***

Christine and Jeannie had discovered the best local hangouts within a month of arriving to this dimension. Over the year they spent in Vegeta's training, they scoped out their favorite bars, pool halls, and shopping malls. Many a free afternoon was spent shooting nineball with a good cigar and a brew. Since Christine didn't drink, she often substituted sprite or diet coke while Jeannie chugged a Killian's Red.

After Nappa and Radditzu arrived, they were encouraged strongly by Bejita to include the two Saiyans in their treks. Reluctantly at first they had taken both males to their watering holes in the hopes to get them more acclimatized to earth's culture. By far the most difficult part was finding them suitable civilian clothes. Both males were easily eight feet tall with boxer/wrestler sized chests, so most of their jeans and T-shirts were custom made by Buruma's tailors. Before long, Radditzu settled on a leather biker look, while Nappa had opted for traditional T-shirt and tight bluejeans with hiking boots.

Today the foursome was simply an intrepid duo. Black Widow and Nappa were the solitary players of a game of pool in a West City pool hall called 8 Ball Haven. Already Christine had cleared half the table, and waited on the side for Nappa to sink his third stripe without overshooting.

"Don't send the balls flying," she joked, watching him lean over and wrap massive fingers around the cue. Muscles bulged under his tight wifebeater while he bent over double almost to pull back his cue. A carefully controlled crack sent the balls spinning in opposite directions. To her surprise he sank a seven and an 11.

"Please, the Prince would have my ass on a platter if we had to have him foot the bill for another pool table," Nappa snorted, leaning up. He pointed with the end of his stick towards the corner pocket.

"Nine ball� corner pocket�"

"That's the only thing you'll sink with me," Christine joked.

"Ha ha, little female, we'll see," Nappa leered teasingly at her. He picked up a lit stogie and took a long swallow of the smoke. A minute later he let it pour out of his lips and curl around the room in a haze about his bald head.

"Seriously, you know I have a mate� I'm relieved you're finally getting it through your chrome dome�" Christine joked back. Unfortunately he narrowly avoided the nine while trying to keep ash from landing on the felt.

"Kuso," he gritted, placing his cigar in the ashtray again next to her lit Marlborogh Menthol. She took the cue from him, and watched him rub the ash out of the table and onto his jeans.

"Whoops! Luckily that's nothing compared to what I've seen Jeannie do by accident," joked Christine.

"Speaking of, she sure seems to be keeping to herself lately. Female troubles? Dragon's time of the month?" Nappa joked.

"I'm not telling. And what's the deal with Radditzu anyway? He's acting really reclusive lately! Tomique's been keeping her hands off�"

"You noticed too huh? I've got to put up with Radditzu's pissing and moaning all last week about how he's not getting any�" Nappa said.

"Nappa, I realize that you're set in your ways, and we don�t always see eye to eye� but I like to consider that we're at least trying to get along� and considering that you finally have your mate back, that releases the sexual tension."

"Which is a good thing, little lady�" he said with a grin. "Even though you've made it clear you're off limits� Great Oorzu curse it� if I wasn't a mated Saiyan I'd�"

"I'll take it as a compliment�" she chuckled.

"It was meant as one," he nodded, watching her ass as she cracked the eight ball into the side pocket.

"Cool. But back to the subject at hand� I'm worried about them, and I'm sure you must be as well, even though you're sometimes a major asshole� we've got to do something�"

"No kidding. I have to work with him, remember? The last thing I wanna see is my comrade at arms cut off from a good thing�"

"Yeah. She's my best friend, and I don't want to see her upset any more than you want to see Radditzu having a bad time. I think we should do something to get them back together� don't you? I mean you do care about him in your own way�"

"Yeah, although the 'c' word's not in a Saiyan vocabulary� at least when it comes to me talking about a fellow soldier. I've got a few ideas, but since you're volunteering your help as a partner in crime� other than my mate�" Nappa said.

