...
Vegeta clenched his teeth hard, he was unwilling to apologize for his actions, after all, his son had told him he had been killed by those android's.
Goku seeing Vegeta in a dilemma whispered in a low voice, "just do it Vegeta, I really wanna know how he transformed into those forms", Vegeta was gritting his teeth so hard, vein's started appearing on his cheeks.
Kuraiya waved his hand and sat down, "I don't want you to apologize to me, just apologize to my woman, you know just how protective we are of our women Vegeta".
Vegeta unclenched his fists and stop biting down on his jaw, 'sigh', "I'll do it, but you have to tell me how to achieve the next level of power".
"What?, no fair Vegeta, you can't do that, I thought we were both going to..", "shut up!, idiot!, I'm not doing anything for you!, not in a million years!, if you want to know, then offer something worthwhile!".
Goku scratched his head thinking hard and he really couldn't come up with anything, Kuraiya sat across from them, was a little shaken, he hadn't expected Vegeta to give in so quickly.
But then he understood, [in the face of growing stronger, one will throw aside their differences.], he remembered him doing it when he tried to fight Whis, he completely cast aside his pride and even offered to make fried rice for him.
Back on the outside, 18 heard this and she didn't know how to accept the apology, however Marcarita pulled the group back from the dimension when she saw Kuraiya's thumbs up posture.
'Thud'
Everyone fell to the ground forcibly, except for Kuraiya, Marcarita put extra care in keeping any dirt from touching his skin or clothes.
Kuraiya seeing that Krillin, Tien and Trunk's were still unconscious waved to Marcarita again, "heal the purple haired boy, I kinda went a little overboard with him".
After everyone was back up and able to walk again, Vegeta with a red face knelt on one knee in front 18, "I'm deeply sorry for my prideful nature, it was because of this, that I went and attacked you, because my pride couldn't allow anyone to be above me".
Kuraiya too had a red face after hearing Vegeta's self apologizing, "how shameless, you didn't even apologize, that was clearly excusing yourself".
18, wanted to punch him, "what kind of apology is that, you clearly apologized to yourself", "Lazuli, just accept it, he can barely even say thank you, it's at least something, ain't it".
After hearing Kuraiya's word's, 18 just snorted and nodded, Vegeta seeing this immediately stood up and went straight to Kuraiya.
"I.. I must know, how did you achieve super saiyan 2", Kuraiya just scratched his head and replied modestly, "well, I achieved it when I was under too much pressure, but, it's honestly easy, just master super saiyan, and put all your rage into a single person and Wala".
"It's that easy?", Vegeta looked at Goku and shook his head, [he doesn't put too much rage into me, I just hold him in contempt, he's too soft for a saiyan and it just makes me pissed off, nothing more.., hmm, that fat man.]
Vegeta had vein's appear all over his face, he took a breath in and nodded, "and how exactly can I master the first form", Kuraiya looked at Goku who was hiding behind a tree, his hair sticking out.
He shook his head and spoke a little louder, "just use it for daily basis thing's, it only takes about 3 to 5 day's, after that, the energy usage drops significantly and you're emotions are easily subdued in the process".
Goku jumped out running towards them, "it's that easy, you know, I was kinda thinking the same thing and when I saw you use it, I noticed there was no leaking of your ki, have you mastered it's use to such a degree, it's incredible!".
Kuraiya waved his hand, he turned to face Vegeta, his face serious, "most importantly Vegeta, to achieve super saiyan 3, that requires a person of great significance to oneself, for this digital circus next us, it could be planet earth".
Vegeta nodded, his breathing rapid, his excitement in surpassing the clown next to him was magnified.
Kuraiya looked up to a certain area and frowned, he turned his gaze to 18 solemnly, she noticed it, almost instantly and she started to have a bad feeling.
She walked over to his side and whispered, "what is it, did something happen?", "it's nothing too serious, it's just that I sense an aura similar to every fighter here except myself".
He knew what it was, he had felt the energy once already and it seemed even more arrogant than the last one he fought against.
Kuraiya could feel it growing rapidly at this moment, as if it had devoured something important, "let's go, I'll take care of it", the two vanished and when Vegeta and Goku saw them go, they became curious.
They looked at eachother and nodded in understanding, they too vanished quickly to follow Kuraiya, though they can barely sense him, he still leaks out mortal ki.
They appeared and saw Kuraiya's fist implanted into a green creature, soon it spat 17's body out after doing this it, it even stumbled back in fear, "no!.. no!.. I was so close!.., I was so close in reaching my perfection!..", the creature turned to see both Vegeta and Goku and he felt like he saw a lifeline.
"Hehehe, Gok...", Kuraiya raised his hand and obliterated Cell from existence, his feet remained firmly on the ground, it looked quite comical.
