She has dropped the handsome young demi-Saiyan heir to a billion dollar corporation, for a handsome *penniless* Jaganashi aka. Hiei our favorite fire demon, of course it would be better if he had a 'paying' job!!!!!! *sighs*.,.,I had such high hopes. Aw well, what can you do? Kids?

Okay, now without any further a due..........
Chapter 7 Mated Bond or Soul Mates
The older man seemed to get more and more agitated as the day progressed. Try as he might, he couldn't get the earlier conversation with Kakarott out of his mind. For three hours he had tried to focus on rewiring the control panels, but his thoughts kept returning to Kakarott and bonds. Finally, after the umpteen time of connecting the wrong wires and getting a jolt he gave up, with a sigh he sat back and hung his head.
*Damn!* he hissed, he hated not being in control of his own thoughts.,.or body it appeared as he felt that throbbing sensation in his lower body that only thoughts of Kakarott could inspire. It was the bond, he knew it. It seemed that the conversation earlier had awakened the bond he felt with the younger Saiyan. This had happened before. The more he was around the other Saiyan the stronger the pull became to claim him. On Earth he had been able to avoid the other man at such times, by locking himself away in the gravity room or off training on his secret island retreat until he regained control and the fire burning in his soul recessed. A fire much like the one burning within him now, he absently wondered did Kakarott feel the same fire.
He had to put some distance between himself and Kakarott, he knew what was coming. The fire in his veins would only intensify. The need to claim the younger man would become unbearable and the sexy Saiyan was far to close. Vegeta felt his temperature rise even more as he made his feet and headed towards the exit.
He exited the ship, taking a quick glance around before he blasted off toward the East. He hadn't seen the sexy Saiyan, but he had known that he had been close, at least he didn't have to answer stupid question, about where he was going and if the other man could join him.
He sighed *it would have been nice to see the baka before he left. gentle eyes.sculptured perfection. lips..*
"Aw Fuck!" he hissed and increased his speed to put more distant between himself and Kakarott while trying hard to ignore the 'uncomfortable feeling' that had suddenly returned to his lower body.
~
The younger man had not enjoyed his relaxing swim as much as he had hoped. He just couldn't relax.
The previous conversation with Vegeta had been intriguing and it gave him a lot to think about. He really wished he had found the nerve to ask the older man about the bond he could feel between the two of them. However, when he felt Vegeta's irritation fire up he thought it wise not to irritate the man further. He realized it wasn't anger he had felt from Vegeta. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but it was like Vegeta was very uncomfortable talking about bonds. But why? He was fine, even relaxed, until he started explaining about bonded mates, then his mood changed. The relaxed mood replaced by irritation, which only seemed to heighten the more he explained. He could tell the other man didn't want to talk about bonded mates. Still, the question remained.why? He really wished he knew more about his heritage maybe then he could better understand Vegeta.
Since he couldn't relax, he decided to work off some of his energy by working out. Leaving the Lake, he slightly flared his ki to dry himself, then dressed and proceeded to his favorite place to train a few hundred yards from their campsite just out of site of the ship. He had worked though his kata twice and was sparring with an imaginary opponent.
After a couple of hours Goku got bored sparring with his imaginary opponent and dropped down to the ground. There wasn't much of a challenge fighting a non-existing opponent. He thought about seeing if Vegeta wanted to spar. Perhaps he could get the older man to take a break from his work on the ship He focused on the smaller man's ki just to make sure he was still in the ship and he was.
But something was still bothering his ouji, he could feel it. In fact Vegeta seemed more irritated, he could sense the smaller man's turmoil. It wasn't often he felt anything from the smaller man except anger. The older man hid his emotions well, to well. Vegeta had too much control, and believed it would be a weakness to show emotions.,.even to himself. But every now and then that control would slip and he would get a glimpse of the man behind the mask. Grasping this opportunity he focused his thoughts on the older man. His brow furrowed into a frown from the concentration it took.
*Pain.,.he felt pain, emotional or physical he couldn't tell, maybe both. Confusion, self doubt,.,..fear! Goku snapped his opened eyes, replaying in his mind what he just felt. He glanced in the direction of the ship even though he couldn't see it.
