Bulma fell into the embrace of the prince. She could tell by the strange look on his face that he was confused and scared. Did he have feelings for her? It was possible, but she wasn’t going to worry about that at that moment. She was going to live this part of the life for the present, not the future. She wasn’t going to worry about it, she was going to stay into his embrace till he felt it was time to go.

Vegeta finally felt Bulma relax in his hold. He was actually happy about it. He held her close and rested his head on his shoulder trying to forget everything and everyone he had left behind. He felt Bulma nuzzle at his chest, trying to get comfortable. His fingers combed through her blue hair and they just sat there. They said nothing and the sounds of the forest filled in the air. *Am I doing this so that she will help me defeat Freeza? Am I just using her or do I really feel something for her?* He could not answer this question himself and he wasn’t sure if he would ever answer that question. His tail found itself around Bulma’s waist trying to pull her closer to him, if that were even possible. The two just sat there for kami knows how long. They declared nothing and announced nothing. All that each other knew was that they were not alone.

* * * * *

It has been two weeks since Vegeta’s landing, and he has been trying to adjust to the earth’s ways. He and Bulma didn’t talk much after the incident in the woods. Vegeta continuously trained now and Bulma was working on a machine that Vegeta called a Gravity Machine. It would increase the gravity inside of a chamber and Vegeta said it was an ideal training place and could increase his power ten fold. Bulma began working on the machine, she knew that Freeza would be looking for Vegeta. By what he had said, Freeza wants to eliminate any one with the potential to over throw him. But she was used to all this training. Goku and the rest of the Z-team trained a lot even though there were barely any threats on earth. All those people just liked to learn how to fight better. Bulma, though, never mentioned a word about the dragon balls to Vegeta. Though she believed she could trust him, she didn’t want to take her chances of him trying to find them and doing something drastic. So she never told him, and no one else told him, it wasn’t important, or at least not at that moment.

Vegeta had flown over to a deserted area and began training. Improving his fighting techniques and discovering new ki blasts. He was trying to get Bulma out of his head. *That woman is distracting me from training. I have to get her out my head, or destroy all my distractions…* Vegeta shook that idea out of his head. He would not kill her and since he was very fatalistic he felt that there had to be a reason he met Bulma.

Vegeta threw a couple of punches. She had introduced him to the rest of the Z-team (Piccolo, Krillen, Tein, Chazo, and Yamchua.) If there was one person he didn’t like it was Yamchua. He didn’t like the way he looked at Bulma. He could tell there was some attraction there, the way he always helped Bulma or how he always agreed with her. It was enough to make his stomach churn. But he was very relieved to see Bulma ignore all his attempts and stayed by Vegeta’s side. What Vegeta thought was very odd, though, was that Piccolo was a Namek and what surprised him even more was that he had split himself apart long ago and his other self was Kami, the God of earth. Vegeta had thought about this over. *If there was a Piccolo and a Kami and if Kami was God, then shouldn’t there be dragon balls on earth? And if there were dragon balls on earth shouldn’t they be able to grant any wish? And then, if they did exist on this planet, why had Bulma said nothing about them?* These questions made his head spin, but he quickly shrugged them away deciding that if they did exist she would have said something, and since she hadn’t, he would just forget about ever thinking there were dragon balls.

Vegeta looked over the skyline , the sun was setting and he was hungry. He began flying back to Capsule Corp. and when he opened the door he heard voices. A voice of a cheerful woman, an old man, and Bulma. When he entered the kitchen Bulma stood up, “Vegeta hi! This is my mother and father!” Vegeta gave a nod of acknowledgment, *When do I get to eat?!* he thought. Bulma’s father and mother got up.

“Hi Vegeta, how are you? We’ve heard a lot about you from Bulma!” Her mother exclaimed looking Vegeta up and down and soon became entranced by the sway of his tail.

Vegeta smirked, “I am Prince Vegeta of Vegetasei.”

Bulma’s father smiled, “Bulma told me she will be working on a gravity machine for you.” Vegeta nodded in agreement and glared at Bulma.

“Dear kami, I almost forgot, its dinner time! I’m gonna go call that chinese take out place for dinner. Vegeta eats just as much as Goku so we hafta order a lot.” Bulma exclaimed and ran over to the phone calling the take out place.

It was late by the time they had finished eating and Bulma’s parents said good night and headed off to bed. Bulma began cleaning up the dishes humming a tune and Vegeta sat back in deep thought playing with his scouter. Suddenly he heard his scouter beep. *Hmn… Looks like I’m still getting messages from the base.* Vegeta put the scouter back on and listened to the message.

