Bardock looked at Goku, watching for his next move. Not wanting to be caught off guard, he took the time to examine his surroundings with lightning quick glances to the side. They where in dense forest thick with foliage, and shrubs rimmed the trees.

The trees where thick-branched and tall reaching high above their heads.

This isn't enough room. He thought

Without warning Bardock disappeared and reappeared high above the canopy of trees.

With a loud yell he sent a colossal ki blast streaming to the ground where Goku stood.

A huge explosion erupted from the contact, smoke, dirt and dust flew into the air.

When the smoke cleared Bardock wasn't surprised to see the large canyon that had formed like a crease in the earths surface.

Where did he go? Hold on… He looked behind him and his question was answered. Goku was slightly above him, his joint hands ready to send him plunging to the earth, but Bardock wouldn't have it. Turning, his upper body slightly faster than his lower, he caught Goku's hands before they could make contact. With a throaty scream he swung Goku around and threw him towards the ground.

Recovering before he hit the ground Goku flew up to his father at lightning speed. He clenched his fist and threw a punch that could shatter skulls, straight for his father. Fazing out Bardock, reappeared behind Goku, and twisting his body around, kicked him hard in the ribs.

Over the past few weeks Goku had been teaching Bardock some of his moves. He already knew the Kamehameha and Goku was trying to get him spur the super saiyan form and, by Vegeta's suggestion, they had been training in the gravity room. They weren't training there now because they wanted to use ki blasts, and they didn't want to blow the gravity room to bits.

Before Goku could recover Bardock plunged into the forest and concealed himself in the trees, knowing that Goku wouldn't want to harm the forest in any way. lowering his ki he ran through the brush and waited beneath Goku for the right moment. Goku looked around, trying to spot his father, he had a feeling that he was somewhere in the forest but, like Bardock had guessed, he didn't want to blast the forest to ashes. Goku looked up, and, seeing his moment, Bardock shot out of the trees. While still hurtling towards his son he powered up and with a roaring "Kamehameha!" he sent the ki blast firing at his son. It hit him squarely in the back, although it didn't do much damage since they where just sparring and weren't using full power on ki blasts.

"Damn! How could I let my guard down." Goku said, looking at his dad he added

"Oh well, good job Dad! Whoo! I'm hungry, let's go get something to eat." he flew off in the direction of Capsule Corps. Bardock followed, he was quite hungry himself.

They flew in silence for a while until Goku said "So Dad after lunch do you want to go train in the gravity room?" Bardock looked at his son and said "Yes, that's a good idea."

They landed in Capsule Corps' front lawn and walked in the front door.

"Hey Goku, lunch will be ready but can you tell the others to come over me and Chichi made a big enough meal for all of you." Bulma said when Goku walked into the kitchen.

"Okay I'll IT there." Goku said placing two fingers on his forehead and then he disappeared.

"So Bardock, have you and Callisto spent anymore time together, you know bonded?" Bulma said, looking at Bardock a small smile on her face.

"Well we haven't bitten each other if that's what you're asking." Bardock said, a barely visible blush adorned his cheeks. They had spent some time together during the past six months but they had been too busy training to make it very long. Although they did spend one very romantic night a few weeks back.

"Bardock, what was Goku's mother like?" Callisto asked, they were taking a break from training, and they were resting side by side leaning against the rough bark of one of the many trees in the forest.

"Well she was very calm and shy for a saiyan, she fought like any other but she never fought unless necessary." Bardock looked at the setting sun "She had a weakness, and that was me, although when Goku was conceived it was more of a lust thing, we never loved each other, we never bonded." he looked down at Callisto, and his breath hitched in his throat. She's so beautiful… he thought. Her face was bathed in golden light making her skin glow, and her golden blonde hair shimmered in the light. She had closed her eyes, basking in the warmth. Feeling his eyes on her she opened them and looked back at him, her eyes a dark purple.

"You are beautiful." he said, reaching a hand out he tucked a stray lock of her golden hair behind her ear. Slowly as if hesitating their bodies leaned nearer to each other, finally meeting in a clash of soft lips. The kiss was sweet and gentle, nothing like the lustful kiss they share in Bardock's room. Callisto felt his warm tongue brushed against her lower lip and she parted her lips, granting him entrance. They explored each others mouths, tongues grazing. When they parted they looked the other in the eyes. Callisto smiled and leaned against him, intertwining her tail with his, she placed her head on his shoulder.

Bardock smiled at the memory of the kiss they shared in the tranquil forest.

She's so… amazing.