*Yes fear, Vegeta was afraid of something.*
He debated on whether or not.,.to brave the other's wrath and check on the volatile man, when he felt Vegeta's shields go back in place and then he started to move. Before Goku could decided what to do, Vegeta blasted off.
Goku mentally followed the upset prince for a few moments. He was heading East, he felt him slow his speed and lower his power level
"Vegeta I wish you would let me help you." He sighed, as his thoughts returned to the emotions he had felt from the supposedly emotionless man. *What had brought on these emotions and why wasn't Vegeta able to hid them as usual?* he thought as he headed towards the ship. *Perhaps he would find the answer there* What he really wanted to do was go after the other man, hold him, comfort him, but he knew Vegeta would never allow it.
Goku entered the Control Room and looked around, it pretty much looked like it did earlier.control panels tore apart, wires hanging everywhere. He smiled at the memory of Vegeta tangled up in all those wires, *he was so cute!*
He made his way around the room and on closer examination noticed that a few of the consoles had indeed been rewired and put back together, but still didn't seem to work. *Was that what had upset the older man, all his efforts and still he couldn't get the ship to work? That would explain the confusion and perhaps the fear if Vegeta was that afraid of being stuck with him.* He shook his head in denial, *no there had to be another reason, He knew Vegeta didn't fear him in any way. He would just have to look until he found the cause of the smaller man's distress.
Out of the corner of his eye he thought he saw a flash. He turned his head in the direction of the far wall where the flash had come from. There it was again, his curiosity pulled him in that direction. Wondering what it could be he followed his curiosity and headed that way.
There were words flashing on the screen of the small console, he rubbed the back of his head and smiled. "Press any key to continue", so he did.
The screen when blank, Goku started to panic had he pushed the wrong key, but then the screen flicker a couple of time then stayed on. Goku looked at the screen, curious to know what this console did.
'Planetary Archives' A directory to the histories, cultures, and languages of known Planets
That sounded interesting, but he didn't have time right now. He was worried about his prince. He started to turn away when the sub-categories caught his attention
ACTIVE DESTROYED
His eyes widen! Destroyed?
"Vegeta-sei" he grasps. He pulled the chair out and sat down in front of the console and reached over and touched the screen over the word Destroyed. The screened flicker once, then a list appeared on screen. There several planets listed, but Goku was only interested in one. He scrolled down the list until he came to the name he was looking for, 'Vegeta-sei' He felt nervous and excited, at long last he could learn more about his race. What he really wanted was information on bonds, the rest could wait till later. Once again he touched the screen.
VEGETA-SEI
HISTORY CULTURE ECONOMICS
Studying the screen Goku noticed the Crest around the word Vegeta-sei, he had seen that Crest somewhere before.,.his eyes moved to the only other two images on the page. On the right was an image of a chibi Vegeta, head held high, small arms folded across his tiny chest, a much too large medallion hung around the short chibi's neck ,.,that's it! That were he had seen the Crest.
~~Flashback~~ Mwhahahahaha.,.
It had been right after they had saved the universe from Kid Buu. Everything was back to normal and Bulma was having a get to together at CC. The whole gang was there, it was a happy time. But as usual Vegeta was missing from the festivities. He thought to go in search of his long-time rival and friend. After all if it hadn't been for Vegeta's help, they would all be dead. He quietly moved up the stairs and though the halls until he came to Vegeta's room. The door was about halfway opened so he stuck his head around the corner with a big grin on his face his mouth opened preparing to greet the other man, when he stopped and just stared. Vegeta was sitting on his bed. His expression one of sadness. He didn't seem to notice the younger man half in and half out of his room, so lost in his on thoughts. Then he noticed Vegeta fingering something in his hand, caressing it like he was trying to memorize the design. It looked like a necklace of some kind, but he couldn't remember Vegeta ever wearing any type of jewelry Goku let out the breath he hadn't realized he had been holding. Vegeta's head snapped up, having heard the exhale of breath.
"Hey Vegeta what's up?"
"What do you want Baka?"
"Ummm.,.well.,.the party's down stairs"
"Then why aren't you down there instead up here pestering me?"
Goku watched as the man reached around behind his back on the bed his hand returned holding a pouch, he began to open it.
