The Wish That Never Was: Chapter 10: Vegeta, the Teacher!?!

By kyllir

Disclaimer: You know the drill, I don't own it, but Chibi Vegeta is adorable!

A/N: There are no authors notes this time, other than a great big thank you to all my readers and reviewers ^_^ we're almost at 300! Yay!

Vegeta paced back and forth, glancing from one person to the next. In front of him stood a line of three people, Gokou, Kuririn, and Kamesennin. His pacing was not unlike that of a military drill Sargent, looking at them as if he'd whip the first person that stepped out of line. The line began sweating nervously, keeping up the stiff militaristic pose of a soldier. Then a small bee flew around the company, whizzing around everyone's heads, and landing briefly on Gokou's nose before taking off again and flying out of view. Gokou's nose twitched, and suddenly, he sneezed, breaking the perfect soldier appearance of the company.

"Kakarott!" Vegeta yelled as Gokou stood up straight again, though more relaxed, and rubbing his nose. He grinned at Vegeta,

"So, when we gonna start? Or are we gonna just stand here all day?" Vegeta slapped his forehead with his palm, then glared at the youth. Gokou continued to grin stupidly,

"You got something in your eye, Vegeta?" Vegeta increased the potency of his glare enough to make even the toughest person wet themselves. Gokou eeped and backed away a step. Satisfied, Vegeta began his lecture,

"Alright, now we will begin. Before I can tell you anything about utilizing your ki, I must gauge your experience with it, therefore you must describe how you use this `Kamehameha' thing." He turned to Kamesennin, who was glancing back at the house longingly as the sounds of his favorite aerobics show echoed through the yard. Vegeta growled low in his throat, and Kamesennin jumped and turned around,

"R-right, the Kamehameha. Well then," he coughed and regained composure, "To create a Kamehameha wave, you must find the latent energy in your body, and bring it out. The phrase that accompanies it is not totally necessary for someone as expertly inclined to this attack as I am, but it helps to remain focused on it. It also helps to scare the living daylights out of your opponent." The old master stopped when he realized that Vegeta looked unimpressed. He coughed again and concluded all he had to say,

"And that's all there is to it." Vegeta's eyebrow twitched,

"Right, now then, I will describe how ki should be used." He created a ki sphere in his hand and balanced it on one finger, "Ki is your life force, the energy inside you that makes you alive. Every creature has it, even birds and insects, and even the grass. Though all living creatures possess it, it is usually not strong enough to do anything with but walk and breathe and so on." He paused for a moment, "Any type of training will increase the amount of ki you have, and the more you have, the more things you can do with it. To bring out your ki, you may have to visualize since you are not familiar with it. Picture yourself in your mind, imagine that in the center of your body, there is a mass of power." The group closed their eyes and began to imagine and search for their ki force, intense concentration written all over their faces.

"Now, when you find it, picture it traveling through your body, and into your hand, outside of your body." He glanced at his students, Gokou looked both peaceful and determined, Kuririn was frustrated, and the old man had an unreadable expression. Then, all of a sudden, Gokou slowly stretched out one of his arms, a grin coming to his face as he held out a small ball of golden energy. Moments later, Kamesennin held out his arm, glowing with his own bluish energy. Kuririn still had a look of intense concentration on his face,

"I can't find it!" he cried finally, opening his eyes and seeing his fellow students all holding ki spheres. He growled with frustration as his eyes became wet, he didn't let a tear fall, but used the anger to fuel his drive to find the energy within his own body. He closed his eyes again, and a moment later, held out his hand and presented a small glowing sphere of yellow, a triumphant smile on his face. Vegeta sighed, these amateurs were something else, it hadn't taken him half as long to find his ki. The silence was broken suddenly,

"Can we learn to fly now?" Gokou asked excitedly, his tail waving behind him. Vegeta rolled his eyes and nodded,

"Sure, whatever." And then began to float above them,

"The mechanics of flight are quite simple, all you have to do is use that energy you found earlier and stick it under you, and lift yourself off the ground," Gokou, Kuririn and Kamesennin looked at him confusedly,

"Honestly! I didn't have any trouble understanding when I learned to fly! What's so damned hard about it?" he yelled, patience wearing thin. The company gulped and put on their concentrating faces again. After moments of absolutely nothing happening, Vegeta sighed and decided that this group was too remedial to go right at it.

