Young Love

Chapter 20

Outside the rink

Bulma sat in the car besides Vegeta. She had to admit that this was a fun date he had taken her on, even though he was quite the little pervert.

The two of them sat cozily in the front in silence.

" I really had fun Geta, thanks for taking me out." Bulma beamed as she looked at Vegeta.

He nodded trying to play it off but was failing miserably. He was glad that Bulma had enjoyed herself. She deserved it, after all it was his duty to make her happy.

Then earlier popped up into his mind as he frowned slightly. The blunette noticed the sudden change of behavior immediately.

" What's wrong?" Vegeta looked at her, debating whether to tell her or not.

He just didn't want her stressing out over him more than she usually did. He felt an hand on his arm as he looked into Bulma's worrisome eyes.

" It happened earlier before I came to pick you up."

Juu and 17's house

Vegeta sat there in the driveway, debating whether or not he should go see 17. They were at a point real good friends, but that was when he was...untamed one would say.

Him and 17 were still on good terms it's just gradually they went their own paths. 17 went with Mikito while Vegeta stayed with Bulma.

Vegeta got out the car as he made his way to the front door. 18 was the first to answer as she allowed him in.

" It's been awhile since you stopped by, but this visit was under special circumstances." She pointed her thumb down the hallway.

" I'm sure you can remember where his room is."

Vegeta nodded as he made his way down the hall. When he came to 17's room, he gave a knock before entering.

Nothing has really change since the last time he was here. The walls were full of posters of different types of weapons and his room wasn't that messy besides the few papers here and there.

17 was laying across his bed on his back shirtless. Vegeta noticed the bandages and the little blood the bled through them.

" It's been awhile, I'm surprised you came." The short haired man spoke up at the ceiling.

" You're still considered an old ally in my book." Vegeta came in, closing the door behind him.

" Same here. So how is that Bulma of yours doing you?" 17 sat up as he looked over to the older man.

Vegeta smirked which only made 17 laugh. The laugh turned into a violent hack as Vegeta came closer to the man. A hand was held up causing Vegeta to cease his movements.

" What type of bullet did they hit you with?" Vegeta immediately asked.

17 was sweating and his skin was slightly pale.

" A G-137."

Vegeta's eyes widened slightly but was able to maintain his composition.

" I'm fine now. Luckily Juu was able to tend to my wound otherwise..."

There was a short silence before the young Ouji spoke up.

" Whoever shot at you was definitely going for blood. The bullet seems to have gone dangerous close to your heart. If it had met it's mark plus the poison, it would've made quite the agonizing death."
