Author Notes: The usual thing about being late, sorry. ;)

Cabba slowly opened the front door of his house, he stepped inside quietly, since still is the beginning of the morning, he didn't wanted to wake up anyone. With a few steps more, he noticed the sound of water splashing on some plates, coming from the kitchen.

After entering the room, he saw his mother washing the dishes from yesterday. She turned her head to him, giving him a soft smile. "Where have you been?" She said without stopping her chores.

"I had to investigate something, but I still didn't find what I wanted." He responded with a disheartened nod. "But at least I found some clues, though."

His mother finished drying the last plate on the sink; she put the dishcloth on her shoulder and walked closer to Cabba. "Are you hungry? Have you eaten anything?" She asked, placing her left hand on his right cheek.

"I'm fine mom, thanks." He smiled to her. "I had dinner with some friends yesterday, after returning to Sadala."

She frowned her forehead, giving him an odd look. "If you were back yesterday, why haven't you came back home?"

"I spent the night at Caulifla's house." He said in the most innocent way he could. "Sorry mom, I will just go to my room, I am so tired and sleepy right now… I could probably sleep on the floor."

Cabba's mother stared at him, with her mouth open and eyes glittering. "How come you are sleepy? Didn't get any sleep last night?" She smirked at her son, hitting softly his left arm with her elbow. "Anything you want to say to mommy?"

He finally noticed his slipup, his face turned red as his mother started to relentless ask one question after another. "Mom, please." Cabba hid his face behind his hands. "I don't want to talk about this."

His somewhat denial made her jump even closer to him. "Hum… You did something that you can't tell me?" Cabba's mother said in a teasing manner.

"Ok, I am going now." In fast pace Cabba walked his way to the stairs. "You can have you fun, but I will not say anything."

"Then I will ask Caulifla, she is such a sweet and straight-forward girl, she will tell me everything."

'In what did I put myself into?' Cabba cursed his large mouth as he climbed the steps to the second floor.

Asparus sat on top of the balcony wall. He has been sulking alone since his return from Kale's house, after the agitated morning that his mother provided.

He tried his best to get the queen away from the poor Saiyan girl, but his mother was fierce and insistent on her inquiries. Even Kale's father got his own share of interesting questions and comments from the Saiyan queen. When the ordeal had finally come to an end, Asparus was less than pleased with his mother, and ignored her the whole way on their trip back to the palace.

"For how long are you going to stay there, ignoring me?" The queen said. She was sitting closer to the inner wall, beside the door back to the building.

Asparus tilted his head a bit to the side, he considered for a long time before responding to her. "You asked Kale, if she liked money… I can't believe you." He gave out a long sigh as he returned his gaze back to the city far away.

"I only asked if she likes money, because if she wants to be a queen that is an important thing to know." She said without much thought.

"What? Is important to like money if she wants to be a queen?" Asparus jumped back to the balcony floor, he waved his head to the sides in anger. "That is stupid, Kale is not like that, and she doesn't want to be a queen or anything like that.

The queen stood up too, and with fast steps, she placed herself in front of him. "No, what I wanted to know is if she would be honest in her answer."

"With all the twenty questions that you asked her?" The prince retorted with a frown.

"Yes." Her answer was cold and short, but soon her lips parted in a warm smile. "But, she passed the test." The queen proudly announced, putting her arm on her hips. "That girl is so shy and honest, that I almost felt bad for her."

"Then why you kept pressing her on it?" Asparus threw his arms up in annoyance.

"No, no. I can't be careless when the matter involves my baby." The queen squeezed Asparus's left cheek. "But, is all good now, I quite like your girlfriend."

"And she probably will never speak to me again." He said with a concerned smile.

"Nonsense, I see no reason for that."

"Again, you asked her father, if he would mind moving in to the palace."

"A perfectly normal question, if you ask me."

"I can believe that Greeno led you there. Latter I will have some words with him." Asparus walked back to the balcony's end and jumped on top of the wall.

"Where are you going now?" She asked

"To a place where I can have a normal conversation." The prince took off and flew at full speed towards the city.

"That is so rude, I am your mother." The queen yelled at the top of her lungs, but her words probably didn't reached her son.

Cabba shuffled around in his bed, after a few hours of sleep, he felt rejuvenated like never before. With a quick motion, Cabba jumped out of his bed wearing nothing more than his boxers, he went straight to the bathroom across from his room and after brushing his teeth and washing his face, Cabba decided that was time for some breakfast.

