Chapter 2. Transitum.
The following days were very hard for Gohan. The boy spent a lot of time in bed as he got sicker and sicker. Katy did everything she could to help him but she was driven away by the other Saiyans once in a while. She needed her sleep if she wanted to help Gohan get through this.
On the third day Vegeta and Turles were sitting on the gray couch in the general room. "I think we have to visit the planet Pronopian." Vegeta suggested as he looked at the holographic map that was floating in front of him. Turles tapped his finger against the small red planet and nodded.
"The planet isn't invaded yet, is it?" He asked as Vegeta pressed a button the table and the hologram disappeared. The lights came on automatically.
"Not yet. I had my eyes on that planet. It could have made us a great profit." Vegeta complained as he pressed another button and the lights turned off again. A hologram of the milky way appeared in front of them. Turles watched as the blue light from the hologram colored Vegeta's white armor.
"This is it." Vegeta said as his finger touched the small blue planet. "It's mostly water. I don't get why he wants to go there."
"Is it purged?"
"No. Freeza's empire hasn't touched the Milky Way yet. I don't know why." Vegeta answered as he watched the tiny moon whirl around the blue planet. "It has a moon."
"I wonder if the boy ever transformed. "Turles thought out loud.
"The planet would have been gone if that was the case." Vegeta sneered as he glanced sideways. The two Saiyans looked up and sniffed the air. They both groaned.
"He cannot stay in bed when we tell him to." Vegeta complained as he sat up and turned to the doorway. "We have to do something about that."
Turles frowned as Gohan walked in the room. The boy leaned against the doorpost and sighed. "Where is everyone?" He asked before he wiped some sweat off his forehead.
"What are you doing here?" Vegeta snarled at him. "You're supposed to stay in bed."
"Where's Katy?" Gohan answered, ignoring Vegeta's comment, as he walked closer. Gohan's tail lashed behind him, sending out the scent of a hormonal teenager in heat, as the boy made his way to the adults. Vegeta held his breath while Turles pinched in his own nose.
"She's asleep in my room." Vegeta answered. "She needs to rest once in a while."
"Why doesn't she rest in my room?" Gohan asked annoyed. "She's been sleeping in my room since we got here."
"Once you're ready, you can be a threat to her. She can't be asleep when you're close to her at the moment." Turles answered. "Now get back to your room. You smell."
Gohan pulled a face. "Is that the milky way?" Gohan asked as he stepped closer and pointed at the hologram. Vegeta pressed on a white button on the table and the hologram disappeared.
"Go back to your room." Vegeta ordered. "I don't want you near any of us while you're in this state."
"I don't want to go to my room. I'm bored. The water doesn't help at all. Isn't there any medicine for this?" Gohan whined.
Vegeta shook his head. "Nope. You have to ride it out." The man got up. "Now go back to your room before I kick you back there." Vegeta's tail flicked behind him threateningly.
Gohan put his hands up in the air. "Okay, okay. I'm leaving." He muttered as he turned around and walked out the room. Vegeta sighed as he sat down again. He waved in the air with his hand and growled.
"We need windows we can open. I need some fresh air." Vegeta complained as he placed a hand on his forehead.

A few hours later Raditz was sitting on a bed in Gohan's room. The half-Saiyan was lying in the bed next to it. He moaned silently and rolled over under his thin sheets. Even though Gohan felt very hot at the moment, he couldn't afford sleeping without the sheets because that would only worsen his condition. The man looked up from the Earth book when Gohan made another noise.
"Good evening." Raditz greeted when Gohan opened his eyes. "How are you feeling?"
The boy yawned and hid his face under the sheets. Raditz raised an eyebrow. The man pulled the sheets down and, ignoring Gohan's annoyed growl, placed his hand on Gohan's forehead. The man pulled back. "You're not healed yet." He mentioned as he looked at his hand.
"How long is this going to take?" Gohan asked.
"The normal cycle takes a week." Raditz answered as he grabbed a glass of water and held it out in front of the half-Saiyan. Gohan sat up and accepted the glass. He took a sip.
