Part 5

Goku and Vegeta were led back to their room. Goku quickened his pace in order to reach the girl in the front of their group.

Ahrae turned around when she heard her warriors shout. She saw that the tall Saiyan was trying to approach her. Ahrae motioned for them to step aside and waited for the orange gi clad Saiyan to reach her.

"Thank you," Goku said.

The girl stared at him in surprise. "I said we would kill your Prince after he comes back. Didn't you hear that part?" She watched the Saiyan intently, then suddenly felt very uncomfortable. She shouldn't, but she felt…

"They would have tried to kill us one way or another. You were the only one who wanted to give us a chance to rescue Trunks…"

"That's the boy's name?" Ahrae asked, motioning for him to precede her into the room. The guilty feeling increased even more.

Goku nodded, following her. He waited for her to say something but noticed that her mood had somehow darkened. He joined Vegeta in the middle of the room.

Goku and Vegeta were left again but not before Ahrae said something to Vegeta in Saiyan before leaving.

"What did she say?" Goku asked, settling on the bed.

"That we should use the time we have because it might be our last time together."

"How does she know?" Goku asked, blushing. He simply ignored the warning the girl's suggestion held.

"She would be a fool if she didn't know," Vegeta snorted at him. "For Gods sake! You talked without my permission, forgot my title. You even said that you wouldn't let me make the deal… Some years back I would have killed you for this!"

Now Goku remembered. "Oh…that…sorry… And what did she say that other time?" He sounded unimpressed by Vegeta's threat.

"She asked why I dragged you around with me. Then said that I should order you to leave the planet before it was too late…"

"She's strange…" Goku mused. He rubbed his rumbling stomach. "When they are going to bring the food?!"

Vegeta rolled his eyes. "I would be surprised if they fed us at all… And she isn't strange. She believes in helping innocents. It's their policy. At least, it should be... She has more morals than brains…" Vegeta sat at the table near the window. "If something happens, stay close to her. She sympathizes with you and likely would try to help."

"Sympathizes with me?" Goku rolled on his stomach, propping his head on the elbows. "I don't like her."

"Good," Vegeta purred, sitting next to him.

"Are you jealous?" Goku grinned at Vegeta. His tail began to sneak over to the prince's waist.

"Maybe I would be if she was mature," Vegeta softly laughed. "She is too young to be interested in a male," Vegeta added after Goku's questioning look. Vegeta decided he simply wanted to forget his fears, to forget this useless waiting. He thought about the girl's advice once again. "And I'm too good for you to exchange me for someone else…"

Suddenly Vegeta was tossed back on the bed next to Goku. Goku unwrapped his dexterous tail from Vegeta's waist and observed his catch. "Oh, are you so confident?" Goku purred, wrapping his silky tail around Vegeta's thigh.

"Yeah, just let me remind you again." Vegeta threaded his fingertips through the fur on Goku's tail.

Goku moaned then quickly retracted his tail. "Vegeta, no."

The prince growled discontentedly. "They don't care. The girl even advised that…" He reached for Kakarott again but his hand was smacked away with a tail. "Playing hard to get?" Vegeta asked, annoyed.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Both Saiyans recognized Ahrae's ki. Her head appeared in the doorway.

"Do you want to eat something?"

"Yes! Finally!" Goku leapt for joy, almost knocking Vegeta over, who snorted at him with his hands crossed.

"And what do you want, Prince Vegeta?" the girl asked, looking at Vegeta, but the prince pointed at Goku. The girl's face fell when she listened to Goku's requests.

"Yeah, and Prince Vegeta will eat the same. I'll finish whatever he doesn't eat," Goku happily announced.

"Okay… I'll try to get this…at least…some of this…" the girl shook her head, closing the door.

Vegeta turned to Goku. "You are behaving like you're in a damn restaurant…"

Goku stuck his tongue out at him.

"You should put that tongue to better use…" Vegeta smirked at him, liking the naughty image in his head.

Goku blushed and sat back on the bed.

"You look sexy when you blush," Vegeta purred, advancing on Kakarott. Kakarott's blush deepened even more.

"Vegeta, no."

Vegeta snorted then decided that perhaps a kata would be useful to alleviate his frustration. He pulled the top of his training suit off, stretched, and begun a complex kata.