Feeling bold as never before, he decided to go downstairs only in his underwear. Last night for sure was a special night, and right now Caba don't have a single care in the world. His pace was fast and proud; it took only but a few seconds for him to walk to the kitchen.

"Good morning, handsome." Caulifla said as she devoured him with her eyes.

"Well, that is not something that I was expecting." Asparus eyed his friend and gave him an awkward nod with his head.

All the confidence the young soldier had, instantly disappeared and his face turned bright red. Cabba jumped back and hid himself beside the doorway. "What are you two doing here?" Cabba flustered yelled from the hallway.

"What are you talking about?" Caulifla said as she bent to the side with her chair, trying to get another peek at Cabba. "I am always here, even more to lunch."

Asparus who was sitting on a chair directly across Caulifla around the big table, gave out a snort after the ridiculousness of the scene finally got to him. "I came here to talk with you, but, I ended accepting your mother's offer to have lunch here." Asparus said laughing at Caulifla almost falling on the ground.

"Cabba, what are you doing naked down here?" Cabba's mother entered the hallway with many grocery bags, with Lettu accompanying her, carrying his own share of bags.

"Mom, no, that is not like it is seems. I…" Cabba tried his best to come up with a reason, but his reasoning was already far gone. "I will put some clothes on." He dashed so fast to the stairs that Caulifla and Asparus could only see a blur passing in front of the kitchens door.

"Wait, big brother." Lettu shouted with a lot of energy. "I can help you find your clothes." The little boy ran inside the kitchen and placed the bags on top of the big wooden table as fast as he could, then the bolted towards the stairs, going after his brother.

"Maybe I should help him too." Caulifla said, with an evil smirk in his lips.

"And kill him with embarrassment?" Asparus said in remark of her suggestion. "Give the guy some slack."

"After last night I don't see a reason for him to be embarrassed with me." She said innocently in a sarcastic way.

"Too much information…" Asparus placed his head on top of the wooden table and covered his face with both arms.

Hearing the conversation of the young saiyans, Cabba's mother stepped inside the kitchen, with her eyes shining with interest. "What is this about last night?" She said happily. "Caulifla, my dear. Tell me everything.

Caulifla laughed at the older woman's interest, but she quickly started to disclosure the story of her time with Cabba. Asparus only grunted in annoyance, as he was not in the least interested in his friend's love life, especially this part.

"What is happening here?" Cabba now fully clothed, with a light blue shirt and pants of the same color, entered the room with Lettu right behind him. He noticed Asparus lying with his upper body on top of the table, covering his ears with his hands.

"Cabba… Help." The prince slowly wiggled his way out of the table, and grabbed Cabba by the shoulders.

Lettu skipped forward, looking at Asparus face and then glancing to two saiyan women. "Mom, Sis Caulifla, why did you make Wimp sad?"

"Wimp is very sad, Cabba's little brother." Asparus said with a disheartened voice, prompting both women to laugh at him.

"We are just having fun, sweetie." Cabba's mother said with a cheerful smile.

"Yeah, we are just talking about fun times." Caulifla winked at Cabba.

"C-Caulifla… What fun times?" Cabba felt a cold sweat run on his spine.

Asparus winced at the mention of said fun times. "Please, give back my innocence."

"You didn't." Cabba looked back to Caulifla with a terrified expression.

She returned his gaze with a smirk. "Is not a big deal, and we are just having fun." Caulifla turned her head to Cabba's mother and winked at her too.

"No, you didn't." The young soldier in despair took both hands to his head. "T-That is not something you share around… And especially with my mother." He turned completely red and started to flip his hands in the air.

"Hey now. Why shouldn't I get to know about this?" His mother protested. "As your mother, I have all the rights to know about your life."

Cabba said nothing in return; he just stared at the scene, dumb folded.

"Whoa, good morning." Cabba's father appeared right behind him in the kitchen's entrance. "This is quite the commotion for such an early hour."

The prince walked pass Cabba, and looked directly at the older man's eyes. "Help…" Asparus's voice came so faint, that almost no one could hear him.

"The Prince?!" Cabba's father jumped back in surprise. "Why is the prince here? What is going on?"

"Actually we are talking about Cabba's special night." His wife clapped both hands together in happiness.

"Hey, it was my special night too." Caulifla gave a fake embarrassed smile.

"No, no and no. I am not going to stay here for this." Cabba grabbed the sobbing prince by the arm and started to drag him out.

