Chapter 16

Vegeta swished his tail while eyeing up his enemies. One was a strange blue haired woman who was bawling her eyes out. He wished she would shut the hell up. He was surrounded by weak Namekin's. All old and young, not a decent warrior amongst them. They all deserved to be wiped out.

The last thing he remembered was being Oozaru and trying to kill Kakarrot.

"I asked a question." He snarled. "What the fuck am I doing here."

The woman that had been crying stepped forward. She held a slim blue tail in her hand. Vegeta watched her cautiously. She was beautiful he couldn't deny that and she seemed to know something. He decided not to kill that one yet. She would be the last one to die, but they were all expendable.

"This...is New Namek." She said as bravely as she could. "I brought you here." She clutched the tail tighter as if it was a life line of some sort.

"What kind of human are you?" Vegeta spat. The Namek he had killed had called her that. "I have never seen a human with a tail."

"I'm special." She said meekly.

"What's special about you?" Vegeta growled. "You don't look special."

Bulma bit her tongue down, she wanted to snap back but she was petrified. Somehow her tail still existed, but she knew it wasn't because of the love of this Vegeta. Somewhere her Vegeta existed and still loved her. She just had to hold onto her tail to keep reminding herself.

"I'm a pilot." Bulma said and pointed to her ship. "I can take you wherever you need to go."

"So where the fuck is Kakarrot." Vegeta said loosing his patience. "I have a traitor to kill."

"He's dead." Bulma said quickly. "He died two months ago."

"What?" Vegeta questioned, this wasn't making any sense and he was getting more pissed off. The snivelling and crying of the brats to the corner of his vision were also begging to be killed.

"You're in the future." Bulma explained. "You got brought here by accident." She hoped he would believe him, she was in a way telling the truth. She'd learned from her experience with Vegeta he could tell when you were lying. She just had to hope that by telling half-truths that he would believe her.

"So Bardock's son is dead." Vegeta sneered looking more annoyed than pleased at the news. "Was it by my hands?"

"No." Bulma shook her head. "He sacrificed himself to save the Earth."

Vegeta curled up his lip disgusted by the sentimental gesture. He looked around him, they were all Namekin's. It couldn't be a coincidence, there was a Namekin on Earth with the dragonballs. Now here he was surrounded by the green bastards, summoned here by a powerful force. In the centre of it all a pale Earth woman.

"Let me take a shot in the dark this is all because of the dragonballs." He said, the woman's reaction was interesting. Her pale and tear streaked face looked slightly shocked. *So it is the dragonballs.* He smirked and walked towards her.

"I'll guess again." He said closing in on her. He couldn't understand his reaction to her. She was a weak human, he shouldn't find her attractive. He breathed in her scent, she was stinking of fear.

"You're the one responsible." Vegeta said as he grabbed her neck. "You're just a wanna be Saiyan, you wished to see the Prince." He could just squeeze and break the wench's neck now. It would save him the hassle later.

"If I wanted to be a Saiyan I would have wished for it." Bulma snapped back. "The dragonballs are gone." She said the last part believing it herself. They were all as good as dead. If Moori died they would stop working.

"Let me give you some advice." Vegeta let go of her throat. "If I were you I'd keep that flapping mouth shut, you'll survive longer."

Bulma nodded as she rubbed her neck. She was secretly cursing at her stupidity. This Vegeta would kill her without thinking for such impudent words.

"How far in the future am I?"

Bulma held up her hand showing four fingers.

"Don't be such a smart arse." Vegeta snarled.

"It's at least four years." Bulma said quickly realising her mistake. *I'm too young to die.*

"Do you know of Lord Freiza?" Vegeta asked.

Bulma nodded, the look of pure hatred Vegeta gave her was unreal. It was like she was back on old Namek seeing him for the first time.

"What do you know of him?" Vegeta hissed.

"That he's dead." Bulma whispered.

For a moment Vegeta's scowl relaxed as he allowed himself to smirk. "Was it by my hands?"

"No." Bulma answered. She thought for a second to mention Trunks. Then she remembered how annoyed Vegeta had been at the death of Freiza by another Super Saiyan.

"You lie." He chuckled cruelly. "It is I that shall kill the lizard no one else."

Bulma was shaking with fear.

"You say the dragonballs are useless?" Vegeta snarled.

"For another year." Bulma said. "You can't kill the Nameks, if they die the power of the dragonballs die as well. They are linked to their creators."

"You are quite useful woman." Vegeta purred, his bad temper seeming to be sedated by Bulma's eagerness to tell him information. "It seems quite convenient that ALL the Namekins have to stay alive."

Bulma gulped, sometimes she hated the fact that he was so smart.

"I killed one of the fuckers, the dragonballs still exist." Vegeta said pointing to the remains of Loki.

