A week had passed, and the whole time, when Kaiya wasn't in class and Vegeta wasn't in training, the two of them got together to get to know each other and train together. Vegeta had a different fighting style than Kaiya was used to. She was starting to realize why she wasn't as strong a fighter as she wanted to be. She was always on the defensive. Vegeta was always on the offensive, but she could tell he still went easy on her.
"Why do you always defend?" Vegeta asked her one day when they were taking a break.
"What do you mean?" Kaiya asked with a tilt of her head.
"You never come after me full force," he told her.
"I could say the same with you for me," Kaiya retorted. Then she sighed and looked away with him. "Did you ever have so much power, that you didn't know if you'd be able to control it all if you went all out." Vegeta just looked to the girl, but said nothing as she continued. "I've destroyed things, accidentally mind you, before I got control of certain abilities, and even now…I still can't control them all. Even with all the training and meditation, I'm still a danger to me and everyone around me." She looked back over to Vegeta, her expression seemed pensive. "I don't fight offensively because I can do enough damage just by defending myself. That's enough."
Vegeta had never thought that way before in his life. When your entire world was kill or be killed, holding back was not an option. Kaiya's world was not that much different from his, and since there worlds weren't that different it only meant one thing.
Kaiya was in danger.
Vegeta hated thinking the worst regarding the girl, but it was the truth. Her fear to fight would be a hindrance in her training. It was something he would have to shake her from. First, though, he would need to talk with those who have trained her before. The only two people he knew were her boyfriend, Hiei, and a woman named Genkai. If he met the woman, he'd most likely have to meet many more people, and part of him did not want to do that.
But what was he willing to put up with so that his sister could be safe? He wouldn't always be around, especially when he had always been planning on leaving Earth at some point. Even if that idea was starting to change, he knew he would still need to travel into space at some point in his life. He couldn't exactly take her away from her life on Earth, and he wouldn't even consider it with her training. No, he would need to make sure she could protect herself in the future. He needed to talk to her trainers. They only question was how to get in touch with them.
"Hey Vegeta?" Vegeta turned his head slightly to acknowledge his sister. "My friends are having a party at our mentor, Genkai's, tonight." She picked up her tail and started twirling it in her fingers, a nervous habit the girl seemed to pick up. "I was wondering, I mean if you weren't too busy, would you like to come?"
Vegeta thought about it for a moment, not fully understanding what a "party" was. He had been to banquets aboard Frieza's ship, and yet he had heard Bulma refer to the same type of event as a party once or twice, but Kaiya couldn't have been talking about a formal get together. At least, he didn't think she was.
At his silence, Kaiya began to get nervous again and looked away. "I mean, you don't have to come if you don't want to. It just would be nice to introduce you to my friends."
"I'll go," Vegeta responded, not wanting the girl to feel bad about asking.
She looked over to him questioningly. "You will?" He could see the hope in her eyes, and he did not want to crush it.
"Of course," Vegeta replied while looking into the water of the pond in the woman's backyard. Before he knew it, he was knocked down by Kaiya. He had no idea why she just decided to randomly attack him like that, but after he fell over, he realized she was just giving him a hug. Her eyes were closed and she had a smile on her face.
"Thank you, Geta," she whispered as Vegeta placed one hand on her back to steady her. Yes, things were stranger now that he had a sister to look after.
Bulma watched the scene from the kitchen, smiling at the fact that Vegeta was finally loosening up and showing someone that he cared about them. It was strange seeing the once murderous Saiyan prince acting so gentle. Actually, it was even stranger that he wasn't as aggressive towards her too. Ever since she had drugged him and helped unlock his memories, he was strangely kind towards her, or as close to kind as Vegeta would get. He still demanded training equipment and food, leaving no room for argument, but he wouldn't fight her in anything but sport now. It was almost as if he was thankful to her, but she wouldn't point that out.
