Chapter 12

Both boys touched down on the front lawn. They bounded up to the front door, not looking behind them as Radditz and Atomique landed side by side. She panted, and then felt his arm wrap around her waist to steady her against himself. Gathering strength from his physical presence, she managed to catch her breath.

"Are you sure you are well, love?" whispered Radditzu. Her heart skipped beats hearing that term of endearment.

"Yes, fine," she nodded, not as drained as she would be in years past. While she suspected he had given her a greater measure of his ki, she realized her own must be at a greater level than she'd imagined. Already for the past few months she had been able to train herself in that same way the Z fighters all utilized to sense ki, or as she called it chikara.

"C'mon kids, let's go," Trunks called.

"Down, down," laughed Bohr. Radditz put the boy down gently, while Fermi slid down from his mother.

"Wait for us!" called Bohr. "Trunks!"

"Now don't run!" called Atomique.

"C'mon you two, let's go," Trunks said, glancing at Goten.

"You sure?" he asked, as Trunks reached out his hand to Fermi. Bohr rushed up, and grabbed Trunk's other hand.

"Is that your wish, Sire?" asked Radditz, inclining his head.

"I'll take 'em in. And I'll announce you to my father�" Trunks grinned. "No worries. You two lovebirds just chill while I tell my parents you're here�"

"Lovebirds?" asked Goten. "EWW!"

"What's that?" asked Fermi, as Trunks urged them in.

"Your mommy's got a new special friend," Trunks whispered.

"Special friend?" Bohr frowned, entering the capsule corps door that swung open automatically.

"Yeah� they're gonna get married soon," said Trunks.

"No way Trunks, I didn't see a ring!" Goten snorted.

"Well, my mommy can fix that, and besides, he's a Saiyan, and my daddy's says their customs for marriage are different," Trunks smirked. "Don't worry, he's cool� c'mon you two�"

Radditzu moved closer to Atomique, breathing in her ear. He asked, "You don't sense them, do you? Your comrades?"

"They could be masking it. I know that Bejita must be�" she whispered.

"You need not fear them while I am here," said Radditzu proudly. Arm around her waist he nudged her towards the front pathway, and she separated herself from him. Even though he cast a hurt look, she grabbed his outstretched hand to mollify him. He squeezed her fingers in his own, swinging his arm between them as they caught up with Trunks and Goten.

Trunks bounded in through the living room of Capsule Corps, chased by Goten and the twins. The two boys rushed around the legs of the maid who had just opened the door for them. Not surprised she maintained as much composure as she could while the purple and black streaks breezed past.

"You promised to give me two new games if I won! So don't try and weasel out of it, Trunks!" Goten reminded him.

"Um� well I did say that� but I meant they're new to you cause I don't play them so much anymore�"

"Play fair!" called Bohr.

"You promised! Don't be a cheater!" Fermi snorted.

"You guys are no fun," grumbled Trunks. Goten grinned and slapped both twins on the back.

"Stick close, I think this is the beginning of a real friendship�" he whispered.

"Good grief, this place never ceases to surprise me, and I'm used to being in large ultramodern buildings moreso then you� or am I jumping to conclusions?" Atomique asked, walking alongside Radditzu. Both of them had flown back with the rest of the group, returning Trunks to his parents, and wondering if they could catch a sign of Jeannie.

"Well considering I lived in Frieza's compounds most of the time� it's primitive but serviceable," he answered.

She gave a surprised yelp as a lavender haired nine-year-old streaked past, pursued by his annoyed best friend. "Yikes, don't tell me that his Royal Whyness lets them rush around in here�"

"He is the son of a prince," said Radditzu. "He does what he pleases�"

"Trunks, Goten, KNOCK it off!" Bulma yelled as she entered the room. "I mean it! Or else anything you break's coming out of Trunk's allowance!"

