PREVIOUSLY…
I see him lifting off the ground and start to fly away. All I could do was stare at his figure flying away from me. He doesn't live far away from me. He only lives on tip of the biggest hill, which is only a mile west of my home. After he is out of sight, I turn an enter my home..
Chapter 5: Memories
/Flashback/
"Vegeta, look out!" said a beautiful woman. I heard my mother yell, the next the I knew I was being held close to her barley dodging a ki blast.
I look up to my mom while she was still carrying me in her arms. She looked very angry at me, though, And I think I know why. "Vegeta, what are doing here?!" she asked angrily.
I winced at her tone. "I wanted to come with you, mother. I wanted to fight with you." I said. And that was the truth. Even though I was only three years old, I am a saiyan. And saiyans love to fight, even at a young age.
"Vegeta, you're too young to come on this mission. I know you're strong, but I don't want you to get hurt." said my mother in a calming voice.
BOOM! CRASH!
I forgot that we were on the battle field. I looked around and noticed that enemies were quickly approaching and surrounding us from all directions. Then, all of a sudden, ki beams were coming from above us killing all of those who were close to us.
I looked up, and I saw someone flying towards us. And I knew who it was the moment I noticed that stupid hair style of his, it was Kakkarot. Kakkarot was the youngest prince of the saiyan race. His older brother's name is Radditz, and even though Radditz is a couple years older than Kakkarot, I think that Kakkarot would become a better king…
"Vegeta!" I heard him call for me. He landed in front of us, and I hopped down from my mother's arm to stand in front of him.
Before I knew it, all I could smell was his scent. He smelled really good for someone who was covered in blood. He wrapped his arm and tail around my waist, and I wrapped my arms around his, along with my tail. I felt him take a deep breath, and he slowly pulled away from the hug.
Like my mother, he gave me an angry look, "What are you doing here?!" he yelled at me.
I flinched. He barely ever yelled at me, only when he was angry. And whenever he got angry, I always fight back. ALWAYS…
"I wanted to fight!" I yelled back to him.
He looked at me, confused. "What? You came all the way here just because you want to fight?!" he yelled again. I simply nod at him while crossing my arms.
His scowl grew even deeper, but I knew he was trying to calm himself down. I see him look behind me at my mother. With the scouter I had on, I saw that his power level was sky rocketing. But why would he be angry at my mother?
Kakkarot walked passed me and up to my mother and screamed at her. "Woman! What the hell is my mate doing here?!"
I stood there, shocked. How dare Kakkarot scream at my mother! I don't get why they hate each other so much. As long as I have been alive, all I see them do was fight. And they always fight about me. I don't get it. Everytime I ask father why they were always fighting, he said they are fighting for your attention. I never understood what he was trying to say to me, so I just stopped asking.
I wait and see what my mother is going to say. She always gets angry when Kakkarot says the word "mate", I don't know why though. I don't even know what that means.
"Shut it, you spoiled little brat! I wouldn't bring my three year old son on a mission! Like yours would!" my mother said. I could see her tail lashing behind her, sending out her scent of anger.
Again, I don't what the big deal is with my mother not wanting me to fight. I mean, new born infants are sent away on there own to destroy a whole planet. My mother is so over-protective of me.
I looked at Kakkarot and saw his expression turn into a confused one. "What? Then how did my mate get here?" he asked.
Like myself, my mother crossed her arms and said, "Stop calling my son your mate, you brat! My son got here on his own in his own space pod!"
Kakkarot crossed his own arms. "Well, it's the truth. Vegeta is my mate. He is mine! And always has been mine! Got it, woman?!" he said his anger becoming noticeable again.
"My son would not be mated to a spoiled little prince! He is still a child! My child! And a child need his mother!" she yelled back.
I looked towards Kakkarot waiting for his next retort, but he didn't say anything. All he did was "hmph!" and he left in a direction where I suspected were more enemies.
I looked at my mother, and saw her wrap her tail around her waist. She gave a big sigh and looked at me. She gave a sad smile, the one she usually gives when she is done fighting with Kakkarot for the day. She starts walking back to her space pod, but I call out to her.
"Mother, where are you going?" I asked running after her.
My mother stopped in her tracks but didn't turn to look at me. She spoke, "I'm going to my space pod to calm down. I'll be back in half an hour. No need to worry, Vegeta."
And as she flies away to her space pod, my scouter goes off. It's telling me that there are others, stronger than me, around. And from what I can tell, they're all heading for my mother. I look into the direction to where my mother left for. Her space pod.
