Chapter 4

Destinanaia walked up to the check in station. She was being quickly moved through the lines. Eventually her turn came and she approached the desk. "Hm... Destinanaia. Heaven. Wait wait. No. Not just that. You get to keep your body too. Your house is in the Son circle. Have a nice after life." A gaurd politely directed her over to the door. He pointed down the path.

"Keep going straight. You will eventually hit Son Circle. Your house should look the same as it did back home. Have a nice after life."

"Thank you." The path was pure white and long. It seemed as if it took only a short time and then she was there. The area was so much nicer than Vegeta-sei. There was a meadow and a pond behind her house and a forest circled the entire area. She opened the door to her house. Everything was the same. Nothing was different. The house was spotless. She quietly moved through the living room. Yet the house was also quiet. Too quiet. She wanted her children and mate with her. The whole circle seemed so lonely. In the kitchen on the table was a mirror. It was an old hand mirror. The edges around it were wood and so was the handle. Different incatret patterns were carved into it. She looked down at it into her reflection. She looked fifteen again. And there was a halo above her head. She smiled. "I wish Bardock could see me now." The mirror part began to swirl. A picture of Bardock appeared before her. He was sitting in their room crying. "Oh no Bardock. Don't cry over me. Please don't. You have to take care of Kakorroto now. Show me Kakorroto please." The mirror swirled again and it showed a baby being placed into a space pod. "What, what is going on?! I thought I told him I didn't want him in space!" Tears began to come to her eyes. "He won't have a mother or a father. He is an orphan now. Oh my poor baby." She broke down crying again. Kakorroto was crying heavily and he was waving his arms around widly. "He wants to be held. My baby." She put down the mirror not wanting to see what was happening. She was looking at Kakorroto again. An old man was holding him lovingly. She smiled at that picture. Atleast he would have a parent of some sort She had only been there a few days, but her absolute favorite thing to do was watch him. She hated watching Radditz. It just made her even more sad. She didn't want to watch as her son was turned from a child to an adult. But today something told her to watch Bardock. "Please let me see my mate." An image of Bardock getting ready for battle came to her. He took off into the air and into space. "What is he doing?" She watched in horror as he was killed by Freeza. "Bardock!" But there was one thing she noticed. Bardock was screaming out a name. Curious she continued to watch, but there was only space. "I won't ever know what happened to him! Let me see what is happening to him." But the mirror only showed space.

The first thing Bardock noticed about heaven was that everything was very clean. The floor or ground was a white marble. Above that were free flying golden clouds. He looked around in wonder. A few passerbys nodded to him as the walked and continued their conversation. He nodded back never once moving from his spot. He was to far in awe. He had been standing there for quiet some time when someone came up to him. He was wearing much the same thing that all the gaurds were wearing. "Can I help you sir? You seem sort of lost."

"Yeah. I am looking for my mate Destianaia."

"Well I am one of the keepers of time... so let me read your mind so I can get a picture of her." He put his hands about six inches away on either side of Bardocks face and chanted something that Bardock could not understand. "Hey! Your Goku's dad!"

"Uh... what's a Goku?"

"The saviour of the universe! Duh! Oh wait. I am getting ahead of the time again. Of course you don't know who Goku is. You know him as Kakorroto."

"Kakorroto. Saviour of the universe." Bardock busted up laughing. He had never heard anything so rediculous in his life. The man was obviously confused. "I am sorry. But Kakorroto was born with a power rating of 2.3. I find your statement about him hard to believe. Now tell me where my mate is so I can go be with her."

"Oh, right. Sorry. I sort of forgot. I am just so honored to meet you, IN PERSON!"

"Calm down and tell me where she is!"

"Sorry. Destinanaia should be living in the Son circle. Just go down that path and follow all the signs." Bardock nodded and started down the off white marble path. "Your welcome!"