Kaiya seemed very nice to Bulma. It was hard to believe that there was another Saiyan like Goku with a genuine mirth and naivety despite the crazy things she had seen. The only difference from Goku was that she seemed to have a fear or many things, irrational things, and was not as inclined to fight unless need be. Bulma was surprised that Vegeta was so patient with her.
There was something about this whole thing, though, that bothered Bulma. She had remembered Vegeta constantly saying that he was here for two purposes: to train and to eventually kill Goku before returning to space. With Kaiya being here, was that still his plan? Bulma had spoken with Kaiya a handful of times, and Kaiya really wanted to meet Goku. Not only that, but the girl, despite accepting that her brother had killed for a career, was against killing period. Could Vegeta, knowing this, still go through with his plans, and if he did, how would his sister react to that?
Bulma didn't notice that another entered her home. She heard someone clear their throat and nearly jumped out of her skin. She turned around to see Hiei standing there with his arms crossed. She nearly laughed at how similar the demon's expression was to Vegeta's on a good day. "Oh, hello Hiei," Bulma greeted. "Good to see you again."
"Hn," Hiei responded. "I'm here to pick up Kaiya. We have somewhere to be."
"Um, okay," Bulma replied. "They're outside right now." She pointed out the window. Hiei narrowed his eyes at her. "What's wrong?"
"Do you make it a habit of watching others without their knowledge?" Hiei asked her, his glare not leaving his face.
Bulma was about to snap at the boy, but then she realized his fists were clenched, and looking past the glare, she could see worry. The fire demon seemed to be incredibly protective of his girlfriend.
Bulma smiled and decided to answer him. "It's just nice watching how he interacts with her," she explained. "I don't have any siblings, and the two of them had no idea about each other. The bond they have…it's like nothing I've ever seen."
"If I were you, I would not let them know you have been watching," Hiei offered. "Kaiya would not care. Vegeta, on the other hand, would not be happy being spied on."
Hiei didn't give her a chance to answer before he starting walking out into the yard. Both Kaiya and Vegeta heard his footsteps on turned to face him. Kaiya smiled, having sensed it was him, but Vegeta looked more guarded. Hiei noticed so he steered clear of him and went over to Kaiya, offering her his hand.
"We need to start heading to Genkai's," he said softly. "You ready to go?"
"Uh huh," Kaiya said like an excited child, accepting his outstretched hand. "And guess what. Vegeta said he'd come with us. Isn't that great?"
Hiei looked over to Vegeta who was glaring daggers at him. Hiei just forced a smirk for Kaiya's sake and said, "Yes. Everyone will be happy to officially meet him."
"Why are you talking about me as if I weren't here?" Vegeta scoffed. "You need to learn to respect the Prince of All Saiyans."
Hiei just looked at Vegeta blankly. "I wasn't ignoring you," Hiei told him. "I was just having a conversation with your sister. She's been talking about inviting you all week."
Vegeta just looked shocked as he looked at his sister who was beaming at him. He inwardly cringed, not being used to being adored by anyone. Even with his memories of Kaiya as a child, she had this light in her eyes that couldn't be extinguished when she looked at him. She knew his past, his crimes, and the horrors he wrought on the universe. Vegeta expected rejection, but was met with acceptance. Even when she accepted him, he expected her to be wary of him, but she requested to spend time with him, talking or training. She saw the way he trained, and he expected her to fear him, but she just tried harder to keep up with him. He had never had someone attempt to get to know him despite his transgressions, and allow themselves to care for him wholeheartedly. And now she wanted him to meet her friends and include him in her life even more, to be a part of it. It was strange to him because he had never had that treatment before, and he wasn't sure he wanted it.
He was about to take back his acceptance of her invitation when she grabbed his hand and pulled him to his feet. "Come on," Kaiya chimed. "Let's go! It's a pretty long drive, and I do NOT like being in the car for long."
Vegeta sweat-dropped, also not liking small, confined spaces from what Frieza had done to him. Shaking himself out of his thoughts, he reluctantly followed Kaiya and Hiei to her car. He saw that it was some small SUV as the woman would have called it. It was more enclosed that he would have hoped.
