Fun or Training

March 23, 2018

As the weeks went by leading into months Vegeta seemed to get more comfortable living here amongst the Earthlings, but he spent a good portion of his waking time in the gravity simulator. Bulma had shown him how to use the controls then Keisha had went in with him several times to show him the training that her and Kakarot had done during that six day trip to Namek. Mostly he preferred to train alone able to train at his own pace without the distractions of a partner.

Keisha had made up her own schedule for the gravity ship she wasn't going to let Vegeta get away from her by training in 300 x gravity, when ever he got there. So when he would shut down the simulator to go rest for the night she would go in to train. It wasn't a very even trade off but she was happy with it. He had to start off at 20 times gravity where she could start out at 110 because of her previous training.

"You two numb nuts have to give the machine a break!" Bulma fumed at Vegeta as she stormed into the gravity ship to fix what she believed to be shorted out wires. "I don't understand why you can't train together!" she said irritated as she slammed her tool bag down on the floor then began unscrewing the panel to get at the wiring.

"Shut up and just fix it!" Vegeta grumbled as he crossed his arms over his chest standing behind her watching her curiously.

"Watch it Vegeta all I have to do is rip this wiring out and walk away then it'll never work again." Bulma said as she sat the panel down then glared back at Vegeta. He was getting more and more grouchy by the day the sooner they could wish Goku back the better she would feel.

"Woman I could kill you without batting an eye or coming any where near breaking a sweat so mind your tongue." Vegeta said angrily, she dared to threaten to take away his training his one chance at becoming a Super Sayain and beating that oaf Kakarot.

"You think I don't know that! Ugh! You need me and you know it so hush up and let me work." Bulma said angrily as she leaned under the control panel putting her head inside the machine looking up at the circuitry. "Just frikin great." She said after she examined all the wiring which seemed to be fine then she looked over at the mother board tapping it several times then she reached up and grabbed it and ripped it very unlady like right out of place. She stood up and walked over to Vegeta shaking the mother board in his face. "You see this, you two have completely fried it I have to totally build a new one to replace it." she said angrily right up his his face.

"So fix it already." Vegeta said irritated refusing to back away from this small Human woman.

"Ugh! I can't it's going to take me all day to create a new one which means there will be no training in here today! I'd like to see you try and build one of these!" Bumla yelled shaking the mother board and hitting him in the chest with it repeatedly.

"Woman that's what you are for! Stop nagging at me and fix it, the sooner you get done the sooner I can start training again!" Vegeta growled back at her refusing to raise his voice or react physically knowing the wrong move would kill her and he needed her sadly enough to maintain the machine.

"Good grief what's all this yelling about?" Keisha asked curiously as she walked into the ship yawning and rubbing her eyes. She had been awoken by the angry yelling since her mornings had turned into bed time, being able to use the gravity simulator only at night after Vegeta, had totally jacked up her sleeping schedule.

"You two jerks broke the machine!" Bulma yelled furiously spinning to face Keisha.

"It was fine when I shut it down this morning." Keisha said surprised by this turn of events.

"The machine, actually no machine, is meant to run 24/7 and you two don't even let it cool down before starting back up. You've completely fried the mother board, now it's going to take me all day to create a new one!" Bumla fumed as she stormed over to her tool bag threw the mother board into it then picked up the bag and stormed out.

"Seems we need to leave it shut down at least once a week." Keisha said with a yawn and a shrug as she turned to go back to bed.

"I'll not neglect my training because of a part that could be made better." Vegeta said angrily as he glared at the control panel that had no circuitry to work now.

"I don't think you have a choice. And it's not just you that has to stop training so stop complaining, regular training will be fine for one day." Keisha said dismissively with a wave over her head as she walked down the ramp.

"Tch... you are to easily won over by these weaklings." Vegeta said stubbornly as he walked down the ramp as well intent on doing his old training regiment in the back yard.

"Breath princess it'll be all right." Keisha said sarcastically as she looked back at him from the back door to the Brief family home.

"What did you just call me?" Vegeta asked angrily as he turned to glare at her balling up his fist.

"I didn't studder Vegeta you heard me perfectly fine. You're being overly dramatic over nothing. One day a week you'll train till lunch in the gravity simulator then shut it down then I'll not train at all that night, and you can begin training again after lunch the next day so it will be off for a whole 24 hour period." Keisha said as a compromise to get Vegeta to stop complaining, normally she enjoyed verbally sparing but today with as little sleep as she had it was grating on her last nerve.

"I guess that would work I wouldn't feel the day had been a total waist then." Vegeta said quietly to himself as he looked back over to the gravity ship.

"Great now that your temper-tantrum is over I'm going back to bed, try to keep it down to a dull roar would ya!" Keisha said irritated and with that she disappeared back into the house.

