Last time: He took a seat on the bench and closed his eyes. If he was going to wait for that dreadful woman, he was at least going to get some sleep.

Chapter 3: Confusion and Deceit

Vegeta awoke from his light slumber at the incessant beeping of the regeneration tank. He looked on the far wall to see that only an hour and a half had passed. Apparently Bulma's injuries were not as bad as he had thought. What a weakling that human was.

He grunted and walked over to the regeneration tank and waited until all of the liquid had drained, the opened it and pulled the woman out. He heard her groan, and figured he had roused her from her dreams. He couldn't help it as he wondered if he was ever in any of her fantastical dreams. Somehow, he highly doubted it. The woman was an evil whore, undoubtedly the direct spawn of Satan himself.

He was surprised that she had not woken up yet and tapped her on the cheek. All he got was another groan, but she didn't wake up. 'Goddamn woman! Wake up already, I have things to do!' Vegeta thought angrily, and started shaking her by the shoulders. After a moment of that, extreme irritation set in and he finally just tossed her off the bench and smirked as her heard the smack of her body on the tile. Served her right as far as we was concerned.

His glory didn't last for long as the loud shriek reverberated off of the walls and his ears felt like they'd just split in half. He was sure they must be bleeding. He looked over to see Bulma sitting back and rubbing her side. She turned to look at him with a glare of absolute loathing.

"You bastard! What gives you the right ---" Bulma began to rant but was cut off.

"What gives me the right? I just saved you! Notice your lack of injuries, you ugly shit? Yes, I took time out of my busy schedule just to stick you into that damned machine, so I think that it gives me all the right! And who are you to be talking about having the right to act? You aren't one to speak, you lying, maniacal…."

"Oh, don't start! You don't make any sense anyways! I've never lied to you about anything, and I am certainly not maniacal! I'm a genius! Take it as you will!" She turned her back to him and crossed her arms. She shivered suddenly and a blush ran across her entire body as she noticed her lack of dress. "You tried to rape me!!"

"What?! I did no such thing! Unless you wanted your clothes to become part of your DNA then I should think I did you a favor!"

"Oh…well it's still not right! Give me my clothes!"

"Your clothes are beyond repair, you may wear one of my suits temporarily."

"Ew! Not blue! It doesn't match me!"

"WOMAN ARE YOU BLIND?!"

"What are you talking about this time, monkey boy?"

"Have you not noticed your incredibly abnormal and ugly to boot coloring? Your own hair is blue if you hadn't noticed!"

"Yes, but it's light blue! Not that horrid royal blue color. Bleck!" She said and stuck out her tongue. Vegeta was becoming more than a little angry at this point, until a thought crossed his sly little mind.

"Fine woman. I will not force you to wear one of my suits. In fact, it would please me much more to see you walk around like that for the rest of our six days on this ship!" He barked out with a smirk. A look of complete dread spread across Bulma's face and her whole face seemed to drop down. Somehow, the suit seemed like quite a good idea all of the sudden.

"Ugh! Well then give me one of the damn things! Don't just stand there smirking vegetable-brains!"

"If you ever call me that again I swear I'll tear you apart!" Vegeta said and emitted a large snarling noise. He went over to the locker, grabbed a suit, and threw it at her. "When you are finished meet me on the ship's main bridge. Hurry up!"

Bulma hmphed as he walked out and began to put on the suit. It was so tight she had no idea how she'd be able to survive. She decided not to complain to Vegeta; he would undoubtedly decide that she didn't deserve the suit and make her walk around nearly naked. She rolled her eyes at the thought. She absolutely hated that man! He was arrogant, rude, unruly, most definitely did not have the manner of a prince, and most of all that horrible smirk! It was almost like he was stating 'I am so much better than you' each time he did it.

She shrugged it off and decided to go meet him at the bridge as he had instructed. It's not as if she had anything more pressing to do. Unfortunately she had no idea how to get to the bridge, so she decided to just take a right turn in the hallway and follow it to wherever it took her. She noticed the walls, though plain and grey, had what appeared to be some sort of script printed into it. It was surprisingly beautiful and she slid her hands down it. She figured it must be Saiyan or the dear Saiyan Prince wouldn't have left it there.

As she walked down the hallway she reflected on things she had learned about Prince Vegeta. For one thing, he was completely insane. He seemed to think she had lied to him about something, and she most definitely had not. Also, he acted completely on instinct. She would be surprised if anything he did actually had any thought behind it whatsoever. She also realized that he probably only had one good feature; his incredibly perfect face and body. Though she was in no way attracted to that horrible mass murderer, she couldn't deny that he was handsome. And brave. And smart.

