Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ A Hellish Paradise ❯ Chapter 5 ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter 5

 

 

“How could you do this Vegeta?” Kakorrot asked in an angry voice. He stared at Vegeta in disbelief. Vegeta looked behind Kakorrot to see what it was that had bothered the other Saiyan. Behind him he saw the door to the lesson room was open.

 

Vegeta sighed, so that was why Kakorrot was acting so upset. Vegeta silently wondered if Napa had done anything to the other Saiyan involving a lesson room. Vegeta unknowably clenched his fist at the thought. “Kakorrot those rooms are meant for disobedient slaves.”

 

Kakorot seemed unconvinced, “people Vegeta, they're people. You have no right.” Vegeta stared at the low-class Saiyan stunned. `Why the hell would he care so much? He seemed to care about everyone but himself. He held slaves and kings on equal grounds.'

 

“Kakorrot, it's the way we are. It's expected.”

 

How could he explain to such an innocent that he had to cause pain? “In this place you can either suffer or bring suffering,” He gave Kakorrot the same lecture his now deceased father had give him so long ago. “A Saiyan choices not to suffer.” Vegeta grunted silently at the untruthful words that he had just muttered. Most of the Saiyans were now dead. Those that weren't lived hard unfruitful lives. `Better dead then enslaved,' he decided.

 

Kakorrot shook his head, “No Vegeta you're wrong. There is another choice. You don't have to hurt others to keep from being hurt Vegeta.” Vegeta shook his head at the fool hearted Saiyan. `You're wrong Kakorrot, there isn't another way.' Vegeta still remembered the painful beatings he had received from his father when he was younger.

 

It was after some of his first missions. He had either not done a good enough job or hadn't done the job at all. His father had been furious that he hadn't wiped out the plant's population as he was ordered to. It didn't take many times for him to learn the lesson. Life kills to survive. Those stronger are meant to survive and those who are weak fall.

 

“You know nothing Kakorrot! You do not know this place, whatever deceptions were put into your head by those thieves that robed you of your heritage are wrong. There is no other way here!” Kakorrot seemed saddened by Vegeta's words, “Vegeta…” The larger Saiyan's eyes filled with pity. Vegeta spat, great a low-class pitying a Prince. Kakorot came slowly towards him. “Vegeta you don't realize,” Kakorrot placed a hand on Vegeta's shoulder. Kakorrot's eyes were soft and Vegeta didn't like it. “You don't realize what life can bring.”

 

~~~

 

Goku stared into Vegeta's eyes. What had been done to the Prince to make him think this way? “Vegeta,” his anger towards the other Saiyan melted away. “You don't realize,” his mind made up he walked quietly over to the Prince. He slowly placed a gentle hand on the Prince's shoulder. He frowned slightly at the look of surprise that filled Vegeta's face. “You don't realize what life can bring.”

 

Vegeta grunted, “and what would you know of life?” Goku stared at the beautiful Saiyan Prince. He loved him, he realized. He hadn't known the Prince for long but already he felt a connection to him. Goku gently cupped his hand to Vegeta's face.

 

He expected Vegeta to pull away but was surprised to find the Prince didn't. Goku wasn't certain if Vegeta allowed his touch because he didn't mind it or he was simply shocked by it to the point he couldn't move. Goku leaned closer bringing his face about an inch away from Vegeta and paused, waiting. Vegeta still didn't pull back. Goku tilted his head to the side capturing Vegeta's lips in a soft gentle kiss.

 

~~~

Vegeta stared into Kakorrot's eyes. What was the baka's point? It made no sense. The other Saiyan's touch intrigued Vegeta. It wasn't a harsh touch but gentle and kind. Not like Vegeta was used to. Vegeta silently decided to let Kakorrot precede and see what he was doing.

 

Kakorrot brought his face up until it was almost touching Vegeta's face. Vegeta waited and then Kakorrot leaned over genitally brushing his lips against the others. Vegeta blinked, surprised by the kiss. He flinched despite himself, Freaza's image flashing in his mind. Not that this was anything like that. It certainly didn't hurt. In fact it was pleasant. A type of pleasure new to the Prince. Vegeta closed his eyes, his lips moving against Kakorrot's all on their own.

 

Then the connection left and Vegeta was alone. Kakorot turned away from him, “Vegeta, I'm sorry. I had no right.”

