A couple days later from the incident, whether it's a week or a month, Goku can't really tell because of the black hole he's stuck in, he watches the images in the puddle of water intently as Kakarot is turned into Vegeta's lowly servant.

Goku stares at the water in confusion, "If I didn't know any better... I'd say Vegeta's taking advantage of Kakarot..." He blinks a couple of times and then yelps, "Wait a sec! He is!!" Once enlightened, the saiyajin's eyes immediately narrow and he twitches, "Great, Vegeta's ego must be soaring by now."

Already, the ouji has ordered his servant to do the laundry, make the beds, wash the dishes, clean the cabin thrice over, hunt and prepare the food everyday, all of which Kakarot really doesn't know how to do so he and Goku both get a painful education on it.

And whenever the completely oblivious Kakarot asks if Vegeta will teach him yet, the ouji always dismisses him with a wave, saying, 'You're not worthy enough. Go train some more.'

He even watches helplessly as Kakarot stands by and lets Vegeta eat all the food that he had hunted that day.

Infuriated at this atroscity, Goku huffs, "I can't believe this! And why hasn't Vegeta figured out that it isn't me yet?!"

His stomach already feels like it's eating itself and not only that but the training that Kakarot is putting himself through is damn near insane! Goku can't help but admire his determination. Except... "KAKAROT!! WHY DON'T YOU FIGHT BACK?!! I KNOW YOU'RE HUNGRY, TOO!!"

But of course his desperate cries go in vain.

Goku would've hung in his head if his spirit form permitted. Instead all he can do is watch and wait, hoping that somehow the ouji will actually DO something about the change in his body's behavior. "Why are we both just so naïve?" Goku sighs, "Just my luck that Kakarot finds Vegeta, the only one that calls me Kakarot."
