Chichi's Torment
Part 4
Goku stormed inside the shower stall, turning the water up high.
_Not cold enough. Damn, I need ice!_
Freezing spray enveloped his muscled form giving some relief. He threw his head back beneath the stream.
_What was Vegita trying to do? Is he insane!_
In another area, Vegita quickly dressed after showering. _An interesting workout. But it was only preliminary._
"Perhaps I will inform Kakarot of his progress" he smirked, heading for the lockers.
****
Goku swore. The shirt he brought was too tight. In frustration he yanked it over his head and wiggled in an attempt to get it on.
Silent footsteps entered the dressing area. Vegita slipped inside and stopped, his dark eyes surveying Goku in appreciation. The broad back rippled as he strained to pull the stubborn shirt down to his waist. Vegita's eyes drifted downward to the fine ass barely controlled by tight jeans.
The Saiyan Prince licked his lips hungrily. /I'll have you on your knees./
Goku spun around. "What the hell?!" he yanked the shirt down suddenly.
"Don't hurt yourself on my account" Vegita said smoothly.
Goku glowered at him. "What do you want? No, don't answer that. Why are you here?"
"I merely wanted to see if you were alright. You seemed a bit distracted during our sparring session."
Goku pointed a finger at him. "What the hell were you trying to pull, Vegita? "
The Prince gave him an innocent look. "Merely practicing a new technique. I take it you didn't like it."
Goku stared. /Like it? Kami, it made me crazy.../
Vegita grinned. Goku cursed, remembering their kata link.
"You knew" it wasn't a question.
"Of course. And you affected me as well. But I took a few precautions before the match."
"Precautions? What are you talking about?"
Vegita nearly laughed. "I soaked my tail in that 'salt peter' substance. Did the trick too, for a while. My tail was virtually numb."
Goku frowned. _I'll file that one for later._ "No more of your games, Vegita. Either spar legitimately or not at all. Do I make myself clear?"
"Perfectly."
A pause. "I know you're holding out hope for us. But-"
Black pools bored into him. "Can you honestly say it's over?"
Goku inhaled. The room was getting warm all of a sudden. "It was...wonderful, okay? But I'm committed to my wife, and she's the focus of my attention right now."
Vegita's eyes went soft. "So you say, koi" the voice was silk.
Goku found himself staring. Blood pounded his ears, causing a heady buzz in his skull. _He's so regal, handsome..._
"Don't call me that" he nearly whispered. Vegita stroked his cheek.
"I must. You are" fathomless pools danced in Goku's eyes. He felt a mind numbing haze, then warmth and wetness.
"Mmmmm"
Goku crushed Vegita's mouth in a sweltering kiss. Tongues slithered and curled lovingly, seeking dominance. The struggle was exquisite, the flavor delightful. Goku pushed hard, plumbing Vegita's taste.
_More..._
Hands tangled in his thick hair, pulling him closer, letting him go deeper still. Goku wanted to swallow him whole, devour Vegita's being and make it his...
Breathlessly they pulled apart, panting. Goku shook his head to clear it. Gradually the effects of the serum kicked in, making him more rational.
"Sorry, 'Gita. I don't know what came over me."
Vegita shook with desire. "Kiss me like that again and I'll take you right here, regardless of the consequences!!"
Goku abruptly sat on a wooden bench. "I'll consider myself warned."
Vegita looked away momentarily. "Are you ready to admit the truth?"
Goku snorted. "What truth? That you use dirty tactics when you spar?"
"Baka. You used the same tactics!"
"In response to you!" Goku shot back. "Did you think I'd roll over if you got me excited? It was pretty obvious, you know!"
Vegita walked around the room. "I see. You don't want me, then."
Goku glowered. "Vegita. Enough, okay?"
"You didn't answer my question."
Goku stared him in the eye. "What part of 'no' don't you understand? For the final time...my life is with Chi Chi! I'm committed to her-"
Vegita was angry now. "Really? And love for Chi Chi made you swallow my tongue?!"
Goku flushed. "That was...a mistake. A weakness, nothing more."
"Hai, we'll see" Vegita told him. _He's mine..._
****
"I don't like this" Goten shook his head as they headed to the gym. "They've been gone an awfully long time..."
