"Bardock please don't leave."

Bardock looked down at the woman who now clung to his side. His glare softened, his hand reached out raising her chin.

Kagome smiled sadly, their faces met in a sweet, tender kiss.

"I am sorry my love, but I feel that something is not right."

"But your injur-"

"I'll be fine, please just do this for me. This pod will take you far away from here to someone where safe."

"But Bardo-"

"No buts, your carrying our son Karkarot. Raditz will go with his mother too and get to safety, so please do this for me."

Kagome's eyes glistened with unshed tears, but she nodded solemnly. Clutching the baby bundle that was their son Karkarot closer to her bosom.

"Fine, but promise, promise you'll come back to me."

Bardock held her gaze for a moment before he shot off towards Frieza's ship.

The tears fell like two open streams from Kagome's eyes. She turned frantically, racing to the pod.

Please Kami-sama! Please grant my wish and allow him to live!

She buckled up pressing the takeoff button inside the pod. Planet Vegeta soon got smaller and smaller. She braced herself and her son as they broke through the atmosphere. From the small glass porthole she could see Bardock fighting against Frieza. Echoed by her son's soft cries.

-o00o-

"Please.." a soft voice croaked out, "someone please help me."

She could tell she was in a forest of some sort. What if there was no one. Her eyesight was hazy. The pod had crashed badly when it entered the atmosphere. She didn't think she had long.

Kami-sama please save my baby!

It seemed like forever till she heard something. The crunch of leaves and snapping of twigs. She clutched her son closer determined to protet her son to her very last breath.

"What do we have here..Oh my-wait one second deary, I'll get you out of there."

Kagome only had a small glimpse of their savior before she fell into the land of darkness. An old man, with a kind face.

Thank you kami-sama.

-o00o-

Kagome's eyes fluttered open, when she heard her son's soft giggles and made to rise.

"Ah you should lie still your wounds are very bad."

Kagome turned her head to the side. Her son sat upon the floor playing with something and she saw the old man from earlier. Kagome could feel the extent of her wounds. She knew without a shadow of a doubt she would soon pass into the other world. Her eyes locked on to her son where she saw him now playing with the old man.

"Please...I don't have much time...please take care of my son." Kagome's voice felt raw when she spoke.

The old man looked befuddled.

"But I am an old man, your wounds they will hea-"

"Please I-I don't have very much time. Please tak-take c-c-car-care of him."

She reached up weakly as if beckoning her son and the old man brought him. Karkarot clung to his mother.

"Mah mah" He gurgled out and Kagome let out a little laugh that turned into a horrid cough.

"M-my son listen to me, list-en to this man he shall r-rasie you t-till y-ya father comes."

Kagome hand reached up weakly to ruffle her son's hair.

"I love you, my s-sweet boy."

Karkarot as if sensing his mother's death as her hand became limp, let loose a shrill cry that carried on the wind echoing throughout the old man's home. Kagome's last prayer hung in the air.

Let him be strong...let him love and be loved...please Kami-sama watch over my baby..my sweet Karkarot.

Finished.
