Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Nobility ❯ Chapter four ( Chapter 4 )

AN : Thanks once again for the nice reviews. Here is chapter four. Enjoy!

Bulma woke up at dawn to the singing of birds. ' Finally, a sunny day! And on the day of my marriage! How lucky am I?' Bulma gloomily wondered . She had slept a restless sleep trying to find a way out of this mess.

' I won't marry him and it's final. No one can force me to. After all, I do have to say yes at the marriage ceremony.'

Feeling a bit relieved, Bulma began to dress up. ' I will not wear a dress. Vegeta can't do anything to me. We are not married,' she silently repeated to herself to calm her nerves. She put on her combat clothes but could not help to slowly advance towards the kitchen prepared to any eventuality.

'As long as Vegeta does not see me , I do not risk anything-do I?'

" HI BULMA!" a familiar face shouted.

Bulma jumped into the air and realizing that it was only the grinning Goku, she screamed at him,

"Stop doing that. One of these days, I'm going to have a heart attack and it will be all your fault!"

"I'm sorry, milady. I did not want to scare you. I just though that you needed to be cheered up. You seem sad and scared," Goku said. He suddenly changed his composure for a more protective one, " Lord Vegeta did not hurt you-did he?"

Bulma though about telling the truth but quickly changed her mind. ' I want to try to stay in good terms with Vegeta. Maybe he will be more flexible to my demands if he is satisfied with my attitude. I do not think he would be very happy if Goku tried to break his nose.'

" No, he didn't Goku. You do not have anything to get worried about. Just go see Chi-Chi. I am sure she has a delicious breakfast ready just for you."

Goku, realizing he had both the chance of eating and seeing Chi-Chi, quickly scurried off smiling like an idiot.

' I always knew they had a crush on each other. I will have to think about setting them on a date.'

Bulma entered the kitchen, and took an apple without being noticed since Chi-Chi and Goku were too engrossed with each other.

As she was going towards the training room, she met Krillan who told her that Vegeta was presently out and should be back in a few hours.

' Good, that gives me some time for training. Then I will get change and propose my deal to him.'

She entered the room and began her flexibility exercises going into very complicated positions. The gymnastics movement always calmed her. She did this for almost and hour and then began her martial arts routine. Goku joined her and they executed the moves precisely together.

" You are getting better with each passing day milady. I think you need someone who may train you more seriously than I am," Goku said.

"We will see about that Goku. For the moment, I am perfectly content with you as my teacher. You are dismissed for the day. I have things to do."

Goku exited followed by Bulma who went to her room to get changed in a beautiful ivory dress going down to her feet.

' I do not look so bad but this is so uncomfortable,' she stated.

She then went to the library and chose to read a book that talked about the new sciences while waiting for the return of Vegeta.

…………………& hellip;

" Wake up, wench!"

Bulma jumped slightly to be met with two obsidian eyes. ' I guess I fell asleep while reading the book,' Bulma realized.

" I am up, you jerk. Don't you know how to properly wake a lady?" she angrily asked.

" Of course I do. But I do not see any lady here," he whispered while smirking.

' Kami, he looks sexy! What am I thinking, this barbaric man is not sexy! Let's get back to the important topic,' Bulma reasoned.

Summoning all of her courage she said, " Look Vegeta, I think you see that we are not fit to be together. You clearly do not want to get married to a woman as adventurous and rebellious as me. So I thought about it and well, I could get out of your way and work for my living. The only thing you would have to do , is tell my father that we are happily married."

Vegeta narrowed his eyes and cornered Bulma between him and the window.

" As I said yesterday, the prospect of this marriage did not please me at first, but you are mine now and the ceremony of marriage will show it to the world. Also, I am a man of honor and I promised to your father that I would marry you. The whole Irish nobility will assist to our marriage and I do not wish to be ridiculed because my wife abandoned me on the altar. Now go and prepare yourself. Your maid is waiting for you," Vegeta added as he quickly got out of the library.

' And there goes my plan,' Bulma thought. 'I can't even say no at the ceremony. It would make a scandal!'

Bulma mindlessly walked to her room and Chi-Chi undressed her and guided her to her bath. Bulma then put on the marriage dress and the jewels.

" Milady, you are magnificent. Stop pouting and look at yourself."

Bulma looked at her reflection. The dress was beautiful. It was made of white silk and silver treads. It was very form fitting until the waist and at that point it opened to become larger and larger to forkm a pool at her feet. The jewelry was also a sight by itself. She wore and diamond tiara on top of her curly locks and a diamond necklace and bracelet.

' All that is missing is the ring,' Bulma thought.

Goku then arrived and told her that it was time to go to church. The rest of the trip was a blur to her : some voices, the alley that lead to the altar, the people that dreamily looked at her as if she was the luckiest girl on the planet, Vegeta's frown.

She suddenly was pulled back to reality by a knock in her ribs. The priest choked and Bulma understood that they were waiting for her response.

"Yes I do," she weakly said.

The priest then asked the fatal question to Vegeta who very confidently responded , " Of course I do, that is why am here, now get this thing over with."

Bulma blushed, feeling ashamed of Vegeta's attitude. But no one said anything as if they were not surprised of such a scene from him.

Vegeta then slipped the diamond ring to her finger and she did the same to him.

" You may kiss the bride," the priest happily said.

Bulma trembled and Vegeta smirked as he pulled in her arms, giving her a light kiss that made electricity jolt through her body. He ran his hands on her sides. He then took her hand and they walked pass the cheering crowd towards their carriage.

The trip back home was silent since neither of them desired to speak. As soon as they got to the castle, a crowd began cheering for the newly married and the festivities continued until very late at night.

' It seems that Vegeta is very appreciated around here,' Bulma thought.

Around midnight, she excused herself and went to bed since she was so tired. She changed into her nightgown and went off to sleep after making sure her door was locked.
