Chapter 2: A New Home

A/N: Well i'm pleased that there's some interest in this. I'll hope to extend onto this fanfic. In Addition the GoChi awards were put up on Tumblr. You have till Chi-Chi's unofficial birthday to cast your votes for top Fanfics and Fanart. I was nominated for Master and His maid, but please read all works and thank the other authors and artists for what they do.
As well as thanking Snolane for beta reading this and fixing my mistakes.

"Well, I'll show you around and tell you what to do and not do, my afternoon schedule is already gone at this point so I don't see the harm in giving you the tour." Kakarot released a a large sigh before cracking his back. "Nevah, get over here!" He barked as the pink skinned house caretaker appeared from the side and approached her young lord and new addition to the household.

"Yes, sir?" She asked, politely bowing her head.

"Introduce yourself, no doubt I'm sure you'd like to meet the newest caretaker." Kakarot explained as he looked between the two and their stark contrasts. Chi-Chi was more than a foot taller and her skin tone were more akin to his own if not smoother and less built for fighting than appearance. Maybe some kind of a pleasure race? He had to admit she didn't look that bad, while most saiyan women had a richer caramel or tanned skin tone, though he and his father did not share that same dark coloration, it was a bit rare but not uncommon for saiyan men. Though as he looked at Chi-Chi, the ivory or light cream colored texture of her skin was a pleasant contrast.

The contrast to her own skin was stark to the rich brown and red textures of the house. Like a redwood tree had polished and waxed the entire floor save the stairs which were a lighter red stone. The adorning decorations weren't one of wealth and heritage, but of status and power. Images of victorious poses, damaged armor, broken weapons, and some cleaned skulls were affixed to the walls. As a warrior race the more trophies the better.

Bringing a hand up he touched her shoulder, "Well now come on." He laughed as his fingers lightly squeezed her arm and then dragged down just for a moment.

Missing the subtle gesture Chi-Chi bowed her head, "I'm Chi-Chi and I'm from Earth, a pleasure to meet you, Nevah." Chi-Chi said offering her a handshake.

The pink skinned alien stared at the offer unsure of it. "I am Nevah, I am a Norlean though I do not understand this action?" She gestured with her hand and outstretched her palm like Chi-Chi but did not grasp it.

"It's a handshake, a greeting on Earth." The earthling explained her hand grasping Nevah's and gently shook it. "It's another way of saying hello."

The pink Norlean nodded, "Such a strange greeting. I shall show mine then." Coming closer, she offered two light kisses on both sides of Chi-Chi's cheek. "I welcome you as a Norlean, a kind greeting." She smiled as Chi-Chi smiled back at her.

"Nice to meet you, too."

"Prepare a bed for her in the servant's wing. No doubt she will need it after tonight." Missing the slight grimace on Chi-Chi's face as she didn't understand what that was going to be implying to her. Stretching his hands back behind his head. "Well, it's time you follow me, no doubt you met my very stressed father during the purchase correct?"

Nodding her head, "I have. Your family, I'm assuming, is not as intense as I was led to believe then?" She asked, to which Kakarot offered her a grin. "Or perhaps not…" The notion that all of the saiyans were that crazy in this house did not offer her much comfort. Much less the ten years, if it went that long. But the money was far too much to pass up, she could retire somewhere in the universe after it was all said and done, but the daunting prospect wasn't doing her any favors.

"No, we're one of the clamer elite families, which have they been explained to you?" He questioned fairly certain that she wouldn't. But it would come as no surprise to him, most weren't and to some extent wouldn't understand the sophistication-though he used that term loosely- of upper saiyan politics. It was just a lot of infighting, each one attempting to smear the next family or show off their strength to gain favor with the royal family. King Vegeta, his queen and their first son Prince Vegeta.

The two began to walk slowly as Kakarot set about the task of showing their new caretaker what to know and what not to know on this world. "I'll list in order the importance of the royal houses, sadly my father's house is third in the royal list. Not the worst but in saiyan society there is only the privilege of being the best and as close to the royal family as one can be. My family's lineage is one of the best planet purgers in the race," He felt some pride in saying that.

