Chapter 3: Day One

A/N: Another update, I hope you guys are enjoying this. It's a unique twist on the saiyan world feel with a different structure to it than I normally do. Plus having the family atmosphere around will help or at least I think it does. Also the Gochi Awards are up for fanfiction and fanart on tumblr head over to cast your votes. Also thanks to Snolane for beta reading.

Viv opened the door to their servants quarters, walking inside first, the larger woman's head just a few inches short of hitting the top of the frame. Her feet audibly walking along the floor with heavy footsteps. The room opening up to something more surprising to Chi-Chi as the half arachnid looked back and smiled. "Impressive, is it not?"

"Wow…" It was all that came out from Chi-Chi's mouth, the room wasn't anything that she expected. It was nearly spotless, the floors an almost polished crystal with a shimmer as they moved across. There were three set out beds, each one set off to one side of the room. Their sizes varying as she could tell Nevah's barely being a twin size to Viv who obviously occupied a King plus size bed and her own queen size bed, obviously set up for Chi-Chi as it had nine different outfits for her, each neatly folded and smelling fresh as they were organized atop her sheets.

And split on the opposite side of the room was her vanity and, apparently, open bathroom. Of which each one had their own, given their size difference it again seemed to make sense, although her's appeared more to be a traditional washroom from Earth where as Viv's was a large tub or soaking pool and Nevah's appeared to be a hot tub.

Taking note of the amenities, Viv smiled, "As I said you are lucky to have come here, this house takes good care of us. So we take even better care of them, all of these features are added to be normal. To detract you and force you into a new lifestyle does not enforce loyalty and respect, more so obedience which you should already have so there is little point in going further."

"Is there a bathroom?" Chi-Chi asked not really spying a toilet, to which Viv pointed to a sliding door just beyond the vanity.

"It is similar to the saiyans but overall you have a set of clothes for each day. The two other outfits," Coming back over she pointed to one which was red. "This is for the royal family, when they are here you will wear the royal colors. This is to be kept impeccable at a minimum but Nevah will be handling our uniforms, she has a natural talent with clothes, just be sure it is kept secure and free from any blemishes." Moving on she pointed to an all white one, "This is for a holiday, we will be allowed some time to ourselves to spend some money and, if possible, communicate with our own people, a slave in white decrees this to other saiyans. You will still bear Bardock's crest which should keep you safe from almost all saiyans out of fear of insulting an elite or the law of the royal family."

This was new to her, "What law is that?"

"Protection for us servants, those who work for the saiyans out of contract are not to be taken or harassed. Though I find that we will rarely need them as Master Bardock provides for us very well. Though as I'm sure you are aware that his first born, Raditz, has requested that I be a bed warmer for him." The larger woman almost seemed to be blushing, "He's such an amazing man how I wish I could've been born a saiyan to be truly his." Releasing a sigh of desire at the possible fantasy of hers.

Chi-Chi didn't say anything to Viv about that, "So how does… this," Gesturing to her situation, "work, what do we do?"

"That is not a problem, our schedule is fairly simple, we clean each of the three wings of the house every ten days thoroughly, dust, wash, wax, and polish. However, our primary goal is food preparation, the saiyans require three full meals and a fridge filled with possible snacks should any member of the house require sustenance throughout the day. As the new caretaker this will be your primary job as myself and Nevah will evaluate your cooking ability and guide you on a proper saiyan diet. Which is fairly simple but requires proper portions and balance. Though I will be unable to help you with the taste of your foods as you," She opened her mouth to extend her fangs several inches down from her jaw line and touched the sides of her chin. "can imagine," Now her fingers pointing to her now exposed teeth," I don't eat like others do." She laughed as he watched the slightly mortified expression appear on her face. Tilting her head back, the large spider like fangs retracted into her mouth. "Quite a nasty expression it leaves, but it's how my people evolved."

"I'm still getting used to a lot of new things, I thought saiyans were strange but," Her words trailed off, but as she looked around she felt a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"Not to worry, this is a life that takes time. It was a strange turn for me as I was a royal courtesan on my planet. As you can obviously tell by how beautiful I am." The woman all but gushed, though Chi-Chi wouldn't say she was as much beautiful as she appeared more exotic. Yet who was she to ridicule by comparison to some of the other aliens she had seen. "I had royalty ready to mark me as their mistress until I met a saiyan called Lucious who came on a visit. I am assuming you came from him as well?"

