Chapter Eight

 

“Father” Radditz breathed.

 

“I heard what I thought was a struggle and that maybe Bulma was in need of assistance, and I see that I was right” Bardock growled at his eldest son.

 

“Father, you have no idea of what you speak” Radditz hissed back obviously taking his fathers words as an insult to him.

 

“Get out now and never touch her again and remember your place BOY” Bardock stated through gritted teeth his eyes holding the promise of retribution if he disobeyed him.

 

I stood stock still and watched as Radditz growled at his father and stormed from my room, his ki crackling around him so intensely that I thought he might literally explode form the pressure.

 

I lowered my eyes to the ground as Bardock slowely walked over to me and placed his hands upon my shoulders.

 

“Bulma, are you alright” Bardock asked, his voice low and soft, making me look up into his face, with tears freely flowing from my eyes.

 

“Yes, it.. it was just a miss understanding” I sniffled, graciously attempting to wipe my eyes.

 

“He should know better” Bardock replied, releasing my shoulders and heading towards the door. Before he left he turned to me and stated that Radditz would not touch me ever again and then left me hoping that although Radditz had taken advantage of me he would not be punished for his actions, for that alone would hold heavy on my already fractured heart.

 

………………………&# 8230;…….

 

I was lying in bed thinking over what had transpired between myself, Radditz and his father when it suddenly struck me `why was Bardock even here?'.

 

Getting up from my bed I quickly pulled on my robe and went in search of Bardock in order to find out his reasons for being here.

 

Finding a servant exiting the dining room I was informed that he was inside finishing his meal.

 

I entered the dimly lit dining room to find Bardock sitting leisurely within one of the seats a bottle of some kind of liquor sitting on the table as he drank deeply from his glass. He looked up at me and smiled beckoning to sit and join him, to which I did.

 

“So what can I do for you at such a late hour” Bardock enquired after me, taking an empty glass and pouring me a drink to which I took and sipped, before replying.

 

“I was wondering why you are here” I simply stated.

 

Bardock smiled at me warmly and informed me that it was because Kakkarot had informed him that he and Chi Chi were expecting a child, and that he wanted to make sure that everything was well with the expectant mother of his first grandchild, and to make sure that Kakkarot was taking special care of her.

 

I smiled at this, once again wishing my own father had been Bardock or at least like him, he loved his children that much was obvious, even when he had yelled at Radditz earlier, I could tell that he prided himself in his children, even when they disappointed him.

 

We talked for a while longer, where I was also informed that Cyan was preparing for the coming ceremony where Iona and Vegeta would be joined, thus uniting the two empires. He also told me how Vegeta had been extremely moody lately, and had nearly killed several guards, I wondered if it was because of the upcoming ceremony, it was obvious he had no romantic interest in his intended, I had witnessed that first hand. Thinking of when I had seen Vegeta and Iona together in his room, and how he had thrust into her without any passion or yearning, it was all so empty. I felt my checks begin to redden, and only hoped that Bardock did not notice, or if he did, think it was because of the liquor and not at the mention of Vegeta.

 

Bardock and myself chatted for a while longer until I found I could no longer keep my eyes open and found my eyes repeatedly closing. I bid my farewells to Bardock for the evening and returned to my room for a well deserved sleep which I knew would be filled with dreams of Vegeta and I partaking in very erotic and sexual acts.

 

………………………&# 8230;………………..

 

The next morning I awoke feeling very relaxed but quite warm and sweaty, I had been right and my dreams had been filled with images of myself and Vegeta in them, god what was wrong with me, I becoming obsessed with the man, and knew that I would not be able to keep what little sanity I had left if I kept on like this.

 

I got up and had a lovely steaming hot shower, letting the spray wash away all the impure thoughts from both my body and my mind. I then put on a simple two piece trouser suit in green and headed to breakfast.

 

Upon arriving I found to my delight that Chi Chi had joined us, however upon further entering the room I found that one could cut the air with a knife, the tension was so thick.

 

It was as I took my seat that I noticed that Radditz was missing “Where is Radditz” I enquired to the others. Chi Chi and Kakkarot just looked at their plates, while Bardock cleared his throat and stated very matter of factly that he had been commissioned for another deep space assignment and had left before sun rise. I looked open mouthed at him and then at both Chi Chi and Kakkarot who's expression told me he was telling the truth.

 

“But why, when, how” I screeched in a childish manner, banging my fists on the table, I was sure he had been sent away due to his kissing me the night before, and I wanted answers.

 

“I was in communication with the king last night and had a lengthy conversation about my son and his dedication to his duties” Bardock spoke, putting a lot of sarcasm into the last part of his statement.

 

I sat there in stunned silence as Bardock continued to inform me that he had informed Vegeta that he felt that Radditz was overstepping his boundaries as my guard and Vegeta had immediately enlisted him to head out on a deep space mission.

 

By the time Bardock had finished his little speech about sending Radditz away and the upcoming ceremony it suddenly dawned on me that Bardock had also said we were to return to the main palace for the joining which was in several days time.

 

I thanked the gods when Chi Chi suddenly brought her breakfast up at the table as one I no longer had my appetite and two it gave me a reason to leave the room and dwell on what had happened.

 

Once I had helped Kakkarot get Chi Chi cleaned and settled back in her room I went to the labs where I managed to throw myself into my work so that I did not have to think about all that I had been informed.

 

………………………&# 8230;……………

 

The day quickly arrived where we would be returning to the main palace, and Bardock had remained to take over Radditz position as my guard. It took quite a few days and many arguments until we were on friendly terms again, I had been very upset feeling that it was my fault that Radditz had been sent away.

 

I gathered my cloak and met the others at the transport and within a few hours with only a couple of stops for Chi Chi to empty her stomach as the travelling made her feel worse than ever; I had even heard her growling at Kakkarot telling him that he would be having their next child, that was if she ever let him touch her again.

 

I was mid afternoon when we finally reached the main palace and I immediately noticed that it had been decorated ready for the celebrations which made me even more miserable than I was already feeling.

 

I found my rooms just how I had left them with the exception that there was a beautiful dress laid out upon my bed, I knew it was for the ceremony and could not bare to see it, so grabbed it and shut it away in my closet as they say `out of sight out of mind'.

 

I quickly settled back into the palace almost as if I had never left and although I found the first night awkward, having to have dinner with Vegeta and Iona, I managed to get through it without tearing up, or throwing myself at him like a pathetic twit.

 

Throughout the meal, I had spent most of my time speaking with Iona and Chi Chi, about the baby, while catching glances at Vegeta from the corner of my eye, noticing how he would often look at me, frown and then turn away.

 

By the night of the eve of the ceremony I found myself wanting to retire to my rooms early for the evening and just relax in a nice hot bath without having to watch another moment of Iona flirting with Vegeta and the many other guest congratulating the so called happy couple.

 

It was at this point that I also decided that I could no longer stay on Vegetasie and that I would return home to earth. For how could I stay and watch as the man I loved was with another, and I standing alone only being able to watch what I could never have. I also new that now without my father or Yamcha there it would be safe for me to make a new life for myself and hopefully one day be able to find that love that I so wanted.

 

After pruning myself in the bath for about an hour I towelled myself dry and pulled my hair into a messy bun, then placed on my robe, sighing I exited my bathing chamber and entered my bed chamber only to come to a complete stop.

 

 

 

 

That's it for now; hope you enjoy, please R&R if you get the chance.
