Chapter 8: A Strange Pair
Pairings: G/V
Disclaimer: I don't own any of them but if I did you would know
WARNINGS: This is about male/male relationships if you have a problem with that I suggest that you go elsewhere.
~Christina G: You know I was going to think up another brother but I said no and went with Cooler. Hope that you weren't too disappointed.
~Gokuchan: Thanks for the fabulous review ^_~ I would *love* to read one or all of your stories. I'm always on the look out for yummy yaoi fics. {clap hands for warning praise} You know some people skip the intro but hey I do tell everyone what it's about even in the summary ^_~
~Kewla: Yes, you hit the nail on the head. I'm evil pure and simple ;-P {nods head} Gokuu and Vegeta are not that far behind their captive mates but hey anything *can* happen {makes evil grin} as far as what Vegeta's going to do read on and find out ^_~
~V: Hey, what's up? Email me some time miss chatting w/ cha ^_~ Okay, to answer your question: Can all full-blooded Saiyans go SSJ4? No, only Vejita and Gokuu can ascend to the highest level. Vegeta and Goku can only go as high as SSJ3, and yes the wristbands are Ki dampners. I also agree with you, I don't like the way Cooler is glaring at Goku either. Obviously, the lizard has taken a special interest in our favorite Saiyan in one way or another ^_~
Notes: I hope that I've answered everyone's question if not please let me know ^_~ Enough of my endless chatter on with the story. Enjoy!
~oOo@oOo~
The Super Saiyans appeared in the back yard of the compound. Both, Vegeta and Gokuu picked up faint scents of three unfamiliar males.
The ouji was not happy about this. His anger began rising just from the mere thought of someone, especially another male, touching his mate. The anger alone was enough to make Gokuu shutter as the heightening of pure rage caused the smaller male to explode into a electrifying aura of gold but soon after that it faded, only to be replaced by the soft glow of crimson.
"kuso!" Gokuu whispered to himself as he stood staring at the Prince of all Saiyans.
Mirai and Trunks followed by Goten rushed out of house. They just returned from the Lookout when they felt the tremendous power surge. They too stared in open shock as Vegeta dropped to his knees. The royal began beating the soft green Earth with his gloved hands.
Sparks of red energy rolled off Vegeta with each strike that he made. Cracks erupted from the sheer force of Vegeta's unforgiving intent. Windows around the compound as well as the surrounding areas shattered into tiny fragments as the royal raised his head and screamed over the loss of his pregnant lover.
This was too much to handle even for the prince. Someone had taken his heart the other part of his soul.
Trunks walked over to his Father. He was little scared at seeing this new ascended level. Bright azure orbs slowly swept over bulked muscles and bare chest. Red fur covered arms even Vegeta's tail was red.
His father's gravity defying mane extended a little further up. Long black tendrils graced each shoulder but what shook up Trunks were those eyes. Vegeta's eyes were no longer the hard cold teal but unmoving menacing charcoal with a icy yellow hue surrounding the pupils outlined in blood red.
"Uh, Father---"
"Stay back boy unless you want me to unleash my anger on you!" Vegeta breathless warned.
Trunks' knew not to press his luck and cautiously backed away. Gokuu approached the newly ascended prince. He gently touched his shoulder.
"Vegeta, you gotta get a grip. We have to figure out what's going on," Gokuu said.
The ouji blankly stared at nothing as the younger Saiyan's words seeped in. Vegeta needed to get a hold of what little senses that he had left or he would be useless in trying to find Goku. He inhaled deeply pausing for a moment and exhaling. In doing so he dropped out of SSJ4, which he didn't even noticed that he had achieved.
"Kakarott go back to the mall and get Bulma and Chi-Chi. Obviously, whoever grabbed them took them by surprised." Vegeta said gaining some control over his breathing.
"I don't understand how could someone catch Jita with his guard down? How are we going to find them?" Gokuu asked. Both ignored the demi-Saiyans.
"We'll worry about that later just go and fetch the females"
Gokuu faded in front of Vegeta. The prince carefully walked around the area where he detected his mate last. Not far from the tree he spotted a tranquilizer dart. Vegeta bared sharp fangs. His anger rising again. It seems that the enemy wanted both Saiyans alive.
He suddenly ceased in his ranting as he cursed himself fifty thousand times over for not helping Goku with his telepathy. Now, Vegeta would have to wait until the other baka gets back to see if he could communicate with Vejita.
