HOUSE OF VEGETA CHRONICLES 20 Tattle Tales

Kakarot was airborne in his private helipod. It was nearly a three hour flight, but he finally arrived at his destination. He wasn't alone. In the back were two bright eyed chibis, settled securely in seat fasteners. They clucked and chirped, peeping out the side windows.

"De'Scaba ne, chibis." Kakarot glanced back. "We're nearly there. And I know someone who'll be glad to see you!"

Earsplitting squalls were the response. Kakarot shook his head,
landing the helipod in his old neighborhood. As usual, the appearance of a royal helipod caused a great deal of commotion with the neighbors. They clustered and pointed nearby.

Kakarot pulled the chibis out, noting the audience. "Krukka, they're ridiculous."

A rail thin saiyan with a hooked nose approached. "Ho, Kakarot...the cubs are toslo (healthy and plump) I see."

Kakarot hefted each baby in an arm. "True enough, Kasrock. They eat everything in sight."

"No wonder in that. Your mother has company, I believe."

Kakarot snorted, annoyed. "Thanks for the public announcement. I'm sure I would have found out anyway."

More saiyans stood nearby, laughing or pointing. Some stared in open curiosity.

Kasrock glanced back at them. "Don't mind those slarggs,
Kakarot...they've nothing better to do. Baslurr asked about Raditz the other day."

"He's fine." Kakarot replied shortly, scooting for the front door.
Nuru and Tezar chirped excitedly, hooking little tails around his forearms.

Kasrock tried to follow him up the front walk. "By the way, Kakarot-"

He was talking to empty air. The front door closed with a slam.

Kasrock rejoined his other neighbors, snarling. "Uppity bastard. So what if he lives in the castle?!"

Flipping his tail in annoyance, the thin saiyan gossiped with the others.

Kakarot received an unexpected greeting inside. Rocco came down the hallway, wearing a thick robe. He held a steaming mug of hot haffa in one hand.

"Hn, the prodigal son returns. How fares our rulership?"

"Still in charge." Kakarot replied, looking upstairs.

Rocco observed the chibis. "Give her a minute. She was coming down anyway."

"I'll take the cubs in the living room."

Rocco moved aside as Kakarot hauled his sons. "I'll join you."

xxxx

Kakarot plopped his cubs on the couch. The chibis clambered over each other, squeezing around their father. Rocco laughed from a nearby chair.

"Hn, little mostri (monsters). They remind me of my viie (nieces and nephews)."

Kakarot rummaged through a huge canvas bag while the chibis poked at it. With some difficulty he pulled out pesto bowls and bottles.

Rocco peered in curiosity. "You've got enough provisions there for an army."

Kakarot didn't look up. "Enough for these two, anyway."

Rocco sighed, noting the short replies. "Kakarot."

Dark eyes flashed. "What?"

"I hope we can be friends. You aren't still angry about that scuffle we had?"

The younger saiyan growled softly. "I haven't decided."

"It was only a fight. Why hold a grudge?"

Kakarot untangled Tezar from his brother. "Normally I wouldn't."

"But?"

"You insulted my family."

"How so? I love your mother."

Kakarot stared in confusion. "You love her?"

"I said so before. Weren't you listening?"

The younger saiyan thought a moment. "I thought you were saying that for effect."

Rocco sipped his haffa. "I never do anything for effect, boy. That woman drives me crazy, but I do love her."

"Hn." Kakarot considered. "Maybe we can fight again later. Then I'll decide if you're worthy."

Rocco laughed out loud. "Krukka, I like you! Will you roll me in boar butter and slap me until I give?!"

Kakarot smirked, straining to keep from laughing himself. "Maybe. You might make good bacon."

"Imbecile!"

"Idiot!"

Both exploded into laughter. Seconds later footsteps were heard fast approaching. Celipe bounded down, her wild brown hair everywhere.

"Kakarot!" she nearly launched herself. Kakarot grabbed her in midair, hugging.

"Mother you look great!"

"Hai, and more like myself." Celipe agreed, eyes sparkling. She ruffled the shaggy hair affectionately.

Rocco piped in from his vantage point across the room. "We were just discussing the recent past."

Celipe eyed him suspiciously. "You weren't trying to start a fight?"

"Who, me?"

"Yes, you."

Rocco chuckled again, looking at Kakarot. "You were right about this one."

Celipe waved him off, grinning. "Fool. Stop talking about my cub."

Kakarot pointed at the sofa. "You've got extra company, mosi."

Celipe beamed. "So I see...abendade, chibis! Grandouja says hello."

Nuru and Tezar chirped excitedly, attempting to sit up. They immediately toppled over into the cushions. Small feet kicked madly in every direction. The adults roared at the hilarious sight.

Celipe scooped up the angry chibis, eyes widening in amazement. "Krukka, what are they eating!"

Kakarot snickered. "Most everything, mosi. We're adding meat to their pesto now."

Celipe kissed plump little faces, bouncing. "Like these fat babies need it. In any case, I'm glad you came by."

"Well, it was long overdue. Vegeta sends his regards."

The pretty saiyan sat next to her boyfriend. "Hn, our prince shows his breeding. And your father?"

"Celipe." Rocco growled.

A sniff. "Don't get your tail in a knot, Rocco. I was just asking!"

Kakarot coughed mischeviously. "Father's fine. He's probably attending a war council about now. I'll tell him you asked."

"Hardly necessary." Rocco grunted, annoyed.

Celipe snickered, sipping from Rocco's cup. "So what's going on. Any news?"

Kakarot brightened. "Plenty. And it's all about Raditz!"

"What's your brother gotten into this time?"

A dark laugh. "Hot spots."

Rocco rolled his eyes. "Tesrakki (goofball)!"

Celipe elbowed him, jostling the chibis. "Should I be worried,
Kakarot?"

