Much Like Suffocating

WARNINGS AND DISCLAIMERS:



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>A.      
If I owned the show (DBZ), dontcha think you’d be watching the smut
instead of just reading it? (Insert
standard disclaimer here: I don’t own Vegeta,
Goku, (any other characters mentioned herein) or the show they came from DBZ
DBGT or just plain DB.)



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>B.      
ALL RIGHTY. *rubs hands
together and looks up terms for the list of warnings: *style="mso-spacerun: yes">
Sadly, this is AU, but folks, don’t run away
already screaming. You can read
it. I swear It’ll be chocked full of
lemony goodness. LEMONS (Not talking
about the fruit here, either. I’m
talking about the sex ones; although how did it come to be a ‘lemon’
anyway?) Homosexuality (er…duh.)style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Also (warnings I’ve never used before!
Gasp): bondage, shady professions, and
graphic descriptions. (Hopefully
graphic anywho.) Also, dirty language
doubtlessly. DARK.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> BAD THINGS HAPPEN HERE FOLKS.
style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>C.      
As always I strive to keep folk in character even when they are not
‘themselves’ in the canon-sense. If
you’re reading this and you’re like they are so not in character, give it a
chappie or two and see if you still think that.
style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>



mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>I tried very hard not to write this.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I batted it down and tried to starve the
bunny (the plot bunny) until it went away.
And you see how far that got me.



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~****



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> The silence was different, Goku though, different
because it was actually silent. There
were no thoughts in his mind that repeated the past endlessly like a pulse that
said: “Whore whore whore whore.” It was
quiet, it was just nothing but the soft darkness around him and Vegeta as they
sat here, together, in the room with the furs in the warmth.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> He didn’t think of what they would do soon,
didn’t think about how Bardock had once been his father, because the bastard
was nothing now and not even worth a second thought. Not even worth the first thought.



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> He watched Vegeta, looked at the gentle glow of power
around him and the way that something was in his head that had yet to work its
way to the surface, something that was going to have be said, Goku was sure, or
they might not make it through killing Bardock. So he sighed, thought of what Goten had told him about Freiza’s
last thought, and wondered just what the hell ‘choice’ he had been talking
about. Looked at Vegeta very seriously
and said: “So what happens after this, Vegeta?
After you’re the King?”



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> “Happens with who, Goku?”



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> “To us. To
you. Don’t you have to find some girl
and have an heir?”



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> Vegeta nodded.
Then gave him a look, as if to ask why it was that he chose to talk now
when they had never talked like this before.
It wasn’t their thing, everything they had to say was said without the
words that always seemed to fuck things up.
com communicated with the truth of what was and the touch of skin
against skin. But tonight, there would
be words, he guess, because eventually everyone had to speak.



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> Goku sighed again and said: “I don’t remember my
father selling me. I only remember him
saving me. I hate him now and every
time I think of Bardock, I remember that he saved me.”



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> “I remember Bardock,” Vegeta said, “He used to be
like my father.” He spat this like it
was a foul thing and then shook his head, closed his eyes and tried to work
through whatever horrible thought worked through him now.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Because there had been no time for the
Prince to deal with this, only time for him to react, to plan the next step and
not the last.



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> “How did you find out that Bardock sold you to
Freiza?” he asked, wanted to know, or else to know what it was that Vegeta did
not want to say, what this ‘choice’ was that he had not had.style="mso-spacerun: yes">



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> “Because the maggot told me,” Vegeta said, “When he
aske…”



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> “Asked what, Vegeta?” Goku prompted.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Kept his distance despite the fact that he
wanted to go closer. Wanted to comfort,
but first there had to be hurt. You
couldn’t pad something away like Vegeta was trying to and never look at it
again, expect it to be gone because you didn’t want to feel it anymore.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Some pain twisted and fester and refused to
be gotten rid of until you spoke out loud and then it became real.



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>1'> Vegeta gave him a glare, a deadened glare, and
said—so lowly it was almost inaudible: “Asked if I wanted to die or suffer,” he
said, “And I chose my life as a whore.”



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> Goku felt his mouth drop open and his brain went
completely numb,n ton to his chest where his heart hardly beat under the shock
of that statement, and then all at once, it was throbbing so hard against his
chest that he couldn’t breath, and he would have reached out to Vegeta, but the
Prince shot to his feet and turned his back to him. Shook with that truth and Goku scrambled to his feet.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “No you didn’t,” he said, “You didn’t.”



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> Vegeta turned and looked at him.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “Yes I did, Goku. I told that bastard not to kill me and instead I became a fucking
whore for whoever had the money to fuck me.
I did that on Free Will.”pan>



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> “There is no FREE WILL,” Goku shouted, “The moment
they put that fucking piece of metal in your mouth there was no free will.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> You didn’t chose to be that because Freiza
never gave anyone a choice.”



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> “He gave me one.”



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> Goku took a deep breath and said: “No he didn’t.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> That’s what he said when I killed him.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> That you never really had a choice.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> It justjust another way to torture you and
if you stand there and think this bullshit is the truth for even another second
that Freiza wins and you’ll never be free of him.”



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> Vegeta glared, but it was with anger now, furd
ad
annoyance and everything that made him burn in the bright light of postyle="mso-spacerun: yes"> Those emotions that filled him up and made
him remember that he was a Prince, that he would always be a Prince and a King
and Freiza was a fucking lizard maggot that was dead with his head suspended
from a ceiling. Anger was power the way
pain could not be. “What?” Vegeta demanded.



