The sun was slowly sinking beyond the ridge of mountains. The night air was creeping into the log cabin in the middle of the woods. Pale smoke could be seen from the chimney as well as the lights on the front porch and around the cabin.
Bulma and Yamcha had gotten Isha settled into one of the guestrooms. She wasn't seriously hurt, but had still been groggy, so they put her to bed to rest. The scientific genius was starting the reassemble the tattered living room with Yamcha's help when the Saiyan prince returned home.
Bulma paused in her work unsure of how to tell Vegeta that his mate was missing. She gauged him carefully. She remembered what happened the last time Goku had gotten hurt and it wasn't pretty -especially for the one who was on the receiving end of his ire.
Vegeta scanned the room and noted that another male had been there but it was hard to separate the scents, when. . .
"What are you doing here, weakling?" Vegeta growled, advancing on Yamcha.
Yamcha cringed in fear, but followed Bulma's advice and remained frozen in place.
"Ge, wait, please - we need to talk," Bulma said, not moving from her spot. In his current state, any type of sudden movement would cause the prince to lash out.
Vegeta stopped when he heard the quaver in her voice and looked at his ex- wife. Something was wrong. "Where's Kakarott?"
"I went to Yamcha's earlier today, and left Isha to keep an eye on him. He told me who was attacking Goku. . ." That was all that Bulma could say before Vegeta dove at the other fighter.
The next thing Yamcha knew he was staring up at the ceiling. Vegeta had knocked him clear across the battered living room and was stalking toward him, ki flashing around him.
"Vegeta, please listen. I know that you're upset," Bulma said. Upset was an understatement, but with Vegeta in this state both her's and Yamcha's lives were in danger. "Isn't it more important now to find Goku?"
The royal stopped and glared at Bulma. She was right, yet again.
"Yamcha knows he should have told you right from the very start, but think about it, would you have believed him if he had told you?"
"So, tell me now. . .where is Kakarott?" he demanded.
"Well, uh Ge. We-we, uh, don't know." Bulma admitted.
Vegeta turned on Yamcha and hauled him off the floor. "Where.is.my.mate?!" The prince growled, baring razor sharp teeth, his rage barely under control.
"I don't know Vegeta. I swear. I really don't know," Yamcha said trembling, dangling in Vegeta's grasp.
"Ge, I think that a drug is being used to keep Goku's energy suppressed. Once it wears off his ki will increase enough to be found." Bulma explained.
"How do we know that he will stop giving it to him?" Vegeta asked.
"We don't, but since he thinks that he is the father he probably will to protect the health of Goku and the babies," Bulma said hopefully.
"And if he doesn't. . .?" Vegeta questioned.
" If he doesn't, and continues to keep him weak with the drugs, Goku and the twins will die," Bulma said sadly, a tear running down her cheek.
A *look * flashed through Vegeta's eyes, before he turned back to Yamcha with renewed anger and determination.
"Who is it weakling?"
"It's my twin brother, Shiru."
"Twin brother?" Vegeta said in disbelief, dropping Yamcha to the floor.
"We're identical twins with the exception of our scars. His is on his right cheek." Yamcha said in a quiet tone.
"Why?" It was the one question that Yamcha knew he could answer but dreaded.
"We hadn't seen each other for years. He didn't have any place to stay so I let him live with me for a while. One day while I was out Goku came by. . ."
~ Flashback ~
The vast living room was decorated with bits of furniture. The one bedroom loft was home of barely used exercise equipment. The wind waft throughout the apartment as one of the occupants snoozed lightly. He was inattentive to the 37'' television set that was showing an action packed movie on the classic channel.
The doorbell rang; the medium built figure jousted out of his steamy dreams. He glided to the door, opening it to none other than the leader of the Z fighters.
"Hey Yamcha, I can't stay long but I was wondering if you could do me a favor," Goku walked in, not realizing it wasn't his friend. "Vegeta and I, well, our anniversary is next week and I was wondering if you could keep this for me. I want it to be a surprise." Goku smiled while handing the small package over.
"Okay, thanks I'll see you tomorrow. Bye." Goku was in and out in a few minutes, never giving him time to talk.
A few minutes later, Yamcha returned. "Hey bro. Some friend of yours came by."
"Really? Who?" Yamcha asked.
"Goku."
"Oh, yeah. What did he say?" Yamcha said as his voice faded into the bedroom.
"Oh, nothing really but he wanted you to keep this for him" Shiru handed Yamcha the small package. Yamcha really didn't think much about it.
"Uh, Yamcha, who's Vegeta?"
Yamcha was in the kitchen opening a bottle of ice cold MGD. He took a swig. "He's Goku's mate"
"Mate?"
"Yeah, to make a long story short, they're Saiyans, who are naturally drawn to each other, and they've been together for a while now." Yamcha said.
"Do they date other people?" Shiru asked, looking innocent.
"No, and don't go getting any ideas."
"That guy was really hot. . ."
"Look bro, leave Goku alone. You don't know Vegeta. If he knew you had the hots for his mate he would kill you." Yamcha finished off his beer and was working on another one. "Listen, I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up later and we can go out for a while"
The medium built fight walked into his room closing the door behind him. His brother could be an impulsive idiot sometimes. He hoped he wouldn't do anything foolish.
~ End Flashback ~
Vegeta remembered that gift. It was a golden charm of his royal insignia. When Kakarott presented it, he kneeled before Vegeta and called him 'My Prince'. . .
How could he have let this happen to his mate? He'd failed in his duties, leaving Kakarott alone and unprotected, knowing full well that that some psycho was out to get him. Now his pregnant and currently defenseless mate was in the hands of a madman. Vegeta had just reacted with anger, never thinking clearly enough to consider what might happen while he was out seeking vengeance.