"Hiei, you don't mind sitting in the back, right?" Kaiya asked, knowing her brother had an issue with claustrophobia like her.
Hiei shrugged. "I don't mind. Just as long as you don't play the dolphin noises again."
"Deal," Kaiya said with a smirk, "but then that means it's a Bon Jovi car ride."
"Oh God," Hiei muttered under his breath, though he had a smile on his face. Vegeta caught it, but didn't understand what either of them was talking about.
Hiei got into the back of the car and lounged like he normally did in trees and windowsills. Vegeta just rolled his eyes at the boy. He didn't know how he felt about his sister's boyfriend. He didn't really know anything about him. In his mind, he was just some guy unworthy of his sister's affections, but he would never know until he swallowed his pride and speak to him about anything. First and foremost, he needed to understand Kaiya's training. Then he could train her more effectively and appropriately.
"Vegeta?" he heard Kaiya call him from the driver's seat. She had put the windows of the car down and was staring at him with worry in her green eyes. "You okay?"
Vegeta mentally groaned, not used to this kind of attention. "I'm fine. You need to stop asking me that, kid."
Kaiya froze and narrowed her eyes at Vegeta. "What did you call me?" she asked in irritation.
Vegeta smirked at the girl. He hadn't really ever seen her irritated, and he was actually quite amused by her reaction. "You heard me, kid."
Hiei opened one of his eyes and closed it again. "You might not want to piss a fire demon off before she drives. She's had problems with road rage and lighting cars on fire."
Kaiya's angered expression immediately turned to one of embarrassment. "That was ONE time, and it was before I learned to control my abilities…so not fair."
Hiei just chuckled and Vegeta glared at him. He thought it was disrespectful for Hiei to say anything about Kaiya. But his reaction changed when Kaiya said, "That's okay. I'll just start out with your least favorite Bon Jovi song."
Hiei's eyes shot open and he sat up just as quickly. "You wouldn't," he growled.
"Living on a Prayer, coming up," Kaiya said fooling around with her iPod.
Hiei groaned and fell back onto the seat. "Just kill me now."
Vegeta quirked his brow as he got into the vehicle, looking around it curiously. Then out of nowhere, music started blasting. Vegeta cringed at the volume and noticed Hiei through the mirror doing the same thing. But when Kaiya started singing along to the music with a smile on her face, Hiei's face softened and he seemed to focus just on her voice. Vegeta looked between the two, utterly confused by the effect they seemed to have on one another. It made no sense to him at all, but that was probably because he had never had any type of relationship in the past. Vegeta looked back to Kaiya once he decided to drop his wonderings on her relationship, for now, and realized that he too enjoyed seeing her so free. Then something else hit him.
"Why are the windows opened?" he asked her. Every time he had been in an Earthling vehicle or building, windows were always closed. Sometimes it made him feel trapped.
"I like how the wind feels," Kaiya told him. "Also, when they're closed I feel kind of trapped. I don't like feeling trapped."
Vegeta definitely remembered that. He would never forget her panicked expression from when she realized she was in the regeneration tank. That look of fear would always haunt him.
"Right," he muttered before looking out the window, studying the various streets and buildings before they left the city and headed towards the wilderness.
"Hey, what the heck took you guys so long?" a black-haired teen Kaiya introduced as Yusuke said as a greeting. Vegeta just narrowed his eyes at the boy. Yusuke seemed to be oblivious to his silent threat. "Kaiya, I haven't seen you since the mind scanning night thing. How've you been?"
Kaiya just laughed and rolled her eyes. "Yusuke, you're an idiot," she teased.
"Hey, I resent that," he retorted feigning hurt. Kaiya just laughed at his antics, and Vegeta was in shock by how laid back the girl seemed with her friends. "And hey, what happened to miss stick-up-her-"
"Yusuke!" another girl yelled. "Don't talk to her that way!"
Yusuke rolled his eyes. "Oh come on, Keiko. You know she's as bad as you when it comes to school work, if not worse."