"What is that Vegeta can I see?"
He looks at me and for a moment I could see sadness in his eyes, but then it was gone. He waved his hand in my direction.
"It's nothing to you Kakarott, you wouldn't understand even if I chose to tell you, which I do not. Now return to the party and leave me in peace"
He watched as Vegeta held the necklace up by the chain giving it one last longing look before he lowered it into the opened pouch which he then place in a metal box and rose off the bed.
~~End Flashback~~
There were tears in his eyes. He realized the necklace he had seen Vegeta with wasn't a necklace after all, but a medallion.,.the Royal Crest of Vegeta-sei Vegeta's birthright the only link to what was left of his heritage. Tears freely fell from his eyes as he realized if not for Frezia Vegeta would by now be King of Vegeta-sei. How terrible it must truly be for his prince to have lost everything. If it was possible his respect for the smaller grew. How much had Vegeta suffered before coming to Earth? He shook these thought from his mind thinking how Vegeta was indeed the strongest person he knew, maybe now in psychical strength, but definitely in ever other aspect. He wiped the tears from his eyes and looked at the screen. He wanted to know about bonds.,.and if what he suspected was true, he would make sure no one ever hurt the Saiyan Ouji again!
Trying to focus though his still misty eyes he debated on history or culture, he went with culture.
His eyes quickly darted though his choices; * bonds yes, there it was* making his choice the screen changed again, once more giving him options. He scanned though those listed there. General, Sibling, Parental, Rivalry, Mated, Soul.,.his heart rate quicken.now he would know if he shared a soul with the one he couldn't live without. With bated breath he made his chose and begun to read.
The Saiyan Empire has secretly poured an immeasurable amount of resources as well as revenue into studying the cause and effect of this particular bond referred to as Mated Bond or Souls Mates Decades have been spent in search of a way to counter or control the effects of this bond. Every avenue explored, even the absurd. Some scientist believed that the Legend of old, mainly forgotten over the eons is responsible for the cause and effect of this bond. Perhaps, but as stated, very little information has survived the centuries. What little information the scientific community has on this legend is sketchy at best. Here is what we have:
In an attempt to extract revenge against the Saiyan, for the death of her mate an Evil Sorceress spilt the souls of the warriors responsible separating them forever never again to be complete. Cursed to travel time and space for Eternity, alone and empty. However it is also said that a Guardian of the universe finding this punishment to be far to severe, yet not wanting to deny the Evil Sorceress her revenge, for the lost of her mate, altered the curse.,.the separated soul would traverse time and space, but not for eternity.,. only until the two half's of the same soul could be joined together once again. Searching until they found the other half of themselves. Drawn together by an uncontrollable need to be whole once again. Once rejoined not a force in the universe could separate them again.
These scientist feel that the Legend in part is true and does indeed have something to with the Mated Bond. Said, scientist are slowing gaining support for their theories, since the rest of the scientific community have not been able to discover the cause or produce a way to counter or control the effects of the bond. After all these centuries it's still a mystery.
All our research, however has not been in vein, with field studies, test subject as well as laboratory results we have been able to monitor and record the bonding process. Most of this information has been classified secret, so must not be discussed.
*Damn!* Goku thought, yet continued to read.
The findings that we can share publicly are as follows:
Goku released a sigh of relief, hopeful that he would find something that would be helpful. He readjusted his position, so nervous he could hardly sit still, but he continued to read.
In this particular Bond, two individuals are drawn together. How and why? Our studies have not been able to determine. The pull of the bond transcends social classifications, power levels, gender and in some cases even race.
The test subject reported that once they have been brought together they would feel an unexplainable need to be near the other. In some cases this was feasible, but in other it was not. One may live off planet or a warrior often sent on purging mission for long periods of time. If the attracted pair could modify this situation or even wanted to, remember Saiyans are a proud powerful warrior race, to be bonded to another in this way for some was unthinkable; then the process would continue.
