Pairing: Goku/Kagome/Vegeta

Rated: M (dark themes, language)


"You're... PREGNANT?"

Kagome glanced towards the ground, unable to meet anyone's eyes, especially that of Goku's. Her hand clenched around her stomach and she stayed silent as Krillin looked back and forth between her and Goku with a bewildered expression.

"Pregnant?" Krillin gasped, "T-then, that means... you and... you – did... that in the Room of Spirit and Time?" His face flushed slightly at the thought and he shivered when he heard a low growl coming from the direction that Vegeta was standing in.

Goku scratched his cheek while looking a bit embarrassed, "Yeah," He said quietly, "We did do... that. It just kinda... happened?" He shrugged, though he quickly glanced back at Kagome with concern quite obviously plastered all over his face, "Are you really pregnant? I thought you were out of heat when... well, you know. Isn't still too early to tell?"

"I was finished with my heat cycle," Kagome muttered, finally glancing up at Goku with her blue eyes, "But you were in your Super Saiyan form when we mated, so that might have been enough to stimulate me into ovulating, even though my cycle had ended," She sighed, a bit afraid to find what Goku would really think of her now that she was carrying his second child, "And we were in that room where time goes much faster, remember? I'm probably already five weeks along."

"So, you're... really going to have a baby?" Goku looked completely astounded as he blinked rapidly to try and process the rather surprising and shocking information, "My baby?"

Krillin gaped unattractively at the two, feeling rather uncomfortable in the awkward silence that ensued, "Well, old buddy," He patted Goku's arm roughly, trying to lighten up the mood, "It looks like you're going to be a Daddy again!" He laughed weakly, tensing when a vicious growl released from Vegeta.

"You actually fucked with the Clown?" Vegeta stepped forward, glaring harshly at Kagome, "And yet you have refused me – your Prince?" Electrified energy was sparking off his body in waves of rage and anger.

Kagome frowned darkly as she curled her lip, "My loyalty to you is over," She declared, "You no longer have any hold over me anymore."

It was Goku who caught Vegeta's hand before he could strike Kagome with his clenched fist, "Vegeta!" He snarled angrily, "What are you doing?" Goku growled, standing protectively in front of Kagome as she tried to recover from the abrupt attack from Vegeta.

"You're pathetic," Vegeta snapped, glaring viciously at Kagome, "The both of you!" He wretched his arm free of Goku's hold and took off without another word.

"Well, guess he doesn't approve," Krillin sighed, giving an encouraging grin towards the two Saiyans, "I have to admit that it's all pretty sudden, but you two make a cute couple!" He snickered, though he felt a little sorry for Chichi.

Goku rubbed his nose sheepishly, though he turned back to Kagome when she stayed utterly silent, "Kagome?" He asked with worry, "Are you okay?" He stroked her shoulder in a soothing manner.

"I'm fine," She breathed out heavily, "But if we have to fight Magatsuhi in ten days, then I don't think I can," She admitted, patting her stomach, "I don't want to put the baby in harm's way."

"You might not have to," Krillin suddenly spoke up, grinning widely, "You're already five weeks along because you were in the Room of Spirit and Time, right? But it has only been a day for us, so if you go in the room again – then you can just wait out the pregnancy in there, can't you?"

"That's a great idea!" Goku looked rather excited as he turned to Kagome to see her reaction, "And since Gohan still needs to go in there, you can go in there and teach him!"

Kagome looked a little reluctant, "You're sure?" She asked quietly, "You don't want to go in there with Gohan yourself?"

"Nah, I'm good!" Goku waved it off casually, "Besides, you're a lot stronger than me mentally. I don't think I can handle another year in there." He shuddered.

"Won't this news be surprising to everyone?" Krillin muttered under his breath, glancing upwards when Goku put a hand on his shoulder, "About the baby and Magatsuhi."

"We're going to use Instant Transmission." Goku explained, placing his fingers on his forehead and focusing on Gohan's Ki as Kagome did the same

As Krillin cried out in surprise from the unexpected and rapid movement of Instant Transmission, the three warriors disappeared from their previous spot.

~00~

"You're back, Dad!" Gohan said in relief, smiling widely at the sight of the two Saiyans and Krillin, "And you're not hurt!" His smile immediately dimmed when he noticed the grim expressions on their faces.

"Trunks? What about Trunks?" Bulma desperately tugged on Goku's arm, "Is he okay?" She sniffled when Goku stayed silent while glaring down at the floor.

"I know everything," Piccolo said calmly as he stepped up to Goku, "About Trunks, Magatsuhi, the Tournament, and even the child," The Namekian narrowed his eyes, "What do you plan on doing, Goku?"

