Hey, guys! Welcome to my new chapter! For all the review I've gotten, my heart is about to burst with pride. It makes me feel like I accomplished something in my life even if its just a story. Anyways, I would like to thank everyone who reviewed. You guys are probably thinking if Chichi will fall for Gogeta. Does Chichi like Gogeta in that way or is it leading to Kakarot? Will Turles try and win her heart? Well, I don't know if she's the type to fall for him or is she? *flashes a devilish smile* I don't want to spoil it for you so let's get on with the story. Enjoy! :)

Chapter 10: Battle With The Prince

Last time...

"Wait." Kakarot gave her a questioning look. "I can't sleep in my armor. Do you have something I can wear?" She asked him. He nodded and rambled through the drawers. He pulled out a muscle shirt and gi pants. "Are these okay?" Chichi took a glance and grabbed it. "Yeah. I'll be taking a bath now." She walked into the bathroom and locked the door.

Kakarot smiled and stripped down into his boxers. He crawled under the covers and put his arms behind his head. He was glad Chichi understood but she still hasn't warmed up to him yet. Only his mother understood his emotions but now she was gone. And now Chichi was here to take the job. He couldn't explain the feels he had for Chichi. He could only explain it in a way mates would do. He wanted to show her how much he loved her but that was going to take time. Kakarot yawned and closed his eyes. Chichi was the love of his life and he's never is going to lose her as he did to his mother. Many thoughts clouded his mind and he couldn't resist the blackness around. He fell into a peaceful sleep, a thing he hadn't done ever since his mother died.

Chichi leaned against the door and slightly blushed. Her heart was beating fast when he stood so close to her. When Gogeta stood close to her like that, her heart didn't beat as fast as it did with Kakarot. She felt butterflies in the pit of her stomach. This is the first time she felt like this. Could she possibly have feelings for Kakarot? She shook her head and cleared her thoughts. She could thing about these things later. Right now she wanted to relax and have some time alone without anyone interrupting. She shed her clothes and filled the tub up to the rim. She set the clothes Kakarot gave her on the side. She stepped into the steaming water and relaxed, feeling all her cramped muscles loosen. She sighed and closed her eyes.

"This feels nice." She sighed blissfully. She cleanse her body and washed out the dirt and grease in her hair. She scrubbed her scalp gently then dunked her head into the water, washing out the soap. Lifting her head, she rinsed the water out of her hair. She stood up and grabbed two towels from the rack. She looked the water in disgust, the water was brown. She drained the water and dried off her body. She took her night clothes and changed into them. Throwing the towels in the hamper, she peeked in the room between the door as she opened it. Seeing no Kakarot in sight, she turned off the lights and turned to the bed. He looked so cute and innocent when he was sleep. This reminded her of Gogeta. He was probably worried sick about her. She walked around the bed and climbed in the sheets. She faced the opposite of Kakarot, their backs to each other.

"Good night, Kakarot." She whispered before entering a world of dreams. Kakarot smiled in his sleep, as if he heard Chichi's words. Both saiyans fell asleep with smiles on their faces. Once again, their tails imtertwined with each other.

Chichi woke up to the darkness of the morning. She guessed I was five o' clock in the morning in which the sun has risen yet. She stretched out her limbs but her hand brushed on Kakarot's backside. She retreated her arm back and looked his back. Many scars were engraved in his soft yet tough skin. Reaching out her hand, she touched his bare back. Her fingers traced the scars but she could also feel the texture of his muscles. He must have gone through mant brutal battles considering all the scars.

"What are doing back there, Chi?" Kakarot asked as he turned around. Chichi jumped back surprise, resulting in fall off the bed with a loud thud. Kakarot jumped off the bed, alerted and didn't find Chichi on the bed. Confused. he jumped on the bed peered over the bed side.

"Whatcha doing down there, Chichi?" Kakarot asked with a confused face. Chichi looked up to see Kakarot peering over the bedside. She rubbed her head and stood up, using the near by table to lift herself up.

"You surprised me, Kakarot! I didn't know you were awake!" Chichi exclaimed, waving her hands around like a manic.

"Surprised you? I just asked you what you were doing behind my back." He stated and sat up the bed. Chichi rolled her eyes at his lack of knowledge. He was so naive.

