"I couldn't tell him no"
by Channonix
Part IX
Dim
light indicating the end of the night and the closeness of the sunrise
was seeping through the curtains into the room, taking out of the darkness
unsteady contours of its furniture and new inhabitant. The room which Gohan
had been living in through whole his childhood, to the moment when he had
built his own house, actually occupied by the prince of the Saiya-jins
who was lying now on the bed, the sheets thrown onto the floor, his eyes
closed and his breathing fast, yet steady, obviously he was asleep... One
could also guess he was dreaming, not a pleasant dream, his features twitching
uncontrollably, the softest moaning escaping his slightly parted lips at
some moment...
He could only watch, floating in the midair, immobilized by some force
he couldn't locate or make it let him go, he could only watch as his other
self was doing what he didn't want to do so much, fucking his little mate,
fucking the girl that wasn't much older than his daughter, who wasn't much
older than himself when Freeza had... He shook his head, he knew it wasn't
real, but he knew as well it was way too close to the reality, this could
happen, still. He knew deep inside that doing this would have made him
feel pleasure, that he was going to enjoy it as his other self was enjoying
it right now. She was his mate, and his Saiya-jin physiology was going
to make him enjoy it, and this was maybe the worst part of this. Like the
worst part of Freeza raping him wasn't the pain he was causing him, but
the pleasure he was making him feel against his will, just stimulating
his body. He hated this feeling since then, hated when his body was betraying
him, as it was right now. He didn't want to lust after her, as a father
of a girl her age and as someone who had lived through it himself in the
past, he didn't want to. But his body wanted. Everything beside his conscious
thoughts wanted. His subconsciousness giving him such a show to watch every
single night... But he couldn't, it was going to hurt them both, not physically,
sharing his ki with him she was strong enough to endure it, but mentally.
Bonded, or not, someone who was fucked as a child wasn't going to turn
out just fine, he knew it well, way too well. Causing her any kind of pain
was going to result in him feeling that pain, watching her own nightmares
to the end of his life or maybe even longer, since Nappa had been saying
that the bond may be stronger than the death, whatever he had been meaning.
And it was going to hurt him as well, feeling pleasure against his will,
hurting someone against his will. He had to admit, he was cruel and capable
of doing terrible things, but he didn't want to do anything he didn't want
to, not anymore. He clenched his fists. There was no way he would let it
happen. No way... His self-control was still better than this, he was sure
about that, he was going to stay in control, for some time at least. But
there was at least ten years of this to come, ten years... Too long, he
knew it was going to happen sooner... He had to do something about it.
Make her older ? Use the dragonballs to make her adult ? Not the best idea,
her body would have turn out one of a woman, but what about her mind ?
Without the experience she would have get and the education, she was going
to be pretty dumb, and he didn't want his royal mate to be a moron. Use
the time machine Bulma should have been capable of building by now to travel
to the future ? No... This was going to mess things up completely, there
had to be his other self in the future, that either had raped her at some
moment of her childhood or had been waiting patiently for her to grow up,
or maybe not, if he was going to end up in the timeline where he had left
her alone for years that only for him seemed like minutes, he could meet
her there, insane, or not to find her at all, dead years ago, because there
was certainly no way she would have stayed fine without him for so long.
They had been apart for four days and it was making them crazy... So, there
was no way other but to wait... He had to, and he was going to wait, but
the day or most likely night he was going to finally have his hands on
her, he was going to enjoy it beyond the imagination, make it pure oblivion,
not unwanted, guilty pleasure his other self was feeling fucking a child
and the same destroying all he could still have. He wasn't going to be
that stupid. He took his hand up and created a ki-ball that shoot in their
direction, hitting some barrier on its way and making it explode
into the pieces of the broken glass, along with the image of them, disappearing
like if it had never existed.