"Does that mean you?" Chi-Chi asked, her voice trailing off as to not push the answer she didn't want to know. They walked down one of the hallways leading to Goku's first and most important stop.

The Kitchen.

"Me? Sure, I've done it numerous times," He admitted casually as if the idea of wiping out populations was another everyday occurance. "While most teams use the power of the Oozaru to crush worlds, a professional team doesn't need to do that. The less damage the more value a world has, the less need to fix what doesn't need to be broken, if you know what I mean."

Chi-Chi stopped as she didn't understand something, "What is an Oozaru?"

Kakarot cocked his head to the side, "You really don't know much about saiyans, do you?" She shook her head, this might be more of a headache than I once thought. At least she isn't pretending to know what I'm talking about. "Alright well, simply put, this is," He pointed down towards his tail coiled around his waist, "my tail and all saiyans have the ability when under the effects of pure moonlight allows us to tap into our true power and become Oozarus, a powerful beast like form ten times larger and more powerful than what you see now. The ability to level cities in seconds rather than minutes, turning a world to a smoldering wasteland by even the weakest of our kind. I myself had to utilize this power when I was sent on my first purging assignment when I was less than a year old."

"My god, you were just a baby?" Chi-Chi gasped, "Why would they send you out like that? You-"

"It's completely natural, all saiyans are expected to be measured by our fighting strength, will, and instinct. It's a form of evolution, the goal to make more powerful saiyans from each generation and continue that road. If our race wants to remain on top we merely have to keep pushing ourselves in every manner possible."

"But why babies? Wouldn't your mother not want you to get killed and at least not kill an entire planet?" The notion of children being sent to fight and clean up worlds with other living beings was truly monstrous. Though she knew she had no place to tell a saiyan, of all things, that. Chi-Chi wanted to know exactly why, there had to be a better reason for someone to risk their own children like that. What mother would allow that?

Kakarot shrugged, it wasn't a big deal. "Sure, my mom didn't want us to end up dead, but she also doesn't want a weak child. If I can't look after myself, protect myself then that means I wouldn't be able to take care of myself when I got older. Granted not every child is sent on a world purging assignment to be just as difficult as a purge team, but it's just how the universe works for us saiyans. But being an elite family we have to show that we are worthy of that, I had to do it, my brother, my mother, and father. Along with every single saiyan who claims to be an elite, save two of them who belong to the elite houses. But their reasonings were much different, though, I still feel they're cowards and weak for not going through with it." But he opened up the door to the kitchen and led Chi-Chi inside the massive sprawling expanse the size of a small house, ovens, devices that she recognized and others she did not.

"Now this is my personal favorite, I love my food, almost more than my family. If you need a moment to just look around you can, we've got full sized smokers, friers, automated stations for fruit and vegetables and the selection of herbs and spices that you can't find anywhere else in the universe, save the royal palace."

It was quite impressive, even Chi-Chi had to admit that. Back on Earth her father's palace had a kitchen made a quarter this size, she could fit her bedroom, bath, and study all in this room and still have room to spare. Her eyes roaming over the massive stockpiled ingredients, all of them using the latest technology, from earth ironically. "You guys have capsules?" She asked looking to Kakarot who nodded. "Wow, I didn't think Capsule Corp was already trading with the saiyan empire. I thought they would've been swallowed up like so many other groups on Earth when the trade federation moved in."

"A decent asset, the ability to store things in a smaller space, I believe it was the queen who demanded that this technology become integrated into the planet as fast as possible. I'm sure these little devices probably kept your planet intact."

Chi-Chi didn't comment on that thought, it perhaps made some sense. There was real value on the world, she just assumed that perhaps the rest of the universe had something similar if not better. It was one of the few times that she was grateful to be wrong about that.

"So, since you're familiar with Earth tech then you shouldn't have too much difficulty working these devices. No doubt Nevah, the Norlean you met will be able to assist you. She is an exceptional cook and Viv, who you have not met yet, will also be assisting you with meals."

"Who is she? I remember your father mentioning that name before in a very certain pretext with your brother." Chi-Chi could recall that name somewhat though exactly what she didn't recall.

