Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Unrequited Feelings ❯ A Compromising Partnership ( Chapter 6 )

Bulma lay in bed, still wide awake. It was 3:00 in the morning... and Radditz still hasn't come from... wherever he was. She turned around, so that she was laying on her stomach, and her face was pressed on the pillow. She could somehow still smell his scent on it, she buried her face in it, and closed her eyes, getting herself to get some sleep, when her cell-phone started ringing. She picked it absentmindedly, and raised the receiver on her ear.

"Ello?" she murmured dully.

"Wow, you even sound sexy on the phone. Go on...." came a familiar, arrogant voice. Bulma blushed, and hung up. "Damn that bastard!!...ughhh....." she fell back in bed, closing her eyes once again, and the cell-phone was ringing again. she picked it up. "C-18... like I'm gonna talk to him... now... how do I turn this thing off???" She tried to look for button, but she couldn't find it. The damn thing was so complicated, and the ringing was beginning to give her headache, so she answered it instead.

"Yeah??"

"Hey sexy."

"Hey, El Dorko Pervo."

"Hey, I'm not a perv!!!" he shouted.

"Why are you calling me for at this time of night anyway??" she snapped.

"Why are you awake??"

"I asked you a question first!"

"Gee, calm down babe-"

"DON'T CALL ME BABE!!" she pounded her fist on the pillow.

"Hey, come over..."

"N-O, NO!!"

"I don't need a spelling lesson!"

"Arrgh!! Look, I don't want to talk right now, especially with you, so GOODNIGHT!!" she hung up. The phone rang again, she gripped the pillow, and screamed into it.

"Babe, why'd you hang up?"

"Why are you calling me!?"

"I just wanna talk to you... so come over."

"No."

"Come on. I need you fix my light."

"Do it your self!! You have hands right??!! USE THEM, DAMMIT!!"

"Well... If you want to know, I'm busy using them for something else at the moment."

"You sicken me!!" she blushed.

"You're the perv, I'm making an ice cream sundae!!!"

"Oh." (Bulma: O_O)

"Hey, but if you want me to-" he snickered, pulling down his pants.

"Don't... STOP RIGHT THERE!!" she shouted to the phone, as if she was there in the room with him. He winced, pulling the earpiece away from his ear.

"Come on Woman... come on over..."

She bit her tongue. Radditz still hasn't come yet... where is he? Why aren't you here? It's so boring here without you.... "Fine..." she murmured bitterly.

"Cool, I'll get myself ready."

"For what!?!" she shouted, unnerved.

"You'll see...."

She hung up, and stared at the wall, almost seeing through it.... "My God, what did I just get myself into...."

Goku waited outside, by the bar, waiting for Chi-chi to come out. It was 3: 30 a.m, and she still hasn't come out... what was taking her so long, he thought. He looked sideways, checking one last time, and was about to leave, when the door suddenly flew open. It was Chi-chi (Goku:*blush*), and right next to her, was a half conscious Radditz. Ha had an arm around her.

"Are you stalking me now, Kakkarot?" she grimaced.

"No, just waiting for you."

"Well, that's called stalking... now... can you help me with him?"

He took one of Radditz arms, an placed it on his shoulders, his gaze never leaving Chi-chi's. "What happened to him?"

"And you're still asking me, how dense can you get?!" she snapped.

"Faith?"

She nodded.

"Did they fight?"

"I wouldn't call it a fight, necessarily..."

"Oh."

Radditz began to snore, and grunt. ".... Bulma...."

"No, it's me, Chi... can you walk?"

He stood up straighter, and ran his hands through his hair. "Yeah, I can go on from here, you guys go on."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'll see you in the morning." He turned to Goku. "Kakkarot." he placed his hand on his shoulder, and glanced at Chi-chi. "Good luck."

He smirked. "Thanks."

Radditz left, and disappeared into the darkness. Chi-chi sighed, and began to shiver all over. Well of coarse... she was wearing a muscle t-shirt, and a black skirt that fit her on to small and too tight. (Goku: drool)

"What!?" she snapped

"Nothing, it's just... you look nice."

"Oh... this old thing??" ( Chi-chi: ^^;;)

He shook his head. "No, that's not what I meant... you look happy."