In most of our test subjects the bonded process went rather smoothly. Subjects reporting that they could sense the others emotions and sometimes hear their thought. The need to be near the other would become overwhelming. They would become distracted by thoughts of the other, they would even invade each others dreams. Each pair grew more and more attracted to the other, until they could think of nothing else. At this point the fever would sit in. This fever being similar to what is felt by a warrior overcome with Bloodlust. But, instead of trying to kill there opponent, their desire was to mate. The fever would intensify, subjects claiming they felt like their bodies were on fire. The desire to touch, hold, kiss and mate with the other the only thoughts in their minds. At this stage of the bonding process one would initiate the hunt.
To initiate the hunt one would make their intentions known to the other, then give them a head start, time to escape if possible or to prepare for battle. The initiator would then give chase, until cornering or capturing their prey. Once corner or captured the other must submit or fight for dominance. As in all mated pairs there is a dominant and submissive role. Once the battle took place the victor which, usually was the one that initiated the hunt would be dominant, sexually claiming the submissive one consummating the union of body. At some point during this union they would bite one another between neck and shoulder marking each others as theirs. The mark would heal, but the scar would remain letting anyone that saw it know they had a bonded mate. They would then suckle the wound, savoring the taste of their mate's blood. Drinking each others life force would then consummate the joining of mind and spirit.,.souls if you will. At this point the joining is complete and they are bonded mates or soul mates which ever you prefer. The result is the same.
They are joined for life. They hear each others thoughts. Feel each others pain, experience each others joy. Truly the only draw back to this completed union is the fact they cannot be separated from each other by long distant for any length time before one or the other, and in some cases both will become very ill. If the two are not rejoined then death will follow. If one of the mated pair die, there was no hope for the remaining one. No test subject on record has ever survived the death of their mate.
In a few rare cases, one of the pair would attempt to refuse the bond, which according to reports was very painful. If the rebellious one continued to refuse the bond the pain and fever would either drive them insane or kill them or perhaps both. Fortunately there are only a few bond related deaths on file, more often than not the pull of the bond was stronger then the one rejecting it and they would eventually submit to the overwhelming need to complete the bonding process.
Goku leaned back in the set, a real grin plaster on his face.
*Yes, it was a mated bond he felt with Vegeta* he thought to himself as he replayed what he had read though his mind. Then his smile faded to be replaced by a frown.
*Was Vegeta refusing the bond? Is that way he could feel the older man's emotion in such turmoil? Did the talk they have earlier in the morning spark the desire to bond within Vegeta. Goku knew Vegeta felt something for him, he himself had felt it and seen it in the others eyes at different times though the years, so why would he refuse the bond? Was he afraid.,.,.,yes, Goku remembered he felt fear in the mixture of emotions he had felt from the older man earlier. But what was he afraid of? Goku racked his brain in an attempt to ascertain what part of the bonding process could possibly frighten his prince? Then it hit him.,.,.dominance. Vegeta would never want to be dominate in such a way and since I'm physically stronger, he fears I will dominate. It all made sense now.,.,Vegeta's constant training ever though there was no threat to him or Earth. His drive to constantly surpass me. All this time has he been trying to surpass me so he could finally beat me in battle and then claim me as his?*
He closes his eyes, hangs his head and wraps his arms around himself.
"Vegeta you fool, I have no desire to dominate you, only to love you" he whispers aloud to the empty room.
"How can I make you see?" He asked himself. He didn't know, but he was damn sure going to work on it. He smile at the thought that Vegeta could soon be his.
TBC
A/N: Well guys.,.,what do you think? Kind of lame isn't it. The bonding part may not be accurate, but it's close. Hahahahaha! The next chapter hopefully won't take as long. I'm going to unleash Kewla's hentai mind when it comes to the lemon. Whoo, getting warm already. LOL!
Hey, you guys thanks for all the reviews. You know I love them.*nods head* it's what keeps me going. Hahahaha! Really!
I apologize for such a long wait between updates. Believe me, I know what it like is to wait on an update on a story you like, but this chapter was harder to write then I had originally thought it would be. It is also much longer nine pages to be exact, I hope you enjoy it.and I didn't screw it up to much!
