Kaiku sat back on the settee in awed silence.

"So right in the middle of the two locations is where the true enemy is?"

"Yes, but…"

"Weird. That means the skull's known all of this. What if he's planned this from the beginning?"

"Listen…"

"This is so bizarre."

"SHUT UP!" Kaiku jolted and stared at Vegeta.

"What?"

"I can't remember what the locations were!"

{Well isn't he just a fountain of knowledge…}

[He's trying. It was a very long time ago.]

"What do we do?" Kaiku looked back at Vegeta, who actually looked quite tearful. "I messed it all up! I should have remembered those dreams because they were different! And know we might all die and it's all because of me!" he broke down into tears.

[Wow. He doesn't usually react so badly to things.]

{Well you've got to take into account that he's having mood swings because of his pregnancy. And he's gonna want to protect his child, and he messed that up by forgetting the two locations.}

[…I never knew you could be so understanding.]

{I try not to be.} a loud sob cut off their conversation. Kaiku looked sadly at Vegeta as he buried his head in his hands.

[Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease?]

{…fine. But make it quick.} Kaiku wrapped his arms around Vegeta and pulled him close.

"Shhhhh. It's not your fault." He said soothingly, running his hands through Vegeta's hair while the prince cried into his chest. Kaiku (Goku) could feel Supreme Kai in his head trying not to retch.

"It…is…now everyone's…going to die…" he said between sobs.

"You're overreacting. If you stopped to think, I'm sure you'll remember something." Vegeta looked up at him.

"Maybe…" he said, sounding thoroughly unconvinced. He sat up and sighed. "God look at me…I'm a snivelling idiot."

"Nah. Just a bit hormonal. You'll be fine. And if anyone takes the piss out of you, I'll beat them to a bloody pulp." Vegeta looked shocked. Goku would never usually say something like that.

"thanks I guess."

{Sheesh Goku, wasn't that a bit uncalled for?}

[No.]

Vegeta sat racking his brains while Kaiku tried to find a map. However, they both had no luck at all. It seemed Goku had everything in his house except a map and Vegeta just kept remembering hot and cold.

"hot and cold…hot and cold…ok…hot…very hot places are…ovens…NO!" Vegeta thumped himself in the head. Kaiku came through the door covered in dust.

"I don't possess a map." He said, shaking dust from his Mohawk. He looked at the red lump on Vegeta's head. "What have you been up to?"

"seeing how stupid I can possibly sound!" he snapped. Kaiku rolled his eyes and walked to the kitchen.

"Want anything to eat?"

"How can you be so calm?!"

"Whether or not we find the true enemy now, in the long run we'll find him eventually. And no matter what, I can't be more ready than to fight than I normally am, so it doesn't matter." Vegeta stared at him.

"Where's your fighting spirit gone Kakarott?"

"I guess I replaced it with logic!" he said grinning. Vegeta looked down at the floor.

"Great…" Kaiku sighed.

"Look, in any case, we'll be ok. You don't need to worry about the baby." Vegeta unconsciously wrapped his arms around his stomach. Kaiku smiled.

~In the forest~

how can they be so incredibly clueless? If they don't figure it out soon, my patience will leave me completely! And if that happens, you will all be punished! Goten, Trunks, Kibito, Chi Chi, Bulma and Krillin stared vacantly up at their new master, their red eyes blazing-the sign of their enslavement.

"Yes master."

Kaiku went to bed that night feeling very sick. He was all jumbled up inside what with Vegeta, the baby and everything that had been happening. He sighed.

[Why does everything good in my life have to accompany something bad?]

{Huh?}

[When Vegeta came to me, it was as a sacrificial lamb. When he got pregnant, people started disappearing. Everything in my life is wrong. I should be building stuff for my kid, not trying to figure out where this 'true enemy' is. And I shouldn't be fused.]

{…}

he rolled over on the settee and closed his eyes.

Upstairs, Vegeta was debating the same thing, but with himself.

"I shouldn't be going through this! Why does all this shit happen to me? It's bad enough that a huge skull brings me and Kakarott together just so I can die for him, but then I get pregnant and I find myself in more danger than possibly ever before! Great, all I need now is for this baby to be a stillborn." He cringed at the idea. That was his biggest fear. The child dieing. He wouldn't talk to Kakarott, not with Supreme Kai listening. He closed his eyes and fell into a fretful sleep.

~Dream~

two scenes passed infront of Vegeta's eyes. A desert and a snow covered wasteland. Slow at first, the pictures sped up. They became so fast it stung his eyes to look at them. He tried to turn but couldn't. suddenly he was flung backwards and into a tree trunk.

"How you can forget those two locations is beyond me!" Vegeta looked up and saw the bleeding red skull infront of him, hovering in the sky glowing angrily. "you should stop worrying about your child. The way things stand now, both you and Kaiku will die at the hands of the true enemy!" Vegeta gasped.

"What?! How do you know?!"

"I'm not stupid!" the skull snapped. "Both of your powers combined aren't near half of the true enemy's!" Vegeta's eyes grew wide. "now get out of my sight. I thought you would put up more of a fight. I guess I was mistaken." The light enveloped him…

~End Dream~

…and he woke up. He was out of breath and his arm stung where he had crashed into the tree. Wait…he brought the pain from the dream back?! He looked down at himself and saw he had dirt all over his clothes.

"KAKAROTT!"
