Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Blood of life ❯ death ( Chapter 5 )

Alright everyone, another new chapter at last. Sorry it has taken so long, but school has been keeping me really busy most of all Latin, great language but bloody hard. Then there is working 20 hours a week, don't get me wrong I have a great job, but work still takes way to much time.

Anyway on with the story and having had so much time to think about it I know just where I'm heading.

"Bulma I found him! He is here!" exclaimed Chi-Chi.

"Who is here, what are you talking about?" questioned Bulma, looking up at her friend as she brought food to the breakfast table.

"Goku, he is that guard who walked you to the door," Chi-Chi said with a blush before turning around.

"You mean Kakarott," Bulma gapped.

Chi-Chi nodded her head.

"Well, are you going to talk to him, you have to talk to him. Does he know you are here?"

"No, he did not see me when you came back. But, I just can't go and talk to him, I am a slave, besides, what would I say? Hi Goku, which I know, by the way is not your real name, we have a son."

Bulma looked at her friend for a bit, "Well, you have to talk to him sometime. Maybe I can bring him by sometime, him and Brolli seem to get along very well."

"Um, I guess."

"Alright, then it is settled. I will bring him by tomorrow and you two can talk." Bulma said with a smile before returning to her food.

Just as Bulma and Chi-Chi finished their meal there was a knock at the door. Gohan, who was already playing in the living room, went to get it.

"Hello, how may I help you?" Gohan said as he opened to door and looked at the tall man whose hair was going in every direction.

Kakarott was so stunned by the boy's appearance it took him a moment to speak, he just looked so familiar. "Um, yes, is Bulma here?"

Gohan smiled up at the man and showed him in, "Yep, she and mommy are in the kitchen having breakfast." He said going through the kitchen door.

"Chi-Chi," Kakarott stammered as he walked into the kitchen, and saw the one woman he had never been able to forget.

Chi-Chi turned around to look at Goku she paled not knowing what to say. She then looked at Gohan. "Um"

Bulma picking up on her friend's distress turned to Kakarott. "Good morning Kakarott, this is my friend Chi-Chi and her son Gohan, but it looks like you already know each other. So I will leave and let you two catch up." She ended with a wink at Chi-Chi before getting up to exit the room. "Gohan and I will just take a walk around outside for a bit."

Just before Bulma went out the kitchen door, Kakarott broke out of his confusing thoughts. He paled and grabbed Bulma's arm as she walked past him. Bulma just looked up at him in question and he released her.

Kakarott paled then cleared his throat to speak, "Queen Bulma, Brolli has been taken captive, by the slave Yamacha."

Bulma just stared at Kakarott in disbelief, "What? How is that possible, Brolli is the strongest being in the universe?"

"He put a ki-dampening caller on him, after he was done training. He then sent word that he wanted to talk to you, he is on Vid-screen in the communications room. Vegeta is already there."

Without waiting for Kakarott to say another word, Bulma flew out of the room, her face ashen with worry. In seconds she was staring at a Vid-screen, with Yamacha standing in front of a badly beaten Brolli.

"Ah, if it is not my little whore of a Queen," commented Yamacha as he saw her enter.

"What have you done to him," Bulma asked, as a few tears escaped her eyes.

"What does it look like? Anyway, it is all thanks to you. You seemed to have forgotten that you are the one that invented the ki collar that is on your dear mate right now; or have you forgotten that you were once a well known inventor?"

"Cut the crap Yamacha, why are you doing this and what do you want?" Bulma questioned, glaring at Yamacha through her tears.

Yamacha smiled wickedly, "I want nothing, just thought you might like to see this." With that he pulled a small knife out of his belt and slit Brolli's throat.

"NOOOO," screamed Bulma as she watched her mate, the most powerful being in the universe die before her eyes. As the bond weakened, Bulma used all of her strength to send one last message to her mate. `I will avenge you, my love.'

Brolli turned his bloody face up to the screen and looked her in the eye sadly, before the darkness over to him, and his head slummed back down. `I love you Bulma.' Were the last words Bulma heard in her head, before he died.

"You will pay Yamacha, you will pay; no amount of running will save you now. Not only have you killed the man I love but you did it in the most dishonorable way possible. He should have died in battle not at the hands of some weakling vampire who can't even look at the sun with out being burnt black." Bulma raged through her tears as she glared at Yamacha, who was still injured from her last assault on him.

