Boy was I feeling great I knew everything that was going to happen. Soon
Mamma was going to come in the Hof with a WHOLE BIG turkey just for me to eat
and Daddy will bring in a huge strawberry cake (my favourite) with coconut
frosting that Mamma baked and a bunch of strawberry ice cream to share with
everyone. My big sister blew annoyingly on a party horn that she had conned
Mamma into buying at the dollar store when we went the other day to get some
cool paper plates for my birthday. I didn't care for it much, the sound
hurt my ears. "Frigga stop blowin on that or I'll break it." I warned her.
She just suck out her tongue out at me and blew it EVEN LOUDER. "Grrr, I'll
tell Mamma your bein mean." I threatened. She gave me a mean look; "Mamma,
Mamma a chicken looked at me." She teased. "Oh yeah, well your the chicken
and I'm gonna pluck you." I roared as I jumped her. I took that annoying
horn away from her all too easy since I was A LOT stronger than her, I was
even stronger than Daddy. "This is what I think of your stinkn horn." I
said as I made my hand hot with the white light I could make. "Nooooo that's
mine you little creep-a-zoid." She screeched as I melted it. I just laughed
and stuck my tongue at her this time. "Frigga, stop antagonizing Haakon."
"Haakon don't use your "light" in here. " Freya yelled at us. "Here, here
now what's going on?" "Haakon get off of Frigga now." What the hell is that
mess?" My Daddy demanded when he walked in the Hof with the ice cream a
moment later. "Haakon melted my horn that Mamma bought me yesterday." My
stupid sister replied after I got off of her. "Only cause YOU didn't stop
blowin it in MY EAR you big poo." I told her then faced Daddy. "Stop it
both of you or you'll both get swated." He barked at us as he put the ice
cream down. Yesh, I hate making Daddy mad. I wasn't affraid of the swat
since he only used a rolled up paper. Daddy didn't really want to hurt any
of us kids. He was just angry because we weren't bein good. "Now if you
want to have your turkey, cake, and ice cream Haakon then behave." "The same
goes for you too Frigga." He said treateningly. NO FOOD!... boy that worked
for me as we both got back into our chairs and gave each other dirty looks
when Daddy walked out of the Hof. A minute afterward my Mamma walked in.
"Here's a whole 25 pound turkey just for you birthday boy." She said sing
song fashion. My mouth was definitly watering when she put the nice brown,
juicy turkey in front of me. As much as I wanted to eat now I knew I had to
wait till Daddy came back with the cake. It took forever (2 minutes) but
Daddy FINALLY came in with my birthday cake with 4 burning candles on it.
They all sang happy birthday to me. Frigga sung it different though and that
made me mad. "Happy birth day to you, happy birthday to you, you look like a
monkey and smell like one too." She sang sticking her tongue out at me at
the end. "FRIGGA! that's not nice to say to your brother." "And stop
sticking your tongue out at him." Mamma said to her while her hands were on
her hips. "Well he's got a tail like a monkey." She offered back.
"FRIGGA!" Mamma hollered even more angery. It was bad to get daddy angery.
It was almost death if you got MAMMA angry. I had to smirk when I saw her
cringe under Mamma's gaze. Mamma didn't know it I think, but when she gets
angry EVERYONE feels it's. It sorta pushes inside you makin you feel VERY
affraid. I didn't know if other Mamma's could do it but I know my Mamma
could. As far as Frigga razzin me bout my tail I think she's just jeleous
(XD). "Now look here, this is Haakon's birthday so just for now skip the
sibling rivalry for today." She cast a stern look my way. "BOTH of you."
Yikes, I guess Daddy told her what I did to the horn. We both nodded our
heads and looked straight ahead. "Okay Haakon blow out the candles." She
told me. As I blew out the candles I could feel Mamma's mood changin back to
happy real quick. She didn't like getin mad. It made her feel bad bout
herself later. She always thinks she's a bad Mamma. Daddy says it's cause
of what her family did to her when she was little that makes her sad. She
was a good Mamma. Sure she was scary when she was mad and even more scary
when she's REALLY sad. But I get mad and so does everyone else. And she
only pulls my hair hard when I do bad or don't listen to her. She hurt
herself once swatin my butt when I was gettin rid of those dumb tapes my
sister liked. That's why she pulls my hair instead, it hurts really bad too.
