Piccolo sat by the water. His thoughts on the strange dream he had had. The feeling of emptiness that he had felt was still there. He shuddered by the thought of loosing his beloved Gohan... He had already almost done so, and he knew that it would kill him if he actually did. "I... I would die..." his voice was full of sorrow. He looked over to where his clothes lay and took a deep breath and slipped into the water.

The water wrapped him in a calming coolness. He floated in the water, his mind drifting as he closed his eyes and let himself sink under the surface for underwater meditation.

He laid there without moving, the water dark around him. Normally he would settle himself in the lotus position but not this time. This time he just let himself float there under the surface, his arms outstretched along the sides of his naked body, as he thought about the dream.

Suddenly the water was disturbed, and Piccolo felt hands wrap around his body. Of course he had already sensed the ki and just let the hands wrap around him from behind.

It was Gohan.

** Beloved, are you all right? ** the voice in his mind was concerning but the love it radiated cut Piccolo's concentration off and he automatically tried to gasp which only caused him to suck in water and choke. Quickly he shook Gohan off of him and surfaced, coughing out water.

Gohan was soon by his side rubbing his back. "I'm sorry." He said as he saw Piccolo put his hand on his chest as the coughing caused him pain. Soon the Nameksei-jin stopped and looked up at Gohan with a smile on his lips. "I know... don't worry, I'll be fine." With that said he reached up and grabbed around his former student's neck and dragged him down for a kiss.

As they parted they noticed the sunlight reflecting in the water making it seem as though they floated in light instead of water. It was simply beautiful.

Far away at Capsule Corp. Vegeta walked through the corridor with a heavy bag on his back. It was filled with some of his clothes and some capsules he had stolen from Bulma's lab. He could hear his son wreck something in his room and the annoyed yelling of Bulma his now former wife. He had left her for... Kakarott. Vegeta smiled as he remembered the night he and Kakarott had shared. He had never in his life felt such need and completion it had, simply, been perfect.

Suddenly he stopped, his grip on the heavy back loosened and it fell with a loud thud to the floor. He had been having Kakarott's ki position in his mind the whole time since they parted to fix the last things before starting their life together. He knew that Kakarott had spent the last few days with his son and the Nameksei-jin in the desert along with a ki he didn't recognised or liked. But now, suddenly, Kakarott's ki had disappeared.

Without a second thought the proud Saiya-jin prince took off through the roof towards the place he had last sensed his, by bond, mate's ki.

*****

The two laid in each others arms as they rested after their lovemaking. Gohan sighed in content as he gently stroked the back of his beloved mentor as that one slept by him. "I love you." He whispered and kissed the Nameksei-jin's forehead. Then he settled himself to take a nap too, he knew that he should really get back and take over the training from his father but he was too exhausted.

Then he suddenly felt it. His father's ki suddenly disappearing. He quickly rose and his sensei was at his side in an instant.

"You felt that Sensei?" Gohan's young voice shook slightly.

"Yes I did, Gohan." Piccolo's eyes wide. How could Goku's ki suddenly disappear like that? What had happened? "We should get dressed." It was not a statement, it was an order.

The two quickly got dressed and left in a hurry towards their desert area.

*****

Piccolo and Gohan was the first to arrive at the clearing. What they saw was hard to describe, they saw Goku lying flat on his stomach and Naomi sitting by him crying, there were no ki emitting from him at all.

Gohan ran up to his father and lifted him from the ground. His father did not move.

Desperate, Gohan sensed deeper into his father's body but there were no trace of ki anywhere. Piccolo only stood there as in shock when Vegeta arrived. The Saiya-jin prince looked around and saw his Kakarott in the arms of that ones eldest son.

"What happened!?" he demanded turning to Piccolo, who, to him, was the only reasonable person on this planet at the moment.

"We don't know. We wasn't here. This is what we found when we got here..." Piccolo answered and gestured towards where Goku and Gohan laid. Vegeta looked over at Goku and his son again, and then he noticed Naomi.

"Who's the girl and why the hell does she feel so weird?" Vegeta's statement made Piccolo look at him with an odd expression on his handsome face, then, slowly, he turned all of his attention to the girl. He was right! The girl radiated a strange ki. Why hadn't he felt this before? This girl felt wrong!
