:: Telepathy ::

 

oOoOoOo

 

The Counsel elders were halted outside the double doors by the prince's guards. They needed to see the prince immediately. Apparently, Goku had sent Gohan back to Earth, via IT, to retrieve the rest of their family, so that they would be able to attend the crowning ceremony. However, Vegeta forgot to mention that he had another heir and the elders were in a bit of an uproar.

 

Well, Vegeta didn't forget, he just felt that it was none of their damn business.

 

“We're sorry but the prince is not to be disturbed at the moment, Sirs,” the taller of the two guards spoke.

 

“We don't care. We need to get this problem resolved and we need to do it now,” the new head elder demanded.

 

“Elder, please come back at a more convenient time,” the guard insisted.

 

The elders were growing impatient.

 

“Listen and listen carefully. If you want to continue your service to the prince, I suggest that you step aside and let us through this very instant,” another elder threaten.

 

The guards shook their heads. They were in a pickle. “Sirs, Goku left instructions-

 

“Goku??? That third-class soldier is nothing more than stress relief for the prince.” A sly smile crossed the elder's face. He was feeling a bit smug. He was not going to let some low class warrior turn things upside down.

 

“No disrespect to you but we heard that he was the prince's bonded mate.”

 

“Lies. Until we find Master Turlis and clear-up this situation, Goku has no authority over the prince's well being.”

 

The guards looked at each other. They didn't know what to do. They knew that Goku was Prince Vegeta's bonded mate; and it was only a matter of time before it was announced to the whole planet. They had no choice but to stand aside and let the elders pass. They just hope that the prince would not kill them for granting access into the arena when they were instructed not to.

 

oOoOoOo

 

Well, the good thing was that the doors were locked on the inside. The bad thing was that the elder's blasted the lock to get in and unfortunately, the noise didn't wake-up the two most powerful Saiyans in the universe. They were dead to the world.

 

All eyes looked around the war torn arena. There was not a place in there that was not singed, burned, cracked, or punched. Holes the size of Christmas were everywhere. What in the name of Kami happened here?

 

They cautiously made their way through piles of rubble that littered what seemed to be the floor, and being careful of the falling debris. Even some of the light fixtures were barely holding on by their wires. Heck, some of the lights were flicking off and on.

 

Surely, the prince couldn't have done all this damage by his self. He couldn't be that destructive, could he?

 

The group finally approached the sleeping couple and almost went into congestive heart failure.

 

“P-p-prinnce Vegeta! What's the meaning of this?!” the head elder barked.

 

Clearly, there had to be something on the books that says that the prince cannot fully engage in sexual activities with his `intended' before the crowning ceremony. Oh, for crying out loud this was absolutely too much.

 

The entire counsel stood motionless gawking at the nude figures on the floor. It was the only spot in the entire place that was not wrecked beyond repair.

 

One sleepy obsidian orb blinked opened. It was followed shortly by the other.

 

Holy, shit! Vegeta's not going to like this. Luckily, said royal was still knocked out.

 

Goku quickly IT them to their room and woke him up there.

 

He growled. Vegeta was not in the mood. Goku almost felt sorry for the counsel members. Well, almost sorry.

 

“Kakarott! You better have a very good explanation as why you are throwing clothes at me and for waking me up!”

 

“The Counsel barged in and I'm not sure-”

 

“SHIMATTA!!!”

 

Oh, boy. Goku watched his mate run into to the bathroom to take a quick shower and followed after him. The prince dressed in his formal attire. He was going to put a stop to this right now. They were ready and back into the training arena.

 

The Counsel stood there with unbelieving eyes as the prince and his `mate' vanished. Only to reappear within minutes fully dressed.

 

“What is the meaning of this?!!” Vegeta was on a very short fuse.

 

He just made-up with his mate and now their private time was being encroached on. His eyes flashed from black to teal to black again in a matter of seconds. Goku began stepping away. He wasn't going to be around when Vegeta exploded. They were practically at the same power level, but his stilled toppled the prince by a thousand. [ 1 ]

 

To the elders surprise they saw a flash of gold flicker through auburn hair. They took a step back. If they weren't careful as to what they say to the prince now, they might as well kiss their furry tails good-bye.

 

“Your Highness, it has come to our attention that you have another heir to the throne,” the head elder rattled off.

 

“So fucking what!!! You came in here just to tell me that!!!” Golden sparks began to crackle around Vegeta's body. “I'm quite sure that you were told at the door not to come in here, am I to assume that is correct”

 

Another flash of teal passed over onyx eyes as the prince looked to the guards, who shook their heads. Vegeta turned his attention back to the Counsel.

