I dunno if there's gonna be confusion, but let me clarify that Turles and Raditz's dad, Bardock, is dead. The Bardock in this story is Turles's oldest son and was named after him. The other Turles, Turles Junior, will be referred to as Junior. He's a beta male anyway, so there's no confusing him with his father. :P
Usagi stopped dead on her way downstairs when she found it blocked by a pair of Turles look-alikes, and when they wouldn't move she crossed her arms over her chest and huffed. "Boys, if you don't move, I'll move you myself. No one gets between the Queen of the Saiyans and breakfast," she added with a wry smirk.
"Told you it was Aunt Usa's scent I caught downstairs," one of them said to the other. "What? You don't remember us, Aunt Usa?"
"Well, since you both look like your father and you're grown, I'd say you're Bardock and Turles Junior."
The one that was grinning nodded and hugged her, but the other merely sniffed the air and frowned, his chest hitching in a brief purr.
Both Usa and the nephew hugging her froze at that sound and looked up. "Bardy?" The one that could now only be Turles Junior asked nervously. "Bardy… she's Uncle Raditz's, you know that. Fuck, dude, you can smell him all over her."
"He hasn't bitten her," he pointed out with another soft rumbling of a purr. But the horrified look his brother shot him had him huffing and retreating down the stairs. "Later."
"I seriously doubt it, kid," Usagi snorted, rolling her eyes.
Bardock just turned his head to look her up and down, clearly appraising her figure as he swished his tail lazily in what she knew as an invitation to mate. "Go to breakfast before Uncle Raddy comes in and kills you," Junior hissed out in near panic. "Gods! Fucking alphas!" He sighed once Bardock was gone.
"It's ok," Usagi snorted when the younger nephew shot her an apologetic look. "If there's anything I've learned since I first met your Uncle Raddy, it's how to handle an alpha male. Come on, let's not worry about it and go get something to eat. I'm starving, kiddo."
They went into the dining room then and Usagi wasn't surprised to find Bardy watching her with naked lust in his eyes, his tail swishing on occasion. But the moment she scented his pheromones, she giggled at the way Reiko was stalking up behind him.
WHACK!
"MOTHER!? WHAT THE FRESH HELL WAS THAT FOR!?"
A full head shorter than her oldest son, Reiko simply folded her arms over her large belly and gave him the eye when he stood and stared down at her, growling under her breath. "Boy, I will call your father this instant and have him come straight home to take your ass out back and beat you. Not only are you staring at your aunt like she's a virgin going into the burning, but you are spreading that stink of seduction pheromones in my dining room! With your little sisters in the room, nonetheless! Gross, Bardock! Now take your ass to the shower and wash that smell off right NOW!" She yelled.
"Mom, I'm hungry," he grumbled, slouching a bit to make himself look smaller.
"You can eat when you don't smell like you're horny," she snorted, whacking his ass with the flat of her hand. "Now go wash up!" She ordered, pointing towards the back door. "And if you get that domineering posturing with me again, Bardock, I'll forgo calling your father and I'll just set your tail on fire!"
"Sorry, Mother."
"Damn right you are. Now git, boy."
"Are you sure you weren't a bitchy shrine maiden in a past life?" Usagi cackled as she took a seat and Bardock left the room with his tail drooping between his legs, headed for the training room showers.
"Not to my knowledge," Reiko grumbled before going into a little tirade in Althean about how gross and impolite Saiyan teenagers were. "And he may be almost a hundred," she added in the common tongue, "but I swear he's still a little fucking boy sometimes!"
Usagi just smiled at that, reminded of how Vegeta had once explained how he had pretty much been a child at twenty-seven—when Trunks had been conceived—even though he was of physical breeding age. For Saiyans, that calmer maturity came much later for most of them. It had explained a lot about Raditz's behavior when he'd left her the first time. "Sow their oats and pillage and fight," she mused. "Then they'll calm down after about a century."
"Well, it's been nearly a century, and I'm still ready to wring his fucking neck most days," Reiko hissed as she sat down at her oldest child's insistence and had a plate set in front of her.
"Eat, Momma," Tarra chuckled. "It's only because Aunt Usagi's about to go into heat, I'm sure."
Usa blushed at that and glanced over at Junior, who had securely wrapped his tail around his own waist to keep it from swishing around and getting him into trouble. "Turley?"
"Yeah," he confirmed, digging into his pancakes the moment Tarra served some up. "You've got a few days before you're really fertile, though. It was faint on the stairwell, but it's getting stronger."
