The Wish That Never Was: Chapter 9: Boot Camp!

By kyllir

Disclaimer: I don't own Dragonball, or any characters therein, however, I wish Chibi Vegeta was mine ^_^

A/N: I'd like to thank all my reviewers, and Ryan, you should know who I'd go to the island with… Vegeta! *Watches as readers sweatdrop* I guess I should just get on with the story, eh?

It was dark, the sun hadn't risen yet, and then a tiny beam of light began to peek over the horizon. The light scattered slowly, until eventually, the beams struck a small pink house. Suddenly, an ear splitting cry pierced the serenity of the morning,

"You expect me to wear THAT!?" came Vegeta's protest, as Kamesennin held up a weighted turtle shell, it was pink.

"Well, it IS one of the most successful training methods I use, and if it's too heavy for you…" he was cut off as Vegeta glared at him and put on the shell over his gi, Gokou and Kuririn wandered in from their room, sleepily rubbing their eyes, their turtle shells already on.

"This is too light, I cant even feel it, how is this supposed to make me stronger?" Vegeta questioned the old man, who sweatdropped, turned around, and pulled out a larger shell from the closet.

"Try this one on," he grunted as he hefted it into Vegeta's arms with some difficulty, Vegeta took it and pulled off the other shell and put the larger one on.

"This is better, I can feel this one, sort of. How much does this one weigh?" Vegeta asked as he tested the weight by stretching and flexing his muscles, the old master looked at him with wide eyes,

"Oh, that one is about five hundred pounds," Kamesennin told him, "now lets start our training schedule, eh? Gokou and Kuririn will show you what to do." Vegeta rolled his eyes and followed the sleepy pair as they jogged into the city. Soon they reached a building, they knocked twice on the door, and were handed three boxes filled with milk bottles, as the old teacher had called in advance informing them that he had another student. They each took up a box, and began skipping,

"Why are we skipping?!?" Vegeta demanded in annoyance,

"Skip to my Lou, skip to my Lou my darling" Gokou sang out, then turned slightly to answer Vegeta's question,

"We're skippin' `cause the Turtle Guy told us to, and its s'posta exercise our legs or somethin'" a house came into view, and they skipped into the yard, placing a full milk bottle in the box and removing the empty one. This done, they began to jog, zigzagging all over the place and running, trying to get the milk to its destination by breakfast time. Eventually they reached a mountain, Kuririn grumbled and began trudging up the stairs, Gokou followed with a grin on his face, and Vegeta trailed behind with an expression of indifference, all his milk bottles had been delivered, any other moving was a bonus.

The trio quickened their pace a few times, struggling to reach the top before breakfast time. Vegeta still had the indifferent expression on his face as they reached the halfway point, Gokou had a look of intense concentration, and Kuririn looked as if he would collapse at any moment. By the time they reached the top, not much had changed, besides the fact that Kuririn was breathing very raggedly and panting like a dog. Gokou pulled the last bottle from his carton and placed it in the milk slot, taking the empty bottle with him as they went back down the stairs.

"I'll never get used to this…" Kuririn mumbled as he began his descent, Vegeta smirked widely at him and walked calmly back down the stairs, his tail waving behind him. They continued on, crossing rivers and canyons, until all of the bottles were delivered. They then walked back to the house,

"Wait `til you see what we get to do next!" Gokou grinned widely, "We get to play with dirt!" Vegeta rolled his eyes, and then caught sight of the old perverted master sitting on a hill, looking through a magazine of some sort. The prince shrugged and continued following the younger boys until they reached a field. Gokou and Kuririn ran ahead, nodded at Kamesennin, and began to dig with their hands. Vegeta looked at them, then at his sensei, shrugged and began to dig.

The trenches that they dug became longer and longer, until they had tilled the entire field. Vegeta was way ahead of the others, and was having little or no difficulty with the chore. He finished quickly, and realized that his fellow students would be taking quite some time with the task. He sighed heavily and decided to warm up. He dropped into a defensive stance, and began rapidly kicking and punching the air, and eventually lifted himself off the ground, fighting the invisible enemy. Suddenly, he launched a shining ki sphere into the air, reached out with his mind, and made it move around him. The ball whipped around him at unbelievable speeds, and suddenly, he let it go, and it headed straight for him. Moving faster than the eye could see, he grabbed it in his hands and crushed it, and it disappeared. Satisfied with his mini-warm-up session, he floated gracefully back to the ground.

"How'd ya do that?" Gokou asked with awe, Kuririn just gawked, Vegeta smirked at them and headed towards where their master was sitting, still flipping through magazines. He paused for a moment and turned around,

"Maybe I'll show you later," he told them, then continued up the hill.

When they got back to the Kame house they stopped dead in their tracks, Gokou and Vegeta both struggling to contain themselves as they smelled the aroma of food. Suddenly, Kuririn was left in a cloud of dust as both Saiya-jins made a mad dash to the door. They found waiting for them a feast of gigantic proportions, however not as big as the breakfast Vegeta had at Capsule corp. Neither of the tailed boys cared how big it was, they pounced and began tearing at it. Once the edge of his hunger was assuaged, Vegeta turned towards Kamesennin to talk, and not a moment too soon either. The old man was seated directly across from Bulma, who was sitting between Vegeta and Gokou, and was `accidentally' dropping meatballs on the floor, and bending over to pick them up. Vegeta had a sneaking suspicion that meatballs weren't all he was after, and bent down to look under the table. He caught the old master's gaze for a moment, and followed it. He then glared daggers at the old man and inadvertently powered up. The pervert caught his venomous glare, and quickly got out from under the table, bumping his head because of the hasty retreat. Vegeta cleared his throat, and still glaring at his master, he spoke,

"When are we going to learn actual fighting techniques?" Kamesennin rubbed the pulsing bump on his head painfully and his eyes widened,

"Uhm, actually…" he saw that Vegeta had increased the potency of his glare, and gulped, but gathered his nerve back, "well, y'see, the point of my training is to improve physical prowess and strength, not to show off a bunch of funky moves…" Vegeta's look became murderous. Kamesennin sweatdropped and changed tact, "Ehh, but I'll tell you what, if you show me and the boys how to do that little trick you did when you got here, then I'll show you some of my more advanced techniques, alright?" Vegeta considered it for a moment, then looked at the man like he was crazy,

"You mean you don't know how to make a ki blast?" he exclaimed in disbelief, then he remembered that most humans could not generate ki, but if he didn't know how to create ki blasts, how had he done his `kamehameha'? he snapped out of his reverie and nodded,

"Alright, I'll teach you after lunch then." He said with finality as he resumed eating at an unfathomable speed.

Alrighty, I've decided to cut it a little short, `cause I know y'all are getting impatient with my updating speed. This chapter was short, I know. *clears throat and talks in the narrator voice* What? Kamesennin doesn't know how to make ki blasts? What kind of insanity is this? We'll find out next time, in The Wish That Never Was: Chapter 10: Vegeta, the Teacher!

Poll results: Vegeta came in first, Trunks was a close second, and Gokou came in third ^_^

New poll: If could ask any DBZ character any question, who would it be, and what question would you ask?

Have a groovy day! AND MAY THE FICS BE WITH YOU!!!
