Chapter 4- Goodbye
The sun didn't take too long to rise. Vegeta woke up and looked at the clock: 8am. He was holding Kakarott close to him and heard his purring. He couldn't describe the feeling of their warm bodies being together. He didn't want to get up but he needed to. But still the feeling of their bodies was too good to leave so soon. He tight his hold around Kakarott and the man on his arms moaned a bit. Vegeta noticed that Goku's fever had went down and he could sleep the whole night because Ayana haven't cry.
~Vegeta's POV~
I felt movement in my arms. He got closer to me and grabbed my shirt with more strength. I caress his soft hair again and his purr was higher. Oh! How I love to hear it. It was so beautiful, relaxing and cute…. Cute? Yes… it was cute. I looked to his face. Awww I couldn't resist, he was so beautiful while sleeping. So angelical and relaxed.
His purring remembered me of a song my mother sang to me, she could not be the best example of a mother but she sang to me sometimes when I wasn't able to sleep.
I felt asleep again and I only woke up when I heard my daughter crying. Kakarott woke up almost when I had. His eyes take a long time to open but he did it.
-Vegeta…
-No worry, I can take care of this. Rest a bit more. She's not hungry.
-Okay…
He laid back again and looked at me. Some minutes later I put her again on her bed and went to my own. I smiled at him.
-Sleep well, Karo?
-Like a baby- his smile wider than before.
-Ready for a new day?
-I hope so.
I get near him and put my hand on his forehead. Another ray hit my head «What the hell was that?» He was not that hot, is my body so sensitive? Maybe… well I had no time to think of it. It is already 11am and I needed to prepare my wife's funeral. I wasn't happy with the idea of going to the castle but I had no choice. Kakarott would need to stay alone at home but he can take care of himself so it's not a big deal.
-Kakarott… I…
-Call me Karo…
-Huh?
-You called me Karo moments ago and I liked it.
-Okay Karo- I smiled at him- I need to go to… uhm… to the castle because of the funeral… but… I need to ask you… one thing… -I was afraid….
-Yes….?
-Would you mind if you stay here with Ayana? I don't think that the palace would be a safe place for both of us…
-Huh? Ah, yes, no worry, I stay, you don't need to worry about us- He smiled at me, he had been in the castle and he haven't enjoyed the short visits.
I smiled at him and kissed his forehead, I looked at him and he was blushing again. Why am I kissing him so much? I never felt affection for him and all of sudden I'm kissing him in the forehead… Oh, yeah, I just forgot he was sick yesterday, that's why I'm doing this, at least is what I think. Yeah, I'm right. I hope so… He is my friend.
I walked to my wardrobe and took a spandex and an armor. I walked to the bathroom and laid my clothes on a little table I had there. I undress myself and pull the shower curtains away, I walk in and closed the curtains again. I adjust the water and took a bath. I passed my hands trough my muscular chest and my belly. My muscles were big, but not too big. Kakarott had my height but his muscles were not as big as mines. Even that he was as strong as I am… there is no competition between us.
I let the warm water run down me, I washed myself and suddenly I hear my daughter crying again. I put a towel around my hips to cover my down parts. And I walked until the door, I opened it and Kakarott was already lifting Ayana in his arms.
-Is she hungry?
He jumped a bit, I must have scared him. He looked to me and his face turned completely red. He looked down to my daughter and put her head near his chest and then he spoke.
-Yes… she is…- he was completely red.
-Okay…
I closed the door again and lean my backs on the wall. What's happening to me? I went to the shower again and let cold water run down on me. I got out the shower and dry myself. I got dress. I get out of the bathroom. I looked to Kakarott, he was sat in a chair he had in my bedroom. I smiled.
-Well, I should go, it's already 12, I'll be back in 1hour or 1hour and half.
-Okay, I will make lunch for you to eat when you come back.
-Okay… see you later, Karo- he smiled as I called him with that name again
-See you, Geta…- I smiled, I didn't care of him calling me that, I like it.
