I do not own DBZ or IS. I do own the the Original Character but not his name.

Chapter 2: My reasons

The day is over. Students and faculty have returned to their rooms for the night. News has spread quickly about a man that claims he can defeat all the I.S. suits and his mysterious connection with Houki Shinonono and their beloved instructor Chifuyu Orimura. Both of whom seemed to know the man.

Houki sits at her desk staring out the window. "Why did he come back now?" Then she looks down at the sword she has not unwrapped yet. Proceeding to grab it and try to open it.

"Hey Houki, can I ask you something?" Houki stops and turns to face Ichika, who happened to be put in the same room because of the his special situation.

"What is it?" Houki responds trying to wear a smile.

Ichika ponders how to put it, then says. "That guy from early, what was his name Vegeto (purposeful spelling error so you know he says it wrong), he seemed to know you and sis from before the I.S. was even invented, but how come I never met him before?"

"His name is Vegito, and you never met him because he disappeared a couple of months before I join the dojo where you and I met." Houki said trying to end the conversation with that.

-Meanwhile in Chifuyu's room-

Chifuyu exits her bathroom. "Ah that felt great! I needed that after today." She then dries her hair in a towel.

"You always did take really long baths even when we were kids."

"That voice." Chifuyu turns quickly to see Vegito sitting on her bed. "What the hell are you doing in here, more importantly how did you get in here?!" Then realizing that she was only wearing a towel which made her turn red.

Vegito, unaffected by her appearance, begins saying, "I'm here because I need to ta-" Suddenly a trash can hit him in the face knocking him behind the bed. "OW! What was that for?" he said as the trash can fell on his head covering his face.

"Don't you know it's rude to be in a girl's room when she's practically naked?!" Chifuyu shouted angrily.

"Vegito sits up rubbing his head. "I don't what the big deal is, we used to take baths together and we were naked then."

Chifuyu becomes even more furious. "Yeah when we were 5 and what we looked like didn't matter, we're adults now and we can't just casually walk in on each other anymore!"

Vegito stands up crossing his arms. "Ok I get, I'll make it fair then."

Chifuyu gets confused. "Fair?"

All of a sudden Vegito starts taking off his shirt. Much to Chifuyu's distress she knew that he would have no issue with completely stripping down but was not mentally prepared for something like that. "Stop that right now!" Vegito stops and looks at Chifuyu with a confused look. Chifuyu then notices a large scar running across his chest making her pause for a second. She then manages to speak up, "Just wait outside for me to get dressed."

"Oh, ok then." Vegito says walking out the door, forgetting his shirt, and taking a seat in front of it with his back turned to it.

-Around the corner-

A group of girls were eavesdropping to find out what was going on. One girl peers around the corner to see Vegito sitting down in front of the door. "Oh my god, it's the guy from earlier but what was he doing in Orimura sensei's room?" The girl turns back to the rest. Another girl says "What's he look like?" The first girl says, "He so hot, you just have to see for yourself." The rest of the girls peer around the corner to see nothing. "No one's there." The first girl gets shocked, "What he was there a second ago, where could he have gone? Did he go back in Sensei's room already?"

"What are you girls looking at?" Vegito says standing next to them jokingly looking around the corner as well.

The girls jump in surprise. "AHH!"

One girl points at Vegito and shouts out. "How did you get there when you were right there a second ago?!"

Vegito shrugs his shoulders. "I walked."

"No way no one is that fast even while running." The girl retorts back.

"Vegito, where'd you go?" Chifuyu shouts not knowing where he went.

"I'm right here Fuyu-san, talking to some of your students who seemed to be playing spies." Vegito says waving at Chifuyu.

The girls all run away in fear of getting in trouble.

Vegito walks back to Chifuyu's room. "So are you going to hear me out now?"

Chifuyu chuckles. "Yes, now put your shirt back on." Throwing his shirt to him.

Vegito sits back on Chifuyu's bed and Chifuyu sits next to him. She asks. "So what is it you want to talk to me about?"

Vegito holds up 2 two fingers. "There are two things actually. First I've decided to accept being a 'teachers assistant' here on the pretense that I don't teach but keep the students in check."

"Chifuyu becomes slightly confused. "What that was a joke and keep them in check? Besides I don't have the authority to give you that position."

Vegito laughs. "Joke or not I think it's a good idea and by 'keeping them in check' I mean your little brother is likely a hot topic with the girls at this school and will likely get swarmed by the girls here, on a daily basis by my guess. I'm not here to ask for the spot I'm here to tell you I accepted the job."

Chifuyu stands up in shock. "What how can that be, the only way to get a job here is to get the board's approval and they don't convene until next week."