"Didn't you feel something on your back? Also why are there so many scars on your back?" She asked with a curious glance. Kakarot grinned and rubbed his head.

"Well, let's just say Vegeta made those." He said.

"Oh." A knock interrupted their converation. "Who is it?" Kakarot called out as he bounced off the bed.

"Sergeant Karnataka. The Prince requests your assistance in a sparring match, sir." A female voice announced from the door.

"Send my regards." Kakarot said as he walked to the closet.

"Yes, sir." Then all was left is silence.

Kakarot turned to Chichi as he pulled his tunic over his massive hair. "I want you to stay here unless someone requests you. I don't want you roaming the palace without permission." Chichi rolled her eyes and scoffed. "What if I starve?" She asked.

Kakarot sat at the end of the bed and pulled on his boot before walking over to the nightstand, grabbing his scouter. "Get something to eat and come straight back here. Don't go anywhere else besides here unless you want to visit Bulma." Chichi tilted her head in confusion.

"How do you know her name?" She asked.

"She's the Prince's soon-to-be mate and all saiyans must know of their soon-to-be princess's name." He stated, clicking the button on his scouter.

"Oh." Was all she said before walking up to him. "Umm...do you have another set of armor I could wear? Mines worn out and isn't in good condition anymore." Kakarot raised an eye brow before walking up to the service button. He clicked the button and buzzing was heard before a males voice spoke. "What you do request, sir?

"Send a group of servants. The female could use a new set of armor." He commanded.

"Yes, sir. They will arrive shortly." The line went dead. Kakarot turned to Chichi and smiled. "A group of servants will arrive shortly. They'll measure your size and give you a set of armor." Kakarot said before grabbing the door knob. "See you later, Chichi. Got some ass to kick." He chuckled before leaving. Chichi laughed lightly and sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for the servants. A few minutes later passed before light knocking was heard at the door. "You requested a new set of armor?" Chichi opened the door and a group of ladies rushed in.

"Ahh. You must be Kakarot's mate." An elderly woman said warmly and smiles. Chichi blushed awkwardly before smiling.

"Actually, we're not mated just yet." Chichi said.

"Oh, I'm sorry m'am. Now shall we get started?" The elderly woman asked. Chichi nodded and awkwardly removed her clothes, leaving her standing in her under garments. Chichi stood on a 4 inch wood and lifted her arms horizontally. The servants recommended her to stand still when they made measurements. After what seemed like hours, they finished. Chichi brought her arms down, which were hurting from lifting it for so long. She looked to the servants as they wrote down numbers on a chart.

"My, you have a more defined body than any other females, young lady." The elderly woman said. Chichi slightly flushed and smiled.

"Thanks." Chichi said.

"Your armor should arrive in a few minutes. We'll be taking our leave." She said as the group left the room. She felt satisfied and decided to re-freshen up. An hour later or so, she walked out the bathroom only in a towel, exposing her bare legs. She founded her new set of armor on the mattress and greedily picked it up. She rushed to the bathroom and threw it on. She squealed and jumped in excitement. This armor suit her just right; showing off all her curves in the right places. Her new armor was very different from her old one. It didn't expose her belly and totally was not a short cut. This armor looked much like the males armor expect a female version. The lower half consisted of an spandex shorts that ended before her knees under a metallic skirt.

"I'm going to love this new armor." She cooed herself. She walked out the bathroom and searched for a scouter. I seemed like they didn't give her one. She shrugged and decided to visit Bulma to see how she lived up to now. Walking down the halls, she looked at the paintings on the wall. Various of them showed them Legendary Super Saiyan but they already completed that level. Right now they focused on achieving the Ascended Super Saiyan level, or so called Super Saiyan 2. She also wanted to achieve this level but with all the things that's been going on, she probably won't.

Chichi looked to the door ahead of her, it looked similar to Bulma's lab. She shrugged and knocked on the door. No response. She knock twice but no repsonse. She sighed and twisted the knob, surprisingly it was unlocked. She peered her head in before leading her body in. This place looked oddly different from Bulma's but it still held the chemistry theme. Walking around, she found a person similar to Kakarot but looked much more older. She walked behind him and tapped on his shoulder. The saiyan turned around before raising an eyebrow.

"Who are you?" The stranger asked.

