Chapter 15

Things carried on like any day would in the village. The people were doing their tasks in the village and moved on, they got use to the idea of a new man in the village. Vegeta seemed to be apart of the village now to the people unknowingly to Vegeta. The people accepted him as one of their own, they no longer stared or worry about what the man would do. Only one day the people were talking amongst themselves discussing what Vegeta would be able to do to pull his own weight around the village. They knew he was still injured and would be unable to help build or hunt. So they thought of things he could do with the women without looking weak. After all they just wanted him to pull his weight not hurt the pride of the man. They sent a villager to talk to Kakarot the day before to let him know they were going to hold a council and discuss what the man could do for the time being. Tonight was the night they will all decide Vegeta's job in the village.

Kakarot was happy he was glad the people accepted Vegeta. It seemed Vegeta was starting to mellow towards him as well. Instead of scoffing and grunting at him Vegeta actually talked to him now like a normal person. They still got into arguments it was only a normal thing to do when you live with someone. Taking a look into the sky Kakarot knew it was almost time, the sun will go down and the village would gather. He looked at the empty cot to his side. Vegeta was out like usual more than likely telling stories to the children. Since that fateful night he found Vegeta telling a story to Trunks and Goten it was a daily thing. It was hard at first to convince Bulma and Yamcha to allow their son by Vegeta but with the help from Kala and Trunks the finally done so. After two weeks all the children gathered around him listening to epic tales Vegeta knew. It was amusing to Kakarot to see Vegeta uncomfortable around the children, the man would go head first in battle but would try to run and hide from children. It was also amusing seeing Vegeta accepting gifts from them when they brought it he would look confused and stare at it like it was going to attack him. Vegeta even came to him asking why they done this. It sadden him when Vegeta asked the question and explained the children brought gifts to people who made them happy and considered dear to them. Leaving his musings he got dinner ready for them both tonight he would make a dish Vegeta would die over fresh fish cooked with mangos. Kakarot laughed to himself mangos was Vegeta's weakness and he exploited it only to make the man happy and content.

Vegeta finished up his tale of a life giving tree and a singing sparrow that made the children laugh and cry. He told them all it was the last story he would tell because it was becoming late and their family would worry. They all groaned and got ready to leave walking up and thanking Vegeta for the story some left him small little fruits mostly mangos. Vegeta smirked thinking to himself that Kakarot more than likely gave them the hint of his guilty pleasure. The last two boys approached him much like every day they waited for the others to leave to have a short moment alone with him.

"Vegeta tomorrow morning we are going to the falls have you been there?" Goten asked.

"The falls? No I have not I heard of it many times." Vegeta placed his thumb by his mouth and bite on the tip. "Why do you ask?"

"Because me and Goten is going in the early morning and we wanted to know if you wanted to come." Trunks smiled up at Vegeta.

Vegeta grunted. "So you can hear a story without your fellow villagers?" Vegeta chuckled.

"Umm no. Not because we don't like the stories we really do. We just want you to come along with us for a swim." Trunks answered.

Vegeta was slightly taken back. The kids did not want to hear a story only have him come along with them. They wanted to spend time with him. "Vegeta why do you bite the tip of your thumb every time you think?" Goten shyly asked.

Vegeta shrugged. "Old habit I guess."

"Well do you want to come with us?" Trunks asked again.

Vegeta grunted. "I will think about it. Come to me in the morning and I will give you an answer. But for now you brats need to go home to your mothers before I am to blame." Both boys smiled and hugged him at the same time running off to their homes waving goodbye to him. Vegeta just nodded back to the boys.

