Alright another chapter for you guys! This is just a cute little thing that came to me and would not leave me alone until I wrote it down. Warning! People are OOC in this chapter!
Gohan tiptoed through the halls towards the garden; he had plans to meet up with Videl before leaving for the day with his father, grandfather and uncle. Opening the door he glanced around to make sure that he wasn't being followed before entering the garden where Videl was waiting. Smiling he walked over to where she was sitting. When she noticed him Videl broke out into a huge smile and stood, she was about to wish him a good morning but was silenced when his mouth claimed hers. Videl froze, a little unsure about what was going on, but soon her arms snaked their way around his neck, pulling him close and kissing him back.
Kaida was mediating behind the tree in the garden when she was interrupted by someone entering the garden and sitting on the bench. Looking around the tree she saw her brother and Videl doing something weird with their lips. What the hell are they doing? Must be some weird earth custom. Getting up she walked back into the house to make breakfast for everyone. Once breakfast was done Bardock, Raditz, Goku and Gohan left for some male bonding time. She wasn't sure what that meant but she knew that she wanted no part in whatever it was.
Bulma, Videl and Chi-Chi followed Trunks and Goten into the sitting room, looking forward to a quite day without the four men around. Raditz had shown Trunks and Goten his gaming system and gave them permission to play it while he was gone, so the boys ran straight to the TV and turned on the system. "Keep it down you two," a voice came from the back of the room which was followed by another laughing. "Ya Raditz would be pissed if we blew up his new system." Trunks and Goten turned to look where the voices came from to find Vegeta and Geta sitting on either side of a small table covered with different coloured pieces. Trunks ran over and grabbed the edge of the table, "Hey Dad, what 'ca doing?" Vegeta looked down at his son and grinned, "It's called Senso and it's a war strategy game. You could say it's similar to chess, only much more complicated." A hand reached over Trunks' head and moved one of Vegeta's pieces on the board causing Geta to swear. /"Especially when you haven't played in a while hey DehDeh,"/ Kaida laughed, /"you need to watch your general, Geta's foot soldier could have taken it out in one move."/ Shaking her head Kaida walked over to one of the book shelves, grabbed a book and sauntered over to the large couch. Opening the book she jumped landed hard on the couch then swung her legs so her feet rested on the top of the couch.
"Kaida," Chi-Chi scolded, "feet do not belong on the furniture." Kaida rolled her eyes at her mother and mumbled some thing to herself. Chi-Chi was shocked she had never been ignored like that. She was about to start yelling at Kaida but was stopped by movement from the back of the room. Vegeta quietly got up from his chair, walked over to where Kaida lounged on the couch, grabbed her ear and continued walking out of the room with Kaida in tow. The women watched with curiosity as Vegeta pulled Kaida out of the room, closing the door behind him. They could hear Vegeta yelling but couldn't make out what he was saying through the walls.
It wasn't long before Vegeta came back into the room and went back to his game. Bulma noticed a smear of something red on his right glove as he moved one of his pieces. Turning she saw Kaida out in the hall and her nose was all bloody. Once she had cleaned up her face Kaida returned to the room walking strait to Chi-Chi, she dipped into a shallow curtsy, "my apologies Lady Mother." Kaida turned and plopped back down on the couch, feet back on top of the couch, and went back to reading her book. Chi-Chi was about to say something about her feet but was silenced by a look from Vegeta. Instead Chi-Chi went and found a recipe book to read. Bulma and Videl decided to follow suit, each finding a book and settling down to read.
/Trunks and Goten were bored. They had beaten every game that Raditz had and now there was nothing to do. Trunks looked over to where his father and brother were playing Senso. He nudged Goten and nodded in their direction. Goten smiled and the two boys headed to the back of the room where their elders were playing. "You wanna learn how to play there little brother?" Geta asked seeing Trunks' interest. Trunks looked up at his brother and nodded; laughing Geta pushed his chair back a little, picked up his brother and sat him down in his lap. Goten stood as close to the game table as he dared standing on his tip toes to see what was going on. Leaning forward Goten lost his balance and would have fallen into the table if a hand had not grabbed his collar and lifted him up placing him on a lap; turning around Goten was shocked when he realized his was sitting on Vegeta's lap."Pay attention brat."/
An hour and a half later Vegeta and Goten had beaten Geta and Trunks. Goten jumped off Vegeta's lap, "Awesome, we won! Wohoo take that Trunks!" Vegeta laughed at Goten's excitement. Deciding that this was as good a time as any Goten gathered his courage and approached Vegeta, "Umm...Mr. Vegeta sir? I was wondering...would it be possible...umm," Goten closed his eyes and lowered his head then blurted out, "couldyouteachmetoplaytheguitar?" Vegeta looked at the young boy, he knew the child feared him and never asked for something frivolous, so he knew that this was important to the child. "So you were spying on us were you?" Goten's face dropped as he nodded. Vegeta looked at his elder son who smirked and shrugged his shoulders. Smiling Vegeta looked across the room, "Kaida." She looked up from her book, nodded and walked out of the room. She returned moments later carrying a large case in each hand and one with her tail. She handed one case to Vegeta and the other to Geta and took the last case over to the couch.
