Decending

Chapter 1 ::The Mission::

Gohan shifted uncomfortably in his chair. He was waiting for the King Vegeta to come into the small office. He had been pulled off of his mission, to be imformed about something new. Something that the king thought he could do.

Bardock and his two sons burst through the door. "What's the meaning of this? The Carbloins could strike any moment! We should be out there saving or planet!" Raditz yelled. GOku noticed his son and sat down next to him.

"Ignore Raditz. His wife made him a bit..."

Raditz looked at him. "Kakorott! You have not right to tell him that! And your wife isn't all sunshine herself."

Goku blushed. "Speaking of mates..." he turned back to gohan. "Don't you have one yet?"

Gohan blushed. He was embarrased now. He was 18 and didn't even have a mate chosen. If he didn't get one by 20, he would have one chosen for him. "No."

Bardock gasped. "How can you not? An average saiyan is supposed to settle down and get a mate by 16!"

GOhan only blushed more. He shrugged. "I'm not ready for one and plus I don't want one."

Goku grinned. Raditz smirked. "Oh yes you will. Maybe not now, but you will. Oh, you will."

Gohan got clueless. He was about to ask what he ment, but the king burst into the room. "Silence Kakorott."

Goku nodded and bowed. "Yes your hiness."

The king looked at the four men all wanting to know why they are there. He took a deep breath. "I presume you're wondering why you're here? Am I correct?"

All of them nodded in usion. THe king proceded. "Very well. One of our primary missions to destroy a planet in our path to Chinkus, backfired. I, among the four of you are going to this planet to destroy it."

Gohan nodded. "What's the name?"

"Planet Earth. I would be sending one of my troops to do it, but I noticed that there are beings on that planet that may cause a threat to them. But I am going and you four are as my backup. GOhan-"

GOhan looked up. "Yes sir?"

"You are my best man. THen the rest of you follow. Understood? Good. You don't have a choice to go on this. You're one of the top wariors on my board. You must succide. Dissmissed."

All four men got up and left the small room. Gohan stopped to look at a boar posted right outside the door. He searched for his name, which was near the middle. He grinned. Only a few months ago, he had been at the bottom of the board, and now he was in the center. He was thrilled.

Less than thrilled than his mother was.

"GOHAN!" she yelled again and again. THe same ear peircing way that had every saiyan for miles covering their ears.

"Yes mom?"

"WHen are you going to settle down? WHen are you going to have a life?"

GOhan shrugged. "I don't want a mate, ma. THey just pull you down. I can't have a mate if I want to be the top on the board."

CHi-Chi got red with anger. Her tail wraped around the spandex she was wearing.

(A/N: Can you imagen Chi-Chi wearing spandex? The kind Vegeta wears all the time? I didn't think so.)

All the women on Vegeta wore blue spandex shaped like a bathing suit, with white armor around it. The men wore black spandex instead of blue.

"MOm, look. I don't have time for a mate."

Chi-Chi looked at him with anger in her eyes. "I don't care about that damn board thing you keep talking about! I may be a saiyan and fighting my be importan to me, but I have to draw the line somewhere! Gohan, give me one good reason other than that board thingy that you shouldn't have a mate."

GOhan thought for a moment. "Saffrass didn't have a mate."

Chi-Chi frowned. "Yes but look at him now! No heirs, all alone!"

"You do know that mating and having children are two different things, correct? What if I was to mate, but had no children. What would you say then?"

"I would say get another mate!"

"YEah! Well it's not like they come in pakages you know!"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah!"

"Why don't you mate with Riokko? She's taken a licking in you. SHe come here every day to ask for you. But no. Your off training to impress our great prince, not caring who you mate with!"

"I do care mom." GOhan tried to explain.

Chi-CHi looked at the clock. "Well times running out young man! You should have had a mate two years ago when you were 16! And now your 18 still with no mate. The full moon is soon. You know what you have to go through when you don't have you mate by then. You've done it for two years."

GOku walked up to Chi-Chi and kissed her cheek and went back to the other room. Saiyan men respected women very much. They out numbered them one hundred to one. IF they let one go, another would snatch her up.

"Why don't you like Riokko? she's a sweet girl."

Gohan rubed his neck. "SHe keeps raising her ki when she's around me."

Chi-CHi touched his shoulder. "OH cheer up. iT's only proving that she likes you. All women do it."

GOhan fumbled with his scouter. "YEah, but it's annoying. She's getting wrong signals. SHe thinks I'm playing hard to get but I'm not."

Chi-Chi grinned. "You are."

Gohan's jaw dropped. "Am not! How am I playing hard to get?"

Chi-Chi giggled. "First off the bat, denying it."

Gohan grumbled something and saw his father walk back into the room for something to drink. "Dad! Tell her that I have the right to chose my own mate!"

Goku stopped in his tracks and looked from his wife to his son. He grinned. "sorry gOhan. You're on your own."

Gohan sighed. He wondered why he even bothered to enter these pissing contest with his mother in the firstplace.