Reiko cracked a smile when Usagi turned bright red and began to idly twirl her fork in the syrup. "Which means that Raditz is going to smell it when he gets his ass down here. Hope you brought a party hat."
"Party!?" One of Tarra's boys yelled. "Where, Momma!? I wanna go to the party!"
"Not until you're sixteen," Tarra snickered. "Now eat and hush. Adults are talking."
"We saved you some pancakes, Uncle Raddy!" Tarra exclaimed suddenly when she smelled him coming down the stairs, freshly washed, dried and dressed for the day. Then a fight broke out amongst the smaller kids and she turned back around, her tail lashing through the air. "Arta, Chok, Ruta, Bega! Fucking share, you brats!" She snapped at four of the massive horde crowded around the equally massive table. "Barley! Damn it, kid, no! Wait until your Uncle Raddy has—ok, fine! Hops, take your twin to the bathroom and show him how to piss!"
Usagi blinked at that and slowly smiled. "Ok, seriously? Turles named the twins Barley and Hops?"
"Seemed fitting since he was wasted as hell when we conceived them," Reiko replied with a shrug.
"Dear gods," she giggled. "Damn," she added softly when Raditz came out of the kitchen, food stacked over a foot high on his plate. "That's a whole lot of pancakes, Raddy."
Raditz puffed up at that and looked down at himself before locking eyes with her and grinning. "Well… I'm a whole lot of man!"
Yes he is, she thought privately as she really took in the tight black workout singlet—identical to her first mate's in everything but color— that left nothing to the imagination as it hugged him closely. It was then that her suspicions from the last two hundred years were confirmed as she noticed the red band around his bicep and the one missing from his thigh. Of course he'd given her the one closest to his cock.
"Something funny, angel?" Raditz asked as he sat down next to her.
"Oh, just realized where the band around your hair came from," she replied smoothly.
Raditz barked out a laugh at that and nudged Turley out of his seat with a whack of his tail upside the kid's head. "Mine, puppy. Move it or lose it." Scooting his chair closer to Usagi, Raditz prepared to dig in when he caught a whiff of something far more delicious than just pancakes drowning in maple syrup, and he felt his beast rising to the surface as he instinctively bent closer to her and slid his nose over her throat. "Oh… sweet dear gods, no…" Something close to a groan of mixed delight and dread came out of his throat, and it took every ounce of willpower he had not to clamp down on her shoulder and bite her right then and there.
"Raddy, don't make me separate you two!" Reiko snapped. "I already kicked Bardy out of here for doing the tail thing."
Usagi cringed when he growled loudly in her ear and stared her down. "What!? What did I do!? I can hardly fucking help it that I'm going into heat!" She yelled.
"Raditz!" Reiko snapped. "So help me gods, I will kick your giant fluffy ass out of my dining room, too! Stop all of that tail swishing this instant if you want any hope of eating breakfast!"
"There's something else I'd much rather eat," he purred as he bent his head to Usagi's throat and nuzzled it, drawing in more of that delicious, arousing scent. The blonde could only give Reiko and Tarra the deer in the headlights look when he continued to purr seductively and switched from nuzzling her neck to nipping and kissing it.
"A little help?" She squeaked out, her face flushing as she felt a familiar pooling of heat between her thighs. Gods, he knew all of her hot spots like the back of his hand!
"Oh, you're on your own for this one, Aunt Usa," Tarra replied smoothly. "Like Momma said, I hope you brought a party hat."
"We're going to have to do something to take care of this problem," Raditz whispered in her ear, "but for now, I'll keep it in check. After all, I'd hate to miss out on Saiyan-sized pancakes."
Usagi was relieved but surprised when he pulled away before digging into his breakfast and devouring it with typical Saiyan speed, though he was surprisingly neat about it and didn't get a drop of syrup on anything but his face. "Care to get a taste, angel?" He teased once he was finished, stacking his plate on top of her own empty dish. "Seems like a shame to waste it on the napkin."
She'd sworn to try, but with dozens of eyes locked on the exchange she blushed and worried her lower lip before shaking her head slightly. He didn't seem disappointed at least; if anything his smile only widened. "Later then, my angel. It's time to take the littlest brats out for training, anyway. Tarra, where's your mate?"