"Guess we got the official word," Atomique said. Flashing a fist out, Radditzu caught the back of his nephew's training outfit. It still never failed to astonish her how fast his reflexes were. Even though she had learned to track hyperspeed with the training he'd given, it still blew her mind.

"I apologize Mistress for his conduct," Radditz said, bowing to her.

"Uncle Radditz, he started it!" Goten snorted.

"Well, I shall finish it. Perhaps you and the Prince's son should go play outside?"

"He's right," said Buruma. "But no sparring till you cleaned up what you broke, got it?"

Radditz set Goten down, and he meekly nodded in Bulma's direction. Both he and Trunks sulkily stomped out towards the way they came. Bulma sighed and turned to see them standing there. "Hello Radditz, nice to see you� are you doing well at Son's?'

"Mistress it suits me well," said Radditz, saluting her. "I humbly request an audience with his Majesty�"

"Oh, relax will you!" Bulma sighed. "Look, I'm sure that Bejita can squeeze you in. I'll tell him you're here�"

"You should not trouble yourself, your Highness," said Radditz.

"Highness?" she blinked. "Oh yeah, I forgot. I guess that makes me Vegeta's princess�"

"Of course, your Majesty," said Radditz, confused.

"Relax, it's all right," said Atomique, holding his hand. Bulma gave her a wink.

"How are you doing? Hope you don't mind me dropping by?" Atomique asked.

"Never a problem. I was just surprised to see you� it's been ages! You and I never got around to you showing me that latest experimental compound you said you could transmute�because it could work GREAT with the new�" Bulma began to chatter excitedly.

"Well, if you show me the lab�" she asked.

"Radditz, don't mind us� if you're looking for Bejita, he's in the GR, no big surprise. I'm sure he'd enjoy the chance to spar�" Bulma glanced over at Radditzu.

"If that pleases your Majesty, then I shall do so," said Radditz. "Tomique-chan?"

"Go on," she smiled. "Why the heck not."

"I shall see you later, her Majesty permitting?" Radditz asked, inclining his head.

"Of course," Bulma grinned. "We'll just enjoy talking about your polymer� you're dismissed Radditz!"

"If I'm not back by the time you're ready to go, come rescue me," Atomique teased.

"Your Highness?" Radditz blinked.

"I'll make sure she emerges in one piece! Go run along Radditz and find Bejita! There's a good warrior!"

Radditz nodded, and bowed before he walked down the hall to find his prince. He blushed when he realized he had no armor. "Oh, if you're looking for some armor, I have some new stuff in the locker room near the GR. Help yourself!"

"Thank you, your majesty!" Radditz waved as Bulma rushed her friend to the lab.

"I was expecting Gohan or Videl bringing them back. Not that I mind you coming over� but is it my imagination or is he in an even better mood than usual?" Bulma whispered, leading the way to one of her extensive labs.

"Let's just say he's been getting a better quality of rest," said Atomique.

"Speaking of, are you still having trouble getting to sleep? I have an invention that might make it easier�" Bulma said. "But knowing you, you probably came up with some wonder drug�"

"I'm an alchemist, but I'm not a drugstore," she joked. "Seriously I had been an organic chemist at one time. I do miss playing around with chemicals."

"I heard you were teaching part time at Gohan's college. You finding ways of keeping out of trouble?" Bulma asked.

"I try," said Atomique with a healthy blush. "Now, what was that new material you wanted to see?"

Bejita muffled a curse as a ball of ki slammed into him. Today he trained alone, pushing the latestset of training bots to the limit. An ever-present frown twisted his handsome features into his battle face, dripping with sweat. Yet as soon as he sensed the ki of his visitor, he barked a command in Saiyan to halt the session.

He grabbed the towel to his left, with a bottle of spring water. The door slid open automatically, revealing Radditz in a low bow. Bejita snorted a grunt that passed for a greeting he walked forwards, muttering, "Radditz. Wondered what would take you so damn long to show your face around here again�"

"I apologize your Grace for disturbing your exercise but I request humbly your counsel�"

"You always manage to succeed in THAT area," Bejita mumbled. "Thank you for bringing my son. Is Kakkarot too lazy to do it himself?"