"Within reason� as long as I get a good piece of the action� not THAT action�" she said, putting down her cue. She grabbed the glass of soda he handed her, sitting down at the card table nearby. Nappa leaned down into the massive oak chair he'd snagged from the restaurant, which creaked, under his substantial weight.

"Got you. Now Cabernet's stayed behind to work on Tomique, I'll handle Radz. You work on keeping Jeannie out of our hair. Together we'll set those two straight for sure� and have a whole hell of a lot of fun in the process," Nappa grinned.

"Hmm, tell me more�" Christine nodded. She raised her glass of coke to his beer, and they toasted.

"To operation Bonding," said Nappa.

"Here here!" said Christine.

***

Son Goku glanced up into the air from his latest kata. Goten and the twins were following his lead, but stopped at the same time as their sensei. Overhead a gold trail of ki stopped, hovering only fifty feet above the house.

"Are you busy, Kakkarot?" asked Radditzu.

"Uncle Radish man?" asked Bohr. "Where's Mommy?"

"It's Uncle Radditzu," said Fermi, glancing up at him. "Is Mommy okay? She usually comes home with you�"

"Your mother� is staying with the Princess� to do� women things," said Radditzu uncomfortably. He drifted to a landing, twisting his frown into the best fake smile he could muster.

"Uncle, you don't look so happy. In fact you look pretty ticked off� what's wrong?" Goten asked.

"I'm sorry, but I must speak with your father alone� I have some� advice to ask of him�" said Radditzu.

"Won't you play with us?" asked Bohr, rushing up and tugging on his leg.

"Later� boy, I promise," Radditzu said, awkwardly ruffling the kid's hair. He did the same to Fermi, putting his knuckles out for the two sons to play hit.

"Go on inside boys, and Chichi will help get you a snack� if you give her a hand with dinner," Son Goku said. "I'm going to talk to Uncle�"

"Sure thing Dad�" Goten nodded.

"Yes Son-kun-sama," the twins nodded, bowing respectfully before filing behind Goten. Once alone, Radditzu shifted his weight from one foot to the other awkwardly.

"So� what's wrong, Rads?" asked Goku, glancing at his brother. "You look like you lost your best friend�"

"In a manner of speaking I have. My mate refuses to� interact with me� I was wondering if you could�"

" Why don't you spar with me a bit, and we'll compare notes," Goku suggested. Stripping off his jacket, Radditzu threw it aside. Goku and his brother faced off, with familiar stances contrasting their respective schools of martial arts.

"My thanks Brother. We were sparring under the Prince's command, when things went unfavorably�" Radditzu admitted, blocking Goku's first punch. Goku ducked under his kick, and they started to trade more vigorous blows.

"Is that so? Was there anything else going wrong?"

"She� works late in the lab� and often finds excuses to avoid me," said Radditzu. "I smell no other male on her� what have I done to displease her? She refuses to�"

"Did you two have an argument?" asked Son Goku.

"We argue all the time�" Radditzu sniffed.

"No I mean did you have an argument where she ran out crying?" asked Goku.

"She hardly does� but two days ago�" Radditzu grunted.

"Aww man, that sucks. She's avoiding you cause she's hurt. You need to do something nice for her so you can straighten it out� and quick," Goku said.

"She's the one in the wrong!" Radditzu snarled.

"So? On Earth, Females like to be pampered even if the man's right. There's into this talking thing� and if you get her some flowers and take her out to dinner, you can make her happy, and then you two can make up� and she'll listen�" said Son Goku.

"If it were that simple�"

"It isn't, but women like it when their husbands do something nice for them. And it's always flowers, or candy, or dinner� or that romance stuff�" Goku said. "If you like I can ask Chichi for some pointers�"

"That would be� acceptable� and I'd be grateful," said Radditzu, blushing.

"Hey, what's a brother for? I'm glad you came to me for help, cause I want you two happy� after all," said Son Goku. "Now incidentally were you two arguing about where you're gonna live?"

"Yes," said Radditzu. "She wants to live here, and I insisted we relocate to Capsule�"

"Can't you compromise? Stay here on the weekends and there during the week?"

