You'rewhere I belong

 

 

Aftermath

 

 

He had to leave. The power of what he felt was not settling well with him. How could Vegeta announce he was only a protector?

HE rushed to the canyon that his father, brother had made on of their sparring session. This was his quite place no one would bother him here. He needed to be alone.

5 days ago he had thought he was in love with Valese. They would probably have gotten back together if it had not been for that date. Is that what he wanted? IT really did not matter now what he wanted, He was now mated to his best friend's sister. Who was he kidding she was his best friend. Now, Now she was pregnant! How could have gone so far from what he planned? To top it off now he was forced to deal with his new tail. Grabbing the appendage. HE was complete. But he felt so empty. His dreams of dreams had come true and he was not happy.

 

“Wwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!?” he screamed as hard and loud as he could! Why him, what was wrong with him, he felt so empty when he knew, knew that he should have been as happy as Trunks and Pan seemed. HE couldn't win… he wanted his old life back five days it had only been five days… The he did something that he had not done since his dad came back to live. HE began to cry, and not just streaming tears, but he howled like a lost animal, a newly weaned infant hungry for something that he was to young to even know what for……

 

At CC

 

They had agreed that everyone should stay at Capsule Corps until their lives seem to settle back down. Lessons have to be taught and plans made and the new Saiyans needed to learn to control their Ki. Bra had found a giant t of a women waiting in her suites when she had left the GR. There she was admiring her sketches. Obviously the new seamstress and mercantile from Vegeta-sei. The women spoke the Saiyan language, and she knew she had to inform her father. Carefully y she brought Ryokum down to meet the new King. Surprisingly, Vegeta bent his head and reverence, offered his condolences and was promptly picked up and nearly squeezed to death by the behemoth woman. Tears shining in her eyes for she was happy to see the once young Prince who had left her care many moons ago. It was found that Ryokum was Napa's mother, an elite herself, but procured by the Royal house for her beautiful work. Nappa had been Vegeta's protector and teacher; his father had been a lieutenant to King Vegeta's before he was killed during the battle with the Truffles, her daughters where barracks leaders for the girls ward, trained in the art of battle and seduction. The family had been very close to the Royals, and now the woman who had sewed for him but was his first memory of a woman had been brought back to him; Bra had unknowingly brought back Vegeta's surrogate grandmother. That why how he explained her to his family. Making clicking sounds Ryokum surveyed the new queen and was almost disappointed until she opened her mouth to complain.

 

“Boy you have a feisty one here!”

 

Laughing he explained, “What she uses to lack in strength she had more then enough smarts and a mouth to go with it”

 

Pleased Ryokum surveyed all the Royals and found none lacking in what she considered a going over. She recognized that Bra was like her mother but was much stronger, but had her genius. Bra was a beautiful designer. She had loved the pictures. Not many men on Vegeta-sei would appreciated the finer things in life, at least not the savage warriors, but she loved the arts and the Royal house had missed a woman's touch for a long time and was pleased at the Vegeta's choice of queen and his family. Her surprise however elevated at Pan. As delicate as Bulma and Bra appeared, Pan was cut from a different piece of cloth. She sensed how much Vegeta liked the young chit. Understood what apparently attracted Trunks to her, but Ryokum new who had stood in front of her. It was seeing a vision of pure power, and strength much more than any man possess because a woman's strength went beyond that of just a plain Saiyan. Perhaps Vegeta did not even know why he really took to Pan like a second daughter, why did Trunks feel like he did for her, and his feelings would only grow stronger…..Then she met Goku-Kakarot.

 

Vegeta had never seen the old girls blush, but when she was introduced to Kakarot she did! “Bardock!”

 

“Hi my name is Goku, or if you want Kakarot. Bardock was my father!”

 

Ryokum had faltered for a moment but then regained her self... She had really thought it was Bardock but this man was a gentler man, still he uncannily looked like Radditz's father, whom she had ……..

 

“Ryokum, Goku is my grandfather” said the enchanting Pan.

 

A new light had gone off; Pan's great-grandfather was Bardock? Bardock wife was a 2nd cousin to Vegeta's own mother. Pan looked like Vegeta's mom, so she thought until she met Videl. Videl and Pan Looked just alike, Except Videl had blue eyes. At once Ryokum began a barrage of question to Videl, “who was your mother?”

 

Cocking her head to the side, "Vegeta asked me that this morning, why are you asking me that?”

