CHAPTER LI

SAIYAN LIFE FACTS 101

Kakarrot had flown from the island of Little Vegeta, leaving behind his newfound Saiyan heritage, his family, friends, offspring and mate. Not only did the large Saiyan flee the island; he fled the planet, the universe, and even the physical dimension. His reason was that he wanted to brood in peace and if he had stayed on Earth, one of his 'concerned' would come looking for him. He just had to share his knowledge of I-T with everyone of his acquaintance, what was he thinking? The large Saiyan materialized in the only realm where he knew he could brood in peace and was the last place any of his colleagues and cohorts would think to look for him.

Kakarrot sat on the bank of a large river that ran in front of a grand palace. He could hear screams, yells and feel immense powers erupt. He let the shadow of a smirk appear on his lips but he would not join those having the time of their lives training and fighting. He hoped that his presence had not been detected.

"Well, well, well, trouble, what's brewin'?" a high tenor voice asked followed by a snicker.

Kakarrot ignored the being but the being would have none of it.

"Hey, I'm talkin' to you? What's wrong? Why so sullen? You're supposed to be happy and cheerful?" the being remarked.

That statement made Kakarrot bristle and he swung at the unsuspecting being, which sent him flying.

"Whoa, King Kai, are you okay, sir?" a green being that resembled a fusion of Cell and Piccolo, asked the being Kakarrot had punched.

"Ah, oh, King Kai? Pikkon? Sir, I-I'm sorry. I'm not in a good mood and that question just rubbed me wrong. My mind was on other things," the large Saiyan hung his head as he assisted the blue dog-like being to his feet.

"Man, Go-ah, Kakarrot, what strength! You weren't that strong when you were here! I guess reclaiming your birth-"

"SHUT UP! I never want to hear anything about those perves ever again! Dressing as females, gah! It's bad enough to breed and nourish like females, do we have to dress like them, too?" Kakarrot erupted into Pilzara; however, the transformation never completed as Kakarrot felt pain radiate up his spine.

"Cousin, stop! What is with you?" a cooish feminine voice sounded.

Kakarrot looked around and found himself staring into the liquid black eyes of...

"C-Ceraina?" K-san looked around once again and caught sight of two females who had not long transcended Living World. "Cilantra? Cornelia? Where did you three come from?" he asked.

"Inside the palace. What brings you here? I thought that you and Vegeta would have repopulated the Saiyan race by now," the spirit body of the late princess giggled.

"Do I need a reason? Stupid cross-gendered, female dressing damn dirty ape! I hate him! I hate all of you monkey tailed abominations! I hope you all burn in Hades!" and with that, Kakarrot began to power up a blast when..."Hey, what...? Why can't I power up? I-I feel so weak," the large warrior fell to his knees.

"Maybe it's because you have a chi clasp about your tail! Did you think we wouldn't find you? Is that why you escaped to Other World? I hate to tell you, little brother, but energy such as yours can be felt in Living World," a gruff voice sounded in a strained tone as if the speaker was pulling a great weight.

Pain laced through Kakarrot's body but he slowly turned his head to see..."R-Raditz? O-Otousan? How did you find me? What are you doing here? I want nothing to do with any of you. I'm ashamed to even be called a 'Saiyan.' Your ways disgust me! Purging planets, taking innocent lives, selling inhabited planets to anyone who'll pay your asking price, male birthing, male nourishing, dressing like females... Gag, it's nauseating!" the large warrior choked out amidst the pain.

Those gathered around Kakarrot could not believe their ears, but then again, they could. Kakarrot was an unfortunate child, who had been found much too late to be taught the ways of his homeland. He had been raised on the very planet he had been sent to purge, however, a head trauma suffered as an infant erased his memory of his mission and his Saiyan heritage. Bardock shook his head.

"Sit down, chimp. Time for Saiyan Life Lesson 101. The Ouji doesn't know everything and we only input the necessary information into your pod before it was sent off. There are traditions and practices that only the royal house partakes in and let me set your mind to ease, it is only the Royal House of Vegeta that can fully attain the femme appearance and every fifth generation of my own. Keep in mind, that only the ancestors and the elders of the race know our practices to full extent. This has to do with your mate appearing femme again, does it not?" Bardock snapped and Kakarrot growled.

"Kakarrot, we've been over this! It's the same reason you left him on Minerva, the reason you left him at the water fun park! Tell me, chibi, are you breeding again?" Raditz tried to control his voice.