Goku nestled back in the pillows, put his hands behind his head, and let his eyes feast on Vegeta's body while he performed his kata. Such grace…such concentration…such a body…and everything mine… Vegeta began one-handed push-ups. Soft grunts punctuated each push-up. Bulging muscles glistened with sweat that filled the air with Vegeta's musky citrus aroma…

"You are so damn stubborn!"

Goku hid his face in the pillow, realizing that the kata and other exercises were being used to seduce him. And it had worked. Goku praised all the Gods that Saiyans were only able to get pregnant during heat, and he and Vegeta both had already had their eposides about a month ago. So they didn't need to worry.

Vegeta got up. "Dammmnnnn sssstubbborrrnnn," he purred, stalking towards Kakarott with a mischievous glint in his eyes. He ran his palm over Kakarott's shoulder, his back, over taunt buttocks and sensitive thighs. Kakarott squirmed.

Goku turned around and was graced with black desire-filled eyes and a playful smile. And that was all it took to shatter his resistance. He moved his body toward the prince, reaching for him, kissing him softly on his lips and trailing a wet path to his chest. He felt Vegeta shiver in delight. We have to hurry up. That annoying girl will be back. Goku, tried to get his clothes off, but with Vegeta's hand in his hair it was impossible. Goku broke the kiss and tossed the shirt over his head. He returned to Vegeta's lips, cupping prince's head, and deepened the kiss. He felt Vegeta's hand sneaking into his pants. Goku groaned into the hot mouth against his as Vegeta's hand seized him. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Vegeta didn't pay any attention to it, but Goku recoiled from the prince like he was on fire and grabbed his clothes.

Ahrae opened the door and stepped in carrying a tray of food. There were five other warriors behind her and they all carried food. As soon as Goku caught the smell of hot food, he got ecstatic. Vegeta just snorted at him, unable to understand how the other Saiyan's interests could switch so fast. The prince noticed that after the girl smelled the air, she looked at them confused.

"What's that smell?" Ahrae asked, coming to them, trying to indicate the strange aroma.

One of her older warriors yanked Ahrae back and pushed the protesting girl through the door. The others left too, leaving the food where they could. Goku blushed fiercely. Vegeta merely observed the food.

There was a knock again. This time Ahrae waited for permission to enter. "I'm sorry if I disturbed you earlier," her cheeks reddened a bit. She had apparently had the smell explained to her.

"Nah," Goku shrugged it off, setting to the food. He was surprised to feel Vegeta's hand grasp his shoulder.

"Her first," the prince nodded toward the girl side. He sat next to Goku, waiting.

The girl nodded, taking a bit of the meat Vegeta had offered from the first tray. "I'm sorry, but neither our cooks nor our mages had any idea what ketchup is. They had problems with sausages, too. And actually, what is goose?" she asked after tasting all the food Vegeta had offered. Her eyes bulged slightly as she watched how fast Goku devoured the food. She decided that the Saiyan hadn't found the food bad at all.

"Vegeta, you're not eating enough." Goku shook his head at the prince who was playing with food in his plate.

"You are annoying," Vegeta rolled his eyes at him then stuck his fork at Goku's direction. "Don't complain. You'll have more to eat."

Ahrae watched them. She was confused. She couldn't understand. This wasn't right. What she was seeing wasn't right! She got up, took some empty trays, and left the room.

Vegeta heard a bustle outside the door and decided that it was that time already. He moved the tapestry aside and opened the passage, motioning for Goku to come closer. Goku got ready, and as soon as Vegeta had completely suppressed his ki, he immediately created a copy of Vegeta's ki beside him. He was used to this trick from splitting into several copies of himself during fights.

They waited for some time, but it seemed that no one noticed a sudden movement in the prince's ki (and if noticed, wasn't interested). Vegeta went into the passage and closed the wall behind him.

Goku turned to Vegeta's copy then moved it to the bed beside him. He wondered what in hell he would do if someone decided to come to them and ask Vegeta something. Goku stared at the unmoving, blank copy. Yeah, the stupid thing didn't know either…

Vegeta cursed after hitting his head again. He couldn't raise his ki and had to stalk around in the dark. Despite Saiyans' good sight in the darkness, it didn't help much because of a lack of any light whatsoever. Finally he reached the end of the tunnel. He had been right; it led to the hall. He could hear a ruckus, murmurs and people arguing. Because of the noise, he concluded that the Queen hadn't arrived yet. Suddenly the noise ceased. He heard footsteps approaching and realized he was near the throne.