The smaller woman nodded. "Ah excellent, Luscious is such a good judge of character, some believe he has the ability to read a person's emotions just by looking at them. No doubt it is why he probably picked you up, no?"

"Not exactly, I came to him." She admitted, though Viv's head slightly cocked to the side as she tried to follow that train of thought.

"Strange, but I suppose you were looking to escape your life like I was no doubt." She affirmed with a proud nod of her head.

"What makes you think I was trying to escape my life?" Though the woman wasn't exactly wrong, she was curious as to how she could imagine that outcome so easily.

"To give up one's own freedom is not because one wishes to, I can tell by your body language that you are apprehensive, the sweat from your brow that shines in front of me is not because you are eager. Simply you did not have a choice, but I was like you I know that look. Nevah and Hella who were here before me saw the same thing in myself," Those red eyes gazed upon a way for Chi-Chi to view her own body. "look at yourself." She turned the smaller woman to look at the mirror of her vanity, "I do not see a woman standing resolute in front of this mirror." Viv looked over so much of Chi-Chi's character that it was actually refreshing. "You have fears, doubts, and concerns that show on your face because there is no soft smile here." The long fingers softly touching her bottom lip. "I see a young woman who does not know what she has truly done," Looking down at Chi-Chi who saw the woman lean over her slightly. "It will take time for you to come to see this as your life as most of us caretakers do. The others who work for the royal family and elites are here not for just money, perhaps you came for adventure but I do not see eagerness. I see myself in you, my dear." Viv smiled as she righted herself back up and stood behind Chi-Chi. "One day you will see yourself again, but not as a caretaker but as who you really are. These clothes, and this house does not make you what you are."

"Might I ask something a bit personal?" Chi-Chi offered to which the arachnid nodded. "How old are you?"

"I am two hundred and thirty two, at least according to the saiyan year calendar." Viv laughed at the expression on Chi-Chi's face. "My people live upwards of six to eight hundred years. I am assuming your lifespan is much shorter like Nevahs?"

Nodding as she stepped away, "I'm only twenty." Then it was her turn to view the shock on her larger counterparts face until she just laughed and pinched her cheek slightly.

"Such a young thing, I shall do my best to help you along the way dear." Viv then slightly crouched down to offer a hug to the smaller woman. Chi-Chi accepted the affection finding it actually comforting even as she found her head pushed between four large breasts. "As caretakers of this house we will look after each other. We all wish to make our ten years as pleasant as possible and we don't wish to see you go if at all possible." The larger woman gently patted her back. "Now, do you have any questions?" Pulling back to give the new caretaker a chance to speak her mind.

"I have a few…"

[***]

Gathered in the main hall of Bardock's house the four members of Bardock's purge team had gathered along with Kakarot. The four boisterous saiyans having a good laugh as they waited for their busy leader to get down here and pay them for everything they had done.

Nevah was on scene and making sure drinks were being poured as was customary for her. The small pink skinned woman bringing a large mug of hard alcohol to each of them. Fasha had strewn herself over a couch while Boros and Sugesh sat in opposite chairs. Tora leaned over the top of the couch, his elbows resting on the furniture.

"God's Ceres reminds me of that those last missions with Bardock before he got whipped." Boros laughed as he took a full swig of his beverage.

"The moment Gine punched him in the face he was whipped." Sugesh fired back with a snicker, to which Tora and Fasha just sighed. Kakarot didn't bother getting involved, everyone had a particular opinion about his father.

Boros held up his hand in exclamation, "You guys remember that day, right?"

The ground was littered with heavy craters, it was Boros and Bardock still standing at the time. They had gone to the planet of Mork, to do battle with hundreds of thousands of large green skinned savages, their sheer size and barbarism making it hell.

The bodies were scattered all around, each single greenskin ranged from ten to fifteen feet tall with the biggest nearly topping out at twenty. Their bodies were heavy masses of muscle and bone armed with whatever their peanut sized brains could throw together to fight back.

Even if they weren't strong, they made up for whatever power they didn't have with raw numbers and sheer tenacity. "Waagggh!" Came the battle cry of the greenskins as dozens poured over the ruins of the city. Their bodies covered in nothing more than thick pieces of scrap metal, their hands and fists armed with axes and claws. The largest covered his entire body in slabs of metal and rushed with the heavy thunder of feet as in his hands was once a metal lamp post now turned into a massive concrete club from where it had been ripped from the ground.

