"I couldn't tell him no"
by Channonix

Part VIII





Vejita was breathing deeply, trying hard to control himself as not to storm into the house and go to look for Chibi immediately. Kakkarotsu wasn't making it any easier for him, standing in front of him, smiling gently and looking at him cautiously, a bit confused at the same time. Confused about what ? That they were going to live together ? And what was confusing about it ? His fists clenched at his sides on their own accord, that need to go to Chibi, to answer at her calling getting greater and greater as the seconds were passing. Just then, his slightly dazed mind came with a possible cause of Kakkarotsu's confusion, causing him to smirk and relax a bit. Yeah, Kakkarotsu wasn't that sure about letting him live with his family after he had thought he could seduce his precious wife. It was so fucking funny he couldn't stop himself from chuckling a bit.

" What's wrong with you, Vejita ? You're acting weird."

Oh, so you want to know, Kakkarotsu... I'm mated with your seven-years-old grandaughter and she's stubborn as hell, that's what's wrong with me. I'm sure you wouldn't act any less weird if you were me.

" Nothing's wrong, baka." He said, heading to the entrance of the house himself since Kakkarotsu obviously wasn't going to invite him in.

" You don't want to get your things from Capsule first ? I mean clothes, toothbrush, things..."

" I already got it, Kakkarotsu. I have it with me, capsulised."

Kakkarotsu stopped at the doorsill.

" Really ? When did you get it ?"

" That's none of your fucking business."

" Yeah, I knew you were going to say it." Agreed Gokou as they walked in. " You may come down now !" He approached the stairs and shouted to those up there. Not turning, he looked on his left to see Vejita. He was standing there, seemingly emotionless, as usual, but there was something wrong, weird about him, no matter what he was saying about it himself, he was nervous and uneasy. Gokou wondered why, and how that happened that he had heard Vejita apologizing for his past deeds. Definitely, something weird was going on with Vejita. First, he had attacked him and tried to kill Bulma, only to come to beg him for a place to stay and for forgiveness a few days later. He couldn't figure it out, but maybe he would eventually, now, when they were probably going to spend more time together training and sparring.

Slowly, Gohan came downstairs, followed closely by the others. His eyes widened as he noticed Vejita standing down there, next to his father. Vejita was looking miserable, and his ki was unusually weak, so he couldn't be dangerous, but still... What was he doing in their house considering he had been trying to kill his father not even a week ago ?

" Father, what's Vejita-san doing here ?"

" I invited him to stay here, he needs a place to live. We talked, what he did was a mistake, he decided to change... Living with us may help him, and besides that, I'm taking the responsibility for him as long as he's staying here. " Said Gokou, looking closely at Chi-Chi. He hoped she would be ok about it... anyway, he knew she wouldn't.

" You did what, Gokou-san ?! Did I mishear you ?! And please, take him out of here, now !" She screamed from up the stairs.

Vejita crossed his arms over his chest and clenched his teeth even more. He was so close to Chibi, so damned close... and still couldn't get to her... Her calling in his mind merged with her whisper, which he could hear, he didn't know how since even his sharpened Saiay-jin hearing shouldn't have been letting him. So close... It was causing him almost physical pain, burning in his skull, it was driving him crazy and he knew that if that damned woman was going to try to stop him, she was going to die, here and now, fuck the consequences.

Chi-Chi opened her mouth to continue her furious screaming. She wasn't going to let Vejita stay here, there was no way she would let it happen. He had hurt her son, husband, and friends countless times in the past. No matter how many chances they had given him, it had been always ending the same, and she knew it already that if he would be living in her house, someone from her family was going to suffer from it again. She looked down at him, from the top of the stairs, and he looked up at her, their gazes locking for the briefest moment. There was real madness shining in his black eyes, madness that caused her to gasp, there was a death wish, for her, Kami, he was going to kill her... He had to notice the look of panic on her face, he smirked and looked away.

" He may stay in Gohan's old room. But I don't wish to see him ! And keep a wary eye on him !"

Gokou blinked in surprise. He hadn't been thinking this would be that easy.