Trunks nodded. "Their ki is in the same proximity, guys. We'd better be prepared to walk in on anything."
Gohan sighed. "I hope we're not fighting a losing battle."
****
"Is this the part where I'm supposed to break down and confess a secret love, Vegita?!" Goku slammed clothes into his gym bag as he sat.
/You're as stubborn as you are beautiful./ "You tell me."
"You'll be disappointed!!"
/I feel your fire behind the denial. All the better to break you with./ "You never disappoint me."
Goku stopped, startled by the comment. The handsome Saiyan sighed. "If I were to tell you I still had feelings for you...could you leave it at that?"
Vegita clenched his fists. "You know me."
Goku nodded. "I expected that. I'd hoped we could remain friends, but under the circumstances...maybe that just isn't possible."
Vegita tilted his chin up. "We've been far more than friends. But I see your dilemma. What would you have me do?"
Goku stood. "Just...understand my position a little better, okay? It's easier for you, since you and Bulma don't love each other."
/Clever./ "Very well, Kakarot. I'll be on my best behavior. Do you feel safe now?"
"I always did-"
"They're in here!!" Goten shouted as he and the others burst into the room.
"What?! They're...dressed!"
"Why wouldn't we be!" Goku snapped.
Vegita snorted. "The three stooges have arrived."
Trunks turned beet red. "Sorry...we thought that...that..."
Goku glared at them, his face darkening. "Idiots! What did you expect to see?"
Gohan sighed. "I guess we do look foolish. We just wondered why you were gone so long, and..."
"And what? Were we supposed to be rolling on the floor?!"
Vegita snickered.
The three young men were mortified. "I...we owe you both an apology" Trunks blurted.
"Sorry, dad" Goten agreed. "This is embarrassing."
Goku quirked a smile. "I don't know whether to hug you or hit you."
Gohan perked up. "This is good news, then! Now we know for certain the serum works."
Goku put on his jacket. "I've had enough."
"What do you mean, dad?"
Goku abruptly burst into Super Saiyan mode. "I said enough! I'm going home. Find something to do with your spare time besides watch me!"
Spreading his arms he disappeared in a ball of light that collapsed on itself.
Goten looked at his brother. "You might say he's a bit ticked."
"I'll take my leave as well" Vegita transmitted out before they could say anything.
Gohan clapped Trunks on the shoulder. "Can we clear a room or what?"
****
It was late. Chi Chi pulled off her slippers and stretched out on the bed, lounging in her favorite robe. It had a cozy thickness she loved wrapping herself in. She curled against plump pillows, dark tresses loose everywhere. A small sigh escaped her lips. She could barely move these days.
_Kami take it! I don't know how Saiyan women held up. Goku's killing me..._
A burst of light flared at the end of the bed, illuminating everything in a flash.
"Hey, babe."
She smiled at her fine Saiyan. "Did everything go well today?"
The deep eyes were lidded. "Perfect. You should let your hair down more, Chi Chi."
Chi Chi sat up, blinking. She knew that look. "Goku?"
He ripped away his jacket and shirt.
"Are...are you alright?!" she squeaked.
Goku purred, climbing over her. His tail did a _flip flip._
Chi Chi squeezed back against the bedstand. "Goku!"
The handsome face clouded in dark desire. Hot tongue traced her jawline and lips before lapping her throat wetly.
Chi Chi panted. "Please, Goku. I need at least one night of sleep!"
He pulled her robe down. "Sleep tomorrow."
****
Goku watched Chi Chi sleep. She had curled against his side after collapsing in exhaustion from the third go round.
He rolled over, staring at the ceiling. He could go all night. A thin sheen of sweat covered his exertion.
_Didn't mean to grab her like that...damn. I can't take this much longer. The more we make love the hornier I get._
Trembling, he felt the flush of another fever. His cock was painfully hard, lying heavily against his thigh..
He wiped his forehead, nearly shaking now. _I'm burning up...got to do something..._
Goku closed his eyes again, pulling himself for relief.
/You woke me up./
/???!!/
/Sweet dreams, koi. Or should I say nightmares?/
/Get the hell out of my head, Vegita!!/
/I can't. Remember our first time together?/
Goku yanked himself harder, hissing through his teeth.