"Aspar's in the training room, engaged in some sort of pissing contest with Bardock," she sputtered as she gently pushed her mother back into her seat and began to clear the table. "Stay put, Momma, I'll get the dishes. Usagi, would you please help with the brats? Even Uncle Raddy has trouble wrangling them all."
Usagi missed the wink between uncle and niece as she shrugged and snagged a few children at once, helping to herd them out onto the beach. "So, what kind of training are we doing? Should I go change?"
"Nah, you're fine. We're just working on dodging today," Raditz replied casually as all of the kids stood still in random spots all over the beach. "Alright, brats! Me versus all of you, or… a total fucking melee?"
"MELEE!" They all chorused.
"Blood-thirsty little heathens," Raditz snickered. "Alright, then!" He added loudly, "show your Auntie Usa how it's done!"
"How what's done?" Usagi muttered out of the corner of her mouth.
"Just watch," he replied. "We'll join them once you've got a good feel for the game."
No sooner had he said that, all of the children moved at once, darting around the beach as swiftly as they possibly could while they all tagged each other with very low-level ki-blasts, leaving their opponent with a new bruise whenever they got hit. And it was a total free-for-all melee out there; no one was targeting any one person, it was all just random, utterly chaotic violence. "It's like Saiyan tag," Usagi finally said, once she was over how skilled these kids all were, even the twins and a three year old girl. "But no one person is 'it'."
"Can you make ki blasts?" Raditz inquired as he stealthily formed one in his hand.
"Yeah, Geta taught me right after we mated," Usagi commented. "But why? I'm a lot stronger than OW! What the fuck was that for!?" When he zapped her again she retaliated with a ki blast of her own, leaving a hole in his gi and a bruise on his abs. "You are so going to pay for that, Raditz," she growled ferally.
"Oh, I love it when you get all feisty, angel," Raditz chuckled as he backed into the battle on the beach. "Catch me if you can," he added as he shifted to Super Saiyan.
"UNCLE RADDY'S IN PLAY! GET HIM!" Junior shouted as he jumped into the game.
"HEY!" Rei yelled at them as she flung a ball of fire at her brother, "YOU KNOW THE RULES ABOUT TARGETING DURING A MELEE! YOU TOO, AUNT USA!"
Rules? Raditz had totally gotten her unawares! Fuck their rules! "Oh, I'm so nailing your ass," she whispered under her breath as she dodged and tagged a couple of the older kids whenever they got closer, steadily working her way towards Raditz. Her prey was engaged in simply laughing as he dodged some of the littler kids, but he was quite obviously not moving as fast as he could in an attempt to let them think they actually stood a chance.
Usagi struck while his back was turned, getting him in the one place that wasn't concealed by hair… and got a nice look at an ass cheek as she put a hole in his gi.
"Hey! Oh, it's you! Well, angel… if you wanted to look at my ass you could have just asked," Raditz snickered as he tagged her right back in the shoulder, moving so quickly she didn't see it coming.
Usagi's hair turned half-silver as she poured on the speed and got him in the thigh, ducking and moving to avoid another retaliatory strike while Rei screamed something about the rules yet again, followed by a similar shout at Junior when he tagged the raven-haired girl once more. "OW!" Usagi yelped when she felt a blow to her own rear.
"You want to target me, angel? You're going to get your ass whooped," Raditz crooned in her ear from behind before giving the other cheek a playful smack. It was his turn to yelp when she spun and got him again in the arm, and she was about to go full power when someone called time.
"Oh, you're so lucky," she ground out through her teeth.
"You have no idea," he purred in response as he closed the gap. "Time for targeting penalties, angel."
"Penalties?" Usagi asked incredulously, crossing her arms over her chest. "Excuse me?"
A pair of stomping feet caught her attention and she turned her head to find Rei standing in the same manner as herself, tapping her foot impatiently as she glowered up at her. "The penalty for targeting is a kiss for every hit!" She yelled up at her.
"To kiss it and make it better," Junior snorted as he strode up and kissed Rei on each of her cheeks. "It started with Tarra years ago because she's such a pussy."
"I believe you hit me four times, angel," Raditz said smugly. "I was keeping count, in fact."
Usagi looked around in a panic to find several of the kids exchanging kisses to each other's cheeks, some of them gagging in disgust and grumbling or rolling their eyes. "Oh, you've got to be fucking kidding me," she whimpered under her breath.
"And for making us look at his ass, it had better be on the mouth," Rei added with a tiny, mean smirk that reminded Usagi so much of Turles. "And don't whine about how you're in heat, either," she purred mischievously.
