**Chapter Two**

As the two men strolled down the street, half an hour passed of pushing through hot crowds. Vegeta noticed when his new companion's stomach growled loudly.

Vegeta stopped at the peculiar sound, and Goku accidently bumped into him. Goku quickly stepped back a few steps, looking embarrased. He bowed his head.

" I'm sorry, master!"

At this Vegeta started to laugh a little. " It's alright."

" I'm just so hungry, your highness!" Goku complained modestly.

" How long haven't you eaten?" Vegeta asked.

Goku had to think about this for a moment. " I think 3 days."

Vegeta looked surprised at this, and a little disgusted at how that man had treated such a fine young man. He was surprised the boy wasn't as skinny as a twig by now. He could tell, however, now that he looked more closely, that the boy was in very bad shape. He was dirty, in desperate need of a bath, there were holes in his clothes, and even if there wasn't , his clothes would not be very acceptable anyway.

Vegeta stood with Goku close to him. He looked around, his eyes searching for anywhere selling food. At last he saw a good place.

He took his slave's hand and lead him towards the tent. In a few moments Vegeta had ordered a large turkey leg and some water. He handed them to Goku. Goku looked a little confused at the items.

" These are for me?" He asked. Vegeta nodded. He saw Goku hesitate still to take the items of food from him.

" Just take them. You're hungry, right?" Vegeta said, putting them into the young man's hands. Goku's cheeks turned red at the thoughtfulness of his master and took them, thanking him.

They resumed walking, Goku eating clumsilly as he walked behind Vegeta.

" I'll get you some more food and some new clothes when we get back to the ship. And you'll need to take a bath, also."

" Ship?" Goku questioned. " You mean a ship on water?"

Vegeta chuckled at his question. " No, Kakarot. You mean you've never heard of a spaceship before?"

Goku ignored his question, a look of annoyance on his face. " My name's Goku, not Kakarot."

Vegeta did not like the tone his slave was using towards him. " Well, your new name shall be Kakarot. No more discussion."

Goku was about to ask the prince why he had picked that particular name, but he decided to be quiet until they got to the ship-thingie Vegeta was talking about.

After a little while they finally got out of the endless series of tents and booths to come out in a grassy, plain-like area. It was encredibley refreshing for both men to be out of the stuffy place and out in the lush green open. But it was still uncomfortabley hot out.

They had to walk through a very small stretch of forest before they came to the large landing area of the space ship.

" Whoah!" Goku exclaimed when he saw it. It was bigger than several houses and just as tall. It was an oval shape with yellow ring-like things around it's side and a purple dome at the top. It had atleast 10 huge mechanical legs that held it up levitated above the grass.

Vegeta casually walked up the ramp and punched in a few numbers. However, Goku just stood out on the lawn and gaped at it in astonishment.

The atomatic door slid open for Vegeta to enter. Vegeta noticed that Kakarot was no longer behind him.

" Kakarot!" Vegeta yelled down at him.

" Oh! Coming!" Goku let out. He dashed over to the ramp and scrambled up it.He stopped inches from Vegeta, smiling a little.

" Follow me." Vegeta said, stepping into the long, curved hallway. The floors were covered in rich crimson carpeting, the walls and high ceiling left cold and metal. Goku felt like he was in a tunnel of somesort. He also didn't want to get the floor dirty because of his dirty feet and clothes, but Vegeta didn't seem worried about that at all.

Goku smiled, looking right and left, looking impressed. He'd never even dreamed of someplace as nice as this.

" This is your ship?" Goku asked as they came to another door.

" Yes, mine and my father's. A few other people are living with us here, as are some servants and some more slaves." Vegeta said, stopping infront of the door.

" Oh? Who?"

" Well, " Vegeta said, " My father, for one. Two men named Nappa and Raditz, and then all of the people who are operating the ship are also living here."

" Oh! Okay!"

Vegeta punched in 3 numbers in a small keypad on the side of the door. Vegeta pointed to it.

" Kakarot, if you ever want to get into a room, just press 117. Understand?"

Goku nodded. They entered the room. Upon entering, Goku's jaw dropped at the sight of the room. It was just about the most wonderful place he'd ever seen.

The room's floor was covered in dark purple/red carpet, while the walls were a very, very dark cherry color. The bed was probably the largest thing in the room, covered in white sheets with a thick, red comforter and milky white pillows. There were two closets made with steel doors. There was also a nightstand next to the bed with an alarm clock, and a dresser on the other end of the room. There were three windows, all small and circular. There was also another steal door next to the vanity with a keypad, which lead to the bathroom.

" This is my room." Vegeta said. " I'll have my associates make you a room to this extent in a while. For the mean-time, however, there are no spare rooms except closets, and I doubt you'd like to sleep in one of those."

Goku's smiled brightly at Vegeta, scratching his head modestly. " I've slept in worse places."

Vegeta face softened slightly, as he did not know what to say after a comment such as that. However, Vegeta efficiently broke the silence by walking over to the large dresser. He opened several drawers and shoveled through most of them.

" Hmm." Said Vegeta, " I don't think I have any that would fit you. " He said. Goku was very confused by this, for no one had ever just given him clothes. Either his masters made him earn them doing work in fields or they didn't give him almost any at all.

He was slowly realizing that Vegeta was not like his former masters- He was already, surprisingly, developing a soft spot in his heart for the generous but stern older man. However, he could not forget to respect him at all times and remember that he was just his slave and Vegeta was his master.

