        Pairing Goku/Vegeta/Radditz/Nappa

        A/U -Goku learns what it really means to be Saiyan.

        Monkey Moon Part 3

        Chi Chi could only stare at the powerful saiyan across the table from her. His words
        struck her as eloquent, but...

        "You have doubts about me."

        Chi Chi nodded. "To say the least. I find it hard to believe someone would willfully
        injure their family under pretense of a mission!"

        "That's right" Gohan spat. "You tried to hurt me, and got dad killed once!"

        Raditz lowered his head. "I'm not proud of that, Gohan. I allowed things to escalate
        because of pride and anger. Shortly before arriving here I learned of the destruction of
        my homeworld. It was too much to process, and when I came here and found
        Kakarot in a state of amnesia...I sort of snapped. I couldn't lose him when I'd lost
        everything else."

        "But that still makes no sense" Chi Chi argued. "Why not try to reason with him?
        Goku basically gets along with everyone...you didn't need to resort to strongarm
        tactics and violence."

        Raditz glowered at her. "It's the way of my people. I can't apologize for being saiyan,
        Chi Chi. Kakarot couldn't understand my viewpoint, nor I his. There wasn't time for us
        to reaccquaint properly. Vegeta and Nappa were coming behind me, and I had a
        mission to perform."

        "And you did it well" she snapped bitterly.

        "Again, I offer no excuses. Perhaps being dead has made us both grow up since we
        last met. He is my brother after all."

        Gohan thought that over. "What was it like?"

        Dark eyes glazed at the memory. "Not someplace I'd wish to be in anytime soon."

        Chi Chi sipped her coffee. "Hell, no doubt."

        Raditz made a face. "Aye. Endless misery and dark, full of gloomy souls in pain. It's
        enough to drive one mad."

        "But if you do bad things you go there." the little mop top piped up.

        "True, Gohan. I'm no angel, but pure evil is something even I find distasteful. I have
        no stomach for unrelenting dark with no hope."

        "And yet you would use your own blood against itself" Piccolo finally spoke for the
        first time.

        Radtiz clenched a fist. "It's cowardly to use a child, and against our warrior's
        code...but I was desperate to gain Kakarot's cooperation if not his trust."

        "That's madness" Chi Chi was solemn. "If he couldn't trust you, why would he
        cooperate?"

        "It was folly, Chi Chi. I know that now."

        "How do I know you mean this, that you're not lying?"

        Black eyes held a gleam. "I can show you both."

        "What? How!"

        "I have the ability to sense emotions-"

        "Liar!" Piccolo bellowed. "I know Goku can do that, but-"

        Raditz laughed. "Aye, Kakarot has the ability also."

        The namek blinked. "Also?"

        "Hai, a gift from our father. You're surprised, ne?"

        "To say the least."

        Raditz glanced at Chi Chi once more. "If you and Gohan touch my mind you'll know
        the truth."

        Gohan nodded quickly. "Let's do it, mom. Maybe he's changed."

        "Children are too forgiving" Piccolo snapped.

        "This isn't about your family, namek!" Raditz retorted. "There's nothing else for me
        now...my world is gone!!"

        Chi Chi looked him over. "All right, let's try it."

        ****

        Goku found the cooling waters exhilarating. Fresh scent filled his nostrils even as
        cascading streams sliced down his sculpted form. He laughed freely, tossing his head
        back.

        Maybe I should bathe in waterfalls more often. This is wonderful!

        Powerful thighs flexed as he bounded across polished boulders, smoothed over time
        by relentless force. Running into a graceful leap he dived off the sheer cliff of rock,
        landing into the stream below.

        Another potent form slinked through the jungle upwind. Nappa padded silently
        through the underbrush a few yards from the stream. He suppressed his ki, enjoying
        the view nearby.

        My, my, Kakarot...what have you been concealing?

        He saw it once again. The hidden, pulsating wildness that flashed briefly during their
        earlier encounters. Dark eyes narrowed in concentration as Goku did a series of
        complicated flips, stretches, and balancing poses over the rocks. Nappa was
        enthralled at the play of light and shadow over wet perfection. Unconsciously he
        licked his lips.

        Goku sprawled across greyish black stone flecked with white, his bronzed flesh
        rippling with moisture. Broken sunlight captured the high cheekbones, highlighting
        raven hair streaked with blue. Lazily he stroked abs polished by shadow and water.
        Nappa felt his breath hitch in appreciation. Rarely were such specimens seen, even on
        Vegetaseii.

        Kami...he's so...delectable...

        Goku turned over, giving Nappa a full view of his backside. The older saiyan nearly
        slobbered, his eyes roaming from broad shoulders down the tapered back to a plump
        ass ripe with promise. His tail stiffened and fluffed with excitement.

        Oh, yeah...I'm gonna be your daddy, boy...

        ****

        Raditz sat lotus style in the center of the living room. Chi Chi was to his right, Gohan
        to his left. He extended his arms to them both. Piccolo observed nearby in silence.

        "Both of you, take my hand."

        They did so. Chi Chi noted how warm his palm was, like Goku's. She blushed when
        Raditz grinned at her.

        "You're good for my brother...fiery and protective."

        Chi Chi coughed, flustered. "Ah, well, let's get started."

        Raditz felt something from Gohan as well. Confusion, awe, and a touch of fear laced
        with anger.

        "Do I fascinate you, Gohan?" Raditz glanced at his nephew. "You are part saiyan,
        after all."

        The little mop top nodded. "This feels kinda funny...like I know you in a way."

        The maned saiyan winked. "But of course. Now both of you, concentrate on myself
        and Kakarot. The sequence doesn't matter."

