Summary: So basically Goku doesn't forget who he is, so he is Kakarot and he knows of his Saiyan ancestry. He is just a gentle Saiyan, much like his late father, Bardock. He doesn't hit his head, so hopefully he has a little more knowledge than normal Goku. He knows how Saiyans fight and it's in their blood. That means he can reasonably argue against Chichi about Gohan! Also, he knows not to look at the moon so Grandpa Gohan'll just die of old age eventually (is that even possible in dragon ball?!) He knows about Frieza, and how he has enslaved his entire race. He also knows what a Namekian is, and shows his prince proper respect… eh probably not... Everything is basically the same until we enter Z. Here is where our story begins…

Chapter one: The Unforgotten Origin

It was a sunny day up on Mount Paozu. Today happened to be the 28th of May. A certain half-human, half-saiyan, was born. Meanwhile inside the Son residence, a husband was arguing with his mate, Chichi, on what should become of their child. The Son matron wants 'her baby' to grow up to be a scholar. On the other hand, a Saiyan warrior wants his son to follow in his footsteps and become the warrior he was meant to be.

"NO! Kakarot, our boy isn't going to be fighting! He is going to grow up, get a diploma and then he'll get a girlfriend and we'll have GRANDBABIES!" Chichi yelled at her husband.

"Chi! You gotta listen! Fighting is in his blood, his tail is a sign of that! He has Saiyan blood coursing through his veins, Chi. He is meant to be a great Saiyan warrior!" Kakarot argued back. "And besides, one day we'll need him so we can overthrow Freeza!"

Kakarot has told the others stories of his race, like the legend of the super saiyan and how a tyrant named Freeza. Freeza feared them as a race and knew that one day they might end up overthrowing his dynasty from power. He enslaved them and made them work for him and purge planets. He told them of some Saiyan tradition, some of which every Saiyan child was born with knowledge of.

"If you wanted this Freeza guy overthrown you would do it yourself! We do not need our baby boy fighting!"

"DO YOU THINK I WOULD'VE OVERTHROWN HIM BY NOW IF I HAD ANYWHERE NEAR THE POWER HE DOES! I HAVE A POWER OF WHAT, 400? LAST TIME I CHECKED HIS WAS 530,000!" Kakarot shouted back, enraged by his mate's answer.

Chichi backed off after the sudden outburst made by her husband.

"I-I'm sorry… Kakarot… I just don't want our baby boy to get hurt… and I want him to have knowledge of this world… instead of train… I'm sorry…" Chichi replied, on the verge of tears.

"It's ok, Chi. I'm sorry too, I didn't need to snap at you like that. I just don't see the point to a Saiyan who doesn't fight. As for the part of not understanding how the world works, Chi, don't worry. A Saiyan is born with a great amount of knowledge so they can be intellectual fighters. I haven't got one bit of an education, and I turned out fine. Plus we need him to fight Freeza. Freeza doesn't really like our race to begin with, who knows when he'll do something rash. (A/N: Goku doesn't know about his race's destruction until Raditz arrives.)

"... Ok, Kakarot. You can train him. Just make sure he doesn't die during a training session, I know how Saiyans are." Chichi joked.

"Yeah! Haha. Anyway, we should name him. How about Gohan? I'll ask Gramps about that later."

"Kakarot, that name's perfect!"

"Anyway, I've been thinking about this, but when he knows how to kick Krillin's ass how's about we take him to meet our friends? I'd love to see the looks on their faces when an adult who has always made it to the finals in a tournament gets his ass kicked by a toddler! That'll be priceless!"

"Kakarot, we don't want our boy learning curse words this early." Chichi said in a threateningly calm voice.

"Eh, don't worry about it. All Saiyans are born knowing those kinds of words. It's just how we are."

Did ya like it? This is just an idea that popped into my head a while back. And plus i've always wondered what a saiyan, not iq in the negatives goku would be like. Just a random idea. Review if you want more or have ideas! As for my other story, Protectors of Peace, i'll probably not work on it for like a week. School is to blame. Also everyone being sick. Huh. anyway, hope you enjoy! SAYOUNARA!
