30DragonBallZ: Sleeping with the Enemy
Chapter 7 written by Noble...
7 days past and things were not looking up at all. That loud mouthed harpy and her estranged mate had still continued to avoid each other, much like what Vegeta had reffered Bulma to being in the first place, a plague and one that should be avoided at all costs. Unfortuntely their had break up had caused a smigeon of a mistake...well a fuck up really in Vegeta's case. The woman had lost her spark, her will to live but more importantly her will to argue back. And Vegeta didn't like that one bit! Who was he going to argue with and annoy in a battle of wits? Certainly not Kakkarot! That dimwited moron could barely keep a decent conversation until the notion of food was mentioned and he'd be drooling like some teenager would over seeing a naked woman for the first time. And he was suppose to be a saiyan for kami's sake!
This certainly wouldn't do at all. As a saiyan prince, a warrior who holds the pride and glory of his race, he must first and foremost keep in perfect shape, physically and mentally. Arguing and annoying the woman wasn't exactly keeping his mind in perfect condition but she was providing to be a source of entertainment that kept him amused and 'happy' when he was bored. It was sort of like a religious thing he did every day in Capsule Corps, he'd get up at the break of dawn, skip breakfast, scare the shit out of the woman and then go and train for half the day and then when he was done, he'd come in and argue with Bulma about anything until her temper flared and she was cursing and screaming for all she was worth leaving him chuckling and satisfied. That was his daily routine, that's how it always went. But now that the woman lost the old flame that flared in her soul, Vegeta was beginning to admit, soundly to himself I might add, that he missed Bulma's feiry temper. It was the arguements with her that made his days complete and without them, some part of his day felt...empty. Something had to be done and soon.
Meanwhile with Bulma Breifs her days were not going so well either. Having witnessing your decade old boyfriend cheating on you for the thousandth time triggered something within the young woman's heart that caused her to feel as empty as she is now. But something like this wasn't natural, especially for someone as tempermental and boasting as Bulma Briefs, who had both brains and looks. Plus she was used to seeing Yamcha cheating again and again and always they argued and ALWAYS she took him back. More false promises, more let downs and another piece of her heart chipped away at by his unfaithfullness. You'd think after knowing a guy for 10 years, that for once he'd actually change and keep his word, but no he had to continue this emotional damage between them, stupidly or not wasn't the question, but to why he did it and why she kept on taking him back was.
In a sense Bulma always took him back because of 3 reasons; his boyish charm, the prospect of one day getting married and sadly because she didn't want to be lonely. For as beautiful and brainy as Bulma is, being heir of Capsule Corps and literally millions, it was a safe guess to say she had it all. Technically with all the wealth they have there almost wasn't anything the Briefs couldn't have...I did say 'almost'
The one thing that money can't buy any lonely heart in this day and age is love, real love. Sure a mass of wealth attracts attention, but not love. Yamcha never wanted her money and in some ways he didn't want her neither. The only thing that seemed real between them was the friendship they had because the intimacy between them was sometimes rare and even rarier in the public eye. None of the Z fighters expected their relationship to last, nor did any of them expect Bulma to have a mental breakdown of this magnitude, but it was bound to happen some day and her parents of all people knew it would happen, however they expected it to come sooner rather then later.
Perhaps dressing to kill would have been more appropiate nearly 8 days ago, the sight of Yamcha flirting with and touching another woman had been the final straw for Bulma and with the anger and hurt her heart and mind felt, she simply 'shutdown' and left in tears, not even giving Yamcha a chance to explain himself let alone come up with some lousy excuse and since then...Bulma's been feeling the same ever since. Lifeless, uncaring and slowly giving up on life. Living just didn't seem worth it when all you held dear was taken away from you by someone who was probably 'better'. Granted Bulma did get a little angry but more depressed of the mental image that was forever imprinted in her mind and sometimes, just sometimes she wished he never was wished back with the Dragonballs in the first place. What was all that effort for? Travelling to Namek, going through all the trouble to get the namekian dragonballs and wishing him and the others back just so he could pull the same stunt time and time again.
But since suffering a mental breakdown, Bulma had hardly done anything around the house other than mope around in her bedroom, staying in bed most of the day before finally getting up in the late afternoon to shower and to get some much needed substance that her stomach growled angrily for. Once she looked and felt refreshed Bulma made the slow walk down the stairs to the kitchen and began to raid the cuboards and refrigerator eating anything without even bothering about the calories and whatnot, she wasn't a saiyan and with how bad she was feeling mentally she could care less what she ate. Bulma was in her own little world and the concern from her parents went unnoticed while she ate, letting their worry fall on deaf ears.
Once done she would take her pots to the sink and washed them and retreated back to her bedroom silently, closing herself off from the rest of humanity. Pity and worry were somethings she didn't need right now, and if she by chance bumped into Vegeta she certainly didn't need to hear his harsh words to degrade her any further. Speaking of an oh so annoying saiyan prince, recently Bulma had yet to hear one snidey and disgusting comment from his fowl mouth. Could it be that he was avoiding her too? With all the nights she stayed in her room crying and sobbing it was doubtful if he couldn't hear her at all, especially with his acute saiyan hearing. Vegeta's senses were so sharp he could probably smell a cat farting 3 miles away. But for now Vegeta was the least of her troubles as her parents had continued to persist on checking up on her.