~oOo@oOo~
Bright lights invaded the Saiyan prince's deep sleep. Vejita woke-up only to have the room fade in and out of focus. The drugs that was used to keep him sedate was reeking havoc on his system. He leaned over the side of the bed to throw-up in the near-by trash bin.
Once he was finished he flopped back down on the bed and fell back to sleep. He couldn't stay awake as long as that crap was circulating in his body. Hopefully, the next time he wakes-up that he would be feeling a little bit better.
Across the room on another bed was Goku. He was pretty much in the same condition as Vejita. He couldn't hold in whatever his captors injected into him. He placed his large hands over his tummy to make sure that his baby was okay. After a few tense moments the tiny being moved letting it's Mother know that everything was fine.
Goku breathe a sigh of relief. He weakly climbed off the bed and shakily made his way to the prince. He nudged Vejita a few times before he saw glazed over onyx orbs. Immediately the prince grabbed onto him and hauled the large warrior on top of him.
/GOOD GRIEF! This wasn't suppose to happen/ Goku was totally mortified. Even though Vejita smelt like Vegeta and looked like Vegeta, he wasn't *his* Vegeta.
"Vejita, snap out of it" Goku pleaded.
The royal smirked. "What's the matter Kakarott? Scared to be this close to me?"
"Vejita this is not funny. Let me go" Goku requested then as an after thought he added, "Please"
"No! Listen baka. Whoever captured us wanted us alive and they left us together. They know something about us. My only guess would be that they think we're mated." Vejita whispered but Goku heard every word.
Goku's expressive windows expended to the size of dinner plates as the grime realization of what Vejita said slapped him in the face. His day was going from bad to worse. Not only did he get captured, which he's quite sure that the arrogant prince will blame him for, but he now has to pretend to be mated to the short tempered Saiyan. Could things get any more complicated?
"Well, I see that you two have finally woken-up?"
The full-blooded Saiyans turned to see that their worse nightmare walked through the door.
/Frieza? But he's dead/ Goku thought as Vejita tighten his hold around him.
It seems that their situation just gotten a lot worse.
~oOo@oOo~
Capsule Corp. was in a state of utter chaos. Chi-Chi was frantically trying to get whatever the Saiyan Z warriors need for their trip. Vegeta had sent the boys to Korin's for Senzu beans while Bulma and Mirai worked round the clock to get Vegeta's ship into top flying condition. Gokuu in the meantime had been trying desperately to contact Vejita.
A day and a half had passed and Vegeta was getting more concerned with each passing minute. He didn't know who took his mate or counterpart for that matter why. Bulma was still running tests on the dart to see if that would give them any possible leads. The blue haired genius also did a full analysis of the damage that was done by the aircraft that landed next to the compound.
Gohan and Videl volunteered to search for the Dragonballs to wish back those who were killed by the ship and to repair the damage that was made. The only question that remained was where was the unlikely mix-matched Saiyans.
Vegeta knocked, it was more like bang, on Gokuu's bedroom door to find out if the brawny male had any success contacting his captured mate.
"Hey, Vegeta!" Gokuu greeted.
It was just sickening how much this blockhead and the other Kakarott was so similar.
Gokuu sat down on his bed looking at the younger version of his lover. He waited patiently for Vegeta to say something.
"Kakarott, did you get in touch with Vejita?"
Gokuu shook his head. "He must be unconscious"
Vegeta just gritted his teeth. This was not the answer that he wanted to hear. He turned to leave.
"Vegeta?"
"Don't Kakarott. Don't stand there and try to tell me that you know how I feel because you don't"
"I do know how you feel because my mate was taken too"
Vegeta turned back to face the larger male. "Hai, but your mate is not 5 months pregnant" He said and quietly left Gokuu in his room to think about what he just said.
/We will find them/ He thought because Kami only knows what Vegeta would do if anything happened to Goku and his unborn baby. Gokuu could only imagine that if it was the other way around my Kami have mercy on his enemies because unforetold destruction would be fall them.
~oOo@oOo~
They stared wide-eyed and unbelieving at the creature in front of them.
"Don't all speak at once. I bet you're wondering why you're doing here?" Cooler said as he approached them. He took hold of Goku forcing him to his feet.
"LET HIM GO FRIEZA!" Vejita growled as his came to a sitting position and standing. Goku might not be his mate but he would be damn if he would let any thing happen to the pregnant male.
"Are you blind? This is Lord Cooler, Frieza's brother" Another voice sounded in the room. The prince stared at the punk haircut blonde with blue- greenish skin.
