Vegeta growled. Nappa was late. He walked up to the elite's door to hear him snoring, then snarled. He was going to have to go and train by himself.
The prince walked by Raditz's room, hearing the third-class snoring away. He rolled his eyes. Of course, he wasn't going to get anything out of him either.
Figuring that he might as well give up, the prince left their quarters and headed down the hall. No one was usually out this early, so it meant that he could train by himself.
Vegeta walked in to the training room, seeing the vials filled with saibamen. He took one then walked into the main room, only to stop in place. Why was Kakara here?
He watched for a second as she began to show her son how to throw a punch and a grin came to his face. "I didn't think anyone else would be up this early."
Gokin jumped and turned around finding Vegeta staring at her. "I…I usually get up this early to train." She knew that Chico hated that about her. He always complained that she wasn't making his breakfast before work.
Vegeta looked down at the boy. "His form is good. How long has he been training?"
She looked down. "I…I just started." She looked up, finding the prince staring at her in confusion. "My husband didn't approve of training him." She didn't want to talk about Chico right now.
Vegeta growled. "And you just let him do that?" He stilled his anger as he watched her look back down at her son.
"Chico does a lot for us. He works all day…so I should be a better wife and do what he wants…" Gokin started. She didn't need to be telling the prince about her life back on Earth.
The prince grabbed her arm, spinning her around. "You're a saiyan. If he can't accept that, then what good is he?"
"He's all I had." She felt herself melting under the prince's gaze. "But…while I'm here…I thought I would break the rules a bit."
Vegeta smirked. "So, you wanted to train the boy the entire time?" Now that was interesting. "Do you know what his power level is?"
Gokin have him a puzzled look. "What does that mean?" She really had no idea what he was talking about.
The prince sighed, letting her go and picking up a scouter. "This device can read the current power that you can use." He put it on then started the scanner. He figured that it would be low on the boy and it was. "It's going to take a lot of training to get him up to par."
Gokin nodded. "Well, he's only a child." She froze as he used the same scanner on her. He frowned. "What?"
"You're below your idiot of a brother." Vegeta knew that he was right to stay away. With a power level like that, there was no chance of him pursuing her.
Gokin sighed. "Well, I was the strongest person on Earth." She looked around the room. "That means I'm just going to have to work at it."
The prince was surprised by her attitude. Nappa and Raditz were sleeping away with higher levels, but she was the only one trying to get better. "I guess you can watch me for a while."
"What is your power level?" Gokin couldn't help but ask.
He smirked, now was the time to brag. "You were about 500. Mine is 18,000." He chuckled at the look on her face.
"How much training did you have to get that strong?" Gokin asked.
The prince grinned. "I'm a prodigy. I've just always been strong."
"But you couldn't have been that strong as a child," she said, feeling skeptical. There was no way that this guy was born that strong.
"I've grown stronger, but I've always been in the thousand range." He stared at her, noticing how interested she seemed. "How about a spar?" He needed to see how she performed; after all she may have a trick up her sleeve.
Gokin smiled back at him, getting into a fighting pose. "Bring it."
The prince felt a twinge of excitement. No one tried to come after him. He was just too powerful. But this woman… he really didn't know what she was going to do next. He noted that her pose was different from his. He had to wonder what kind of training she had. Both of them were waiting for the other to make the first move, which for the prince was refreshing. Usually Nappa or Raditz would make the first move. She was reading his movements. Interesting. "So, Kakara, are you going to move?"
She grinned at him. "I don't know what you have. Knowing what I know about your power, it would be foolish of me to run into anything blind."
The prince chuckled. "You do have a point." He finally chose to make the first move, only to be surprised at how fast she was able to dodge it. "You've had some formal training."
She moved downward, swiping at his feet, only for him to jump over her foot. "I had to. It was the only way to survive." He moved around, adjusting his speed so that he was at her back. He grabbed her arm, only for her to wheel around and punch him in the face. The prince didn't even flinch.
Gokin tried to get him to release her arm, but instead, he pulled her closer so that he could jab his knee into her gut. But as he did so, she slid her feet down, making her go between his legs, forcing him to let go of her. "You have good instincts."
"I learned from the best." While on the floor, she took the opportunity to swipe at his feet again, this time getting his foot and tripping him up.
She pounced on him, only for him to grab her arms and flip them. He thought about punching her for a second, then froze as he realized what position they were in. He was lying on top of her, with her legs opened beneath him, so that he was settled between her legs. The prince stared down, staring at her breasts as they almost popped out of her strange shirt. Those large black eyes were staring at up at him. His hands went weak on her for just a second, giving her an opening.
Gokin pulled her arm out, landing a punch to the nose. She stared up at him in shock as he didn't flinch, but then smiled at him. "Looks like I got first blood."
Vegeta moved his hand up to find that his nose was bleeding. It was shocking really. The only person that had been able to make him bleed like that was Frieza. "It seems you have."
Gokin looked up at him, if she didn't think he was nice to look at before, it was nothing compared to now. He looked kind of proud that she was able to do something like that. She felt warm, then turned red. "Vegeta…"
"Yes?" The prince asked as he looked down at her beautiful form.
"Can you get off of me?" Gokin asked, only to giggle as he turned red. He got off of her quickly and moved to grab the scouter. He wondered how much her power level had increased.