/I loved your taste.../
"Guhhh" strong hips lifted from the bed. /V...Vegita.../
/Tasted...touched...so hot, tight.../
Goku spurted as he thrashed on the mattress. /V...Vgg/
/You're so beautiful when you come. I love watching it..../
"Aaahhhshiii!!!" Goku jolted, creaming his fist. He moaned in relief.
"Vegita" he rasped.
/I wish I were there with you./
Goku blinked, gathering his wits. /No. Leave my head already./
/Neither of us is going to get sleep anytime soon./
Goku sighed. He had a point.
/Maybe not, but there's nothing left to say./
/How is your fever?/
Goku felt himself in astonishment. His body was sated, finally. /It's gone?!/
/You're wearing her out, you know./
/Shizuka na!/
/You can barely control yourself. She can't satisfy you./
/Mind your own damn buisness. Go roll Bulma!/
A smile in the dark. He could feel Vegita's anger through the kata link.
/Chikuso!! Stupid baka!/
/Temper, temper./
/Hm. Perhaps my blood burns, eh?/
/??/
/I've been thinking all night, Kakarot./
/About what?/
/That kiss./
Goku exhaled. /Forget about it!!/
/It drove me wild...I nearly threw you to the floor./
Goku sweated a little. /Enough!/
/Remember the promises we made under the moon?/
/That was then, this is now./
/Are you so fickle?/
/No, but I wasn't thinking clearly. In fact I wasn't thinking at all./
/In your darkest dreams I am there./
/I know./
/So why turn away?/
/I...have to, Vegita. I can't allow myself to think about what we had./
A pause. /Because of Chi Chi?/
/And my sons. I've already lost their respect./
/They love you nonetheless. Time will heal much./
/Maybe. But my marriage is important. I'm dedicated to Chi Chi-/
/You sound like a broken record./
/You have a thick skull, Vegita. I say it and you don't believe me./
/Forgive me for misunderstanding, Kakarot. Your tongue was down my throat at the time./
/I told you! It was an accident, a moment of weakness. Nothing more./
/Come, then. We'll be weak together./
/Dame da!! Damn, where's the kill switch on this link?!/
Laughter rippled across his mind.
/This isn't funny./
/No, it's not./
/Vegita...I love my wife. With all my heart./
/You say that too much./
/Not enough, apparently./
/It's not the same. You'll never love her.../
/Vegita.../
/The way you love _me.._/
/Damare!!/
/These lies are pointless. You fear your Saiyan blood, yet revel in it./
/If I were to do that...I'd lose myself./
/You already have. You've nearly battered your wife unconscious with sex./
Goku bared his fangs. /That's why I can't give in./
/Not with her./
/This discussion is ended, Vegita. I'm fully capable of fighting for my freedom. Even from you!/
/Exactly. Goodnight, Kakarot./
/?? Goodnight./
****
Goku stared at the ceiling. What _was_ the point of denial, anyway? Inside his own mind, no one would know...
_Koibito! Would that I could just run to your arms and forget everything. But I can't be consumed by that intensity. Our Saiyan blood, our fire...is destructive. And I can't..._won't!_ Feed it, give it strength._
He sighed. _You burn in my thoughts yet I refuse to yield. Maybe I'm stubborn, maybe I have too much pride. But I know things with Chi Chi are fragile. It isn't worth the risk._
Goku snorted in self derision. _It seems I'm never Saiyan enough at the right time!_
Kissing Chi Chi on the forehead, he drifted off into a troubled sleep.
****
Chi Chi blearily felt herself being lifted. Hot steam filled her lungs.
_What??_
She blinked to clear her vision. Strong arms held her close in the foggy air. She looked up at her husband.
"G-Goku?"
He smiled at her, dark hair in a tangle. "Hey babe. I thought-"
Chi Chi stared down at their closely pressed bodies covered with moisture. Weakly she pounded a fist against the broad chest.
"Put me down."
Goku leaned her back under the shower head. "You look so cute when you're all wet..."
Chi Chi swore, her damp hair limp around her face and down her shoulders. She tried to push away again.
"Are you crazy? I should have you spayed!!"
"Babe, about last night..."