"Get over it," Kaiya mumbled wryly before seeing two others. "Lexi, Maya, I didn't know you two were coming."
"Why wouldn't we be, sis?" Mayonaka asked. Vegeta was shocked. Kaiya had a twin sister, though Vegeta knew he had no relation to her. It made Vegeta wonder why Kaiya was targeted and not her sister. Nothing made sense about the situation anyway, so he shouldn't even be surprised by another unexplained coincidence..
"Hey, Kuronue told me what happened," Alexia said walking up to Kaiya. "I'm really, really sorry about Jiro and what he did, and then what you had to go through…just wow, Kaiya. Now I understand why you seemed to develop a ton of fears after your disappearance, and why you couldn't remember any of it."
"Who knew there were so many freaks out there?" Mayonaka continued. "And our father just had to be one of them."
"Please, Maya…let's not even talk about it," Kaiya pleaded. "It's supposed to be a party. We are supposed to be relaxing and celebrating. Vegeta." She looked over to her brother with big eyes, yet again, and he found himself obliging to her silent request. He walked over to her, keeping a blank expression as he walked up to the two girls. "Guys, this is Vegeta. He's my brother."
"Yeah, Kuronue mentioned that too," Alexia stated. Mayonaka and Kaiya both smirked at her. "What?"
"For a spy that hates thieves and had issues with Kuronue, you seem to spend a lot of time with him," Mayonaka lightly teased.
Alexia blushed and smacked both Kaiya's and Mayonaka's shoulders. Vegeta didn't like his sister being struck, but when the girl just laughed along with her twin, he didn't see Alexia as a threat.
"Hiei!" Everyone went silent when they heard Kuwabara call the fire demon's name.
"Ugh, what does he want, now?" Hiei muttered.
"He's probably about to threaten you into tell Yukina the truth again," Alexia stated.
Hiei's eyes widened and he glared over at the girl. "How the hell do you know about that?" he asked.
"It's a very long story, Hiei," Alexia explained. "I wasn't told by anyone exactly. I kind of just overheard Kurama and Kuronue discussing it."
"Where are they, by the way?" Kaiya asked, looking around.
"Tending Genkai's garden," Mayonaka replied. "She asked Kurama to, and Kuronue volunteered to help him out."
"Makes sense," Kaiya replied before Yusuke pulled her away to play a video game.
"What are they doing?" Vegeta asked Hiei, not understanding why the girl was playing with some type of strange controller.
"It's a game," Hiei answered. "It's a fighting game. Humans use it as a form of entertainment."
"You suck at this game, Kaiya," Yusuke taunted playfully. Vegeta looked over and glared at the boy who was still oblivious to it, or at least didn't react. He shouldn't talk to the Princess of Saiyans like that especially when it came to fighting. Growling under his breath, Kaiya spoke up.
"Oh shut up, Yusuke," Kaiya laughed. "You know I get no practice during the semester. If I would be able to play more, I'd beat you."
"Oh really?" Yusuke countered. "Because I think Kuwabara is a better challenge than you are."
Kaiya paused the game and blinked over at Yusuke. Vegeta was waiting to see her destroy the disrespectful boy, though part of him knew she would never do that.
"Them's fightin' words," Alexia said in a joking manner.
"Yes, I did hear a challenge in there," Kaiya agreed. "Yusuke, are you challenging me?"
"You bet your ass I am," the spirit detective replied, still causing Vegeta's blood to boil.
"Okay, new fight," Kaiya said. "I'm using a different character."
"Alright," Yusuke said. "Best two out of three."
The two went back to playing the game, and, even though Kaiya put up a decent fight, she still lost. "Good game," Yusuke said. "See, even though you're out of practice, you still have some good moves."
Kaiya nodded. "At least if I were to go down, I went down fighting."
Vegeta's eyes widened. This fight, he insults, it was a way to push Kaiya to do better. Maybe that was how they all trained? It didn't seem to be the most effective to him, but it kept this hodgepodge group of fighters motivated to train.