“Attention all soldiers with power levels 500,000 and up. You are needed on the earth assignment for the recapturing of the Saiyan Prince, Vegeta. The flight is leaving tomorrow at 1200 hours with Freeza leading.” A picture of Freeza came up on the screen with a young saiyan girl (Seirra) standing behind him. Vegeta cocked his eye brow when he saw her tail. *A saiyan with Freeza?!* “It will be a four month trip to earth pack wisely and report to gate A for more detailed instructions about the trip.” After the announcement the scouter went blank and Vegeta took it off and stared at it.

“Vegeta is something wrong?” Bulma timidly tapped Vegeta on the shoulder. He looked up at her, his eyes flash of nervousness.

“They are coming.” Vegeta whispered, unsure if he was answering Bulma’s question or telling himself.

“Who’s cominig?”

“Freeza and his men.” Vegeta left out the part about the glimpse of a saiyan woman that stood by his side, it was information he wished not to tell her.

“What? Well you’ll just fight them. I’m sure the Z-team will help.” Vegeta glared at her remark.

“They are too weak and would die quickly. They will be of no help.” Bulma looked at him.

“Are you going to fight him and his men alone?! You are crazy, you will die!” Vegeta grabbed her arm and stood up towering over her.

“I can handle his men, it is Freeza alone that I’m not sure.” Vegeta let go of Bulma and stared back at his scouter. *Why is he going through all this trouble to recapture me, and why is that saiyan girl with him? How come I don’t remember ever seeing her?!* Bulma held her arm. It scared her the way he lashed out at her. She was just worrying about him. Vegeta looked at her, had he grabbed her that hard? “Oh… Um… sorry.” Bulma just looked at him and sat down. “Look I told you, I’m sorry.”

Bulma looked up at him with worried eyes. She didn’t want him to die, she didn’t want Freeza to kill him. In fact, she wanted Vegeta, I mean wanted him. She stared blankly at him and Vegeta gave a low growl as the movement of his tail became faster. He pulled Bulma up by her shoulders and gave her a deep kiss. She kissed him back slipping her tongue into his mouth as he did his. His tail rubbed itself against her thigh and her fingers entangled themselves in his spiky hair. Vegeta rubbed his hands on her sides lifting her up and carrying her to his room. “Vegeta,” she whispered out of breath, “Should we go through with this?”

Vegeta looked down at her. She was underneath him and he was on top. He looked at her and smirked, “If you want to.” Bulma looked at him and kissed him on the lips. Taking that as her answer, he continued.

Vegeta’s hands went under her shirt gripping her breast as his thumb played with it. She soon became stiff and her hands went down to the base of his tail where she discovered, as she played with it, he shivered. Vegeta finally couldn’t take it any more and ripped her shirt and bra off and threw them on the floor. His scouter was left in the kitchen and so he preceded on removing his gloves and shoes. He took off his armor leaving him in his spandex outfit. He reached down and unbuttoned Bulma’s pants and took them off along with her panties. He then took off his spandex outfit. Bulma’s eyes went large when she saw his size. He smirked, *Gotta love being a saiyan.*

Vegeta kissed her again pressing himself on her but not enough to crush her. In-between kisses he asked, “Have you ever done this before?” She shook her head. He looked at her, he would have to be extra careful. He kissed her again and moved down to her neck. He bit her slightly, receiving a little yelp from her. He licked the blood and said, “Now you are mine.”

Bulma rubbed her leg against his and his tail played on her side. Vegeta reached down and traced his finger on her flower. She moaned and arched forward hoping for more. Vegeta inserted two of his fingers into her and pumped in and out receiving moans of pleasure from her. He stopped when he thought she was ready and inserted the head of his member. “Are you ready?” She nodded as he inserted his length into her. She tightened around him but he kissed her and interlaced his hands with hers. He slowly pushed in and out of her till she relaxed and began to enjoy it. She wrapped her legs around him as each thrust drove them nearer to their edge. He began moving faster hearing her scream his name over and over. He smirked, screams that he had once enjoyed hearing as he caused pain now he enjoyed hearing them as he gave pleasure. He soon released inside of her with a moan of his own and Bulma reached her climax and collapsed back on the bed gasping. Vegeta rolled next to her, breathing hard.

Vegeta pulled her sweaty body to his. She laid her head in the crook of his neck and he rested his head on the pillow raking his fingers through her dampened hair. They were both breathing hard and he just held her close for comfort and love? Maybe. She soon fell asleep from exhaustion as he was left awake to think everything over.

:::Vegeta kneeled in front of Freeza. He had just purged a major planet for a world that offered a lot of money to him. “You have done well this time Vegeta. I’m surprised you were able to purge this planet in a day while that other planet took four days.”

