Ch. 23

Vegeta stood in front of a cliff thinking of nothing in particular when he felt a high ki. At first he thought that Earth was in danger, but then he subtly relaxed as he realized the entwined ki of Pan and his son Bren. He knew they had been sparring as of late, but he didn't know that Bren was a super saiyan now. He supposed he should have been proud, but lately he felt anything but. He sighed. He knew his life was complicated. He just never knew how complicated it was going to be once he claimed his rightful mate.

Bulma had been a friend. She was still her friend and he couldn't have thought of a better mate than her if it hadn't been for him: Kakarott. He felt a deep whole in his soul and it had been there ever since he realized he felt something different for him. Something that had more to do with caring than hating him. He just felt so inadequate when it came to his pureness, but that hadn't been what had attracted him towards Kakarott. He knew deep within his soul that he was dealing with someone far more dangerous than Freeza himself. For Kakarott was a constant mystery to him.

At first he frowned at the fact that his first born was been in love with Goten because he honestly could not understand why did every one else get what they wanted, what they wished for and he on the other hand could not. Then Sakura came and everything went downhill.

He couldn't really blame her 'cause she was only doing her job, but one thing led to another and suddenly all hell broke loose literally. He knew his father didn't hate him for bonding with a third class baka. In fact, he had a serious suspicion that he knew it would happen. It was as if the fates were against him in every sense of the word.

<Sigh> If only it were that easy. How could he make Kakarott love him? Training would do him no good as he had already claimed him. He could be courteous, but he had tried that and it did him no good as Kakarott shied away from him when he acted unlike himself. What to do? They had no problems when it came to sex. Could he seduce him into saying that he loved him? No, he had tried that before and he could not make him say it. There was no hope for him yet.

"Where is your saiyan pride?" - said a voice so hauntingly familiar yet so foreign to him.

"Who's there?" - he swung right and left and could not trace a ki.

"A ghost perhaps?" - it inquired gently but at the same time it had a trace of mock.

Vegeta narrowed his eyes and tried to make sense of what was only a voice. Probably a voice in his own head.

"I'm not a ghost. Just thought you'd need some company. I would have sent Sakura to finish her job, but she is unavailable at the moment."

The voice slowly began to materialize itself and Vegeta's eyes grew big. He knew who `it' was. Yet he could not form any type of words. The `it' was his god, the almighty Tahoka.

"What? No words? I would think that your father taught you some manners." - his nails were clean and his face was of pure perfection. He was what humans called Zeus, the god of all gods in past civilizations. He was the true almighty one and Vegeta could not even try to start to form a word much less a sentence, he felt that stupid.

"Ok. Since you will not speak to me, I will speak to you. Normally I would talk to a high priest and he/she would talk to my subjects for me. But Sakura disobeyed me and she has payed a high price for it."

"Did - did she die?" - he stuttered out for he could still not believe how Sakura had found the courage to disobey their ultimate god.

"Death? Oh you mean did I kill her? No. I can't kill her. She is after all immortal until her daughter reaches her age which will not happen for a good two hundred years."

".." - He had virtually no answer to that.

"It would only be a good ten years around here, but for them it will be about that amount of time. Although Sakura is far used to it, I'm afraid her punishment is nothing but fun for her. Of course she won't be back, but Lee will."

"Is the fighting over?" - his voice cracked and he knew he looked like a fool, but this was something he needed to know.

"Yes. It's over. I won. The kais won't bother us anymore. As soon as all of us move into Vegeta-sei, we will be in peace. I know you have concerns about your current situation with my son; Kakarott. But do not fear, all will fall into the right place at the right time."

"Your Son?!" - having recovered his wits, Vegeta's eyes widened further at this new tidbit of information.

"Of course. Don't you recognize the male perfection in him as you see in me?"

He was baffled and he was more than inclined to belief that this was all a terrible dream. But he knew that it was not a dream. He wouldn't dream of meeting the true warrior known as the eternal Super Saiyan.

"I changed my name from Keel to Tahoka the day that I obtained the sacred power of a super saiyan. Of course, all of you are my sons 'cause you came from my womb and you drank my blood to become the blood thirsty warriors of today. But Kakarott is my son as your precious Bren is Sakura's by the birth mark made of ki." - already stunned, it was impossible to react with his tenacious and sly comebacks. But Tahoka wasn't waiting for a response.

"When Sakura gave your daughter a bit of her ki it was because you wanted a girl and she changed the course of history right then and there, though she didn't know it. Bra wasn't supposed to be born as a girl but as the male she is now. So her being attracted to Pan was just to be expected. Furthermore, it was all a conflict between the kais and myself included as to whether or not this wayward planet could withstand another Vegeta. I said it could, but they denied me words and I could not act unless my son was out of their clutches even if it were his own idea." - Vegeta just sat back down 'cause everything this god, his God was saying to him made absolute sense.

