I am so sorry I took so long to update, I was at my grandparents for Christmas and well although they have a computer they aren't very enthusiastic about me using it and mum wouldn't take the laptop so I couldn't post this, I am very sorry. Hoping you all had a very good Christmas and have a great new year.
The sky was grey, large puffy clouds raced across the morning sky, pushed by the freezing wind, snowflakes drifted gently to the earth beneath them, their tiny flakes adding to the already thick layer of snow blanketing the ground, trees and rooftops. In one small home hidden by the large mounds of snow covered trees lay two people, tangled together, sharing their warmth, their black hair mixing with the others as they snuggled as close to the other as possible. His eyes were closed gently, his large muscled chest rising and falling with each gentle breath he took and Chichi couldn't help but laugh as he snored quietly.
The house was cold and she really didn't want to leave the warmth the bed and his body provided, the softness of his skin and his gentle touch but she was late for work as it was and she would really have to hurry to get there before the final bell rang or trouble was very likely to follow. And so she removed herself from his warmth and began to wash and clothe her body to ready herself for the following day's work, his gentle snores transforming into desperate whines and cries as his hands franticly stroked the bed looking for her, her replies consisting of gentle poetic giggles as she left for the door.
"Where you going?" Came Kakarott gentle but loud voice, he was now laid upon his side and his elbow resting on the bed and his hand supporting his tired head.
"To work, I'm going to be late and you of all people know how negative your Father is about lateness" She replied sternly as his whining continued his other hand now outstretched for her, obviously pleading for her to return to his side.
"Oh fine, look give me a second Angel, I'll dress and walk with you, Father will not punish you if you were 'with me'. We bumped into each other, Mother will have noticed I wasn't in bed and that gives us a liable as to why I was in the garden at that time, ok" His smile was a cross between a smirk and a gentle curved smile as he said this, nodding her head she sat on the small stool in the corner awaiting him, worry constantly racing across her mind in case Master Bardock saw straight through the plan and both ended up in the hot pot, especially as she was very unsure as to what his parents reaction to their relationship was going to be once they found out.
The snow crackled under the weight of their bodies as they walked to the main door of the mansion, talking happily together about many things mostly the weather and how lovely the scenery of the gardens looked, the large building in front of them covered in thick layers of crispy, glistening snow, long shiny icicles hung dangerously from the beams along the high roof tops and window sills, reflecting the light of the slowly appearing sun. He walked with her to the main door; he wanted to kiss her, knowing that by the end of the day he would crave her soft, delicious lips, knew that he would want to touch her silky skin and smell her sweet hair. But he had tried to kiss and cuddle her as the walked along the garden and had been refused so trying now would be a definite rejection. She would want to begin work straight away, her loyalty and determination refusing her to be late, and so they departed, he making sure she met no trouble from anyone for being later than usual, bidding her goodbye sweetly and leaving for his day's beginnings.
Upon arriving at his room he wasn't pleased to find his Mother sat waiting for him, immediately bombarding him with questions.
"Where have you been Kakarott? It's not like you to be up and about at that time of morning." Tannupa was sat on the window ledge, her long black hair much like Radditz's hair pulled up into a tight pony tail, the minute he had entered the room she had turned towards him and was now worriedly walking towards him.
"Oh I woke up early and thought I would go mess around in the snow, maybe get Radditz or the girls with a snow ball or two" He replied grinning sheepishly, laughing gently as his Mother clucked her tongue and chuckled at his planned, childish antics.
"Have you had breakfast? Didn't you wear those clothes yesterday" Her brow was furrowed in confusion.
"No I haven't had any breakfast yet, I'll have some shortly. I need to train with Radditz soon, I promised him a spar" He smiled lightly at his Mother, running past her and grabbing his armour from the stand in the corner, leaving the room as quickly as possible to avoid more questioning.
His stomach growled in anticipation of the thought of breakfast as he ran to the dining room, to eat and greet his already eating Father.
Somewhere in between his gulping down at stupendous speeds of food he had engaged in a nice conversation with his already satisfied Father, somehow able to pull him briefly away from his meal to ask him questions of his studies and their progress. Bardock was keen on his youngest following in his foot steps and not only becoming a great General of the Sayain army but also a great Scientist of their society and was always eager to see how the boy's progress in both strength and knowledge, and like always progress was good.
However Bardock had been alerted to the presence of a new scent on Kakarott's body, a small barely detectable scent of a foreign body, female, defiantly female but something about the scent was different, it didn't smell Sayain. The room had fallen silent; the strange lack of noise awoke Bardock from his thoughts enough to find his youngest leaving the room eager to be elsewhere, the boy had no lessons with him until tomorrow and Bardock was keen to solve the mysterious scent that seemed to cling affectionately to his youngest sons own scent.
"Kakarott! Before you leave I wish to talk to you later on today. Important business. I want to see you in my laboratory where lessons usually take place, at four o'clock sharp this afternoon, and don't be late!" Bardock shouted across the room, Kakarott had stopped and stood still on the spot, eyes intently listening to his Fathers rough, strict voice.
"Of course Father" After this was said he rushed straight from the room barely hearing the loud grunt his Father gave in reply, he was late for his spar with Radditz and his older brothers patience was and always had been very thin and although he was very tired after the activities he had enjoyed with Chichi he was in need of a good fight.
The fight had gone well, as usual he had won, defeating Radditz in most occasions however he had to hand it to the older sibling that he had increased in strength and agility. After the fight he was to go to his sisters for art, literature and social presentation or whichever one they had to teach him today, even though he really could not be bothered with them and their stupid teachings he had no other choice and this would be the last thing he was too do before he was to attend the requisition of his presence with his Father.