"Hell if I know! Yeah, I think I am. When Vegeta and I went off after the septuplets births. Why?" Kakarrot huffed.

"The more your breed, the more your body will go through strange stages. You haven't bred this much since you were a young ape in the early stages of openness, so you're not familiar with all the hormonal changes that are attacking your body. What's that thing females get? Oh, their time of month. That's what's happening to your body. Tell me, did you have your tail when you bred for that sub-creature?" Bardock asked, his tone softer.

Kakarrot shook his head. "What's that got to do with anything! I don't like my mate being pawed over by another, especially when he dresses to kill in his femme state!" the large Saiyan tossed his head angrily.

"Ah, there's the rub. You really don't mind Vegeta reaching femme, as long as he takes you with him as his homme. I can understand that. It's as it should be but you still need to understand that the Vegeta males attain femme level quicker than others do. Let me ask, does it offend you when the prince is femme?" Bardock asked and Kakarrot sighed.

"I-I guess when I saw him and that human, I freaked. I wanted to hurt that man for touching what was mine and for my mate to allow the touch! It's not the first time I'd seen them together, either! After I returned to living plane, Vegeta had been fully established as a blast agent but that's not the point. I took Chichi out one night to a new club after we had moved to the city to be near Goten's school. I was bored as she was talking with Bulma, who had gotten back with Yamcha at the time. I scanned the crowd and my breath caught. I saw Velmora, on Earth in the embrace of another. I wanted to deck that walking Greek statue but I had to remember who I was and whom I was with. It wouldn't do for 'Goku', the goody-two-shoes and savior of the universe' to go off and deck a weak human, no matter what! Oh, how I wished I was the one holding Vegeta (Velmora), making him smile and laugh at that moment. I guess my jealousy runs deep, but Velmora/Vegeta was mine. I'd leave the planet, go to Minerva and she'd be there," Kakarrot sniffed.

Gohan and Goten both looked at their dad with puzzled eyes. "Tousan, you cheated on mom? Cool! I didn't think you had the balls to do something like that with what she was putting you through," Goten smiled showing fangs and teeth.

"Thanks. So, is there more I need to know about my mate and his ancestry?" Kakarrot asked looking up at his scarred twin who nodded.

"Much. Before our ancestors destroyed the Tuffles, the king of that race and the leader of the savage Saiya-jin mated and had children. Those children were then altered to breed-they were mostly males. The Tuffles were a more femme race and the Saiya-jin was homme. The two races were co-dependant on one another for balance, however, once the chimps were born, the two races desired a purer race, thus they inbred with their own children, creating a very powerful people. Following the uprising, the Saiya-jin captured the bi-breds and mated with them, thus giving birth to the various branches of the race that lived on Vegetasei before Frieza and his party crowd did their thing to us," Bardock hissed.

"The offspring of the Tuffles King and the Saiyan king resembled those you call the 'golden ones.' It is that union that gives rise to the Super Saiyan, however, the last Super could only hold the form in his Oozaru state and that was over a thousand years ago not three like some have been lead to believe. But that is not what ails you, son of Bardock. It is your mate. Your sire and brother both know that the form is an honor to hold among our people. It was when that white ice snake infiltrated us and poisoned our minds that it was viewed as shameful and disgusting. Anyway, femme is a gene carried by all of us, along with the gene to reach Super Saiyan, and open males are especially prone to reach the level. The gene is more prominent in the Houses of Vegeta and Bardock, but your sire's family line is much larger, near to what the Saiya-jin of ancient days were-the brutish ones. Vegeta's family line, on the other hand are more delicate-but I would never say such to their faces. The Vegetas are a smaller bodied family and it is mainly the smaller and shorter partner of a male bonded couple that reaches the form the quickest and has little distaste in showing it. Couples of equal height and build tend to share the gene. You and both of your human born sons have it but they have accepted their roles, however, your youngest is in that group where the members share the gene and are equal in stature, meaning that which ever one desires at the time takes on the femme role. All of your sons born of male have the gene and, as I began to say, all open males can transmute like the prince. Prince Vegeta's lack of male Saiyan height adds to his natural ability to reach the form." All those gathered to listen to Bardock turned at the sound of a posh lilting femme toned voice.

