Fallen for the Kill

By: Hope_Poe26

Vegeta and Kakarott stood up all night to find a way of getting rid of Freeza before Brolli and Koola reached Earth. But it was Jake who in the morning solved the problem for them by simply stating that if they were that strong they should let Koola finish Freeza off when he came looking for him and didn't find him there.

So they went back to training and Jake just felt like a total idiot because he couldn't even wield any kind of power or `ki' as both Pan and Kim talked in between themselves. He couldn't hide the attraction he felt towards Pan, but because she was constantly around Kim and in turned Radditz was very protective of his mate. Radditz would growl at him if he even tried to reach Pan. At nights was worst because the saiyan prince - his father - was even more territorial than Radditz and even if said he wasn't looking for a relationship, Vegeta would still have his head on a silver platter.

So there he was, trying to study an old Latin book by the windowsill watching Bulma punch the punching bag while Chi - the neko-jin - lunged into a battle of fists with her mate Kakarott. He stopped his reading and looked at his left to see that for the first time in days - actually only two - Pan was alone. He went to her and joked that this was the first time she wasn't surrounded by a concrete wall and she smiled. He felt his heart thunder at her response and they talked for a minute, but when he tried to caress her left cheek, she stopped him.

"No. I'm sorry Jake, but understand that if Vegeta even smells a teeny tiny bit of your scent on me, he'll kill you without hesitating. I couldn't even try and reason with him."

"Just because you are going out with him doesn't mean he owns you, does he?" - hoping that she answered the way he wanted her to.

"Actually in a sense I do belong to him. You see, we aren't dating. We are mated. In simple terms that is like being married. Furthermore we have bonded and although he is in the gravity simulator, he is very aware that you are close to me. I love him." - he visibly flinched and Pan's smile wavered a bit, but she went on despite his sad face-features.

"I know you can't seem to understand how I know all this, but I am half-saiyan and I know that male saiyans are territorial and over-protective of their mates no matter what. So, even though I care for you, please don't push your luck." - with that she turned around and left him all alone.

That night he lay awake in the cot next to Chi's in the middle of the living room while he thought of Pan's warning. She had broken his heart and she knew it. He didn't know if it was because there was no one here who actually wanted him, or if it were because he had hoped that when he saw her again, she would jump into his arms and say she loved him and - ok, he was exaggerating; but he honestly felt left out. He couldn't fight therefore he couldn't join into the activities of the men. He didn't know what to say to the neko-jin and she never ever looked at him twice to even strike up a conversation however lame it could be. The women were always closed together doing something or the other and Pan was either training or with Kim reading, so even if he could talk to her, she had already finished building the wall around her. She was untouchable and he didn't dare fight his `supposed' to be father for just having a talk with her.

So when he heard a voice in his head that was repugnantly familiar, he flinched.

<Conversation between Freeza and Jake inside his mind>

F: "Well hello Jake."

J: "What do you want?" - he all but snarled.

F: "I didn't know the saiyans were alive, but wouldn't you want Pan to be your own without having to fight Vegeta the saiyan prince?"

Temptation crept into his heart and he tried to resist it, but he knew he couldn't stop himself from dreaming of Pan's lithe body under his moaning in ecstasy.

J: "What do I have to do?"

<End of Conversation>

Chi looked at Jake wearily the next morning and quickly changed her demeanor towards her heart's desire mate that made Bulma think there was something up her sleeve when there was really none.

A week later, Dodoria - one of Freeza's minions - and an army made of a thousand soldiers started looting Earth. Kakarott feeling deeply troubled said he'd take care of them easily and Radditz said that if he wasn't back by noon, he'd come looking for him.

He came up shortly, looking very tired but a bit happy at the fact that he was able to safe a lot of the humans around him. He even killed Dodoria and was extremely satisfied to hear him plea for mercy. He was full of dirt and blood and Bulma quickly took care of drawing him a bath. Vegeta stood in the doorway while Kakarott let Bulma bath him.

"What else did you see?" - he asked him.

"I didn't let any soldier survive just in case there was a spy or something, but I saw no one else. There were no ships and that makes me think that they have some sort of immediate transportation over here. I think we should stack up of food before they decide to hit this city. Bulma and the girls won't like it, but I think we should keep them from leaving the house." - Vegeta nodded and Bulma just looked questioningly at him because as far as she knew he had not spoken. But he had. In saiyago.

Later in the kitchen, Bulma and the girls made a list of what they'd need and what the boys would need. Bulma was going to contact her father, but Chi stopped her before she could even lift the phone.

"No." - and that made Bulma fume. Without a warning Bulma threw a punch at Chi and Pan groaned.

"Oh no!"

"Not another cat-fight! Radditz!" - she called and suddenly all men were on his haunches while Jake stood by the sidelines watching quietly.

Kakarott was the first to react and separated both females with an effort. Behind him, Radditz cuddled Kim and Vegeta laughed while Pan looked angry at him.

"Now that everything is quiet, would someone please tell me what's going on?!" - Kakarott roared and both females were scared because of all the three male saiyans Kakarott was the nicest and for him to be angry, it meant serious trouble.

"She started it!" - Chi whined out and Bulma shrieked in response ready to lunge at her with another punch.

"BULMA!" - Kakarott roared again suddenly angry beyond words.

It took several more minutes before they calmed down and Kakarott looked at Pan for an answer not trusting either of the females he was holding to say the truth.

"Well, we were writing a list of everything we'd probably need and then Bulma suggested that she'd call her father for some advice as to how get everything we needed in one whole trip and when she was going to lift the phone to call him, Chi took it away from her saying no." - Bulma looked at Chi as if saying `Now you'll get it!', but was surprised when Kakarott said…

"Actually, I was going to tell you girls that we can't use the phone for nothing. They could be tapped and I don't want to risk anything." - Chi looked victorious for a second before saying in saiyago…

"I think we should be looking for problems right away." - Vegeta looked at the neko-jin curiously and then shifted his stare to Jake who stood far away from then taking in the scene.

"I'll accompany Pan to the market to get everything."

"I'm coming too!" - Bulma exclaimed and there was another verbal fight. Kakarott finally lost his patience and he dictated that only Pan and Chi would go with Vegeta to town while he and his brother stayed on to continue their training.

<Telepathic convo between Freeza and Jake>

F: "You called?" - he drawled out.

J: "They are going into town. Vegeta, Pan and this neko that goes by the name of Chi for supplies."

F: "Perfect!"

J: "Remember you won't hurt her at all. It's our deal."

F: "I remember. We kill Vegeta and the cat so that Pan is all yours. Come and fetch your prize yourself though, I don't make home deliveries."

<End of Telepathic convo>

Chi had picked up on the telepathic convo and shivered inwardly. She then went to search for Kakarott but was interrupted by the saiyan prince himself.

"What is it neko?" - he drawled out.

"I need to speak to Kakarott." - she hissed out.

"Thinking of making more trouble or is it about the boy?" - she looked confused for a second before she showed any understanding.

"You know?"

"No. But I caught your underlying meaning unlike Kakarott." - he stood in front of her and she explained it to him by saying that Jake had changed from being a good boy to a wicked one when Pan turned him down.

Vegeta then decided he'd tell Kakarott just as soon and to Radditz too. The battle against Freeza had begun and they had to be prepared.
