Chapter 35
Goten gave Bra a final kiss goodbye as he walked outside and took off
into the air. Bra watched him go until he turned into a spec in the sky.
Goten didn't have a location in mind he just decided to fly to a secluded place so he could concentrate. Although Vegeta had probably been suppressing his Ki, Bulma had prevented anyone for looking for him. She said she couldn't live with herself if anyone was harmed or killed on her behalf.
But, Goten wasn't doing this for Bulma. He was doing it for Bra. He would give her the moon if she wished it. He would get Vegeta to come back if it was the last thing he did. Son's do not fail.
Goten landed on a mountain peak and sat down to concentrate. He knew Vegeta's Ki signature as well as he knew his fathers. In fact Vegeta was like a father figure to him for the years that his Dad was away. Actually they were family now that him and Bra were mated. It still seemed like a dream to him. Fate finally seemed to be on his side for once.
Goten took some deep breathes, like Gohan had taught him to do as a child, and cleared his mind (which wasn't hard to do!). He felt the light breeze against his face as he concentrated heightening all of his senses.
Wait...
There.
Off to the west.
Goten opened his eyes as a mischievous grin spread
across his handsome face. He had found him.
******************************************************************
Vegeta was training. He had surprisingly found it quite tranquil. At least for the first couple of days. He was surprised at how much the silence and those damn singing birds irritated him. If he had been less of a warrior he might expect that he was lonely. But that was impossible. He was the Prince of all Saiyans! Saiyans did not get lonely. They did not have needs for companionship or such nonsense.
He growled and let loose a huge blast towards a nearby mountain and
smirked as it exploded into tiny shards. No he did not need that, he did not need anyone.
"Hi Vegeta."
Vegeta spun around his surprise carefully hidden behind his emotionless expression. He then sneered, "Why have you come? You should have more sense than that...Of course you are a Son so I shouldn't expect too much thought went into your plan."
Goten met his glare. "I came because you have responsibilities old man. You are a heartless S.O.B. but for some reason Bra misses you, and Bulma does too. Of course you would have too stick bamboo shoots under her finger nails to get her to admit it."
"Don't mention that name around me! She is dead for all that I care." He turned his back on Goten dismissing him.
Goten snorted, "You disappoint me Vegeta. Only a coward runs away
instead of admitting he is wrong."
Vegeta swung back around. "You dare call me a coward second brat of
Kakarot? You are not even good enough to speak my name much less mate my princess."
"I call 'em as I see 'em." Goten said his eyes narrowed as he slide into a fighting stance. "You will return with me, I promised Bra."
Vegeta snarled as he attacked.
A/N if you read any of my other stories you know I suck at fight scenes, so insert your own please.

Pan was relaxing with Trunks in the double hammock in her back yard. She was very content as she lay her head on his chest enjoying the feel of his even breath on her hair. She lazily traced a finger around the buttons on his new white shirt. He had picked up the outfit after the "Tux incident" as he liked to call it. Luckily the fire department arrived quickly and Trunks promised to pay for all the damages.
Pan had giggled as Trunks relayed the story to her earlier. Apparently, the attendant had "punctured" Goku with a straight pin during his fitting and he freaked out and blasted the place. Gohan had ended up taking their measurements to another facility.
A strange feeling over came her and she looked at Trunks in confusion as he sat up suddenly toppling both of them to the ground.
"What is that?" Pan asked scrambling to her feet as the odd feeling
increased.
Trunks frowned his eyes set on the horizon.
"My father. He and Goten are fighting." He said uncertainly. He felt Pan touch his arm a look of worry in her eyes and he pulled her close. Trying to alleviate her fears.
****************************************************************************
*************************************************
Goku paused in mid-bite as he also felt the powers. Gohan had taken him to an all you can eat restaurant to take his mind off the incident. Food always did the trick. Gohan looked over at him quickly before standing up from the table. Goku sighed and shook his head no.
"This is not our battle." He said as he took another bite.
Gohan shook his head "Vegeta could kill him!"
Goku nodded, "Yes, he could." He said emphasizing the word could.
Gohan sighed and sat back down paying rapt attention to Goten's ki.
****************************************************************************
***************************************************
Bra's eye widened in horror. What had she done?
All she thought about was Vegeta coming back home. How stupid of her thinking he would come home willingly. Now Goten was in danger and it was all her fault. With a determined look she walked to her window and flew out.
Her brow creased worriedly as she flew but she was too upset to even think about the wrinkles that may be forming. She felt Goten's ki lower suddenly and her heart lurched as she picked up speed.
She quickly spotted Goten lying on the ground unmoving, her father
stood above him readying for another attack.
Bra screamed.
" NO!!"
As she quickly landed and threw herself on Goten's body to shield him from further harm. Her body wracked with sobs as she lay against his chest. Relief flooded through her as she felt his chest rise and fall as he labored for breath.
"Are you crazy?" Vegeta asked looking down at his daughter in disgust.
Bra sniffed as she rose to her feet.
"I will not let you kill him!" She spat back with a determination in her voice that Vegeta had never heard before.
Vegeta snorted, "He could have handled that blast. He's pathetic, but he is Saiyan." Vegeta looked thoughtful for a moment.
"When he comes to, tell him to be in the GR at 5:00 tomorrow morning. He requires training."
Bra watched in surprise as he took off into the sky towards capsule corp., it took a few seconds for his words to sink in. And she grinned.
****************************************************************************
***************************************************************
Vegeta marched into the kitchen at capsule corp. Spotting Bulma at the table he smirked.
"Woman! Get me something to eat."
Bulma looked up the hopefulness on her face quickly being replaced by anger.
"What does this look like a restaurant? Get it yourself you royal pain in the ass."
Vegeta walked over to where Bulma rose from the table to meet him. He growled as he pulled her to him. She looked into the deep black pools which were his eyes and she squeaked as he swept her up into his arms and headed upstairs to their bedroom.
****************************************************************************
***************************************
Pan stood clutching Trunks arm. He had his eyes closed as he
concentrated on the far away battle. Pan wasn't trained enough to sense what was going on. She had a hard time differentiating one ki from another. She wanted to ask but didn't want to interrupt Trunks. She could feel the muscles in his arm tense up.
Unable to control her curiosity any more she spoke, "What happened? Is Goten okay?"
Trunks opened his eyes staring into Pan's concerned ones. Seeing her fear he pulled her into his embrace and hugged her tightly. "Yes, my love. Everything is fine."
****************************************************************************
**************************************************************************
Two days later.........
Pan stood nervously on top of the lookout. She stood by the edge and looked out over the earth far below her. It looked so peaceful from way up here. You couldn't see the people or even most of the buildings. All that could be seen was the green fertile earth spattered here and there with blue water. The sight was very soothing to her. She felt someone grasp her elbow gently and looked over at her mother.
"It's time." Videl said quietly.
"I'm nervous." Pan admitted.
Videl smiled, "So was I.
