Just so you guys know…I used spell and grammar checks. I reread this chapter so many times I can recite it for you. I tried to catch any and all mistakes, but I'm sure a few slipped by. Maybe someone will let me know. Domino, are you reviewing?

Her stories are still posted, but my understanding is….she won't be posting here anymore. That's all right because she has her own site to post on. http://www.angelfire.com/anime4/yaoifanfiction/. Check it out. It's too Cool!!!! I do believe she's working on another site as well.

* *: Denotes thoughts

" ": Denotes spoken words

Chapter 3 Now what?

Consciousness slowly returns, and he opens his eyes to find himself lying on his back.

"Jeez, I wonder what happened"? He asked himself. He shook his head to clear the fog from his mind. Looking around from his horizontal position, he thinks to himself.

*Where am I…Oh, now I remember. I'm on Vegeta's ship.* at this last thought Goku's eyes narrow and the hands at his side clench into fists.

"Vegeta" he hisses as he remembers why he's on Vegeta's ship.

*Argh!!!!! The little shit had tried to run!*

The rage he felt when he realized Vegeta was in space. He was so angry, in fact he still was. Vegeta had left the planet. According to Trunks, it was to train alone in space. Goku didn't buy it, he got the feeling he was running from him. He knew Vegeta would never admit it though. He had almost made it too, another minute or two and Goku wouldn't have been able to reach him.

Wondering where the Prince was, Goku got to his feet. Upon rising, he felt a little lightheaded and waited for the feeling to pass. After a moment his head cleared and he proceeded to look for the shorter male.

Looking around he still couldn't see him. *Where could he be?* Goku closes his eyes to concentrate on locating Vegeta's, Ki when a groan broke the silence. Goku's eyes snapped open! The sound came from the direction of the Navigational console.

*Ah…there you are, you sneaky little 'bastard'.* with an uncharacteristic smirk pulling at his lips. He called to the other man as he moved towards the Navigational console. "Vegetawe need to talk."

Just as Goku stepped around the corner of the console, he heard another groan. He stopped dead in his tracks. His eyes widen at the sight before them….a sight he had only seen in his dreams. He could feel the pounding of his heart increase. His chest tighten to the point that it was becoming hard to breathe. He felt like he had electrical currents running though his veins centering in his groin. Goku's felt the heat rise in his cheeks, he moaned inwardly as he felt his manhood stir. Goku's hands, of their own accord started reaching for the smaller man's slender hips. He wanted to wrap his large hands around those slender hips, thrust up against that alluring ass, grind his pelvis into the other man…..

Not two feet away, Vegeta was attempting to get to his feet. He had only made it as far as his hands and knees, when a sharp pain in his head pulled a groan from his throat. He reached up to his forehead with one hand, and hissed causing his back to arch in pain when his fingers touched upon what was causing the pain.

Pulling his hand back he saw his fingers had blood on them. *Must have hit my head when I passed out* he thinks to himself.

As Vegeta made it the rest of the way to his feet, Goku was trying to regain some control. *Now was not the time to act on his desire for Vegeta, but soon…..* he thought. Not for the first time, thankful that his clothes hung loose on his body. Hopefully, the other man wouldn't notice his erection.

Vegeta's head was pounding. He knew Goku was standing right behind him, yet he completely ignored the larger man. At least that's what he projected outwardly. Inside his mind Kakarott has his full attention…

*Shit! Shit! Shit! It wasn't just a nightmare, Kakarott's here!* Vegeta was attempting to get his emotions under control, and wondering how he could explain his hurried departure into space. When he heard the other man's voice he, pushed what he considered to be weak emotions to the side and embraced his anger. He then turned to face the tall man.

"Kakarott what the Fuck!"…. Vegeta was about to light into the other Saiyan when his speech was cut off by an eerier sensation in the pit of his stomach. *Something wasn't right*, he thought to himself. For the first time since he regained consciousness he took a good look around the Bridge.

Goku opened his mouth to speak but Vegeta gave him the hush sign and an angry scowl, silencing the other male. Goku frowned at Vegeta, but he remained silent. Folding his arms across his chest in a very Vegeta like manner he leaned back to watch the other man.