Vegeta said nothing but kept his head bowed, he didn’t want to say anything at that moment to anger Freeza.

“What? Is the great monkey prince not going to say anything? Not even a thank you? Ungrateful, that is what you are!” Vegeta looked up at him, his tail tightened around his waist.

“Thank you,” Vegeta mumbled

“You should be grateful. Grateful that I saved your ass from destruction like the rest of your people. Glad I continue to let you work for me even though you threaten to over throw me. You better just keep saying thank you if you know what is good for you.” Freeza scoffed and mumbled something about destroying Vegeta.

Vegeta looked up. He had heard what he had just said. His power began to rise. *This time is just as good as any other.* Vegeta growled as he flew up to hit Freeza. But he stopped as something grabbed a hold of his neck and was holding him up against the wall, strangling him. He looked surprise to see Freeza sitting pretty in his chair, smiling. Vegeta focused on the figure that was holding him against the wall. She had black hair with blood red streaks. Her outfit consisted of a short black fighting skirt and a sleeveless tight silver shirt. She wore a black see-through robe and black boots. The thing that Vegeta saw that attracted his attention was a brown tail that swung behind her. *A saiyan!* She said nothing but held him captured. Vegeta was slowly losing consciousness in her deadly grip. The last thing he heard was the laughter of Freeza.

The next day Vegeta awoke in a regeneration tank. The doctors noticing his awakening quickly drained it and let Vegeta out. They told him nothing but gave him his clothes and told him to leave. He was unsure whether what he saw was an illusion or not and so he soon forgot about the confrontation of the girl who he thought might’ve been a saiyan and put that memory in the back of his mind.:::

Vegeta sat up in the bed awakening Bulma as well. Bulma screamed and noticed Vegeta sitting up staring out the window. She crawled over to Vegeta, “What is it?”

*That is who that girl is! I’m sure of it. She was that saiyan girl who almost killed me.* Vegeta knew that if she really did exist and she was the one who almost killed him. And if she was accompanying Freeza he’d have more trouble than he thought he would. He would now not only have to beat Freeza, but one of his own kind; a saiyan woman.

* * * * *

Seirra and Freeza sat at their private table in Freeza’s quarters eating a grand meal. “Seirra, have you ever met Vegeta?”

“Yes, one day when Vegeta tried to attack you I intervened and strangled him against the wall. He soon lost consciousness. That was about a year ago, more or less.”

Freeza nodded and took a sip of wine, “Good, so you might be able to handle him. I’m not allowing any of the troops to go down and fight him.”

“Then why did you bring them along.”

Freeza smiled as he looked at his saiyan mistress, “If I didn’t bring them, everyone would become suspicious of why it is just me and you.”

Seirra nodded, it made sense, no one must know of her existence and the existence of her and Freeza’s relationship. They sat in silence for some time eating there food. “Freeza?” She asked timidly, “Why are you going through so much trouble in getting back Vegeta?”

Freeza looked at her and studied her for quite some time. He reached out and took her hand, “It is a long story, but I will make it short for now. Some day, I will tell you the whole story.” Seirra nodded, as long as she had some idea of why he was doing this it would suit her just fine. “Well, as you know, I destroyed Vegetasei a long time ago. And I took only two saiyans under my wing. You and Vegeta. I took Vegeta because he was strong and would be very good for my business and I took you because… I found interest in you.” Seirra blushed and waited for him to continue.

“As you know, I destroyed that awful planet because a lot of the saiyans were planning to revolt against me, and I just couldn’t have it. Now I knew Vegeta was going to try and run away but I thought I had made sure there was no way he could that. I was wrong. That stupid monkey prince got away. The important thing about recapturing him is that I can’t have him restarting a new saiyan race. As you know, he is royalty, elite as well and if he were to ever have children they would be strong and might even have the power to over throw me. Vegeta has landed on a planet that contains dragon balls as well. If he were to find all seven of them, he could wish Vegetasei back and then that whole damn planet would return. And well… I just can’t have that. I have to get him back, make him suffer, gather the dragon balls and leave that planet. Maybe we should even have some fire works, like, well, destroying that planet earth.”

Seirra sat back. It made perfect sense. He had to get Vegeta back because not only did he not want the saiyan race to start again, but he didn’t want him to find the dragon balls and wish Vegetasei back. “I understand Freeza, and I will be by your side at all times.”

Freeza looked at her smiled as he rubbed her hand with his thumb, “I’m glad you see it my way. We will leave tomorrow, and then the fun begins.”
