Chapter 7: Death of a Prince

Vegeta and Nightcall sat in Kadeta and his kitchen, sipping hot cocoa. Goku had passed out an hour ago, and the pair at the table sat waiting for him to awaken.

"Is he going to be okay?" Nightcall questioned. Vegeta nodded. "He'll be fine. I heard he passed out when Chichi gave birth to their first son."

Nightcall looked at her new made friend. "You mean he has kids? And more than one?"

Vegeta nodded. "Two. Just as you have. His are both male, though."

"Oh, I see. What are their names?" Vegeta responded with the names of Goku's two sons. "Gohan and Goten, in order of age."

"Oh, how old are they?" Nightcall inquired. Vegeta proceeded to tell about the two Sons. "Gohan is 24 and Goten is 13. Gohan is a professor and Goten is always hanging around some sort of female. Gohan defeated Cell and Goten went seven years without knowing his father."

"Wow, that's an amazing accomplishment." Nightcall said sarcastically. Vegeta replied with equal sarcasm. "I know, isn't it?"

"Wha' you two talkin' 'bout?" Asked a very groggy Goku from the doorway.

"Your sons. You never told me about them." Nightcall responded, her statement a question all in its own.

Goku sat down next to Nightcall. "That's 'cause I didn't think you care or that you'd be so mad at me that you'd go kill them."

Nightcall looked shocked, Vegeta just as much. "Why would I do that? I would never hurt anyone you love."

Goku looked away from her. "You killed Chichi." He accused.

Nightcall rose to her feet. "I did not! I told you that the day after she was killed! And I tell you that every time you accuse me of it! I didn't kill that bitch! I was this close, but someone else stepped up to bat and killed her!"

Vegeta choked into his cocoa and Goku snorted very uncharacteristically. "Yeah, right. Who would do that?"

"He would." Nightcall turned on her hell and stormed out of the room. Vegeta stared after and rose to go comfort the pregnant woman. Goku grabbed his shoulder and forced him back in the chair.

"Vegeta…What is she talking about? Did you kill Chichi?" Vegeta looked down at the table and nodded.

Goku went into a state of shock and slapped the prince. "You bastard! Why would you do that! I thought you were my friend! And…And…And you go and kill my wife!"

"Ex-wife." Vegeta pointed out. Goku slapped him again.

Nightcall watched from a safe distance as Vegeta was beaten to a pulp, a senzu held in her fist. She waited until Goku had flown off in tears before advancing on the fallen prince.

"Vegeta? Here, eat this. It's a senzu." She placed the bean in Vegeta's mouth and helped him chew it my moving his jaw with her hands. He swallowed and was instantly healed.

"Thanks." He said, sitting up. He rubbed his head a few times, wincing. "Man, I'd thought he'd have been over it by now."

Nightcall looked at the ground. "Oh, yeah. Sorry about that. I didn't mean for him to attack you like that."

Vegeta lifted her chin and looked into her eyes. "It's no biggie. I needed that."

Nightcall stared into his eyes, seeing more than friendship. She took a step backwards, right up against a wall.

He followed, pressing his lips to hers. She closed her eyes tightly, wishing for it to be over.

Goku was almost to the house he and Nightcall lived in when he felt his mate's ki spike. He turned and speed off back in the direction he had come.

The sight greeting him surprised him more than what he did next.

Goku shot forward, colliding with Vegeta's side, knocking him off of Nightcall. He landed on top of the smaller man, whose fear was radiating off him in waves.

Goku formed a small ki blast in his palm and released it in Vegeta's heart. Vegeta's scream never passed his lips.

I know it was shorter than usual, but hey, I updated! Okay, now that Veggie is dead, please tell if i should bring him back or not.