The wild one settled back comfortably. "Well, you could say it concerns Xenna."

"Hn?"

"The mystery is solved." a wink.

Dark eyes went wide with shock. "Who?!"

Rocco couldn't keep up. "Wait. What's he talking about, Celipe?"

Celipe's tail unwound, puffing. "Not a worm tail!!"

"Feslu. Don't be crazy, mother. You know Xenna's bones!"

"Hn" Celipe sat back, rolling the babies over her legs. "So...not some rim pig? I may have to disown him!"

Rocco cursed. "Shiksha. Someone tell me what's going on!"

Kakarot eyed him. "Xenna was left for Raditz at the palace."

"Ah." Rocco nodded in understanding. "I take it the mother's been found."

"No, saba."

Celipe and Rocco stared at each other.

"It was a shock to Raditz as well." Kakarot continued. "Things got a little rough, but-"

Celipe held up a hand. "Stop. Is he well bred?"

"Heh. I'd say so."

"He can't be elite. Xenna's tailbones are too rough."

"Almost, mother. He's a second class military officer, and-"

"Humoz?!" Celipe squawked, tumbling the babies again. "I should have known. They've been at it for years!"

Kakarot cringed. "I thought you'd be pleased. Father is."

"He would be. After all, Humoz is a military brat."

"Commando, gold ribbon."

Celipe thought that over. "So he's been promoted."

Rocco rubbed his chin. "I wouldn't mind meeting him myself. I have a few light ships that need good captains-"

"Humoz has a new family to keep him busy." Kakarot added.

Celipe clutched a drooling Nuru. "Kakarot. Are you saying he and Raditz bonded?"

The wild one grinned. "Well, it's kind of late news..."

"I always sensed something more. Your brother is fond of his secrets,
but I have a nose for stink."

"Good stink, mosi. I had to bring them clothes inside a castle corridor."

Rocco laughed. "Krukka. You mean they rolled in the palace?!"

"Ai, at least two rounds by my estimation. It's a miracle they cooled off enough to get dressed!"

Celipe was suspicious. "And you enjoyed watching."

Kakarot paled. "Not exactly. I-"

"Quiet, loon. I know you!"

Rocco watched Tezar crawl under another cushion. "I can't believe I'm hearing this."

Kakarot shook his head firmly. "It wasn't like that, I tell you.
Raditz sent out a call."

"A likely story." Celipe cooed at Nuru. The happy chibi clucked,
pulling her ear.

Rocco hauled Tezar out by the leg, snickering. "A teeny Kakarot with dark red pelt. As if one wasn't enough."

"Save it, Rocco. We haven't had our other fight yet."

"Who wants a cracked tail?" Celipe warned. "I just got this furniture!"

Rocco tightened his own appendage around his waist. "Never mind."

xxxx

The saiyans relaxed downstairs after a full meal. Two weary chibis curled together on a makeshift pallet. Tiny snores soon filled the air.

Even Rocco beamed, watching them sleep. "Hn, your cubs have perfect bones."

Kakarot puffed with pride. "Of course."

Rocco shook his head again. "I've never seen third class with such form. But then, Bardock himself is a strange one."

Celipe tucked warm blankets around the babies. "What are you getting at?"

"Nothing." Rocco frowned.

Kakarot wasn't letting him off that easily. "Say what's on your mind,
Rocco."

A sigh. "Only that your family is the oddest group of third class I've ever seen."

Celipe glanced at her lover briefly. "I could take that as an insult,
Rocco."

A quick kiss. "Hn, still bad tempered. Settle down, Celipe."

A growl. "Stop trying to quiet me, Rocco. You insult my son!"

Kakarot shrugged, sipping his hot haffa. "We've heard this before.
What's your point, Rocco?"

"How are you so different? It makes no sense-"

"Your interrogation makes no sense. Don't you have anything better to do?"

Rocco munched on a bone cake. "I've got eyes, boy. And I know the rumors about your father."

"Who gives a quoon's ass? I've heard that line since I was a cub."

"You're too touchy, Kakarot." Rocco put an arm around Celipe suddenly. "Besides, I'd bet a lump of gold your chibis have no kinks."

"Damn straight." Kakarot growled, eating a bowl of slugs. "Good bones, better blood. What are you anyway, an investigator?"

"His nose tends to grow." Celipe commented, annoyed.

Rocco laughed loudly. "Let's face it, every commander of rank from Zaruis to Edne knows the talk. Some believe it, some don't."

"And you?" Celipe glared. "This subject never came up before!"

Rocco glanced at the sleeping chibis again. "I hadn't seen Nuru and Tezar up close before now. It makes me wonder..."

"Believe what you want, Rocco." Kakarot snorted. "No wonder father fights so much with the cosligri (commanding corps). If I heard that shit all day, I'd never stop brawling either."

"Hn" Celipe curled in Rocco's arms. "Small difference, if any. Now tell me more about your brother. Has he made plans?"

Kakarot looked up. "Krukka, mosi. He and Humoz just got together!
With war on the horizon-"

"Excuses. Your father and I went on run when-"

Rocco glared at her, eyes like ice pits. Celipe stopped short.

"Never mind!!"

Clicking noises interrupted. Two small heads wobbled, as sleepy eyes blinked at the adults.

"That's done it." Kakarot grinned at his sons. "Gesace'i, cubs. Are we too loud?"

Small tongues poked out. Screeches erupted from happy throats.

Rocco covered his ears. "Vegroo. They sound like my sisters cubs!"

Celipe hauled them up, still wrapped in blankets. "Empty stomachs make loud chibis."

"I brought plenty of pesto, mosi." Kakarot replied.

"Hn. Any lizard butter?"

"No, but there's yusto cream."

