Chapter 3
Bright light drifted through an opening in the drapes, piercing Usaig's eyelids, blues eyes flickered open only to swiftly close again, groaning she buried her face in her rough rumbling pillow. Wait, rumbling pillow, she slowly opened her eyes again, tilting her head to the source of the rumbling. Vegeta's head was laying against the wall, his roughly etched face was more relaxed than when she had first seen him. Her eyes roamed his face, following the curve of his cheeks landing on lips that were set in a firm line. She could tell even in sleep he kept himself guarded, butterflies fluttered in her stomach, unintentionally she found herself wondering how those firm lips would feel on hers. Would his kiss be just as strong and firm, or would he unlock a passion she never felt before. Would it unlock feelings in her that Mamoru's didn't, the rush of guilt hitting her brought her quickly back to reality.
She mentally scolded herself for daring to think of such a thing, it hadn't even been a full 24 hours since she lost the love of her life, or what she had thought was the love of her life. She had been hit with a triple threat all in one day, the life she knew had been wiped out, everyone and everything she had loved and cared about had been taken from her, then she finds out that the life she had known was based on a lie. While it had been meant with good intentions, it had still been a lie nevertheless. It made her wonder, why had Pluto not revealed the truth sooner, out of all her scouts, Pluto was the only one whose memory had remained untouched.
She was surprised to find anger bubbling, did the guardian of time hide it from her because she wanted Crystal Tokyo to happen. Did she stay silent because she thought her princess would drop everything and try to find the saiyan prince. Was there an ulterior motive to it, Usagi quickly shook her head, no she couldn't start that. If she started doubting and questioning everything she had ever known up till now, she would only drive herself to insanity.
She came back to reality, but found her breath catching in her throat, when she found black eyes staring back at her intensely. A red blush filled her cheeks as she quickly looked down, embarrassed to have been caught staring. How long had he been awake, how long had she been staring at him in a daze.
"What's troubling you mate?" she looked up when his deep voice washed over her. He had awoken to the feeling of being watched, to find her staring up at him, he found it amusing how much her face revealed the different emotions she was feeling.
Usagi sighed before looking back up at him, "...everything...everything has just happened so fast. One day i'm living a normal teenage life, well, as normal as you can get when you're a crime fighter. Then the next everything and everyone I have ever known is suddenly wiped out by a villain bent on taking over the universe. Then on top of all that, I have it thrown at me that the guy I thought I was supposed to marry and rule with isn't really the guy I'm supposed to be with."
Her fist tightened as anger flashed in her eyes, "part of me is upset that Pluto hid it from me, but then part of me is saddened." Sadness crossed her face as she sighed, "...I don't remember anything...but I can tell by the way you act around me and talk to me, that I was very special to you. And it saddens me that I have no memories of it, I can't help but feel like I might have been a disappointment to you, because I never doubted that the life I was living would be a lie."
Vegeta growled, tugging her hard to his chest, his hand grabbing her chin and forcing her to look at him, "Don't you ever think that again! What happened wasn't your fault! Your daughter told me what happened to you after I was taken by Frieza, they did the only thing they knew how to save your life. I will never hold that against you! You are my mate! I would rather have you returned to me with no memories, then never returned to me at all. So don't ever doubt yourself or my feelings for you. You are not a disappointment, you are more to me than I could ever admit. I'm not good with showing emotions, but know this, you are my mate. And when we complete the mating it will be a bond stronger than anything you've ever felt. You will be able to feel how much you mean to me."
Usagi's eyes widened at his words, despite learning that she had been following a destiny that led to being with another man, he still wanted her as his mate. Mamoru had never shown that kind of love devotion to her, had he somehow suspected, unconsciously, since he claimed he hadn't received his memories back until after Chaos killed him. That there was something about them that wasn't right. He had fallen under the enemies spell and turned against her so many times, for goddess sake, he had broken up with her because his future self had shown him dreams that she would be harmed if he didn't. Who does that, who sends their past self dreams to TEST their love for their supposed future spouse.
"Mate?" Vegeta's voice reached her, bringing her back to reality again, his hand on her cheek.
Usagi blinked eyes widened, "oh my god, I spaced out again, i'm sorry." She shook her head, "I just reminded myself of signs that had been given but I had thought nothing of."