 

“Baka, if I had wanted to stop you I would have! Now come back here. It's about time we got some sleep.” Kakorrot looked back at the other, his eyes lighting up. “Then you're not mad?”

 

“The only thing that is making me mad is that you're continuing with this foolishness. Now come on, we'll have to share a bed.” Then uncertainly he added, “I let you kiss me, but don't go any farther then that understand Kakorrot?” The other Saiyan nodded.

 

Vegeta felt a bit of regret. He knew full well he was attracted to the other man but if they got into any type of a relationship one of them was going too get hurt. `The weak parish and the strong survive.' Vegeta's father's word echoed in his head. Compared to many of the fighters here Kakorrot was weak. Vegeta would have to protect him. He didn't know why but he had to.

 

`But is Kakorrot weak?' Vegeta hadn't forgotten how little damage Kakorrot had received at the end of Vegeta's ki blast. He believed that the testing done on Kakorrot as a baby was incorrect. He just didn't seem to be a low level.

 

Vegeta grunted kicking off his shoes and throwing the sheet back before climbing in. Kakorrot hopped in beside him instantly snuggling up to the small Prince. Vegeta growled warningly, to tired to make any farther protest. The fact that he liked the contact didn't help ether. Vegeta knew the consequences of his feelings. He knew he could not let them go any farther.

 

It had been quite a day. He never would have thought it would end with him snuggled in the tiny bed with Kakorrot. Sadly, he would soon find the day was not yet over.

 

~~~

 

Freaza stalked down the halls. It was late and almost everyone was asleep. Those who remanded in the halls pressed close to the walls when they saw Freaza coming. No one would dare get in his way. Freaza smirked as he neared his destination.

 

He stopped in front of a door and it slid open. He calmly walked into Vegeta's chambers. The Saiyan Prince was asleep in his bed. Freaza's smirk turned to a frown as he came closer to Vegeta.

 

There was someone else there as well. A man he hadn't seen before. Freaza smiled staring down at the beautiful creatures before him. He decided this could work in his favor, one way, or another. He put a clawed hand on Vegeta's arm digging into the Saiyan's flesh to awaken him.

 

~~~

 

Vegeta's eyes snapped open at the cold all too familiar touch. “Hello my Princeling,” Freaza snarled in a putrid tone. Vegeta was entirely aware that Kakorrot still lay curled up beside him. “You didn't tell me you had a new toy,” the tyrant purred.

 

His clawed finger traced along Kakorot's face. The larger Saiyan shivered, “Vegeta?” Kakorot questioned still deeply shielded in sleep. Vegeta didn't answer him but repositioned himself to create a barrier between Kakorrot and Freaza.

 

Freaza frowned, “now Princeling what's wrong? We can share.” Vegeta growled threateningly despite himself. He'd never acted this way towards Freaza before. Freaza only smiled a cruel smile. “Very well Princeling, you may have him. But I will be seeing you tomorrow then, understand?” Vegeta nodded his choice made. He would keep the other Saiyan safe, at any cost. Freaza laughed as he left the room. Kakorrot shivered again in his sleep moving closer to Vegeta for warmth.