Something I need to clarify.We all know that LadyHiei-Trunks is my offspring Asena, but she has changed her penname to Jaganashi. A mother's nightmare come true! She has dropped the handsome young demi-Saiyan heir to a billion dollar corporation, for a handsome *penniless* Jaganashi aka. Hiei our favorite fire demon, of course it would be better if he had a 'paying' job!!!!!! *sighs*.,.,I had such high hopes. Aw well, what can you do? Kids? Just thought you all might like to know that. *sobs* No more LadyHiei-Trunks!!!! *sobs*
Anyway, one more quick{yeah right}note. I'm going to end this soon.maybe two more chapters. The next chapter will be what we've all been waiting for.*evil hentai smirk*.I'm going to try my hand at writing a lemon! More than likely I won't post on FF. I don't want FF to delete my story or account.hahahahaha!!!
Never fear, my fellow lemon lovers *sweatdrops* I'll post a chapter note letting you know where you can find chapter 8. *8*, get it? Hahahahahaha! You know I think Asena's right, I need help!
Without further a due.......................
Damn!!! I forgot the disclaimer. Cracks knuckles.I don't own Dragonball Z or its characters. I do however own a lot of DBZ stuff, which is now placed strategically around my 'Sanctuary'..Mwhahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
Okay, now without any further a due..........
Chapter 7 Mated Bond or Soul Mates
The older man seemed to get more and more agitated as the day progressed. Try as he might, he couldn't get the earlier conversation with Kakarott out of his mind. For three hours he had tried to focus on rewiring the control panels, but his thoughts kept returning to Kakarott and bonds. Finally, after the umpteen time of connecting the wrong wires and getting a jolt he gave up, with a sigh he sat back and hung his head.
*Damn!* he hissed, he hated not being in control of his own thoughts.,.or body it appeared as he felt that throbbing sensation in his lower body that only thoughts of Kakarott could inspire. It was the bond, he knew it. It seemed that the conversation earlier had awakened the bond he felt with the younger Saiyan. This had happened before. The more he was around the other Saiyan the stronger the pull became to claim him. On Earth he had been able to avoid the other man at such times, by locking himself away in the gravity room or off training on his secret island retreat until he regained control and the fire burning in his soul recessed. A fire much like the one burning within him now, he absently wondered did Kakarott feel the same fire.
He had to put some distance between himself and Kakarott, he knew what was coming. The fire in his veins would only intensify. The need to claim the younger man would become unbearable and the sexy Saiyan was far to close. Vegeta felt his temperature rise even more as he made his feet and headed towards the exit.
He exited the ship, taking a quick glance around before he blasted off toward the East. He hadn't seen the sexy Saiyan, but he had known that he had been close, at least he didn't have to answer stupid question, about where he was going and if the other man could join him.
He sighed *it would have been nice to see the baka before he left. gentle eyes.sculptured perfection. lips..*
"Aw Fuck!" he hissed and increased his speed to put more distant between himself and Kakarott while trying hard to ignore the 'uncomfortable feeling' that had suddenly returned to his lower body.
~
The younger man had not enjoyed his relaxing swim as much as he had hoped. He just couldn't relax.
The previous conversation with Vegeta had been intriguing and it gave him a lot to think about. He really wished he had found the nerve to ask the older man about the bond he could feel between the two of them. However, when he felt Vegeta's irritation fire up he thought it wise not to irritate the man further. He realized it wasn't anger he had felt from Vegeta. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but it was like Vegeta was very uncomfortable talking about bonds. But why? He was fine, even relaxed, until he started explaining about bonded mates, then his mood changed. The relaxed mood replaced by irritation, which only seemed to heighten the more he explained. He could tell the other man didn't want to talk about bonded mates. Still, the question remained.why? He really wished he knew more about his heritage maybe then he could better understand Vegeta.
Since he couldn't relax, he decided to work off some of his energy by working out. Leaving the Lake, he slightly flared his ki to dry himself, then dressed and proceeded to his favorite place to train a few hundred yards from their campsite just out of site of the ship. He had worked though his kata twice and was sparring with an imaginary opponent.
After a couple of hours Goku got bored sparring with his imaginary opponent and dropped down to the ground. There wasn't much of a challenge fighting a non-existing opponent. He thought about seeing if Vegeta wanted to spar. Perhaps he could get the older man to take a break from his work on the ship He focused on the smaller man's ki just to make sure he was still in the ship and he was.