"You look so much like Kakarot. Are you his older brother?" She asked, instead of answering his question.

"I'll tell you but tell me who you are." He stated.

"I'm Chichi Mao, Kakarot's soon-to-be mate." She informed before staring intently. "Now answer my question." She demanded. The male crossed his arms before giving her a stern look.

"Is that a way to treat your father-in-law?" He asked. Chichi eyes widen and gasped.

"Your Kakarot's father?" She asked incredulously.

"Of course but I'm certainly not his sibiling. But he does have two older brothers." He stated before turning his back, continuing his experiment.

"Oh, well, I'm sorry for misjudging you." She bowed her head in shame and guilt. He waved his hand.

"Not to worry child. Now, could you explain to me what you are doing here?" He asked, never moving his head. Chichi looked up and stared at his back as she spoke.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you but I thought this was Bulma's lab." She explained. He looked up from his work and turned to her.

"You mean the Prince's mate?" Chichi nodded her head. "Her lab is far from here. Why don't I get someone to escort you there?" He suggested, standing up and walking away.

"Sure." She said as she watched him walk into another room. Minutes later he returned and sat back down.

"Your escort should be waiting outside. Its nice meeting you, Chichi. Its good to know my son has choosen a responsible, honorable mate." He smiled at her. Chichi smiled back with beaming happiness.

"Thank you. It was nice meeting you." Before she could opened the door, she turned back to him. "Hold on. I haven't gotten your name yet."

"How rude of me. I'm Bardock." (A/N: I basically don't know his last name, so I'll leave it out.) Chichi nodded and waved.

"Bye, Bardock. It was nice meeting you." They bid their goodbyes and got back to work. Chichi flung open the door and her jaw dropped. Her escort was not other than... Chichi tilted her head in confusion. Was this him or was it his brother?

"Umm...who are you?" Chichi asked, uncertainly. The stranger had a look of surprise and gave her a sexy smirk.

"I'm Turles. What's a pretty thing like you doing out here all alone?" He flirted. Chichi's face scrunched up in disgust.

"Turles? I had been planning to walk there on my own but it seems Bardock as found me a pervert escort." She rolled her eyes.

"Fiesty one. I like that." He whispered, flashing another sexy smirk. He leaned in but Chichi pushed him away.

"I can hear you just fine. Now will you please just get me there before you get a fist full." She angrily stated.

Bardock, who heard the entire conversation, rolled his eyes and spoke sternly. "Turles, i asked you to escort her not flirt with her. Now get going or your in for a lecture. Better yet, a battle."

Turles rolled his eyes and sighed deeply before turning around. "Thanks for your help, Bardock." Bardock nodded, never once taking his eyes off his experiment. Chichi shrugged and shut the door. As she did, Turles wiggled his eyebrows at her from over his shoulder. Chichi snarled and kicked his back. Turles yelped, falling face first, grabbing his back in pain.

"I ain't that stupid to fall for your games. Get your ass up and lead the way." Chichi grumbled. She's starting to hate her new friend. Seems he's a total perv than she thought he was.

Turles cursed under his breath about how women can be so demanding. He stood with slight irritation written on his face. He didn't look at her, just leading the way in an awkward silence. Chichi didn't seem to mind the silence, she didn't want to talk to him anyway. All the way was silence until they reached the door. Turles knocked on the door, taking a step back. The door swung open to reveal another female scientist.

"Yes?" She asked.

"I am escorting this female to the woman's lab. Where is she?" Turles looked at the female in disgust, clearly not showing it. He never liked females who were interested in science. He loved which were fighters, and had an attitude.

"She's not in right now. She attended a meeting a few hours ago and hasn't returned." The scientist said.

"Which meeting has she attended?" He asked, wanting to get this over with.

"A meeting with the King and Prince." She said, looking behind him, at Chichi in disgust.

"Alright. We'll be leaving." Turles walked off, not bothering to say thank you. The scientist slammed the door in Chichi's face, leaving the saiyan angered. "Who does she think she is giving me that look." She muttered to herself. She never liked those who disrespected her or gave her a dirty look. Chichi caught up with Turles, silence settling among them once again. Moments later they reach the throne room. Turles pushed open the door and cleared his throat. All eyes turned on him, daring him to interrupt their meeting. He ignored them and bowed to the King.

