She was worried. Why was this happening to her? She had dealt with his odd
behavior before- his dark moods, his insults- for  she had seen the
glimmers of warmth he had shared with her. 
He had changed a lot since she had first met him all those years ago.
His only interest then had been to be the strongest warrior in the galaxy,
yet he had shown her a different side.
He consistently tried to help her with the dishes, though he managed to break 
a few in the process while threatening to blow the 'damned machine' up if  
it did not work properly.  She could still see the repairman's face,
shocked yet curious,
 when he saw the hole in the dishwasher. 
She closed her eyes, holding him tight, wishing to God that all this
nightmare would 
just be a bad memory. Admiringly stroking  his muscular physique, her hands
wandered up his frame, finally resting  on his chest, muscular and warm.
A strong hand pushed both of hers aside as he woke up screaming gibberish. She
tried to hold him down, but was too weak. He woke up bewildered, 
though fortunately in control of his actions.  His eyes darted
back and forth with expectation and dread.  His body jerked up sitting
on the edge of the bed.
Getting up herself, she gently hugged him from behind. "Are you all right?"
"Shut up, woman! This does not concern you," he snapped, roughly pushing  
her aside. He stood, then  started walking towards the bathroom.
Her shock turned to anger as she yelled, not caring who listened,
"You insensitive animal!"
While in mid stride, he jerked his head back, flashing her a look,
tranforming 
her anger  into shock, for she had never seen that emotion on her
husband before. What did it mean?  She got out of bed and rushed towards the 
bathroom. Her heart, beating the drums of war, was about to explode. She
could 
not imagine what was wrong, and why he would not tell her.

As she entered the bathroom, she found the water running. A cold breeze
bit her face, and she glanced at the open window. "Stubborn man," she
thought as she walked towards the open pane and closed it. She saw him
flying towards his training room.
"My handsome man, If only you would live
your life and stop trying to be the best. Then maybe we could live ours,"
she murmured as she gave a 
private sigh. Closing the drapes, she gingerly slipped out of her night gown, 
placing it on a hanger, and entered the shower. "I'll have to talk to that 
psychologist. Maybe she can help."
The freezing water cut her like a knife and she quickly pushed the off button.
"Curse you and your ego, Vegeta, for doing this to me!" She adjusted the
temperature of the water, then started her shower. "Damn, this will be
a long day," she thought as she began to lather her long hair, "a long
day indeed!"