But something was still bothering his ouji, he could feel it. In fact Vegeta seemed more irritated, he could sense the smaller man's turmoil. It wasn't often he felt anything from the smaller man except anger. The older man hid his emotions well, to well. Vegeta had too much control, and believed it would be a weakness to show emotions.,.even to himself. But every now and then that control would slip and he would get a glimpse of the man behind the mask. Grasping this opportunity he focused his thoughts on the older man. His brow furrowed into a frown from the concentration it took.
*Pain.,.he felt pain, emotional or physical he couldn't tell, maybe both. Confusion, self doubt,.,..fear! Goku snapped his opened eyes, replaying in his mind what he just felt. He glanced in the direction of the ship even though he couldn't see it.
*Yes fear, Vegeta was afraid of something.*
He debated on whether or not.,.to brave the other's wrath and check on the volatile man, when he felt Vegeta's shields go back in place and then he started to move. Before Goku could decided what to do, Vegeta blasted off.
Goku mentally followed the upset prince for a few moments. He was heading East, he felt him slow his speed and lower his power level
"Vegeta I wish you would let me help you." He sighed, as his thoughts returned to the emotions he had felt from the supposedly emotionless man. *What had brought on these emotions and why wasn't Vegeta able to hid them as usual?* he thought as he headed towards the ship. *Perhaps he would find the answer there* What he really wanted to do was go after the other man, hold him, comfort him, but he knew Vegeta would never allow it.
Goku entered the Control Room and looked around, it pretty much looked like it did earlier.control panels tore apart, wires hanging everywhere. He smiled at the memory of Vegeta tangled up in all those wires, *he was so cute!*
He made his way around the room and on closer examination noticed that a few of the consoles had indeed been rewired and put back together, but still didn't seem to work. *Was that what had upset the older man, all his efforts and still he couldn't get the ship to work? That would explain the confusion and perhaps the fear if Vegeta was that afraid of being stuck with him.* He shook his head in denial, *no there had to be another reason, He knew Vegeta didn't fear him in any way. He would just have to look until he found the cause of the smaller man's distress.
Out of the corner of his eye he thought he saw a flash. He turned his head in the direction of the far wall where the flash had come from. There it was again, his curiosity pulled him in that direction. Wondering what it could be he followed his curiosity and headed that way.
There were words flashing on the screen of the small console, he rubbed the back of his head and smiled. "Press any key to continue", so he did.
The screen when blank, Goku started to panic had he pushed the wrong key, but then the screen flicker a couple of time then stayed on. Goku looked at the screen, curious to know what this console did.
'Planetary Archives' A directory to the histories, cultures, and languages of known Planets
That sounded interesting, but he didn't have time right now. He was worried about his prince. He started to turn away when the sub-categories caught his attention
ACTIVE DESTROYED
His eyes widen! Destroyed?
"Vegeta-sei" he grasps. He pulled the chair out and sat down in front of the console and reached over and touched the screen over the word Destroyed. The screened flicker once, then a list appeared on screen. There several planets listed, but Goku was only interested in one. He scrolled down the list until he came to the name he was looking for, 'Vegeta-sei' He felt nervous and excited, at long last he could learn more about his race. What he really wanted was information on bonds, the rest could wait till later. Once again he touched the screen.
VEGETA-SEI
HISTORY CULTURE ECONOMICS
Studying the screen Goku noticed the Crest around the word Vegeta-sei, he had seen that Crest somewhere before.,.his eyes moved to the only other two images on the page. On the right was an image of a chibi Vegeta, head held high, small arms folded across his tiny chest, a much too large medallion hung around the short chibi's neck ,.,that's it! That were he had seen the Crest.
~~Flashback~~ Mwhahahahaha.,.
It had been right after they had saved the universe from Kid Buu. Everything was back to normal and Bulma was having a get to together at CC. The whole gang was there, it was a happy time. But as usual Vegeta was missing from the festivities. He thought to go in search of his long-time rival and friend. After all if it hadn't been for Vegeta's help, they would all be dead. He quietly moved up the stairs and though the halls until he came to Vegeta's room. The door was about halfway opened so he stuck his head around the corner with a big grin on his face his mouth opened preparing to greet the other man, when he stopped and just stared. Vegeta was sitting on his bed. His expression one of sadness. He didn't seem to notice the younger man half in and half out of his room, so lost in his on thoughts. Then he noticed Vegeta fingering something in his hand, caressing it like he was trying to memorize the design. It looked like a necklace of some kind, but he couldn't remember Vegeta ever wearing any type of jewelry Goku let out the breath he hadn't realized he had been holding. Vegeta's head snapped up, having heard the exhale of breath.