After hearing Kuwabara call for him again, Hiei growled and said, "Let Kaiya know I went to deal with an annoyance." With that, Hiei left the room. At that point another girl entered the room.
"Yukina!" Kaiya exclaimed, drawing Vegeta's attention back to her. He saw his sister hugging some young-looking girl.
"Hello, Kaiya," the girl greeted warmly, though the room did drop a few degrees as she entered. "Are you feeling any better from last week? I was really worried when you zoned out in your class."
"Yes, I'm much better," Kaiya assured her, putting her hands on the girl's shoulders. "I figured out what was wrong with me, but I'll tell everyone when Botan gets here and the boys come back inside." She looked around the room and asked, "Where's Hiei?"
Vegeta just scoffed at the message he was given. "The boy said he had to take care of something. I don't know what."
Yukina looked over to Vegeta and then back to Kaiya. "Who is that?" she asked the girl innocently. It almost made Vegeta's cold heart melt. This girl seemed to act like Kaiya when she was a child, that blatant trust and kindness, that warm voice with innocent undertones despite what she had seen. Vegeta was not one to get lost in memories of joy, but right now he was fighting to keep the smile off his face.
Just then, Hiei and another boy much taller than him came into the room. The redhead's face went from angered to cheerful the instant he laid eyes on the blue-haired girl. "Yukina!" he exclaimed in a dramatic fashion before running over to her and fawning over her with so much attention. The young girl smiled and giggled at the boy's actions, and Vegeta noticed the look of sheer displeasure on Hiei's face. It was the same look that Vegeta had given to the fire demon earlier. Hiei did not deem that boy worthy to be with the girl, but Vegeta had no idea why Hiei should be concerned when he was dating his sister.
He noticed how concerned Kaiya looked and was worried that maybe she too was nervous about Hiei's attention to the girl. She walked over to the fire demon and pulled him out of the room to talk. Vegeta decided to follow, worried about his sister and her supposed boyfriend. He didn't trust him.
"Well, what did you tell Kuwabara?" she asked Hiei with all the concern.
"I told him he's free to 'date' her, or whatever you humans like to say, provided he allows me to tell her in my own time," Hiei growled. He hated giving his permission like that, especially to someone so weak in his eyes. He felt his sister deserved better, but that would be for her to decide.
"Hiei, when are you going to tell Yukina he truth?" Kaiya asked. Vegeta was listening in and was growing increasingly curious by this whole thing.
Hiei sighed. "I don't know, Kaiya. I just don't know," he told her while shaking his head in frustration. "I can't bring myself to tell her. She'll hate me for keeping it from her all this time. I told her I'd find her brother…lied to her face. If I told her that I was her brother now…she'd never forgive me."
Vegeta's eyes widened when he heard the confession. No wonder Hiei was glaring at the redhead like he had been at him earlier. It seemed to Vegeta that he and Hiei had more in common than he thought.
"Okay, first off, I'm serious when I keep telling you that Yukina wouldn't hate you," she chided. "She understands, especially because of how your people treated you. Do you honestly think she'll care about your past? You did what you had to in order to survive. She won't hold it against you."
"Just because you don't hold anything against Vegeta, it doesn't mean Yukina won't hate me forever," he replied, sitting against the wall and sliding down to the ground. Kaiya followed suit and put her hand on his.
"Believe me when I say this," Kaiya started. "Yukina will accept you, no matter what. The bond between a brother and sister is so special. Besides, the girl is incapable of hate. You know this. If anything, I could only imagine her crying tears of joy the moment you tell her."
"I'd rather her not cry at all," Hiei grumbled. "I hate that she was kidnapped for her tears."
"Yes, and you all saved her," Kaiya reminded her. "You've always been there for her, and you've sacrificed so much to keep her safe. I would tell her. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be for you to even consider it."
Hiei sighed again and leaned against Kaiya as some form of strange hug. Kaiya smiled and put her arms around him. Vegeta watched the scene unfold. Maybe he was wrong about Hiei from his earlier behavior. If anything, the boy acted as prideful and arrogant as he did to cover up the hurt or regret he felt from his past. It was similar to how he felt at times. Then he heard Hiei say something that caused him to leave the room.
"But I'm not worthy of her," Hiei whispered. "I'm barely worthy of you."
Vegeta couldn't take it anymore. He and Hiei were too similar and the fire demon was confirming his beliefs about his worth towards his own sister. He couldn't bring himself to hear what his sister would have said to that. He did not want her view on him to change, even if he felt he didn't deserve it.
After a few minutes, Hiei and Kaiya came back into the room, both ignoring and enduring perverted comments from Yusuke about their whereabouts. Kaiya rolled her eyes at the black-haired detective and took a seat next to Mayonaka. Hiei walked up to Yukina and both the ice-maiden and Kuwabara were staring at him in confusion.
"Yukina, I need to talk to you," Hiei stated, leaving no room for argument. Yukina smiled at him and nodded, following him outside.
When they were out of earshot, Kurama and Kuronue came back inside both with confused expressions. They looked to Kaiya who was just smiling brightly. In fact everyone, including Vegeta, looked to her.
"Kaiya…" Kuwabara started cautiously. "What exactly did you say to him?"
Kaiya just looked at him. "Nothing you need to worry about," she assured him. Out of nowhere, they heard a shout of joy and looked outside to see Yukina hugging Hiei after she tackled him to the ground. "Well, it looks like Yukina finally has her brother."
An old woman walked up next to Vegeta. He looked to her and realized that the woman was the old psychic who trained his sister.
"Your sister is an amazing person," Genkai told him. "Especially if she's able to talk some sense into that thickheaded fire demon. You needed to speak with me?"
"How did you-?" Vegeta began to ask before the woman held up her hand to stop him.
"I am not an idiot," she told him. "I've been around a long time, and I can already tell from what I've heard from the others that you are not the type of person to enjoy these kinds of parties. Honestly, the only reason I put up with them is because usually they end up sparring and it's a good way for them to stay on their game in case any new missions come up from them."
"Hn, so they're really spies?" Vegeta asked.
"Not really," Genkai told him. "Only Kaiya and Alexia were trained when they were children. I have no idea how they attained those skills. You want to know what I've taught Kaiya, right?"
Vegeta chuckled. "You're a perceptive human," Vegeta taunted. "But yes, I need to know the lengths of her training so I know where to go from there."
"You wasted a trip," Genkai told him, slightly angering Vegeta. "I can't tell you how to train her to fight. I only taught her how to control her spirit energy. That was all she needed to know at the time. The only one who has taught her to fight is Hiei, and even he will not be able to tell you how they train. What I can tell you is that Kaiya does not enjoy fighting. She feels comfortable fighting with Hiei because they can communicate through their movements. That's how they developed their trust."
"That will do her no good in the sense of true battling," Vegeta scoffed.
"That is true," Genkai said. "She has been put through fights she is not ready for as of late, but, in her defense, she fights well considering that most of those she has fought are her relatives, or have threatened her family. She will not fight back under those circumstances."
"Why?" Vegeta asked the psychic in alarm. "Did her father not try to kill her?"
"According to the dimwit," she said pointing to Yusuke, "she was able to fight well against anyone that wasn't her family. Mayonaka fought her a long time ago, and she fought back, but both ended up in the hospital, still alive obviously. Her father attacked her with a sneak attack. Hiei was the one that took him out after Kaiya's attack didn't kill him. She can fight and defend, but she cannot bring herself to kill, nor fight to the death with anyone. Not alone."
"She will not always have protection," Vegeta stated. "She will need to learn." He looked over to Genkai who was glaring at him. "What, Earthling?" he growled.
"Even though she has graduated past my training, I still care for her wellbeing," Genkai replied in anger. "I have seen others like you, those who killed for a living. Believe me; I slayed demons for a living. You cannot force her to be a killer. If you train her to fight more effectively, you better be damn sure not to push her past her comfort zone. I may be old, but if I hear anything about her training being too aggressive, I WILL be able to kick your sorry ass without even breaking a sweat."
