Chapter 20 - Chapter 020

With a great effort, Goku pushed herself forward indignantly and faced Vegeta's searing eyes. Her whole body raked with chills, and she could feel herself trembling. She felt like she needed to explain herself to him, but there was nothing to explain. She had done nothing wrong! The way he was looking at her this very moment made her feeling like throwing up. He looked absolutely horrified and disgusted by her.

"What are you doing here, Vegeta?" Goku finally asked, trying her best not to shake at the sight of Vegeta's piercing glare.

Up until recently, his anger would have meant nothing to Goku. She would have just shrugged it off, considering she was so used to Vegeta having a fowl temper most of the time. Now, just the look in his eyes was enough to catch her attention, and it literally destroyed all of her emotional barriers. Recently, it had been different, he had some sort over-powering control over her emotions.

She didn't understand why, or how for that matter, but she just felt… guilty, of what, she didn't know. She felt like she had been being deceitful to him, even though she had done nothing wrong at all.

Vegeta just kept glaring at her, so enraged that he couldn't even muster a haughty reply, like his usual self. He was practically seething in anger, and like Goku, he was confused to no end as of why.

Koshin pulled himself up into a standing position, and just stood off in the sidelines, dumbfounded. Does Goku already have a boyfriend? he thought disappointedly.

Goku clenched her fists, and the thin delicate furry appendage that had been wrapped neatly around her slender waste lashed out violently back, and forth. It was truly an odd sight to behold, Vegeta had probably never seen Goku look this fierce, and if he wasn't so drowned in his own anger he might have actually been surprised.

Koshin took a step back at the sight. I thought that was just a belt! he thought in shock, looking at her tail curiously. She really is an alien! I thought she was just joking!

"Why are you looking at me like that, Vegeta?" asked Goku. "I've done nothing wrong!"

"You wench, don't lie to me! I saw what you and that weak human were doing!" Vegeta spat in return furiously.

Kami! Am I missing something? Is this guy an alien too? thought Koshin. This is crazy!

"Wench?" muttered Goku in disbelief. "How dare you call me that, it wasn't even what it looked like. He kissed me, I never returned the kiss back! Even if I did, it would be none of your business!"

Vegeta's scrutinizing eyes left Goku, and rested on Koshin.

Koshin took a nervous step backwards. He had both a hurt, and terrified look on his face at the same time. 'I really thought she was into me! Koshin thought in extreme disappointment, then he noticed Vegeta watching him, Holy shit! That guy looks like he wants to kill me!

Vegeta slowly approached Koshin, and lifted his right fist threateningly.

"Vegeta! What are you doing?" screamed Goku, chasing after him in an instant.

Vegeta pulled his fist back, and quickly launched it toward Koshin's jaw. Though, Goku quickly intercepted the attack by Instant Transmitting in-between the two, and blocking the blow with her right hand. Vegeta growled when he saw that she had protected the young Earthling.

"Get out of my way, Kakarrot!" he spat venomously.

"No!" yelled Goku standing her ground, and slapping Vegeta's fist away. "Koshin doesn't deserve this kind of treatment from you! He did nothing wrong! He just had the wrong assumption about what I wanted are relationship to be. He didn't know that I just wanted us to be friends, and you have no reason to butt into my business anyway!"

"I said, get out of my way!!!" screamed Vegeta in agitation, wacking Goku in the side hard with his left arm, and sending her careening into a nearby tree, toppling it over easily.

Koshin, although thoroughly disappointed at Goku, was appalled by Vegeta's harsh actions, and defensively stepped forward.

"How dare you hit a girl like that!" he yelled.

At the same moment, Goku sat up and shook her head back and forth in an animalistic sort of way. She looked on at Vegeta in shock, partly because of how rash he was being, and also because she would have never dreamed he would have cared about something like this. She hovered above the ground, and moved back toward the other two.

"No, Koshin, he doesn't think of me as a girl. Come to think of it, neither do I," stated Goku.

What the hell is she talking about? thought Koshin. Is this some weird alien thing?

"Yeah, well, you'd be surprised," muttered Vegeta, his voice just barely audible.

"What do you mean by that?" questioned Goku, her eyebrows furrowing together in confusion.

Koshin hadn't heard Vegeta because his human ears couldn't pick up that of a Saiyan's. So to him, things just got weirder and weirder. Don't tell me she's having one-sided conversations now!

"Nothing, now where was I?" pondered Vegeta mockingly, raising his fist again.

Am I missing something? thought Koshin. Oh crap! He's going after me again!?

"Wait!" shouted Koshin, waving his hands back, and forth frantically. "I think this is all just a big mistake. You see, I got the impression that Goku actually liked me… in that sort of," he cleared his throat, "way" he finished, lifting his index, and middle fingers on both hands, and bending them up and down in an odd signal Vegeta didn't understand.

"What the hell is 'that sort of way' supposed to mean?" asked Vegeta, mimicking the hand movement as he said it.

"You know, that waaaay," replied Koshin.

"Idiot," muttered Vegeta.

"Look, Vegeta, the only reason I made a move so early is because her friend, Bulma, told me she'd want it. I didn't know she had a boyfriend or anything, honest!" exclaimed Koshin in earnest, nervously backing away from the clearly agravated, and intimidating man standing before him.

"He's not my boy—wait—Bulma said what?" asked Goku, shock clearly evident on her face.

"Bulma…" growled Vegeta, lowering his fist, and hovering off of the ground.

"Wait, Vegeta, you don't…" began Goku.

But it was already too late, Vegeta had taken off, and was already out of hearing range.

"Well, sorry about all of this, especially that huge misunderstanding! Maybe we can spar some time, later!" said Goku extremely fast, and taking off after Vegeta.

"Um okay," mumbled Koshin. Man, I feel sorry for that Bulma girl, he thought, sighing in relief.
