CHAPTER XXXV

ANOTHER REUNION

Once the group had materialized in the common room, they met with the sounds of sorrow and happiness. Sorrow because for many this had been the first time they had seen their monarchs, friends and families in many years. Happiness because the Saiya-jin, both light and dark were once again united under one rule, although it was decided that King Aegar would retain his rule of the golden Saiya-jin. Since it was lunchtime, a huge celebratory feast had been prepared into which the Saiya-jin all attacked with full gusto. The humans, royals and golden Saiya-jin ate with more class and decorum, then the dark king stood.

"Hear, hear, children of Saiya, my people and my children. I cannot express how happy I am to be among the living once again along with my mates and the offspring each of them had for me. To be granted a chance to undo all that Frieza had caused us to do while under his tyranny," the dark Saiyan no Ou spoke. "As with the time I had sent many of our weaker children away to keep them safe from enemies like Frieza and when I sent the others just before the planet had been destroyed, I had difficulty in saying good-bye. In a sense, this is 'hello-good-bye.' It's hello to a second chance at life and to live it for the better and to protect life instead of destroying it. It's good-bye because I know many of you will be remaining here and on the other planets you have settled and colonized over the years. From the home planet, we will be in contact with every one of our colonial planets through the scouter, the intergalactic web that I have just been told of, the race mind link and various other means of communication. It has been the greatest pleasure to see and reunite with all of you. To set things right with my sons and myself, to meet my grand and great-grand chimps and chibis even if they are half-breeds. Thank you all and it's great to be home! Welcome home children of Saiya!" the king held his arms open and the Saiya-jin imitated the gesture.

Prince Vegeta then stood to address the crowd. "Family, friends, parents, grandparents, sibs and offspring, long ago, a rogue prince and two of his bodyguards found that they were the only ones left of their glorious race. For years the three believed that they were the only survivors until they were sent on a purge mission that required an extra hand. The first class warrior remembered a baby had been sent off Vegeta who had never returned to the home world and mentioned that the babe was his infant brother. That warrior was given permission to locate his brother and return him to the fold. What that warrior didn't realize, was that his blood, his brother had fallen as a child and received a head trauma that wiped out the memory of his previous existence. The infant, who was just at the age to be conditioned, was raised to be, act, look and seem like one of the natives on the planet he had been sent to destroy. When the warrior located his 'brother', a major battle erupted; the Saiyan warrior lost his life but not before he revealed the existence of two other Saiya-jin both much stronger than he himself was. A year following that, Nappa and myself ventured to Earth and encountered that 'lost' Saiyan after we had battled his Earth friends and his own half-bred child into the ground. After watching that lost Saiyan make Swiss cheese of Nappa, I understood how he could kill his own kind. He caused me to kill my own kind when I killed Nappa but that fool had become useless to me. I knew then I had to fight the warrior but before we fought, I offered him Nappa's place as my right hand. I knew that with him, we could rule the universe and destroy Frieza. He would have none of it, so we fought, and fought and fought. We fought every day in some manner or other against what we both knew in our hearts was true. We were destined to be together as one being.

"As the years went by, we had both out grown our unions with a couple of Earth's loudest banshees commonly known as 'wives'. Thus the shrew I had shacked with and gave pleasure to had tossed me out of her dwelling and he ended up just walking out on his harpy and took his youngest son. Recently, we have discovered some eight hundred more of our children on the little mud ball known as Earth, thus, we relocated them to a little island I called 'Little Vegeta.' When we return to Earth, we shall send those children to Kale. I have a teleporter in the palace that can teleport at least thirty bodies at a time. With Kale coming back with us, we will be able to align the two planets and send more of our children home to begin new lives. Long live the Saiya-jin race, the new protectors of the universe and purveyors of life! When you all are ready, King Aegar and myself will begin the teleportation or you can take hold of her majesty and Lady Onya and they can use Instant Movement to get everyone there at once," Vegeta suggested.

This was as hard as seeing them all again. And for Kakarrot, the emotion had to be especially draining as this was his first time meeting any of his family, however, everyone assured one another that they would be in contact and awaiting the arrival of the Saiya-jin from Earth. After the large celebration feast had been disposed of, many dark haired Saiya-jin, who had lived on Planet Minerva for the past number of years, took hold of some one who had a hold onto the king. Some others had a hold of Bardock, Sunrissa and Onya-the two females had learned Instant Transmission while on Earth the other two in while in other world.

"Mother, thank you for your assistance during that Espion-5 thing, although it nearly took you away from me. When I get home, prepare for the fight of your life," Vegeta smiled as he hugged his mother then moved to bow to the king. "My king, I apologize for misjudging you all this time but I'm so glad I found out the truth. I want to make you proud of me," Vegeta kissed the royal crest of Saiya the king wore on his middle finger.

