Out in the wasteland . . .

Raditz was lying down on a soft patch of grass, trying to sleep, when something dared wake him. He sat up and glanced over to his side at his nephew. The boy was asleep but he was mumbling and constantly tossing and turning.

He must be having a nightmare, Raditz thought.

"N-no! Daddy wait!" Gohan called out and he continued to toss and turn. "Please! Daddy!"

Raditz sighed and decided it would be best if he were to wake the boy. He really didn't want to listen to all of that crying; he'd heard more than enough crying from his nephew the day he arrived on Earth. He grabbed Gohan's shoulders and tried to shake him awake.

"NO!" Gohan exclaimed as his eyes snapped open. He glanced at Raditz then over Raditz's shoulder to where the boy's eyes widened.

"Gohan? Gohan!" Raditz tried but to no avail. Just what was the boy staring at-

SHIT!

His eyes widened at what he saw . . . it was a full moon! He quickly glanced back at Gohan and the boy still had his eyes glued to the moon. Good thing he didn't have his tail- wait what was that right next to him? Shit it was a tail! WHY DID HE HAVE HIS TAIL? Piccolo had specifically told him that the first thing he did before commencing the training was remove Gohan's tail so he wouldn't have to deal with a 'Goku episode'. If that was the case, then, why and how did Gohan have his tail? No matter what the reason, Raditz had to do something! But it was too late; the boy had been exposed to more than enough Blutz Waves.

Gohan was beginning to transform as fur began covering his body and he began to increase in size.

"No! Gohan! Damn it!" Raditz exclaimed as he flew up and tried to think of a plan.

"What the hell is going on?" Piccolo exclaimed as he appeared next to Raditz.

"You tell me green man," Raditz began as he crossed his arm across his chest, "You said you got rid of the boy's tail!"

"I-I did! It was the first thing I did before I left him on his own!" Piccolo exclaimed. "YOU tell ME what's going on! You're the Saiyan! How did his tail grow back?"

"How would I know- wait, Katherine once told me that Kakarrot has had his tail removed on more than one occasion, so is it possible that the boy can re-grow his tail as well?" Raditz pondered.

"I don't know much about you Saiyans or your tails but that seems like the only thing we can go by right now. Any ideas on how to stop him?" Piccolo questioned as they looked on at Gohan's rampage.

"Remove his tail. Distract him will ya," Raditz said then flew down.

"Wait, how- Damn it! Give me the dirty work," he said in a low voice as he looked on at Gohan's destruction. "Damn it Gohan!" Piccolo exclaimed as he flew down to try and get the raging boy's attention.

It would be pretty challenging for Raditz to get a clean shot of Gohan's tail since he was flailing around and it was pretty hard to get in close without being hit.

"Hurry the hell up!" Piccolo exclaimed, dodging and destroying many boulders Gohan was throwing his way.

"What the hell do you think I'm trying to do-" he was cut off when his body met with a giant, brown, furry tail, sending him flying into some hills. "Damn it," Raditz growled. It all happened so suddenly he had to take in what just happened. Only when he spotted Piccolo crashing down to the Earth did everything register in his mind. Damn, for being a half-breed Saiyan Oozaru, Gohan was mighty quick and powerful. Now if only he could control it-

"Damn it!" he called out as he was viciously kicked into a nearby mountain side. He grunted as some rocks fell onto him. 'Heh, this must be payback for what I did to you and your father,' he thought amusedly.

Damn those attacks sure did get him by surprise. They knocked the wind right out of him. He'd been through worse though. Hell, he served under Frieza. That was hell in itself. Bastards always calling him weak, always underestimating his strength, always putting him at the bottom! He wasn't a weakling! He would prove his strength and power! And he would rise to the top where he belonged! Even if it meant killing his former comrades along the way! He was a Saiyan warrior, a mighty and proud race of fighters! He'd be damned if he let a mere out of control half-breed be the one to put him down!

The moonlight seemed to have disappeared as a large shadow suddenly loomed above him.

"GOHAN!" Piccolo called out as Gohan slammed his foot down with every intent to stomp the life out of Raditz. Piccolo's eyes widened when Gohan's primate foot was halted by none other than Raditz.

Raditz was using his sheer strength to stop Gohan's foot from crushing him. "Don't think you can kill me so easily!" he exclaimed feeling a burst of power flow through him as he pushed Gohan's foot back. The Great Ape staggered as he tried to regain his balance. Raditz quickly followed it up with a powerful ki blast to the chest which successfully knocked the Oozaru down.

"You alright?" Piccolo called out to Raditz whom of which was slightly hunched over trying to catch his breath from using such a powerful and energy consuming attack.

"I've had better days green man, much better days."

"Good to know you won't be dying anytime soon," Piccolo replied dryly. He then noticed something behind the Saiyan that really made him tighten his fists. It was . . . it was . . . IT WAS HIS TAIL! Bu-but how? It was removed! Damn these damn Saiyans and damn their damn tails!

