The Unbreakable Bond. (Edited Version.)

Aftermath

A/N - I haven't finished fully editing this chapter, however as I'm not able to finish crazy life chapter today as I've been pretty busy, I felt the need to have something publish. 🤣

*************************************************

Two years had passed since the death of Gine, Kakarot had suffered from flashbacks since that day.

The same vivid images would recite in his mind repeatedly and the raw emotions would all flood in alongside it. When he was escorted home he recalled seeing guards swarmed around his mother's body, his brother had to hold him back as they watched her body being lifted and carried out of their family home. Tears were formed, and he cried continuously till no more tears were left to cry.When his father had returned home, he gave kakarot his mother's chain with a pendant that looked the shape of a heart. It was a gift Bardock gave her when they first met; he felt that it would help Kakarot move on.

The twelve-year-old opened his eyes, and he began to play with the pendant that was around his neck; it was the only thing he had that he could still feel close to his mother. Bardock tapped on his bedroom door before entering.

"You need to get up, Raditz and I are needed so you will be staying with Fasha" he pulled the blanket off Kakarot, "don't think you are staying in bed all day!"

Kakarot let out an abrupt sigh and hopped out of bed then got himself dressed, Bardock left the room to get his stuff together. He glanced down at his mother's pendant and smoothed his thumb along it. A tear formed in his eye, and he tucked his pendant under his top as he continued to get dressed.

The prince accompanied his father to the throne room with guards following behind. He couldn't be trusted to be left alone ever since his father spotted him in bed with two others. The prince would have a complacent smirk whenever his father brought it up, his father found it disconcerting to of caught his son in such a lascivious act. Whenever elite warriors would return to report back to the King, those of a similar age of his son would always blush whenever Vegeta looked at them directly with a smirk. Rumors spread fast around the palace, specifically since two were stripped from their rank for being caught. They were lucky they weren't given the death sentence.

"Your highness, we've been successful sold the planet as requested. We even brought back some technology they were using, we could find use from..." one of the elite soldiers knelt in front of the King and Prince.

"Very well, I'll report back to Frieza on your successful mission" the king acknowledged as the elite warrior raised to his feet and bowed. He acknowledged one of the younger warriors blushing while staring directly at his son, he darted his eyes back at his son who was sat smugly before directing  his attention back towards the young warrior and glowered.

"That's enough of looking at my son! If you value your rank you will keep your eyes to yourself!" The king kept his glare on the young warrior who gulped and glanced away. "You may all be dismissed from here for now, Frieza has taken Paragus and Broly as his prisoners I have a meeting to attend to discuss further regarding their punishment" the elite warriors thanked the king and rushed out.

The king then rose to his feet and had one of the guards escort his son back to his chamber.

The prince paced the length of his room, he was so bored. He opened the doors that led to a balcony and overlooked the streets below. Leaning over, he watched a mixture of classes hard at work. His eyes scanned over and halted as he noticed Kakarot walking with his father and brother to a nearby stall. Vegeta narrowed his eyes on him for he looked very familiar to him and could recall the encounter at the forest, with a naïve saiyan who had no clue who he was.
