Chapter 25

SIMBA:
As you go through life you'll see
There is so much that we don't understand
And the only thing we know
Is things don't always go
The way we planned

But you'll see every day
That we'll never turn away
When it seems all your dreams come undone

We will stand by your side
Filled with hope and filled with pride
We are more than we are
We are one

KIARA:
If there's so much I must be
Can I still just be me
The way I am?

Can I trust in my own heart
Or am I just one part
Of some big plan?

SIMBA:
Even those who are gone
Are with us as we go on
Your journey has only begun

Tears of pain, tears of joy
One thing nothing can destroy
Is our pride, deep inside
We are one

We are one, you and I
We are like the earth and sky
One family under the sun

All the wisdom to lead
All the courage that you need
You will find when you see
We are one

Trunks had been in his bedroom since he got back home with his family, friends, and guards. He was so angry for some reason. Why couldn't he do anything he wanted to? Why couldn't his father just... understand how he felt?

"Trunks?" Kakarot opened the door a little, as if he was trying not to anger his only one child. "Your father wants to talk to you..."

"Why should I? He will only tell me to be careful, to stay away from the Outsiders, blah, blah..."

Kakarot giggled. He walked over to sit on the bed with Trunks. "You are his son. The only one heir to the throne. He had been through so much when he was your age, so you can't really blame him for worrying."

Trunks still pouted, which was so cute to Kakarot.

"He loves you. He may not show it, but he does love you," Kakarot patted on Trunks's head. "He doesn't want to lose you. He even wanted to rip apart his own kingdom just to find you."

The lavender-haired Saiyan child sighed lightly. He knew that his papa was right, but he did not want to admit it.

"So, please talk to your father. That's what he wishes to," Kakarot kissed Trunks's forehead.

"Okay."

~WE ARE ONE~

"Trunks, what did you think you were doing? You could have been killed today! By the fucking Outsiders!" Vegeta yelled. "What did I tell you about staying near the palace?"

"But Father, I... I didn't mean to disobey..." Trunks looked down at the floor, as he started playing with his fingers. "I'm sorry."

"If something happened to you, I don't know what I would do. You're my only son. You need to be careful because you will be the next Saiyan King when my time is up –"

"But what if I don't want to be King?" Trunks interrupted his father. "It's boring! Trying to please Saiyans isn't my idea of fun!"

Vegeta sighed lightly at him. Kami, he wished Kakarot was here with him. His mate almost always knew what right words to say. He was going to give it a try anyway. "That's like saying you don't want to be a Saiyan. It's in your blood… We are part of each other."

Trunks was trying to scowl but ended up pouting angrily instead, as he crossed his arms.

Vegeta smirked at him. He knew that his son was definitely a Saiyan. Trunks was a wild, young, and powerful Saiyan just like Vegeta used to be. But that was the exact problem because Vegeta's carelessness led to the deaths of his father and friends. "You know what, brat? Come outside with me. This time, I'll be with you. No more interruptions."

"Really?" Trunks asked almost excitedly.

"Yes," Vegeta got up from his throne. "I'm quite sure that you had already seen everything in the kingdom, but you will need more information than just sight."

As soon as they got out of the palace, Vegeta quickly took off into the red sky. It was pretty unexpected, but Trunks followed after him easily.

"You will notice that there is so much that we don't understand, but the only thing we know is that things don't always go the way we plan..." Vegeta paused when he stopped flying and was just hovering in the air with his son above the Saiyans, who were getting ready to close down their shops and to go home to their families.

Trunks glanced at the Saiyan children in the different area, who were learning how to fly with their father. One of the children started flying up a few feet above the ground and yelled excitedly, "I can fly, daddy!"

The child wanted to fly further, but his father stopped him right away and brought him back to their home. This made Trunks frown.

"Look! It's the King and Prince together! It's quite rare to see them together!" One of the Saiyans exclaimed, as they waved their hands happily at the royals.

"You are the most important Saiyan in our people's lives. You are the Saiyan Prince, but everybody knows you are more than just being Saiyan Prince. It's our pride. Each individual may be a little different than others, but we are more than we are because we are one," Vegeta continued.