Celipe patted the burping babies. "Time for dinner."

xxxx

True to their high metabolisms, the saiyans ate another meal. Bowls and plates were passed around. Nuru and Tezar sat at high chairs,
crunching soft bones. Both chibis polished off bottles of pesto and cream.

Celipe squeezed fat little feet. "It will be difficult, cub."

Kakarot stared in confusion. "Hn?"

"When the chibis are sent offplanet. Are you prepared to deal with it?"

Kakarot looked down at his plate. "I try not to think about it too long. But what choice do I have? There's no way I could endanger my own sons with war looming."

Celipe scratched behind his ear. "I know. A parent...never wants to say goodbye."

"Vegeta won't even discuss it."

"There's no need, until the time comes."

"Soon enough." Kakarot stuffed an owl leg in his mouth.

Rocco observed him. "We've all been through it, one way or another."

Kakarot stared at his busy chibis. "How so? There haven't been any major conflicts in years."

Celipe sighed. "None that you remember. Nearly thirty years ago the battle of Solaris was fought."

The younger saiyan seemed surprised. "But I thought that was merely a skirmish with the Oltoids-"

"Started out that way." Rocco supplied. "It escalated into a code three war. I lost two cousins."

"Sorry."

Celipe munched a hog ear. "We sent your brother offplanet for that.
Your father took it hard."

"I didn't know this!" Kakarot nearly shouted. "Why didn't anyone tell me?!"

"Trojo (the past). You weren't even born when that happened."

"You still could have told me later."

Celipe shrugged. "Whatever for? Your brother returned healthy in his pod, and planetary war was averted."

Kakarot stared at nothing, eyes flashing darkly. "And now I'll have to say goodbye to my own sons."

Celipe rubbed his shoulders, soothing. "Only for a little while, cub.
Be at ease...I have a sense for things. You know this."

The wild one sighed, relaxing. "I know. Hostilities will be starting soon."

Rocco's jaw set. "No doubt, boy. But all able bodied saiyans will be ready. Even some not so stable." a wink.

Kakarot couldn't help but grin. "You should be a comedian, Rocco.
Maybe I should talk with Raditz about this."

"I need to talk to him myself." Celipe crunched a leg bone,
stretching against Rocco.

"You're worried?" Kakarot wondered.

"I know how he is about Xenna."

"He's mature enough to handle it, mother. At least that's what I'd like to believe."

Celipe laughed softly. "He's older than you, but just as inexperienced being a parent. Your chibis are so small."

Kakarot smiled sadly, pulling Nuru's tail. It coiled his forearm like a spring. "Sometimes I still can't believe I'm a parent."

Deep eyes were warm on her son. "Kakarot, I have a suggestion. Stay overnight here."

"I'm not sure I can. My schedule's pretty busy tomorrow afternoon."

"You'll have plenty of time to get back to the castle. Stay."

"But I-"

Celipe pointed at the kitchen. "There's some honey glazed snake gut in the freezer box."

Kakarot brightened a bit. "With fried yabba lips?"

"Of course."

The younger saiyan stood, grinning. "Sounds good! Besides, I brought plenty of food for the chibis so they certainly won't go hungry"
With that he stood and headed for the kitchen.

Rocco stared. "Like a big cub. How old is that one, Celipe?"

Celipe smiled gently, rolling both chibis into her lap again. "Twenty five."

A pause. "A fine warrior specimen. You must be proud."

"Ai, proud of both sons." Celipe sniffed soft skin blissfully. Nuru and Tezar purred, cuddling. Rocco tickled their noses before needle teeth snapped at his hand.

"Fireballs. These chibis are certainly spirited."

"Kakarot was the same way, although Raditz was louder."

"I find that hard to believe!"

Celipe grinned at a memory. "It's true. Raditz had a pair of lungs second to none. We used to get complaints about late night noise."

Rocco gulped his haffa. "In this neighborhood, that's saying a lot!"

Strong hands bounced Tezar. "Ai, and his brother bit everything in sight. I even made a muzzle for Kakarot by the time he was ten months old."

Rocco snorted in amusement. "Now that seems most likely. Can you make a larger one for him now?"

"Rocco!"

"He seemed to like chewing my tail during our tussle."

Celipe rubbed Nuru's tummy. "In a fight anything can happen. I almost wish the two of you would go at it again."

Rocco rubbed his fists together. "Another fight!"

"So fight already. I'm tired of hearing about it!" Celipe made faces at her grandsons. The chibis burbled, drooling.

Rocco poked a finger at the babies again. Small jaws nearly caught his hand.

Celipe laughed. "Keep on going, fool. You'll be amputated soon enough!"

Small tails frizzed as the chibis snarled in agreement. Rocco carefully withdrew, reaching for a sweetcake instead.

"I'd better quit while I'm ahead."

xxxx

Kakarot stretched in the upstairs hallway. A hot bath always relaxed him. He cradled two squeaky clean chibis.

"G'sarde, chibis. Time for bed, eh?"

Loud screeches in protest. Kakarot laughed, tossing each baby over a shoulder. Celipe came around the corner, seeing the chibis dangling awkwardly.

"Hn, you carry those babies like bags of sand."

"It's good for their circulation, mosi."

"Gesla" (Bull). But I'm glad you decided to stay."

Kakarot pecked her cheek. "Me too. At least Vegeta didn't have a fit about it."

Celipe looked worried. "He doesn't approve of them being here, does he?"

"Irrelevant. In any case, I never asked him if he did."

"He's our prince."

Kakarot snorted. "Ai, and stubborn. But so am I." a wink.

Celipe relaxed, grinning. "Imp!"

xxxx

Rocco clutched his significant other, kissing. "Hn, a quiet night.
Amazing, considering who's staying."

Celipe blinked sleepily. "Give it a rest, Rocco. I think you like my son."