Bulma resisted the urge to vomit. It was just like when he had killed that lizard man on Namek. Her nightmares of that time were flashing back in her face again.

Vegeta smirked again her silence was encouraging. The Namekins had all huddled around one old and slightly rounded Namekin. The woman's white face was also a good indicator. It was strange, he thought how he could read this stranger's face so well.

He turned away from her and stalked towards the green aliens. "You're going to tell me all about these dragonballs."

Bulma hid her eyes. She could be brave sometimes, but not just now. Now she saw the man she loved threatening a peaceful race. It was too much to bare. She turned her back and prayed to whatever gods listening that this was just a horrible dream. She could feel more tears welling up, but she refused to shed any more. It was done now, she just had to hope that there was a way to fix it. She let go of her tail, her only life line to the old Vegeta. He couldn't be completely gone, there had to be something left or else her tail would have dropped off.

Vegeta pointed his finger to each innocent face and back again. "So which one is the key?" He growled.

"This is not the way my boy." Moori said shaking his head.

"What are you talking about?" Vegeta snarled. "I want to wish for immortality."

"Do you want to live forever?" Moori asked. His eyes were locked on the deadly finger, but he had to speak his mind. He would sacrifice himself if it meant to save the universe.

Vegeta tried walking further but something stopped him. He quickly turned to look at the woman. She was wide eyed and staring back at him.

The cause of his hindrance was HER tail. She seemed just as shocked by its action. It had wrapped around HIS tail and was pulling tightly. Vegeta couldn't pull away without hurting his own, which was tightening as well

"WOMAN!!" He screamed.

"AAAAHHHH!!!" She screamed back, Bulma couldn't understand why her tail had done it. For five minutes she squealed and babbled as Vegeta stomped his feet and yelled at her.

"Let go you fucking bitch!"

"I don't wanna die, I'm too beautiful and smart and AAAAHH!"

"Just let my tail go you fuckwit!"

"AHHH! Idon'twannadie!"

Moori and his Namek children watched in fascination at the strange dance. Vegeta would tried to grab Bulma but she would run and pull at the tails. This would make Vegeta blast another rock as a threat. It only made her scream louder and he would clutch his head. Vegeta then swore he would kill the woman. Bulma then would begin to try running again.

"What is going on father?" A Namek boy asked.

"I do not know." Moori said, genuinely puzzled. "I have a theory, but I can't say with the bad Saiyan here."

The Nameks all nodded their understanding and watched horrified as Bulma was finally caught.

"How is it real?" Vegeta said as he held her by the scruff of her jacket.

"I wished for it." Bulma choked. Her tail was still attached to his. If this had been HER Vegeta then she would be laughing. She didn't feel like that at all. She glared at her traitorous tail, she could have been killed!

Vegeta snorted a laugh at her. "I still say you're a wanna be Saiyan." He said. "I should kill you now, only Saiyan mates do this with their tails. It is an insult to my race."

*Not that there's much left.* Bulma thought but said. "It did it by itself."

"Well get in control." He snarled pulling her close to his face.

Bulma kept her eyes locked. *Why hasn't he killed me yet?* She wondered. *Is he just toying with me?*

"Just do it." Bulma whispered.

"What?" Vegeta snapped.

"I thought you would have killed me by now." Bulma said lifting her chin.

Vegeta slowly traced his finger over her cheek, wiping a dot of blood. "Just release my tail, idiot." He said. "If there is no reason for me to kill you then I won't."

Bulma shivered at his cold touch. Her tail relaxed and unlooped from his and she was thrown to the ground.

"If you value your life so much, I suggest you don't mention that again." Vegeta turned back to Moori. "For your own race's survival I hope you'll give me what I need."

"I can't give you what you need." Moori said. "Only Bulma can."

"Who?" Vegeta snarled.

Mahatama pointed to Bulma. "She is your mate." He said speaking up for the first time.

*Oh crap.* Bulma thought. She was hoping to hide that fact till she'd gotten the dragonballs.

"I would never mate with such a whining pathetic weakling." Vegeta picked up Mahatama and started shaking him for more information.

"Whining?" Bulma said quietly. She was starting to get angry. Sure she knew she was weak, perhaps even a little bit pathetic but Bulma Briefs never whined! *Okay there were a few occasions when I voiced my discomfort.* Bulma turned her head down to the ground and tried to remember this wasn't her mate.

~Bulma?~

She glanced up Moori was looking directly at her smiling. ~Nod your head if you can hear me.~

Bulma did as she was asked.

~Listen to me Bulma, this is YOUR Vegeta.~ Moori explained. ~Did you not tell me your wedding vows earlier?~

The blue haired genius thought for a second as she recalled the conversation. She had mentioned the vows. One stuck in her head though. *I forgive all your sins?* She glanced wide eyed at the monster shaking the peaceful Namekin. It was her husband even if he didn't remember. There was still their bond.

