Bulma Doesn't need a Vehicle anymore! Bandits suck.

"Hey Bulma, Now that you're strong enough, you think you're up to carrying the turtle to the sea with just your own strength?" I ask, wanting to give her more training.

She looks shocked, "Why would I want to do that?" She asks, confused by my question.

I grin at her, "You'll get even stronger if you carry that turtle durring a marathon to the sea. Don't you want to be stronger than that pip-squeak Goku over there?"

She frowns, seeming to think about it. I look at Bulma and will her power level into my field of view.

(Bulma Briefs Power level 61)

I then look at Goku.

(Son Goku Power level 220)

I internally shrug, knowing she probably won't catch up.

and then Bulma makes a decision. "Alright, fine. I'll carry the damn turtle if it means i'll be strong enough eventually to not be a bu-- never mind."

I know she was about say she was a burden, so I go over and try to cheer her up.

"Bulma, you aren't a burden, and even if you were, you wouldn't be for long. If you ever think that again, I'll train you into the ground til' you're stronger than a dragon!" I smile at her, and she blushes again.

"Darn handsome bastard, how can he make me feel like this?" I hear her muttering, but I don't respond, letting her assume I didn't hear.

She picks up the turtle on her back, and we start running towards the ocean.

Only to double back after five minutes after remembering to pack up the capsules.

"I can't believe we forgot those." I say, Scratching my cheek in embarrassment.

"No one is perfect, Itachi. I could clearly have remembered myself, but i didn't."

after packing up everything that was thankfully still there, we got a move on with the turtle still riding on Bulma's back.

I jog slowly for my level in order to let Bulma and Goku keep up. I have to remind Goku to stay together with us, while we run, because he has too much darn energy. But nothing i couldn't handle.

-7 hours later-

Bulma is flagging and it's starting to get dark again. We decide to put down another capsule house for the night, this time it's a small one. We all go to sleep for the night.

*BANG BANG BANG BANG*

I hear loud knocking on the back of my room, and the sound of punches being knocked out at the speed of sound. "OH NO! OH NO!" I hear the voice of Turtel the turtle and Immediately get up, opening the door. I see Turtel, rushing towards me, while a man armed with a machete rushes forward to grab him. I jump forward, and immedaitely punch his head off easily. Rushing towards Bulma's room, I kick it down, as I see bulma crying in the corner, with another bandit with a hole in his chest.

Bulma's arm is covered in blood and she is crying. There's some vomit in the corner of the room. "I'm sorry I didn't notice anyone break in," I say, feeling guilty for not being able to help.

She wipes her eyes and says while trembling, "It's okay, I have never killed anyone before. but I'll be fine."

I lean over and put my arm around her shoulder, and she nuzzles her head onto my shoulder, and cries until she falls back asleep. I scout out the rest of the house, and am able to find a sleeping Goku with a bunch of unconscious thugs around him. Taking the chance, I drag them out, Kill them, and blast them with Ki to eliminate the bodies.

Goku shouldn't have to feel bad knowing that they are dead.

I return to where Bulma is and then go to sleep next to her while she sits, asleep, in the corner of the room.
