Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Immortality and Death ❯ tears ( Chapter 9 )

Hey all thanks for the wonderful reviews. I hope that everyone had a happy valentines day even if it is not my most fav holiday. So here for you is my Valentines day present to you all a nice long chp.

Power began to radiate from Vegeta's body as Bulma slowly pulled it out. He could feel himself coming into power levels he had never dreamed of before. Closing his eyes he tried to focus on where it came from. But, he could not find the source.

Opening them again he focused on Bulma's beautiful form as her small hand lay on his broad chest pulling out his power. As beads of sweet began to form on her borrow she opened her eyes. They looked distant and pain, though Vegeta could not guess from what. He was startled even more when she let out a last scream and a great power erupted from him. Engulfing him with in a golden light, it was then he knew he had reached his goal.

So entranced was he by this power that he got up and did not notice Bulma fall down in exhaustion. For about 10min all he could do was go through a few katas at light speed reveling in his power. It was not until he finished one of his most difficult that he looked at Bulma.

She was slowly sitting up after falling; there was a weak smile on her face as she looked at him with his new found power. It had taken more out of her then she would have liked to get it out, for it was buried so deep with in him. But, after much strain she had managed to get to it. Only to find it was part of Vegeta's soul which made it so hard to release. For he guarded himself from the outside world as much as she did, luckily she had much training with this and was able to crack his barriers.

The only problem was this was in her mind and she had helped him. Would Vegeta be able to release this power in real life was very uncertain. But, at least now he knew he had it and would never question if it was possible again.

Seeing the tired woman Vegeta felt a twinge of pain know that he was the cause. Slowly he walked over to her side and sat beside her. Giving her a light kiss on the lips he mumbled `thank you.'

To this she just smiled before talking. "It was no problem, both your physical and mental body where ready for the power. All that was need was a trigger to release it from with in you."

Taking a breath Bulma continued knowing what she would say next might not go over well with the prince. "But, you most remember this is only with in your spirit body. I cannot help you release the power with in you in real body. This is only meant to show you the power that you have inside." Looking into his eyes she added. "Vegeta you must let down the guard on your soul. It took more mental power then I have used in a 100 years to get past your guard. I know you want to not show feeling and emotion, and I can not blame you for I have done the same and still do. However, Vegeta this great power is only release through emotion and feeling. I was able to draw it out without here but this is not reality."

Vegeta was shocked by this he refused to believe that this power was caused by emotion. It did not feel like it, the woman most be lying he would never bare his emotions minus anger and hate. Angrily he turned away from her and flew towards the cages of thoughts. He would show her, the saiyan prince did not want to show emotions, last night had been a one time deal. No more, he cared for her but he would not show it again. As for anyone else he would never show his weaknesses to them.

Flying to the one that she said contained her most hard feelings and emotions. He knew what he was going to do, release it that's what. Though in the back of his mind he knew it was wrong to do this in someone else mind he could not help it. Vegeta was mad at her for asking such things of him. Even if her reason was total logical he did not care. Emotions where not his friend minus anger which was what he felt know. And when the saiyan prince was angry all hell broke loss.

Watching in horror as Vegeta speed toward the clear glass cage that held all of her greatest pain and emotion, intent on opening it. Bulma could only scream out in mental horror, how could he do this to her. She though he cared but he was about to do something that would cause her more pain then he could ever imagine. For with in that raging cloud mass of emotion was more the Vegeta could imagine. It was not only the place where her most painful emotions went it was also where all those whom she had cause pain and who had caused her pain had gone. Granted they where all dead but their spirits where a live and well in her mind.

Quickly through tear filled eyes she tried to put up anything that might block him. She released all over her other thoughts and focused on keeping the glass strong and putting anything she could think of in his way. Vegeta however just went threw them all with out a thought.

Bulma's last thoughts as she heard the glass break where of why. Why had she trusted him? Why had she not powered up along with him knowing his reaction would be bad? Why did he not get what this would do?

Breaking the glass with a fist, Vegeta felt his anger release. Standing here he tried to recount what he had done and why. Just as he realized what he had done he heard the most blood ranching scream he had ever heard. It was then he noticed the dark cloudy sky and the chose that was everywhere in the once bright and organized place.