" Vejita !" Shouted Gokou coming into the Gohan's old room. He spotted another warrior fully dressed, staying near the window and looking down at the yard. He smiled realizing that Vejita hadn't notice him coming in at all and approached him silently looking down as well. There was nothing special to draw older Saiya-jin's attention, just Goten training Pan. " Vejita !"
Vejita turned around almost immediately. There was Kakkarotsu standing next to him, smiling cheerfully. How that happened that he hadn't notice him coming in ? He had been telling Chibi through their mental link not to reveal her ability to turn Super Saiya-jin, he had already a clear idea who should be the first to get to know. But still, he shouldn't have let his guard down that much. Doing so more often Kakkarotsu could begin thinking of him as weak.
" What ?" He asked harshly.
" Breakfast will be ready in a while. Maybe we'll spar a bit until then ?"
" No."
" Uhm... What ?" Asked Gokou uncertainly. Vejita was acting weird last times but to refuse a spar ? Him ? He had had to misheard.
" You heard it, baka: I won't spar with you, I decided I won't fight anymore."
" But... Vejita... Do you feel well ? Maybe I'll get you a sensu ?" Asked Gokou uncertainly not too sure if the sensu will heal a brain injury, since it had never healed his. Vejita really had had to hit his head...
Vejita gave him a chilling look that sent shivers down his spine. He laughed dumbly not knowing how to deal with another Saiya-jin anymore.
" Uhm... So, the breakfast will be ready soon. Come downstairs." Said Gokou and still smiling came out.
Vejita smirked. Never before had he seen Kakkarotsu that confused and uneasy. And it was really funny sight. Fucking funny... He chuckled a bit before coming back to the window and looking his mate fight. At least she was a fighter, unlike the mother of his children. Bulma... She was going to get to know that he was alive soon, and he was going to have to face her then. Damn, this wasn't going to be a pleasant encounter. He noticed Goten and Chibi coming into the house, so the breakfast was ready. He turned around and headed downstairs, coming into the kitchen after a minute. All were already there, whole Kakkarotsu's family except from Gohan, he had to be at the university, he wasn't giving a fuck anyway. Kakkarotsu was still looking at him like if he was crazy or something. Moron should have looked at himself... Baka's mate seemed to fear him still, good, at least she wouldn't make him problems. Goten seemed uneasy by his presence, as well as Gohan's mate, but fuck them. And Chibi... was looking up at him with pure admiration shining in her eyes. He wondered why, what worth admiring had she found in him, knowing all he had done and who he really was deep inside better than anyone else. There was empty place left for him, just next to her. He sat down and began eating, regardless to others. Kakkarotsu's mate was way better cook than Bulma and her cooking bots, the meal was really delicious, still, he restrained himself from eating it Kakkarotsu-style, in a minute and making impossible mess all around. He finished by licking his lips off remnants and was going to stand up and fly somewhere far away when he felt a ki-signature he knew all too well... Bulma, either Trunks had felt him and told her he was alive or she just wanted to visit Kakkarotsu. Anyway, he was going to face her sooner than he had excepted. Going away now wasn't the best idea, it would show that he feared, at least one could think like that, and Kakkarotsu would have said her that he was staying at his place anyway. So he stayed and waited patiently till she would get there with her air car. At least she was alone, at least his children wouldn't interfere, and she would be the one to tell them that he wouldn't come back, ever. No one beside Chibi was capable of feeling or seeing his uncertainty, but from her, there was nothing he could hide. She reassured him though he knew she wasn't even understanding why was he uneasy. By the time Bulma landed and knocked at the door.
" Come in !" Shouted Chi-Chi who, unlike others, seemed to be oblivious of who was knocking.
Bulma opened the door and came in, looking around the room and almost immediately spotting Vejita. Her blue eyes looking at him with both hurt and hope.
" Vejita, we're going home."
" No, woman." She had just addressed him like if he was a brat, like if she could tell him what to do. And, damn, she couldn't.