Vegeta sat there on a rock just a few steps outside of the village and thought about everything that had pass the weeks he has been there. He was getting soft and he knew it. It was those damn children from the village they got to him somehow. It wasn't a question the children got to him and he did know how. They were happy to be with him, to hear his stories and they gave him gifts, their thanks, and the two brats would hug him. They did not fear him or show any disgust to him they welcomed him like he was apart of their family. Then there was Kakarot helping him understand the gestures of the villagers, keeping him feeling secured and cared for. The fool even followed him around in the bushes to make sure he would be alright walking around alone it annoyed him at first but warmed him the same time. Vegeta was at a lost he didn't feel the bloodlust no longer, he didn't wish to conquer anymore he just wanted to give it all up but a part of him clawed and growled on the inside tearing him down screaming to be released and leave the fools. It demanded him to continue what he was doing not play jungle man. He was lost stuck at a crossroad in his life. It would be much easier to continue on, but it looked much better staying.

Kakarot waited for Vegeta to return it was almost night time and Vegeta still haven't shown up for dinner. Kakarot was becoming worried getting ready to leave and find him the very man in question limped in. "God's Vegeta I was about to go look for you. I was becoming worried."

Vegeta smirked at the man. "Don't worry I am okay mother." Vegeta snickered at the displeased look Kakarot gave him.

"No really Vegeta I am not kidding, you know tonight is a important night."

Kakarot explained.

"What about tonight is important?" Vegeta raised a brow looking at Kakarot.

"Tonight the villagers are discussing what job you can do for the village." Kakarot clapped his hands and smiled overjoyed.

"Putting me to work? You discuss slavery with importance. Why should I be happy?" Vegeta crossed his arms.

"It's not being a slave Vegeta. It is a good thing the villagers want to give you a task around here. It shows that they accepted you into the village. That is what you should be happy about Vegeta. The people have accepted you as one of their own now, and everyone has a duty to the village. Even I work and I am the leader." Kakarot pointed at his chest. Vegeta chuckled and shook his head.

"When are we going?" Vegeta asked.

"No you stay here it is a matter of the village, when you have a job then you can come to the council and put in opinions." Kakarot explained.

"I have no say in what I will be doing. That don't seem fair."

"Don't worry they will give you a small task I am sure until you are well enough then I will request you to be a hunter like me." Kakarot smiled. Vegeta waved his hand at the man dismissing the conversation.

"What are we eating tonight woman?" Vegeta laughed at Kakarot's expression.

"Will you stop that! I am a man! Not a woman damn you!" Kakarot placed his hands on his hips eyes silted at Vegeta. Vegeta took in the pose and begun to laugh harder.

"Well Kakarot you keep saying your not but from the looks of it you sure know how to stand like one!" Vegeta was nearly in hysterics at Kakarot's floundering.

"Moving on Vegeta! I made Fish mango!" Kakarot jumped up showing off the dish to Vegeta. Vegeta could no longer hold his laughter at bay. He fell over and laugh loudly to the point tears came to his eyes. "Oh shut up Vegeta!" Kakarot walked out of the hut leaving Vegeta to his mirth.

The villagers gathered in the hut with their children sitting on their lap or beside them. All watching the others discuss Vegeta's duty to the village. Many things were presented and shot down due to the fact Vegeta had a limp for another month due to his knee. It was Kala who gave them the idea of Vegeta making clothes and jewelry and it was agreed upon Vegeta would do that duty in two days until he was fully recovered to be a hunter and warrior of the village. They did not know the very man they discussed was sitting outside of the hut listening to their conversation not very pleased with his job. At least it wasn't the village cleaner.

Kakarot was the first to exit from the council hut and stretched out his muscles. Wondering how he was going to tell Vegeta he would be doing a woman's task in two days.

"Clothing and jewelry in two days really?" Kakarot jumped and turned to see Vegeta sitting on the only rock around.

"Yeah. It is much better than being a cleaner and it is only for a little while until you healed." Kakarot began to walk towards Vegeta. "Trust me you will be healed in no time and be running around the jungle with me hunting." Kakarot placed a hand on Vegeta's shoulder. Vegeta grunted and looked down at the ground. "Vegeta are you well? Is there anything I can do for you?" Kakarot was becoming worried by Vegeta's demeanor it has been awhile since Vegeta acted this way towards him.

