Twisted Souls
By: Meiko
Ramblings: Hello! Just a few quick notes before I let you read! First, I want to thank Adimra for asking me to post this on her site, it's truely a wonderful site. This is my first attempt at an epic, so I hope it turns out okay. This is a what if type story, and it focuses on Bulma and Vejiita. It takes place before Mirai Trunks arrives. Bulma and Vejiita are together, but their relationship is still a secret. Goku hasn't returned, but Dende has just created new dragonballs. OKAY I screwed up the timeline, consider this an alternate universe! Okay, this is rated PG-13 for language, violence and some MILD citrus (not the whole lemon) Finally **sighs** the disclaimer: I don't own DBZ or its characters, I'm sure you knew that. I do lay claim to the story, please don't sue me, you won't get anything! Now Read!!
Prologue: The Hearts Desire

Vejiita turned and watched her sleep, he had to smirk. 'This was definately not part of my original plan. But, no big deal.'
He slowly crawled out of bed and got dressed, careful not to disturb Bulma's peaceful slumber. He straighted a glove and took a final glance back. He almost hesitated, 'Kuso!' he cursed himself, 'I knew she would do this to me! I've become weak, having second thoughts! No! I won't let her, or anyone else stop me!' he smirked, 'I will finally make my wish.'
Without another look back, he blasted off the balcony and took off to make his wish.
It didn't take him long, he had gathered all of the new dragonballs one by one, nobody noticed, nobody cared. Not even the little Dende noticed his newest creations had been stolen. Finally, without anyone to stop him, Vejiita would get his wish. "Eternal Dragon! Come forth and grant my wish!"

Bulma yawned lazily, she looked at the clock, "Kami! It's already past noon!"
She bolted out of bed, "It's just like Vejiita to leave without saying good bye!" She hurried and got dressed and ran downstairs to find her mother downstairs, "It's about time you got up dear." she said in her too cheery tone.
Bulma frowned, "Why didn't you wake me up!"
Mrs. Briefs shrugged, "I figured you could take care of yourself."
Bulma sighed, "Have you seen Vejiita?"
This caught Mrs. Briefs' attention, "No. Why? You never really cared before." suddenly, she smiled, "You know what?" Bulma shook her head, "I think he likes you, the way he picks on you and teases you. Its kinda cute."
Bulma tried hard to laugh, if only she knew the truth. "Yeah right." Bulma said, "He's just being himself."
Mrs. Briefs shook her head, "I don't know... after you broke up with Yamucha."
Bulma rolled her eyes, "Enough mom, I have work to do, and now that I'm behind, I'll never catch up."
Bulma left the kitchen, smiling to herself, she could never stay angry at Vejiita for long.

The sky darkened and lighting struck. Vejiita was still in awe, even though he had seen it several times before. Soon, the sky was filled with a magnificent dragon. "Who has summoned me?"
"I have!" Vejiita replied, becoming excited about his wish.
"I will grant you three wishes, Now make them and I shall leave!"
Vejiita smiled, "My first wish is that you make me Immortal!"
"It is done!
Vejiita screamed as he felt new power surge with in him, a mixture of pain and energy in him. He was immortal. He took a moment to examine himself, He smirked, he wasn't much different, he just had his tail back. His train of thought was inturrupted by a large voice, "Make your second wish!"
'Impatient lizzard!' Vejiita smiled anxiously, "I wish that only I may use your dragonballs at my hearts desire!"
"Your wish is granted."
Vejiita smiled, now no one could undo his wishes, "And finally, I wish that the entire universe and all its inhabbitants know me as their king and supreme ruler!"
"So be it!"
* * *
Bulma dropped what she was doing, "Oh Kami no!" she screamed. For some reason, a voice in her head told her that she was to bow down to Vejiita; that he was immortal. And for some reason, she knew it was right.
"He used the dragonballs! That son of a bitch betrayed me!"
There was nothing else she could do, so she fell to the floor and wept.