"Like?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow,
"Like Mamoru's future self, KIng Endymion sending him dreams telling him to break up with me in order to TEST our love," she huffed, leaning against him crossing her arms, her cheeks puffing up with anger. "I mean who does that! Was that supposed to be some kind of sign clueing me in that he wasn't 'The One'. Or all the times he got kidnapped and turned against me. Was those supposed to be signs too, that fate and destiny who I will now say can kiss my ass, was trying to fix it but I was too much of a clueless klutz to figure it out."
Vegeta didn't know what to say, she had suddenly jumped from docile to raging vixen, he felt his own anger rise at the mention that the mortal would dare play with his mate's emotions to test their connection. If he had truly loved her, he wouldn't have played games like that with her heart.
"He was a fool," Vegeta ran a finger across her cheek and her lips, "just as he was in the moon kingdom." He chuckled seeing her puffed cheeks, "anger looks good on you mate, it only increases my attraction to you."
Usagi raised an eyebrow of her own, but a smile crossed her lips, "well, i'm glad you're finding it so amusing."
"Mama…." a soft voice reached them, Usagi turned her head realizing Chibi-Usa had been curled against them. Chibi-usa yawned, rubbing her eyes, looking up at her, "You didn't lose everyone, i'm still here."
Usagi's eyes softened as she turned in Vegeta's arms to embrace her daughter, "you're right, I still have you." She placed a kiss on Chibi-usa's head, "my little demon spore, but I love you."
"Hey," chibi-usa said, but wiggled when Usagi embraced her, she finally sighed and gave up returning the embrace. "Guess what mama?"
"What," Usagi asked, wondering what Chibi-usa was going to say.
"Gohan said that the other girls could be in this timeline as well," Chibi-usa smiled, getting on her knees as she waved her hands happily. "So they were right, when they said we would be together again."
"Really?" Usagi's eyes widened in surprise, she could see the girls again, joy filled her face as she smiled.
"Possibly," Vegeta said quickly, when he saw how happy his mate was getting. He didn't want her to get all her hopes up only to have it all destroyed, if her friends did not have alternate forms in this world. He placed a hand on hers sending Chibi-Usa a slight glare, before looking back to his mate, "he said there was a possibility, there's still a chance that they don't have alternate forms in this time-line."
Chibi-usa smiled sheepishly at the glare Vegeta gave her, "heh ummm….I'm going to go get something to eat!" She ran out of the room.
Vegeta shook his head, at least Trunks would be kept busy, keeping her out of trouble. He looked back to his mate, his face and voice serious as he placed a hand back on her cheek, "don't put all your hopes on this mate. I don't want to see you get hurt or your heart break if we find out they're not here. The chance of them being here, is...very slim."
Usagai nodded, sighing, "I know...but." She looked up at him, determination on her face and in her eyes, "even if there's a thread of a chance they could be here. I have to take it, they are all very special to me. They weren't just my guardians, they were my best friends too. They would never give up on me, and I almost gave up on them. I refuse to make that mistake again."
Vegeta nodded, he was proud of her, she had the heart and strength worth of being his mate. A very loud grumbling growl filled the room, he turned his eyes on her as her cheeks reddened the blush going to her neck. Her stomach gave off another loud grumble as she blushed redder.
"Sorry...i guess i'm really hungry," she fiddled with her fingers not looking up.
"Hahahaha," he started laughing, she looked up at him wide-eyed. "Well no wonder, you've been asleep for 24 hours, it's no surprise." He leaned till his nose touched hers, "let's go get you something to eat mate."
"Umm..before we do…" she looked at him uncertainty in her eyes, "you keep calling me mate...even though we aren't officially mated."
"Yes, because you belong to me, the bond might not be completed, but it will be just not yet," he replied, stepping down off the bed.
"Oh…" she said, her shoulders dropped, it must have been because they had just been reunited. That's right, Puto had said the timeline was further along, that he had had a mate and child already. "Sorry...I forgot things are further along for you than they were for me. You had a mate and a child already, I had literally just gotten out of high school. ...i'm barely an adult yet…"
She gasped when she found herself pinned against the bed, looking up at angry eyes, she swallowed but at the same time she felt her body shiver in anticipation. His hands held her arms tightly against the bed, his knee pressed into the bed between her legs.