"It does not matter how he died, what matters is that I killed him. Now I must be going, you will never find me in the dark universe." With that the screen went black.

Bulma turned to Vegeta and wiped away her tears. "I request a ship now. I will catch him and make him pay no matter what."

Vegeta looked at Bulma intently, "It could take you a thousand years to find him in the dark universe."

Walking to the door Bulma turned back and gave Vegeta a sad smirk, "Good thing I'm immortal. Now I want a ship ready in ten minutes. I revert all power of my kingdom to Chi-Chi and her `future' mate. Good Bye."

Once Bulma got to her rooms she walked in to see Kakarott, Chi-Chi, and Gohan all giving each other a hug. Bulma turned dead eyes to them, "Good Bye."

Chi-Chi immediately pulled out of the embrace and ran to Bulma, "Where are you going?"

"To avenge the death of my mate. Take care Chi-Chi; I'm happy for you and Kakarott. Watch over Gohan and take good care of him, he will make a great ruler one day, just as you will today."

"What do you mean?"

"I won't be coming back, I'm going to the dark universe, my kingdom is yours. Take good care of it as well as your mate and Gohan. I will miss you all." With that Bulma hugged her teary eyed friend, as well as her future mate and their son.

With that done, Bulma was off to the docking bay. Her tear streaked face was puffy and red as she opened the door. King Vegeta was waiting for her, "I wish you luck, though you will be greatly missed here by more than just your friend."

Bulma just nodded her head in acknowledgment of his statement as she readied one of the ships.

"I'm sorry this happened. He should never have been able to confiscate a space shuttle from us. He also should have never made it out of captivity. But, what is done is done. We will bury Brolli, whose body we picked up on radar shortly after he was killed and ejected from the ship. His name will be remembered for all time for his achievement of Super Saiyan. Go now, and good luck my child."

Mouthing `thank you' as her the door of her ship closed, Bulma slumped against the near by wall. Thankfully, the ship had a good auto pilot system and would need no help navigating its way in the dark universe. Once there, Bulma would begin her search for Yamacha. Until then she would morn her losses.

Three days later Bulma found herself at the black whole that went into the dark universe; whose name said just about everything about it. The stars there were black and showed no light. Everything there operated in the dark, and once there it was almost impossible to find your way out. The life forms that lived there were ruthless, and what few civilized planets did exist were hard to find, and often unwilling to take in guests.

None of this mattered, however, Bulma, being a vampire, had keen vision that could work in little light, of which there was none save `man made' in the dark universe. But, she also had a heightened sense of smell, sound, and movement. So, eventually, she would find Yamacha, though it would be a long, hard task, because without a tracking devise he would be a needle in a haystack.

As for food, Bulma only needed to find blood, and there were plenty of willing victims to be found in the dark universe. Taking a deep breath, Bulma navigated her ship into the complete blackness that was the dark universe, not to leave for 500yrs.

Bulma blinked as she looked at the many stars dotting the sky. It was one of the most beautiful sights she had ever seen. Clenching the small vial that was on a necklace, Bulma walked over to the control panel.

"Computer set a course for Vegeta-sei," Bulma stated.

Within seconds the ship reoriented it self, and went off towards Vegeta-sei. Bulma slumped down in a near by chair and closed her eyes. It had been a long journey, but she had accomplished her goal. Looking down at her grime coated body Bulma sighed. She would wait to clean up once she got to Vegeta-sei. Until then Bulma decided to take a well deserved nap.

Hours later Bulma awoke as she felt the ship slowing down, getting up Bulma walked back to the control room and looked out the window. The sight that greeted her was shocking, where the once beautiful planet of Vegeta-sei stood; there was rubble and debris, nothing more.

Bulma would have cried had her years in the dark universe not hardened her so much. It took Bulma a few moments to think of what to do next, but at last she decided to return to her home; where she first meet Brolli. So setting the quardinance yet again, Bulma went back to her bedroom to finish her nap. Had Bulma not been so tired she would have noticed the tiny blip on her radar showing that a small ship was following her own.

Alright sorry that was so short I will make my chapter longer next time. I figured that soo much happened in this one that to add any more would be too much. Besides the next chapter will be rather long so yeah. Anyway thanks to my beta-reader and sorry again that it has taken me soo long to write.