Before Vegeta could shout at the woman for her disrespect, Kaiya walked over to them, and he remained silent. "Hello, Master Genkai," she said with a polite bow. "It's been awhile." Vegeta mentally slapped himself for allowing himself to be silenced. His sister seemed to be some kind of tension breaker.
"Yes, it has," Genkai said with a fond smile. "How has school been?"
"Great!" Kaiya exclaimed. "Just about made straight A's this semester, and I've even been keeping up with my training. Hiei didn't let me slack, and lately I've been training with Vegeta."
Vegeta froze when Kaiya lightly touched his shoulder. The way she talked about him and introduced him to others was so unusual to him. For the moment, the old lady's threat disappeared from his mind.
"So, is Botan coming?" Kaiya asked. "If not, I'd really like to formally introduce Vegeta to everyone."
"No, it seems that Koenma has her running around for something," Genkai explained.
"Oh dear God," Kaiya grimaced. "Don't tell me there's another mission heading our way. I…I still haven't dealt with everything from when we took on all those demon hunters."
"I know, child," Genkai said softly, understanding that Kaiya had definitely gone through more than the others on that mission. "And no, nothing like that that I know of. Just random Spirit World errands."
"Well, okay," Kaiya said with a smile. She turned to Vegeta and tugged on his hand. "Come on, let's go."
Vegeta was reluctant, but he stood up and walked over to her group of friends, Yukina and Hiei already interacting with the rest of the group. "Okay," Kaiya started, "most of you guys already know or know of what happened when I was nine." Yukina looked a little confused, but Hiei just squeezed her shoulder and told her he'd tell her later. "Anyway, because of some recent events, I found out that I'm a Saiyan, pretty much an alien, which we all know Suki would love." Vegeta didn't understand why everyone was laughing at that. "I also found out that I have an older brother." Kaiya smiled when she saw Yukina's excited expression. "Everyone, this is my older brother, Vegeta."
"And now that introductions are officially out of the way," Yusuke said grinning like an idiot, "we can finally tell you the real reason for this party."
Vegeta quirked his eyebrow in confusion. "What are you talking about?"
"Well, it was Kaiya's idea," Kuwabara stated. "It's kind of like a 'Welcome to Earth' party."
Vegeta was shocked and looked over to Kaiya who just nodded at him. No one had ever done anything like this for him. Any "parties" he had been to in the past were strictly political. This party was a welcoming, a type of entertainment for everyone, a means to get to know one another, and she had done it for him. On a planet where he wanted no attachments or connections, he was now given no choice. He now had a sister, and she was trying to get him to become friends with her friends. She wanted him to belong to their group. That was something he did not want.
"I need to go," Vegeta stated. Before anyone could say anything, Vegeta disappeared from the room. They heard a smashing sound, meaning Vegeta had decided to fly out of Genkai's compound destruction style.
All the guys sighed and looked at Kaiya who looked slightly hurt, still staring at the spot Vegeta had been standing in. "Kaiya?" Mayonaka tried. "You okay?"
Kaiya regained her senses and forced a smile. "Yeah, I'm okay. Anyway, let's eat. I'm very hungry."
"Sure, Kaiya," Yusuke said.
Vegeta stormed into the compound and Bulma could only assume that something happened with his sister. She could not, for the life of her, figure out what it was as Kaiya seemed like a nice and accepting girl. The young Saiyan/demon hybrid seemed to take Vegeta as he was, not caring about his past transgressions. "Hey Vegeta," Bulma greeted as he began to stomp past her. "How was your day with Kaiya?"
Vegeta, not in the mood to deal with anymore Earthlings and their strange habits or desire to talk, ignored her and went upstairs to his room. When Bulma heard his door slam shut, she sighed. "Well, I guess it went well," she muttered sarcastically before returning to her magazine.