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> “You never had a choice. If you had told him to kill you he still would have made you his
pet.”



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> Vegeta punched him.
Knocked him back down onto the pile of furs and stood there, shaking in
fury. “I AM NOT A PET!”style="mso-spacerun: yes"> He yelled it loud enough everyone could have
heard it and then he curled his hands up into fists so tight his nails dug into
his skin. “I was never a pet.”



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> Goku pushed himself back up to sit and look at
Vegeta. “That’s right.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> So are you going to get over it now?”



stylent-snt-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> “Fuck you, Goku,” Vegeta said.style="mso-spacerun: yes">



e='fe='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> (Bardock told him to do it,) Goten’s voice in
his mind whispered, (Bardock told Freiza to give the Prince the choice.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> He figured Va woa would chose death and he
could get a laugh out of knowing it.
)



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> “Bardock told Freiza to give you the choice,” Goku
said, internally cringed at that thought at the way one man could be so evil
that it made your skin crawl to think of him, and with every passing second he
hoped that bastard’s death hurt more and more, “But there was never a choice.”



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> Vegeta dropped down onto the skins next to him.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Stared at him like he was drowning, clawing
at the surface of the water and unable to break back through.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> So Goku touched him, his hand, his face and
tried to be an anchor for whatever was storming through Vegeta.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Didn’t want anything but to know that he
hadn’t destroyed the Prince, and Vegeta finally spoke again, all he said was:
“Death is not good enough for that fuck.”



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> 



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'>~~~***



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> Chichi was waiting for him outside as the sun started
to rise. She touched his hand with her
frigid fingers and looked at him with all the seriousness of their kind.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> “When it dies,” she whispered, “Let it
scream. Make it scream.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> The death it needs is not one without pain.”



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> Trunks looked at her blind eyes and her pale face
framed on all sides by the pitch black of her hair and clothes.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Closed his hand around her cold fingers and
promised without a word to be spoken, that Bardock would die screaming.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> For all the traitorous things he had done,
for the truth that Goten had told him and the evil that lived in him, he would
die screaming.



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> “Good,” Chichi whispered, “We should go soon.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Before it has time to see that we are coming
for it.” And she brushed past him, said
nothing more of the matter as she set to waking up the people still in the
cave. And he stood out there, by
himself, with his sword on his back.
Closed his eyes and tried to imagine that after so many years, after the
blood he had spilt, it would end.
Soon. It would all end with one
final fight.



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> Couldn’t understand that concept as he struggled with
it. Didn’t want to think that all his
life had been devoted to destroy Bardock and returning his brother to the
throne and now he was a day and half away from accomplishing that goal.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Felt Goten’s hand on his and looked at his
smaller mate, saw the dark eyes and the determination there.style="mso-spacerun: yes">



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> (He is finally ready, your brother, today he is
finally ready.
)



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> A sad smile, and the rest of them were out in the
clearing. Bearing no weapons but their
own power and standing close together like this was some family they had been
adopted into and not a pack of murderers ready for the biggest assassination
attempt of their careers.



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> “Ready Chichi?” he asked. Waited for Goten to slip inside the ‘circle’ that was created
between him and Chichi. Raised his arms
when she raised hers, and the webs formed around them, like a giant ball of
black and purple. The air got terribly
cold, and he felt his eyes change black as his vision went from Saiyan to
spider and all the people appeared like beings made of light, like auras with
the scars of the soul over laying those of the body.



style='font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt'> He concentrated on the Juro Moon, closed his eyes
when he felt them lift away from reality and his lungs started to freeze as the
air got colder. The distance could have
killed him if he had attempted it by himself. *tears hair out and starts tossing it around
like confetti * style="mso-spacerun: yes"> 70 fricking words!



Vegeta:
*sniffle * I had emotional
upheaval in this chapter.



Goku: There,
there, dear, you’re alright now.



Goten:
*snore *



Trunks:
*sleeping all cute like *



Bulma: He is
sleeping cutelike. Like a little
baby. Awww….



Chichian san style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Oh,
don’t make me puke.



 



Angry Monkey:



Aw,
don’t crush Krillin yet, he might prove useful.



 



Macha:



Fell
behind? *shakes head in slight
disbelief * Es okay, Its not like I
cried *sniffle * or…anything…waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!



*cough
* Anyway. Yeah, these plans never seem to work out as well in practice as
they do in theory.



 



Jaygoose:p>



Lol.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I’m sure Chichi will be very vague about
this stamp she’s getting You know,
float about, tip her head to the side, smile for no reason.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Hey! *pats Vegeta’s adorable little head *style="mso-spacerun: yes">



Ah,
I loved the Chi/Bulma conversation too.
It did show a vast contrast between them. *sighs happily * I really
like Chichi. *gasp! *style="mso-spacerun: yes">
Did I really just say that?!style="mso-spacerun: yes"> *runs around screaming *



*points
at MB and starts making weird noises *
You can’t think Bardock is sexy!
That’s WRONG! Lol.style="mso-spacerun: yes">
No, I understand your dilemma.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I like Bardock too.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> But not in this fic.



Oh?style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I love Aya, before Vegeta, Aya was my
favorite uke. (Well, Aya and Schu.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I’m a sucker for Brad & Schu.)style="mso-spacerun: yes"> I loved his whole drama.style="mso-spacerun: yes"> *sighs *
But the Saiyan Prince out-uked him.
Now that’s a contest I’d
like to see.