" Thanks, Chi-Chi..." He muttered. " Vejita, I have to leave for a while. Pan's ill and I have to take her to the hospital. Find yourself something to eat, by the time you're done I'll be back."

" Pan ?"

" Yeah, Gohan's daughter." He explained, heading upstairs.

So, this was his mate's name, Pan... And this was his last chance to get to her before they would take her somewhere where no one would be able to help her anyway. He needed just a few minutes with her alone, to get them both to normal.

" So... What's wrong with her ?" Asked Vejita like if he didn't care at all.

Gokou stopped and turned back to him. Since when was Vejita that curious about his family member's health, about anyone's health besides his own ?

" She's been unconcious for a few days, we don't know why. Something bit her neck, so maybe that's why. But still, we don't know how to wake her up, even Gohan doesn't know, and he's a doctor."

Vejita raised an eyebrow slightly and licked his lips. Now, say it right and he'll let you go to her...

" I'll heal her from that... uhm... disease. I'm the one here who knows the most about the Saiya-jin physiology, after all. "

" But... Vejita... How ? Why ?"

" That's none of your business how, I just need a moment with her alone. Be grateful that I'm even offering to do this."

" Gohan, maybe we should let him try ?" Asked Gokou uncertainly. He wondered if Vejita could really do something more for Pan than human medicine could. Maybe he was right; she was partially Saiya-jin and could suffer from some alien illnesses.

Gohan considered it for a moment.

" I bet this can't make it worse, only better, if anything." He said.

For the briefest moment, as Gokou led the way to Pan's room, Vejita's eyes flashed with unusal happiness. Gokou left him there alone and closed the door.

" Vejita-san..." She whispered once again, still unconcious.

Her voice echoed in his mind, strange warmth filling his soul inside at the mere sight of her, laying in her little bed, wrapped firmly in baby blue sheets, her teddy bear next to her. It was more than pitiful, how she was looking, it was just funny that his royal mate was a spoiled human brat. He knelt down next to her bed and reached for her tiny hand lying on the sheets.

" Hey, brat. Wake up !" He said softly, squeezing her hand lightly.

Slowly, she opened her shining black eyes glowing with joy at the sight of him and before he had the time to do anything about it she hugged him, wrapping her little arms around his neck.

A single jolt of pleasure shot down his spine as he inhaled her sweet scent. His mate's scent, it should have been turning him on, but damn, she was a brat and he didn't want it. He felt sick realizing he was getting aroused, lusting for a kid. He pushed her away and stood up going away to a safe distance.

Her eyes widened and he saw hurt there. He was hurting her by forbidding her contact with him, but damn, he wasn't going to fuck her till she became a woman, so at least not in the next ten years, no matter if that madness that the bonding had caused in both of them was making her want it or not.

" Vejita-san ?" There was a reproach in her voice.

He stopped in the doorway and half-turned to her.

" Listen, brat. I'm going to stay here for some time but that doesn't mean I'm going to be any closer to you. First, we can't let anyone know, if you tell anyone anything about us and what we were doing, you know what will happen: your precious parents would stop loving you, wouldn't want to see you again ! So, do it, if you think I'm really worth this. And, don't come close to me, no hugging, no talking, anything ! If you do I may hurt you in a way that's going to change both our lives into hell... Till you're older the mental contact has to be enough for you." He said, before going away and closing the door behind him. Once in the corridor, he breathed deeply, trying hard to get lost of her scent in his nostrils, of the sight of the hurt in her eyes engraved in his memory, but he knew already that this was going to hunt him. If he had been thinking that Chibi could be just a source of peace for his hurt soul, source of warmth for his chilling memories, he had been wrong, completely wrong. If she would have been an adult woman things would be easier, but mating with a kid seemed now like another ten years of fighting with his instincts, sick enough as to make him lust for her, and fighting with her instincts, that were going to get stronger, much stronger, when she would start to mature, fighting with the power of the bond that was trying to get them together regardless of anything, even the laws of nature. And, what was maybe the worst part of this, he knew that he was going to lose, as he had lost earlier that day, sooner or later, but lose nonetheless.