I went down the stairs and get inside my car. I drive in direction of the castle. While I drive I stared at the post boys, with the news paper and yelling, I could understood what they said and their words made me sad.
-Extra, extra! The princess died while giving birth to our prince's son.
Son? Oh yeah, the population didn't know yet if it was girl or boy and they don't even know it's name. I continue driving to the castle. I saw the towers getting closer and closer, until I arrived it.
The guard opened the door for me. I saw them curving to me. I smile, they respect me. That's how it should be. My father always said that Kakarott was not a good company because he didn't show respect to me as a prince. How could he say that. Anyone but him had respect me so much, help me and save me. I find myself walk in the corridors until I get to the throne room. My father was talking to one of his servants. He saw me and said something to that servant and he got out of the room, letting us alone.
-My son! I'm very sorry for your lost. I think you came here because of the funeral isn't it?
-Yes, that's true.
-Very well. Then follow me.
I followed my father as he took me to his office, he sat down in one of the chair and gave me signal to sit down too. I sat down and looked at him.
-Do you want her to be buried in our family grave in his body or you want her body to be cremated.
-She said to me that, if she died she wanted to be cremated and that she would like her ashes to be thrown to the river.
-Oh, she did?
-Yes, she didn't know if she would survive to the labor so she said that to me when she started to have the contractions.
-I see very well, I will call he hospital and say that to them.
He grabbed the phone and called the hospital.
-Good morning *silence* Yes, it's me *silence* she will be cremated and her ashes would be thrown in the river * silence* Okay, I will wait *silence* Yes that's right *silence* Thanks- he put down phone making the call turn off.
-So…..? – I asked. It was a very fast conversation.
-Her wish is going to become true
For the first time in my life, my father helped me.
-When it's going to be the funeral?
-In two days.
-Okay. – I turned myself and then looked at him again- Thanks…
I smiled at him and he gave me a s smile back. I got out the castle and drive in direction to home. I get home at 1:45 pm, I was hungry… Kakarott said to me he would do something to eat. Can't wait to eat it.
I entered in my house. I heard noises from the kitchen. Kakarott must being having fun with my daughter to make her amused. I closed the door behind me and say that I was back. He said welcome to me and I went to the kitchen. He was in one of the chairs in front of the table. He was making tricks with his hands using his ki. My daughter was amazed and smiling moving her little hands trying to grab the flashes. When she was almost grabbing them Kakarott turn them off because she could burn her hand with it.
-So, how is everything?
-It's good, guess.
-When is the funeral?
-In two days
I sat down in the chair beside him, where my food was. I start to eat and he continued having fun with her. I smiled. It was good t see them happy. It really was good to see him smiling with Ayana. Maybe this is really going to work, I hope so… I don't want to lose him, I wouldn't be able to handle it. Not him or my daughter. Now I think. He's assuming a motherly place. He's an Alpha and he's feeding and taking care of my daughter, maybe, when she is going to be older she would call him mother. It's not bad at all, because from now on he would be a kind of "her mother". I smiled with that fact, it was okay if he would do it. I would thank him so much.
I looked at him while drinking some juice he served to me. It tasted good. I smiled.
-Karo?- he smiled as I called him again with that name.
-Yes?
-You are really okay of assuming a mother place to my daughter?
-Yes, I am, sooner or later I needed to be one…
-What do you mean?
-I mean… I am an Alpha, every one of us need to find a mate or have a child who was going to be his own child. I cannot be Ayana's mother but I'm not ready to be mated to someone, it's just one thing I cannot do now. I'm already 18, I needed to get a mate after my 28th anniversary. If I assume a paper as her mother I don't need to be mated to anyone so I can be free…
-Oh, I see. So you really prefer to not mate yet and take a mother paper to help me.
-Yes.