 

“My dear, you and your daughter resemble Vegeta's moms side of the Royal house and it is surprising how much you look like them, even Kakarot own mother was a very distant relative of the queen's family, I thought Pan resembled them from his side, but look Videl, you and Pan look more like Vegeta's mom then did Bardock's wife. Kakarot's mom. Vegeta and Radditz were comrades because of the distant connexions. Those boys were destined to be bonded. I see now why Vegeta and Kakarot are as close, but you say you are from Chickyuu, not really born Saiyan, I say that that is false, You are Saiyan now but I would bet my life that you were Saiyan to begin with.”

 

Pan scrunched up her face and let out a howl "eeh I am related to Trunks??? Not like his wife but like a cousin????”

 

“No, it is all indirect many generations back and removed. Don't fret Child you are not blood related at all like that. Your ancestors have connexion, but it makes more sense to see why you resemble the family in looks and attitude. It seems that some traits are stronger then others. I see why now Trunks and Vegeta feel thee way they do. It was the same on Vegeta-Sei. The king was enamored b his queen Vegeta's mom. And Bardock would never have given me a look if it had not been for the death of his beautiful wife. The women of that family were had great strength and tempers, but oh could they get into trouble! But the men who feel in love with them ……” Ryokum had weaved such a fascinated story.

 

The crowd in the living room had grown considerable since they Ryokum had started talking. Everyone was wondering the same thing about Videl and Pan. Their lives had been twisted among everyone's here, and no one knew for sure Videl's mothers ancestors, it only left to question Hercules, who was with Gohan learning how not to step on his new tail in the GR.

 

Quietness had feel over the CC living room, and then Bra clutched her stomach and chest Cleary hurt. A raw cry passed her lips. Bulma jumped hoping that it was not the baby, Bra could only let the tears fall as she tried to talk. No it was not her. Trunks was next to feel the hurt and very soon Goku knew it was Goten.

 

`Papa, I, I …. Have” Bra could not even get the word out as to her need to go and get him,

 

“Is he hurt child?” asked Ryokum.

 

Sadly bra shook her head and Vegeta said to her, “hogosha hiren blighted”

 

“He is your mate then?”

 

“Yes”

 

“Is this why you asked for me to come here?

 

“Sort of. I wanted someone to help me design the clothes for a gala I wanted to have a traditional ceremony to make him feel right, for me…”

 

“Vegeta, the boy needs help, you must break his connection, it has to be one or the other, and he cannot have both roles in Bras life. He must choose one or the other. Bra has planned a for a ceremonial awakening, the commencement for such a feat, plus a coronation is in order! It is a good thing that Bra wished for me to be here!'

The old lady huffed grabbing Bra by the hand and taking Pan with her they swept up the stairs back to Brass rooms.

 

Amazingly, Vegeta shook his head; he could not have imagined that by wishing for the best seamstress would also bring the best person back to his life to help. How fortuitous was this?

 

*Vegeta?*

 

“Kakarot you stay and help your woman adjust help Gohan with that idiot I will go and See to Goten myself. I feel I might be at fault for some of this”

 

 

Vegeta flew off to where Goten was suffering. It was so clear now where he was, he was not even trying to hide his Ki, Vegeta doubted if he could considering he was a full blood now, but the confusion it gave off…………

 

“Trunks don't follow me!”

 

“Father he is my brother my best friend can't leave him to suffer like this, I have tried everything today it is just too much!”

 

“Go home, get some rest, tomorrow you have to face the slew of reporters from your weekend adventure, this has to stay out of the limelight. You need to be there with your mother. Go back; I need to see Goten alone!'

 

Trunks dropped back. The day had been too long and it was still only Monday. How could so much have happened so fast?

 

His mother was reading papers when he found her…

 

Speaking to him before he spoke, “It does not matter anymore. All these test. It's true though, Saiyan's give power to their mates. Look Trunks, Chichi and I both have Goku's and Vegeta' blood type, how could we have missed it before?”

 

Trunks placed his head on his mothers shoulder. The only time he had done that was when he was very small. Feeling with her new abilities she quietly patted his head. Thankful that he now and she were full Saiyans, their motherly and son relationship had not suffered. If anything she now could feel more what he was feeling then before. The Tests did not matter anymore. They were all Saiyan, the whole lot. All the mattered was bringing Goten back into the fold, His mind was not right. “It is a psychosis of a sort, This I am sure of!”

 

“Great, father is not the world renown therapist I would send a dog to~!”

“Trunks you father is a changed man, he is older now more mature, look he even plays nice with Goku. He is not so bad, not really!”

 

Mother and son smile together. IT was true Vegeta had changed over the years, but after seeing the transformation form Prince Vegeta to The Saiyan no Ou, Trunks had seen a certain maturity and patience he swore his father never had possessed before. Maybe becoming the King of a people rather then just being their Prince did that.

