Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Immortality and Death ❯ a past ( Chapter 5 )

Bulma could not help but look fearfully to Vegeta she knew she could not get away with telling him nothing but she could not tell him everything. She was fearful of just how much he would push to find out before he was satisfied for the time being. Eventually Bulma knew that he would have to know ever thing but right now was not the time. Vegeta could not take the knowledge of her past and her power right now.

"Onna you will tell me the meaning of this. How is it that you know Gero? What is he to you? And what is he doing with Frieza?" Vegeta said in a very angry and ordering voice.

"I'm an old student of his. I ran away from him years ago. He has been the cause of more pain in my life then you could ever imagine. As for his business with Frieza well I can tell you this it is not good and it will hurt this planet." Bulma said in as emotionless a voice as possible.

"What the hell is that suppose to mean onna. How can he be a teacher from as the way you imply it years ago for you can be no more then 18 years of age. Along the same lines how old are you?" Vegeta said in a more calmed voice.

Although Bulma knew she could lie about this question she had the feeling that Vegeta would be able to tell if she lied total. So in a very calm voice she replied "It means I'm an old student of Gero's. As for my age I'm 16 genetically but otherwise well I'm not."

"All you do onna is confuse me. For now I will accept this answer in regardless to my previous questions but I will know the whole of it and soon. Another question I have for you onna is what was all of that you are with your people shit." Vegeta said as calmly as he could.

In an assertive voice Bulma responded to the angry yet apparently emotionless saiyan prince. "I do not pray in to your past so do not pray into mine. The things I keep secret are for the good of all concerned for things with in my past will have an effect on more then just your desire to know everything. Also I know you will not settle for this answer however for now it is all I can give you. As cryptic as it maybe it is more then most know about me."

Vegeta was a little shocked by her answer it was apparent now that what she was hiding was more then just a simple thing. It was something that was very important and he would be dammed if he did not know what it was. "You will tell me now onna or I will torture you beyond anything you could ever imagine." He said in a very evil voice. Although deep with in his sole he knew he would never harm her in any great way.

Truth be told he was starting to like this woman after fallowing her around and watching her work seeing her temper. There was just something about her that he liked. What he was unsure but he knew he would never hurt her.

In a very mellow and almost pained voice Bulma responded. "I will not tell you no matter what you do to me. There is no torture you can put me through that I have not already lived through. Be assured that I will tell you in time some of the secrets of my past however if you torture me all bets are off. Now what I'm going to tell you next I hope will settle any fears you may have about my not being on your side. For I am on your side no matter what you do to me. Frieza is an evil tyrant who needs to be brought down. Though you are no saint the universe would better with under your control. That is way I'm here to help you for you are the only one who has the power to beat Freiza you just have not discovered it yet."

Vegeta was most shocked by this answer. For in her voice he heard a pain the mirrored his own if not worse. He almost wanted to take her in his arms and sooth away whatever pain she had had in her life. His pride however prevented this from occurring.

"Onna it was only a threat I would never torture you. Also I'm very happy to have you on your side." He said in a very compassionate voice though so quietly that a human would not have been able to hear him. Lucky for Bulma she was a saiyan and wait he said touched her very much.

Before she could responded however Vegeta was gone. Leaving a very confused Bulma for although what he said had touched her she wondered what it meant. No one in Bulma's life had every said anything like that to her and especial no one like the prince. Deep in her long for gotten sole she was sure she knew the answer he liked her. Her logical mind however would not let it register for she had people who cared for her put never anyone who liked her for who she was despite her secrets.

As she wandered back to here room in a daze she did not notice a personal fallowing her. For Vegeta although running off had not gone very far away. This woman attracted him in some way, and he was determined to find out why. He also felt this need to protect her. For her omissions to being tortured had a great effect on Vegeta and he felt compelled to assure that nothing ever happened to her again.

He watched her all the way until she got to her room. Feeling that she would be safe in there he left to go and train. Vegeta need to work of all the stress this day had caused him and training was the only way. His mind also needed a brake from thinking about Bulma and how lovely she was. No matter what she wore she always seemed a goddess to him. Even today when she was wearing nothing more then her lab jacket and faded jeans she seemed like a goddess.

Meaning will in the space around Vegetasei Gero and Freiza where planning there attack on the saiyans. For Freiza had always intended to dispose of them for they where very annoying he just had not done so until know. The main reason he disliked them was because of the power that they had. They in the end where the only ones who could possible be a threat to Freiza taking over the universe so he needed them gone. An added bonus was this girl `Bulma' who could give him temporary immortality which would be great in his quest to rule all.

Gero and he planned on putting copper into her blood stream in order to weaken her so that she would not be a threat. For although she could not beat Freiza she could beat up Gero and immortal or not they just did not want to deal with the feisty saiyan. That was until she had served her purpose of giving her immortality to Frieza then he would just make her into another slave for himself.

The plan was to return about a month from today and carry out their plan. That way nothing would be suspect of their returning and they could get the girl leave and blow the planet to kingdom come.

A week went by in which Vegeta and Bulma said little to each other. Vegeta did not want to pressure Bulma about her past despite how much he wanted to know. Bulma did not wan to tell anyone just yet though she found that deep with in her sole she really did want to tell Vegeta.

Why was beyond her. It might have been for the comfort and protection he would offer or the understanding having gone through many bad things under his years of training with Freiza. For when she had searched his mind when first coming to Vegetasei she had seen the horrible things done to him by Freiza. Then when Freiza came here she read his mind and saw that he was still lusting after the prince in every sadistic way possible. Though she also saw his new obsession which was her or more or less the power he hoped to get from here.

Eventually however the two did run upon each other. Bulma had been having a very hard time trying to decide what she should do. Though working on her inventions for Vegetasei had kept her distracted for a time it seemed that she could not get over what Gero had said. For that matter she could not get over seeing him in the first place. In some why she had managed to believe that he was not real and stopped thing about him for so long despite her want for revenge on the man she knew it could not be done.

All of this had been going through Bulma's mind when as she want to eat dinner with Goku, Vegeta and Chi-Chi which had become a regular thing of recent. Mainly because Chi Chi's cooking was the best and Bulma knew that she would most likely die if she keep eating her own food. So Chi Chi came up with the idea since all wanted her to cook for them that they should all just eat together. During these meals Bulma could not help but to notice Goku and his crush on Chi Chi it was one bright thing in her life. Though eating with the prince was really not a fun affair in the end. That was mostly due to the lack of conversation between the two and Chi can Goku where so into each other they did not really notice the others.

It was a little over a week sense the Freiza incident and they had just gotten done eating. With all these thoughts going through her mind Bulma found it hard to eat much at all. After picking at her food she asked herself to be dismissed and went to the gardens of the palace which where truly beautiful.

As of late this had become one of her favorite places she would sit by the small pond on the edge of the garden and think about everything. Once she had sat down in her normal place she looked into the water of the pond. It was a striking blue much like her eyes and hair, in a vague way she wondered if this pond had been here when she was little. Sense being on Vegetasei she had recovered many memories of her past. She wished with all her heart that she had not had to leave. Then she would not be there today on the edge of tears, rather she would be dead having lived what would have most likely have been a wonderful life.

In the end she could not hold back the tears thinking of all of these so for the first time in over 100yrs Bulma cried like she had not in years. It was a release from all the pain the anger and hate. She was crying so hard that she did not notice Vegeta come up behind her and sit by her side. Once she did she looked into his eyes hoping to find understanding. It was in that moment she knew she had to tell him. Now would be the best time for if she waited much longer it would be too late. Freiza would be here soon and he needed to know why he wanted her and why he had said the things he did.

Vegeta had noticed through out dinner Bulma barely touching her meal. It had worried him what was troubling the lovely blue haired scientist. After she had excused herself he could not help but fallow her out of worry and questioning as into what bothered her.

He fallowed her all the way to the pond on the edge the garden and watched. As she started at her reflection in the water, her hair that went all the way to her waist flowed of her back. Reveling her back that to his shock contained many scares, he could not help but wonder where they had come from and who had the done such a thing to her wonderful body. It saddened him that he had not noticed them until know but she had never up until today worn anything that showed her back. On this occasion though she had worn a long blue dress with high slits no back and a water fall front, the blue was darker then that of the night sky but still blue it went perfectly with her hair and eyes. On first seeing her in the dress Vegeta could not help but stare and be pleased with how perfect she was.

Now as he looked at her back he felt anger like he never had before. Why someone would hurt this beautiful and delicate creature was beyond him. Though he did know one thing he wanted to hurt who ever had done such a thing to her. When she started to cry he was torn between leaving her alone and going to comfort her which he had never done for anyone else before.

In the end he decided to comfort her in the vain hope that she would also tell him something about her past as well as what was troubling her so much. Vegeta knew in away it was too much to ask but could not help but try, besides the urge to comfort her was too great for him to ignore.

Placing himself beside the Bulma he looked over to her face. It took her awhile to notice him and to look up but when she did he had the chance to look into her blue eyes and what he say there was more pain then he could ever dream of. In all his years of killing under Freiza he had never seen such a look of raw pain and anger.

Carefully he placed a hand on her back tracing one of her scars. It was then that he could not help but ask what had caused them. "Onna who has done this to you?" he said in a concerned tone.

This tone did not go unnoticed by Bulma who was touched by it. Few man had seen her scars but those who had where repulsed and would look at her with disgust. Now for the first time some one was showing concern and looking as though the scars mater not at all only who and wait had caused them.

At first she was hesitant to respond but in the end she decided to answer as best she could. "I got them a very long time ago. In a land far from here at a place that is so old no one knows what its true purpose was."