" Why ?" She asked, her voice trembling a bit.
" Because I decided so. Whatever was between us, and it never was what you weaklings call love, is over now."
" But... Vejita, I'm not angry at you for what you did, ever."
" That doesn't matter. I have another reason."
" Reason ?" Asked Gokou softly.
" What a reason ?" Asked Bulma.
" That's none of your fucking business, woman, or yours, for that matter, Kakkarotsu." He said smirking at the shocked look on their faces.
" Vejita, you were saying you wanted to improve..." Said Gokou.
" So, what ? Improving doesn't mean coming back to her, I just don't feel drown to her anymore."
" You should, you two are married, and have kids."
" Is there someone else, Vejita ? You found yourself another woman ?!" Asked Bulma, not her voice alone but whole her body trembling, he couldn't decide, in fury or sorrow.
He didn't want to see her hurt, he wasn't enjoying it as he had been enjoying making her angry for some stupid reasons throughout all those years they had spent together. But he couldn't come back to her, he had to stay near Chibi, and he truly didn't feel drawn to the woman in any way. He was through with her, for him it was over. Why couldn't she just accept it ? And was she really suspecting that there may be someone else, or was she just saying like that for no apparent reason ?
" Maybe..." He said smirking. This should be enough to shut her up. And to figure out what was between him and Chibi was impossible for those morons knowing nothing about Saiya-jin bonding.
Her blue eyes widened.
" Who ?"
" You wouldn't want to know. " He said standing up. If she wasn't going to stop bothering him, he was going to leave, and let Kakkarotsu soothe her for as long as they wished to.
" Vejita, we have children together." She said turning to him as he passed her on his way to the front door.
" So what ?"
" They need a father."
" I'm not going anywhere. They know how to find me. I will still defend them, and you. I'm not capable of much more anyway."
" You will divorce me ?"
" Only if you want to. For me that means nothing, just another stupid human custom." He said stopping in the doorframe and turning to her. " Now, go away. I think it's useless for you to stay here." He said and was going to blast into the air but didn't, seeing her running to her air car, tears filling her blue eyes. Maybe she shouldn't have been driving in such a state... Like if he cared... Kakkarotsu followed her, he stopped him as he was passing by. " Kakkarotsu, teleport the woman to Capsule, she will hit something driving in such a conditions."
Gokou looked down at Vejita and blinked. So, he cared... so why had he told her to go away ? Vejita had been always hard to figure for him, not to mention for everyone else as well, but now, things got even more complicated, once he was behaving like he had tended to, next minute he was different, more open, less arrogant. He wondered what could have possibly changed him so much... But now, he had to stop Bulma from driving and get her home, then there would be the time to talk to Vejita.
" Bulma, wait !" He shouted running after her.
Vejita turned around and headed inside dismissing the thought of flying
somewhere. He just didn't want to see the woman crying anymore. Chibi was
standing near the door, she looked up at him, their gazes locking for the
shortest moment. She reassured him once again, though she still wasn't
understanding all of this, she had figured out that she was the cause,
and she could see Bulma's pain, and she was sad that she had hurt her.
He could deny it, but this would have been a lie, yes, he was doing this
for and because of her. She lowered her gaze to the floor as he was passing
her. Their mating wasn't going to be easy, she needed to get used to the
fact that this was hurting others. Once the truth would be revealed both
their families would be shocked and hurt, and she would have to stand it.
He went upstairs, not bothered by anyone else, to his bedroom and sat down
on the bed waiting at Kakkarotsu who was going to come for sure and demand
the explanation, and he had to give him some hiding the truth all the same.
Few minutes later he heard a knock at the door. Kakkarotsu came in without him telling him to and approached him. He was serious, not angry or anything, just calm and serious.
" Why did you tell her this ?"
" I told her the truth."
" So you lied to me yesterday telling that you're going to come back to her later, only you need the time. That's why I let you stay here."
