Chapter 2: Settling In

*****************************************************

Bulma was lying on her bed, which was black with blood red streaks blended into the black. She sighed; her friend was determined to buy her everything she wanted, even if she didn't want it, well she did but she didn't want her friend to go poor cuz' of it!

Bulma knew Raven was trying her hardest to make her comfortable, but she hated the attention. In another minute Raven would be in there making sure everything was alright, even when she most likely knew it was.

"Any-" "No Rave, chill, I've been here for a week now, I need to get to school though, ya know? I don't need any kind of cop up my ass, especially for school." Bulma said, curious as to why she had yet to go to school. She had been there for a week, and she couldn't have the authorities on her ass unless she wanted Gabriel to find her.

"Yeah, we got you into my old high school, and your Bulma Ouji, you're our cousin from Virginia on our father's side that needs a place to stay since your parents died in a fire...You okay?" Raven asked worried as her friend's eyes showed an unbearable amount of pain and guilt, as Raven had said that Bulma's parents died in a fire.

"Yea, I...uh just have bad memories having to do with fires, since you know that's how my father died." Bulma swallowed to force away the thoughts of his death and everything else that came with it. Because it was HER fault he had died and she would give anything to change that, ANYTHING!

"Oh, I'm sorry B, I totally forgot, you want me to tell them something else?" Raven asked the concern in her voice was laden with guilt for forgetting about her friend's father's death. "No it's best that there's some truth in that statement." Bulma said, her voice void of emotions, as she lay down trying to relax on her bed again. "Kay."

Raven then left to call her secret boyfriend, she had her own phone line so no one would know unless, that person could hear through the wall like it wasn't even there, like Bulma could.

The reason he was her secret boyfriend was because, her brother, Vegeta had come home from the gym, and saw Rave and her Boyfriend, they were nearly having sex on the couch, if the guy didn't have his boxers on still, they would have.

Vegeta nearly killed the guy for touching his precious sister. Bulma had come down for water when she saw, Vegeta's face red from rage, and his sister's red from both anger and embarrassment.

The guy had a bloody nose and a welt forming on his face already. Bulma had just come into view on the stairs and had about six more to go, before she fell down from laughing so hard at what she saw. The boy had actually pissed himself, and Raven was starting to shake in anger and worry for the boy.

She quickly went to her friend's aide with Raven's clothes still laughing that the guy had run out from the house in his boxers with Vegeta chasing him, telling the man exactly what he was going to do to him once he caught up with him. Raven also laughed a bit, she was seeing a bit of the humor in it, but was scared for the man's life.

When Vegeta came back he gave a big ass lecture on what the rules for boys were for both of us, though Bulma quickly set it straight that she wouldn't be dating for a while so he didn't need to have to worry about her, yet. Since she needed a mate that would fight for the right to keep when Gabriel found, and would win, and he would find Bulma, of that she was sure.

To Bulma, it had looked like a TV drama, except for the fact that, if it were a TV drama, Vegeta would be the over-protective father. That got her laughing even harder, she had still been chuckling even when they both glared at her, falling from the stool she was perched on and rolling on the ground as her sides started aching from all of her laughter. It really was like a TV drama.

Though she didn't stopped as soon as Raven, who had immediately tried punching her then tried to tackle her, but Vegeta pulled her off before she created any damage to Bulma's body, Raven had pouted then. Bulma still smiled at the memory.

"Do you know whom the hell she's talking to?!" a gruff voice snapped at Bulma from the doorway, to her room.

"No, Vegeta, I don't, anything else?" Bulma asked, keeping her back to him; she was sitting at her desk now staring at the wood designs, she could smell his scent, muscular yet having a pleasant touch of spices to it, not to thick at all.

Though she could also smell his sweat rolling off him in waves of heat towards her, beckoning her to taste it, to quench her curiosity about what it would taste like, that's not what was the worst part about his scent.

The worst part was that she could also smell blood, his blood to be exact. She groaned in pain at not being able to taste it, she could feel the urge to taste it, drink it even. To sink her fangs into his flesh, tear into it even; just a little bit, to lap at the warm sticky blood as it gushed out of him.

He had just finished training or perhaps sparring with someone. She remembered the first time she saw him after he finished training, he was wearing only those tight small spandex shorts that left nothing to the imagination, and she could see the sweat glistening on him, but also blood that was from scrapes and cuts.