But its spose to and she only does it after 5 or 10 warnings. I know she
hates to hurt me or Frigga and I think that she just hurts herself more than
us. While Daddy cut the cake and Mamma began givin icecream I ate my turkey
all up. Mamma was a GREAT cook and I LOVED eating it. I ate even more than
my big brother Brenden or Daddy. After the cake and icecream Freya, Brenden,
and Mamma gave me some presents and daddy said he was gonna get me a dog of
my own next week, cool. Freya gave me a big heavy punching bag to hit and
kick into when I pretended to be Goku™ from Mamma's Dragon Ball© tape set.
It was cool cause he had a tail too, just like me. Brenden gave me a bunch
of Lego's™. That was great it was the space one I wanted too. When I opened
Mamma's I saw a gi, it was white and there was a belt to go with it too. I
wasn't sure what this ment. Mamma said she would get me one when I was 6
when Master Chuin said he'd give me proper fightin lessons. I looked up at
her and saw her eye's shining the way they did when she was VERY happy. "I
convinced Master Chuin to take you in this year, you start Monday evening."
She told me. Boy I felt all bubbly inside. I guess Mamma had shown him that
she could do some karate and tai-kwan-do and that she had already taught me
that. "THANKS MAMMA!" I cried as I hugged her as tight as I dare. "Your
welcome my son, you deserve it." She told me. "Now I got to go feed and
water the animals." "You go ahead and play with your Lego's™." She said as
she rubbed her cheek against mine. She then turned to leave. I didn't like
it when I couldn't see her. Sometimes she needed my help. "But can't I help
you like I always do Mamma?" I asked her. She turned and made a serious
face. "Baby it's your birthday, you don't have to help me today." "It's
your special day to do what you want and have fun." She said. "With in
reason that is." She added quickly. "But I WANT to help, bsides I wanna
choose a goat to eat and I wanna play with Thunder too." I told her. I
liked helping Mamma with the goats and other animals cause I get to play
chase with the goats or the cows, and that makes me faster. Mamma even let's
me hunt pidgeon's and chickens sometimes. We don't tell daddy, he'd think
Mamma was doin bad. But I always felt good eatin food with out cookin it
sometimes. I also just liked stayin near Mamma most the time. It made me
feel...better and she also needed me. "Alright then come on birthday boy."
She said to me with a smile. "Yay!" I said as I hoped down from my chair
and followed her.
**********************************Reginleif************* ****************
I was glad that Haakon had received his gift from me well. He DID deserve it
after all. I showed master Chuin some video tape I had taken of Haakon doing
some of the kata's I had taught him. I showed him how tight and perfect
control Haakon had of his small young body. I knew only a very small bit of
martial arts and since he seemed such a natural at it I had hoped to sway
Master Chuin into taking him in to his classes though he was but four and he
usually started children out at six. I was pleased when he agreed
complimenting Haakon on his natural skill. He had proven to be very gifted
not only physically but intellectually as well. His capacity to learn,
remember, and apply what he had learned was well above his age level. I
figured that his people were extreamly intelligent, quick learners. They
were indeed a superior race. I felt quite pathetic by comparisson when I
witnessed my son's astounding feats of intellegence, strength, and speed.
Not to mention his astonishing ablility to physically cause his ki to
manefest and use it in a variety of ways. It was mostly destructive at
first. But I was teaching him more constructive ways of using or practicing
it with out destroying stuff. I was teaching him what I could about
meditation to help him find his center. But at times it proved to be
difficult for with his abilities he seemed to have an instictive predeliction
towards violence. I supposed that maybe his people were warrior like, born
fighters as it were. However; he was catching on well and was putting great
effort in controling himself far beyond what a human 4-year-old could do.
