This is a remake of the original story, I just modified it and changed a few things. All credit goes to Shinsun1 for the plot and title but the modifications are mine. Hope you guys enjoy this and don't go too harsh on the reviews, this is my first fanfic. Hopefully its not too trashy :').

Rikku(Goku)/Kakarot pairing. All rights and characters belong to Akira Toriyama.

CHAPTER 1

Nothing but light around her as her body was thrown into what seemed some type of portal. Rikku looked around, whirling winds blowing violently. It was all colors and sounds around as she felt herself being ripped from the reality she knew. Her tail lashed in agitation as she seemed lost now. Her power, insanely high, crashed as she was slammed into consciousness.

Kakarot looked up at the mess of branches and leaves. He approached cautiously as he examined the stranger laying in a painful tangle of limbs, twists tangled in a long black snarl of hair, cuts and bruises marring the lush red fur covering most of the strangers small body. What if it was dead…

Picking off a branch that had broken off, he approached warily, as if it might attack him, and prodded one of its small furred shoulder. Kakarot jumped back, immediately going into a defensive crouch, but the person didn't move a muscle. He furrowed his golden eyebrows over his emerald eyes as he stepped forward, placing two fingers on the stranger's surprisingly soft neck. A pulse was there, slow though it was, but this person was still alive. It didn't look like a male with such a small body and he couldn't really see who it was with its tangled hair in the way. One thing was for sure, it was alive, unconscious and injured and heavily bleeding but alive.

"Hey, Kakarot!" A rough voice shouted behind him. He turned, his tail swishing, as he saw his sparring partner, Vegeta, irritated at everyone and everything as always, catch up to him.

"What you got there?" He asked, looking over Kakarot's shoulder at the unconscious body splayed on the tree limb.

"I'm not sure. I found it like this. At first I thought it was a jzagalo, but its body is too small," he admitted.

Jzagalos were large, red-furred wildcats that roamed Vegeta-sei, known for being a nuisance for attacking saiyan villages and stealing young cubs that strayed too far.

Vegeta snorted, "That's currently not a jzagalo, but then what is it? It doesn't look like a male saiyan, it's body is too small."

"I don't know," Kakarot said shrugging, "But whatever it is, its injured really badly. We should help it."

He didn't know why he wanted to help this unknown person, but he wanted it to be okay, no matter if it was friend or foe.

Vegeta rolled his eyes, "You get it, it looks pretty small and not so heavy that you can't handle it. Then we can see what it really is."

Kakarot approached slowly, as if expecting it to suddenly jump up and attack. He grasped its small shoulders and hauled it up gently to not injure it more. The body was surprisingly light as he took it into his arms, gently cradling it to his chest. Vegeta approached him, wanting to see what it was for his own curious desires. Kakarot looked down at it, it had curves, feminine curves and currently build like a saiyan woman would be, especially with its fur covered appendages on its chest. He brushed its hair out of its face and gasped, hearing Vegeta's shocked gasped.

"Holy Vegeta-sei, it's a saiyan woman! But they're extinct! How is this even possible?" Vegeta breathed, staring at the limp form in shock.

Kakarot couldn't believe his eyes either. Saiyan woman had been extinct for years because of saiyan woman dying from giving birth to many saiyan babies at the same time. The last saiyan woman gave birth to over 50 saiyan babies in her lifetime, not a single girl in that batch. King Vegeta had assigned all males to take care of the babies and also made a law where every saiyan male had to have a mate, no matter if it was a male. Kakarot was already betrothed to Broly, man with muscles but no brains. His father had arranged this for him, giving him no room for opinion. It was a peace treaty between his family and the paragus family that had been fighting for many years. It made him feel used, like a possession.

"Kakarot, let's take her to the healers, then take her to your room for rest. No one, I mean no one besides us and the healers can know about this, you understand? If word finds my father, we're all dead," Vegeta said, shocked, fascinated, and a little scared.

Kakarot nodded, "Right, let's go." He carefully held her bridal style and both of them flew to the royal city.

Rikku woke in great pain, everything hurt, especially her forehead, where the worst ache was at, she must've hit her forehead on something extremely hard. She opened her eyes painfully, squinting past her bangs at the unfamiliar scenery. Where am I?

