chapter four; Brotherly Bonds and Blue Skin
"So I have a brother?", Goku said in disbelief, "And I'm an alien?" A rare thing happened then. Goku lost his apitite, and refused the food that the long-haired man offered him.
"Well, Kakarot, perhaps to her planet you could be called an alien.", Goku's brother continued.
"Every Saiya-jin is an alien now.", the big bald man said.
"Shut up.", the short one demanded.
"What did you call me?", Goku asked his brother
"Kakarot. It is your birth name after all.", Raddits continued.
"What about our parents?"
"Gone. Along with our whole race.", Raddits replied emotionlessly, as if he didn't even care, "The planet was destroyed not long after you were born. We, the four men here right now are all that are left of the proud Saiya- jins." Goku swallowed. Many years ago, he had lost his grandpa, and the memory was still fresh in his mind. Now, just as quickly as he had aquired parents, they were taken away from him. They were dead. Raddits took savage bite of the meat in his hand, as if he were just casually speaking about something unimportant.
"Don't you...even...care?", he asked sadly.
"What do you mean?", Raddits replied.
"Don't you...miss them?"
"I suppose...I mean, I'll never aquire fathers rank as squad commander, I'll never find a woman. Well, no use living in the past.", his brother said, still with no emotion.
"I mean" Goku rubbed his forehead. "didn't you love them."
"What?! Oh. I've heard this word before. Once on a purging mission a weakling attacked me saying that he would 'avenge the death of the one he loved'. It's some sort of mental bond right? I hate to break it to you, brother, but it isn't a saiya-jin emotion." He took another bite.
"What's wrong with you?!", Goku yelled, as he stood up, knocking over the table, and attempting to push the larger man onto the ground. The push Goku gave did nothing, and he soon felt an unbelievable punch on his face.
"Nothing.", Raddits replied, "But there is definately something wrong with you."
-----------------------------------------------------------
Kakarot looked up at him, his nose gushimg blood, and his eyes watering. "You don't even care!", he cried, "You don't even care!!!"
"Brother,", Raddits said, feeling horribly embarassed at his brothers disgrace, "are you crying? Stop it! I didn't hit you that hard!"
"You monster!!!", Kakarot replied., "How can you be so cold?!!!"
"Kakarot, if you actually do 'care' about your family, you will stop disgracing the entire line!"
"Disgrace?! I'll bet you didn't even cry for then when you found out that they were dead?!"
"No, I didn't. And do you want to know why? It's because I'm a Saiya-jin! Saiya-jins simply don't cry! They don't love! They don't 'care'!!!"
"I do!!!", Kakarot cried through bitter tears.
"Well,then maybe your not my brother after all.", Raddits said, in a quieter tone.
"I sure hope not!"
------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, poor Goku, thought Bulma, as she looked on at the spectacle. He had so many feelings about his parents, and wanted only to share them with his brother, which was apparently too much to ask. The boy was in so much pain. There must have been some sort of mistake. There was no way Goku was related to this brute.
"Congradulations, Raddits.", Nappa(she had learned his name over the coarse of the conversation) said, "You've finnally found a Saiya-jin weker than yourself. I'm not surprized that he just happens to by your little brother."
"Shut up, Nappa.", he replied, "your not that much stronger than me."
"Yeah, only a little less than five and a half times, and Prince Vegeta here has you more than ten fold. I guess your not the weakest Saiya-jin anymore."
'Ah, he has a name.', she thought, momentarily forgetting about poor Goku. Vegeta...That sounded familar...Vejita-sei!
"Excuse me. Vegeta?", Bulma asked.
"Did you just adress me by my name, Creature?!", Vegeta replied.
"What was the name of your planet?"
"None of your business...Vejita-sei."
"Thankyou."
"Hmpf.", was his reply.
----------------------------------------------------------
Why did he answer the woman? He wasn't sure. He wasn't sure about much of anythig anymore.
----------------------------------------------------------
'What a jerk!', Bulma thought, 'I feed him, and treat him nicely, and...and this is the thanks I get?!' Although...
"Vegeta.", said a figure who had suddenly appeared behind the prince. He had blue skin, and green hair, but besides that, he was kind of cute.
"Oh, what now?", Vegeta said, turning around. "What do you want, Zarbon?"
"It's not what I want. It's what Lord Freiza wants. He said that he expected you in his quarters over four hours ago. What are you doing?", the blue man said.
"Eating.", Vegeta replied.
"Who are these people?"
"Don't ask me."
"Well, come on, Vegeta. Lord Freiza doesn't have all day."
"Fine.", said Vegeta, "Nappa, Raddits, lets go. The lizzard calls."
And then he was gone. They were all gone faster than Bulma could see. 'Goodbye', she lipped. She threw out a gravity-controlled capsule house; thier temporary home. Somehow, she knew in her heart they would be back, or atleast one of them would, and she wasn't the leaste bit afraid...