        Chi Chi pinched her eyes shut. "Okay."

        A broken timeline flowed. Images, impressions and emotions compressed in an
        extended time frame. Joy and excitement as a young Raditz held his infant brother
        for the first time. Fierce protectiveness. Sadness and loss as Goku was sent away.
        Emptiness inbetween, not knowing if his brother were alive. Anticipation and renewed
        excitement when they met as adults. Disappointment, shock and rage at perceived
        betrayal. Anger and revenge, the need to punish and lash out. Dying in disbelief.
        Regret and sadness in hell. Returning with new hope and possibilities.

        Chi Chi was impressed, but noticed a 'wall' behind the sequence, a part not seen and
        hidden.

        /What's that?/

        /My personal desires and thoughts. You won't be allowed there./

        /But if there's nothing to hide.../

        /I won't strip myself bare to you. You've seen the truth from my memories./

        A small mind voice piped up. /I believe him, mom. He's a warrior./

        A pause. /Perhaps I've misjudged you, Raditz. That still doesn't excuse what you've
        done./

        /I know, Chi Chi. Are you ready to leave now?/

        /Yes./

        Raditz closed the connection as everyone returned to 'themselves'.

        "Wow!" Gohan rubbed his head. "That was so awesome!"

        Chi Chi stood slowly, considering something. "Would you care to stay for dinner? I'm
        sure Goku will be back by then."

        Raditz laughed richly. "Hai, my brother never missed a meal!"

        ****

        Nappa couldn't contain himself any longer. Goku continued to stroke himself slowly
        under cascading water, the clear liquid splashing over solid muscle. Nappa wanted to
        jump that luscious flesh and see it squirm.

        Goku's eyes snapped open as saiyan scent hit his nose. He whirled, seeing Nappa
        climb rapidly over rounded boulders.

        "What are you doing?!" he snarled, sitting up abruptly. Nappa slowed, his eyes slitted
        in hunger.

        "I came to bring you good company, Kakarot."

        Goku stared, blinking. Nappa reeked of sex and hormones, and it didn't take a genius
        to sense his intent.

        "Stay where you are, Nappa."

        The bald general stood to his full height, flexing beneath his bodysuit. "Surely I'm no
        threat to a super saiyan, Kakarot."

        "I don't trust you."

        "But you must" Nappa's voice was silk as he edged closer. "We're both saiyan."

        "That was true before."

        "Yes, but circumstances are different...we need not be enemies."

        Goku eyed him warily. "What are you saying? I don't follow this."

        Nappa gestured with his hand. "May I come up?"

        Dark eyes surveyed him closely. "All right. No tricks."

        Nappa nodded, smiling. "Kakarot, the past is done. Our kind has dwindled down to
        four, and there's no point in animosity."

        Goku sniffed the air again. "That much may be true, but it isn't why you've come
        here."

        "I'm not as crude and brutish as I first appeared. Under the influence of those
        supplements my personality was a bit distorted. One could say you're meeting the
        real Nappa for the first time."

        Goku watched him sit on a nearby cluster of boulders. "One thing hasn't changed,
        your appetite for violence."

        "Sense that, do you?"

        A grim nod. "Hai, and other things."

        Nappa snorted. "I have an appetite for many things, boy."

        Goku growled, feeling an instinctive warning. "I'd better not be on the list!"

        Nappa licked his lips. "Then you also know I'm not one for pretense."

        The black flame of hair swayed in the breeze. "Neither am I. Go back to Vegeta!"

        Nappa nodded, eyeing him critically. "You're a wild thing, Kakarot, despite your human
        upbringing. Kami knows what you would have achieved on our homeworld."

        "That's a moot point, Nappa. My life is here with my family."

        "All things change. Your true family has come for you."

        Goku started, remembering the nightmare. That strange dream...a premonition of
        this?

        Nappa used the momentary confusion to move alongside. Black eyes glazed in
        hunger at the statue of bronzed perfection.

        "You are magnificent, Kakarot" Nappa stated simply, eyeing him up and down. "I
        never give such compliments lightly...many have I beheld but few would I place at
        your side."

        Goku felt an odd fire warm his gut. "You've said enough, Nappa. Please leave."

        Nappa edged even closer. "My words disturb you...am I so repulsive?"

        Goku edged back. "Enough, already. It has nothing to do with being repulsive-"

        "I feel your heat, Kakarot. Surely you've scented mine."

        "I'm no fool, Nappa. I could smell you before you climbed the rocks."

        Lurid eyes roamed glistening flesh once more. "Excellent. you're still attuned to your
        instincts."

        "Why wouldn't I be? I use them all the time!"

        "But not around the humans, I suspect?"

        "What is this, a test?"

        "Hardly" a broad hand rested on Goku's thigh. "Do you like a challenge?"

        Shocked eyes stared down. "Are you insane?" Goku pushed the hand away.

        "No. Use your senses again, Kakarot. What do they tell you?"

        The younger saiyan glared. "That you need to find someplace to cool off. I don't go
        that way, Nappa!"

        Their lips were nearly touching now. "Really? You've had every opportunity to knock
        me away but haven't."

        Dark eyes grew feral as Goku leaned away. "I was being polite. Move, or I won't be
        much longer."

        Nappa filled his nostrils with sweet musk, chuckling. "Liar. Your smell grows stronger
        by the moment, boy. It's not as if you can hide it anyway" he glanced down at a
        growing erection.

        Goku refused to acknowledge the rigid flesh. An aberration! he told himself. Before
        he could act further, a thick coil of fur laced his chest.