He was furious at hearing her words, did she really believe he was holding off on mating her because he possibly thought of her as a child still. A growl rumbled in his chest as he leaned forward, his face inches from her, his beast was demanding that he mate her now. Growling at him that he needed to complete the bond so that she no longer had any doubts about him wanting her. He growled again as his eyes bore into hers, before leaning in to where the skin between her shoulder and neck met was bare from a tear in fuka. He nipped the area feeling her shiver under, he ground his hips into hers, letting her feel the bulge that there was there. So she could see and feel how much he was affected by her, before claiming her lips in a searing kiss.
Usagi gasped against his lips when kissed her, she could feel the bulge in his pants grinding into her, the thin white fabric that covered her allowing her to feel it as if there was no barrier at all. She felt his tongue curling against her lips demanding entrance, her lips parting as her own curled to meet his. Their tongues fighting a battle neither wanted to lose, she felt him press her tighter into the bed, his chest pressed against hers. Heat poured through her core, she could feel herself growing wet, her heart was racing in her chest.
She gasped for air when the kiss broke, a soft moan escaping her lips when he kissed down her neck, his warm breath on her skin sending wonderful shivers through her body, as he ground himself against her harder.
"Can you feel what being around you does to me?" he growled against her neck, "my beast is demanding that I take you here now. That I perform the mating bond to bind you to me forever. Do you know why I fight it? Why do I force myself to hold back?'
He leaned up his eyes locking with hers, "it's true I had had a mate. But it wasn't a full mating, I had marked her and she bore a son. But she wasn't my 'one', I never felt the 'pull' for her. A saiyan can only ever feel the 'the pull' once in their lives. It was because you were my 'one', I want to make you mine. I want to feel you beneath me, to feel your warm sheath around me as I thrust into you. To hear you screaming my name in pleasure as I take you through orgnasm after orgnasm. To release into you as I place my claim."
"But why don't…" Usagi started to ask why he doesn't, gasping when he nipps her neck harder.
"Because you are not ready," he growled out, he was having a hard time with her so close, watching her writhed under him in pleasure. "You were just torn from the life you knew, from a man that you believed you were supposed to spend an eternity with. You haven't had time to grieve, to fully accept what has happened. I want you to be completely sure that this is what you before we perform the bond. Once we do there won't be any turning back, I don't want you to have any regrets."
Usagi felt tears fill her eyes, he was holding back not because of her, but for her. Out of respect to her feelings, he was forcing himself to fight against his own beast, he wanted her to have completely chosen it. He didn't want to force her into anything that she wasn't fully committed to yet.
"I...understand.." she said softly, her voice gave away that she was still sad about it.
Vegeta sighed before raising himself to look her in the eyes again, "there is something else I could do instead." His right hand released her arm, as he brushed his fingers against the junction of her neck. "I can please my mark, it will signify to others that you are mine, that you belong to me. It will be just like the mark I placed on you back on the moon kingdom."
Usagi swallowed, before nodding in agreement, she had no doubts about it, it was what she wanted, "do it."
"It will hurt at first, but I promise it will pass quickly," Vegeta pulled his head back as his fangs lengthened, leaning in he licked the skin where his mark would go. His hand brushed over her body until his fingers were brushing against her core through the thin fabric. Hearing her moans he curled his fingers around the fabric to rub against the nub over her core. He wanted to distract her from the pain she was going to feel when he bit her.
Usagi tightened her eyes shut when she felt him licking her neck, preparing herself for the pain, but instead she found herself moaning in surprise when his fingers brushed over her core through the thin fabric. Her hands clenched the sheets when his fingers found her pleasure center. Her body grew hotter as his fingers worked their magic, she found herself grow wet. A gasp escaped her lips when his fingers slid into her, she could feel him curling them against her inner wall. Her toes curling in her boots as her hips lifted to grind against his fingers.
Vegeta felt his beast rumbling in his chest, his blood was on fire, he wanted to claim her now. He pulled the reins tighter on his beast, he would not force his mate into something she was not fully committed to yet. He was only trying to decrease the pain she would feel, he felt her grow wetter around his fingers and started thrusting his fingers harder and faster into her. He could feel when her walls began to tighten around his fingers, he knew she was closer. Growling loudly he thrust his fingers hard and deep curling them, he felt her walls clamp down around them as her cry reached his ears. Swiftly he bit into her neck, his fangs breaking the skin, her blood pooling into his mouth.
