Not one of Them (DBZ and Naruto fanfic)

Vegeta's Hypothesis and Hoshiko's Breakthrough

~CHAPTER 13~

I was sitting on a branch of a large tree, about seven feet from the ground, examining my saiyan uniform. "Who wears spandex?" I whispered to myself when suddenly something hit me in the back of my head. "Hey!" I shouted as I turned to look at Vegeta.

"Can we start training? The only thing you did once we got here was punch me and then climb that damn tree!" Vegeta said as he glared at me. I could tell he was the one who threw a small stone at my head a second ago. "What are you doing in that tree anyways?"

"Uh I don't know, avoiding you." I answered as I hung upside down from my knees. Vegeta and I were face to face. I flashed him a toothy smile and he just growled at me.

"Just get down so we can begin training already." Vegeta said, bossing me around as usual. "I find it hard to believe you actually have killing instincts." I heard him mutter to himself.

"You are so bossy, can't I relax for a minute?" I asked flatly as I hauled myself back onto the branch and faced Vegeta. He gritted his teeth and growled at me. Just then he charged me so fast I didn't have time to react, and before I knew it I felt a something smash my jaw, and I felt my body slip.

I could feel my body plummet at what seemed like hundreds of feet. As I was falling, I heard someone shouting my name. Then a split second later, I felt my body crash into the hard ground. I let out a yelp as a shooting pain went through my spine. The world around me grew dark, but I shot my eyes open, refusing to fall unconsious. I saw Vegeta kneeling by me shouting my name and apolagizing.

I started breathing hard, and gritted my teeth together as hard as I could. I felt my ki surge through my body, and I let out a cry as I shot up my arm and punched Vegeta below the chin, sending him up in the air. I shot up and screamed. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!!!"

I saw Vegeta fall to the ground, but caught himself and landed on his feet. "ANSWER ME BEFORE I KILL YOU!!!" I Spat. Vegeta stood up and just glared at me. I let out a cry and charged Vegeta as fast as my feet could carry me, and I tried punching him again, but he caught my punch.

"You're not the only one with a high power level." Vegeta said as he tightened his grip on my hand, trying to crush it. I could hear my bones crunch from the force and I let out a cry as went to my knees. "Hurts, doesn't it?"

I growled and sucked up the pain and stood up. I jerked my hand from his grasp and swiped his legs from under him, making him fall on his back. I jumped on top of him and took out a kunai knife I tucked beneath the plated armor I wore and held it in my mouth as I kept his hands to the floor.

"Get off me!" Vegeta shouted.

"hurts, doesn't it?" I mocked, but with the kunai in my mouth it came out as "herch dujench it?" I then took out a small ninja star like weapon (Again, from beneath my armor) And used it to pin Vegeta's one free hand (His glove) to the ground as I took the kunai out of my mouth.

Despite the fact that I planned to kill Vegeta, and that he knew it too, he looked calm... more angry actually. "Why aren't you trembling in fear? I can slit your throat out right now!" I shouted, a bit puzzled.

Vegeta ignored my question and a smirk grew on his face as he snickered. Just then I felt him shove his foot beneath me and kick me in the gut, pushing me off of him as he shot up from where he was laying. "As if silly little knives and weapons like that would kill me that easily." Vegeta retorted.

"I'll show you!" I shouted as I chucked the kunai in my hand at him, but it just bounced off his armor. I growled. "Ugh Stupid armor!"

"I knew you would pull something like that, thus why I chose to wear the armor." Why did he have to think ahead? Damn it! "You know, all that talk about how you were such a blood thirsty killer made me actually think that you could possibly become..." He then paused and laugh.

"I could become what?" I asked as I glared at him, wishing he would just fall over and die.

"Nevermind, it was silly of me to even think the likes of you could become it." Vegeta snickered. "If any saiyan were to become it, it would be me, the almighty saiyan prince Vegeta!!!"

"Tell me now Vegeta!" I shouted.

"You see there is a legend about our race that a saiyan who was far more powerful than any other would become the legendary super saiyan. The saiyan who would become a super saiyan would be given unbelievable power... but it was foolish of me to think you would actually be the legendary super saiyan... You are clearly far too weak."

Once the words reached my ears, I felt my blood rush through my veins, and felt my heart beat faster. I could feel my adrenaline run, and the urge to fight Vegeta took over my body. "No one... calls me... WEAK!" I shouted and charged Vegeta ready to kill him when suddenly I felt something wrap around me.

My heart beat slowed, my blood began to flow as normal, my adrenaline stopped running, and my ki went down. Everything that turned me into a killing machine just STOPPED!!! "WHAT THE HELL VEGETA? GET OFF OF ME." Vegeta had wrapped his arms around me, giving me a hug. He didn't answer. "Ok... you can uh, let go now." I said blushing. "Ok let go on the count of three. THREE!" I said a bit shakily, curious of what he would do. "One, two, THREE!!!" I repeated. "Just get off of me you weirdo!" I said and tried to push him off but it didn't work.

I let out a sigh. "Can you at least tell me why you are hugging me since you won't let go?"

I heard him let out a single laugh. "because," He said quietly. "A saiyan's out burst is usually controlable, but yours isn't as easily. I then came up with a hypothesis . You always talked about being neglected, and being looked down upon. All that depression built up inside of you, making you a ticking time bomb of disaster. You don't realize it but when you fight, you use that hate towards all the people who hated you and forget who you're fighting. This could be great if it's an enemy, but if it's just friendly sparring match and your friend gets a bit cocky, you might as well say fare well to your friend."

"What does that have to do with your stupid little hypothesis?" I asked.

"Let me just make it more simple to understand. As I fought you, I realized you could hold back if you wanted, but after I insulted you, you had no control. You lashed out at Naruto, and that partner on your ninja team both because they insulted you."

"But what about when those kids would make fun of me before?" I asked, still feeling confused.

"That was before you felt the excitement of fighting." Vegeta went on with his theory. "Like I said before, the hate all just built up inside of you, making you become a monster. Once you lashed at me, I came up with the idea that showing kindness and love, would knock you back into your senses... And now I see, my hypothesis was correct." Vegeta explained.

"But wait, you said you thought it would work. You mean you risked your life just to see if you were right about bringing me back to my true self?" I asked feeling a bit touched.

"Actually the worst you could do was injure me a bit, but I guess you could say that yes..." He said, his kindness like tone of voice changing to a tone that said, I can't believe I actually did that for you... Vegeta then let go of me. "You can't control yourself, but if someone shows you love, you can knock out of that trance of yours." Vegeta said sounding careless about a huge breakthrough he solved.

A tear came to my eye. "OH THANK YOU VEGETA-SAMA!!!" I shrieked as I constricted him in a hug.

"Let go of me you freak!" Vegeta shouted trying to push me off.

"Can I call you Veggie?" I asked as I looked up at him.

"No, now let go of me!" He ordered again.

"Alright Veggie!" I said feeling extremely happy as I let go of him.

"I didn't agree that you could call me that!" Vegeta shouted in my face.

"Lay off it Veggie..." Just then my stomach growled so loud, it echoed through the forest. "Now let's go home and eat!" I said as I grabbed Vegeta's wrist and dragged him back to his place.