Rocco thought a moment, staring at the viewscreen. "Rascal. And insolent."

"He is that. But only until you know him better."

"Raditz seems a bit calmer."

Celipe changed channels with the remote. "In some ways he is. But they're both fairly hot headed."

"And protective of you."

Celipe turned her nose up. "Naturally."

Rocco laughed, settling back on the couch. "Kakarot must have been a handful growing up."

"Hn, I'll say. But he turned out well. The chibis have calmed him a little."

Dark eyes narrowed. "I'd hate to think how he was wired before."

Celipe was thoughtful. "I'm impressed with how he's handling fatherhood. Bardock and I weren't certain he wouldn't be overwhelmed."

"He wasn't?"

"He never slowed down enough to notice. Everything happened so quickly."

"Kakarot is certainly devoted to his cubs."

"You couldn't peel the babies away. When they were born-" Celipe paused at a noise.

Rocco likewise stared upstairs. "Krukka, what's that racket all of a sudden? Sounds like a boar in heat!"

Celipe frowned. "We'd better investigate."

xxxx

They padded upstairs on bare feet. Celipe grinned, waving Rocco to silence. She pointed at an open bedroom door.

Inside lay Kakarot with the chibis in a pile. They were wrapped in folds of soft blankets. Nuru and Tezar sat quietly against their snoring father, peeping about.

Celipe snickered. "That's so cute."

Rocco covered his ears. "They probably can't sleep for the noise!"

Kakarot razzed like a foghorn, snoring even louder.

"Enough of this." Celipe went over to the bed, shaking her son.
Kakarot flopped over, burying his face in a pillow. The chibis reached for Celipe, clucking.

A broad smile stretched pretty features. "Descarde. Would you like to sleep with grandouja?"

Bright faces grinned, chirping. Stubby arms waved in excitement as Celipe plucked them up.

Rocco shook his head in amusement. "So we have company, eh? What if Kakarot wakes up in the middle of the night and doesn't see them?"

As if on cue, Kakarot suddenly rolled to his side, staring. Shaded eyes glazed in sleep, unfocused.

Celipe didn't move, staring back. Shrugging, the younger saiyan flopped back over. Seconds later loud snores resumed.

Rocco blinked, stupefied. "Well I'll be a fat assed slarrg."

Celipe smirked in triumph, walking out with two shiny eyed babies. "Grandmother's privilege."

THE END

HOUSE OF VEGETA CHRONICLES 21

Embarrassing Moments

The Ouji sighed, walking slowly to his private chambers. It was one of the rare times any saiyan would feel contrite. Admissions of weakness came hard to a proud, warrior race. But some things couldn't be denied.

Such as cheating on one's mate.

Vegeta picked up a crystal paperweight, watching the facets gleam.
His thoughts were distracted.

/Damn Frieza and his technological concoctions...making our own instincts turn against us. I'll roast that amphibian whole and feed him to the ragtails./

"Vegeta?"

The prince turned. An equally contrite Kakarot stepped quietly into the room. Dark eyes levelled evenly on his mate.

A sigh. "I don't know where to begin, Kakarot-"

The wild one lifted his hand. "I understand, koi...this is awkward."

The ouji approached his significant other. "Come, take my hand."

Kakarot did so, leading his prince into another, even more secluded space. They sat on a plush ottoman. The two saiyans stared at each other in silence.

"I suppose I should begin." the ouji started.

"Do we need to discuss this, Vegeta? Everyone...was wild during the gamma attacks."

"True, but this weighs heavy on my conscience. And you?"

Kakarot flushed in memory. "I've tried not to dwell on it."

The ouji was silent a moment. "I suppose this conversation occurs in many places about now."

"No doubt. But it meant nothing, Vegeta. Nothing!!"

The ouji growled. "Hn! I know you were with Aba. The reeking slakka was all over your skin!!"

Kakarot snarled in response. "And you? I heard you entertained some second class officer. His scent isn't familiar to me!"

Vegeta looked away briefly. "He had respect for his prince."

"And a tender ass!" Kakarot snapped.

The ouji punched him in the arm. "You dare?"

"Damn straight. Where do you get off, Vegeta? I never sought Aba out-"

"I may still burn her one day. That slakka's nothing but trouble!"

"Don't change the subject."

The ouji glared, eyes like dark pits. "I'm not. But the hurta (piece)
wants your bones, Kakarot. Don't deny it!"

Kakarot laughed bitterly. "You grab a stranger and lecture me!
What's the point here, Vegeta? I wasn't chasing Aba, and you never wanted that glannsak you rolled with."

The prince sniffed indignantly. "He didn't smell that much."

"Fool!"

"Idiot!!"

The pair glared again before breaking into laughter. The ouji shrugged.

"This argument makes no sense, eh?"

A kiss. "Ne, my prince. I'd rather do something else."

A russet black tail waved. "And that would be?"

Kakarot kissed long lashes. "What do you think?"

"Hn" the ouji purred seductively, slinking out of his armor. His horny mate grabbed him, tearing the bodysuit underneath with his teeth.

"Krukka, stop trying to eat me whole!!"

Kakarot nuzzled the hot chest. "An excellent idea. Now where to start?"

The ouji cursed as heat swelled his nipples. Kakarot captured one with his tongue.

/Hn, like honey. Want more!/

/Pervert./ Vegeta arched against him, shaking. Kakarot pulled his prince down, kissing golden skin wildly.

"Now for the good part!"

xxxx

A similar scene played out in another royal chamber. Bardock growled,
pacing. Recent events involving the gamma attacks had him irritated no end. A thick tail bristled behind him stiffly.

The Ou entered the room silently, siken robes flowing. His demeanor was subdued.

"Bardock."

A snort, more pacing.

"Bardock, are you angry with me?"

