Monkey Moon Part 9b

        The three saiyans drank quietly from the base of a large waterfall in trackless jungle,
        dim sunlight glow casting low shadows on their nude forms. Nappa splashed water on
        his face.

        "I feel the change beginning" he purred, stretching out on the rocks. Vegeta nodded in
        agreement.

        "Hn, I sense Kakarot is feeling quite horny. Methinks that ningen of his will be angry
        and sore."

        Raditz nibbled on some wildflowers, savoring their taste. "She's a dainty thing...it's a
        miracle he ever achieved completion with her."

        "Ah, but he hasn't...not in the true sense. What human could satisfy him? That
        marriage can't mask his instincts or control his wild heart."

        "True enough" Nappa grunted. "No human male would roll in the jungle with a
        professed enemy willingly."

        Raditz stopped eating flowers momentarily. "You don't have to brag about it, Nappa!"

        "Satisfaction is nine points of the law" the bald warrior preened smugly. "Besides, you
        continue to turn me away. I'm feeling neglected!"

        "Idiot!"

        "That's no way to talk with Jungle Run approaching. A kind word, Radtiz...that's all I
        ask."

        The maned saiyan snorted. "You'll not touch Kakarot first this time!"

        "Your prince will determine" Vegeta purred. "After all, instincts are one thing...party is
        another."

        Raditz lifted an eyebrow. "You are suggesting?"

        "Why worry about formalities?! Jungle Run is full of possibilities. Throughout our
        history families and mates alike have warred for possession."

        Raditz sat crosslegged. "It was MY right to be with Kakarot first-"

        "Distribution is the last point of law" Nappa added, laughing. "He wouldn't have
        trusted you to do it, Raditz. I'm not the most beautiful of saiyans-"

        "That's for certain" Raditz agreed readily. Vegeta laughed out loud.

        "However, I've been told I have a certain...masculine ruggedness that is difficult to
        turn aside. Kakarot found me most attractive, despite his denials. And when it comes
        to the art of pleasure, my skills take a backseat to none."

        Raditz thought that over, tail bristling. "I still don't like the idea of you touching him
        first-"

        Nappa glided over to him. "Is that the only reason? Perhaps a bit of jealousy, ne?"

        A big hand stroked the thick tail, ruffling it. Raditz twitched, his back arching.

        "Stop" he hissed. "It isn't time yet..."

        "I thought I was so ugly" Nappa purred, combing thick hair with his fingers.

        "I never said you were ugly-"

        Lips planted on a flushed cheek. "Hn, such tasty young flesh..."

        Vegeta watched them with predatory hunger. "Oh do continue...watching is half the
        fun before we begin properly!"

        "I want Kakarot here" Raditz complained, even as Nappa kissed his throat.

        "Stop whining, boy...I smell your heat. Now let's get on with it!"

        Raditz purred, his eyes closing at the attention. "Fuck off."

        Nappa threw him down on the rocks. "I intend to."

        ****

        A frayed and frazzled Chi Chi lay silently in bed, staring at the ceiling. Her long dark
        hair splayed everywhere even as she gathered her composure in silence. Goku had
        drifted off to sleep at her side.

        This is insane. I can't live with a husband that drags me to bed on a whim!

        She looked over the swarthy features relaxed in sleep. A tiny smile lit full lips.

        I'm glad one of us is smiling.

        Dark eyes widened in shock as a thick coil of black fur wrapped her thigh. She pulled
        at it to no avail.

        "Don't believe this shid" she murmured, tugging away. The tail only tightened. Chi Chi
        grimaced at the pressure on her upper leg.

        Should chop the damn thing off...

        "mmm...."

        "Let go of me!"

        Goku blinked sleepily. "Hey, babe..."

        "Don't 'babe' me, you freak! Get your tail off my leg!"

        He glanced blearily. "Oh. Okay..." the whip lifted up and away.

        Chi Chi rubbed her sore body. "That's it, mister...we get separate beds!"

        Black eyes were on her hard. "Isn't that a little extreme?"

        "It's no more extreme than this sex is getting!"

        "What makes you say that?"

        She spluttered, at a loss for words. "You drag me to bed without asking me first..."

        "You had every opportunity to say no."

        "Before or after you stripped me naked? Is this what saiyans consider etiquette?!"

        "I think you're sexy...why is that wrong?"

        She bit her lip. "Goku, there's nothing wrong with wanting me. In fact I'm flattered
        you find me this irresistable..."

        "But?"

        "You're getting...strange in what you want. I'm not sure I can go along with it."

        Bronzed flesh flexed next to her in agitation. "Did you come?"

        She turned beet red. "Why are you asking-"

        "I asked you did you come?!" he demanded.

        "Yes, dammit, but that isn't the point!!"

        Goku tucked back down under blankets. "I could tell...you felt really good, Chi Chi."

        She was shocked to silence. "I don't know what to say at this point, other than this
        can't continue."

        "You weren't satisfied?"

        She smacked a hand to her forehead. "Kuso. Will you listen to me? I have needs, too.
        I'm not a possession to be dragged off and used when the whim suits you!"

        "That wasn't my intent, Chi Chi. My drives are so strong now they're difficult to
        control. I'm still adjusting to having my tail."

        "Well for Kami's sake, I hope you do before I get killed!"

        He kissed her softly. "Now do you understand?"

        She rubbed sore body parts again. "I'm beginning to...painfully."

        He slid out of bed. "I've got sensu in my gi pocket...it should help."

        "Yeah" Chi Chi murmured, watching muscled perfection move as it rippled. Will this
        get worse the longer it goes?

        Goku noticed her expression. "I'm not a monster, Chi Chi."

        "Not yet, but you're beginning to worry me, Goku. This is uncharted territory for me
        too."

        He handed her the bean. "What do you want to do?"