"My King, we wish to have a word with you." Turles curtised. King Vegeta held his hand in the air, motioning to stop the meeting. He walked over to Turles and nodded in acceptance. Turles arose and pulled Chichi to his side, who growled lowly in protest. Kakarot growled lowly, not wanting to see Turles near Chichi.

"What is it that you need? You have interrupted a very important meeting." King Vegeta said.

"Kakarot's mate has been requested to your son's mate's side." Turles said.

"And who may I ask has requested?" King Vegeta asked.

"My father, Bardock." Turles answered. Kakarot's head tilted in confusion.

"He doesn't have the authority to do so but Vegeta-sai's soon-to-be Princess needs a strong, courageous body guard." King Vegeta rubbed his goatee, thoughtfully. Chichi's head snapped up hearing that she could possibly be Bulma's body guard.

"Sire, I would love to be the Princess's body guard." Chichi quickly blurted out. King Vegeta's eyes narrowed in her direction. Kakarot's eyes widen at her outburst. She couldn't possibly do that would she. She wasn't that much of a fighter when they took them from their village but she went all the way out during their battle a few days ago. She would probably be capable of killing the King if she did.

"Are you capable of defeating the King of Vegeta-sai?" King Vegeta asked.

"I don't know, sire." Chichi shrugged. King Vegeta smirked.

"If you can beat me in a battle, you'll be assigned as her body guard." King Vegeta challenged. Before she could answer, King Vegeta turned on his heel and stood still. "Let's see what you are capable of." Chichi stood there not knowing if they were to start. She was nervous alright. She has to beat the King in a battle! Her palms were sweaty and her mouth was dry.

Kakarot was about to stop them until Vegeta roared over the silence. "What are you doing standing there, Old Man?!" An outraged Prince's voice boomed throughout the room. He wanted to see the battle between Kakarot's mate and his father but he just had to stand there doing absolutely nothing! King Vegeta didn't turned nor speak.

Vegeta growled and and clenched his fists. "If your not willing to, I'd honorable to take the job." Vegeta flew at Chichi, who didn't have time to react, and kicked her stomach. Chichi crashed through the wall of the room and fell face first. King Vegeta quickly turned around to give his son a piece of his mind but he wasn't there.

"Chichi!" Bulma screamed. She left the room to get some air and she opened the doors to see her friend smash through the wall from her soon-to-be mate! Before she could yell at Vegeta, he ran out the hole.

Kakarot stopped in mid-step to see Chichi fly through the wall. This wasn't good. Chichi vs. Vegeta. There was no way Chichi could beat Vegeta in a fight. Everyone, including Kakarot, King Vegeta, and Bulma, ran out the hole to see Vegeta standing there with his fists clenched.

Vegeta stood a few feet away from the slightly injured saiyan. He looked to the crowd and pointed his finger at his father and Kakarot. "If you dare intervene or you'll face the wrath of a Prince." He turned back to Chichi with narrowing eyes.

Chichi lay face down on the earth. She clutched her stomach in pain and shut her eyes. His blow hurt so much! Was he going all the way just because his father didn't start? Chichi groaned at the idea of fighting Vegeta instead of his father. Vegeta looked more like a rough, blood sheding fighter than Kakarot or King Vegeta. She jumped to her feet and got into stance, Vegeta following.

"Why are you doing this, Vegeta?" Chichi asked, nervously.

"Kakarot nor anyone hasn't fought with me since. This could be very interesting, wench." Vegeta smirked and chuckled. Chichi's eye twitched. Did he just call her wench AGAIN! Oh no he didn't, he wasn't going to get away with that one! Her nervousness faded and a spark ignited.

"Wench?! How dare you call me a-"

"Wench? Heh..Very very interesting indeed, right wench?" Vegeta mocked. Chichi exploded with anger, screaming. She launched her fist, which Vegeta caught with ease.

"You'll regret EVER saying that!" Chichi yanked her hand back and gave him the most deadliest glare. Vegeta didn't flinch but smirked in amusement. If he teased her more, he would have a better chance at earning an excellent battle. Chichi powered up to a Super Saiyan, Vegeta following her lead.