She had retained her Super Saiyan Four form, and she wondered how she had managed to do that when knocked unconscious by...something…

God, what a stupid mistake that was, Rikku thought ruefully. She had never, ever raised her power that high. The strain must've caused her to pass out or something.

She soon realized she didn't recognize this room she was in at all. She was lying on a bed next to a window, which was curtained with wine-colored drapes. The room itself was the color of terricota, with an almost cave-like feel to it. An animal skin rug on the floor drew her attention. Whatever animal it was, it had dark red fur, and it had been enormous. Slowly, the confused saiyan sat up, wincing. She smelled like herbs and she noticed bandages covering various appendages, a large one on her shoulder, almost soaked through with blood despite the bandages being fresh.

She tried unsteadily to get to her feet, bracing her weight on the metal bed frame, managing to stagger a step before collapsing to one knee. She really needed a senzu right now. But since she had no idea how she had gotten here, first she needed to get out. Exhaling slowly, she tried standing up again. This time she got two or three steps in before her legs gave out, and she fell hard, unable to catch herself and falling on her face with a frustrated growl, squeezing her eyes shut to block out the pain resonating through her.

She heard footsteps and a ki signature approaching, one she didn't recognize. Her mind was pretty muddled right now so she wasn't surprised. She doubted she'd recognize anyone's ki right now.

Then she heard laughter. The sound was very familiar for some reason, and she tried raising her head, gritting her teeth in pain.

"You're brave," a cheerful voice said, "Trying to walk with those injuries."

Rikku's vision flickered. The voice had sounded blurred, and everything was wavering. She knew she was about to pass out again, likely from the pain, and she tried to hold on to her dwindling consciousness, not wanting to be vulnerable in a strange place with a strange person she didn't know, especially if it was a male.

"Up you get," the deep voice said, and a person was gently lifting her up bridal style. All she could do was lay limp in his muscular arms, his face blurry, as she was carried and placed softly on the bed. She couldn't really protest, in fact she could barely keep her eyes open. But she still wanted to know who her rescuer was. She wanted to know if she should be thankful or fearful.

She forced her blurry vision to focus on the person before her. Blonde, spiky hair, green eyes, pale skin. Long golden tail. He reminded him of herself, as if it was a male version of herself. Suddenly it dawned on her, and she lost the battle to keep conscious when she fainted of shock.

Kakarot smiled and shook his head slowly in amazement. It had hardly been a day and the strange person had recovered enough to stand and even try to walk. Not that she'd been successful but her determination was admirable. Despite himself, Kakarot had grown to like this person. He liked how she looked; wild and foreign, beautiful yet familiar in some distant way. He especially liked her eyes. Despite how clouded they were with confusion, exhaustion, and painkiller drugs, they were a beautiful hue of gold and they were rimmed with red around her eyelids. In a word, this stranger was fascinating. He wanted to know more about her, he wanted to hear her voice, he wanted her to recover so he could glimpse the lithe grace her curvy figure would bring, see her curvy hips sway with each step she took as her tail bounced behind her. He just wanted to know and see everything about her.

Like a blast through the head, he remembered Vegeta's warning. Don't get too attached. He could help her recover but he shouldn't get too close. Vegeta was right, much as he didn't want to admit it. He wanted to get know her but he shouldn't.

He sat on the medical cot thoughtfully, resting his elbows on his knees. He only had a few months before he would be mated to Broly on his- their 23rd birthday. Only a few more months of relative freedom. He was not looking forward to that day, where he would pretty much be thrown into Broly's possession like a toy.

He heard a knock at the door and looked up to see his brother Raditz step in, glancing around before his eyes fell on the pair in the bed.

"I heard what happened," he said, nodding to the once again unconscious form lying on the bed. "Why did you want to help her? You don't even know her and you could even get killed for having a saiyan woman in here."

Kakarot shrugged, "It seemed like the right thing to do, even if it was a female saiyan."

Raditz grinned, his long dark hair rippling as he tilted his head, scrutinizing the unconscious person, "She's a looker, I'll give her that. The last saiyan woman and quite stunning."

A growl rumbled in Kakarot's throat, and he blinked, startled. He wasn't sure why he'd made that almost possessive sound. He wasn't...possessive of this stranger, was he? He couldn't be jealous of Raditz, that was ridiculous.

But that didn't change the fact that when Raditz commented on the stranger's appearance, Kakarot's first thought had been; You won't touch her, she's mine!
