Let's just start the fic; I'm sick of repeating that every time…cheh.

Leave Me Alone

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

A fight to death.

Blood to be shed.

A right to take.

A memory to be found.

A life to be saved.

A mate to be claimed.

A battle to win.

The last thought was the most important as Goku was trying his hardest to keep up with Frieza. But it was obvious he was losing.

The rest of the Z fighters and Frieza's men had stopped fighting long ago and were observing the on-going fight.

Goku had shot back up to level three of his super saiyan; hoping he would at least stay close to Frieza's level, but it was fruitless; he couldn't keep track of his movement, let alone hoping to land a hit on him, until he received a kick on the side of his face that sent him hurling into the hard floor near the wall.

"This is it," Frieza stepped close to Goku, preparing a beam in his hand, "Don't worry, I'll make it as fast and painless as it could be; after all, it's you who asked for a fight."

Breathing heavily, Goku closed his eyes waiting for the final blast that would end him off, 'I never got to tell Vegeta what he meant to me, I failed him!'

"Good bye, saiyan boy!" with those word the beam was shot.

Goku shit his eyes even tighter.

The Z fighters were paralyzed with hawk like eyes, unbelieving.

Frieza's men staring with small smirks on their faces.

Crash.

Splash.

Thud.

Silence.

Goku slowly opened his eyes half way, wondering why he was still alive and what happened, only to gasp in horror at what he saw.

Vegeta was sprawled in front of him, obviously made himself a shield to Goku and thus taking the blast instead of him. He was on his side, blood slowly forming under and around him, pieces of some glassy objects around him, glistening beautifully, making the scene almost look like a dream.

Though reality was something else.

The Z fighters were unable to move after what they saw; Vegeta seemed to have came out of no where and threw himself in front of Goku, the blast breaking the thing he was holding and then blasting into his middle, but fortunately, didn't continue further to where Goku was.

Frieza was frozen were he stood, eyes wide with panic, mouth opening and closing but not able to form actual words.

Staring at Vegeta 's unconscious face, Goku hurried to his side and quickly held him into his arms, shaking him roughly, hoping to wake the other saiyan up, "Vegeta! Open your eyes, you have to open your eyes!" shaking the prince some more, Goku didn't realize there were tears starting to will up in his eyes, "Wake up, Vegeta, you can't leave like this!!"

Goten and chibi Trunks, after the fusion had wore off, stood shaking on their feet. Chibi Trunks was hiccupping slightly, trying hard not to explode into tears. Raditz heard the about-to-break-down boy and held his shoulder with his hand, not really looking at him, but staring at his prince.

"Vegeta, you can't go now; not after you promised me to wait for me!" Goku buried his face in his neck, "Not now… you are my soul mate, you can't … not yet…"

A finger brushed against his arm, making Goku look up in alarm, "Y-you… remembered…" a weak voice whispered, and Goku looked into Vegeta's slowly opening eyes, dismissing the fact that the prince finally spoke, "Vegeta!"

The prince gave a weak smile, trying to focus his attention on the other saiyan's eyes, "You remembered… finally…" Goku smiled as well, "Yeah, I remember… clearly… my soul mate."

They both stared into each other's eyes as they remembered the day of their promise.

FLASH BACK

A five years old Vegeta, along with small wolf-like pet, Mai, walked casually through the streets of the capital city, they had sneaked away from Raditz to see what the people were like without knowing he was the prince. The young saiyan heard a commotion nearby and saw few small spaceships blasting away, he blinked a couple of times before smirking slyly, the young prince crept to where the space ships had blasted from followed closely by Mai, and glanced around a corner and blinked again.

Few saiyans were placing saiyan cubs into small spaceships and then set them off into space. He remembered then his father telling him about this; they send the cubs into space and to other planets to clear them from inhabitations and after years they'll return to their home planets, but if they were too weak they would have died doing their missions.

The young prince himself didn't like the way it went with the cubs and had been planning of changing this when he became the king.