"You have done enough for me Kakarot. I just need to think that is all. Do not concern yourself I will be fine." Vegeta stood up standing in front of Kakarot. "Lets go back there is still food left there that is untouched."

"You didn't eat?" Kakarot tilted his head at Vegeta.

"I did just not the food you made. I ate the fruit the brats gave me." Vegeta answered honestly to Kakarot's question.

"Awe you waited for me!" Kakarot laughed and patted Vegeta's shoulder.

Vegeta grunted at Kakarot and made a move to leave until he saw Nappa standing next to Kala and in his arms Goten. It was the first time he saw Nappa since the fight with him and his late generals. Vegeta sneered at Nappa when he returned the gaze. Nappa froze staring back at Vegeta. For a reason unknown to him he still pictured Vegeta being that small boy in the palace not the man that stood several feet from him. Kakarot watched Vegeta almost growl at Nappa and turned Vegeta around towards the path that lead to his hut. Looking back at Nappa he nodded ushering Vegeta quickly back to his home.

The emotions he felt for Nappa was raw rage, he wanted to go over and kill the man. To yell at him to make him hurt just as much as him, the dark side of himself coming back with a terrifying vengeance. He slapped away Kakarot's hands and took his anger out on him. Yelling and punching him cursing him the way he wanted to curse Nappa. Kakarot didn't understand a word Vegeta shouted it came out in a mixture of different languages. Kakarot tried to subdue Vegeta but failed miserably he didn't think Vegeta seeing Nappa would cause such a hazardous outcome. Using his only trick he knew he pinched a nerve in Vegeta's neck rendering him unconscious catching him in his arms as he fell. He lifted Vegeta up holding him in a bridal style cupping him closer to his body. He was worried for the man they were all so close in fully changing his outlook on life and Kakarot did not want Vegeta to revert back into that mess of hate. He only prayed Vegeta would come back to his senses when the morning came.

Throughout the night Kakarot stayed up watching Vegeta toss and turn in his sleep. At one point he went over to hold the man because he cried in his sleep not moving away until he was in a peaceful state of sleep. The birds started to sing signaling a new day. Kakarot did not take his eyes from the sleeping form until someone came in.

"Son how is he?" Nappa walked cautiously in the hut.

"Sleeping. I had to knock him out he was going mad from anger. Father I do not think you should be here." Kakarot looked up at the man noticing how timid Nappa looked. He never saw Nappa in such a manner.

"No son I think you should. Me and Vegeta need to talk. I am the hindrance in his progress he will never fully heal if we do not talk and get everything out in the open Kakarot." Nappa watched Kakarot stand and look at him.

"I understand father but please make it easy on him. His mind is fragile enough." Kakarot and Nappa grasped each others hand sealing in a promise. Kakarot looked down at Vegeta once more and left. Leaving his father to face a storm no sky could ever dream of producing.

Vegeta groaned and stretched out his limbs he did not open his eyes but instead stretch and think about what happened. He was angry and shouting then all of a sudden was attacking Kakarot. Then nothing he did not remember anything after that only Kakarot reaching out his hand to him and he was out. He released another groan.

"It always took you a long time to open your eyes. Some things never change prince Vegeta."

Vegeta sat straight up allowing his eyes to fly open only to slit at the man sitting on Kakarot's cot waiting for him. Vegeta bared his teeth and growled at the man. "What the fuck do you want?" Vegeta bit out those venomous words.

"I am only here to talk prince Vegeta." Nappa kept his eye's to the ground beneath. He knew if he looked at Vegeta he would run.

"Stop calling me that! I am not a prince anymore and you of all people should know that coward!" Vegeta sneered.

"Vegeta lets talk but not here children are around and I know you need to release your anger on me. Just save the children the obstinacies I know you will yell. They respect you don't ruin it." Nappa stood facing the exit and walked. Vegeta grunted and done the same staying further back.