Vegeta stood up straight and closed the drawers. " I'll go get you some clothes. Why don't I draw you a bath, so while I find you some clothes in the inventory you can bathe. "

Goku blushed a little, and nodded quickly. Vegeta walked to the keypad and pressed 117 again, and the door swung open for him. He strode into the bathroom with Goku bashfully following at his heels.

Goku looked around the room; it was very, very nice, too nice for the likes of himself, he thought. The floors and walls were glossy tile. There was a single, large mirror with a single marble sink with a single toothbrush. on the next wall there was a glorious looking bathtub that curved into the wall, with many small pedistals with various hair, bath and body products propped among them. Surrounding the bathtub were mirrors that surrounded it. Next to it was a rack that held a pile of neatly folded towels. It was definately a bath fit for a prince.

Vegeta bent and turned on the fossets until the water became nice and hot. Moments passed until the bathtub was filled with steaming water and the glass became foggy.

" Well, see you later. " Vegeta said, and exited the bathroom. Goku stood still and listened as the metalic sound of the door opening proceded, and then he heard Vegeta's faint foot steps fade from his hearing.

He pulled his shirt over his head, and then untied his white belt. He let his pants and under garments slip to the ground. Naked, he dipped his toe in. finding it Enjoyabley hot, he slipped into the tub, the scorching hot water soothing his aching muscles. It was just about the most wonderful thing he'd ever felt. He let out an inaudible sigh, and the water was so relaxing that he thought he might just fall asleep.

~~~

I do not need to tell you how enjoyable that bath was-- I really wish I was in that tub. Sounds so relazing..sigh.. Rather, I really wish I was in the tub with Goku-chan!

Anyways, off that subject!

Feeling revived, rejuvinated and all around good, Goku got out of the tub, his hair freshly washed and smelling wondefully of expensive men's shampoo, and his body glistening with small water droplets. He reached up and pulled two of the soft, velvety towels from the rack. He dried himself off. He wrapped one around his slim waist, and then used the other to dry his hair off. Then, he bent down to open the drain. He walked over to the door, pressed 117, and then walked into the bedroom.

He felt very tired after this day- it was difficult to adjust to such a wealthy life-style after living as a labor slave your entire life.

Goku glared at himself. // You're still a labor slave, baka!// The little voice in his mind yelled at him. He sighed deeply and sat down on the prince's bed, still clad in only his towel.

Thinking of yourself as a slave is not a very happy thing to do, so he tried to think of something that made him happy. The first thing he thought of was Vegeta.

A smile came to his lips and he felt warmth all around him when he thought of his new master. Though he had just met him maybe an hour ago, the soft spot he felt in his heart was growing more and more.

Goku was ripped from his thoughts when he suddenly heard voices from outside the door. It sounded like a man and a woman's, and they were drawing nearer.

Before Goku could clad himself in anything but his towel or even get off the bed, the door slid open.

" Oh I know, that meeting was so--"

The woman's voice suddenly stopped when she noticed the attractive, nearly naked young man sitting on the prince's bed.

The two people were Vegeta and Bulma. Vegeta's face was slightly red, not with anger, but his cheeks rather like embarrasment. He was holding some folded clothes over his arm.

The woman giggled at Goku, who smiled in a modest way. The woman had aqua blue hair with pretty blue eyes. She wore a tight-fitting blue spandex suit and she had quite a nice figure. Vegeta was still in the same clothes as before.

" Is this your new 'slave' Beji?" Bulma said slyly, putting emphasis on the word slave.

Vegeta blushed a little more with an angry scowl on his face. " Bulma...!"

Bulma snickered. Vegeta tossed Goku the clothes, which Goku barely caught. " Go get dressed, baka!" He said.

Goku nodded, bowed to Buruma quickly and then scuttled out of the room and into the bathroom with the clothes.

Bulma poked Vegeta's shoulder, who seemed to be brooding about something.

" what did you buy him for?"

" Just felt like it."

Bulma gave him a look. " You usually don't buy slaves for the fun of it. They usually have a purpose."

Vegeta shrugged. " I felt sorry for him, so I bought him! What can I say?! He's a saiyan like I am. I couldn't just leave him there to be sold to someone else. "

Bulma smiled, and with out a word she snaked her arms around Vegeta's shoulders. Vegeta looked surprised and was about to say something, however, he was silenced when Buruma kissed him on the lips almost forcefully. He hesitated to kiss back, but after a little while he did. His fingers went upward to run his gloved fingers through her silken hair.

~~~~~

Goku examined the clothes Vegeta had brought him. They were much like his old clothes- atleast they looked like them- but they were much nicer, much better quality.

He pulled the white shirt on over his head, and then stepped into the dark green pants his prince had selected for him. He tied them with the dark brown sash that felt of velvet. As he walked over to the key-pad on the wall, he almost slipped on the wet floor.

A smile on his face, he pressed 117. He poked his head through the doorway as the metal door slid open.

" Vh---" He started, but as soon as the sound was from his lips, he didn't have the ability to speak anylonger.

As quick as lightening he pressed 117 again and the door shut as quickly as it had opened.

Goku leaned against the cold, metal door, breathing softly. His lips trembled, as he felt a feeling of despair wash over him. He'd felt despair before- when his masters beat him, punished him-----raped--him....but....this was somehow different than any other kind of phisical abuse he could imagine. It was so deep in his heart...

Vegeta was kissing that girl--he wasn't completely sure why, but it hurt him so much!!-Those two were inlove, right? They obviously must have- people don't just touch and kiss eachother like that for no reason..

Goku crumbled to the floor, pulling his legs up to his chest, sobs wracking his gentle frame.
