A/N: This is my 3rd posting on the site and my first DBZ story. Like with my other two, this is Slash (male x male) so if you don't like that type of thing, don't read this. Disclaimer: I do NOT own Dragonball Z, and I have no money, so there will be no point in sueing me.
This story is a AU, mostly set on Vegeta-sei. Trunks ran off in the time machine when he was little (the reason will be made clear later on) and ended up in another timeline, in the past where Vegeta-sei is still around, and his future mother is a slave to his young father. He changes his name to Mirai, as well as changing how he looks, thinking he's well hidden from anything in the future that might try to come find him. Then the worst happens. The very thing he was running from, finds him. Let's just hope Gohan doesn't realize who he is.
Pairings: Past Vegeta/Past Goku; Future Gohan/ Future(Aged) Trunks; Future Goten/Past Trunks; Past King Vegeta/Past Bardock, and too many others to name, but those are the main ones.
King Vegeta stroked his beard as he watched his mate walk into the throne room and take a seat next to him. Being King he had to take a woman first, to make sure at least one child was born, even though every male was able to give birth.
Like all weak women, his wife had died giving him what everyone wanted, and heir to Vegeta-sei's throne. Now his male mate was going to give birth soon. The King sighed deeply stealing a glance at the younger man.
He had mated with the most powerful warrior on the planet, a 3rd class no doubt. The man already had two children of his own and now was going to give birth to his first, for the King. One child was rude and horrible to be around, but the King put up with him because he was his mate's child. The other one had not been seen since he was 2, sent off to grow up on another planet and come home strong enough to take a mate, or be taken as someone's.
"Is something wrong? You're giving me that look again!"
"Sorry," the King mumbled, not really sorry at all.
"Have you talked to Vegeta yet?"
"No."
"I'm not going to do it. You're his blood father, it's your job to tell him he needs to start looking for a mate. Besides, I'm too weak to fight it out with that Brat of yours in the condition I'm in."
"I guess it will just have to wait until after you've had our child then."
"That's not funny Vegeta!" Bardock yelled, glaring at him.
The King started laughing and reached over the distance between the two chairs and put his hand over his mate's. "I'm sorry Bardock. I'm just joking you know that!"
The round stomached man sighed and took the King's hand. "It's Raditz, he's trying to impress your son again, and he's been bothering me, trying to get me to give him ideas on how to do it."
"I wish he would, then he wouldn't have to look for a mate."
"Do you really want your son and mine to-"
"No, their children would be horrible, and the fights between the two of them would be even worse. No offence but, Raditz isn't as strong as I thought he would be by now."
"He's too busy trying to be impressive, to get strong."
"If he would spend his time getting strong, he'd be more impressive," the King said smirking at his pregnant mate.
The door opened at the end of the hall and a younger version of the king walked down toward the sitting two. "Hello Father, Bardock." The prince bowed and then stood as tall as he could, which still wasn't very tall. He'd gotten that from his mother's side.
"I'm just coming to inform you that I'm going to start looking for a suitable mate today. I'm starting with the slave ship that's coming in."
"There aren't going to be many saiyans on that one you know that right?" Bardock said quietly.
"Of course. I'd thought I'd try for something a little different, seeing as I'm bothered all the time by saiyans." The prince shot a dark glance back the way he'd just come from.
"Raditz?" The King asked smiling.
The prince glared at his father before lowering his eyes. "Whatever gave you the idea that Raditz would be bothering me?!" he hissed under his breath.
The King laughed and waved the hand that he wasn't holding Bardock's with, at his son in a dismissive manner. "Just don't rush yourself. You don't want to get stuck with someone you don't really like just so he'll leave you alone."
"Thanks for the advice. Good Bye Father, Bardock." He said bowing again before turning and walking slowly back toward the door again.