He sighed, "Viv is a seven foot tall arachnid humanoid," His eyes watched the surprise in Chi-Chi's brown eyes. "She's not all spider, but she has four eyes, and two very large retractable fangs that she hides inside of her jaw. She also has radiant white hair, with her lower body being half exoskeleton and the top having four arms and why my brother finds her so entertaining is the fact she has four very large breasts."

Chi-Chi tried to let her mind picture the woman… but she failed to create a realistic version that didn't have a human body with the face of spider on it. "I assure you she looks no worse on the eyes than any other being in this house that's a caretaker. But no doubt you'll grow accustom to all of them as you all share the same quarters, if you can handle Viv digesting her food with a potent venom from her mouth than their shouldn't be any problem with her. She's quite passive and gentle." That still didn't alleviate the freakish image she had of her.

"Is there anyone else that works in this house?"

"A few, the lizardmen outside work the property to keep it neat and reside within the lake beside the house but you'll rarely see them indoors it will mostly be you three after our last caretaker was lost." Kakarot added resting his hands on his hips. He could already see the question forming on Chi-Chi's lips. "Basically, she was taken by another house, as elite families we give up our property to the top family and if we so choose can fight to earn that property back. Mostly this takes the place of land or servants, should one family have a particular cook, cleaner, launderer, landscaper, another has the right when it comes to when our families compete with one another to take some property if they so choose to do so. Basically your predecessor was won by the other house of Nappa, more as a slight to my father who failed to best him in single combat after being goaded into the whole match. My father could've waited some time to possibly win her back but that didn't happen and he ended up purchasing you. But it doesn't really matter, the next showing of the elite houses won't be for several months."

"And what exactly does that entail?"

Kakarot chuckled, "Well lets talk and walk." Kakarot said waving his hand for her to follow from the kitchen. "Overall it means a contest to prove ranking, as I said before there are four houses. House Nappa which is first, House Cabba which is second, our own, and house Paragus which is currently the lowest. Though Nappa's elite family is currently only him, his wife and son died in battle, Gods rest easy upon their souls." Making a small token gesture, "The Cabba's have several saiyans as their mother and father passed in a the same battle as Nappa's family. Their head is a young saiyan male, he's eager and idolizes the royal family and is loyal to a fault. His two sisters are Caulifa, a brash energetic thing that personifies the willingness to fight as a female saiyan and the odd black sheep Kale who is arguably the exact opposite."

"How is she the opposite of her sister? Wouldn't they be the same?" Chi-Chi asked curiously.

Kakarot wasn't sure how to answer that, "You would imagine but Kale is frail, she has no lust for true battle and is often cowering behind her sister. I can imagine the fact that her purge world when she was sent off as an infant had quite the effect on her. Possibly because the world was ruled by a race of superior beings who adapted their bodies to survive almost all toxins and live practically without clean water, food, or air was too much for her. Even with her Oozaru form she failed to purge the planet, she was spared due to the fact that my father's team just came by to investigate that day and saved her life before she was killed after her tail practically rotted off from how polluted this world actually was. I believe that crippled her in mind and body, though one day she might recover, I do not see it happening." He looked to Chi-Chi who obviously was expecting more for her answer. "Perhaps it would've been better had she of died on that world…" His tone was solem as his feet softly thudded along the floor. "It's because of Kale that so many elites died trying to save her. She was still feeble and trying to do more than she ever could manage…."

The image was one Kakarot could not forget, during that day of pure hell where the saiyan's battled for survival once again. The tuffles having kept a long isolated plan to destroy the saiyans once they had failed. "I'm assuming you know little of my people's past?"

Chi-Chi nodded, "I only know the basics, I don't know much more of your history or culture other than you love fighting and eating. Luscious really didn't provide me with any books to know about your past and, as you've said a few times, I'm from Earth and I don't really know much about what goes on here."