"I really don't give a flyin' fuck. He can be the president of the United States for all I care for" Vejita snapped but he had to admit that the resemblance was uncanny.
"Well, you should. You see your mate here is going to pay for killing my brother and I think I'll start off by killing your unborn child." Cooler said.
"Please don't" Goku begged. He was struggling against the tyrant's icy grip.
Cooler place his hand over Goku's stomach getting ready to fire a energy blast when the other Saiyan snarled charging the unsuspecting Changeling.
"WHAT THE F---?" Cooler yelled releasing Goku as Sauza tried to contain the enraged prince.
Sauza was kicked into the wall. On his way down he spotted the tranquilizing gun. Vejita quickly turned on the lizard getting ready to send him to the next dimension when he felt something jab him in the arm. He looked back to see the guard reloading the same weapon that was use to capture him and Goku, but before another round was fired the Saiyan prince went down.
Goku scrambled to get to him. "Wake-up Vejita" Goku tenderly requested.
Cooler was still recovering from the sudden attack. "Sauza, why isn't that monkey fitted for bands?"
Just then the doctor walked in. "Oh, my???"
Cooler's tempered flared. "I have no time fore slip-ups and seeing that you're the only one that knows a little something about Saiyan biology I'll let this pass this time. Next time I won't be as forgiving."
The scared doctor just nodded his head not saying a word and immediately snapped the sliver bands on the prince's wrists. Hopefully this set won't explode like that last pair. After a few tense moments the bands held. It was a good thing too because the doctor wouldn't know how to explain the reason for having another pair made.
~*~
Once again the Saiyan royal found his self throwing-up but this time into a bucket that was place beside the bed. Vejita gingerly sat-up and glanced around the room. He noticed that he was no longer in the medical lab but in a regular room. He looked over his shoulder to see Goku sleeping next to him.
He went to the other side of the bed. Vejita place his hand carefully over the other male's stomach and searched for any sings of life. He smiled a real smile when he picked-up the energy signature.
Soft pools of black ink fluttered opened from the gentle touch.
"Kakarott when was the last time you've eaten something?" Vejita asked.
The prince was a little worried about Goku. The Earth raised Saiyan's eyes were bloodshot and swollen. His face was a little wan.
"Um, I think it was when I had woken-up the day we got captured." He replied.
Vejita's mouth fell opened. He took a minute to calculate the time. /That was pause almOST two days ago!/ He stood up looking around the room. Vejita looked up into one of the camera's that was monitoring them.
"Hey! If you assholes haven't forgot, my mate's pregnant and hasn't eaten since you bastards brought us here. I suggest that you bring him something before I get real nasty." Vejita sprouted off.
He waited about ten minutes before someone pushed in a cart full of food. As soon as the door slid opened and the guard walked in Vejita made his move. He grabbed the alien by the cuff of his armor and threw him against the wall and held him there while he told him his list of necessities.
"Listen very carefully you little rodent. Just because Cooler has somehow manage to suppress my power doesn't mean that I'm not dangerous. I can still snap your neck and not think twice about it. I know that that ice freak has a tailor on board, so save me the trouble of sending you and a half dozen of others to the next dimension and just send him down here. My mate require some special clothing."
With that Vejita dropped the petrified guard. "Oh and by the way you need to send in two more carts." Apparently, they didn't take into account that full-grown Saiyan males ate three times as much as any other being.
He took the first round of food over to Goku. He helped the gentle Saiyan to the small eating table and place several dishes on front of him. Goku really had no desire to consume anything.
"Eat something baka"
The larger male shook his head.
"Well, if you won't eat for yourself at least eat for the baby."
And like clockwork Goku nibbled on some food while Vejita sat next to him making sure that he ate everything. Well, that came to a screeching halt when all of sudden he heard-
::VEJITA!!! ARE YOU AWAKE!!!::
The prince nearly fell out of his chair when heard his lover's mental call. Goku peeked at the royal. "Vejita, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. Just finish eating and I'll tell you later." He answered.
::What took you so long baka?:: The prince leaned back in his chair, folded his arms over his compact chest and lowered his head.
~*~
The guard kneeled before the Changeling and explained what had happened and what the Saiyan prince had demanded. Cooler closed his red eyes listening. He just knew that that monkey was going to be a pain in his backside.
"Give the over grown primate what he wants"
The guard bowed and left.
"But Lord Cooler, you can't be serious?" Sauza blurted out.
