Disclaimer: Same as last time, i dont own DBZ or characters mentioned.

Note: Btw....Thank you to all you reviewers that have helped me along with the story. Your suggestions on important things i.e. grammer, spelling etc etc, will be taken into account. But seeing as this is the second to last chapter, i will have to use them in my next Goku/Vegeta story. Hope you like my newest chapter! = )

*Chapter 9*

Vegeta looked out over the landscape. From his position on the mountains, he had a clear view of the city. Its buildings, its wildlife, its forests and other landmarks. He open his arms out and closing his eyes, he took a deep breath of the air. The clean, foresty air was drawn into his lungs and savoured for the short time he could sense it. Then he let his arms fall back down and opened his eyes. A solitary tear ran down his left cheek as thoughts rushed through his head. He would miss this place. It had gradually become a second home to him, this bakayaro city with its baka people. But he would miss it. Suddenly there was a small feeling in the back of his mind. Like a second emotion was there. He frowned and concentrated on it. He realised it was Goku. He was worried and upset and he was looking for Vegeta. Let him look, Vegeta thought to himself. He turned and walked into a large clearing in the forest. He stood looking and the sky for a few moments the closed his eyes again and clenched his fists. He began to summone up all of his energy.

Goku flew over the city searching for Vegeta's ki. It had faded from his senses just moments ago and he had gradually lost track of it. He searched desperately. Soon, he decided to stop and hovered a few metres above the ground, trying to think. "Where could he be? Why is he hiding? Oh Vegeta give me a sign please!", his thoughts screamed. Suddenly he felt Vegeta's ki again. But it was rising and rising fast. Almost too fast. "Why is it rising so fast? If it keeps on rising this quickly he wont survive the......Oh Kami! Vegeta no!" he suddenly shouted and Instant Translocated to Vegeta's location.

He saw Vegeta in a clearing and held his hand up to his eyes. There was a blinding light surrounding Vegeta and a tremendous force had built up around him. His eyes were closed and his fists were clenched tightly, his teeth gritted in concentration and pain. He was now in SSJ2 and his power was still rising. The aura around him was a bright glowing white and when Goku tried to get near it, the force of it blew him back. Vegeta was now sweating and the force around him became even more powerful. "He's gonna blow himself up! I have to reach him before its too late!", Goku thought to himself. Goku powered up to SSJ2 and moved towards Vegeta slowly, arms crossed in front of his face for protection. Vegeta cried out and the glow began to brighten around him, more power building up. "Vegeta no!", Goku cried out, powering up to SSJ3, before lunging forward.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vegeta rose up to SSJ2 but forced his power higher and higher. He hadnt done this before and the pain was unbearable. But it was the only way he knew out. He pushed his power, over his limit and beyond. He gritted his teeth in pain and felt a ki nearby. It was Goku. He tried to stop the rush of power, but couldnt. He'd gone too far. He couldnt control the surge of power inside him. He cried out as he felt the power built up in his body and mind. He heard his name being called out faintly. He couldnt concentrate. Suddenly, he felt two strong arms around his waist and felt the power being zapped out of him. He opened his eyes as more and more power began to fade from his body. He turned his head slightly, to see Goku in SSJ3 form, with a grimace on his face, his eyes scrunched up in concentration.

Vegeta's mouth opened in shock as he felt more and more of his power drain away from him. Finally, it was gone and Goku let go of his tight grip around Vegeta's waist. Vegeta fell to his hands and knee's, gasping for breath. It had felt like a lung had been taken away. He regained his breathing and turned around to face Goku. Goku was sprawled on the ground behind him, now back to his usual form, but unconcious.

Vegeta crawled over to his side and bent over. Goku was breathing but only slightly. "Kakkarot? Kakkarot?? Kakkarot get up. Please Kakkarot. Please", Vegeta said, shaking Goku's limp body with his hands. Goku moaned slightly and his eyes fluttered. He opened his eyes slightly and smiled. Vegeta's eyes welled up. "Hey there 'Geta, man you were giving it your all weren't ya?" Goku said sitting up slightly. Vegeta smiled back at Goku and gave him a small punch in the arm. "Owch! Hey what was that for??", Goku said painfully. "Cause your such a clown Kakkarot!", Vegeta said, crossing his arms over his chest. Suddenly he flung his arms around Goku's shoulders. Goku placed one arm around him and closed his eyes. "I wasnt the one trying to blow myself to the otherworld", he said softly. Vegeta mumbled into Goku's shoulders, trying to fight back tears, "Why did you stop me?". Goku laughed softly, "I thought you would've figured that out by now 'Geta". Vegeta looked up and looked into Goku's eyes. Goku lifted his hand off Vegeta's and cupped the Ouji's face in his hand. "I love you Saiyan No Ouji", he said softly.