"I didn't consider that�"

"Well, think about it. And while you're doing that, we'll ask Chi for some advice about how you can knock her off her feet with a romantic evening�" said Goku with a wink.

"Goku tell your brother he can stay for lunch!" Chichi called. Both males stopped sparring and nodded. They walked up the hill to the house together, still talking.

***

While Radditzu and Nappa had gone off to get some rest and relaxation, Atomique remained in the GR performing some basic katas. Sweat poured down her forehead, while she swung her fists back and forth. A dull pain started in the base of her back ever since the training session earlier that morning. Out of the lady's locker room door drifted a waft of sweaty floral odor. She blinked, hearing footsteps echoing loudly on tile.

"Who's there?" she asked, swinging around to almost punch Cabernet in the face.

"Nice reflexes. Why'd you wait till NOW to show 'em?" asked Cabernet, blocking her punch with a gauntlet fist.

"Beats the hell out of me," Atomique panted.

"You were pretty sloppy this morning. I guess that's why you're here training while the others are R and R?" Cabernet asked, letting her tail unwrap from her waist to swish lightly around her ankles.

"I've got nothing BETTER to do," said Atomique, letting her hand fall.

"Look, kid, you really need to get the pole out of your ass and listen to your mate," Cabernet said.

"I'm just not going to get this ki shit! Dammit I want so hard to do well�"

"Then just let yourself go. You were a soldier in that other universe, right?" asked Cabernet. "I saw your battle power on my scouter. It wouldn't hurt you to cut loose.

"You Saiyans are built for load bearing, that's the issue too. These moves are for higher gravity�"

"Well, while we've been yacking, the gravity's going up in increments of one," said Cabernet with a grin.

"No wonder� shit� it's heavy�" gasped Atomique.

"I'm sure you can take it. You're stronger than you lead on, with that compact body of yours�"

"What's it at now?" she asked.

"Five. One half Vegetasei normal. Wanna try for ten?"

"Ten� good God�" she groaned.

"You're still standing up� why the hell not�" Cabernet chuckled as Atomique focussed her power. A blur of purple energy swirled around her then permeated her bones.

"Bring it on then� I'm ready," Atomique said.

"What did you just do with your ki?"

"Increased my bone density to that of a Saiyan, naturally," said Atomique.

"Good idea. Now� just cause you increased your bone density doesn't mean you can just expect to improve. You got to work those muscles�" said Cabernet. "Room, try upwards to 1 Bejitasei standard gravity!"

"Affirmative," the computer barked. With a toss of her hair, Cabernet motioned for the other female to join her in the center of the room where large mats were strewn.

"You're working on the basic beta five series. You got to pretend like you've got a tail for your center of gravity. That's your problem," Cabernet pointed out. She moved alongside Atomique, reaching to reposition her hands in the proper kata.

"No wonder," Atomique mumbled. "I'm always screwing it up cause I'm not a monkey lady�"

"Exactly. Now, since you're the right build, but you don't have a tail, you'll have to squat a bit to compensate. Try it with me�" Cabernet said. Nodding, Atomique followed the series of long sweeps of her arms, then a swing of her foot around like a spindle kick.

"Fancy schmancy. Now, let's see if you can take the full 1 Vegetasei G force," grinned Cabernet.

"Swell," said Atomique.

"We're at it now, and you're still vertical. Are you SURE you're just a ningen?" asked Cabernet, glancing at her suspiciously. Her nostrils flared.

"Did I forget to BATHE? I don't stink THAT much," said Atomique with a low frustrated growl.

"Not unless you're afraid of your mate's scent. I could swear you're shitting me with this whole ningen business cause you sure don't smell like one�" said Cabernet, lifting a brow. "Is part of your power adapting other species�"

"I can alchemically change my body. When I was working with Radditzu� I increased my bone density like I just did�"

"Well, whatever the case, you're standing in standard Bejitasei gravity without breaking a sweat. What the hell stopped you earlier?"

