Vegeta chuckled. "Must be hell to have two other guys stuck in your head."
"Tell me about it. The idiot keeps saying I should go to New Namek for a visit - see how other Nameks live."
"We can't afford to leave Earth unprotected," Vegeta said quickly. He frowned. For some reason, it almost sounded like a good idea, but doing so would endanger his adopted planet.
"Yeah, that's exactly what I told him. It's not a good idea. The planet would be endangered. It isn't safe."
Vegeta raised an eyebrow in question at his answer. It had echoed his thoughts almost exactly.
"Look, I don't want to talk about it, alright?" Piccolo said tersely.
"Sure, Elf-boy. So are the women coming?" he asked, changing the subject.
"Yeah. Tomorrow. Does Goku know?"
"Not about these..." he pointed at the box. "But as far as telling them...yeah. It's weird - he's this strange mix of happy, sad, scared, hopeful... This might not be the right method - me telling them - but the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced it is the right thing to do."
"You two are so fucked up, you know that, don't you?" Piccolo said, shaking his head.
Vegeta grinned and scratched the back of his head.
"Damn it! Look! You're doing it again! Knock it the hell off!"
Vegeta looked at him in confusion. "Doing what?"
"You asshole. Look where your hand is."
Vegeta paid attention and his eyes widened in momentary alarm before he shrugged. "Bond, that's all."
"That's all? Vegeta, do you even know when it happens?"
"Sometimes."
"What if it gets worse, or you two swap permanently, or something stupid like that?"
He chuckled. He usually noticed when it happened, but even when he missed it, it didn't bother him much. Kakorr seemed to be coping with it as well, so he wasn't going to get too concerned yet. Mostly it was just little flashes of weirdness. "One issue at a time, Namek. The chip is finished. Brainwashing next. Then I worry about our bond."
"Are you still planning on mating with Goku? What did he say?"
"If I can find out how. But I'm not asking him until whatever Frieza did to me is taken care of. It's supposed to be a strong mental connection and I'm concerned the brainwashing might affect him somehow. This has been hard enough on him as it is. If it turns out it can't be removed...I won't raise his hopes - I can't mate with him and risk exposing him anymore of this."
"Well, we - Kami and I - haven't been able to find out anything yet, but at the moment I'm only working on it when I can't stand thinking about the damned lizard anymore."
Vegeta picked up the box and got ready to leave.
"You'll be close?"
"Yeah. Don't worry Shorty, things will work out."
Vegeta nodded and flew away.
------------------
"Vegeta...is this the best way?" Goku asked, no longer sure he agreed with his prince's decision. Vegeta and Bulma in the same room? He knew his prince really cared about her, no matter what he had said and done in the past. It was even more apparent now that they were no longer together. What if something went terribly wrong?
Vegeta turned and looked at him with his intense jet eyes. "I'm telling them. You are right. The w- Bulma may be able to help. And I want you to be able to talk to...Chichi without worrying about keeping secrets."
Goku sat on the couch heavily and looked up to see Vegeta studying him carefully.
"Tell me - would this hurt you the way you were when the Nameks read my memories? I won't do it if it hurts you."
"No... I don't think so... but..." He didn't object to Chichi knowing - since returning after Buu they had developed a comfortable friendship. He trusted her and knew she wouldn't laugh at him. He wouldn't have to keep pretending - that was getting harder to do around her.
"Kakorr...I need to do something to help you. I'm tired of protecting my pride at your expense."
All he could do was open and close his mouth, shocked speechless. He knew Vegeta loved him - but he would forget his pride...for him?
Vegeta smirked at him. "It looks like I've found another method besides kissing to keep you quiet."
"But Vegeta," he protested, ignoring the comment. What would Bulma do? He didn't want her to ever hate his prince. What if she didn't understand? "What if Bulma-?"
"Hates me? It might be safer for her in the long run. I'll deal with it, Kakorr. She's your friend - she won't blame you, no matter what."
He just stared. What could he say? Vegeta knew how he felt - no words could express it. Vegeta was exposing himself for him and he was grateful, proud, and very, very afraid for his prince.
Vegeta's hand cupped his cheek, sliding back to tangle in his hair, tilting his head back. ::I'm worried too, Kakorr. But you are right - it has to be done.:: His prince bent down, pressing the heat of his lips against his own and for that moment all he could think of was how his tongue was a flame and his kisses burned.
When he broke the kiss, Vegeta continued to look at him with a dark intensity and Goku suddenly felt uneasy. Vegeta wanted something from him...and was worried he would refuse.
"I want you to put these on me, Kakorr," he said seriously, producing a pair of ki-restraint cuffs.
"No!" he said, horrified. "No Vegeta. I can't. I won't." He remembered how helpless he felt with them on. Just being around them made him sick.
"Listen to me. I don't know why, but you currently aren't strong enough to stop me if something goes wrong. I don't want it to turn into a battle - I don't want you to get hurt," Vegeta said calmly.
Goku blanched. He had hoped Vegeta wouldn't have noticed, but after he had lost that spar so miserably... Vegeta's ki had gone up as he recovered - his increasing confidence and happiness had caused a huge increase. Meanwhile, his was slipping. Krillin hadn't affected it much, but the latest break with the Kais had caused a big drop. It was almost like Otherworld all over again - but that didn't make sense since he was so close to his prince now. Maybe it was just because everything that had happened was wearing on him and he was depressed. He didn't know if it was real or imagined, but either way he didn't feel as strong. And now...Vegeta couldn't count on him because of it.
