Chapter 7: Let's Begin.

Punch.

Kick.

Swipe.

Kakarotto grunted as he trained in the Gravity Room. He was getting confused and angry. Confused because she like him enough to be close enough but backed away from it. Angry because he didn't understand it either. How does one woman manage to do that? He concluded it was because she was an Amazon and Amazons were not human females. They were totally different. RIGHT????

Punch.

Kick.

Swipe.

The more he thought about it the more it seemed to make his head hurt and stomach rumble. If women were a puzzle then that female warrior was a damn enigma. One minute she was warm and the next she was a cold to fever pitch. But the thing was she was constantly challenging him, constantly going at him. She was annoying him but still he liked her a lot.

"Damn that woman" Kakarotto growled.

He was starting to wind himself up over her, brilliant, just what he needed. It was fuelling his anger, something he rarely felt. He paused for a moment, taking a moment to take a deep breath. He needed to be calm when he trained, if he didn't he would hurt himself. He licked his dry mouth and groaned as he closed his eyes; he could still taste her on his lips. She tasted unique and very sweet, arousing his memory of her till his sensors quivered.

He growled making his eyes snap open.

"Damn that woman" Kakarotto grunted, almost throwing a ki blast.

Exhaling noisily he looked towards the clock in the Gravity Room. He had been in there since Chichi left, which had been seven hours. He was tired but the back of his mind kept on telling him to keep on training. He didn't know what kind of tricks that female count pounce on him. He knew she could potentially blind in the fight if she wanted to and strike him down. She was possibly very fast too. He could feel that from every twitch her muscles made while they fought and whenever she disappeared from him. She was a graceful fighter, a very worthy fighter and maybe a potential…mate?

He quickly shook his head of that.

INSANE!

Why have a mate that would confuse the hell out of you? But damn did she make him groan by the simple taste of her lips.

"Damn that woman" Kakarotto grumbled.

Kakarotto then walked up to a panel and turned the Gravity off, feeling his body lightened against his feet, returning to normal. He turned and walked out of the room hoping his thoughts of her would go away, they were annoying him. As he approached his room he saw the bold monk coming up.

I wonder what he wants now…

"Hi Kakarot" Krillin said.

"Hello Krillin. What do you want?" Kakarotto asked, before blinking at his manner. "Sorry, I've been up all night, a little cranky".

"That's okay, I hang around Piccolo" Krillin said.

"The namek? I thought they were peaceful and calm creatures" Kakarotto said.

"Well not Piccolo, he likes being grumpy" Krillin chuckled. "Anyway I was wondering how the training was going".

"Fine, I am getting stronger" Kakarotto said.

"You know that strength isn't going to be enough to beat her" Krillin said grimly.

"I know that" Kakarotto said "I am a trained fighter since I was born, strength just gives you an edge."

"Well I could give you more of an edge against her if you like" Krillin said.

"I don't cheat" Kakarotto said, frowning.

Krillin rolled his eyes at the Saiyan.

"I'm a monk, cheating is very low thing for us but that wasn't what I was going to suggest" Krillin said.

"Then what would it be?" Kakarotto asked.

Vegeta was walking around the huge Palace alone after he ditched Napa. That saiyan was a brown noser and as dull as watching the grass grow. He wouldn't strike up a conversation with him unless it was to advise on certain Royale Problems. He was beginning to regret placing Kakarot off duty till the match was over. At least he'd talked about anything. Maybe he missed the incessant babbling. ACK! That was very un-saiyan of him to think of that!

"I've been on this rock for too long" the Prince muttered.

Almost a week to be exact from counting every sunset he saw. He had a feeling that the King of Earth was rubbing off on him, unlike his father, the king here never took sides of an argument or scare people to keep them under his rule. He was in fact one of the nicest people around, although a little bit lenient at times. His father would say weakness; the king would have said kindness. He was starting learn that there was more than one way ruling a planet, especially without fear. Fear led to stuttering which he absolutely hated if wasn't from his enemy or from someone he hated. The amount of times he wasted time trying to understand a stuttering servant or soldier was ridiculous enough for him to blow them up but didn't. His father would have and he'd be damned if he turned out anything like him. Then quite suddenly there was a loud trill of beeps hit the air, alerting the Prince of his wrist communicator.

"Prince Vegeta speaking" the Prince said in his native tongue, after tapping a button.

"Sire, one of Vegetsai satellites scanners have picked up on something long range."

"How far may that be?"

"About 7.5 trillion K's from Earth"

"Have you scanned the area?"