Cooler's eyes remained closed. He flicked his thick purple tail on the smooth light blue tile beneath his throne. "The prince has somehow managed to get around the energy bands. I don't want that monkey causing any unnecessary trouble. Beside, I'm more interested in the other one."
"Uh, the one that calls himself Goku?"
"Hai, him. The prince is very protective of him. Tread carefully around him when Vegeta's near-by. No telling what that fur ball is capable of doing" The lizard finally opened his eyes. "Set a course for home. 'Bout time we get there I'm sure that I will have a fitting 'punishment' for our guests."
"Yes, My Lord. Maze you heard. Set a course for home" Sauza repeated.
~oOo@oOo~
The faces around the dinner table were a sad sight to behold. Goten was practically sitting in Trunks' lap with his dark tail wrapped around him and Mirai just stared at his food picking at it wondering what his dad and Gokuu were talking about.
Chi-Chi and Bulma kept themselves busy by keeping the food coming for the Saiyan group. Even Piccolo showed up once Dende had informed him of his friend's capture. Vegeta stood leaning against one of the counters in the kitchen waiting for Gokuu to tell him what's going on.
Everyone noticed that Vegeta had been a little more withdrawn than usual as well as not eating. He even slowed down in his training. They guessed that it was from Goku not being around but they couldn't be more wrong. Even though they were a little ways apart they were already feeling the effects of being separated.
The ouji knew that they needed to find Goku and the other Vejita before it was too late.
"Well, guys it seems that Frieza has an older brother." Gokuu started.
"Did you know about this boy?" Vegeta looked up at that announcement directing his hard stare at Mirai.
"No. As far as I knew it was just Frieza" He answered.
"Anyway, the brother name is Cooler and he took me or rather the present me for killing Frieza. Jita's not sure why the crackpot took him but he's pretty sure that it had something to do with when we went to Namek."
"Humph. This Cooler mistook my future self for me. This is just fuckin' great" Vegeta was about to go off but Gokuu wasn't finished.
"Uh, that's not all. Jita also told me that Goku is refusing to eat"
Worried eyes glanced at the Saiyan royal. "Wherever Cooler is taking them they're getting farther away. Kakarott is a little bit more sensitive to our bond because he's pregnant. Don't worry you will start having a similar feeling as well."
"But Gokuu why don't you IT over to them" Goten asked.
"I wish that I can but they're to far for me to do so. I got a headache just trying to maintain the link with Jita. I'm sorry"
"Not only that we don't know what type of situation that they're in and I do not want Kakarott being transported over a great distance. If it was that simple he could have did that when they first got captured." Vegeta said.
"Did you get everything that we need woman?"
"MY NAME IS BULMA! YOU JERK!" Some things just never change.
"I know" Vegeta smirked.
Bulma blinked. She smacked herself on the forehead. She fell right into that.
"We can leave whenever you're ready Veggie-head"
"We??? You're not going"
"Oh, yes I am"
"No, you're not and that's final" Vegeta was ready to strangle her.
"You need me to go Ge. Even though Trunks can help with repairs he can only do minor stuff. If anything major should break down he wouldn't be able to fix it and then you would be S.O.L."
Vegeta gritted his teeth together. The woman was right as always which burned him up to no end. He knew that his future son was smart like him mom but he spent the majority of his time training or had his purple head in a book.
"Fine but if anything happens don't say that I didn't warn you" Vegeta conceded.
"I'm not worried about that. I just want Goku and Vejita back safe and sound," Bulma admitted.
It was settled that they were leaving as soon as they were finished with dinner. Vegeta didn't want to wait another minute. He wanted to find Goku as quickly as possible. The longer they waited the more likelihood they would lose them and that was something he didn't want to happen.

A/N: Whoa, talk about being stuck in the middle of nowhere with your worst enemy. Okay, Goku and Vejita are posing as a mated couple, will they be able to keep up the charade or will they get caught before help arrives? Tell me your thoughts and any questions that you might have.

I know that that ice freak has a tailor on board, so save me the trouble of sending you and a half dozen of others to the next dimension and just send him down here. My mate require some special clothing."
With that Vejita dropped the petrified guard. "Oh and by the way you need to send in two more carts." Apparently, they didn't take into account that full-grown Saiyan males ate three times as much as any other being.
He took the first round of food over to Goku. He helped the gentle Saiyan to the small eating table and place several dishes on front of him. Goku really had no desire to consume anything.
"Eat something baka"
The larger male shook his head.
"Well, if you won't eat for yourself at least eat for the baby."