With that in mind I had more patience with him than I would have with Frigga
were she to act the same way. He also had naturally developed an ability to
sense people. What he calls their strength inside. I figured he ment their
energy fields. This was something I was trying to learn myself and hoped
that he could help me achieve this.
The party went very well and I let him know that I was going to be back after
I fed and watered the animals. Practically since the day he came to me he
went with me into the animal yard when I did. Hanging on to my back and
taking everything in at first as a small baby. Then actively helping me feed
and water the animals since he was but two. I thought he'd grow out of this
"want to stay near you" stage by now like most children his age group. But
he seemed to still desire to be where I was and keep me in sight. I thought
this odd till I thought of how some baby animals stay near their mothers for
many many months, even years in some cases. I was not sure if this was due
to instinct telling him that his chances for survival were increased so long
as he was under my care. Or that it was due to the sever trama he had
endured as an infant. Perhaps a combination of the two. I simply was not
sure. Frigga was also a clingy type of kid so maybe it wasn't SO unusual.
"But can't I help you like I always do Mamma?" He asked me. I turned back
towards him and explained to him that he didn't HAVE to help me today since
it was his birthday. "But I WANT to help, bsides I wanna choose a goat to
eat and I wanna play with Thunder too." He told me his eyes big and round.
(Ó.Ò) (No! not the eyes how can I resist?) I smiled at him and agreed.
"Yay!" He said as he hoped down from his chair and followed me out. He liked
Thunder, "his" gray grizzled wether now well trained in his pack work and
cart pulling. He was a calm, good-natured animal who didn't mind when Haakon
sat on his back and road him around like a small horse. Haakon knew the
commands for left, right, stop, and forward so he had no difficulty getting
Thunder to do as he wished. He went to play with Thunder while I fed the
cattle first. When I entered the doe yard he hopped off and helped me with
the load of hay I was carrying in and put it in the manger. "Can I have this
one tomorrow Mamma?" He asked me as he pointed to one of the many young goats
I designated as food. I smiled, as always he picked the one that was good
and meaty at the time. I nodded. "Good choice, want to help me butcher it
out after we finish here?" I replied. He nodded his head vigorously while
saying "Uh-huh." It only took 15 minutes to finish feeding and watering all
the animals for the night. We still had almost two full hours of sun light
left and sent Haakon to get Brenden for me so he could carry the goat out to
the area I'd dress it out in. Though Haakon was more than strong enough to
carry the goat himself he didn't quite have the height yet. Brenden came in
and did as asked while I went to ask Kirkjbur to dispatch the goat. It was
not long before I had the animal completely dressed out. My stomach turned
slightly when I turned and saw Haakon enjoying some raw liver having already
devoured the lungs, kidneys, and heart. (XÞ) Out of Kirkjbur's view of
course.(~.o) I never quite got use to seeing the sight of Haakon happily
chowing down on the most UGLIEST meals I had ever witnessed. I never stopped
him though, he seemed to thrive on it and did enjoyed it so. Soon it was all
put up in the refrigerator along with the 3 chickens I planned to cook as
well. I then got out some potatoes, peas, and corn to go with the 3 large
roasts I had started cooking just before going out with Haakon's birthday
turkey. I already had some vegetables cooking along with the roasts, but
they would all go to Kirkjbur and Haakon so I had to cook other side dishes
for everyone else including more for Haakon. "I'll carry that Mamma." He
said as he plucked the 10 pound bag of potatoes out of my arms as if it were
a bag of feathers. "Thank you baby." I replied as I carried the balance in.
It was not long before supper was ready. Feeding Haakon was easy, getting
him full was a feat. It never ceased to amaze me how much that boy could
eat. Fortunatly I usually got the portions right and seldom have to make him
some supplimental food. That didn't mean he didn't get the munchies later.
I stayed up usually till 4 or 5 in the morning and the little rascle would
stay up all the while, only going to bed when I did. Frigga was much the
same was till she started school so this did not surprise me in the least.
