The Saiyan Bond

Paragasu's Revenge

Trunks POV
I'm honestly surprised that of all people, the killer was Paragasu. Why now? What does it accomplish? Pride regained? Joy?
Gohan's body is ice cold, and I can't bring myself to leave him, even if he's gone, I want to make sure he isn't alone.
Whis offered to put him in special pod for preservation and I agreed. I don't want to watch my husband's body decay. Nor do I want his son to see it.
We managed to sweep the planet through, and we found a recently used campout spot. But it was obvious Paragasu had abandoned it not long before. There is only so many places he can go on this planet, and Whis said he must have been resurrected onto this planet, because he would have known if a ship had landed here. I'm starting to have trouble sleeping and I keep dreaming that Paragasu will kill Gotai in his sleep, so I have my son in my bed with me each night to make my conscience safe.
Okaru POV
It's begun to be a much more paranoid atmosphere in the castle here. And Goten doesn't sleep as well, our baby girl sleeps with us and I make sure to have them both in my arms, considering I'm big enough to hold them both. Goten's eyes are open whenever I wake up, but it scares me because he is always motionless, each time I awake, I have the misconception that he is dead.
We haven't made love either, and I don't expect to, but it is rather troublesome nonetheless, one of the best way to calm a stressful and fearful person is to heighten their endorphins and sexual needs.
I stand in the doorway of the bathroom, Goten brushing his teeth, body stiff and eyes tired. I want to take care of him.
He turns, eyes to the floor and before he can walk past me I grip his chin.
His eyes are in mine and suddenly tears start to fall from his and I panic.
"Goten.."
He whimpers and my arms wrap around him instinctively.
I feel his body shake and tremble and all I want is to see him smile again, but I can't guarantee he will for quite a while.
I pull away, my arms around his waist and I sit down on the edge of the bed, pulling him to stand in between my legs.
He's obviously confused but I'm okay with that.
"Goten, I love you. Do you understand?"
He nods, his grip on my shoulders tightening.
"And I will protect you with my life. Can you trust me with that? Please?"
His lower lip trembles, tears flowing again.
"Y-yes. I just don;'t want it to ever come to that okaru"
I nod and hug him close, my ear to his heart and I can hear his life source. So loud and rhythmic. I want to hear it forever.
I meet his lips softly and his brow furrows slightly, but I pull him to me tighter and he starts to loosen up and he melts into my arms like he once did, seemingly long ago.
His breath grows a little fast and deep and his leg raises, pressing his knee to the bedding beside me and he soon straddles my lap his body eager to be against mine and I don't refuse it.
I can feel his heat, all of it, every touch, every tremble and shake, every bit of his being is mine and I will protect him for as long as I live.
"Okaru" He whimpers into my mouth and I soften slightly.
"Goten I love you so much."
My lips trail to his neck and he groans nervously.
I look up to his tears again. My hand immediately caresses his soft cheek.
"Please, please don't cry, you mustn't."
He nods, sniffling and wiping his eyes.
I pull him down to sit loosely on my lap, his legs still wrapped around my waist. He sighs and rests his head on my shoulder as I rub his back softly and our breathing matches each others rhythms. This feels as though I could sleep like this for the rest of my life and never grow tired of it.
His hair is so soft, my hand goes to my head, I guess in all the stir of our lives I never thought of the length of my hair.
"Hm....quite long..."
"Hm?" Goten turns to face me, eyes less weary.
"Oh, I was just saying my hair seems a bit long. It's been a while since it was cut."
Goten inspects my hair rather curiously and pinches one of the black locks.
"Yeah, it is a little long. How short do you want it to be?"
"Hmmm, well I usually have it comfortably short...you know, not shaven but trimmed along the back and a little longer on the top, if its flat I look quite silly."
And then, he does something so beautiful, so long awaited.
He laughs. "Haha! You're adorable!"
I can't help it, I take his face into both of my hands, and I kiss him so preciously, it's the softest feeling when I have his lips on mine. So plush and warm and gentle and-
"Nnnnnngh" A moan from his lips wakes me from my thoughts and I open my eyes to see his brow ruffled and his body trembles.
I release his lips and watch his face curiously.
"Goten? What is it?"
"Nh..." His fist goes to his lips and his eyes roam around the room and I start to notice a heat on my abdomen. A glance down at Goten's lap and I chuckle.
