Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Friends, Bonds, and Family ❯ Chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

As soon as the group arrived at Capsule Corporation, the others, Krillin, Eighteen, Master Roshi, Oolong, Tien, Puar, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, and Videl, greeted them. Upon seeing the new person though, they were a little put off by the amount of power she generated.

When she landed, her power meant nothing as Roshi, Oolong, and Yamcha noticed how hot she looked. She shook out her long golden hair, mussed from the wind, making her look even sexier to them, who, by now, all had nosebleeds.

"Who's the babe?" Oolong asked, not noticing the growl Vegeta sent in his direction.

"My name's Sam. Who are you all?" She asked while placing a big smile on her face.

"Hey guys," Goku said, and then began the introductions, "this is Sam. Sam, this is the gang." He pointed to each in turn as he said, "that's Krillin, Eighteen, Master Roshi, Oolong, Yamcha, Puar, Tien, Chiaotzu, and Videl."

"Ooh," she said, moving to stand in front of Videl, her nose mere inches from the girl "you're Videl? Wow, I like you." She took a large breath, the scent of her mates obvious to Sam, and wrapped her in a big hug.

"Uh," Videl tried to speak but couldn't seem to get her breath. She looked imploringly at Gohan and then up to Piccolo but they were no help and just shrugged. Piccolo looked like he understood her predicament completely which was a shock to her because it took her weeks for him to stop flinching at her every touch.

Finally, Sam released her, allowing Videl to catch her breath. Roshi walked over and said, "You can hug me like that anytime."

Sam turned to the old man and cocked her head to the side, watching him with a criticizing eye before saying, "you seem nice enough."

Before Roshi could try anything Vegeta hollered out, "Sam!"

She turned to him and started walking, causing Roshi to fall flat on his face. "What is it 'Geta?"

Some of the others snickered at the nickname but a glare from Vegeta stopped that soon enough. "Let's get inside so the woman can make sure you're all right."

"OK!" She said with a happy smile on her face as she followed her new friends into the large building.

Sam sat on a bed surrounded by all sorts of machines and other equipment as well as Vegeta, Goku, and Bulma. She swung her legs back and forth, looking around the room, up at the ceiling and down at the floor.

Bulma looked at the machines she had just used to examine Sam and was pleasantly surprised. She had the same physical structure as any human or Saiyan and she appeared to be in top form. Bulma turned to the girl and said, "Well, you seem to be completely healthy."

"I could've told you that," she said, looking pointedly at Vegeta who just glared back, "I've never felt better." She stretched her arms over her head and hopped off of the bed, smiling widely the entire time.

She began walking towards the door when Vegeta said, "you should at least find something better to wear."

Sam looked down at her clothing and then back at the three people in the room, a slight blush gracing her cheeks. "Oh yeah, do you have some clothes I can borrow?" She asked Bulma.

Bulma smiled at the girl and said, "sure, come with me," and left the room, followed closely by Sam.

Goku turned to Vegeta and said, "'Geta, how do you know her?"

Vegeta knew this was coming so he turned to his mate, gathered his courage, and said, "She was my only friend while I was on Frieza's ship. I made a promise a long time ago that she would be free one day and it looks like now is the day." He then smirked up at his mate and said, "So there is no reason for you to be jealous."

Goku looked affronted and scoffed, "I wasn't jealous." He folded his arms and huffed.

Vegeta smiled and said, "You're kinda cute when you pout." He reached up and brought his mate down to meet his lips in a passionate kiss, their tongues warring for dominance.

Goku smiled into the kiss and knew he had nothing to worry about; after all, they were mates, bound body, mind, and soul.

Goku stood up straight, lifting his mate with him, not once breaking the kiss. Saiyans could go a long time without air after all and they had proved that time and time again. They liked to find out just how long was a long time. It was one of the many games the two played.

Just as it was about to get even more passionate, someone at the door cleared their throat. "You can do that kind of thing in your own home," Chi-chi said, causing Goku to pull back but Vegeta just turned to her and smirked.