"Boy, you have always made me proud. From the time you screamed into the universe and always. Even though you were rated weaker than any of the other princes of Vegeta were, you were by far the most powerful to ever be born stronger even than I was myself. Yes, my son, you were five hundred kilis stronger than I was but I was not going to send my precious heir off planet! I knew I had no trouble producing either with Bardock or him with me. It was a rare thing for such power to be born of female and I was the proud 'Tousan. Then my mate's female delivered one just as powerful but he could not be kept on planet for fear Frieza would destroy him. It was no mere thing the two of you were sent away. Both of you had the genetic coding for the ascension to Super Saiyan and it is only members of our families that attained the goal so easily. Others had to work nearly to death. We watched from other world as you two trained and leveled up the other Saiya-jin and we could tell from which family a warrior derived. The one's who made level with relatively light training were of Bardock's show off line. Those who had to work themselves into the ground, unfortunately, came from our line. I don't know why it's so much harder for those of the royal house to reach level than those of the elite or lower classes, but I think it's because they fight more than we do. Anyway, we'll be waiting for you, Ichimi, but don't make us wait too long or we'll be down to get you all ourselves! Take care, son. I am proud of you because you are a survivor," the king hugged the prince close, then pushed him away so that the others could position themselves for departure.

With one last wave, the Earth bound Saiya-jin bade the Kale bound Saiya-jin a safe journey, and then the Earth bound turned and bade the golden Saiya-jin a friendly 'see ya later and thank you.' They took hold of the stubborn humans and their own families then both groups of Saiya-jin winked out of sight. The Earth bound Saiya-jin materialized in the middle of the common area of Little Vegeta. The Earth-bound Saiya-jin who had not gone to Minervasei blinked in amazement, then erupted into welcoming shouts and hugs. 18 took the Earth warriors, Chichi and Bulma away to her home on Master Roshi's Island and Kami house.

"Welcome back, highnesses! We heard the entire transmission, and are ready to relocate to our new home," Bruksalada, one of the Highland Saiya-jin spoke with a bow to his prince.

"And so you shall, unless some of you wish to join us in attending the Cerulean City Water Carnival with your offspring. My treat, of course," the prince smirked and his invitation was met with exuberant cheers. Vegeta then raised his hands for silence. "First, those who were with me on Minerva, go refresh yourselves, those without offspring or grown offspring who are ready to leave, follow me," the prince motioned and scores of Saiya-jin with grown offspring followed him, Kale, Collyard and Kakarrot into the palace.

Vegeta led the group, which consisted of three hundred and still growing, to the basement of the palace opposite where the gymnasium was located. The prince stopped in front of a door and entered the lock code then the group filed in. The room was void except for a screen and a control console that stood near the entrance to the room. The middle was just a huge space surrounded by a transparent cylinder.

"This is the interplanetary transport and can beam anything anywhere in the universe. My brother, Kale, and myself will set the coordinates for Planet Kale after we let them know you all are on your way. Brother," Vegeta motioned Kale to the console where the two entered the communication's code for the new home planet.

"Planet Earth calling Planet Kale. Earth calling Kale, come in Kale," Prince Kale called over the hailing line.

"Planet Kale. Friend or foe?" a voice spoke over the communicator.

"Put us on screen and find out, Pomgranata," Prince Kale suggested and the large view screen burst into life.

"Prince Kale! You know your mother and the Ou are both here! We're settling new arrivals. I had no idea so many of our people had been spared!" a large hulking Saiyan the size and resemblance of Paragus exclaimed.

"Well, brace yourself. My brother, Prince Vegeta, and I have discovered another eight hundred and more living on this little planet called Earth. We'll be sending three hundred of them as soon as we align the telaporters," Prince Kale explained.

"Roger, sir. Sending Kale codes, now," Pomgranata said and began typing codes into the console.

"Sending codes for Earth," Kale replied and the brothers began to type in the codes as well as watch the screen.

"Alignment successful. Beginning sequence," an automated voice spoke.

"All right, the first thirty of you step into the teleporter. Kale, can you handle sending them or would you like me to stay?" Vegeta asked his younger sib.

"Oh, that's right! You and K-san need to gather his children from Professor Xavier. I can handle this. It's going to be some job getting them all off this side and onto that one. I'm the one who perfected it on Kale," the younger prince smirked.

Vegeta playfully smacked his brother on back of the head as he got up to leave and allowed for Collyard to take his place. Vegeta tapped his mate on the shoulder then the two left the teleporting chamber.