"Yes sir and it seems to be from the battle ground"

Vegeta started to feel like he ate something REALLY bad. Wasn't that were that psychotic ice-jin had taken his last breath?

"Do you know what this something is?"

"It's a missing planet my lord"

"How recently has it been missing?"

"A couple of days ago. But there had been so much chaos there that we believe it may have collapsed in itself naturally."

"Very well but I would keep an eye out, understood?" Vegeta said.

"Very well, my lord"

With that the communicator was closed off for now. Sighing, Vegeta felt he needed a very strong drink to calm his nerves of that little info and began to walk again down the corridors. He remembered the day that Frieza had been taken down. Many saiyans and humans alike had lost there lives fighting that freak. He nearly lost his life to that freak too if it hadn't been for a senzu bean. He could still feel his bones bending and breaking inside of him from his powers.

He not only hated Frieza, he feared him too. He kept on transforming, upgrading his strengths from destroying 10 men and women in one go to 1000. It was so scary it was hardly believable that not only was he so strong but his smart mind…it was so unbalance it was alarming. Vegeta liked a good fight, even sometimes a good kill but the way Frieza was sometimes made him think that his crazy mind did hide his brilliance. Because of that it sometimes scared him that he could have turn out that way if they'd stayed under his rule.

Vegeta knew he was smart, smarter than all rulers in the previous past put together, very cunning when need be and he always picked up on things really quick. If it hadn't been for that fact his father would never had believed him when he played idiot lost puppy around Frieza to collect information. That was how he found out about Earth.

Frieza was going to 'harvest' that Planet if the occupants did not wish to join him and share their technology, technology that was either just as advance as his or even greater. But the occupants happen to have basically no ki power whatsoever. Easy kill if you send in the top elite saiyans.

Vegeta, Kakarotto and other well trusted saiyans were sent to Earth by Frieza personally to deal with the matter. Dealing with it quite well…against him. Vegeta smirked at that little memory, how his brilliant work for him so well he just wished he had seen the look on Frieza'a face when he realised he had been betrayed. It was a pity that other saiyans didn't quite have a brain like his, but then again there would be too many back stabbing if there had been. Most saiyans were honourable but there were a few who weren't. He made a quick note to deal with that when he got home.

He sighed, he did miss his home even when there were too many stuttering servants it was still his home. He suddenly stopped walking when he heard her voice talking.

Oh great, where is that damn blue hair scientist?

He focused his hearing to where she was and frowned. Prince Yamcha was awake talking to her in his hospital room. He would have wanted to say that they were having a nice simple discussion but they seemed to be arguing over about…the amazon.

"…I just want to know something" Bulma said.

"What?" Yamcha asked.

"Why say those things Yamcha when you already know the good the Amazons do?" Bulma asked.

"It's complicated" Yamcha said.

"Do you even care that a saiyan is risking his butt to keep your's safe?" Bulma asked.

"I am grateful for that saiyan to do so but Bulma, I don't think the Amazons even care about the life we lead" Yamcha said.

"They do, they helped in the war against Frieza" Bulma said.

"You told Chichi that a great enemy was out there and needed to be stopped. She didn't even know who Frieza was" Yamcha said.

"But she still helped" Bulma said.

"Why didn't you tell the Princess about him?" Yamcha asked.

"I didn't want her to join the fight directly" Bulma said "I heard what Frieza could do so I kept my mouth shut. I was afraid she would be killed. But why did you say those awful things about them Yamcha?"

"In a way I am right about them but to be honest Bulma I don't think I could say anything that would make you more angry with me." Yamcha sighed.

"Why is that so complicated?" Bulma asked.

"Because it deals with something before we got engaged" Yamcha said.

"I won't be angry with you" Bulma said.

"I can't trust you on that" Yamcha said.

"I guess I should be leaving you then" Bulma said with a huff.

I knew there was something more to that problem Vegeta thought smugly.

Then there was a bang of door, signalling Bulma had left the room and, with those footsteps, was coming his way. He saw her turn the corner with an angry scrawl to a surprise look in a matter of seconds. Well that would happen if you practically bumped into him.

"What are you doing there?" Bulma asked, shocked.

"Looking at you" Vegeta said bluntly.

He could see her flicking to one side of his head to other. He frowned, that was getting really annoying now.

"What are you looking at?" Vegeta asked.

"Your giant ears" Bulma said.

A vein on Vegeta's head began to pulse rapidly in anger, that woman was really taking the cake now. First she insulted his personality now she was insulting his ears.