His bit his lip, letting drops of his own blood mix with hers, his tongue curling over the wound. He continued licking it until his saliva had healed the mark into a scar, pulling back at the same time as removing his fingers from her core, he looked down at her. She laid out below him, her skin glowing from a thin cover of sweat, her silver gold thread like hair spread out around her. Her chest rising and falling with deep breaths, her eyes were half-closed looking back at him. Seeing her like that had his beast burning through his blood. He removed his knee from between her legs as he stepped back.
Usagi felt her breath finally returning to her as she took a deep breath, looking back at him as she slowly sat up, "...that was...wow…"
He chuckled at her reaction, before reaching a hand to help her up, "mate, you haven't seen anything yet."
She shivered in pleasure, if that was how he could make her feel just by marking her, she could only imagine how it would feel when they complete the mating bond. An enormously loud grumble from her stomach brought her back to reality.
Laughing louder, Vegeta pulled her to her feet, "now, you eat." He paused looking her over, "can you use that crystal thing of yours to change to normal."
Usagi blinked, tilting her head, she had forgotten she was still her sailor form, "yeah why?"
"Because if you don't change out of that, I might not be able to hold off on giving you the time you need before I claim you completely," the many tears in the costume were showing off quite a bit of her form and it was making his beast growl and bite at the bit to get free.
Usagi blushed before nodding, she raised a hand to her brooch, a silver light surrounding her before making her sailor outfit disappear. Instead she now wore blue jeans that hugged her form and a blank tank top with a pink jean jacket with a little white rabbit on the left side of the chest. White tennis shoes with pink rabbits, the bottom layer of the shoe lit up when she walked.
Vegeta raised another eyebrow at her shoes, she giggled, "heh, what can I say, I like them."
"Uh huh," he said shaking his head, he had the feeling that those infernal contraption shoes weren't the only highlights he would learn about his mate. He took her hand and together they headed to the kitchen, well, with him leading her there since she didn't know her way around yet.
"Well, look who's up," Chichi said smiling, when the two walked in. "Hello deary, Chibi-usa is already here with the boys."
Usagi stood in the doorway, her jaw had dropped in when she stepped in to see four other males who were currently chowing down at the table. They we're putting away food like there was no tomorrow.
"Yo!" a goofy man waved while taking a chunk out of a loaf of bread. A mini version of him was next to him following suit.
Chichi laughed at her reaction, "haha sorry, the boys have no table manners. But you'll get used to it."
Usagi smiled, "it's okay, it doesn't bother me…" she blushed when her stomach let out an enormously loud grumble again.
"Oh dear, you must be so hungry," Chihi-hurried to pull a chair out next to Chibi-Usa and Trunks. "Come have a seat next to Chibi-usa and Trunks, and i'll get you some food. I made a stack-load of pancakes, I'm told they're your favorite."
Usagi's face lit up in joy, "yeah! They are!" She started to head for the chair, but her hand was still in Vegeta's and he pulled her back to his side. She blinked looking at him curiously, to see why he had stopped her.
Instead he pulled her with him to his chair, he sat down then pulled her into his lap, when she yelped in surprise staring up at him he merely sat back like it was a normal thing. A round of snickering broke out around the table, along with giggling from Chibi-Usa.
"You might as well get used to it," Goku said, "Saiyans are extremely overprotective of their mates, especially around non-mated males. He'll be like that until you're fully mated, thanks to his mark other creatures like us will know are taken thanks to his scent on you. You'll have to be careful around human males though, they won't be able to pick that up. I'm Goku by the way, Chichi is my wife, and Goten here is my son. I have one more but he's visiting a friend of ours."
Usagi nodded eyes wide, she realized she truly had no idea what she was really in for, "thanks, good to know." Before smiling again, "I'm Usagi, and you've already met my daughter Chibi-USa."
Trunks jumped up in his seat grinning, "and I'm Trunks, Vegeta's my dad. So does this mean you're going to be my new mom?"
Usagi's eyes widened again, she had been caught off guard by his question. She chewed on her lips, considering her answer, she could see hope in the childs eyes.
Vegeta took Usagi's silence as being uncomfortable, "BOY! How many times do I have to tell you!"