Vegito grabs Chifuyu's arm to calm her down. "Relax Fuyu-san. My connections with Capsule Corp got me the job; to be honest it was actually faster than I thought it would be."

Chifuyu sits back down. "Ok, so what's the second thing?"

Vegito gets serious. "The second thing is…"

-Back in Houki and Ichika's room—

"So you're saying that he just up and left you guys 10 years ago without so much of a word?" Ichika asks trying to pry information out of Houki.

Houki responds. "Yes, now would you please just drop it." (She obviously doesn't want to talk about it bro.)

Ichika grabs Houki by the shoulder. "Ah! Ichika?! What are you doing?"

"This is obviously bothering you, so I want to know who he is and why he bothers you so much!"

Houki blushes. Then head to the bathroom. "I-I'm going to take a bath so don't bother me." She slams the door behind her.

Ichika exhales. "Why won't she talk to me about it? Oh well maybe I should wait until she's ready."

-15 minutes later-

Knock Knock Knock

"Huh, who could that beat this hour?" Ichika heads to the door. Ichika opens the door to find Vegito standing there. "You're the guy from class today. What are you doing here?"

Ignoring his question Vegito says. "Yo, Orimura-kun is Houki-chan here?"

"Umm, yea but why do you want to know?" Ichika says while slightly nervous.

Vegito walks in the room. "Great! Where is she?"

Ichika turns around to face Vegito. "Well she's taking a bath."

"Man why does that keep happening?" Vegito crosses his arms. "Ah I see, do you know how long she'll be?"

Ichika shrugs his shoulder. "No idea, she might be I there for a while. What is it you want with her anyway?"

Vegito again ignoring his question says. "Oh yeah, Fuyu-san wants to talk with you, you should probably head down to her room now."

Ichika gets surprised. "What does she want with me?"

Vegito pushes Ichika out of the room. "No idea but I wouldn't make her mad if I were you. Ok bye." Then Vegito closes the door behind Ichika.

Vegito scans the room to look for something to occupy his time while waiting for Houki to get out of the bath. Then he notices the katana still in its wrapping. "Oh she hasn't opened it yet, I see." He then walks over to the sword and proceeds to unwrap the cloth around the blade and its sheath. "I haven't polished this in a while I should probably do it before Houki-chan decides to open it herself." Vegito unsheathes the katana and examines his work. "Ah, I knew it, it needs some polishing." He sits on a bed holding the blade up and towards himself and proceeds to polish the blade.

-5 minutes later—

Houki leaves the bathroom dressed in her robe and heads to her side of the room and proceeds to change, with the dividing wall up (Pervs). When she finished she notices that the katana was not where she left it. "Hey Ichika, did you pick up the katana that I left next to the chair?" With no response she decides to remove the divider. "Hey did you hear me?! Houki sees that it's not Ichika but Vegito.

"I heard you Houki-chan but I'm not Orimura-kun." Vegito said while sheathing the sword. "I was really hoping to finish polishing the blade before you came out the bath."

Houki jumps back tripping on her bed and falling onto it. "AHH!"

Vegito jumps up in concern. "What's wrong?!"

Houki sits up. "What are you doing here?!"

Vegito sighs. "Why is it that's all I get asked?"

"Answer my question, why are you here?!" Houki shouts in anger

Vegito puts up his hands to try and calm her down. "Ok ok, I'm here to see how you are."

Houki just glares at him.

Vegito rubs the back of his head. "Alright you caught me, I'm here to offer an apology to you for leaving 10 years ago; however I doubt anything I say or do will help at this point." He then sits back down. "I'll offer you something to try and make up for it."

Houki, still glaring, says. "And what might that be?" What's he up to?

"Vegito closes his eyes and crosses his arms. "You can ask me any one question and I promise to answer it no matter what it is."

Houki becomes surprised by this and breaks eye contact because of it. "Are you serious? I can ask you something that might be embarrassing for you."

Vegito doesn't react. "If that's what it takes to make up for the pain that I undoubtedly caused you then so be it."

Houki thinks for a second and decides on a question. "Ok then I want you to tell me the reason why you just left 10 years ago, and I'll know if you're lying."

"Alright, this is going to take a while." Vegito motioned for Houki to sit next to him on the bed.

Houki sits next to him and he grasps his hand thinking. "Now where to begin, I suppose from the start would be best." He exhales deeply. "Houki-chan do you remember the stories I used to tell you when you were a child?"

Houki looks at him confused. "A little bit but what do they have to do with this?"