Snorting in Goku's direction, Vegeta continued surveying the Bridge. At first glance nothing seemed out of the ordinary. He extended his senses attempting to sense what wasn't right. The pounding in his head was distracting, making it difficult to hear the minuscule sounds he normally could hear. Since his hearing was off Vegeta focused on a different sense. Then he felt it… or… whether didn't feel it. Vegeta couldn't feel the vibrations of the ship. The ship wasn't moving. His eyes narrow as he moved toward the control consoles.

"What the Fuck!" he growls, as he looks down at the sensor console.

When Goku heard the other man speak he arched a brow, but remained silent. He knew something was bothering Vegeta, but he wouldn't interrupt him. He would be patience and wait for his prince to tell him.

Vegeta's hands were moving from one console to the next, his nimble fingers flying across the panels

*This can't be happening. No Fucking way! * He thinks to himself.

He moves to inspect under the consoles, checking for frayed wires or burnt out computer boards, however everything was as it sure be, except for one thing. No power! Right now the lights and life-support were running off the reserved stores of energy, which was quickly being depleted. The rest of the ship was completely dead. The main power source has been completely depleted. He would have to check the exterior of the ship for damage, and hope he could find the problem. Vegeta was getting very frustrated and the pounding in his head seemed to be increasing. He took a calming breath and closed his eyes. He had remembered the 'distortion' of course, but since the ship was in one piece and they were still alive he had assumed the boosters had fired. He had assumed wrong.

He didn't know what had happened, or why they were no longer in space? He didn't know what planet they were on, or how they got there. He did know however, as things stood right now they would be here for a while. He groans inwardly, after all the trouble he went though to get away from the object of his desires…now they were stranded together on an uninhibited planet for Kami, knows how long.

*Why can't I catch a break?* He thought to himself, as his eyes settled on said desire. *This was not a time for weakness, not that there ever was a time especially in front of the younger man. He needed to tell Kakarott what had happened, or at least what he knew. *Then they needed to come up with a plan. He couldn't be stranded alone on an uninhabited planet with Kakarott. He wouldn't be able to fight his desires, for the other man*. He thought to himself, as he lend back against the senor console he was standing in front of.

"Kakarott, I only want to say this once, so pay attention, and don't interrupt " he told the other man.

"The ship was pulled though an unknown distortion in space. The ship has lost all power, there's no way to start the engines. Lights and life-support are running on reserve power, which are almost depleted. We have landed or crashed, on an unknown, uninhabited planet. Since we can't leave, it looks like we are stranded here indefinitely."

Hoping that his nervousness hadn't been apparent Vegeta folded his arms across his compact chest, signaling that he had said all he planned to say at the moment. He waited for the other man 's reactions.

Goku had silently watched Vegeta move about the ship. He had been curious to know what was frustrating the older man. After trying to speak earlier, and being stopped he decided to just wait until Vegeta was ready to tell him. He knew the smaller man didn't talk much, but sometimes his body language spoke volumes. Well, at least to him Vegeta's body spoke volumes. He had seen Vegeta's body tense a couple of times as he studied the panels on the consoles, this was never a good sign. He was also surprised to see so many different emotions cross that supposedly unemotional face…confusion, surprise, anger, nervousness, and the last one just before he spoke…was it despair? Something was definitely troubling his prince, and he felt it was something more than whatever was wrong with the ship.

Digesting the information he had just been given, his brow crinkling in thought.

Vegeta found Kakarott's expression humorous a smirk pulling at his lips, (the one that says….you are an idiot) as he watched the wheels turn in the younger Saiyans head.

Goku glared back, as he watched that trademark smirk form on his companions face. *Why does he always have to act so mean?* he asked himself, lowering his head. *I'm not an idiot, I'm not as dumb as he thinks I am. One of these days I'll show him.* He tells his self.

His thoughts return to the predicament they seem to be in. *Not in space…landed…ship can't take off…stranded…stranded? * Goku tensed slightly, a smirk forming on his lips, very much like the one he just received. He raised his head, with his smirk widening; he pushed himself off the console he was lending against.