"Bulma honey, your father and I are worried about you dear. Could please come out of there so we can talk?" questioned Bunny Breifs worridly.
"No mom *sniff I'm just fine..." came the usual reply.
"But dear everyone has been coming to see you because there worried about you, even that cutey Vegeta has asked about you"
"Vegeta?...That cold hearted bastard only cares about getting his ego damaged and his stomach filled"
"On the contuary Bulma, he's been acting different for sometime now. Every time he breaks the Gravity Room he asks for you to fix it. He's never happy with the work I do for our guest and has admitted that you do a better job" replied her father rubbing the dirt from his glasses.
"He...does?"
"Yes he does dear. However he's spending more in that Gravity Room and he's even eating less. For a saiyan much like Goku I don't think thats healthy of him to be eating only 2 meals a day"
By now Bulma has stopped crying and has moved away from the bed, right up to her door listening to her parents voices. For some reason there was concern in their voices not just for her own well-being put for Vegeta as well. She knew her parents were right, a saiyan eating only 2 meals a day did seem a little unbelievable especially when they eat nearly 5 or 6 piles of food a day, eating only 2 is practically unheard of until now.
"Mom, dad...did Yamcha call at all?" she asked quietly, unsure of herself.
"Yes dear, 3 times a day. He's even came to visit but we told him you busy with some new project. Was that alright dear?"
"Yes mom it was...thanks. Listen if Yamcha ever comes here again or phones up and can you please tell him he isn't wanted here anymore?"
"And if he doesn't listen?" questions Mr Briefs eyebrow raised.
"Then tell him if he doesn't stay away Vegeta can use him as a punching bag to train with"
"Ok honey. Oh by the way it's nearly lunchtime, are you going to be alright up here?"
"Yes mom, I'll be done in a bit. If Vegeta isn't there by the time I come down, I'll go and drag the royal assclown here even I have to use a leash" chuckled Bulma a little amused at the thought.
**15 minutes later outside the Gravity Room**
*BANG BANG*
"Hey monkey boy! Open up!"
"WOMAN! You DARE to disturb my training?! And that's Vegeta Prince of all saiyans to you, not 'monkey boy' Got it?!"
"Geez, somebody is definetly grumpy today. Ok how about veggie instead? Or lug head?" she questions slightly giggling.
"NO! No Monkey boy! NO veggie and certainly NOT LUG HEAD! Now...what do you want?" he growls aggitatedly.
"Your joining us for dinner right now buster!"
"Join you and your weakling family? I think not!"
"I wasn't asking you LUG HEAD I'm TELLING you that your joining us for lunch!"
"Oh? And what if I don't woman? What could you possibly do to make me join you family for that ridiculous slop you call food?" boasted Vegeta smirking.
"Well...if you don't join us for lunch, the next time you break the gravity room neither me or my dad will fix it. The next time you want food your going to have to go over to GOKU's and eat with him, Gohan and Chichi. Plus the guest room your so fond of sleeping in? Guess what that's going to be off limits for a whole month AND you'll be sleeping on the couch!"
"You...you GAHH blast it! You can't order me around! I am the prince of all saiyans!"
"Oh did I forget to mention the good point for doing this little thing for me? If you do join us, you'll get to keep all of the above plus and trust me this is a plus...if Yamcha ever shows up here at capsule corps: You can beat the living shit out of him, deal?"
Pondering this for a moment, Vegeta's hand rests under his chin as he begins to rub it, weighing out the options in his mind. Either way it seemed the woman won this arguement, but beating the shit out of Yamcha would make better practice then those infernal training bots. However before he could give a respectable answer, his stomach growling angrily at the lack of substanance answered for him, his body once again betraying his mental commands. This is one fight Vegeta, try as he may, could not win.
"Fine woman...lead the way"
'Well it's about time that blasted woman got over that wimp. Perhaps now I'll get some decent entertainment around here' he thought following head bowed.
"Bulma?"
"Yes mom?"
"Phonecall for you dear, it's Yamcha"
"Oh is it now? Here I'll take it and you can take lug head to the kitchen" she answered confidently, eyeing vegeta as he looked back at her scowling at the nickname.
"Hello?"
"Hey Bulma, babe how are ya?"
"Don't 'Bulma babe' me! You know full well how I've been! What have you been doing without me there Yamcha? Oh yes thats right, you been cheating on me and fucking with every girl in sight!" She roared heatedly.
"But Bulma it wasn't like that REALLY!"
"Oh it wasn't was it? I suppose seeing your hands on that girls breasts and under her skirt in the resturant was a figurement of my imagination now was it? Yeah that's it, I must have finally gone crazy with the amount of times you've cheated on me and broken your word! Well guess what Yamcha? Were done! It's over! Done and dusted! And hey don't feel bad I'm sure there's plently of woman out there that can forfill you needs and if not, there's always blow up dolls!"
"Bulma...please...can't we make up?"
"Oh now we have a desperate plea from a desperate man? Ha! you Yamcha will never EVER get to touch or feel this body again! You have neglected me and our relationship for the last time! Your the only one to blame for the mistakes you made, so get over it! Goodbye, oh and don't even think of coming here, Ive given Vegeta permission to send you to the next dimension if neccessary!"
*Click!"
With a smug smirk and a heavy sigh of relief, Bulma Breif starts the day anew and happy. The only problem now was dealing with a certain saiyan prince and that looked like no easy task. Heh, love was never easy...always complicated.