She reached down between them, feeling his crotch. "You'd better not be..."
Goku kissed her nose. "Sorry. I just...wanted you so bad."
Chi Chi breathed a sigh of relief, leaning back. Goku reached for her.
"If you touch me again I swear I'll yank it off at the root!"
Goku raised his hands. "Chi Chi, I swear...I wasn't going to try anything. I just thought you'd like a nice warm shower."
"Hmpf. I certainly _need_ one. What's gotten into you, Goku?"
_Vegita!!_ "What's wrong with me wanting my wife?"
She leaned against him in exhaustion. "Nothing...I'm flattered, but you're going to kill me at this rate."
"I'm sorry. I'll try to control myself, okay?"
She smiled softly. "Promises, promises."
****
Vegita indulged himself in a rare diversion, watching the news. A nearby discussion tapped his curiosity from the executive dining hallway at Capsule Headquarters. It was considerably more private than the eating areas reserved for most employees..
_Bulma speaks to Kakarot's wife. Hmm._
"You look frazzled, girl."
"It's a miracle I'm even standing. Damn, another week of this and I'll be a cripple."
Vegita smiled to himself. _You can't give him what he needs, woman. One night with me will make you a distant memory._
"That bad, huh?" Bulma poured coffee. "At least he loves you. Is everything going okay?"
Chi Chi sipped the steaming mug. "Wonderful. It's amazing how attentive he's become as compared to before."
_Appearances are the most difficult to maintain. He's afraid of making a mistake._
"Any problems with Vegita?"
_You're not my watchdog, woman._
"No. The serum seems to be working. In fact, Goku seems a little calmer since the other night."
"What happened?"
"His nightly fever broke. It hasn't returned since."
_My touch did that._
"Now if I can just keep him off of me for a day-"
_I'll gladly relieve you of that burden, Chi Chi._
Bulma laughed. "I almost envy you. Vegita runs so hot and cold you never know what's coming."
_Kakarot will be, when I'm done with him._
He broke contact with the discussion. "How very interesting. I think I'll take a swim."
Silently he slipped down the opposite hallway.
****
Goku flew around aimlessly. He had stopped at Master Rochi's to chat with Yamcha and Tien. There'd be another tournament soon. A training schedule was planned so they could all be sharp for the competition.
_Competition..._
He felt as if warring factions held claim to his soul. Chi Chi, his wife and mother of his children. They had a home and life together. He cherished her tenderly. Their existence had been stable and happy....
Vegita!!
Coiling like poison in his Saiyan blood, waiting to set him free. Swearing fire and eternity, love and ecstacy...
And he foolishly allowed that same Saiyan blood free reign, making wild promises in heat and sweat.
Stupid baka!
Rage roiled his gut. Rage at deception. Rage at lies. Rage at not being able to...to...
Vegita...my...
_No!! I refuse._
Black locks burst into gold as he exploded into Super Saiyan mode. A blazing comet streaked across the evening sky.
****
The power surge didn't go unnoticed. Gohan jolted from a vision his mystic power perceived.
_What's going on? Where's he flying off to like that?_
"Gohan, what's wrong?"
He turned. Videl watched him with concern.
"It's my father. I suddenly saw him in my mind. He took off in a rage."
She frowned, looking out their living room window. "Do you think it's a threat to earth? Maybe he's gathering the Z warriors."
Gohan shook his head. "No. I sensed his ki explode to phenomenal levels. Some inner turmoil is causing this."
"You'd better go, then. I don't think he should be loose in such a state."
Gohan picked up his staff and headed out. "Tell me about it."
****
Vegita was impressed by what he sensed. Predatory anticipation sharpened his senses. Obsidian eyes held a wild gleam as he looked skyward.
_Yes, Kakarot! Let desire fuel your rage, burn away all control. I feel you, and I am coming!!_
Climbing out of a stream he dressed quickly and followed Goku's ki. Miles away Trunks and Goten nearly ran into Gohan in mid flight.
"Gohan! You've brought your staff?!" Goten shouted in the wind.
Gohan nodded quickly. "We're going to need everything we've got."
Trunks stared grimly ahead. "I sense father as well, but some distance away."
Goten shook his head. "What could be happening?!"