 

“I have had just about enough of you. It wasn't enough that I get attacked by that low life son-of-a-bitch Turlis and lost my child, which caused a serious rift in my relationship with Kakarott; but you also refuse to reverse the decision to pardon him until you hear his side of the blasted story.

 

Even after you had heard the testimony from Bulma, Raditz, and Kakarott…” Vegeta's power lever was starting to spike. “…And now, you come in here when you were told not too!!!”

 

Uh-oh, watch out. In a fit of rage the prince transformed and took a menacing step toward the Counsel. The elders couldn't believe it, a legendary Super Saiyan. The prince's power was overwhelming. They didn't need scouters to see the amount of energy radiating off of him.

 

“Now, give me one good fucking reason why I shouldn't obliterate all of you?”

 

The elders were speechless. They couldn't come up with one single answer.

 

“That's what I thought.” Vegeta stretched out his left arm with his palm out. “BIG!”

 

But before he could finish the custom attack several bodies ran into the arena. “BANG!”

 

“Otousan!”

 

“Dad!”

 

Vegeta turned around and saw both his offspring as well as the rest of the Z gang which included Raditz and Zarbon.

 

Bulma not one to hold her tongue went straight to it. “Vegeta, what do you call yourself doing?”

 

Hell, not now. Not in front of them. “What does it look like I'm doing woman? I'm about to have a barbecue.” The energy was still gathered in his hand.

 

“Goku?”

 

“I uh, I'm not really involved in this Bulma.” Goku pleaded with her with his eyes not to get him into trouble.

 

“Otousan, you know you shouldn't get rid of the Counsel. What would our people say to such an act? You know that there's more than one way to skin a cat” Zarra said eyes dancing with devilment. She couldn't stand the members either. Especially after they voted to have her wear that humiliating ki collar.

 

Vegeta paused for a moment. His daughter was definitely showing signs of a true Saiyan princess. He smirked and lowered his hand, the built up energy dissipated into tiny harmless specks. Okay, so he won't get the fireworks that he wanted but that wasn't going to stop him from getting the Counsel later.

 

“Okay, princess. We'll do it your way.” Vegeta turned his attention back to the nervous elders. That little brat just saved all their lives, but for how long?

 

“You gentlemen get to live another day, but I warn you…” He dropped back into his natural state before finishing his threat. “…pull another stunt like this and no amount of begging will save your sorry asses from me. Got it!”

 

The only thing that they could do was nod their heads and took off before the prince changed his mind.

 

Goku put he hand behind his head and laughed. The others joined him. They always knew that their friend could ease any tense situation. Vegeta didn't say anything else and simply exited the arena with his guards. Zarbon was close behind them.

 

The unsuspected group was also being followed.

 

It was relatively late in the afternoon (3:30pm Earth's time) and the prince had a meeting with the Ambassador of the planet Aknu. It seems that Turlis had created an intergalactic problem when he sent a purging unit over there. Now, Vegeta had to rectify the situation.

 

“Vegeta,” Zarbon quietly called out.

 

“What Zarbon? I'm on my way to another meeting” He didn't feel Iike dealing with him right now. He knew that it would lead to another argument. Nothing ever changed about them.

 

“We need to talk.”

 

The prince stopped walking to face his ex-lover. “Now, is not a very good time.”

 

“Then have dinner with me tonight.”

 

“Leave us. Meet me at the counsel hall,” the prince instructed to his guards so that no unnecessary rumors got started.

 

Vegeta didn't want to have anything to do with Zarbon. Kami forbid if Goku finds out that he's having an intimate dinner with the exotic looking reptilian, who knows what the gently Saiyan might do. Nope, no way. Not a chance in Hell that he wanted to find out.

 

“Sorry, Zar but I'm going to pass.”

 

“It's about your mate?” Zarbon was looking a little hurt when Vegeta to him no.

 

“It is always about my mate Zarbon. I will keep no more secrets from him. If you want to talk with me, than Kakarott must be present. Otherwise you will have to talk with me in counsel and I'm sure you don't want every one to know how Zarra was conceived.”

 

Zarbon was stunned. How could Vegeta bring that up? He said that he was sorry about that and as a result they have a beautiful daughter.

 

The tall Adonis walked up to the prince. “Vegeta, I never meant to hurt you by that. I just want us to be friends now.”

