Chapter 3 – It’s Not in the Cards
Waking in the cut lines of night, I have not realized how early I did go to bed previously. The night was pure, and the moon was already low in the sky. What had I missed, apparently nothing. Life was dull, dead, deceased. Everything was just not exciting as they used to be. No more battles, no Chi-Chi to yell at me, no sons. I lost everything, everything making life not worth living for.
I stayed up through the endurance of midnight and had my self a snack; I started up the stove, and let it burn hot. I just let the stove run without putting a pan on it or anything in the oven. I just stared and wanted the heat to flow against me. It felt better now, it was so cold outside. The leaves were falling, making way for autumn, and the air was getting colder and thicker by the day.
Before I knew it, tears began to fall, streaming down my face. My face felt hot and flushed. I was dying inside as I knew it. I had nobody, after everything I’ve done for them; they decide to leave me with absolute nothingness. I hated them for making my life this way, why did I ever even want to save their pitiful lives. I just don’t know how any of this even happened.
I heard the night’s soft whimpers, and just stared out the tiny window. I want somebody, I need somebody. If life was over, why would I even be here. Everything was bound to be forgotten, or I would have to learn that. My whole life is going to end in a result of just having nothing.
I remembered that the stove was still on, so I ran to it and turned the signal off. The hut was warm now, but I still was hungry. Then I remembered that Gohan left a big fish with me, now where did I put that thing? I walked outside, letting a shiver generate from my body taking in the sharp chills. I looked around, then seeing the big fish over by the river; I smiled and went over to it.
Luckily no birds came down to feast upon it. I leaned in to pick it up, but no strength in me even had a chance to lift it. I fell over, realizing that my hunger was pushed aside long enough. I fainted and the darkness took me to rest.
Waking up, my eyes never opened. I just nearly felt my surroundings; I noticed I was on my bed. Wondering how I ever made it over here when I fainted, I could’ve never made the strength to walk all the way in here. It was all so confusing, what has happened since then. My eyes were still closed up, and I couldn’t fully awake myself. I’m so hungry, but I don’t even know if there is any energy in me to even get that again. I fainted right when I was about to grab that fish, and all is lost.
Maybe this is where it ends, death of hunger. How pathetic can this part of my life be? I need fuel, why now? This is probably where the world wouldn’t need me anymore. It’s just fates way of telling me my time is up, where I could still be able to be active and be the hero I always was. This is horrible, my muscles ached, and my head was possessed by a pounding headache. And no muscle was able to move an inch.
I see a shadow, like a dark angel arriving to take me out of my misery now. I even feel its hand touching my forehead, and it’s dark orbs transferring from my attention. I was dead, this couldn’t have been a dream. It felt to real.
“Kakarott.” The voice said, I nearly screamed. But I couldn’t because my state is in restrain. No, it can’t be. There is only one person right now, who would ever know that name, unless. Is this Saiyan heaven? No, there can’t possibly be such a ridiculous thing. But before I knew it, I found myself accepting the voice and finally opening my eyes to see his face.
“Vegeta, is that you?” I asked him weakly. My eyes were blurred preventing me from seeing his face completely. I had tears forming in the corner of my eyes, making my vision even more blurred out. When I regained full consciousness, but no energy, I see his face, smiling down on me.
“Yes Kakarott. You okay?” He said, the voice he carried made me feel at home, and even safe. Knowing Vegeta, he was always one to give me the impression that the only thing he wanted to do was rip me to shreds, and defeat me at all costs. But why in the world was he here, how can there be an answer for his completely unexpected appearance.
It was so puzzling; he usually doesn’t want anything to do with me, unless it’s for fighting. But this is the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me. Vegeta, has come to my aide? It was unreal. “You just passed out for awhile, I made you something to eat. You should really get something to eat.” He said, his voice making me warmer and warmer. I smiled with all the energy in my face. He then brought a plate over that had mashed potatoes, fish, and corn. I was so happy that I could eat again. I took a big bite out of the potatoes to let myself know that my hunger will end. I took my time with my plate, usually I would eat like a maniac, but even I couldn’t do that right now. He sat on the bed, looking around the cramped hug, then every other moment he would look back at me and give me a hot smirk.
