17. The haunting


Vegeta massaged her temples. Faintly knowing this headache. Two hands reached down and kneaded her shoulders as she shot up and flew in a corner. Having walls in her back she heaved in shock. With big eyes she eyed the male across the room. And sunk down grabbing her heart region.

"By Dendedo thatyou'll kill me" She stammered blue in the face.
"Your jumpy." The original Vegeta strolled to the view port and glanced outside.

"Nice shipyour jumpy. Bad for your health" Vegeta sputtered back at him.

"Well I had a shitty day!"
"Wonder why I was kicked here again" Glanced up and yanked the halo. Not again
"Well" hopeful she rose. "Ever heard of Burori?" she clasped her hands together as he stood rigid. Turning slowly around.

"Thought as muchGRAMPA!!! He wants me!" she ran to him and fled in his arms wailing. "Has three" sob. "Saiya-jins and I agreed to a meeting!! But now I'm not so sure and Zorn freaked out on me and"

"Zorn? Wait! Recap! First of all you grew! ALLOT." He picked up her chin and eyed her over.
"Hmmhe was rightwell I can live with myself." Soar she eyed him still with her head pushed up.

"Gramps? Who was right about what?"
"Never mind.
"How many Saiya-jin are on this ship? It's invested with high ki's! Don't tell me the Chikyuu-jin got this strong!"
"Notheir Saiya-jin all right. We picked a few upfirst Bardock. Don't know how he came. I was trapped and he saved me. Then" she thought back "Oh before that. On a planet Gokuu touched this blue watery energy field and Solan flopped down before our feet. And his crew was stuck in an empty Volcano, and I broke them free. Bloody hurt more then his"

"Makes you hardand?"
"Well BardockGokuu you knew. And then Bardock was depressed and we found wishing welland how the others came I don't knowthey were there when I woke"
"With other wordsthis ship is invested with should be dead Saiya-jin"

"Uh-huh. Kind of. And couples too. Lets see, I ordered Zorn to go to Celipa, because she liked him and he didn't her. AndSolan and Jewel andChichi even with Jazz"
"Chichi??? THAT BANSHEE?" Vegeta cried.
"Yes and then we have"

"Chichi??? What the hell is she doing here" Vegeta brushed the last words away as Vegeta shrugged. Fine then don't hear. Smirking she eyed her counterpart.

"You know, I'm no virgin anymore, had 2 lovers" She leered. Vegeta covered his ears.
"SHUP UP!!! I don't want to KNOW. Whom I slept with through YOU. So DON'T!"

"Fine, then don't. see if I CARE. Still an old goat. So what made you visit poor me?" breaking free from his hands she glared at him cross from the desk.

"Probably helping with Burori." He mused. Suddenly the ship entered hyperspace. Amazed Vegeta eye the colour changes.
'Hyper speed. Nothing more." She muttered.

"For you it's normal. Not meDid the briefs build this?" she laughed.
"Nope, nicked it fair and square. From Burori to be exact." He turned laughing.
"NiceNow then, If I were youwhich I am. I would call him up and gloat"
"I did" She smirked back. He nodded.
"And that's when you noticed he was stronger?"

"Kinda. He turned green gold. Dead giveaway."
"Well Kakarott and I killed a legendary with great difficultyhe even came back once. But Gohan took him outinto a sun." she smirked and clasped her hands.

"EASY! We just blast him into the sun!"
"Don't get your hopes up so soon. Figured he had a child. Paragus would see to that"
"Paragus?"
"That poor child" he lingered on in his memories as she sighed. Old men "Paragus was his father and a fool. He made his son crazy with his mind controlling devicesBurori lost it. Tried to destroy us and take Chikyuu, well his fathers plans anyway. Which were trashed when he broke free" He turned to her and smirked oddly. "Seemed theyKakarott and Burori had a little chibi fete. That idiotic Kakarott made him cry. Hint? Never make a legendary cry as an infant? No chibi's as a matter of fact. If born on the same day,. The one made to cry will instinctively will want to destroy his tormentor." Vegeta cracked up as she blinked.

"That Burori only had eyes for Kakarott! Boy he was a crackpot"

* * *


Gokuu sat in the sickbay after Zorn left again. Had an injection and was fine nowthough he had this strange look in his eyes of pure amazement and terror. Suddenly his father appeared from thin air and crunched before him looking stunned.