(Chi-chi: *sighs heavily*) "I'm not happy. It's just a face I put up everyday, and my face is frozen that way, so whatever."

"I don't think so." he took off his jacket, and handed it to her. She stared at Goku, then at his jacket. Just what was he up to now? That lunatic...

"What do you want?"

He shrugged. "It's just... I just thought you were cold."

"Oh, okay." she took his jacket hastily, and put it on. Instantly, she could feel his body heat on her... and she could smell his scent... It was a nice smell....

"You're like a damn oven heater, Kakkarot." she murmured, snuggling into his jacket.

He laughed. "Am I? Gosh..." He made a goofy face.

She tried to stifle her laugh, but she couldn't. "Shut up Goku!!"

He smiled. "Hey, you're calling me Goku again."

She stopped laughing, and stared at him bitterly, as she took her jacket off. "Fuck you!!" She threw his jacket on the ground, and walked away, her hands, balling into a fist. Damn him, damn him... damn his stupidity, I fucking hate him!!! FUCK HIM!! She wrapped his arms around herself, and she could still feel his body heat... she shook her head, and broke into a run.

Bulma waited outside by Vegeta's door, snapping her foot on the ground every second or so. He finally answered the door, and he had a strange look in his face.

"Baka!! I was waiting out here for half an hour!! What were you doing in there, jerking off!?!" she snapped.

"Yep." he grinned.

"Ewww." she murmured awkwardly.

"Thanks."

"So... what do you want to talk about, now that I'm here."

He walked towards her, and she backed away as he walked closer, and closer to her, until he backed her up onto the wall. She had a (<.<) look in her face.

"Will you be my friend?"

"Eh?" (Bulma: O_o??)

"Yeah, let me be your friend."

"Sure, like I would want to be your friend." she murmured sarcastically.

"No seriously. I want to be your friend."

"Yeah, sure, whatever... just don't call me around this time anymore, okay?" she was about to leave, and he pushed her back with his finger.

"You can't leave just yet."

"Why not?" she asked through clenched teeth.

"There is a catch."

"Oh, like I didn't see that coming... what’s the catch?" Oh, this is going to be interesting....

He leaned against her, and she backed away. "You'll be my friend... but with benefits." he smirked.

"Benefits??" she mouthed. "And what are these... benefits?"

"Yeah, you get to sleep with me, twice a week-"

"HELL NO!!" she shouted, trying to leave, but he was holding her back.

"Wait... you didn’t hear the rest."

"Friends with benefits... what kind of bullshit is that!?!" she spat. "Look, I'm going back... to get some sleep..." she yawned. "You should try it too, you know... eight hours of it?? Okay?" She got out from under his arms, and Vegeta stayed still, frozen like a statue.

"Fine, be like that, you stupid bitch!! I tried to be reasonable, so fuck you!!"

"Why don't you go fuck yourself?" she murmured under her breath, so that he couldn't hear.

"I fucking heard what you said, you stupid bitch!!" he said, as he opened his door. Bulma was caught off guard, and frowned.

"Does it look like I care?"

"You should... you should be cowering with fear right now." he grimaced.

She laughed. "Me... afraid of you?" She held the pendant in her hand... remembering all the lives lost on that one day... her friends, her boyfriend, her father.... So many lives lost that day.... he couldn't possibly understand what real fear was... ignorant bastard, she thought angrily. She grabbed one of her slippers, aimed it at his head, and threw it, hitting squarely on his head. She ran into her room, before he said anything else.

It was cold... definitely cold... all I did was lend her my jacket... and try to cheer her up... she needed it... why does she have to be... so cold, and indifferent? She never used to be this way... She was warm and loving... bitchy at times, but... I still miss the old Chi-chi. The one that used to laugh at my jokes... I truly, truly miss you...

As Goku reminisced about his younger years, he felt a foot collide against his head. He jerked up, looking to see who it was, and frowned, when he noticed a familiar presence.

"Baka." he murmured.

"What are you doing out here, late at night, Kakkarot?"

"I'm not in the mood, Vegeta, so go away." he murmured darkly, keeping his gaze at the small pub. Vegeta snickered, and began to scratch his head, when his fingers accidentally landed on a fresh lump he had received just moments ago. When I get my hands on that bitch, I'm gonna fucking screw her face up!!

