She had met them...originally it was fine as just them...but soon he wanted to be more than just them.

(One Week Ago)

Night fell...

Kagome glanced out the window of her still empty room, though no longer was she pestered with the annoying beeps of the heart monitor. No, now it was simply quiet in the room, and while occasionally she allowed the curious question of why she had decided to stay for so long, to enter her head, she could only find one reason, and it was a pretty bad one. "...Vegeta..." she stood and looked at the gray spandex shorts she'd pulled out to train in, and then the black tank top that was lying next to it.

"...it's been such a long time since I've trained, with the exception of firing arrows...and I don't think running around and throwing barriers up to avoid being charred by a ki attack is considered training..." she pulled her pants and Tee off and redressed in the clothes she'd just pulled out a moment ago. Once ready, with her shoes on and tied, she grabbed a ponytail and made her way out of the room, quietly sneaking past the lab where she knew Bulma was still up and working late within.

Opening the front door, she scoffed at the beeping of the house alarm, but kept on all the same. If Bulma caught them, then so be, Trunks was right...if she wanted to be happy, she would have to find her own happiness, and do something to attain it on her own, or else nothing would change. Though, if she thought that word over...them...there wasn't really a them yet...was there?

Vegeta felt her drawing near the Gravity Chamber, his heart sped up ridiculously for some reason or another. He assumed it was because this woman whom he'd found an attraction in, wasn't his wife, and perhaps it was guilt he felt, but he was almost positive that it wasn't. Since his beloved wife's birthday, they had somewhat drifted apart. He could clearly recall being angry after Lord Beerus slapped his wife, but then, running the scenario through his head, he probably would have done worse had he been in Lord Beerus's place, no...he would have done worse. The woman was vulgar at best. Sure she was smart, the blasted woman was the most intelligent being on the planet, and yes, she was rich...as well as beautiful...but she was physically weak. She couldn't take care of herself if her life depended on it, and that wasn't something he was meant to be accustomed to.

No, he wanted to have a strong woman in both mind and body, and while this new woman may not be the most intelligent woman on earth, she was clearly sensible in her thoughts, and common sense was obviously something she'd learned the hard way. On top of that, she was strong, she could protect herself. She wasn't yet physically strong, but unlike his wife, she wanted to train and learn...and while she couldn't fight yet, she could protect herself. She could clearly protect herself. Yes, this woman...this...Kagome...would be his.

Kagome placed her hand on the keypad to the gravity chamber and for a moment, she froze. "Am I really going to do this...?" While her voice was almost nonexistent, it was still overheard by Vegeta, who, to Kagome's surprise, had opened the door as soon as the words had left her mouth.

"Good, you're dressed for a workout, I'll be sure to make it worth your while."

Somehow when he said that, it gave her butterflies in her stomach. She looked at him and noted the change in clothing and the fact that he smelled clean. Not that she cared really about the strong smell of sweat, heavy from a hard workout or the somber undertone of man that was almost constantly hanging in the air around him, but it wasn't expected when she smelt soap and conditioner...mixed with the light caressing touch of sweat that had just started to form along his brow from whatever he'd been doing before opening the door.

"Woman, have your eyes had their fill, or shall we waste a bit more time?"

Kagome blushed and muttered an apology, noticing the smirk on his lips, she guessed he really didn't mind her obvious attraction towards him. 'Does that mean Trunks was right? I mean, I assumed...with all the 'hints' he's been dropping, if you can call them that...but I'm still a bit shocked.'

"We'll start with a simple drill, it will be a warm-up based exercise, meant to get the motions down, muscles warmed up and your blood pumping. Copying my stance first, mirror it exactly," he instructed, pulling his right leg back behind his left by a foot's distance and bending it, placing seventy percent of his weight on his back leg, and only thirty on his front. Both of his hands were drawn up just under eye level so that he could see his opponent, tight fists were created with simple ease. Kagome did the same thing, only opposite, mirroring his stance as best she can. "A little more of a bend to your back leg, but don't lessen it any on your front. It will feel a little awkward at first, but this allows you to quickly kick with your front, whilst keeping yourself balanced and ready for attack. Your fists, don't hide your thumb under your fingers, if you have to, think in your head 'curl your fingers and tuck your thumb' otherwise, when you go to punch, you'll break your thumb."