Kakarot was bombarded by two boys asking questions about the whereabouts of Vegeta. "Boy's calm down. Goten father went to speak to him. I am sure they will be back soon."

"That's not fair!" Trunks whined

"Yeah we went to the hut they are not there! Vegeta was going to come to the falls with us to swim and play!" Goten held his head down.

Kakarot thought for a minute they said Vegeta and Nappa was not in the hut so Nappa took him away from the village for Vegeta to release his anger no doubt. Wait Nappa would take Vegeta to the waterfall where the boys would be heading to. "Boy's you got to stay away from the falls until Nappa and Vegeta are back okay. I am sure Vegeta would go back with you both after. Now promise me you won't go there."

The boy's face's dropped in sadness looking up at Kakarot they agreed both knowing if Nappa caught them there they both will be in big trouble and if they broke a promise to Kakarot their leader they would be cleaning the village forever. They both walked away looking for something else to occupy their time while they waited for the return of Vegeta.

Kakarot knew Nappa and Vegeta needed privacy but he couldn't help but be curious and worried at the same time. What if Nappa needed him, what if Vegeta needed him? What if something bad happened to both of them? He knew what he had to do. He started walking to the falls.

Vegeta stood a few feet from Nappa and waited for the man to speak. He didn't look around him to look at the area his eyes were trained on Nappa watching his every move. "Speak!" Vegeta shouted.

Nappa jump slightly at the command and he done as Vegeta demanded. He told the story to Vegeta just as he had to Kakarot the first day Vegeta was brought to the village. Nappa looked up finally looking Vegeta in the eyes. "Vegeta I am dearly sorry for not being there when you needed me most, I am sorry I could not save you from Frezia, I am sorry I didn't die that day with everyone!" Nappa couldn't say anymore he was out of words to say.

Vegeta stood there his hands quivering with contained rage. All Nappa had said made sense indeed. It explained much to him but the anger he felt was controlling his actions. He couldn't think or see clearly all he wanted was to hurt the man. Vegeta gritted his teeth and his eye twitched. "You…. You say you are sorry, you say you wished you where there when I needed you… You say these things that mean nothing to me! You bastard I believed you dead! It was that thought alone that helped me in the first four years in my miserable existence! I wanted to avenge you! I would think what Nappa would say, what would he do?" Vegeta started to stalk forward to Nappa. Never taking his eyes off Nappa's. "I laid in a prison! I was chained to a bed! I was beaten, whipped, tortured, and used! I laid there every day, every hour waiting for a rescuer to come save me! That damned daydreams and hopes of a stupid boy praying to all gods holy and unholy for someone to save me! That someone was you!" Vegeta stood in front of Nappa and began to beat on the big man's chest. "I believed you dead! Believing I was the only one left! Come to find out you were not! You forgotten about me! You replaced me with Kakarot! You left me behind with that monster! How…..How could you do that to me Nappa? I loved you, I loved you like a father! And. And you betrayed me! Replaced me like I was some broken toy! Now I am Nappa I was beaten and broken into submission!" Vegeta fell on Nappa's chest trying to stop his sobbing but failed to do so. "Why Nappa? Why did you leave me like that? Why did you allow me to face that alone when you still walked the earth! You replaced me!" Vegeta couldn't speak no longer his throat was dry from his screaming and was tight from the tears.

Nappa held Vegeta tight and sank to his knees. His tears flowing down his cheeks taking in deep breaths they both held one another allowing their emotions take their toll. "I did not replace you prince." Nappa whispered on Vegeta's head. Letting the words sink in. "I am sorry you feel as such Vegeta. I do love you as a child even now." Nappa started rubbing Vegeta's back. "I cannot tell you how much I wish to redo that night. I wished I could have been there. I do my damnest to save you from such a horrible fate. I believed you dead prince just as you believed me dead. I knew you lived when I tracked down the army and was severally injured but I heard stories of Frezia and his slaves how he would have them killed in less than a year. I thought you died prince. I cried nearly nightly over you, I made a burial for you containing gold and silk. I prayed for you to forgive me nightly in hopes the spirit of your young self come to me and forgive me. This has been my biggest burden the wrong I done to you Vegeta."