"Whatever," he mumbled to himself. The path eventually came to a cross roads. At it was a pure white sign with arrows on it. In gold writing it told of many different paths. "Straight ahead, more stuff. To the left back to the main entrance. To the right Son Circle. What is up with the name Son? Well better go right." He turned down it. The path was the same as the others. But he soon noticed that the path was turning into a dirt road and that the golden clouds were turning into the country side and a dense forest. He entered the forest. There was a path cut through. It was wide enough to get maybe one car through it. The forest walk was rather long and his feet were tired as he came out into the sunlight again. On top of a hill was a small cottage. He had never seen anything like it before. If he had gone to earth he would have known this cottage to be Goku's, but unfortunanatly he didn't. He immediatly went inside and started looking around. It seemed as if no one had ever been in there before. After waisting a good amount of his time he went back outside. The hill was very high and he was almost level with the trees. But the important thing was that it allowed him to see all of the circle. There were a few other cottages, but the most important to him was the one that looked exactly like his home back on Vegeta-sei. He was very proud of his home. He had built it himself and over the years there were many additions. His favorite was the wrap around porch. It really wasn't nessary, it was just such a nice place. He had built a roof over the whole thing too. It was a place where he could go in the fall while it was raining. He had spent so many hours there. He ran down the hill and straight up to the steps that lead you up to the porch. The whole thing was made of the same strong oak wood. He smiled very happy and opened the door to his house. Everything was as he left it. Even the furniture. He could hear a small sound coming from the kitchen. ~Destinanaia!~

Destinanaia looked back down into the mirror. Still only space. "Maybe it doesn't let me see those who are dead." But she didn't give up. It had been like this for several hours now. Just waiting for the image to change. She was desperate to see him. "Come on you stupid mirror! Just let me see him!" The image didn't change. "Look, all I want to see is what is happening to Bardock. Is that so much to ask for?!"

"No." Her head picked up, but she didn't dare turn it around. That voice, she knew that voice well. It was the voice of her mate, her love, her Bardock. She listened as his heavy foot steps moved from the door to her. Her whole body began to tremble. "What is wrong Love?"

"Bardock!" She ran up and wrapped her arms around his neck. He looked at her surprised for a moment, but then pulled her closer to him. "I missed you so much." But then she broke away. "What were you thinking sending my baby to another planet?!"

"AH! Sorry. I just wasn't thinking right."

"Yeah well, at least he is alive unlike the other Saiya-jins."

"You know about that?!"

"Of course. I know all." She began to laugh evily. He just looked at her like she was nuts. "I have a magic mirror. I found it lying on the kitchen table. And I can see everyone and everything. Except people who are dead. Look. Please let me see my baby Kakorroto." Bardock looked down into the mirror. There was baby Kakorroto, only he was badly hurt and in bed. An old man was sitting by him watching carefully. "What did that man do to my baby?! He better of purposely hurt him!" She looked as if she was going to attack the mirror. Bardock had to hold her back. "Let me go! I want to kill him for hurting my baby!"

"Calm down Destinanaia. There isn't anything you can do right now. Kakorroto will be fine."

"What makes you sound so sure?!"

"Oh you don't know. I could see the future after I was injured. Thank Kami I haven't been able to see it since I got here. It was driving me crazy!"

"What happens to my baby?!"

"Uh... all I know is that he grows up and fights Freeza."

"Does he win?!"

"Sorry. I don't know." He smiled at her and brought her closer. She sighed and put down the mirror. They pressed their lips together for the first time in a long time. Destinanaia finally could call this new home heaven.

It was a few years later when they were awakened early by someone singing. Destinanaia rolled out of bed and looked out the window. An old man was walking down the dirt path to the small mountain hut that was next door to them. It was the old man that had taken care of Kakorroto! "Bardock! Bardock! Get up!" Bardock groaned and rolled over onto his other side. "BARDOCK!"

"AH! I am up! I am up! What?! What?! Where is the problem?!" He looked over to Destinanaia.

"The old man that has been taking care of Kakorroto is here!"

"So the old man finally died?"

"Yeah. He is walking over to that small hut thing."

"You woke me up for that?"

