The leaves were no longer just colorful but crisp and scattered all along the floor of the mountain range in the 433rd area, the sun peaking over to shine upon the home bustling with excitement. This was a modest home, one that housed two women and two men- one of which was human and three of which were descendants of a long since extinct race of aliens called Sayjins.
Gohan was busy getting ready for school- it was almost December and finals for the first semester were fast approaching. Goten was running around the house as usual, playing and eating breakfast while his brother got ready for school. Chichi was fretting around the house, cleaning up after the massive breakfast she had prepared for her endlessly hungry Sayjins. Kitsuni observed on the sidelines, cracking a smile every now and then at Chichi's antics and Goten's adorable mannerisms.
Ever since that night two months ago things around the house were changing.
Gohan insisted that Videl was just a friend he was concerned for because she was human and fragile, a person who needed to be protected because she was daring and had no fear, even in the face of deathly circumstances.
Then to make up for the time not spent at home, he had started training Videl closer to home so that he could also spend time with Goten, Trunks, and Kitsuni, just like before- only with the human tagalong.
Most of the time spent training was between Gohan and Videl- as she was determined to learn to fly like they could… a time that could have been spent making Kitsuni strong enough to become a Super Sayjin. During the past two months Kitsuni continued to train, however, she relied less and less on Gohan for support and help and began to seek her own independence from the young man that obviously preferred the company of the fragile young human woman.
Yes, Kitsuni was still very jealous of their relationship.
So much so, that she was determined to get that breakable human woman to fly, even if it was the last thing she did! She would do anything to get that Videl to leave Gohan alone again; she wanted things to go back to the way they were before Gohan had started going to Orange Star High School. She would do anything to get those days back- even help the fragile human woman get her wings.
So it was Saturday, a day that usually involved spending time together without the human- but unfortunately she had been coming around even on the weekends to try to fly.
Kitsuni was fed up.
Determination powering her stride, the young Sayjin woman power walked all the way to where the couple was training- Videl moaning and groaning while she tried to push her chi to lift her, and Gohan there gawking at the woman like she was something to look at. Pathetic!
Goten and Trunks stopped their bantering and play fighting to pay attention to what was about to happen.
"Listen up human, you're never going to learn to fly with all of that needless noise!" Kitsuni nearly growled in the tone like that of a drill sergeant.
"Kitsuni! Take it easy!" Gohan admonished.
"No Gohan, you have been taking it easy and this human will never learn with your gentle hand! She had been coming up here for nearly two months now and has accomplished almost nothing! I'll teach her to fly." Kitsuni declared with a glare to both Gohan and Videl, challenging either one of them to stand up against her. She was half tempted to rip off someone's head- if only to appease her irritation with the both of them.
Gohan and Videl traded weary glances at each other before Videl smiled and accepted Kitsuni's offer with an outstretched hand…
That was soon withered away by the burning glare Kitsuni gave the offending appendage. Her goal was not to befriend the girl, but to get rid of her.
"I guarantee you will fly; but you must do as I say, deal?"
"Deal." Videl responded, punctuating the word with force when she realized that the Sayjin girl was not in it to become her friend but to simply teach her and then get rid of her.
"You will do everything I say from now until the day you learn to fly, and as repayment, I hope you practice and train with your own kind and allow us to go back to real training." Kitsuni stated with a slightly upturned nose, gazing at the young woman with half lidded eyes as if to look bored and uninterested in her response.
"I'll do that gladly, I don't want to be where I'm not wanted." Videl responded with both hands on her hips.
"Buut…"
"Don't say a thing Gohan, this is an agreement between us, so stay out of it!" Videl warned, knowing that the young man was far too kind in training her during this time without payment and with her holding him back from real training.
"I'm glad we understand each other- now let's begin." Kitsuni said with a smile, leading the young woman away from the group of Sayjin males.
True to her word, Kitsuni taught the young woman to fly-
All it took was tough training-
And fear
You see, Kitsuni was not at all as patient as Gohan to allow the young woman to happen upon the ability to fly after endlessly concentrating on her chi.
Videl knew to call upon her chi, she knew to manipulate it, and all she needed now was a push…
A nice big push…
Right off the mountain cliff.
And wouldn't you know that about a little more than half way down the fragile human finally learned how to fly?
Yes, well she did.
And now everything was right with the world, or so Kitsuni thought.
But alas, her hopes were dashed when Gohan was angry at her for her training methodology, and lack of concern for his fragile little pet human.
It didn't really matter, Gohan would so forget his anger and the fragile human would now be out of their way when it came to training, and things could finally go back to the way they were. Gohan's anger was a little price to pay in return for regaining his attention again.
However, Kitsuni had not counted on Gohan going back to staying in town late again now that Videl was no longer coming to visit them.
Damnation!
-…..-…-…..-…-
Both Trunks and Goten were no longer oblivious to the jealousy that sparked Kitsuni- especially now that Videl and Gohan spent so much time together after school and on weekends after Videl had learned how to fly.
They both did their best to distract the young Sayjin woman, they would beat her sometimes almost to an inch of her life, only to have her recover and do it all again. She wanted to become a Super Sayjin like they all were, and unfortunately it seemed much more difficult to achieve for someone that was a full blooded Sayjin.
The boys kept it up though, and they both worked with Kitsuni to get her to become a stronger Sayjin since Gohan was very much occupied with school, Sayaman, and Videl. As December came and went and January began the start of a new year, the three: Kitsuni, Goten, and Trunks, became more of a team and began training at Trunks house, using the gravity machine and teaming up with Vegeta to increase the level of training for the three of them.
Kitsuni was soon all too wrapped up in her goal of becoming a Super Sayjin in order to impress Gohan that she had not dedicated any time to spending time with him. A mistake that caused both Gohan and Videl to grow closer to one another, and unbeknownst to her, start a dating relationship.
Prince Vegeta knew what was going on, and he reveled in the passion that the young Sayjin woman had towards accomplishing her goal of becoming a Super Sayjin. It was refreshing to see someone share the passion he had to become stronger, and it was satisfying to see someone else struggle with it just as he had. It was refreshing knowing that everyone else had accomplished the goal you worked so hard for with ease, but not quite, for here was this young woman, struggling to keep up with the likes of Goten and Trunks.
Yes, quite refreshing indeed.
Now what could he, the Prince of Vegeta, possibly do in order to push the girl off the cliff to finally fall and become the first Super Sayjin in the universe?
Well, surely there was something he could do.
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, he had a brilliant plan to awaken the Super Sayjin in her.
He had to smirk to himself, he was absolutely not only unfathomably strong, but also a genius.
