Chapter Eight:

Xander groaned as he opened his eyes staring up at the black eyes looking back at him. "Have you ever heard of over sleeping?"

"Come on kid we have training before you go to school." Raditz pushed Xander from the bed causing him to fall on the floor. "Now put on your training clothes and come down. Faith and her Watcher should be here soon. You don't want to be late."

"I'm coming." Xander got up from the floor and went to his closet to pull out his blue gi putting it on and going down stairs to the dojo.

Raditz was already talking to Faith and Wesley whom just arrived. Faith spotted him and smiled her Watcher only gave a small wave. "Hey, Xan."

"Hi, Faith." Xander gave her a sleepy smile he still wasn't completely awake.

"So you finally got you're lazy ass out of bed." Raditz smirked at the boy taking in his messy hair and red brim eyes. "You can help me teach these two the basics. Think you can handle that sleepy head?"

Xander nodded and went to help his teacher telling himself the whole time that he was going to take a nap in history class today.

Two Hours Later

Faith and Wesley left promising to be back the following morning. Faith did great and was a fast learner listening to everything he or Raditz would tell her. It was Wesley that surprised them both the Watcher wasn't as weak as he appeared. Xander pushed the thoughts out of his head and went up the stairs to take a shower and get ready for school while Raditz cooked breakfast. He was somewhat nervous about seeing Buffy and Willow in class. Xander knew Buffy was angry, but he didn't know about Willow. He would find out once he reached the high school. He sighed and went into the kitchen watching as Raditz placed a large amount of pancakes on the table. It was a large dinning room table and the whole thing was filled with food. Sausage, eggs, bacon, biscuits, ham, gravy, and other of his favorite foods. Xander did eat a lot, but nothing compared to Raditz. That Saiyan really could starve China and then some.

"Sit down and eat kid." Raditz was already making his plate. Unlike his brother he had manners and used them. Couldn't let people think he was raised in the wild like Kakarot. Raditz ate fast and cleanly not making a mess.

"Yeah, I have to leave for school soon." Xander placed some pancakes in his plate and began to eat.

"Need a ride to school?" Raditz asked after breakfast cleaning off the table placing them in the sink to wash later. "I have to go into town anyway."

"Sure I could use a ride." Xander picked up his backpack and went out to the parking lot and Raditz's large Dodge Ram. There was no way Raditz would fit in a car.

"Don't let the Slayer get to you kid." Raditz said stopping the truck in front of the high school. He leaned over the seat to face Xander. "She jealous."

"I'll be okay big guy." Xander gave Raditz a small smile. "If she gives me trouble I'll let you kick her butt."

"Promise?" Raditz smirked, his eyes laughing.

Xander laughed. "You bet."

"You better get going before you're late." Raditz kicked Xander out of the truck and drove away.

Xander took a deep breath and walked into the school knowing it was not going to be a good day. And boy was he right the moment he laid eyes on Buffy and Willow in the hall and how both of them glared at him.

Xander exited the school glad he survived the day alive and well. He saw Raditz leaning against his truck waiting for him.

"Bad day?" Raditz could see sadness in his student's eyes. "The Slayer and Witch gave you trouble?"

"Yeah, they're still not happy with me." They didn't speak to him at all even when they went to the library.

Raditz knew this was going to happen and ruffled Xander's hair hoping to cheer him up. "How about we leave this dimension for a little while?"

"Leave here?" Xander was confused. "And go where?"

"Remembered what I told you about where I was from?" Raditz asked running a hand through his long black hair.

"Yes," Xander always wanted to meet Raditz's family and see this other dimension to know how different it really was.

"I think it's time for me to face my past." Raditz sighed, knowing it was pass time. "Everything will be fine while we are gone. Should something happens the Powers will send someone for us."

"You really want to do this?" Xander was honored that Raditz wanted to take him with him to see his family.

"Yeah, so do you want to go?" Raditz wanted to leave soon. And Xander would learn more in his home dimension.

Xander smiled widely. "When do we leave?"
