Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Immortality and Death ❯ a walk in the past ( Chapter 7 )

Entering a dark void they came to the first of her memories, in the castle of Vegetasei long ago. A young Bulma ran down the halls of the caste causing mischief and mayhem where ever she went, though the entire palace still loved her none the less. Also they saw her many lonely times in her room. For she had now friends much like Vegeta when he was little. It is hard to be royalty for you cannot make friends with people your age for there are none around. This childhood memories however did not last for long and ended when Vegeta's ancestries stormed the castle forcing Bulma's parents to send her into the unknown area's of space.

Everything went back again until the landing on earth. As Bulma stared at her younger self she felt pity for what was about to become of the happy, lonely, and naive girl. Now having lived her life Bulma saw how insincere Gero had been that day. They watched the days she spent with him in fast pace until the came upon the incident with her tail. At that moment everything slowed down for a time she never wanted to relive this moment but she had to. Grabbing her tail she stroked it softly reassuring that I was not happening again.

Vegeta saw this and turned to her "what is wrong onna?"

Pointing to the scene in front of her as tears came out of her eyes she said nothing.

What Vegeta saw he could hardly believe his anger toward Gero grew to unknown bounds watching what he did. Not even Frieza had been that cruel in his beatings. Taking the now trembling Bulma into his arms he whispered quietly in her ear "it is over it is just a memory."

Bulma just muttered under her breath "he will pay, he will pay for all this pain he has done me."

The rest of the years with Gero passed fast again though there where many beatings. Towards the end Vegeta had to ask "why did you never run. You could have easily beaten him."

Taking a breath Bulma replied from with in his tight embrace "I did not know, I had never tested my strength he also said he was hiding his from me." Then angrily she said "Like a stupid child I believed him."

To calm her Vegeta just hugged her tight. The last of her days with Gero where under way, he watch in anticipation as the day came of Bulma's great gift.

That day was one Bulma could never block out when she saw it appear she could not help but mutter "stupid day what a fucking gift. I could not even end the pain grrr."

This day went by slowly for it was an important day in Bulma's life. Vegeta almost cheered for her when she left Gero. For he figured that had to be the worse of her life. Though he still wondered then where she had gotten the scares on her back for Gero had never beaten her back. He was soon to find out.

The city of Rome was so different the day she went there after leaving Gero then it was today. Little stood of the old city it made her happy to know that she had out lived them all. She still did wish to see what was left however in ruins. All of this brought a shiver down Bulma's spine as she snuggled closer to Vegeta's warm chest.

In a concerned tone Vegeta asked "What is wrong onna? The worst is over."

She gave him a look that said you have no clue then quietly spoke "You have no idea for what is to come next made me what you see today. Gero was evil but my short time with him had not left me all that heartless."

Vegeta looked a bit confused at this statement but decided he would find out what she meant soon enough. Fallowing her gaze Vegeta turned his attention back to the scenes in front of him. When he saw her capture he was shocked. He knew humans where not that strong.

"Onna why did you not escape them?"

Smiling a sad smile Bulma responded "because I had no power to do such. For you see copper a metal of earth takes away our powers. Granted I still had my mind powers put I was too shocked at not having my physical strength to use them. For I thought I was safe, humans should have posed me no threat. Not to mention Vegeta I was still naive I knew Gero was not nice but I though others could be trusted. Though it took me little time to find the falseness of that."

The years in the coliseum where relatively the same painful and unbearable to the point of insanity, the past them quickly for one year was the same as the last. Bulma during this time explained things to Vegeta things he did not understand on her actions or on what was occurring in terms of culture.

It was hard for Vegeta to watch these years of her life. He knew now that he had been right in the sad statement that Gero was nothing compared to these many years of her life. Well he watched them he gained a great respect for her because he was not even sure he could survive such a life. At last they came to an end for which Vegeta was great full because they where coming too hard for even him to watch. The beatings, the rape, the forced killing made him sick, angry, and a swirl of other emotions.

Bulma turned to Vegeta as her final days in the coliseum came. Seeing the anger and sickness as well as the other emotions in his eyes she tried to comfort him. In a soft voice she said to him as he held her ever tighter. "They are coming to an end. The years that are to come are not bad for me at all. Though they are lonely and grueling beyond belief I was safe at last."

In a said laugh she added as she saw herself take up her new life after the coliseum in Rome. "The assassin Bulma and dame I was good. I did it for longer then I can remember it was the only life that I could hide who I was, well still having a good life. So many times I wanted to say who I was but never could for during those years I was truly lonely. Always on the move never being able to trust anyone."

In truth Vegeta really loved watching these years of Bulma's life; they where very interesting and proved her to be a very smart onna. Though he did understand her loneliness during those years, it was like his own when working for Frieza purging.

As the last years of her life came about Bulma could not help but smile. For the years with the Briefs had been joy filled as well as meeting the love able guff Goku. However, when they came to the day she meet Frieza and Gero, she let out a low growl.

For a second Vegeta was surprised as to way. Then however he over heard the conversation that had gone on between Gero and herself for Bulma had it play in his mind. He also got to over her Frieza's comments and understanding there full meaning now he be came pissed. Vegeta was also mad at Gero but he would give him to Bulma for she deserved revenge on that bastured more then he did. For Gero had only hurt him through hurting Bulma.

Coming out of this dream world Bulma feel forward into Vegeta who caught her just as he woke up from the dream as well. For a second he was scared that something had happened to her so he shook her for a second till she woke up. Looking into his eyes she smiled.

"Vegeta do not worry I'm just a little tired. This has been very emotional for me not to mention how hard it is to do what I have just done to your mind."

Nodding in agreement Vegeta just set her down in his lap.

In a soft voice he said "Onna I would never hurt you no matter your past your power or anything. I will protect you to the very last. It is ok now nothing bad will happen to you again."

At that she looked up into his eyes as if to see the truth and what she saw there made her heart melt. He cared he truly cared no mater what he was there and protecting her. She snuggled closer into him and shivered with relief.

He started to stroke her back to calm her down. Then he placed a kiss on her four head and hugged her again. Vegeta never knew he could show so much emotion or had so much but he could not help it. His need to comfort this woman show her that she was loved and safe was beyond even the want to kill Frieza.

With the utmost caution he turned her eyes up to his and placed a light kiss on her lips. Soon after she kissed him back with more passion then he ever thought possible coming from one person. It was then he realized this woman with in his arms need love beyond all things so much like himself. She had never felt need or wanted for who and what she was she wanted acceptance and love. Vegeta knew he could give it to her, he just hoped she would have him. His past was so bad and he was at times such an evil person he could not even believe it.

Bulma reading this from his mind looked up into his eyes and decided to bare her sole to him "Vegeta I would love you no matter what you did in the past, for as you have seen I'm no more innocent then you."

This heart felt remark made Vegeta smile for the first time in his life. As he hugged Bulma yet again he whispered in her ear. "I love you to and thank you." He then gave her a very passion filled kiss.

For the longest time they just sat there comforting each other. Both for the first time in there life felt like they had found their place in life.

Bulma turned her head up to Vegeta's and said in a quite voice "Thank you."

At the Vegeta just kissed her softly and then said "I have something to show you."

Bulma nodded as Vegeta held her tight and flew back to the palace landing on a balcony high above the ground. He then let her down lightly. She started to look over at the wonderful view but then Vegeta grabbed her arm and lead her into the room. As her eyes got use to the light she looked around in shock.

This was her room. It was they way it looked the day she left minus the thick layer of dust. So overwhelmed by this she sank to her knees looking at Vegeta in question as he stood by the balcony.

Seeing the question in her eyes he replied quietly "There has never been a need to use this room during the Vegeta family ruling. So it was kept they way it was the day the Riyoko empire fell. When I saw it in your mind I had to bring you here."

To this Bulma did not respond she just continued to look around in amazement as memories of her early childhood flooded back to her. At last she got up and went over the dark wooded vanity mirror and sat down in her chair looking in the mirror. She could remember sitting there as a child. Carefully wiping the dust away from the mirror she looked at herself.

She had changed so much from those days. Although she did not look old the look in her eyes was enough to make some one cry. Bulma having lived more then a lifetime of pain had become someone her younger self would never have known. The happy child she was no longer. Now she hid secrets and buried pain deep with in herself.

Through out all of this Vegeta just watched her knowing there was nothing he could do. Seeing her sit down at her mirror he could not help but wonder what she was seeing or thinking. Bulma sensing this lead him into her mind and showed him. The things he saw made his heart break. For it seemed now she remember her full childhood she had lived it. He saw how she had changed so much from herself back then.

Feeling this overwhelming pain he went over to her and held her shoulders tight. Then he light placed a kiss on her lips and said quietly "You may move in here if you like."

To this she just nodded and turned around to look in his eyes. Just to reconfirm his love once she saw it she held on to him as if she where to die. Then using all of her strength she asked a question that truly hurt her pride "Vegeta my I stay with you tonight."

This statement shocked Vegeta but he was also made happy by it. In a compassion filled voice he responded, "Yes you may little one." Before picking her up and leaving her childhood room, for his own.

Once there he placed her on his large bed. His room was filled with many different shades of blue and red as well as so silver. The bed had nice red silk sheets on it which Bulma pulled down and crawled into. Vegeta fallowed shortly after and pulled her close to him.

He could feel her relax under his touch which relived him greatly. Turner her over to face him he lucked deep into her blue eyes. Vegeta knew at that moment that he loved her more then anything and he would stand by her no mater what. Taking a deep breath he decided to do something very rare of him, start a conversation.

"What are you thinking?" he asked in a concerned voice.

"How much my world has changed how much I have lost. The past however is the past. I must put it to rest and face the future. Frieza must not gain power for if he does the universe will be thrown in to chaos beyond imagination. Right now he is stoppable however if he gains my power he can have whatever he wants. For I'm strong and can protect myself but not strong enough to defeat him, you most do that. It is your destiny to become the best of our race."

In a very confident filled voice Vegeta stated something he truly did not feel. "I will and then I can protect you. There is no why you will ever go to that monster."

Looking into his eyes Bulma could tell he was unsure however it still helped. He was willing to protect her that was enough. At that moment she let down the guard to her heart and let Vegeta in. Slowly she swiped the back of her hand along his face then placed a small kiss upon his lips. "Thank you Vegeta."

Vegeta looked into her eyes when she said this and saw how she had lost the battle to protect her heart. So in the same way he let down the guard to his own and then placed a single thought in Bulma's mind. `I love you onna.'

This made Bulma shed a tear of joy which rain down her face and was wiped away by Vegeta. Who pulled her closer to him and kissed her with all the passion he felt in his heart and soul.

Wanting to repay the favor Bulma kissed him back well placing in his mind her own thoughts `I love you too Geta.' Then bearing her neck to him she placed another thought into his head. `You my take from me what it is I have to give, it has been both my gift and my curse.'

Not knowing what to do Vegeta looked into her sad blue eyes that looked like a calm dark lake. He then spoke not really liking the sharing of thoughts "Onna Bulma you do not have to give this to me. I just want your love nothing more."

Looking in Vegeta's pitch black eyes Bulma responded in a quite whisper as a tear rolled down cheek. "Vegeta I never wanted this gift. I never wanted to be immortal. I give this to you for I trust you with it." Taking a deep breath she continued "I do not wish to watch you die you have given my life a meaning a purpose once more. If I ever lost you I could not survive. Take this from me please I no longer want to be alone."

Taking her into a passion filled kiss Vegeta placed one last thought in her mind `I love you onna. Thank you.' He then bit down on her neck taking in her rich red blood as though it where life's force.

Again he flashed through Bulma's past only this time he felt her emotion throughout her life as well. What he felt made a tear come to his eye as he drew in the last of her once immortal blood. Immediately he felt the change his power was given new fuel and his mind was one with hers.

Once he regained his senses again he turned her head to his own so that he could look her in to her deep blue eyes. Then he placed a kiss on her soft lips and mouthed `Thank You.'

Laying her down on the bed he began to kiss every bit of her soft flesh as his tail went around her tiny waist. Her taste was on of honey and chocolate, she also smelled of the deepest ocean breeze. Running his fingers through her long blue hair he shuttered with desire. She was everything he wanted and more.

As he took her warm breast into his mouth he could hear her purr an ecstasy. At the same time he massaged the other till it was as hard as its brother. He then tasted it as his hand went behind her tiny back and lifted her to him.

Bulma just purred as unknown sensations rocked her tiny body. Her tail went around Vegeta's waist wanting him closer and a part of her. She could not remember when they had lost their clothing. Surely Vegeta had ripped it from them moments earlier.

Her small hands ran the length of his chest going over every muscle with care. Letting them rest on his back as her body began to shutter with anticipation. When he slipped two of his fingers into her she bucked against him hard, matching the rhythm of them until she burst from pleasure.

Vegeta now knew she was ready. He positioned himself over her small entrance and looked into her deep blue eyes. In them he saw anticipation and fear; he wondered where the fear came from until he remembered she had never made love before. For in the past she had been forced her body had never responded this way before. Sex to her before this had been painful and a punishment.

To comfort her fears he spoke softly to her. "Onna I would never hurt you, trust me."

Bulma just nodded to this. For as much as she wanted him she feared what he would do because in the past it has always been shameful and hurtful to her.

Sliding into her with swiftly Vegeta waited for her to relax beneath him. Once she was calm she bucked her hips against his own, he then began. At first it was slow but his pace became fast as she pushed him on. Eventually the both hit their peak and clung to each other until it passed.

Drawing out of her he rolled of and then pulled her small form next to his own. They then both entered a deep restful sleep do to the events of the day that had been very taxing on them both.