Bardock had blood running down his face as he panted, the slight tremors in his body as he pushed himself to the limit. His knees wanted to give out, his hands were numb, but still the stubborn warrior refused to concede.

Boros stood beside him, his hand glowing with what little energy he had left as the monstrosities continued to charge towards him.

"I got your right, you take the left." Boros said with a chuckle though he felt the pain rippling out from his ribs as he tried a pitiful attempt at humor.

"Just don't die," Bardock wasn't one to mince words. Then they were beset upon by the massive brutes. Bardock dodged one who swung a heavy dull axe towards his head, relying on sheer brute force in order to kill him.

Dropping an elbow into the greenskin's midsection the massive jaw expelling huge amount of air as the force of his elbow rocked through one side of the body to the other. The axe slipped and without a moment's hesitation grabbed it and slammed it into the forehead of the creature causing it fall forward, its hands scrapping at the impact point, not dead, but not able to fight back.

Bardock's leg swept another off its feet before planting a heel drop straight on its head, turning the head at an odd angle with a crunch.

A forearm came from the side and bashed Bardock knocking him off his feet and sending him skidding into the ground.

Boros blasted one green skin through the belly, but even with the mortal wound it rushed and attempted to give that final deathblow, but missed before falling into a crumpled mess of limbs on the ground.

Another punched Boros in the face but the saiyan did not lose his footing, and about grabbing the offending arm and hauling him up and over and slamming his head down into the ground. Brain and blood splattered from the impact leaving the ground a mess, but even as the saiyans held their ground the massive greenskin shoved aside his counter parts and went straight for Bardock who threw one into the side of a building the debris blocking the saiyans vision but not his hearing as he rolled to the side.

The heavy concrete edge smashed where Bardock's body once was, the ground now had a crater the size of a saiyan space pod. "WAAAGH!" the beast screamed his green skin and red eyes seeing only the frenzy of bloodlust as Bardock rammed his shoulder into the creatures mid section. The two tearing up the ground as their heels cut grooves into the ground. "Is that all you got?" Mocking Bardock.

"More than you, ugly." Bardock snarled as he drove his fist into his opponents waist but didn't find the creature's skin to be giving way.

The crushing blow came from a half mangled fist with metals and heavy industrial materials wrapped around its arm and hand sending the saiyan to the ground with a loud heavy smack. "I be the strongest here, monkey man!" The gloating greenskin missed as Boros came from behind and snapped his arm around the creatures neck and began to jerk and squeeze.

Flailing quickly took over as the brute struggled to grab at the back of Boros, that same hand that was twisted with concrete and steel finding no ability to grab firmly onto the saiyan. His other hand discarding the heavy weapon as it's mangled fingernails cut into the saiyans armor.

Blood begin to drip down from the jagged cuts as his arms squeezed tighter and tighter. The veins on his neck becoming more visible. Releasing a guttural scream as he struggled to hold on.

Boros was finally torn off and grasped in large greenskins hand that held half of his waist. The creature's face a lighter shade of green from the blood cut off from his head. "WAGGGH-" It roared again but missed as Bardock rounded the side of his head. A hand charged with ki.

"Yep, if it hadn't have been for me that boy woulda killed Bardock, not that any of you weaklings woulda known being completely useless like you all were!" Boros mocked with a cocky grin on his face as he brought his mug back up to his lips.

Sugesh smacked his forehead, "You are such a goddamn liar! That never happened and you know it!"

Boros laughed, "Oh yeah, like your ass could've done anything on that hell of a world without me dragging you around." Taunting his fellow teammate who snorted and got himself properly situated back in his chair.

Kakarot looked to Tora and Fasha who rolled their eyes and just exhaled in defeat. Those two were eternally destined to bicker and argue like this.

However, Kakarot felt it first as a new presence joined them, before Fasha and Tora quickly caught the subtle signs as the youngest of Bardock looked to the doorway. Wearing a dark blue spandex and a pink top stood a practically radiant woman. "Are you two telling that dumb greenskin story again?"

Nevah tucked her head, "Welcome, Lady Gine, I take it you and the master had a wonderful afternoon?" Smiling as the saiyan female blushed, her tail swaying behind her showing her content nature.

"Oh you are so right Nevah, five times." She stated proudly.

"Damn, I didn't know Bardock could still get it up after assuming the role of an elite." Boros snickered.

"It's at least twice as big as yours so I'd say he's got at least one excuse." Fasha poked back making the saiyan turn red with anger as Fasha held up two fingers as an example of size. "You and," Her fingers stretched much more apart. "Bardock."