Waggling his eyebrows suggestively, Raditz simply stood there otherwise, tightly leashing his beast. "I'm waiting, my angel. Four of them. On the mouth."
Finding all of those black and violet eyes fixed on her, some of the older kids grinning knowingly, Usagi sighed in surrender, stood on her tiptoes, and simply pressed her lips to his. When he returned the modest kiss, she tasted maple syrup as he brushed his tongue over her lower lip.
"One," he murmured when she pulled away, his tail flicking as his inner beast grew impatient with waiting for more.
Her eyes hazing over slightly as his pheromones filled her nose, Usagi leaned back in for number two, her own tongue sliding over the crease of his mouth as his chest rumbled in a barely audible purr and his tail began to really swish around behind him. But the moment his tongue made contact with hers she broke away with a blush and turned an even deeper shade of scarlet at the sight of so many grins on the older children… though at any other time she would have been laughing at the little ones, who were all making gagging and vomiting noises.
"Two," he rumbled, his tail snaking around her waist to drag her up against him tightly as he bent his head for the next taste of her.
The next kiss was meant to be as chaste as she could possibly make it, but when his hand bunched in her hair and she felt his tongue attempting to coax her mouth open, she parted her lips and whimpered with desire, melting into him as he took control and his free hand began to wander while his chest vibrated in a loud, happy purr. The fact that they had an audience faded from her mind as he slowly devoured her, their tongues dueling lazily as he growled with approval at her submissive yet eager response.
And when Raditz broke away, Usagi actually moaned in disappointment and cracked open her eyes to find nothing but deep desire in his. "Three," she breathed out in a small rush of air. She blinked in surprise when he retreated from her slowly. "Raditz?"
"She owes you one more, Uncle Radu," Rei giggled up at them.
Raditz licked his lips slowly and nodded, silently willing his cock to stay flaccid, just as he had been since the first kiss. And it was far from easy with the scent of her heat perfuming the air. "I think I'll take the last one in private," he replied huskily, knowing that he'd take her right there on the sand if he dared to allow himself to kiss her without a break to calm his beast. A long, long break, at that.
"Come on, my little matchmaker," he snorted as he lifted Rei onto one of his massive shoulders. "Don't think for a moment that I don't know what you were up to. Don't you find kissing gross at your age?" He added as he walked with her down the beach to check on all of the kids' bruises.
"Only if it's Mommy and Daddy," she giggled. "I think you and Aunt Usa are romantic," she whispered in his ear.
############################
Entering the training room an hour later, Raditz ignored Bardock's snicker when his nephew saw the hole in the backside of his gi, instead growling at him angrily. "I have a bone to pick with you, ge… and I think you know damned well what it's about. So either power up right now and fight me to the death, or apologize and swear on your tail to never show interest in my woman again."
Bardy's eyes grew a little wide at that, and he actually fought down his beast's furious reaction to such a challenge as his common sense kicked in for once in his life. If he fought Raditz, he would lose. Quickly and badly, at that. "You'd take it that far, Uncle Raddy?"
"She's mine, boy," Raditz snarled, stalking forward. In a flash of golden light, he was instantly a Super Saiyan, and he was pinning his oldest nephew to the wall, staring intimidatingly down at him with hard emerald eyes. "I waited over two hundred years for her," he hissed through his teeth. "I went through mental anguish that I can't even explain to a puppy as young as you while I waited on her to be free to mate again. And when our king died, I waited ten more years for her to come to me… and now that she's here, I will be damned if I'll allow my rights as Vegeta's v'enra to be challenged by a whelp like you!" He shouted.
"So make your choice, warrior. Fight me and die, or stay the fuck away from my mate. Understand me?"
The crazy glint in Raditz's eyes actually had Bardock's beast shrinking back, and he nodded quickly. "Ok, ok! I'll leave her alone! Damn it, Uncle Raddy, she was in heat and the scent took me by surprise!"
"I don't give a shit, Bardock! Leash your beast or I'll permanently leash it for you," Raditz growled before slapping him hard upside the head. He then released him, his fist clenching as he fought the urge to put the younger alpha through the wall and really assert his dominance as the main alpha of their little pack of Saiyans. He didn't need to, though… Reiko had already done it for him by calling Turles, who was on his way home as quickly as possible to keep his sons busy while Raditz pursued the object of his desire. "Now swear it on your tail."