Chi-chi just turned and walked away. Vegeta followed behind, still smirking, with Goku trailing behind him. They made their way into the living room of Capsule Corp.

Meanwhile, Videl had noticed Gohan's slightly singed clothing and was asking him several questions. "What happened? Are you hurt? Was it dangerous? Who is she? Is she dangerous? Was she the one in the ship?"

"Videl!" Piccolo said in a scolding tone. "He can't answer if you don't give him a chance."

She just looked indignant and said, "Well then, you tell me." She turned to Piccolo and gave him a meaningful glare.

"No one was hurt, it wasn't dangerous, she's a friend of Vegeta's, she doesn't appear to be dangerous, and she was the one in the ship."

The others were surprised that Piccolo had said so much and actually answered Videl but Gohan just smiled at the two. Then, the others processed what Piccolo had said and Krillin asked, "Vegeta had a friend?"

"That's what he said," Gohan answered.

"Of course 'Geta had a friend," the group turned to the voice that appeared at the stairs. Sam stood there wearing a pair of pink, slightly baggy shorts that reached her knees, and a long, loose, white t-shirt with a picture of a pink flower on the front.

As usual, Roshi and Oolong were drooling over the pretty woman. Bulma came down the stairs soon after followed by Chi-chi, Vegeta, and Goku.

Sam stood beside Vegeta and threw a companionable arm around his shoulders saying, "'Geta was my bestest friend in the whole wide universe. Of course, he was also my only friend, but that's beside the point."

Vegeta sighed, his head slightly bowed, an unusual embarrassed flush to his cheeks. Krillin was still a little worried about this woman and said, "I thought you came here to destroy something."

"I did," Sam said, removing her arm from around Vegeta's shoulders and walking farther into the living room. "But thanks to these guys," she gestured to Vegeta, Goku, Gohan, and Piccolo, "I don't wanna destroy anything."

Everyone had a few more questions to ask Sam until they were sure that she meant no harm to them or the planet. Roshi had gotten a little too close to Sam, in Vegeta's opinion, at one point, and had ended up causing a Roshi shaped hole to appear in the opposite wall. Bulma had yelled at him for wrecking another wall and told him she wouldn't fix his Gravity Machine for another month.

Vegeta just growled in annoyance. He had waited three months already; another month was nothing to him, especially when he considered that it was well worth it just to see the look on Roshi's face.

About two hours later, everyone had headed home leaving only Bulma, Chi-chi, Vegeta, Goku, and Sam.

"Can I stay with you 'Geta?" She asked, clasping her hands in front of her and giving him her best puppy-dog eyes. "I don't want to stay with strangers."

Vegeta was quite used to Goku doing this same thing whenever he wanted something, and unfortunately, when it came to 'the eyes', Vegeta had a definite weakness. He sighed and said, "Fine. You can stay with us."

"Yea!" She exclaimed, hopping up and down a few times.

Vegeta walked over to the front door, opened it, and stepped out, followed closely by Goku and Sam. Bulma and Chi-chi said their goodbyes and watched as the three took off into the darkening sky.

"What do you think about her?" Bulma asked Chi-chi as she closed the door and locked it.

"She's a little weird, but I think Goku might have some competition."

"What do you mean? They're bonded."

Chi-chi smirked, "I know, but did you see the way Vegeta was acting around her?"

"Vegeta does seem very protective of her."

"Yeah, it will be interesting to see what happens."

The trio arrived at a lovely house nestled in the midst of a large forest settled at the bottom of a mountain. The house had originally been where Goku had spent the majority of his childhood. When he had married Chi-chi, they had expanded it to accommodate their growing family. It now had three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a large, round room connected to the back that housed the gravity room, which Vegeta had brought with him when he had moved in.

Upon entering the house, May noticed that several pictures of Goku and his family were scattered around, but hardly any pictures of Vegeta seemed to exist. She thought this odd, until she spotted one picture settled in the center on the mantle above the fireplace. It was a picture of Goku, standing behind Vegeta, with his arms wrapped around a very nervous Vegeta as they stood beside a tree that looked to be in Capsule Corps yard. They were looking directly at the camera, and Goku had on a very happy smile, while Vegeta glared at the camera, daring it to take his picture.

