Gokin woke up early. She had plenty planned for today. Gohan was still asleep, so she thought that it would be okay to let him sleep in for once. Raditz could bring him by to train.
She looked over her new clothes with a bit of a glare. Gokin wasn't sure about how tight fitting they looked. Something about putting on the armor felt odd, but she really didn't have anything else to wear. If only her Gi wasn't damaged.
She got dressed, looking over herself in the mirror. It just didn't look right. "I guess I'll get used to it," she said to herself before exiting the room. As soon as she was out, Gokin spotted Vegeta sitting on the couch. It looked like he was waiting for her. "Sorry I'm late, I was just trying to get these clothes on.
The prince didn't say anything though. He only stared. Gokin looked away in embarrassment as Vegeta stood up. "You look like a proper saiyan now…"
"Not entirely…I still don't have a tail," Gokin answered, feeling herself going red. She did miss her tail and felt jealous of the others for having them.
"That can be arranged," the prince said, crossing his arms. "It would make our sparring matches a little more interesting."
"Why would you say that?" Gokin wondered what he was talking about. She thought that their sparring matches were interesting. Was he saying that she wasn't good enough?
Vegeta face-palmed. "You know nothing about the Ozzaru form, do you?" He could see her scratching her head, then he sighed. "So, you never walked under a full moon on Earth?"
Gokin's eyes went wide. "I have. I don't see what's so…"
"I'm talking about walking under it when you had your tail, Kakara," Vegeta grumbled, maybe siring a child with her was a bad idea.
"Oh, that. My grandfather just told me to stay inside at night." Gokin giggled at the look on the prince's face. "What? He told me that there was a monster outside. Eventually, that monster killed him." Her voice became sad as she thought about Grandpa Gohan.
Vegeta suddenly realized what she was talking about… The prince didn't know why, but he decided it was best to keep his mouth shut. He didn't want to be the one that gave her the news. "What was the old man's name?"
"Oh, I named my son after him," Gokin said, noticing a change in the prince's features. There was something going on, but she wasn't sure if she wanted to know what it was. "Why are you asking me all of this?"
"Curiosity." The prince answered before standing up. "We need to get going."
Gokin nodded as one of the doors opened. She knew it was the bald man's, but stopped as a strange looking female came out. It was almost like looking into a mirror, only this woman was taller than she was with longer hair. "Umm…"
Nappa walked forward with a grin, last night had been a blast. But now he was looking at Kakara. She didn't look too happy to see him. After today, she better get used to him as Turly would be taking her place. "Vegeta, I introduced you to Turly last night."
Vegeta nodded, glaring up at the woman. The last thing that he wanted was Nappa's sloppy seconds. His eyes looked over at Kakara, only to discover how unnerved she looked. "Let's go train."
Gokin almost jumped at his request, then nodded. She just wanted to get away from Nappa. His stares terrified her. Gokin didn't have time to think as Vegeta grabbed her arm and pulled her into the hall. She took a deep breath, before looking at the prince. His eyes looked into hers, asking her what was wrong. "The bald one frightens me…" She looked away. "I have to get stronger." She planned to walk off, but the prince held her there. She wondered what he was doing as he leaned forward, sniffing at her neck.
Vegeta growled. There was something about Kakara's fear that angered him. If someone like her was scared of Nappa, then he would have to keep his eye on the other elite. The prince had already told Nappa to keep his hands off of Kakara, it would take everything in his power to hold back. The prince did have to commend her on wanting to get stronger. She didn't want to be a victim. "We're going to do some intense training today."
"So, you're going to go all out?" Gokin asked, she still wondered who that other woman was. She had a name, but that told her nothing. "Vegeta, about that woman…"
"Oh, Turly?" Vegeta scoffed. "I think she's Nappa's." The prince knew better. He could see what the elite was trying to do, but he wasn't going to fall for that. Turly may have been a first class, but her smell was all wrong. She gave herself to Nappa so easily…and from what he could tell from her frame, she wasn't a fighter. No matter what the class, having a weak mate would do nothing for his future offspring. His eyes landed on Kakara, she was coming along nicely. He would have to try to seduce her soon.
Gokin was about to walk into the training room, but stopped as she sensed someone inside. "Vegeta…is there anyone stronger than that purple blob?"
The prince looked back at her. "What are you talking about?" He noticed that she looked serious as she looked at the door.
