Chapter Ten: Landing
Vejiita snapped out of his trance when he felt the ship vibrate suddenly. 'Must be entering the atmosphere.' He stared down at his sleeping mate, rubbing a hand over her rounded stomach lightly and feeling his son's strong ki. But he could feel his mate's slipping. He scowled and got off the bed, rummaging around in her large bag for the gravity bubbles. He found them quickly and placed one around her ankle before he picked her up gently.
Goku rushed into the room at that moment. "We're landing!" he told the Saiyajin no Ouji unnecessarily.
Vejiita grunted and walked out of the room, heading towards the docking ramp purposely, before pausing and looking back at the Earth Saiyajin. "Here, put this on and give one to your mate. Unless you two want to be squished," he ordered, tossing the gravity bubbles to him. "Who's flying the ship?"
Blinking, Goku replied, "Radditzu... why?"
"He does know how to use the landing thrusters, right?"
Goku shrugged. "No idea."
Vejiita snarled. "Get up there and tell him to use the thrusters!"
"Okay, okay!" he said, running hurriedly ahead of the Saiyajin no Ouji.
"Damn fools," he muttered angrily, walking towards the bridge at a much slower pace, his senses attuned to his mate's ki.
He felt the slight upward push as the thrusters kicked in and sighed a bit in relief. That would have been just lovely if they decided to crash straight into the ground. Entering the occupied bridge, he shot a glare at Nappa irritably before stopping and addressing Radditzu, "Done?"
Radditzu took just a moment longer and Vejiita felt the ship stop suddenly with only a slight tremble. "Now we are."
"Where are we?" he demanded.
"Palace landing pad."
He smirked, turning towards the ramp that was lowering. "You did something right for once, Radditzu," he sneered walking towards it. "Have you contacted my father?"
Radditzu nodded. "Told him it was us and not to destroy the ship."
"Two smart things," he commented, walking out of the ship, the blue-haired female cradled safely in his arms. He immediately noticed the large gathering around the landing pads, growling. His father either spread the news that his son was returning, or the king himself must be coming. He absently noted the Earth Saiyajin and his pregnant mate following right behind him, and Radditzu and Nappa behind them. He glared at the nearest elite guard. "You," he growled, "go to medical and inform them they have a new patient." When the guard just gaped at him, he snarled louder. "Now!" he barked.
The guard saluted and rushed into the Palace. Vejiita growled softly again, walking purposely in the direction the guard took, careful of his mate in his arms. Her ki was still incredibly weak, even for her, but the brat's was fine. He ignored the stares and glances and the whispers that the onlookers engaged in, his mind occupied with his mate and getting her safely to medical.
As he entered the palace, he nearly ran straight into his large father, who gave him a suspicious look. "Brat, what-?"
"Not now, Father," he hissed, walking past him and hurriedly towards his destination.
"Vejiita!" the king snapped angrily, following after his son.
The Saiyajin no Ouji glared at his father over his shoulder. "I will deal with you in a moment!" he barked.
"Now, you listen here, brat-"
"I'm warning you," Vejiita hissed, still walking rapidly into medical. He glared at the closest doctor. "You. Where's Kansho?"
The doctor gulped. "Kansho's on leave, she broke her-"
"Get her now!" Vejiita barked.
"Sire, she is-"
"Now! She's the best damn doctor on this planet and I want her here immediately!"
The doctor took the hint and bolted out of the room hurriedly. Vejiita growled irritably and set his mate down on one of the large unoccupied beds gently. He felt his father come up behind him, and could sense his irritation, anger, and confusion. He placed a hand on her stomach lightly, reassuring himself of the brat's ki and her own. Which was becoming weaker.
"Vejiita, what's going on? Who is she?" the king asked gruffly, deciding on the polite approach.
The Saiyajin no Ouji didn't move his gaze from her flushed face as he answered his father's first question dully, "She's dying."
"That's nice, brat. But she's weak and alien, what the hell does it matter?"
Growling, Vejiita turned to give his father a very malicious glare. "Do not say such things around me, *Father*," he hissed, turning back to her.
"Brat, what the hell is going on? Where were you? Who the hell is she?"
"She is a human."
"That's nice. Who is she?" he barked in irritation.
Sighing, Vejiita gave his father a warning look. "She is my mate, Father."
The king gaped and blinked suddenly. "You're joking," he stated, warning his son he had *best* be joking.
Vejiita shot another cold glare at his father. "I never *joke*, Father." He glanced back at his mate. "She is my mate. And she is pregnant with my brat. And she is dying," he snarled. "I will kill you if you so much as argue with me about this. I have no regrets."
"Vejiita, you know the law-"
"Fuck the law!" Vejiita exploded just as the doctor returned with a Saiyajin female behind him, and his traveling companions walked in. Vejiita glanced at the new Saiyajin to appear. "Kansho, save her," he ordered.
The small Saiyajin female walked over to the unconscious female, and stared at her with a small frown on her face. Her black hair was short and spiky, as all Saiyajin, and her tail twitched as it lay around her waist. "She is pregnant."
Vejiita snarled. "I know that!"
"The brat has Saiyajin blood."
"I know that too, damn it! It's my brat!" he growled.
Kansho glanced at the Saiyajin no Ouji curiously. "You mated an alien?"
Snarling, Vejiita nodded.
She shook her head. "That was stupid, Vejiita-sama," she stated. "Not only because of the law, which was made for a reason. The brat is too strong for her. Which is why we have that law, Vejiita-ouji. Because mating with weaker races often killed the female and if they bonded," she added, trailing off. "You should have known better, Vejiita-sama. Your genes are too powerful, even in the womb."