A being with red highlighted golden hair and a tail to match made its way to the gathered crowd of Saiya-jin and others. The being looked to be a cross between the delicate femme Tuffles and the brutish Saiya-jin, however, he was neither femme nor homme but a perfect blend of both.

"Who are you and how do you know of our history?" Bardock crouched into a fighting stance.

"Great-great grand near son, I am Vegeta Ou's great-great grandsire, Okrio and this roguish scamp is Oniosh, your great-great grandsire. We are the offspring of King Wastrabere of the Tuffles and King Yukatoh of the Saiya-jin. Fear not, young son of Bardock, the only way to transmute to femme form is to will it. You don't will it, it don't happen. We heard when the melding process was mentioned and we sensed that is what has panicked you, are we not correct, young Kakarrot?" Okrio asked and Kakarrot gave a bare nod.

"You modern chimps have a lot to learn. The melding is nothing more than slight physical changes to your appearance. You're already beginning to look as your mate with more reddish-golden brown to your hair. Sure, there will be some melding of the psyche but that part of the process is controllable. If you find something in your mate that sits ill with you, reject that attribute and move on. Although the real issue here is fear, young Kakarrot bar Bardock. You, the strongest warrior in all realms of the universe, are afraid. You're afraid that if you meld with your mate that his femme dressing nature will destroy your homme nature. Not so and besides, ask your sire how he felt when the king dressed femme during one of the most important events in their lives," Oniosh looked to his great-great grand.

Kakarrot looked to his sire with puzzled eyes. Bardock smirked. "Our king dressed femme when he was accepting the crown. K-son, when you took the female you were mated to on the town, did she dress in her most beautiful clothing?" the scarred warrior asked.

Kakarrot shrugged. "I-I remember after we had defeated Majin Buu and life had gotten somewhat back to normal that Bulma, the blue haired woman who had Trageta, the prince's son, had arranged to have a celebration party. Everyone went except me; I was playing hero to some pteronadon. Anyway, when I finally did get there, I noted how well dressed everyone was and I was in a dress suit," Kakarrot explained.

"Think of femme as your mate dressing up to go out. That's really all the form is. He's still male, Kakarrot, only his physical shape and his voice changes, nothing more. Plus, it's your mate's way of showing how much you mean to him and that he's honored to be your chosen," Okrio smiled.

"B-but he's with another and I cannot stomach that!" Kakarrot grit his teeth and clenched his fists.

"You know the Ouji's life was a hard one. Frieza was relentless and all but destroyed our young one. Velmora's merger with him helped to rescue his emotions and the Saiyan he was being raised to be. What kind of literature and art work did Vegeta gravitate to during his life on Earth?" Oniosh asked.

"Well, he's very attracted to ancient Grecian themes: the wars, the arts and such. His artwork looks something like that. He loves longhaired music like Beet-ho-ven and guys like that. He also loves Shak... Shake... Oh, hell, I can't pronounce the guy's name but he wore puffy short pant things and wrote a lot of plays and poems," Kakarrot snickered.

"Shakespeare, dad. He also loves medieval history and the like," Gohan replied. "Hey, Goten and I are gonna head back to Living World. Pic's probably at wits end without me and I wanna see how Pan's doing, call gram and find how the twins are getting on. Ciaouvo (good-bye in Stygian), everyone. It was nice meeting you two. C'mon, Goten, Trageta's probably eaten his nails away by now," Gohan laughed then the brothers transmitted out of Other World.

"I'd best get back, too. I really have a lot to learn and I have no clue as to why I freak when Vegeta takes on his femme form. I wish he'd do it for me and not just when he has to go in public," Kakarrot sighed.

"Do you think you can handle the melding stage now? We still have not undergone the complete ceremony of bonding. However, you can put yours and Vegeta's off until you're ready," Bardock offered.

"And let him get away, no way!" Kakarrot smirked. "What gets me is why he dressed femme to meet with that human who met him on the Island."

"Perhaps that human met him while he was femme. Did you see any of the prince's life during your seven year stay here?" Oniosh asked.

"Vegeta had been devastated when Kakarrot sacrificed himself to Cell. Vegeta was carrying this one's child and had left Earth for two years to cope with the loss. When he returned, his son, Trageta was three and Bulma ordered Vegeta to go get a job. He did and the human he's with now is his employer. They have a working relationship and not many people know they're lovers outside of Sakyou Enterprises. Vegeta was lonely and Bulma couldn't handle him after his return, so he turned to another," King Kai spoke up.

