Chapter 15 � Conflict

Vegeta�s training
in the GR, trying to take his mind off of a certain Saiyan.

�This is
ridiculous! There�s no excuse whatsoever! He�s only a low class warrior! I know
Radditz was also inferior to me, but that happened under totally different
circumstances. I should be stronger than that now� How come my skin is crawling
with need?�

Vegeta powers up
to level 3 and sets the gravity at 1500. (No one knows how Bulma keeps
improving that machine, but thank Kami that�s irrelevant to this story.) He
fires a blast at the bots hovering over him and starts to dodge his own attack.

�I have to
control myself,� he thinks bitterly. �With Radditz, I was always able to
maintain control. Blasted Chikyuu moon! I never knew it could get to me this
much.�

Vegeta gets hit
by the blast and falls down to the floor. He sits up and reacts instinctively
when he suddenly sees Kakarot appear from out of nowhere. Right before the
gravity forces Goku to hit the ground, Vegeta surrounds him with an energy
shield and commands the computer to restore normal gravity.

�Kami damn it!�
Vegeta roars. �What are you, suicidal? I thought one suicidal Saiyan was enough
on Chikyuu.�

�I�m sorry
Vegeta,� Goku says, scratching the back of his head. �I didn�t think.�

�You never do, do
you?� Vegeta says with biting sarcasm. �Stupid baka.�

�Well, thanks for
saving me.� Goku looks at him intently. �I see your tail�s grown back as well.�

Vegeta studies
the ground as he blushes. �Could I make my weakness any clearer? He may act
stupid, he�s not blind.�

�So what if it
did?� he asks aggressively.

�I was just
wondering what it meant,� Goku grins, waving his tail behind his back, seeming
overconfident. �Tails don�t grow back without a reason, Vegeta, I learnt that
much when I changed.�

�This has nothing
to do with you, Kakarot!� Vegeta
clenches his fists and gets into a defensive stance. He feels threatened by
Goku�s teasing.

�Why the hell did
you come here anyway? Were you hoping your dreams would come true?�

Goku steps back
shocked. A triumphant smirk flashes across Vegeta�s face.

�How do you know
about that?� Goku stutters.

�I�m not an
idiot, Kakarot. I know what you want from me, I know what�s on your perverted
mind. You changed so you could finally have your way with me. Well, forget it!
You�re a low class soldier, there�s no way you�re worthy!�

Goku�s face falls
when he hears Vegeta�s contempt.

�But you told me�
you were attracted to me��

�That�s no
excuse.�

�But I�m as
strong as you are� I don�t understand!� Tears well up in Goku�s eyes as he
looks at his Prince, who coldly rejects him.

Silence falls
between the two warriors. Vegeta stares at Goku coldly, not intending to
explain himself.

Then Goku slowly
steps forward. �You�re still scared of me, aren�t you, Vegeta?�

Vegeta clenches
his jaws and remains silent.

�How can I prove
to you that I�m not like Frieza? How can I make you trust me?�

�It�s very
simple, Kakarot,� Vegeta hisses. �You can�t.� Goku�s mouth falls open when he
watches how Vegeta puts two fingers to his forehead and ITs out of the GR.

Goku feels
restless that night. Why the hell does Vegeta keep rejecting him? It must be
his fear to be overpowered again, he reasons. What Frieza did to him in the
past can�t be undone. He�ll have to live with it for the rest of his long life.

Goku lets his
mind drift back to when he was still a boy. How carefree has his childhood been
compared to Vegeta�s! He shivers when the memories of Vegeta invade his mind
and cast a shadow over the present situation. Never in his whole life has Goku
felt this powerless. He wants to help Vegeta to be happy so desperately�

The next morning,
Goku wakes up and senses something immediately. Vegeta is gone. Away from
Chikyuu, away from him.

�Why?� Goku
thinks, ignoring the fact that he damn well knows the answer to the question.