"You're still after that bitch!?! Give it up, Kakkarot, and get a fucking life!!"

He pressed his jacket closer to him, and took a tiny whiff of it. He could smell her scent on it, he promised himself he would never wash it again. "You don't get it, do you? There are things far more important than drinking booze, and having sex with random women. It's people like you, who spread diseases." He grimaced.

"Nice speech Kakkarot. You use big words now... how incredible." Vegeta murmured sarcastically. It was now Goku's turn to laugh.

"You're just in denial."

"Denial?" he chuckled to himself.

"You don't want to accept that it's true, Vegeta. I know it. It's everyday... you get that sinking feeling... after you've fucked another woman... and then you'd hate yourself after that, so you get wasted, and wonder why you were ever born. So yeah... you are in denial."

Vegeta stared off onto the distance, his whole body shaking, after what Goku said. He had no right to... he had no right to... step into me like that!!! Swiftly, he turned around, and grabbed Goku by the neck, squeezing, until he couldn't breathe anymore. Goku remained passive, though, staring down at Vegeta.

"So... you're going to kill me after you have heard the undeniable truth? Is this how messed up you really are, Vegeta? Incredible. I thought I was messed up, going after Chi-chi, and now I finally realize... she doesn't love me... So. Why. Bother. Kill me then. I have no reason to live." he said, egging him on. Vegeta made a face of great detest, and let him fall to the ground. Goku made a gagging noise, as he massaged his neck.

"About this... chi-chi girl..." Goku looked up at him curiously. "Girls like it... when you ignore them. If you chase them around like how you're doing it... they'll think your some kind of freak." Goku nodded, confused. "So ignore her." Vegeta continued. "Chicks dig that." he said, turning around, grinning. Goku got up, grinning from ear, to ear. "I better get going... seeya!" he left, waving his hand carelessly. Vegeta snickered, and stared at his hand, going into deep thought. Of coarse... I've been doing it wrong all along... Is that why... she runs away from me? Come tomorrow... she will be in bed with me.

"... mmmmn.... no, not right here... they could be watching us.... hehehe... that tickles, Radditz... you're such a good kisser. Hey give that back... no really, give it back, I hate people seeing me without my underwear...*snore*... move over, I can't see you...." she woke up abruptly, rubbing her eyes. The sun was coming in very strong from the window, she was blinded by it. She yawned, and found herself laying on the ground.

"What the... how the hell did I end up down here!?!" She tugged at her hair, screaming. "It's that stupid baka!!! I didn't get enough sleep, that stupid baka!!! Friends with Benefits what kinda crap is that!?!" She got up, and changed herself into some jeans, and a white blouse. She ran out of her room, and found Radditz on the couch, in a deep sleep, a string of drool dangling on his bottom lip. She giggled, and poked his shoulder.

"Umm... Radditz... are you alright?? Radditz??"

She heard him breathe heavily, and his eyes fluttered open. "Bulma."

"Hai." she chirped.

"You look... drop dead gorgeous today."

She blushed. Was it the alcohol that was making him say that? Of coarse not... or maybe... Is he... hitting on me?

"Uh... excuse me?"

He blushed. "Umm... I could see your... ahh... *cough*... unmentionables." he blushed crimson red.

"My what?"

He was growing more flustered by the second. "Ahhh... look down..."

She looked down, confused, and felt herself blush. She was in such a hurry, she forgot to button up... exposing her bra. She put her hands over her chest, feeling embarrassed than ever before. "I... uh... err... ohmygod..."

"Can I have some coffee?" he changed the subject.

"Yeah, sure." she ran behind the counter, buttoning up. Oh my God... this is so embarrassing... And... My God... was he staring at me?? Well, of coarse he was, I was right in front of his face for Gods sake!!! And... he's a guy, why wouldn't he!?! Aaarrrrggh!! Why me!!??

"Umm... where were you last night?"

"With Chi." he replied quickly. She new right away that he was talking about the bar. "Oh." she murmured, preparing the coffee.

"I... talked to Faith."

Her hand froze over the coffee maker.

