Chapter 9

Vegeta landed on Bulma's balcony, he peered thru the sheer white curtains that were hung on the french doors but was unable to see if she was in her bedroom. He pushed open the doors and walked in. When he saw the bed a small gasp left his mouth and his eyes went wide in horror. There in front of him was Bulma's king size bed covered in blood.

"I hope it is not her blood." prayed Vegeta as he felt tears well up in his eyes. He was going to be strong. If not for her but for his pride.

Vegeta slowly makes his way to the bed; he notes that her clothes are ripped and scattered all over the floor around the bed. His once sparkling dark eyes turned and so dark they looked dead, with his heightened saiyan sense of smell he could tell it was her blood. He frowns at the thought that someone would come and hurt something that was his, even if she doesn't know that she is his yet. He squeezes his eyes shut and concentrates on her ki; there in the living room it is weaker than usual. He just busts through her bedroom door and flies down the steps to the living room. Before he can go more than a few feet into the room.

There she was in front of him naked on her stomach scratched up, bruised and violated. He bent down to check and see if she had any broken bones; years of purging planets had taught him how to tell if any bones were broken. He took note that she at least 6 ribs broken, that had more than likely punctured her lungs, that was why she was making a wheezing sound and gasping for breathe, Her left wrist and right upper thigh were also broken.

Bulma had nearly a dozen scratches down her back; they ranged from an inch to six inches long. Above her right eye was busted as was her mouth in a couple of places and her nose was broke. She had a bruise that nearly covered the whole right side of her face. Vegeta gently rolled her over onto her back and was shocked to see the bite marks all over her breasts, shoulders and neck. When he picked her up she started whimpering.

"Shhh woman I will not hurt you I am going to take you to get help." whispered Vegeta as he held his woman to his chest.

She immediately quieted down and snuggled into his chest for warmth and instinctively he held her tighter. He walked out of Capsule Corps. With his precious cargo and took to the air to Kakarotts. His harpy of a mate would know how to fix his woman. He felt something warm sliding down his face his, he bent his head down and wiped his face with his blood covered hand, he looked to see what it was? A tear, he is crying for his woman. Vegeta flew as fast as he thought her delicate body could handle. He could never remember seeing Bulma this child like or vulnerable as she is now in his arms. She has the spirit of a saiyan; he loved to pick fights with her just to see her eyes sparkle with anger. He would give anything to see them like that now.

"I was too late, I am sorry woman." as tears fell from his chiseled face" I promise you I will kill who ever did this to you."

~The Sons House~

Goku, Gohan, Piccolo, and ChiChi had just sat down to eat breakfast. ChiChi's face was flushed from being over the stove so long from having to make so much food to feed her two saiyan men.

"I wonder how Bulma is. I think I will go over there today and surprise her and see if she wants to go shopping." her brightened at the thought of being away from her saiyan men for awhile and getting to do something for herself.

"That's a good idea ChiChi. She does seem to be depressed since Vegeta left." stated Goku as he smiled at his wife.

Gohan don't stuff your mouth so full you are going to choke if you are not careful." screeched an upset ChiChi as her face reddens with each word she spoke.

"Yes Mom" replies a blushing Gohan as he puts his head down and looks at his plate.

Goku had his food finished before ChiChi could sit down and start eating her own plate of eggs and bacon. When she sat down Goku started patting his satisfied stomach and was grinning from ear to ear

"Mmmmmmmmm That was good ChiChi. More." states a satisfied Goku as he pats his now full stomach.

ChiChi's face goes red her nostrils flare She narrows her eyes at him. She grabs her frying pan( She always has it handy) And chases Goku around the inside of their house. Goku's eyes are wide with fear. Gohan and Piccolo are hiding their faces in shame that the worlds strongest man is being chased after his wife with a frying pan.

"ChiChi what did I do wrong." screamed Goku, who's eyes were wide with fear.

Just as she got to him and was about to hit him with the frying pan, the front door was kicked open by a very irate Saiyan Prince. The vein on his forehead was visibly showing and throbbing. He was so red that you would have thought it was going to explode.

"KAKAROTT!!!" screamed an irate saiayn prince.

"Coming Vegeta" sighed Goku. He would rather face an angry Vegeta any day over a irate ChiChi.

Goku and ChiChi run to where the Prince was and in his arms is a very beaten and bloody Bulma.

Goku's face darkened, clenched his fists. His eyes turned dark with rage.

"Who did this to her." through clenched teeth asked Goku.

"I don't know I found her this way just a little while ago." growled Vegeta as he clenched his fists.

"Bring her on into the house." ordered ChiChi as she tried to asses her friends wounds.

Gohan and Piccolo had just come into the room and their mouths were hanging open and on the floor at the site of their friend in the Princes arms.

"Mom is Bulma ok." asked a angry Gohan. He had never seen the spirited woman that he thought of as an aunt looking so vulenrable.