"Begging your pardon Sire, but he seems preoccupied�" Radditz nodded as Bejita gave him leave to rise.

"Is he wondering about my erstwhile student?" asked Bejita.

"Your pardon sire, that wasn't the MAIN reason I stopped by� other then to return your son� but while you mentioned it�" Radditz said, walking quickly to keep pace with the Saiyan no Ouji marching down the long hallway.

"She's been gone for the last week or so," said Bejita, walking through the double doors that ledto the ultramodern expansive kitchen. He sat down at one of the places that had been set up quickly by scurrying staff.

"Is that so, sire? May I ask why?"

"You know as well as I do, Radditzu. She requires some time to be disciplined for making a fool of me. Nappa is attending to her training, with her co student. They shall return in a day or so."

"Begging your pardon, Sire, but she seemed pretty powerful�"

"Not with her insolence clouding her sense of judgement. She's making careless foolish mistakes, and I cannot abide that.�" said Bejita.

"If you may permit me to speak�she has series issues with my mate, and I won't allow her to endanger Tomique�," said Radditz, fixing Bejita in a stare. For a moment the Prince blinked at him, and then widened his eyes. Radditz averted his gaze in apology.

"Took you damn long enough, bakayarou," Bejita said with a slow smirk. "Is that your chief reason for coming here? To ask for my approval?"

"If you please sire, it depends on what you mean�" he said, scratching his head with a nervous smile. For a split second Bejita saw an expression that was more Son Goku then Son of Bardock, and flinched.

"Don't give me that crap, you third class clown. You seem extraordinarily pleased with yourself, and that suggests you've shown good taste in your selection," Bejita said with a snort. This was thelast thing he needed, his warrior getting caught with that stupid naiveté common to this planet's weak inhabitants.

"Does your Majesty approve with my choice of mate?" asked Radditzu, frowning severely in the manner common for a Saiyajin.

"Indeed. Far better than to let her mate with Kakkarot. Little wonder you and he have been training her so hard. Otherwise you'd have been a fool to even try. Although the day that she undid a solidyear of training in ten minutes with what I thought was a decent student proved to me that you could have taken her three months ago�" Bejita said, glancing at the seams of his glove rather than his warrior's face. Radditzu was relieved, because that showed Bejita wasn't going to blast him into oblivion.

"Sire?" asked Radditz.

"That fool brother of yours isn't sure of what's supposed to happen," he said, lowering his voice. He leaned close to Radditzu, who angled his head nearby.

"No doubt. I had suspected Sire, that he desired the retrieval of his mate. He did indeed desire Atomique for his own, but I wished her for myself�" Radditzu whispered, catching the smugsmile erupting on the Saiyan no Ouji's face.

"You've done well, Radditz. Too bad your little brother doesn't share your sense of timing. Isuppose we should make plans to get that loud mouthed harpy back together with Kakkarot before he goes crazy�"

"Sire, if I may ask a favor?" said Radditzu, dropping to one knee and inclining his head, with one arm held forwards.

"You wish the traditional mating ceremony? That is appropriate but you do realize that she'll have to be trained as a Saiyan warrior now, don't you? And you shall do the honors yourself. I shall get the Consort to help prepare her. It shall be arranged," said Bejita.

"Sire, shall she be a third class such as I was�" asked Radditzu.

"Yes, since she was new to our ways. Although she served in some military on this other world, she is a novice to our methods of fighting. But with the requisite training she should function adequately in my service."

"Now, if you have any other news to relate to me, join me in the GR�"

"Yes your majesty," Radditz grinned, like a cat that had ingested a sizable canary. He was glad that his prince thought well of his move, and hoped that there would be news of his new mate's nemesis.
