Chapter 3 The Telling
Bardock's POV
Toma came back after I put the boys to bed.
"Bardock. The King called me into see him."
"And?"
"I was right."
I mentally screamed 'No NO NOOO! I can't, he can't, we can't. It's just not possible.'
The doors were knocked down bring back memories of my childhood.
*Flash Back*
They knocked the doors in dragging me and my father outside. One grabbed me and took me away. But I heard my father's screams of pain. He was yelling at me to run and hide and get away. I struggled in the strong grasp that held me. But I couldn't get away.
"Stop struggling boy, unless you wish to be next."
My eyes widened in fear, I stopped moving.
"Good, boy."
"Daddy help me."
"Face it, kid. Your fathers to weak to save you." He smacked my ass, hard. Tears sprang into my eyes. But I wouldn't cry. I am a Saiyin, I don't cry.
*End Flash Back For Now*
I saw that man's face again right in front of me.
"Well if it isn't little Bardock." I backed away slowly, Toma ran out. A couple of them went to follow him. But the man shock his head.
"We're here for this bitch, the other one can go."
My eyes widened. I hoped Toma came back with help soon.
King Vegeta's POV
Toma burst into my office panting.
"Someone's *pant* got Bardock *pant*."
"Who?"
"The ones *pant* Who killed *pant* His father."
"GUARDS!"
"Yes, sire."
"We have an attempted carrier rape in progress."
Their eyes widened.
"Bardock..." Toma said before passing out.
One of the guards picked him up while the rest flew to Bardock's aide. I flew after them. I would personally execute who ever was doing this. I flew over seeing Bardock on the ground. He was still dressed so they hadn't done anything yet. But he looked so fearful. I roared my rage. The man in front of him looked at me. His smirk quickly changing to fear. I blasted the bastard into a smudge. The guards caught and killed the rest then left for the palace. I slowly walked over to him.
"M-my K-king?" he gasped out the words as if trying to get over his fear.
"They can't hurt you, their paying for there sins."
He nodded he was still afraid. It killed me to see him like this.
"Bardock."
"Yes, S-sire?"
"Toma was right."
"You m-mean..."
"Yes."
He looked at me weird as if, he didn't know what to think.
I picked him up and kissed him, not invading but lightly brushing his lips with my own He excepted the kiss. But did nothing to deepen it. I pulled away first seeing a quick flash of disappointment. He was interested. After I set him down his sons came running out the door, well Rattiz was running little Kakarot was stumbling to keep up with him. Rattiz barreled into his father asking 'Who were the mean men?', 'Why is the King here?', and 'What did they want with you?'
"The men were the ones who killed you grandfather, the King is here because he rescued me, and you're to young to know what they wanted."
"But Papa..."
"No."
"Huh...come on Kakarot. Let's go back to bed. Papa's busy."
"Kay, Rattiz."
The three of us looked at him with that 'WTF' look everyone reserves for situations like this."
"Since when could you talk?" Rattiz asked his brother.
"A year. There was just never a need before." He rubbed his eyes. "Can we go back to bed now Rattiz? I'm tired."
"I'll get you in the morning."
"*Yawn* Looking forward to it."
He walked to the house.
"Rattiz? Are you coming?"
"Yes." He ran after his brother.
"Well I feel like a rotten father. I didn't even know my son could talk."
"Don't feel bad, at least you had a year with only one child asking questions."
"True, my King. Very true."
I bid him good night and left, wondering how this was going to work.