He would get a little hungry about midnight and I would make him a dozen and
a half bologna, peanutbutter & jelly, or deviled ham sandwiches along with a
gallon of whole milk (from our cow Athuma or our goats) and some fruit. That
generally satisfied him, unless he was going though a growth spurt which
seemed to happen every few months or so. We NEVER had leftovers anymore
almost since he arrived and Haakon loved to eat EVERYTHING. Meat,
vegetables, fruit, bread, you name it he'll eat it. Keeping his apatite fed
proved to be a challange to be sure, given our modest income of $10,000 per
year to feed a family of six. Even though Haakon ate many times what average
adult would, some how we always managed. As predicted there was not a single
morsle of food left at the end of supper. "Did you have enough to eat?"
"There's still some of your birthday cake left." I asked him. "I guess I
could eat some cake too." He replied. I retreaived the cake and placed it
before him with a clean fork. While Haakon happily ate his cake and played
with his Lego's™, Freya and I cleaned up. A few minutes later he came over
and handed me the now empty plate. "I ate it all up, and I'm all full too."
He annouced happily as I took the plate from him to wash. I smiled "I'm all
full." was the best thing I could hear right now.

********************
My son was in a festive mood this day. I had long since ascertained that
this was the day that marked when the family whom adopted him had found him.
Which ment my son endured nine days without sustinance. It was a wonder he
had survived. How proud I was of his constitution a true testement to a
Saiyajins will to survive. I listenened to the strange musical sounding
language they spoke in. I had even figured out the word for Mother as he
called her that all the time and the name she had given him. I wondered if
the name Haakon had a meaning. It is believed by my people that a Saiyajin
reflects the name they are given. That is why all crown princes are named
Vegeta as they were destined to rule. The name it self ment ruling dragon,
the symbol of my house. As I made my almost daily connecections to my son
the ability to hear and feel him became stronger. I was becoming confident
that soon I'd be able to "see" through his eyes to connect a face with the
low pitched lovely voice of the woman he called mother. Most of all to see
star patterns. Since I knew he travelled for nine days before reaching his
foster world I could send out probes in all directions from the last know
position of the ill fated shuttle where that heartless she-cur I use to call
mate tried to murder him. Oh she knew nothing of the knowlege I had to be
sure. I would have her die seeing her son standing alive and beside me
before I had her executed. To make this all possible she had to remain
absolutly ignorant of what I knew. Only my cousin Cumba and his mate Laree
knew of my psychic visits to my son. Once I could see through his eyes I'd
wait and hope he will look at the star lit sky of his foster world so I could
memorize and program those paticular star patterns for the probes to
recognise thus narrowing the actual search area. I was not sure my son could
feel my presence. If he did he was completely at ease with it which would be
well. As ever I stayed in contact till I felt slumber take his mind beyond
my reach. That was well, I too was fatigued and needed sleep. Tomorrow was
report day and Lord Freeza would be there. I had to be fully alert at all
times when he was around. For I knew that he could spell extinction for my
people and world.
************************************Reginleif**** **************************
It was around 4 and I had just finished turning down mine and Haakon's side
of the bed. Frigga had school the next day and was already sleeping on her
side of the bed we all shared. Fortunatly Kirkjbur had made it a very large
bed for us so there was enough room for all. Haakon was watching the end of
the 6th Dragon Ball™ tape which was "The Ledgend of Goku". Both he and
Frigga loved it cause Goku changed into the big Oozaru and crushed Pilaf's
castle. Both also agreed that he was not going to eat Bulma he was only
trying to wake her (yeah right -.-!). Haakon thought that Goku should have
been able to control his Oozaru. Thankfully though Haakon didn't seemed
inclined to look at a full moon and find out FIRST; whether or not he COULD
change. And SECOND; there by if he changed, COULD he control his Oozaru?
