Bad news always travels fast. The worst news in his life was when his youngest son was born with one of the lowest recorded power ratings, and his departure for a purge just days after he was born. Bardock in the last years thought about his youngest son every day. He wondered what he looked like, what happened to him and if there was any chance that he was still alive. He hated his special powers, a cursed gift he got from the Battle of Kanassa, but a gift he could not control. He saw thousands of stupid things over the years, but not a single information about the fate of his lost son. The day he heard the gossip about the purge mission from Earth, he listened carefully wondering about Kakarrot. People said they found a rouge Saiyan, so un-saiyan that he had taken a lowly mate. He heard about the despicable half-ling child born out of the union, and of the capture of the said Saiyan. The shipment of slaves was the first to come in. He observed the crowd of people brought out of the ship briefly wondering if he would see his son. His eagle eyes quickly spotted an interesting sight, a black haired woman, carrying a small boy crying into her shoulder. The crying and poor state of both was not what caught his attention, but the furry brown tail of the child clinging to his mothers arm. He observed them as they were brought into the main slave auction building. He quickly followed, when the woman had her back to him, he saw the black eyes of the child go wide as he noticed Bardock, as if he saw someone he knew. When the auction started the old Saiyan did not hesitate to spend most of his life savings buying the two, even the wrath of his fiery mate was not important enough to stop him from buying his own grandson.
Chichi looked up at their owner with fear, but fear went away to shock. He looks just like Goku, she thought. She held Gohan stronger not sure what was going to happen. They both had witnessed the purge of Earth, the blood and the gore, and blast that destroyed the whole planet. Later they were kept for several weeks in the slave transport unit, without enough food and water for everyone. They were dirty, hungry and terrified. She grieved when her beloved husband did not come back, when he did not save her. She took the insults of the brutal men that came to her house, insisting she was a bitch, whore and what not. She stayed strong, and she held on to her five year old son. Her brave boy tried to defend her, but failed miserably. They were cuffed, pushed into the slave unit and left there to die. But they did not die. Actually most of the slaves did not die. They Saiyans had no knowledge of the technology from Earth, and that many earthlings kept lots of capsules with them.
Now she was looking into a face that resembled Goku so much that she wanted to hug him, however the cold black eyes looking at her made her stop any emotional reactions. Gohan gazed at the stranger, and smiled seeing the same man that caught his attention in the crowd before the auction house.
"Come it's time to lead you home." Bardock told them, and lead them out of the crowd. Chichi observed their surroundings; they were heading towards a residential area, full of identical looking houses. They stopped in front of a large house, with brown bare walls, a small yard at the front and a red patio. The front door led straight into a spacious living room, with three sofas circling around an empty table. On the floor there were some random pieces of armour, boots and other stuff laying around, as if someone was undressing in a hurry. On one of the walls there was a huge bookshelf, with countless books, while the other walls were bare. No pictures, no decorations, just plain bare walls. On the right there were two pairs of doors, and on the left was a simple staircase.
"Sorry for the mess." Bardock said and motioned them to one of the sofas. Chichi sat down relived and put Gohan next to her. None of them knew what to say and there was an uncomfortable silence.
"Can you tell me what happened to my son?" Bardock asked after a few minutes.
"I have no idea. He went to fight those who came to destroy our planet, and he never returned." Chichi quietly spoke.
"Who are you talking to Bardock?!" Came a loud yell in Saiya'go from the first floor.
Chichi and Gohan looked up the stairs apprehensively, seeing a small woman in blue spandex at the top. She had long black hair, white skin and deep black eyes. She glared at them clearly annoyed.
"You did not you bastard!" She jumped down the stairs and attacked Bardock straight on. She gabbed anything in reach, including her armour and threw it at him. He jumped from the sofa and dogged most of the flying objects. Then she reached for his bookcase and started throwing his precious books.
"No, you cannot go and buy pleasure slaves out of my money!" She continued yelling. "This is also my house you sick fuck!" She didn't even glance at the dumb folded duo on the sofa. They did not understand a word, so they had no idea they were the reason for the small female's anger.
"Mom some of us need to sleep!" Came a yell from the top of the stairs.
"Shut up you lazy no good bastard!" The female yelled towards the top of the stairs. "You're just as useless as your fucking father! After all those years buying a pleasure slave! I wish I had him killed as soon as you were born! Scratch that BEFORE you were born you insolent brat!"
"A pleasure slave?" Raditz looked down the stairs and noticed two people on the sofa. One indeed was pretty black haired woman, but the other was a small boy. A small boy with a brown saiyan tail.
He came down and sat on the sofa next to them, clearly amused by his mother's behaviour and bossing around his father.
"You don't speak Saiya'go do you?" He asked them.
"How could you tell?" Chichi asked.
"Well if you did understand, you would run away after being called a pleasure slave." Radditz claimed. Chichi looked surprised at the small woman, and the woman stopped attacking Bardock and glared at the girl on the sofa.
"So do you mean to tell me that you are not a pleasure slave?" She asked the girl in Universal, and Chichi nodded.
"Then why in seven hells did you buy her?" She glared back to her mate.
"Because she is my mother." Gohan replied to the question.
"Correct." Bardock confirmed. "I bought her because she is the boy's mother."
"And what do you care if she was someone's mother?" The woman replied.
"Take a closer look Mom." Radditz said, grinning widely.
"He looks a lot like you. " She noticed.
"And a lot like you." Radditz added.
"So you mean this is your pleasure slave Son?" She asked firmly.
"For such a smart woman you are sometimes really dumb Mom." Radditz noticed. "He's probably my nephew." He smiled at the little boy.