"Vegeta and I would be invited to Sakyou-san's home and the four of us would indulge in some very bizarre physical acts. I'll never forget the chain," Ceraina snickered. "Kk, Vegeta only went to Sakyou because he was missing you. Yeah, I was with him but I never let on that I was a Saiyan even though I still had my tail. Sakyou has a female and three children from her. What we all shared was to fulfill our employer's request. My prince does not mean to offend you, but Sakyou always loved Vegeta appearing femme, and frankly, so did I," again the nymph giggled.

"Female Saiya-jin sometimes desire one another as males do but do so discreetly. A female mated to a male without a male partner will secretly wish for her male to 'go femme' as a game and that is what the two humans had the prince do. Unlike with Frieza, who forced our prince to be femme, Vegeta wanted to be femme for his employer and to fulfill his female's desire. How long have you and Vegeta been bonded?" Okrio asked.

"Only a year in Earth terms but we always shared a psychic bond, and before I died, we shared our bodies," Kakarrot blushed.

"Kakarrot bar Bardock, the only reason I can hear why the prince went to the human was because he missed you, plus, in our culture, that's how alliances are sealed," Okrio sighed.

"You mean he's done this before?" Kakarrot screeched in horror.

"Don't get your gi in a knot. I have, the Ou has and I'm sure Raditz has as well. No emotions are involved in such trade. There are some alliances I wish we never made but it was as Frieza commanded, not of our own choosing," Bardock sighed. "Are you ready to return?" Kakarrot nodded.

"Farewell, and should you need assistance in the ways and whims of our people, feel free to contact us," Okrio nodded.

"Keep yourself outta trouble, hey trouble. Why don't you take the long way so you can digest what you learned?" King Kai suggested.

Bardock, Raditz and Kakarrot bade the others good-bye and began a slow flight back to Living World.


In another portion of Spirit World, a lone silver figure sat on a curved tree limb. The figure's head was downcast and he was trying desperately to hide constantly flowing tears that fell from golden eyes.

Kurama had opened a portal to the Makai where he and Hiei had set up a den for their private romps. The den was situated on King Raizen's territory as Yusuke had found that he was that Makai ruler's offspring. The two other lands were at war with one another for control of the Makai and Kurama wanted no part of that dispute and he knew neither did his mate, but they had been dragged into the war regardless. Hiei was Murkuro's heir while the fox himself, was the supposed general to the army of the blinded goat youkai, Yomi, who had once been a partner of his during his thieving days, but all that was passed. Kurama was no longer the ruthless and heartless Youko he had been, well only when it counted such as in battle. Living a human life had tempered his ways and brought out his emotions, which were showing.

Nonetheless, Kurama sat on the limb, Hiei's favorite spot to watch for danger and protect his mate, and contemplated the situation in Living World. Oh, how could Koenma do such a thing to him? To bring forth evidence that he had been with Vegeta's mate was crushing, as he knew how Hiei adored his elder twin as well as the fox himself did. True, Hiei knew the fox had had many lovers and relations during his long centuries of life but Kurama didn't want to be reminded of spurned lovers. The children he had had with Kakarrot were the most positive beings out of the entire mess.

'If only I could have had children for Kuronue, as well,' the fox hitched on a sob.

As a Youko, a silver Youko, no less, Kurama knew that his race were the most cunning, promiscuous and debauched of the three worlds, however, they did mate for life when they found that one they wanted to settle down with. He would have done so with Kuronue, he had done so with Kakarrot but then he was shot and left for dead. He then went to Living World. That was a good thing because then he found Kakarrot again... No, it was his son, Goten, and he met Trageta, as well. The three of them got on famously but Kurama could see that Goten much preferred Trageta's company. Then another memory surfaced from his past. Hiei, the Forbidden Child of the Koorime that reeked havoc throughout the Makai, just the thought made Kurama smile. He had forgotten this memory; the memory of when he and the little fireball had wound up as slaves to the same master. Although the circumstances were not pleasant, remembering his first encounter with the fire youkai after several years was.