(×.×) That was one thing I'd rather NOT find out. Haakon had already had his
late night snack so I knew he was not likly to be hungry. As soon as the end
credits began to roll he snatched the remote and started to rewind the tape.
"Ready to sleep kiddo?" "Or are you a little hungry?" I asked him. He
yawned hugely. "I'm sleepy but I'm not hungry thank you." He replied as he
retreived the rewound tape and put it in it's sleeve then on the shelf. He
then handed me a speacil comb Kirkjbur had made for him. His hair was more
like thick under fur with long spiky gaurd hairs causing his hair to have
that strange gavity defying flame effect. "Could you comb my hair out first
though Mamma?" He said. I nodded as he sat down on the floor infront of my
chair. As I gently pressed down with the rounded ends of the comb on his
tough scalp it began to exude a sweet spicy smelling oil that I began to comb
through his hair. This is how I kept it clean, the oils removed the dirt and
seemed to give his hair a shining clean sheen. Not to mention making it soft
and spicy smelling. I smilled as he purred his appreciation. It was quite a
surprise the first time I heard him purr. I rather liked it and it suit him
so well. "There all finished." I stated as I completed my task. "Thank you
Mamma." He replied as he got up still purring and nuzzled me. He then began
engaging in his paculiar behaviour of grooming me the way a cat would. It
seem a compulsive act that he didn't really think about. Mindful of his
killer saliva I gently pushed him away. "Okay, okay you know you hate the
taste of the shampoo I use." I said trying to make sure he did not see this
as a rejection of his childish affection. After getting him tucked in the
middle of the bed(he perfered it). I kissed him on the forehead. "Did you
have a good birthday today?" I queried. He looked at me and smiled sleeply.
"I sure did Mamma... thanks." He answered as he snuggled deeply into his
pillow. I smiled back and nuzzled him. With in moments after I climbed on
my side I could hear both his and Frigga's soft snoring. I found it soothing
as I drifted contentedly off to sleep.
*************************************Haakon*********** ***********************
While Mamma combed out my hair for me I was rememberin how great a day I had.
I also kept feeling that nice man in my head who seemed to want to visit me.
Mamma was visited alot by spirits n' Gods n' all so I figured he might be one
too. I always remembered feelin him so long as I could remember. He was
always nice so I didn't mind, it seemed to make him happy too. I loved
having my hair combed it made me feel a happy sorta tired. "There all
finished." she said. I told her thank you as I rubbed her cheek with mine.
I don't really know why but I always want to give her a combing too but with
my tongue and teeth. I know I am a little different than Mamma and she
cleans her own hair but I can't stop it most of the time. "Okay, okay you
know you hate the taste of the shampoo I use." She told me as she pushed me
away. She had a smile on her face. I know she wouldn't mind but I know
she's scared of my spit cause of what happenend to Willow. I keep forgetin
that I'm different than Mamma and she could get hurt. I should know, cause I
have hurt her in the past and I hated it. I nodded and hoppedoff her lap and
got in the middle of our bed where she tucked me in. The man in my head
always waited till I went to sleep I think. Cause I could still feel him as
I fell asleep. Sorta made me feel like he was watchin over me or something.
(A/N: Like it? Hope so. Next chapter...Haakon first lesson with Master Chuin and you'll find out when Haakon had hurt Reginleif (accident ofcourse). Till next chapter take care.)

sometimes. I also just liked stayin near Mamma most the time. It made me
feel...better and she also needed me. "Alright then come on birthday boy."
She said to me with a smile. "Yay!" I said as I hoped down from my chair
and followed her.

I was glad that Haakon had received his gift from me well. He DID deserve it
after all. I showed master Chuin some video tape I had taken of Haakon doing
some of the kata's I had taught him. I showed him how tight and perfect
control Haakon had of his small young body. I knew only a very small bit of
martial arts and since he seemed such a natural at it I had hoped to sway
Master Chuin into taking him in to his classes though he was but four and he
usually started children out at six. I was pleased when he agreed
complimenting Haakon on his natural skill. He had proven to be very gifted
not only physically but intellectually as well. His capacity to learn,
remember, and apply what he had learned was well above his age level. I
figured that his people were extreamly intelligent, quick learners. They
were indeed a superior race. I felt quite pathetic by comparisson when I
witnessed my son's astounding feats of intellegence, strength, and speed.