"You all know, why we are here." The Queen's voice echoed through the hall. "First I want to hear you, Danira."

"We must kill them both. I heard some rumors that on the planet Earth there are more Saiyans. Our reliable source of information reported that there was a big battle several months ago. We should take over the Earth and prevent the Saiyans from spreading throughout the universe."

That is a bit thick… Vegeta balled his fists, but then realized that the threat was more than serious and felt shivers running down his spine. Then he heard another voice, immediately recognizing the girl.

"Shut the ---- up! Are you nuts?! We are the Fire Clan, not a bunch of pirates and killers! We have morals and rules! Or were those years of peace too quiet for you?!" the girl was visibly disgusted.

Vegeta smiled at himself Yes, he liked the girl. The cursing alone was enough to make him smile.

"Look who's talking! You weren't even born when we waged war against Frieza and Norayn! What do you know about politics and war?"

"Okay, I'm young. But I know one thing -- we do not wage war without a reason! And if you want to take over the Earth, go and take it. I would like to see how you would prevail over the Saiyans!"

"Coward! You are afraid of the Saiyans!" The voice became scornful and sneering, and Vegeta couldn't wait for her response.

"Don't you dare call me a coward!" the girl shouted back, angry. "I didn't say I was afraid. I said we don't have a reason!"

"Yeah, right… You are afraid of loosing your soft place at the leader's side!" the other warrior laughed mockingly.

"You bitch! How dare you?!" the girls voice shook. She almost couldn't breath for her rage. Vegeta realized that the other woman must have hit a soft spot. "So, you want a war?! You yearn for smell of blood, the thrill of battle?! I can give you blood!"

There was a sudden rise of ki. Vegeta heard the sounds of fighting and a few gasps from the crowd. But the Queen quickly intervened: "Ahrae, stop!"

"I won't tolerate any insults!" the girl snarled angrily. Vegeta heard some shouts and a big thud, which sounded a lot like a body connecting with a wall. "What do you think now, bitch?! Still think I am not worthy of my position?!"

"Bring her to the medical bay," the Queen ordered. Vegeta heard her add, "You, Ahrae, will be punished for this!"

Vegeta heard that the girl mutter something under her breath. Oh, he really liked the girl. Not only had she shut that bitch up, but had also sent her to the infirmary where her radical speeches would be quenched for some time.

"Do you have anything to say?" the Queen asked Ahrae, apparently loosing her temper.

"No."

"Then shut up, otherwise I'll throw you out the door!" After a short silence, the Queen continued, addressing all the people in the hall. "Any motiveless thought about war with Earth will be strictly punished! I don't tolerate Ahrae's ways, but she is right. The last thing we need is war. Now, Ahrae, tell me about this nonsense earlier? You know perfectly well that without our help they won't be able to rescue the boy, and I know you realize I have no intentions to send our troops with them."

Vegeta listened to the conversation and learned new meanings for the word `sneaky'. The short walk through the tunnel might have saved his and Kakarott's lives… Vegeta clenched his fists, his tail lashing. He had trouble controlling his ki.

The meeting was over soon. After everyone dispersed from the hall, Vegeta went back to the room. He watched as Kakarott got rid of his clone then raised his ki.

"And?" Kakarott asked with his eyes full of hope.

"They will tell. They even will lead us there…" Vegeta answered, sitting on the bed. Suddenly he felt so tired.

"That's good!" Kakarott's face shined with happiness. "Isn't it?" he added after searching the prince's face.

"Yes, it is," Vegeta nodded against his will. ------- devildom!

Vegeta wasn't able to sleep. He twisted about in bed, clenched and unclenched his pillow. He flipped on his back to stare at the dark ceiling and then rolled onto his stomach again. Sighing, he got up and went over to the peacefully sleeping Kakarott. He slipped under other Saiyan's blanket and settled himself against Kakarott's warm body. Kakarott muttered something in his sleep and wrapped his arm around Vegeta, drawing him closer.

Vegeta sighed into the broad chest. Death is not an option.
