themselves. They both jumped when the door opened loudly and Bardock stormed in. "'Tousan ... back again?", asked Kakarott." Yes ... mind? "replied the adult Saiyan rudely." Hm. ", Kakarott just did, and turned back to the game. Bardock meanwhile went to shower and change. Then Chichi made them all something to eat.




The three sat at the dining table, and Bardock reported on his mission at Kakarott's request. For his part, Kakarott raved about the time with Chichi, which made her blush. Bardock found the whole thing extremely amusing. Suddenly Raditz walked past the open kitchen door and sniffed his head inside. "Mmh ... smells delicious here. I'll be with you right away." He left, only to reappear in everyday clothes after a short time. He sat down at the table and took a good portion from each pot, bowl, and bowl. Kakarott's face turned sour. "Hey, leave me something too!", With that he reached for the ladle that Raditz was holding in his hand, leaning across the table and knocking over all the vessels with delicacies standing in the way.This didn't bother him in the least as he tried to snatch the trowel out of Raditz's hand. Chichi now looked really offended because her nice meal was where she had tried so hard; but she didn't dare to say anything. Now Bardock had had enough and stepped in. "KAKAROTT!" He shouted loudly. That made Kakarott see his senses, and he pushed himself off the table with his hands and sat down again, like a good little boy. Full of shame he peeked over at Chichi, who peered back angrily. Immediately the little one lowered his gaze.




Now the rest of the dinner was peaceful, and despite the fact that most of the food was ruined, everyone was full. Then Raditz went away and dragged a bucking cockatoo with him.




Chichi sensed her chance. Now she could finally confront Bardock. She followed him onto the balcony and spoke to him timidly: "Um ... Bardock ..." He turned his head to her.“What is it?” She bowed her head. "I wanted to ask you something ..." "Tell me. By the way, you can say goodbye to me." She took a deep breath. "Well ... you know, I am just amazed that Kakarott is such a nice little boy. After all, he has a whole people on his conscience." - "My people.", She added quietly. Bardock remained calm. "You must know that little Saiyajin children do this more out of instinct than consciously. Or rather, it is 'programmed' into them. That has no connection with their personality. They first have to 'learn' the right bloodlust." "Me but I saw exactly how Kakarott licked the blood of a friend of mine off his hands with the greatest pleasure! "" Well ... then he obviously had a taste for it after all. "Chichi was angry. "YES, VERY OBVIOUS !!!" she yelled at him. "Hey, calm down ... he must have improved," said Bardock. "Oh, you don't understand!", Chichi tears ran down her face.It might not be anything special for this Saiyan, but she still thought it was unheard of for him to remain so calm about the subject. In her mind she cursed him terribly. And still she wept bitter tears over the pain of loss, the wound in her heart torn open again. "Hm. You're right." That was too much for Chichi. She threw herself at Bardock with tear-veiled eyes and only hit his steel-hard chest. He let it happen without a word. Until she finally stopped and clapped her hands over her face, sank to the floor. Helpless, a single pile of misery, she crouched there, Bardock's cold eyes resting on her pitch-black forehead, and weeping.




Kakarott came through the door and whistled happily. He had left his brother behind, so he was in a good mood. He stripped off his boots and put on slippers. Now he had earned a snack, said the rascal, and dashed into the kitchen. Full of anticipation he slid towards the pantry full of sweets, the handle was already in his hand when he heard a faint noise.It came from the balcony. Surprised, he let go of the handle, the sweets had long been forgotten, and curiously ran to the balcony door. He hastily pulled the door open and there he saw his father leaning against the wall and Chichi crouching on the floor with his hands in front of his face. He watched as they both turned to him. His father was hard and cold as ever. Chichi's eyes were red and swollen, it looked like she had just cried. Kakarott was gripped by anger. He was furious that Chichi was such a miserable sight and that she had to cry. He ran over to her, knelt beside her and wrapped his little arms comfortingly, almost tenderly, around her neck. She met his eyes warmly. He smiled.