To say the least, she left faster then she probably should have, with Raven following her while laughing her ass off at her all the way to her room. Because Bulma had a crush on her brother, but the reason she left was so she that wouldn't have pounced on him to taste his blood, it always beckoned her to taste it.

"What's wrong, girl? Did someone hurt you?" Vegeta quickly asked in concern, he was immediately at her side studying her face and body. Her face was glowering in her rage at him treating her like a child but also that her hormones were acting up when they never had before and embarrassment that he had heard her groan.

Finding no injuries, he snapped at her for making him worry, "What the hell girl? Did you always do this shit like this at your old place, I thought someone took a knock at you. With the way you were groaning a minute ago!" She could smell his anger but she could also smell then worried that was laced with it.

"No I didn't do this shit because I'm not doing anything and no would hurt me without them hurting 3 times worse if not more, back at my old home, even here too, I think. Nothing's wrong, you can go away now." Bulma snapped back hopping he would go.

"You do realize that this place is full of Vampires and Werewolves don't you? This is not your average town, I need to protect you from them." Vegeta said, she could have smelt his concern for her a mile away from him.

He didn't leave of coarse; he loved to make her suffer in his intoxicating presence. She looked at him, ready to give him another lecture, but stopped, gazing, entranced with the blood that had dripped from the gash on his chest, the blood was still slowly oozing out of it, in a hypnotizing pace for her to watch. Her thoughts had stopped, her instinct telling her to taste it, bite into his flesh once again.

She licked her lips slightly, in an unconscious way of stating she was the predator and he was the prey. Vegeta raised an eyebrow at her expression but then followed her gaze down to the gash on his chest and back it her face. He then raised an eyebrow in confusion as to why she was looking at him like that.

She was watching his blood, as if she was not a human but a vampire but that was impossible, her scent didn't have that scent that all vampires had at all. Unless...no that wasn't possible at all, she was a `human' but she was watching his blood in something like awe or was that hunger, he couldn't really tell. His sister stepped in besides him having just gotten off the phone.

"Hey B, stop looking at my bro in awe, like he's a God, okay? I thought you said you didn't have the hots for him, or were you just lying, hmm?" Raven asked as she raised an eyebrow at her friend. "Huh? Oh, uh heh heh, yeah sure whatever..." Bulma stuttered as she was broken out of the trance she was in, a blush just barely tinting her face, as she looked to Raven

*Damn it, now he's so going to know that I'm not a fucking human! Damn it! Just because I haven't really hunted since my father's death doesn't mean I can try and drink his blood to quench my thirst for fresh blood, damn, now they know and that jackass will find me, and I haven't found a mate yet! I hate my hormones; they can all go to Hell for all I care, and come back when they calm down. Damn it, I used to have so much more control than this, fuck I need to hunt and SOON! * Bulma thought to herself, catching herself before she started to growl at her stupidity.

"What's wrong, Veggie pants?" Raven asked in a baby voice, seeing her brother's face that showed a deep concern. "We need to talk, pronto!" Vegeta growled as he stalked from the room and into the basement.

Raven watched as her friend's face was lit with what she thought looked like panic but it disappeared before she could comment or really be sure that it was panic. Bulma also walked past but walked out the front door and into the darkening sky outside.

-------------------

Bulma sighed as she walked into the local bar. All the scents in the bar attacked her nose in one big whoosh. She scrunched up her faced and decided to ignore all the scents.

She looked around and saw the girl that had been semi-nice to her when they had been introduced, so she decided she could ask her some questions about this town and the people in it.

"Hey Angie, mind if I sit with you and talk?" Bulma asked casually, as she waited for the reply, her hand resting on the chair she was planning to sit on. "Nah, sit, sit down, got any problems?" Angie asked, her gaze was a little glazed but Bulma didn't mind.

"Uh, not problems per say, but yeah I do have some questions to ask you, if that's cool with you?" Bulma answered, as she pulled out the seat that was facing the whole bar, since they were in the back corner. "Shoot," Angie said as she took a sip of her drink.

"Angie, is Raven's brother always so...how do I put this, an asshole that has gotten to really cocky about his looks?" Bulma asked, her eyebrows scrunched up as if in thought.

"Have you seen his body? You must be blind if you haven't also see how girls and women alike throw themselves at him? Though I have noticed you haven't even given him a look that said you wanted him. Great control by the way if that's what your using but if you just don't swing that way, whatever. Well that's why, he is so cocky, cuz' of the hoards of women throw themselves his way, and them trying to get down his pants, plus them fawning over didn't help much, his ego is about 10 times bigger than him." Angie said, her eyes glazed over as if remembering something from the past.