Still, Trunks could not understand what his father was trying to tell him. He knew that he was the Saiyan Prince, but why couldn't he just be a kid like the Saiyan children? After all, they were supposed to be 'one,' right? Still, it did not feel quite right. Why did he have to be the one… the way everybody expected him to be? "Can't I just be myself? If they expect me to be the way they want, then how are they supposed to know the real me? Or am I supposed to follow the same way they do?"

Vegeta sighed at his son's intelligent response. Just like Kakarot and his damn surprising responses to the complicated life questions. He thought about the answer for a short while. He patted on the child's back and answered, "Your journey has only begun – of course; you haven't begun to understand about yourself or the purpose of being a Saiyan yet. As you are growing up, there will be a lot of tears of pain and joy… There will always be bumps in your life but, there's nothing that will ever destroy our pride."

The Saiyan King glanced at the Vegeta Palace and continued, "Many former Saiyan Kings in the past may not be here anymore, but they are always with us no matter where they are in order to guide us into the right direction. You will find the answer along with the wisdom and courage of the past Saiyan Kings."

"But... still..." Trunks looked down at the beautiful city. He had to wait until he heard from the great Saiyan Kings? How was he supposed to know who he was exactly?

"As long as you live here, it's who you are," Vegeta sighed lightly, as he patted on his only one son's head. "I know it's frustrating that you do not know the correct answer. You'll understand someday."

Trunks nodded his head with a small frown on his face. He was a little confused at this moment. His father talked about it many times, but Trunks never really understood. The purpose of being Saiyan King... was it related to as who he was? Trunks knew that he was the Saiyan Prince, who everyone in the Vegeta Kingdom really admired, but this was not always the case. He had his own self... yet... He was not sure of himself. Was he supposed to behave this way? Or the other way? Or that way?

~WE ARE ONE~

"Okay, Kakarot. It's obvious that something's bothering you," Vegeta sighed lightly. His mate had been turning over uncomfortably in their bed. "Is it about Raditz?"

"Can we talk about it tomorrow?" Kakarot almost mumbled.

"No. I know you won't be able to sleep. Talk now," Vegeta sat up and turned on their lamp.

"I…" Kakarot said softly. He still would not turn over and look into his King's dark eyes. "I… I just don't understand my brother anymore. I mean… I know that his opinion is different, but did he really have to go this far?"

Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "What exactly do you mean?"

"He was completely loyal to your father right before he joined Fre… Frieza's squad team. My father said that he had no idea why Raditz changed."

"You know Frieza. Raditz is not the only one who got fooled. Frieza manipulated every single Saiyan on this planet… including me," Vegeta moved over and cuddled up against Kakarot's back. "Frieza told me that you were dead, so I wouldn't have anybody to live for. He told you that I was dead, but you managed to live… and to protect our people. That's why I love you."

"Still, I'm worried about our future," Kakarot finally turned over so he was facing Vegeta. "Even Trunks is aware of what's going on. He knows that the Outsiders were banished… yet, he was nice to one of them. That was a child that has the ability to turn Super Saiyan. Why did you let that child fall into Raditz's hands?"

"Kakarot. Outsiders are not our problem anymore," Vegeta was caressing Kakarot's face cheek. "The bodyguards will take care of them. As long as they do not step into the kingdom, they won't be harmed. You are just worried about a petty thing."

"Petty?!" Kakarot yelled, as he got up from the bed. "This is huge! Those Outsiders are angry at us. They could have hurt Trunks if they wanted to! Even I know Raditz wouldn't hesitate to attack Trunks when he had a chance! Trunks could have died right there!"

Well, here we go again. Vegeta was rubbing his throbbing forehead. "Look, Kakarot. Trunks is fine, and he can take care of himself. After all, he is a Super Saiyan, isn't he? When we were his age, we had to grow up. Besides, you were the one who complained about how much he hadn't been sightseeing the kingdom enough."

"You let him go. You had to let your work interrupt your time with your son. I never said that you could allow him to go off on his own!"

Vegeta raised an eyebrow in amusement. "And, you said I was overprotective. Look, this argument is pointless. Trunks is fine, and he is back in our castle. He has two bodyguards with him… Wait, Kakarot! I'm sorry!"

Kakarot took his pillow with him and put on his robe. He was about to kick the doors open when Vegeta stopped him. "God, you're so insensitive! Now, you apologize?"

