm sorry, Vejiita. I had no right. Nothing of what I said was true. I apologize for forcing your transformation like that."

 

Vejiita blinked and gave an arrogant smirk. "I would have done it anyway, soon. But it is not me who you should apologize to. I do not care. You will apologize to my mate. She is hurt because of this and that I am angry about."

 

He nodded sadly. "I know. I will, but I think it would be best if you went to her now. She needs reminding that she won't be hurt because of our power. Especially yours."

 

Vejiita grunted. "Fine. Spar with me later." He smirked. "I am looking foreword to a match now, Kakarotto." He paused. "I owe you, idiot. For bringing her into that," he hissed.

 

Goku nodded. "Later," he said, and he disappeared the next second, two fingers pressed against his forehead.

 

Vejiita grunted and frowned worriedly as he searched for his mate's ki, finding it in her bathroom. He padded softly over to the door and opened it silently. He flinched when he saw her on the tile floor, with her legs curled against her chest tightly, and sobbing hard enough that she was shaking violently. She wept brokenly into her knees in between her painful gasps of air. It tore at him.

 

He walked softly into her bathroom, and knelt beside her. "Onna?"

 

"Go away, Vejiita," she whispered, not looking up, but even he could see her effort to control her sobs.

 

"No." He paused and placed a hand on her side gently, his heart twisting as she flinched slightly under his fingers. "Onna, you know I would never hurt you."

 

"Just go away," she pleaded.

 

"Listen to me, Onna. I would never hurt you. No matter how angry I was. And I was very angry. But I would not destroy everything, not with you there." He paused. "Onna, you are my mate and I have bonded with you. To have killed you would have destroyed me as well."

 

She didn't answer, nor did her sobbing lessen. He sighed. "Onna. Do not fear me. Do not fear my power. Do not fear my temper. I will not hurt you."

 

He scooped her up into his arms gently and carried her into the bedroom, setting her gently on the bed. He lay beside her, spooning up behind her, and wrapped his arms securely around her shaking body. He buried his face into her hair, breathing deeply.

 

"Onna, Kakarotto did... what he had to do. What he thought was... right. I am going to beat him senseless for firing on you like that, but what he did, he felt the need for." Vejiita started to purr softly, attempting to soothe her. "Onna, do you truly fear me?"

 

She didn't answer him right away, when she did, he had wished she hadn't. "I… didn't used to. I feared you on Namek, for a bit, but not too much. After you appeared here after the Namek thing I got over it, quickly. I've never seen you so angry, Vejiita..."

 

He winced. "Onna... to trigger the transformation, I must be angry, among other things. That is what Kakarotto tried to do." He sighed and nuzzled her gently. "Buruma, I will not hurt you. Ever. Even angry. I swear."

 

She nodded slightly, and her crying did slow, but he knew that this was far from over. She was now scared of the power that he and his rival possessed. And was scared of the Saiyajin behind it. All because of Kakarotto had to use her to make him angry. He would have been even more furious at the third-class Saiyajin, but knew little else would have gotten him. Hell, he knew nothing else would have given him the added anger and loss to achieve what the fool was trying to push him into achieving.

 

He purred softly against her, satisfied when she began to doze off in his arms. He'd have to beat the hell out of the fool, he decided. His mate was scared of him and it was that fool's fault. He was torn between the elation at his accomplishment and despair that his mate now feared the power within him. And feared his temper. She was forced into remembering the power behind the warrior, the power that had never been turned against her. Damn Kakarotto.

Goku walked sedately into his home, tiptoeing passed his son who was engrossed in his homework at the table and up the stairs. He peaked into his bedroom, and found his wife folding laundry.

 

"Chi?"

 

She blinked and looked towards him curiously. "What's wrong, Goku-sa?"

 

He looked down sadly. "I did a very bad thing," he said suddenly.

 

Chichi frowned gently and walked over to her husband, wrapping her arms around his waist. "What did you do, Goku-sa?"

 

"Well, I made Vejiita really mad. I mean really mad, Chichi. I thought I could get him angry and hurting enough to change into a Super Saiyajin."

 

"Did it work?"

 

Goku nodded sadly. "Yeah, it did."

 

"Then what's the problem?"

 

He sighed and wrapped his arms around her tightly, resting his chin on the top of her head. "Buruma woke up to see us and I used her against him. Telling him that he was too weak to protect her and things like that. Then, he still wasn't there yet so I fired a blast at her."

 

Chichi gasped and pulled away to look up at her husband. "Goku-sa, is she-"

 

"Of course it didn't hit her, Chi. See, it caused him to transform all right. But it scared her. Badly."

 

"Oh, Goku-sa..."

 

"She was afraid that Vejiita would blow up and destroy us all. And she was afraid… she was going to die when I fired. Now, she's afraid of us. Afraid of Vejiita, his power and his temper. She's afraid of me, too. I think she's always known we were so strong, very strong, but she hadn't quite had it shoved in her face like that. Not with her in danger from us. She wasn't, I knew she wasn't, but she didn't know. I didn't think, Chi."

 

She sighed and returned to his embrace. "Let me call her, okay?"

 

He nodded.

 

"Goku-sa, don't worry about it too much, okay? What's done is done and it worked, didn't it? Let me try to talk to her. Maybe she'll get over it soon."

 

His grip tightened on her slightly. "You didn't see Vejiita's face," he whispered. "When he realized that she had been frightened of him. He loves the fear he gets, like it's… addicting, but when it was her... He was devastated."

