Chapter 29

Trunks had a scowl on his face all long night. When they got home, Vegeta got called back to the council, so he left their argument - er, discussion unfinished yet again.

"Trunks, Gogeta said you're being scary again," Kakarot chuckled softly, as he leaned forward a little onto the table.

Trunks took a bite of one of the ribs. "Father broke his promise once again. He wasn't supposed to interrupt!"

"He didn't," Kakarot raised an eyebrow. "That, uh, Saiyan saved your life, didn't he?"
"I could have handled him," Trunks shrugged his shoulders. "I... in the front of everyone in this town..."

"I know you were embarrassed," Kakarot crossed his arms with a calm sigh. "You didn't want Vegeta to save you... but you didn't mind the stranger saving you?"

Bingo. Trunks blushed at Kakarot's question. Dammit! Papa could be naive sometimes, but when it came to serious situations, he knew how to say the right words.

The Saiyan Prince just shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, Papa... Everything... I mean..." He paused briefly before continuing, "Look, I know that Father wants me to take over his place after his time is up. After all, that's the oldest Saiyan Prince was supposed to do..."

"But...?" Kakarot knew that there would be a but. After all, this was his first child, so of course, he figured it out easily.

"I don't know if I really want to be the next Saiyan King. I mean, why can't Gogeta become one? He's a dominant Saiyan, isn't he?" Trunks started playing with his peas.

"That's true... if it were 30 years ago, then it would definitely be Gogeta... but..." Kakarot smiled at him. "The law already changed. This time, it was the first-born Saiyan, even if it were female, submissive, or dominant. Your father wants every Saiyan to understand that they have the equal right as the others."

"Just for the sake of our people, I have to be the next Saiyan King?!" Trunks got up from the table fast. His papa could clearly see the upset in his son's blue eyes. "What about me?! I want to create my own destiny!"

Kakarot did not say anything more for a short while. In fact, his first child reminded him of when he and Vegeta were arranged to be mated. That was back then when they did not want to be mated (even though they fell in love with each other eventually) just because of their fathers' decisions. This arranged mating was removed from the law due to the fact that there was so much pressure on their shoulders when they were younger.

"Even so... what if Gogeta doesn't want to be one when he is older either? Then what? Who is supposed to take over the throne?" Kakarot asked softly, as if he did not want to anger Trunks any further.

Trunks frowned at the question. He was about to open his mouth when Bulma, Krillin, and Yamcha barged into the dining room.

"You gotta see this! An Outsider named Gohan came to see Vegeta-sama! He is pissing him off!" Krillin exclaimed.

"What?!" Trunks yelled. This was the reason why Vegeta was 'called to the council meeting'?!

"I had no clue that an Outsider like him would be a hottie!" Bulma sighed dreamily.

Ignoring her comment, Kakarot and Trunks quickly took off for the throne room just in time for the greetings.

"Gohan, why did you come here?" Vegeta asked. "I had to leave the council meeting for this? Answer immediately."

"I'm asking you to give me a second chance," Gohan smiled lightly at the Saiyan King. "I know that our greeting did not go well back at the tournament..."

"As seeing you on the top of my son, I'm not quite certain about your second chance," Vegeta narrowed his eyes in anger.

"I apologize about that, sir," Gohan bowed his head low enough to be at his waist. "I tried to get him out of the harm's way."

"That's correct - you saved him. So, why?" Vegeta asked.

"Because I wouldn't want any Vegeta royal family to get hurt."

Vegeta got up from his throne fast. "Get hurt? For kami's fucking sake, you are an Outsider! It's shameful that you, as the Outsider, saved him!"

"That's correct. He saved our son's life," Kakarot decided to step in the conversation. "Why don't you just give him another chance?"

"No!" Vegeta said immediately. "He was banished with the other Outsiders!"

"As I said before, we left the Outsiders. We are the rogues. Judge me now, for what I am... or am I to be blamed for a crime I didn't commit?"

Vegeta was already powering up for an energy ball on his palm when Kakarot put his shoulder on his mate's shoulder, stopping him.

"Vegeta, you owe him our son's life," Kakarot said softly.

"Vegeta-sama, please give me a second chance. If you wish to, you can have someone monitor us for one month. If we do something that you do not like, then we will leave right away," Gohan said.

The Saiyan King gave Gohan a hateful glare. He glanced at Trunks briefly before turning back to the former Outsider. "Fine. My father's law will prevail. For now, I reserve judgment. Break our law within one month and you are to leave the kingdom immediately."

Gohan grinned widely. "Thank you so much, sir!"

"One more thing," Vegeta sat down on his throne. "Since Trunks requested that you are to be his trainer, I appoint you to be so."

Trunks had the biggest smile on his handsome face. Finally! It was about damn time for someone to train him! Sure, he was much more powerful than most of Saiyans, but he just sucked at techniques though! His parents were way too busy to train him.

The Saiyan Prince's tail was whipping in the air excitedly.

"Don't fucking screw up," Vegeta said calmly, yet dangerously. "The training starts at dawn. Trunks will be expecting you to be at the entrance. You are dismissed, Outsider."

"Yes, my King," Gohan bowed his head shortly before leaving the throne room.

~WE ARE ONE~

"You were amazing back there," Trunks said after he found Gohan just at the gate entrance of the Vegeta Palace. It was already dark outside. "Nobody ever stood up to my father before."

"Really?" Gohan scratched the back of his head nervously. "He was quite a guy! I thought he would kill me for sure!"

Trunks laughed lightly. He had never laughed like this before. It was the first time that he really felt... normal. "Thanks for saving me today."

Gohan raised an eyebrow. "What kind of warrior are you anyway, Prince? Even my brother is stronger than you, and he is a submissive Saiyan!"

"Submissive?" Trunks frowned. "Hey, that wasn't nice!"

"Why should I be kind to you all the times, Prince? You wouldn't last three days if you were to be the Saiyan King. He was supposed to be the most powerful Saiyan on this planet."

Trunks felt provoked at first but he realized that Gohan was being sarcastic. So he decided to play along, "And... I suppose you could train me?"

Gohan smiled playfully at him. "Of course yes."

"Okay, then," Trunks smiled back. "See you tomorrow."

As soon as Trunks got back into the castle, Gohan turned to walk on his way home. He chuckled darkly at himself, "Oh, I look forward to it."

~WE ARE ONE~

"Well?" Goten asked impatiently.

"I was appointed to be Trunks's trainer," Gohan smirked proudly. "This is our chance to strike down the King!"

"I see the problem... What if the King is way too busy? Then, you won't be able to get close to him! You had a few chances! First tournament, and now his own castle! What the fuck are you waiting for?!" Ketsu started off with normal tone and then ended with yelling.

"Patience, Ketsu," Gohan took off his shirt. "It won't happen overnight. We need to gain the King's trust first. But first, it's the Prince who will open the path for us. He is the King's dear first child, so he will be able to convince him."

"Tch!" Ketsu turned away from Gohan with a deep scowl on his face. "If I were you, I would be careful. You never know when you turn your back on us."

"We won't betray the Outsiders," Goten frowns at Ketsu. "Besides, isn't that why you joined us in the first place? Either way, we won't flee."

"Keep it down. There may be the royal patrols around us. For now... Allow me to take care of our dear Prince," Gohan gives them a dark grin.