"I don't know�"

"I'll tell you what. You stopped bitching and moaning, and started focussing on your true abilities. My scouter says your battle power's up to 1200 even, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. So let's tap into that ki you're putting a lid on�" said Cabernet.

"Okay� fine," mumbled Atomique. A fist flashed out, and she barely raised her own to block it. Then Cabernet followed with a punch that landed in her gut.

"C'mon, are you NAPPING? Show me what you've got," Cabernet said. "Let's see you use some of that oomph to try and beat the hell out of me�"

"Great� I'll just mess it up�" Atomique gasped, dropping down.

"Stop whining and just DO it," Cabernet rolled her eyes. The female Saiyan curled her tail around her waist, and then lunged with a blood-curdling scream. Atomique raised her fists, and then dodged out of the way. She brought her fist down in the center of the Saiyan's back.

"Good. Fight me, and stop dodging!" Cabernet yelled. Atomique suddenly felt a foot slam into her back and she rolled over. Angrily she shoved her feet up to nudge her opponent up off from a flying tackle. Before she knew it, Cabernet had recovered and they were rolling over and over with punches and hits.

"What the HELL are you doing?" Atomique gasped, shoving her hand in Cabernet's face when she felt hands closing around her throat. A big flash of white phosphor exploded, knocking the Saiyan female off of her.

"YES! FINALLY you did something dammit!" Cabernet laughed, sitting up. She was dazed, shaking her head and laying ten feet away.

"You were deliberately pissing me off� to provoke a response�" Atomique realized.

"Yep kiddo. Saiyans fight with their emotions focussed. It's how we use our ki. Instead of getting pissed at you, use that anger against ME. Turn it into ki, and you can't fail. Be the FIRST to attack for a change all right?"

"You gonna take another piece of me?" asked Atomique, raising her hands and circling. Cabernet leapt to her feet, holding her fists in a defensive position.

"Yeah� let's go. That was just a warm up� let's show those idiotic male bakas how you can really fight�"

***

Eventually they stopped to sit down and drink greedily on bottles of water Atomique dragged out of the mini fridge. Around them the room glowed a faint red, while the indicator showed 10-earth g's. Apart from a few bruises and cuts, Atomique was amazed she hadn't been pounded into hamburger by the female Saiyan. Another twinge in her back shot up her spine like fire, causing her to wince.

"Good stuff. And just in time too. Those loud mouthed noisy mates are coming back," Cabernet winked.

"Is THAT what I'm smelling?" asked Atomique.

"Can't miss it�" said Cabernet, chugging the rest of her water.

"So, let me get this straight, they go away for a few hours, and leave US to train?" she laughed.

"You were too busy being pissed off at your mate to enjoy leave, so don't piss and moan to me," Cabernet griped back. She slugged her hard on the shoulder, almost knocking her off balance. A loud buzzing interrupted them, and both glanced up at the screen blaring on.

"So, you two decided to work on that sloppy excuse of a shit form after all?" Bejita asked, glaring down at them from the screen.

"Yes sire," said Cabernet and Atomique, who stood shakily in full Bejitasei 10 g.

"Humph, I see you've been working in normal G's. I'm amazed you're even standing, Atomique. Took you damn long enough to stop pissing away your ki transmuting things�" Bejita grunted, nodding at her.

"Yeah, whatever you say, your majesty�" she panted.

"I suggest you two take a dinner break before you pass out. I expect you to be ready to decide whether or not you're going to pledge your oath of loyalty to me, woman. You've had time to see what is expected of you�"

"Then this is the official yes or no?" Atomique asked.

"Indeed. You and Cabernet clean yourself up a bit and make yourself presentable. Your mates and comrades will be joining us soon in the main Assembly area. Be ready in a half-hour�" said Bejita.

"Understood," Cabernet nodded.

"And be very sure. This is your last chance to back out, Atomique. There is no shame in turning this down, but you seem to have come quite far for a mere ningen�" said Bejita. His face blurred off, leaving the two women standing there.

"Okay, you heard the man, let's get cleaned up�"

"He� didn't tell me I had a second chance�" she whispered.

"It's cause you're a ningen. But I could swear you're bullshitting me girl, because something about you isn't like these other weaklings� maybe in your universe humans are different," mumbled Cabernet. "All I can say is that you're learning to focus that ki to push your body to compensate finally�"

"Ki bolsters the body's systems, doesn�t' it?"

"Yep. Took you THAT long to notice?" Cabernet quipped. She threw a towel at her, and then strode towards the locker room. Atomique winced again at the lower back pain before following her.

Still rubbing her backside, Atomique followed a freshly washed and changed Cabernet to the 'mess hall' of Capsule. Since the increase in Saiyan warriors and students, they had taken most of their meals in this secondary dining area off the training complex where their apartments were situated. Three or four tables were set with massive amounts of food. On the way, Cabernet increased her walking down the circular gerbil tube corridor.

"Hey, what's the big idea?"

"Just take a whiff of who's back," said Cabernet.

"What?" asked Atomique. Someone phased in behind her, for she saw a flicker of numbers appear on her battle sensor. Whirling around she slammed into a familiar tall shape. Wet warmth smeared up and down her hands.

"Well, what have we here?" he purred, catching hold of Atomique. Something smelled of flowers, fresh flowers, bringing a smile to her face.

"Radditzu�" she gasped. He released her, bringing up something from behind his back. Wrapped in a cone of gold and red foil that rustled, he presented a bouquet of red roses. Something warm and moist glistened on their petals.

"I have something for you�" he said, and pressed the sheath of red roses into her hands.

"Aww they're beautiful!" she gasped, holding them close.

"You went hunting you loser! Honestly what are you learning on this planet?" Cabernet snorted as she stood to the side.

"Hunting? Is this� blood?" asked Atomique, lifting her hand to see the red substance coating her fingers. Nappa's harsh laugh startled her, and she glanced up at her mate standing proudly, licking blood from his lips.

"I have something else for you. It should please you� I took the liberty of hunting something fresh� that I think you'll like� because you said you were fond of liverwurst� you should have an appreciation for this," he smiled.

"Uh� you� shouldn't have�" she stammered, struggling to remember just what she'd read about Saiyan culture. "Is this what Saiyans do to say they're sorry?"

"Indeed it is�" he purred, crushing her body to his. She leaned up and kissed his lips again, licking the iron taint of blood from them. A pungent spicy taste hung on her lips, tasting of his unique flavor. Immediately a bolt of desire washed over her, making her ache.

"You're lucky� it looks like venison," said Cabernet. "Is that what they call it?"

"Venison. We got two bucks that they're skinning and cleaning after we gutted them," Nappa crowed. Turning her head Atomique saw him holding a bloody object that appeared to be a heart. He held it up to Cabernet, who moved close to lean over and bite directly into.

"Was that� a heart I just saw?" she asked.

"I apologize that they had preference, but the liver has been saved just for you," he said with a purr.

"How� nice�" she stammered, as he clutched something at his hip.

"I realize you are accustomed to cooked food, but I am sure you can try a bit� it tastes quite good freshly killed," Radditzu urged, moving back and holding up a bit of raw liver that he'd cut into several pieces.

"Liver� oh well� I can handle that�" she stammered, realizing that look in his eyes told her that he'd be crushed and disappointed if she didn't accept. Leaning down she licked the blood off his fingers, letting the iron taste coagulate. Nappa and his mate finished eating the freshly cut venison heart, and licked one another's fingers and faces.

"You like it?" he asked, with a slight smile.

"I like the taste of the blood, but I'm having trouble� biting into it�" she said, struggling not to vomit. Radditzu guessed it was taking much self control for her not to flip, but the sincere gratitude in his eyes showed he was touched she even made such an effort.

"I'll chew it for you, and let you try�" he said. He nibbled on a mouthful for a minute or so, and then leaned over to press his lips to hers. She gasped, almost choking as his tongue stole past her lips and transferred the half-masticated mouthful into hers.

"I� um�" she gasped, swallowing it whole. A faint taste of liverwurst moved over her, and she realized she could tolerate it.

"I had forgotten," he said, biting off another mouthful. "Do you wish for more."

"Actually that's not half bad," she nodded.

"I'm pleased you enjoy it," he purred. Radditzu leaned down once more, pulling her close to share more of this odd custom. His hands traced down her backside as he shared his food with her, and squeezed her rump lightly.

"Hey you whelps, I don't know about you, but I'm starving! So unless you want me to eat your share of the fresh kill and dinner, I suggest you haul your asses into the mess area!" Nappa barked.

***

At the table they all sat, ingesting huge amounts of food. Shakily Atomique dropped into the chair next to Radditzu's. He passed her a piece of bloody meat that would have turned the stomach of a human, but she felt the pungent hunger was far too much.

"Terrific� this venison is the best game I've tasted in a long time!" Cabernet nodded, accepting a few strips that Nappa cut off for her with a large dagger.

"Close to fresh kill�" said Nappa, licking blood from his fingers.

A shadow fell across Atomique's face, and she glanced up to see Christine approaching their table. She wrinkled her nose and quipped, "You guys eat raw meat all the time?"

"When we are training for war, we do," said Radditzu. "Greetings�"

"Hey there Radz. I see you two aren't punching each other's lights out�" she laughed.

"He got me flowers," said Atomique with a whisper and a smile.

"Hey, are you okay?" asked Christine, blinking at her. "You've got BLOOD on your lips� you trying to make fun of my mate?"

"I'm okay, it's just another Saiyan custom Radditzu's introduced me to," Atomique whispered.

"Ohh I see! Good. Don't let Jeannie bug you�" Christine grinned, winking at her.

"I'm not," she said.

"Here, you need protein," Radditzu urged, biting into the meat and then passing it to her. She nibbled on it, getting sick. Slowly she lapped the blood, and then tasted the fresh iron taint.

"That's it� the blood's best when it's running clean," Cabernet laughed. "Humph, I thought I was the only one who liked sucking the blood first�"

"I don't know if I can eat this," she mumbled, trying to chew on it.

"Give it here�" Radditzu said, and bit hard into it. He chewed it a few times to soften it, and then leaned over to transfer the bloody chewed meat into her mouth.

"YUCK!" Christine winced. "Um� no offense guys�"

"I take it you eat more cooked food?" Cabernet asked, biting into a leg of turkey with sharp teeth.

"Yep. Sorry but whatever creams your Twinkie is fine by me. But I'll just have a seat over here if you don't mind�" Christine laughed. "Don�t' want to interrupt you love birds�"

"Suit yourself!" Nappa laughed.

Nappa ate both raw and cooked meat, throwing bones left and right while Cabernet devoured fresh fruit. Each of them was lost in staving their huge appetites. Atomique had finished a few mouthfuls and let Radditzu hand her bite-sized pieces of the raw steak. Before long she was slowly chewing it on her own.

"Better?" asked Radditzu. She nodded, licking her lips.

"Thanks� I felt like I was going to pass out�" she laughed, wondering why of all things she could even palate raw meat. Yet if it was partly broken down by Saiyan saliva, she figured it would have some nutritive value.

"Better eat when you can, fool," laughed Cabernet. "I know cooked food disgusts me, but sometimes�"

"You get used to it," Nappa said. "It's not ALL that bad�"

"It looses its nutritive value when it's cooked," Cabernet said through mouthfuls.

"Why does the Prince eat cooked food then?" asked Atomique.

"Well, Royal like to be more refined. Commoners have courser stomachs and require raw fresh meat. But the fewer additives the better," said Radditzu. "Even he must consume fresh kill once in a while�"

"Huh," she wondered.

"Both cooked and fresh is a good balance," Radditzu said. She felt him grab her hand and lick the juices off it with the fresh blood dripping in her lap.

For the past few hours she was able to smell that stench, and she realized it was coming from Nappa sitting next to her. Nearby, she smelled a lighter muskier scent that seemed to hang on her body, and was distinctly Radditzu. Pungent and heady, it was familiar. Yet the slightly slimy smell and the silky smell came from the direction of her two friends. Was she going mad, she wondered? Especially when she smelled a light floral scent that preceded Buruma and a pong of old spice that accompanied Bejita, with a more delicate male odor.

"I'm going nuts, I must be," she thought to herself. She had used her alchemy to increase her body density, but every since the previous day she felt odd. More aggressive and bitchier then usual. A sharp pain hit the base of her back, and she winced as Bejita announced himself.

"You having some issues?" asked Nappa. "Tell your mate to stop making faces�"

"Mind your own damn business," said Radditzu angrily. "Tomique?"

"I� my back hurts�" she whispered.

"Perhaps we were too vigorous in our� last session?" he asked.

"No I felt fine this morning� it's just� like someone stuck a needle in my spine� and then it goes away�"

"How long has this been going on?" asked Radditzu softly, leaning close.

"Since this morning. When we first got up," she whispered back. "And I swear everything STINKS�"

"Does it now?" he asked quietly. A strange look came over his face, and he blinked hard at her.

"Is something going on that I don't know about?" she asked him.

"You� say you used your alchemical powers to make your bone structure denser?" Radditzu asked.

"Yes," she nodded. "So we wouldn't crush each other when we� mated�"

"That was wise� but did you also use your powers to change your body chemistry?" asked Radditzu.

"I have from time to time," said Atomique. "Changed my own blood chemistry� but it's usually only temporary. The only time recently I've done it was when we were� you know� to make my bones denser� was that something I shouldn't have done?"

"Perhaps there is a good explanation for it, and if it is what I think it is, it will explain everything�"

"Wait, you think I'm pregnant or something?" she whispered.

"Well that is a strong possibility�" Radditzu said quickly with a hint of pride. "But there is another possibility�"

"Such as?"

"I oww!" she gasped, holding her backside.

"Do you require� assistance?" asked Nappa.

"I shall attend to it," Radditzu said. "Come here love� it's all right. Tell the Prince we shall be back� shortly�"

"You sure she's okay?" asked Cabernet.

"I'll make sure of it. Tell him� that we had a mating injury," Radditzu said quickly.

"Right�" Nappa laughed. "But don't take too fucking long!"

***

The pain jarred her deeply as she limped into the restroom. Radditzu was right at her side, helping her to walk. Eventually he picked her up and carried her hastily to sit on the edge of the tub. She gritted her teeth, sobbing as she hugged herself.

"It feels like my spine is on fire�" she gasped, tears forming at the corners of her eyes. Anxiously her mate knelt before her, rubbing her legs with his hands.

"Let your ki flow," said Radditzu. "Here� take my hand. I'll try and help deaden the pain�"

"What's� going on!" she gasped, bending over double.

"I� I'm not certain� but the pain� the pains�" he blinked up at her.

"From the base of my spine� it's like some one shoved something up my ass� I�" she gasped, panting deeply.

"Relax� breathe�" he urged, gripping her hands. She panted and sweated, crying out as he surged his energy through her. Radditzu's eyes widened discernibly when he heard a ripping sound and felt her body jarring.

"I� can't� the pain's so great�" she sobbed, buryring her head in his shoulder. Radditzu folded her in his arms, crushing her close as he buried his head in her hair. At sight of something bulging at the base of her spine, his eyes widened in horror, disbelief and shock.

"Use your alchemy. Synch it to mine� hurry!" Radditzu urged.

"Why�" she stammered.

"Don't argue woman! You'll soon see why� now hurry! Match my ki frequency, and change your blood chemistry to mimic mine� do it quickly!" he called out.

"I�"

"Your body's changing� as we speak. Your body's in a state of flux� all the hormones� you're growing a tail woman�" he gasped as she screamed and bit down on his neck.

"That's IMPOSSIBLE!" she squealed. Her spine itself flared with something that stretched like toothpaste, her bones cracking while cloth ripped.

"Given enough energy� regeneration is possible� it needs more ki� to push it to its extent�" he urged, and flared a massive amount of his energy into her when he saw the movement of something behind her back. Her fingers squeezed accusingly tight on his, and then she felt him drop on the floor, drained of more ki than he expected.

"Oh GOD it hurts like HELL!" she screamed into his shoulder. Then as soon as the pain became unbearable, it faded to a dull ache. A movement attached to her hips made her flinch, undulating her whole back and spine in a way she was unfamiliar with. Out of the corner of her eye she saw something move, and squealed in shock.

"Great Super Saiyan� you� did it� I had not expected� it's impossible for normal ningens� but you've altered your body chemistry� so it mimics� my own�" Radditzu whispered as he slowly got up and she lifted her head form her hands.

"I�" she gasped, as he crushed her to his chest.

"Your alchemy� is based on carbon� well it seems that you've� transmuted yourself� and made yourself a half blooded Saiyan in the process�"

"How in the HELL?" she gasped, pushing him away. Before she could stand, he pressed her down. Something flicked over her shoulders, and she glanced wildly down her back to see a movement of brownish fur. Fear shot adrenaline through her, answering the question of why her whole spine and back was suddenly alive with involuntary twitches.

"How should I know? Perhaps activating ningen genes� I mean the human species is primate based� and those unused bits of DNA must have gotten activated from the change in your blood chemistry� and after all woman you ARE pregnant�" Radditzu gasped.

"Wait� a MINUTE! You mean� I'm pregnant and I just sprouted a TAIL because of that?" she cried, lashing her new muscles, which caused the new appendage to land across her thighs. Reaching tentatively out she felt the smooth fur with the same texture as what was wrapped around his waist. The tip moved spasmodically, and she felt hard-pressed to control it.

"Relax. If it's part of you, you can will it to move� but it seems that it's reflex now�" he muttered.

"You've never been without a tail how would you know?" she asked.

"I've seen the young after birth� before being sent off. They have the same issues you do now," he said with a swallow in his throat. Her tail coiled up, and then lashed in a sideways movement to move the shower curtain aside.

"Your body went to great lengths to try and change, and the collection of hormones it produced to accommodate my� our offspring must have triggered your body to transmute�" said Radditzu. "It's the only logical explanation�"

"Oh SHIT�" she gasped. "It hurts like HELL� and I feel like I want to KILL something!"

"This is incredible love, don't you realize what this means?"

"I'm dead meat?" she gasped. Her tail somehow lashed around and reflexively tightened around his wrist. He hid his amusement, and she groaned even more.

Within her mind she heard a voice echoing clearly. Far more clearly then the times before, Bejita's cry echoed, "Just what is the meaning of this! Where are you, Atomique!"

"I� I'm sorry� I had an accident�" she gasped.

"Radditzu! Where the HELL is that female of yours!" shouted Bejita angrily in both their minds.

"Crap�" she whispered aloud to him.

"Your majesty we will be right out. There is nothing wrong�" Radditzu telepathed back, echoing his thoughts in her mind and the Princes.

"Fine. Just get your ass out of here as soon as you're ready; I've got a pressing engagement of my own. I want the female to give her oath before me."

"Oath?" she asked.

"That's right. I heard about your little training session with Nappa's mate. Apparently you showed marked progress I was not aware of. So I want to know if you're going to go on with this, or drop out," said Bejita.

"I'll be there," she nodded. The Prince's voice faded from their minds, and she looked urgently at her mate.

"Relax� just� just wrap it around your waist for now�" Radditzu urged, trying to keep from touching it. "Easy� whatever you do, don't let ANYONE grab it or touch it our you'll be weak�"

"Shit�" she gasped, as he helped her painstakingly to will the damn thing to stay latched where it was. Biting her lips she felt the iron taste of blood as she bit her tongue.

"Come� it will be all right. I'll explain to him� but for now we MUST join the others�" Radditzu urged, taking her hand and escorting her out.