A throaty roar.

"It wasn't my fault, I swear...how can I not be saiyan?!"

"Royal skank! I thought you high breds were supposed to have special control?!"

The Ou sighed, standing in front of him. "That pertains to oozaru...the circumstances were different."

Bardock dropped into a plush chair, armor gleaming. "Desdekk told me about the slakka you rolled with-"

"Desdekk runs his mouth too much, even for one of prominence. Do you really think I'd seek a servant out of idleness?!"

The dark saiyan whuffed, shaking his head. "I'm still pissed."

The Ou's face was red now. "It wasn't deliberate, Bardock. Stop being an asshole!!"

"It's like the past all over again!!" more roaring.

"What past, fool?!"

"Always excuses when you strayed. But I wasn't supposed to be with Celipe!!"

Vegeta Ou blinked in stupefication. "You compare this with-"

"So you didn't have control. What's the difference?!"

The king yanked his mate up by the tail. "Idiot. Who was I running with, then? You make no sense!"

"Go to hell."

"Hn." the Ou sniffed, pulling Bardock close. His mate attempted to pull away. Vegeta wasn't having any of it.

"Let go of me."

Dark eyes smouldered. "Never, Bardock. From the time I first laid eyes on you it was so."

Bardock could only stare in surprise. "I know what you're trying to do-"

"This?" the Ou nuzzled, goatee tickling. Bardock shivered, but stood fast.

"About that stinking slakka-"

"She can rot in hell." more nuzzling. A furry whip pulled Bardock close again. The dark saiyan still complained, though less forcefully.

"I oughta burn her-"

Hot lips silenced his anger. /You know my soul. Stop this stupidity!/

A growl as Bardock bit an ear. Tails unwound, coiling and wrapping. /I should have been here./

Sloppy kisses stopped thought as the pair clutched in mounting passion. The King stroked Bardock's face tenderly.

/You would have fallen prey to the same madness, love. Then we'd both be apologizing./

Bardock sighed into the kiss. /I'd come for you directly./

Vegeta Ou licked his lips, eyeing his mate hungrily. "Red moon is two weeks away, Bardock."

Bardock eased out of their embrace, circling his King. A thick tail teased as he moved. "Hn...I suppose Frieza's due for more entertainment. Maybe we can blow his mind."

The Ou slinked to his knees, satin robes spilling free. "I'll blow something else."

xxxx

Kakarot purred in complete satisfaction as a hot tongue lapped pools of cream from his belly.

"Hn, my prince...wonderful!"

The ouji lifted his head up, smiling wickedly at the luscious body beneath him. "And don't you forget it, Kakarot."

Dopey grin. "Never."

"It seems the only way to keep you still is to pound you senseless. I may do it more often."

Kakarot turned over, lifting his tail high. "I feel so hot..."

The ouji felt his groin tighten at the view. That same tail coiled his neck, pulling him in.

"You're so beautiful, Kakarot." Vegeta breathed, fondling the plump ass.

The wild head half turned, dark eyes seductive. "So show me, don't tell me!!" musk sprayed everywhere, misting the prince face on.

With a roar the ouji mounted, plowing into delicious heat...

xxxx

Bardock leaned against the wall in ecstasy, eyes rolled in bliss.
Kneeling in front of him was an extremely sticky Ou, who was plastered on his face and forearms.

"Hn, tasty. You always reminded me of honey, Bardock."

"Vegetaan." the wild head looked down, eyes smoky.

A gentle laugh as Vegeta suckled trembling thighs. "Join me before you fall down."

"Hai" Bardock slid down with a sigh. He grabbed his king, rolling on the floor. Discarded robes and armor lay scattered everywhere.

/My turn./ Sharp teeth plunged into a golden neck, savoring his claim.

xxxx

The ouji blinked stars from his eyes. Beneath him a groaning, heaving Kakarot sprawled on their makeshift mattress.

"Ughh" the prince rolled off slowly, his body an ache.

"Kakarot."

"Hahhh"

"Can't move."

"Me either."

"Frieza might be blowing up the planet right now."

"So we die happy. Go to sleep, Vegeta."

xxxx

Bardock and his King lay weakly in a tangle. Soft purrs filled the chamber as golden bodies glistened.

"My king." Bardock licked Vegeta's neck wound.

The Ou gasped in pleasure. "Fool. First you suck me dry, then you bite me to death!"

A nasty grin. "Kind of like a 'blow dry!!"

"Funky bastard. I should turn you over right now!"

"Ha!" a fat tail slapped the Ou's ass as they embraced.

"Aaaa..."

"Like that, you freak. Again!!" another tail slap, leaving a soft blush.

Vegeta purred in pleasure, sweating and squirming. "Bardock, you know Frieza has breached our satellite feed...he could be seeing this-"

Bardock nibbled Vegeta's goatee. "His limp ass couldn't get a mack on if he tried. Too bad!" more slaps on the Ou's butt, with open palms this time.

Vegetaan howled like a slut, bouncing. "Watch my ass, Worm!!"

xxxx

And on a distant asteroid base, Frieza watched everything. And fainted.

HOUSE OF VEGETA CHRONICLES 22

Feeding the Beast

Celipe clutched her head in despair at a ledger sheet. She'd been doing bills downstairs for over an hour, reviewing medical costs. Costs for Kakarot's clinic care and outpatient program.

"Krukka, this is insane. Three thousand credits for last month alone!"

Bardock made his way into the basement, somewhat bloody and scraped. Celipe stared up as he approached.

"Bedattka. What happened to you?!"

The handsome saiyan grinned. "Got into a fight at The Moors downtown. No big deal."

The pretty saiyan sniffed. "Well, I've been looking at bills while you're out having fun!"

Bardock reached for her, squeezing a breast through her robe. "Come here!" he growled roughly.

