"I couldn't care less"


"Your flight is in an hour, right?" Vegeta let out; for him, it wasn't a problem that his friend Goku was leaving Hercule City. He could, after all, visit him wherever he was by flying. It would take some hours, but a fight with his strongest rival would be worth it.

"Yes," Goku replied. To think that in the past months he wished with all his forces this day never came. Now he couldn't wish more to stay away from this city, from all his memories. Because, yes, now they were only that, memories. Memories that would never come back no matter how hard he wished them to.

"I'm still saying it; you are lucky they selected you to be in their academy, don't forget that"

"I couldn't care less about it"

The funeral was fast and short, like all in Hercule City. Every friend of his grandma came, even Puck and Vegeta did. Goku could appreciate a soft side of both his friends, which pleased him.

But still, he thought it wasn't what his grandmother deserved. She deserved more.

"And I'm still saying this, too; I'm sorry for your grandmother, Goku"

"And I will reply you, I don't need your pity," Goku said with a frown. How he hated when someone showed pity for him; it made him feel so weak. Goku knew it was natural for his friends to feel bad for him, but still, couldn't they leave their feelings for themselves?

"Sorry for showing my friend that I care, then. You are taking this surprisingly well, don't you?"

"It was what grandma Pan would have wanted" He replied. Goku knew he was right; his grandma wouldn't like to see him crying like a stupid baby in front of everyone. He did enough of that already when she...fell asleep.

Forever.

"Well, whatever…" Vegeta said as he threw his ball to the air, and high. It wouldn't come down for some time.

"Stop being an idiot and do something good today. Fight me" Vegeta told Goku. He knew how much fights thrilled his rival, and he could say the same of himself. It was like his body needed the battles, it was in his veins. The feeling when he fought with Goku was almost too overwhelming. His mother told him that he descended from a lineage of strong warriors that came from space.

An unbelievable story, to say at least. Vegeta would definitely not believe it at all if it wasn't for that.

"…Sorry, Vegeta. I'm not the in the mood to fi-" Goku couldn't end his phrase, as he was punched by the fist of Vegeta, all in the jaw. He was sent flying, leaving the cemetery and landing in the neighboring forest. Vegeta reached for him, and once he found Goku, he stood in front of his rival.

"Are you deaf or what? I told you to stop being an idiot, idiot"

Goku stood up with a menacing glare, a trail of blood escaping from his lips. Couldn't Vegeta stop being a selfish moron with their fights for a moment and leave him alone?

"So it will be like that then…" Goku said, spitting blood to the side. He wouldn't have it this time, not from Vegeta, who was making a taunting motion with the hand.

"Come"

And those simple words were enough for the brutal clash to start. Goku lost last time, he will not show any kind of mercy, that was certain. He could be alike with Goku in many ways, but he was different in even more.

That, and he was pissed off.


"Son Goku Junior, I see"

An image of a spiky-haired teenager was being displayed in a room. Particularly, the Student Council room, where the important meetings took place.

"Yes, Lady Satsuki, he is the prodigious student who will show up today, from Hercule City's Orange-Star High School," Inumuta told the Student Council President, changing the image to one where his grades were showed, a perfect 10 in every one of them.

"Look at his haircut! He looks like a juvenile delinquent! I don't think he should be accepted in this sacred academy!" Gamagori shouted.

"I think it looks cute!" Nonon said.

"You already saw his grades, Gamagori, why are you complaining? It's just a haircut" Sanageyama replied to his partner.

"Once he arrives at Honnouji Academy, I will make sure he takes care of that haircut! And if he doesn't follow the rules, he will be immediately expelled!"

Everyone just gave Gamagori a look, before turning their gazes to Inumuta.

"And what is so special about him that makes you think he is worthy of Lady Satsuki's time, apart from that nice haircut, dog?"

Inumuta frowned. There was only one person in the world that called him "dog".

Jakuzure.

"What makes him special is the next image" Inumuta replied, before proceeding to change the image displayed, to one with Goku appearing, again, but there was a little detail that differenced the image from the first

Said little detail was that his hair was even spikier and golden-colored now, an aura of the same color involving him.

Everyone saw the image and started to say their opinions about it.

"He colors his hair! He definitely can't be in this school!" Gamagori shouted, rage filling his eyes. How could they accept such a rebellious boy?!

"Boooring!" Sanageyama shouted as well.

"He likes to color his hair?" Nonon asked.

"Why all of you seem to ignore the fact that he has a golden aura surrounding him?" Inumuta told the three, who were too busy saying what they thought, making them not hear whatever thing he said.

"Enough" Satsuki calmly told, her Elite-Four going silent when she did so.

"Inumuta, if this is all you have to show, I'm starting to doubt your position in the Elite-Four"

The one mentioned felt a shiver go down his spine. "N-no, Lady Satsuki, this isn't all I have to show…"

Inumuta changed the image, and footage was being displayed now. It was from one of the many hidden cameras Honnouji Academy had in order to monitor the country of Japan.

Said footage showed Goku exchanging blows with another boy, with air as spiky, but more flame-like. The boy in the footage threw a kick that sent Goku crashing in a little hill. Then, to everyone's amazement, a golden aura surrounded Goku, his hair was rising more, and the color changed to a ferocious gold.

Satsuki watched with wide eyes how Goku released a wave of Ki, and then the footage ended.

"Why did it end there?!" Sanageyama shouted, all his enthusiasm going down. To say he was amazed would be an understatement. His blood pumped at the idea of fighting those two.

"The camera was destroyed by an unknown force" Inumuta couldn't help but reply.

"An unknown force, you said?!" Gamagori was as surprised as Sanageyama.

Satsuki coughed in order to catch their attention. She did, as expected.

"Inumuta, do you have an explanation for this?"

Inumuta just sighed. "Unfortunately, no. I have searched for all the hidden files in the government in order to know more about this, but there is nothing. Nothing that can explain this phenomenon"

Satsuki sipped her tea. "You all can leave, this meeting is finished"

"Yes, Lady Satsuki," The Elite-Four said, before leaving.

Satsuki couldn't help but think that this boy would prove interesting at least a bit.