"Well, love, are you ready to meet your children?" the prince asked as he trapped his mate against an outer wall and caressed the larger Saiyan's cheek.

Kakarrot embraced his mate, kissed him and nodded. "With you there, I can face anything. Thank you, hun, for letting me bring them here," Kakarrot sighed as he nuzzled his love. "C'mon, before we start something we can't finish," the large warrior remarked.

Closing his eyes, Kakarrot concentrated on Professor Xavier, then the two winked out from the palace and materialized in front of the professor.

"Oh, my God! Kakarrot, Vegeta, I didn't expect you so soon. Have a seat and I'll call your kids in," the wheelchair seated professor said then pressed a button on an intercom. "Akannia, gather the others who were with you earlier and come to my office," he spoke.

Not two minutes after the call, the door opened and in stepped the fourteen beings, which resembled Yamcha and Kakarrot. Vegeta held onto his mate as the large warrior choked on a sob.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," he cried and the prince released him so that he could go embrace his children. "I didn't know, I swear, I didn't know. The place Kami sent me to deliver you all, they never told me what became of you. Forgive me," the large warrior cried as did the children and they all embraced.

"Dad! We got put of our homes, why? The momma said I hurt her baby when we were play fighting but I didn't know I was so strong," one of the youngest boys of the group cried into Kakarrot's gi.

"Oh, son, I know. C'mon, grab hold and we'll take you to a place where you can fight and beat up others just like you and they'd love it!" Kakarrot sniffed then looked to the professor. "Thank you, sir. I owe you a debt of gratitude," K-san said as he held onto his children.

"Any more come to you, send them immediately to Little Vegeta. My son, Trageta and his mate, Goten will be remaining on Earth. They'll see that any other Saiya-jin get relocated whether here on Earth or the Saiyan new home planet. Thank you and your team for everything and if you all need help with your fight, just call the palace and my son will send the troops," Vegeta said as he stepped over to his mate and the offspring. The prince placed a hand atop Kakarrot's head then put two fingers of his other hand to his forehead and the group winked out of sight.

The group materialized once again in the common area of the palace where a huge fire was roaring and a gigantic beast was being roasted.

"Dad, Uncle Kakarrot, welcome back. We decided since we'd have more mouths to feed that we'd better hunt and have things ready. Greetings, children of Kakarrot, I am Prince Trageta no Ouji, Little Vegeta, Prince of the demi-Saiya-jin. Come, feast and we'll introduce you to the major half of your make up," Trageta waved his arm towards the common and Kakarrot led his children to join Gohan, Piccolo, Goten, Cilantra, Cornelia and the ten offspring of Goten and Trageta. The large warrior sat with all of his children, Akannia, his eldest at his right side.

"I'm proud of you, Trageta. Initiative is a priority whether running a kingdom or a multi-billion yen corporation like Capsule Corp. At some point you will have to move into the city and learn that business from that woman, who birthed you and your sister," Vegeta spoke as he and Trageta moved to join the others around the fire.

It was evident that much of the population of Little Vegeta had been relocated to the new home planet, Kale, thus Prince Kale sat with both of his mates, Collyard and Tormatanna, who was in her sixth month of breeding. Kale had been told that his female would be required in Other World, thus he had begun to distance himself from her, however, that was the Saiyan way. Once the female of a bi-mated male was breeding, he separated himself from her and drew closer to his male mate. Kale, having found his male amour in Ceraina's second elder brother, had bonded with him during moon phase and now, they, too, were expecting. It sent a thrill through both to know that the other was carrying their seed in his body. Nonetheless, the families settled down and Kakarrot, along with Gohan, Goten and Teresahan began to acquaint Kakarrot's eldest offspring with their Saiyan heritage. The girls, although, were repulsed, yet fascinated to finally know why they could not actually relate to 'girly' things. For one, all seven girls had on casual sports wear ranging from jeans and T-shirts to sweats. They also found out why they had such disagreeable natures and craved destruction. The boys were fascinated. It explained to them why they had been drawn to all forms of violence and fighting. On the other hand, they also loved quiet and solitude, intense training and sparring and all the offspring had been placed into martial arts classes when they were chimps.

"Now, I know why I was so smart but also had this wild nature no one could seem to tame. It also explains why I was a natural bully and always beat up kids weaker than I was. So, here, we can be ourselves and no one will care? Even if we beat up the females?" the youngest son of Kakarrot's first born children, Pericule, asked.

"We might even challenge you to a fight. In fact, I think I will. C'mon, kid, gravity trainer four, 10x gravity," Teresahan challenged Pericule who suddenly shied away.

