She had met them...originally it was fine as just them...but soon he wanted to be more than just them.

(Present)

Bulma ran the back of her gloved hand over her brow and sighed as she reached for her water bottle. "Come on Bulma, this is just like the old days." She laughed to herself a bit as she thought back to shrink watch and other devices she'd made over time.

"Bulma, dear…why not call it a day and get some rest. I can take over for you."

"Dad…" Bulma looked to her father as he walked out of the house with baby on his shoulder. "I'm fine for now, but if you aren't against helping me, I will turn in after a few more hours."

"Yes, of course!"

She smiled as her father pulled on his own gloves and the two got ready to knock heads and pull an all-nighter.

"Bulma, Kagome and I are going to shower and sleep."

"Kay, Kagome can show you to the spare bedroom Chichi. I'll turn in soon."

Neither Chichi or Kagome believed their blue haired friend, but Chichi ushered Kagome off and said a final goodnight to the two Brief's.

Kagome stared back at Bulma as Chichi led her inside.

"Try not to worry too much."

She looked at Chichi and frowned, "how can I not?"

"…well, her dad will send her to bed if her mother doesn't, but I know Bulma, she's trying to prove herself. She'll push herself but not enough to fatigue her mind."

"Yeah, I guess you're right."

"Kagome…you will be going with them, right?"

"You mean, when they depart to meet up with Vegeta?" At Chichi's nod, Kagome smiled, "yes, I will go with them."

"Watch over Gohan, will you? I'll be beside myself with worry, I know I will, but knowing that at least you and Bulma are there for him, I know Goku will be too…but I need someone who gives him love and affection from time to time too, not just playful fighting and-"

"Chichi!" Kagome smiled as she called the older woman's name out, cutting her off in her worry. "I will watch over your son, and I will make sure he's safe. I promise, he will come home to you." She stopped in front of a room and opened the door, "this is your room. I'm across from you and Bulma is next door to you."

Chichi nodded, "…thank you."

She knew the woman wasn't thanking her for the room, she knew, smiling at her as she waved it off, "it's no problem…now, go rest Chichi."

Days passed, more than the few days that were necessary for the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Kagome found herself staring up at the night sky almost a week later, her eyes trailing over every massive ball of gas that sparkled in the night sky from the distance.

"Vegeta…what are you doing right now?" She closed her eyes and dropped her hand to her abdomen where a baby bump was now slightly showing. Almost two months in…and a just barely visible bump was made know as her hand trailed along the outlines of her abdomen. "Will you even acknowledge me…when we meet again? Will your beast recognize me as yours?" A year slipped passed her closed lids and she sighed as sleep found her.

Hours later, warm arms lifted her from the curled-up state she was in by against the tree she'd been sleeping under.

"Silly girl..."

"Is she okay? Dad?"

"She'll be fine, Gohan. Let's get her in bed, you as well."

The whispered voices of Goku and Gohan fell on deft ears as they carried the sleeping Kagome into her room and laid her to rest before they found their own room where Chichi was already in a deep slumber herself. None the wiser to the two who snuck into bed beside her as they too let sleep claim them,

(Elsewhere)

Vegeta watched as a planet fell under the slaughter of Nappa's entertainment. He wasn't fazed by it in the least, not batting an eye at the screams, cries and pleas for mercy. Instead, he fired his own blast to silence them quicker. "End it Nappa, I grow bored."

"Huh? Oh, right, sorry about that Vegeta." He laughed, "guess I was getting a little carried away."

Nappa fired a concentrated amount of his energy at the planet and watched as it started to crack under the pressure of heat and distortion below the planet's surface.

Vegeta looked back as the planet gave in to the pressure of the destruction wrecked upon it. In the distance he watched a family cower in one another's arms, the battered and bloodied bodies of their kin surrounding them in mounds and masses. Their cries pulled at something inside, he narrowed his eyes at the family as Nappa laughed while watching them himself. Raising his own hand, he formed a ball of energy in his hand, and released it towards the family. Their death was quick, and silent. Nappa glanced towards Vegeta who no longer looked towards the planet as he climbed back into his space pod. "Nappa, get in touch with Raditz and find out how much longer until their ship is ready for departure."

Nappa nodded as he climbed into his own space pod, not getting a word in as Vegeta's pod closed and they shot off towards their next purge. Nappa pressed a button on his Scouter, "Raditz!" He waited a few minutes, hearing no response, he repeated the Saiyan's name louder.

"What do you want, Nappa!?"

"What are you doing that's so important that you aren't answering your scouter?!"

"Sleeping! Even the Elite Class need sleep, Nappa!"

"Well, Vegeta wants an update." Nappa pressed a couple buttons, prepping his pod for his own sleep.

"Nothing to report, the Ship should be done in a couple weeks, no more. I'll get a better answer tomorrow morning when the mechanic is awake and working on the ship."

"…I'm surprised you aren't forcing them to work on the ship now."

"Don't be...if I force her, she'll no doubt make a mistake. She pushes herself hard enough without my hovering over her. You needn't worry about the Ship, I'm going back to sleep, so don't bother me again tonight."

The line went dead and Nappa swore he'd beat Raditz into the ground the next time he saw the mouthy Saiyan. "Has he forgotten my power level is far superior than his!?"

"Heh," a familiar chuckle sounded on the other side of the Scouter and Nappa's fists tightened even more as he realized his Prince had heard the whole thing. "Raditz is becoming quite bold, his time on Earth. We should be sure to remind of his place, when we see him next."

This time, Nappa laughed too as he agreed to readily with Vegeta's comment. Yeah, next time they saw him, he'd be sure to put him in his place.
