Chapter 10

In the early dawn hours, all of the Z sensei were gathered in the living room, anxious to find out who had done this to Bulma. Yamucha on the other hand was scared, he was nervous and jumped at the slightest sound, and no one could figure out why. He waited in the kitchen, and he was so preoccupied he didn't even notice Goku and Krillin coming up behind him.

"Yamucha, you ok?" Goku asked, startling Yamucha so bad her almost jumped through the roof.

"Yeah man," put in Krillin, "you look ragged."

With an uneasy laugh, Yamucha replied "Nah, I am ok, just worried about Bulma. Just afraid of who she says might have done this to her. What if it is someone we all consider a friend?"

Both Goku and Krillin's faces immediately darkened.

"They would not be a friend if they would do this to Bulma. Why Yamucha? Do you a have a person in mind that might have done this to her?" Goku asked, giving Yamucha a quizzical look.

Shaking his head vigorously Yamucha said "Nah man, I was just saying…. How long has he been there with her? Vegeta, I mean?"

"Vegeta hasn't moved or eaten since she was put in." Goku answered gravely.

Tein, Choatzu, Gohan, and Piccolo all walked over to them. Each had a look of disgust on their face. Yamucha had a hard time looking any of them in the face.

"Dad, mom says we should go out and train some. She says she will come and get us when Bulma is out and able to tell us what happened to her."

Ruffling the top of his Gohan's head and grinning he says "Sure son. Come on guys lets go."

They all go left to spar leaving in the house a heart broken Saiyan, a beaten friend, and a maniac wife that was standing in the doorway to the living room shaking her frying pan at them. She knew Bulma would not want all of the guys when she got out of the tank. She knew she wouldn't be able to get Vegeta to leave, so she left him alone but made everyone else leave.



~A few Hours Later~





Bulma opened her eyes groggily to find herself surround by some sort of liquid and immediately panicked and began clawing at the glass, but before she freaked out too bad, she suddenly felt the liquid draining and saw the door open and she was suddenly in Vegeta's arms.

Looking up, she saw Vegeta and he was watching her, she stared into his eyes. How she loved his eyes.

~Don't freak out onna, you were just in the tank. ~

~What the…! What are you doing in my head?!~

With a smirk, Vegeta explains. ~We have bonded my princess. You are mine as I am yours - for eternity. ~

With a grin she replies, ~I would have it no other way, my prince. ~

Vegeta notices a slight shiver go through her body and flares his Ki to keep her warm.

"Better?" he asks with a smirk.

With a nod, Bulma snuggles closer to Vegeta, loving the feeling of being held in his arms.

At the sound of Vegeta's voice, ChiChi comes running into the room and stops dead at the sight of Vegeta holding Bulma so gently in his arms. ChiChi felt tears spring up to eyes; she was so relieved that her friend was ok. She looked back and forth from Vegeta and Bulma and neither took their eyes off the other. She walked over to a closet and got out a red flannel blanket to cover Bulma up in. She handed the blanket to Vegeta who wrapped it securely about his mate.

"Set her on the couch Vegeta. Please."

With a slight growl Vegeta obliged her without argument, Bulma just giggled.

~I hope you know I am going to kill him. ~ Vegeta more stated than asked.

"No, don't leave me. Not yet anyhow. Please?" She asked out loud in a slightly foggy voice and giving him a pleading look.

Vegeta growls but makes no move to leave. ~Soon.~ he tells her.

*Did I miss something?* ChiChi wonders to herself, but then just brushes it off for the moment. "I will get you some clothes and then call the guys in to let them know you are-"

"No ChiChi, please wait a bit before you call them. I… I'm not ready to talk about it."

Nodding, ChiChi goes upstairs to get her some clothes to wear. As she leaves, tears start seeping out of Bulma's eyes. Trying to comfort her, Vegeta pulls her closer to his chest and starts rubbing her back. ChiChi comes to back to see Vegeta soothing her and tries to hide a grin, for now she remembered what Goku had told her about the couple and Trunks. *So… it's true. Hn.* She hands Bulma some undergarments, a pair of jeans, and Capsule Corps tee Bulma had left at the house a while ago.

To Vegeta, she says "You can take her upstairs to shower and get dressed."

Carefully, Vegeta stands up and silently walks upstairs to the bathroom. Setting her inside, Vegeta stands outside the door to give her privacy. Forty-five minutes later Bulma opened the door and was ready to face her friends and tell them what happened.

As Vegeta helps her downstairs he tells her "He is here."

Closing her eyes for a moment, Bulma answers with a sigh "I know, but I also know that you won't let him hurt me." Then she flashes one of her big grins.

Snorting, Vegeta replies "Of course not. No one touches what's mine."

She shakes her head, but remains quiet. He carefully picks her up and carries her up the rest of the way, still not sure how stable she is. Sitting on the couch he arranges her in his lap, holding onto her as if she would be taken away at any moment. ChiChi walked back in the room a few minutes later.

With as big of a smile as she can muster, ChiChi says "You look better, do you want me to call the guys in now?"

With an odd note in her voice, Bulma tells her yes.

She looks up at Vegeta and holds him tighter as ChiChi goes to door and yells for them to come. Everyone hurries back to the Son house except for Yamucha. Bulma grinned at all of her friends in turn as they came in.

With a big grin on his face and his arm behind his head in that classic pose, Goku says "Hey Bulma, how do you feel better?"

"Yeah?" everyone else asks.

"How do you think she feels baka?" Vegeta asks forcefully; holding on to Bulma even tighter.

With a small smile, Bulma reassures her friends and tells them that she feels much better.

"Do you know who did this to you?" Asks Piccolo

Everyone just fell over (classic anime style) leave it to Piccolo to just get to the point. Then Yamacha started to walk in, Bulma paled and Vegeta growled and began to power up. Standing up he walked over to Goku and pressed Bulma into his arms. "Kakarotto, take her. I am going to take care of something."

He went up to Yamucha and powered up a bit more and popped him right in the face, knocking him out of the house, then proceeded to followed to give him the butt whooping of a lifetime. Before Goku could intervene or anything, he felt Bulma tug at his shirt. Looking down at her he saw the tears in her eyes, as she told him not to get involved.

"He was the one that hurt you." Goku stated.

Everyone started talking at once, Bulma just lowered her head.

"Not Yamucha…"

"That Bastard…"

Setting Bulma on the couch, Gohan and ChiChi sat with her trying to comfort her as the others went outside. They watched as Vegeta beat him senseless, till he was just a mass of tissue and bones lying in the ground. But no, he wasn't done with him yet. He walked back into the house and gently picked Bulma and took her out side.

~You shall finish it off, onna. ~

Looking at him quizzically, Bulma asked ~How? I have no fighting skill."~

~I will help you. ~ Is all he said?

Bulma looked deep into his eyes, and, after a moment, nodded. He took her petite hand in his and began transferring some of his power to her. The yellow glow of Vegeta's Ki engulfed Bulma, making her look like an avenging angel. Her hair was flying all around her face, which was beginning to turn pink from the energy. Vegeta put his palm to the back of Bulma's hand and began to form a Ki ball. You could see the fear on Yamacha's face as he saw his fate.

Suddenly, Bulma said "I have a better idea…"

They released the Ki ball and Yamucha screamed in pain. ChiChi covered Gohan's eyes, and all the other sensei grimaced in horror at Yamucha's fate.

Please review. And let me know what you think