Bulma spent several hours in her lab grumbling about stupid Sayains and their incessant need to fight and train to fight. Late that evening she left her personal lab to return to the gravity ship with a new mother board in hand. She opened the back door to find Vegeta standing in the in the middle of the back yard where he had done his training before the gravity machine was up and running. He was just standing there all tensed up with his arms crossed over his chest and his eyes closed. She stood there silently watching, unwilling to interrupt his image training as the others called it.

Vegeta was standing there in his typical shorts and no shirt his muscles had started to fill out under all the gravity training he had just gotten up to 150 times gravity in the simulator. He could feel her just standing right outside the door and he wondered what that woman wanted now but he refused to acknowledge her presence.

He was a glorious specimen to look at from Bulma's point of view too bad his attitude always sucked the air out of the room. She had watched his training progress and his body change over the last couple months, he was a cutie before but now it was like she was being drawn towards him. Her eyes softened slightly and she regretted yelling at him this morning, he was very dedicated which caused him to become frustrated at his lack of progress in becoming a Super Sayain she could understand the frustration at least.

"Woman why do you just stand there?" Vegeta asked suddenly glancing over at her, she was just standing there and it was grating on his senses taking away from the effectiveness of his training.

Bulma jumped slightly coming out of her own thoughts rather abruptly. "I didn't want to disturb you." she said honestly holding the new mother board in her hands in front of her.

"Tch... You're disturbing me more by just standing there like a lost sheep." Vegeta said irritated as he looked away from her closing his eyes again to resume his training hoping that she would take the hint and do what ever she came out here to do.

"You're an ass, you know that!" Bulma fumed as she stormed by him heading for the gravity ship mumbling to herself about arrogant prince's.

Vegeta opened one eye to watch her go with a smirk on his face he had ruffled her feathers again. He loved the arguments they had she was brilliant and challenged him mentally. During their matches he won about half while she won the other half but he would never verbally acknowledge she had won, but he took extreme pleasure in pushing her into their verbal spars.

"Hey Bulma, you out here?" Yamcha asked as he walked out the back door to the house curiously Mrs. Breif's had told him she last saw Bulma heading out the back door.

"Why are you here weakling?" Vegeta grumbled as he turned to glare at Yamcha, he didn't understand why but this particular Human just made him angry just by breathing it seemed.

"I belong on this planet what's your excuse and why are you shirtless Sayain?" Yamcha asked irritated he didn't like Vegeta or that woman staying here so close to his Bulma. They could kill her or for that matter himself extremely easily.

"I live here Human and I'm training, which is what you are interrupting." Vegeta said angrily as he narrowed his eyes at this irritatingly insignificant specimen of a Human.

"You mean you're living here rent free, off of other peoples hard work." Yamcha said with a smirk as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"That's right." Puar said as she floated along beside Yamcha then ducked behind him quickly.

Vegeta was scowling at the pair, no one talked to him like that. "Ah there you are Yamcha about time!" Bulma said happily as she came out of the ship and running over to him throwing her arms around his neck.

"Yeah I was running late babe sorry." Yamcha said as he picked Bulma up and spun her around several times smirking over at Vegeta.

"Tch!" Vegeta balled up his fists then took off into the air quickly to get away from the two annoying Human's and their incessant lovey dovey nonsense.

"Vegeta...Hum wonder where he is going..." Bulma asked softly when Yamcha put her down and she watched the Proud Sayain Prince flying away.

"Who cares, come on we are going to be late." Yamcha said happily he had gotten under Vegeta's skin and that was a job well down in his book. He wrapped his arm around her waist then turned to lead her back into the house so she could get ready to leave.

"Hey where did Vegeta go?" Keisha asked as she rounded the corner from the kitchen with a glass of water and a sandwich in her hands.

"Who knows and who cares?" Yamcha asked with an obnoxious laugh as Bulma disappeared up stairs to go change for their date. His baseball schedule made things difficult at times to be together since he did a lot of traveling with his team.

"More than if it were you I'm sure." Keisha said as she glared at Yamcha. The boys smart mouth made her want to kill him where he stood every time he came around. "I'm sure you have nothing better to do with your life except come here and antagonize people who could kill you with just a single finger." she said softly but the softness of her tone didn't deter from the obvious threat hidden beneath as she brushed past him to go outside.

"Right..." Yamcha said and laughed nervously as he watched Keisha walk outside unsure if she was going to act on the threat. Sayain's were so unpredictable even Goku had been unpredictable at times and he had know him since he was a boy.