"Oh shut yer trap you little slut!" But Fasha ignored it as Tora flipped off the other saiyan.

Gine came over and gently patted Kakarot on the head, "Thank you so much for walking the new caretaker. Did she do well?" To which her son nodded. "Excellent! I'm sure Viv will have her start on dinner right away, would you go and help them, Nevah, and prepare four other seats?"

"Of course, my Lady," Nevah politely bowed before walking out of the room.

"Thanks for the meal Gine." Fasha waved to which the other saiyan woman smiled and took a seat beside Kakarot.

"It is no problem, I'd like you all to join us. No doubt the price of Ceres is well worth a full stomach as well for the trouble it was." She offered a smile, "My mate will join us in a moment. He is speaking with Raditz about having him work with the team for a summer."

All of the saiyans had a slightly surprised look, "You don't say?" Tora scratched his chin. "Figured you would've put your young cub Kakarot in that position."

Gine shook her head, "No, Kakarot has yet to best his brother-"

"Yet." Kakarot interrupted, "I will soon."

Releasing a sigh, "Yes, Kakarot yet, I do hope that you set about and uproot your brother so that he might have some incentive to get out from the Casino's and time at the Blue palace." Gine cared a great deal about Kakarot, but she wanted something to encourage him. A way for him to get out of his shell and start becoming more like his father. Not that who he was was wrong, but Bardock had sacrificed much to get his family to where they were. She wished that Kakarot would give back, she would love to fight by her husband's side back on purge missions but was absolutely forbidden by her mate. After the deaths of the other two elite females leaving her as the only one until Caulifa and Kale became of proper mating age. On that subject… "Kakarot have you given any thought to courting either of the females of house Cabba or do you intend for them to go to your brother or the Prince?"

"Hey don't forget about Paragus's brat!" Boros quickly threw in before causing the entire room save Gine to burst into laughter.

"That slow minded fool will be as about adapt as his old man was at training him!" Sugesh slapped the side of the chair clearly amused with himself. Knowing that Paragus had lost an eye trying to teach his boy the basics.

"About as useful as Kale, that simple minded boy doesn't do anything!"

From the Kitchen which was just down the hall, the doors open as the warm air needed to be quickly pumped out to keep the temperatures proper. The saiyans could be heard clearly as Chi-Chi stood with three full sized pots boiling. Viv was dicing several sets of vegetables with a heavy knife as Nevah came in and out of the room as she set the table.

Chi-Chi found it easy to adapt to the Alien technology, their functions the same and the materials just as well. As she focused on preparing a meal the sounds of the boisterous saiyans continued unabated.

"They are talking about house Paragus again." Nevah sighed as she went to begin gathering the utensils from one of the drawers lining the wall. "The poor family has suffered enough."

Viv chopped through several whole potatoes at once, her cutting board then dropping them into one of the many pots Chi-Chi was currently boiling. "You are just a very empathetic person Nevah you can't expect all saiyans to behave like yourself."

"Misery falls upon them, nothing but misfortunate and tragedy. Who ridicules those who are ill-fated?" Nevah protested.

"That is simply what you believe little one, your faith tells you it is wrong. You have still remember these are saiyans who do not share those sentiments of your people." Viv corrected as she pulled out several more potatoes and began chopping them away.

"I'm sorry, but what do you mean, Nevah? Are you talking about a God?" Chi-Chi interjected not sure as to what the two other women were discussing.

"Not a God, the universe itself is a living breathing creature that creates ill will and decides what is right and wrong. My people believe that one should not punish those who are treated as such by the forces inside this universe, even for saiyans they do not deserve mockery but sympathy." She spoke softly, holding her hands together, "I hate to see other beings suffer needlessly, there is too much pain in this life to not wish for life to be brought closer together."

Viv shook her head, looking at their new caretaker with a somber smile, not wishing for her to be caught up in one of their philosophical debates that the two of them had often, Of course Hella always encouraged optimism too much in Nevah."Chi-Chi dear, please forgive her. Even for her wisdom she is still naive to many things."

"I am not, I know that the universe is alive my people know it to be true." Nevah put both of her hands on her hips. Her back leaning forwards slightly as she stared at Viv.