She slapped his hand away. "Shirksha! Go grab a bar slut. We need to talk seriously-"

The dark saiyan lunged, grabbing his wife over the table. Papers, books and pens went flying everywhere.

"Your choice." a hot tongue licked her ear. Celipe snarled as she was bent over the table. Bardock wedged between her thighs, rubbing.

"Wetanni! Se-darka ne wata!" (Get the fuck off me!) Celipe braced against his strength, snapping sharp teeth. "Go sit in ice, asshole."

Another lick, over her face this time. "I'm gonna bang that pretty fat ass of yours, Celipe. So you may as well enjoy it-"

He never knew what hit him. A knee cracked solidly into his groin, sending Bardock howling to the floor.

"Shit! Are you trying to kill me?" he wailed in pain.

Celipe purred, licking her fingers. "Hn, having problems? You were all hot a minute ago." Shapely thighs crossed over the table, tail waving in a taunt.

Bardock leered at her, eyes dark. "Ai, I'm hot, woman. And ready to pop something-"

They both turned at a sound. Stumbling heavily down the stairs was Raditz, with his friends Humoz and Gorbii. The young saiyans were clearly drunk.

"Oh. We thought we could crash out down here." Raditz smiled stupidly, weaving against his buddies.

Celipe got off the table quickly. "We're busy, Raditz." she closed her robe.

"And your timing stinks!" Bardock snarled, getting up slowly. "Go find a hotel to sleep it off."

Humoz giggled dumbly. "Hullo. Gonna party? Hey Raditz, your folks are gonna party. Can't you smell it?" he pointed across the room.

Raditz snickered, putting a finger to his lips. "Shssh, sh. Don't tell nobody. I was gonna get me a new brother or sister!"

"Assholes!" Bardock glared. "Go somewhere else, I said. This isn't a flop house!"

Gorbii squinted, licking his lips at Celipe. "Hey, whose da hottie. Damn-"

Bardock moved his way, tail lashing. Raditz nearly fell into him to block.

"Ah, he din' mean nuthin' by it, father. Just complimenting mother, because she's...ah...sexy. You know?" another stagger.

"Get these morons out of my house, Bardock." Celipe growled.

Bardock pushed his son off. "Drunken idiot. Go pass out in the back yard with your friends!"

Raditz snapped his fingers, crosseyed. "Good idea! Then we can...we can...go uptown and fight later." he looked blearily at his friends. "Right!"

Humock pointed at the ceiling, still grinning. "I'll drink ta that!"

"Yeah, oh yeah...OOOOOAHHHHH!!" Gorbii started howling, shaking his head.

Celipe went over to them all. "I'm ready to kick some ass."

Raditz kissed her, reeking of alcohol. "Mosi, don' be like that."

"Then go outside! I'm not in the mood for this shit."

The three young men managed to find their way outside, with help from Bardock. He gently nudged them to the front porch with his boot.

Meanwhile, Celipe straightened up downstairs. The brief respite from Bardock gave her a chance to think.

This is serious, we need money.

She barely noticed arms like bands encircling her.

"Bardock!"

"Hai, woman. Now let's continue." a hard erection pressed against her backside. Celipe shivered, fighting her own response to his body and scent.

"Bardock, listen. Kakarot's expenses are killing our budget-"

Sharp teeth caught her ear. "What are you babbling about?"

"His care and treatment! Last month alone cost three thousand credits."

"Three thousand!" Bardock released her suddenly. "What the hell?"

Celipe gulped air, calming her hormones. "Ai, its what I tried to tell you earlier. We need to talk. Something has to be done."

Another leer. "In about half an hour."

"Humping bastard!"

Bardock undulated his tail, musking. "Make it two hours." Licking his lips, he dragged his wife to the floor.

Their basement was a wreck. The card table and several large chairs were turned over. A red sofa tilted on one side with throw cushions spilling everywhere on the floor.

Also on the floor were two saiyans, twined and glistening in afterglow. Tails stroked sinuous strokes over hot flesh. Bardock managed to get everything off except his boots. This included his wife's robe, which was torn to shreds.

Celipe purred, lashes fanning over her cheeks. "Hn, we always did hump like fuckers." her hair stuck everywhere from activity.

Bardock kept licking her. "Now what were you saying about Kakarot?"

"Ha..hn. Get off me! I can't think."

He rolled over, pulling her on top. "Now talk."

Celipe glared into those wild eyes. "I should tie your cock in a knot."

Bardock slapped her ass before tugging her tail.

Celipe squirmed, feeling desire heat her legs. "All right! The bills, Bardock. I don't know where we'll get the money to pay for Kakarot."

The dark saiyan fell back on the carpet, thinking. "I'll come up with something."

Celipe flashed her teeth. "Why not ask the Ou? He should be good for it!"

"That's not funny."

"It wasn't meant to be. Surely he'd be willing to help?"

Bardock edged on an elbow, sidling along his wife. "I'm worried, Celipe. Not just about the money."

She stroked his hair. "You fear for his sanity."

"I." Bardock dropped his eyes briefly. "It's not...good. Kakarot is too erratic. I thought after his first rut things would calm down, but they haven't. Now there's the scandal involving Prince Vegeta. Talk is everywhere about his "low class lover."

Celipe growled in anger. "Shirksha. He's only seventeen, Bardock. That controversy is the last thing we need!"

"It's a loss in status for the Prince as well. I was at a general assembly yesterday. All anyone wanted to talk about was how the Prince took a third class child to his bed!"

"The Ou must be pissed."

"You have no idea. Council and military staff alike laughed-"

"What the hell's so funny about it?!"

In surprise and shock, Bardock and Celipe looked up. At the base of the stairs sat Kakarot, eyes flashing. The young saiyan's tail slashed in agitation.