"We had a battle the likes of which we've never experienced, a war against soulless vesselless Tuffles. Their bodies nothing more than machines, but I won't explain it in detail that is a story for when I have a few hours to tell you all about it, but during that fight Kale was taken prisoner and Nappa's mate, son, her own parents, and Paragus's mate died trying to save her… It nearly killed my own mother, the desire for so many of them to protect their offspring and Kale was planned to be Nappa's son's mate in the future so he went along as well. That was… was truly a horrific day, so many saiyans died for so little against an enemy that was already dead…. But enough of that, we've still got the next big project of yours being the laundry room."

Coming to another section of the house Kakarot revealed to Chi-Chi the next area of improvements, a fully automated system, but that wasn't going to be her primary job because dumping a load of laundry was child's play. A saiyans armor was far more important.

"You see appearance means a great deal to our people, your job will be to polish, buff and clean these sets of my family's armor. Each one was made and given a blessing by the royal family to wear. As you can see it bears our family crest on the front and the on each shoulder the royal house of Vegeta-sei. It is what we wear for true battle, and when we are going to be with King Vegeta. These are to be maintained to the highest of standards, granted they don't require a great deal of work now but should they be worn we expect them to be like new after they are worn."

"Are they a one size fits all? They seem rather small. It reminds me of a pair of armor I wore as a little girl, it had the ability to expand to meet a certain size." Casting a glance back at Kakarot who had a smirk on his face. "What?"

"A princess in armor? Were you some type of warrior princess?" The idea of a foreign female warrior beauty… that might actually be intriguing.

"I guess you could say that, I was just trained in martial arts, I mostly could throw a bladed helmet and use focused ki attacks." Thinking back she found herself smiling at the memory, though that blade did find its way into Master Roshi's head one time. The old man or pervert as she believed to call him had a certain habit that just irritated her. "Why, interested in a little one on one?" She teased flexing her arm.

I take it back… not intriguing, she's a little hot. He laughed, clearly amused, "Maybe I will, but you haven't even worked a day yet, I can't break you."

"Well, your loss then." She replied tossing her hair back, though she knew she was flirting with him, albeit lightly. Kakarot wasn't too bad on the eyes, he held none of that male dominance that his father did. Importantly however, she wanted her new owners to like her, if being a little playful was what she had to do then she would. This was going to be her life for ten years and although she wanted it to be a pleasant journey there wasn't the naivety that she might be forced onto her back at some point and have a heavy saiyan dominating her body. But if she made them enjoy her company that might not happen or not as often as she would like.

Submissive but proud, that's what Luscious recommended for her when she accepted this job. The saiyan slave trader made it no secret how to make it through. She looked good, was able to cook, and maintained herself like a proper woman then it would be a worthwhile job for her. It was the human equivalent of nearly fifty million dollars for ten years of her pure dedication and loyalty to a saiyan house and most houses often rewarded their contracts with even further money if they did a particular good job. Others were fortunate enough to earn citizenship on Vegeta-sei and live in one of the crowns of the universe as an honorary citizen. Something not given out lightly as there were more saiyans than honorary ones.

So Chi-Chi would be a proper woman, flirt and be coy when it was required, but also she would work hard and do what needed to be done. Believing if she was going to start this off right she wanted at least a good impression of the young saiyan Kakarot first.

He grinned at her his hand softly stroking his chin as he closed his eyes for a moment and chuckled to himself. "Well, let's keep going, shall we?"

The two made their way down the rest of the hallway to a large staircase that rose up to the next floor. It was the elite's personal section of the house. Where Kakarot, Raditz and his parents had their own quarters. As they came up the stairs there was a heavy thudding that even Chi-Chi could hear. A twin double door that almost seemed to be vibrating as well.

"Our rooms are soundproofed, more so for the sake of my mother and father. I'm sure you heard the little exchange between the two of them, correct?" Kakarot watched Chi-Chi, wondering just how much she was paying attention to their exchanges.

"Yes…" She admitted slightly biting her lip as there was some heavy grunting going on from behind that door. "Your mother wants to have another baby?"