Keisha ate her sandwich and finished her water then sat the glass down on the patio table while watching the sky. She could still feel Vegeta's energy but it was far away and getting farther by the second. She frowned lightly as she glanced over at the gravity machine then back to the sky if she remembered correctly he was heading in the direction of the Son family. "Damn..." she said softly lifting off the ground glancing over at the gravity machine again. 'Oh well...' she thought then took off after Vegeta.

After about five minutes Keisha had caught up with Vegeta. "What do you want?" Vegeta asked annoyed as she came up beside him.

"Just curious what's up here in the mountains that caught your attention." Keisha said as she watched where she was going, she had been right she could feel Gohan and Piccolo's energies getting closer.

"Just wanted away from that house." Vegeta said gritting his teeth as he stared down at the mountains as they passed over them.

"Someone in-particular like an overly attached young Human male?" Keisha asked her tone giving away the smile on her lips.

"That weakling has no business being anywhere near her...I mean... us!" Vegeta said getting slightly pink cheeks turning his face from her trying to hid his embarrassment.

Keisha smiled she had been right that woman's constant bickering with Vegeta was getting to him, attracting him to her, Sayain men were always attracted to strong willed women. "We're getting close to the Son house. Were you wanting to see Gohan or Piccolo?" she asked changing the subject understanding that Vegeta wouldn't want to talk about Bulma or Yamcha at the moment.

"Not really." Vegeta said turning his attentions back to where he was going thankful that his sister had dropped the subject of the Capsule Corps heiress.

"Then lets change course." Keisha said then turned to the left so they could eventually swing back home. That was a strange word after so long without one, but it made life seem richer for some reason.

Vegeta followed her change in course curious as to why he ever listened to her, then he realized that she had always been there throughout everything she had been by his side. That made him trust her implicitly her ideas were usually pretty good, and so where her instincts even if he never would tell her that.

"You know Vegeta another 65 day's and the Earthlings will be able to use the dragon balls to bring Kakarot back." Keisha said glancing over at Vegeta curiously. "What are you going to do when he's back?" it was a question nagging on her mind for the last several days.

"I plan to fight him of course." Vegeta said glancing over at Keisha wondering where this was going, that had been his plan all along and she knew that.

"Vegeta he's a Super Sayain, without that transformation you'll be no match for him and you know that." Keisha said frowning over at him, she knew he would never ask Kakarot for training his pride would never allow such a thing to happen.

"He won't kill me, I'll get stronger and possibly learn the secrets of becoming a Super Sayain." Vegeta said with an eyebrow raised returning his attention to where they were going.

"That's insane. Super Sayain's are ruthless killing machines. He killed Frieza what makes you think that soft hearted idiot will remain in control and not to kill you?" Keisha said shocked as she stopped flying to stare at him like he had lost his ever loving mind.

Vegeta stopped and turned to face her to see her eyes wide and her mouth hanging open in shock. "I have to know how to do it, it's my birth right!" he said angrily gritting his teeth, glaring at her, and balling up his fist.

"Ask him how he did it, ask him how it changed him, ask questions Vegeta." Keisha said coming out of her shock furrowing her eyebrows at him.

"I'll not ask for advice." Vegeta said angrily waving his fist at Keisha.

"Well I'm not going to let you fight him until I see he remains in control." Keisha said glaring right back at her brother unwilling to let him die for nothing.

"You'll not tell me what I can and can't do woman!" Vegeta yelled at her angrily advancing towards her.

"I watched you die on Namek damn it Vegeta, I'll never watch it happen again!" Keisha said angrily as she brought her eyes up to link with his.

The devastation Vegeta read in her eyes made him stop and look away from her. "I have to know Keisha, I have to understand how to do it I'm getting no where in my training." he said glancing back over to her.

"I won't keep you from fighting him once I know he can maintain control Vegeta. Once that's established fight him till you heart is content." Keisha said with a soft sad smile. "Brother I can't loose you again." she said softly as she let her energy take her to where she was directly in front of him.

"I have no intention of loosing." Vegeta said with a huff as he crossed his arms and turned his back to her.

'Emotions are not his strong suite.' Keisha thought with a silent laugh. "Come on big brother lets go home." she said putting her hand on his head and ruffling his hair which was something she had done when they were small children roaming around on Planet Vegeta before Frieza had taken him from their family.

"Tch... don't do that!" Vegeta yelled at Keisha as he swatted her hand away from his head. He had always hated when she did that it reminded him that he was extremely short for a Sayain.

Keisha laughed as she flew back away from him. "Come on keep up." she said laughing some more just before she took off at about half her speed going down to ground level following a twisting and winding river flowing down through the mountains.

Vegeta stayed still with his arms crossed and a sour look on his face for a few moments before glancing around to be sure he wouldn't be seen then followed her trying to catch her. Fun wasn't his forte so he took this as evasive training catching up to her in no time which made her laugh more and increase her speed.