"It was... the first time... seeing her in person. She looks... great."

Something was tugging at her heart. "Oh."

"I'm stupid... I don't know what made me do it. I'm just a... I'm the biggest baka-"

"No you're not." she murmured, breathing heavily. "You... confronted her, at least. Those are the first steps." Why am I feeling this way? Every time we talk about... her... I feel... so vulnerable, and... overwhelmed... why?? Why am I feeling this way?

"I guess... you can say that... thanks."

She put on a fake smile. "Of coarse! Don't mention it!"

He stared at her. "You look tired. What happened.

She was glad he changed the subject. "Oh yeah, I couldn't sleep well enough... I couldn't fall asleep."

"Why not? Is something troubling you? If you want, I can-"

The door suddenly flew open, and Goku walked in, looking absolutely exuberant. "I thought I smelled coffee!! Oi!! Radditz!!"

Radditz grimaced. "What is it with you, walking into people's room, uninvited?? What do you want, Kakkarot!?!"

"I want coffee?" he murmured, and for some reason, it was making his brother pissed off.

"All you ever think about is food, huh?? God almighty, you need a therapist!!!"

"And all you ever think about is women, eh??" he winked at Bulma, who was gapping at him. She looked down, and noticed two buttons were still unbuttoned. She blushed, and put her hand over her chest. He looked at her closely... her face... she looked familiar... Is it... could it be... She looks different... and her chest size... ugh... don't think about it.... damn my Saiyan blood...

"Is that you... Bulma?"

She nodded, approvingly. "Goku?"

He was flustered. "DAMN YOU RADDITZ!! YOU'RE SLEEPING WITH HER!! OH GOD!! NOT HER!!" he cried into a corner. Both Radditz, and Bulma blushed.

"WE'RE NOT SLEEPING TOGETHER!!" they shouted in unison. Goku sighed in relief, and he strode over to Bulma. She couldn't help it... She wrapped her arms around him, hugging him in a tight embrace. He smiled, and hugged her back. "It's been a long time... eh?"

She wept onto his chest. "I... missed you... so much... I just wish... things didn't out turn this way." He stroked her head. "I'm sorry, I couldn't do anything about your father."

She backed away, wiping her tears. "It's not your fault, Goku. It was no one's fault."

He smiled cheekily. "Okay... Is the coffee ready?"

She laughed. "You are too stupid.... Yeah, it's ready." Moments later, the three of them were standing around the counter, sipping on their coffee. It was already beginning to take affect on her, and she wasn't feeling as tired as she did in the morning. She glanced at Goku, and smiled.

"Have you seen Chi?"

He put his cup on the counter. "Yeah... she's okay." Radditz looked at him, noticing how darkly he had responded to her. Something must have happened...

"Cool, I saw her in the bar... two days ago, I think... We had a couple of drinks with her, it was fun!!"

"Did you really?" he murmured darkly.

She nodded. "You should have been there!!"

"Is there more coffee??" Radditz said all of a sudden, trying to change the subject. As he served himself another cup of coffee, Bulma dazed out. She suddenly remembered about her dream, and now that she thought about it, she was beginning to fell awkward around Radditz. She was... well let's just say that they were too close... and he kissed her... on the lips!! The kiss felt so real... she automatically thought it was, but realized it was only a dream, when she woke up. Is that why... she felt strange when he talked about Faith?

"I better get going." murmured Goku, still in his unusual dark mood, though Bulma didn't notice. She clasped her hand around her cup, staring into the dark liquid.

"Kakkarot left." he murmured.

"I didn't notice."

"Is something wrong?"

Yes, something is definitely wrong... I think I am falling in love with you. "No, nothing's wrong." She took a sip of her coffee, and winced. It was already cold.

"You know... when I was talking to Faith..." her heart sank. "... I was thinking about you the whole time."

Her eyes bore into his, like a laser pointer. "I don't know why. Maybe it's because... I've grown so fond of you... I've got so used to being around you. Even if I only met you a couple of days ago... It feels so strange not being around you." he looked at her, and smiled.

"I feel... just about the same." she said, not blushing.

"I guess we're on even ground, then?"

"I... suppose."

They remained quiet for a moment. She stared at him, hand on her chin. I'm... already fallen...

