Sound the Bugle
It's me again Neko. Well my muse Itachi went on a short vacation because I was stressing him out on ideas. So I got *opens and goes through door* Trunks to do the disclaimer for us! Trunks: Akira Toriyama owns Dragon Ball Z. Neko Hoshi is only doing this fanfiction for her and the readers enjoyment. Neko: Enjoy! *disappears*
The year went by fast after the last battle with Cell. That same year seemed so different to the Saiyan Prince. Maybe because it was the face that Kakarot was gone from the world; sacrificing himself to protect his family and friends. He still wasn't sure why he would do that for the man that tried to kill everyone on Earth anyway.
That night – on the anniversary of his friend and rival's sacrifice – the stars and full moon seemed brighter then normal. It was almost like Kakarot was them instead of planets.
"Vegeta, food's done." Bulma called as she ushered everyone else to the long table.
Turning around, he nodded. Taking one last glance to the night sky, he wanted to smile. 'Kakarot, where are you right now? Your woman's pregnant, probably no surprise there.'
Walking over, music played from a nearby window. Goku's favorite music that he enjoyed when he was home. Some of his favorite food was on the table.
"Goku, hope your doing well." Chichi said, praying before taking a bite of teriyaki chicken with rice.
Everyone copied. Vegeta's reaction was only a little different then the rest. He wasn't sure why he was worried about the Saiyan but he was.
"So how's the baby?" Bulma's question caught the Prince off guard, causing him to jump inwardly.
"He's fine." Chichi answered with a smile as she glanced down at her unborn son. Their unborn son she should say.
"Another boy? Don't you want a girl?" He asked, taking one last bite from his fifth bowl of rice with the flavored chicken. He surprised people for asking but hell he was used to surprising people.
"Another boy! Gohan, your gonna be getting a baby brother!" Bulma exclaimed, a smile taking her face. She reached over and hugged the smaller half saiyan as she looked over at Vegeta for some unknown reason.
After dinner, Krillin insisted he do some Kareoke. Everyone flat out said no.
Walking away from the group, Vegeta wanted to be alone like he normally did. He wanted to hear his thoughts instead of getting grumpier. Sitting down by the river, taking his shoes and socks off, he settled with his feet in the river. Looking up at the sky again, he sighed.
"Kakarot, why did you do this? Everyone misses you, even your family." Vegeta stated, looking away from the night sky to the murky water.
"I had to. He would have killed everyone if I didn't. I want you and Bulma to look out for them. Please do it for me Vegeta. I don't normally ask favors from you but do this one for me." He said, putting hand down on the shorter Saiyan's shoulder.
Looking back, he didn't see anyone but the distant partygoers.
"Kakarot, you own me," He muttered, "my friend."
And its done. I think this turned out the way I wanted it to. Vegeta's slightly OOC I think but I never can see him in any other mood besides pouty and his usual mood. Please review. Goku: *holds up chocolate chip cookies while looking at them to steal* Neko: For my reviewers and readers. I'll make you some later Goku. Goku: *chibi jump*