Wait a second, since when did she start naming the good things about him? She fake slapped herself across the face and then continued with her list of things she despised about the man. She noticed more light than usual up ahead and kept counting. By the time she had gotten to what was apparently the bridge, (lucky her that she picked the right way to walk), she had listed in her mind about 53 things she couldn't stand about this man, and about 6 things that were acceptable qualities.

She looked around and couldn't see Vegeta anywhere and sighed, wondering if this was in fact the main bridge or possibly a second bridge or something. She wasn't sure there could be two bridges on a ship, but she really didn't care. She walked farther into the room and saw spikes poking up from behind the pilot's chair in the room. She smirked and screamed as loud as she could as payback for making her wear this awful outfit.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" She yelled, but was quickly cut off as the chair spun around and a very pissed off looking Vegeta flew at her and in about 2 seconds she was flat on the ground with him on top of her. He clamped his hand over her mouth and huffed loudly. He looked like he was about to rip her mouth right off, and that's what it felt like too. "Mmmphga! Fffgur gurkpfeen ee!!!"

"What was that woman? You're sounding rather muffled," Vegeta said with a smirk and let loose of Bulma's face.

"I said, 'VEGETA! You're hurting me!'" Bulma screached and went to slap him, but Vegeta caught her hand and pushed off of her, lifting her up with him. "Listen here, you ass, if you ev---"

"Shut up! How about you listen for once? I take you into my ship so you won't die and be stranded on a stupid little planet, then request your present on MY bridge for conversation, and you try to kill me with your awful screeching! I think you have no right to be ordering me around at the moment! Now be quiet and sit down, I have something I wish to discuss with you," Vegeta said, walking over to a small table with four chairs around it. Bulma slowly followed, deciding against going into a rant. When he didn't start saying anything she decided to speak up.

"Well, what is it? What do you want to talk about?"

"Yes…well as you know Frieza is now dead, and his tyranny has been stopped across the Empire. I cannot be defeated by any living being as it is, and I plan to take the throne to my new Empire as soon as possible. However, I cannot decide on what should be a rather simple matter,"

"And? What is it?" She said and felt a feeling of dread worm it way through her neck and down her spine as he slowly raised his eyes to meet hers.

"You."

"M-me? What about m-m-e?"

"Well, y-y-you are quite the problem," he said and smirked as he mocked her stuttering, causing her to blush furiously out of anger. "See, I cannot decide what to do with your nasty hide. I can either A) keep you around for a slave, B) sell you to the highest bidder, or C) completely obliterate you and rid this dimension of you."

"Umm…can I vote for a choice D?"

"There is no choice D woman, and I am being completely serious. Still, because of my past…care…for you, I could set you free. I guess that is choice D. Still, I highly doubt that that is the decision I will come to."

"Past care for me? You don't even know me! Were you stalking me?! We had NO past together Vegeta! You're delusional!"

"Woman, what the Hell are you talking about? Am I that disgusting to you that you are now in denial?"

"I am not in denial! You're just crazy! I think I would recall a…tryst…with you of all people! And by the way, I give myself more credit to have a relationship with a beetle than you, even in the worst state of mind!"

"You are quickly pushing my patience, Bulma. You're doing this on purpose aren't you? Gods! What did I do? Honestly, though I don't care anymore, I would like you to enlighten me; what exactly happened after you left? Why the Hell do you hate me so now?!"

"What the fucking Hell are you talking about?! I never left anywhere! I've always been with Frieza! There was no you EVER in my past, nor will there be in the future! I hate you!"

"Why are you doing this to me?!" Vegeta said and stood up then threw the table to the side of the room. Bulma shrieked and jumped out of her seat and started creeping backwards from him. He looked like a cobra waiting to strike.

"Vegeta calm down! I'm not doing anything! You know what, just stay away from me!" She said and bolted off down one of the hallways, he didn't pay attention to see which. He sat back down on his chair and put his elbows on his knees, then buried his face in his hands and rubbed his temples. He had no idea what was going on, but he was going to figure it out.

Did the woman really forget everything? This trip was going to be more interesting than he had previously assumed.

Author's Note: Yay, third chapter is out! Ugh, I had something else planned for this chapter, but decided I'd put it in the next chapter instead.