"We have dinner to prepare Nev, we can discuss your religion afterwards. Also you need to assist our Chi-Chi with the main dish, I will make sure drinks are served." Wanting to avoid a typical argument with her counterpart over this issue had been a constant one. Though Hella had been effective at curbing them before they happened being a more mature and well rounded woman. Taking it as her que to leave the larger woman made her way towards the alcohol cellar.

Disappointed, Nevah just shook her head, but she put on a smile and looked to Chi-Chi. "We shouldn't have such conversations in front you, Chi-Chi, please forgive my actions, it is not proper to make you apart of our personal views."

"Hey, it's alright," Chi-Chi assured her. "I'm used to hearing a lot of bickering and different opinions from where I come from. But it sounds like you have an interesting view of things." Trying to make a pleasant conversation with her fellow caretaker. "It sounds like Pantheism from my world, that all things are interconnected."

"Ah, so you have an idea of what I was speaking of, it will be nice to have some discussions. Viv is narrow minded like saiyans in their beliefs of what this universe can offer us." Heading over towards the cut up meal Nevah looked over the ingredients before glancing back at Chi-Chi. The Norlean helping guide Chi-Chi along proper meal etiquette for a saiyan meal which was minimal at best.

Though as Chi-Chi brought a thick ladle into the thick cream potato soup she had made with baked and cured ham along with fresh grated parmesan cheese, bread as a side along with a full chopped salad. Each bowl was the size of a her whole face, the first pot used just for the first serving as Nevah showed her how to smoke what she assumed was an entire pig. The inside's already salted and spiced as was normal, except Chi-Chi imagined that saiyans might like a Earthling style. A little BBQ sauce which she glazed over the smoked meat as it rotated slowly.

Not that she was a huge meat person herself, but she could taste her own mouth watering from the aroma. That and the shouting from the down the hall. "What the hell are they cooking cause fuck I'm getting hard smelling it!" A saiyan voice Chi-Chi didn't recognize shouted causing some humor in the kitchen as Viv walked in as they waited for the much larger woman to handle the pig roast which was only a third of her size. Putting the spik just off from the main table.

As they were about ready to wrap up everything a figure appeared in the doorway. "Hard at work? Good." Nevah and Viv quickly tucked their heads as Chi-Chi watching them quickly followed suit. Bardock came inside the main hall, his nose having picked up on the obvious aroma that was wafting through through his home.

His hands crossed over his chest Bardock approached Chi-Chi. Stopping just an arms length from her, "Look at me."

Her head looked up, and she saw the cold gaze once again staring into her. "Yes, Lord Bardock?" Chi-Chi's soft spoken words causing the saiyan to lower his arms down to his sides.

"Are you ready to accept the next ten years of your life are going to belong to me and my household? That you shall work without complaint for my home and all of those who dwell inside, including that of Nevah and Viv who stand beside you?"

"I am." She replied her gaze unflinching. "I will serve your family for ten years."

"Kneel," He commanded, watching as she did as she was told. "For the name of my house, you Chi-Chi from Earth shall be a caretaker for this day and for all days forward until your tenth year. Do not forget who you serve and know that so long as you stay loyal to me I shall reward you. Do not ever betray my house, though many on Vegeta-sei are saiyans they do not look out for me and my family. You shall discuss nothing with other houses, you shall never collude with them, and should you be taken from my home as dictated by the rules of combat you shall continue these honor bound words. Do not forsake my trust and I shall not forsake what is owed to you." Placing his hand atop her head, "Whom do you swear loyalty to?"

Chi-Chi took a moment to breathe. "You, Lord Bardock." The hand atop her head swept down her cheek and softly caressed her skin.

"Then I welcome you into my house, now gather the band of miscreants and my mate so we can eat. I am starving." Bardock released a slight smirk as he patted Chi-Chi on the shoulder almost approvingly before turning towards his seat. He'd been wanting a proper meal and with this new caretaker in the kitchen he only hoped it tasted as good as it smelled.

Chi-Chi felt a slight hug from Viv as she came up beside her. "Congratulations Dear! You did a good job to impress Bardock, now just remember what I told you." Giving the younger woman a wink as Nevah smacked her hand away.

"Shoo, do not tell her of your ways. Come Chi-Chi let us make sure Bardock's guests are introduced to you. But be wary of Boros and Sughesh." Nevah quickly warned with a waving finger. "They love to pinch your ass."

Oh… Perfect. Chi-Chi groaned as she was lead to gather the rest of the company for dinner, with her first day mostly complete Chi-Chi could only wonder what the next ten years were going to be like.