"Heyyou grew!" And started beaming. Gokuu eyed the man then sweat dropped.
"Dad? Where is your ah" He touched his left cheek trailing his supposed scar. The face blinked.
"Well I never had ah" he trailed his left cheek bemused.

"And what's with your clothes dad?" Gokuu leaned back as he eyed the attire. "Since when do you walk around like I have as a chibi? Blue orange?"
"Huh? OH. Now I see. Look I am Gokuu! Remember?" Gokuu eyed his namesake. Two Gokuu'sHOLD ON! He jumped excited up.

"GRAMPS?" Gokuu nodded. Who looked over his shoulder.
"Your dadhe's here." Gokuu stammered, scratching his scull with ring hovering above it. Bardock was speechless as he eyed the twins. Gokuu senior blinked, turned to Gokuu jr and pointed at Bardock.

"Is he?" Gokuu nodded smirking. Bardock gulping as a doctor walked over confused.
"I" Bardock stalked over. Frustration at his confusion evident.

"Okay bratswho of you is real!" Both smiled at him and clasped arms.
"We both are." They stated in union.
"Ah idea. Dad? I'm Gokuu" Gokuu stated. "And this is Carrot" Sour senior eyed him.
"Isn't it Kakarott?"

"But he's DEAD." Bardock stammered. Coy Kakarott swung his ring to Bardock, who never caught it because it was catapulted back above his head.
"Hence the ring?" He stated chiding.
"Greatso yourmy real son?" He glanced thoughtful up before smirking dark. "Zorn eat your heart outhehehe."
"Now why would he do that dad?"
"Because he thought, I'd never meet Kakarott." Gokuu ah-ed as Kakarott eyed both funny. Fidgeting nervous. His lips pouting and wanting something. Ignoring this Bardock walked around him, inspecting every inch.

"Strong, just as long as me and Gokuusuper SaiyanNO TAIL?" Bardock whirled Kakarott around. "YOUR TAIL!"
"Sorry about that" He replied sullen.
"But stillmy bratmy own, true, second? Brat!" Harshly Kakarott was crushed against Bardock's chest. Nearly squeezing the dead? Life from him. Kakarott happily allowed it. His DAD! Looked for him in hellbut never found him. Bardock pulled back worried.

"Did I hurt you? NAH you're a super Saiya-jin!" and pulled him back again with Gokuu whom he crushed while musing happy.
"Twins"
"Ohfather? Could youlet go now? I wanna see if Vegeta came too"
"Vegeta is in the command room being her unlovable self." Bardock responded allowing both wrinkled men to pull away.
"Not current Vegeta, old Vegeta!" before Bardock could reply Kakarott ran out, doors whooshing open again as Gokuu and Bardock stormed after him.

* * *

In the hall Jazz munched on a sandwich.

"Hi Gokuu." Kakarott waved as he ran on.
"Hi Gokuu?" Gokuu waved.
"Uh Bardock?" Bardock ran past. Jazz pulled out the sandwich and eyed it before throwing it in an airlockspoiled meat


Kakarott skittering to a halt peering about as Jewel walked along.

"Umhow do I get to the bridge?" he asked confused.
"Awful dress code hun. Umtry the elevator." And walked on snickering. Vegeta must have hit him or something. Silly boy.

Nodding Kakarott stepped into an elevator with Ronin inside.
"Hi kid. Wassup with the clothes?" Kakarott sighed.
"Always comments. It's what I ware okay?" Ronin snickering backed away.
"Only asking. Mom always taught me never to get a super Saiya-jin angry at poor me." Kakarott smiled.
"Smart woman."
"Thanks. Unfortunate she went with a blast"
"Sorry about that" Kakarott eyed him as he shrugged.
"Ah hated her guts." The door opened and in they walked into the bridge. Zorn turned bored around in his chair and howled at Ronin who was 1 minute late.

"Yeah-yeahshish, didn't get laid or something?" Ronin muttered as he took his seat. Kakarott barely moved aside as Zorn hit his fist into the mans face.

"One warning! Second your dead!" soar Ronin flopped in his chair. Damned grouch.
"Um sir? Vegeta?"
"In there." Zorn replied as he flopped back in his chair. Nodding weary Kakarott walked to the door and entered. Peering around before crying out in glee.


"Vegeta!" two turned around as the senior groaned.
"Should have known" stunned Vegeta eyed her grampa and sighed deep.

"Look old man, if your going to get pissed at him again get out of this room. Unlike some BICKERING couples, I have real issues." She poked Vegeta in the chest. "GROW UP." Vegeta senior snorted.