Just as he was about to get a reading, Dodoria came in and spotted the boy. "What do you have here? A fresh monkey?"
Vegeta prepared to make an explanation as the giant purple alien grabbed the boy off the floor. Kakara moved forward, but he used his arm to stop her. He knew that Dodoria had the ability to kill the boy in one hit. "Don't try it."
"But Gohan…" she began, feeling her maternal instincts kicking in.
"If you go to him now, that monster will pick him off to make you suffer," Vegeta warned her.
Instead of crouching behind him, she continued to push forward, which ended up getting Dodoria's attention. "So, this runt means something to you?" the alien sneered.
"Gohan…" She called out to her son, wanting him safely in her arms.
Dodoria grinned then stared at Gohan. "How about I return him in pieces?"
"Let him go, Dodoria!" Vegeta snapped.
The alien chuckled darkly. "And what are you going to do about it?" Dodoria grinned at the child as he thought over what he should remove first.
Gohan on the other hand, had grown restless. He looked over at his mother, finding her distraught and it looked like the guy that had done it was the one holding him. The boy glared up at the alien before striking forward, giving the alien a headbutt.
Dodoria dropped the child, then stared down at him in anger. "You'll regret that!" The alien ran forward to grab the boy, only for Gohan to jump up and grab his head. In a matter of seconds, it had been ripped off and was rolling along the floor.
"That's for scaring mommy!" Gohan chastised the head.
Gokin ran forward, grabbing her son off of the floor in a panic. Sure, she had just seen her son decapitate a man, but that was the last thing she was worried about right now. "Honey, are you hurt?" She started to look over him for any cuts or scrapes.
Meanwhile, Vegeta turned on the scouter to discover that both of their power levels had shifted. Kakara was now around 900, while the boy was sitting at 1200. He couldn't believe the amount of growth the two had experienced in just a couple of hours. Then there was the fact that Dodoria was lying dead on the floor. The boy had known what to do on instinct alone. There were the makings of a great fighter in him, as well as his mother.
Vegeta stared at Kakara as he removed the scouter. If he didn't know before, he knew it now. He was going to bed her. She could produce an heir for him that could be of use. Now all he had to do was seduce her. He smirked to himself. He bet that he could get in her pants within a month if he really tried. Hell, he could probably get more than one heir out of her.
His stomach grumbled, pulling him away from his thoughts. "I bet the boy his hungry."
Gohan twisted in his mother's arms. "I'm starving, Mommy."
She giggled down at her son. "Fine, why don't we go get something from that mess hall."
"I think I'll join you…if you don't mind," Vegeta said. If he sounded nervous, he could get her to open up to him. If she opened up to him, he could get what he wanted.
"I don't see why not," Gokin began. "I will warn you, I do eat a lot."
Vegeta smirked. "What saiyan doesn't?"
The two continued to talk as they walked down the hall. The prince's stomach growled once more, making her laugh. "I think you were the one that was really hungry, Vegeta."
He turned red, but said nothing else on the way to the mess hall.
Nappa growled as he looked around the common room. "You really think she ran off?" the elite snapped at the third-class.
"I did kidnap her. She and the boy could be anywhere." Raditz didn't like this. The idea of Kakara running around base was not that appealing to him. She could have run into anyone and the last thing he wanted was for her to be a target.
Nappa sighed. It looked like he wasn't going to get to touch her after all. He was hoping to sleep in and get her after Vegeta left, but by the time he had gotten up, she and the brat were already missing. "I'll talk to Vegeta when he gets back. He's not going to like this," Nappa started as the door opened.
Raditz was about to speak as his sister walked in with Vegeta…but strangely enough, the prince was holding his nephew.
"The boy has potential. We should increase his training from now on," Vegeta stated.
Gokin sighed. "But he just started, Vegeta. I don't think he's ready yet."
The prince looked at the boy in his arms. "What do you think, Brat? Was Dodoria really a challenge?"
Gohan shook his head. "He was a weakling, Mr. Vegeta."
The prince began to laugh. "See, Kakara? The boy wants it."
Gokin felt herself smile. It was actually nice to see her son wanting to train. "I guess it's fine…as long as I get to have some training time for myself."
"Then meet me here in the common room every morning. I can take you to the training room and we can train the boy…then get in some sparing for ourselves," Vegeta said, not paying attention to the watching eyes of Nappa and Raditz.
Gokin giggled. "So, you want another bloody nose, Vegeta?"
"You won't get lucky next time," the prince challenged. His body was all fired up for some reason.
"We'll see about that," Gokin said as he put Gohan down. She looked down at her Gi. It was pretty tattered up. "It looks like I'm going to need some new clothes."
"I'll call someone to take your measurements," the prince answered as she walked away.
Nappa was frowning. This wasn't like Vegeta at all. The prince praised no one. What the hell was going on? She was a third-class; meant to be breeding stock. There was no reason for Vegeta to be so friendly with her. He had to stop this from happening. There was no way that the prince of all saiyans was going to fall for a third-class like her.
Meanwhile, Raditz wasn't frowning. He was smirking. He didn't think she had it in her. She had impressed the prince… and from the look of it, Vegeta had taken a liking to her. If only their parents could see this. The day a third—class saiyan mated with a member of the royal family.
He stared at Nappa, seeing the other's anger. This wasn't going to be easy. So, he would help his sister in any way that he could. He knew what was on the line if he didn't.
