Chapter 17 � Illness

A soft purr
erupts from the mess that used to be a bed. A tail coils up, then settles down
again.

�If I wasn�t dead
already, you would�ve killed me, Vegeta.� Radditz speaks to Vegeta�s mind with
reassuring ease.

Vegeta chuckles
lazily. �You�ve always been a weakling, Radditz.�

�And you like
it.�

Radditz rolls
over and faces Vegeta.

�I told you I
have to talk to you,� he says in a serious tone.

�Feel free to
talk,� Vegeta says, yawning and stretching, finally resting his head on his arm
and looking Radditz in the eye.

�I�m worried
about Kakarot,� Radditz states bluntly.

�You should, he�s
an idiot,� Vegeta growls. �He should keep his distance.�

Radditz gives him
a sad smile. �You really don�t want to see it, do you?�

�See what? It�s
just a crush, it will pass. He just has to get over it.�

�Why get over you?
You want him!� Radditz looks at him angrily.

�You forget your
place, soldier,� Vegeta glares daggers at him and abruptly gets up.

�What is this, a
conspiracy of the crew of matchmakers? Why are you and Toorah so eager to get
us together? You�re my Saiyan family, even though our bond wasn�t one of
choice.� Vegeta almost rips his pants when he puts them on. His muscles are
tightening with frustration.

�Kakarot is a
very sensible choice, Vegeta,� says
Radditz, keeping his cool even though Vegeta�s insulting him by reminding him
of his status.

�Well I don�t
feel like choosing for Kakarot,
Radditz! He�s only a low class!�

�You�ve been
saying that to yourself so many times that you almost believe it, don�t you?
It�s a lie and you know it. Hell, he�s become stronger than you are! Why reject
him? It�s obvious that the bond has already been established partly. That�s why
you�re overreacting to the subject so much.�

�What would you
know of bonding?� Vegeta spits. Fire burns in his eyes.

Radditz sighs and
looks up to Vegeta.

�More than you
do, my Prince.� Radditz�s voice echoes inside Vegeta�s mind as he shows Vegeta
images of something he has never revealed to his lover before.

Vegeta gasps. �A
deep bond? With a fellow soldier?� Vegeta falls to his knees as he sees how
Radditz�s partner is brutally crushed by Zarbon.

�It hurts� Kami
it hurts. How come� you never told me this?�

�I was saving it
for the right time. You don�t realize what a bond can do for you, Vegeta.
You�re still searching for rest, for someone to quiet that war in your head. It
almost disappears when I�m with you, but not completely.�

�What are you
trying to tell me, Radditz?� Vegeta asks hoarsely.

�I was never the
one for you, Vegeta. Kakarot is. You two have already made your choice, but
your stubbornness is killing him right now! He will die if you don�t do
something fast. It has already begun� Sense his energy, Vegeta, and you�ll know
what he�s going through.�

Vegeta reaches
out for Kakarot�s ki and feels it.

�Kuso�� he
whispers.

Crouched down
under the trees, he sniffs the air. The cave must be near, he can smell it. A
crazed grin flashes across his face. Kill it.

A bear emerges
from the mountainside. It walks towards the stream, but then stops dead in its
tracks. It stands up on his hind legs and roars. Something has entered its
territory� and it doesn�t like it.

Kakarot jumps out
of the bushes and attacks the bear head on. He�s not using his ki, just his raw
strength. Soon the bear and Kakarot roll over the forest ground, both fighting
for their life.

The bear takes
the upper hand and prepares to give the intruder the final blow. Kakarot grins
widely as he welcomes it� but then the bear freezes and crashes down on the
ground.

�What the��
Kakarot shoves the dead weight off of him and gets up, bleeding badly. His body
feels hot, the fever is getting to him again.

�You look like
you need to pass out, Kakarot,� a familiar voice says from behind his back. The
world becomes black as he receives a hard blow to the back of his head.

Vegeta looks down
on his fellow Saiyan. Bloody, beaten and barely any clothes on him. He�s lost a
lot of weight and his hair limps down from his head.

�Kakarot,� he
whispers softly, �what have I done to you?�

He carefully
picks him up and carries him deeper into the woods.

Kakarot wakes up
slowly. He smells a strong scent, but his brains refuse to work with him to
recognize it. His mouth waters as he realizes he smells food. Cooked food.

