Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Bright Lights at Capsule Corporation/New Year's Eve Party ❯ Woman, you want me, Give me a sign ( Chapter 2 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
NOTES:

Hello to all! Okay, there was a nice demand for the continuation of the Holidays Saga, so this next one is in time for New Years' Eve.

After the Halloween and Thanksgiving Series, many of you wanted a continuation....and there is.....There is this one and one more which is for Spring........Now instead of Christmas in Japan, generally the current Emperor's Birthday,which is December 23rd will take a more important role and is a National Holiday. New Years is Celebrated about the same time and is a big Holiday. I use the term Winter Solstice Festival to designate Christmas and other such holidays that take place at that time.

For further explanations of special holidays go to: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2062.html - This site is a Japanese guide to their holidays and an explanation and a bit of history. It was brought to my attention by a major Otaku of DBZ that the setting of Dragonball Z is not Japan...but a world of its own. It was created by Japanese animator(s). So for this reason, also to bridge the gap of many different opinions of where DBZ actually takes place I use a loosely held American/Japanese mesh of Holidays. This way I figure all bases are covered.

Disclaimers: Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Dragonball GT, etc. belong to Akiya Toriyama, TOEI Entertainment, FUNimation, Viz Communications, Irwin Toys, Pioneer (for videos of early DBZ), etc. etc. The song by Duran Duran "Is There Something I Should Know (Dance Remix), and the song "You Drop the Bomb on Me" by the Gap Band are referred to so give them the credit since it belongs to them....Monique, Ursula, Dina, Devon, Jason, the Chief, and are my creations that I can manipulate (*evil laugh*).

BRIGHT LIGHTS AND CAPSULE CORP/NEW YEARS EVE PARTY



Part Two: "Woman, you want me, Give me a sign"*


______________________________________________________ ____________

As the song ended Bulma slowed her skates to a stop. She started to push off in a slow beeline for the sound booth, when she felt strong arms of steel muscle encircle her tiny waist...."Leaving so soon? We haven't even had dessert!" She whirled around to face the feral look of Vegeta,"Come onna, lets play". Bulma felt vaguely like hunted quarry as he picked her up off her feet.

"Vegeta WILL you put me down! I've got to practice; to TRAIN before the party! she spluttered squirming in his arms....He would pick a bad time to play around.......which is exactly what she counted on in this scheme. She knew through their closeness that he could pick up on her thoughts and so she carefully flooded her mind with lists of bot parts, to confuse the baka Prince. Now with a little push here and there, everything would go according to plan.

Vegeta peered at her suspiciously. He ached with desired for his Mate, but he had this nagging feeling that she was up to something......~~Shimatta, the little majo is ALWAYS up to something!~~ Well! He was not the Saiyan no Ouji for nothing! Then his stomach roared plainatively,"Woman, WHERE in the name of Vegetasei is my meal!!? WHAT DAMN PARTY? Why would you have to train for a baka Chikyuu Party?"

"Vegeta are we going to go through this AGAIN? There is food in the refrigerator! Make yourself useful!" Bulma said completely ignoring the party references.

"First of all, there IS no food in that frozen box you call 'refrig-whatever' and secondly it is YOU, my MATE who should know her place. YOU are to have my meals prepared for me, AS I REQUIRE, onna!" Vegeta growled.

Bulma knew she could go two ways with this.....either argue and stomp way....... or argue and GET her way. Of course, she naturally chose the later, "You know Vegeta, last time I looked I did not sprout a French Maid costume and a serving cap!! If you are SOOOOO hungry, there is a kitchen right through those doors with a huge refrigerator.....pick through that......NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!!!! I have a little more training to do !" And with that Bulma stalked off to the sound booth to rifle through more CD's.....

Vegeta grumbled under his breath, but nevertheless stalked off to the kitchen area of the Ballroom that was used for caterers during many functions. He opened up the gray steel door to reveal a heavenly smorgasbord of rare roast, prime rib steaks, a whole platter of stirfry vegetables. He quickly grabbed the foodstuffs in mass and plunked them down on a buffet sideboard. He wasted no time diving into the repast, finishing in a suprisingly fast amount of time.