Chichi crouched and prepared to sprint. Vegeta smirked, ready to attack. Instead, Chichi flew straight forward and disappeared right through Vegeta. Vegeta's smirk fell and looked up to the sky. He spotted her glaring down at his form.

"No one plays with the Prince and gets away with it." Vegeta growled and flew up. Chichi kicked him but he played the same trick on her, disappearing right through. Chichi frowned and look over her shoulder, glaring at his disappearing form.

"Ahh!" Vegeta screamed and flew at Chichi, who flew back dodging all his kicks and punches. Chichi moved in every direction as Vegeta tried to land a punch. Chichi then moved back quickly, a scowl plastered on her, which made Vegeta growl in irritation.

"Stop mocking me!" Vegeta lifted his left leg and swung it at Chichi's head. Chichi reacted quickly putting her right forearm beside her head. The kick slightly hit her head but she didn't grunt or yelp. Chichi growled and launched her fist at his head, which he dodged in time. She tried to kick his head but he bent over and dodged it.

Their fists met each other, sending off small waves of vibration. Chichi flew back which annoyed Vegeta further. Vegeta formed a yellow ki ball and shot it toward Chichi. Chichi deflected the blast, cutting it in two. Vegeta threw a fist but Chichi dodged and flew down to the ground, Vegeta following. Vegeta didn't stop but aimed at her stomach. Before Chichi could touch the ground, she disappeared in thin air making Vegeta miss. Vegeta vanished and appeared in the sky, 2 metres away from Chichi. Both glaring at each other, neither breaking contact. Suddenly they flew at each other meeting fists against fists.

The ground beneath everyone cracked and rumbled against the harsh, intense power radiating off the two angered saiyans. Everyone had to stand their ground other wise they would fly back.

Bulma and Kakarot watched on intently as Chichi fought for her rank and pride. Kakarot was the most worried one out of Bulma. He hoped Vegeta didn't go too far with her. If it did happen, he would have to intervene and defeat Vegeta himself. A sudden crash brought him out of his thoughts. Kakarot looked up to the sky to see Vegeta bent over, his hands balled up into one huge fist. Kakarot worriedly looked to the crater trying to get a better view.

Chichi groaned as she climbed out the crater. Vegeta slammed his fists into her back very hard that she thought she was going to be paralyzed. Chichi somersaulted backwards just as Vegeta's fist rammed into the earth below. Chichi stumbled but caught herself. She looked to Vegeta as her tail waved in amusement. Chichi smirked and crossed her arms.

"Looks like were evenly matched, Vegeta. But will you keep it with my full power." Chichi uncrossed her arms and dropped them by her sides. Vegeta growled in disbeilef at her words.

"You're nothing but a pathetic low class. This battle has been a waste of my time." Vegeta boasted himself as his scowl deepened.

"Low class? Your just like Kakarot the day him and I fought." Kakarot flinched at her words. Chichi's smirk faded and replaced with a scowl. "You really want to see what I'm capable of? I've sent Kakarot to the medical wing with this power. Once I power up, you'll regret ever saying I'm a low class and calling me a wench."

Vegeta snorted and clenched his fists. "Your power will never overpower mines." Vegeta sneered.

"Suit yourself." Chichi clenched her fists as her golden aura mixtured with a white aura. The wind picked up speed, creating an immense force around her body. Chichi released an ear piercing scream as her energy climbed to new heights. With a flex of her muscles, the white aura disappeared leaving the new improved golden aura surrounding her. Chichi didn't look different but her energy skyrocketed, leaving many saiyans to gap at her new energy.

Chichi crouched into a stance and glared at the Saiyan Prince. "Ready my Prince?" She sarcastically announced.

Vegeta stood their speechless, not reacting to her words until his mind clicked. Vegeta growled at her power level. 'How could Kakarot's mate consume more energy than Kakarot and myself?' He angrily thought. He took stance and bared his canines against his lips, visibly showing. "Why wouldn't I." He spat.

Chichi frowned at his words and lifted her fists near her face. "GO!" Both saiyans met each other in a series of punches. The fight seemed as if it took many hours but only a few hours. They landed on the ground, both battered and bleeding. Before Vegeta and Chichi could ram each other, clapping interrupted their intense battle. Forcing their eyes away from each other, they glared at the person who dared to interrupt.