"We are going to go great him. Get dressed." Bardock grumbuled, but complied. When they both looked presentable Destinanaia dragged him out of the house and over to the old mans house. The old man was studying one of the large gardens. He turned around as he heard foot steps. He smiled and waved recognizing one of them. Destinanaia hugged the old man. "Thank you for taking care of my baby. My name is Destinanaia. I am Kakorroto's mother. This is his father Bardock." Bardock nodded to the old man.

"Kakorroto? Oh. I changed his name. It is Son Goku now." Bardock interupted him.

"Oh. So that is where all this Son stuff came from."

"Oh yes. I am very proud of Goku. He is a strong boy. By the way, I am Son Gohan." He bowed to them. Both of them never having been to earth did not understand why the old man was bowing to them. "Hm... tails. May I ask where you come from?" Destinanaia was too busy studying the plants to worry about him.

"Planet Vegeta-sei."

"Space? Hm... not surprising. I suspected something of the sorts. Well, it is good to finally meet you." He smiled again. "Why don't you have a seat?" The old man sat down on the ground. Bardock shrugged and sat down next to where Destinanaia had sat down. "So, I bet you are wondering about your son."

"Not really. Everyone has a looking glass that they can look into."

"Really?"

"Oh yes. You can see everyone you love."

"That is good. Well let me tell you a little anyway. Goku is a strong boy. Very strong. When I first found him it overwhelmed me. But he is such a good boy too. He always does his chores and does a good job of taking care of me. Or I should he did a good job. Anyway, he is the most innocent thing I have ever seen. It is amazing how a kid who loves to fight can stay so innocent. He doesn't understand anything about proper manners and such. It was pretty funny whenever someone came over." He started laughing thinking of all the small adventures he had had with Goku. Bardock and Destinanaia were also thinking about this. They didn't see any humor in it. From that day on though, they spent many days talking with Gohan.

They had been in heaven for almost thirty years in heaven. Every day they talked with their good friend Son Gohan and they watched their family grow through their looking glasses. One day Destinanaia was curious as to what her son Goku was doing. Although Bardock still refered to him as Kakorroto, she prefred to use Goku. "Show me Goku please." The mirror began to swirl like normal. She had known that he was fighting Cell. She was worried about him, yet then again she wasn't. She knew her baby could take care of the monster. Cell's body began to expand and buldge. Goku flew over to him and smiled at her grand son saying something. "Oh god no! Not again!" Goku's and Cell's bodies began to disapear. She then saw him on King Kai's planet saying something to the short blue man. Then Cell exploded. All that she could see was golden coulds and dust from the planets debree. She quietly put the mirror down. She hadn't wanted Goku to die again. He had already died once. Only he couldn't visit them because he was too busy. But now she had a feeling he would have a lot of time with them. She put down the mirror. "BARDOCK!"

Bardock had been sitting on the swinging chair on his porch relaxing as he heard Destinanaia scream out to him. He put down the book he was reading and stepped into the house. She was in the kitchen looking into that mirror again. "Bardock! I have a feeling that Goku is going to come visit us."

"How? Isn't he fighting that big green bug?"

"Um... not anymore. His son is now."

"He died?"

"Yeah. Just now. And if his son wins then he will come visit us. If he doesn't then he might train with the blue guy again." Bardock sighed and went back outside. He didn't really care at the time. What he wanted to do was finish the book the guy named Eistein had given him. It was actually very interesting.

Goku smiled at some of the people and kept moving. King Kai was in a bad mood today so now Goku was going for a walk. His goal was the main entrance. The last time he was there he was moved directly to the Snake Way so he hadn't a chance to explore. He was just walking down the normal white road as he got to a cross roads. "Hm... to go to the main entrance I need to make a left. If I wanted to see more stuff I should keep going straight. But to the right is a place called Son Circle. Hm... hey my name is Son. I should go check it out." He shrugged and made a right not really caring about where he was going or why there was a whole section of heaven devoted to him. He just knew that his name was Son and that this places name was Son.