"No Vegeta, I can't do that to you. I won't. Those are..." There was no word for what they were - offensive, vile, evil, disgusting. They stole your power and made you weak. Vegeta was strength. How could he even think of using them?
"Kakorr-"
"NO! Think of something else. I won't put those on you."
"You have to," Vegeta said quietly, holding them out.
When he backed off, trying to get away from those things he knew he was being childish. He didn't care. He couldn't believe Vegeta was still being calm and reasonable. His own tail was thrashing wildly, torn between anger and fear. This was the first time they had ever really disagreed about anything and he just wanted to shout 'No!' over and over.
"I can't!" he insisted, his voice cracking and he realized fear was winning.
"Kakorr...I'm running out of time. You know how close I've been to losing control. Even if I don't tell them, I'm going to have to wear them in order to protect-" Vegeta said and he knew his prince didn't want to do this either - he just didn't know any other way.
"Please Vegeta," he nearly begged, "I remember... please don't ask me to do that to you..."
Goku's breathing was shaky as he watched through his bangs while Vegeta studied him - he could feel him comparing their kis. He raised his head in time to see Vegeta placing the cuffs on his own wrists.
"Vegeta - no..." His prince was supposed to be strong. Wearing the cuffs was like making him a prisoner again and the thought of Vegeta being forced to be weak appalled him.
Vegeta ignored his protests and continued adjusting the cuffs. Goku felt his ki waver before settling on a level equal to his un-powered state.
"Put your thumbs here," Vegeta said with a calm Goku knew he didn't feel, holding out his wrists.
"No," he whispered. Vegeta would be weak, helpless, trusting him to be strong enough to protect him.
Vegeta looked up at him with dark eyes filled with desperation and Goku knew his prince hated this as much as he did. "Please Kakorr - do this for me. I don't want to hurt anyone else because of the lizard. I have to help you. I need to be able to see my son again. I will do anything."
He closed his eyes and swallowed hard. If he did this, the cuffs would be locked onto Vegeta; his ki suppressed, his massive power not available to him.
"I hate this, Vegeta," he said, pressing his thumbs into the locks.
"I know Kakorr - so do I."

I hurricane-free weekend. Might as well make the best of it. *g*
Jessjess - I felt bad for poor Chichi. I'll grant you, she was a total and complete bitch in the show, but sometimes there are reasons. I haven't even thought of a reason to bring Krillin back into the story, so no Krillin kicking yet. Hurricanes are just the price of paradise.
kitsuneakai13 - Ahhh...Bulma and Chichi's reaction is chapter 10. I had it nearly done, but I decided I didn't like the point of view, so I'm rewriting it. The more I think about it, the more I think I'm going to keep Piccolo asexual - which incidently, isn't the same for everyone who is.
Velvet Curse - Poor Goku - he has issues with strength and weakness. He can ask for help, but he doesn't want to be seen as being physically weak in anyone's eyes. He isn't as bothered about being raped as he is about being unable to fight back.
macha - Chichi and Goku's relationship has changed and they are now best friends, especially since Krillin dumped him. Him talking to Piccolo would be too much like putting the Namek in the middle of Vegeta and him. Once the women know, things are going to change very quickly. I've decided to leave Piccolo on his own. I had written a huge, angsty bit that came out of nowhere, but I threw it out - it had no place in this story.
suisheu - This chapter mentions where Bulma got the backup copies. The next few chapters are going to be rough on the Saiyans - Vegeta meeting the women has a price.
Zack the Sayanjin - Oh, I've done that. Sat and devoured huge stories in one sitting. How's this for a fast update? I'm back to my normal update speed, I think. Ah, you've got to joke about hurricanes since you can't stop them. I feel bad for those people who lost everything - I was lucky and only inconvenienced. Frieza makes a wonderful villan - even better than Cell or Buu, I think. I don't know about the one-shot...I don't know if I am capable of writing het sex *g* - but I will let the idea cook in the back of my head.
Will - Their bond is affecting Vegeta in ways he never anticipated - he cares, but because of Goku's influence he is displaying it. Yeah, I need my own personal Chichi sometimes. Your comments made me re-examine Chapter 10 and make some changes - brought Chichi from out of the background. Piccolo will remain a loner for now - his friendships are enough for him. As a kid growing up, hurricanes were cool, but as an adult you realize what damage they can do.
Goth_Girl - Thanks. Maintaining, my first epic was started in October 2003 and finished July 2004. (45 chapters) Quest was started in July, and I have posted 9 chapters so far - I'm not sure how long it will be when it is done.
VegetasSquee - Yes, Goku will come to terms with what happened to him, and will be happy again.
Elenek - Threw off the Sunday update schedule here. *g* I think you will be satisfied with the women's reactions - but things will be tense. I got lucky - no hurricane Ivan in South Florida. But I'm sorry for all those people on the islands and the Gulf who lost everything.
Kethry - Yes, Goku hides alot behind that grin. Vegeta knows it though, and lets him get away with some, but not all of it - we all need our defense mechanisms. Vegeta is much better now about paying attention to Goku's feelings. I have decided to skip the Piccolo pairing. It has no place in this story, and I am not a fan of OC with main characters. (Yeah, I know I have Rezu, but she is basically background - I despise Mary Sues.) I actually do see Piccolo as asexual in most stories (although Vegeta and Piccolo have become my second favorite pair after Goku and Vegeta). Dende... well, if I were going that way, I do see him as being sexual - but who to pair him with is a problem. Can't you just see him as a Peeping Tom?