Raditz felt different . . . different in a strange yet powerful way. Almost like when he had his- he quickly glanced back and couldn't help the dark smile that crept its way onto his face. He wasted no time staring up at the moon as Gohan was beginning to get up again. Only this time, he was even more pissed as he pounded on his chest and let out a bone chilling roar.

Piccolo watched on as Raditz began to drastically increase in size and transform into an Oozaru. Great, now he had two giant monkeys to deal with.

Raditz couldn't remember the last time he had felt such power course through him! He loved it! He missed it! Such a great and overwhelming feeling! He pounded his chest and let out a loud and primitive roar. He blasted a nearby mountain and couldn't help but laugh. Oh yes how he missed this formed, he thought as he closed his hand to a fist. He let out another roar as he pounded his fists on his chest.

He didn't miss Gohan as the 'kid' charged at him. He easily took down the demi Saiyan and noticed Piccolo down below.

"Just what are you gawking at green man?" he questioned in a very deep voice followed by a dark laugh.

"Just what the hell are you doing?" Piccolo called out.

"What does it look like? I'm detaining the boy."

Gohan repeatedly tried to attack Raditz but he was thrown aside every time, each and every time more uncontrollable rage building up inside of him. It finally came to Raditz and Gohan being face to face in a struggle of sheer strength.

If only I succeeded in angering Kakarrot this much when I first arrived on this planet, Raditz thought. Heh, kid DID have a grudge against me after all. I knew he had forgiven me all too easy. All of this proved that Gohan had a secret power locked within as well as an immense uncontrollable rage.

Piccolo watched on in contempt. They had been throwing each other around as if it was nothing, yet every time they collided with the Earth it would create mini tremors. He had to do something before the Oozarus ended up destroying everything. Damn it all, he couldn't get a clean shot of either of their tails because they were constantly moving around. Well if that was the case, then he'd have to go for the cause of all of this.

"HUAA!" He fired a powerful energy beam at the moon, successfully destroying it and turning it into nothing more than space dust. "That should do it," he breathed out.

Raditz had knocked Gohan down once again and was waiting for the 'boy' to come at him with even more rage when all of a sudden he felt his power drop dramatically. He looked up and was shocked to find the moon nowhere in sight. How does something at huge just disappear- wait, the green man. He must have done something! He must be the one responsible!

"Damn it," Raditz growled in a low voice as he and Gohan began to transform back. He staggered slightly then dropped to one knee, feeling the aftereffects of having transformed. He glanced to his side and saw Gohan lying down unconscious and naked. Typical, if the boy can't control his transformation then of course he's going to be completely depleted of energy.

He reached over and firmly grabbed a hold of his nephew's tail. "And now to take care of this," he said as he pulled it right off with a single tug then tossed it to the side and burned it with a ki blast.

The boy didn't even move, not even a single flinch.

Raditz stood up and securely wrapped his tail around his waist.

"Well it looks like you took care of things," Piccolo said as he landed down next to the unconscious Gohan. Even though Raditz's hair was long enough to cover his entire backside, Piccolo still had his back to him as did Raditz.

"Oh course I did green man," Raditz said as he glanced back at Piccolo. Damn it, his clothes had been shredded when he transformed. He really didn't have in mind walking around naked with the green man and Gohan around. Well, he supposed he could pay his beloved mate a visit. Surely she wouldn't mind . . .

"No more surprise visits," Kat said right before he left the morning after their wonderful night of lovemaking.

. . . Yeah, surely she wouldn't mind. Heh, speaking of visits, he had in mind paying her one so he could check up on that mark he left on her neck and most likely tell her that she was now his; ah yes, that sure ought to lead to an amusing argument. Hell, he showing up naked would most likely lead to quite an interesting quarrel in that itself. It'd be worth it though- seeing her reaction and the way he knew she just couldn't resist. Well it's not like he could resist much either especially when it would take every fiber in his being to resist claiming her over and over again.

She would most likely freak out once she saw his tail. As he recalled, she was the one who seduced and later injected him which led to his tail being removed. Showing up would be a blatant middle finger to all of their early efforts to keep him subdued.

"What did you do with his tail?" Piccolo questioned.

"I destroyed it," Raditz answered as he looked up at the moonless night sky.

"I see." He cast Gohan a quick look over before scowling- the boy was naked, and Piccolo had no intention of having to look at that nor the Saiyan behind him for that matter. "Here," he said as he shot a beam like energy towards Gohan then Raditz.

"Wha- what the-?" Raditz began, realizing he was now dressed. "Thanks green man," he said slowly.

"Don't mention it, seriously, don't. It's either that or having to look at you naked . . ." Piccolo said as he scooped Gohan up by the waist then took off back to the site where he would drop the boy off and let him come to on his own.

Raditz crossed his arms behind his head and looked up at the moonless, starry night once again. When the moon was up, it wasn't so high up in the sky which meant that it wasn't so late yet. With that being said, it also meant there was a very high chance that his Katherine was still up and awake . . . maybe not up but awake yes. What better night to pay her a visit? Surely she would be ab-so-lute-ly ec-static to see him, he thought as he took off towards West City.

Kat blinked, noticing how it suddenly got darker. Peering out of the large living room windows, she was shocked to find the moon missing. But.. she just saw it there…

"I still can't believe it! You're pregnant! I mean, how did this happen?"

