Chapter Five: Training Montage Time

It's been over six hours, I hope Hikari's ok. He never came back after his teleporting act. 'Did he run away?' No, he wouldn't leave me here alone. 'I guess I'll just cook something for myself then.' I went over to the kitchen and checked the cupboards, finding some packaged food to cook. It was mainly cereal in there, but I managed to find some mashed potato packages and got some frozen meat from the freezer. Making a meal for myself and putting an extra plate in the fridge for Hikari, I sat on the couch. This particular model had a TV that was connected to my dad's personal satellite. It was put in mainly so I could contact him away from home, but it also played television shows.

Finishing my meal and putting the dish away, I continued to watch my favorite shoe. It was about a young boy who had fallen for his two older female classmates, and both had noticed and reciprocated his feelings. The boy is oblivious to this while the two girls noticed that they both like him and started to compete for his affection. I found it hilarious yet charming in a way, I wanted to have a boy fall for me too. All I ever got were boys trying to get me for bragging rights and money.

My thoughts led me back to Hikari, and how he fit my ideals. The only problem was his age, but, I had seen couples with much greater age differences right? How was this different? No, of course it was different, he's ten, a kid. Yet… He acted much older, and seemed to understand life much better than I did. I wonder how he got so insightful.

I continued to fight my opponent, a copy of my self using [Multiform Technique]. It didn't grant me much experience, but it did help me increase my stats faster due to fighting a real enemy. I had been in this ID for quite a while now and knew I needed to head back, before Bulma got too worried.

Heh, I think that's enough for now. "ID Escape"

The world breaks around me, and suddenly I'm in front of the capsule house, right where I entered the ID. 'Note to self: Can't travel in IDs.' I walked up to the door, but hesitated. 'I hope she doesn't think I was going to abandon her.'

I opened the door and walked in, spotting Bulma sitting on the couch in a blanket watching TV. She seemed to notice me as well but did not voice it, instead she just kept watching the show. I walked over and sat down on the other end of the couch, and waited for one of us to break the silence. I wanted to, but I was afraid of the reaction it would get.

"Hikari." Bulma said, her voice even, not showing emotion.

"Yes, Bulma?" I asked, keeping my tone level as well.

She didn't say anything for a bit, and I looked over to find her up and walking over. She sat down next to me but kept her eyes on the TV. "Where did you go?"

"To train."

"I know that, I meant where. You teleported or something earlier."

"That was…" I looked away from her. "Sigh, I opened a pocket dimension where only I listed on the Earth to train with no distractions."

"... I, believe you."

I snapped my head back to her, finding her staring at me. "You do? I thought you would brush that off as me evading the question."

"You have already broken my perception of the world by your sheer speed and strength. Nothing else you say or do can make me question reality anymore."

I thought about it for a second, before coming to a decision. "What if I said my life was a Game?"

"... What."

"Start Party, Name, so you feel it now mister krabs?"

Party Created

Do You Feel It Now Mister Krabs?

"What are you doing Hikari?"

"Party Invite, Bulma"

Immediately, Bulma's face turned to chock as she sat there staring at a screen popup in front of her face. Eventually she came too and pressed Accept on the screen. We spent the next hour talking about it. I explained most of what I knew, other than Exit Game, and she made hypothesis about how other things I didn't know about worked. Fun Fact, Sponge bob exists in this world, and she got the joke as she was apparently really in touch with the Net, which was invented by her great-grandfather here. Not questioning how it was already better than internet service in our world.

Soon it was getting late again and we got ready for bed. I was setting up on the couch before Bulma walked into the room after her shower.

"Bed, no arguing Hikari. I promise that won't happen again."

I just sighed and got into the bed, I was too tired to fight her on this. Training had taken a lot out of me, and I still don't know how I acquired the need to train, must be saiyan instinct or something. Welp, sleep time.

I woke up in the middle of the night, feeling a warmth in front of me I looked down to find myself latched onto Hikari, for the second time apparently. I noticed that I felt hot and realized I might have been having a dream again, this time I didn't know if I did or not. Hey, I don't always remember my dreams. I went to unlatch myself and just get back to sleep, before I felt something poke me as I was shifting. I froze as I heard a groan from Hikari too.

I quickly figured out what it was that was poking me and was honestly more surprised than anything. I know he already knew about 'it' because of the way he reacted last time, but I didn't think he could get… 'excited.' I just ignored it and tried to untangle myself from him, before giving up when he shifted a little with an annoyed face. I decided that I didn't care anymore and went back to sleep, I'll deal with the fallout in the morning if it comes to that.

Hopefully little Hikari goes down before then and I can just say we were hugging in our sleep or something…

I woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside the window near the bed, and latched onto Bulma, who was laying on my chest this time. Great. I used telekinesis to move her off of me, waking her up in the process.

"Oh hey Hikari, you never told me you can lift things without touching them." She spoke, still half asleep and rubbing her eyes.

I sat her down on the bed after getting up. "I can tell you about my abilities some other time, we need to get dressed for the day." I told her as I sat on the couch.

"Ok then." She got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower and get changed.

I got up after she left and went outside, there was a lake nearby. Taking my clothes off I jumped in and caught a couple fish, letting the water wash me off while I was at it. Then went back inside with the fish I had caught and prepared them over the sink. I went through the cupboards and got other things out and set them next to the fish to be made with it, setting up the stove and starting the burner. I started opening some canned corn and carrots, putting toe corn on a burner with some butter spread on it and the carrots got some brown sugar before being put on as well. Then I got to work cooking the fish, getting two done before putting them on a plate and taking the corn and carrots of the burner. Setting them aside to cool a bit, I cooked myself three fish and put them on a plate. Then I put some of the corn and carrots on each plate and set the table with some water for me. I'll let Bulma get whatever drink she wants from the fridge.

I yelled out to Bulma, "Hurry up, the foods done!" before starting to eat my plate. I should of expected what came next, she came out in a towel of all things. I just stared at for for a second before speaking. "Why are you not dressed, more importantly, why would you come out in a towel in front of me?" I asked

"Oh don't worry, it's not like your seeing anything too important. I'm only not dressed because I forgot to grab clothes on my way to the bathroom. My question is, where did you learn to cook? I know you would know how to do simple things since you lived alone for a couple years, but this isn't that simple to me."

"For your information, I taught myself with Gohan's cooking books." I told her. "Now either go get dressed quickly or sit down and eat, it's gonna get cold if you just stand there."

She went and got dressed before coming back and eating. After we were both finished we decided it was time to get going and put the house back into capsule form. Bulma asked me to keep her capsule in my Inventory from now on, which saved me the trouble of making sure Yamcha doesn't break them later. I took out a car this time and we took off down the trail.

'Welp, Time to go make bacon out of that fucking pig, there's no way I'm traveling with that little shit…