Trunks winced, he knew his dad was really mad this time as he backed down his seat, cringing, "...yeah I know...sorry dad."
Usagai's eyes softened, she laid a hand gently on Vegeta's chest to calm him looking up at him, ,"it's alright Vegeta. I'm sure it's been hard for him growing up without a mother, I know if something happened to me, I wouldn't want Chibi-Usa growing up without a mother. " She turned back to Trunks, "Trunks dear, if that's truly what your heart desires then you may consider me a mother to you."
Vegeta was furious again, he had told the boy numerous times to take it easy, yet the boy constantly jumped right to those conclusions. He looked down at his mate when her hand touched his chest, his anger ebbed away at her words. A sense of guilt hit him, yes, he knew Trunks had taken his mother's death hard. Although he had tried, there was only so much he could do for the boy. The boy truly did need a mother figure in his life, to be there in a way for the boy that he couldn't. He felt pride swell up in his chest when Usagi confirmed that she would be glad to be his mother-figure. If he thought he couldn't love her more, then he was beyond wrong, she just found new ways to impress him.
A huge smile shot across Trunks face as he pumped a fist in the air, "Yes!" he then turned to chibi-usa with energy, "guess that confirms it. You're officially my sister now!"
"Great, but don't you dare try to pick on me or i'll Mini-moon you straight to the moon and back!" Chibi-Usa challenged, but a huge grin of her own was on her face.
Goten busted out laughing on the other side of the table, falling out of his chair, "bwhahahahaha! Trunks beaten by a girl? Hahaha that would be hilarious."
"Hey!" Trunks threw a jar of honey at Goten hard, "shut it!"
Chichi laughed, shaking her head at the kids, as she set a large plateful of pancakes in front of Usagi, "looks like they're already getting on so well together."
Usagi grinned, "and Chibi-usa would do it too. She may look small and innocent, but she's really 600 years old. Wow that looks good!" She dug right into the stack of pancakes with a vengeance. Completely missing the looks of shock from the rest of the kitchen occupants.
Trunk's eyes almost bulged out, "600 years old!" He turned swiftly pointing at Chibi-Usa, "how the hell are you 600 years old when you look and act like a 6 year old!"
Chibi-usa fidgeted in her seat, under the stares of the other occupants, "umm...somehow the silver crystal stunted my growth. While everyone around me grew up, I remained like this, though everyone in Crystal Tokyo had largely lengthened lifespans. When momma took up the throne after Earth turned in a barren frozen land, the crystal also granted the rest of the people long lifespans. Almost everyone on earth in my timeline, never grow old."
"So basically you're an old lady in a kindergarten body," Goten said, having gotten back up from the floor.
"I am not an old lady!" Chibi-usa screamed, an yellow upturned crescent flaring to life on her forehead.
"Chibi-Usa!" Usagi yelled, pausing in her intake of pancakes.
"Goten!" Chihici's yell joined Usagi's, she smacked Goten across the back of the head hard, "what have I taught you about your manners! Is that any way to speak to a lady!"
"No mother," Goten cringed, rubbing the back of his head. "Sorry Chibi-usa."
Chibi-usa winced at Usagi's yell, the crescent on her forehead disappearing, "yes momma." She sat back in her seat to eat her breakfast.
Usagai went back to devouring her pancakes, now everyone else at the table was staring at her, she paused realizing they were all staring at her, "...oh ….sorry….it's probably disturbing to all of you how much I'm eating."
"Are you kidding me?!" Goten yelled with a huge grin on his face, "it totally makes you look hotter! You should see how much dad and Vegeta can whoof down!"
Chichi chuckled, "no worries deary. Trust me, all my boys and Vegeta and his boy can tuck away more food than even you, it's apparently a saiyan thing."
"Yeah," Goku pointed out, "our bodies use so much energy when training or fighting that we're constantly having to replenish it."
Usagi couldn't believe it, her eating habits didn't bother them one bit, she glanced up at Vegeta through the corner of her eye, "you're not disgusted by how much I'm eating."
Vegeta let out a deep laugh, "Hell no, it only makes you look more beautiful mate. You eat like a saiyan, I couldn't be more prouder."