18 was already by 17's body that was covered in mucus and slime, Kuraiya had already stopped her from touching the passed out brother in law, he didn't want his woman being covered in another slimy substance apart from his own.
"Can't you smell it, I put extra care into that outfit you're wearing, if that stuff gets on you..", 'sniff' 'sniff', "nevermind, let's go quickly, I totally forgot about cleaning ourselves up".
Kuraiya panicked, he turned to see Vegeta and Goku scratching their faces, [damnit, they can smell it, agh!, Lazuli!, stop dawdling, c'mon, if you're brother smells our scent, he'd definitely be weirded out.]
18 closed her eyes, stood up slowly and coughed, "you're right, let's go clean up first", Kuraiya thought back to how he was mere millimeters away from Chi Chi, Goku's wife, she probably thought he was a barbarian.
"Kakarot, you should leave, this guy is set to kill you, unless he deems it impossible, Vegeta settle in Lapis, 'cough', I mean 17 in your home for about an hour, we need a uh, a quick clean up".
He left with 18 in a hurry, Vegeta just thought about it, his face slightly red, [a bath with my bulma.], he turned to face Goku and shook his head, [this idiot probably doesn't even have the saiyan fetish of water battles.]
He turned to 17 and spoke in distain, "stop faking already, their gone now, I suggest you too, get yourself cleaned up you damn android, you stink of dead fish".
17 opened his eyes and glared at Vegeta, he slowly stood and when his eyes landed on Goku, he went straight into a combat stance.
"So.. you came right to me, I haven't seen anyone more stupid than yourself, have you come to me for a battle or are you just going to let me end this myself".
Goku just laughed sheepishly, "hahahaha!, well I can see in your eyes that you don't want to do that..", he got a glare from Vegeta, shutting him up quite fast.
17 smiled and put his hands in his pockets, "your not wrong, after I've finished with my rest, I'm gonna come after you".
"Hehehe, I'll be welcome to have a brawl anytime, but I don't go easy on my foes", "enough!, Kakarot!, go home, or else I'll have my own share of shouting!".
Goku winced back and slouched his shoulders, he nodded reluctantly and flew off.
"Now that, that idiot is gone, mind telling me about what that creature was".
Kuraiya and 18 reappeared in a bank vault, the two looked at eachother in complete understanding, they nodded, took as much as they could and made a quick escape.
18 had a wide smile on her face as they were robbing a bank, she has never felt so exhilarated in her life, Kuraiya had already told her the thrill of robbing the unsuspected.
"Let's use this to buy ourselves a night of bathing", 18 paused and gave Kuraiya an irritated snort, "a night, why do you make it sound like our honeymoon".
Kuraiya shrugged his shoulders, "it's for the best, back at my own world, you'll have to fight to get another chance", Kuraiya felt a headache coming along and he slowly felt his back covered in sweat.
"What does that mean?, is their more than one woman you have", she completely threw aside Marcarita's appearance, she felt like that woman was a servant, that was the vibe she was getting from her at least.
Kuraiya seeing her expression, scratched his cheek, his eyes darting around, "well.., wives, I have them", he didn't fully answer her question, but she still got her answer.
"I should've known you had more than one woman..", her anger eased up abit, but she asked another question, her eyes still narrowed, "how many?".
Kuraiya stopped all pretense, he looked her in the eyes without breaking eye contact, "I have 31 wives, I've recently just married seven of them".
"Thirty... Thirty one, what are you.., a emperor?", Kuraiya shook his head, "I don't want a position of status, I've watched too many TV shows where there's too many in-fighting for the seat after the one in power dies".
He immediately thought of game of thrones series and his own world, yes the daimyo's family is the same, when the person of status dies, that person's children will kill eachother just to sit on the seat.
No one will question it either, after all that person will be handing out the checks for people's wallets.
18 hearing his repute about her sarcasm, was a little stunned, Kuraiya tried to divert the conversation about power, so he decided with teasing instead, "don't you know why I have that many, even you can't handle me alone, let alone them".
He sounded proud of it, though he didn't speak about Hinata's unreasonable suction ability, he still had a reasonable amount of stamina to handle a five a day.
18 held the money in her hand, closed her eyes and reopened them, they locked onto Kuraiya quickly and she spoke in a sharp tone, "so you're saying they unite against you..".
"No.., they don't do that, they're not that childish", 18 had a vein appear on her forehead, she thought about a group of opposition.
[There's no in fighting.., that's impossible, there should be at least some with discontent.], she kept repeating different questions and gave up after the last one.
"There's gotta be at least some fighting between them right!", Kuraiya paused for a moment before nodding, "ah..", "don't go getting happy, the last fight after some secret digging I made, it was because they wanted to assert themselves as the main wife..".
Kuraiya had a guess in his heart at least, if Hinata had won, she probably would've kept everyone away, probably even made them watch their sparring without letting them get any action themselves.
