He'd been living in that water fall cave for three days and it was getting to a point where he absolutely loathed the scent of the fish that were in spawning. Red eyes flicked to the cave mouth where the Namek who'd taken the young legendary under his wing set down some food.
A grateful smile came before he sat up looking to Piccolo speaking softly."I know you will not condone this.. I know you will hate me for what I purpose. I will say this though IF I where to mate with Vegeta it would be worse. He would no doubt use me as a catalyst to reproduce the Saiyan race. I do not want this, I wish to live in peace with the humans. They are weak Fragile creatures."
"You want to do something foolish and want me to look the other way?"
".. In a way yes, but hear me out before you say it is foolish."
Piccolo sat his arms folded before waving one hand."Alright I'll listen.."
"I want to return Kakarot's saiyan instincts to him. The only way to do this is through the Dragon balls.."
"I see you have put thought in the safest way to do this then?"
"I do have it though saiyans might be warriors who love battle, however we do not go looking for it. If a planet is peaceful I have every inclination to believe he would be as well."
Piccolo got a thoughtful look on his face as Castiel watched before the Namek spoke."I will condone this on one condition."
Castiel looked relieved before speaking" Name the condition before I agree.."
Piccolo smirked as he spoke" I want to train the first born cub.."
Castiel snorted speaking"Of course I know your style can be ajusted to a Saiyan child you did teach the Demi.."
"...I will go talk to Bulma..She'll have a device you can use to find them." Piccolo stood as Castiel spoke."I won't need it I still have my scouter and if I need I can ask my mother for help.."
"Your mother?" Piccolo raised one brow before folding his arms"So you are a Demi then?"
"..I am which is why perhaps the jump to the legendary form is so taxing for me.."
Castiel was silent watching Piccolo go before opening the communicator up speaking."Mother are you there?" the familiar face of the red head popped up as Vex spoke" In the flesh baby what's wrong?"
The cutesy name was not missed though Castiel knew it meant his mother cared. His brow lifting as he spoke" I need help locating seven items scattered over the globe."
Vex tipped his head speaking" Hmm this wouldn't happen to be the legendary Dragon Balls would it?"
Castiel nodded speaking" Yes mother it would be one in the same."
"I see, well your in luck then sweetie cause I just happen to have a custom made special radar just for you." Vex waved one finger before Castiel could speak."I'll bring it over I've heard the situation and I must say I'm shocked at his highness. All saiyans according to Raditz know you do not get between true mates.. I don't care who you are. For the prince to go this far he must be desperate.."
Castiel nodded a little disturbed his mother had been following him even from the pseudo dimension he had crafted using his technology it still disturbed him a little.
It was a few seconds later and Vex stood in the cave wrinkling his nose speaking"Sweetie if you needed a house I could have made you one.."
Castiel flushed turning to the side"I didn't want to be a burden.."
Vex blinked then wrapped his arms around Castiel who blinked eyes widening."Oh honey you are never a burden! Your my little miracle of science!" Castiel sighed rolling his eyes before speaking"I just..don't want things handed to me..."
Vex snorted before speaking"Oh sweetie I wouldn't just hand it over to you..I'd be handing it to your mate as well...So have you made any moves on the hunky Kaka?"
Poor Castiel's face went bright red as he spoke."MOTHER! It's not like that!"
"Of course it's not he still has his head up his ass I see..." Vex sighed stroking Castiel's hair speaking."My poor sweet baby being stuck in this cave while Ebil Kakay goes home to his nice warm little house on the mountain..." Castiel looked flustered before speaking"Mother please don't make a scene!"
Vex pouted speaking" But Cassie I'm your mother I worry... Are you eating enough? Are you getting enough sleep? Are you exercising enough?!"
Castiel sighed speaking" Yes mother to all of them Piccolo helps me with my exercise and he brings me food if I can not leave due to the prince.."
Vex sighed stroking his hair"I wish you'd be a little less proud..Taking a little help is not being weak.."
Castiel folded his arms in his mother's hug speaking"Would you do it?!"
"Absolutely not why I got where I was by working hard! No sir no charity or hand out..." Vex trailed off before sighing softly."Honey..."
"No mother... I want to be strong for Kakarot..When he comes I want him to see someone worthy of him.."