Goku and Vegeta sat beside each other looking out over the city. Vegeta's head rested against the younger Saiyans shoulder, with Goku putting his arm around the older Saiyan's waist. Goku sighed and closed his eyes, leaning his head back against the rock they were laid against. "Kakkarot?" Vegeta said. "Mmm?", Goku replied lazily. "How did you find me? And why did wasnt i able to know what you were thinking until just a few minutes ago?", Vegeta asked quietly. Goku sighed and replied, "I was able to find you through our bond". Vegeta looked up puzzled. Goku, keeping his eyes closed said,"You said that a bond would be formed between two Saiyan's if they bit each other and made a wound. But the one thing you forgot was that both Saiyans have to feel the same way about each other for the bond to become whole. I figured that out around the time i shouted at Chi Chi". Vegeta's eyes widened in shock. "You shouted at Chi Chi? Why??", he asked surprised. "Well i had to defend my mate didnt i?" Goku said opening one eye.

Vegeta smiled softly and laid his head back down on Goku's shoulder. "Well, how come i wasnt able to know what you were thinking until a few minutes ago?", Vegeta asked. "Because i didnt realise how much i loved you until a few minutes ago", Goku said sleepily. "It took you this long??" Vegeta said, outraged. Goku nodded slightly and Vegeta gave him a light punch in the shoulder. "Hey! What was that for?" Goku said in a hurt voice, sitting up and rubbing his shouder. "How come it took you that long to realise something like that?", Vegeta said, one eyebrow raised, questioningly. "What's with all the questions? Jeez!", Goku thought to himself. "I heard that clown!!! Dont tell me you've forgotten the bond all ready!?!", Vegeta's thoughts raged at him. Goku laughed at the look on Vegeta's face. "The reason i didnt realise i loved you until now is because i was thinking back to when we first.....you know," Goku said blushing. Vegeta blushed slightly too, but nodded understandingly. "Well i realised that you wouldnt just give yourself to anyone like that unless you loved them". Goku leaned towards Vegeta, and began licking the shell and lobe of his ear. Vegeta moaned with pleasure as Gok whispered, "And i also remember you calling me Goku, you wouldnt do that unless you truly loved me". Vegeta's eyes shot open and he gasped slightly before Goku took advantage and kissed Vegeta.

"Maybe we should get back now. Its late and we should explain ourselves and the new situation", Goku said, looking over at Vegeta. Vegeta looked to Goku and nodded. He yawned loudly and Goku stifled a giggle. "He looks so cute when he's tired and sleepy", Goku thought smiling. "Oi!" Vegeta said outloud. "Shit! I forgot! *sigh* its gonna take some getting used to is this bond thing", Goku said with a whine. Vegeta smirked to himself, closing his eyes and putting his hands behind his head. Goku smiled and sat up. He yawned loudly then turned around and picked up his boxers. He put them on and began to dress himself. Vegeta watched with one eye open lazily. "C'mon 'Geta, quit staring and get dressed", Goku said with hs back turned, pulling on the orange Gi top. Vegeta sighed and picked up his clothes. He dressed slowly and took his time, while Goku finished dressing himself and stood waiting. "Vegeta this isnt time to be messing....stop trying to tempt me and finish up", Goku said closing his eyes and turning away from Vegeta. He was tempted but this wasnt the time. He was nervous about what he would say to Chi Chi. How would she react? How would Goten and Gohan react? How would the guys react?? Goku chewed his lip nervously as two strong arms wrapped round his waist. "Dont worry about them Baka. I'm here for you, we'll do it together", came the husky voice he had grown to love, from behind him. Goku turned around to face the Ouji and smiled at him. Vegeta leaned forward and kissed him, Goku returning the kiss.

Vegeta broke away first, taking the younger Saiyan's hand into his own. "C'mon", he said softly and took off into the air, pulling Goku with him. They flew side by side, as the sun set, to tell their friends of the news.