Now, this wasn't a usual argument. Vegeta just realized that Kakarot was overemotional at this moment. It was just like all of the times when his mate was pregnant. Was that it? "Yes, Kakarot. I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything I said that hurt your feelings. Can you please come back to the bed? I miss you already."

Kakarot gave him a disapproval look.

"Look, Kakarot. There is nothing we can do right now. Outsiders are out of our kingdom. If they want to attack us, that's fine because then we will fight back like usual. They are powerless against us anyway. The point is that we are safe. Trunks is also safe. It's all in the past, so we don't have to worry about them anymore."

"Vegeta…" Kakarot said softly. He did not know what else to say, so he decided to make his way back to the warm bed with his mate.

Vegeta half-smiled at his precious mate. It was so cute of Kakarot to lose his temper, as it was pretty rare, but it was never Vegeta's intention to hurt his mate's feelings.

"I love you, Kakarot," Vegeta said lovingly, as he kissed Kakarot's forehead at first, and then nose, then face cheek…

Their lips met briefly before they opened in order to explore each other's hot months. Almost immediately, their bodies began rubbing each other's and their tails were stroking each other.

"Oh!" Kakarot almost yelped, startled at Vegeta's sudden touch on his manhood. He did not even notice that his King's hand got in his boxers. "Geta… I…" Kakarot could not even think anymore, yet his hips were rocking desperately.

Vegeta was nibbling and sucking Kakarot's neck, leaving behind obvious pink spots. When he got to the place where he wanted to be, he licked the bite wound, making Kakarot purring lightly.

"Kakarot?" Vegeta got on the top of his beautiful mate. His hand did not leave Kakarot's penis yet and was still stroking it slowly. "It's been so long time since last time we made love."

Kakarot smiled at him, as he wrapped his arms around his King's shoulders. "Didn't we do this two days ago? Horny bastard."

"Well, it's pretty long for me!" Vegeta returned the playful smirk.

"Are you saying that we should make love every single day?"

"Why not?" Vegeta squeezed a little harder, making his mate moan loudly. "I know you want this too. You want to be fucked so hard that you won't be able to walk in the morning."

Growling like a proud lion, Kakarot turned Vegeta over suddenly and started attacking the King's naked chest with lots of nibbles, licks, and kisses. He tried to take it slow, but he was impatient. He pulled down his king's boxers, taking in the sight of the proud manhood.

Purring lightly, Kakarot licked the tip of his mate's penis. He received a light growl from Vegeta. He chuckled softly before he took the whole of it in his hot month.

Never in millions of years that Vegeta would ever think of anbody else who was hotter than Kakarot sucking him. Pink blush on Kakarot's face cheeks made it even better.

That's it. Vegeta grabbed Kakarot and turned over once again. He quickly took off Kakarot's boxers, nearly ripping it off. As he was kissing him, his hands were all over his mate's body, trying to memorize every piece of his skin. Eventually, one of his hands went lower and lower until he slipped two of his fingers in.

Kakarot moaned, as his body arched against Vegeta's when he felt his sensitive prostrate being prodded. "Vegeta..." He said hotly against his king's mouth. "I love you."

"I love you too," Vegeta said as he slipped his erection into Kakarot's wet and hot hole.

"Oh!" Kakarot moaned at the familiar feeling of being filled. He spread his legs a little wider to allow Vegeta to thrust smoothier and easier.

The only sounds in their master bedroom consisted of their moans and chants of each other's names.

Kakarot wrapped his legs around Vegeta's stomach and kept rocking his hips against Vegeta's. His sweet spot being hit over and over again.

"Vegeta... geta... Ah!" Kakarot arched his body when Vegeta started stroking his erection. That was more than enough to make him come over their bodies.

"Kakarot!" Vegeta shouted just as he came inside his mate. He was this close to collapse, but still had a little bit of energy left to pull out and turn over lying next to his mate.

"I think I'm pregnant," Kakarot said suddenly and sleepily.

"Hmm..." Vegeta tiredly wrapped his arms around Kakarot's waist. Slowly, he began to realize what his mate just said. He sat up faster than you could say 'Lion King.' "WHAT?! How long have you been pregnant?!"

"Doctor said seven weeks, I think. Please let me sleep," Kakarot yawned, his eyes already closing.
