Thanks to those who reviewed for the first chapter. I'm glad you like it so far. Here's the second chapter! Read and review please!

Author's Note: 'Nother note I thought I would let you in on. In this universe the power gap between Saiya-jins and 'special' humans is not as great as in the original series. At this moment, Radditz is stronger than Goku and his friends, but Yamcha and Krillin are close to Goku's powerlevel. Any questions, feel free to ask.

Saiya-jin Ways

Chapter 2- I Have A Brother!

Krillin rolled his eyes at the newly weds as they cuddled, nuzzled and flirted. "I'm not going to be able to take much more of this..." He grumbled. From his position next to the bald-headed warrior, Yamcha laughed and nudged his friend. "Hey, it's sweet, Krillin. You're just jealous."

Krillin shrugged. "Nah, I always knew that Goku or Bulma would be the first to get married. Never thought it would be to each other." He took a bite of his hamburger.

"Yeah, really. But who do you think will be next to strap on the old ball and chain?" Inquired Roshi from his end of the table. Everyone at the table stopped and looked at one another, Bulma and Goku examining their bachelor friends.

"I don't think Yamcha will ever get married." Bulma suddenly commented. Yamcha fell back off the bench. Goku laughed nervously. "Aww, come on Bulma...I don't think that's true."

"I do. You're just too afraid of commitment, Yamcha. I mean, come on, in any relationship I've ever seen you in you break up with the girl every time she starts getting too emotional about stuff or too attached to you." She continued objectively.

Yamcha pulled himself up off the ground, looking at Bulma indignantly. "Tha—that's not true. I just haven't found the right girl yet." The scarred fighter defended himself, his cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

"Krillin, on the other hand, he's not as picky." She winked at him. "And I know you'll find a sweet girl before Yamcha commits himself." She smiled sweetly at both of them. Goku continued to chuckle, holding the blue-haired woman in his lap.

"And what about me?" Roshi asked, standing up and flexing his non- existent muscles. Everyone promptly burst into laughter, causing the old hermit to look at them with confusion before blushing and sinking back into his chair.

Goku suddenly stopped laughing, his sharp senses kicking in as a presence approached them. Looking off to his right he spotted the stranger stalking towards them. He slid Bulma out of his lap and stood, placing himself between the tall man and his friends.

Raditz no longer bothered suppressing his ki as he drew closer to the earthlings. His dark eyes were narrowed and his lips curved into an unpleasant scowl. His brother stood and faced him, soon followed by the rest of the table's occupants. The defensive stance the short bald man and the scarred face man were taking made the Saiya-jin smirk. Futile precautions.

"Can we help you?" Goku asked, standing at his full height, but the new comer was still a good head taller than him.

"You know why I'm here. Now I demand an explanation." He stated simply, his scowl returning. His brother's serious expression was replaced by a confused one.

"Umm...I do?" He cast a glance to his friends, receiving shrugs in return, before he looked back to the tall stranger. "Sorry, I'm afraid I don't..."

The Saiya-jin warrior stopped a few feet from Kakorrot, quirking a brow. After a moment of thought his brows lowered, causing his eyes to narrow further. He couldn't believe it! Not only did his brother make friends with these humans, adopt their customs, and mate with one, but now he was –pretending- not to know what he was! Only the weakest of Saiya- jins pulled such a trick.

The maned man snarled, "I can't believe this! You're pathetic, Kakorrot." He spat, glaring at the dark-haired fighter with disgust clear on his face.

Goku blinked again before smiling. "Oh, I get it. This is all a misunderstanding. My name is Goku. Sorry friend, but you have the wrong person."

Raditz's brow furrowed, even confronted he still pretended! "Drop the act, Kakorrot, before you make me sicker than I already am."

"Hey, bud, I don't know who you think you are, but you have no right to stomp over here and start throwing around accusations." Bulma snapped, placing her hands on her hips in her usual manner and staring at the alien heatedly. "His name is –Goku-, not Kakorrot and we don't know you."

Goku turned back to his wife, smiling nervously. "Bulma, sweetie, it's okay. I'll handle this, alright?" Bulma regarded her husband for a moment, glancing at Raditz before nodding and folding her arms across her chest. Goku turned back to the angry stranger, smiling apologetically. "I apologize, friend, but I honestly have no idea who you're talking about. My name is Goku Son and I have no idea who you are."

Raditz continued glaring at Goku, but after a moment his expression softened. He was telling the truth. There was no deception or untruth in his dark eyes. He sincerely had no idea who he really was. "I can't believe this. You've forgotten."

Krillin and Yamcha glanced at each other quizzically before returning their attention to the now flabbergasted new comer. "Forgotten what?" Goku asked, even more intrigued than before.

This was going to be more difficult than he thought. It wouldn't have been so bad if Kakorrot had merely denied his Saiya-jin heritage. Raditz had no problem tearing apart someone's life that was like that, but an innocence such as this? The Saiya-jin sighed inwardly.

"I'm positive you're Kakorrot. You resemble our father too closely not to be him." He said in a softer voice than he had been speaking before.

Goku blinked several times, the words registering. "-Our- father?" His face suddenly split into a grin. "You mean...you're my brother?" Raditz nodded once. Goku turned to Bulma, grinning excitedly. "Bulma! I have a brother!" He turned back to his newly discovered relative, who promptly sweat dropped at Goku's reaction.

The Earth raised Saiya-jin stepped closer to his brother, closing the gap between them. "Wow, I have a thousand questions for you. What's your name? How old are you? Why am I just now meeting you? Where are our parents? Where—"Goku stopped abruptly when Raditz held up his hand. "Stop." He said, looking a bit uncomfortable with the interrogation. "I'll answer all of your questions, but for now, I need to speak with you..." He glanced to Goku's friends and family. "Alone."

Goku glanced over his shoulder to the others before looking back at Raditz. "Of course." He looked to his friends again. "I'll be right back." With that he followed Raditz back the way he came, disappearing into the woods.
