Broken Barrier
He died without fear... what does
that make of me?
Broken Barrier
By: spbulma
Damn you, Kakarotto... damn you!
Vegeta stared at the horizon. What would
he do now? He was gone... all that he had been waiting for had
vanished in... nothing. Kakarot had surpased him any area known
to date. It was enough to make a person feel as useless as hell.
You... you broke the barrier,
Kakarot.
Yeah, probably ever since we met. You
lived to protect others. You had a cause, and I hated you for it.
You defeated me then, you defeated me now. And I'll never have a
chance to prove myself against you! But... what do I have to
prove? After giving up your life to save others...
Vegeta frowned. So many things... so many
thoughts...
He remembered how he would always take
things so lightly. How a man with extraordinary powers and
strength had intense fear of needles. He remembered their first
battle, and how Goku told him having a family was all he needed. How
very true. Now, that he's gone... now, when there's no one to
laugh heartfully and give the scum of the Earth another chance to
rearrange his life, NOW, is when he sinks in the truth.
There's one thing, though. Why do I
feel this... this... trust in him?! This was confusing. He
couldn't help but feel this intense admiration for him. But
why?! I hate him!
Or did he?
Tell me, Kakarot... that expression
you had in your face... what was it you wanted to tell me?
No one's ever made me feel agony like
that. That made me even hate you more!
But that light that shone in your
eyes... it gave me the chills. I'd never seen that look on anyone
before. You weren't afraid of anything. Unstoppable. You knew
where you were going, weren't you? In fact... I could've sworn...
It felt like you even... came from
there?
A long pause from his thoughts took over
Vegeta. He looked at the sky.
You knew, didn't you? That's why you
let me go the first time we fought. That's why you smiled
everytime I threatened to blow up something. That's why...
For the first time, Vegeta smiled. A
strange sense of powerlessness came over him. He knew that even
though he wanted him to be here, he couldn't. He had to go, and
keep on fighting, not just for the thrill of doing it, but... for
Kakarotto's cause...
Something he would have never done if he
hadn't "met" this low class saiyan.
I was wrong. You broke the barrier.
Thank You.