"I'm not sure about it, but… I think… it's correct…"

Prince Vegeta blinked and peaked again. There were three saiyans, two of them were standing and checking the control panels or something, but the third saiyan was kneeling in front a small spaceship, the door was open and he was looking inside at the cub that was in lovingly. The saiyan had wild black hair, scar on his face and bandana around his head.

The prince narrowed his eyes; the saiyan looked familiar to him; he just couldn't pinpoint where he had seen him before.

"Bardock, everything is ready." one of the two saiyans looked over his shoulder at Bardock, "Your son will be off in five minutes."

Bardock!

Now Vegeta remembered him, he was a fighter and a scientist. He came to the royal palace few times before and talked to the king. He mentally smacked himself over the head, he was Raditz's father too, how, oh how could he have forgotten that? He shook his head; so Bardock had another son and was sending him to another planet.

Bardock sighed, "Well, this is it, son… I'll miss you," He took his son out the spaceship and kissed his forehead, "Kakarrot."

He placed him back in and stood, with a last glance back at his son, Bardock left.

The prince waited for them to go away, which took only ten seconds, and ran to the small spaceship, Mai keep close to him. He knelt down and looked in, for some reason he felt like he had to see this cub, and he never ignored his instincts.

However, as soon as Vegeta landed his eyes on the cub something inside him stirred and he froze.

The cub yawned and looked up when he felt eyes on him. He blinked few times and held his arms up for the stranger to grab him, already liking him, letting out a loud 'adaah.

Vegeta's sharp eyes locked into the cub's wide ones, feeling himself filling with some kind of emotion for the little saiyan, and his eyes softened lovingly at him.

He opened the door of the spaceship and reached his hand to the cub, earning a small 'taaah' from him making his lips curl up into a smile. He then knew what this was, and he mouthed three words, "My soul-mate."

The cub's small fingers curled around his own a little bigger hand and fingers and let out a squeal of delight, making Vegeta's own smile grow bigger, "Don't forget…"

Vegeta then pulled the smaller hand to his lips and gave it a small kiss, he then closed the door again and made sure it was locked securely, for the five minutes were about to be up.

He stood again, but some strange feeling made him want to check the destination of this cub. He went to the control panel and read to himself, "Planet Mars."

Planet Mars, that sounded a nice planet for who doesn't know it, but for someone like him it wasn't; he was educated well enough to know the planets with life and another planet that can't keep a creature alive to send the cubs to, and planet Mars was a dead planet. Frowning, the young prince searched his mind for the nearest planet to Mars that has lives in it, thinking of punishing those careless saiyans who sent cubs to dead planets, and remembered planet Earth.

Nodding to himself he set the spaceship's systems to planet Earth instead of planet Mars. Just as he finished the spaceship roared to life and started shaking, Vegeta waved to the cub, who was waving his own hands to him before he was struck with sleeping gas that had him asleep at once, and as Vegeta saw him sleep, the spaceship blasted off.

"Goodby for now," Vegeta whispered, "We'll meet again someday, Kakarrot."

Then turned around and ran back to Raditz in the castle to continue the ceremony of his birthday, "Let's go back, Mai, or Raditz will have our heads!"

END FLASH BACK

Goku smiled sadly as he remembered that day; many things would have been avoided if he just at least remembered that. He then noticed Vegeta go limp in his arms, and it struck him that he may die any second if he didn't start doing anything, "Vegeta!!"

Vegeta's head fell back limply as he was shook, his face had a hint of pain, and the blood that was rushing out of his body was a more than enough to scream 'NEED HELP'.

"We need to get him somewhere else where he could be treated!" Mirai Trunks shouted to snap Goku out of his shock.

"Bite him, Kakarrot!" Raditz screamed at Goku, succeeding in startling him, "W-what?"

"Bite him between his shoulder and neck, NOW!"

"B-but… he's in no condition for th-" Goku tried to argue but was silenced by holler from his brother, "Shut up and do it, you idiot, or he WILL die!!!"