"Wait, I still didn't eat." Asparus said, recovering his lost voice.

"I will buy something for you on the way." Cabba yelled with his voice cracking. As the prince finally gave out, Cabba pulled both of them out of the house the fastest he could.

"My boy still is so cute." Cabba's mother said laughing.

"I know, right?" Caulifla nodded with her head.

Like any other day, the king of Sadala spends his early morning in his office, reading the reports of his many soldiers and at a time of crisis such as it is now, his work is piling up even more. With the sound of the doors opening, he show a small but genuine smile on his lips.

"Where have you been this morning?" The king said without taking his eyes off the papers on his hands.

The queen closed the door behind her and walked forward in hurry, quickly reaching the big metal table. "I was searching for Asparus's girlfriend." She leaned down, taking the papers of her husband hand. "And guess what, I found her."

The king eyed her, raising one eyebrow. In truth, he was not in the least interested in Kale, but he always found hard to no indulge his wife in anything that she wanted. "How it turned out? Did you make her cry?"

Arula pouted at his words, but quickly started to babble about her discoveries. "At first, I was not too sure about the girl, but she didn't wavered at any time." The queen walked around the table, and pulled the king's chair back. Like a lazy cat, she sat on his lap, wrapping her arm in his chest. "Even being so shy, she answered all my questions."

The king smiled and started to run his fingers on her hair. "Is that so?"

"But Asparus is mad at me now." She looked up with puppy eyes. "He even left me talking by myself."

"He would never stay mad at you, he is just shy. Give the boy some time, he is sure to come back to his mother."

Queen Arula giggled and brushed her face on the king's hand. "You know what? I like her." She backed a little bit and stared at her husband's black eyes. "I will have to work a lot on her, but she would be a lovely queen to Asparus."

"First work on making the boy in to a king, then worry about a queen for him." The king said, in his normal harsh way of talking.

Arula smacked the back of his head and gave him an angry look. "That is your job, not mine."

"Sorry, Ma'am." He rubbed the spot where her hand hit. "But Asparus doesn't make my work easy, he is just too stubborn."

"Then be more than him. What kind of king are you, if you lose to your own son."

"Right, right." He sigh and glance upward to the ceiling. For a moment, his mind wanders in his memories to the times were his son was just a little baby; the times when he could openly show his love for his son. 'Everything was easier back then.

"What are you thinking about?" She has known him for enough time to notice when he is lost in his thoughts. However, every time he shows a troubled face when thinking about the past. It pains Arula, but she knows that she is the reason behind this.

"It is nothing, now let me focus on this, I have more and more reports pilling up on my desk, by the end of day It will be even more." He placed his hands on her hips and helped her stand up. "I just hope that this crazy chain of events ends soon or we will have a lot of trouble in the future."

She quietly walked to one of the chairs in the corner; she then dragged the chair with her and placed by his side. "I will help you then." Giving just a smile as a reply, the king resumed his work, now, with his wife by his side.

Asparus nagged like a little kid about missing lunch, Cabba took him to a small restaurant on the edge of town, since is such an isolated place, no one there recognized the prince, making their lunch a very peaceful time. After eating they walked to their usual training ground, but without any motivation, on Cabba's part, they only rested there, sitting on the dirty ground looking at the cloudy sky.

"Why were you so pumped about, that you came to my house to tell me about it?" Cabba asked, still no looking at Asparus directly. The events of this morning are still very vivid on his mind.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot about that." Asparus jumped off the ground and started to do squats out of nowhere. "I have a nice surprise to show you." With a smirk, he walked a bit forward leaving Cabba behind him.

'What is this about?' Cabba only watched his friend, who after creating a small distance between them, turned around and gave a thumbs up.

"Since you were knock out cold, you didn't get to see this." Asparus raised both hands, each away from the other. "So keep your eyes opened, because this is awesome." With a deep breath, the prince started to gather his ki on the palm of his hands; it took mere seconds for two silver energy balls to form on his hands. With a fierce shout, he shoot both hands upwards meeting both balls together, the silver energy merged together, forming a powerful stream of light. This energy wave flew at an incredible speed towards the sky, after the tip of the beam disappeared behind the clouds, it exploded in to a giant orb of light, bright enough to be seeing from the other side of the planet.

After the explosion finally died out, the sky was completely clear, with all the clouds pushed away, the sun was now shining rays of light on them.

