dark circles under their eyes.




He stopped when he saw an earth girl. She was about 14 years old, and her shiny black hair made her look almost like a Saiyan.He recognized her, she had been among Kakarott's prisoners.




Yesterday his youngest boy crawled into bed with him and told him about his guilt when he saw this girl, how he simply couldn't kill her, and she became his prisoner. Bardock had been a little annoyed that his offspring had such weaknesses, but hadn't looked at them any further. If Kakarott came to tell him something like that, then it should stay with them. Such things could only be told to a father.




Bardock made up his mind. He went over to the trader who was standing near the Earth Maiden selling his slaves and began to haggle for them. The trader didn't particularly like that and was persistent, apparently one of his best slaves. Very good. After all, he had bought her for a decent price, and she was released from her bonds.



"Come with me," said the image of the devil child to her, and she obeyed. She was curious to see where she was going now. It couldn't get any worse. The devil had killed all her people and all those who were dear to her, and now she was here, far from home, as a slave to those creatures who had ruined her life. She had almost lost the courage to live, and it takes a lot to get her that far.




Finally they had reached their destination and their slave owner called for a certain Kakarott. Shortly afterwards, a black curly-haired head peeked out from behind a corner. The owner of this curly head showed up, and it turned out that he was the devil's child. Chichi and Kakarott looked at each other. Both froze. "YOU ?!" they shouted at the same time. Neither of them noticed Bardock slip away.




"What are you doing here?" Asked Kakarott. "Your father told me he needs me to babysit you.", Chichi answered flatly." BABYSITTER ??? IS THAT SPINNING?!?! I'm not a baby anymore! ", Kakarott shouted defiantly, stamping his foot on the ground that shook the whole building. Chichi really struggled to keep her balance, but managed to stop. Kakarott just snorted and looked at the ground. Then he looked up and gave her a venomous look. "I'm talking to him. He can't do that to me. ", he said finally and ran out. Chichi looked after him speechless.




The door to the balcony opened and Bardock knew immediately that his youngest was there. He heard the small, clumsy footsteps on the concrete, the quiet movements of the tail that Kakarott, unlike adult Saiyajins, who usually had their tails wrapped around their waist, still dangled behind him.




Without turning around, he asked, “What is it?” He heard Kakarott's low growl and the answer: “Dad, why did you buy a babysitter for me?I don't need anyone to take care of me! I am already grown up! "Now the adult Saiyan turned to his son and found his eyes with a hard, stern look." You are nothing at all! You're five years old and I don't want you doing any nonsense here while I'm away! "Kakarott looked at him aghast." Am gone? "All the anger of the little one vanished and gave way to sadness." Yes, I am gone. I'm going on a mission again soon, and Raditz isn't there either, so someone's got to take care of you! "Kakarott looked sadder and sadder." Can't you take me with you? "Bardock snorted." I can't use you there, you're just disturbing. "




With that, Kakarott hung his head and went back into the house. Bardock looked down at the city again from the balcony.




Chichi saw how the little cockatoo with drooping head and limp tail shuffled back into the room, which was obviously the living room, and plopped down on what looked like a sofa."What is it?" She asked timidly. "Oh, Papa is going away, and that's why you have to take care of me now," he said softly. "Oh ... and your mother?" "Don't have any."


Chichi didn't know what to say. This child had horribly killed all but twelve of the earth's inhabitants, and now he looked as helpless and as innocent as a human child. Finally she leaned down and smiled at him. "We can do it.", She said and gently stroked his cheek. Kakarott smiled back.

* 5: Vegeta Ouji's disease *




A booted foot padded impatiently on the immaculately clean marble floor, and the fingers of a gloved hand drummed on a muscular arm in time. The young Vegeta Ouji no Vegetasei stood in front of the heavy double doors that led to the throne room and waited. Waited to be admitted at the behest of his father, Vegeta Ou no Vegetasei. He was by no means here voluntarily and could hardly wait to get it over with.He didn't care much for his father.




The door opened and the guards indicated that Vegeta should come in now. "Finally.", He muttered and walked upright with a dignified demeanor in a brave step towards the throne. About eight inches from the stairs that led up to the royal throne, he came to a halt and dropped to his knees, a sign of awe he did not have.




