Dry Your Tears

AUTHOR: Angela the stupid whore (STUPID STUPID STUPID WHORE)
DISCLAIMER: Akira Toriyama owns DBZ, Canibus owns himself and the song, and Mandy owns the story.  I merely wrote it for her.
DEDICATION: To Mandy-kaasan.  Happy Birthday!  And sorry it's late, life got in the way.
RATING: Pg?  PG-13?  I have no idea.
DISTRIBUTION: Mandy can have it.  If anyone else wants it, I hafta make sure it's okay with her.  It is her story after all.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Mandy, this may not be what you expected (Vegeta and Canibus O_O), but it seemed to work.  I started on a Sorata/Kamui fic too, just for you.  But I need help with it.
Carolyn, Gillian, please don't kill me.  please?  It wasn't my fault, I swear!  ::hides behind Sorata::
Sorry to any Yamcha fans.  I love him, I really do, but he was the only one who could have done it, besides Roshi-san.  ::shudders::

We'll never part (through) sickness and health
You are my heart
I love you more than I love myself
But in the middle of the night
I heard you cryin' in your sleep
It'll be all right, I'll be there for you
If you tell me all your secrets
Yet in the middle of the night
I heard you cryin' in your sleep I held you tight
I'll be there for you......
If you tell me all your secrets

He heard the noises before they came.

Soft whimpers, not even enough to be called sobs. But he heard them.

He knew.

Cradling her body, limp with sleep but tense with fear, his voice, harshness hidden under velvet smooth love, comforted her.

She melted into his arms, still whimpering, clinging to his muscled body.

Eyes opened slowly, bringing her back to reality. Blue met black as their eyes locked, silence filling the room.

A blush colored her cheeks as she tried to get out of his arms, shamed that he had seen her like that.

Crying.

How long ago had she vowed to stop crying like that?

He wouldn't have it, holding her tighter. Her head lay against his bare chest, his face buried in her long blue hair.

She would give the world to stay like this forever.

He spoke finally, breaking her out of her spell.

"What was it this time?"

She cringed, expecting anger, but replied anyway, wanting him to know the truth. Tears spilled more as she spoke.

"When I was 15…"

She paused. Steeling herself, she spoke in a rushed whisper.

"Yamcha raped me."

She stopped holding back the tears, burying her head in Vegeta's chest further.

Suddenly she felt him shift, he hugged her close, letting her cry as his ki rose.

She looked up at him, afraid he was angry.

"Vegeta?"

He looked down at her, anger in his eyes.

She cringed, violently pulling herself out of his arms. She tried to leave the bed, shaking with self-hatred.

"Stop."

She turned, looking at Vegeta. He sat up in the bed, his ki returning to normal. She looked at him in confusion, her tears stopped.

"I'm going to kill him."

She stood there, unsure if she should believe him, when he stood up.

Lifting her slight frame, Vegeta brought her back to the bed, curling her up on top of him.

As sleep claimed her, he whispered, "When you cry I hear, and I wish I could dry your tears."

I should stay away from Canibus. But if anyone wants to hear the song, email me. I only could find it in Real format though, damn stupid people. I should get the CD though. Oh well. It's a pretty song. But I know, in the song the part I used is sung by a female. It wouldn't fit that way. Unless Vegeta wants to take up crying as a nightly habit. FEEDBACK IS MY FRIEND.

Sora: "What are you thinking about, Izzy?"

Izzy: "How nice it would be if a large digimon came and bit off your head."

Sora: "What?"

Izzy: "Oh, nothing. Lovely weather, huh?"