"Where's your brother?" Vegeta demanded.
"I told you already, Vegeta, I don't know where he's staying now."
"Stop it Ge. Getting mad at Yamcha isn't going to help Goku. Yamcha you go and wake up Isha. We're going to my house to figure out what we're going to do."
The genius took over as leader of the small group. She went back outside, calling Earth's protectors on her cell phone. They had a serious situation on their hands. Goku was missing.
~oOo@oOo~
The rest of the Z fighters were gathered in the Briefs family room. All eyes were on the prince. They knew that his current state was highly unstable. His energy was fluctuating. Sparks of gold highlighted the room letting all of them know not to say one single word to him - if they did his response would fatal.
"Okay, this is what we know" Bulma said as she began to inform every one as what's been going on. "Someone kidnapped Goku. His name is Shiru. . . ," Bulma paused, "Yamcha's twin brother."
A collective gasp was emitted in the large room. Vegeta felt the tension and worry from them, directed toward him. He hated needing their help, having never considered them friends. They had always acted like they were too good for him or didn't; Kakarott was the only one who believed in him.
It was so hard to believe that Yamcha, of all people, had a twin brother. Vegeta wanted nothing more than to have his lover by his side and would do just about anything to get him, but he had to wait. Time was not on his side and he knew it. However, if everything went according to plan that bastard will know the fiery wrath of the Prince of All Saiyans.
~oOo@oOo~
Elsewhere, glazed over pools of black fluttered opened. Goku again found himself unprepared for what he saw.
Across the room was Yamcha, sitting in a chair staring at him. Black eyes were piercing his soul.
"Why are you doing this, Yamcha?" Goku pleaded.
"Yamcha? You think I'm Yamcha? Sorry to disappoint you but I'm not. Funny that we look sooo much alike considering that we're identical twins"
Goku's dark eyes widened. "How? Yamcha never mentioned that he had a brother, let alone a twin. You're lying!" Tears were starting to swell in his eyes.
"We were in a business that required 'special' skills to pull off difficult jobs. However, our last job together didn't go right. The guy nabbed us and left his signature." Shiru absentmindedly stroked his scar on his face.
"Why me? I've never done anything to you. I've never even seen you before."
"Sure you did.it was me at Yamcha's when you brought by that gift," Shiru said, rising to stand at the foot of the bed.
"But, why me?"
"Because. . .when I first saw you I knew that I had to have you," Shiru said, gently stroking Goku's leg.
Goku shivered and struggled against his bonds.
"Yamcha must have told you that I'm already mated," Goku said.
Shiru nodded his head, continuing to trail his fingers up Goku's thigh.
"If you know that then you should also know that Vegeta is never going to give up on finding me."
"That's where you're wrong."
"Why?" Goku asked biting his lower lip nervously.
"The inhibitor keeps your energy signature suppressed. He can't find you."
Shiru moved and lowered himself close to the large male's face, cupping his hand to Goku's cheek. "After all, I wouldn't want unexpected company. Well, not before the birth of my child now would I?"
Goku pulled away from the unwanted touch, straining against the ropes that held him to the bed.
/So, he thinks that the baby is his. Kami, Vegeta where the hell are you?/ Goku thought desperately.
Shiru took hold of Goku's chin and forced him to look at him. Goku glared at him in defiance.
"Maybe you should talk to Bulma about giving drugs to someone that is pregnant?"
"Yeah, and the reason would be?" Shiru said with a smirk.
"Well, for starters it's not good for the baby and two it runs the risk of preterm labor," Goku explained calmly. He was thankful that Isha talked to him about the use of drugs when this bastard attacked him the last time.
Shiru was totally floored. How could he be so stupid not to think about something like that? Vegeta would find him for sure if he didn't continue to give Goku the drug. Goku was 5 ½ months pregnant with 3 ½ more months to go.
"Don't worry you pretty little head about that Goku," he said, running his hand through Goku's hair. "There's no way that I'm letting you go or giving up my child to that animal."
"Vegeta is not an animal. He is my mate. You are the one who is an animal," Goku growled, trying to sound intimidating but it wasn't happening. The effects of the drug were making him all fuzzy in the head. He could feel darkness creeping up on him.
"He's an animal that has out lived his usefulness," he said, lightly tracing designs on Goku's cheek.
"What are you saying?" Goku's heart was beginning to beat wildly in his chest in fear. He didn't like the direction of this conversation.
"I'm saying that Vegeta will meet an untimely death."
Before Goku could protest, Shiru bent down and gave him a bruising kiss. Goku didn't respond, fear for Vegeta leaving him unable to process this. This was going to be the end of him, his babies and his lover. Shiru was going to kill them all without realizing it.
If Shiru had read everything in Bulma's notes on Saiyan mates, he would know that Saiyans mate for life and that if one of them died the other mate would die as well. Even if by some miracle that one would survive, insanity would be a very close friend.

A/N: OMG! How was that?! I know that the chapters are short but that's the only way I can get them out ^_~
I thought for sure you guys would get it, but all of you did have some good guesses. Bet you didn't expect a twin, huh?
What did Shiru mean by 'untimely death'? You think that he's got something up his sleeve for our beloved Prince? Maybe, maybe not. Vegeta's not doing so well. He's feeling the separation from his mate and it's making him a little bit more dangerous. Will the Z fighters find Goku in time? Don't know but stay tuned and find out. Tell me your thoughts and any comments that you might have ^_~

"Quick Bulma! I can't stop the bleeding," Isha said as she ripped opened another pack of gauze. "Oh, Kami! We're losing him!"
Bulma looked up into sad obsidians. She was at a loss. She didn't know what to do as she worked frantically on the prone body on the floor. Tears were marring her vision; she continued to watch the monitor next to her. The bleeps were becoming erratic and then