"Can you stay this close to me?" Gohan questioned curiously. Raditz gave him a confused glance. "Don't I smell?"
"Yes." Raditz answered. "You smell very good but I am able to withstand it because I'm your uncle." Raditz said as he grabbed the glass Gohan was handing him and filled it with more water.
"I smell good? I thought I smelled bad." Gohan said frowning.
Raditz shook his head. "You smell so good it's bad for your own sake." Raditz sneered as he gave the glass back. Gohan drank it with the intensity of someone who hadn't had anything to drink in days.
"What's happening to me?" Gohan asked as he lowered the glass.
"You're at the start of your transitum. It's a fancy word for the heat cycle Saiyans go through." Raditz explained. "This is your first time so it's very intense. Your body will make some changes. When you're done you'll understand all the Saiyan rules. It's the transition from boy to man."
"My tail hurts." Gohan complained. "Can you numb it again?"
Raditz snickered. "Last time we wanted to do that you wouldn't let us near your tail." He teased as he shifted on the bed. Gohan sent him a glare. "It won't work. Transitum breaks the numbness because it needs you to feel what's happening to your tail. We better wait until your time is over."
"Why do I smell good?" Gohan asked as he stared down at his glass.
Raditz stared up at the ceiling for a few minutes. A silence fell in the room and they listened to an argument between Turles and Vegeta who were walking in the hallway. Their voices slowly faded away and Raditz sighed. "As I told you before, heat is the stage between childhood and adulthood. Your body prepares itself for adulthood and sends out a scent to show others what's going on." Raditz hesitated for a moment, afraid he was going to give too much away, but decided to continue his story. "The scent is mainly used to show that you are ready for a mate. It's asking for someone to help you out and lead you through the last stage of the transitum."
"What is the last stage?" Gohan asked as he looked up.
Raditz cleared his throat. "Let's keep that as a surprise." He answered. Gohan frowned at him. "Get some rest." Raditz suggested. "You've had your water. I'll go get Kittycat."
"No wait." Gohan said as Raditz got up. "You can't just leave me without telling the other half of your explanation." He complained.
"Yes, I can. Watch me." Raditz answered as he opened the door and walked out the room.

Katy ran inside the general room. "Vegeta!" She yelled as she raced to his side. "There's something wrong with Gohan." She said as she shot a concerned glance at the doorway that lead to Gohan's room.
"What is it?" Vegeta asked as he looked up.
"I don't know." Katy started shaking Vegeta's shoulder. "There's something wrong. Go see him!" She said in a high panicking voice.
Vegeta pushed her away. "Stop that!" He growled before he got up. "Females." He snarled in her direction before he turned around and walked to Gohan's room. Katy flashed passed him as he made his way through the hallway. Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Teenagers." He muttered under his breath.
He found her leaning over the half-Saiyan. Vegeta widened his eyes when he caught sight of his younger comrade. The man ran out the room. "Nappa! Turles! Raditz! Come here!" He bellowed.
Vegeta grabbed Katy by the shoulder and pulled her back a few steps. "You'd better give him some space." Vegeta advised as three shadows appeared in the doorway. They all seemed rather annoyed by the way they were called over but their angry expressions disappeared when they noticed the teenage Saiyan.
"What's going on?" Katy asked as she watched her boyfriend.
"It's happening." Four voices said at the same time.
"What is happening?" Katy asked exasperated. She hated to be kept in the dark.
"The transition." Turles whispered as his eyes moved over his nephew.
Gohan's body was quivering and shaking. He let out small grunts as he writhed in his bed. His hands were clenching and unclenching. The boy's tail was uncoiling and recoiling instantly. Katy's eyes moved to Gohan's. They had a blood red color. The girl was alarmed when she noticed Gohan's eyes turning red and his pupils drowning in the color. The boy tossed his head back and opened his mouth in a silent scream. Katy placed a hand on her mouth when she noticed his canines were growing rapidly before shooting back in Gohan's palate.