Usagai grinned happily, "I'm so glad! The girls and Mamoru were always making comments about my eating habits and getting fat, they'd make fun of me for it. " She immediately went silent realizing what she was saying, her throat tightening as her eyes dropped, her hand resting on the side of her plate. Now thinking back, Mamoru was always mean to her about her eating habits, sometimes almost considered cruel.
Vegeta's arms went around her pulling back tightly against his body, eyes narrowed, he had a feeling that her friends and the earth prince probably constantly put her down because of her eating habits, he growled, "don't mate. Don't withdraw into yourself. You're as beautiful as you were in the moon kingdom, and you always be. You need the energy, that crystal of yours absorbs so much energy from you when you use it, just like our energy. Which means you have to constantly replenish it, all the food you eat turns to energy the crystal uses. He was a fool to not realize that, and you're friends' forms probably never used as much energy as the crystal takes from you."
"Yeah it makes you hotter!" Goten yelled from his seat, earning another smack from his mother. "What?! I was complimenting her sheesh!"
Chibi-Usa had gone silent as well at the mention of her father's names, but when Vegeta comforted her mother, she found herself smiling. He truly loved her moon mama, she had nothing to worry about, he would take good care of her mother.
"Vegeta's right," Goku said, "If your crystal is anything like our abilities, you need a constant replenishment. So eat as much you like, and don't worry about what anyone thinks, no one here will ever judge you for it. Hell, my son's right, it's hot as hell to find a female who can eat just as much as us."
"Goku!" Chihi yelled at her husband after having smacked Goten again, she shook her head at her boys.
Usagi giggled, "thanks guys, I'll remember that." And with that she went through another two stacks of pancakes, Vegeta going through five high stacks, ten eggs, hash browns, sausage, bacon, and even part of her fourth plate of pancakes that she ended up not being able to finish.
"Usagi leaned back while still in Vegeta's arms stretching, "wow that was delicious, thanks Chichi."
"You're very welcome, wait till you see how dinnertime goes," Chihi replied with a laugh.
"Uhhh I'm stuffed," Goku said, "hey Vegeta, want to go spar a few rounds in the gravity chamber?"
"Gravity chamber?" Usagai asked, just what the heck was a Gravity chamber.
"It's a device that was created by Bulma, Vegeta's last wife," Goku said standing, "she was a genius, she created almost everything here at Capsule Corp. From specialized capsules that can hold whatever you want, all the way to transportation devices."
Usagai found her stomach doing a flip, Vegeta's previous wife, the one that had been killed, had been a genius. How could she live up to that, she barely passed math class in school, let alone any of her other subjects. The other girls had tried to help her, but she still had only managed passable grades, nothing compared to Ami. Ami probably would have been able to compete, but not Usagi.
"You know she even created a spaceship, it took us all the way to the planet Namek, " Goku continued, unaware that Usagi was slipping more and more into depression. "Our friends that Gohan went to see are actually from Planet Namek…"
The others however were taking note that Usagi's eyes were almost to the point of tears, and that her face was looking more and more horrified, Vegeta felt his blood begin to boil at Kakorot's stupidity. His beast came roaring out, "KAKAROT! ENOUGH!"
Goku shut up, a finger rubbing the inside of ear, "damn Vegeta, you didn't need to yell so loud." He glanced at Uasagi, and quickly began to pale realizing what had happened, and began to panik "I'm so sorry Usagi! I didn't mean to upset you! I"m not trying to compare you to Bulma or anything! I mean she was a genius, but that doesn't mean that I think you're dumb or anything! Vegeta still loves you, you don't have to be a genius too! He would never compare you to her or anything!"
Usagi's lip had begun to quiver, her throat tightening even more, the more she heard the more she realized she could never compare to this 'Bulma'. Once Vegeta sees how much of a clutz she really is, would he begin regretting his decision. Would he start comparing her to his previous wife, who sounded like she was so perfect. The more Goku continued the more she felt her heart clenching tightly, and she even built a spaceship, not even Ami had been able to do something like that. His previous wife sounded so...perfect. Usagi could never be like that, she knew there was no way she could live up to those expectations. Her whole body had begun to shake, when she felt her emotions readying to spill out, she jumped out of Vegeta's lap and ran out of the room.
Vegeta shot up to try to grab her but she had already disappeared out of the kitchen, his ki flared around him, "DAMN IT KAKOROT! I SHOULD FUCKING KILL YOU RIGHT WHERE YOU STAND!"
