Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Your Are My Strenght ❯ Rasing the stakes ( Chapter 8 )

"Bulma what's going on?" asked Yamcha

"What do you mean?" she asked as she walked to the front door

"You know exactly what I mean you, Vegeta your sudden increase in strength" he replied as he followed her

"Oh that, well Vegeta has been training me" she said nonchalantly as she opened the door

"Why" asked Yamcha as he stepped out the door

"Well, because I asked him to, any Yamcha I better go you know how impatient Vegeta is… I'll call you," she said as she shut the door leaving a shocked Yamcha staring at the door way

"Its about time" said Vegeta who was leaning on the wall with his arms crossed

"I'm sorry your highness" she said as she bowed down to him

"Hum" he said as he moved toward Bulma

"So what are we doing today?" she asked

" I'm going to teach you another basic fighting sequence that I want you to copy," he said as he took a fighting stance. Punching his left fist out he quickly followed it with a kick from the right foot, and then he brought up both his arms together clenching his finger into a fist and them quickly bring them down.

After he finished he turned to Bulma and nodded that it was her turn to try, Bulma copied the sequence in what appeared to her to be identical to Vegeta

"What was that?" yelled Vegeta

"It was the fighting that you should be that what" she yelled angry at Vegeta

"No it was not, what have I told you about making your moves flow into each other. Aren't you women supposed to be graceful and flexible?" he asked

"No not every bloody woman has to be extra flexible, and so I can't get that move down, are you forgetting I haven't been fighting my whole life"

"Like I could forget with that less than mediocre performance," he shouted

"You know what screw you Vegeta, I don't need your help training I can do it myself" she yelled before turning around and running into the house.

"Yeah well as long as you don't forget our deal" he yelled back before he went to the gravity machine.

(month later)

Vegeta and Bulma haven't spoken for a month… well that is if you don't count the frequent argument which consisted of Vegeta demanded Bulma to give him his tail or laughing at her pathetic attempt to train herself in which Bulma would laugh at him still not being able to reach super sayain status.

As of now they were both in the garden training….

From the corner of Vegeta eye he had been watching Bulma she had improved a lot, he knew that she had gone to both scar-face and baldy and asked them to train her. But that had only lasted a week each, in which she would return home and train in the mini gravity room she had made for herself. As of now she had a determined look on her face and was doing various movements in the air. Turning away from her Vegeta went back to his simple stretches.

Bulma knew that Vegeta was watching her, she could always tell she also knew he was impressed because of the way he would subconsciously smirk when she dragged herself to doing an extra few movements. Bulma had been to both Krillin and Yamcha and asked them to train her they had taught her a few things of value, but it wasn't the same as when she did it with Vegeta. Somehow because of his arrogance she always pushed herself harder so she could prove something to him and perhaps change the way he thought of humans'…weak creatures. She had been practicing a move for a long time in her mini gravity room, (which only went up to 10k in which she was on 3k) this move always made her tired, Krillin said that this type of attack would. But she thought that if she could shock the life out of Vegeta it would be worth it. Slowly she stood floating in the air moving both hand back towards her sides she began to form an energy ball that grew in power as she moved her hands forward.

Vegeta felt a sharp increase in Bulma KI and turned to look at her she was forming a KI beam that was pink he heard her shouted out "Rapid flash attack" and suddenly the beam shot out of her hand straight toward her house. He saw that she was trying to move the beam upwards so that it would not blow a hole in the house but she looked exhausted and could only move the beam up a little.

Quickly Vegeta moved in front of the beam and hit it upwards and then moved up to Bulma she was panting heavily sweat dripping down her face

"I did it… I final did it," she said as she turned to Vegeta "I did it Vegeta I must be getting stronger… I mean I didn't faint right" she said with a smile and with saddens but bright eyes

"Yes you are" he responded catching her in his arms as she fainted