For a moment Cabba stood there speechless, he was stunned from the massive power of that attack and the fact that Asparus was the one who used. "You did it." Cabba jumped off the ground. "You finally did it, you controlled your ki."

"Hell yeah, I did." Asparus beamed with pride as he made his way back towards Cabba. "What do you think? About my attack, I mean."

"Impressive, to say the least." Cabba took one more look at the massive clearing at the sky, the sight made him smile. "Now we can start doing a real training."

"Wait, wait. Before that, help me name it." Asparus felt embarrassed by his own words, but he did not back off. "I want to shout something cool, like you do with your Galick Ho."

Cabba laughed at the prince's idea, but had to admit, he kinda liked shouting the name of his attack, it was a unique experience every time. "Sure, let's think about something for you."

Asparus clapped both hands together in contentment, and then he proceeded to think long and hard about a new name. "What about Ultimate Destroyer Cannon?" His eyes sparkled with excitement.

"What? That is something a little kid would say." Cabba snorted in disapproval, crushing the prince's enthusiasm.

"Supreme Cannon of Light?" This time Cabba only frowned at him, making the prince low his shoulders in rejection.

"Taking in consideration the color of it and your unexpected love for cannons, I think Gin Taihō* is a good name for your attack."

"I liked it. It is like yours, but better." Asparus laughed to himself, very pleased with the new name Cabba suggested.

Seeing the sudden burst of happiness and animation on Asparus's part, raised Cabba's spirit as well, and making him completely forget his traumatic events. "Sure, sure. Now let's put this silver cannon to test with a real training, what do you say?"

"Not a bad idea." Asparus cracked his fingers. "But this time, I will be the one winning."

"I would not count on that if I were you." Cabba assumed his battle stance. Following his friends movements, Asparus did the same, and after a brief moment of pause, they engaged in close combat with ferocious speed.

Kale spend most part of her day helping her father at home, after he went away to work in the afternoon, she went out too. She sensed Cabba's ki explode in power and someone else together with him, this second ki was ever so familiar, yet so different from anything she remembers. Kale decided to check the place from where this energy came, and since Cabba is fighting, Caulifla is probably with him too. Maybe she would even find a certain prince with them.

Flying at full speed, Kale felt herself getting a little excited, an unusual thing for her. Little by little, Asparus was beginning to change her, she never felt anything like this before, but now, she is irradiating with happiness with just the thought of meeting with him. At first, she didn't know what do to in his presence, he is always so straight forward and sometimes way too sarcastic, however, Kale grew attached to his voice and fierce eyes. Now every day is a fun experience to her, and most of that is because of him.

After passing through the limits of the city, Kale could already see the dust coming from an isolated place. 'Isn't there where that Cabba and Sis trained with me?' Now somewhat relieved from her discovery, Kale pushed herself even more to get there the fastest she could.

A giant explosion welcomed Kale to the scene; her eyes glanced over to the destroyed plain fields and noticed two saiyans fighting each other. Cabba and Asparus both looked very bruised and battered; Asparus's shirt is almost completely gone, ripped apart in various parts. Cabba's clothes was in a slight better shape, but in his back, a giant hole is open in his shirt, showing his bleeding back. The golden hair of Cabba's shined at every strike he gave, in contrast, Asparus's silver ki got as much attention from Kale's eyes, every time he shoot it. Both warriors continued to trade attacks one after another, Cabba was holding a big advantage over Asparus, however, was impressive how much the prince could trade back with Cabba in his Super Saiyan form.

"Now this is over." Asparus jumped back holding his hands to the sides. "Gin Taihō!" With a loud shout, Asparus released a furious wave of silver energy.

Cabba slid with his knees on the ground, passing directly below Asparus's attack; he then jumped to the side getting a clear view of his target. "Gallick Ho!" The purple ki wave hit directly at Asparus torso, blasting him off to a cliff way far back.

Cabba skidded a few steps backwards, huffing heavily. "Damn... That was close." He stared without blinking to the spot were Asparus landed after his Galick ho.

"He is getting stronger, right?" Kale's voice came right behind Cabba.

"Ohgodswhy-who?" Cabba yelped, startled at Kale's sudden appearance behind him. "Kale… Don't just show up behind other people, you scared the crap out of me."

Kale giggled shyly at his surprise. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." She glanced over to the hole Asparus ended up in. "But, I think he is getting stronger every time I see him fight."

