The Namek Saga - Part Six
Krillin knocked on Bulma's door and waited for an answer. When he didn't get one, he pounded on the door.
"What is it Krillin?" Bulma demanded sleepily as she opened the door, tying the sash on her robe.
Krillin blushed bright red when he realized why it had taken Bulma so long to answer the door. "Goku has just landed. But so have five other guys and I don't think they're friendly," he managed to squeak out.
"Go and bring Goku here. I'll wake Vegeta up and tell him about the other arrivals. Maybe he'll know something about them," Bulma said and shut the door. She walked over to the bed and shook her sleeping mate awake.
"What is it Woman?" Vegeta growled with a yawn.
"Goku has just landed, but so have five other people and Krillin doesn't think they're on our side," Bulma said as she hurriedly grabbed some clothes. "Arg!! None of these have holes for my tail!" she yelled.
"Don't worry. I find you a battle suit and armor like mine," Vegeta said as he got out of bed and slipped his tight blue pants on.
"Do I get the boots and gloves too?" Bulma asked eagerly.
"Of course," Vegeta replied. He pulled on his boots, then slipped on his shirt.
Bulma suddenly got scared as the realization that her mate and friends might die in the fight against Freeza hit her. She walked over to Vegeta and hugged him. "I'm scared," she whispered.
Vegeta hesitantly returned Bulma's hug. "Don't be. I'm the strongest in the universe. I'll always be here to protect you. Kakarrot and his brat are fairly strong as well. You will be safe," he said.
Bulma nodded and tried to smile, but a tear rolled down her cheek instead. "I know. But.. Once we leave this room, you won't act like you care. And I'm not sure if I can handle that right now. I need to feel safe, and I won't if you're cold to me," she whispered.
"I...know that I will always... care... for you Woman. Even when I don't act like it. I was raised by my father and my trainers that to show emotion of any kind was shameful. Freeza and his men took care of the rest that my trainers and father missed. It's hard to forget years of teaching," Vegeta said softly, wiping the tears from Bulma's face. "But I'll try to do it for you."
Bulma gave Vegeta a desperate kiss, putting all her fear, her doubts, and her love into it.
Vegeta returned the kiss, rubbing Bulma's back in circles,trying to calm her.
Bulma eventually calmed down and broke the kiss, though tears still slid down her pale cheeks,leaving wet trails. "I love you Vegeta," she said hesitantly, unsure of how Vegeta would react to her words.
Vegeta didn't hesitate in his reply. "I love you too Woman," he said, wanting to keep his mate happy. He bit her nose gently, his tail wrapping around her leg of it's own violation.
Bulma bit Vegeta's chin gently in return and wound her tail around his leg.
There was a knock on the door and the spell was broken.
Vegeta pulled on his armor and gloves and opened the door. "What is it Brat?" he snarled.
Gohan cowered a bit as Vegeta glared at him. "Krillin and my daddy just came back. They're waiting outside," he said and ran away.
Bulma pulled on a skirt and a tank top and slid her feet into a pair of shoes. She pulled her long hair back and tied it with a piece of string, grabbing an elastic off the top of the dresser. "I'll braid my hair as we go," she said and walked out the door.