-It's good to hear that. I don't know how to thank you for caring so much about me
-As long as I can be by your side, I will be happy. I care a lot for you. You always helped me in the bad situations and you always said that I was the only one who really respected you and cared for you. If I can be special for you I will be happy. And after all you're special for me because you were the only one who supported me and the only one that accepted the fact that I was an Alpha. Anyone else accepted it.
-Why?
-Because it's so rare to exist an Alpha and the other Saiyans see it as a weird thing…- he was looking down, and I saw him close his eyes with strength trying to not cry.
I put one of my arms as push him to me leaning his head in my chest.
-Don't care about them. They are stupid and ignorant. Don't cry because of them. I don't like to see you crying. Tears don't suit you.
He smiled. I could feel it in my chest. I caress is hair. He laid Ayana in his lap and he grabbed my armor. I put a hand on his neck and made him closer to me. It feels warm when he is close to me. I can say he was not crying but he wanted me to comfort him. I know that his life was not the easy for him, is fathers disappear, even that they didn't love their children, they loved their parents.
Sometime later he let me go and smiled at me.
-Arigatô – Again that word, it made me feel so good when he say it.
-You're welcome.
-Hey. What about going to the park?
-It sounds good- if I went I would forget about her. And that's what I wanted in the moment.
~2 days later ~
I was in the church, the funeral was very big, there were a lot of people to say goodbye to the lost princess. Kakarott was holding my hand tight. It always helped me when he grabbed it when we were in bad or sad situations. I felt relaxed and protected. I didn't allow anyone to touch me but him. He was the only one who could go and touch in my heart. If he disappears my heart would break in two and stop beating. I don't know if he feels the same but I don't care. As he said: As long as I can be by your side, I will be happy. I really liked to hear that.
2 hours passed and the funeral end, the priest gave ,e a pot where the ashes of my wife were. I hold them and Kakarott had my daughter in his arms. He looked worried and I smiled to him. We went to my car and we drive until the river. More people were there. I got out of the car and Kakarott followed me. I had to do 2 things
1- Throw my wife' ashes to the river
2- Say to the population the name and the sex of my child.
I went to the edge of the river and opened the pot, I turned upside down and the ashes started to fall in the calm waters of the river and starting to disappear in the water. When all the ashes had fall I laid the pot on the ground and turned to the population.
Kakarott gave me my daughter and I hold her tight.
-As it was said, today I will say the name and the sex of my child
I heard a lot of people saying "it's a girl" or "it's a boy" I smiled
-It's a girl. She's healthy.
More people whispering.
-Now the name. First I need to thank to one people for helping me with the name. Kakarott come here. – he came to my side and he was blushing and biting is lower lip- If it wasn't him I couldn't rise my child. Thanks! Her name is Ayana.
I heard people whispering and then everyone clapped I grabbed Kakarott's hand and push him into my car and I drive until my home, not looking back or stopping.
We arrived soon. He was still blushing. We went to my house and I sited in the couch. I was breathing hardly. I can't take the moment when I throw her ashes to the river. Kakarott went to my bedroom and came back without my daughter in his arms, she was sleeping in her little bed.
I looked to him. His face turned from worried to shocked. He had never saw me with that looking in my eyes: lost.
-Vegeta…
-I-I'm okay, no worry- I tried to keep my tears in my eyes, I didn't want him to see me cry. I never let anyone see me crying, not even my mother or father. The only one was him. I felt a tear rolling down my face. It was all my fault.
I hear him running to me and sit in the couch beside me. He caressed my hair.
~Kakarott's POV~
I have never seen him crying. He was to proud and arrogant to let anyone see it. I ran to him when I saw a tear rolling down his check. I caress his hair like he do when I'm down. I put my hand on the back of his neck and made it closer to me. I embraced him. I hide my face on his shoulder and he did the same. Seeing him like that remembered me of when me and my brother cried because of the disappearance of our parents, when we knew about it we almost didn't sleep for days. Vegeta had even noticed that I was very distracted those days. I was sleepy and lazy and Geta knew I wasn't like that but I refuse to accept his help because I was afraid of his reaction.