"Well," Goku said just as calmly, "I plan on sending Gohan and Kagome into the Room of Spirit and Time for a day. Whether you or Vegeta want to go into the room is completely up to you. We have ten days until the Tournament."

"What?" Gohan blinked, looking a bit depressed, "But, that means Trunks really is dead?" He sighed when Goku nodded grimly.

"Tournament?" Bulma asked, sounding pretty frustrated, "What do you mean, 'Tournament'?" She growled impressively for a human, "Somebody tell me what's going on!"

"Piccolo, do you mind?" Goku asked quietly as the Namekian nodded and sighed, "I need to talk to Gohan and Kagome." He gestured for the two to follow him, which they did so quickly.

"Gohan," Goku started warmly, leaning down to his son's height and putting his hands on his shoulders, "When you go into the Room of Spirit and Time, I want you to aim for one thing and one thing only," He smirked, "Become a Super Saiyan, no matter what it takes."

The warrior stood back up to his regular height, turning to Kagome and lowering his voice so no one else would hear him, "Kagome, I know you'll take good care of Gohan, but don't push yourself too hard, okay?" She tensed when he put a hand over her stomach, stroking it affectionately, "It was a surprise to me, but I want this baby."

Kagome glanced up, unsure what to say because of the lump forming in her throat, "Stay in the room until you're sure that you are going to have the baby. I'm pretty sure neither you or Gohan knows how to deliver one." His grin became a bit goofy and Kagome could only roll her eyes fondly.

"Thanks, Kakarott," She muttered, feeling her face flush hotly when Goku flashed her a warm grin, "I promise that I will help Gohan achieve Super Saiyan status." She said with determination, her lips upturning into a smirk.

"I know you will," Goku nodded, leading Kagome and Gohan to the door to the Room of Spirit and Time, "Go in and become strong, Gohan." He encouraged as Mister Popo opened the door and gestured for them to step in.

"I will, Dad!" Gohan said determinedly, rushing in ahead of Kagome as she leisurely walked in, though gave one last look back to Goku.

Goku smirked, calling out before Gohan couldn't hear him anymore, "Gohan, take care of Kagome and your little brother!"

His smirk didn't waver as Gohan stopped in shock and looked back just before the door to the room closed behind him...

~00~

'I see that Kagome has finally went into the hell room,' Magatsuhi thought with a smirk, looking down at the large building with cruel eyes, 'A broadcasting station. I suppose I can use that to get across the rest of the details for my Tournament to those fools.'

He flew down, not bothering to stop as he simply smashed through the walls and enjoyed the horrified screams of the building's employees. He stopped, glancing down at two shivering women, "On which floor are you airing the programs that are being broadcast all over the Earth?"

"O-on the top floor, s-studio B..." A blonde woman answered hesitantly, shaking violently as she hugged her fellow employee in complete terror.

Magatsuhi grinned darkly, revealing sharp fangs as he gave a mocking wave of thanks. He slammed through the floor, ready to tell the world of his evil plans.

~00~

At Capsule Corporation, Muten Roshi practically drooled as he watched his favourite program of woman in skimpy leotards exercise while certain parts bounced enticingly. He was so into the show that he didn't even hear Bulma's screeching voice behind him.

"What?" Bulma shrieked, looking horrified as she stared at Piccolo, "You're saying my Trunks is possessed by some... some demon?"

Piccolo closed his eyes, trying to ward off the on-coming headache that Bulma's high-pitched voice was starting to cause. He opened his mouth and was about to say something when Roshi made a loud noise of annoyance, causing them both to glance over to him.

They all widened their eyes, seeing Magatsuhi on the TV, "Good morning, humans of the world," He grinned, "Now, for a moment, I have decided to invade your program for a moment to give you some important details. I have news that will excite your petty little lives – my name is Magatsuhi. Most of you must be aware of those who mysteriously disappeared in Gingertown and other such cities."

Krillin grit his teeth, "He's already announcing the Tournament to everyone!"

"The monster responsible for that is Cell – however, I have absorbed Cell into my body. I don't expect you pathetic humans to understand what I am telling you, but I will tell you that I am holding a Martial Arts Tournament, which I will call the 'Cell Games' in honour of him," Anyone could tell that Magatsuhi's voice was dripping with sarcasm, "The location will be due northwest of the metropolis, at 28-KS-5. I have prepared the arena there."

Up at Kami's lookout, Goku stared expectantly at Piccolo as the Namekian listened in closely, "What's he saying?" He asked quietly, though Piccolo merely stayed silent.

