Hakkyou chap14

Vegeta flew onward, untroubled by the weight of his burden as Trunks and Goten flew after him.

"Uh, Vegeta? Me and my father can fly on our own you know." Gohan commented. Vegeta snorted.

"I�m not letting the baka have the chance to try and go back to that insane woman of his, I will no longer let her treat my subjects like they are pathetic children! Saiyajin are a proud race and I will not let you and your baka father shame our heritage!" Vegeta snarled. Gohan was flatly amazed at how Vegeta was acting. Normally Vegeta was only concerned about his own pride. Goku didn�t say anything. He was too distracted by Kakarotto swearing, loudly, creatively, and constantly, inside his head.

"Father!" Trunks� voice finally caught up to the group and Gohan turned his head, blinking in surprise at the two chibi following the group.

"Trunks! Goten! What are you doing? Mom�s going to kill you!" Gohan was worried, Goku could handle Chi-chi�s wrath, and Gohan could easily make up with her, but Goten could get in serious trouble!

"Not if I have any say about it." Vegeta muttered in a voice Gohan barely caught over the rushing wind.

"Ouji-sama!" the deeper voice of Kakarotto called out "Who�s that following us? I recognize your son, but I don�t know the other, why does he look so much like me?"

"I thought you could access the baka�s memories!� Vegeta snapped, �Ask him!"

Well, Gohan thought dryly, so much for him being a nice guy. Oh wait, he�s never a nice guy.

"Well baka, anything to say?" Kakarotto mumbled under his breath.

That�s my son, Goten. Goku informed his confused counterpart, Looks just like me, doesn�t he?

"No, he looks just like me." Kakarotto murmured, "You seem to forget that this is my body."

If you say so, but I did live in it for a long time. It�s really both of ours. Goku attempted to reason.

"I am not going to share my body with you forever! What if I want a mate? How am I going to explain you to a potential mate?" Kakarotto growled.

But you�re kinda young to have a wife... Goku�s tone implied an �aren�t you?� at the end of his statement.

"Well, as young as I was before, I�m grown now, and have to adjust to it. And Saiyajin are ready to take mates younger than most other races. Usually around eight to nine standard years." Kakarotto told Goku.

Eight to nine standard years? Goku was confused How long is that in Earth years?

"Uh..." Kakarotto sweatdropped "I�m not sure. I�d have to ask the prince. Ouji-sama!"

"What?!" Vegeta snapped.

"How old would a Saiyajin be in Earth years before he�s old enough to take a mate?" Kakarotto asked.

Vegeta nearly fell right out of the sky.

"...Ten to twelve. Why?" Vegeta had to admit, he was curious what had prompted the question.

"I was just telling the baka that Saiyajin can take mates younger than most races." Kakarotto responded.

"Hn." was Vegeta�s only comment.

Ten to twelve? Goku was surprised Humans don�t get married until they�re at least eighteen! And they�re expected to wait longer than that!

"What? That�s old! Most races take mates much younger than that! ...And why do you keep using words like �wife� and �married�?" Kakarotto asked.

Well, uh... Goku would have blushed if he�d had control of the body, then recited what Chi-chi had told him about marriage; When two people love each other very much they get married and then they live together. The guy is then called the �husband� and the girl he married is called a �wife�.

"Oh. So becoming mates is referred to as �getting married�? And a guy and girl together are called a husband and wife... What about when two females or two males get together?" Kakarotto asked.

Huh? But Chi-chi said only a guy and a girl can get married! Goku said.

"Beh, must be a human custom. Another bit of stupidity of theirs I guess. Saiyajin can take anyone they want as a mate, male or female." Kakarotto closed his eyes and sighed "Now I�m old enough to get a mate for myself, and because I�m stuck on this stupid planet; half my options are cut off because of some idiotic human custom against same-sex mating!"

Goku wasn�t listening.

Guys and guys can get together...?

Vegeta flew on for quite a ways, over mountains and forests and finally out over the ocean. Several hours after they had left the women, the group landed on a jungle island out in the middle of nowhere.

They had landed in the middle of a clearing up against a cliff. In the cliff wall, on a ledge about twenty-five feet up, was a door set into the rock. A few dozen yards off to the left of the door was a waterfall cascading down the stone, falling into a good-sized pool of water that drained into a stream off into the forest.

As they landed, several deer and a family of wild pigs jumped from where they had been drinking and rolling around in the water to bolt off into the forest. Everyone except Vegeta stared around in wonder at their surroundings.

"Wh-what is this place?" Gohan was looking rather stunned as Vegeta released him, and he wobbled on his feet before catching his balance.

Kakarotto dropped flat on his face.
"Oof!"

"Hn." Vegeta smirked, chuckling under his breath as Kakarotto pushed himself up and looked around.

"Dad! Are you ok?" Goten asked, rushing over to the fallen Saiyajin.

"I�m not your father kid. He�s in here, but I ain�t him." Kakarotto narrowed his eyes at the chibi, silently trying to threaten him away.

"Then I want dad to come out!" Goten planted his feet firmly and glared at Kakarotto "You let my dad out right now!"

Kakarotto sighed. This was not ending up to be a good day for him.