"And worthy of this?" Vex released his son to gesture at the cave."I am sure Kakay will love sleeping on hard stone floors and among furs..."
Castiel bit his lip before sighing"Fine...You can give it to me for that human thing called a birthday...You always make a big deal out of it..."
Vex smiled clapping his hands in a giddy fashion"Agreed now... This radar was special made to withstand your Legendary form's power if you had to take it."
Castiel blinked looking surprised speaking"How did you?"
"Tut that's for me to know and you to simply enjoy and use... It's very special and I want you to promise me to take good care of it."
Castiel nodded before his mother held out a small glowing green gem putting it to his son's wrist the gem attached it's self gleaming brightly."There it'll absorb a small amount of Ki to charge which should take around a day or so then after that your good to go..Also due to the nature of this gem just like your others you can't have someone stealing it. Only you can remove it and only you can use it."
Castiel spoke quietly"Mother is it possible to make something to shape my Ki?"
Vex's eyes gleamed before he smiled mischievously"Now who said I hadn't thought of that already?"
Castiel looked hopefully at his mother before the slim red head smirked pushing his hair back"Come on honey who's the greatest mother in the universe..."
Castiel knew this for all this posturing his mother would deny him nothing helpful so with a smile he spoke tilting his head."I don't know mother... Who is?"
Vex pouted before speaking"Why me of course! Look at your wrist and tell me another mother could give their child the same."
Castiel forgot his worries for a moment and laughed with his mother speaking"You mother you are the greatest in the universe."
Vex smiled before attaching another gem to his son's wrist before speaking"This will let your Ki take the form of blades if you need it you have to press it, but be careful in your legendary form they'll be twice as strong so you've been warned dear and if you ever think about rampaging I can also use these gems to block your Ki for your safety.."
Castiel was stunned it was like a safe guard in a way just in case and from the look of his mothers face he did not like admitting it to his own child. Castiel didn't know if he should be angry or grateful his mother put that much thought and research into him.
"..Thank you mother.."
"...I want to see you happy honey that reminds me I'm going to stock that house with things for you to enjoy..A music room..With those fingers you could be great at the piano or maybe the guitar.." Castiel sighed as his mother waved walking through the door with one last statement."...Honey be careful what you wish for.." Castiel nodded knowing as cryptic as the statement was it was a warning and by nodding he showed he understood his mothers request for discretion and safety from his child.
How long had he been on Earth? What was another night sleeping here if it meant he could be happy? Castiel was quiet thinking before he sat up had it been a month? No it couldn't have been not yet not when he was so close to this. His eyes widened as he stood checking the wall. Two days till his heat and two days before Vegeta would play his hand. Castiel's eyes widened before he slid down the wall his hands enfolding his face. A look of determination coming as he spoke" I must rely on my instinct..Which means I need to spread my scent now in as many places as I can to throw him off..."
Soon Castiel was flying through the air setting up his little zones in all his places. He'd make sure to throw the prince off as much as he could. This also served another purpose as well, once his radar was functioning he could use his gems to teleport to the balls cutting down his time as well. Castiel thought about it before flying as far as he could either which way scattering his scent out here and there letting it mingle in the wind to disorientate the one who'd more then likely be chasing him in a day or two.
Quickly his network was set up and he went home passing over Kakarot's little mountain home stopping to look for a moment at it. Kakarot still had his treasure was it safe? Was the other male being gentle with it?
Castiel could not resist taking a small peek and what he saw shocked him. The earth bound Saiyan sat holding the mysterious little music box his father had given him listening to it. Kakarot had figured out how to do it? This amused the young legendary before those onyx eyes looked up meeting his own. Castiel's heartbeat sped up as the earth bound saiyan opened the window leaning out it."Cassie? What are you doing out there?" Castiel thought for a moment then sighed assuming a sitting pose in midair speaking" I was passing over and I saw the light on.. Kakarot does something trouble you?" Castiel did not regret asking the question it was his own nature that screamed at him to comfort this male.
Goku or Kakarot as Castiel and Vegeta both called him looked at the younger for a moment before speaking." I'm.. torn in a way..." Castiel could swear the other could hear his heart beat as he listened with baited breath before speaking"Kaka.. Why are you torn?" Could it be? Had Kakarot dreamt of him?