" You want to throw me out of here, Kakkarotsu ?" He asked smirking though deep inside the thought was disturbing him. He needed to stay near Chibi.
" That's not the matter. I want to know what's going on with you."
" I'm changing, I have to admit. I have my reasons to this but I don't wish to talk about it."
" I thought you wanted to be better, Vejita. But leaving your wife and kids isn't making you a better man."
" I know it, baka."
" What was this about other woman ?"
" You want to know, Kakkarotsu, truly know ? I don't love the woman, or Bulma, for that matter, I never did, but I think I fell in love with someone else, at least I think that I did. I don't want to lie to Bulma, that's why we can't be together." He said before standing up and heading to the doors. He needed to leave before the questions from stunned Kakkarotsu would come, he had already revealed too much, way too much.
" Vejita, wait. I can see you don't want to tell who is she, but tell me something else. Does she despise the aggression ? Is that why you don't want to fight anymore ?"
" No. I don't want to fight for another reason." You are that reason, for that matter...
He closed the door leaving Kakkarotsu alone there and headed downstairs. Kakkarotsu's mate, Gohan's mate and his younger brat weren't there. It seemed they had left with Bulma. One person he spotted there was Chibi, sitting on a chair in the kitchen. Seeing him coming in she jumped down and ran to him.
" Vejita-san. I'm sad. We hurt Bulma-san."
" Yeah, we did." He nodded. There was no point in denying it.
" I didn't want to..."
" I know. That's all my fault." It was truth. He was the one to bite her in the first place and make them mate. Every time she would suffer because they were bonded it would be his fault.
" It... It hurts me that we hurt her." She whispered hugging his leg.
He kneeled down and she clung to him again, burying her face into his chest.
" Listen, Chibi. This isn't only because of you and me. Things between me and Bulma weren't right for some time now, it would end up like this anyway."
" Re... Really ?" She asked looking up at him.
He smiled down at her, and after a moment she smiled back.
" You didn't let anyone know you can turn Super Saiya-jin ?"
" No..."
" In a moment Kakkarotsu, I mean your grandfather, will be here. Ask him to spar, and don't restrain this time. Use your full potential."
She nodded. Then she hugged him tightly once again, her little body
clinging to his, her arms trying to wrap around his waist though they were
too short to do so. He smiled once again, lowering his head and burying
his nose in her black hair. She was smelling like a Saiya-jin, all about
her was more Saiyan than human, despite the fact she was only quarter-breed.
Maybe she got it from fighting, maybe because both her grandmother and
mother were humans, but still fighters, maybe that just happened, for no
apparent reason, the fact was that she was more Saiyan than both his brats
put together, and they had less human blood in their veins. The fact was
that she was a Saiyan female, not different from those full-blooded, and
that she was his mate, mate he always deserved as the prince of his race.
Gokou shook his head to clear his dazed mind. Vejita really was changing, which didn't mean less complicated and easier to figure and understand. It seemed he just had to deal with it, he was only angry that Bulma suffered from this, but yet again if Vejita didn't love her, found another woman, it was maybe better that way than him cheating on her. He wondered who may be that woman anyway... Yet again, it was none of his business. He turned and left the bedroom, heading downstairs. He passed the living room going to the kitchen. He was already hungry despite the fact that the breakfast was mere hour ago, his stomach just was like that and he had to deal with him, not that he minded. He needed to grab a snack. He entered the kitchen through the half-opened door and froze, there, near the table, Vejita was kneeling and holding Pan in his arms, and he was smiling doing so, really smiling. What was going on ? When had they managed to become friends ? And since when Vejita was making friends, especially with children ? He scratched the back of his head looking them curiously for several minutes. Weird... Vejita was weird... And weird things were happening last times... And he just couldn't figure out what was going on...

Next chapter will be the last in that timeline. Then I'll jump ten years forward. And, I have a question, should Veggie still call Pan Chibi then ?