"But, Uncle Rad—AH!" Bardock trembled slightly and then struggled in earnest when he was slammed forcefully into the wall, his body leaving a Saiyan-shaped dent in it.
"Bardock, I will rip you into little fucking pieces and lovingly hand them to your father if you do not swear on your tail to stay the fuck away from my mate!" Raditz roared loudly. "Now swear it or I will kill you here and now!"
"I swear it on my tail! Mah'ni! J'ha nava m'yo!" He hadn't even realized he'd been being held above the ground until Raditz suddenly dropped him, and Bardock panted for air as he knelt on the training room floor while Raditz's footsteps stomped out and he slammed the door behind him. Damn… the waiting had made Raditz a little crazy where Usa was concerned apparently, and Bardock was going to make doubly sure to stay at least a hundred feet from her at all times.
#############################
Usa jumped a mile when two arms suddenly ensnared her from behind and she heard a low, rumbling growl emanating from the chest pressed tightly to her back. Licking her lips, she stayed as still as she could and forced herself to relax. "Raditz?" She whispered nervously.
"Mine," he growled with a nip to her cloth-covered shoulder. "K'sha m'yo."
"Raditz?" She asked again, her eyes fluttering closed when he began to swish his tail around and nuzzle her throat.
"Say it, Usa. You're mine. I want to—no, I need to hear it, right here and now," he ground through his teeth, forcing his beast not to do anything that might anger her or scare her.
"Does this have anything to do with Bardy and this morning?" She asked carefully as she scented his pheromones in the air and felt them beginning to cloud her senses. Mmm… shit, he smelled so good that it was quickly making her feel soft and compliant, making her want him to kiss her and take her to his bed and just let him seduce her into utter submission.
"I will kill the little shit if he so much as sits next to you," Raditz rumbled from behind her, his eyes slipping shut at the smell of her arousal. Damned tail… he hadn't even realized it was working its magic, and he stopped it immediately by wrapping it about her upper thigh. "Tell me you're mine, Usa," he ordered once more, albeit not as harshly. "Buh'tir, r'sha…"
A gentle nip to her throat had her whimpering with pleasure, and Usagi couldn't stop her hips from rocking back into his groin due to her tail-induced arousal. Gods, she was aching so badly for his touch that she felt like she was going to faint! "T'au, Raditz… buh'tir… t'uh au…"
Those words— coming from her mouth—had Raditz groaning and purring all at once, and while his beast was roaring for him to take her, he wouldn't allow it. Not this time. "Waited so long to hear you say those words, r'sha… and I'm sorry about the tail roofies. If you don't want me to, I'll go away… but if you do, I'll take care of your needs."
"Please," she whimpered, rocking back once more in a quest for friction. Before she could blink, she'd been spun around and scooped into his arms, and everything went by in a blur of color as he used his Saiyan speed to take her to his bed in less than five seconds flat. And then she was being kissed deeply and thoroughly, breathing in a fresh dose of tail pheromones through her nose as she returned the slow, passionate kiss, her legs wrapping around his waist to tug him down to her tightly.
Gods, she'd forgotten about this—this pure, undeniable chemistry that had always been between them, and Usagi was already tugging at his gi to bare him to her eager hands, curious to know if his body felt as good and hard as it had two centuries before.
A crash sounded downstairs just as Raditz had pushed her skirt up to her hips, and he would have totally ignored the disturbance had it not been accompanied by a scream he knew all too well. "Shit," he breathed, knowing that the footsteps pounding up the stairs were headed in their direction.
Fighting her way up through the haze of desire, Usagi focused the moment someone banged on the door, but when it was shoved open and Bardock gave them a panicked look, she righted her skirt and grabbed Raditz by his hair to yank him back.
The Saiyan alpha had been ready to pounce on his nephew for his rudeness, and he was grateful to Usagi for restraining him long enough for him to get his beast under control. The other warrior clearly hadn't interrupted for any other reason than an emergency, and was rattling something off so fast that Raditz couldn't even understand him.
Reiko solved the problem by shouting up the stairs. "USAGI! We need a healer right NOW!" She bellowed.
That got both of them moving off of the bed, and Usagi was pushing her way past Bardock and was using her ki to soften her landing when she went right over the bannister and straight to the first floor. "RADITZ!" She yelled, knowing that he wasn't far behind her as she shoved several crying toddlers away from the weeping, bleeding reincarnation of the Senshi of Mars. "It's ok, Rei," she whispered as she assessed the huge piece of glass sticking out of her little thigh.