Not to mention his astonishing ablility to physically cause his ki to
manefest and use it in a variety of ways. It was mostly destructive at
first. But I was teaching him more constructive ways of using or practicing
it with out destroying stuff. I was teaching him what I could about
meditation to help him find his center. But at times it proved to be
difficult for with his abilities he seemed to have an instictive predeliction
towards violence. I supposed that maybe his people were warrior like, born
fighters as it were. However; he was catching on well and was putting great
effort in controling himself far beyond what a human 4-year-old could do.
With that in mind I had more patience with him than I would have with Frigga
were she to act the same way. He also had naturally developed an ability to
sense people. What he calls their strength inside. I figured he ment their
energy fields. This was something I was trying to learn myself and hoped
that he could help me achieve this.
The party went very well and I let him know that I was going to be back after
I fed and watered the animals. Practically since the day he came to me he
went with me into the animal yard when I did. Hanging on to my back and
taking everything in at first as a small baby. Then actively helping me feed
and water the animals since he was but two. I thought he'd grow out of this
"want to stay near you" stage by now like most children his age group. But
he seemed to still desire to be where I was and keep me in sight. I thought
this odd till I thought of how some baby animals stay near their mothers for
many many months, even years in some cases. I was not sure if this was due
to instinct telling him that his chances for survival were increased so long
as he was under my care. Or that it was due to the sever trama he had
endured as an infant. Perhaps a combination of the two. I simply was not
sure. Frigga was also a clingy type of kid so maybe it wasn't SO unusual.
"But can't I help you like I always do Mamma?" He asked me. I turned back
towards him and explained to him that he didn't HAVE to help me today since
it was his birthday. "But I WANT to help, bsides I wanna choose a goat to
eat and I wanna play with Thunder too." He told me his eyes big and round.
(Ó.Ò) (No! not the eyes how can I resist?) I smiled at him and agreed.
"Yay!" He said as he hoped down from his chair and followed me out. He liked
Thunder, "his" gray grizzled wether now well trained in his pack work and
cart pulling. He was a calm, good-natured animal who didn't mind when Haakon
sat on his back and road him around like a small horse. Haakon knew the
commands for left, right, stop, and forward so he had no difficulty getting
Thunder to do as he wished. He went to play with Thunder while I fed the
cattle first. When I entered the doe yard he hopped off and helped me with
the load of hay I was carrying in and put it in the manger. "Can I have this
one tomorrow Mamma?" He asked me as he pointed to one of the many young goats
I designated as food. I smiled, as always he picked the one that was good
and meaty at the time. I nodded. "Good choice, want to help me butcher it
out after we finish here?" I replied. He nodded his head vigorously while
saying "Uh-huh." It only took 15 minutes to finish feeding and watering all
the animals for the night. We still had almost two full hours of sun light
left and sent Haakon to get Brenden for me so he could carry the goat out to
the area I'd dress it out in. Though Haakon was more than strong enough to
carry the goat himself he didn't quite have the height yet. Brenden came in
and did as asked while I went to ask Kirkjbur to dispatch the goat. It was
not long before I had the animal completely dressed out. My stomach turned
slightly when I turned and saw Haakon enjoying some raw liver having already
devoured the lungs, kidneys, and heart. (XÞ) Out of Kirkjbur's view of
course.(~.o) I never quite got use to seeing the sight of Haakon happily
chowing down on the most UGLIEST meals I had ever witnessed. I never stopped
him though, he seemed to thrive on it and did enjoyed it so. Soon it was all
put up in the refrigerator along with the 3 chickens I planned to cook as
well. I then got out some potatoes, peas, and corn to go with the 3 large
roasts I had started cooking just before going out with Haakon's birthday
turkey. I already had some vegetables cooking along with the roasts, but
they would all go to Kirkjbur and Haakon so I had to cook other side dishes
for everyone else including more for Haakon. "I'll carry that Mamma." He
said as he plucked the 10 pound bag of potatoes out of my arms as if it were
a bag of feathers. "Thank you baby." I replied as I carried the balance in.