"Don't be afraid, son. Just reach inside, pull out the nature that made the Earth family send you away and don't hold back," Kakarrot soothed his son.

"I-I've never trained in a place like that. I might get squashed," the boy fretted understandably, however, the fact made Vegeta roll his eyes.

"Kakarrot, go train your children. We'll not leave this planet until they are at least level-1. I'm going fishing. Teray, Cilvi," the prince called his two daughters who jumped to follow him.

Vegeta took his girls and the newborns to the lake where he stripped as did his daughters. Vegeta and Teresahan wrapped the infants in their tails, then the three dove into the water.

"Oh, Matusan, this planet is so lush! Is it all like this?" Teray asked as they swam leisurely as they lay on their backs, chimps on their stomachs.

"No, where the witch lives it's all dirty and grimy. It's called a city and it's nasty, but it has a cool shopping mall! Maybe after the carnival tomorrow, daddy'll take us. It's not as pretty as the Plantation but it has its moments. Daddy, can I hold Roma, please?" the little princess held her arms out for the infant princess and Vegeta handed her over.

"Be careful of her head. Even though she is Saiyan, she's still an infant. When she's a month old, she'll be able to hold her head straight. Saiyan chimps develop quite rapidly during their first six months. I'm glad you've adapted to being Saiyan, my daughter, it means a lot," Vegeta smiled as he swam back to shore, climbed out and chi dried himself.

At that moment, a scream cut the darkness. "Daddy, I lost the baby! She fell out of my arms!" Cilvi shrieked as she looked through the water.

A shriek of a different kind cut into the air as the strong wail of an infant sounded from mid river just as an explosion of power rocked the ground. The three took to the air and spotted Roma being carried down river.

"She's being carried to the falls! You two get dressed and take Chardonblis back to the palace. I'll get Roma!" Vegeta ordered but his daughters were reluctant to go. "I SAID GO!" he shouted and the two vacated then the prince flew down river to the point where a large waterfall began. The prince positioned himself under where his daughter would tumble over the falls. Thus, in twenty seconds, he had a screaming female chibi, cold, wet and not very happy in such a condition, snuggled close to his chest. "Shshsh, my chibi, daddy's got you. There, there, I know that water's cold. I don't think Cilvi meant to drop you, so we won't punish her too much when we get home," Vegeta soothed as he rocked his daughter back and forth and warmed her with his chi.

As all Saiyan parents, he sang the Saiyan lullaby to soothe the little one into slumber land. When the prince heard the even breathing of his infant, he wrapped her in his bushy tail, gathered his clothes then got dressed. After he was dressed, he returned to Little Vegeta and to the sound of battle. He searched the common for his mate but could not locate him so surmised that the large Saiyan was training his elder offspring. The prince then located his daughters, who themselves were nodding. Vegeta lifted Cilvi into his arms and woke Teray who had Chardonblis, then the four of them entered the palace, dressed the chimps for bed, placed the chibis in their cribs then the two eldest daughters prepared themselves for bed.

After singing his two elder princesses to sleep, the prince left the palace and entered the largest of the gravity trainers where he punched the gravity to 600x and began his own training routine. It felt so good to get back into training and conditioning his body as both carrying and delivering a chibi was hard even on the most perfectly toned body. Vegeta was in the middle of performing an intricate spin-kick-jab-triple backflip combination when the movement came to a sudden halt. This always happened when he was performing. He knew that the two females who had stopped him previous were no longer a part of his world, so that left... Kakarrot? The prince opened his eyes and his eyes widened in surprise.

"What brings you in here? I didn't know you knew the Instant Movement plus, how can you stand in 600x gravity?" Vegeta addressed the being, which had interrupted his training.

"Learned in Other World. King Kai had located a gravity trainer that could reach 10,000x, so we trained there. I'm at level-2, y'know! Well, little brother, we haven't sparred since I came from Other World, so I thought I'd give you a try," it was Raditz who had had the temerity to interrupt the prince.

"Well, well, foolhardy as always, heh, my elder brother? Let's get it on, but what of your mate? What's he doing?" Vegeta asked Raditz.

"I think he's been here too long. He had to put his eight youngest chimps to bed then he retired like some tired femme after delivery. I don't think I could handle such a weak partner," Raditz spat.

"You weren't the tower of strength after Vegetzu, you know. It took almost two vials of Vincentian venom to restore you to full strength," the prince shot back.

"Well, what of you? You just delivered yesterday on Minerva?" Raditz countered.

"Three days ago. One day on Minerva is three days here. Minerva's a very slow turning planet although she does have a 28 hour day," the prince replied, the two had been fighting the whole time they had been talking.