Calpurnia and Koln were identical twins which apart from their towering heights and tanned skin looked exactly like his Mother, they had her hair, eyes, frame and temper.
Upon entering the room he was greeted with their smiling faces as they shared a private joke between them, their girly giggles taunting him as they had wanted. They knew he hated to hear about social presentation, always learning how he was to sit, how he was to talk and eat, what to talk about, how to walk and so on everything that made him separate from the lower classes of Sayain and servants. Sighing he listened to his sisters argue over the many forks that were placed on a table, this was the only subject he really despised, being told how he HAD to behave, talk, eat and look, hated being told WHAT he could and couldn't say, who he could and couldn't talk to and most of all the constant discrimination of those lower than him, those less fortunate, those like Chichi.
After a total of two hours of sulking and total boredom Kakarott could finally leave his stupid sisters to argue amongst themselves and fall out, and today wasn't getting any better after two hours of boredom and torture from his sisters he now had another while of boredom and torture from his Father. The laboratory was bright, the air full of the smell of many chemicals, structures and sculptures of many scientific models lay around the room and the boards around the lab were covered in formulas and symbols relating to his Fathers latest experiments or theories, as expected Bardock was sat slouched over his desk, typing insanely upon the keys of the computer and muttering incoherent phrases to himself.
"Father. Am I still required?" Kakarott's voice was loud but not raised with attitude.
"Ah Kakarott my boy, sorry about that caught up in my experiment, trying to find a cheaper, more efficient, longer lasting fuel for space craft and such, is quite the challenge of course, takes a lot of research and experiment but not to long to decipher whether or not the fuel is exothermic or not, not much use if it isn't" Bardock coughed clearing his throat.
This wasn't normal of his Father, Bardock always got straight to the point of a meeting, never talked on and on about something Kakarott presumed wasn't related to the point of the organised conversation that was meant to take place. Inside a voice continually nagged him, his Father was up to something, trying to make him slip, trying to catch him out.
"But that isn't what I wanted to see you about. Now Kakarott you're becoming a young man, and about now you may find yourself feeling new things….."
Kakarott couldn't believe what he was hearing, he had had this talk when he was fourteen from his Mother and Father, why in the God's name was his Father going through this again, his hansom face was plastered with one of mixed anger and shock.
"Whoa, whoa Father I really don't think this is necessary I fully…."
"This isn't going where you think it's going Son so sit down, shut up and listen!" Bardock's voice was raised in anger, strict and he glared sharply at his son, Kakarott instantly sitting down and began paying attention.
"Fine, you obviously find discussing your hormonal activities uncomfortable so I'll cut straight to the point. You are in full understanding that your Mother and I want you to mate with a woman of standard and authority and at this age you will find a few woman appealing to your taste, this will die down as you get older. For the sakes of our family and the family's kingdom I ask that you do not see the woman you have been seeing and who had obviously been very close to you again, do you understand?"
Kakarott's breath hitched in his already clammy throat, his heart pounded loudly against his hard chest, sudden anger flowing through his veins as his words unwontedly stuttered out of his mouth.
"What are you talking about?"
"Kakarott you know god damn well what I'm talking about, don't you dare play the fool with me boy!" Bardock's hand had grabbed him roughly by his shoulders, shaking him slightly as he shouted loudly at his youngest sons attempts to move around him. Taking his chance, finally letting his Father hear his voice, Kakarott let the emotions and strengths escape their concealed areas and erupt through his body, pushing his Father away from him.
"And did you and Mother spare a thought as to what I may want, as to whether I love this chosen woman or not. Maybe I don't want to mate with a woman I don't want to, I care not for wealth or land or power or whether or not she is of authority or not, for the Gods sakes Father I am the youngest of four children I am never laying my hands on this land, never and so I should not have to prepare myself for that time because it will never come."
"Son that does not mean that you can not mate with the leading female of neighbouring lands and claim a new part of land and have a kingdom of your own. Now I shall repeat you will not see that woman again, EVER!"
Kakarott could feel the tears of anger filling his eyes as he heard the lack of consideration for his feelings that his Father was presenting him.
"But I love her! It's too late to stop anything except planning MY future, I've chosen my own path, we've mated and there is nothing you or Mother can do to change that, I will continue seeing her at my own will, goodnight!"
Kakarott shouted in reply spinning on his heel to escape the verbal war and head towards the door and exit to his chamber to calm, but his plans soon changed as he met the sorrow filled face of his Mother, the shouting of Father and Son had alerted her and knowing how vicious the two men's tempers could get had decided to intervene, upon entering the room she had heard everything. Her eyes never left her youngest form as he barged past her in a blinded rage, not cringing in the slightest at the loud slam of the boys' door.
She watched her husband sink slowly into his chair, taking in the news that their son had announced to them. Since the moment he had been born like any other Mother she had loved her child greatly and found it very hard to fall out with the boy, he had been the exact idea of a son or daughter she had wanted: Smart, polite, politically minded, social, caring and most of all well behaved, he had always followed his parents advice, rules and objectives but on the down side he had an uncontrollable temper when it got out, delicate mind and was the only of their four children who's path had been chosen for them, even at a young age he had expressed his anger at not being able to be what he wanted but the choosing of a right mate was expected from all of them and Kakarott had obviously decided enough was enough that this unknown woman was right for him and screw what everyone else thought of it. Tannupa sank to her knees, unhidden tears escaping her deep onyx eyes, she may be a mighty Sayain warrior and the wife of one of the Sayain empires greatest generals and Scientist but the overwhelming fear of being hated by Kakarott was hideously painful, what if she lost one of the most important treasures of her life, lost the one of the few things she needed to live in life, lost her Son, her baby.