Kagome looked at her hand and said those silly words out loud as she did the motions, "curl your fingers and...tuck your thumb...?"

"Good, now moving on, bounce lightly on the balls of your feet, once you have a good rhythm going, and a steady pace, jump while bringing your knees past your waist and switch feet, the goal is to land in the same stance on the opposite side. Give it a try..."

Kagome did as told, this was a bit easier for her, being used to running and pacing and timing herself, she bounced lightly, and jumped up, switching her feet in the air so that she landed with her other foot in this time, then did it again, this continued for a few more moments until he held a hand up and stopped her.

"Continuing, jab and reverse. A jab is a punch with the front hand, and a reverse is a punch with the back hand, back foot, back hand, front foot, front hand." He said each of the last four parts while pointing to each respective foot and hand, making sure he knew which he was talking about. He was glad that she seemed to be following the basics rather easily, that meant they could move into the harder things sooner than he'd anticipated. She was human, so he couldn't just beat it into her like he did his son, no...he would have to tenderly educate her...both her mind and body...until they were a warriors body and mind...or until they were his. Whichever came first, he honestly could care less, but her would prefer both. He held his hands up, "You will punch in cross motions, left to left, right to right, when I say Jab, you punch with the front hand, when I say reverse, you punch with the back, and if I say switch, you jump and switch feet. We will start slowly, but I will pick up speed once you get the motions down."

Kagome nodded, "right!"

Vegeta smirked, "Reverse," she punched with her back fist, "harder," he instructed, "jab!" another punch, slightly harder than the last, "harder! Reverse!" once again, she punched with her back fist, this time, he caught it in his hand and pulled so that her back shoulder was pulled a bit forward, "when you punch with the back fist, push your back shoulder forward, throw your weight into the punch, because if you don't, that reverse isn't going to make contact with the target, and if by some miracle it does, physical damage will be nil. You will hurt yourself more than your opponent if you keep going at it the way you are."

Kagome was blushing furiously, and Vegeta just then took in how close he'd pulled her. She was nose to nose with him, her fist clutched firmly in his hands was held at his shoulder's side, and her eyes...those gorgeous starlit blue eyes...were staring straight at him, and he swore they were looking directly into his soul, for whatever there was left of it. Without thinking of his next actions, he leaned forward and could hear her already quickly beating heart pick up its pace even more. Her breath brushing against his lips, and her tongue which she'd unknowingly brought across her own lips in a nervous panic, glided ever so barely across his. He looked her carefully in the eyes, as if asking for permission...why was he asking?! Why was he waiting...? If he wanted something, he should damn well be permitted to have it! But no, not her...he wanted her to want...him.

Kagome shook her head fiercely as if trying to clear her mind and as she felt him release her fist, her eyes widened. She glanced up at him and noted the dejected look in his eyes. 'Does he think I turned him down?! How can I!?' Kagome closed her eyes before throwing caution to the wind...bringing both arms around his neck, she leaned forward and took him by surprise as her lips were quick to steal a kiss from his own moisten lips. It didn't take much...for him to return the heat of the kiss fully...

Me: So I guess the lessons might be a bit delayed, everything I wrote is true to its core, I actually teach martial arts, so…yay~! Maybe that's why I like shows like Avatar the Last Airbender and Dragon Ball Z. Anyways, that was chapter six, I hope you enjoyed it! I'm trying not to rush anything, but trust me when I say it won't always be so easy for Kagome. Things will go backwards, and I'm sure you will all be there to read the chapters when things do. Until then...tell me what you think? Nyan~!