"In the training room," she began. "Someone stronger is in there."
The prince shook his head, then took her hand without thinking about it. He opened the door, only to find Frieza standing in the middle of the room. The prince was shocked, but at the same time he was worried. Did Frieza know about Kakara and Turly? "I didn't expect you to find more of your kind," the alien said, turning around.
Gokin stared at the strange alien. The man was hiding something. She could sense it. Before she could say anything though, Vegeta moved in front of her. "Neither did I." His voice stayed stern as he felt the need to protect her.
"How fortunate that they would be females," Frieza said walking forward with a dark look in his eye. "I see you have chosen one."
Gokin turned red, then looked at the back of the prince's head. She could see that his ears were red. Gokin pondered the idea of Vegeta liking her. It was strange, she had never felt this warm before. Did this mean that she liked the prince? He had been nothing but kind since they met. Her eyes went back to the alien and she couldn't stop herself as she spoke. "You're hiding something."
The frost demon's smirk faded. "And what do I have to hide?"
Vegeta looked back at Kakara and mentally cursed. Why did she have to say anything? "Your power is larger than what you're showing right now," Gokin answered. The prince froze at that. He had heard the rumors. Frieza was said to have multiple forms. Did this mean that was true?
The frost demon's smirk returned. "You have good senses for a woman." Frieza walked by them and out the door. "It seemed that you have found yourself a prize, Vegeta. I would take better care of it in the future." With that the evil lord was gone.
Vegeta breathed a sigh of relief, he was about to go after her for talking to someone like Frieza, but he was far too curious. "What did you do?"
"I just sensed his Ki," Gokin said, seeing the confusion on Vegeta's face. "Don't you know what Ki is?"
Vegeta shook his head. "Enlighten me."
Gokin giggled. "Well, Ki is your life force. I think that power level thing you were talking about is connected to it. The larger your Ki, the more powerful you are."
The prince thought that over. It was an interesting concept. "And you can sense this Ki?"
"I had to go through some basic training to do it, almost all of my friends back on Earth can do it as well," Gokin said, then got sad. She missed Krillin and Bulma.
The prince walked up to her, he didn't like how sad her face looked. "You wish to go back there."
"It's still my home," Gokin answered.
"We could always stop there sometime." The prince kind of wanted to see what this Earth looked like.
She had moved closer. "I would like that."
"You could show me how to use that Ki thing," Vegeta said, leaning into her. They were barely an inch apart.
"Yes…I could…" She whispered, as her eyes began to close. Gokin didn't understand what was going on, but she wanted him close to her. There was a new ache going through her body. It was almost like instincts were taking over, her jaw was hurting.
Vegeta growled low in his throat as his tail flicked back and forth, heat was beginning to run through him as he wanted nothing more than to take her here and now. "You…you smell good," he said, smelling his musk and her scent. The two of them were mingling in the most wonderful way.
"So do you…" Gokin stated, then jumped as the door opened once more. She looked over, finding the rest of the saiyans standing there, including her son. "I didn't expect you up this early!"
The prince growled. He had been very close. His arms had been ready to wrap around her, so that he could pull her into the kiss he desperately wanted. But that wasn't going to happen now. Vegeta sent a glare at the new arrivals.
Turly walked forward, keeping her head high as she walked by Gokin. "So, you really are one to overstep your bounds."
Gokin glared up at her. "You don't even know me."
Turly laughed as Nappa walked over to Vegeta. Raditz looked between the new female and the elite. He could see what they were planning and didn't like it one bit. But there was nothing he could do, except train with Gohan. His nephew was already able to overpower him, so it was time for him to improve.
The prince looked up at the giant elite. "There will be no messing around. This room is for training, I expect you and your mate to train like the rest of us."
Nappa frowned. "Turly isn't my mate. She's just a first class that I happened to run into."
Vegeta rolled his eyes. "Like that really matters." He was pissed. Kakara had agreed to show him how to sense this Ki thing. Of course, they had been really close to kissing. He could still smell that woody smell of hers, it fit together with his smoky smell perfectly.
"She could provide you with a quality heir," Nappa said, looking down at the prince.
Vegeta wasn't looking at the elite though. His eyes were now on Kakara's son. Gohan's power was growing with each passing day. From everything he saw, Kakara's linage was very promising.
Turly giggled. "It's a shame really. Vegeta's going to choose me as his mate."