�He�s run away
from me to try and get over his unwanted feelings for me. Well I don�t intend
to let you get away that easily, Vegeta.�

Kakarot smirks
and transmits to Capsule Corp. Maybe Bulma can locate Vegeta with a little help
from her gadgets.

�Off the planet?
Why do you think that?� Bulma asks surprised.

�I can�t sense
his ki. He must be somewhere in space.�

�The space ships
are still here, I don�t think I can locate him from here��

She sees how
Goku�s face falls. Then she says: �Wait a minute� You can sense his ki pattern
if it�s close enough, right?�

�Of course, you
know I can.�

�Maybe there�s a
way to expand that ability� Capsule Corp. owns a couple of satellites that can broadcast
a so-called tracer signal into space.�

�What good would
that do?�

�It mirrors
Vegeta�s ki signal. As soon as it finds its mirror in Vegeta�s ki signal, it
gets back to us with his location.�

�What are you
waiting for? Let�s do it!�

�Follow me to the
lab.�

Bulma hooks Goku
up to a machine.

�Right. Now I
need you to imitate Vegeta�s ki signal, but be gentle! Don�t feed too much ki
into the machine �cause it might break. Just imitate Vegeta�s ki at a baseline
level.�

Goku closes his
eyes and searches for the memories Vegeta has shared with him. He waits until
he can form a perfect image of Vegeta�s ki and then slowly starts to radiate it
outwards. The machine translates the image to a signal and Bulma clicks on the
�save� button.

�Got it! I�ll
prepare for broadcasting.�

�How long will it
take?�

�Depends on how
far away he is. Don�t worry, I�ll let you know as soon as I learn something.�

�I�ll search on
nearby planets. I�ll be back in a few hours.�

�Alright. Oh,
Goku?�

Goku turns
around, already on his way to the door.

�Yeah?�

�Why do you need
to find him so badly?�

�Let�s say I�m
worried about his health. See ya!�

Bulma shakes her
head and gets to work. �Saiyans�� she mutters under her breath.

�So no one knows
you�re here?� Toorah asks.

�No one. I needed
a break from everything.� Vegeta looks at his son warningly. �You�d better not
mock me, brat. I don�t care whether you�re stronger than I am, I�ll still kick
your butt if I see the need to.�

Toorah smiles.
�Mock you, father? Why would I? I can see why you�re running away. Kakarot can
be quite� persistent if he wants to.�

Vegeta clenches
his fists. �Are you calling me a coward?�

�No. But you�re
making this way too hard on yourself.�

�I will not give
in to this baka!�

�Why can�t you
just admit to yourself that you�re attracted to him? You saved each other�s
lives dozens of times, you shared memories, you even fused bodies! Why not have
sex? I don�t see what the big deal is.� Toorah leans back into the grass and
sighs.

�You are not just
being stubborn here, father. You�re acting stupid.�

�Not stupid, son.
I�m scared.�

Toorah�s eyes
grow wide as he hears his father admitting this. �Scared? Why?�

�Your father was
the only one I was ever close to. He got killed. I�m not ready to get myself
involved again� I�m too afraid I�ll lose Kakarot as well.�

�That�s
completely irrational. Even if Kakarot dies, you can wish him back with the
Dragon Balls.�

�Still I don�t
trust him.�

�Did he ever
betray you in any way?�

�No.� Vegeta
sighs. �Maybe I am a coward.�

�You�re not.
You�re just� shy.� Toorah starts laughing like a madman.

Vegeta can�t help
himself and blushes. �Thanks a lot, brat.�

Goku curses when
he gets home. Nothing. Not a trace. Vegeta has totally vanished.

Then, out of the
blue, it dawns on him. Otherworld. The only place that he cannot go since he�s
been banished for good.

�Damn that
bastard!� he thinks. �He must be thinking he�s safe there. Well, I�ll show him
safe.�

Goku puts his
fingers to his forehead and vanishes.