Hiei had been no more than a wee thing when a little older Kurama met him in their master's dungeon, the fox having been brought first. The little youkai was so scared that he curled into a ball the second the door to their cell had been locked shut. Kurama could see the little thing trembling and not just from the cold of the cell, either. The kitsune, in his animal form, slowly got to his feet. The master had had the fox (physically) not long ago and he was still sore from that encounter. However, once on his tired feet, he stumbled as he realized one of his appendages had been broken. He'd have to see to that after he checked on his cellmate. Kurama limped to the bundle and gently nudged it with his nose. The little youkai started and slapped the fox in his snout.

"Hey, that hurts, y'know?" the near twenty year old (200 in Earth years) fox youkai whined as he lay down to rub his nose.

"That'll teach not to stick your nose in other youkai's business, now won't it?" the little bundle slowly sat up, a scowl on his little face.

'This little slip's had it as hard as I have. He can be no more than five (in the age of youkais: 10 human years=1 youkai year). Poor little thing,' Kurama thought to himself.

"I don't need you to pity me, foxy. I had no intention of getting caught but the bastards I was running with left me to my own devices and the slaver caught me. Now, I'm cold, hungry and tired, and I wanna go to sleep!" the little one hissed.

The fox smirked, left the little bundle then returned with something in his mouth, which he dropped onto the youkai's lap. The youkai regarded the item with a scrunched up face.

"It's not much, but you can have. I found a few rats and munched on them before the 'seer’ brought that to me," Kurama nodded.

The little youkai lifted the bone with tiny hands and Kurama lay before him to watch him eat, his tails-he just had two at the time-wagged in hope.

"What are you looking at? You said I could have it and don't even think about making me your next meal because I can wield a mean katana and might make you my lunch!" the youkai threatened between bites.

"I won't attack you. I'm admiring you, your youki is familiar to me and I can't know why. Have you a name, small one?" the fox asked.

"Hiei. I'm part fire youkai and part Koorime," Hiei replied bitterly.

Kurama sat up taken aback. Could it be? The infant that had been with those Ice Maidens some years ago that had sought refuge in the camp Kuronue and himself had made after a heist? The fox sniffed the youkai and was delighted to find his senses correct.

"I remember you, now! Two Koorime females brought you to my camp with my partner and myself. They were seeking refuge because they had rescued you from your fate. Apparently you had been tossed away because of being a male and for Caliento being your tousan," Kurama began to explain.

Hiei was shocked but hid it well. "You know my sire? Why didn't he rescue me?"

"He didn't know you had been born. He and your mother were secret lovers. Your mother managed to gain his heart where his first lover could not. His first lover is an evil bitch named Murkuro; pray you never meet her. Anyway, my name's Kurama," the fox nodded as he resumed his prone position in front of Hiei.

"Oh, aren't I the lucky one to have the lascivious Legend, Youko Kurama, as my cellmate. Go ahead, then, do what you will. You'll take me, anyway, to get your rock off," Hiei spat as he finished his meal.

"No, I won't. I mean I will eventually, but I don't do children. I don't even like to kill them, despite the stories. I would have raised you to be my chibi had a band of thieves not stalked into my camp and stole you from me. I've been searching for you for the longest of time and now, we're together. Will you let me heal you?" Kurama asked.

"Can you do that as a kitsune?" Hiei huffed.

"I can lick your wounds then transform to Youko and grow a healing herb for you to chew until your own abilities kick in," the kitsune smiled.

"You talk too much. Go to bed," Hiei snorted as he went to lie on the cold stone floor.

"Not the floor! For you, it'll be too cold. May I warm you?" the fox asked and was surprised when Hiei gave the nod.

Returning to reality, Kurama smiled. Following that first meeting, the two struck an alliance and along with Kuronue, became three of the most feared youkai thieves in Makai.

"Hey, Rama-chan, what brings you here? Koto and I thought you were in Living World for awhile?" a small voice cut into the Youko's musing.

Kurama slightly bristled at the endearing greeting but considering the voice was that of a child, he let it slide. The silver kitsune looked around and spied a tiny version of the Dark Tournament's announcer, Koto, the golden-brown blonde fox girl, and a golden blond kit by his side.

"Hello, Shippo, Tails. Where's your big sister, Koto?" Kurama asked.

"His big sister is right here, you gorgeous hunk, you. How're you doing, Youko-sama?" a very attractive female golden-brown blond youko smiled as she sauntered up to Kurama.

Kurama inclined his head in greeting. "Koto-san, how have you been since the tourney? You know another one's coming up soon but more for sport and play," the silver kit sighed.

"Why so glum? Hiei torch those tails of yours?" Shippo teased.