Gokin felt like she had been smacked in the face, then remembered something. "You don't even know him."
"He's a prince and I'm a first class. There isn't anything else needed," Turly bragged. "You'll be given to Nappa of course."
Gokin snarled. Like she was going to let that bald man touch her. "Says the girl that's already touched that creep."
"Nappa is an elite. You should feel proud that he's willing to take a pile of trash like you." Turly laughed only to scream seconds later.
Gokin had heard enough and in her anger, she pounced. Turly tried to fight back, but Gokin had her pinned more than once. The third class had punched the first class with almost all of her power. She could feel herself being pulled away. Gokin continued to snarl at Turly as Nappa ran over to lift the first class off the ground. The elite glared at her. "Vegeta, Kakara needs to learn her place."
Gokin looked back to find that Vegeta had pulled her off of Turly. The prince looked mad. She felt her heart sink. Was this the way it really was? She would rather go back to Chico than have that creep touch her. She pulled herself out of Vegeta's grasp. Now that she knew his intentions with Turly, she didn't want him anywhere near her. "Excuse me." She ran off, leaving the rest of them staring after her.
Vegeta kept his eyes on the door. He had seen pain in her eyes. Somehow he knew that he was back to square one…did he read her emotions wrong? Was Kakara playing with him the whole time? He sighed, watching as Raditz walked out of the room with Nappa. They were taking Turly to the medical wing.
"Momma really messed her up," Gohan said, crawling over.
Vegeta gave the boy a small smile. "That would be true." He had never see that side to Kakara, it was thrilling in a way. He wanted to see her do that again. She had been covered in blood and the prince couldn't help but imagine her being on a battlefield with him before his mind went in a completely different direction. The prince was sure now, more than ever that he wanted Kakara. Now he pondered the idea of her being more than just a vessel for his heir…but he couldn't bring himself to go all the way with that thought. "Let's go back to our quarters."
Gohan nodded and followed Vegeta back. He wondered why his mommy had attacked the new lady. His mother didn't just attack people.
When they reached the living space, Vegeta walked in with the boy. He could see that her armor was on the ground. Almost as if she had ripped if off in her anger. The prince walked around, using caution as he strode towards her room. Her brat was moving to the couch, it looked like he was about to fall asleep.
Gokin opened the door to find the prince on the other side. She stared at him and he stared back. She had found her Gi and put it back on. "Aren't you going to look after Turly?" She pushed past him, not giving him a second glance.
Vegeta stared at her, feeling funny as she walked over to Gohan. "Why would I do that?"
"Well, she is a first class," Gokin said, not looking at him as she picked up Gohan. "You must be glad that they found her." She walked pasted Vegeta again, lot looking at him. She couldn't look at him anymore. It was just too painful.
Vegeta growled. "Why would I be glad?" He looked after her, watching her back as she disappeared into her bedroom without another word. The prince sighed. It looked like he was going to have to ask Turly. He needed to know what that horrid woman had said.
Suddenly, he listened as Kakara began to sing on the other side of the door. He knew this song. His mother used to sing it to him before bed as well. She got about half way through then stopped.
Vegeta stared at the door as she kept humming. He was waiting for her to come out. They needed to talk. Then he remembered that she could sense him. "Kakara, come out here."
Slowly the door opened, but she didn't look at him, which did nothing but anger him. "Look, Prince Vegeta, I have to get my son to…" Everything stopped as he pushed her against the wall. Somehow his lips were moving against hers. She stayed still from the shock as he pulled off of her.
Vegeta's eyes narrowed. "So, you've been teasing me this whole time then?" He wasn't going to let her make a joke out of him.
"You're one to talk." Gokin tried to pull out of his grasp, but found it was impossible. "Prince Vegeta, let me go!"
The prince snarled. If this had been earlier, he would have been happy to hear his title coming from her lips, but now the way she was saying it was so robotic. "You dare to order me around!"
"Why did you even come here?! Go back to your mate!" Vegeta was thrown for a loop, giving her the opening she needed. Gokin pulled herself free of his grasp then moved back to her room, securing the door before he could even say anything.
Vegeta stared at the door. He could hear her crying on the other side. The prince walked away, feeling like the wind had been knocked out of him. Kakara wasn't the one playing games…it was Turly. The prince growled. He would do everything it took to get Kakara's trust restored.
To Be Continued…