It was not long before supper was ready. Feeding Haakon was easy, getting
him full was a feat. It never ceased to amaze me how much that boy could
eat. Fortunatly I usually got the portions right and seldom have to make him
some supplimental food. That didn't mean he didn't get the munchies later.
I stayed up usually till 4 or 5 in the morning and the little rascle would
stay up all the while, only going to bed when I did. Frigga was much the
same was till she started school so this did not surprise me in the least.
He would get a little hungry about midnight and I would make him a dozen and
a half bologna, peanutbutter & jelly, or deviled ham sandwiches along with a
gallon of whole milk (from our cow Athuma or our goats) and some fruit. That
generally satisfied him, unless he was going though a growth spurt which
seemed to happen every few months or so. We NEVER had leftovers anymore
almost since he arrived and Haakon loved to eat EVERYTHING. Meat,
vegetables, fruit, bread, you name it he'll eat it. Keeping his apatite fed
proved to be a challange to be sure, given our modest income of $10,000 per
year to feed a family of six. Even though Haakon ate many times what average
adult would, some how we always managed. As predicted there was not a single
morsle of food left at the end of supper. "Did you have enough to eat?"
"There's still some of your birthday cake left." I asked him. "I guess I
could eat some cake too." He replied. I retreaived the cake and placed it
before him with a clean fork. While Haakon happily ate his cake and played
with his Lego's™, Freya and I cleaned up. A few minutes later he came over
and handed me the now empty plate. "I ate it all up, and I'm all full too."
He annouced happily as I took the plate from him to wash. I smiled "I'm all
full." was the best thing I could hear right now.

My son was in a festive mood this day. I had long since ascertained that
this was the day that marked when the family whom adopted him had found him.
Which ment my son endured nine days without sustinance. It was a wonder he
had survived. How proud I was of his constitution a true testement to a
Saiyajins will to survive. I listenened to the strange musical sounding
language they spoke in. I had even figured out the word for Mother as he
called her that all the time and the name she had given him. I wondered if
the name Haakon had a meaning. It is believed by my people that a Saiyajin
reflects the name they are given. That is why all crown princes are named
Vegeta as they were destined to rule. The name it self ment ruling dragon,
the symbol of my house. As I made my almost daily connecections to my son
the ability to hear and feel him became stronger. I was becoming confident
that soon I'd be able to "see" through his eyes to connect a face with the
low pitched lovely voice of the woman he called mother. Most of all to see
star patterns. Since I knew he travelled for nine days before reaching his
foster world I could send out probes in all directions from the last know
position of the ill fated shuttle where that heartless she-cur I use to call
mate tried to murder him. Oh she knew nothing of the knowlege I had to be
sure. I would have her die seeing her son standing alive and beside me
before I had her executed. To make this all possible she had to remain
absolutly ignorant of what I knew. Only my cousin Cumba and his mate Laree
knew of my psychic visits to my son. Once I could see through his eyes I'd
wait and hope he will look at the star lit sky of his foster world so I could
memorize and program those paticular star patterns for the probes to
recognise thus narrowing the actual search area. I was not sure my son could
feel my presence. If he did he was completely at ease with it which would be
well. As ever I stayed in contact till I felt slumber take his mind beyond
my reach. That was well, I too was fatigued and needed sleep. Tomorrow was
report day and Lord Freeza would be there. I had to be fully alert at all
times when he was around. For I knew that he could spell extinction for my
people and world.