 

Bra wanted to lie down. She did and Ryokum and Pan began to go over what they might need to begin with. Making lists was always fun, and they quietly left Bra on her bed while they worked in the studio.

 

 

It hurt like hell. She had hoped by making everyone a Saiyan that He would snap out of it. She knew that Vegeta had to give over and grant Goten a higher marking. She knew he had to feel worthy to be for her. She thought he would have spoken to her when Vegeta announced them to the Z-gang. But Goten only stepped behind her and was silent. He would not even speak to her. Too much had happened now. Now he was off hurting more then she even knew he could. Her tears cut like glass it felt so dry in her eyes, she closed them and silently tried reaching out to him if only to ease his pain. HE was crying. What bothered her more was that he felt so confused about what they had did, like he regretted it. He wanted things like they were! No but he was her dream she was his, She knew that, why was he badgering himself over this like that! The beach came to mind, “Goten, I have always liked you I think I love you and I oh please don't stop I think I would die if you were to stop.” She smiled as she remembered those kisses. Relaxing a little she sent her love to Goten, knowing that if she pushed through his mind hard enough he would hear her. (Goten I love you, please hear me I love you so much please come home to me to us!)

 

Son's Fighting Place

 

Goten stopped crying. HE looked up mouth wide open, he could feel her. Why had he forgotten to listen?

 

“Boy! We need to talk!”

 

Why does he have to always be there to ruin it?

 

Bra

 

Goten, I do love you, I want you no one else, it has always been you please come back to me

 

Bra

 

Goten please hear me, I want my Son Goten, my best friend, I need you, we all need you!

 

Bra

 

Vegeta could hear Bra too, she was trying so damn hard to get Goten to be himself, and fool boy could only sit there.

 

“Enough, Goten look at me!”

 

Upon hearing words spoken by his King, Goten had stopped staring in to space listening to her voice in is head.

 

“Sire!”

 

“Cut with formalities, I need to talk to you”

 

“Yes”

 

He knew he had to choose his words carefully. If Goten did not understand them then he would leave and probably not be heard from again. Or if he was like his own father he would take a week to figure it out, either way the bond he shared with Bra might destroy the both of them.

 

“You are no longer my daughter's hogosha, I am ending that today. She is no kindachi in need of protection. Do you understand that?”

 

By becoming a full Saiyan, one enormous thing had occurred. The Saiyan language had been given to them all. This time certain words that Vegeta spoke had made an impact.

 

Goten had just been relieved of his sworn duty to his charge. Only death ever released one from that duty, or by law; the King himself.

 

“Good, you have made a wise decision Your Majesty.”

 

“You agree that she no longer needs yo… inochimyouga?

 

“I agree with your decision, I am not fit to serve My Ou”

 

“No, at this stage you are not, but that is not the reason I have ended this allegiance”

 

“Bra is no Chibi, not anymore; she is a young woman, jisou ne? Ninpu hitadzuma, wakaru? I release you from your duty to the crown for her hogosha. Icchi, You must prepare. I release your from one duty but I warn you are not relieved of your honor. DO you know what you must do?

 

“Hai, I think so”

 

“You think so? You must be absolute because if you feel so unfit to guard her form people hurting her, which you seem to be doing, you are free from it- but you can't be with her if you can't rank. That I will never allow, she won't have you that way, wakaru?

 

He left

 

Goten sat down again. Relieved of duty was a relief. Inventorying his feelings now still had him perplexed. He was no longer her protector. What did that mean? He was still friends with Trunks, for this he knew would never change they were brothers. Pan is his niece. And Kami knows that he still is mated to Bra. He needs her but when he sees her he vacillates…..She loves me? HE knew she had told him that, what does that mean, Its only been fives days he was in love with Valese, what a waste that was what a joke…..Bra made him strong, she adored his fighting…..

 

Goten was still deep in thought he failed to recognize a fast oncoming Ki's, he should have at least been surprised to find the ones who were fast approaching him now….

 

 

Master Roshi and the Ox king were fast approaching. They had sensed Goten's presence. The once master and his student had taken the liberty of enjoying the new power the dragon gave them. IT had been years since either was able to spar. The Ox had grown too large and Master Roshi too old to fight. But hey, they were not buried yet so they wanted a go. Both men looked at each other after spotting Goten. They had been the butt of Trunks and Goten's pranks ever since the two lads meet. So Payback was in order. The master and student split circled around the deeply into thought Goten and sent two Kamehame waves.

 

“Ouch! What the hell!”