Nodding approvingly, "Good, it's nice to know that you were listening. Also pay that no mind, I'm sure my father was cursing up a storm no doubt about this whole thing. But my old man is just frustrated that he hasn't been successful and its been putting stress on him more so than normal. I know my father's intensity but his biggest requirement is loyalty and I'm sure he put you through some trials, as have I, just to see what kind of person you are and, I'll admit, I'm satisfied with what I'm seeing for the most part if this is genuine." He smirked as Chi-Chi's eyes widened in realization.

"This was a test as well?"

He nodded, a self satisfied smirk still on his face. "Well of course, I was evaluating your attentiveness, personality, and temperament. Just because someone like Luscious recommends you to us doesn't mean we didn't have to keep you. I wanted to see how you would handle looking at what we provided for you and your response. While normally my father would see to this aspect I decided to take care of it due to my mother occupying his time."

Kakarot wasn't going to trust anyone who stepped into his house, he wanted to have a good firsthand account of what was going on, who was living here and what they would do. In his opinion, he liked what she was offering, a little bit of spirit and not a lifeless doll.

As Kakarot kept her walking the door to one of the rooms opened up. Out walked was the servant Chi-Chi could easily tell. I suppose this is Viv… The woman was two heads taller than her, and a good six or seven inches taller than Kakarot.

She looked to Kakarot and Chi-Chi and politely bowed, wearing the same outfit as Chi-Chi. "Kakarot, how may I help you?" Her pairs of eyes a ruby red, with pure white hair that was cut and just touched her shoulders. Her smile appeared human or saiyan, save Chi-Chi could see the two large fangs slightly protruding.

"I suppose you enjoy my brother's room far too much, Viv, you do know how my father dislikes that." Kakarot sighed shaking his head to which the woman shrugged.

"I am doing as I am told, but maybe you should call me to yours?" She said winking half a set of her eyes.

"Not my type, Viv, but you should meet your newest caretaker. This is Chi-Chi, a new earthling." He gestured to her to which the other woman came forwards.

Chi-Chi didn't feel intimidated, but the size difference was significant as she fell between Nevah who was shorter than her and this amazon of a woman. "Welcome dear, as you probably can tell I am Viv. Pleasure to have some more help here." Reaching down she gave Chi-Chi a friendly hug. Her fingers a bit longer than what Chi-Chi would consider normal but it wasn't too bad as she returned the embrace. The two were going to be pretty much living together until she finished her ten years. Might as well get better acquainted.

"I suppose my brother will still be indisposed?"

Viv nodded, "For a bit. Shall I take our new house guest and get her get settled in?"

"No, that won't-"

A loud bang was heard outside drawing the attention of the three house occupants as they looked to the landing pad. Kakarot's saiyan eyes catching three more space pods that appeared coming down. Releasing a frustrated groan, Kakarot rubbed his forehead. "Go ahead and take her, Viv, I will have to go and greet my father's party since he'll still be busy for awhile."

"Very well, come with me, Chi-Chi, let us set up your living arrangements." Gesturing with her hand the other woman followed without another word before the heavy impact of three more space pods came from outdoors. As the two rounded a corner, Viv looked to her and smiled. "You were fortunate to be brought here, I've been in this house's service for almost a year now and it has been the most fortunate of dealings."

Chi-Chi's head turned towards her red eyes. "I suppose I'll still need time to adapt to all of this. There is quite a lot to take in." Her words making the other woman smile.

"Of course dear, but that is why there are three of us in this house, with all of us we can easily take care of things here and, as personal recommendation, I would advise you to gain the favor of the young Kakarot as I already have Raditz." An adulterated look shined over her eyes, her words insinuating exactly what she was intending.

"I would rather not, you are free to do as you wish but I just don't want to be seen as a… well." Chi-Chi's words slowly trailed off as she didn't exactly wish to insult the giant next to her by calling her something she might not see herself as. But the other woman had a different thought about that.

"A whore? No dear, that is not what you would become." Viv corrected her, "You would be satisfying a saiyans very, and I mean very, demanding desires. This works in your favor my dear and not because you would be one of his women."

"Oh really?" Chi-Chi said sarcastically. "I don't mean to offend but how would doing that willingly help me aside from making the lord Bardock furious with me?"