"You've been snooping in my diaries. And I HAVE grown up. Kakarott? Burori's back." Kakarott dropped on his rear.
"WHAT? Aw man" both Vegeta's crossed their arms.
"I knew you'd say that." Senior mused smug.

Gokuu burst inside with Bardock who rooted to the ground at the sight of the second couple. Two pairs of eyes glanced back at him.

"Oh noI forgot about that royal shit" Senior humped. Vegeta smirked.
"I tamed them. They should be fine. Just" The Gokuu's and Vegeta's sighed as Bardock sunk on his knee and bowed. Vegeta groaned as her gramps sighed.

"Stand up already, the ground is clean as it is." Senior humped. Bardock complied confused.
"Whycould someone tell me why you both came backwhat I should and shouldn't do?" Bardock stammered confused.
"I am Vegeta. First of all no bowing! My father was used to it, I am NOT. Second, I don't need to take the command over, I just take it when I wish. Third, we were send here by the gods to lend a helping hand with the Burori situation. We already fought his ancestor. With success. And fourth. You improved your power level enormously" Vegeta eyed the proud Saiya-jin.

"Thank you. I am currently at elite level."
"I wonder why my father never gave you a higher level" Vegeta mused. Bardock snorted.
"Old history sire. Doesn't concern us anymore. Your grand daughter has given me the rank."
"Very well." Senior eyed Vegeta who glanced up unfazed. So? They glanced up at a rumbling sound. The Gokuu's smirked for once as the two Vegeta's blinked sour.

"I'm hungry." The youngest whined and made for the door. Without a word her grandfather trailed behind her as Kakarott cracked up. For once, not him.

Soon they joined the couple as both walked around the chair of Zorn. Conversations halted as the crew eyed the five. Self-conscious Kakarott peered back. Waving nervous.

"HI. I'm Gokuu!" he announced as Gokuu elbowed him.
"Shuddup grampait' Kakarott."
"No it is NOT." Gokuu replied as both glared at the other. Smirking Bardock popped in between.
"There-there kids. Don't fight. We'll figure this out later. First mess hall."

Weakly the others raised a hand. Vegeta's snorting entered the lift as the others quickly got in too. A bit crowded the doors closed in an silent bridge

"I feel like fainting" Celipa stammered.
"Was that whom I thought I saw?" Zorn stammered like her. "And I don't mean that Gokuu the second"
"Um" Ronin muttered soft.
"The princeHOW?" Zorn jumped up as if his butt was on fire and slammed the lift button. Tapping impatiently with his foot until it opened and went down to the mess.

There Vegeta, Vegeta, Gokuu, Gokuu and Bardock made themselves comfortable before the great meal. Senior eyed Gokuu two.

"You'll have a pig out again" He muttered warning.
"You too." He retorted calmly. Vegeta smirked as he grabbed the fork.
"I won't. not as bad as you." With a full mouth Gokuu glared him.
"Saiws who?"
"Whyme?" Vegeta cracked up as the juniors sighed deep. Still bickering. Meanwhile like a father of newborn 'twins', Bardock eyed his sons over. So blessed

Carefully Zorn peered around the corner. Vegeta senior cracked up. That Zorn, didn't he know he was spotted by them 3 minutes ago? Probably thinking up an correct starting line. Lets help him out.

"Zorn! Get your butt in here already. You sneak around like a bull."
"Immediately your highness, sorry your highness" Chibi Vegeta groaned and hid her face in her hands. Vegeta ignored her.
"Cut the highness or your dead." And took a bite from a roasted pig. Zorn blinked. Um

"Yes yosire."
"Better. Now sit down and eat." Zorn gulped.at THEIR table? And he eyed Chibi Vegeta and Vegeta weary. Chibi Vegeta yanked out a chair and growled him to sit down.

"Take it easy on him Chibi. He doesn't know any better." Vegeta defended while gulping a drink down. "You see Zorn. Planet is gone. Royal house blew up, so no more highness junk. Logical." Vegeta leaned back to see behind Chibi Vegeta's back at Zorn.

"You always looked so big" Shrugging he glanced back to his plate.
"Wellsire, you were still very young"
"Yes and small. I know." Vegeta humped as Chibi Vegeta snickered. "And whom did they send with me on missions? NAPPA. Who was 6 times as big as me. If not bigger. Ahold days. Blew him up once" Chibi Vegeta eyed at Chibi Gokuu who shrugged at her. No idea what they should do tonight. If THEY slept on their roomshopeless. And they still couldn't get along. The seniors eyed the couple who sighing glanced at their plates. Vegetawas NOT amused.

