He moaned as he awoke from his sleep, Chichi's hands stroking the insides of his thigh. Small, flirtatious giggles filling their room as she teased him. His eyes were now open and wide as he watched her, luring her in before he would push her down. Last night had been complete, it had been life saving and amazing. Kami it had just fixed everything, all their pains and broken dreams, all their passions and longings. He was just glad to be back in her arms and she in his. Today was going to be long; he would have to talk to his siblings and mother, all including his father and Chichi would want to know what had happened to him.

Sitting up her smile faded, the door was shaking as it was knocked upon and they both knew they would have to let them enter. Rolling over they sat up together, sharing a small kiss before pulling the blankets up to the required height to cover their exposed bodies. Growling Kakarott watched his father walking towards them, his eyes however facing the floor.

"Son I think you should go see your mother, she is very eager to see you again. I've sent a message to Radditz and your sisters, they're on their way" Kakarott smiled at his father and pulled Chichi closer to him, entwining her legs with his under the duvet.

"Sure thing Father, I'll go and see her now. You wanna come Chi?" Chichi shook her head gently, kissing his cheek as his father left and let him stand to dress. She still couldn't believe he was back, still couldn't believe he was real and not a ghost or a dream.

Sure the war wasn't over and attacks were still a high risk but not she had her wonderful Sayain by her side to protect her. She smiled back at her lover and blew him a kiss, overly tired from last night energetic 'events'. The door clicked shut and she drifted quickly and peacefully into sleep.

The soft arms of his mother held him tightly around the waist, his father laughing in the corner at his now, blue faced son. It was a weight removed to know he was ok, that life wasn't going to be slightly empty anymore and that his mother was no longer on a war path. As weak and fragile the woman looked, she sure as hell packed a punch and a deadly one at that. Despite her Sayain nature and heritage, her up-bringing and instinct Tannupa very rarely resorted or even indulged in fighting. The last time she had trained was just after Kakarott was born…and that was to get her figure back.

Releasing him she pulled her son to the chairs, forcing him to sit and running out of the room to ensure food, water and anything else she could think he would want was fetched for him. Kakarott looked over to him now bemused looking father, his eyes wide as his wife ran happily with giggles and hums out of the room; she appeared drunk more than anything.

"So Father I need to talk to you about something! When I was away I was a sort of prisoner for the Scientist in charge of this whole war. He's turning people into android type things and was even going to turn me into one. I know where their base is; I want to end this war as soon as possible." Bardock shook his head lightly, his fingers pressed to him chin in thought and his eyes narrow and concentration.

"The elites will be here in a few days. Once they've arrived you can lead the way with other soldiers to the base. We'll get it destroyed before that manic make a whole load of those machines. How on earth he can get people to agree to go through with it I will never know." Bardock sank into his chair slightly, his mind deep into the thought of something when his bubbling wife burst through the doors. Parking herself next to her son and pulling him into her arms again. Chichi not far behind, smiling with great happiness as she entered into Kakarott's view.

"Oh Bardock the Radditz and his sisters will be here tomorrow afternoon. I got a nice message from them all confirming a visit; they all seem glad their little brothers ok." Tannupa spoke excitedly to her husband; it had been a while since the whole family had been together. All at once in one room so they could talk and be like the normal family they had been.

From across the room she watched her lover, his eyes also on her as his parents spoke happily between them. At least he could breathe now, his mother tight gripping hug ending as her arms had dropped loosely into her lap. It was good to have him back, to hold her. He still seemed tired, his body still healing slightly but not over anything serious.

Breathing deeply she snuggled up next to him, her mind and body both tired from the day and their current actions together. The night was warm, the insects chirping happily outside in the distant darkness. Kakarott laid awake watching her, his lips curved into a soft smile as his hand racked gently through her slightly tangled hair, the black silk parting between his fingers and soothing his skin. The window was open slightly, a nice breeze flowing around his room with caressing beauty, his hot body soon cooling nicely as it was assaulted by the zephyr (A/N: Ohhhh go thesaurus button! D)

Eyes like bricks soon fell down as he slipped into slumber. He pulled the soft and delicate body of his mate as close to him as his sleeping body would allow, their hands clasping together as they indulged in slumber together, their dreams of each other.

His eyes snapped open, his heart beating with panic and alertness to the threat or intruder. Something: a sound or a risk of attack had alerted him in his sleep. His body now powering slightly should the threat attack him or his mate. The sudden thought of Chichi causing him to pull her protectively to his body, his arms wrapped around her waist and her head lay against his chest.

The room was dark, the only notable movement the flapping of the curtains as the wind blew gently into his room. Scanning he tried desperately to pick up the intruder, he could smell them, he could sense them and he knew they were somewhere in his room. Somewhere where they could pounce if he moved from the spot he was in. There was nothing else left to do, he couldn't call for help yet in case they were by the door and, he had to protect Chichi. It was all so familiar, who they were. He knew them, he recognised the life force, the spirit emitting from them but something was extremely different about them. Something stopping from pinning who it could be.

As if in slow motion he watched the blast head straight towards their bed, his body jumping forward with the blankets and Chichi in his arms. His bed lay in flames, no explosion just flames as the outline of his intruder lit up. She was different, her body straighter and more muscular as she crouched into her fighting stance. Her face had small cuts and visibilities of metal where skin hadn't properly covered them.

With speed the character jumped forward, Kakarott spinning around and jumping away from her again. The intruders grabbing hands missing their target, but they didn't give in as they pounced again. Kakarott this time outstretched his fist and threw the cold skinned person across the room. The intruder growling again as he pulled Chichi from their reach, they didn't want him anymore. They wanted his mate.

Her beautiful eyes fluttered open from her sleep, her small hands stroking her lovers face as she looked around the room worriedly. Things were on fire, there was a hole in the wall where something had broken through and Kakarott was clinging to her so hard and desperate red welts were beginning to form on her skin. He smiled down on her and looked for the best way to reach his door; there was no way he was going to let them get Chichi. He knew what they would do with her and he would never allow it. She'd died because of his hands before he ever allowed them to use her against him, to hurt her immensely just to gain an android capable enough of destroying him through fight or heartbreak.

She struggled free slightly of her lovers hold, just enough so her feet could touch the ground. Her arms wrapped fearfully around his waist, his around hers. As the dust cleared she watched with wide eyes as their attacked walked forward. Unscratched and unfazed as to the wall they had just been thrown through. Chichi's arms gently loosening around her lovers and his tighten hers.

"Bulma?"

Oh WOW I am so so so sorry with took so long. I was really stuck on how to describe this lol and then I decided to change the plot a little. I can't believe how long I have been writing this story.