"No, my mate would never do such a thing. Koenma had located results of my younger days and brought them to Living World... Wait, why am I telling you kits this? The pair of you aren't even old enough to grow death trees. Your sister would have my head!" Kurama balked.

"Which one, beautiful? Say, you mentioned another tourney? Have they got an announcer yet, I wonder?" Koto mused.

"I don't have the details but I do need to get back to Living World and decide what I'm gonna do about those kits," Kurama sighed.

"Bring them to my territory, kitsune," a deep voice cut into the near silent Makai forest.

"Who approaches? This is neutral ground?" Kurama snarled and jumped off the branch.

"It is I, Raizen, and I would be more than willing to give shelter to your spurned offspring," Raizen offered.

"What are you about, Raizen? Do you accost my general?" another voice cut in and Raizen bristled.

"King Yomi, a surprise. Do you need an army in this territory? It is neutral ground, after all," Raizen pointed out.

"I hardly think that four half merakits constitute an army. These belong to the Youko," a goat beast with six horns and six ears nodded to Kurama.

"What are you about, Yomi? Is this a new means of torture to get me to accept your offer? I told you no!" Kurama clamped down on his budding anger.

"No, but I would think that since you and Kuronue were so tight that his offspring would like to know their 'mother'," Yomi, the goat king, ground out.

Kurama looked up at the beings that had accompanied the goat youkai and fell to his knees. All four of the beings had the wings of a chimera, of which Kuronue was. They had fur covered pointed elfin ears, silver streaked black hair; gold flecked purple eyes and steel gray kitsune tails. It was obvious that there were two boys and two girls, however, the boys looked more like Kuronue and the girls looked more like the Kitsune himself if he were a female with silver blackened hair and not a breeding male.

Tears sprang from the fox's eyes as he stood to overlook the kits. He shook his head and choked on his tears as he held his arms open to accept the kits.

"Inari-sama, why didn't anyone tell me? I thought I couldn't breed for the one I loved until now, with Hiei's kit in me," the Youko sobbed.

"T-tousan, a-are you a-ashamed of us?" one of the females asked, which made Kurama sob harder.

"I think he's happy beyond words. You've done your good deed for the century, Yomi, now clear out. I'm sure Youko would like to be alone with his children," Raizen pointed out.

"Oh, Kuronue, I wish you could see them, my love. I wish you were here. I'd have never left," Kurama stated more to himself. "H-how? How could I have had his kits and not know I was carrying?"

"Before that incident that took his life, you were carrying and after delivering the cubs, those of us who knew what you felt for Kuronue hid them for fear that at the sight of them, you would react negatively," Yomi explained. "Why are you here... Wait, Koenma, right? He found those mange tails and decided they should get to know the being who sired them? That toddler has a lot to learn! I'm sure you don't remember any of the poor creatures that had carried them for you."

"Besides Kuronue there's just been two others I know I have cubs with and the only ones I thank Koenma for bringing to Living World are the kits I share with a Saiyan named Kakarrot," Kurama replied.

"Did someone mention my name?" a high male voice asked.

Kakarrot, his sire and brother had decided to see King Enma but caught sight of the gathering in the neutral zone of the Makai. Kurama looked up from hugging his other cubs to find the three Saiya-jin walking into their camp.

"K-Kakarrot? What are you doing in this world? Where are the kits?" Kurama asked.

"Kurama? This is how I remember you. Who are these kits and why do they have bat wings?" Kakarrot ask as he and the fox hugged.

Kurama burst into a wide smile. "These are the children I had for the first real love of my life. His name was Kuronue."

"Kuronue, hmmm. I met him in King Enma's palace and we struck up a convo about our lives. He told me he'd been a thief who died while trying to retrieve the source of his power; a ruby pendant from which he created scythes," the Saiyan explained.

"How was he?" Kurama could not believe that his first love's spirit still existed.

"That was right after my sacrifice to Cell and he seemed all right but I could tell he had a broken heart. He told me about you. Guess that's why I went with you when we met after I had lost the tourney. These are his kits, hey? They're beautiful, just like ours. Did you cheat on me?" the Saiyan growled.

"No, I birthed these kits for my first love ten (youkai) years before you even existed. In Living World terms, 100 years. By youkai standards they are still children. Like Saiya-jin, Youkos mate for life. What brings you here, I thought you were training the others?" the kitsune asked.