Bardock watched the two children in front of him with mixed feelings. It was nice that his son loved a girl so much, but it couldn't be more than that. Kakarott would fall out of favor with the Saiyans if he began a relationship with a girl who was not of Saiyan blood.And that would be a shame, because Bardock could sense that the boy had the potential to be a great warrior, even if he was rather weak at the moment.




"Chichi, why are you crying?" Asked Kakarott sadly. She smiled gently and said it was nothing, he shouldn't worry. Kakarott was satisfied with that and dragged her to go to play with her.




That evening, all the residents of the little house fell asleep, each pursuing their own thoughts, until gradually each of them disappeared into the land of dreams. Bardock lay awake for a while, listening to the noises of the night that soothed him. In doing so he made a decision.




A few days passed without anything special happening. The rest of the two teams returned safe and sound, and everything went on.


Until one fine morning little Kakarott wanted to go into the hallway to get to the kitchen, but paused to overhear a conversation.He recognized his father's voice, and two strangers. "Come on, Bardock, what do you want with the weak thing?" Asked the stranger. "My son is attached to her.", That was his father's voice. "You don't want to oppose Vegeta Ou, do you?" Threatened the third, also unknown. "Vegeta Ou already has a harem of over 1000 women. And if he didn't kill them all the time, he wouldn't need new ones.", His father countered casually. That was enough for Kakarott. He closed the door of his room carefully and leaned against the wall, startled. Weak thing? You? Vegeta Ou's harem? The only woman in this household was Chichi. Kakarott put one and one together and turned pale. Chichi should be added to Vegeta Ou's harem? That was pretty much the worst fate a woman could expect on Vegetasei. No! He would defend himself against that! He would protect Chichi! Kakarott decided to have a serious word with his father.



But then he heard steps in the hallway, heavy, ominous steps. They passed his room and the door next door was thrown open. Then there were some dull noises and the screams of a young woman. Kakarott threw open the door of his room in dismay. He saw two royal soldiers dragging the chichi, still dressed in her nightgown and fiercely defending herself, across the floor. He immediately rushed to her aid, took her hand and tugged at it. In response, he heard a screeching cry of pain and immediately let go. Then he attacked the soldiers. He jumped at one of the two, tried to ram it. But he fought him off with one arm. The soldiers laughed. "Fools ... that's not funny at all.", Kakarott muttered, rubbing his aching skull. Then he took another run, but was grabbed by the collar by an invisible hand and lifted into the air. The hand belonged to none other than his father.Now he was all the more furious. "Bastard! Let go of me! Let me help her!" He shouted, wriggling wildly. Bardock grabbed him by both arms and lifted him up at eye level. "Listen, you let the two of them do their work! You can say goodbye to Chichi if you are good!" Kakarott did not want to hear. He kept thrashing, howling in anger and despair, screaming with a trepidation a five-year-old shouldn't have. The three spectators watched the little one's anger in silence. "Kakarott, stop it, you're only making it worse!" Chichi snapped at him. She glanced briefly at a stunned Raditz, who had been woken up by the noise. Kakarott was instantly calm and Bardock set him down. Chichi immediately took him in her arms and stroked his velvety hair again before she had to leave. That always helped to appease the little Saiyan. "Hmm, enough," one of the soldiers grumbled, and with that he and his colleague snatched the girl from the little boy.Kakarott wanted to run after them immediately, but was stopped by Bardock, who had grabbed him by the collar again. So he had no choice but to watch helplessly as Chichi was dragged out of the front door and away. When they were gone, Raditz crept quietly to the front door and closed it. Kakarott began to growl as thick tears rolled down his small cheeks. "I never want to see you again!" He shouted and disappeared into his room, not without slamming the door so hard that it crashed.




"What are we going to do with your brother?" Asked Bardock. "Tse. Let the little weakling do what he wants. He won't get very far with it anyway," Raditz replied contemptuously. Then they both went to the kitchen in silence to have breakfast.