"Chibi, come with me for a moment." Rose and took the girls arm while pulling her into the back. Chibi Gokuu eyed their departure alarmed.

* * *


In the back Vegeta grabbed her shoulders and peered in her eyes.
"Are you with HIM?" she glanced at him then sighed as she closed her eyes.
"We slept together a couple of times. And I really like him."
"Sowith other wordsYES?" She nodded.
"And it's confusing. I know you don't like grampa Gokuu. And I tried not to get involved. But it sort ofhappened."
"No need to defend yourself." Vegeta muttered. "But whenWHEN he dumps you, he's MINE." He smirked sinister. Ah good old days with Bura, she so hated him. But it was for her own good. At least thisGOKUU. Was super SaiyanHe didn't LIKE it. But he couldn't prevent it either. There however was ONE thing he could do.

"I sleep with you." Her face fell. Huh?
"WHAT?"

* * *


Zorn and the others eyed the couple who's faces together turned red.
"Oh-oh" Gokuu muttered
"Oh-oh" Chibi Gokuu.
"Crap" Bardock.
"There goes my pretty ship" Zorn. "Zorn to the bridgefamily disputesuper dispute"
-Acknowledged, bracing for internal impacts.-

"You have a special mode for super Saiya-jin disagreements?" Gokuu asked stunned. Zorn nodded.
"Yes, miss Vegeta's temper is highly inflammable. And by the looksthere will be one in 4"

Both turned super and both dodged the foot, fist aimed for them.

"YOU WILL NOT GET IN MY DBED OLD MAN! YOUR DEAD."
"I'M ALIVE NO AN I DO NOT TOLERATE YOU AND HIM IN ONE ROOM! WITHOUT SUPERVISION!"

"SO I HAVE TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU STANDING BESIDE THE BLOODY BED?" she cried. Vegeta turned crimson.
"THAT IS ONE WORD I DID NOT WISH TO HEAR AND NO, I'D DIE BEFORE THAT!" both blurred out of sight as furniture imploded on itself. Zorn calmly ate on. Gokuu's eying the fight as Bardock joined Zorn. Couldn't see it anyway. The table was hit by Chibi Vegeta who blurred away before the food tumbled on her.

5 minutes later Chibi Vegeta blurred beside Gokuu. Pulled him back and shook her head. Walked to Chibi Gokuu and pulled him backwards and kissed him with a French kiss. She was pulled off by Vegeta and thrown in the back. Snickering she pulled the cape from her face.

"Didn't like that eh? WELL TOO BAD!" Vegeta stalked over.
"For your information BRAT. You insolent wild-growing BRAT. I am not super Saiya-jin 1nor 2or 3BUT FOUR." Unfazed Chibi Vegeta rose and smoothed out her cape.

"I'm a respectable 2. Point BEING?" Chibi Gokuu groaned. Don't tempt him more
"It means I could constantly blast you into a healing tankwith only using my index finger" Vegeta warningly growled.
"WellI see your point. I can't seep while in a tank" she stood smirking. "Burori want to see me intact. So that won't work. Now will it?" And laughed at him.

"Truebut I can keep an eye on you so closethat when you go to a bathroom I'll know. I sense readings as well? And more accurate then you can at this moment!" she frowning backed away as he flashed super 3. Crap?

"I can move so fast I could appear from thin air and blast you both to smithereens!"
"Well ahGokuu can TELEPORT!"
"How nice for him. You CANT."
"Truebut he can take me along to a planet."

"Umhe's very protectiveisn't he" Chibi Gokuu muttered.
"Just a bit. Only time I saw him acting up like this was when Bura slept with this boy he didn'tnever mind. He is."

"And you'd leave those three Saiya-jin in that lunatics hands?"
"NO! By Dende you are so!! ANNOYING."
"I AM ONLY DOING THE BEST FOR YOU! You just don't know it YET."
"GRAMPA I HATE YOU." She growled with deep rooted contempt.
"I know. You heard me. I will reside with you in your quarters. Understood?
"I heardWon't accept it" she muttered. Vegeta leaving her be returned to the table.

"Hey, could I bunk with you?" Gokuu asked his younger counterpart.
"Sure, he's all over her anyway." Chibi sulked.
"You really love her don't you!"