"We have to stop this." Katy muttered before she dashed forwards to wake Gohan up.
"No!" Vegeta roughly grabbed her wrist and threw her on the ground. "Do not touch him." He hissed as his eyes narrowed at the female.
"I never saw a transitum." Turles muttered as he eyed the younger Saiyan.
"Of course not. You're the youngest." Raditz answered. "You were the last one who went through it."
"It looks more painful than it really is." Nappa commented as he eyed Gohan's shaking hands.
Katy wrapped her arms around her legs as she pulled them up against her chest. The four Saiyans watched in silence as Gohan's body tortured the mind inside it. "What's going on?" Katy whispered when Gohan groaned louder than before.
"There's nothing wrong." Vegeta answered as he tilted his head and watched Gohan's legs kick and strain as if he was fighting an invincible force. "This is normal. It's the third stage."
"How many stages are there?" Katy asked as she got up. Gohan whined and Katy flinched. She pouted when she remembered she wasn't allowed to touch him.
"Six." Turles answered shortly.
"What are the stages?" Four annoyed glares were sent her way. "Hey, you can't expect me to not have questions." She said as she placed her hands on her hips.
"The first stage is a very long one. It usually takes a year. It's the silent stage. During that a cub's scent slowly changes and its body prepares for the transitum." Vegeta explained without taking his eyes off Gohan. "The second stage is when the body sort of forgets everything and only concentrates on the preparations. That's when a Saiyan's immune system fails to protect the cub and he or she gets sick. That's what happened to half-breed a few days ago."
"The third stage is when the body transforms." Vegeta continued as he motioned to the half-Saiyan. "It takes thirty minutes." He continued. "The fourth stage is the transitum of the mind. That takes a few days. It will be like he's asleep. Then all the Saiyan rules will be saved in his mind. It's vital to know everything about your own race and how to interact with the other adults."
"The fifth stage is when the lucky cubs complete their first transitum." Turles continued when Vegeta motioned for someone to explain the rest. "The sixth stage is a small fall back he will have a few days after the completion."
"Why do only lucky Saiyans complete their transitum?" Katy asked curiously as she pushed a lost string of pink hair behind her ear.
"Let's just say they have certain," Vegeta paused as he thought about his choice of word, "precautions that others don't always have."
"Like what? Is Gohan one of them?" Katy asked as her eyes moved to the groaning half-Saiyan.
Vegeta's eyes travelled to Katy. They moved from her bright pink eyes, down to the rest of her body, and up again. "Half-breed is definitely one of the lucky ones." He said as a smirk appeared on his face.
Katy shrugged. "I guess that's a good thing." She muttered as she turned to the half-Saiyan again. They watched for the full thirty minutes. After what seemed like hours for Katy, but was really thirty minutes, Gohan slowly stopped his thrashing and lay like that for a few minutes. The red of his eyes was hidden behind his closed eyelids. Katy almost forgot how to breathe while holding in her breath.
Gohan gasped and opened his eyes again. They were now light blue and almost seemed to light up. The boy didn't move. "Is he breathing?" Katy whispered after she'd let out a breath.
"No. He died." Turles snarled as he crossed his arms. "I still don't get why he chose you."
Katy frowned at him as Vegeta turned to leave. Nappa and Raditz did the same thing. Turles looked at Katy. "Make sure you toss a glass of water over his face once every hour. He's in the mind transition right now. This can take a few days. Don't worry." He roughed up her hair, earning an annoyed growl from the female, and walked out the room too. Katy pulled the elastic out of her hair. Ever since they noticed she didn't like it when they touched her hair, they messed it up every time they got the chance. Katy decided to leave her hair down and grabbed a glass to fill it with water. Gohan's eyes were now closed. "Hour one." She said with a sigh as she let the water run down Gohan's face.