"I never got to finish the story, there was something after the battle with the evil gum monster. Years after the battle had ended the warrior prince wanted to rebuild his people but knew that using the dragon spheres to bring them back wouldn't be the right thing because his people were evil. So he decided it would be better to start from scratch so he pleaded with his wife whom he knew could find a way to recreate his near extinct race. After nearly a year of practically begging his wife, she finally agreed to try and complete his request. The next step was to convince his longtime rival, the strong fool, that they need to be around for the next generation to instruct them down the right path. The strong fool agreed on the condition that they do not interfere with society outside of their objective of teaching the younger generation and once they finish, they would disappear from this world."

Houki just becomes perplexed after taking in all of it in. "What do these old stories have to do with you leaving?"

Vegito raises his hand to stop Houki. "Patience Houki-chan you'll find out soon enough."

Lowering his hand Vegito continues. "It took nearly 50 years before the process made any considerable progress on the creation of the warriors' race however the 2 warriors had already left society and began their hermitage in the wilderness waiting for the process to be completed. It took another 50 years for the team to make a stable subject that was able to hold a physical form. However in fear that the subject may become unstable they choose not rush and kept it in the incubation process, as a fetus until they were absolutely certain that the subject wouldn't die. Another 20 years passed until they finally decided to wake it up. Being the first successful subject he was treated as near royalty and was taught as much information as they could possibly force into his brain. After a few years he would start escaping because he was not allowed to go outside unless accompanied by a guard. During one of these excursions he met two young girls playing in a park who he quickly became friends with starting a lifelong friendship with the 2."

Houki's eyes widen when she starts to realized where this is going.

"And when the subject became 15 he was visited by the strong fool who wanted to take him away to teach him about his true heritage. The boy didn't want to leave his friends who he had known for 10 years and their families who he had grown to care for so much but he realized that leaving and becoming stronger would help him to keep them safe. Right as he agreed he was taken to the wilderness in an instant."

Houki covers her month in disbelief.

"And the name of that boy, is Vegito."

Houki stands up trying to absorb all this unbelievable information she was just told. "Those stories you used to tell me were true?"

Vegito nods. "Yes."

Houki points at him. "So you left because of some desire to get stronger?"

Vegito is still sitting calmly. "That's only part of it, I left so I can become strong enough to protect those I care about most; Tabane, Chifuyu and you."

Houki becomes so mad that she starts to tear up. "Do you have any idea how much sis and I missed you?! We had no idea what happened to you or where you were!"

Vegito stands up. "I know, I know but I couldn't-"

Suddenly Houki starts hitting Vegito's chest repeatedly. "We didn't need you to get stronger. We needed you to be there for us!"

Vegito winces for a moment, realizing she was talking solely about herself, and quickly hugs Houki to calm her down. Causing her to gasp. Wrapping one arm around her back and placing his hand on her head, to try and calm her down. "I'm sorry for what I put you through, I promise to not put you through that ever again, my little Houki-chan."

Houki clinches onto his shirt, tears still running. "S-Stupid brother…."

All of a sudden the door opens and in walks Ichika. "Man all she wanted was a message because some old friend shows up all of a sudden man what a pain." He then sees Vegito hugging Houki and he becomes very confused, then mad when he realizes Houki is crying. "Hey! What's going on here?"

Vegito once again ignores Ichika, makes some space between him and Houki. "Alright. I kept my end of the bargain." Tapping her nose and says. "But remember it'll be our little secret ok." Then walks toward the door.

As he walks by Ichika he whispers in his ear. "You and I will talk later, but for now try to comfort Houki-chan." Then leaves the room.

Ichika turns to try and catch him but he was gone. "Huh, he's gone?" He turns back towards Houki, who is now sitting on her bed wiping her tears away. "What was that about Houki and why are you crying?"

Houki looks at Ichika with a genuine smile. "That's a secret. Now let's get some rest."

Ichika calms down seeing her smile. "Ok, sure."

-topmost part of the school—

Vegito sits on top of the building, in a meditative state. "Is there any luck in your search Dende?"

A voice in Vegito's head says back. "Sorry Vegito she's hidden herself quite well."

"I suppose she has, oh well, thanks for trying. You can stop looking now; since I'm going to spend every day with her sister she'll show herself eventually."

The voice responds. "If you say so."

Vegito stands up. "Well I suppose I should head to that new apartment the Briefs were kind enough to get me." Places two fingers on his forehead and vanishes.

-In some remote location—

A picture appears on screen of Vegito in the classroom from earlier in the day. "Oh, so he's finally decided to show himself after all this time. I'll just see what he does for now."

What is it that Vegito talked with Chifuyu about and what does he need to say to Ichika find out next time on "The Test Subject!"

Like with the last chapter I encourage all reviews, comment, speling or grammer corrections and even suggestions. I want this to be as good as possible that's why I take all criticism

I'm also starting to work on a second crossover with Yu Yu Hakusho and Rosario Vampire so expect it sometime in the near future.