My heart stopped and I flied toward all the ki signatures. "Mother!" I yell.
When I get close enough to see what is going on, I can see my mother fighting more than ten of those monsters at a time. I don't know what to do. I have to help my mother! And quick! I fly to her as fast as I can.
Her space pod is gone. Blasted into a million pieces. "Mom!" I yell when I land.
I see mom look towards me. I can see that she is surprised, and after that it was fear. Why would she be scared?
"Vegeta! Look out!" she yelled.
I didn't know why she told me that when she was the one getting attacked. Then I turn and saw a blast heading my way.
BOOM!
It missed. I moved out of the way just enough for it to miss me. But I didn't make such a great landing. I tumbled and scraped the floor as I was thrown back against the rough ground. When the smoke was gone, I look up. And see that I am surrounded by the monsters of this planet.
I'm suddenly picked up my one of my legs and dangled in the air upside down. The one that was dangling me in the air spoke, "Well, well. What do we have here?"
The others laughed around me. I don't get what was so funny about this. I looked around towards my mother, and saw that she was trying to get to me. Yelling my name telling me to try and get away. I couldn't. She was fighting off so many of these monsters trying to get to me.
"Hey! What is a kid doing here?" One of them asked to no one in particular.
I replied, "I'm not a kid!"
And then I remembered that I have a tail. I unwrapped it from around my waist, and wacked the guy who was holding in the face. He screamed in pain. He let go of me, and I fell to the ground with a thump.
"Why you little-You're gonna pay for this!" He screamed at me.
He raised his arm, and started to form a ki blast. The blast looked really strong for me to take. I closed my eyes, ready to take the blast. I hear my mother calling my name, "Vegeta!" I can hear it was far away. . .too far away to get to me.
BOOM!
But the death of me never came to me. I opened my eyes. And I looked up to see Kakkarot.
"Kakkarot!" I said in surprise.
He had his arm up like the monster that he stood in front of. He blocked the attack for me. Kakkarot looked from his arm to the man that tried to kill me and said, "Weak."
Just as simple as that.
The monster looked angry, and those who were around as well. "Wha-How dare you say that?! I'm not weak!"
But Kakkarot ignored him. He turned around to attend to me. His face softening when he looked at me, like it always does. "Are you okay, Vegeta?" he asked me.
And all I could do is nod. "H-How did you get here so fast, Kakkarot?" I asked.
And he gave me a grin. "Well, I don't mean to brag, but I am pretty fast."
And I couldn't help but smile back. His smiles are so contagious. But, the moment was ruined by those monsters in front of us.
"Hey, brats! Don't you dare ignore us!" one of them said.
Kakkarot's face hardened at the sound of his voice. He turned around to face them, after picking me up and putting me down on my feet.
"Leave this Planet! This Planet now belongs to the saiyans!" he yelled.
They laughed at him.
"Oh yeah, kid. What makes you say that?" one said.
"Come here, brat. And let us show you a lesson."
One of them got close to us. And Kakkarot growled. He put an arm in front of me to make sure that I didn't move. That I stay right where I am. And when he got a little closer to him, Kakkarot got a closer and blasted him in the chest.
The bidy flew back and into some of the others. I couldn't see it, but I'm pretty sure Kakkarot is smirking.
"Hey the kid is pretty strong, isn't he?" said one of them.
"You barely noticed? You guys are stupider than I thought." Kakkarot said with a smirk.
They suddenly got closer to us, and they turned to each other, and smirked. Then one of them said, "Why don't we just finish them off, eh?"
And at hearing that, Kakkarot put his arm and waist around me. He snarled at them. But, they just laughed at us and raised their arms all together.
"Bye bye, brats." one of them said.
And at the last second, Kakkarot turned his body so that it fully covered me.
BOOM!
And again, nothing happened. . .we were both safe. I guess Kakkarot noticed too, he moved out of my way and what I saw next stopped my heart.
Mother.
My mother stood in front of us. Her skin smoking from the strong blast that she just protected us from. Her armor blasted off. And her body covered in blood. Dripping down her body. And in her stomach was where their blast had taken place. You could see through her body. Straight through that you could see the demons that blasted her.
The demons were laughing at us.
"Awe, look. The kid's mommy came to save them. How sweet!" And there laughs became even harder. "Mother!"
When I got to her, I dropped to my knees. And I looked at where the blast tore through her body. "Mother. . . .mom. .mom..." I mumbled.