 

“Look Zarbon. I have been through Hell and back. I don't need you to stir up any more demons for me. Being raped by you was bad enough then to get pregnant with twins. I could have lost not only our son but Zarra as well because of Frieza's purging demands. We are over. Leave me be. If you need to discuss any thing regarding Zarra then I will listen other than that we have nothing else to say”

 

With that Vegeta turned around heading toward his meeting leaving Zarbon to stare after him. Zarbon didn't know what to do about Vegeta. He still seemed hurt by what had happened and he needs some help on trying to get pass his defensives. Zarbon walked off in the opposite direction not really paying attention to his surrounds as he passed by two unseen figures.

 

Once the corridor was cleared the tiny people appeared from behind the scarlet curtains between two columns.

 

One was crying softly while the other was trying to comfort but really didn't know how.

 

“It's okay, Zarra. I'm sure that my mom can help us or explain what dad meant.”

 

Sad red puffy yellow-amber eyes didn't know what to think, but she did need to talk to someone and maybe Bulma could help. The only thing that Zarra wanted to do right now was to go to her room and cry. She couldn't believe it her Father attack her `Mother' and she had a twin brother that she never knew about.

 

oOoOoOo

 

It was a little passed 7 o'clock when Vegeta finished his meeting but he had got nothing cleared with the stubborn fat tub of lard. How he wished he could choke the living shit out of Turlis. Vegeta's father had set-up a war free zone treaty on Aknu and established trade with the planet and that bastard made it null and void by sending purgers to there to find him. Now, Vegeta had to re-negotiate new terms.

 

The royal found a note from his mate on the bed that was attached to his pillow.

 

Hey Geta,
I'm having dinner with my brother and family. Don't wait up for me.
Love, Kay

 

This is just freaking great. Now, he would have to eat dinner alone was his day ever going to turn out right. First the elders and their bullshit stunt, then Zarbon. He just couldn't figure the man out. What did he what from him. He said friendship, but Vegeta was beyond that point. He didn't want to have anything else to do with Zarbon. He wanted Zarbon to just leave him alone.

 

But deep down he still had feelings for the man and couldn't let those emotions get in the way of what he feels for Goku. He was not about the risk his happiness and his mate's because of an old flame.

 

Zarbon needs a mate. Maybe if he had a mate he would leave me the fuck in peace, Vegeta thought as he changed into his black spandex training body suit. An idea popped into his head but it would have to wait until he saw Goku.

 

He decided just to grab something to eat out of the mini icebox in his room and then slip off two the second training arena.

 

oOoOoOo

 

The head elder hurried to the pre-designated meeting place outside the palace. He changed from his tradition robes to an armor vest and spandex shorts along with a scouter. The elder just looked like any other soldier walking around the city trying to say out of trouble.

 

The lower class Saiyans were not able to afford the richly woven spandex attire or even the body armor. They had to make due with what that had, which usually meant wearing old woven shirts, gi bottoms, shorts and hooded cloaks. On numerous occasions they complained about the taxes being to high and barely could keep up the demand of keeping the crops healthy for harvest, but their cries went unanswered. Hopefully, now that the prince was back things will start to change.

 

A cloaked figure sat in the far back of the tavern sipping a glass of wine waiting for someone. Twenty minutes later the person casually walked in heading straight to the lone figure.

 

“It's about time that you showed up.”

 

“Sorry but counsel went a little longer than necessary,” the elder replied.

 

“So… tell me.”

 

“The prince has gained legendary status.”

 

“Really? He probably hasn't ascended to level 2” A sly smile tugged at the man's lips. “When is the crown ceremony?”

 

“Within two days.”

 

“Good. You have done well.” He passed over a black suede pouch.

 

The elder quickly peeked inside to view the contents. His eyes danced at the shiny gold coins that were inside.

 

“Just one more thing… give this to Kakarott before the ceremony. I don't care how you do it, just do it.” The elder's companion slid something across the table to him.

 

The elder looked down at the small brown vile and tucked it in the pouch along with his money.

 

“Do not let me down, Cimmeron, because Vegeta's temper is nothing compared to mine.”

 

“No Sir! Master Turlis.” He stood and exited through the back door.

 

Turlis sat back in the booth and smiled finishing off his wine. In just two days he will have his prize and nothing is going to stop him from claiming what is rightfully his, not even Kakarott.

 

Hs smile broadens as he grabbed onto one of the chambermaids and headed upstairs.

 

oOo TBC oOo

 

A/N: [ 1 ]Goku is always one step ahead of Vegeta, so I put the number a little close. I told you that I smelled a rat. Man, talk about `keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer' that head elder is going to be sorry if Vegeta finds out about him.

 

What do you think by what Turlis said about level 2? Does he know something that we don't? And what's in that vile? What about Zarra? OMG what a way to find out about her parents. Vegeta is going to be spending a lot of money on therapy bills. Well, tell my what you think. Any thought or comments are in high demand ^_~