"Why isn't he doing anything?" Nappa asked as he avoided a punch from Raditz. The four Saiyans were sparring in the large training room. The red walls showed dents and cracks in the places where bodies had been slammed. Raditz pulled his leg up to kick Nappa but the older Saiyan anticipated this move and caught the leg. He whirled around and tossed Raditz through the air. The Saiyan used his energy to stop himself from crash landing on the ground. "He's been sick for five days now. His transition should be over. Why isn't he making a move?"
Vegeta caught a punch from Turles. He leaned back to avoid a second punch and used the fist he was holding to pull Turles closer. Vegeta kneed the third class Saiyan in the stomach and pushed him away. Turles growled in pain as his hands moved to his stomach. "He's probably afraid Kittycat doesn't want to do it." He suggested as Turles glared at him. The man gave a taunting smirk as he placed his fists on his hips.
Turles rubbed over his stomach. "I don't think so. His Saiyan side should take over when he reaches his peak. We've all experienced it. We know how it feels. He doesn't know what to do but instinct should take over."
Raditz landed on the ground. "Maybe he's trying to suppress his Saiyan side. He's half human. Maybe he's not Saiyan enough to handle it."
Vegeta shook his head as he landed near Raditz. "He got into heat. That means he can get out of it." Vegeta answered. "I don't know why he's holding back."
Nappa and Turles landed on the ground too. The four Saiyans stared at nothing for a few minutes as they thought about the half-Saiyan and his behavior. Nappa was the first one to look around and notice their position. "Look at us. We're worrying about some stupid brat. We are getting soft." He mentioned.
Vegeta chuckled. "You're right." He answered as he cracked his knuckles. "We need to concentrate on more important things." He said as he crossed sights with Turles. The younger uncle smirked back at him and nodded. They both got in a fighting stance.

Katy pulled her armor over her head and sighed. Gohan wasn't getting any better. It seemed like he got worse by the day. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to help him so badly but there was nothing she could do. The teen was thinking about asking the Saiyans if they knew something to help Gohan. She would do anything by now. Katy got up with determination and opened the door of Justin's room. Vegeta had decided that Katy could sleep in Justin's room while Gohan was going through his transitum. She couldn't sleep in the same room as Gohan. Katy didn't know why. He didn't want to tell her. Katy was just closing the door when she noticed two presences coming closer.
Turles and Raditz walked closer and both their eyes lit up when they noticed her. Just as Katy turned towards them Raditz grabbed her and spun her around. Katy gasped as both males grabbed her shoulders and started walking, forcing her to do the same. "Kittycat, we've been thinking." Raditz started as they marched her through the hallway. "Half-breed's condition hasn't improved, has it?" Katy shook her head.
"Have you noticed anything strange in his behavior?" Turles asked interested. "A shudder when you touch him or something like that." Katy's eyes showed acknowledgement and Turles continued. "As I thought. He really chose you."
"Chose me?" Katy repeated confused. She wondered how long the hallways were. They were bound to be forced to turn around soon.
Raditz nodded. "Yes, you see. Half-breed is in what we Saiyans call Heat. It happens to every Saiyan in his or her teenage years. I've had it. Turles, Vegeta and Nappa have been through it too."
Katy looked at him. "I knew that. You've already told me." She asked. Katy tilted her head. "But you all recovered from it, didn't you?" Another nod made her continue. "So, there is a cure for this!"
"There is one cure." Turles answered as his eyes moved to the ground. "As Vegeta already told you earlier. Half-breed's body is asking for intimacy." Turles looked back at Katy, who widened her eyes. "The problem is that his body sends out a certain seductive scent. That way he tells other Saiyans that he is in heat. Most available Saiyans can't resist the scent."
"The second problem is..." Raditz continued forcing Katy to look his way. ".. We are half-bonded. Our mates are dead so our mark still works but theirs is gone. So, we can smell the scent and we've already noticed that our bodies want to volunteer to help Half-breed get better."
"So you are all thinking about spending the night with Gohan so he can get better?" Two nods were shown. Katy looked down and hesitated. "But let's say you would go to his room and offer to do it… Would he comply?"