"Tell me about it." Cabba sigh, but a smiled showed up in his bruised lips. "The guy is like a machine, even before being able to use his ki he could take quite the beating, now he just doesn't stay down no matter how much and how strong I strike him."

Without any stamina left, Asparus slowly dug his way out of the hole he made on the cliff. He scanned around with his eyes and quickly noticed Kale standing beside Cabba, the prince immediately rushed his way down towards them. Midway in his track, Asparus stopped and took a hand to his left cheek, he stood there for a few minutes, not moving an inch and just staring down at the ground in panic.

"What is he doing?" Cabba said with a snort.

"Is he hurt somewhere?" Kale on the other side started to get worried with his strange behavior.

"Maybe? Don't know, he seems fine to me." Cabba walked towards him, raising his right arm. "Hey, are you okay?"

To Cabba's surprise, Asparus turned around, after noticing his friend getting closer, hiding his face from him. "I am fine, just stay there, please." Then, he teared a small piece of cloth from the remaining of his shirt and hold it with his left hand, pressing it against his cheek. "I am good now." After that, he approached the other two saiyan normally, but still holding the cloth very close.

"What was that about?" With a raised eyebrow, Cabba smirked at him.

"Don't mind me, is just something silly." Asparus brushed off the question and quickly changed his expression to a frown. "You cheated." The prince said. "Super Saiyan, really?"

"Is not my fault that you can't transform." Cabba smiled mischievously. 'I don't even want to imagine how you would do with Super Saiyan.'

"That bad attitude from Caulifla is rubbing off on you." Annoyed at Cabba's reasoning, Asparus wanted to punch him again, but he definitely do not have the strength to another punch. "So, Kale how did you find us here?"

"I felt Cabba's ki increase rapidly, and I thought he was fighting some enemy again."

"Huh… So you came to save him?" With a not very pleased face, Asparus stared at her with a cold gaze.

"N-no, I thought you might be with him, a-and then I ended up coming here." She said stumbling in her words, almost panicking.

"So you came here to save me?" Now Asparus's face was radiat with happiness. "That is so sweet."

"Wha… I will go home now." Felling a bit uncomfortable, Cabba slowly started to ascend in to the air. "Would not be good to stay in the way of you guys flirting."

"Wait, what about the mission and Zirogane?" Asparus stopped him midair.

"We can talk about that later. Now I just want to take a shower and sleep again." With a subtle head nod, Cabba pointed to Kale and grinned at Asparus. "See you later Kale."

"B-bye…" She replied.

Soon after, Cabba disappeared between the clouds, leaving Kale and Asparus by themselves.

"So… How are your father?" immediately after saying it, Asparus hit his forehead with his free hand. 'Really? How are your father? Nice one, me.'

With a slow tilt of her head, Kale eyed him, she noticed the prince slightly blushing and that made her laugh. "He is fine. I never saw my father so happy when leaving to work. You see, it was the first time we saw the queen, he felt very special after her visit."

Seeing that Kale continued their talk, even at the strange choice of topic, made Asparus let out a sigh of relief. He felt a sharp pain in his legs and in conjunction with all the fatigue that build in his body, the prince's legs gave out, forcing him to sit on the dirty ground. "I know that is a bit late now, but… I am sorry about my mother."

"Huh? Why are you apologizing?" Kale sat at his side, brushing some dust from her shirt.

"Well, she just showed up, ordering you and your father around, asking strange questions. Anyone would hate that." Asparus glanced to his side, his eyes focusing on her right hand, sitting very close to him.

The saiyan girl dangled back and forward, grabbing hold of her legs, putting it close to her chest. "When she showed up in our door with a scary guard at her side, it startled me." Kale rested her head on top of her knees, keeping her eyes on Asparus. "I just kept thinking; What is the Queen doing here? Are we in trouble?" After a brief pause, she smiled. "But after talking with her, I felt just special… Just like my father."

Asparus eyes widened in surprise, for all that he know Kale would be angry with him, but the in the end, she was just amazed be her eventful morning. Asparus stared at her, his eyes melting over her; he just could not believe how sweet this girl is.

"I love her." Asparus broke the silence again. "I love my mother with all my heart."

"Hm…" Kale restrained herself from saying more. She knows that he was not done talking.

"Since I was little, my father pushed me around while nagging me about getting stronger and being a proper king." He frowned and shuffled the fingers of his right hand restlessly. "My mother was always kind, not letting my father force me to train all the time. Any time I found myself in a bind, I ran crying to her."

