Chapter 5In the morning Goku rubbed his sleepy eyes from the annoying light shining in their room. He went to get up but the weight on his chest forbade him. "What?"
"Baka I think we have being ambushed." Vegeta chuckled, as he watched his mate try to get up again. He had been a wake for some time enjoying the quiet and the beautiful picture that was in front of him.
"Geta?" Goku lifted his head slightly to see his mate on his side looking at him with a warm smirk.
"Look." Vegeta raised brow as he pointed at Goku's chest and the uncomfortable display of two cubs curled up on top of their papa. Limbs mixed as they spread themselves to get to their parent's purr that Goku naturally emanated when he slept.
"Huh I think we lost." Goku chuckled
"It seems that way. They must have snuck in here during the night." Vegeta looked at his cubs blissfully asleep.
"Well I'm stuck.' Goku tried to shift.
"I'll leave them with you. I have to go." Goku's brows rose as he watched Vegeta abandon him.
"Hey you can't leave me like this." Vegeta smirked with his mate's plea.
"You wanted them to sleep with us last night. You got your wish baka. Huh." Vegeta chuckled as he stretched his legs over to the end off the bed with Goku frowning.
"This is not fair.' Goku grumbled
"Of course it is." Vegeta took off to the shower with Goku pinned down by two sleeping cubs.
"Great now I need to go." Goku spent the next few minutes unwinding both his sons' tails only to have them rewrapped themselves around another limb. "Geta help me"
Vegeta came in with towel draped over his shoulders and another around his waist looking at Goku half out of the bed with two cub's tails clinging on to some part of him. "You want me to help you?"
"What do you think?" Goku growled getting annoyed
"I think I should let you stay like this." Vegeta smirked enjoying the game of annoying his partner.
"Vegeta" Goku snapped desperate to get to the bathroom.
"Fine I'll help you." Vegeta shrugged his shoulders and approached. Between them both they freed Goku from the cubs. Vegeta went off to finish getting dressed with Goku dashing off to the bathroom.
Gohan, missing his papa warmth, opened his sleepy eyes. "Mirai" He whispers.
Mirai's lids flickered open. His blues looked over at his bothers dark pools. "Chibi"
Both boys sat up as they saw their father walk back into the room all dressed. "You brats be good today."
"Yes father." Mirai watched his father attach his red cape to his royal chest plate. "Father, do you have another meeting today?"
"No I have to go and visit someone outside the palace." Vegeta said.
"Who?" Gohan moved up next to his brother at the end of the bed.
"An old man. No one you know of brat." Vegeta stated as he flipped one side of his cape over his shoulder.
"Artimis." Gohan called from his spot, sitting cross legged on his parent's large bed.
Vegeta's dark eyes narrowed on the young cub. "Yes how do you know this boy?"
"I met him yesterday." Gohan said innocently
"How?" Vegeta moved closer with his hand on the boy's shoulder getting him to look up at him.
Goku walked in to see his mate looking very serious at their youngest cub. "What's wrong Vegeta?"
Vegeta turned to his partner with the same look. "The boy has met up with Artimis."
Goku face paled as he moved over to his son. "Are you alright?"
"Yes why wouldn't I be papa?" Gohan frowned as his papa picked him up and checked him over for anything out of the ordinary.
"Did he said anything to you or touch you." Goku said as he put his son back on the mattress
Mira looked at both parents with his blues widened. "Touch chibi? In like a bad way."
"No Mirai just touch." Goku shook the thought from his head. Goku turned back to the boy in his hold. "Did he Gohan?"
"Well yes." Gohan said being honest.
Goku's dark eyes were washing over with fear as he looked over at his mate. Vegeta shook his head. "I'll speak with him today. Don't fret Baka, the boy is safe. He won't hurt him."
Gohan looked up at his papa whose eyes were now masking his true fears from his boy. "No papa he was very nice. He talked to me and tickled me. He reminds me of grandpapa."