Things began to attack him as he stood there, people from her past emotions which had taken form. Slowly the most over welling emotion of all went into Vegeta it was one of loneliness and despair, an emotion he knew well. However, Bulma's emotion greater and more powerful, and with it came flashes of memory that had caused it.

These memories Vegeta had already seen before, but now he felt everything she did upon seeing them in real life. One of the saddest of all was when Bulma out of boredom decided to track a family's life over the years.

He saw them as she did, unknowingly becoming attached to them over time. She even dared to interact with them on occasion and was a friend of the family for over 10yrs. However, eventually she had to leave to hide her identity but, she still watched them close. As the once young children she had watched grew older, getting married, having families of their own. Losing kids to disease and husbands to other women, that she watched in silent wanting to go and comfort them. to help. Even sadder was watching the first couple die, they where the ones she had first decided to fallow along with their children.

These two she had befriended early in their marriage before their kids. 15 yrs later the husband died leaving the woman with 3 kids from 10-13. She had to marry them off early because she could not support them. Thought it broke her heart for when they married they went far from home never to be seen by her again. First she lost her husband then slowly all of her kids. But, still she lived on for over 50 more years all on her own becoming one of the oldest women in the country. All of this Bulma watched and it saddened her on many levels. She had never known love, she would not grow old and die, but she could watch others do so.

Coming out of this painful memory Vegeta understood a little bit more of how hard it was for her to be immortal. Not only did she have a hard life but she had to watch and see things that pained her very soul. Seeing many memories like this he understood why these thoughts and emotions had been stored away. They caused enough pain to make you want to die, yet she could not.

After a long struggle with this emotion he finally got it out of him. He then looked for Bulma, he found her where he had left her. Though he could barely recognize her, for her clothing was ripped beyond recognition and her hair was bloody and mess. Spirits and emotions where attacking her at ever turn. He wanted to run and help but he found himself restrained by a memory as well.

As he struggled to get away from the grasp of the guard who had worked at the Coliseum and beating Bulma he felt his power drain. It was then he remember what copper could do and feeling up to his neck he realized he had on a collar of copper put on by the guard well he was in though. That was why he had to struggle with the weak earthling.

He screamed in frustration as the man began to beat him with a whip and he could do nothing. Looking to where Bulma sat curled in a ball he saw her look up with red tear stained eyes. For a moment he did not notice the pain on his back as he read the pain in her eyes. She felt betrayed, hurt, and angry. In all truth Vegeta could not blame her, he wanted to go and beg for forgiveness but he could not.

Not wanting to break the eye contact he bared all his emotions to her. Once he did a lone tear ran down her eye taking blood of her cheek along the way. It was so beautiful and painful at the same time that Vegeta was memorized. Until a hard blow from the whip hit his back tearing trough his flesh, this caused him to scream out and close his eyes.

Bulma then screamed in frustration and with all her might she fought to get Vegeta out of her mind. If he stayed her he would die, for his beating was killing him. And though he did not know it he could die in this world, where as it would just drive Bulma to the state of mental break down and lose.

With all her might she concentrated the mental power the she still controlled at Vegeta. This broke down all protection to herself and opened the cages to the few things that had not been let out like her scientific mind, it would do little in terms of harm but it was one more thing to fix.

Vegeta just stared at her in surprise as she screamed and he saw a light gather around him as he slowly left her mind. He could see that to do this she had let down all protection to herself and spirits and emotions where walking through her and beating her even more. Why was she letting him get out he had caused this, maybe he could help. A tear ran down his eye as he felt himself return to his own body. Though not before he got one last though from Bulma `you can die here, please win against Frieza and Gero if I cannot make it out. I love you.'

Opening his eyes he looked at her sweat drench pale form lying on the bed. Reaching out to touch it he realized it was as cold as ice. Pulling her in to his arms he felt a tear run down his cheek. "I'm sorry little one, I'm so sorry."

He then tried to reach into her mind, though he did not have great telepathic communication he figured he mind might reach hers through the bond. All he found was a dark wall blocking him from her thoughts. Vegeta's mind cried and agony `what had he done. She had trusted him and he threw it in her face. Now she was fighting a battle of sanity that was stacked heavily against her.

Leaving her mental wall behind he turned to look at her again praying silently that she would make it out.