Bardock snarled. "How long have you been there?!"

"Long enough!"

Celipe was angry now. "Get upstairs. I warned you about sneaking in on people!"

"If you weren't fucking so hard you would've heard me!"

Bardock was barely a blur. Rolling to his feet, he all but pounced on his son, backhanding the insolent teen across his face. Kakarot fell back in pain, holding his head.

"I love him!" he wailed, tears evident now. "You have no right to make fun of me."

Bardock stood over him in rage, fists clenched. "Shut up. What are you doing running with the Prince? Do you have any idea what will happen to his status?!"

Kakarot glared defiantly, eyes glazed in agony. "What are you talking about? He loves me, too!"

"Chikume! Crazy little fool."

The teen started crying again, shaking. "Yeah, that's me. Crazy Kakarot! That's all anyone says. Well the Prince doesn't think I'm crazy. I heard you say I cost too much money. If I'm so much trouble I'll just leave!"

Celipe wrapped herself in a tablecloth. "That's not what we said. If you're going to overhear conversations at least get it right!"

"He loves me for who I am!" the teen was getting hysterical. "Vegeta's strong, he never judges me. The Ou tried to stop us and failed. We belong together!"

Barock and Celipe fell eerily quiet, watching their son's rant.

Kakarot was literally screaming now. "What does it take, what do you people want? Is it wrong to be happy? You think I'm not good enough for Vegeta-"

Bardock grabbed him suddenly. "Be still, chibi. You misunderstand."

Kakarot shuddered. "Let go! You're just like everyone else. You think I'm insane, too!"

The dark warrior nuzzled. "Shh, I say."

Celipe approached slowly. "Kakarot, look at me."

The boy hiccuped, his rage dissipating. "What. You gonna pity me now? I'm sick of it! Everywhere I go, I get looks. People whispering, shaking their heads. What the fuck? I don't have to take that crap from anyone-"

Slim fingers stroked his shoulders. "We love you, Kakarot. And that isn't pity."

"No, you lie." he collapsed in Bardock's arms, crying. Suddenly he seized up.

"Kakarot?"

"Bardock!" Celipe was alarmed. The boy went rigid in his father's embrace, staring. The expressive eyes didn't blink.

Bardock cursed silently, easing them both to a sitting position on the stairs. Kakarot's body twitched as he continued to stare sightlessly.

"Kk...k...k..."

They knew the symptoms. Celipe covered his eyes with her hand.

"Easy, cub. We'e here."

A blink. "Mosi? What happened?" the boy touched his face. "Why was I crying?"

Bardock wouldn't release him. "Just rest, cub. It isn't important."

Kakarot looked around in confusion, seeing his parents' state of undress. "Oh shit. I bust in again? Are you gonna get mad?"

"No. Let me look at your eyes."

A shrug. "What for? I've got two!" stupid laugh.

Bardock growled, grabbing his son's face. "Look at me, I said!"

"Yeah, uh, okay." Kakarot edged around.

Bardock glanced at his wife briefly. Celipe nodded, grim.

"What is it?" Kakarot looked back and forth at them both.

"Are you taking your medicine regularly?" Celipe wanted to know.

Kakarot looked down. "Most of the time."

"Your eyes are red, Kakarot."

The boy glanced up at his mother. "They weren't red when I came in here."

"No." Bardock still wouldn't release him. "Take your medicine every day, and I mean it. Otherwise I'll check on your supplies. Got it?"

"Ai." dark locks shaded feral eyes. "It's just that...I hate taking that stuff. Sometimes it makes me sick to my stomach, or drowsy. A couple of times I got a headache."

A pause. "Take your medicine." Bardock repeated stubbornly.

"All right!" Kakarot moved restlessly against his sire. "Will you let me up now? I'm not going to do anything."

"In a minute." Bardock growled.

"I don't understand?"

Celipe chuckled. "Bardock, we can talk later. I'm going up to get dressed." she patted her son on the head. "When you're done here, go check on your brother."

Kakarot laughed. "Ha! I saw him on the front porch with Humoz and Gorbii. They looked pretty wasted."

"They are." Celipe edged past them up the stairs. Kakarot sniffed, catching her scent as she moved.

"Huh!"

Bardock snatched his head back by the hair. "Careful, boy. I broke your brother's nose when he tried for it!"

"What's the big deal?" the boy howled. "Mosi was stinky, and-"

Bardock shook him. "Shut up! You like smelling stuff, huh?"

"Yeah, well-"

"Then smell this!" Bardock abruptly shoved the boy's face into his groin. Kakarot giggled, his voice muffled.

"You're hung. I smelled this, too!"

Bardock couldn't help but smile. "Silly fool."

Hot eyes looked up. "Can I taste?"

"Hn. I wondered when you would start."

"What's that mean? I'm not a kid!" Kakarot pushed up. "Hell, I've already rutted twice!"

Bardock smirked in amusement. "That many times, eh? Well, come on." he stood gloriously nude, pulling the boy along.

Kakarot panted, tail lashing. "We going upstairs?"

"No, your mother is up there."

"Can't she join us?" the crazed eyes gleamed.

Bardock looked at him in dismay. "Krukka, you slut. No, she can't join us."

"Why not? I'm sure she wouldn't mind."

"I would." Bardock smiled darkly. "And I'd hate to put my own cub in traction for it."

"Ah, I get the point."

xxxx

Bardock stretched across the sofa, watching his son undress. He reviewed the teen's body critically.

Hn, sweet. He's got his saba's ass, that's for certain. I can't wait until he fills out. Those shoulders and thighs should be marvelous.

"You look hot wearing those boots, father."

"Oh?" Bardock gave a lazy smile, stroking himself. "See anything you want, boy?"

