It had been a several weeks since he had last saw his lover. He couldn't bring himself to go back to him. Ever since that dreadful night he doesn't think that he could ever bring his self to face any of his friends and family again especially his mate.

The Earth raised Saiyan sat near the edge of the flowing crystal clear lake near his house taking in the pleasant surroundings. He listened to the birds sing while the soft breeze of the afternoon blew through his dark untamed spiky hair.

Goku left his family in order to get his life back together but his was failing miserably. He and Chi-Chi were no longer together, which was a mutual understanding. She finally told him that she was no longer in love with him and that she knew about how he felt about the other person in his life.

She knew that Goku was a loving father and devoted husband and would never do anything to her but in actuality he was hurting her just by denying his self the truth. Goku stayed with her just for the kids but in all honesty Chi-Chi didn't want him to give into his natural instincts, so she gave him an out before it came down to that.

He gave her the house and told her that it was probably best if the boys stayed with her. Gohan was already out the house and married with a child on the way. Well, Goten. Goten was ever present at his best friend's house. Both demi-Saiyans would be starting their first year of college soon. Trunks waited a whole year for his childhood friend to start college so that they could be together.

However, Goku knew the real reason why even if the young teens didn't. He didn't remember much of his home planet, his people, or his culture but the prince did. Vegeta told him about the bond that their kids shared and eventually that they would become mates.

Goku smiled at that thought but his peaceful mind turned back as to why his was living fifty thousand miles away from civilization. He went as far as he possible could. He put up mental barriers and lowered his energy as much as his could so his partner couldn't find him.

He knew that through their bond his mate could feel everything that he was feeling and vice versa. This was something that he didn't want anyone to know about.

He felt so ashamed of what had happened he didn't know if his lover could forgive him for something so sinful. Goku started crying again. It seemed to be the only thing that his did lately. His soft expressive windows were swollen with dark circles underneath them.

He'd lost a tremendous amount of weight. His orange gi hung on him as if he borrowed the clothes from someone else. He had to double tie the blue sash the held up his pants so that they wouldn't fall down. Even his boots were a little loose. He had lost his appetite and stopped training.

His depression was growing each and every day all because of that bastard. Him of all people. The one person that he thought that he could trust.

"Oh, Vegeta. How I miss you" The gentle Saiyan said as his left his spot on the rock and headed inside his house letting his tail drag pitifully behind him.

~oOo@oOo~

The scientific genius muttered another curse as she scraped her knuckles on a piece of metal while reaching for her lost wrench. Her mind was preoccupied it wasn't focused on her work. It was on Vegeta.

The Saiyan prince had been training non-stop since Goku's disappearance, which was causing all sorts of chaos in her household.

Every time she tried to talk to him about Goku he would growl and start ranting about how he doesn't need that baka. In truth, he did need him. Vegeta was slowly starting to unravel at the seems. She knew that Vegeta was in love with her best friend but what stuck her as odd was why would Goku leave knowing the dire consequences of breaking a bond.

Bulma had access Vegeta's ship main computer to find out anything about mated Saiyans and what she found was devastating.

According to Saiyan theorists that if a mated pair whether they're same or opposite sex if one tries to deny the bond that is shared it could prove fatal. The other mate would be subjected to fits of anger; bouts of depression, lost of appetite that could lead up to death if the conflict between the pair is not resolved.

Bulma knew that she needed to find Goku and quick. She paused for a moment to consider what might have driving her friend away. The last time that she saw him or when any of them saw him was at Capsule Corp. annual Christmas party.

She stopped working all together. Something wasn't right. Bulma knew that something or someone scared the world's strongest and she was going to find out what or who but first she needs to find him. She claimed down from the aircraft that she was repairing and wiped her hands on the grease rag that was hanging out of right hip pocket of her overalls.

Bulma picked up the phone and called the one person who might know her childhood friend whereabouts.