Viv released a high laugh as they stopped at their quarters, her hand twisting the knob and revealing their private quarters. "Bardock may be mad with you but… if you happen to warm a saiyans bed from time to time you will be much less likely to…"

[***]

"Oww these damn things!" Shugesh yelled as he pulled his large body out of his saiyan pod. "The fucking brakes aint worth shit, I about broke my face through the windshield."

"I feel that would be an improvement for your features." Boros laughed as he pulled himself out of his.

"Like a reverse mohawk of a saiyan has any right to mention my looks, your mug is about as attractive as the arse of a dungshi!" Shugesh fired back.

A female yawn came out as another body pulled itself free from the confines of the saiyan pod. "You guys are already yelling and I just woke up. Can't it wait till I've had a few drinks?" Fasha sighed as she cracked her neck. "That job is finally done and we can come back and crash, but the first thing I hear is the sound of you two bitching… no wonder Bardock doesn't tag along anymore." She sighed shaking her head as the first saiyan to land approached her.

Tora the de facto leader while Bardock was not present. "Ah it's alright and it appears we've already got our company." Eyes looked ahead and saw the saiyan approaching them, though it did not hold that dominate aura they were used too. It looked like Bardock but wasn't.

Also he didn't wear a bright red bandana, a dead giveaway.

"How goes it, young Kakarot? Ready to join the team full time?" Tora said with a wave as he placed his hand on his hip. The white and dark blue saiyan armor a trademark of their group compared to the usual white blue and yellow, or orange and dark blue. A friendly smirk of approval as they greeted the son of their leader.

"I might one day, but I've still got duties to fulfill here, Tora." Kakarot chuckled but punched the knuckles of the warrior who outstretched them. "It is good to see you guys still well, I take it planet Ceres wasn't all that it was cracked up to be?"

"Nahh, nothing special." Fasha said coming over and put an arm around Kakarot. The younger saiyan not bothered by it. These men were pretty much family. Tora being his Uncle and Fasha his Aunt in many respects. "I can feel some new strength in there. Looking to finally surpass your brother?"

"Eh, probably though I won't have that opportunity for a few more months." Kakarot shrugged.

"The old climbing the hierarchy chain, beat your brother and then your dad and make House Kakarot. Oh that will be a fun time with all the lazing about and sleeping. Sounds like a great vacation." Shugesh mocked with a snicker as Kakarot growled. "Eh you know you're lazy, boy, don't get all offended over the truth. You know we don't make jokes."

"Only when it comes to how hideous you are we don't." Boros chuckled wickedly earning a snort from the other saiyan.

"Speaking of, where's that mug of your father? I need to see that old dog to let him know we're all done and ready to get paid." Tora's eyes were looking around trying to spot him but failed to do so. Normally Bardock was punctual but he apparently wasn't being too generous to show up in person. Sending his son in his stead perhaps?

"Gine's in heat." Kakarot stated to which all four saiyans went. "Oooh."

"That old dog, I'm thankful he mated that cleaver wielding banshee and sired some pups. God's help us if she was still working on the team." Sugesh added with a breath of relief. "You know your mum was one hell of a machine with that weapon of hers."

"I'm aware, she taught me what not to do and what to do very early after I returned from my infant purge." Though she is still one of the more gentler mothers, and the only one still alive from the elite houses. He knew all of them save Paragu's mate, she died during childbirth.

"Well let's go inside and crash, have your servants bring up some good liquor and brew an extra feast for us. It's been a good week since we had a full stomach." Tora figured it wouldn't help waiting, not that Bardock wouldn't let them come in to enjoy a meal at his expense. They just made him a hefty sum clearing that world.

"I'll have Nevah get some good bottles for you, though we have a new caretaker we just purchased in training right now with Viv."

"Another one? Seriously, Bardock isn't going to try and get that old lass Hella from Nappa? She was a prime cook." Shugesh said disappointedly. "Fine woman, and not a bad looker either."

Kakarot just headed in with Fasha still clinging to him. "The new one was recommended by Lucious, and I hope that I'm surprised with her performance since he final test will be to make a proper saiyan meal tonight."