Kale giggled unconsciously, she hid her lips behind her hand. "It's hard to picture you crying."

"Not that hard. I cried all the time back then." Asparus winked at her, giving her a silly smile. "One day my father convinced mother that I needed to control my ki, that it was a wasted gift, if I could not control it." Asparus bit his lower lip, with a pained expression showing up in his face. "I know is kind of hard to miss it, but, did you noticed that my mother doesn't have the left arm?"

Kale nodded on response, she shifted her eyes to the other side, for some reasons she felt uncomfortable, and almost spectating the next part of the story to be a sad one.

Asparus lips started to tremble, his mouth was dry and a sudden sting on his eyes made him swing his head to the side. "I lost control that day, I couldn't… I couldn't control it. A bright light exploded around me and everything seemed to disappear." All his body tensed and he closed his eyes in an old and never-ending grief. "When I could finally see again, she was laying on the ground, her clothes drenched in blood. M-My father lost it, he yelled her name again and again, I was so scared, I tried to run towards her, but my legs didn't move an inch…

Kale felt tears form in her eyes, as she stared at the prince. Never Asparus seemed so hurt, so sad, he was like a lost puppy. "Asparus…" She slid her hand closer to him, but in reflex, he jerked his body away.

"After that, everything went white… I remember staring at the ceiling with a terrible pain in my face." Asparus dragged his eyes to Kale's. He noticed her hand getting closer and closer to him. "When I waked up again, I was on a hospital bed… Now I have this forever with me." He slowly slid his right hand down, carrying with it the improvised piece of cloth.

Kale gasped as she saw a big-burned scar on Asparus face. After wondering so many times why he uses a tape cloth on his face, she could finally see the part that is always covered. Kale felt a bad taste overtake her throat. For a moment she imagined, Asparus as a child, getting hit by whatever made that scar on his face, she closed her eyes as if she felt the same pain he did on that day. "What happened?" She mustered her voice to ask.

Asparus shrugged off with his shoulders. "Father blasted me with a ball of energy. I think he blamed me for mother losing her arm."

"It was not your fault." Kale yelled angrily. "I do not believe it was your fault…" She said again, now with a calmer voice.

"All in all, it doesn't matter anymore." He said in a sad voice. "Mother's days as a warrior was over and I was the one who did it."

Kale ignored her shy persona and finally grabbed hold of his hand. "Do you hate him?"

Asparus looked at her, surprised with her question. "Never did." He smiled to her. A fake and sad smile. "I disagree with father a lot, but I would never hate him." Asparus followed the gaze of Kale's eyes, she stared at his scar, making him very conscious. He then hid it again with his right hand. "I am sorry for babbling about this… and for showing you an ugly thing."

Kale reached for his hand and pulled it to her. "Don't apologize and don't talk about you like that." She pulled him closer to her and touched her forehead with his own. "I am happy that you decided to share something so important with me."

"Thank you, Kale." Tears started to flow from Asparus eyes, but in his lips, he held a very happy smile. "Know what, not everything was just sad and depressing back then." Asparus tried to cheer up the mood. "I kept training even without my father. Remember the soldier from this morning?"

Kale nodded with her head.

"Since I was a kid, He was at my side, helping me train and get my studies right." The prince pushed Kale down, resting her back on the ground. "Sheesh, this is getting way to awkward, now is your time to say things about you."

Kale shook her head, hiding her face behind her hands. "No way. I am not gonna." She started to giggle, as Asparus was not stopping his requests anytime soon.

Cabba entered his house, feeling tired as ever. His mother and his brother bombarded him with question because of his bruised body and ruined clothes; he calmed them and made his way to the second floor, dying to enter the warm and refreshing water of his bathtub. Without a care or thought in his mind, Cabba dashed across the hallway passing in front of his bedroom without giving it a glance.

"Jeez, I am sad now." Cabba heard a feminine and very familiar voice coming from his room. "Passing right through me and didn't said anything?"

He stopped in his tracks, but did not turned to look at her. "I am still mad at you." His voice came dry and low.

"Oh no! My Cabba is mad at me?" Caulifla walked slowly to him, placing her hand on his shoulder. "But why for?"

"You know perfectly why." He hissed at her, turning his head to the side evading her eyes. "Saying those, those things to my mom."

Caulifla whirled around Cabba, placing herself in front of him. The smile on her face was so wide that irritated the young Saiyan even more. "Don't be silly. The only thing I told her was that you are so caring and sweet, and how happy I felt last night… with you."