"Oh my, are you enjoying my touch?"
Soft whimpers start to appear out of his mouth and soon he is rubbing himself on me and I find it very cute.
"Goten," I kiss his forehead. "I don't mind your excitement, but is there something you would like me to do?"
His lips latch to my neck and my breath quickens in surprise.
"Nnnn...mmmh" He seems to be a little vocal, a bit surprising.
[I'm so sorry if this chapter is boring, I'm having a lot of panic attacks and they're getting daily so my head is a bit scattered, and I've kind of started to favorite Goten and Okaru so I've been doing a lot with them. I would like to know who you readers would like to see more of, so I don't lose more of you since I seem to have lost almost everyone. Honestly I feel like noone is interested anymore and if i dont hear from any of you about what you think, I'll either end the story completely or just continue writing so I can just read it. Someone please give me a reason to keep this going? Please?]
Vegeta POV
Kakarot lands with me atop the two large branches. We've tracked Paragasu to this area, we expect to see him soon.
Kakarot's eyes are extremely intense as he surveys the grass.
"I can sense his energy. He's lowering it, but it's there. He's got to be at least 2 or 3 miles away."
Trunks shifts his weight.
"And you're sure he isn't armed?"
Kakarot shakes his head nervously. "Now that I think about it, I shouldn't have been so confident when I sugggested it."
I notice Trunks' shoulders slump slightly.
"Trunks, we can handle it, don't worry." I pat his shoulder assuringly and he nods.
A quick fly and the air picks up a bit, I hear a whistle and a cry out, when I turn, Kakarot is gone.
Blood rushes to my ears and I halt. "K-Kakarot?!"
Trunks whirls around and flies up to me.
"Dad?"
My heart is pounding and I can't see him.
"W-Where....?"
Trunks grips my shoulder and we fly forward.
His energy is gone, I can't sense a thing. Not even Paragasu. What happened?
"K-Kakarot?!"
Trunks pulls me down and we land on the ground. Kakarot stands, a few yards away, eyes fixated on me but his face quickly contorts into fear.
"Vegeta no!"
An arm wraps around my neck and a knife presses to the back of my skull. I can feel the tip of it, cold and sharp.
"F-Fu, what?!"
A voice fills my ear and I recognize it quickly. Paragasu.
"Do anything Kakarot and the knife. Goes. In."
My eyes widen and I'm actually quite scared.
"Kakarot! Help!"
Paragasu's arm tightens around my neck and i tuck my chin down to assure I don't choke. I grip his arm, trying to pull it down but somehow I can't. I'm frigid.
I hear Trunks growl off to the side.
"You let my dad go or that knife goes in your skull you bastard."
It's now that I notice the blood pouring from Kakarot's arm. He's gripping his arm. Was he shot? Was that the whistle sound?
"W-What do you want me to do.....Paragasu?"
I hear a smirk and the handle of the knife squeaks from his grip.
"I would like to take revenge, didn't I tell you?"
Kakarot grits his teeth and one of his fists clench.
"What, you want me to die? I don't think I can allow that to happen considering the situation you've put me in. I have to protect what's mine."
I feel a little happy twinge in my heart at being called his.
Trunks steps forward and I feel my skin tear slightly "a-ah! N-no!" I raise my hand towards Trunks, telling him to stay.
Kakarot meets my eyes and I let out a relieved breath.
Instantly he's gone and suddenly his hand is gripped on Paragasu's wrist, the blade moving away and I jump forward, my hands hitting the grass.
Paragasu's voice rings in my ears, I can hear him screaming and when I finally get a look, I see Kakarot twist the mans arm until it faces the wrong way, and my son, my son forces his hand right through the mans chest and rips Paragasu's heart out.
I'm....I can't react. All I can do is stare. I never truly thought about how we would kill him, I just knew we would kill him.
And now that I see it, all my years of tyranny run through my mind. I was a heartless bastard once, someone who wouldn't think twice to do what Trunks just did.
I never want him to ever become the person I once was.
------
The fly back is silent. I can't think of what to say. I'm not sure if I want to say anything.
Kakarot joins me in flight and holds me tight to his chest, I relax, hiding my face in his shirt and gripping the fabric. I can tell he doesn't understand but I don't care. His comfort is enough.
