"I'm sorry, my child..." The woman stroked his cheek, "I'm sorry..."
'Wait!' He wanted to cry out. 'Who are you?' But he couldn't find his voice, his hand went to his throat, 'How come I can't talk?' The woman contined to watch him, sadness etched in her eyes.
A full moon appeared behind him and he doubled over when he felt pain erupting from the base of his spine where the tailbone began. 'What's happening?' He couldn't breathe and the world began to swim. Colors melted together and moon began to pulse in tune with his heart. "The full moon..." He finally managed to whisper, "The full moon..." He stood and wrapped his newly grown tail around his waist, "The full moon." He said to her.
She nodded, "Vegeta will tell you, my child." She moved to say more, but decided against it, "Be well..." She whispered, floating to him, "Forgive me." She placed a gentle kiss on his forehead that seemed to burn through him. "Forgive me."

Chi Chi woke up to the tossing and turnings of her husband and attempted to sooth him, "Goku?" She whispered gently, "Goku..." She jumped back when he gave a groan and arched his back, his eyes opening and he was panting heavily. "Goku?" Chi Chi edged back to him, "Are you okay?
He slowly turned to look at her. Nodding and closing his eyes, he sat up and drew her into his arms, needing to hold her close.
Not knowing what else to do, she held him, slowly probing into his mind, hurt when she found it blocked. She continued to hold him, growing increasingly worried when he wouldn't let her in.

The moon begins to bloom,
And the silver stars twinkle dully,
Wary of the secrets they hold,
Wanting the world to know.

"The meaner they are..." She giggled as she propped herself up with an elbow, "The softer hearted they are."
Vegeta opened on eye lazily, a smirk on his face. Then in one swift move, pinned her under him, "And the more they try to resist," He murmered, capturing her lips with his, "The harder they fall." Playfully, he nipped her neck before rising, "Time to get up."
Bulma sat up, letting the blanket fall, revealing her state of undress. "Do we have to?" She asked with a small pout.
Vegeta walked back to her and pinned her arms above her head, laughing as she squealed, "You are insatiable, wench."
Bulma bucked her hips, "Only for you." She answered sweetly.
Without another word, Vegeta let her go, "I have to get going." He told her seriously.
"Why?" Getting up, Bulma frowned as Vegeta started to buckle up, "You never have to go when you can laze around..." Cautiously, she reached out and tried to explore his mind only to find it closed from her. What was he hiding from her? "Vegeta?" She questioned.
"All will be revealed in due time, Woman." Vegeta shrugged off her question, but touched her mind tenderly with his own, letting her feel his emotions unbarred.
Sighing at his ambiguity, Bulma let it slide, he'll let her know when she needs to know... she just hopes that it doesn't have anything to do with his tail... it grew back the night before and was now curled around his waist. Getting up, she dressed, "Where are you going?" She asked, "Can you tell me that, at least?"
He paused at the window and looked back at her, "Kakkorrot's." Leaping out, he flew off, leaving her to wonder what business he had with Goku.