The two Saiyans thought about that. A small minute passed before Raditz answered: "Yes. He would probably fight it at first but if we would pin him down to his bed and start... He would probably join in within seconds. It's hard to fight your own body Kittycat, believe me." Raditz shuddered, thinking about his own transitum.
Katy nodded. "So, what do you want with me?" She asked even though she had a small clue of what they wanted her to do.
Turles looked forwards. "Are you ready to take it to the next level with Half-breed?" He asked as he looked back at Katy. The teen widened her eyes and was at a loss for words.
The two Saiyans watched her as she tried to find something decent to say. "I … I ... I err... I mean... I …" Katy smacked a hand against her head, earning two smirks, and said: "Yes." She nodded. "At least, if he wants to..." She continued but Turles stopped walking and grabbed both her shoulders, turning her towards him.
"He does... Believe me. He does." Turles said nodding fiercely. "And I'm not just saying that because I want to get rid of that scent. Half-breed has chosen you from the moment he saw you, even though he didn't know this would happen." He squeezed both her shoulders. "The problem is that he is hesitant with this stuff. He probably thinks you don't want to. You are the one who has to make the first move." Turles released her shoulders. Katy looked up at him and a small hint of confusion showed in her eyes. Raditz turned up next to Turles and extended his hand towards her. She looked down to find contraception in his hand. The female found herself accepting the small package. Turles tousled her hair as she looked at her hand. "Good luck."
That evening Katy was taking care of her boyfriend again. Her eyes slipped to the desk every once in a while. She left the protection in the drawer, just in case. She just didn't know how to start it or what to say. "You're really sick, Gohan." Katy said as she brushed his hair out his face. "It's getting worse with the day."
Gohan smiled a little smile when he felt her touch. "I'm fine." He breathed. He felt a big urge to grab Katy and pull her next to him. He just wanted to touch that soft skin and hold her in his arms. He was hesitant though. He didn't know if she would like it. He was so sick and all sweaty. Why would she agree with lying next to him? Gohan groaned as he felt her touch on his shoulder.
Katy pulled back immediately. "Did I hurt you?" She asked with wide eyes.
Gohan shook his head weakly. "No. It's just..." Gohan grabbed her hand and didn't let go.
Gohan pulled Katy closer to him and started kissing her. He couldn't control what happened next. His tail found his way around her waist and he dragged her into his bed. She complied with the kiss and curled her arms around him. They moved around for a while, trying each other out, discovering what they liked best. At one point Gohan caught Katy and pinned her underneath him. Gohan moved his kisses to her neck until he found a spot where he held still. Katy moaned and pressed her body against his. Gohan grabbed her uniform and started removing it. Katy started doing the same for him and they were caught in trying to get all the clothing away as quickly as possible. Gohan looked at his girlfriend as she was lying in her underwear underneath him.
The half-Saiyan, now clad in only his boxers, shook his head and looked away. "I can't do this." He groaned. His whole body screamed for it but he could fight it... Barely... Katy smiled and pulled him in a kiss. Gohan moaned in the kiss and his body started shaking in need. The sixteen year old whimpered and pulled away again. Katy reached up and opened the drawer. She grabbed the condom and showed it to her boyfriend. Gohan widened his eyes but shook his head again. "No, it's too soon, Katy. I don't want you to do anything you'll regret." Gohan whimpered as he lowered himself, nearly lying on top of her. He was leaning on his elbows.
Katy laughed. "Too soon? Really?" She asked with a small hint of amusement in her voice. "Gohan, I love you." Gohan looked up at her. "We met two years ago. You've been at my side every time I needed it. You were the only one who treated me as one of the guys. You didn't make me feel like THE girl while everyone around me did. You treated me as an equal." Katy pulled him in a kiss again. Gohan curled his fingers into her long hair. They pulled away. "You risked a lot just to see me every once in a while. You've been through so much pain but you kept coming back to me. You always tried to protect me. I have to do this one day and I can't think of a better person to give my innocence to." Katy bit her lip as Gohan groaned in pain.