 

She blinked, but couldn't imagine a devastated Vejiita. She shrugged. "I'll call her now."

Vejiita scowled angrily at the offending piece of technology the Earthlings called a telephone. It had to ring now? He felt his blue-haired mate stir within his arms and quickly reached out to grab the irritating machine. "What?" he snarled into it.

 

"Um... Vejiita?"

 

"Who the hell else would be here, idiot?" he demanded angrily.

 

"Vejiita?" Buruma murmured sleepily. "Who is it?"

 

"I do not fucking know," he growled. "What do you want?"

 

"Um, Vejiita, it's Chichi... I'd like to talk with Buruma," the hesitant voice said.

 

He growled. "She is sleeping!" he snapped.

 

"Vejiita, I'm awake," Buruma said slowly, grabbing the phone from the irate Saiyajin no Ouji. "Yes?"

 

"Hey, Buruma... He knows how to answer a telephone? Not that he was polite mind you, but... that he answered it was a freaking miracle."

 

Buruma giggled sedately. "Well, I'm amazed myself. Vejiita and telephones just don't get along."

 

He snorted and tightened his arm around her waist, forcing her back into his chest as he lay back down. She was forced to do the same as she was pulled to him.

 

"Well, the reason I'm calling is because Goku came home very upset with himself just a little while ago. I heard you were scared quite badly."

 

"Yeah," Buruma whispered. "I was."

 

"Onna," Vejiita growled. "I told you, you were never in danger. Especially not from me."

 

She glared at him. "Do you mind? Take your Saiyajin hearing elsewhere if you're going to eavesdrop."

 

He snorted. "I'm fine where I'm at. It's not my fault I can hear what that woman is saying."

 

She rolled her eyes. "Sorry, Chi."

 

"No problem. Goku does the same thing when he's around. Anyway, I wanted to see how you were. You are okay, right?"

 

"I'm fine, Chichi."

 

"You don't sound too convincing, Buruma. I'm serious. Were you just a bit freaked or really, truly scared that one of those idiots were going to end up hurting you?"

 

Buruma sighed. "Can we talk about this later?"

 

"It really scared you that bad? Kami, Buruma, you should have a bit more faith in Goku than that! You'd know he wouldn't have let anything happen to you. He would have protected you."

 

"Yeah, well, he didn't fire at you!"

 

"And I would have let something happen?" Vejiita growled from above her head.

 

She shook her head suddenly. "Chichi, I don't feel like talking about it now, okay? It's still a little too fresh in my mind. I'll be fine, I'm sure. Just still a little shook up. That's all."

 

"You sure?" Chichi asked, not believing her for a moment.

 

"Yeah."

 

"Okay. Goku said that he's coming over later to fight with Vejiita. He's not really feeling like it, but he says that he owes Vejiita."

 

"He does," the Saiyajin no Ouji growled.

 

"Okay, Chi."

 

"I'll call you tomorrow, okay?"

 

"Sure. Bye."

 

"Bye."

 

Buruma hung up the phone and glared at her mate. "Do you mind? I'd like to have a private conversation sometime, you know."

 

He snorted and tightened his arms around her, setting his chin on her head. "I did not want to leave."

 

"Why not?"

 

"I like it here."

 

She blinked. "Oh, really?"

 

He snorted softly and they both fell silent. "Onna?"

 

"Yes?"

 

"Did you truly think I would hurt you?"

 

She sighed. "Can't we just drop it?"

 

"No."

 

"I wasn't worried you'd do it on purpose. I was worried you would get so angry that you'd blow up everything. When you're fighting nothing else matters but the battle. I was worried you would destroy everything. And that included me." She giggled weakly. "I think I'm a bit jealous. Battles will always be first to you..."

 

He growled softly, before shocking her with a kiss on her head. "Stupid Onna, even in battle I know exactly where you are. Even angry, I would protect you."

 

"So angry you can't even see past destroying that which made you angry?"

 

He snorted. "Of course. Do not fear me, Onna. Do not fear my temper or my power. Neither is cause for you to fear."

 

"Promise?" she whispered.

 

"I swear it, Onna. Even if I get angry enough to destroy the damn planet, I will take you with me. I swear. You were not in any danger from me. I knew you were there. That is why I did not attack Kakarotto earlier."

 

"Really?"

 

"I have never lied to you, idiot. I am not about to start now."

 

"Thank you," she whispered snuggling into his strong chest.

 

He grunted. "Do not fear me."

 

She grinned impishly. "Okay."

 

He blinked. "Onna?"

 

"I said okay."

 

"You have some wild mood swings."

 

"Yep."

 

He rolled his eyes. "Stupid human females. I had to go mate one. What the fuck was I thinking?"

 

She smirked. "No, you had to go bond with one. You're the idiot!"

 

He growled. "Hardly."

 

"Vejiita?"

 

"Hn?"

 

"I think this is the longest we've been in a room and touching without you putting the moves on me."

 

He smirked. "Oh, I can change that..." And he did just that.

AN: This is very unusual... even for me! I thought I'd start out humorous. Buruma waking up to hear Goku calling Vejiita whipped. Well, then I went to well, Vejiita is going to be pissed... What if Goku was doing that on purpose? (Sigh) Then it went all serious and stuff! O.o This chapter was a complete accident and changes a LOT of the story I had planned. (Grins) Isn't that just strange?

 

And it sure beats the usual "Buruma's killed and Vejiita changes" or other such things. This time Goku did it.

 

Lovies!
