A Belief in Something More

Goku's Pov

I am, rudely, woken up by someone's foot in my side. I merely roll over as the kicks get stronger.

"Get up, you lazy monkey!" I knew who that voice belonged to and groaned. "Go away King Kai." I murmur and roll over on my back staring blankly at the annoyed King Kai. "Bout time, you should know better than to sleep on the Grand Kai's lawn. Honestly, how can you be so disrespectful?!" King Kai yells at me as I roll over and go back to my Vegeta's arms that I can only visit when I sleep.

Normal POV

King Kai turns six shades of red. "GET UP!" He is about to kick Goku in the side again. however, before he could do that. Gregory hits Goku in the head with a mallet. Goku shoots up like he had been shot, holding his head where a nice lump was forming. "Ow!!" Goku yelps as his fingers brush against the lump.

"Serves you right." Kai cackles. "You should have gotten up when I woke you up.." Kai says in a matter-of-fact tone.

The monkey sighs. "But you were going on and on about the Grand Kai and I don't want to hear about that. Nor do I want to hear about your crush on the Supreme Kai.." Goku mutters but says crush on the Supreme Kai loud enough for everyone to hear.

King Kai's eyes widen to their limit as a few creatures gather around watching the sense to play out. King Kai takes Gregory's mallet which was laying discarded on the ground and beats Goku into the ground.

"Uh....King Kai?" Gregory received no answer from King Kai as he continued to yelling at Goku. Goku on the other hand looked like he was about to go back to sleep. King Kai stomped the ground frustrated by Goku's antics. "What is it Gregory?!" King Kai still irritated about the way Goku was acting in public.

Greg cleared his throat and pointed to the group that had gathered, standing there in front of the group was a shocked Supreme Kai. Kai's eyes grew wide as they had done so many times today. "Uhh..." King kai muttered as he dragged Goku away who looked incredibly bored. Gregory sighs and casts a look over his shoulder at the Supremely shocked Kai, then flies off.

"I don't see what's so wrong with me wanting to sleep, King Kai.." Goku drags his feet like a sulking child. "Its the only place I can see my family...."

......And Vegeta...

"Yes, well, I have no problems with you sleeping, Goku. However, Just don't fall asleep in public." King Kai shoots back hotly.

Bubbles runs around King Kai's feet chasing Gregory, who looked like he didn't want to be chased, Bubbles trips and lets out an odd little monkey scream as King Kai, trips over him and lands in an ungraceful heap on the ground.

King Kai sits up spitting out flowers, dirt and grass, shooting Bubbles a hard angry glare.

Goku fought to keep from laughing at the sight.

This has to be my toughest battle yet!

King Kai, jumps up straightening himself. "As I was saying." He says as he walks on like nothing happened

Goku raises an eyebrow. "Yeah, what were you saying anyway?" He laughs as King Kai throws a death glare his way. "I was just kidding." Goku says his voice still rich from laughter. "That wasn't very funny, Goku. Were you ever taught that you should respect your elders?" Kai walks with his hands folded neatly at the small of his back "Of course, but I never really considered you my elder, King Kai, I considered you a friend." The monkey says in a quiet tone. Kai generally touched smiles. "I think of you as a friend as well."

He smiles, knowing the news he has will be good for the sulking Goku. "I have found out that you can spend a day on Earth, if you want to that is..."Kai knew all about the fact that Goku loved Vegeta, he never quite figured out why though.

Goku's eyes light up with delight. "Really?! Because I have really missed my kids, and Chi Chi, Bluma, and the rest of my friends..." He rants.

"And Vegeta...Isn't that right Goku?" Kai says gently as Goku hides his face so K. Kai wouldn't see the blush that spread across his cheeks. "Well, yea I consider him a friend." Goku says trying to cover up his tracks. "I know you see him as a friend, but you want him as something more don't you?" Kai questions softly. "I...I...I do, King Kai, I really do. I love Vegeta." Goku sighs as he kicks the ground. "But he'd never want me, I'm merely a third class, not fit to even look at him." Goku's depressed voice touched something with in King Kai, though he never showed it, he cared for the boy. "Yes, you are a third class, but you have proven strong enough to be with him, you never know he could love you as much as you love him." He smiles as Goku looks up, hopeful. "Gee, you think King Kai?" Even Bubbles could pick up on the edge of happiness in Goku's voice. "You never know." Came K.Kai's reply.