Vegeta stopped the tears and looked up at Nappa. "Why did you replace me with Kakarot?"

Nappa sighed and touched Vegeta's cheek cupping it in his larger hand. "I did not replace you Vegeta. No one could have taken your spot in my heart reserved only for you. Kakarot was a child and he was orphaned by Frezia like you. I refused Frezia to take away another child's life and took him in with me and Kala. It took me much time to allow myself to love him because that is what I feared. I feared I would try to make him like you. At times I would even call your name instead of his. Vegeta you must believe me when I say I did not replace you, you were always on my mind for years. Until I came here I buried you. I wanted to leave my past in the past and move on with my new family but even then you were still in my thoughts and prayers. It was only a year ago I finally stopped and let you go. Then you came and sent me on the moon."

Vegeta chuckled lightly. "You gave me quite a shock in seeing you again Nappa. It was something I never thought would happen."

Nappa smiled. "Forgive me prince let this old man have peace."

"Yes Nappa you are forgiven. But do not expect things to be the way they once were. It will take much time." Vegeta rested his forehead on Nappa's chest not wanting to move from his position.

Nappa held Vegeta tightly to himself. He didn't want to let him go in fear after all this that Vegeta would be taken away from him again.

Kakarot sat in a tree away from the two watching the scene unfold. He wanted to stop them when he saw Vegeta attack Nappa but he noticed the fist did not have full force. Vegeta just needed to hit something and Nappa was a big enough target. He heard it all from where he was and almost cried with them both at Vegeta's confession to Nappa on how he was treated. Vegeta only gave vague details but even an idiot can fill in those omitted details. Kakarot now understood the scar on Vegeta's thigh. Vegeta was used in the worse kind of way. Kakarot watch the two hold on to each other for comfort. They both had it rough. Vegeta was physically and mentally tortured and Nappa tortured himself mentally never letting the memory of Vegeta go and blaming himself for what happened. Now they both can find their much needed peace.

The rainy season was coming and Vegeta has been running around with Kakarot digging ditches and securing the huts in case a storm would come. Vegeta has been living in the village for months now, he was healed. The people and the children got to him Kakarot knew it. From the women teaching Vegeta how to make cloths he became fond of them. They joked about their husbands and would be sincere with one another. The children adored him and his stories they would chase him around the village to play silly games with him, or to go for a swim at the falls so they could show them their different diving styles. Nappa and Vegeta seemed to get along they would just acknowledge one another and have small conversations mostly about Goten. Even and Bulma and Vegeta seemed to tolerate each other. It was Kakarot's main warrior's that worried him they did not really discussed their feelings of Vegeta being apart of their village. He knew he would have to bring the subject to them soon. Kakarot over the past several weeks he has been feeling very close to Vegeta and not in a brotherly or neighborly way. He wanted Vegeta, Kakarot never felt any of those feelings for anyone not want or lust or need. Those feelings only Vegeta made him feel.

The day he felt the need was when they went to the falls to swim. The water helped eased Vegeta's stiff muscles. They had two tag along the boys it was normal for them to follow they wanted to follow Vegeta. They all swam, splashed, laughed and played. Vegeta at first acted so stiff and called them undignified until the boys attacked him and he joined in the fun. Kakarot was done and went to the bank to let his body dry he watched Vegeta play and laugh with the boys dunking their heads under the water. Kakarot felt a twist in his stomach and he stared he always felt an unknown pull to Vegeta. He watched as Vegeta left the water making his way towards him his body glistening with water droplets he shook his hair to get rid of the heaviness and Kakarot knew the emotions he felt it was like a kick in the face. He wanted Vegeta, he lusted for him, he needed him he loved him. It had to be love no one could make him feel like this, no one could make him so happy, content, frustrated, and angry. No one could make his heart leap or warm like it does when he saw Vegeta doing things that make him happy.