"Yeah, finally got her, then he came. Must be cursed."
"Nah. You two will be fine. One of these days I'll distract him for a few hours so you two have some time alone."
"Don't bet on it. No matter what you say. These two are a bad couple." Sulking Vegeta flopped beside Chibi Gokuu. Vegeta glared her away so she flopped beside Gokuu instead.

"By Dende, I loath you."
"I know. Get over it." Vegeta replied caring less. She sighed pessimistic as she eyed Gokuu.
"How do you manage to stick around him. He's positively nasty and rude."
"He's still adapting." Gokuu assured.
"Don't count on it Kakarott!" Vegeta threw.

Chichi strolled inside trying to find a bite to eat and greeted the group. Re-winded and eyed it again.

"Okaytwo new guysa Vegeta look alike male form and Gokuu in an orange suit" she muttered as Gokuu fell off his chair.
"Chichi?" she raised her eyebrows.
"Yes? And you are?" he got up and crawled up to her feet, glancing up unbelieving.
"Chichi?" she nodded lightly annoyed. Had to love Vegeta's influence on her.

"Yes? Look lost something or what?"
"Noyou're mydead wife"
"WHATTTT? NO WAY!" Gokuu cringed. Same voicesame faceyouthful looksVegeta eyed the couple and grabbed food instead.

"Oh happy, happy. It's back." He muttered too soft for Chikyuu ears. Chibi Vegeta eyed him warning.
"Look you screwed up one relation. Don't you dare put my best friend down."
"I'll do as I please. And I didn't screw your relationship, it never existed." Smug Chibi Vegeta turned to a peeved Chichi. Glaring down at the man before her feet who just kept on STARING at her. So annoying.

"Chichi! This one thinks that other things with your name!" joyfully she clasped her ears as Bardock, Zorn and Gokuu joined. Both of them. Vegeta glared at Chibi Vegeta who stuck her tong out as Chichi wailed like the banshee she could be. Saiya-jin hearing did not like it. Never having gotten used to it Vegeta winched sharply as Gokuu eyed up at Chichi weary. Old fears streaming back when he and Gohan were late

"Sorry Chichi but Ihuh? Hold on" He shook his head. Different Chichino same just other lifeconfusing. Behind her Jazz strolled in and ignoring the wailing spinning her around and shut her up with a kiss. Something shot between them. And Chichi found herself on the other side of the mess hall in the arms of that freak look-alike.

"Jazz?" She wondered. No sign of him until behind the bar his head popped up rubbing his head soar.

"Yeah? What the hell was that?" super Saiya-jin 3 Gokuu glared through green eyes.
"IDIOT!!!" Vegeta cried in glee as he rammed the poor table. "After all these years still an IDIOT! Look Kakarott, she's not your WIFE. She is DEAD. Decomposed! She has the hot's for HIM obviously! This is rich!" Gokuu eyed the girl in his arms who eyed soar up.

"You can put me down now mister super Saiyan with awfully long hair" Confused Gokuu did and lost the super stage.
"Iam sorry I don't know why I did that" Vegeta rubbing away tears sniffed. Oh by Yemma this would be his deathwait he ALREADY WAS BWAHAHAHAHA.

"Kakarott? Let the woman go and leave her be? We have other problems?" soar Gokuu eyed Chichi who stunning enough hadn't walked away yet but eyed him just as confused.

"Have we met?" she muttered.
"Yes300 years ago. You are my wife's soul" She scratched her hair. Which was lose for once. An annoying hair strain bugged her. Tender he stroke it behind her ear.
"WeirdI feel close to yetI've never met youOKAY, too complicated to a teen. YO JAZZZZZ, get me a pair of scissors. This hair is driving me mad!"

"You sure it won'toh yeah you're a Chikyuu-jin! Cominghow long will it take to grow back?" He came over with some scissors.
"No idea. Have had this hair since a girl. Vegeta? Mind doing the honours?" Vegeta snorted. No bloody way. Yet Chibi Vegeta rose and walked over. Gokuu eyed them while Vegeta cut Chichi's hair to her shoulders. Just a bit over it. Shaking her head, Chichi fingered the cut hair and beamed.

"Much better. Thanks. Jazz? Here." She handed him the cut off hair. Confused he took it. Yeah? What should he do with it, burn it, eat it? Throw it away? Sighing deep Gokuu flopped at the table again eying the couple. A hard tug in his chest. This felt wrongshe shouldn't be here, let alone with that man.
