Title: The Things You left behind.
Disclaimer: I don't own Dragonball Z or any of the characters involved in this fic etc, I don't even own the plot…this plot belongs to Rolf, my plot bear.
Author Note: So sorry it's been ages, I had …difficulties and there was no internet, when it was finally working again…I was hesitant…but after much encouragement off a friend (The Chichi Slaughter House) and your reviews kicking my butt, I am back!
Dear Flamers and GokuXVegeta haters: Hello, how are you? You are currently reading (incase you hadn't already realised) a GokuXVegeta fic, if this is the kind of stuff you do not like, then do not read it; it really is quite simple isn't it? Now then, be good little people and turn back now…or flame me anyway, if you really are stupid enough to carry on reading, I won't mind, honest.

Chapter Two: Who is Kakarott?
Goku was sat under a tall willow tree, its branches swaying gently in the light breeze as it danced, gracefully through the air. Goku was shaking, but he was not cold…he couldn't believe he had actually done it…no, he couldn't believe he hadn't done it sooner. He was finally free from the hell that was Chichi and her house. A warm smile spread across Goku's face, and tears swiftly followed it, but they were by no means tears of sadness.
Goku had always been able to take care of himself, any other man might have panicked, gone back for food or clothes, but Goku was not any other man. In fact, he was far from it, Goku was not a man, he was a Saiyan.
He had never truly accepted it, he had pretended, he had even gone so far as to hide from it. He was not Goku; he could no longer be Goku, Goku was just a mask. For so long now he had been part of two people. Goku; the weak, simple minded happy face, always smiling, always there to cheer people on, to make others smile, no matter what was happening or how he was feeling. Kakarott; the fighter, strong and always in control.
He could no longer just be Goku; he was ready to accept Kakarott.
But who was Kakarott, other then the fighter who disappeared when he was no longer needed, only to submerge momentarily and then sink beneath the surface again?
There was only one who remained alive, who could possibly understand Kakarott, and he was someone that Kakarott greatly desired to be with. He needed to spar, to talk and just be around another Saiyan.
------------------------
Vegeta stopped mid punch, he knew Kakarott was coming. Everyday in these peaceful times, Kakarott would come and spar with him, until the hell cat had dinner on the table. It was odd, that he was flying. He would usually just use that instant translocation trick of his.
Vegeta awakened himself from his thoughts; Kakarott was on the other side of the door. He turned around just in time to see Kakarott appear as if from nowhere in front of him.
'Ready Kakarott?' Vegeta asked, preparing himself for the fight. "Goku" smirked at him, smirked? Vegeta did a double take, but it was gone the instant it was there, had Kakarott really just smirked at him?! The taller Saiyan took his fighting stance.
To anyone who might have been watching, it would not have been clear just who lunged first, all that would be clear would be that these were two saiyans who could not wait to fight.
------------------------
Meanwhile elsewhere the hell cat, was brooding, and as the old saying goes; "Beware the bad cat, bearing a grudge".
Author Note: This was going to be much longer, but I got a teeny bit stuck here, and thought I desperately owed you an update, so expect another one pretty soon. I'm back and I'm not going anywhere!
Don't worry, Goku's not going to change much, he's just being his own self, if that makes sense? And he will still answer to Goku ect.
And yes, I am aware that that quote is used in "Babe", but I thought it was appropriate.
