CATCH OF THE DAY: Chapter Ten

Disclaimers: Don't own anyone but Kage-chan, Ocarina, and Vegeta's daughter.
Warning: This is going to be a very dark chapter, with only the opening scene being nice and fluffy. Someone pissed me off quite a bit and this what came out of it. This chapter was originally going to be a bit fluffy and show babies being born and stuff, but I'm not in a fluffy mood. I feel like hurting people and poor little Veggie-poo is my target of choice even though he's my favorite character. So any Vegeta and/or Goku lovers better get your Kleenexes ready.
Author's note: This chapter starts a few days after the birth of Ocarina, Trunks and Piccolo's daughter. I was going to show the birth, but I just don't feel like it anymore. Look at the above warning for why.


Trunks gazed down into the crib at his two-day-old daughter, Ocarina. She looked like a green human with slightly pointy ears, dark blue hair, and a Saiyan tail with lighter blue fur. She already had a full set of teeth with sharp canines.
"She's adorable isn't she?" he whispered, trying not to wake her up.
"Yes she is," Piccolo agreed quietly, putting his arm around his mate's shoulders.
Trunks snuggled against him, sighing happily. Piccolo had come to live with him and everything seemed perfect. Little did he know that that perfection was about to be brutally shattered.
...
Goku stared at the door to Vegeta's room, his eyes bright with madness. Chi-Chi had started to appeal to him again, but the woman wouldn't give him what he wanted. She wouldn't touch him mentally or physically. What Chi-Chi wouldn't give him willingly he would take from Vegeta by force.
Goten was downstairs helping Chi-Chi with the dishes, leaving the little prince all alone in his room. Goku crept into the room, his unsuspecting prey fast asleep. There was only one more month to go before their baby was due and Vegeta had been tired a lot lately.
"Mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr," Kage growled as he came over to the bed. He grabbed the cat and flung her out of the room, closing the door so she couldn't get back in.
Vegeta gave a startled yip as Goku grabbed his arm and dragged him up, pinning him against the wall. He fisted one hand into the small man's hair and forced his head back, kissing him hard enough to bruise.
Vegeta instinctively reacted by using one of the dirtiest tricks in the book, one that few males would resort to using. He brought up his knee and slammed it into Goku's groin. Hard.
Goku yowled and staggered back, glaring at him angrily. "You're going to pay for that," he hissed.
He lunged forward and grabbed Vegeta's tail, squeezing hard enough to snap the delicate bones. Vegeta yowled and fell to his knees, tears of pain springing from his eyes. Goku came around to his front and slammed a foot into his ribs, snapping some of the bones and driving the shards deeply into some of his organs.
Vegeta fell the rest of the way to the floor, coughing up blood. Goku continued to viciously kick the prone man, loving the satisfying sounds of bruising flesh and breaking bones. Vegeta was in too much pain to even scream. All he could do was whimper and curl up into a ball, trying to at least protect his daughter from the mad man.
//If he kills her, I swear I will hunt him down and torture him to death,// was his last thought before he lost consciousness.

...
Goku blinked groggily a few minutes later, finally coming back to himself. He stared in sick horror at the bloody and broken body on the floor. He dropped to the floor, gently placing a trembling hand against his throat. He sighed in relief when he felt a faint, unsteady pulse.
He heard someone pounding up the stairs and turned just as Goten came into the room. "What have you done, Dad?" he whispered, staring at Vegeta. The others crowded into the room at that point, looking on in horror.
"I...I," Goku sobbed loudly before running out to the balcony and flying away.
...
"I don't think he's going to make it," Gohan said quietly. Vegeta was on one of the beds in the med lab, his many wounds bandaged and a couple of IV tubes in his arm. He was as pale as a corpse, his breathing shallow and labored.
"Dende," Piccolo said suddenly. "Dende could heal him."
"That's right," Trunks said excitedly. "Could you get him, Piccolo, please?"
The tall Namek nodded. "Of course."
"Well, you better do it soon. He doesn't have very much time left."
"Right," Piccolo said, nodding again. He gave Trunks a kiss goodbye and headed off to get the other Namek.
"How's the baby, Gohan?" Goten asked quietly. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, gazing at Vegeta with pain-filled eyes. He held a miserable looking Kage-chan in his arms, gently stroking her soft fur.
"She seems to be fine, but I think we're going to have to go ahead and take her out early," Gohan said, lightly gripping his little brother's shoulder. "He's got some bone fragments floating around in odd places that could end up hurting her. And...well...if he... dies...it will be the only way to save her.
Goten nodded numbly. "Please don't die," he whispered.
...
Goku stood out in the woods, suicide once again on his mind. This time Vegeta wouldn't come to stop him, and this time he hadn't bothered getting a knife. He would kill himself with his own power.
He took a deep breath and squeezed his eyes shut as he built up his power, keeping it contained within his body as he did so, directing the destructive energy inward.
//I'm so sorry, Vegeta. Please forgive me.//
