Misson completed; Vegeta and Hiei's date was set, and everyone was happy. Well, everyone except the ones going on it. They were pissed. How dare someone set them up on a date?
After Vegeta had finally given his consent, he didn't even bother to finish eating, and stormed back out to the gravity pod, to work off his anger. And you know if a Saiyan is going to leave a meal, he must be mad. Furious, more like it. "Damn woman... Blackmailing the Prince of all Saiyans!"
It had taken alittle while, but Hiei had gotten over the shock of his date being a male, and was now as mad as Vegeta. Yusuke had to restrain the demon numerous times from using his katana, and even his Dragon of the Darkness Flame, against him and Kuwabara. Hiei had given up on killing them when Yusuke reminded him that Koenma wouldn't be too happy if his spirit detective got killed. And he knew that Koenma was someone who really could increase his probation time. Damn it all...
"Just relax, shrimp, it won't be that bad!" Kuwabara laughed"Who knows, you might actually like him! Awwww, shrimp's gonna have a boyfriend!"
"That's it." Hiei put his hand on his katana sheath, preparing to pull it out. "I may not be able to kill the detective, but Spirit World sure as hell doesn't need you!" The demon charged at the teen, but one again, was stopped by Yusuke.
The night continued, full of hate-filled training, and murder attempts. The usual things to expect from the spikey haired duo. Much to their annoyance morning had arrived quickly. Too quickly.
"Are you really going to wear that?" Bulma asked, looking at the Saiyan, who was dressed in his usual spandex training suit, complete with armor, boots and gloves.
"Of course I am." Vegeta answered simply, pulling at his left glove. There was no reason he could see to wear anything else. Why? To impress this 'Hiei'?
"But don't you want to look good for him?" Bulma quickly decided to change her wording, after recieving one hell of a glare. If looks could kill... "Uh, I mean, don't you atleast want to look normal? You know, not like an alien from outer space, even if you are one!"
Vegeta sharpened his glare. If looks could kill alright... "Hmph, it's bad enough I'm going on this damned date! I am not changing my clothing too! Besides, I won't have to change when I get back from it." The Saiyan looked over at the wall clock, and scowled. It read 11:30. Great... only half an hour until the date. "I guess I should leave..."
"Have fun, Vegeta!" Bulma said, trying to hold back her laughter.
"Are you really going to bring that?" Yusuke wondered, pointing to Hiei's katana. Honestly, couldn't the demon go anywhere without it? It's not like he was going to be killing anything... Well, you never know what him and Vegeta would pick as a date activity.
"Of course I am. I wouldn't go anywhere in this pathetic ningen realm without it... Not that I need it. Besides, it might be useful if my so-called 'date' pisses me off." Hiei explained, hoping that he would get a chance to use it. He was confident this 'Vegeta' was going to piss him off. Hey, he should get to have some fun on this date, right?
"Just don't start gettin' all sword happy on your date, got it?" Yusuke smirked, emphasizing the word 'date'.
"Hn, since when do I listen to you?" Hiei asked, looking at the clock. Damn, 11:35 already. Not bothering to get an answer from the detective, the demon turned to the window, and gracefully hopped out. Destination: Hell. Well, actually West City Park. Same difference, atleast to him.
Vegeta flew over the city known as West City. He had been dragged there by the woman a few times in the past, so he knew his general way around. He internally cringed as the park came into sight. He did not want to do this. Not at all. Oh well, he needed to surpass Kakarot, and this date seemed like a small price to surprass his rival. The Saiyan flew down and landed under a tree in the most remote area of the park. "Like I care if he doesn't find me."
Hiei hopped from tree to tree as he finally reached the park. He had no clue how he would find this guy in such a large park. Atleast the detective had shown him a picture, so he knew what to look for. Big muscles, spikey hair, and a scowl. And bingo, he just found his person. The demon jumped down, and landed beside where Vegeta was now sitting.
Vegeta looked up at what had just landed beside him, and smirked. "You're Hiei? You look more like a troll to me."
Hiei glared. This guy had no room to talk! He looked like body-builder reject. "Watch it, ningen, I have no problem with slitting your throat."
"Ningen? Who do you think you're talking to? I'm a Saiyan, something far superior to you. Remember that."
"Hn. Watch it, Simion, I have no problem slitting your throat. Is that better?" Hiei asked, trying not to smirk. Even though he wouldn't admit it, he wasn't... not hating this so far. He got to mock the 'Simion', and with the way things were going, he was going to get a fight too.
"It's Saiyan, troll!" Vegeta almost growled. He knew Hiei was pushing him on purpose, and he didn't like it.
The demon crossed his arms over his chest, still holding back a smirk. "It doesn't matter what you are. You're still the same pathetic weakling."
Now, Vegeta could accept being called most things... Actually he couldn't, but anyway, being called a weakling in something the Saiyan would not stand for! No... He would show that troll the true power he is mocking. Wordlessly, Vegeta got to his feet, and got into fighting stance. "Hmph, if I am a weakling, then you should have no problem beating me."
Hiei smirked. Now this is more like it. The demon also got into his fighting stance, and was just about to charge at his date, but he stopped himself. The detective warned him not to get 'sword happy' during this date. Did that he would get his probation time increased if he did fight? It was too risky to find out. Hiei dropped his guard and crossed his arms again. Damn, there goes his fun...
"What's the matter? Finally realize what you're up against, and decide to back out?" Vegeta asked, mockingly. By this point, the Saiyan was smirking almost to the point of a smile, feeling his ego inflate.
"Spare me." Hiei glared, resisting the urge to wipe the smile/smirk off Vegeta's face. "You are of no threat to me. I could kill you with ease. But if I did that, the detective would tell the onna, and I would be stuck in the ningen realm with idiots like you even longer."
"If you could 'kill me with ease', then how come you're afraid of what some detective and woman could do to you" the Saiyan chuckled softly "You must be even weaker than I thought. Maybe you were right to stop the fight... Before you got yourself killed."
Hiei growled to himself. He could swear Vegeta was enjoying this, mocking him. Oh, how he longed to just attack him. Damn detective... First stopping him from killing that baka Kuwabara, and now indirectly stopping him from killing his date. He looked Vegeta, who was still laughing. Hold on, that Simion doesn't seem like he wants to be here either, so he must've been forced too... "What about you? I bet you got blackmailed into coming here, by some ningen no less." Hiei smirked, finally turning the table in his favor. "Unless, you actually wanted to go on a date with me. And if that's the case..."
Vegeta stopped laughing. Dammit, how did the troll get in control of this? He tried to think of an answer the Hiei's question, one that would bring this argument back in his favor, but couldn't. If he said that he really was blackmailed, the troll would no doubt mock him about that, and there was no way in hell he would ever say he wanted to go on this date. So, not having anything to retort, Vegeta kept his mouth shut, and sat back down.
"That's what I thought." Hiei said, sitting down as well, against the trunk of the tree.
For the next little while neither of them said anything. Neither of them wanted to be here. Neither of them liked the other. Neither of them even wanted the other to be alive. So, they did the only the could do without actually fighting. They glared.
To Be Continued...
A/N: Well, here's chapter 3, and the first meeting of Vegeta and Hiei. I hope it was okay, I had no idea what to make happen, and this just came out. Anyway, I'll try to update soon. o
