Chapter 2: When Kakarot Melts

"Veeeeeeeegeeeeeeeeeeeetaaaaaaaa!" Gokuh wandered around the Capsule Corp. lawn. "Where aaaaaaaareeeeeeeee yooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...?" Gokuh had been looking for the prince for almost a half hour. Of course, Gokuh isn't as dumb as Vegeta thinks, for he had checked the gravity machine first. However, he's not as smart as we would hope, because from there he had no clue where to go and didn't figure out that the his best bet would be inside Capsule Corp. Gokuh had finally rounded back to the Gravity Machine, ready to pout until Vegeta came back out, when he heard a soft "mew." "KITTY!" he scooped up a small black cat sitting in front of the door to Gravity Machine.

"Wow, you're a cute little guy...!" Gokuh observed while the cat hissed and struggled against the Saiyan's might, "Hey, it's ok, I won't hurt you..." he petted the kitty. "...Hmm...You don't have a collar... and you do look like a stray...so you probably don't have an owner!"Gokuh's ever-present smile grew larger. "I'll be your owner wittle guy..!" The cat struggled even more, alternating from gnawing and clawing, and letting out a series of pitiful "meows." Gokuh waited patiently for the cat to "calm down". Vegeta, having worn himself out, bitterly resigned to accept his fate. "That's better...!" Gokuh happily stroked the worn out cat, taking off for home.

"Ow..! Hey you don't have to claw so hard!" Gokuh pried the cat off his shoulder, "I won't let you fall, promise!" Vegeta dug his new claws into Gokuh's hand, not trusting in his words for a single second. "Ow..." his eyes watered as Vegeta began to draw blood. Gokuh replaced the cat to his shoulder, finding that the cat's claws hurt less there than on his hand.
"Chi-Chi! ...Chi-Chi...?" Gokuh landed gracefully out of the sky. The cat on his shoulder relaxed his grip and sat up regally, well, as regally as one can get, on Gokuh's shoulder. Gokuh circled around his house, "Chi-Chi...? Chi-Chi!" Gokuh found Chi-Chi scrubbing clothes against a washboard in the back yard.

"What is it Gokuh…" Chi-chi sounded agitated as normal.

"Well… I went over to Vegeta's house….and… he wasn't there…. But… there was this cat, see…. And it looked like a stray so-"

"Gokuh! You know we can't afford a pet!" Chi-chi looked up from her wash for the first time sincehe had been there. "It's enough work to feed and clean up after you, Gohan, and Goten! I'm not going to take care of some stray cat on top of all that!"

"But Chi-chi….!"

"No!"

"But look how cute he is!" Gokuh shoved Vegeta nose to nose with Chi-chi.

"No Gokuh!" she tried to return to her work even though she did think that cat was oddly cute.

"But I'll take care of him! I promise….!" Gokuh pleaded.
"Gokuh!"

"PLEEEEEAAAAASE!"

" FINE!" she slammed the laundry against the washboard, wanting Gokuh to stop whinning, "But the minute, I mean the very minute, that cat messes anything up in my house, he's out of here!" Gokuh squealed in delight, hugging his wife before he ran off with his new friend.

'The next time I have to be that close to Kakarot's wife, I'll puke!" Vegeta's thoughts ran on bitter tangents as he rode on Gokuh's shoulder. He inwardly groaned as Gokuh rambled about the many "fun" things they would do together. He let his thoughts wander, allowing Gokuh's words to do nothing more but buzz around his small black, pointed ears.

Vegeta snapped back to reality, feeling a caliaced palm patting him on the head. "We need to get you a name...!" Gokuh continued to pet his kitty.

'oh no... oh no no no no no...' Vegeta's eyes grew large as he sank down low on Gokuh's shoulder. The tall Saiyan lifted Vegeta off of his shoulder and gingerly placed him on the ground in front of him. The Saiyan crouched down to take a good look at the cat. 'Maybe if I distract him I could get away... no... wait! Blast it! He has that annoying "instant transmission,"' Vegeta inwardly mocked.

"How about Fluffy...?" Gokuh listed to most obvious name and Vegeta hissed at him. "How about Blacky..." Vegeta meowed in an oddly deathly way. Gokuh sat down cross-legged, with his elbows on his knees, and one had under his chin. His eyebrows furrowed as he studied his cat to find that perfect name.

"Buster!" Gokun exclaimed with triumph. "Your name isBuster"

'I almost like it...' Vegeta smirked as he being placed on Gokuh's shoulder again. 'I'm Buster. I bust Kakarot's face...' Vegeta's face streched into a full grin, bearing his fangs manically, riding off to where ever Gokuh pleased to take him.