Kakarrot hung his head and heaved a sigh of dejection. "He and Vegeta had a lover's spat over Vegeta's ability to reach the femme form of the open Saiyan male. This boy needs his head examined! Wouldn't blame my prince if he tossed this brain-dead idiot aside and took up with that human that greeted him earlier," Raditz smirked with a devilish grin.

"Vegeta wouldn't do that to me, we're bonded! He loves me and I love him!" Kakarrot spat.

"You have a funny way of showing it. Why don't you tell Vegeta it bothers you when he goes femme? It won't stop him, but at least he'll respect your feelings and not do it around you," Raditz mused.

"W-No, that's not it... Well, yeah, it is but I had no idea he liked doing such! He's always been so hard edged and difficult to get close to. He's so gorgeous and I have a difficult time in restraining my desire to throw him down and take him to another galaxy at the same time. I get so jealous, I see green and I just know that human's having the time of his life with my mate. I can't stand others seeing what belongs to me and ogling at his assets!" Bardock's youngest snarled.

"When you can get over the jealousy, then you've grown up and accepted that your mate will never stray. Right now, your bond is still new, just like any union where two beings share the same life and home. I'm sure it was like that when you married that human female," Raditz pointed out.

Kakarrot hung his head. "I-I have no idea. She tricked me into marrying her then drugged me to keep me from straying. She's control happy and was glad when I'd devote time to her. Then I met Vegeta. I wasn't too concerned about you but when I saw Vegeta, I knew I wanted him but my 'humanness' battled against me and I had promised to be faithful to that female for my son's sake. Things fell apart after my venture to Namek and I was away for so long. I was never really married to that female, after my return this last time, she upped her poisoning of my body to keep me in line. One day while she was out and I was training Goten, we left and have no regrets," Kakarrot sighed.

"Why does it scare you, Kakarrot? I loved playing dress up, especially for my human prom. Did you know that Goten escorted both Trageta and I to my prom and we were both dressed femme? I did it because I wanted the females to not bother me and Trageta did it because he was with Goten. Are you afraid your maleness will disappear or is it from being raised with human morals and ideals? Hiei is not short to condemn my human idiosyncrasies to my face in attempts to get me to remember who and what I was," Kurama spoke in a serious tone.

Kakarrot shook his head. He was going overboard about nothing and he did want to make his mate happy and become the being he was meant to be. Besides, everyone had been telling him that it was Frieza and not the Saiya-jin's choice to slaughter so many lives and planets. Hadn't Majin Buu done the same with Bibidy, its creator? The large warrior himself was an open male, so he should not have been so irked that he had such a mate, the desired one of the Saiyan race. It was not as if Vegeta hadn't ever dressed femme just for Kakarrot before; and it had never failed to bring the big boy to his knees and have him silently begging for a touch! A smirk that would make the prince proud lifted the large warrior's mouth.

"Let's go. I wanna apologize to the most gorgeous Saiyan male ever set in existence. Come to think about it, having a bi-gendered mate will allow me to cheat without having to seek out another," Kakarrot snickered.

"My God, there is a brain in that head after all. That's just one of the benies to having a bi-mate, I could tell you boys things the king and I did in our youth when we were not fighting for that ice prince," Bardock smirked in a wicked manner.

"Ok, ‘tousan but later," Raditz nodded.

"Kurama, who are these three? I don't remember either of them," Kakarrot studied the two golden-brown blond foxes and the golden twin tailed fox.

"This is Koto, the announcer during the Uremeshi team's first Dark Tournament. That's her little brother, Shippo, and that's Miles 'Tails' Prower from a planet called Freedom," Kurama introduced then he turned to the two Makai rulers and bowed. "I guess I owe you my thanks for locating my beloved's children but I will not pay you in the way that you hunger for. I detest you and I always will," he hissed to Yomi, then he turned to Raizen and bowed. "I shall send the other by-products to you post haste and I thank you for your hospitality. I'll tell Yusuke you said 'hello'," the fox nodded and picked Shippo up. "Are we ready? Let's go, I can't wait for you kits to meet your near sire, Hiei, he's as wonderful as the one who sired you all," Kurama began as he led the fox den from the sight. "Good-bye, your majesties!" he called and the three Saiyan males followed. Once they were a fair distance away, Kakarrot and the others used Instant Transmission to get them back to Little Vegeta.