"Please Gohan. Do this for me." She whispered before their lips connected again. Gohan tried to fight his urge, his need for her. Every part of his body was tensing in pain noticing she was this close. Katy's hands moved to her bra and she started removing it. That's when Gohan lost the fight. The teen closed his eyes as he felt his body take over and he lost himself in the heat.
**** DBZ **** DBZ ****
The next morning Katy opened her eyes and yawned. She looked up to find Gohan watching her as a smile graced his face. The girl smiled back and snuggled up to him. Gohan's arm curled around her shoulders. "Morning." The half-Saiyan said as he stroked her hair.
"Morning. "Katy answered softly. The female yawned and closed her eyes again. "Last night was…"
"Fantastic." Gohan completed the sentence. The half-Saiyan brushed Katy's hair from her shoulder and looked at the bite mark on her neck. His finger lingered over the wound and Katy tensed. "I'm sorry about that." Gohan muttered. "I don't even know why I did it. I just felt like it." Katy shrugged.
"Don't worry." Katy answered as she reached down and found his tail. She pulled it up and started playing with it. The tail lashed a bit as she petted it. "I've done it back to you." She looked up at the mark on Gohan's shoulder. "I don't know why either…" She continued thoughtfully.
Gohan grinned. "We fit together so well." He sneered amusedly. Katy giggled. Gohan stretched. "I feel so good. I think I'm cured." Gohan frowned a bit. "Wow... I wonder how that happened..." Gohan looked back at his mate. "Do you have healing powers you didn't tell me about or something?"
Katy shook her head and moved so she could look up at him. "No, Turles and Raditz told me that you could be cured by having sex." She said. Gohan raised an eyebrow. "They said you needed to spend the night with someone to be cured. And guess what: it worked." She exclaimed.
Gohan laughed. "Oh wow. That's great. I like medicine like that. That's so Saiyan like. I can't believe it. I'm not even that surprised..." Gohan frowned as a thought hit him. "Wait a second." He leaned on his elbows and narrowed his eyes at his girlfriend. Katy leaned on her arm and looked at her boyfriend. "Don't tell me you only went to bed with me because you felt guilty. Because you knew it could cure me and you didn't see any other way to help me."
Katy grinned. "You want the truth?" Gohan went to move away but Katy snickered and grabbed his arm. "Don't worry." She said as he looked back at her. "I did it because I wanted to. Trust me." Katy said with a small but determined nod. Gohan frowned a bit but decided to drop it. He lied down again, allowing Katy to use his chest as a pillow.
Later that morning Katy walked in the general room of the ship. She noticed the adult Saiyans and Justin on the couch and smiled. "Hi guys." She said as she walked closer. "Gohan's feeling a lot better now. I think he's recovering from his illness."
The four Saiyans exchanged glances. Vegeta smirked as he got up. "Oh really? You didn't get out of his room last night." He said as he stepped closer to the girl.
Katy stopped walking and raised an eyebrow. "Gohan was feeling better so I decided to stay." Katy answered hesitantly.
"Really?" Turles asked innocently as he followed Vegeta.
Katy frowned. "You told me what I had to do to help him get better." Katy snarled accusingly.
"And you jumped to the chance to help him, huh?" Vegeta teased as he stopped in front of her. Katy stepped back as Turles turned up next to Vegeta.
A blush appeared on her face. "That's not fair." She muttered. Vegeta reached out and grabbed the collar of her blue uniform. Katy pushed his hand away. "What are you doing?"
"I'm taking a look at you." Vegeta answered as he reached out again. At that point Gohan walked in the room. He felt a lot better and noticed his fever was gone so he decided to check up on the others.
"Gohan. Help me." Katy whimpered as she tried to push Vegeta's hand away again. Gohan frowned and appeared in front of Vegeta. He grabbed the man's hand and pushed it away.
"What's going on?" Gohan asked as he glared at the two adults in front of him. Nappa and Raditz got up too while Vegeta and Turles admired the job Gohan's transitum had done. The boy's face lost all the childish features. His body had grown slightly. The boy's tail had grown and the fur was thicker and shinier than before. The four Saiyans immediately noticed Gohan's power level was higher than ever too.