Goku had no choice but to obey as he leaned down and bit Vegeta between his shoulder and neck drawing blood, which he sucked on briefly. Pulling away he felt his energy being shifting in a weird way he couldn't understand, but it didn't bother him much because Vegeta's energy stopped dropping down for now.

Frieza stared at his mate and the other saiyan by his side not saying a word, his eyes had glint of some emotion he couldn't name, "Zarbon."

Zarbon blinked, "Yes, master Freiza?"

"Turn the ship around and go to that house where Vegeta lives." With that being said, Frieza turned and left the ruined room.

"Uhh… yes… master Frieza…" Zarbon couldn't help the small smile that came to his face.

8888888888

The first thing Vegeta felt when he regained consciousness was the soreness through his body.

Especially his stomach.

He couldn't remember for the hell of it what happened before he pass-out.

Goku, who was sitting by Vegeta's side since he got there along with both mirai Trunks and chibi Trunks, Goten, Raditz and Tien, felt a movement and looked to see Vegeta's hand twitch lightly. His eyes brightened as the prince finally came to, "That's it Vegeta, now open your eyes."

Vegeta heard the voice calling to him, coaxing him to full consciousness, and cracked his eyes open slowly.

To be greeted by the watery eyes of Kakarrot, who looked like he was about to hug the life out of him, "Wh-where…"

"You're at Capsule Corp.; for some reason Frieza got us back here and we had Bulma and her team treat you immediately." Goku sighed, relieved, "You're safe now, nothing is gonna happen to you anymore."

Vegeta frowned, he didn't really grasp what Kakarrot was talking about, so he searched his memory for what had last happened.

The last thing he remembered was being with Frieza when Kakarrot and the other Z fighters came into the ship, they then had a fight with Frieza and he was taken to the room of that orb, when an idea came into his mind, and he used the orb's bower to escape that room and finally jumping in front of a blast Frieza had aimed at Kakarrot to finish him, which blasted through his middle-

Vegeta's eyes shot wide open as he bolted up with his hand flying to his stomach, which he felt was feeling lighter and empty now, "WHERE'S MY BABY!!??"

The six figures in the room jumped back in alarm, with Goten falling on chibi Trunks' lap, at the prince shout. Raditz immediately regained his senses and rushed to Vegeta's side again holding his shoulders with his hands in a try to calm him down, "Relax, the baby is safe!"

Vegeta snapped his head to Raditz questioningly, and Raditz understood, "He's to your right, sleeping."

Vegeta froze, but managed to move his head to his right and saw a bundle of soft cotton that had a small opening where a small face was showing from. His eyes softened as his face relaxed and he reached to the bundle and held it in his arms protectively.

"We were able to get you here in time and even managed to save your baby. One minute later and you both would have been dead." Mirai Trunks spoke softly, watching a side of his father he never even thought of seeing before.

"What are you gonna name him?" Goten asked excitedly, jumping off Trunks' lap.

Vegeta blinked at him and looked at his baby again, now taking a better look at him.

It was obviously a boy, he had bronze skin like his own and upon removing the clothe wrapped around him, shiny black hair that was to become the traditional royal flame of the family, he had a healthy saiyan tail, which as soon as it was released curled around Vegeta's hand and the boy opened his eyes to reveal shocking red flames of pupils.

It seems the boy only had his father's eyes, nothing more.

"So," Goten piped up again, "What are you gonna name him?"

Vegeta stared at his son some more, then smiles, "Kai."

"Kai?" Tien blinked, "Kai and not Vegeta?"

Raditz was surprised as well but when he gazed into Vegeta's eyes, he smirked, "Ah, I see."

Goku, Tien, mirai, chibi and gotten along with Vegeta looked at him. "You're gonna name him something that doesn't remind you of yourself or your father or our planet, right?"

Vegeta smirked back, "Yes, but I named him that because he looks peaceful like the sea before a storm, and there's a language sea means Kai in, and…" he smirked evilly, "If you add an 'A' to Kai it becomes 'Akai' in which mean red in Japanese, and red goes with his fiery red eyes."