"I don't know son. Go get the rejuvication tank that she gave us for when one of you get hurt and bring it in here." ChiCHi told her son as she looked at hm.

Gohan ran up the stairs and into his moms and dads room and retrieved the capsule and hurried back down. He handed his mother the capsule she clicked the button the threw it a few feet in front of her and with a boom appeared a rejuvication tank.

"I have never seen Bulma so pale, I hope she will be ok, she is one of my oldest and best friends. I love her like a sister." shock written all over Gok's face.

Tears welled up in his eyes he didn't know why someone would want to hurt someone like Bulma she was a good person.

"Put her in the tank Vegeta." ordered ChiChi as she pointed at the tank.

Vegeta glared and scowled at her, but did what she said. When he tried to put Bulma in the tank, she latched onto his neck andwouldn't let go.When he tried to loosen her grip she would whimper and moan in pain.She would even grip him harder.

"Its ok woman I promise I will be here when you wake up, we are at Kakarotts, we will all be here waiting for you. We are going to put you in the rejuvication tank to get you better." vowed Vegeta. With such tenderness in his voice that it startled everyone else in the room.

Bulma loosened her grip on the saiyan prince and he placed her in the tank. Chi Chi hooked up all the necessary wires and put the air mask on her and shut the door. She then pressed the button to fill up the tank with the healing liquids. ChiChi then fell to her knees and began to cry for her hurt friend Goku rushed to his wife's side and put his arms around her.

"I can't believe this is happening. She looks so bad. I don't know if the tank can even heal her. We won't know anything till tomorrow when the process is done." cried ChiChi through her tear soaked hands.

"Vegeta can you tell us what you found when you got back to Capsule Corps." asked Goku as he tried to calm down.

He knew he would be of no use if her let his anger take over him.

Vegeta told them how blood was all over her bed, where he found Bulma and what condition she was in. Goku, ChiChi, and Gohan were all on the couch and Piccolo was in the corner. The three on the couch had tears in their eyes.

"When I find you who did this to her I will make them wish they had never been born." anger in his voice as his eyes flashed red.

Vegeta eyes momentalry went from black to aqua. Goku, Gohan , and Piccolo knew it would not be long before he was a super saiyan. His brows were knitted to together and he had his trademark scowl on his face. But the anger in his eyes made everyone in the room shudder in fear. Vegeta went and sat in front of the tank. He put his hand on the glass in the door and watched his princess float in the liquid that would bring her back to him good as new. Goku put his hand on Vegeta's shoulder and was going to ask him if he wanted to rest for awhile, but Vegeta turned to him barred his teeth and growled. Goku jerked his hand back as if it had been burnt and backed away from him. Vegeta took his head and rested it in on the panel and just sat there watching her.

"Vegeta you going to be ok. You look awful pale." stated a worried Goku taking note that Vegeta just seemed to be ignoring him.

"I will be fine Kakarott. Now leave me alone. Our I will take my anger out on you." growled Vegeta through clenched teeth

Goku paled at thought of having the irate saiyan prince taking his frustrations out on him. The way Vegeta looked right now it didn't look he would be able to handle him even if he was a super saiyan.

"Ok Vegeta I can take a hint. I am going to call the guys and tell them what has happened." as he slowly backed away from the saiyan prince.

Goku walked to the phone and started calling his and Bulma's friends, Krillin, Oolong, Master Roshi, Tein , Choatzo. and Yamacha. All except for Yamacha was at Master Roshi's. They all said they would come to Goku's house the next day to see her when she was out of the rejuvication tank. When he hung up the phone walked over to ChiChi and puts his arms around her tiny waist. He laid his head on top of hers, the smell her peach shampoo invaded his senses. Goku knew that if he was in the prince's place and that was ChiChi and not Bulma, if he found out who did this to her he would kill them.

"ChiChi I am not going to stop him from killing who ever did this to Bulma." as he face becomes serious and hard.

"Oh" gasps ChiChi

She turns in her husbands grasp to face him, his eyes are blacker than normal they are showing her his soul, he is angered and there is something else, ChiChi then understands what he meant when he said he wouldn't stop him, she could see that if the roles were reversed he would kill someone if they did it to her. She just hugged him even tighter and buried her head in his massive chest. Goku gently picks ups his distraught wife and carries her to their room he gently lays her on the bed.

"What are we doing up here, Goku." asked a confused ChiChi

"Lay down and get some rest, you look tired." as he looks down at his beautiful wife.

He places a kiss on her forehead and leaves the room. ChiChi lays there and thinks to herself that a nap would be nice. And before long crys herself asleep. Goku returns downstairs and watches the fallen prince. Gohan comes up to his father and Goku pats his sons head and ruffles his black hair. Gohan looks up at his father with sadness and innocence in his eyes. His eyes and cheeks were puffy from crying. and he was sniffling .