"Yeah!" Kakarot's mouth watered as he plopped over his sire. Busy hands pawed Bardock everywhere, feeling the rich texture of satin skin. He panted for a frantic kiss.

Bardock smiled into his mouth. /Easy, cub. There's time./

/I want you./

/Not yet, chibi. But I can help./

Bardock slipped from underneath, sinking to the floor. He spread Kakarot's legs wide.

"Watch me." he commanded. Kakarot sweated, nodding in silence. He pushed shocks of dark hair from his eyes.

Bardock lapped delicately along Kakarot's balls, teasing the space underneath. Sharp teeth nipped along the smooth thighs.

The boy was shaking. "Stop teasing me!"

"Heh." Bardock growled darkly, moving lower. A red tongue circled his son's musky hole, tasting.

Kakarot heaved again. "Are you going to-"

Bardock reached up and stuffed two fingers in the boy's mouth. /Quiet./

"Gmpf, ugk!" the teen twitched as the taunting tongue lapped the base of his tail. Sharp canines gently nipped the sensitive scent gland underneath.

Bardock paused, sniffing. His own tail frizzed to twice it's normal size. "Krukka, boy. It must be true what they say about moon cubs!"

Kakarot gasped, hazing in pleasure at the sensations. "Huh...what?"

Bardock smiled lustfully, swiping his face along his son's crotch. "That they stink five miles. Hn, this will be ripe in a few years." Thick shocks of hair teased the boys' erection, tickling.

Kakarot arched back, clutching the dark head. "Gonna come." he was leaking, straining for more contact.

Hot lips lunged over his aching need, sucking hard to the root. Bardock had barely started when the boy spurted into his mouth, screeching.

The dark saiyan licked his chin clean, grinning. "Seventeen. Are you with me?"

His dazed son looked down, tail flopping. "Hai, I think so." another shiver. "That was good."

"I didn't do anything, really."

The wild eyes shone. "Your mouth felt good, though." busy fingers scrabbled through Bardock's hair.

Bardock was silent a moment. "Have you been with the prince yet?"

A flush. "That's none of your buisness!"

Bardock squeezed slender thighs hard. "Wrong. You're underage, and my responsibility. Have you been with the prince!"

Kakarot couldn't meet his eyes. "N-no, not completely. We kissed and petted, mostly. Vegeta and I ran the jungle one time, but other oozaru interrupted us before we could do anything."

Obsidian eyes narrowed. "Are you telling me all of it?"

"Yes! I mean, we really wanted to. Vegeta knows I'm younger, so he asked how old I was. Guess he wanted to make sure I wasn't a kid."

"You're still too young."

The heart shaped face tilted in defiance. "No I'm not. Vegeta treats me like an adult. Besides, I know what to do!"

Bardock sat back, tail lashing in thought. "You know what to do, hn?"

Kakarot's eyes were dark again, though tinged with red still. "Yeah. I can get a mate anytime I want. And the prince wants me!"

"I see." a leer. "Aren't you forgetting something?"

The boy blinked, stupefied. "Ha?"

"You were going to taste me, I believe. So?"

Kakarot licked his lips, looking at bronzed perfection. "Yeah, well...you're really hung, father. Anyone ever tell you that?"

"All the time. You plan on talking all night?"

"No." Kakarot dropped between thick thighs and started sucking with gusto. Bardock smiled slightly. His son had enthusiasm if not experience. Fortunately, he was still somewhat turned on from being with Celipe. Closing his eyes he made a fantasy.

Kakarot slurped away, proud of himself. He stroked his father's tail as he worked.

The dark saiyan hissed, eyes flying open in surprise. /Little cheat./

/Hai. Like that? You taste good!/

Bardock decided to just let it go, releasing himself with a groan. Besides, he had to get back to his wife upstairs. Kakarot gobbled greedily, tail flailing crazily behind him.

"Oh yeah!" the boy wiped his mouth with a forearm. Bardock reared back in laughter.

"What's so funny?"

"You, Kakarot. You're delightful."

The teen flopped over his father again, comparing bodies. "I'm still too skinny."

Bardock licked his ear affectionately. "You have the bones to be big. Patience, Kakarot."

"Even Raditz bulked up. I look pretty sad next to him!"

"He's twenty seven. You're still growing!"

The bright face turned. "Yeah, but everyone wants Raditz. Last week when we were downtown three women kissed his tail-"

"Kakarot, stop worrying about things you can't control. You'll have plenty of offers soon enough."

"You think so?"

"I know so. Now be still a minute." He held his son in a soft embrace. Deft fingers stroked the smooth body, still having a child's softness.

A pause. "I wanted to do some things to you."

"What are you talking about?" Bardock tilted his head slightly.

"What I mean is, I wanted to prove that...I'm not some kid. Let's have some fun!" he wiggled groins.

Bardock grunted, squeezing the fine ass. "Not now, skank. We'll have this conversation in a few years."

"Raditz said the same thing. But he wouldn't even let me taste him after my first rut."

"He knew I'd take his head off if he touched you."

"Yeah, but I still turned him on."

Bardock sighed. "Calm down, Kakarot. Lie against me now and rest."

The teen embraced him, tail twitching. "Sorry. Just thinking about all this has me hard."

"In a few years, I said. Come to me hot, with no hesitation."

Kakarot stared, overwhelmed. "Arruta! But why not now?"

Bardock looked into his son's eyes with meaning. "I'd only hurt you, and take what I need. You have no idea, chibi."

"Raditz said that, too. But he gave me a promise for later. I haven't forgotten it."

Bardock grinned at a memory. "Hn. You look forward to being with your brother?"

"For several reasons. Ai, I'll wear his ass out!"

"Enough." Bardock kissed his youngest hard to quiet him. "Rest now, I said."

Kakarot nodded, purring. He settled contentedly into his father's embrace, coiling tails.

THE END
