Chapter 6- I really hate these things…:

 

 

Sighing tiredly Bulma checked herself over again, for what had to be the twentieth time, in the mirror. She had to make sure everything was perfect or else she would never hear the end of it from Kasumi. Apparently this was supposed to be one of the most important company galas this year, but Bulma could care less. She was actually going as representative for Capsule Corp. since her father was stuck at home, confined to his bed because he had developed a nasty cold, and Eddie was in America trying to close an extremely important and lucrative deal.

Sighing again she fixed the strand of diamonds that hung from her neck. This particular necklace was one of her favorites, having beautifully cut diamonds all along that curved to meet the beautiful amber colored diamond that hung much like a tear drop right above the swell of her breasts. Smiling brightly at her reflection she winked before heading out the door of her huge walk in closet.

“There you are Bulma!” Kasumi said applying the topcoat of light pink lipstick to her lips. Smacking her lips gently she spun around to face her friend. “Oh my goodness you look amazing!” She gasped out eyeing the now blushing Bulma who stood in the middle of her bedroom. “I know who's going to be the bell of the ball.” She chuckled walking up towards her friend.

“Oh stop. You're making me blush.” Bulma chuckled back letting her friend smooth a crease out of her gown.

“Well you should be. You look so beautiful. You'll be stealing all the eligible men from me before we even get in the door.” The strawberry blonde murmered looking up at the bedroom's clock. “Bulma we're behind! We won't even be fashionably late if we waste anymore time!”

“Oh hush. The party doesn't end until around three and it's only nine thirty. We'll get there at ten and make good time.” Bulma muttered grabbing her shaw and clutch. “And you look beautiful yourself by the way.” She said winking at her friend before walking towards her penthouse's door.

Vegeta sighed wearily taking a deep drout from his once filled glass. He was in need of another bourbon and fast. He definitely wasn't a very social person and he hated these types of parties. They were simply a way to smooze among big business heads and for them to try and talk their way into taking each others money. His father had forced him to attend these as soon as he became of age at thirteen. He had been bored than and he was now.

Feeling the short tug of his arm he looked down at his date a blonde haired curvy graduate student he had met during a short trip in Milan. She was a model on the side to pay for her education and he had bumped into her while he had been reading a local paper and walking towards a small café for some lunch. They had, unfortunately, ended up sharing a table, though Vegeta had been yearning for some soliatary. He had felt a twinge of guilt when he had made her fall and spill her papers in some mud and offered her lunch as compensation. He had been seriously regretting that ever since.

This girl, well more like woman since she was 26, was the most annoying person he had ever met, and not in a good way. Sure she was hell of beautiful and extremely smart but he didn't know why he put up with her. She had an extremely grating voice and thought that she had some sort of control over him just because they had had sex together a few times. Oh yes…now he remembered why he put up with her…

“With a look like that, I'd think you were thinking something dirty.” The blonde whispered lightly licking his ear. She knew what she was doing there was no doubt about that.

Turning to look into her green eyes he grinned ferally squezzing her butt, doing this more out of trying to embarrase her in public than having any real desire for her.

“Hmm…I don't mean to interrupt you two.” A sleazy voice said interrupting Vegeta, “but I just couldn't stop myself from saying hi, Vegeta.” The way he said his name made Vegeta's scalp prickle with disgust and anger. He knew who's voice that was without even turning around.

“Frieza.” He growled low in his throat spinning around to face the pale creature.

“I'm glad you remember me Vegeta.” The ugly white skinned creature chuckled training his eyes on Vegeta's date, considering Vegeta beneath his notice. “And who is this lovely creature?” His red eyes trailed up and down the form of the blonde making Vegeta growl in anger and warning.

“Amie. Amie Jones.” The blonde cooed out extracting herself from Vegeta grip. Taking her outstretched hand the white skinned alien slowly placed a kiss on it while stealing a glance over at Vegeta who was standing teeth and fists clenched in anger.

“The pleasure is all mine.” He said finally letting her hand go and stepping back. “I'm sure you know my right hand man, Vegeta. Zarbon.” Glancing to his right Vegeta glared at the tall green skinned man who had stepped up to take Amie's hand, laying a chaste kiss on it before stepping back next to Frieza.

That girl really was annoying and his annoyance with her only increased when Frieza and Zarbon had touched her.

“Dodoria is away unfortunately. I'm sure he would have loved to be here.” Frieza continued turning his attention to Vegeta. “This is a wonderful gathering wouldn't you say Zarbon?” He said making short conversation.