I didn't know what else to say. My mother is dying. . .I don't know what to do. . .she's dying
I continue to quietly say her name. I took her hand in my even tinier ones. I held her hand between mine. I don't know what to do. All I can say is her name.
She is gone.
And then I heard her voice. Saying my name.
". . .Vegeta. . ." she said.
My eyes widened at the sound of my name. I look up at her, and I can see her eyes. She was barely keeping them open. The tears in my eyes got bigger and started to spill out. She's alive. . .my mother is alive. And I need to keep it that way.
"Kakkarot!" I yell.
The next thing I know, my mother is being picked up. Kakkarot started walking to his space pod.
"Don't worry, Vegeta. Everything is going to okay." he says to me. And all I could do is believe him. Though I'm not sure if its true.
Since Kakkarot is the prince, instead of a space pod like everyone else, he gets a ship that could room at least 10 people. He had his own healing chamber. And that could save my mother. When we enter, Kakkarot puts on a bed while he gets the healing chamber set.
He leaves as quick as he came in, and I stay with my mother. I hold her hand again. And I look up into her eyes, and see that her eyes are closed. My heart drops again.
I start calling her again. "Mom. . .mother. . .mom. . .please don't die. . . please. . ."
My tears drip onto her bloodied clothes. The hand that was being held by me, started squeezing mine. I look up again and her eyes were open.
"Vegeta. . ." she says.
"Mommy. . ." I say back. I haven't said that for months now. Mommy.
She gave me one of her smiles. "Vegeta. . .I-I love you so much. . ."
I couldn't hold back anymore., The tears just escaped. "I l-love you too, mommy. . ."
"Please. . .don't leave me. . ." I say.
"Vegeta. . .Ka-Kakkarot is t-there for you. . ." she says it slow weakly, "You don't n-need me anymore. . ."
I tighten my hands around hers. "I-I do need you. . .mommy. . .don't go. . ."
She shakes her head weakly, "You don't. . .he will protect you. . .I l-love you s-so much. . ."
I could feel her hand loosening her grip on mine, "Goodbye, V-Vegeta. . ."
Her eyes close. Her head falls limp to the side. And I stare. No. . .she can't be gone. She can't.
"KAKKAROT!" I yell.
My mother is up in his hold again. And he's rushing toward the healing chamber.
He puts her inside. And pushes the green button. The fluids start surrounding her body.
We wait for what seems like forever. Then a beeping sound goes off. Kakkarot looks at it. And closes his eyes.
"W-what's wrong?" I ask.
He looks at me and shakes his head.
"Vegeta. . .she's dead. . ." he says to me.
No. No! She can't be! She can't!
I start to shake my head, not believing a word of what he said. "No. . .NO!"
I turn towards the pod that is keeping my mother inside. She is going to open her eyes. She is going to give that smile again. That smile that she only gives to me. She is going to be by my side.
"She is not dead!" I yell.
I felt something touch my hand. "NO!" I yell. I tore his hand away from mine.
Kakkarot didn't know what to do.
My mother said he was going to protect me. How can he when he doesn't know what to do?
I can feel that he is holding my hand again, but I don't yank it away. I look up at him.
"Vegeta. . .she's gone. . ." he says.
And I break down. I fall to my knees, and harder than ever before. She's gone. And she isn't coming back. Never coming back. Never.
I feel arms encircling me. It's Kakkarot. I look up at him, and I notice something. His eyes. They are flickering. They're turning blue. And it looked like Kakkarot didn't notice it. His hair. It was flickering from black to gold, and then back again.
He pulled into his arms and held me to his chest. And I cried my heart out. My hands grip his armor and I wail. I can't take it!
She's gone. . .
/Flashback Over/
I lay on my bed, tears spilling down my cheeks. I miss her so much.
And then I remember her words.
Kakkarot is there for you.
He will protect you.
I didn't get why she said that before. But now I do.
Kakkarot is my mate...or he soon will be.
He is strong. He isn't weak. He is always there for me. Kakkarot will protect me.
He will love me. . .
And I close my eyes and think of him. The one that I love. The one that protects me.
What up, guys! I know its been over half a year since I last updates. Doesn't feel that long to me though.

. . .Sirius Black
. . .Remus Luping

. . .Harry Potter
. . .Ron Weasley
. . .Charlie Weasley
. . .Fred or George

. . .Theodore Nott
. . .or ONE OF MY OWN CHARACTERS
Any ways please help me choose. I would really like your opinion on this.
Either put your opinion on one of the reviews, or just use the Private Message thing.