Kakarot didn't know what he could do with the feelings. He was scared to tell Vegeta afraid that he would disgust Vegeta to the point he leaves and everything he has done will be for nothing. Not all men liked men in a romantic way they preferred women. Right now Vegeta was on his knees with his behind in the air as he secured their hut. "Kakarot is it tight enough on your end?"

Kakarot took a big swallow and felt the vine from the top never taking his eyes off of Vegeta's display. He wasn't a quick witted man but Kakarot even knew what Vegeta said can be taken the wrong way and gods knows he did. "Umm yeah Vegeta it is." Kakarot scratched his head.

Vegeta turned his head and looked up at Kakarot the man was stumbling more than usual around him, and he would turn his head away from him time and time again this instance being no different. Vegeta grunted standing up he started to brush off the dirt on his blue baggy pants. Now many of the villagers wore leather hided loincloths to cover their private areas. Vegeta refused to wear such things and would use the dye that is used for coloring the beads, he used it to color the cotton and sow it together making baggy breeches much like Kakarot's.

"Vegeta could you finish up here without me? I need to go and hunt with the others." Kakarot kept his eye's adverted from Vegeta.

"Yes that would not be a problem Kakarot. If I need help I could get one of the brats to give me a hand." Vegeta kept his back to Kakarot more so out of spite. Vegeta was confused as to why Kakarot acted like that towards him.

Kakarot walked away getting ready to gather his main hunters for more than just hunting he needed to speak with them. Getting a spear from a rack in the middle of the grounds he walked only looking back quickly to see Vegeta in a strange position nearly at the top of the hut. He chuckled to himself and continued on his way.

When Vegeta was done securing the hut he did not wish to do anymore he just wanted to relax. Vegeta was beginning to become very frustrated, for the past week it seemed Kakarot avoided him, and he began to wonder if it was because of him. His thoughts raged with questions and answers. Perhaps the man was tired of him living here, maybe he should just leave. Maybe he over lasted his welcome to the village, he was healed now. He could do whatever he pleased. There was something holding him back and he knew what it was, he didn't want to leave. He grew fond of the place he felt content and relaxed. He no longer was on guard, no longer angry, and his limbs never been so loose. He had to do something Kakarot didn't want him around any longer Vegeta could tell by the mans actions towards him. He had to leave it would be better if he done so.

Kakarot, Tien, Yamcha, Krillen, and Nappa sat around in a circle around the boar they killed. Kakarot was the one who made the killing blow by throwing his spear into the boar's neck the pig was massive and would do for the gathering hut tonight. They all joked around about their women Bulma mostly being pointed out because of her antics and moods.

"Ah guys come on she isn't that bad!" Yamcha whined.

"Are you kidding me I sooner face a six headed dragon wearing fresh steaks then face on her on one of her tirades." Nappa slapped Yamcha's back braking full of laughter.

"Yeah Yamcha, Not too long ago she nearly speared your manhood to a tree!" Krillen almost fell on his back due to his own memory of Bulma chasing down Yamcha with his own spear.

"That is a rare thing to happen and you all know this. She is a nice woman kind, giving, and caring. It is Kakarot I feel sorry for. From what I seen and heard Vegeta the almighty lord is worse than Bulma. He got a sour old man spirit from what I hear." Yamcha chuckled taking everyone's attention away from him to their leader.

"Vegeta is a good person. He just needed to see what life can be like to change his ways." Kakarot stopped to look at his men many of them seem to ignore his comment. "Tell me, do any of you have a problem of him being here?" Kakarot waited.

"He is a bad man Kakarot. I still do not understand why you kept him alive!" Krillen grumbled.

