Chapter 17

Goku, Gohan and Piccolo returned to find ChiChi sitting on the floor holding a hysterical Bulma in her arms. Goku sat next to them and took Bulma and cradled her close chest. She fought him with all of the strength she had. All she wanted was to get to Vegeta and make sure he was ok. She tried talking to him through their bond, but it was no use.

Goku held her in his lap rocking her back and forth till she had calmed down.

"He will be ok Bulma. You know Vegeta he is a fighter." as he soothed her down.

"Oh Goku, I am so afraid. The things Yamacha did to Vegeta were awful. He ripped his tail right off of him." as she sobbed into her best friends chest. "His tail was really the last part of Vegeta's past that he had. He has nothing else."

He didn't know what to say he just listened to her as she explained how she saw Vegeta.

"All that is left of his kind is you and Gohan. At one time he was the prince of your people now he is the prince of not even a handful of people who don't even see him as his their prince." as she finally quit crying and looked up at Goku. "Now all he has left is his pride and his title to a dead race. You were there on Namek when he died. You heard what he said. But what he would never tell you was that he was practically beaten everyday of his life by Frieza. And when he thought of his revenge it was took from him by death. And then you not knowing transformed into his birthright. And that was just something else to add to his list. Maybe we should all look at who he is now and not what he was. He is just the way he is because of the environment he was raised in."

"Bulma I never knew." stammered out Goku.

He never knew his people. He thought of what had just said and she was right. He had never really treated Vegeta as his prince. He supposed in some he should start treating him a little better at times. He looked down and there was Bulma asleep in his arms. He gently got up and placed her on the couch.
ChiChi was stunned to hear what Bulma had said. When her husband came into the kitchen he walked in to find her deep in thought.

"What is wrong Chi" asked Goku as he sat beside his wife.

"I was just thinking about what Bulma had said. It is not just you that treats Vegeta with disrespect it is all of us. Bulma and her family are the only ones that ever treated him half way decent. They took him into their home and do what ever he asks." as she looked down at the table.

Goku and ChiChi sat there at the table in silence as they both thought about what Bulma had said. She had been right. They both looked when they heard Bulma laughing. They both walked into the living room to see Bulma sitting in front of the tank

~~~~~~A few minutes before~~~~~~

Bulma had woke and made her way to the tank. Only to find a very irate Saiyan prince. She placed her hand on the glass. And he placed his on the other side by hers. She looked at him and tears formed in her eyes.

~Don't cry woman I will make him pay for what he has done to me.~ growled Vegeta

~No Vegeta. They made a wish for him to change.~ pleaded Bulma ~You don't have to~

~Ok Woman just quit giving me that look but if he ever looks at me or you wrong I will destroy him with out a second thought.~

~Ok just get some rest it will be a while longer before you can get out. ~

He just growled and drifted off to sleep with a frown on his face. Bulma could not help but laugh as she saw him. And that is the scene Goku and ChiChi walked into. They both exited quietly both knowing that she and Vegeta had formed a bond.

They left before they could see her lay her head on the glass and a tear fall down. She was crying for the shame her mate had been put through. And for the fact neither of them was able to stop it. She abruptly turned her when there was a knock at the door.