"Hey Vegeta what's up?"
"What do you want Baka?"
"Ummm.,.well.,.the party's down stairs"
"Then why aren't you down there instead up here pestering me?"
Goku watched as the man reached around behind his back on the bed his hand returned holding a pouch, he began to open it.
"What is that Vegeta can I see?"
He looks at me and for a moment I could see sadness in his eyes, but then it was gone. He waved his hand in my direction.
"It's nothing to you Kakarott, you wouldn't understand even if I chose to tell you, which I do not. Now return to the party and leave me in peace"
He watched as Vegeta held the necklace up by the chain giving it one last longing look before he lowered it into the opened pouch which he then place in a metal box and rose off the bed.
~~End Flashback~~
There were tears in his eyes. He realized the necklace he had seen Vegeta with wasn't a necklace after all, but a medallion.,.the Royal Crest of Vegeta-sei Vegeta's birthright the only link to what was left of his heritage. Tears freely fell from his eyes as he realized if not for Frezia Vegeta would by now be King of Vegeta-sei. How terrible it must truly be for his prince to have lost everything. If it was possible his respect for the smaller grew. How much had Vegeta suffered before coming to Earth? He shook these thought from his mind thinking how Vegeta was indeed the strongest person he knew, maybe now in psychical strength, but definitely in ever other aspect. He wiped the tears from his eyes and looked at the screen. He wanted to know about bonds.,.and if what he suspected was true, he would make sure no one ever hurt the Saiyan Ouji again!
Trying to focus though his still misty eyes he debated on history or culture, he went with culture.
His eyes quickly darted though his choices; * bonds yes, there it was* making his choice the screen changed again, once more giving him options. He scanned though those listed there. General, Sibling, Parental, Rivalry, Mated, Soul.,.his heart rate quicken.now he would know if he shared a soul with the one he couldn't live without. With bated breath he made his chose and begun to read.
The Saiyan Empire has secretly poured an immeasurable amount of resources as well as revenue into studying the cause and effect of this particular bond referred to as Mated Bond or Souls Mates Decades have been spent in search of a way to counter or control the effects of this bond. Every avenue explored, even the absurd. Some scientist believed that the Legend of old, mainly forgotten over the eons is responsible for the cause and effect of this bond. Perhaps, but as stated, very little information has survived the centuries. What little information the scientific community has on this legend is sketchy at best. Here is what we have:
In an attempt to extract revenge against the Saiyan, for the death of her mate an Evil Sorceress spilt the souls of the warriors responsible separating them forever never again to be complete. Cursed to travel time and space for Eternity, alone and empty. However it is also said that a Guardian of the universe finding this punishment to be far to severe, yet not wanting to deny the Evil Sorceress her revenge, for the lost of her mate, altered the curse.,.the separated soul would traverse time and space, but not for eternity.,. only until the two half's of the same soul could be joined together once again. Searching until they found the other half of themselves. Drawn together by an uncontrollable need to be whole once again. Once rejoined not a force in the universe could separate them again.
These scientist feel that the Legend in part is true and does indeed have something to with the Mated Bond. Said, scientist are slowing gaining support for their theories, since the rest of the scientific community have not been able to discover the cause or produce a way to counter or control the effects of the bond. After all these centuries it's still a mystery.
All our research, however has not been in vein, with field studies, test subject as well as laboratory results we have been able to monitor and record the bonding process. Most of this information has been classified secret, so must not be discussed.
*Damn!* Goku thought, yet continued to read.
The findings that we can share publicly are as follows:
Goku released a sigh of relief, hopeful that he would find something that would be helpful. He readjusted his position, so nervous he could hardly sit still, but he continued to read.
In this particular Bond, two individuals are drawn together. How and why? Our studies have not been able to determine. The pull of the bond transcends social classifications, power levels, gender and in some cases even race.