He had an understanding of her personality already in great depth, she's secretly greedy and possessive, he once heard her muttering one time about tying him up and running away.
With the older one though, it's slightly worse, that possessiveness after giving birth had grown secretly, though she was hiding it, he could still sense it.
He had no idea that (B) Hinata, when she first saw him had already thought about possessing him for herself, it was instinctive, in fact their meeting was determined in every timeline and they have a child within each one, eventually.
(Cough, in most timelines with Hinata and Kuraiya was either fated or forced by the sage of six paths to give birth to a powerful child, both with an extreme sage body and a byukagan, that can easily evolve.
So Kuraiya kinda pulled her away from the six paths grasp, though Hagaromo will most likely send Hanabi over instead now, after all he already knows about Kuraiya's powerful blood inheritance from Kawaki, that child of Kuraiya's will then be the reincarnation of Hagaromo.
The sage body of Kuraiya will be explained next chapter.)
He sighed and packed the last bag, turned towards 18 and smiled, "let's go.., staying hung up on such things will only sour your mood".
He walked over to her side and she poked his chest stopping him from advancing further, "we'll get the night bath, you got that!".
Kuraiya looking down at her smiled and nodded, wrapping his arm around her waist, they vanished once more.
.
Next day.
.
18 awoke and she saw Kuraiya staring intently at her, "what?, it's morning, don't tell me you're already ready again?", Kuraiya shook his head and replied annoyed, "you have a bomb implanted in you right, along with a shut down mechanism?".
18 went quiet for a moment, before nodding, "get dressed, we're going to you're brother and we're leaving after it, I don't want my ears chewed out for staying away for too long", he stood up while pulling her along with him.
After they had a quick wash, they went straight to Vegeta's home, there they bumped into Bulma and he stood frozen on the spot when he saw her.
Her appearance was exaggeratingly stunning, though it's to be expected from a well known and rich family, but in Kuraiya's mind, her appearance was below his women, that was in his own view though.
He coughed and spoke calmly, "we're here for 17", Bulma was a little scared after seeing him appear out of thin air, even if he was wearing formal clothes, his appearance was still barbaric with a sad frown, due to him having a similar appearance to Broly.
She swallowed and pointed to a nearby room, "he.. he's in there", "thanks, we'll be on our way, so don't make us any food or drinks, okay".
When she saw him leave with 18, Bulma stomped the ground hard, "why do all saiyan's have a personality problem, they don't introduce themselves, nor do they show any respect!..".
She sighed and held her red cheeks, "well, I kinda find it attractive, it's what brought me to my prince charming after all".
Kuraiya and 18, had no idea what Bulma was doing, with her personality shifting constantly every few seconds.
Upon entering the room, they saw 17 with a bird on his finger, "you finally came back sis, I was going to tell you what I had planned for the future, I plan for me and 16 to become rangers in protecting the wildlife".
18 was stunned for moment, "what?, don't you care about me at all?, I was kidnapped and he still plans on taking me away?", 17 chuckled with a hidden glint in his eyes.
"He's strong, so why worry about it, with him by your side, I doubt anyone would think twice about attacking you, I'd say you got exactly what you wanted, you did say you wanted a kind and roug..".
She appeared in front of him, covering up his mouth stopping him from continuing, her face reddening after her secret fantasies were almost revealed, "don't even think about saying another word, even if you're my brother, I won't think twice about beating you a new image".
17 surrendered quickly, his arms raised as he turned his attention to Kuraiya, "have you come to say goodbye", Kuraiya shook his head and nodded at the same time.
"Yes and no, first off, have the bombs been removed from you and 16", 17 raised his eyebrow and shook his head, "not yet, but the brief's were already planning on doing that though".
Kuraiya looked towards the window behind 17 waved his hand, his face slightly exasperated, "come out Marci, do me this favor please".
A whirling appeared right outside the window behind 17 and Marcarita whistled as she made her way towards the two android's.
"Let me take them out of you, it won't be long", with a simple tap of the staff, both the off switch and bomb were removed swiftly and they appeared in her hand, "I'm deeply interested in these bombs, so I'll be taking them for personal reasons", she threw the off switch aside, it didn't interest her enough.
Kuraiya hearing her words twitched his lips, "alright, Lazuli, say your goodbyes, we're leaving".
18 looked between the two, until she snorted and turned away, "goodbye sis", "tch".
17 just smiled as he watched her walking behind Kuraiya, he could clearly see her tearing up, he finally spoke in a cold tone this time, "if you ever hurt my sister, don't blame me for being impolite, the next time we meet".
Kuraiya smiled brightly hearing this, "I'll do more than that, I'll send her over the moon, ughh.., I mean I'll take good care of her", 18 squeezed his waist and twisted it, causing Kuraiya to change his words.
