I have nothing

Trees were being obliterated one by one by an angry prince. He left Capsule Corps hours ago because he was beyond furious at one person. That one person being Bulma, and he decided it was best if he left Capsule Corps to cool off instead of stay at the house. If he had stayed he might have done something he would regret so he went to a nearby forest to blow off some steam. She had been so annoying and just so… clingy and needy lately and he couldn't understand why. That's not that woman he fell in love with, she almost seemed desperate now and his old Bulma was anything but that. Maybe they were just starting to grow apart. Maybe it was time to go their separate ways…'No, that won't be an option, it would hurt too much. Hurts just thinking about it' he thought.

"Am I better off dead?
Am I better off a quitter?
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her
As they take me to my local down the street
I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet"

Trunks had spotted his father and made a landing right beside him, holding his arm so he wouldn't fire another Ki blast. "Dad, there's something important that I have to tell you."

"Not now, I'm busy."

"But dad I have-"Vegeta gave his son a menacing glare which caused him to stop mid sentence.

"I said NO Trunks I don't have patients to listen to what you have to say right now."

"It's about mom though…"

"All the more reason, I don't want to hear anything about your mother at the moment. So either you leave or just be quiet."

"Ok dad…" Trunks sat down and crossed his legs, placed his arms on his knees and watched his father's every move. Although Trunks was only 7, he was not naïve and he knew when something was wrong with his parents. He always respected his father's strength and determination, but there were times that he hated how one minded he could be.

"They say a few drinks will help me to forget her
But after one too many I know that I'm never
Only they can't see where this is gonna end
They all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense"

After another hour of blowing everything up in sight, Vegeta turned to his son and saw much sorrow in his eyes now ice cold blue eyes. He sat down and crossed his legs and began to talk. "What is it you had to tell me?"

"She told me that it was very important that I give you" he pulled out a letter from his pocket "this."


"Dear Vegeta, I'm leaving. I don't know for how long yet but just don't expect me to be home any time soon. I'm tired of this; I can't and won't live like this anymore. I'd say don't bother looking for me, but I know you don't plan on it anyway. So for now, this is a goodbye."

His eyes widened in horror. He could not believe what he was reading. Was she being serious? Or was this some sick kind of joke? Either way he didn't like it. What had happened that she felt the need to leave?

"Get up Trunks we're going back to the house to find your mother. Go full speed this is important."

"Got it Dad!" A second later they both dashed into the sky heading for Capsule Corps. Vegeta needed to know what was going on. 30 minutes later their touched down at their destination and ran inside.

"Bulma! Bulma get out here now!" It was no use, the house was completely empty. There was no ki emitting from it at all. Was he really too late? 'I have to find her, I need to make things right.' He was scavenging through the house, and like he said there was no one.

"And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind turn it all around"

He looked in her home office, around the perimeter, everywhere. He even called her work office to see if anyone heard from her, nothing. He was starting to panic a bit now which worried Trunks, but he didn't say anything about it because he knew better.

"Dad, is mom coming back…" his eyes welled up with tears fearing he may never see his mother again.

"To be honest… I don't know. I'm to… distracted to concentrate on her Ki. And even if I wasn't distracted, her Ki is too small for me to lock on from a distance."

"But I love her dad; I need her to come back!"

"I love her too…" he said lower then a whisper. His heart ached for her right now; he just wanted to hold her and knew everything would be okay. He wasn't sure he would ever get that chance again.

"And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they're slurred
Dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing"

Suddenly it hit him! He knew where Bulma was, it had to be where she was! If she wasn't there then he really would never be able to find her, and by the time she came back it would all be too late. He grabbed hold of Trunks and flew off into the night sky, flying as fast as he could. 'Please…Please be there, if I lose you I'll have nothing…'

"So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences
I know if I faced her face, that she'll come to her senses
Every drunk step I take leads me to her door
If she sees how much I'm hurting, she'll take me back for sure"

"Hey mom I'm feeling a large Ki coming towards here. I think it's Vegeta. Do I answer the door?" Gohan asked his mother.

"Yes, but tell him to leave, he can't see Bulma like this." She cradled her long time friend in her arms, letting her cry out her pain. Chi Chi knew that Vegeta was the last person she would want to see. About five minutes later Vegeta was in front of the Son's house. He knocked on the door and as soon as Gohan opened it he pushed him to the side and walked in.

"Where is she?" he asked while scanning the room.

"Vegeta, I think it would be best if you leave."

"Not without Bulma, bring me to her now I won't ask again!"

"Calm down Vegeta, look right now isn't a good time."

"I don't give a damn what you have to say, I want to see her!"

"And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over the town
I'm swearing if I go there now
I can change her mind turn it all around"

Bulma appeared from one of the doors with blood shot eyes. She had been crying for hours it seemed. She didn't advance toward him; she stayed in her spot looking straight at him.

"Bulma! Good I found you, let's go."

She said nothing in reply but her face said it all, and it said "no".

"And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words
And she'll listen this time even though they're slurred
Dialed her number and confessed to her
I'm still in love but all I heard
Was nothing
She said nothing
Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh, I got nothing
I got nothing
I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh I got nothing"

"Did you not hear me? I said we're going."

"I'm not going anywhere with you Vegeta." She looked down and covered her eyes with her hands and spilled the few remaining tears she had left. He had not once seen her like this before and it killed him inside, especially knowing he was responsible for it.

Trunks was in a corner next to Goten looking back and forth from Vegeta to Bulma. The room was silent, the tension increasing every second.

"Bulma" he took one step forward holding his hand out and she took one step back. They were about 10 feet apart and Bulma wanted to keep it that way. "Why are you so upset?"

"Who are you trying to kid? You know you don't care for me!"

"What that's absurd Bulma."

"No it's not Vegeta! You don't love me anymore! It feels like I've gone through months without talking to you let alone see you and you could care less. All you do is train all day, come into the bed in the middle of the night and leave before the sun rises! I think about you every second of the damn day and you don't even give me a passing thought. That's what hurts the most Vegeta, knowing that you don't see me the way you use to, so you push me aside like I was never even here! I love you and knowing that you don't in return is killing me. I needed to leave the house to find myself again and see where I want to go from here."

"Bulma, I'm sorry you feel this way. I do take blame as it is true that I haven't been there for you. But I do love and care for you. It's just hard for me to show and give love when my whole life, all I was given was pain. This 'love' is still foreign to me and I can't promise I'll be that prince charming you have always dreamed about. Hell, I know I won't be. But you have my word that I will try. So please, come home. If not for me then for Trunks, he needs you."

"Vegeta… did you just call it… home? You've never said that before. Do you mean that and everything else you said?"

He crossed his heart and held his right hand. "You have my word." He extended his arm to her. "Bulma my mate, will you come home?"

She hesitated at first, but decided to accept. She placed her hand in his and he pulled her into his embrace and kissed her on the lips. "I love you" he whispered, then gave her a tiny small. Bulma broke down into tears once more.

"What's wrong?"

"I love you too much"

"Is that a bad thing?"

"No, if I didn't have you I would have nothing,"

"Hey Bulma you know what, why don't you let Trunks stay here tonight? So you can have the night to yourselves?" Chi Chi asked knowing Bulma would just want to be alone with him tonight.

"That'd be great thanks Chi! Goten can sleep over my house tomorrow when I pick up Trunks."

"YES" the two sayian hybrids gave each other a high five.

With that being said, Vegeta lifted Bulma into his arms and headed back to Capsule Corps, with only the stars and the full moon lighting the way.