"Really Bulma? Really? Do you really want to know how it happened?" Kat began slyly, "Because you were yelling it over and over an hour ago. I'm pretty sure all of West City knows by now."

"I just- how?"

"I don't know," Kat sighed, "It just did."

"Well regardless, you're not alone. I'm here," Bulma smiled with a thumbs up offering all of her support.

"Thanks, that really means a lot to me," she replied with a tired smile. The day had been… quite a day to say the least. A hot, relaxing shower was in order followed by blissful, uninterrupted sleep. She knew this wasn't something she could easily sleep off but it could help ease the situation a bit…

With a content sigh, Kat stepped out of the steam filled bathroom wearing a robe tied loosely at her hips. She stretched her arms above her head, heading straight to bed until she noticed the figure at her door.

"You," her eyes narrowed.

"Well this is a rather delightful surprise," he made his way to her with a mischievous grin. "I hope you didn't miss me too much."

"I've been in tears," she replied sarcastically, running a hand through her damp hair.

"It's almost as if you knew I'd come," he eyed the loose robe around her body with hungry eyes.

Blinking, she crossed her arms over her chest. "What do you want? Aren't you supposed to be training?" she point her finger at him accusingly. That's when she noticed something she hadn't before… around his waist… it looked exactly like his-

"Is that… is that your tail?" she questioned slowly, unsure if she was just seeing things.

"Hm?" he glanced down before raising his eyebrows. "Oh would you look at that, it IS my tail."

Kat looked on as the furry appendage unwrapped from his waist and slowly swayed behind him.

"But… we.."

"Regardless, my tail is back," he smirked as he pulled her close, loving the view down below.

"No!" she huffed, holding the robe at her breasts with one hand and pushing his face away with the other. "If I knew you were coming I would have worn a winter coat."

"No difference to me," he poked her side and watched on in delight as she jerked away from him with a flushed face.

"You shit!" she held onto the robe as his laugh filled her ears. She glared at him as he approached once again but was surprised when he cupped her face with a sudden gentleness and kissed her.

"You are divine," he looked amusedly at his mate as she looked away from him, muttering to herself with a newfound blush on her face.

"No wonder I'm-" she caught herself. That wouldn't be a good slip up.

But unfortunately he caught it.

"You're what?" he inquired with a raised brow.

Damn. He was staring right at her and expecting an answer. This could not possibly end well and this was not something she wanted to deal with at the moment.

"An idiot," came her response. "This is a mistake, and there is no point wasting my time with you when you're surely going to either die or leave forever once all this crap is over with."

He smirked at this. "Oh I won't die that easily. And besides, when this is all over you'll be with me. That's how this works," he crossed his arms over his chest.

Brows raised, "That's how what works exactly?"

"This. You've grown on me Katherine. So much that I wanted to keep you for myself. Thus I marked you. As in you now belong to me. Wherever you go, I go and vice versa."

Kat's eyes narrowed. Keep? Mark?! Belong?! This tall sack of shit!

"What the hell! I'm not some damn object that can be picked up and claimed by whomever!"

"I don't want anyone else on this planet or, anyone anywhere in the universe for that matter, claiming you as their own. You're mine now. I'll kill anyone who dares defy my mark, simple as that. I can and I will. You should have known from the moment we first met that you would have been mine at one point or another."

"Oh yeah, 'cause you know I always anticipate the arrival of aliens from outer space. What's next? Now you'll want me to bear you a child to further validate this?"

"That actually wouldn't be a bad idea," he glanced up and rubbed his chin in thought. "And it would further authenticate our mating."

She stared at him with a blank expression. What. The. Fuck.

He took notice of her change in expression. Something set her off. "You're, pregnant, aren't you?" he slowly questioned.

Hand gripping the robe tighter, she looked away from him with uncertainty. "I… no?"

"Katherine," his voice was stern.

She furrowed her brow, still not looking at him. "Maybe? I-I don't know," she sighed.

"Ah, well then that's that," he shrugged.

"'That's that'?! I'm freaking the hell out and 'that's that'?!" she pointed an angry finger at him.

"And here I thought I had a long day," he teased.

"This isn't a joke!"

"It's not, but what is there to do now?" he approached her and moved some stray strands of hair away from her face.

"I- hey!" she squeaked when he scooped her up and brought her over to the bed.

"There's nothing to be done about the matter," he said matter-of-factly, setting her down.

"I'm still pissed," she glared at his back. Surely their mutual attraction to one another would have resulted in something but... mating?!

"I can see," he glanced at her from over his shoulder, discarding some articles of clothing so that he could sleep more comfortably.

"I hate you," she grumbled as he slid in next to her. For all she knew it was probably his intention to impregnate her!

He grinned. "Of course you do," he pulled her to him.

"I'm serious," she muttered.

"Of course you are," he yawned and booped her nose.

"Boop my nose again and I'll bite your damn finger off," she yawned as well.

"Of course you will," he nuzzled her hair and breathed in her luscious scent as the confines of sleep overtook them.
