Chapter 12

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bulma put a hand against Vegeta's chest, pushing him away from her. The gravity capsule had exploded, AGAIN! What had caused it? Vegeta had been with her. She wriggled out from under him just as he started to get up. She moved across the floor, dancing around the broken glass on the floor. Her bare feet were no match for the jagged pieces and she could feel the small cuts forming, but her curiosity drove her to the window. She looked out to see a form move from the wreckage. "Ah! Vegeta! There is someone down there!" She gasped.

To her surprise, Vegeta chuckled. "That damned Yamcha broke in and tampered with the consol last time it exploded. I fixed it so that he would receive the same fate."

Bulma whirled around to him, "YOU WHAT!?!?!" She screamed at him before tearing off down the hallway and outside. How could that idiot do something like that? He was a saiyan and he barely survived the explosion. What made him thing that Yamcha would!? Then again, it was Vegeta and he probably could care less about killing Yamcha and the drinking incident didn't help either.

She ran outside, not even thinking about putting on shoes, though the rocks tore at the open cuts that the glass had made. The body that she had seen moving before was on the ground, the hot flames stretched towards the air, licking at everything it could. She pushed at the rubble that surrounded the body. It was hot, and burned her hands. She felt a body behind her that pushed her away from the rubble. She fought against it, but it was too strong for her and pushed her hard. She landed on the ground, her hands skinning against the ground. She whipped around to see Vegeta lifting the body from the ground over his shoulder. He was helping. She jumped to her feet. The sound of sirens wailed in the distance. "We need to move him from the fire!" She said, before moving around to the front of the house. She turned around as Vegeta placed the body of the man on the ground. Orange clothing caught her eye. It wasn't Yamcha, it was Goku.

Vegeta had seen who it was before he had picked the body up. Kakorrot. He could feel his upper lip curl, but he knew if he left the body there, the woman would try to get him herself. That, and Kakorrot wasn't going to get out of their fight by getting himself killed by a machine. Once he had tossed the body on the ground he moved away, his back against a tree as he watched the woman fuss over Goku.

Bulma could feel tears in her eyes as she looked down at her oldest friend. "Don't die on me Goku! You stupid idiot! What were you thinking!?" Fire engine lights danced across the front of the house, the blaring sound making her ears ring as Vegeta stood back. His arms were folded across his chest as he watched the woman fuss over Kakorrot. There was always rage when he thought about the other sayian, but there was something else, something deeper. A flame that licked in the lining of his stomach as he watched Bulma jump into the ambulance with the useless fool.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The light was bright, and it took him a moment to completely open his eyes. He was in a stark white room. No way this could be home. His body hurt like after a good training session, that was a good kind of pain. The kind that you knew you had gotten somewhere with all your hard work. It wasn't until he shifted under the blankets did he feel the raw nature of his skin. He let out a slight puff of air in response to the stinging sensation across him. "Goku!"

The voice was high pitched and made him twitch slightly before looking over at the blue haired woman that he knew and loved. "Hey Bulma." However, he didn't get much past that.

"What the hell were you doing!?" She rounded on him. "Sneaking in the middle of the night into the pod when you know that we've been having trouble with it! The stupid thing exploded on Vegeta and I thought he was the only idiot who would crawl back into that thing, but no! You proved me wrong!" She sucked in air to get her second wind going, as Goku raised his hands at her to try and stem the flow.

"I was just looking for Vegeta." He said, trying to laugh off her anger towards him while he fought the stinging sensations that danced across his skin. "I reached for what I thought was the light switch-"

"DAMN IT!" She roared. She was pacing in the room. He had seen her like this before, and he had learned not to laugh at her to avoid getting into any more trouble. "Damn Vegeta rigging it like that!" She spat. "What if mom or dad had gone in there. Hell! What if I had gone in there!?! To think that I-" Her rant was halted as she stopped herself from saying the words. She was livid. She was going to sleep with a killer! A killer who had no qualms about doing it again!

Goku had blinked at her sudden arrest. "That you what?" He asked innocently, then instantly regretted it as she whirled back at him.

"None of your business!" She barked before storming out the door.

Goku blinked in the silence, suddenly left alone in the room. "That was strange." He looked over to the window to see nothing but a grey wall of another building. So much for looking at the sky. He looked down at his hands to see a tube sticking out of his arm. There was a piece of tape over where the tube and his arm connected. He pulled at the tape curiously to see a needle digging into his skin. He felt the room whirl and everything went dark.