"Why is Kakarott so angry at me?"

"He isn't angry at you. Just confused. I admit it was my fault for not saying it loud and clear to the whole planet ie: Vegeta-sei, but I was afraid of what the ice-jin could do to him, so I let him be sent out over here. I didn't expect that the kais would use this as an advantage over my plans. They say those who fear power are those who would try everything in their hands to stop what cannot be stopped. I, for one, could not disentangle myself from all the crime that the saiyans did against other planets. So I was punished and therefore Bardock and my son was punished. But we triumphed despite everything; the saiyan prince met his equal and Kakarott defeated Freeza and all the rest of the ice-jin. So everyone is supposed to be happy, right?"

Vegeta nodded dumbly for Tahoka was his God and he didn't dare to stop him from saying what he had to say.

"Wrong. They used my son as a puppet. Kakarott deceived them into believing that he was unknowing to this, but he was not. It was a double edge sword and he knew what he could loose should he decide to stop listening to them. He had no home planet and he had no one to lead him to his fate. So I decide to let him know by throwing Sakura into the fry. It didn't work 100%, but I won in the end and here we stand: alone."

"Am I supposed to wait for him to realize his feelings?"

"So you talk. I thought you had no brain or tongue." - said a voice behind Tahoka and Vegeta growled out in rage. He had not forgotten her.

"Rakhel mind your manners. Vegeta Prince of Saiyans, this is my wife. You know her as the Goddess of Light." - Vegeta didn't bow, but he acknowledge her with a nod and she laughed in his face.

"A man can not rule without a woman by his side. Keel, you haven't told him that our son Kakarott is in love with him but not at all?"

"Women talk riddles you know?" - and suddenly Vegeta saw another man. He was the center of what he thought it was a perfect isosceles triangle with one god in each angle.

"Ah.. my favorite man. My brother Zeus, the gatekeeper. The greeks stole my brothers' name in favor of their god, but they could not make Zeus work at all."

"What she meant was that Kakarott is what humans call straight and I'm not talking just about his human side: Goku." - Rakhel nodded happily and Vegeta could feel a headache coming onto him.

"You are tiring him. Leave him be." - in front of him was Sakura with a young woman by her side. He knew he was sitting down, but he felt as if he were floating on air as if he was standing up again.

"Come on Vegeta, you should be in your own bed cuddling stupid Kakarott to sleep. The brat is making him uneasy."

"How is it that you escaped?!"

"Escape from what?" - she asked puzzled and then she said…

"Oh… my punishment you mean. Well, it's not like I am a reclusive in that space. Just that I prefer to watch from afar and not come any closer to you."

"Ooh! She didn't tell you did she?" - Rakhel giggled.

"Tell me what?!" - he demanded and soon cursed himself inwardly as the simple headache became a pounding in his head.

"That Kakarott and Sakura are brother and sister." - to which Zeus replied.

"Isn't it obvious? Sakura hates Rakhel because she can not obey Tahoka, of course gods and goddesses can't give birth themselves to powerful beings such as Kakarott and this missy here, so they use unsuspecting saiyans for that. Sakura is a powerful priestess and despite the fact that her flesh father told her not to deny herself of those other pleasures, she did, stubborn girl that she is."

Vegeta groaned out loud and Rakhel took this as her cue to leave.

"I want to know why did you slept with Kakarott if you two are related?!" - he hissed out to her.

"We are brother and sister in aura, spirit and strength. Yet in flesh we do not resemble each other at all. At first I didn't know why I survived time and time again until my uncle, the gatekeeper made some truths be told to me. So I committed several injustices and am paying for them now. Two hundred years without any diversion except that of fighting and training. I am going to be bored." - her words began to lower and all information that he might have asked sprung into his mind unbidden. The question remained though, what was he going to do about Kakarott?

Zeus left shortly after and then only one god remained.

"I am sorry you had to find out all about this now. But you asked and I had to answer. Think about your son Bren and you will find your answer there." - with that he disappeared.

Vegeta awoke in his bed cuddling Kakarott and wondered if it wasn't all a dream. Not that far away, Gohan wanted to know if what he saw was true or if it were a reality that he really didn't want to understand.

A/N: Hopefully this won't make the masses hate me too much. I'm going to sleep now. Yeah, I know, I messed everything up all over again. If anything confuses you or is like hanging open and you need explanations, tell me and I'll write a whole other chapter full of answers. Ja ne.