Vejiita snarled, and gripped the small doctor's shoulder painfully. "Do not lecture me, Kansho. Save my mate. I don't care if you have to kill the brat, but save my damn mate."
Kansho sighed. "I can try," she said suddenly. "Have you bonded with her?" she asked suddenly.
Growling, Vejiita answered, "Of course not! You know better than anyone the length the royal family went through to ensure we did not bond!"
"Good, leave now," she ordered.
"No, I am staying-"
"Brat, let her work. You'll only get in the way, and we have some things to discuss," the King interrupted.
Snarling, Vejiita nodded curtly and shot a glare at Kansho. "Save her," he warned, striding from the room.
King Vejiita shook his head and glanced at the odd group hanging around the room. "Nappa."
"Yes, Ou-sama?" Nappa barked immediately.
"Who the hell are they?" he demanded, nodding towards Goku and his very pregnant wife.
Radditzu stepped forward slightly, interrupting the rude Saiyajin elite. "He's my brother, Kakarotto, and his mate. We found them on Earth."
The king nodded absently. "Fine. Find them a room, Radditzu. I'm going to have a talk with my brat."
Nappa coughed slightly grabbing his King's attention. "May I be dismissed?"
The King rolled his eyes. "Go see your mate, idiot."
Nappa nodded and exited the room, shortly followed by Radditzu, Goku, and Chichi.
Vejiita no Ou turned and looked at the doctor examining the blue-haired Chikyuu-jin. "Kansho."
"Hmm?" she replied absently.
"Do you think my son was lying?"
Blinking, she glanced up at him. "About what, Sire?"
"About the bonding. After all, he should be more worried about his brat, not the female."
Kansho shrugged. "I don't know. It's possible, as he was more concerned with her, so I'm not ruling it out. But it is a bit difficult to read your son. Why?"
"Damn," he cursed. "I cannot have you kill the female then."
Kansho growled. "No disrespect, Vejiita-ou, but I wouldn't have complied. I am a doctor, not a murderer."
The king waved his hand. "It does not matter, I will talk with my brat," he growled, strolling from the room.
~~~
"Don't inform Furiza I am here," Vejiita ordered his father as soon as the man entered his rooms.
Scowling at his son, King Vejiita demanded, "Why the hell not?"
"Furiza wants to destroy Vejiita-sei."
The older Vejiita scoffed. "Furiza isn't going to-"
"He ordered Zarbon to kill me, only he failed, Father. He wants me dead first and if he knows I'm here, he'll carry out his plan."
"Furiza wouldn't-"
"Yes, he would!" Vejiita roared. "You were never forced to serve in his army, Father! You do not know Furiza. He is afraid we are getting too powerful and may someday be a danger to him. He wants us destroyed now!"
The King frowned. "Fine. I'll fail to inform him about your whereabouts." He glared at his son. "What happened out there? Why have you returned and with an alien mate?"
Vejiita sighed and sat on the large blue sofa tiredly. "Zarbon and I fought on Arlia. I wasn't strong enough to defeat him, but I injured him enough to escape. I landed on Earth." The Saiyajin no Ouji shrugged. "She and her friends saw me land and she took care of my injuries, allowed me to heal. Zarbon showed up, but because of the previous fight I was stronger, and I killed him almost effortlessly. Radditzu and Nappa joined me on Earth and then we traveled here. I didn't leave her on her planet because she was with my brat, and we had found Kakarotto, who is amazingly strong for someone who thought he was human. His mate was also with a brat so we took her as well."
"Why did you mate her? How is possible you wanted to? She is a freakish-looking-"
Vejiita snarled, and pinned his father to the wall by his throat so fast the King had no chance to evade it. "You listen to me, Father. I am stronger than you, and despite the fact I have taken an alien mate; I can claim your throne now. She is *my* mate and she will be treated as my mate, human or not," he hissed into the taller Saiyajin's face.
"She will be a weakness to you, son," the King said suddenly.
Vejiita released his father's throat and sighed. "I am aware."
The king also sighed. "I apologize, Vejiita. I am the ruler here, and I have to do what is right for all Saiyajin, not just you."
Growling, Vejiita nodded curtly. "I know, Father. I did not really... plan to mate. Ever, actually. But... she happened and I cannot even regret it."
King Vejiita nodded knowingly. "The same as with your mother, brat. No one knows this, son, and it needs to be kept that way, but I bonded with your mother. Why do you think she still lives after you reached adulthood?"
Vejiita gaped at his father. "You?!"
Vejiita-ou nodded. "Yes. That is also the reason I allowed the alliance with Furiza. I didn't want to be forced into it by a threat on her. Then it would be known that she is my bonded mate. Vejiita, you need to control your protectiveness of this human you mated. If any of our enemies suspect you care for her, she will be killed."
Vejiita nodded curtly. "I am not stupid, Father."
"I know you are not. Are you sure you haven't bonded with her?"
Suddenly, Vejiita slumped into a chair, and looked up at his father. "I have no idea."
"How long have you been mated?"
"A little over five months."
"How far along is she?"
"Five months."
"Why did you get her with a brat in the middle of all this, Vejiita? It's dangerous if Furiza knew you had a brat on the way. Or a mate."
"I..." He closed his eyes, reaching out for her familiar ki, finding it, much to his relief. "I have no idea. I just... did."
The king sighed. "What are your plans right now?"
"Wait for her to heal." He shrugged. "After that... I have no idea."
"And if she dies?"
Vejiita growled. "Then a lot of people will join her," he growled.

AN: Again, Kansho is mine. Name means sweet potato. Blah, blah, blah. *Sigh* Anyway, it's a bit short, but I like it! *Hee*
Lovies!