Waiting for the moon to show her face,
Waiting for the night

Chi Chi opened the door, saw who it was and slammed it shut again. Her husband didn't need to be disturbed. Unfortunately, her strength was no match for the Saiyen and the door wouldn't close. "Go away!" She hissed at Vegeta, "Goku's disturbed as it is, you're only going to make it worse for him."
Vegeta's tail flicked back and forth behind him and he watched Chi Chi's eyes go wide, "I take it his grew back also." He stated dryly, barging in through the door, leaving Chi Chi to stare at him as he made his way upstairs. He found Goku floating in the air, meditating. Vegeta could feel Goku's aura around him, but there was a trace of one more. Someone close and dear to him. "You had a visitor last night." He stated, "That's good."
Goku's eyes opened and he stared down at Vegeta. Not a word was said as he gently came back down to ground. "Who are you?" He asked hoarsely, his tail tightening around his waist.
Vegeta considered his question. In three days was the full moon. THE full moon. He deserves to know, "I'm your brother."
"Brother?" Goku echoed hollowly, staring down at the small Saiyen.
"Your -older- brother." Vegeta smirked. Goku stared at him in surprise and shock, "You're probably amazed, aren't you Kakkorot? I knew all this and yet I still tried to kill you."
"But... you... I..." Goku stammered, "How?" He finally managed.
Vegeta shrugged, "The easiest answer - our father's a bastard, our mother is an Earthling-Saiyen halfbreed. She wanted to save us from the bastard's abuse, but can't save the both of us, so the younger one is spared." He shrugged, "You won the lot."
Goku could only stare at him in shock, "I don't understand. Why tell me this now? Why...?" His tail tightened around him and Vegeta noted his distress.
"Come on." Vegeta moved to the window, "Follow me." Jumping through the window, he took to the air, leaving Goku to follow him, unsure of how to proceed, unsure of his own identity. He quickly caught up and the two flew side by side in silence. Over oceans and lakes, Goku's mind was turbulent, the woman in his dreams called him her child. And Vegeta was his brother? His OLDER brother nonetheless. How was this possible? What about Radditz? He claimed to be his brother also. Vegeta slowed down and flew down to the high cliff.
"Now what?" Goku asked, standing up as Vegeta sat down at the edge of the cliff.
"Look up and tell me what you see." Came Vegeta's answer.
Confused, Goku did as he was close. Over his head was the moon almost full, "You're not planning to destroy the Earth again are you?" He asked, his body tensing, ready to take up stance.
"No," Vegeta snorted, "There's more to life and being Saiyen than destruction," He shot his younger brother a look, "Regardless of what you may think..." He paused and stood up, "We can control our morphed forms."
Goku opened and shut his mouth and Vegeta continued, "We're not full Saiyens. I told you that already. Our mother was a half-breed. Born from the ancient Gods of Earth. In three days, the moon will be full..." He stopped and smirked, standing up.
"And?" Goku asked, looking down at Vegeta, "What happens then?"
"It's an occasion. A special occasion." Vegeta started walking down the cliff and into the grassy area of the mountain.
"What makes this full moon so different from the other ones?" Goku asked, trailing after him, "Besides our tails."
The look Vegeta spared him was pitying, "It's the thirteenth moon of the thirteenth year.
"Thirteenth year?" Goku asked intelligently.
With a sigh, Vegeta closed his eyes, "According to the legend, When the thirteenth moon blooms in full on the thirteenth Saiyen year, the destroyed land will bloom once more."
Goku's face was alarmed, "You mean Vegeta-sai will come back??"
"Yes, yes." Vegeta said as he continued to walk down the mountains, "No need to be alarmed, Kakkorot, you can feel it happening already, the planet is slowly being formed again, life is reborn..."
"People already dying." Goku spat, "I'm going to stop it, Vegeta."
Vegeta shrugged, "Try it, there's no harm." He stopped and turned towards Goku who was staring at him, a confused look on his face, "You can stop Vegeta-sai from coming back no more than you can stop the wind."
"Then I'll die trying."
Vegeta snorted and turned away, continuing his saunter down the mountain, "Come along, Kakkorot. There's a woman that's very eager to meet you."

I wonder who that'll be? LoL Not a really good place to end the chapter, but I have no idea what else to write... damn writer's block! It's extending to all my stories! Argh!
Well, I said a month... but I finished this chapter quicker then I though... I can't promise that I'll have the next chapter in two weeks time, but I'll try.
All right, help me out here, just to give me a some ideas, for the the next chapter,
Should Goku find out about his heritage or should he be kept in the dark a bit longer?
Do you want dreams sequences?
What about Bulma? What should I do about her?
love-princess - Until now? What went wrong?
MysteryDreamer - O_o;; Gimme back my shoe!!
Riannon - It's ASAP. Next chapter... hopefully I'll have it up by two weeks...
mushi-azn - Not a month! A couple of weeks... ^^;; Sorry for the scare...
Shea Loner - Ahh... you understand me the most. Thank-you for your patience. ^_^