"I've been having strange dreams the only time I sleep well is when this is playing for some reason.. When Chi chi shuts it off before she goes to bed I wake up...I have the dream after that.."
"...Kakarot are you happy with her?"
Kakarot raised one brow scratching the back of his head speaking"Well..." The question never got answered because the woman in question came into the room seeing Castiel she screeched hurting the young legendary's ears throwing a frying pan at him. Where she'd gotten it he'd never know he didn't even know women could throw them like that but as it whizzed past his head he caught it. "...If your a lady you should act like it.. I haven't offered any harm to you woman..I was talking with my friend is all.." With that he held the frying pan out to Kakarot who took it looking apologetic."Sorry...Cassie.." Their fingers brushed as he gave the pan back Castiel had all he could do to keep from flushing but then it happened." Oh my god...Your in love with my husband.." Castiel stared at the woman his eyes widening his cheeks going bright red from shame before he winked out of existence. Castiel never knew of the fight the two had over Chi chi's bad manners that night or that Kakarot wasn't as Dense as he let others think.
Castiel had to hurry he HAD to find them.
He didn't have a choice in the matter the prince was hot on his heels intent on getting his mate. Castiel was intent on getting his true mate.
Neither of them were ready for what was about to happen though. It would be the day the earth stood still. Kakarot had been having the dreams for a while and had no clue what to think of them. He felt it was important and being a simple man he did not fight his head when it let him in on something like this. He also had the feeling Saiyans were not like humans on all levels. From the way Vegeta was pursuing Castiel something was wrong. He was being kept from the truth that his mind was so desperately trying to tell him. The child in his dreams the little house tucked away by the waterfall. It had to be something having to do with Castiel.
When he felt Vegeta start to go after the young legendary he wasn't sure what he should do before another screaming fit from Chi Chi made something in him snap. His hair bristled for the first time since he was a child his eyes narrowing as he turned his head looking to her standing to his full height."WOMAN! SHUT UP!" Kakarot panted he was beyond furious his spiked hair standing up in such a way."I've had it! I've been loyal to you since our child was born! I let you lead me around by the nose curtail me and run me ragged when I'm home...No more!" Kakarot slammed the door to their bed room a bag over his shoulder taking to the air. Castiel's music box hung around his neck within his Gi as he flew. He could track by power as well as his other senses. The instant transmission worked wonders for him though the site he came on made his blood boil. Poor Castiel was seconds away from being bit by Vegeta before the two of them heard the growl.
Kakarot's hair brightened his eyes going to bright green his bag tossed to the side as he spoke."...Get off him Vegeta..."
"Stand down third class...He's mine I hunted and found him.." Vegeta's words were cold as he spoke his hair bristled as well his tail snapping side to side in quick movements. Castiel took the moment of distraction to teleport away from Vegeta after pushing the other away from himself. The prince had not counted on this. His mouth curving down as he spoke"After I beat you down finally I'll have my prize and the saiyan race will flourish.."
"Over my dead and rotting body.." The little red head stepped out followed by Raditz who looked disappointed with Vegeta but said nothing. "I'll not have you using MY child as some kind of twisted breeding stock Vegeta.. Your mother would be ashamed of you so would your father! Shame on you!"
At mention of his father Vegeta growled then snapped annoyedly."Stay out of this human! He's a Saiyan it doesn't have anything to do with you!"
"Oh but it does Vegeta..See he's mine by blood so it does.."
Vegeta looked floored for a moment before speaking"How is this possible?! Your a human male."
Vex folded his arms before smirking"What's the matter Vegeta you don't know about mutants? You really think that I'm from this simplistic little time period? No I'm not... I came here when you were still in diapers little boy.." Vex's face went ice cold as he stalked forwards to stand in front of his child."Now you two boys are going to have a little fight.. I know how the Saiyan thing goes Vegeta.. Kakarot's brother told me how it worked in case you pulled something like this. No sneaky tricks no back stabbing and no mind games... IF I see any of it so help me I will take my son and I will choose his mate since you want to squabble like a child over a toy over him.."
Castiel had never seen his mother this angry and to tell the truth part of him was afraid. When Raditz reached out one hand resting it on his shoulder he jumped his tail puffing out till he noticed it was just him. A shaky breath came before Raditz guided him to the side sitting him down speaking in a soothing manner."did he hurt you?"
Castiel shook his head speaking softly"No, no I'm fine just startled.."
