Common Bond Chapter 10
"Vegeta, I'm serious. Goku's done a lot to help you and I. You need to thank him. He's been such a good friend to me, cheering me up while you were under and keeping me company. Do you realize he never left your side except for one night to go home and see Chichi? He was really worried and..."
"Alright...I get it. If you insist..." A light knock on the door preceded the entering of a nurse.
"Oh good, your awake. Nice to see you've started to recover. Let's see how those vitals are doing." Bulma moved off the bed as the n
In. Out. In. Out.
Breathe in, breathe out. I'm breathing on my own accord, so I must be alive...I think. But...there's no pain...to the contrary I feel pretty good. Still too weak though...did Bulma do it? Did she actually heal me? Deeper breath in, then back out. But where am I? I'm laying down so...
Vegeta's eyelids cracked open, then slammed shut again from the bright sunlight littering the room. Taking time to slowly adjust, the sleep-weary prince began to take in his surroundings...still in the same hospital bed, same ro
So relaxed. So utterly comfortable on the lumpy futon. Goku had gone too long without sleep, but now he could finally indulge in slumber. Nothing to worry about now, Vegeta was on his way to recovery. Laying under the cotton sheets that kissed against his bare chest, he let his eyes close and waited for sleep to take him.
Too soon, the door of the office-turned-apartment opened, sending a blast of light over Goku's closed eyes. An icy breath of air from the hospital's corridor followed, flowing over the languid body, causing eyes to open and stare at the darkened silhou
"Hello Ms. Briefs? I wanted to call to let you know where things stand. I dropped off the sample hormones at our lab just after I left the hospital, but our techs said it could take a week or more to break it down chemically, not adding in time for manufacturing." Naoki's soft voice flowed from the speaker portion on the phone in Donald's office.
"Are they kidding?! Vegeta has at most a few days...a week, if we're lucky."
"I know how unstable your husband's situation is, so I pushed for permission to have a team working on the sample 24/7. Hopefully it
By the time Goku returned from taking Tarble back to his home, Vegeta had already slipped into his restful coma.
"I'm sorry Goku, I wanted to wait until you got back, but Vegeta was in so much pain." As the two stood at the foot of Vegeta's bed, the emotional dam that Bulma had been holding back broke in a turbulent flood. Violent sobs racked her body, all the while being even more distraught over the simple fact that they had no cure yet in sight.
Goku pulled her to him in a comforting hug, trying in vain to quiet the desperate grieving. If it was all he could do to simply be t
"I'm laying here, dying, and you choose now to bring that up?" Defensively, Tarble crossed his arms over his chest.
"Doesn't really look like I'll get another chance, now does it?" Vegeta simply turned his head to face away from the visitor, hoping he'd take the hint and leave. To prove that he was worthy of an answer, Tarble silently stood his ground.
"What do you want to hear? The truth? I just didn't care to waste my time finding someone that wasn't strong enough to fight. There, satisfied?" The younger moved to sit in the chair that faced Vegeta's d
"It can't be empty! I didn't use it all!"
"It must have evaporated over the years." The two began a downward spiral of hopelessness, when Vegeta spoke up with a sarcastic tone.
"I thought you were supposed to be a genius...come on woman, figure this out." The slight challenge brought a ray of confidence back into her being. "Has anyone even thought about the Dragonballs, or am I just that much smarter than you two combined? They were the whole reason I came to this mud-ball of a planet to begin with." Bulma disappointedly shook her head.
"It's no good...remember a few months ago?
Bulma yawned as she glanced at the clock reading 3 am.
"Well, the lab won't open till 9 am to run those tests on Vegeta's blood. I'm gonna go lay down in the room next door...there's two beds in there..." Goku's longtime friend hinted, "Are you gonna come get some sleep?" The Saiyan looked back to the resting prince.
"Nah, I'll stay and keep him company." The familiar worried filled her still young looking face.
"Goku! You need to get some sleep! How many days have you been awake now?"
"But what if Vege
"Come on Kakkarrot! Stop playing with me and fight like a Saiyan!"
"I am!" thought Goku as he struggled to keep up with Vegeta's enthusiasm. An elbow landed in the back of Goku's neck, his thoughts distracting him. As the larger Saiyan was flung into a mountain-side, he couldn't help but wonder where this new found power came from. The sudden surge reminded him of the whole Majin episode. Something was definitely different about his sparring partner. Crawling out of the rocks, Vegeta blurred in front of him.
"Is that all t