Vegeta opened the case and looked at his younger son, /"What about you boy, do you want to learn how to play guitar?" Trunks smiled at his father, "I want to know how to play the one Geta plays. It's different than yours right Dad?" Geta answered, "Ya. Dad plays guitar while I play bass guitar. I'll teach you if you want munchkin."
"That would be so awesome!" Geta pulled out his guitar and plugged it into a small amp. "Hey Kaida, you want to...never mind." The others looked over at Kaida and laughed. She was sitting on the couch...kind of. Her feet, once again, were on the top of the couch while her head was hanging over the edge of the cushions. Her guitar was plugged into a small amp that had a set of headphones attached which were firmly placed over her ears while she played, her tail thumping against the couch keeping time.
Vegeta shook his head at her then patted his leg, "alright brat, get up here if you want to learn." Goten jumped up onto the prince's lap too excited to care about anything else. Vegeta pulled his guitar up, placing it across both of their laps and started teaching Goten. The three earthling women weren't sure what was going on. They figured the Saiyans had either forgotten they were there or didn't care, either way they decided it was better if they just stayed quiet./
It was late afternoon when Bardock returned with his sons and grandson. It had been a good day of male Saiyan bonding. His sons had grown closer and he had gotten to know his grandson better. They were laughing over a joke Raditz was telling when they heard something. "What is that?' Goku asked. "It sounds like guitars," Raditz answered, "come on, let's find out what's going on." The four Saiyans followed the noise to the sitting room. Goku froze in the doorway, unable to believe his eyes. His son was sitting in Vegeta's lap playing a guitar. What was Goten, his son, doing sitting in Vegeta's lap? This is Vegeta we're talking about here. "What the hell?" Gohan laughed at his father's reaction. Granted it was a little odd seeing Goten and Vegeta like that but then over the last seven years he had gotten used to odd things from Vegeta. "It's ok Dad. It may be a little off putting, but Vegeta's been there for us while you were gone." Goku looked at his son curiously. Gohan shrugged, "he helped me get through puberty and he's helped out a lot with Goten. He's kinda like a fatherly uncle to us." Goku nodded slowly, "Well I guess that makes sense."
"Are you two going to stand there all day or are you going in?" Bardock asked, "some of us would like to sit down and relax." Gohan sighed as he pushed his father into the room. Goten looked up as he sensed his father and brother, "Hey Daddy, check out what I can do." Goten played a few cords for his family. Vegeta shook his head, "why don't you really show them what you've learned?" he looked up at the four standing, "one of you unplug Kaida's headphones for me." Shrugging Gohan wandered over to where Kaida was hanging off the couch and pulled the plug on her headphones. "What the fuck Gohan?" her twin just pointed over to Vegeta who had taken control of the guitar from Goten, "you're not quite ready for the beginning brat. Kaida play Wish You Were Here [Pink Floyd]."
Nodding Kaida began playing; she was soon joined by Vegeta playing the difficult part. Everyone was absolutely silent as the two played. Soon Vegeta allowed Goten to take over playing, and they were surprised when Kaida began singing. "So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain. / Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? / A smile from a veil? / Do you think you can tell?" Kaida closed her eyes and allowed her tail to sway, "Did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? / Hot ashes for trees? / Hot air for a cool breeze? / Cold comfort for change? / Did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?" Kaida took over the difficult part, allowing Goten to continue playing the easier part. "How I wish, how I wish you were here. / We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, / Running over the same old ground. / What have we found? / The same old fears. / Wish you were here."
When the song was finished everyone remained silent. It was Bulma who finally broke the silence a minute later, "that's amazing Goten. How are you so good at that, I mean you just started learning today...right?" Goten nodded. Bulma looked at her son, "what about you Trunks have you gotten this good as well?" Trunks answered her by playing the beginning of a song on Geta's guitar [Money Pink Floyd]. "Well I guess that's a yes then. How the hell did you two catch on so quickly?" Vegeta laughed at his mate's confusion, "Saiyans are extremely gifted when it comes to music, some more than others, but all Saiyans have a talent for it...even Kakarot."
No I don't know what counts as Sayian male bonding, but it would be extreme, only meant for adults and probably more than a little violent lol.
Also I am suffering from a pretty bad case of writers block, I do have a couple of chapters already written but once those are put up, it might be a while before I can update again. It is surprising how negative and mean reviews, mostly from guests affect ones ability/desire to write.
