Goku's point of view

I can't sleep. Too much has happened to me over the past few days. Chi Chi has completely washed her hands of me. I replayed that argument in my head. "You are NO husband of mine. Get out of my life! Worthless scum!"

My eyes watered just thinking about it. "At least 'Geta will be good to me." I said to myself. My gaze moved to the cuts and bruises on me, caked with dried blood. 'Why couldn't she see the fact that she can't change saiyan nature? Would she treat Gohan and Goten as she did me?' I had so many questions, but few answers for them. I sat up on the couch, looking around at my surroundings. My gaze rested on a fridge. 'Food...'

I got up and walked into the kitchen for a midnight snack.

As I opened the fridge up, I was met with a tantalizing aroma. 'Is that... lunch meat...?' I grabbed the package, and upon closer inspection, I discovered that it was turkey meat!

I shoved the whole thing in my mouth, chewing away happily. I moaned with satisfaction as I swallowed the meat, savoring it's taste. "That was so good..."

I couldn't help but feel bad about eating all Vegeta's lunch meat. I went back to lay down on the couch, when I something caught my eye. 'Oh? What's that?' I padded over to the eye catching object. It was a sword, embedded in a ebony pedestal. On the tip of its handle, several gems were embedded in an iron hilt. Surrounding the hilt was black leather, wrapped with care, and the blade itself was jet black, and looked to be made from every known metal on the earth.

I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. I quickly scurried back to the couch and wrapped myself in the blanket.

It was Vegeta. 'Why is he up this late? Was there a lot on his mind too?' I saw him draw the blade, watching as he played with it. It was... graceful, to say the least. He weaved a lethal, but intricate pattern. Each step was carefully calculated, not knocking over or breaking a thing. He stopped midway. "Kakarot. I'm not an idiot. I know you were watching."

I got up, and faced him. "So? I thought what you were doing was very cool!"

"I don't like being watched."

"I still think that was cool..."

Vegeta put the sword back in its pedestal. "Now then, Kakarot. Why were you up so late?" I shifted uncomfortably, staring at the ground. "I had nightmares..."

"About...?"

"Chi Chi calling me worthless... and yelling at me to get out..."

Vegeta scowled at her name. "If that bitch caused THAT much harm to you to make you have nightmares, then she needs to be dealt with."

I found myself without words. "I..."

Vegeta came over to where I was and put a finger on my lips. "Shh... Not another word about it, Kakarot. Come. You will sleep in my bed with me."