He tries to lift
his eyelids, but they are very reluctant to open. Finally he manages to open
his eyes. He�s back in the cabin in the woods. He�s lying in bed, with sweat
pants on, his wounds are bandaged. The mess he�s made in the past weeks has
been cleaned up. And, what�s more important, his head feels clear of
distractions. He doesn�t feel the need to go out and kill something or someone.

�So, your fever
has finally given up on you.�

There, in the
doorframe, stands Vegeta, arms crossed over his chest.

�You�� Kakarot�s
voice deepens as his eyes darken. How dare he?

�Confused? You
should be, considering what you went through. I never knew that Saiyans could
actually die from rejection.�

�I�m still
alive,� Kakarot growls. �But trust me, in a few moments you won�t be.�

Vegeta laughs at
him. �You�re the one to talk! You look like a reincarnation of the Mummy.
You�re in no condition to get out of bed, let alone fight someone.�

�Watch me,�
Kakarot growls as he throws himself at Vegeta, who is too late to block him.
Kakarot�s fist connects to his jaw and he stumbles back, blood trickling from
his mouth.

�You�re going to
pay, Vegeta. For what you did to me you need to be annihilated. When I�m
through, there won�t be enough left to send you to Otherworld. Not that I think
you have a soul anyway.�

Kakarot
approaches Vegeta like a predator, ready to kill his prey.

�Are you INSANE?�
Vegeta shouts. �I�m here to help you, Kakarot, not fight you! Our rivalry is
over!�

�Is it? I don�t
think so, Vegeta. I think it has only just begun. Since I�ve always been
holding back on you, today is our very first fight. Trust me. It�ll be your
last.� A gleam of madness is in Kakarot�s eyes as he grabs Vegeta by his
throat.

�You�re not
yourself, Kakarot. You�re still sick! You need to rest� Regain your strength��
Vegeta starts choking.

�Rest? What for?�
Kakarot switches to telepathy as well. �I�m fine, really.�

He plants his
foot into Vegeta�s stomach, sending him through several trees.

�Now let�s finish
this once and for all.�

�If this is what
you want, this is what you get, Kakarot! My patience doesn�t last forever.�

�HAAAAAAAAAA!!!�
Vegeta emerges from a pile of tree trunks, flaring his golden battle aura.

�It�s about
fucking time,� Kakarot mutters before charging up too. Due to his illness, he
can�t power up past SSJ 2 though.

�Still holding
back, I see,� Vegeta mocks him inside his mind.

�Shut up, you son
of a bitch. I could take you with my arms tied behind my back.�

�Really? Let�s
try that.� Vegeta fires his famous ring shots with the intention to staple
Kakarot to a wall again, but it doesn�t go as planned. Kakarot stretches out
his hands and the ki rings freeze mid air. They start to glow red as they
charge up.

�Nice try. But
now they�re mine!�

Before Vegeta
knows what hits him, the rings close around his wrists, ankles and neck.

�Impossible!�

�No, Instant
Transmission.� Kakarot smirks evilly. He stretches out his hand again and the
rings tighten around Vegeta�s body.

�Uunnnhh� You
son� of a bitch! I won�t� give up� that easily�� Vegeta is silenced by a fist blow
to his face.

�Feels nice, huh,
you slut?� Kakarot�s face is a mask
of hatred. �All that talk of humiliation because I became stronger than you�
BULLSHIT!!! You have no idea what the concept �humiliation� means! You rejected
me! You dared to reject me, knowing I�d eventually kill myself over you! And
then, you would have finally defeated me, like you�ve always wanted to. First
you seduce me, then you reject me. I�m beginning to understand Frieza�s point
of view.�

Vegeta�s blood
becomes icewater as he hears what Kakarot implies.

�You can�t be
serious. Don�t compare yourself to Frieza, Kakarot. You�re not like him!�

Kakarot�s insane
grin grows wider. �You think so?� His dark voice echoes through Vegeta�s mind.
�You hurt my feelings, Vegeta. You shouldn�t have.�

Dark clouds
gather over the two warriors as Vegeta helplessly struggles against his
restrainers. Kakarot powers up to his maximum as he prepares to fire a blast.

�Let�s play, Prince.�
