Chapter3

Vegeta, ki kept low, surveyed the scene before him.

Must be his grandfather's house he thought.

The house was very oriental in style, nothing like a capsule house. It seemed
to have been in existence for years. The house sat next to a lake in mid middle
of a vast forest. Years ago, someone had cleared out the area around the house,
leaving an expansive clearing. A swift river flowed from the lake and through
the clearing in the front of the house. Vegeta watched from the woods across
the river.

Just then, Kakarot came from the woods carrying a stag over his shoulder.
Vegeta watched in wonder as Kakarot butchered the animal and prepared it to
roast over a fire. He smirked to himself. Who would have thought that Kakarot
knew how to dress a kill and actually took the time to do it?

Deftly, Kakarot spitted the dead beast and started a fire beneath it with a ki
blast. Vegeta watched him a moment longer, the smell of raw meat drifting
toward him. He stopped his stomach from growling just in time. He turned
quietly and walked away.

He may have is ki low, but the other Saiyan would definitely hear a rumbling
stomach. Glancing back to the peaceful setting and roasting meat somewhat
wistfully, Vegeta continued into the woods. First, he'd pick a place to set up,
then he'd eat. He'd deal with Kakarot later.

~~~~~

Sometime later, miles from the peaceful clearing, Vegeta stood thinking.



This should be far enough. I'll just fly back in, to that tiny clearing I saw,
and set up my house. That baka will sense my ki and think I have just arrived.



He chuckled to himself as he took to the air, imagining the look on Kakarot's
face when the goofy Saiyan found him.

~~~~~

Goku looked up at the sky.

What's he doing here? The wild-haired Saiyan grinned. I haven't seen
Vegeta in forever!

He took to the air, forgetting all about his infatuation with the dark prince.
Goku had been alone at his grandfather's house for so long that the thought of
company overshadowed all else. With a happy grin, he set off for a visit with
his long lost friend.

~~~~~

Vegeta smirked as he heard feet touch down.

"Vegeta!" He turned and found himself wrapped in burly arms. "I
haven't seen you in forever! Whatcha doin here? This is great! We can spar and
go fishin and huntin and everything!" All this was said as Goku picked
Vegeta up in his arms and spun around in a circle.

"Hey! You hungry? I just started cookin! Let's go to my house!" And
before the stunned Ouji could say a word, Goku transmitted them back to his
house.

Back at his house, Goku set Vegeta down. His arms still tingled everywhere he
had touched the prince. He smiled down at the prince, but his smile quickly
left.

The scowling prince reached out and smacked him right in the face.

"Baka! Don't you think I was doing something! I don't usually stand around
in the middle of the woods and do nothinake ake me back! Now!" Vegeta
yelled.

Goku's head bowed. "Gomen nasai, Vegeta. I didn't think," he mumbled.
"I was just so happy to see you." He felt tears prick his eyes.
"I'll take you back." Slowly he took the two steps it required to
reach the prince and held his hand up to his shoulder. His eyes flicked to
Vegeta's face.

Vegeta gasped inwardly at the hurt in those black eyes. My only somewhat
friend, happy to see me, and I do this. I'm the baka.

Suddenly they were back at his clearing. Vegeta grabbed Goku's hand before the
other Saiyan could leave.

"Gomen, Kakarot. I reacted without thinking."

Goku stared at Vegeta from where he had fallen to the ground in his amazement.

Vegeta stared at him for a moment. "Baka," he smirked. "I'll
come by when I finish here."

Goku jumped up, an ecstatic grin on his face, and ran to clasp the surprised
prince in a fierce hug again.

"Hands off! You do not hug the Saiyajin no Ouji!" Vegeta roared.

Goku laughed nervously, hand scratching the back of his head. "Gomen
Vegeta. I got carried away." He ignored his tingling flesh. "See you
later then!" And with that, he disappeared.

Vegeta grinned to himself. It had worked out better than he imagined. He had
met up with Kakarot, who was happy to see him, and had even been asked to share
some of that wonderful looking stag he had seen. All was going well.

He glanced down and rubbed his chest. His skin still burned where the taller
Saiyan had pressed against him. A faint earthy scent wafted up from his shirt.
Vegeta's nose lifted, relishing the scent. Earthy, and Saiyan. He was surprised
to feel himself swell.

Blushing slightly, he pulled his capsule case from his pocket. Better to set up
his house and wait a while. He couldn't rightly go back now, not in this
condition.

AN: Okay, rolling along. What happens next? Ya got me. As to the whole short
chapter thing, this was an experiment in short chapters to see how I would do
and if I would like it. I don't. I hate it. I hate reading short chapters, too.
Blah! Anyway, this particular story, since it's already finished, will remain
short chaptered. My future fics will most definitely be as long as I want them
to be. :-P