"Kakarrot," Vegeta said, turning to his mate, "you show Sam around while I start on dinner."

"OK, 'Geta," Goku said as he watched Vegeta walk into the kitchen. "Come on, I'll show you where you'll be sleeping."

"All right," Sam said as she followed Goku down a small hall.

"That is the downstairs bathroom," he pointed to a slightly ajar door on the right side of the hall, "and that's the closet." They arrived at a set of stairs and began their way up, and as they approached the first door on the left, Goku opened it, and led Sam inside. "This is your room."

Sam saw that it was modestly decorated with only the essentials, a bed, a dresser, and a nightstand. Through one door was a closet and through another door on the other side of the room, was a bathroom.

"This is great," Sam said, looking around through everything. She then noticed the dresser and pouted, "But I don't have anything to put in there."

Goku thought for a minute before exclaiming, "I have an idea." Sam turned and regarded him with a quizzical expression as he said, "Tomorrow, we're going shopping."

Sam smiled and glomped him again while squealing, "Really? I can't wait."

"Dinners ready!" Vegeta called from downstairs.

Goku's eyes lit up and he half-dragged, half-carried Sam down the stairs and into the dining room. He took his seat and motioned for Sam to take hers while Vegeta carried out a large tray, filled to the brim with food. He set it on the table, which surprised Sam when it didn't creak under the weight, and sat down himself.

Sam had forgotten just how much a Saiyan could eat, but she soon dragged herself out of a stupor long enough to ensconce herself a meal. She ate a modest amount compared to the two full-blooded Saiyan's, and afterwards, they all sat back in contentment.

"Guess what 'Geta?" Sam said excitedly.

Vegeta looked at her with mild interest, "What?"

"Tomorrow, Goku said we're going shopping!" She exclaimed, smiling widely and looking over at Goku who was smiling at Vegeta.

Vegeta groaned, "I hate shopping."

"Oh, come on," Goku practically whined, "She needs some more clothes and besides, it'll be fun."

"I seriously doubt that," Vegeta sneered, but upon seeing the looks he was receiving, he decided that he could suffer through one day. "All right," he groaned, "I'll go."

"Yea!" Sam squealed, "We're gonna have so much fun."

"Yeah," Goku said, "It's getting late and we'd better get up a little early to beat the crowds."

"Ok," Sam relented, as the three stood and began making their way to their rooms, "Can I borrow something to sleep in?" She asked as she stood by the door to her new room.

"Sure you can, come on," Goku motioned for her to follow them to their own room.

As she stepped inside the room, she could smell the unmistakable scent of passion that seemed to permeate from every inch of the room. The bed, she noticed, was covered in black silk sheets and there was a dresser and a night stand in here as well. Goku stepped out of the closet with a pair of black pajama bottoms and an overly large shirt that Sam guessed belonged to Goku because it was far to big for Vegeta.

"Here ya go," Goku said, handing the clothing to Sam.

"Thanks," she said, "I'll see you guys in the morning," and with that, she returned to her room.

When she dressed, the shirt, she noticed, reached down to her mid-thigh, so she decided to just forget the bottoms. As she climbed into the bed, she realized that her life had changed for the better, and she would never have to be subjected to such humiliation ever again.

Goku curled up against Vegeta and began drifting off to sleep. Vegeta's mind, on the other hand, was still thinking about the days events. He never thought that he would ever see Sam again, but here she was, in a room near his, sleeping.

Goku was brought out of his almost slumber by the feelings being generated through the bond he shared with Vegeta. He got worried and asked, "What's wrong?"

This startled Vegeta for a moment, but then he looked down into the two chocolate orbs of his mate and all his worries disappeared. "Nothing," he said, and leaned down to capture those luscious lips in a delightful kiss.

A/N: Nothing much is happening yet, but just wait till Chapter 4, then things get a little hot . . . *hint* Full Moon *hint*