Goku frowned as his nervous hands went to work straightening up the collar of his son's pyjamas. "Well if you see him again you stay away." Goku made a point to look deep into his son's eyes so he could make it very clear he meant what he said. "Ok Promise me Gohan." The taller saiyanjin turned to Mirai sitting on the bed looking at him fussing over his baby brother. "Both of you. You'll to stay away Got it?"
"But papa he was…" Gohan sulked.
"Promise." Goku pulled him closer with his hands on each side of the small boy's arms.
"Promise papa" Gohan said looking very defeated as he lowered his head with his fingers crossed hidden from his papa's eyes but not from his brothers'.
Goku shifted his eyes to Mirai's blues. "Yes papa." Mirai kept his hands hidden in his lap as he crossed his figures.
The father helped Gohan down off the bed. "Good. Now both get dressed and we will see about some breakfast." Goku smacked Gohan's butt as he walked off looking upset as they left the room with their parents talking.
"Chibi you had your figures crossed." Mirai moved closer to his brother.
"He's not a bad man Mirai. You will like him." Gohan said as they walked off to the bedroom.
"Let's get dressed." Mirai said as they walked into their room.
~~~
After breakfast Vegeta got up to leave. "Vegeta how long are you going to be?"
"I'll be back to see the boys train." Vegeta said as he turned to his sons. "Behave, both of you."
"Yes father." Mirai said looking at his father's warning eyes.
"Yes." Gohan said with a smile that made Vegeta smirk.
The boys watched as their parents walked out to the living room. With the sound of the front door closing they hopped down off their chairs. "And where are you two going?" Goku asked as the boys wandered up to him.
"We are going outside." Mirai said with his brother's hand in his.
"No you're not. You're coming with me." Goku said looking down at his two sons.
"Where are we going?" Mirai asked as their papa opened the door.
"To see your uncle." Goku said hurrying the boys out of the apartment. Mirai turned to his brother next to him. Both had the same smiles on their faces.
~~~
Goku, with Gohan in his arms, flew towards where Turles ship was with Mirai flying next to them. All three landed in front of the large oval metal ship that towered over them. "Come on lets go inside." Goku put his son down so they could all go inside the ship.
"Wow this is big." Mirai said walking up the ramp with his jaw ajar.
"Wait till you see inside." Goku smiled at both boys Gohan rushed up ahead looking for his uncle.
"Hello chibi." Turles look up from under a control panel when he sensed his brother's arrival only to see the youngest cub dive for hug.
"Wow I swear you have grown." Turles laughed as he cradled the boy before letting him down.
"Can we look around please uncle?" Mirai asked still in awe with the huge oval control room.
"Go head." Turles said as the boys rushed over to a sliding door. Mirai pressed his hand up against the panel that opened the door. Goku watched his boy disappear behind the sliding door. "Now what are you here for?"
"Can't I just come to see my brother?" Goku smiled sweetly
"You brought the boys. What's up?" Turles rolled his eyes
The smile disappeared from his face. He can't hide things from his twin. "Gohan has seen Artimis."
"He's still alive huh. I thought he would be dead by now." Turles relaxed. He though it would be something bad.
"Turles this is serous." Goku growled
"How so? The old man is no threat to us or do you believe in all that fairy tale stuff our father fed us when we were cubs." Turles said climbing back under the panel. Goku sat down on the ground next to him.
"Well yes I do believe and you know dad wouldn't tell us something that didn't have some truth to it." Goku said watching his brother climb back under the main panel of the ship's computer.
"Some is the word here! Be useful and pass me the wire clippers." Turles held out his hand without looking out from where he was working.
Goku looked behind him and found the tool next to the rest of his brother tools scattered on the floor. "Here."
"So going on." Turles said as he took the clippers.
"Well Vegeta gone to see him and I've told the boys to keep away from him." Goku said feeling better that he has family to talk to instead of bottling this all up.
"Vegeta has gone to see him huh." Turles said poking head out from under the panel with an amused look on his face.