Raditz smirked speaking"Never seen your mommy this pissed have you?"
"No and if this is what he looks like angry I can see why your so sensitive around him.."
Raditz chuckled brushing his fingers over Castiel's hair in a soothing manner."Hush up cub your mothers about to work his magic.."
"Alright boys I want a good clean fight tournament style rules.. I'm gonna draw a circle using a light..Get thrown out or knocked out your declared the loser... Anything goes try not to blow a hole in the planet though..And Vegeta you pull any Ki ring bull shit and I will personally make sure you never use it again am I clear?" Vex turned looking from each one as a fifty foot circle appeared around the two Saiyans."...I mean it...I will do it..If it means protecting my baby you have no clue how ruthless I can be.." Those green eyes narrowed on that red head's face before he stepped out of the circle raising one hand."...Begin!"
For a moment neither moved Kakarot glowing golden before Vegeta made the jump as well to super saiyan. Vex stood off to the side with his monitors watching the two as his Camera's spun around keeping track of the fighting saiyans before Vegeta broke then threw the first punch. It was like watching something brutal. Despite Raditz's attempts to calm him Castiel was anxious this fight would either break him or make him. Then it happened Vegeta knocked Kakarot into the air catching the taller Saiyan on the chest a sickening crack was heard as he plummeted to earth. He was inside the ring luckily but as Kakarot danced around trying to fish something out Vegeta smirked floating in midair to watch the clown. Castiel's eyes widened as Kakarot fished out his music box a look of horror on the earth saiyan's face before he spoke in a cold tone"You did that on purpose.."
"Did I clown? Did your mother give you that when you where little? Maybe Bulma did?!" The mocking tone the laughter that came. Vegeta was not prepared for the whirl wind of blows that came at him. Kakarot was no longer fighting clean as he normally did. Vex was about to call him on one move when Raditz spoke softly"Don't... Just let it go honey...He's breaking through something.."
The years of emotional torment at Chi chi's hands the screaming the hours spent doing what she wanted with their child. Gohan might be ruined when it came to being a total fighter but something told him with Cassie it would be perfectly fine to train their child. Kakarot put aside his differences in instinct as he hammered Vegeta out of the ring the proud prince laying in the dirt outside it.
Vex threw one hand up"Winner Son of Bardock Kakarot!"
Vegeta looked positively furious but he could not go against the statement Vex made. One look at the red head's eyes and he knew just like a saiyan female that little red head would fight him with everything he had. Though even Vegeta had his stupid moments. When Vex walked into the ring to congratulate and take the music box from Kakarot Vegeta struck. With Mommy out of the way he could try again while Kakarot's guard was down. Vegeta smirked as his hand sunk into the flesh of Vex's chest the red head stiffening before his head turned. Vegeta had never had any creature do what this ferocious little creature did. Vex walked forwards calmly turning to regard the prince then a resounding slap echoed through the area as he spoke."You spoiled arrogant self centered brat! How dare you! " for a moment Vegeta just stared at the red head not understanding why he wasn't dying before he saw the wound seal it's self over with new skin and flesh. His head tilting as he spoke"What are you..."
Vex smiled coldly before he leaned speaking very quietly in such a voice it made the hair on the back of Vegeta's neck rise."..I am that child's mother..I saved him I took care of him keeping a careful eye on him..I tended his wounds when he was hurt and I helped him escape the royals of YOUR family...You ever lift a finger to another innocent human again I will crush you Vegeta..I will crush you like an egg under my boot.." That soft quiet cold voice made Vegeta cringe as he noticed out of the corner of his eye Raditz cringing as well. Evidently he now figured out who wore the pants in that house hold. Vex walked over to Kakarot once more before taking the music box speaking softly"Kakarot you ever hurt my little boy and I'll flay the skin off your tail slowly...Painfully..." Kakarot raised one brow before speaking"My tail? How I don't have one any more.." Raditz smirked taking Vex's arm"Oh you will little brother you will.." Vex smirked speaking quietly"Cassie I have your house set up by the waterfall I want both of you to go home and for Kami's sakes get some rest before you fool around..."
As Raditz and Vex walked through the door to Vex's lab Raditz spoke"You know their not going to wait.." Vex chuckled softly speaking"After that I can't say as I blame them.."