Vegeta leaned back in his chair then, gusting out a contented sigh at his satiated state. ~~Now.....to that little majo. Lets see what the minx has up her sleeve this time~~ and with that thought, he stood up and walked to the frame opening of the kitchen. Leaning up against the door jam, arms crossed, he watched his Mate with a smirk. She was so Saiyan at times.......arrogant, proud, and feisty......Bulma truly was fit to be his Mate.....he would just never let her know that.....not yet in any case. He was enjoying this hunt far too much to spoil it.....
_______________________________________________________________ _________ __________

~~Ah! Here we go! Perfect!~~ Bulma mused. She picked up the CD and placed into the massive stereo player and flipped the switch. She then re-adjusted the lighting from Danny's well planned out panel, keeping the main lights dim, the mirror ball rotating and the spot lights full on.....Now! Time to bag a Saiyan no Ouji.....everything was locked and loaded.

Bulma left the sound booth and glided back out onto the smooth Ballroom floor, directly to the center. As the strains of music flooded into the air, she thrust herself out into a wide arch, and began once again moving in a wide oval shaped circuitous.


( A Ha ha!)

Dark in the city, night is a wire
Steam in the subway, earth is a fire
(Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do)
Woman, you want me, give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
(Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do)

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line, in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Bulma fell into a basic routine, rhythmically moving her hips in a slow figure eight as she glided on the floor. She then alternated this by undulating her hips in a roll that thrust in and rolled back out. Delicate arms wove a sinuous pattern to match the movements of her lower body; the music looked like it had picked her up and wrapped itself around her; an invisible lover with savage seduction.

Stalked in the forest, too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
(Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do)
High blood drumming on your skin it's so tight
You feel my heart, I'm just a moment behind
(Do-do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do, do do)

In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Vegeta licked his lips, his body stirring with a familiar heat. Her body moved with a delicious sensuality, and it called to his wild, untamed heart. ~~Onna, I will snare you yet....~~ his thoughts growled. He moved slowly away from the door jam, and began to stalk his game. ~~Come to me, little one~~ he projected to her in his thoughts.

Bulma secretly giggled as she continued to 'heat up' her skate routine. Oh, she had heard his call, but this wasn't over yet.....Oh, no. Not by a long shot. ~~Vegeta, why don't you come and get me......if you can keep up~~ she flung back at him in her thoughts.

(Hungry like the wolf, hungry like the wolf, hungry like the wolf)

Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
I smell like I sound, I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, it's discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf

Burning the ground (ahhh!) I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound, (ahh) I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line, (ahh) it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive (ahhh!) all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf...


When the song finished, Bulma once more headed for the sound booth. She brushed passed Vegeta, making sure that a hand lingered a bit over his crossed arms as she went into the booth. Vegeta felt the touch and felt his temperature rise higher, "Woman, what kind of training is that? Training is about warfare and you are playing on those wheeled contraptions stuck to your feet!"

"Vegeta," she said in a calm voice, much like one explains to a very small child," these are rollerblades." She gestured to her skates with her little hand. "I 'train' or 'practice' to make sure that I keep balance, maintain proper control and improve my skills. It is pretty much like your training but in a different area. This is not for warfare, but for exercise and recreation."

"It looks like nonsense, onna. You should be doing something more sensible. Training with your cooking would be good." ~~THERE!~~he thought,~~Maybe she will argue with that!~~ He really enjoyed the verbal sparring, and it would take his mind off the new hunger that was nagging him. She was his Mate, truly, but he could not let that interfere with important things......like 'real' training to become Super Saiyan.

"Maybe you feel like that Vegeta because YOU don't know how to skate. It's a shame really.....almost everyone knows how to do this......even Goku. He and I use to skate all the time before he and Chi-chi got married. Looks like Goku has one more thing that he has bested you at, ne?"

Vegeta shook with anger. Kakkarot, a third-class good for nothing.....touching HIS Mate, and mastering this... this.... this ridiculous habit.......besting HIM? The Saiyan no Ouji? PAH! "You go too far woman...." he said in a low dangerous voice.

"Vegeta, it's really simple. I have an extra pair of rollerblades in the sound booth. Why don't you give it a try? I'm sure with your balance, and skills it won't be a problem.......Unless of course you are scared.....I CAN always ask Goku to be my skate partner at the Party..."

Vegeta grabbed Bulma, crushing her to him. "Show me this, this skating thing! You will show me NOW!" he said in a voice filled with throbbing rage, "And know this woman, you are MY Mate, and you will be with no one but ME!"