"Oh, gottcha, well I guess I should have figured that out, with all the chicks coming and going to and from his room." Bulma said with a light laugh at her ignorance. "So then why doesn't he allow Rave to date or have sex with anyone?" Bulma asked her confusion frankly obvious.

"Oh well I'm confused on that myself, I mean she can't have sex until she's married to the damn guy or else she has to sneak it. But Vegeta can have all the sex he wants with as many partners as he wants. I don't understand that at all. Do you?" Angie asked, her face scrunched up in confusion.

"Oh-Okay, confused much? Anyways I have another question what kind of town is this one? I mean is it the kind of town where everyone knows everyone's business? Or just a small quit town where no one really knows much about anyone." Bulma asked, curious as to which one it was.

She was trying to see if her secret would be safe to tell her friend or if she would have to leave and fast if it were to be found out. "Eh, kinda both cuz' some know everything about everyone while others don't, the ones that do know all are usually the grandmas' of everyone cuz' they don't keep nothin' a secret. But also Vegeta he's like the leader here, ya' know how that is? Most keep to themselves though. Do you understand that?" Angie said while nodding towards a man near the bar with drinks.

"Yep, my old town was like that a lot, really. "Bulma said casually. "Oh, where did you live again?" Angie asked now looking at her again. "I lived in a small town of Virginia." Bulma stated. "So this is the same then? Right?" Angie asked as she got herself a drink from the bus boy or waiter.

"Yeah basically, though we didn't have any vamps there. We did have werewolves though, but they mostly tried to hide themselves from the Humans there."

Bulma said as she looked to the door as it opened, she lifted her eyebrow to the man that had just walked in, when he had spotted her, he gave her a wolfish grin as he walked towards a table of men.

"Well, as much as I'd love to stay, I gotta jet, see ya around hopefully." Bulma said as she stood up. "Yeah okay, I'll be seeing you around then, bye." Angie said as she took another sip. Bulma smiled at her as she left.

Bulma had walked around the town and the ones close by to map them out in her head if she ever was alone and got lost she would know where to go. The fresh air felt good to her, relaxing her but she was still alert. That was how she was taught to always be alert but make others think you weren't at the same time, it was easier to catch her prey or pack brothers that way.

------------

She stepped through the door, but before she could even closed it, she heard a harsh voice snap at her. "Where the hell have you been? Do you even know what the fucking time is?!?" Vegeta growled at her from his chair in the corner that was facing the door.

"Um... well the time is near three o'clock from judging where the moon is," Bulma said smartly as she stepped back in side from stepping out to see the moon. "Also I was around the town."

"We have a curfew here, and it's 1 A.M., be here or inform me of your plans, I would like to know what they are also, towards staying out later than 1, got it?" Vegeta snarled at her, Bulma could nearly taste his anger but she could also smell the concern that came with it.

A muscle under his eye twitched. "Yeah sure, you're the boss, night." Bulma said, just a little worried about that twitch. He snarled again as he stormed up the stairs, slamming the door, Bulma swore she heard it crack. But she didn't dare check even if it was near her room.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^

"Bulma... Bulma...sweetie, it is time for school." Raven saidas she nudged her but Bulma didn't budge. Raven then tried to rip the covers off of her friend but she couldn't, she nearly ripped them in half trying.

"Damn it Bulma, get the FUCK UP NOW!!" Raven screamed, frustrated that her `human' friend was stronger than she was. A Vampire! That was so not fair.

She then watched as her friend shot out of the bed and into the bathroom to wash up as if the hounds of Hell were going to come and bite her in the ass.

"Well that was fast." Raven mumbled to herself as she left the room, and went downstairs for breakfast.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

"How was school here, for the first day?" Raven asked as she moved towards the door to leave for work. "Same old same old." Bulma said as her friend left.

"Meet anyone interesting? Or did anyone bother you?" A voice from the door asked in a plain tone but she could hear the protective ring to it. "Nope not yet." She answered as she left to go to her room to do her homework, ignoring his questioning look at her indifference.

Vegeta followed her up the stairs and stood in her doorway, leaning arms crossed against the door jam. "No one?" "No one, I'm not one to make friends in school, people usually hate me once they see how `weird' I can be as one person said, from my old school." She answered so he wouldn't go beating people up, as it seemed he wanted too. But why would he? It was just her, surely he wasn't that protective of her!
