Interlude II
I was right. Professor Chikara Daikon is Saiya-jin and he knows who I am. I still can't remember who he is, and I really should. I'm not happy about this. Not just that I can't remember, but the way he's acting towards me. Not only is he not showing me the respect I deserve, he's going out of his way to humiliate me. Who the hell does he think he is? Our race may be gone for the most part, but he's still a Saiya-jin and I'm still his better.
He's a lot stronger than he should be though; I give him that. Obviously those years I was in cryogenic freeze; he was training. I never really thought running around chasing what this planet terms as "evil beings" would do much for anyone, but it's been of some use to him. Either that or he's spent a lot of his spare time training. All of it, probably.
Malfoy and his brain-dead flunkies are learning to avoid me. This is good. They are useless to me. I can tell they're curious as are the rest of the Slytherin. Even that stupid Potions master, Snape, is curious about me. But they don't ask too many questions. I guess this vague and insipid cover-up as a Crabbe, works. Funny how no one has seemed to notice that I look absolutely nothing like a Crabbe.
Kakarotto… the sooner he's gone the better. He's the most annoying creature I've ever dealt with in my life and I'm ashamed to admit we're both of the same race. He must have been horribly injured to knock out his programming and to be so damned stupid. It's taking everything I have not to eliminate him now and to hell with the consequences. But I have to be careful. I know what happens if I'm not careful.
These people can kill with words. If I didn't know myself better, this would scare me. I am smart enough to be worried by it. Worried and fascinated. What power is it that words can kill? And how did these people tap into it? If "Professor Daikon" is right, the power a Saiya-jin holds is of the same type they have, we just manipulate it differently. If that's correct, then I have the power within me; I just have to learn how to control it in a different way. This won't be easy. But, if I'm lucky, Professor Daikon will show me how it's done. Then, when I've learned, he's gone too. Just for his attempts to humiliate me, while he sucks up to Kakarotto! Why should he care about some low-class Saiya-jin warrior with about as much brains as a stick? Or has he fallen for that "aren't I just a cute little fucker?" attitude the brat seems to wear like a second skin. Doesn't anyone see? He's not cute; he's just an idiot. But everyone around here mollycoddles him like he's some sort of pet.
This school is harder than I thought it would be. I'm still taking those stupid make-up classes and they assured me they had taught me enough that I wouldn't be in them for long. My "father" tells me two weeks to a month is nothing, but I'm still ashamed. Treated like a young child who knows nothing. I haven't been a child for years, despite my appearance. Yet, sadly, there are things I don't know. They should have been teaching me more.
At least I've learned to tune out my roommates and their noise when I'm trying to sleep. That's something right there. It's probably out of simple self-survival. They are a noisy bunch. Malfoy had the nerve to tell me he woke up the other night and heard me snoring. Sure, Malfoy. I ignored him, because I felt my only other option would have been to hurt him.
Crabbe, (and if Goku is an idiot, I have to admit one thing, Vincent Crabbe makes him look positively brilliant) also is a little too curious about my sleeping habits. He said he woke up the other night and I was gone. He wanted to know where I had been. Sure, Crabbe, I just got up in the middle of the night to go for a walk in the woods. I was sleeping; the moron just didn't see me. Not that I care, but he must have pestered me for a good five minutes. "Where were you, Vegeta? What were you doing?" All with this dopey grin on his face like he and I are buddies or something.
I don't get enough time to train in this school. Well, the weekend is coming and
Author's Notes: Yes, this chapter does end abruptly. It is not a mistake.