And like clockwork Goku nibbled on some food while Vejita sat next to him making sure that he ate everything. Well, that came to a screeching halt when all of sudden he heard-
::VEJITA!!! ARE YOU AWAKE!!!::
The prince nearly fell out of his chair when heard his lover's mental call. Goku peeked at the royal. "Vejita, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. Just finish eating and I'll tell you later." He answered.
::What took you so long baka?:: The prince leaned back in his chair, folded his arms over his compact chest and lowered his head.

The guard kneeled before the Changeling and explained what had happened and what the Saiyan prince had demanded. Cooler closed his red eyes listening. He just knew that that monkey was going to be a pain in his backside.
"Give the over grown primate what he wants"
The guard bowed and left.
"But Lord Cooler, you can't be serious?" Sauza blurted out.
Cooler's eyes remained closed. He flicked his thick purple tail on the smooth light blue tile beneath his throne. "The prince has somehow managed to get around the energy bands. I don't want that monkey causing any unnecessary trouble. Beside, I'm more interested in the other one."
"Uh, the one that calls himself Goku?"
"Hai, him. The prince is very protective of him. Tread carefully around him when Vegeta's near-by. No telling what that fur ball is capable of doing" The lizard finally opened his eyes. "Set a course for home. 'Bout time we get there I'm sure that I will have a fitting 'punishment' for our guests."
"Yes, My Lord. Maze you heard. Set a course for home" Sauza repeated.

The faces around the dinner table were a sad sight to behold. Goten was practically sitting in Trunks' lap with his dark tail wrapped around him and Mirai just stared at his food picking at it wondering what his dad and Gokuu were talking about.
Chi-Chi and Bulma kept themselves busy by keeping the food coming for the Saiyan group. Even Piccolo showed up once Dende had informed him of his friend's capture. Vegeta stood leaning against one of the counters in the kitchen waiting for Gokuu to tell him what's going on.
Everyone noticed that Vegeta had been a little more withdrawn than usual as well as not eating. He even slowed down in his training. They guessed that it was from Goku not being around but they couldn't be more wrong. Even though they were a little ways apart they were already feeling the effects of being separated.
The ouji knew that they needed to find Goku and the other Vejita before it was too late.
"Well, guys it seems that Frieza has an older brother." Gokuu started.
"Did you know about this boy?" Vegeta looked up at that announcement directing his hard stare at Mirai.
"No. As far as I knew it was just Frieza" He answered.
"Anyway, the brother name is Cooler and he took me or rather the present me for killing Frieza. Jita's not sure why the crackpot took him but he's pretty sure that it had something to do with when we went to Namek."
"Humph. This Cooler mistook my future self for me. This is just fuckin' great" Vegeta was about to go off but Gokuu wasn't finished.
"Uh, that's not all. Jita also told me that Goku is refusing to eat"
Worried eyes glanced at the Saiyan royal. "Wherever Cooler is taking them they're getting farther away. Kakarott is a little bit more sensitive to our bond because he's pregnant. Don't worry you will start having a similar feeling as well."
"But Gokuu why don't you IT over to them" Goten asked.
"I wish that I can but they're to far for me to do so. I got a headache just trying to maintain the link with Jita. I'm sorry"
"Not only that we don't know what type of situation that they're in and I do not want Kakarott being transported over a great distance. If it was that simple he could have did that when they first got captured." Vegeta said.
"Did you get everything that we need woman?"
"MY NAME IS BULMA! YOU JERK!" Some things just never change.
"I know" Vegeta smirked.
Bulma blinked. She smacked herself on the forehead. She fell right into that.
"We can leave whenever you're ready Veggie-head"
"We??? You're not going"
"Oh, yes I am"
"No, you're not and that's final" Vegeta was ready to strangle her.
"You need me to go Ge. Even though Trunks can help with repairs he can only do minor stuff. If anything major should break down he wouldn't be able to fix it and then you would be S.O.L."
Vegeta gritted his teeth together. The woman was right as always which burned him up to no end. He knew that his future son was smart like him mom but he spent the majority of his time training or had his purple head in a book.
"Fine but if anything happens don't say that I didn't warn you" Vegeta conceded.
"I'm not worried about that. I just want Goku and Vejita back safe and sound," Bulma admitted.
It was settled that they were leaving as soon as they were finished with dinner. Vegeta didn't want to wait another minute. He wanted to find Goku as quickly as possible. The longer they waited the more likelihood they would lose them and that was something he didn't want to happen.