Suddenly, Raditz went flying into a wall of the chamber and nearly through it as Vegeta's Pilzara tail whipped out from his lean body and slapped the large warrior in the chest, both had flipped into level-1 Super Saiyan. The prince had only been SSJ-1 when he executed the move. Vegeta powered down but retained his fighting stance as he waited for Raditz to regain himself. When the large warrior failed to get up after twenty minutes, the prince released his stance, powered down the gravitron and moved to assist his brother. The prince had no idea the tail was as strong as that, for not only did it send Raditz flying, it also cracked half his rib cage. Vegeta had to act fast as the time that Raditz had fallen and the immediate now had been extensive, the prince knew he had very little time to save his first male love. Vegeta took off his gloves and searched his hair for a senzu bean and sighed in relief when he located one. Lifting Raditz's head to his lap, Vegeta dropped the bean into is mouth and worked his slackened jaw to crush the pit then he aided the bean down the big warrior's throat.

Five minutes later, Raditz began to regain consciousness as his wounds had healed. His head still rested on the prince's lap. Slowly turning his head, Raditz focused on his younger brother's handsome face.

"Chibi?" the larger warrior croaked.

"It is. I'm sorry, Raditz, I had no idea my tail was so powerful!" the prince shook his head as his tail rested on Raditz's chest and forearm.

"You're too soft, baka. This tail, only Vegetanna, your mother, Kakarrot's mother and Ceraina before she passed had tails of this caliber, how did you, Kakarrot, Outusan, and the king acquire the appendage?" Raditz remarked as he moved to finger his brother's tail.

Vegeta saw his movement and quickly snatched the appendage out of reach and jumped up to a standing position as well. "How dare you! Kakarrot is the only one, in addition to myself, to touch my tail! Nobody touches my tail, you understand me? You know how much more sensitive my tail's always been compared to yours and Nappa's. I think we've sparred enough, go to you to your own mate, we'll have a busy day tomorrow. That carnival is one of the universe's most waited for events," Vegeta ordered as he both turned his back on his brother and wrapped his tail about his being.

"I'm sorry, Vegeta, I won't overstep my limits. Good-night," the large warrior bade and left the gravity chamber.

Vegeta heaved a sigh. There'd be no returning to what he was doing, so, after powering down the trainaer, he, too, left the gravity room and headed for the palace.

"Hey, love, wait up?" a familiar voice called.

The sound of that voice sent Vegeta's heart slamming into his chest and his blood racing through his veins. He could drown in that voice along with the ebony eyes, the honey sweet breath, the intoxicating warmth of silk encased steel wrapped around his lithe form. Slowly the prince turned and watched as his own mate made his way towards him. The prince could not restrain himself and wrapped himself around Kakarrot when the large warrior was inches from him. Closing his eyes, the prince inhaled deeply of his mate's sweaty musky scent. Vegeta shivered but not from the desert cold. Feeling his small mate tremble, Kakarrot enfolded his love in his tail as well as his arms, lowered his head until his nose was buried in the prince's soft spiked hair.

"MMM, you smell delicious, like melted chocolate and cinnamon. Thank you again for letting me bring the kids here," Kakarrot's voice was a whisper.

"They couldn't have gone anywhere else. Eventually they would have found their way here through Gohan or Goten. I could hold you forever. K-san, love, never let me go, no matter what. Stay with me for ever," Vegeta's voice was near pleading but at the same time it held the quality of a whisper.

"Now, that I've got you and have won your arrogant royal heart, never. I love you. I always have since our first battle. You know your change came right after that but you never admitted it. I'm glad you allowed me to show you yourself and you finally saw what I had always seen. Your heart was never a frozen lump or a stone but was locked away behind a wall of icy stone to protect it. I knew you had those feelings all along, they just needed to be brought out. Nature and Cilvi's birth did the rest," Kakarrot spoke as he moved his head and began to run his tongue over the top ridge of Vegeta's ear.

"No, not Cilvi's birth. Teray's birth but I couldn't show it. Those feelings were for you alone, as was Teray, our daughter. Why do you think I never brought the three of them to Earth and why I was always away from Earth. There were times Emanu had no assignments for me but we arranged that he would call me after he had received a signal from me that I was at my limit and needed a distraction. That's when I'd take off to Minerva and spend time with my first three Saiyan children born from males. It pissed the termagant off to no end! When she said she had read my journal, she also read about my affair with Raina but what she never read about was my entire affair with you," the prince smirked up into his mate's smiling face. "Wanna go read my journal?" he asked and, with out hesitation, Kakarrot teleported them to the prince's chamber.

