Gazsan: I have had this idea in my mind for a while now… finally got around to writing it.

Disclaimer: Not mine… never…

Warnings: Implied rape, OOC (hopefully kept to a minimum), and bad words.

New Moon.

He wasn't sure what brought him out of his meditation; something out of the ordinary for a fine spring day as this was. He couldn't place it until he felt it again.

It was one of his allies' ki.

He furrowed his hairless eyebrows as he felt it fluctuate randomly, as if the owner had no control over it.

Not sensing any danger, Piccolo slowly stood, wary of any leg cramps that came from hours in the same position. He stretched a little, before flying leisurely towards the disturbance.

The forest he was once in gave way to more rocky terrain, before turning into what looked to be a battle field, but he decided it was more likely that it was once target practice for the obviously angry person.

Among the reddish brown dirt, he spotted a bit of black and he quickly landed a little ways from him, and walked the rest of the way to stand behind him, in case they felt like being antisocial.

Vegeta sat on a cliff in long sleeved black spandex with white gloves and boots, their golden tips hanging off and pointing into the distance.

While neither were known for their conversation skills, Piccolo decided to let the Prince begin what will no doubt be a very awkward talk. He was ready to wait however long it took for the smaller man to start, and was, therefore, justifiably surprised when he spoke;

"Is there a reason you are here Namek?"

The taller man frowned at his back, but shrugged and walked over to Vegeta's side to try and spot any reaction.

"Your fluctuating ki interrupted my mediation. So I came to see why, as we speak, your power level is about equal to that of a human."

The Prince's jaw tightened, but he did not respond. Piccolo was surprised, (but he didn't show it), that Vegeta didn't have anything to say. If this were a week ago, he would've either launched himself at the Namek, or said something that would've hurt just as much.

They were silent for a while, neither really knowing what to say to the other. Then, Vegeta's shoulders began to shake. Piccolo was half convinced that he was crying, until he heard muffled giggles coming from the other man.

They started off as little chuckles, but then progressed to a full blown belly laugh as he leaned back onto his arms with his head thrown back.

Piccolo was beyond confused while watching. It was rare to see any kind of emotion from the Prince apart from anger; and now he was laughing himself to tears at some kind of inside joke. The taller man was quickly losing patience. However, before he could demand an answer, Vegeta started talking again;

"You know, I never pictured myself to be in a position like this. When I was younger, I dreamt of growing strong and destroying Freiza and hanging his rotting carcass from the highest pole on his godforsaken planet for what he did to my people. Then, taking Raditzu and Nappa and creating a new Saiyan planet."

His wistful tone then took on a more frustrated one;

"But I never saw myself like this. Stuck on a backwater planet with idiots who can't decide whether to fear me or hate me. A stupid woman who won't leave me alone. A son, who I love more than anything on this stupid planet, but is no where near the warrior I had always wanted my first born to be; and a fucking Third-class imbecile who-", he cut himself off there.

Both of Piccolo's eyebrows lifted. Since when did the volatile Prince not want to rant and rave about his most hated rival? The problem must involve him somehow.

"What did Goku do, Vegeta?"

"Who wished back the moon Namek?"

The taller man frowned at the obvious stalling tactic, but answered nonetheless, "Goku did. He claimed that it was safe now that there were no more Saiyans waiting around and because none of you have your tails, so you can't transform. He also liked the way it shone through the trees in the forest while taking long walks with his significant other. It seems that Chichi liked it to."

The Saiyan frowned at his answer, then started muttering to himself, "so he knew, did he plan this?"

Quickly getting frustrated with the whole situation, Piccolo demanded some answers.

"Just tell me what is going on. You know me well enough to know that I won't irrationally judge you or run off to tell the others."

Vegeta smirked, clearly happy to annoy the Namek in any way he can;

"Well Green Bean, since you asked so nicely." he stressed the word, and Piccolo rolled his eyes; "your darling Goku, your hero, your saviour, hunted me down and raped me last full moon."

Piccolo physically recoiled back, as if the words were a kamehameha wave launched by a Super Saiyan.

Vegeta went on to explain the hows and whys of their full moon transformation, but the taller man was hardly listening.

It couldn't be true.

"---because of the moon's radiation, but because we don't have our tails, it—"

He has to be lying.

"—although the transforming is gone, the urges are still the same. But—"

This has to be some kind of stupid plan to take Goku down.

"---I long ago learnt to control these urges. Kakarot however—"

But if it was, wouldn't he have broadcasted it already? Told everyone about it to turn them against him.

"---are you even listening? I'm—"

No, even Vegeta wouldn't sink this low, not even for revenge.

"---you know, if you keep your eyes that wide for much longer, they might get so dry that they pop out. So in that case, please, keep staring."

Piccolo shook his head of his thoughts and glared at the smaller man, who, even though he was smirking smugly, had his whole body coiled tightly, as if ready to bolt if the Namek had a violent reaction.

The taller man ignored this, and set about his new goal.

"You can't make a claim like that without me wanting proof. So how can you prove to me that you aren't lying?"

Proving the truthfulness of this statement.

Gazsan: This is actually the second time I wrote this.

My computer got a virus and now I can't even turn it on to try and salvage my stories. That'll teach me to back up my files.

I had two more chapters of this story written on my other computer, so they should be out soonish.

In the mean time, yes, losing my files also meant losing the next chapter of My Guardian, which was half done. But I promise you, dear reader, that I am working hard on trying to finish it off, so expect it pretty soon.

Which means, you know, expect it within a year or so… :p

So lemme know what you think of this story, I'm rather excited about it.

And yes, I do realise that it is not a good idea to have 2 WIPs when you are as lazy as me… but I promise to complete them both! Eventually!