 

Damn he was burnt all over. Looking up and taking a stance of a born fighter he surveyed the area, looking up he was mildly surprise, “hey you two old fools what are you doing?”

 

“Ox did that twirp just call us Old?”

 

“Yes I believe he did.”

 

“Let's teach him to respect these two Old Men!”

 

Smirking just like a Saiyan, the quickly began sending him Ki balls.

 

“Hey! Are you crazy?”

 

Flying up to block the little balls Goten decided to give chase.

 

 

They were heckling him

 

“Hey Goten I didn't know you were such a Pussy!”

 

“Nice language Master pervert!”

 

“Yeah well I got another one for you, here boy kiss this (pulling his pants down he mooned Goten)

 

“What is the matter with you two?”

 

Ox king had started laughing too hard to do anything.

 

Goten went to send Roshi his own attack back….

 

The old man was too fast. HE zipped around disappeared and kicked Goten in the back of his head.

 

Ox landed near the two, still wiping tears away, decided to have some fun

 

Goten was pissed now, the old man got him, Mr. Dojo. Not good at all

 

He bounced up and stood staring down the little Master.

 

The earth was trembling, Goten and Roshi paid no mind not until both were caught by two huge hands and tossed in the air, Ox yelled out, “Finger beams!” 10 laser shot from his hands five for each Goten and Roshi! (Gotneks had taught him that one).

 

Goten never knew that his grandfather could run that fast.

 

“Yeah we got you!”

 

“What are you two up to scaring me and then burning my clothes up, why are you picking on me today?”

 

 

“Why not you always tricked me and Ox there, you and that rascal Trunks, then you got Pan into the mix!”

 

“Yeah, Pan gets real mean! Chichi never liked that!”

 

“Grandfather, what do you mean, mom was where she got that from?”

 

“He he I guess you are right! Don't tell her I said that!”

 

“Yeah the old broad would whip our butts now, she is the mean one!”

 

Three laughs could be heard.

 

“Hey Goten me and Ox here are going to go into Satan City wanna come?” (Old man dirty eyes)

 

“No. two old horny Saiyans prowling is not my idea of a good time!”

 

“Yeah it's better then pining for a blue haired goddess,”

 

“What!?!”

 

“Yeah! You're so wrapped up in her that you can't even get it up! What do you think Ox boy?”

 

“I think Goten here needs an easy challenge. He is in no way able to perform up to high standards!”

 

“What are you trying to imply?”

 

Taking to the air the pair gives Goten a backward glance, Roshi has one parting shot, “your whipped there young man, look at you us two geezers caught you off guard, imagine what a real women could do! Those Saiyan women would eat you alive!”

 

The took off hoping that it worked

 

(Later that night when the two old whore dogs returned to CC Ryokum cornered the pair, she taught them what it meant to be eaten alive by Saiyan women!)

 

 

 

He was smiling…..

 

(A/N here is a song for Goten; the two old men had given him a new direction)

 

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do

If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

 

He was a Saiyan, he knew it was By Dende's right that he was full blooded. By destiny Bra was his mate.

Well you got your reasons
And you got your lies
And you got your manipulations
They cut me down to size
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't

 

Valese never loved him. She hated Pan she hated fighting. But after all he was this.

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do

 

He knew he was First Class Elite. Everyone knew how strong his family was!

If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

 

They must all think him an easy target. Those two old men caught him unaware. (“Never let your guard down your enemies will use it against you” Vegeta taught him that)

Seems the road less traveled
Show's happiness unraveled
And you got to take a little dirt
To keep what you love
That's what you gotta do
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can

 

She was by rights his. But he must take what is his. Vegeta would never offer him something. All things were earned: trust, love, friendship, power, and acceptance.

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do

 

He remembered how scared she had been when Trunks use to really hurt him. IT hurt him more to see her Blue eyes tear.

 

 

If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

 

No one knew him better then her. She knew his fears, and his truths. No other woman could.

Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
Sayin' you love where you stand
Give your heart when you can

 

The first time he realized she was no longer a child had been during the Grand tour. Everyday he spent at CC waiting for Trunks and his father to return. HE was never happier that Pan had snuck off. He would have never seen how that precious child became a woman. A woman he thought he could never have.

If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about or love
And what I must do

 

HE did have her. HE loved how she made him feel. The forbidden fruit was his. He was not that dense. But he also knew how Vegeta would have reacted. Third class. Never. She loves him. HE knew it, it felt right. She had always loved just him. It hadn't mattered if he was third class or fist. But it mattered to him. But what really concerned him was, he was mated, he loved her, and he was going to be a father. No one could change those things, except now he wanted His Family, he needed his Wife.

If you could only see how blue her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