"Lady Bulma, you maybe the leading scientist of this planet but that will never keep

you safe if you insult me" Vegeta said "Or do you like playing with death?"

"I don't get give people my respect if they haven't earned it" Bulma said.

"Like I want it" Vegeta growled sarcastically.

"That's why you don't get it" Bulma said dully.

You can't kill her, that'll lead to an all out war

"Everyone should respect the Saiyan Prince" Vegeta said.

"And you wonder why I called you arrogant" Bulma said.

"If I was arrogant I wouldn't be standing here" Vegeta half lied.

Yes he was arrogant but not enough to cloud his judgement at what was needed to be done. Yes it was a trait in every saiyan (except Kakarot which he really couldn't understand that man) that helped to make a saiyan feel stronger. Vegeta, however, had saw past this realised they would need help to kill Frieza, even if his pride REALLY hated that.

"Don't care what you say to me, Prince Vegeta. I always have a keen sense on who to trust and who not" Bulma said.

"So you don't trust me, is that it" Vegeta said.

"I didn't say that" Bulma said and walked passed him, leaving him with odd thoughts about her.

Chichi blasted across the ocean, creating torrents of waves with her feet as she ran. She was trying her best not to think about Kakarot but was hard not to. He was different to all the males she had ever encountered in her life. He was definitely different from the books and scrolls about the Saiyans in the Palace library. They were suppose to be a race of almost barbaric fighters but he wasn't, he was the opposite. The way he looked at her let her know he was pure hearted but his eyes she knew he really like her. It scared and thrilled her at the same time which confused her, the Amazon in her was disgusted with how she felt. The Amazon in her wanted men to grovel and be fearful of her, but she didn't. She feel herself change just by the time she had spent with him. Maybe Shashu was right, maybe she was distracted by the fact her body wanted him. Shaking her head at the thought, she then jumped up at her destination and landed on a rock before bouncing onto another and another till she was in Baba's cave.

"Hey Baba, are you home?" Chichi called.

"You know I am Chichi, I saw you coming Chichi" Baba said smoothly as she appeared on her giant floating crystal ball.

"Damn and here I was hoping to catch you off early" Chichi chirped.

Baba rolled her eyes at the Amazon.

"Sometimes I wonder about you girl" Baba grumped.

"Awe, so kind of you to be thinking about little me" Chichi said. "So, did you find anyone that could be helpful for me?"

"Yes and you are not going to like it" Baba said.

"It isn't your brother is it?" Chichi asked with a cringe, feeling the bile rising because of that pervert.

"No, but if you don't like him that much I guess it won't be so bad" Baba said.

"So who could teach me" Chichi asked.

"Two people can teach you new techniques, one of them being the Great King Kai and the other shall be me" Baba said.

Chichi frowned at the witch with puzzlement.

"Why would you want to teach me?" Chichi asked.

"Because dear, you hold so much power locked away" Baba said "I wish to see it personally tapped and mastered properly. And if you go to King Kai, it means you have to die"

"Hmm, be trained by a witch or die to be trained" Chichi said, options into her hands and started weigh them "Live or die. Live or die. Live or die. I think I'll take the living option"

"Excellent" Baba said happily with pride and clicked her fingers for ten different kind of demon warriors appeared.

"Err Baba?" Chichi said, eyeing the demons.

"I have to see how fast you can put these warriors the floor, without killing any of them of course" Baba said.

Chichi eyed each one of them with a raised eyebrow.

"C'mon girlie, try us" a demon sniggered.

"You're first" Chichi said.

None of them had the time to react, she rendered that demon unconscious with a sharp jab to the head. She looked at the rest of the demons with a smirk.

10 seconds later…

Chichi was wiping the dust off her cloths with all the demons around her on the floor in a small circle. She began to walk to Baba, carefully not stepping on any of them since she could trip.

"Impressive" Baba said.

Chichi looked smugly at Baba.

"If this is the training Baba, I think you're being too easy" Chichi said.

Baba smiled at the Amazon. Chichi dropped the smugness slowly, feeling like she shouldn't have said that.

"You begin your training with theses" Baba said and clicked her fingers.

Chichi suddenly felt her entire body become heavy. She looked down and saw she had weird forearm bracelets on that was in brown leather and had different stones and oriental writing all over it.

"What are these?" Chichi asked quietly.

"These, my dear, will help you become stronger and faster than ever before. You body will soon adjust; when it does I will increase it again. If you are having any trouble with your body tell me either wise you will put yourself at risk. After each training session you will be fighting fighters to test these old and new techniques to you. You will then meditate and then sleep. I shall cook your meals if you complete every task I give you. Do you understand?" Baba said.