"What is the reason that you called me, Majesty?", Vegeta had been brought up from an early age to address his father formally. "Get up.", Vegeta Ou started. Little Vegeta did as he was told and the king continued. "I heard you woke up from your sleep last night and screamed. How come?" Vegeta hesitated. He wasn't sure if it was particularly appropriate to tell his father the whole truth about this incident. "Nothing more. Just a bad dream.", he answered. Vegeta Ou's eyes narrowed to slits and he caught those of his son with a sharp look." You don't believe that yourself. ", he said coldly. Vegeta Ouji sighed. He gave up, because he knew how not to get into an argument with his father.




"Well. I had a really unpleasant dream, but a very strange one, I cannot describe it, accompanied by severe pain all over my body and feelings of fear. In the dream I was a little older and it seemed as if I was looking for something , but couldn't find it. Don't ask me what I was looking for, I don't know myself. But my heart longed for it. "He was silent. Vegeta Ou had a thoughtful face. "And how do you feel now?" He asked further. Vegeta Ouji looked at the floor. "... as if something had been ripped out of my chest."




There was silence. Vegeta Ou was horrified. His son, all his pride, his own flesh and blood had been attacked by a mysterious disease?Everyone else present seemed downright shocked by it. What if her ouji, her future, died from it?

* 6: Farewell *




Chichi and her new protégé, Kakarott, stood on the edge of a hangar for one-man space capsules, in which five such space capsules were ready to go. Only their owners were nowhere to be seen. Chichi was clearly worried because Kakarott was getting impatient.




And promptly the door that led to the hangar opened and five Saiyajins, led by Bardock, entered. Immediately Kakarott's face brightened up and he ran towards his father, who immediately picked him up. Bardock with Kakarott in his arms strode towards Chichi and she smiled. "Good afternoon," she said with honest respect. He had been relatively kind to her, and if rather grumpy, he was very much alright.




Kakarott looked at his father. "Otousan ..." Bardock looked back.“What is it, brat?” Kakarott lowered his head. "I don't want you to go." "Well, there is nothing you can do about that." "But ... I only just got to know you." "Look, Chichi is still there." Kakarott was in tears Near. "Still ..." Bardock sighed. "Boy, what's going to become of you? I've never seen a Saiyajin like you." Kakarott was silent.




"Anyway ..." Bardock began. “Chichi, this is my team.” He pointed to a tall Saiyan in a blue uniform. “That's Toma.” Now he pointed to a stocky Saiyajin with a mushroom hairstyle and mustache. “Panboukin.” Next up was a tall Saiyan with a ring of hair around his bald head. “Totepo.” And the last one was a short-haired woman whose fiery eyes made her unmistakable for Chichi. "Celipa."




Each of the four nodded to Chichi, and she introduced herself too. "My name is Chichi. I live with Bardock and will take care of Kakarott."Celipa gave a short laugh." Well, otherwise the little one would make too much noise. But are you sure you can handle him? "Chichi didn't answer.




Bardock put his child on the floor and the team went into their space capsules. The capsule doors closed. The hangar was suddenly filled with a huge noise, and the capsules started with an incredible thrust. The generated wind ran through the hair of the two spectators.




Chichi and Kakarott watched them go until they could no longer be seen. Then Chichi looked at her charge and took his hand. "Let's go," she said gently.

* 7: Lots of Chaos and a Kiss *




Kakarott was quite a troublemaker, as Chichi soon discovered. He did so much that she almost couldn't keep up.




The other day, for example, he decided to make his room a little more colorful and got red earth and mud to paint his walls with, which damaged the floor.Another time he had found that he was already big enough to drink alcohol. She had gone shopping at the time and found him drunk afterwards. He had already vomited and was about to do it again, and Chichi immediately threw him into the bathroom. The next morning he had a bad hangover.


Chichi knew that she should actually scold Kakarott for his pranks, but she just couldn't be angry with him in the long run. Now that he wasn't murdering anyone, he was almost a dear child. At least