"Tsk, tsk ,tsk Vegeta I'm surprised at you! "All that tension you're feeling 'must' really be distracting, or perhaps you just forgot."

His smirk turned into a self-satisfying grin, as anger crossed the other man's face. He was very pleased to be one up on the older man, which was something that never seemed to happen. *Maybe this was his…lucky day!* he happily thought He decided he had teased Vegeta enough and wanted to pacify the other man's anger before it got out of hand.

"Sorry Vegeta, I was just teasing." He said while rubbing the back of his head. "We're not stranded, I can use Instant Transmission. I may not be able to reach Earth from here, but I'm sure I can work my way there." he smiled. What do you say? Truce?" he asked as he reached a hand towards the angry male.

Vegeta was furious! That third class baka was making fun of him. The worst part was the baka was right. He had been so wrapped up in his own concerns he had been distracted. Truth be told…he had forgotten about the other's teleportation technique.

"Fine whatever Kakarott just do it," he growled as he moved to stand beside the taller man.

"Don't you want to check out the planet first?" Goku asked, surprised by Vegeta's eagerness to leave.

*This was unlike the arrogant Prince. Never one to missed a chance to wreck havoc, and destruction wherever possible. Who, seemed to have a need to destroy things. Which made this planet perfect…it was uninhabited, no one to get hurt. The other man was obliviously tense, he could almost feel the waves of tension radiating off the other's small form, so why didn't he want to blow off some steam? They could spar all out without worrying about hurting anyone.* Interrupting his own thoughts, he watched as Vegeta came to a stop right beside him.

Vegeta knew he was acting a little strange. *Normally he would be overjoyed to come upon an uninhabited planet. He could test his strengths, and his endurance, with out holding back. He would be demanding the kindhearted Sayian spar with him.* However right now all he could think about was…not being stranded with Kakarott, and getting the Hell off that planet! But, he could not let the younger man how he really felt he needed an excuse.

"No Kakarott I do not wish to check out the planet at this time. I wish to go to Capsule Corp, retrieve some equipment, return here, fix my ship. Then we can check out this planet, as I kick your ass all over it." He lied, knowing once he got to Earth he would avoid the other man as much as possible while he prepared another ship.

Goku was confused, for the most part that was normal especially where Vegeta was concerned. He couldn't shake the feeling though, that the older man wasn't being entirely truthful.

"Okay whatever you say Vegeta." Goku man replied, shrugging his shoulders as he placed one hand on Vegeta's shoulder, the other moving to place two fingers along side his head. He closed his eyes in concentration, as his senses reached out for a familiar signal. *There it was, not Earth…but close. They would just be a hop…skip…and jump… away.* he thought, as he smiled down at the shorter male. *He's so adorable when he glares like that.*

Suddenly Goku felt his mood change and the little voice inside his head was asking him what his hurry was? He agreed with his little voice. *Yes what was the hurry? Vegeta wanted to leave.* he asked and reminded himself. But, why couldn't they stay awhile? It's perfect! Uninhabited, no apparent danger to be concerned about. He could use a vacation, and from the tension radiating off the smaller man he could use one too. Of course he knew Vegeta would never admit to needing anything, well except the need to fight. He was hoping to change that before the man had run from him. He'd never get a better opportunity to be totally alone with Vegeta.* Goku knew Vegeta felt something for him, but what exactly that was, he wasn't sure? He also knew something was keeping the older man from admitting it. Was it his pride? Could that be why he took off like he did, maybe unsure of his feelings? He didn't know. He did know that he wanted the smaller warrior, with all his heart and soul. Maybe he could get the arrogant man to open up, that is assuming Vegeta didn't kill him first for betraying him. His thoughts interrupted by an elbow in his ribs.

"What the hell are you waiting for Kakarott? Do it already!" Vegeta snapped at the taller man beside. him.

He looks wide-eyed down at the shorter man. As he lowered his hands, he prayed he *could pull this off. Deception was not his strong suit*.

Taking a deep breath he fortifies his resolve and looks directly into the angry black eyes of his companion.

"I can't"

I had to stop somewhere……..