Vegeta suggested that they clean up before hitting the sheets and his mate agreed and Vegeta sent his love in first, however, it having been several hours since the other half of his appetite had been satiated, he wondered if his mate would mind company. Slowly, the prince eased into the shower chamber, which itself was the size of a large walk in closet and moved to the door. Suddenly, the door burst open of it's own and the prince jumped back startled.

"Kk, don't do that! How did you figure...?"

"I wanted you in here as well, love. C'mon, you wash my back, I'll wash yours?" the large warrior smirked and waved his large bushy tail in come-hither manner. Vegeta was powerless to resist.

The second the prince reached the shower door, Kakarrot's bushy Pilzara tail shot out, wrapped the prince in its fold and pulled the smaller being into the stall. Once the door had closed, Kakarrot pulled his love into a strong embrace, lowered his head and claimed the prince's heart-shaped lips. Involuntarily, the prince gasped and opened his mouth; thus Kakarrot plunged into the heated cinnaspice depth of his mate's oral cavity. Vegeta placed his hands on his mate's broad shoulders, placed his feet on either side of Kakarrot's body to straddle him and began to caress the larger male with his tail.

"Eager, aren't we, Oujimi?" Kakarrot purred as he lifted his mate and positioned him over his large shaft of heated flesh, then impaled his love onto it with relative ease since he had aimed for Vegeta's larger more pliant male opening and not the smaller one.

Vegeta cried in ecstasy as his large mate's tail entered the other opening sending total mind-blowing haze through his being and white spots of pleasure to dance across his line of vision. While the large warrior worked on evoking pleasure from the smaller being, Kakarrot began to slowly lower the two of them to the floor of the stall. There was no worry about losing the hot water as the water system in the palace was fed by an underground hot spring as for the Saiya-jin, the water had to be as hot as molten lava to be even considered warm! Nonetheless, Kakarrot continued his erotic onslaught as he slowed his movements to that of a snail moving through frozen molasses and it drove the prince insane with want, need and release. Yes, even though the movements were slower, Vegeta erupted like a geyser. Nonetheless, when the prince's body tightened in release, it caused Kakarrot to respond in kind and the two rode the wave of heightened pleasure to its descent, both bodies bursting into SSJ-P as the juices and electricity flowed between and outward.

Spent, the two strong Saiya-jin had to support one another to complete their shower. Kakarrot turned the shower off but kept hold of his near sleeping mate. The larger warrior chi dried the two of them off, lifted his prince in his arms and carried him to bed. Kakarrot lay his love down then moved to locate a set of sleepwear for his royal prize. The large warrior located a set of dark gray sweat pants and matching top, which he dressed his love in, then found a similar pair of his own in a larger size.

"I don't remember putting a pair in here," K-san remarked as he slipped into the sweats then into bed beside his love, who snuggled up to his side. Kakarrot enfolded the prince in his arms and held Vegeta tightly.

"I put those in here for you sometime ago. K-san, I always had us in mind, way before the females entered in. That day you showed up with Goten and announced that you had left the shrew, I had to bite myself from happily screaming. You remember what we did after Goten fell asleep?" the prince's voice held a hint of mischief to it as he closed his eyes and sent a memory to his mate.

Kakarrot gasped, as a vision he didn't think the prince would remember flooded into his mind. "I-I didn't think you remembered this one! I didn't see it during the bond," the larger of the two shook his head as he focused on the image.

In the image, Kakarrot witnessed himself in a shower after he had just walked out on his wife and Vegeta had just returned from Minervasei after three months away. Kakarrot remembered showing up to Vegeta's new home in a bedraggled and half-dead state. As he showered, he felt a whisper of a second presence with him but he dismissed it as his tired and jangled nerves. Yes, the mighty Kakarrot, defender of the weak, allied to good and nightmare to evil, was literally at his last nerved ending. With the Majin Buu incident long behind them, his being dead, his gone off training while Vegeta worked, he couldn't return to the idyllic existence he had once had. Chichi had begun to fuss and scold him more. His sons barely knew him, although it was a great time to get to know Goten. He and Chichi had had a near knock down/drag out when he just walked away to let her rant so that he would not seriously injure her. He took Goten and suggested the two of them go to the city to see Trunks and Vegeta and the twelve-year old was excited.

Renovations on the old mansion the prince had purchased had been completed before he had left to go on a destruction mission and it was located not far from the kids' schools, thus, Kakarrot had no trouble in locating it. He knew the prince was surprised to see the two but he would not show it. He had an image to protect, however, he let the two Sons in and told Goten that Trunks was in his room studying along with a few friends from school. This was a few years before Cilvanti screamed into the universe. Nonetheless, during his shower, Kakarrot could not dismiss the sense of a second presence and jumped out of his skin when he felt something warm and wet against his back.

