Distractions

Last time in Bulma's Tail...

"You nearly got me married last night, jerk" She shook her fists at him. Bulma was too angry to realise she'd have to explain how she knew this,

"No I didn't." Vegeta tried to stay stone faced but he was too surprised.

"Yes you did. If you had bitten me we would be stuck together." She whined.

*Shit, busted.* "How do you know of Saiyan tradition?" He asked her.

Bulma paused. *Shit I'm busted.* She thought to herself.

******

"I, uh... found out the same way I learned Saiyain anatomy." She stuttered she had to tell him the whole truth now. She pointed to her computer, one of the culprits in the matter. Vegeta stormed over to where she sat.

He glanced at the laptop screen. "I know I don't read much Woman but this seems like a data base of some kind."

"Uh..maybe." Bulma smiled coyly hoping he wouldn't blow up.

"Where did you get this?" He asked holding in every muscle. He seriously wanted to destroy that machine.

"King Kold's ship." She said quietly. "I snuck in last week."

"I thought it had been destroyed." Vegeta growled. "That was really stupid even for you."

"I haven't been able to think logically just now. I seem to get distracted." Bulma said this while staring directly at Vegeta's naked body. Absorbing every inch of angry saiyan muscle.

"Hello... wake up idiot....wench." He waved his hand in front of her face. "BULMA."

This made her blink out her trance. "Oh, see there I go again. How can a genius work in these conditions." Bulma pouted and tried to look like she was in a huff.

"Hmphh." Was all Vegeta said turning away from her. To him it seemed perfectly natural the woman should be distracted by his naked body. He didn't realise Bulma was now ogling his exposed buttocks. They were just too tempting. Her hand reached out and she gave the right cheek a pinch.

Vegeta roared into the air. More annoyed at the pinch, being caught off guard. "Contain yourself Woman." He flew to the opposite side of the capsule house. He had never been embarrassed before. His cheeks were flushed, this just made him angry.

"Keep away from me." He yelled. He didn't know any strategy against bum pinching. It wasn't suppose to happen to a Saiyan prince. Getting dressed seemed a good start.

"If I keep away from you how are you suppose to keep our agreement." Bulma was answered by silence.

Vegeta wasn't speaking; he was too busy finding his clothes. "Okay don't answer me see if I care. I was going to accept your stupid Saiyan proposal, but that's all right I can live alone." Bulma was shouting now. "I'll live in my Capsule mansion with fifty cats for company. It's not like I wanted you or nothing." She crossed her arms and turned her back to him.

Vegeta paused in his clothes hunt. "You're weird." He said to her.

"Yeah I get that a lot." Bulma sighed, her tail fell beside her. She found it hard staying angry with him. She poured herself some coffee, determined to get the full truth from him. "So Vegeta if I wish my tail away would you still want me?" She needed to know. She couldn't marry someone that only wanted her for her tail.

"I don't know." Vegeta answered honestly. The question had been plaguing him as well

"Well then I should wish it away. Then we'll know for sure."

Vegeta frowned deeply. The woman was using emotional blackmail on him. He wanted her and her tail. He wanted every inch of her. He just couldn't say those words.

"I'm not sure if I want to mate with you." He said coldly.

"What about the offering and all those other Saiyan rites or are you just playing me?" Bulma's cheeks were red with anger now. For some reason they could never have a conversation. It always ended in an argument.

"I'm testing you moron. I haven't made up my mind." Vegeta snarled.

"Testing me? I'm not some lab animal here to be poked and prodded at!" Bulma screamed.

"Here I thought you liked getting poked." Vegeta smirked.

"PERVERT!" Bulma brushed past him. All she had wanted was just five minutes to know how he felt about her. She smashed the coffee down on the floor. She had to get out of the small house. It was beginning to get claustrophobic.

"We've still got an agreement." Vegeta shouted after her.

Bulma turned her eyes burning with tears. "Just don't bite me ever! There is no way in hell I'm getting stuck with you!"

She stormed out cursing the prince's stubbornness. *Why couldn't he just tell me he wanted me. Just a simple 'I want you'. It's not like I'm asking for his love. It's too soon for him to love.* Bulma rushed out of the house with her thoughts. *I love him.* Vegeta didn't blink as the door slammed shut.

"Stubborn bitch." He muttered. He found his jeans and quickly put them on. His shirt was in a tatters, Bulma had torn it last night. He had to go after her. He was beginning to get extremely protective of her.

Outside Bulma had wandered out of the cave. Her anger had again faded. Vegeta had only surfaced all her insecurities. Even if she did marry him and forgot about the wish. She would have a nagging voice in the back of her head.

'He just wants you for his tail'. She began to climb a tree. Something she hadn't done since a child. Her tail's fur was still wet, it was making her shiver. She needed to go back inside and dry herself. That would mean having to face Vegeta again. She climbed up higher. For some reason her sense of balance had increased since she got her tail.

Looping the tail on a branch she let herself go. Swinging down she tried testing her tail. Her legs grabbed the branch as well, but her full weight was being held by the tail. It did make sense that it was strong. The organic flesh had some Saiyan DNA in it. She saw Vegeta approaching her from the cave. She just growled, she didn't care now. She was having fun and Vegeta was going to spoil it.

"Hi." She smiled as she saw his frown. "You look happy when I'm upside down."

"Do you always play childish games?" He asked looking up. "Saiyan children swing from their tails to help strengthen them."

Bulma just laughed. "I didn't know."

"So you didn't get that from the data base?" He was looking up at her now smirking.

"I only really read the anatomy and some rituals. I didn't translate much." Bulma was hanging with her hands down. She could almost reach Vegeta.

"I need a new shirt.' He held up the tattered remains. "You destroyed it trying to get to my body."

Bulma blushed. "Wow, I did that? Meow." She pulled herself up. "I might have a vest that can fit."

Vegeta walked back to the house. He couldn't understand how the woman could be angry one minute and happy the next. Her mood swings were beginning to make his head hurt. "Wait for me." Bulma cried running after him. She had finally detangled herself from the tree. It had been really childish but what she needed. She couldn't worry about Vegeta and marriage. What she needed was to find the dragonballs and make her wish.

"You know you still have to tell me." Bulma said as she handed him her largest vest. It was a man's vest, an old one of her fathers.

Vegeta just grunted a response. The vest was a little tight on him, but it would do.

"So we go to get the rest of the dragonballs." He said finally. "I want to get back to training."

Bulma felt her anger rise again. When was he going to just say he wanted her. She would fall into his arms in an instant. She recapsulised the house and got on her bike.

Her mind raging over what her wish should be. Soon all seven dragonballs would be gathered and she'd have to tell Shenlong what her wish was. Plus there was also that other part of the agreement. She'd have to have sex with Vegeta before she made the wish. She inwardly groaned. It would be bliss and torture at the same time.

Authors Note: To make up for that awful cliff-hanger lemon next! Will Vegeta finally tell her? Will he (ahem) pay more attention to her 'needs' next time? Will they ever agree to tie the knot?