        She stared at it. "Maybe we need some time to think..."

        A frown pinched his features. "Are you saying you want a separation?"

        "No, not exactly. But we may have to evalute a few things. It's clear our relationship
        is changed now."

        "Everyone resists change, Chi Chi."

        "This isn't change for the better. I'm not a saiyan, Goku. I have no idea what you
        expect of me now."

        "It's got nothing to do with being saiyan. I think we can work this out, with a few
        adjustments. Would that be so terrible?"

        "No, as long as I'm not the one doing all the compromising."

        "I've bent over backwards accomodating your wishes for years."

        She snorted. "I see, so this is payback?"

        "No, but it is your turn."

        His arrogance galled her. "Damn saiyan!!"

        He laughed, shocking her. "I see...so it's come to that? I won't apologize for being
        what I am!"

        Her eyes narrowed. "And just what are you? I see a face that resembles Goku, but
        the man behind the eyes is a stranger."

        Goku glanced away. "Perhaps I always was."

        ****

        Vegeta had to admit Nappa and Raditz put on a good show. The maned saiyan
        arched and howled as he was mounted from behind. Nappa cried out, shuddering
        above him. Vegeta stroked himself slowly, bursting thick wetness over his fist as the
        others climaxed.

        "Kakke-ke" the prince murmured shortly, rinsing his hand in the stream. "Not bad for
        an appetizer."

        Raditz breathed heavily in satisfaction as he lay sprawled on his belly. "Hn...a nice
        warmup" he purred, eyes slitted.

        Nappa slapped his ass. "I'll warm you up, all right!"

        Raditz stretched under him, tail flying up. "I still want Kakarot here! I long to taste his
        skin..."

        "He will come shortly" Vegeta sat crosslegged nearby. "Now both of you, sit beside
        me. The games begin!"

        "Oh yes" Raditz purred, slinking over. Nappa likewise bounded to his prince. Dark eyes
        slowly brightened to molten red against near night skies. The three saiyans sat in a
        circle, tails waving sensuously as they chanted.

        "Kakarot..."

        ****

        /Kakarot./

        "Goku, what is it?" Chi Chi paused at his sudden hesitation.

        The dark saiyan looked into space. "Nothing...just something in my head."

        "What are you talking about?"

        A frown. "I'm not sure...maybe it's just my imagination."

        /Kakarot, come./

        "Goku!"

        "I'm fine...really. Get some sleep, Chi Chi. We'll talk more in the morning" he reached
        to turn out the light.

        She settled in carefully, not turning her back. He sighed.

        "You don't have to watch me. I'm not going to attack you."

        "No?"

        "No. So relax, please?"

        "Hmpf" she tucked her head beneath the blankets. Goku turned out the light and
        closed his eyes...

        /Forget that foolish ningen. Come to us./

        /Who's in my head?/

        /We are. Your family, your pack./

        /??/

        /Jungle run begins now./

        /I never promised anything.../

        /You did, in heat and blood./

        /Those were mistakes, impulses./

        /Not for our kind. Come./

        /You presume too much. I never decided!/

        /What will you decide? The moon is full these next two nights./

        /That has nothing to do with me. Have your fun./

        /Hai, you're stubborn as a saiyan./

        /That pleases you?/

        /Tremendously. But resistance is futile./

        /I don't trust any of you. Not yet./

        /We'll see.../

        /Out of my head. I've had enough mind games the last few days./

        Goku smiled to himself, abruptly shutting off contact. Ha. Did they think me that
        easy a mark?

        He turned on his side, stretching in fatigue. A panoramic view of sparkling stars and
        moonlight cast a soft glow through the window across the bed.

        Goku couldn't say why, but the nocturnal display enthralled him. A slow vision of
        circular beauty rose above the horizon, a stark contrast to black skies. The moon.

        Chi Chi wasn't asleep. She peeped quietly at her husband, watching his strange
        expression.

        Goku's face slackened to a blank stupor as he stared. A small tingle, barely noticeable
        sparked to a strange warmth under his skin. That same warmth turned to white heat
        winding slowly up his spine...

        A deep growl curled from within. Alarmed, Chi Chi sat up.

        "Goku?"

        _He ignored her, feeling the change. Words meant nothing, thoughts meant nothing.
        In silence he moved, rising from bed. The call was too strong._

        /Kakarot, come!!/

        "Goku, can you hear me?!" slim hands shook him in desperation.

        Her words came from a distance, but it didn't matter. He pushed her away.

        "What's happening to you? Tell me!"

        Her entranced husband didn't respond. Slowly he pulled on a pair of gi pants, coiling
        his tail and binding it securely under a sash at the waist.

        A slap. "Wake up, damn you!!"

        Goku blinked. "Chi Chi?"

        "Are you sleepwalking?"

        "I...no. I have to go!" he moved at the window.

        "Wait. What are you going to do?!"

        "I'm sorry, Chi Chi...I can't explain, but I have to leave!"

        "STOP" she was yelling at empty air. With one prodigious leap Goku bounded out the
        open window into darkness.

        Chi Chi stared in shock as her husband ran into the night and disappeared.

        Insanity...

        Insanity. Like a madman he took to the skies, flying south at near light speed. Down
        the mid time zone he zoomed, following the moon as if tethered on a string...

        ****

        Chi Chi didn't waste any time. In panic she called Krillen and asked for an emergency
        meeting regarding Goku's strange behavior.

        "Chi Chi, do you have any idea where he went or why?"

        "No. That's why I'm worried. If the saiyans are trying to use Goku, mess with his
        mind-"

        A pause. "I'll contact the others. Hang tight, okay? We'll work out a strategy."

        "Thanks, Krillen. You're a lifesaver."

        "Anytime. And don't worry. We've been through tight situations before."