"Hey, easy, big boy, it's just your host. I thought I'd give you an extra hand since I was in need of a wash myself," a light deep voice sounded and Kakarrot turned and met twin pools of black water sparkling at him.

"V-Vegeta? I-I-Oh, thank you," was all Kakarrot had been able to mutter then he hugged the prince. "I didn't think you'd let me touch you like this again," the large warrior whispered into the prince's ear.

"When I saw you tonight, I had to image ten ton weights about me so that I wouldn't run and grab you in front of the boy. You understand that anything we do has to be kept secret. We can't acknowledge one another if any one else is present and that's gonna be hard enough. C'mon, let's finish in here. I've got something I want to share with you," Vegeta had said and the two commenced with the shower amid kissing and touching.

After the shower, they had stepped from the stall, used their chi to dry off, then went to their rooms to dress. Vegeta left his room ahead of his guest, so after he had donned a pair of loose pajama pants and a long T-shirt, he made his way to another room in the house that housed many musical instruments and various games of mind and skill. Picking up a stringed instrument, Vegeta began to play.

Kakarrot exited his room and his sensitive hearing picked up on a most melodic sound. It was as if an angel had descended to bless Earth with its music. He had followed the sound to its place of origin. He nearly fainted when his eyes beheld the prince, rapture and peace on his stern, hard face, as the lean fingers of his left hand encircled the neck of a stringed instrument and his right hand held some sort of stick. The large warrior made no sound until the music had been completed, then he clapped softly so as not to startle the private prince. Vegeta turned at the sound and nodded.

"I-didn't know you knew how to play musical instruments?" the larger Saiyan stammered.

"Training's not the only thing I do when I'm alone. There's a lot you don't know about our race or me. Your friends would die if they knew and that woman... I don't even wanna go there!" Vegeta said slowly, a pained look crossing his face for a brief moment.

"Still having problems with her, huh? Me too. I don't seem to fit in this life anymore, Vegeta. Gohan's all grown now and married. Krillin, 18 and Marron have their lives, Yamcha's trying to get back with Bulma since... I've never really been around for Chichi, except during the early years of our marriage and Gohan's first four years in existence. Then came Raditz, we fought, Piccolo killed the both of us, I was dead for a year. When I returned, I fought you, got severely injured, was hospitalized for a year recovering until Korin gave me some senzu beans. After my strength returned, I was off to Namek then later Yardrat for over a year and a half. When I returned from that adventure, Mirai Trunks was on Earth with the warning about the androids, the three years training-

"Ah, two year and a half. Six months of that time... Well, you know," Vegeta blushed at what he couldn't say but a small smile played on Kakarrot's full lips.

"OK, two and a half years of training to fight those things, six months spent with you, the fight with Cell, my sacrifice. I didn't know I had left Chichi with a child because I was too caught up in the Other World Tournament. Seven years and do you know who I thought about getting back to during all that time?"

"You know I hate riddles and you left two children behind," Vegeta replied slowly, his eyes down cast, his back to the other Saiyan so as to hide the tear that sneaked from his onyx eye.

"Two children? King Kai told me that I would regret my decision to remain in Other World and he showed me you. He opened a window to the outer world and I saw you in a huge room and you were holding something in your arms and... Singing! I still remember when you sang for me during that time we spent together. So, the bundle I saw in your arms...? I didn't know that you could have children. I'm sorry, if anything, I should have come back to you and I should have taken you up on that offer you made to me in the beginning and taken Nappa's place at your side."

"The other child you left. I conceived her. After your sacrifice and Mirai Trunks returned to his time, I left this planet to have our baby. Kakarrot, I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life, well, next to my mother, sister and you. Not even the harpy with blue hair compares in exquisiteness to our baby girl. Oh, you've got to meet her someday; she looks just like you! You know that offer to take Nappa's place is still open. Let's face it, we're more trouble to those Earth females and they could never please us. We may as well make a go of it. They'll never understand us and when the boys grow up they'll need a guide. Join me, Kakarrot, and together we can start our own families and bring the Saiyan race back to existence and we can rule the universe!" the prince smirked as he set his instrument down.

Kakarrot had moved to an ornately carved chessboard and looked it over, noted that the pieces had been moved as if a game were in progress. Lifting the largest piece, Kakarrot repositioned it and said, 'Checkmate.' Vegeta nearly passed out when he saw what had transpired. Slowly, he made his way over to the game board to look over the setting.

"I-I can't believe that! I sat over that board half the day and couldn't win! How? How did you do it?" Vegeta screamed in confusion and shock.