"Stop, lets try something else." He called to them, and one by one they opened their eyes, a look of determination lingering on their defeated faces, "why don't you try ki blasts again, that way you'll get better control of your ki." The group smiled at the suggestion and began concentrating on their ki, and seconds later they all had glowing spheres in their hands, ready to throw. Vegeta shook his head,

"Try forming it into a beam, then shoot it at me," they all looked at him strangely,

"We can't do that, what if we hurt you?" Kuririn asked, Vegeta simply smirked,

"Your blasts wouldn't be strong enough to hurt a Saiya-jin elite, fire away." One by one they drew in deep breaths and shot the beams towards Vegeta. First came Kamesennin's blue beam, which Vegeta knocked out of the way, then Kuririn's yellow beam, which had weakened considerably by the time it reached him, and crushed it between his hands. Then came Gokou's beam, the golden energy whipped towards Vegeta at blinding speeds, and at the last second, Vegeta caught it with one hand, splitting the beam in two, and leaving Vegeta with a singed hand.

"Wow Kakarott, that actually stung a bit, there might be hope for you yet!" It may not have been much, but it was as close to a compliment as anyone could get from Vegeta, Gokou grinned happily and everyone got back to concentrating. Seconds ticked by and slowly they turned into minutes, and finally, a breeze began to blow. The grass below their feet began to ripple around them. Gokou lifted slowly off the ground, as he rose, he began to flail his limbs as though he was swimming and wanted to ascend higher. He was followed shortly after by Kamesennin, who was trying very hard not to make a spectacle of himself and held himself as stiff as a board. Moments after, Kuririn struggled into the air, flailing just as Gokou had.

"Wow! This is really neat!" exclaimed Gokou with a grin, he had since stopped flailing, and was zooming around in a circle. Kamesennin and Kuririn both raised an eyebrow,

"How did he get so good at it so fast?" asked Kuririn, his voice full of jealousy. Vegeta chuckled quietly,

"He's a Saiya-jin, and therefore had a higher ki level than you, Human." Kuririn rolled his eyes at the smirking Saiya-jin, and lowered himself to the ground. Gokou and Kamesennin followed suit and also landed, though the old master had a less than graceful landing. Gokou wiped his forehead in an exaggerated gesture,

"That was fun! I think I still like Kinto'un though!" Vegeta looked at him oddly,

"What is a `Kinto'un'?" he asked the younger Saiya-jin, Gokou gave him a big smile,

"I'll show you. KINTO'UN!!!" he shouted, hurting everyone's ears. Bulma poked her head out the window, wondering what all that racket was, and then walked outside. She watched while the yellow cloud bubbled noisily over to her friend. Gokou jumped atop the cloud. He flew around in a wide circle around Vegeta,

"This is Kinto'un! The Turtle guy gave `im to me! Would you like to ride it?" Vegeta's tail swayed behind him, betraying his interest for all to see. Gokou hopped off the cloud, and Vegeta prepared to jump on top of it. Right before he jumped, he saw a pair of blue eyes and smiled to himself, then jumped. He landed on the cloud, stood for a few seconds without trouble, and then moved his gaze from Bulma to look down at Kinto'un, and lost his balance. He began sinking through the cloud, he couldn't stop himself from falling and landed in a crouched position below the cloud. Everyone present gaped at him, as that was the closest any one of them had gotten to being able to ride it, other than Gokou, of course. Gokou didn't look as surprised as anyone else, and smiled at Vegeta,

"Thanks for teaching me that stuff, Vegeta, now I'm sure to do well in the tournament!" he called gratuitously, Vegeta got up suddenly and without even bothering to dust himself off, turned to Gokou,

"What tournament?"

Well, I'm stopping there for now! I hope my description of ki was somewhat accurate and informative, as it was as much as I understood of it ^_^;;; *Narrator voice* Well, now that the gang knows how to fly, what are they going to do now? What will the upcoming tournament do to fuel our heroes? And how was Vegeta able to stay on Kinto'un so long? These questions to be answered in the next installment of The Wish That Never Was: Chapter 11: Training For the Tournament!