"Dad who would want to hurt Bulma." as he cried into the chest of his father.

"I don't know son but we will find out and make them pay for hurting our friend." as he looks into his sons eyes. "Why don't you see if Piccolo will take you training for awhile. I am going to stay here and keep and eye on Vegeta."

"Ok dad." says a cheerful Gohan.

He then runs off and gets Piccolo and they take off to go train for awhile. Goku sits in a chair in the corner of the room. He never takes his eyes off Vegeta.

~~~~Hours Later~~~~

ChiChi walks downstairs and goes up to Goku. She sits on the arm of the chair that he is sitting in.

"He has not moved or said a word in hours. He just watches her." as worried and sadness was written all over Goku's handsome features.

"I am going to make lunch. Want to help me." asked ChiChi as she stood over him with her hands on her hips glaring at him. She wanted him to leave Vegeta alone for awhile. He needed to get over this his own way.

Goku's stomach growled. He looks at his wife with his goofy grin, placed his hand on the back of his hand. With his other hand he held one of ChiChi's. He stood up and they walked to the kitchen. As ChiChi put lunch on the table Gohan and Piccolo came home from training. Lunch was ate in silence. ChiChi made a plate for Vegeta and took it to him.

"Vegeta here is some lunch for when you want to eat." whispered ChiChi she was still a bit fearful of him.

She placed the plate of food and glass of water beside him and went back to the table to finish he food. When they all were done eating. Piccolo went to meditate outside by a tree. ChiChi made Gohan go upstairs to his room to catch up on his studies. And her and Goku returned to the living room where they sat on the dark blue couch and watched Vegeta. He had not eaten, he had not even moved since Bulma had been placed in the tank. Goku put his arms around his wife and pulled her close to him, she snuggled into him as they both silently cried again for their friend. That is how they sat it till time for dinner. Goku's stomach was not about to not go unnoticed. When his stomach growled it shook ChiChi who had fallen asleep in the comfort of her husbands arms. As she stood up she yawned and stretched.

"I guess it is time for dinner." as she stretched again to get awake fully.

She walked over to Vegeta and picked up the plate of uneaten food. And carried it to the kitchen where she began dinner. When she had finished making enough beef stew and bread to feed several small armies. She went and told Goku to tell Gohan and Piccolo that dinner was done. He took off with such speed that by the time she had got back to the table in the kitchen there was Goku grinning at her waiting for his food.

"Go and see if Vegeta wants to eat. He has not eaten." worryin ChiChi's voice.

Goku stands up as he is walking out Gohan and Piccolo walk in and take theirs seats. Goku walks up to Vegeta and puts his hand on his shoulder.

"Vegeta, ChiChi had dinner done if you want to come eat." stated Goku as he stomach rumbles at the mention of food.

Vegeta didn't move he just sat there watching her float. Goku lifts his hand from his shoulder. He turns to walk away when he heard Vegeta speak.

"I should have been there to save her. It is all my fault." whispers Vegetea pain in his voice. "I failed her."

"You didn't fail her Vegeta, if you hadn't got there when you did she could be dead now." reassuingly Goku states. "You saved her life."

Vegeta just hpmmd. Goku turned his and looked at Vegeta in the glass you could the reflection of tears going down the princes face. He felt it best not to bother Vegeta anymore he left him there looking at he woman he loves and the pain he felt. When he returned to the table he head was hung down. He felt pain in his heart and soul for the two in his living room. When he looked his family and Piccolo looked at him and knew how he felt they were feeling the same thing.

"Let him be when we get done eating I will take him something to eat." states ChiChi with one last worried glance at the prince.

She served them all some soup. They ate in silence, Goku didn't feel to much like eating at the moment so he didn't eat as much as he usually did. After dinner ChiChi took Vegeta a bowl of soup and a glass of water and she, Goku, and Gohan decided to call it a night while Piccolo went to the corner instead of going outside to meditate, he figures he would keep a eye on Vegeta just in case he should snap.

"Please woman you have to be ok, I need you to much in my life," whispers Vegeta. as he begins to fall asleep. "I love you Bulma. Please don't leave me."

He looks one last time at his sleeping beauty. And his eyes close and he falls asleep.

~~~~~Upstairs~~~~~

ChiChi is changing into her long blue silk night gown. She looks over at Goku and blushes, for he is climbing into bed naked. For as long as they have been married she still blushes at the site of his muscular body. He pulls back white comforter with red roses back as she climbs into the bed beside him. Goku then pulls the blankets up around her. He pulls her to him and to where she is laying on his chest. He caress her face with his hand, he lifts her gaze to meets his the starlight from outside makes her eyes look black diamonds. He lifts her head to his and kisses with all that he is so she will know how important she is to him. Tonight they fell asleep content to know that they were with each other.

Let me know what you think so far.