Kakarrot shrugged. "I saw an opening," he replied with a shrug.

"You, of all creatures can't know how to play such an intricate game as this! It takes genius, cunning, skill and intelligence-

"All of which I have, Vegeta!" the larger Saiyan shot back.

"Y-you play?" the prince asked, his tone skeptical at best as he eyed his houseguest.

"You wouldn't believe me if I said 'yes,' but I can. Grandpa... Um, Old man Gohan taught me as a way to sharpen my concentration and focus. I used to carry his board with me and play whenever the early searches for the Dragon Balls ran dry. I loved playing Bulma. Her ego's bigger than yours is but I always beat her. She was livid and nearly wrecked my board. I just managed to save it from a fireplace," Kakarrot cringed at the memory.

"Sit. We'll play!" the prince said and took a seat behind the ivory pieces as Kakarrot sat behind the ebony. After resetting the board, the two began to play.

And play and play and play, neither one winning over the other, finding that they seemed to anticipate one another's move, which made the games both fascinating and exasperating at the same moment. Following that episode, the rest of the Z-sensi had tracked down Kakarrot and descended on Castle Vegeta like a plague, which threw the smaller Saiyan into a tizzy. That resulted in a lengthy separation from the larger warrior until the palace had been relocated to the desert and that Christmas after Cilvanti had turned 1 Earth year of age.

Returning to the present, the two looked at one another with mischievous eyes. "Race ya to the board!" Kakarrot scrambled off the bed but the prince didn't budge. Feeling his mate hang back, the large Saiyan turned to him and noted his face held a worried frown. Sensually sliding onto the bed, the large Saiyan slinked up to nip at his mate. Nuzzling the prince's neck, Kakarrot ran his tongue along the bite mark the prince carried to show he belonged to the large warrior. "Baby, what's wrong?"

Vegeta snapped from the trance he had been in. "Huh? Oh, honey, I-I'm sorry. I need to go check on Roma," the prince pushed lightly against the broad shouldered Saiyan who sat back and looked his koi in the eye.

"My baby, what happened to her?" Kakarrot's mouth hung open.

"Cilvi lost hold on her and dropped her in the river. Romy's chi exploded from her body when she shrieked at hitting that cold water. I just want to see if she's all right," Vegeta move to get up and his mate assisted him.

The two 'Tousans made their way to the nursery and a chill ran the length of their spines. "ROMA!" they screamed and burst into the room. Kakarrot grabbed the infant, who was cold and gray but breathing shallowly.

"Vegeta, she's dead! My daughter's dead because of yours!" the large Saiyan cried as he held the infant.

"She's not dead, love. I'll be right back!" the prince winked out of the nursery and reappeared in the medical room. "Aquachest, I need some venom, now!" Vegeta snapped and the medic responded.

"How much!" Aquachest asked but the prince took both vial and syringe then phased back to the nursery.

Catching sight of his mate and the needle, Kakarrot shielded the infant. "A needle!? You are not gonna stick that into my baby, no way, no how!"

"If I don't, she will die and we don't want that, do we, love? Turn your head," Vegeta instructed as he readied the syringe with a dosage he himself had been given as a small chimp.

Vegeta lifted his daughter's tiny arm and injected the venom into her system. In less time than it would take to boil water at high flame, Roma drew a breath and whimpered in preparation to scream but the prince knelt beside her Outusan and fingered her tiny Femzoro tail to calm her back to sleep. Kakarrot looked down at the bundle in his arms then over to his mate and a smile graced his lips. A tear escaped Kakarrot's eyes when he felt his daughter had warmed up, her skin tone had returned to a golden bronze color, her breathing strong and even and her chi gaining strength. Vegeta got up, went over to the other crib and lifted Chardonblis from his rest.

"C'mon, Matu, let's take our chibis to bed. We'll play chess tomorrow, after the carnival," Vegeta encircled his mate with his tail and vice versa as the two returned to the prince's chamber, placed the infants between them, crawled under the bed covers themselves, drew as close as they could and clasped hands over the chibis.

"I love you, V-san, and I'm sorry," Kakarrot sighed as his tail slid around his mate's pajama clad leg.

"It's all right, chibi mi. She's fine and she'll be all right. I love you, too, K-san. Sleep, we have a busy day ahead of us," Vegeta whispered as his own tail slid up his mate's leg then the two entwined their tails and drifted off to sleep.

The sounds of battle and sparring ensued from the numerous gravity chambers and the gymnasium itself as the Saiya-jin of Little Vegeta undertook the training of Lord Kakarrot's fourteen elder half-bred offspring.