I caressed his hair and leaned more into his shoulder. I felt safe when he embraced me. I hope he feel safe too…
-Shhhh… Don't cry… It's not your fault… Just… Just calm down… I… beg you…
I felt a tear rolling down my face. I don't like to see him like that. It break my heart. I didn't know completely why I was crying, I'm strong, if I'm trying to comfort someone I shouldn't cry, I should keep strong and hold myself, but I couldn't. I lift one of my hands until my face and dried the tear that fell from my eye.
He tight the grip around me making me blush again. What's happening to me? When he touches me I feel warm and safe, when he holds me I blush and when he kisses me I also blush. What's this feeling?
-Karo?
-Hm?
-I think we should move to another house. This one remembers me of her.- I think he stopped crying.
-If you think it would help.
-It would.
- As long as I can be by your side, I will be happy…and safe. I whispered the last part, not even he was able to hear it .I said that quote for the second time. I don't know why, but I feel like that. I wanted to be with him, to be his friend and see him in the last second of my life.
He was the one who understood me, the one who protected and teaches me how to see how life can be easy and hard, happy and sad, healthy and ill, calm and stressful, simple and mysterious. He always helped me with it.
-I will… I will – he said softly. I smiled
-Thanks… Geta…-I said not wanting to disturb him
-You're welcome… Karo- He called me like that again, I don't know why but I really like him to call me like that. It made me feel special, but that's only my imagination running wild… he only call me that because he call me once and asked him to keep calling me that. But at least he agreed.
I knew this would be a big journey. A lot of good and bad things would happen. I knew it wasn't going to be easy… his wife just died…. My parents disappear… Our life is not taking the easier road. But we can't write our destination in life, all we can do is living it keep looking forward… That's what I tried to do, and now, Vegeta need to think like that too, I hope, from the bottom of my heart, that everything went in good way once again. I remember the times when we first met, I was running from those people, they keep making fun of me because saying I was a third class, I was weak, I was small and inoffensive.
At least he understood me and we were prepared for this big change of our lifes.
~Flashback~
I was running, trying to make them away from me, I was only 8 years old, I haven't too much strength, I was a third class, lived in a small house with my parents and my big brother. I keep running making sudden curves. I saw grass and a big space and I ran on its direction. I ran in the grass and they lost me and I could hear them yelling.
-You fool! You can' t hide yourself forever!
I stayed quiet and climbed a tree for them to not notice me. I saw them fade away in the horizon. I jumped from the tree and walked in that big garden. I had never seen that place before. Where am I? I looked around, there was anyone near me. I laid in the grass looking to the sky letting my imagination running wild. Would I ever be strong? I will prove them I can be strong. Even and third class can beat anyone if works hard… I think… My mom always said that to me. I heard steps and I got up very fast preparing to run. I looked around but I didn't saw anyone.
-Who are you and what do you want from me?
The sound of steps was louder. I yelled my questions once again.
-Who I am? It's tragic to know you don't know who I am, also I don't want anything from you.
I looked around and saw a shadow in the back of a tree I step very silently and slowly.
-You don't want anything form me for? For real?
-Why the hell would I want?
-I don't know, a lot of people come after me because of who I am…
-Who are you?
-If you looked at me you would know almost automatically.
-Hmmm… show me yourself.
I walked to the tree. But suddenly I stopped. I was a total mess.
-A-Are you sure?
-Yes I am!- He said roughly.
I walked and turned to him. I was looking back, for not to see his reaction.
-Wow. You're a total mess, what the heck happened to you?
-I…well…
I looked up, looking on his eyes, they catch mine immediately.
-You…You're… You're Prince Vegeta! – I step back, fear in my eyes.
-So… you're Bardock's son… People are right, you look like him.
I keep stepping back and he stepped in my direction. He was taller than me, he had a smirk on his face. It was obvious, he was going to make fun of me. I got my foot caught in a strange thing and feel back. I hit my head hard in the ground a crack it open. I saw everything blurry.