He eyed her, his face lost in confusion. "But Asparus was dead on the table, asking for help."

Caulifla laughed loud and heavy. "For someone who talks big, he is very innocent." She threw her arms around his neck. "I was talking about our first kiss and the guy just covered his ears and blushed like a maiden."

"Really?" Cabba snorted, raising an eyebrow.

"You bet. The look on his face was so funny, so I just kept at it." Caulifla pulled him with her and smiled at him seductively. "Hum… Let's take that shower, shall we?"

Hot red on the face, Cabba pushed her away carefully. "Are you crazy? Everyone is downstairs."

"What about it? No one will see if we go fast." She winked to him making Cabba blush even harder.

"Gods, Caulifla. You don't have any shame?" He rushed towards the bathroom door, not letting her inside with him. "No is no."

"Stingy." Caulifla stuck her tongue out, making an annoyed face. "Then, I will wait you in our room… d." She smiled a last time to the blushing saiyan boy who got so flustered by her words that almost closed the door on his hand.

'I love this woman so much, but she will be the death of me some day.' For the rest of his time in the bathroom, Cabba could not for his life, take the mental image of a naked Caulifla laying on his bed.

His supposed to be relaxing bath time, turned to be a lot shorter and agitated than he expected to be.

Asparus sat comfortable on his favorite spot, on the palacy main balcony. A few drops of water still drips from his wet hair, after the bath, the prince felt his whole body hurt like never before, and yet, he never felt so good. The sensation of Kale's hand pressing against his own, it still very vivid on his memory. A shy smile appeared on his lips, with his mind reliving the pleasing evening he spent with Kale.

"You look very happy, my prince." Greeno entered the balcony with a tray on his hand. "May I ask what happened?" The soldier placed the tray on Asparus side. He brought with him a varied amount of snacks and fruits.

"You may ask, but I will not say anything." Asparus quickly started to stuff his mouth with food.

"I will not pry then." Greeno bowed his head and prepared himself to leave.

"Could you tell mother that I am back?" With some food still in his mouth, Asparus called the soldier before he could leave.

"The Queen was very worried about you. She will be pleased that you want to talk to her again." Greeno gave a reassuring smile to his prince. "Now, may I ask why the sudden change of heart?"

"You may not." Asparus looked at him with a serious expression.

"As you wish, my prince." The older Saiyan took his leave without another word.

'I trust and like Greeno very much, but he is very daring sometimes, especially when it involves mother… For a normal soldier, he is strangely close to her.' Asparus eyed suspiciously the empty doorway, imagining what is inside the soldier's mind.

"A-Asparus." The prince jumped back after someone called his name.

He looked up and got chills on his spine. Kale is floating right above him, wearing a very serious and sad expression on her face. "Kale? What are you doing here?" He glanced everywhere, searching for any sight of the royal guard.

"Asparus, I need you… I need your help." Kale jumped down on him, embracing him with her tears wetting his new shirt.

"Shhh… I am here Kale." He embraced her even harder. "I will help you, with anything."

She lifted her head, pressing her lips against his left ear, her breath made his whole body shiver. "I need something from you." Kale pushed him back just enough to look at his eyes. "Don't die." Her face twisted in a perverted smile, her eyes sparkled with malicious intent.

"Kale?" Asparus's body jerked back as a beam of light tore a hole on his side. The taste of blood filled his mouth, he fell into his knees and his sight was starting to give out.

"Pretty please, don't die." A sweet and caring voice escaped Kale's lips, but her face is now, more twisted than before. With a swift movement of her hand, she shot another beam of light onto him, blasting half of the balcony away, making Asparus fell unconscious down below on the royal garden.

Kale took a blue orb from her pocket and as it started to shine with a bright light; her body changed getting bigger and more muscular. After the light died out, Henkanegi stood where Kale once was, he dropped down to where the prince fell and grabbed him by his shirt. "I got him. Take us out of here." A red and dark light engulfed both Asparus and Negi, twisting the very space around them. With an explosion of energy, they vanished, leaving behind only the trails of destruction of this short encounter.

P.S: Gin Taihō* - (銀大砲). I know this is not very immersive, the characters speaking japanese words all of a sudden, but Negi's name is japanese too, so I just choose the names that sounded right. I hope is not too imersion breaking for you guys. Oh and Negi's name was a minor spoiler from the very begining about what he does.