Chibi Trunks was amazed, "Wow, one name for two opposite things!"

"Cool!!" Goten cried out happily and ran off, probably to tell the rest about the new name. "Wait for me, Goten!!" and there goes chibi Trunks.

"Well, at least they're back to normal." Kakarrot watched where they left, Raditz, Tien and mirai Trunks nodding, "So, how are you really feeling?"

"Truthfully, I feel like hell, not to mention sore all over." Vegeta closed his eyes and leaned back moving Kai to a better position on his chest, "Where is he?"

"Who do you mean?" Tien asked, gulping a bit.

"Don't act like you don't know," Vegeta sighed, "Where's Frieza?"

"He's with the others in the other room." Raditz answered, knowing the prince won't accept any other answer.

"Get him here, I need to talk to him." And after a second thought he added, "Alone."

The four exchanged glances and nodded, "Fine, but… umm… can we take Kai to the others to show him to them, please?"

Vegeta raised an eye-brow at Goku, "Haven't they seen him already? I thought I was out long enough for them to see him."

"Well, you see, you were out for only a day, and Kai needed to be in intense care to make sure he wasn't in any possible danger, so not all of us could see you or him."

"How do I make sure he'll stay safe?" Vegeta narrowed his eyes.

"I give you my word!" Raditz exclaimed, earning a look from Vegeta that told him if he didn't stick up to his word he'll wish he was to hell, "Ok, but if anything happens to Kai, and I mean anything…"

Raditz paled, "Don't worry; nothing is going to happen to him."

"Ok, then. Be careful." Vegeta shifted Kai and handed him to Raditz, who took him and carefully secured his hold on him.

"Damn it, father, he even have your glare, now that's freaky!" mirai Trunks sweat-dropped when he peered over Raditz shoulder to look at his half brother. Kai was glaring Raditz, annoyed at the fact that he was not with his mother.

"You're right, he is glaring!!" Tien stared at Kai too, "And at this age? He's barely a day old! I fear the day he becomes old then."

Vegeta just smirked.

Goku chuckles, "Ok, let's go now." Pushing the other three out of the room and closing the door behind him.

Vegeta sighed and relaxed back on the bed he was in. at least he was back in his old room. Now, all he needed to do is settle things with Frieza and see where this goes, and then everything will go based on that.

He brushed his bangs away from his forehead and scoffed; his bangs didn't go back up like before, but really he liked it like this. And looking down at his body, he realized that not big changed happened to it, too. But the most embarrassing thing was his chest. His breasts were a little rounded than usual and it doesn't take a genius to figure out why.

He blushed.

The door opened and then closed again. Vegeta looked up and saw Frieza standing there looking back at him, "I was told you wanted to talk to me."

Vegeta mused around the fact that Frieza of all people was saying that, "Yes, I do."

8888888888

"Guys!!!" Goku called as he and the others entered the living room, "Look who we got here with us!"

The fighters in the room all rushed to see new addition, "So, this is Kai?"

"Let me see!!"

"He's a copy of Vegeta!!"

"I want to see!!"

"He has Frieza's eyes."

"He's cute!"

"See, I told you he looks like my father!"

"I still wanna see!!"

"Ha, master Frieza should see this kid!"

"Oh, shut it Dodoria… but he will be shocked to see his eyes staring back at him."

"Someone, please, hold me up; I can't see!!!!!"

"Here ya go!"

"Oh, thank you, Goku… oww, he's so cute!!!"

"His name suits him to be truthful!"

Raditz was getting uncomfortable at the fact that all the fighters were around him, but he felt hands rest on his shoulders softly and looked over his shoulder to see Tien, who smile reassuringly at him in which Radits return feeling a bit relieved.

Goku laughed at the attention Kai was already receiving and replying to by frowns and glares that were sent at almost everyone. And then finally giving up and snuggling onto Raditz's chest and falling asleep.

Which got more 'ahh' and 'ohh' from them.

TO BE CONTIUE