"Unfortunately yes" Chichi said, raising her ki levels to adjust to the arm bracelets power but she still felt heavy. She begin move about, jogging, jumping, jiggling then stretching trying to get use to it "When you say old techniques…"

"Yes, I shall be teaching you old techniques. Just because it has been forgotten doesn't mean it isn't powerful" Baba said.

"Okay then" Chichi said finally looking at Baba.

"Are you having problems?" Baba asked

"No" Chichi grunted at last feeling a bit better.

"Then start dodging" Baba said, she clicked her fingers and bits of rocks glowed and began to shoot towards her at an incredible speed.

"Crap" Chichi said and dived out of the way.

Kakarotto and Krillin landed upon a platform really high up in the sky. It was huge! There were gardens, fountains and a sort of palace that made the whole place look like the Taj Mahal in India. Despite Kakarot's lack of knowledge of the Indian Palace he knew this was a spiritual place to be in.

"Wow, this is neat. So where are we?" Kakarot chirped.

"This place is the Lookout Point where the rest of the gang and I come here when there's trouble on Earth." Krillin said. "Here you can be taught the best fighting techniques around."

"Why would you show me this place? I am a saiyan, not native to this planet" Kakarot asked, even though he loved to know new techniques he felt he was stealing from this planet.

"Well, to be honest we want you to be as strong as possible and here you can reach it" Krillin said.

"So this is Kakarot" a smooth but gentle voice said.

Kakarot turned to his left to see an old Namek looking at him, he was leaning on a staff like he depended on it but Kakarot knew better. Beside him was a dark skin man with giant red lips in a Indian style of garments watching him passively.

"Hmm, taller than I expected" the old namek said.

Quite suddenly at faster than the speed of light the namek whipped his staff up to hit Kakarot in the head but was blocked by the surprised saiyan.

"Fast too." The namek said bringing the staff back to his side "He'll prove to be a challenge to her."

"That's good, but can he win?" Krillin asked.

"Depends on what Baba teaches her" the namek said.

"Baba?" Krillin and Kakarot said together, one on the huh? And the other questioning on the who?

"Baba, a 500 year old hag or witch she prefers to be called. A powerful one when she wants too be that is. She has the power to see the future, sometimes makes money out of it, and friends with the Amazons. She sometimes help us out when there are problems around here" the nemak said to Kakarot before turning to Krillin "Chichi also wished to be taught different techniques, I think she knows that Kakarot won't be easy to be taken down."

"Must be from your little spar" Krillin said, turning to Kakarot.

"I wanted to see how good she was" Kakarot said.

"Or maybe from something else" the old namek said with a smile, looking at Kakarot "I am Kami by the way"

"Oh hi!" Kakarot said.

"And this is Mr Popo" Kami said, gesturing to the figure beside him.

"And hi to you too" Kakarot said good naturedly.

Mr Popo bowed quietly with a smile in return.

"He takes care of the Lookout Point while I watch over" Kami said.

"Sounds good. Why is Baba threatening if she's your friend? Wouldn't she try to help you win" Kakarot asked.

"She is also the friend of the Amazons." Kami said "She'll want to see Chichi fight well and, like you, Chichi has a lot of unlocked power inside of her. Baba is a witch, she would want to see this power unleashed."

"That makes sense" Kakarot said "But wouldn't that cause the Earth a problem if Chichi wins?"

"Yes, that's why you're here" Kami said, "Baba knew Chichi would seek her out to be trained."

"So she told us" Krillin said.

"To even the battlefield" Kakarot said.

"Exactly" Kami said.

"Well, lets not disappoint" Kakarot smiled "When can I begin?"

Phew! That would have to be my longest chapter yet so far! 10 pages and 3,587 words.

Jadedrache: I'm glad you loved it, you review kinda made me laugh but I guess I don't need anymore reassurance. Just tell me what you think now. ;)

Darkangel000: Bit short since I've been very busy over July and into August. Thanks, it would be better if Chichi did know those feelings but because of her background she wouldn't know much about 'courtship attraction' or that kind of 'love' that comes with it but she's getting there. So one of the reasons why she left. I hope you liked the chapter and there shall be more coming up soon if I have the time.

Yari: Yep, poor Goku but don't worry, where's there a will there's a way for that guy! And thanks, it was a good day too just wasn't enough cake.

Please leave me reviews! The more reviews there are the more willing I am to write. Tit for tat as they say so give me feedback.