I finished finally, setting the plate down on the tiny end table, which Vegeta took over to the sink. The tiny house had a small kitchen, it wasn’t completely cramped, it was big enough for anyone to live in. Which I guess Vegeta found to accept. Reminding me still, I was incredibly confused as why Vegeta even came over here in the first place. So I needed to know right forth. “Vegeta, can I ask you something? But try not to take it personally.” I asked him softly, I sent off the good vibes of my aura to let him know I was appreciating everything he is doing for me right now.
“Oh, what’s that Kakarott?” He said glancing over at me quickly. I smiled again for him briefly.
“Why exactly are you here?” I asked trying not to sound cold. But he knew as hell what I was talking about. He may not be the nicest person around, but he had his days. But it was a little scary for me to think as why he would just show up here and take care of me. This is probably one of the random acts of Vegeta. Which frightened me at some degree.
“Well, it’s hard to explain. Things weren’t going so well with Bulma, so I decided to leave at some point.” He told me plainly. I didn’t know that something has gone wrong between him and Bulma, but I wonder what did exactly happen? It couldn’t have been money issues because Vegeta didn’t care about that stuff, it couldn’t have been something about there kids because they never did anything wrong. Even if they did I would still be sure that that wasn’t the case.
“Well, what exactly did happen.” I asked him, he can’t just say that, because it didn’t make sense. From the feeling and impression I was getting I was dead sure he would not blow off Bulma for me.
“Nothing, just issues, now that’s enough. I don’t want to talk about it anymore!” He said, I backed down a bit. Wow whatever did happen up at the Capsule Corp, it was something really serious. But I’m still not able to figure out what could’ve possibly allowed them to separate. They were the perfect match if you ask me, never before could they find something that could drive a wedge between them.
Vegeta changed, he calmer, sweeter, and a little less irritated. It was strange; I like this side of him. It also scared me though; it was completely unlike him to be this way. Didn’t his separation with Bulma upset him not one single bit. “Hey Kakarott, Where’s your bitch of a wife at?” he asked. I was afraid he would, but I have nothing to hide form him now. But hey maybe I won’t tell him since he won’t tell me what happened with his family.
“Not telling, unless I get a complete answer from you Vegeta.” I said smartly.
“Ugh, never mind! Who cares about your stupid wife anyway.” He said with the raspy voice he unlocked again. I guess he really doesn’t want me to know what happened between him and Bulma. I don’t blame him, I don’t really want to bring up Chi-Chi either. I somehow managed to already get over her.
“Well Vegeta, I don’t blame you for not wanting to bring up Bulma, but that’s the same way I am right now with Chi-Chi. I guess we both received the change of our lives.” I told him. He looked over at me sitting on the bed again with a returned smile.
I gave him one back to him as well. We stared at each other for awkward but initially strange moments. Then I spoke.
“Thanks for dinner, Vegeta.” I said
TBC…
Author’s Note – Yeah I know, get rid of the wives so they could be together, blah blah blah. I’m such a typical writer. But hey I hope you like it so far. I’m doing the best I can, considering I can only write this one in school which is not my best writing environment. I write at my best on my bed in my room. Well for a quick preview on this one, Goku and Vegeta are apparently going to work together for a certain purpose. They live together and live a very bumpy life. This story will get hot I promise. But sadly this story has a very long way to go. I hope you would be okay with that. The Mature Reader rating will soon be relevant to the story’s content. So don’t be like, why is this rated M when there’s nothing bad in here? It will all come together. I would love to hear reviews from ya’ll.
To Reviewers – I’m glad you are getting into it and you are waiting for my updates, I just wanted to say thank you so much for them. They are so awesome.
To LMK – You know I love your initial story “Planet Vegeta: Final Rewrite” so I am taking just tiny bits of that story and giving my story just a little bit of what your story has. Don’t worry I’m not a copier, I just love taking ideas and repainting over them. I love you so much, and I can’t wait for your updates. Also I wanted to be able to contact you, so I will e-mail you every once in awhile to catch up with you. But also, I’m a bit depressed too, so don’t feel bad. A lot of writers usually suffer from depression and they feel that writing is their only way out of that certain sadness. I feel the exact same way right now. Just keep doing what you are doing, and I’ll be right alongside of you.
Thank you and look forward to the next chapter.