"He is changing men, I see it. He doesn't show it but he adores Trunks and the other children." Yamcha said. "I know I really don't speak nicely of the man. At first I thought he was evil and should be killed to Krillen. But then I started to see the changes in him when ever he was around the kids. I hate to admit it but I believe Kakarot is right about Vegeta."

"You young boys do not know what he been through nor will you understand. Just accept it and let the man live in peace he deserves it." Nappa nodded to his own words.

"Kakarot I do not understand how you show such favor to the man. Everything you done was for him, your whole life is revolved around him. Me! your friend and fellow warrior was a after thought to you. I lost my arm in that battle and you visited me three times! What is so special with that man Kakarot?" Tien locked his eyes on Kakarot watching him carefully.

Kakarot placed his hands on his face as he bowed his head. He couldn't lie to any of them and Tien deserved a real answer. Keeping his voice low but steady. "Honestly Tien at the period of time I would not be able to answer that question. I did not know why I worried or cared so much for an injured person I did not know. I didn't know why that man brought out emotions I never felt before. But two weeks ago I knew why. I always felt drawn to Vegeta, I would always feel my stomach tighten and my mind wonder much more than it ever had done in the past. I love him." Kakarot's confessions only cause a small gasp in the small crowd.

"Well now you are really going to be like me and Bulma." Yamcha laughed loudly. "Kakarot be prepared to hide your spear, staff, or any sharp objects. I know for a fact Vegeta will be hellfire."

"What did you and Vegeta agree upon?" Nappa was curious.

"I haven't told him yet. I do not know how to approach the subject." Kakarot groaned.

Kakarot and the others continued their discussion and all came to an agreement. Vegeta was welcomed to them all. Now the men sat around contemplating ways for Kakarot to confess and gain his love.

Vegeta looked around the hut he knew he would have to leave soon to go to the gathering hut. Kakarot had returned from hunting and told him several days before rainy season started the village gathered to celebrate by dancing, food, and legends. Also he told him that he was expected to be there now he was apart of the village. Kakarot left afterwards saying he needed to make sure everything was prepared and he would see him there.

Vegeta was planning on telling Kakarot in those moments he was leaving but the man spoke hastily and rushed out leaving Vegeta there with the information and that was all. Vegeta huffed to himself gathering his mind and thoughts maybe if he talked to Kakarot about building his own hut then maybe things between them wouldn't seem so strained.

Kakarot stood with many men from the village around a fire watching the boar roast to a golden brown. He was anxious over tonight. For tonight he had to make his attentions clear to the village. He loved Vegeta and he will be pursuing him romantically until Vegeta agrees and accepts his feelings or decline him in favor for another suitor. It was law that Kakarot had to speak of his plans. For it gave a clear understanding to the pursued and other potential rivals of what his endeavourer was. It would either work in his favor or against when it came to Vegeta. Maybe right then and there Vegeta would accept him as a perfect life mate, it wasn't unheard of. Sometimes when a man would tell of his courtship to a woman to be his wife, the woman in question would accept his proposal then because he was a fine suitor to her needs. Kakarot believed Vegeta would be a fine life mate he will never forget the night he held him throughout the storm Vegeta's body melted into his, it was as if they were made to fit together by the gods. Kakarot smiled yes tonight he will tell Vegeta of his attentions and hope for the best.

Vegeta walked with the crowd towards the gathering hut wearing his loose black pants, with a tight fitting blue shirt. It took him many mixed dyes to make the color and the looks on the villager's faces amused him. They were in awe at the color change, they were not use to clothing that the lighter skin people wore and thought it very strange that they wished to wear such constricting things. Vegeta was halted by the one woman who annoyed him most.

"Hey there. Why are you dressed like that? Do you want to look your best for Kakarot?" Bulma winked and giggled at Vegeta.

Vegeta made a choking noise in his throat at the woman. "No I did not as if it was any concern of yours."