Vegeta smirked. "You recovered quickly, boy. What made you better?" He asked innocently.
A blush managed to appear on Gohan's face. "You know what happened, Vegeta." He snarled at the man. "Why are you closing Katy in?" He asked as he looked back at his mate.
Vegeta gave a calculating glance at Katy. "We can take a look at you too. Nappa and Raditz; you take the girl." He ordered as he glanced at Nappa and Raditz.
Gohan frowned. "What?" Before he could say anything else, Turles, Vegeta and Justin attacked him. They all got a hold of him and tried to immobilize him. Gohan looked back at Justin who pushed his arms behind him. "What do you think you're doing? You're supposed to be on my side."
Justin snickered. "Not this time, Bro. I'm having way too much fun."
Gohan glared at him. Vegeta tried to tug Gohan's collar down but the half-Saiyan pushed him away. The boy dived under Turles's hands and stumbled away. Gohan bit his lip as Vegeta, Turles and Justin turned back to him and all stepped closer. "Be a good boy, little one." Vegeta said as he extended his hands.
Gohan raised an eyebrow. "That nickname has got to go. I'm an adult now, remember?" Gohan sneered.
"No matter how old you get, you'll always be our little boy." Vegeta answered as he stepped closer.
"Oh, stop it. You're going to make me cry." Gohan answered sarcastically as he stepped back. He heard a growl from Katy and looked sideways. His attackers grabbed at the opportunity and jumped forwards. Gohan gasped as they got a hold of him again. "Damn it, Justin. You've been training." Gohan snarled as he noticed how hard it was to push Justin's hands away.
"No. You've been sick." Justin answered as his green eyes beamed up at him. Gohan growled and tried to push him away again. Gohan was caught off guard when Nappa yelled: "We've got it!"
Gohan looked sideways and frowned when he noticed Nappa was holding Katy's collar. The man was pulling it away from her shoulder and revealed a small mark where Gohan'd bitten her during their intimate moment last night. Vegeta took advantage of the distraction and pulled on Gohan's collar. "Kittycat's a real animal." He commented as he eyed the mark.
Gohan elbowed the man in his stomach. Vegeta growled and placed his hands on his stomach. The man narrowed his eyes at the half-Saiyan as Turles and Justin stepped back. "You hit me." Vegeta hissed.
Gohan frowned back at him. "You can't talk about Katy like that." Vegeta pulled back a hand and backhanded the boy against the cheek. Gohan's face was knocked sideways. The boy placed a hand on his red cheek and groaned.
"Damn. All that time in the dungeon but I definitely didn't miss those." Gohan muttered under his breath.
"Yes, I always seem to have a direct hit, huh?" Vegeta mused amusedly. Gohan narrowed his eyes at him. "Don't forget who is the boss here, boy. You cannot treat me like that." Vegeta snarled at the half-Saiyan. Gohan pulled a face. "Just because you're an adult now does not mean you don't have to listen to me anymore, got it?"
Gohan nodded. "I'm sorry." He muttered. After this he looked up and narrowed his eyes at Raditz and Nappa, who were still holding Katy, and they both released her as if her skin burned them. The two Saiyans gave innocent smiles.
Katy frowned at them and rubbed over her sore wrists. Gohan raised an eyebrow. "Are you done?" He asked annoyed.
Vegeta smirked and walked back to the gray couch. Gohan watched him go and rolled his eyes. "I'm going to take a shower. I've been lying in bed for more than a week." Gohan muttered as he turned around and walked to the doorway.
"Aren't you going to join him?" Turles asked Katy as he sent her an innocent glance. Katy glared back at him as an answer. Turles shrugged. "Just a suggestion."
A few minutes later Gohan walked out the shower room thinking he could have a relaxing day. The boy quickly changed in his blue uniform and pulled the white armor over it. Once he was done pulling on his white boots, he walked out of the changing room. The moment he appeared in the hallway, Vegeta got a hold of him. The man grinned. "Half-breed! I was looking for you!" He said innocently.