Vegeta did not know how to respond to this. For he could not fathom what she meant when she said a place so old that no one knows it purpose. How could a place he that old if she was only 16. He wanted to ask more but was hesitant to do so. Instead he pulled her into him and she in turn but put her head in the crock of his next continuing to cry.

"Onna what is troubling you so to cry, I have never seen you do so before." He said decided to change subjects well sort of.

"Yes, I guess it would be odd to see me cry. There is only one person still alive today who has seen my tears." She said in a quite voice. It was then that she decided that she must tell the prince something the burden was to great some one need to know.

"Vegeta as you know I had many secrets, I do not know why but I feel I can tell. Though you must promise not to take any action as of now regarding any of these secrets. I know some of them will shock you beyond belief but they are true and I will prove it to you." In the same quite voice.

"I will keep secret everything you tell me this night, but do not feel pressured to do so I know you will in time." He said in a voice that contained much sincerity as well as a little interest and excitement.

"As much as I would like to keep secret from you my past, I feel I no longer can. For I trust and like you unlike anyone else I have ever met."

"I like you to onna" said Vegeta in a passion filled voice before kissing her.

For both the kiss was passion filled. It sparked feelings inside the two that they had long that dead. As it continued each became needier for the other. In the end however it was broken off as the two came up for air. Vegeta went to kiss her again but before he could Bulma stopped him.

"This can go no further until you hear my story for it might greatly affect your opinion of me."

"Onna I do not think anything could affect my feelings for you."

"We shell see Vegeta we shell see." Said Bulma in a said voice.

Gently pulling away from Vegeta. Bulma stood up and concentrated with all her might she made her tail come out of her body. It felt good to have it out in the warm air of Vegetasei. Then in a hesitant voice Bulma said "The first thing you most know about be is the fact they I'm saiyan and more then that I'm a saiyan princess."

This knowledge shocked Vegeta so much that he looked like a deer about to be run over by a car. The thoughts that went through his head where so many that he could only process a few of them, she was saiyan. Then there was the question of how and the princess business was too much for him to take. That info was more then he could even say. One thing that did surprise him was one of his own thoughts of the fact that she was saiyan they could mate. Why he thought this was beyond him but the idea very much pleased him.

After this initial shock he finally managed to ask "How can this be there are no saiyans of color they died out with the fall of the Riyoko kingdom over 2,000 years ago." The look she gave him after he said this was one like I know think about it.

"I know that because I was there at the fall of the Riyoko kingdom. My parents saved me by sending into space they where the king and queen of the Riyoko kingdom." Said Bulma regretfully "I remember little of them for I was only 6 at the time I left. I lost most of my memory when I crashed however and it has only been coming back in small bits and pieces sense being here."

In a disbelieving voice Vegeta asked "How can that be you would be over 2,000 yrs old and you yourself said that you where 16."

"Actually Vegeta I said that I was genetically 16 not that I actually was."

"Ok what does that mean?"

Sitting back down on the ground she looked to Vegeta sense saying all of these she had not looked into his eyes. What she saw there was questioning more then anything else though she did she a little hate for what she was unsure but it made her shiver for a second.

This shiver did not go unnoticed by Vegeta who pulled Bulma over to him and hugged her tight and placed a kiss on her forehead. Then in a very assuring voice he said "My feelings are still the same as they where before do not fear. Now answer my question."

"Vegeta it means I'm immortal, I can not die well I can now but it is hard to explain."

This yet again shocked Vegeta he found it hard to believe, actually he did not believe it at all although it was the only explanation that made sense.

Bulma seen his disbelief decided it was time for proof. So she formed a small ki blast and shot it into her heart. Vegeta looked at her in shock and half crying said "Why the fuck did you do that. You can not fucking die on me now onna."

Just before she completely died she whispered in his ear "Do not worry I will be back the only thing I will hate is the scare this will leave not to mention the pain."

He started to cry as he felt her body die but about a minute after she opened her eyes with shock and was alive again. Vegeta was sure she had been dead so seen her alive made him swallow all his disbelief and pulled her tighter. Then whisper in her ear "Do not ever do that again onna."

She nodded again and placed her head in the crock of his shoulder looking into his eyes. What she saw in them made her hearth melt there was love and concern in its rawest form and it made her happier then she had been in years.

"Now little one how did you become upon this immortality of yours I'm assuming you where not born with it."

She nodded her head saying `yes she was not born with these' then responded bitterly "Gero or as he calls himself now Dr. Gero is the cause of what I am."

As she looked into Vegeta's cold black eyes she knew what she could not explain everything the way it need to be explained. Bulma had to show him, so taking a deep breath she asked him or rather told him "I will show you if you let me."

He nodded yes and then she placed her hands on ether side of his head after crawling out of his embrace reluctantly.

Then using her telepathic powers she showed him her past all of it. She decided that instead of letting him live it she would guide him through it. For she also knew she need to release some of her memories if she ever wished too truly move on.