~Porunga is not powerful enough to erase the love the pair of you share.~ Moori said in her head. ~You have to be brave my girl, no use crapping your pants over this.~

Bulma gritted her teeth at the last comment. *My pants are fine, I'm just slightly panicking.* He was pointing out her slight cowardliness that surfaced every now and then, but she couldn't let it happen now. She had a son to think of. She had to get Vegeta back somehow.

~The wish cannot be undone Bulma.~ Moori said. ~You cannot take a wish back, Vegeta will have to remember you the old fashioned way.~

Part of Bulma collapsed as her last hope was dashed. *How can I make the stupid bond work if he can't even respect me?* She thought. *Okay, babbling like a maniac hasn't helped.*

Vegeta threw Mahatama down on the ground. "Pathetic!" He spat, the old Namek collided into the cliff side. He didn't survive the impact. Vegeta chuckled at all the blank shocked faces. The only one that wasn't shocked was the woman, his so called mate. Her mouth was thin and she was staring at him with cool determination.

"You cannot defeat the Prince of Saiyans weakling." He said to her laughing.

"I don't want to defeat you." Bulma said coolly.

"Then what do you want?" Vegeta snarled.

"I want you to come with me to prove that what I say is true." Bulma said. "Come to Freiza's planet and see that he's gone."

"That's fucking suicide!" Vegeta yelled. "It's a trap."

"Then stay here and rot for all I care." Bulma yelled back. "I'd much rather see you face off against Freiza rather than a bunch of unprotected Namekins."

"When I have the power from the dragonballs!" Vegeta said.

"You already have the power!" Bulma said and then covered her mouth.

Vegeta stalked up close to her. "Would you mind repeating that it sounded really puerile and suicidal."

"I said you already have the power." Bulma whispered, his threatening closeness sapping the last of her new found bravery. "You already are a Super Saiyan."

Author's Note: Quick with the update this time! I just couldn't leave the HUGE cliffhanger from last chapter. I like my life, I really do want to live. Motivational death threats always a plus!

Chibi Vegeta: "How come Bulma's still alive?"

Mz D: "Remember when Vegeta met her on Namek she still survived a visit from the old Vegeta. He doesn't kill unless he's making a point or he's bored or pissed off."

Chibi Bulma: "That's doesn't leave a lot of other options. He's always making points and being bored or pissed off!"

Mz D: "How about when he's sleeping?"

Chibi Vegeta: "He's just a killing machine. The rest of the annoying Nameks should all die a bloody death."

Chibi Bulma: "You're just as mean an' horrible an' terrible as EVIL Vegeta!"

Chibi Vegeta: "That's cos I is!"

Mz D: "That can't be grammatically right!"

Chibi Vegeta: "Don't you fucking go and correct me you lazy ass hoe!"

Mz D: "Hey I updated I've been good."

Chibi Bulma: "As good as an evil author with a multiple personality complex can get!"

Mz D: "I don't know whether I'm being complemented or criticised." *sniff.*

Chibi Bulma: "But what about the dragonballs, I thought they would make everything better!" *Now crying.*

Mz D: "What's a bit of romance without drama?"

Chibi Vegeta: "Ew, that just makes me wanna be sick."

Chibi Bulma: "I'll make you sick! I'll bake super Bulma cookies!" *Whips out a box of strange dark green cookies.* "I made them for Halloween but no-one took any!"

Chibi Vegeta: "What's the green bits?" *Actually takes one.*

Chibi Bulma: "My special mushroom seasoning."

Chibi Vegeta: "Cool" *Actually eats one.*

Mz D: "So, back to the chapter, I'll update as soon as I can but it's still not looking good for Bulma and Vegeta!"

Chibi Bulma: "Join us next time on another exciting episode of Vegeta's Tail!"

Chibi Vegeta: "That's as lame as the funimation! You dumb assed bitch!"

Chibi Bulma: "Who are you calling a bitch? You're the bitch you ate one of my cookies, you'll do anything I say!"

Chibi Vegeta: *In trance.* "Yes Mistress Bulma."

Chibi Bulma: "Oooh, this is so much fun!" *Claps hands.*

Mz D: "Can you go get him to clean the bathroom?"

Chibi Bulma: "Fuck off! I'm still pissed at you for what you did to big Vegeta! Chibi Vegeta is gonna feed me grapes while I watch big Vegeta work out on TV."

Mz D: "Can I come too?"

Chibi Bulma: "No, you'll sit at the computer and work on the next chapter!"

Mz D: "Yes, Chibi Bulma." *Avoids eye contact.* "Okay so next chapter we'll find out how Vegeta reacts to the Super Saiyan news. I will update as soon as possible, I hate leaving long cliffhangers." *Sees someone sniggering.*

Reader: "Yeah right!"

Mz D: "No, seriously I'll update!"