"Hey!" Chibi-Usa yelled angrily, she jumped her feet as well pointing a finger straight at Goku. Goten and Trunks looked at her with wide open mouths and eyes as a rush of energy surrounded her with her crescent appearing "Why would you go and bring up his previous wife in front of my moon mama! Are you trying to hurt her?! She may not be that bright, and she may be a klutz, but she is still my mother! You should show her some respect! Her heart is purer than anyones, and you just broke it!"
Everyone, even Vegeta, just stared at the little girl, they couldn't believe that she had just yelled at someone who could easily break her in half. Chibi-usa realized she was being stared at, and immediately felt embarrassment filling her, she was shocked at herself for how she had just acted. But she had seen how upset Goku's words had been making her mother, even if it wasn't intentionally, and that just made her angrier. Her mother had been through so much, and even though her father hadn't acted the same way as his younger self. She had seen how the younger mamoru treated her mother, there things and times there that had made her mother questioned if she was really loved. Vegeta showed more adoration for her mother than her papa ever had.
"That's my sister!" Trunks yelled jumping into the air laughing, "whoohoo!"
"Wow that was awesome!" Goten yelled, as he slapped Chibi-usa on the back, but with less strength.
Chibi-Usa blushed, "uh thanks."
"Goku, you should go apologize to Usagi dear," Chichi said sternly, her arms crossing against her chest. "And this time, leave Bulma out of it. A woman doesn't like being compared to a man's previous wife. The poor dear is probably thinking she's not good enough to be Vegeta's mate now."
"No, I will take care of my mate," Vegeta growled, turning his back to them. "You've done enough damage Kakorot."
Vegeta exited the kitchen, he went to the spare bedroom but she wasn't there, he frowned then went to the living room. He checked a few more rooms, but she wasn't in any of those. He found himself returning to the kitchen, he was becoming worried now, "she's not here."
"Oh no, she must have left the house," Chichi said worriedly, "but the poor dear doesn't know her way around. "
"I'll go look for her," Vegeta turned to leave, if the mating bond had been completed he would have been able to locate her easily. Right now he would have to locate her using his mark that covered her in his scent. But with so many other scents in this area, it would be difficult.
"I'll go," Goku said, placing a hand on Vegeta's shoulder, "it's my fault she left."
"I'm going too," Chibi-usa said sternly, "I know my mama, I know what areas she might go to. I can help find her."
Vegeta narrowed his eyes at Goku, "fine." At Chibi-Usa's words he nodded, she was right, she knew what his mate liked, so she would be an asset in finding his mate. "Alright."
"We'll help search too," Trunks said, as he and Goten followed them outside. "Goten and I can scour the city on the opposite side in case she ends up there. We'll come back home after that."
Chibi-Usa walked with them when they went outside, but she paused when they all stopped, "why is everyone stopping."
"Cause we're all going to fly," Goten said grinning, both him and Trunks jumped into the air taking off for the other side of the city.
Chibi-Usa's jaw dropped, "how are you flying?!"
"You can come with us Chibi-Usa, " Goku said, as he floated a few feet off the ground.
"But I can't fly, not without Pegasus's help," Chibi-usa said, just how did they expect her to be able to do it.
"We can you teach you later, for now we'll just carry you," Goku landed again, then crouched down, "get on my back. You can point areas out to Vegeta that your mother might go to."
"Oh...ok," Chibi-usa swallowed, before climbing onto Goku's back, her legs wrapping around him as he hooked his arms around her ankles.
"Hang on tight," he leaped into the air, chuckling at her scream before she was able to right herself.
"Kakorot if you drop her…" Vegeta growled, leaving the threat hanging open, he knew the other saiyan would pick up on his intention.
"Yeah yeah, i know Vegeta," Goku said, shaking his head, "if I drop her you'll kill me. I get it."
Vegeta flew beside them, his eyes scanning every part of the city that they flew over, he had to find his mate. Now he was regretting not completing the mating bond right away, he thought he was helping, if he had he would be able to feel what she had been feeling. He would have been able to feel her sadness growing and would have been able to squash any doubts she had right away. Before she lost herself to her doubts and sadness, he would have been able to prevent this, to be out searching for his mate in a world that she knew nothing about. Heaven forbid if anything happens to her because of Kakorot's big mouth.
