Because I Love You Chapter Two
"Your majesty, you will not come?" Bardock couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"Bardock, you must understand that if I go with you to retrieve my son, it will just make the situation worse, and that is something we can't afford to happen. Please, Bardock, take someone else, because if I go, I'll just end up breaking down in tears of sadness and rage, I'll just slow you down..." King Vegeta said quietly. By the way the King spoke, Bardock could tell that he was desperate to see his son again.
"Alright my King, it won't be long until Prince Vegeta is returned to us..." Bardock said as he bowed to his 'previous' ruler. And with that, Bardock left for the dungeons.
The dungeons were dark and smelt putrid, Bardock could hardly stand it. Walking down the cold stone steps, he stopped and turned back.
"Hurry it up, Kakarotto, come on!" Bardock called to his young son, and sure enough, a small boy with hair like his Father's stepped out of the shadows. "Do you want to help me save Vegeta-sei, or not?" Bardock was getting impatient. When Kakarotto didn't reply, Bardock huffed. "If you're not going to help, then go back home to your Mother, tell her that I'll be home shortly..."
When his Father left, Kakarotto felt very alone, however, he wasn't scared. 'I'll prove to my Father that I'm not afraid...I'm a Saiyan and maybe I should start acting like one...' he thought to himself.
With his Father gone, Kakarotto began to sneak around the dungeons, which was quite fun, until he heard a noise... Kakarotto walked further down the dungeon walk-way until he reached one of the cells. Looking through the tinted glass, Kakarotto saw a small figure. Prince Vegeta was leaned limp up against the back wall of his holding cell. Tapping the glass, Vegeta woke up.
"Oh thank, Kami...you're not dead...!" Kakarotto said. Vegeta tried to stand up, but he was so weak from hunger, that he collapsed back down again. "Oh no, don't move...!" Kakarotto told the prince.
"W-who do you think you are, telling me what to do...?" Vegeta, although he was weak, sounded pissed. "I-I'm the prince...and I will n-not be ordered around...by a lower class...!" Kakarotto was hurt by this and then spoke up.
"What, lower class? Look, I've come here to save you, but if you're going to be rude then I'll just go!" Kakarotto said and began walking away.
"N-no wait, please...!" Kakarotto turned to see that the prince had managed to stand at last. "Please...h-help me...don't leave me...!"
