Between The Raindrops

Chapter 29

Kagome giggled from her place on the ship. Seemed Frieza wouldn't be getting his wish anytime soon. And the Namekians would no doubt never give Frieza what he wanted. They're pride as a species rivaling that of any saiyan.

~o.O~O.o~

Vegeta eyed Goku's back with narrowed eyes. How had he managed to get so strong in such a short time? At least he knew about the dragon balls and that Frieza hadn't used them yet. Means he could still get his wish.

" Vegeta? You know these guys, do you have any good ideas?" Goku asked staring back at Vegeta's intense glare.

"I thought you were going to fight Frieza," was his snide comeback.

"Well I want to, don't get me wrong, but I was told not to. I think I'd better bring back the guys you killed on Earth before I decide to fight him,"

"That's your wish!? You're nothing more than an idiot! What good will it be when Frieza blows up the whole planet?! Give me the power to kill him instead!" he growled darkly. He had every right to wish as they did after all Frieza killed his people; family, friends, his mate, and destroyed his home planet.

"Why do you want to kill Frieza? Didn't you work for him?" Goku asked, everyone, looking at him with wide eyes. It seems no one had thought to why he wanted the alien dead.

Vegeta was speechless for a moment. "Not by choice," he turned around with his arms crossed. "Besides I have my reasons," he didn't want any of their pity, besides he would much rather keep it to himself. He didn't want to admit, out loud anyway, how he'd failed his mate.

Everyone was silent merely looking at everyone. Awkwardness filled the air.

Vegeta's eyes widened briefly as he felt the familiar power level of Jeice. Looking at him he glared at Goku; it was his fault that Jeice had escaped. "There are two ki's heading this way, the one you let get away is bringing Captain Ginyu. I wonder if even you can handle him," he chuckled.

Krillin trembled at Goku side. "He's right Goku! This is terrible,"

The bluenette; Bulma, grabbed onto Goku's hand making the Saiyan look down at her and smile before taking her into his arms. Blushing the girl looked up at him before returning his hug, burrowing into his warmth she smiled sadly.

Vegeta looked away, his heart constricting at the sight of the two. The two seemed to be in the midst of courting the other. He couldn't help but think of Kagome and the many times he'd held her in such a manner.

As much as he tried, he could hear them talking as if they were right next to him.

"Please safe," she cried softly into his chest. "I want us to go home, together,"

"I promise, we'll make it home, and all our friends will be there when we do,"

Turning his attention away from the two and to the approaching enemies, he gasped. "Waits, something doesn't feel right. Where is Frieza? He should have been at the spaceship where Ginyu took the dragon balls,"

"I feel it now powerful ki off to the West that must be Frieza," Goku voiced from behind while pointing in the same direction although he didn't show it he was excited. The thought of a strong opponent made his blood hot.

"That means the dragon balls are unprotected! If Gohan, Krillin and I go, we can find the dragon balls and make our wish!" Bulma exclaimed.

Clenching his fists, Vegeta growled. "What about my wish?!"

"Don't worry Vegeta, once we use the dragon balls to wish back our friend Piccolo we can use the balls on Earth to give you your wish," Goku grinned. "I might not know your reasons as to want to get rid of Frieza, but why not become allies for the meantime?"

"Goku you can't mean that!" Krillin yelled.

"Dad come on! He's just as bad as Frieza!"

Goku shook his head. "I've felt Frieza's ki, and he's pure evil. Vegeta's nothing like that. He's done everything he's had to to survive, but deep down I don't think he wants to kill. I think he's just enjoys a good fight," their eyes met, and Vegeta couldn't help but be grateful that at least one person didn't think he was some vile monster.

"Then we're allies, but only until Frieza's dead and not a second more," this lead everyone to look at Vegeta with wide eyes. "After we'll finish what we started on Earth,"

"Sounds good to me," Goku looked to the three around them. "You guys go make that wish while Vegeta and I handle the rest of the Ginyu force,"

"You got it, dad!" Gohan beamed with Krillin nodding beside him.

"Now get going, and take the woman with you," the bluenette face turned red in anger her mouth opening to yell at Vegeta. "She'll be safer with you two then here," the color dyed down to a gentle blush.

"You heard him get going," the three nodded and like that took off with Bulma being held by Krillin.

The remaining saiyans nodded to one another both taking a fighting stance in wait for their opponents.

"I'll take Ginyu, and you can take that red guy,"

Vegeta simply nodded. If this meant he could get his wish so be it.