"Turles, will you take this seriously." Goku frowned at his brother's light attitude.
"Goku you worry too much." Turles said as he disappeared back under the counter.
"I knew it would be useless talking to you." Goku growled standing up making out he was leaving.
Turles stuck his head out and looked at his upset brother. "Oh sit down. Ok what is it exactly that you are worried about? It can't be all about Artimis."
Goku, getting his way, beamed and sat back down now that he had his brother full attention. "Well Gohan has been having some really bad nightmares. Both Vegeta and I have felt it through our bond and yesterday Gohan shut his brother and me out. Something had scared him. Vegeta said he was shaking really bad and wouldn't let go of him."
"Hmm did Vegeta see what upset the boy?" Turles sits up straight with his hand resting on his knee with his other leg stretched out in front of him.
"No not really he said Gohan seemed to be looking at Burles, head of security." Goku explained that he had been going over this a lot last night and this morning with Vegeta trying to work it out.
"Burles? What's he doing back I thought he was posted to where ever the hell Raditz went too." Turles growled. He never liked the man. He had worked with him before.
"Vores" Goku said
"Yeah that planet. Why the hell do you want to make that bastard head of security?" Turles growled.
"No one else for the job the last guy was killed." Goku explained.
"Killed huh. I bet Burles did it." Turles growled as his dark eyes looked away trying to put the missing pieces together only to have more un-answered questions.
"Turles you don't know that. We have no evidence." Goku growled. He knew Turles never liked the man he never explained why. They worked together on one mission and Turles hasn't said a nice word about him since.
"I don't have to have evidence. That bastard did it or, he paid someone else to do his dirty work for him. The thing I want to know is why the hell does a sleaze ball like him want with an office job." Turles got up throwing a dirt rag on the controls as he thought about everything his brother told him.
"Maybe he is sick of being sent out to off worlds." Goku said standing up.
"I doubt it. That guy couldn't get enough of the blood that goes with that job. You said chibi was scared. That's not like him. Yeah he's young but something would have to upset him." Turles could feel his blood boil when it came to that man that had no conscience for his actions at all.
"I don't know, that's why I worried. And now he wants to be friends with Artmis." Goku admitted as he looked over at his brother whose eyes softened some.
"That won't hurt the kid. Ok at the most Artims has put a magic hex on the kid and he will die in few days." Turles chuckled seeing his brother's face flare up with anger.
"TURLES" Goku yelled feeling his own ki about to spike before masking it before Vegeta would sense and come rushing to see what had happened.
"I was only kidding. Geeze brother you're strung up tighter than a cub going on its first rut. Maybe you should get that mate of yours to …" Turles chuckled with a wink as he pats his brother on the shoulder.
"Turles" Goku's frown deepens.
"Fine, I said nothing. I only get in to trouble anyway." Turles turned back to the control pad and put the wire clips on the rag.
"What am I going to do about Gohan I mean." Goku moved up closer to him needing his brother's advice.
"I don't know. Have you talked to the boy?" Turles asked his brother standing in front looking for answers.
"I only told him to keep away from Artimis." Goku said. The man scared the tall saiyanjin with the stories his father told them when he was cub. Stories of a great Saiyan wizard who knew of powerful magic, who has said to have lived over three hundred years, in which time he was made a Royal Oracle who the royals would ask for his adviser before they made any big decisions.
"Well the boys here, let's talk." Turles said.
"I don't know. I don't want to upset him." Goku said.
"You'll never know unless you ask the kid."
"I suppose. // Gohan Mirai both of you come back up here // Goku called the boys through his parental bond.
~~~
"I DIDN'T TOUCH IT." Gohan panicked as he backed away from the small fire rising from the control panel in the kitchen a few feet from him.
"Move chibi." Mirai stepped in and moved his brother from the growing flames.
"Mirai what do we do?" Gohan asked looking for something to put the flames out.
"BEHIND YOU" Mirai yelled as the door slid shut locking them both in with the fast growing flames.
