Goku X Vegeta Oneshots

Three: How to Start A War

A/N: This one is based on a larger work I'm writing, called The Darkest Hearts. It'll seem confusing right now, but when I finish it, this will all make sense. I'll give you a little of the backstory to help out.

The Darkest Hearts is based off something I read on Archive of Our Own, called My Sweet Prince by TheChichiSlaughterHouse on Archive of Our Own. Amazing author, check em out. Goku becomes evil and begins to kill everyone on Earth. He even kills his friends and family- including Vegeta. He decides to bring Vegeta back, and he binds their souls, making Vegeta evil once again. The only thing is, if one of them gets hurt, so does the other. When everyone else has died, their bloodlust remains...

Vegeta staggered to his feet, the world reeling around him and his heart breaking. Blood dribbled from his mouth and rage reddened his vision. He laughed as his Warrior fell to his knees, also coughing up blood. "You see, Kakarrot!?" he cackled, the light that had burned his eyes for years finally whiting them out. "Didn't I say it!?" He backhanded Goku, laughing again when he felt the blow himself. Vegeta let gravity drive him down as well. He laughed breathlessly, madly.

Goku glared at his Prince murderously. "I hate you," he snarled.

"Aww, I love you too, Kakarrot," Vegeta crooned teasingly before melting back into laughter.

For the first time in years, Goku felt afraid. He thought that he had lost his mind. Compared to this new Vegeta, he was as sane as they came. He forced himself to his feet.

The two bloody Saiyans watched each other cautiously, breathing heavily. Goku recovered before Vegeta, mainly because the older Saiyan simply could not stop laughing.

"What's so funny, Vegeta?" he snapped.

"I warned you... I warned you..." Vegeta gasped, still giggling. "Didn't I warn you, Kakarrot...? Now we can't stop. Either I'll kill you, or you'll kill me. And... Hahaha! And the other will go right with em! Hahahahaha!"

Goku inched backwards. He was evil, yes; but this was madness. The bloodlust quickly faded from his veins, replaced by realization and raw fear. This was it. This was the end of the line. Vegeta was going to kill him and then die.

Vegeta stood again, grinning. Goku backed away once more. "Vegeta, wait. Now, Vegeta, hang on!"

"Remember when you killed me in the sewers, Kakarrot?" Vegeta rasped. "After you raped me? Well... I kinda want you to know how I felt then." He laughed darkly. "What'd you do again? Haha... Let's see... You chased me into the sewers after you killed Piccolo. You- You found me, raped me." He moved forward and grabbed Goku by the neck. "I loved it. It hurt more than anything I'd felt before, but I loved it, Kakarrot.

"You shot my leg after that." Vegeta suddenly let off a powerful energy blast at Goku's knee, nearly blowing it off. Goku screamed and hit the ground. Vegeta also collapsed. He gripped Goku's throat tighter. Goku clawed desperately as his air was cut off.

"V-V-Vegeta, no!" he managed to gasp. He saw tears streaming down Vegeta's face. His whitened eyes were wide, and despite the fact that he shouldn't have been able to see any emotion, something about them seemed desperate, afraid.

Deep in the back of his mind, Goku heard, Kakarrot, I can't stop... I can't stop... I love you... Kakarrot, help...

"Vegeta, listen, please," he choked as the smaller Saiyan wrapped both hands around his neck. "Listen to me! I love you! I'm so sorry, I didn't want any of this to happen!" The black in his heart began to fade. "I shouldn't have brought you back! All I've done is cause us both grief and misery."

Vegeta nodded, his grip tightening. "I know," he said, his voice thick with tears. Goku saw spots appear in his vision. "Kakarrot, I love you so much...

... but it's time to go to sleep."