"Bravo, bravo." King Vegeta clapped, smirking. "Well, done Kakarot's mate." Everything was silent as if no life existed. King Vegeta walked up to Chichi, ignoring Vegeta who glared at his back.

Chichi couldn't stop glaring. She was so caught up with the battle she couldn't control her anger. Once King Vegeta placed a hand on her shoulder, she instinctly flipped him over. The King landed with an audible thud as everyone gasped. She could possibly be hanged or killed right on the spot for doing such a thing. Everyone held their breath as King Vegeta slowly regained his composure.

King Vegeta glared at Chichi who glared back. A smirk slowly formed on his lips as Chichi held her ground. Kakarot's mate didn't show one bit of fear only determination and fiery. She was bold and overpowered his son. Surprising him further was that she defeated his son's body guard and sent him to the rejuvenation tank. She was more than welcome to become Vegeta-sai's Princess's body guard. King Vegeta turned his back and faced the crowd.

"Victory to the Princess's new body guard!" King Vegeta bellowed. Everyone cheered and bowed to their King.

Chichi finally snapped out of her trance as Bulma wrapped her arms around her petite frame. Chichi looked around and saw that everyone was smiling at her. "What happened? Did I lose?" Chichi asked. Bulma pulled away and smiled at her friend.

"You're my new body guard, Chi!" Bulma cheered happily. Chichi smiled and hugged Bulma tightly.

"I'm glad I'm your body guard, B. We can be with each other 24/7." Chichi said as they pulled away. Bulma agreed with her and turned around to face Vegeta. Bulma squealed and dashed behind her new body guard.

"I'll get you next time, wench." Vegeta growled. Chichi put her hands on her hips.

"Oh really? How will you if I'm stronger? Wait a minute." Chichi brought her finger to her lips in a thoughtful way before smirking. "I wouldn't want to waste my time on a low class." Chichi teased, mimicking his voice.

Vegeta flushed with anger and embarrassment. He stormed into the palace, knocking down anyone who was in his path. Chichi and Bulma laughed on the spot until someone cleared their throat. They both looked up to see Kakarot standing there. Bulma backed up and whispered something in Chichi's ear before walking off, giggling. A blush spread across her cheek bones.

"Shut up!" Chichi yelled, waving her fist in the air. She grumbled and looking at Kakarot. She gave him a small smile and turned her face away not wanted him to see her blush. Kakarot walked up to her and hugged her. A gasp escaped her lips as he hugged her tighter.

"I'm happy your okay." He whispered in her ear. Chichi shivered in a comfortable way before hesitantly wrapping her arms around him. Kakarot smiled in the crook of her neck as he felt her shiver. He was happy she was reacting this way to him. He pulled back and smiled at her.

"Now let's get you to the rejuvenation tank." Chichi nodded and powered down to a regular saiyan. The gravity of the planet pulled on her battered body which made it harder to stand. Before she could hit the ground, Kakarot caught her. Chichi yelped and almost screamed in pain as he positioned her in more comfortable way. Kakarot didn't want to hurt her but she needed treatment right away.

"Are you okay?" He asked worriedly. Chichi bit her bottom lip and nodded.

"Yeah..for now." Chichi answered. Kakarot turned to King Vegeta.

"Sire, I wish to take my mate to the rejuvenation tank." Kakarot said. King Vegeta nodded and patted his shoulder.

"You have chosen a powerful mate, Kakarot. Yes, you may take her to the medical wing." King Vegeta smirked and walked into the palace.

Kakarot looked down at Chichi and smiled. She would be at his side 24/7 and he'll have nothing to worry about. But that is until a war or battle broke out. He frowned at the thought of Chichi fighting in a real battle. She could possibly get hurt or- Kakarot shook his head. She couldn't and wouldn't do such a thing. Kakarot walked down the halls and entered the medical wing. He placed her in the tank and placed his hand on the glass before leaving.

"I'll be back later, Chi." He whispered as closed the door.

Yes! Finally finished chapter 10! Chichi has been honored to be Bulma's body guard. How will this play out for the umcoming events? How will Chichi co-op with being Bulma's body guard? How will this affect Kakarot and Chichi? What about Gogeta? Turles? Well, you'll have to wait until then. Leave a review and thank you for reading! Bye! :D