"Anybody and everybody can enter. An unlimited amount of fighters are allowed to challenge me. In fact, the more that enter will give you an advantage. The rules will be the same as in the Tenkaichi Tournament. If all the challengers lose or are killed by me, then I will slaughter every single living thing in the world. I will not spare anyone and I will enjoy the terror on your faces when I rip each and every one of a part."

"He's a monster! Even worse than Cell!" Krillin gasped, looking rather disturbed by Magatsuhi's face. He glanced over to his side, seeing that Bulma was as pale as a ghost and that her eyes were as wide as they could possibly be, 'I don't blame her – seeing Trunks like that...' Krillin thought grimly.

The broadcast ended with Magatsuhi completely destroying the building just to create fear and panic.

"H-how are we going to beat a guy like that?" Yamcha asked, "Both Vegeta and Trunks were nothing compared to him! And Goku–!"

At Kami's lookout, Goku paced impatiently as Piccolo glared at the ground while they waited for Gohan and Kagome to come out of the room – though that was still many hours away.

The orange-clad warrior glanced up, sensing a very familiar energy, "Vegeta." He greeted neutrally, watching as the other Saiyan landed in front of him. He wasn't acting his usual friendly self because he remembered that Vegeta had tried to strike Kagome not too long ago.

"Kagome is in the room?" Vegeta asked bluntly, not going for niceties as he glanced around, "Along with your half-breed son?"

"Yeah," Goku nodded, "We thought it would be better if Kagome goes through the rest of her pregnancy in the Room of Spirit and Time so the baby won't be in any danger–"

Vegeta abruptly cut Goku off by grabbing the front of his shirt and pulling him down to his height, "Listen closely, Kakarott," He said lowly and dangerously, "Kagome may be having your brat, but that woman still belongs to me."

Goku frowned deeply, ripping his shirt out of Vegeta's grip, "No, she doesn't," He disagreed quickly, "Kagome isn't just a possession. She belongs to no one but herself and she has the right to give herself to anyone she wishes," The Saiyan narrowed his eyes, "She chose me."

Goku didn't even bother to try and block the harsh punch that Vegeta slammed into his cheek, "Deny it all you want," He murmured, rubbing the tender area on his cheek, "But she chose me."

Vegeta gave one last snarl, stalking away with heavy footsteps to lean against some wall as he started to mediate while he waited for his next turn in the Room of Spirit and Time.

'Kagome,' Goku sighed, glancing at the door, 'I hope you, the baby, and Gohan are doing all right...'

~00~

"The key to becoming a Super Saiyan is anger," Kagome advised, "Get angry," She suggested, narrowing her eyes when Gohan only looked away from her face uncomfortably, "What's wrong?" She sighed.

"Are... are you...?" Gohan timidly asked, "Is what Dad said before true?" He barely managed to make eye contact with the female Saiyan, "Am I... really going to be a big brother?"

Kagome rubbed at her temples, "Yes," She said bluntly, not one to lie about such important things, "I am pregnant. This child will be your half-sibling." Her fingers curled around her stomach unconsciously.

Gohan looked unsure what to think, "I knew that Dad really liked you," He thought out loud, "But what about Mom?" He glanced up when Kagome bent down to his height and put her hands on his shoulders.

"I'm not trying to replace your Mother," Kagome stated, "No one can do that. But," She pushed her bangs out of her eyes and tried to think of what to say next, "Your Father and Mother do love each other, just not in the way humans do when they marry each other. They weren't compatible in... that way." She knew her words were very awkward, but she hoped Gohan was a smart enough kid to understand what she was trying to get across.

"I know," Gohan confessed, "Mom was always yelling at Dad and I've never really seen them act really affectionate with each other," He sighed, "But you and Dad...? Are you together?" He asked cautiously, unsure if this was a sore subject or not with Kagome.

Kagome blinked, looking a little taken back by the innocent question, "Well, I suppose not officially," She said slowly, "But he seemed quite excited about having this kid with me," She shrugged, but more importantly, she needed Gohan's opinion on this matter, "How do you feel about it, Brat?"

Gohan glanced down with embarrassment as he scratched at his cheek in a manner very similar to that of his father, "Well, I kinda like the idea of being a big brother." He said shyly, giving a small smile when Kagome ruffled his long hair.

"Enough talk," She suddenly said, standing up to her full height, "We need to train. You have to become a Super Saiyan if we want even the smallest chance against Magatsuhi." She looked down at Gohan curiously, tilting her head slightly while playing with the ends of his growing ruffled black hair.

"But first, I should cut your hair a bit. You're starting to look way too much like your bastard Uncle Radditz." Gohan merely blinked in an innocent way, knowing he needed a haircut anyway.

And from what he could vaguely remember about Radditz, he was sure he didn't want to be like his Uncle in any way...