"Fuck," Raditz gasped, moving to scoop up his niece. He stopped when Usagi grabbed his arm, though, and realized what a mistake it would be to move her, so he opted to take her little hand in his, his other hand running gently through her hair. "Can you heal her without removing the glass in one shot?"
"Yeah, but someone with steady hands needs to draw it out slowly," Usagi replied. Glancing around, her eyes settled on Bardock, whose hands were the only ones besides Raditz's that weren't shaking. "Come on, Bardy, I'm going to put my hand around the glass and I want you to draw it out as I do so."
"Just do it," Raditz grunted when his nephew hesitated to come any closer to the blonde. "This is one time I won't kill you for coming too close."
Looping her tail tightly around her uncle's wrist, Rei whimpered when Usagi placed her hands around the glass, trying her best not to cry a lot. She was a warrior, damn it, and Saiyan warriors didn't cry over injuries! "Sorry, Uncle Radu," she said softly. "I smell Aunt Usa all over you."
Raditz chuckled at that and managed a tiny shrug. "I was so close to getting that fourth kiss, too, Rei. But don't worry about it, I'll hit her up for the debt next time."
"Wait, that kiss didn't count?" Usagi asked distractedly as her hands began to glow with her healing warmth.
"Nope. Not unless Uncle Radu says it does," Rei replied, wincing when her oldest brother began to carefully draw out the shard in her thigh. Fat tears began to roll down her cheeks then, and the little firestarter paled as she watched the bloody glass slowly ease upwards.
"No, baby girl, look at me," Raditz purred gently, tilting her face upwards. "That's it. You're such a good, strong warrior, Rei. You're doing so well and I'm so very proud of you." He nodded and kissed her forehead when she managed a watery smile. "So, how did this little scratch happen?" He continued, intent on distracting her as Usagi continued to slowly, carefully heal her.
"I was playing the melee with the horde… I'm sorry, Ma… I know you told me not to do it inside," she added in a slightly fearful whisper.
"Rei, honey, I'm not going to punish you," Reiko managed, giving the little hand she was holding a squeeze. "Just don't do it again, okay? I don't think my mirrors or my heart can take another accident like this. You're lucky your Aunt Usa was visiting."
"Yeah, she was," Usagi agreed quietly as the last of the glass was drawn from the wound and she healed it up. "It went through the femoral artery and the bone. But," she added quickly when she sensed Reiko and Raditz stiffened at the news, "I took care of it all. There… all done. And Bardock, that was a great job you did," she added with a pat to his shoulder and then a squeeze. "You've got a really steady hand, boy."
Carefully setting the bloody piece of mirror to the side, Bardock let out a rush of air he hadn't realized he'd been holding, and nodded solemnly before drawing his little sister into his arms and hugging her tightly. "Glad you're ok, firebug. No more melees in the house, understand me?" He looked at Usagi then. "Should I put her in bed?"
"Yes," all three of the other adults chorused immediately.
"She didn't lose a lot of blood because of the way you drew out the glass while I healed her leg," Usagi added, "but it would be best that she rested for the remainder of the day, just in case."
"Aaaaw! But staying in bed is worse than punishment!" Rei protested. "Please, Ma! Can you just ground me or spank me!?"
Reiko laughed at that and shook her head. "Yup, I think she'll be just fine. Upstairs young lady—oh no, don't you dare walk," she said quickly when Rei moved to do so. "You let your brother carry you up."
"Come on, firebug, I'll read you stories all evening," Bardock offered. "Ma, the other brats looked pretty shocked… you wanna…?"
"We'll get them," Raditz assured him as he turned to several toddlers and scooped them all up. "In fact, I think it's cookie time!" He exclaimed happily. "Who wants cookies!?"
The kids all seemed to brighten a bit at that, but Raditz knew he'd sufficiently distracted them when two toddlers dove into his untamable mane and began a game of hide and seek. He gave Usagi a look of relief then, but when she stared back at him with those wide, blue, irresistible eyes, he couldn't help but mouth a single word to her before turning towards the kitchen.
Later.
FINALLY! YAAAAAAAAAAAY! I UPDATED, HOLY SHIT! There's another chapter hashed out in my head and it's coming soon, I promise. Also! I have a new fic up, Blind Love, and it's a Mako and Bardock fic that is going to be yummy as hell… oh yush… sex slave Bardock… the very idea makes me want to track down my husband…