-Hey, don't faint just now.
I noticed he took something out of his bag and put it around my head, I closed my eyes. The pain was too much and I felt dizzy.
-I said to you to not faint.
-I'm… still awake…
He lift me in the arms and carry me to somewhere else. I didn't know where. I heard voices and more voices, doors being open and closed and then everything went quiet and he laid me in something very soft and warm. Sometime later he broke the silence that was in the air
-How do you feel?
-Not very good… - my voice was so weak. How could I show myself like this to the prince .I felt so ashamed, I just wanted to die in that moment.
-You must rest.
-Okay…- I closed my eyes and almost immediately I feel asleep. I felt so tired. I only woke up when I felt something very bright coming in direction to my face. I squirm and cover my face. Immediately I got up with the pain that hit my head. I looked around, anyone was in the room but I hear the shower. I knock at the door and I hear him talk. I sat in the bed waiting for him. Some minutes later e came out and looked at me and then smiled.
-I see you're feeling better.
-Yeah, I think so.
-So, you are Bardock's son?
-I would be lying if I said no….
-Hmmm, I see, your life it's not good when you are born a third class… But I saw when you ran away from that boys and I saw that you had some kind of high power. Higher than the all the other third class.
-I think you know my brother… Raditz, he works here in the castle as the Kind's servant.
-Hmmm, it's true, I know him, so you're his little brother. Isn't your brother too young to work.
-Third class saiyans are born to work all his life…My parents hided me until I was 6 for them to not buy me and Raditz took my place as a soldier.
-Hmmm, I see. I think you better go, your father may be worried about you.
-Yeah, I think so…See you!
-Ok. See you.
He smiled, I never heard people saying the prince smiled.
-And… Thanks for taking care of me, your majesty.
-You're welcome.
I ran in the palace and went I direction to home.
~Flashback ends~
Since that day, me and Vegeta found each other in that big green area that he once found me and helped me.
I remember that day like it was yesterday but 10 years had already passed in the front of our eyes and now I'm living with him, he has a child and I hope everything will be okay.
-Karo… Tomorrow I will take care of the new house okay?
-As you wish
-Karo.
-Yes?
-Do you worry about me this much?
-Well… I would be lying if I said that I didn't. After all, you stayed always by my side, helped me and even save my life in the first day we met, what could I do to thank you? Right now, you and my brother are the most important people to me.
-Thanks, you really are a good friend.- I blushed with his words.
-Thanks…
He looked at me. His eyes full of happiness once again. I smiled. He got up and I looked at the clock… 8 pm
-Geta… I think I'm going to make dinner.
-Okay but don't forget one thing.
-Forget what? Don't you like my food?
-It's not that silly. I like your food… Just, don't forget to never hide that smile you have. Sadness and worry don' fit you okay?
-Okay… But, HEY! You were the one who was crying.
-I could feel your tear drop and I felt how your body was shaking and I also saw he sadness and the worry in your eyes. Just don't forget to smile. Remember the advice your brother gave you.
-Okay, I will keep that in mind.
-Ah! And one thing more. Don't stop call me Geta.
I blushed. After all, he liked me to call him Geta. I nodded but still blushing I could see he had a funny smirk on his lips. He went upstairs and I couldn't keep my mind clear because I was so happy. He always cared about me and he never stops worrying.
A few minutes later he came down, we ate our food, I feed Ayana and then we went to sleep. We slept embraced in each other and in some kind of way it felt good. It was different, and a ray hit my head when I felt the warmth of his body. If I could feel it forever, Oh! How I would be happy.
What the hell am I thinking? He is my best friend…and I'm not prepared for this… Maybe this is only because of my headache, this day was a long day and right now I wanted to rest, and feel safe like I always feel when he is by my side.
This was a beginning of a new adventure in life.
The beginning of the journey that will change us forever!
So i hope you like it and on't forget to leave a review for me to know wat you think of the fic and... taht kind of stuff
See you later.
Kiss