The test subject reported that once they have been brought together they would feel an unexplainable need to be near the other. In some cases this was feasible, but in other it was not. One may live off planet or a warrior often sent on purging mission for long periods of time. If the attracted pair could modify this situation or even wanted to, remember Saiyans are a proud powerful warrior race, to be bonded to another in this way for some was unthinkable; then the process would continue.
In most of our test subjects the bonded process went rather smoothly. Subjects reporting that they could sense the others emotions and sometimes hear their thought. The need to be near the other would become overwhelming. They would become distracted by thoughts of the other, they would even invade each others dreams. Each pair grew more and more attracted to the other, until they could think of nothing else. At this point the fever would sit in. This fever being similar to what is felt by a warrior overcome with Bloodlust. But, instead of trying to kill there opponent, their desire was to mate. The fever would intensify, subjects claiming they felt like their bodies were on fire. The desire to touch, hold, kiss and mate with the other the only thoughts in their minds. At this stage of the bonding process one would initiate the hunt.
To initiate the hunt one would make their intentions known to the other, then give them a head start, time to escape if possible or to prepare for battle. The initiator would then give chase, until cornering or capturing their prey. Once corner or captured the other must submit or fight for dominance. As in all mated pairs there is a dominant and submissive role. Once the battle took place the victor which, usually was the one that initiated the hunt would be dominant, sexually claiming the submissive one consummating the union of body. At some point during this union they would bite one another between neck and shoulder marking each others as theirs. The mark would heal, but the scar would remain letting anyone that saw it know they had a bonded mate. They would then suckle the wound, savoring the taste of their mate's blood. Drinking each others life force would then consummate the joining of mind and spirit.,.souls if you will. At this point the joining is complete and they are bonded mates or soul mates which ever you prefer. The result is the same.
They are joined for life. They hear each others thoughts. Feel each others pain, experience each others joy. Truly the only draw back to this completed union is the fact they cannot be separated from each other by long distant for any length time before one or the other, and in some cases both will become very ill. If the two are not rejoined then death will follow. If one of the mated pair die, there was no hope for the remaining one. No test subject on record has ever survived the death of their mate.
In a few rare cases, one of the pair would attempt to refuse the bond, which according to reports was very painful. If the rebellious one continued to refuse the bond the pain and fever would either drive them insane or kill them or perhaps both. Fortunately there are only a few bond related deaths on file, more often than not the pull of the bond was stronger then the one rejecting it and they would eventually submit to the overwhelming need to complete the bonding process.
Goku leaned back in the set, a real grin plaster on his face.
*Yes, it was a mated bond he felt with Vegeta* he thought to himself as he replayed what he had read though his mind. Then his smile faded to be replaced by a frown.
*Was Vegeta refusing the bond? Is that way he could feel the older man's emotion in such turmoil? Did the talk they have earlier in the morning spark the desire to bond within Vegeta. Goku knew Vegeta felt something for him, he himself had felt it and seen it in the others eyes at different times though the years, so why would he refuse the bond? Was he afraid.,.,.,yes, Goku remembered he felt fear in the mixture of emotions he had felt from the older man earlier. But what was he afraid of? Goku racked his brain in an attempt to ascertain what part of the bonding process could possibly frighten his prince? Then it hit him.,.,.dominance. Vegeta would never want to be dominate in such a way and since I'm physically stronger, he fears I will dominate. It all made sense now.,.,Vegeta's constant training ever though there was no threat to him or Earth. His drive to constantly surpass me. All this time has he been trying to surpass me so he could finally beat me in battle and then claim me as his?*
He closes his eyes, hangs his head and wraps his arms around himself.
"Vegeta you fool, I have no desire to dominate you, only to love you" he whispers aloud to the empty room.
"How can I make you see?" He asked himself. He didn't know, but he was damn sure going to work on it. He smile at the thought that Vegeta could soon be his.

A/N: Well guys.,.,what do you think? Kind of lame isn't it. The bonding part may not be accurate, but it's close. Hahahahaha! The next chapter hopefully won't take as long. I'm going to unleash Kewla's hentai mind when it comes to the lemon. Whoo, getting warm already. LOL!
