Chapter 15 - Realisations

Bulma lay in her bed, trying to work out what time of day it was. She knew her scouter had a clock, but somehow she didn't have the energy to reach for it, yet she felt so jazzed her brain wouldn't relax.

“That was…different…and amazing” she breathed, and rolled over and inhaled his scent left on the pillow. Her mind could not get over what had just occurred, on one level she was ashamed of herself for such lowly and forward behaviour, and with such a fellow! But on another level, she wanted him again, it wasn't the act itself that she craved, it was the electrcity, the danger and the passion that had coarsed between them. She felt guilt towards Yamcha, but somehow he felt so distant it didn't matter to her.

`Do I love him?' she asked herself. `Who is `him'? Yamcha or Vegeta?' `Vegeta, you fool' `What about your boyfriend, Yamcha?' `Like I'll ever see him again' `And if you do' `Well, I love Vegeta now, do you think he will understand?' `You LOVE Vegeta?! Where did that come from? And no, somehow I don't think Yamcha will understand…' Bulma stopped herself arguing in her mind, it just didn't seem healthy.

She stood out of bed, and tossed on some clothes, somehow they felt softer on her skin in these hours than ever before. She stretched and gave satisfied yawn. She grabbed an old rag and tied it around her neck, to hide the scar. She walked out into the corridor, expecting to see everything still in chaos, but everything had reverted to normal. There was no trace of the battle wounds, no bodies and it even smelt better than before.

"How long was I asleep?" she wondered aloud and paced about, in the general direction of Fureizas hall. The ship suddenly gave a lurch and then it ceased it rumbling that Bulma had grown accustomed to. Everything felt still. A random creature walked past, so Bulma turned to it and scanned it with her scanner. Talorik-jin. Fuur. 1032.

"Fuur?" she asked, and he looked around shocked she had known his name.

"What, onna? I'm in hurry" he moaned.

"Have we landed, tell me. Where are we now?" she pestered, following him and he started walking down the hall again. He sighed and turned to her and regarded her in a patronising glare.

"Fureiza 79. Don't you know anything?" he snapped before rushing off, leaving her to follow as best she could. She suddenly felt a breeze against her face, and tears sprang to her eyes. The air was fresh and cold, it was such a relief.

She followed the others outside and stood by herself, looking around, as the others stood in groups or by themselves. Bulma looked around at the planet, the sky was dark and the buildings were big and white. The reminded her of Fureiza. 'Egostical fool' she thought.

She suddenly saw Vegeta standing with Nappa and Raditzu not too far from where she was, but decided it would be a stupendously bad idea for her to over to him and say "Hey Veggie, remember what we did about 2 hours ago? Oh yeah, that was great" she figured she would get as far as saying "Hey Veggie-" before she got slaughtered, and she would not end like that.

She was beginning to doubt that she would ever be with Vegeta like that again, most likely a one off she thought. 'Maybe I'll never see him again...' she wondered sadly.

Fureiza then said some things, but Bulma was too deep in thought to listen, even though she knew she should be. Next thing she knew she was being herded back onto the ship and Vegeta was still standing on the planet, she turned around and gave him a glance. He looked away, which made Bulma smile.'..he must have been looking at me..'.

She ducked and dodged getting trampled on, and bent to the ground. Some stopped to watch what she was about to do, she scooped a handful of soil into her hand and closed it tightly, she turned and gave Vegeta a last smile and disappered into the ship.