Gohan raised an eyebrow. "What?" He asked as he stepped back. Vegeta pushed against Gohan's shoulder and made him turn to the right.
"I was looking for a sparring partner. And who is better than the new adult in the ship?" Vegeta said as he started walking and pulled Gohan along by holding his wrist. Gohan pulled away and frowned.
"I don't want to spar. I'm still tired. I just wanted to relax for a while." Gohan complained as he stopped walking.
Vegeta turned to him. "What is more relaxing than a little spar?" He asked.
"A spar with you is anything but relaxing." Gohan answered as he brushed through his short hair. "Can I pass?"
"No." Vegeta answered as he turned away from the boy. "I want to see you in the training room in three seconds." He yelled over his shoulder. Gohan pulled a face and followed the man to the training room.
Later that day Gohan walked in his own room. The boy sighed exhausted. He was about to fall in his bed when he noticed Katy was sitting on the windowsill. Her legs were pulled up so she could fit in the large window. Her head was resting against the cold glass and her eyes were closed. "Katy?" Gohan questioned as he appeared next to her.
Katy opened her eyes and smiled. "Hi." She muttered. Gohan noticed her wet cheeks and gave her a concerned glance.
"What's wrong?" He asked as he placed a hand on her knee and caressed her leg. Katy sighed and shook her head.
"Nothing." She answered.
"Oh come on. We're mated, remember? I know how you're feeling and it's not good. Tell me." Gohan answered stubbornly.
Katy eyed her mate for a few seconds. After this she sighed and looked out the window again. "A few years ago my comrades and I travelled to my planet to celebrate my fifteenth birthday." Katy started as she watched the stars fly by. "We had a small party. It was just me, my family, my comrades and their families. I had a very good time." A small smile appeared on Katy's face. "I was sitting in my room when everyone left. My mom walked in and we talked for a while. My comrades loved to embarrass me about the 'secret love affair', as they called it, we were having. My mom asked about that and I told her that I met this amazing guy."
Katy looked back at Gohan. "I told her I really liked him. He made me feel special and he did everything he could to spend some time with me." Katy looked at her knees. "I told her that he was going to be the one I would give my first time to. I trusted him completely."
A tear slipped down Katy's cheek. "My mom told me that the moment it happened, the next morning, I had to kidnap you and take you back to my planet so she could take a look at you. She wanted to be the one to welcome you to our family." Gohan placed a hand on Katy's shoulder. "I can never see her again. I will never see her again. I can't do that." Katy said as she started crying. The tears ran down her cheeks uncontrollably as her shoulders shook. Gohan placed his arms around her and closed her in a hug. Katy sobbed against his chest as Gohan leaned on Katy's head with his chin.
A few hours later Gohan walked into Vegeta's room. The man was just dressing and snarled at the half-Saiyan when he burst in the room. "Have you ever heard of privacy?" Vegeta snarled at him as he pulled his uniform up again.
Gohan smirked. "Are you really asking me that? I remember you telling me I didn't have the privilege of privacy." Gohan sneered as he crossed his arms.
"That's you." Vegeta answered with a shrug. The man frowned. "What do you want?"
"I have a question." Gohan started as he walked in the room. "Well, it's more of a suggestion. No, it's something I really need. Not only me… I mean…"
Vegeta growled in annoyance. "Tell me what you want." He snarled at the boy. The man pushed the half-Saiyan aside and walked out the room. Gohan followed him as he tried to think of an answer.
After thinking about it for a few seconds he decided to just say it. He grabbed Vegeta's shoulder and forced the man to turn to him. A gleam of determination was seen in his eyes. "I want to go to Katy's planet."

Okay. I know… Gohan's probably getting a little out of character… There is no man in the world who would turn a girl down when she offers something like that… Just go with it, okay? ;)
I hope you liked it. Please review and let me know what you think!
