Chapter 4: Questions and answers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As they finished up their lunch they started to clean and put away the dishes.
"Phoenix I want you to go back to school and get the worked you missed and your homework." Kakkarot said turning to his daughter.
"Ah man! I just knew somehow this day would turn out bad!" She said sulking as she finished putting away the rest of the dishes.
"It's not that bad! So move it little missy!" Kakkarot said frowning. "Me and your friend Vegeta here can get to know one another while your gone." He said pointing to Vegeta with his head smirking a bit.
"Fine but you better not do anything to scare him off got that?" She whispered to him then started for the door but not before giving Vegeta a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving.
When she was gone he motioned to Vegeta to follow him to the living room so they could talk. Kakkarot sat in his easy chair while Vegeta sat on the couch looking a bit curious with a hint of nervousness.
"Calm down my prince, I only want to answer your questions cause I know you have some." Kakkarot said calmly.
That seemed to calm the prince down some but his curiosity raised even more when he called him by his title. He raised an eyebrow as he said "you know that I'm the prince? Then you lived on planet Vegetasei and were not sent to another planet like other children. So why are you living here and not back home?"
Kakkarot sighed and leaned back in his chair. "It's a long story kid, most of my daughter doesn't even know. I'll tell you the most important parts now seeing that Phoenix might come back and hear something I don't want her to hear. If you want to know more then wait till tomorrow or another day when my girl goes to school alright?" He explained to the prince.
Vegeta nodded in understandment.
Kakkarot started telling his story "I lived on Vegetasei yes till I was about your age. One day me and my family went on a vacation to this planet where I fell in love with this human... well I thought at the time she was any ways..." He paused then continued again "I spent my vacation with her but when it was time for me to leave I refused. My father understood how I felt so he let me stay on my own, only visiting me twice since then, one of which is when Phoenix was born and the second time was when my mate died. He tried to get me to go back with him but I refused again wanting my daughter to get an education and not go from planet to planet like the other Saiyans. That's mostly the basics right there. Any short questions?"
"Yes you said that your mate wasn't human, then what was she?" Vegeta asked.
"...... I found out after Phoenix was born that she was a-" Kakkarot tried to say but quickly stopped when he heard the door close and Phoenix walked towards the living room.
Phoenix stopped at the entry of the living room and glared at her father. "You just had to send me back didn't you! I got homework for a week to go with my week of suspension! As my head didn't hurt as it is!" She exclaimed angrily not raising her voice much knowing all three of them had sensitive ears.
Kakkarot held back his laughter and asked "why did you get suspended?"
"For leaving the school in the middle of a class without permission." She said as she sighed.
"Guess I'm to blame for that." Vegeta said shyly. "Hmm... how about I pay for it too? I can help you with that homework." He said looking at Phoenix then turning to her father looking for acceptance.
Kakkarot nodded. "Help but don't do it all she needs to learn how to do it. While you guys are doing that I'll go to the store and get some things for our supper tonight." He said then left the house.
Phoenix went over to Vegeta, took his hand and lifted him from his seat. She then walked with him up to her room to start on her homework wanting to finish it as fast as she can so she can have more time to get to know Vegeta better.

On Vegetasei... on a space ship dock....
Bardock had gathered his sons and was about to lift off. Everyone inside had a worried expression on their face knowing they might suffer the wrath of the king for not telling him of his son's disappearance. Bardock pushed a few buttons and they were off.
~I hope the prince will come to his senses...~ Bardock thought as they drifted nearer and nearer to their destination.
~~~
Vegeta and Phoenix had finished almost all the homework the rest that was left neither of them understood so they let it be. Vegeta was lying on his back with Phoenix resting her head on his chest. He was mindlessly playing with her hair softly while humming the song he sang to her earlier.
"So Vegeta would you tell me about Vegetasei?" Phoenix asked him in a half asleep voice.
"Didn't your father tell you anything about that?" Vegeta asked back.
"Not much. He just told me the name and a bit about customs, besides I want to hear it from your point of view any ways." Phoenix said snuggling closer to him.
~Great...I hate being reminded of those stupid customs... now all I got to do is watch what I say or she might find out who I am then my chance to take her as my mate is over...~ Vegeta though a bit worried. He sighed and began his little tale of his home world. "Vegetasei is kinda like Chikyuu but it's about half the size and the coloring is more darker than here. The planet is inhabited by huge creatures that are about the size of three above average size Saiyans. The place is pretty much dull if you ask me. I like it a lot better here, especially with you." He said then lifted her head and kissed her.
They wrapped their arms legs and tails together as the kissed deepened. As things started to heat up everything cooled down completely as they hear the front door close and hear Kakkarot's voice, telling them to come down and help him. They caught their breaths and ran downstairs as ordered.
~~~
Mean time in space, Bardock's ship was half way to Chikyuu. Since his ship was one of the fastest on their planet they would get there in 2 hours time.
Everyone in the ship was nervous and scared at what the prince not to mention the king would do to them. They decided to get some rest to build up their energy cause they knew they would need it.