_____________________________________________________________ ___________ ______________


He growled horribly and uttered under his breath for what seemed the millionth time,"Woman, these things are unnatural! THIS is unnatural!" The odd boots were bad enough, but the narrow inline, tiny wheels felt uncomfortably unstable.

"Vegeta I heard you the first one hundred times, so you needn't remind me." she sighed with exasperation. "Okay, take my hands, and let's begin the training shall we?" The previous song was playing once more ," Look, Vegeta, I'll skate backwards. You put your hands on my hips and I'll guide you.......Trust Me!" she smirked a bit. ~~Hmm, this ought to be interesting!~~

~~Think so little majo?~~ Vegeta quipped.

Bulma had forgotten and let her guard down a bit.....but he felt so good, and his hands.........

"Ahem, okay, baka, lets get this goin'. First you will want to go forward by pushing off with each of your feet alternating. The thing that makes this different from regular walking is that you will push out to the side and slightly back with each foot. Here let me show you...." Bulma then began a very slow forward motions she had indicated earlier. "Now, you try while holding on to me". She grabbed his hands and placed them on her hips, pulling him forward slightly to start.

"Woman this is absurd!" But fascination took over his rumbling protests, as he felt the gliding gate begin underneath him. ~~Rather like flying while not leaving the ground......hmmmm~~

~~Yes, it is like flying, or swimming~~ Bulma smiled.

Vegeta merely smirked,"No wonder that baka Kakkarot learned this so quickly....it isn't all that difficult!"

"Well, Vegeta, then you must be ready for phase two already! Now you let go and try on your own!" with that she grabbed his hands and pried them off her hips with a quick fluid motion.

It was at this point that Vegeta lost balance.................

And promptly fell......

Directly on his pride..........

He quickly levitated up back to a standing position, all the while a giggling Bulma pointing at him.

"Sorry Veggie-chan, it's just.....ehehahahhaeheh......you....ehehhhahahah...." she kept laughing with tears forming in her eyes, from giggling too hard. His tone of voice quieted Bulma rather quickly. It wouldn't do to have him too miffed off......that would sabotage all the plans. " Gomen Nasai, luv. You just looked adorable is all" making her eyes go wide and innocent. "Lets start again shall we?"

"WOMAN SILENCE!" Vegeta roared, "NO! WE will not start again because WE are not going to do this kuso anymore!" In one, quick fluid motion the skates were off and were just as quickly hurled against a wall, promptly denting it.

"Shimatta Vegeta! WILL you take it easy? If your gonna have THIS much trouble, I'll just go ask Goku.....nevermind about the training" she was really getting irritated.

"NANI? You will NOT! You will do as you're told woman!" he rumbled dangerously.

Bulma quickly realized the situation was getting away from her.....and she was NOT about to have this plan ruined. Clearing her throat she said,"Look, if that is how it is, then get up off your lazy Saiyan ketsunoana and get the skates back on.....Let's begin training again." She knew that his pride of training to be the best would push out his angry embarrassment.

"Very well, Woman......Continue this....this....TRAINING of yours, as YOU call it....." he growled.

The lesson progressed rather well after that.......even though Vegeta was not the easiest pupil, he was a fast learner. "Okay, otoko, lets stop for the day....we can train more tomorrow, ne? Are you hungry?"

"Hai, Onna, I could eat" he smirked. He pressed her closely, deeply kissing her with his warm lips. ~~How about you, woman?~~

_________________________________________________________ _______________ _______________

That afternoon, Bulma began her preparations for the party. Vegeta had generously agreed to grant an appearance at the New Years Eve Party......Now to get the others lined up and the caterers busy.

Her last phone call was to Devon,"Hey Devon? Bulma here!"

"Hey, Bulma. I was just thinking about you and everyone " she answered quietly.

"Well guess what?! I'm gonna have a New Years Eve Party...it will be Capsule Corp. employees earlier in the day, but the evening will be for just friends and family. I wanted you to come for the whole day if you're up to it!"

"Hmmmm.......well......." Devon seemed very hesitant.

"Oh come on Devon! Piccolo will be there too! Everyone!"

"Well......Okay! Okay! I'll do it, Bulma! I'll be there! What time should I show up?"

"Well, probably about 9am if that is not too early.....The caterers will probably be finishing up and I will need help with general coordination of guests."

"Okay Bulma.....9am on December 31st! See you then..." and with that Devon rang off.