************************************Reginleif**** **************************
It was around 4 and I had just finished turning down mine and Haakon's side
of the bed. Frigga had school the next day and was already sleeping on her
side of the bed we all shared. Fortunatly Kirkjbur had made it a very large
bed for us so there was enough room for all. Haakon was watching the end of
the 6th Dragon Ball™ tape which was "The Ledgend of Goku". Both he and
Frigga loved it cause Goku changed into the big Oozaru and crushed Pilaf's
castle. Both also agreed that he was not going to eat Bulma he was only
trying to wake her (yeah right -.-!). Haakon thought that Goku should have
been able to control his Oozaru. Thankfully though Haakon didn't seemed
inclined to look at a full moon and find out FIRST; whether or not he COULD
change. And SECOND; there by if he changed, COULD he control his Oozaru?
(×.×) That was one thing I'd rather NOT find out. Haakon had already had his
late night snack so I knew he was not likly to be hungry. As soon as the end
credits began to roll he snatched the remote and started to rewind the tape.
"Ready to sleep kiddo?" "Or are you a little hungry?" I asked him. He
yawned hugely. "I'm sleepy but I'm not hungry thank you." He replied as he
retreived the rewound tape and put it in it's sleeve then on the shelf. He
then handed me a speacil comb Kirkjbur had made for him. His hair was more
like thick under fur with long spiky gaurd hairs causing his hair to have
that strange gavity defying flame effect. "Could you comb my hair out first
though Mamma?" He said. I nodded as he sat down on the floor infront of my
chair. As I gently pressed down with the rounded ends of the comb on his
tough scalp it began to exude a sweet spicy smelling oil that I began to comb
through his hair. This is how I kept it clean, the oils removed the dirt and
seemed to give his hair a shining clean sheen. Not to mention making it soft
and spicy smelling. I smilled as he purred his appreciation. It was quite a
surprise the first time I heard him purr. I rather liked it and it suit him
so well. "There all finished." I stated as I completed my task. "Thank you
Mamma." He replied as he got up still purring and nuzzled me. He then began
engaging in his paculiar behaviour of grooming me the way a cat would. It
seem a compulsive act that he didn't really think about. Mindful of his
killer saliva I gently pushed him away. "Okay, okay you know you hate the
taste of the shampoo I use." I said trying to make sure he did not see this
as a rejection of his childish affection. After getting him tucked in the
middle of the bed(he perfered it). I kissed him on the forehead. "Did you
have a good birthday today?" I queried. He looked at me and smiled sleeply.
"I sure did Mamma... thanks." He answered as he snuggled deeply into his
pillow. I smiled back and nuzzled him. With in moments after I climbed on
my side I could hear both his and Frigga's soft snoring. I found it soothing
as I drifted contentedly off to sleep.
*************************************Haakon*********** ***********************
While Mamma combed out my hair for me I was rememberin how great a day I had.
I also kept feeling that nice man in my head who seemed to want to visit me.
Mamma was visited alot by spirits n' Gods n' all so I figured he might be one
too. I always remembered feelin him so long as I could remember. He was
always nice so I didn't mind, it seemed to make him happy too. I loved
having my hair combed it made me feel a happy sorta tired. "There all
finished." she said. I told her thank you as I rubbed her cheek with mine.
I don't really know why but I always want to give her a combing too but with
my tongue and teeth. I know I am a little different than Mamma and she
cleans her own hair but I can't stop it most of the time. "Okay, okay you
know you hate the taste of the shampoo I use." She told me as she pushed me
away. She had a smile on her face. I know she wouldn't mind but I know
she's scared of my spit cause of what happenend to Willow. I keep forgetin
that I'm different than Mamma and she could get hurt. I should know, cause I
have hurt her in the past and I hated it. I nodded and hoppedoff her lap and
got in the middle of our bed where she tucked me in. The man in my head
always waited till I went to sleep I think. Cause I could still feel him as
I fell asleep. Sorta made me feel like he was watchin over me or something.
(A/N: Like it? Hope so. Next chapter...Haakon first lesson with Master Chuin and you'll find out when Haakon had hurt Reginleif (accident ofcourse). Till next chapter take care.)