“It is sir. Many a beautiful woman.” The beautiful green skinned man murmured focusing his eyes on Amie who smiled charmingly at him. Having noticed the little interaction Vegeta simply wanted to walk away and puke. He really hated these parties.

Quite ready to leave the company of the two revolting men he got ready to excuse himself. “It was a ple…” He began before he was interrupted by Frieza who now had his attention trained on a figure coming down the cream carpeted steps.

“Zarbon, mine eyes must be deceiving me for I have never seen such a heavenly creature.” Frieza murmured attracting the stares of the other three, along with an angry growl from Vegeta for being interrupted and an angry snort from Amie.

Turning his attention to the figure Frieza was staring at he was completely awed at the sight of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life. It was as if a heavenly light shone on her angelic body as she slowly made her way down the steps towards the crowd. Her face shown with radiance and the small tiara atop her blue hair shone like a beacon for the lost. Wait…blue hair… Briefs! Gasping softly he almost missed the words spoken between Frieza and Zarbon that made his blood boil.

“Such a beautiful creature that I haven't had the pleasure of yet meeting. Please grab her and bring her over before some undeserving pest tries to snag her attention.” Frieza told Zarbon who had been staring at the blue haired beauty the whole time.

“Of course sir. Right away.” He muttered quickly making his way through the crowd to her.

Narrowing his eyes in anger at the back of Frieza he missed the icy flash of jealousy in his date's green eyes.

“This is it Bulma. Isn't this place fantastic?” Kasumi chattered straightening her blue gown in the mirror.

“Mmmhmmm.” Bulma mumbled back staring at herself in the hallway's mirror. She had gotten many a complement from both men and women and many a jealous glare. She knew she was beautiful and she was quite used to all of that, but for some reason tonight just felt different. Maybe it was because she didn't have Yamcha on her arm to escort her. What she wouldn't do for a date right now…

“Why so down?” Her friend asked shattering her train of thought.

“What? Oh, I'm fine.” Bulma assured her putting on a bright smile. Just a few hours and she would be back in her room pigging out on ice-cream. Maybe she should have brought Goku as her date…

Frowning upon that last thought Bulma took one more glance in the mirror to make sure everything was perfect before spinning to face Kasumi. “Alright let's go get this over with.” She said smiling at her.

“You sure?” Kasumi said knowing something was wrong with her friend. She didn't want to force her to do something she didn't want.

“I'm sure. Let's go.” Bulma muttered tugging her friend towards the grand doors.

“Briefs, Bulma and guest.” She muttered when she reached the manager who stood behind a podium with guestbook.

“Ms. Briefs!” He gasped out bowing low before handing her a small card. “I hope you enjoy yourself, complements of Hirome Bells Hotel.”

“Thank you.” She smiled sweetly preparing herself as the two stately dressed guards slowly opened the huge oak doors. Breathing deeply she put on a grand smile as she stepped through the doors.

She felt many eyes train on her as she stepped onto the plush cream carpet. “Still here Kasumi?” She whispered not looking back to see if her friend was there or not.

“Yeah. I'm bringing up the rear.” Her friend chuckled nudging her a bit to move forward.

“No need to rush me. We wouldn't want me to fall down the stairs would we?” Bulma muttered slowly making her way down the stairs. As the stares increased the red of her cheeks became rosier. Her heart started beating heavily when she felt a pair of burning eyes watching her from afar. She got that feeling again, that tonight was different, as she finally made her way to the crowd of businessmen and women.

She couldn't but help smile when many surged around her greeting her and commented on her dress. She spoke her responses much like a robot for she truly felt rehearsed in all her movements at the moment. She could hear Kasumi chuckling in the background at some stupid joke being told. She smiled glad that she had brought her best female friend. She would be great company during these long hours. She really hated these things.

“My lady.” A smooth baritone spoke right next to her ear making her jump a bit.

Turning to face the man, “Yes can I help you?” She snapped glaring at him for scaring her.

“My apologies for scaring you. I simply wanted to ask you to come with me. My sire would love to meet you.” He bowed low taking her gloved hand in the process and laying a light kiss on it.

She gazed into his amber eyes looking for any signs of deceit before sighing softly and nodding her head. She hadn't been expecting to be accosted by such a handsome man. Maybe it was better she that she hadn't brought a date after all…

“Kasumi.” Bulma called bringing her friends attention to her. “I'm going to meet someone. He…err…” She paused not knowing the man's name.