"Awe come on, it is going to be a special night for you sweet cheeks." Bulma knew she shouldn't tease or hint at what was going to happen later that night but she loved tormenting the man.

"What do you mean a special night for me? My whole process is done." Vegeta wondered what the woman was on. "Did you eat any of those berries or lick a poisonous toad woman?"

"Gods no Vegeta. Just Kakarot got big plans for you." She wanted to laugh outright at the look on Vegeta's face, his brows were drawn together, his mouth was screwed up like he ate a sour melon, and his head was tilted.

"What kind of plans?" Vegeta looked at the woman his eyes were dead set on finding out what she knew.

"Well my husband Yamcha told me Kakarot wants to make you his wife or something along those lines." Bulma grinned. "He said he was going to announce it tonight to everyone, isn't that cute Vegeta? You get to be like all of us women around here." Bulma turned and chuckled leaving a very confused and upset Vegeta behind.

Vegeta knew it, he knew that there were other reasons why he was brought here. Kakarot would make him exactly what Frezia made him, there was no way Vegeta would be someone's pet again. He was about to turn go to Kakarot's hut get his things and leave, but then he thought he should go to the gathering hut for some reason he wanted to see Kakarot one last time before he left. He didn't understand why he just needed to see the man again. Building up his courage he made his way there arms crossed and growling.

Kakarot watched as everyone piled in greeting one another with hugs and smiles. He was looking out for someone in particular the object of his new found desire. Seeing the smile and nods of his friends as a show of support they knew he needed. It was until he finally saw Vegeta. He was standing further back from the crowd leaning against the pole arms and legs crossed. Kakarot's breath was knocked out of him Vegeta was handsome he was wearing a shirt that showed off the curve of his hip and the pants suited him well. Vegeta's dark smoky eyes were locked on his own and Kakarot swore he could just die from the pounding in his chest. He felt a spark of pure energy fill up inside him and he smiled at Vegeta.

Vegeta's eyes widen he felt a shock of some sort ring through his body when their eyes were locked together. Then Kakarot smiled at him. Vegeta turned his head away sinking down to a sitting position he looked down at his hands. He seemed to be pulled towards Kakarot, the childlike man made him feel good, he made him open up and talk even when he did not want to, he was worried about him. Then he knew why he wanted to see Kakarot again, he loved him. He did not want that, no, he couldn't do it and there were three damn good reasons why he could not. One he would be betraying Broli's memory the only man he thought he would ever love, but he thought didn't he already betray him by leaving him behind years ago. Second Kakarot wanted to make him a bitch, a wife not a partner or life mate but someone to cook, clean, and worship him whenever Kakarot wanted it. No he was not going to be a simple bed warmer again. Thirdly he couldn't allow himself to be with anyone. It always seems to go wrong for him they always seem to have the habit of dying on him. He looked around noticing how late it has become the children were sleeping in their mothers lap and the adults swayed and talked in hushed voices. Vegeta was so lost in his thoughts he didn't realize how much time has past or how Kakarot kept watching him ever so slowly making his way closer to him.

An older man stood the villager's wise man striking his staff to the floor he asked. "Anyone here with any new stories, idea's, what your future plans are, with child, or proclaiming love please take the floor."

Vegeta watched as a new couple stood giving the news of an unborn child coming to their family. Vegeta watched as Kakarot was about to stand and quickly jumped from his sitting position. Everyone's eyes were on him and the confused look on Kakarot's face. Kakarot knew Vegeta had done that on purpose, Vegeta seemed lost in his thoughts until the wise man gave the floor for all to speak Vegeta kept his eyes on him.

Vegeta stood taking in everyone he tried to look as calm as possible. "Thank you all for taking me in and healing me even after all the terrible things I have done. You have my deepest thanks. I wish to inform you all that I will be leaving tonight." The people were in shock, everyone was they did not expect that. They were too lost in their own questions they did not stop Vegeta to question him as he walked out of the hut.