Vegeta was laying awake in his bed, staring at the ceiling in deep thought

"You don't want to accept that it's true, Vegeta. I know it. It's everyday... you get that sinking feeling... after you've fucked another woman... and then you'd hate yourself after that, so you get wasted, and wonder why you were ever born. So yeah... you are in denial."

"That amateur doesn't know what he's talking about." he murmured to himself

"Friends with benefits... what kind of bullshit is that!?!"

Just imagining her voice sent shills up his spine. Yes, she was a special one indeed.....

The door to his bedroom suddenly flew open, and he grimaced when he felt a familiar presence.

"Hey, you lazy sac of shit!! Where the hell were you!?! I was looking all over for you!!"

Vegeta smirked. "Nappa, you son of a bitch... what do you want at this time of the day!?!"

"I have a proposition for you, and I know you'll like this one."

Vegeta raised his eyebrow at him. "I'm interested... explain."

"It is the reason why... we're here in the first place... for that... Bulma girl."

Vegeta instantly sat up at the mention of her name. It had to do something with Bulma. What did she have to do with anything?

"You see... that necklace that she has... at first I didn't want to believe it, but-"

"Stop keeping me in suspense, baka!! Spit it out already, dammit!!!" he spat.

"I still don't know much about it... but last night, I made a little research, and to my beliefs... that necklace... grants any wishes the holder desires. In this case, Frieza wants it for-"

"Immortality." Vegeta finished for him.

"We can't allow that to happen. That is why I am here... I need you... to-"

"Get it before he does." he spoke out his thoughts. "We've came down here for more than a year, why is it taking him this long... to get it?"

"The reason... is still unknown to me."

"And... how the hell did she end up with it? Who gave it to her, or should I say, how did she get it? Where, when... why? How is she using it? And what for?"

Nappa shrugged. "I don't know the whereabouts, but... do whatever it takes to get that necklace from her. Kill her, fuck her, whatever... just get it before he does. That's the only thing I'm asking... Are you up to it?"

Vegeta lay back on his bed, pondering over it. If I get my hands on that necklace... who knows what kind of chaos I can create... "Of coarse... definitely."

Nappa chuckled. "Get it working, then. Remember this... no one should know about this... Bulma shouldn't know about it. The seconds are ticking..." he grinned, leaving. Vegeta stared at the ceiling, picturing all the chaos he was gonna put everyone through.

"Kill... him... for... me... avenge... me... son..."

He shook his head, as images of a dead body filled his mind. Head completely severed, legs, and hands dislocated in dangerously odd angles... blood, and organs spilled out on the floor... His dead fathers corpse... Frieza crackling in laughter.... holding his mother by the neck... her whole face turning blue, from the lack of oxygen....

His mood became darker. "I will kill you... Frieza."

She couldn't stop thinking about him... She was beginning to feel embarrassed about the way she acted toward him last night... He lent her his jacket, for God's sake!! Why was she acting like a whiny bitch!?! She sighed, and felt a sudden shill crawling up her spine, when she noticed Goku coming her way. She prepared herself, tucking in her shirt, fixing her hair, etc.. When he was about a couple of feet to her, she cleared her throat. Apologizing can be a bitch. (Chi-chi: <.<)

"Kakkarot, there you are, I've tried looking for you, but I couldn't put the courage-" she froze, when she saw him walk past her, without a word, and not looking at her... as though she didn't exist... She opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out. Why is he acting this way? He never acted... this cold before... maybe it's because he didn't see me... that baka, sac of shit!!

"Kakkarot!! Kakkarot, I say!! I'm calling you.... KAKKAROT!!!" she shouted, running after him. He stopped, and she did too, holding her sides, as she breathed heavily. Goku didn't turn around to look at her.

"I'm not in the mood... bitch."

Chi-chi froze, her eyes widening in shock. Did he just... call me... what I think he just... She fell onto the ground, her breathing uneven. Goku walked away... with a satisfactory grin on his lips.

A/N: Yay, ch 6 done!! I dunno why, but... I just love mean Goku. I like evil people, it's just one my confessions. they're badass, and sexy, and did I mention sexy?? ^^;; anyways, reviews anyone?? O_o??