“Zarbon.” He finished for her smiling charmingly at her friend who had been gazing adoringly at him.

“Right. Zarbon will be taking me to meet him. Find me if you need something. I'll be around, you can't miss the blue hair.” Bulma continued chuckling at her last statement.

“Sure thing. Don't have too much fun kiddies.” Kasumi chuckled waving them away before winking at Bulma.

Shaking her head at her friend she took the extended arm of the handsome green skinned man allowing her to be steered away.

Vegeta's fingers had been digging into his palms creating a painfully soothing feeling as he grit his teeth trying to keep himself from strangling Frieza and Amie. While Zarbon had walked off to retrieve Briefs he had been stuck here forced to watch the most disgusting display ever. His date had been playfully flirting with the ugly beast for what felt like hours though it had only been mere minutes. She really was annoying and he was starting to really hate her. He already hated Frieza.

“Vegeta, where is that long-haired buffoon you work with?” Frieza said breaking him out of his deadly thoughts.

“He's here.” He muttered lowly pissed that Frieza had spoken to him. He really hated him.

“Around messing with some girl I'm sure.” The sleazy voice of Zarbon piped up bringing Vegeta's attention to him. “May I introduce Ms. Bulma Briefs, president and CEO of Capsule Corp.”

Vegeta was completely floored at the sight that stood in front of him. She had been beautiful from afar but she was almost otherworldly as she stood next to Zarbon.

His black eyes trailed over her form noting the tiara, which seemed to hold the pile of blue hair atop her head. Her face was lightly fitted with the slightest of makeup accenting her true natural beauty. He noticed the strand of diamonds that matched her gown, especially the tear shaped amber diamond that fitted right above her breasts, which softly swelled in the heart shaped bust of her gown. The gown itself was a creamy color with amber contrasts that molded to her every curve, smoothing out into a silky lower skirt that skimmed her knees on downward. The pearl and diamond beading that curved in intricate designs from the bust to the skirt glittered as if it was a beacon to the sun's light itself. Truly the most beautiful creature he had ever seen.

“It is truly a pleasure to make your acquaintance Ms. Briefs. It is a shame we haven't had the pleasure before now.” Frieza chatted seizing her silvery white-gloved hand and placing a slow kiss upon it.

The vein in Vegeta's forehead began to throb when the ugly abomination placed his cold purple lips on her. Luckily she was gloved. He didn't know why he felt so utterly bothered by the scene. She wasn't his….yet.

He looked up feeling her cool blue gaze on him. His eyes locked with her in a silent battle of will. He couldn't help grinning slightly when she smiled brightly at him. She really was the most beautiful creature. Maybe these parties weren't so bad after all…

Bulma chuckled politely at something Zarbon had said. She was really trying to pay attention but for some reason she just couldn't bring herself to be fully comfortable around him. A feeling of foreboding she supposed.

As she neared a small group, that feeling had returned with a vengeance. Something big was going to happen tonight but she couldn't be sure what. She really hated these things.

In the back of her mind she heard Zarbon say something about `messing around with some girl'. She really could care less about his aimless chatter. He was getting annoying.

Staring at the short ugly creature that she was being introduced to, she almost gasped when she felt dark piercing eyes gazing at her as if almost trying to undress her. She was about to look up at the source when the creature took her hand.

She allowed the nasty white thing in front of her to take her hand for a kiss. She vaguely knew that he was one of the Kolds. No one else looked like them. “It is truly a pleasure to make your acquaintance Ms. Briefs. It is a shame we haven't had the pleasure before now.” The ugly freak spoke slightly bringing her attention to him. He must have inherited his mother's ugliness. Cooler and Kold at least had a little something going for them. This one looked like freezed dried barf.

“Er. Likewise, Frieza I would presume. I've only met your father Kold and brother Cooler before this.” Bulma muttered slowly extracting her hand. She looked up finally noticing the two other people in the group. She once again had to keep herself from gasping as she observed the handsome dark form of a certain Vegeta Ouji.

As if he had felt her eyes on him he looked up matching her gaze. She was at once trapped in his burning dark gaze. He was really handsome and his eyes were the most beautiful orbs. Was this why tonight was so different, she wondered smiling brightly at him? She'd have to find out. She did like a good challenge. Maybe these parties weren't so bad after all.