 

~~~

 

Goku awoke startled. He'd heard someone coming in. He looked over at Vegeta, the Prince was asleep. Someone was defiantly at the door. Goku sat up flicking on a light. One of the strangest creatures he'd ever seen stood in the doorway.

 

It's skin was gray silver. It was small, about the size of an eleven-year-old human boy. His eyes were pure white and had no pupil. It was easy to see that he wasn't blind because his eyes were wide with fear as he stared at Goku frozen in place.

 

Vegeta muttered beside the other Saiyan. “Kakorrot turn the dammed light off. It's just a slave, probably refreshing my supplies.” Goku's eyes lit up and he climbed out of bed, much to Vegeta's dismay.

 

“Kakorrot what the hell are you doing?” Goku turned back to Vegeta to find the Saiyan Prince sitting up. “Well, he looks scared. I'm just going to see if he's alright.” Vegeta muttered something that sounded a lot like baka under his breath and lay back down. Goku smiled moving closer to the small slave.

 

The slave instantly moved back until he was pressed against the wall. He shivered, “Pl-please Master, I'm sorry.” Goku sighed sadly staring down at the boy. He knelt until he was eye to eye with the small slave. “Hey it's okay, you don't have anything to be sorry for. My names Goku what's yours?”

 

Vegeta sat back up and snorted, “Goku? Were the hell did that absurd name come from?”

 

“It's my Earth name, Vegeta.” Goku turned back to the boy. “Sorry about that. Now what's your name?” The boy gulped, “It's Nayo, Master Goku.” Goku sighed, “I'm not your master Nayo, you can just call me Goku.”

 

Vegeta grunted from the bed but made no farther comment. Nayo stared up at Goku not answering. He had remarkably long hair of a pure black tone and he had tuffs of black hair on his wrists and ankles. He wore a pair of white shorts and the rest of him was bare. No shirt, no shoes, the poor kid must be freezing! Goku smiled down at him. “Don't worry about Vegeta, he acts all mean but he's really nice.”

 

“No I am not Kakorrot!” Vegeta wailed from the bed. Goku laughed, Nayo smiled ever so slightly. Goku's stomach chose that moment to growl. Goku looked down at it with a frown. “Oh I guess I'm hungry, ah Vegeta where's some food?

 

Vegeta moaned refusing to give up the fight for sleep. “The slave can show you Kakorrot.” Goku thanked him though with a little bit of resentment at how easily the word “slave” rolled of his tongue.

 

“Hey Nayo, you hungry?” Nayo nodded eagerly. He led Goku over to a small refrigerator that was stuffed with food. Goku quickly emptied the contents of the fridge making sure that Nayo got as much as he wanted. All in all however, Goku ate much more then Nayo. “Wow you eat as much as a Saiyan!” Nayo said in an awed voice.

 

“He is a Saiyan, slave,” Vegeta growled in an angry threatening voice. Nayo's face became crowded with fear.

 

“Vegeta calm down! He couldn't have known that. Give the kid a break.” Goku's voice was filled with anger at the Prince. How could he treat another person like that! Had someone treated him like that?

 

Vegeta snorted but refused to give any kind of understandable answer. His main objective at that moment was still sleep. Goku looked over at Nayo.

 

“I'm sorry,” the slave muttered in a quite voice. He was tense, scared to death of Goku. Goku found he was disgusted by himself, and Vegeta's attitude towards the boy. “No, I'm sorry Nayo, you don't deserve that.” Goku smiled trying to reassure the boy that it was okay.

 

Nayo looked up at him with startled eyes. “I don't mean any disrespect but I thought all the other Saiyans were dead.” Goku looked to Vegeta for the answer but found he was asleep again. Goku decided it would be best not to wake him up again.

 

“Well I don't really know much about it. Come to think of it I don't know anything about Saiyans! Vegeta would know but he seems pretty tiered so I don't want to wake him. I'm going to go to bed now too. If you want to stay here you can.” Goku yawned tiredly.

 

“Ah no thank you,” Nayo said eyeing Vegeta with worried eyes. His fear of the Saiyan Prince was plain even to Goku. “Alright Nayo, good night.” Goku crawled over Vegeta then lay down with another yawn.

 

~~~

 

Nayo hurried out of the two Saiyans' room with many questions in his mind. He'd been serving the Saiyan Prince for some time now. The Prince didn't know this, of course. Nayo made sure to do his work when the Prince was gone or asleep. He'd heard the Prince was a horrible kind and when he'd heard he was in charge of keeping the Prince's rooms stocked it had filled him with horror.

 

He'd been lucky. The Saiyan Prince had always been gone or asleep in the past when he'd come. Nayo liked this new Saiyan. He was safe, Nayo knew that. That was a rare thing around here. There weren't many people Nayo was safe with.

 

The question was, who was he and what was he doing in bed with the Prince of Saiyans? Nayo knew it was dangerous but he decided that tomorrow he'd come back earlier to see if he could talk to the Saiyan Prince and find out what was going on. He just hoped that Goku was around when he did go talk. He'd hate to meet the Prince alone. `Man I'm sure to get in big trouble for this.'

 

He quickened his pace. He still had six more rooms to go. One of the rooms was Freaza's and he really didn't want to catch him awake. He'd heard stories about Freaza that he'd never dare test. His pace quickened to a run but his thought's remained on the Prince and the strange newcomer. Tomorrow, he decided tomorrow.
