"What the hell is going on?" Yelled Vegita as he stormed out of his bedroom and into the hallway. He wore only his tight little boxers and a scowl that could kill.

Mia blinked, the princes behavior not really fazing her. "Well, Ezekiel was having nightmares..."

"ABOUT TEAM ROCKET! I heard the whole blasted thing! Isn't it bad enough that the show is watched in my presence? Now you're acting it out in the middle of the night!" He eyed Piccolo. "And what the hell are you doing here?"

He smirked as he held Mia. "What do you think I'm doing here? Or can't you figure it out?" He kissed Mia's forehead and the Saiya-jin girl blushed and giggled softly.

Vegita's face went pale. (Piccolo 1, Vegita 0)"If you're going to mate, keep it down or do it outside!" He barked, a little pink in the cheeks, which had Bulma been there to see, would not have gone unnoticed. "And be so kind as to keep you're power level's down so I can't sense what your doing!" The angry Prince slammed the door to his room shut, disappearing behind it. Then, baby Trunks began to wail.

"VEGITA! YOU WOKE THE BABY!"

Piccolo and Mia looked at each other smiling like idiots as they heard Vegita getting yelled at.

Mia sighed and walked down the hall to their room, Piccolo following.

When they were safely in privacy, Mia turned to Piccolo and hugged him closely. "Piccolo, I don't get what you're so concerned about." She kissed his neck.

A light purr filled the room as Piccolo began to nuzzle his face down into her neck, gently nipping her skin.

Mia stopped and paused. "I was hoping that you would explain what you said. What about your fathers blood? Ezekiel wasn't born from your fathers anger like you were, and besides, you fought it and won."

Piccolo slowly stopped feasting on Mia's bare flesh and groaned in worry. "He may not have been born from my father, but he has the blood of him in his veins as I do. I gained control of it after only I destroyed Goku, which was the will of my father, and through my intense training I learned that my fathers wishes should not be driving me. Ezekiel however is still a descendent of the demon bloodline, and I'm afraid if he carries the genes of my father and is untrained, then he will try and carry out Damioh's wishes, or worse, have no goal at all and just be insanely obsessed with death."

Mia looked at him. "That's easy, you just train him to control it, right?"

Piccolo looked away. "Perhaps that's all it will take."

"Piccolo, I'm just...trying to recover from the whole Krill thing." She whispered, "If that's a problem we'll deal with it, but...for now. Let's just work on being a family. Please?"

Piccolo smiled genuinely, "As you wish."



The next morning was average. Piccolo was gone when Mia woke up as usual, she walked downstairs and helped Bulma with breakfast, made sure they had an abundant supply off Ezekiel's favorite cereal, and eventually, unbeknownst to Piccolo, went to see Vegita in the gravity chamber. It had become routine, and it slipped her mind that she never told him. Every so often, Ezekiel would go with his father to train, and that left Vegita and Mia alone to discuss thier heritage and gave Vegita time to keep her in decent shape. She never wanted to train extensively, but she was with him about 2 hours each day.

This afternoon was different.

Mia knocked on the gravity door and waited patiently until Vegita lowered the gravity.

"Get in here already! It's lowered!"

Mia walked in, shutting the door behind her. "Hey! What's going on?"

Vegita breathed heavily, catching his breath. "I just raised the gravity up a notch, that's all. I'm fine." He clutched his chest and gasped, leaning against the control panel of the room.

Mia looked around, feeling uneasy. "Something's different Vegita."

Vegita looked up at her, his eyes deep black, almost tinted the color of old dried blood. His face was in a scowl. When their eyes met, Mia froze. She began to shiver. His eyes were fiery yet froze her like ice. He raised his upper lip more, and she heard a growl, slow and low but gradually began to escalate into a roar! Mia back stepped, her legs almost failing her.

"Vegita..."

Suddenly, his finger twitched across the controls and the gravity increased. Mia gasped desperately and collapsed to the floor, but Vegita remained standing with ease.

She struggled to look up at him, her eyes tearing from the intense pressure on her. "Wha...what.." she stuttered, "Are you...doing...?"

He glowered at her.

"Mia...get away from me..." He ordered, one eye half closed as if he was struggling against something unseen.

"What's wrong?"

"I...can't control myself!"

She tried to lift herself, but a sudden force pushed her to the ground and rolled her onto her back. She stared up into Vegita's horribly disfigured face, his breathing raged.

Mia began to tremble. "Vegita don't...please..."

She felt his hands on her sides.

Vegita was out of control, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw a tail. A saiya-jin's tail!



* My first cliffy! What do you think? What's going on in Vegita? It could be any number of things! Is he in heat? Is he trying to rape her? WHAT?!?!? 'Chibi Piccolo jump up and hits her on the head with his pretty new sledgehammer' OUCHY! Guess that means I should shut up and get started on the next chappie, but I need some feedback before the next part gets out! Bye, and thanks for reading! *
