Chapter 6: Training!



A/N: Hey guys, the story may be a bit off-plot since the story will mainly focus around Akasma...and the fact that it's a bit hard to stay in the storyline...but still.

Foreign tongue below-


Simisa (Pronunciation: See-me-sah) Means: Delicious

-------------------


In a comfortable-looking room, there the said Aeronan laid. Her lips slightly apart and her eyes shut, she was still out cold. The bed she was in was meant for only a single person and it was located in the middle of the room. White curtains draped over the open windowpane and were getting brushed by a gentle breeze. A blanket covered her form and had a peaceful look to her features. Opening her eyes slowly, it took a moment for her to realize that she was in an unfamiliar room. Tranquil silence filled the air with the soft wind adding to the relaxing atmosphere. With her dazed blue eyes staring up at the ceiling, they shot open in shock and she sat up in a rush.


She darted her head all around her, panicking over the fact that she passed out again and woke up in a different surrounding. She jerked the blanket off of her form stood to her feet and kept moving around in confusion. W-Where am I...? Why am I here?! What's going on?! She mentally panicked, then the moment she made it around the bed she spotted her belongings. Her cases rested against the bed's side on the floor, making her sigh in relief at knowing that no one stole her stuff. She trotted over to her giant case that held her rogue attire, weapons, and her other essentials. Unzipping the top, she peered into it,= and looked for her piece of technology she used out in the forest. She sighed once more, thankful that everything was in there, including her device.


Though her breath hitched, at feeling like someone was watching her...and there was. She turned around to face the open window, only to spot that green man from before. "Eee!-" She jumped back and almost fell comically over the other side of the bed if Piccolo hadn't caught her by the wrist. With him holding her wrist to prevent her from falling backward, she was diagonally hovering just over the edge of the bed. Her big blue pupil shrunk from the contact but she was frozen stiff as well. She couldn't move, couldn't speak, the only thing in her mind right now was, Why did he catch me? Was questioned in her head, with her soft and quiet voice. She stared at him in surprise, while he just gazed upon her with his stern eyes. They stood like that for a good while, until he pulled her up and let go.


Crossing his arms, he turned his back, shut his eyes, and had a scowl evident. "I'm sorry...for earlier... If I had known you were anti-social, I wouldn't have acted the way I did. When Gohan told me you were after you passed out in that forest clearing, I would've waited for an answer," he explained and stood still, not once peeking over at her. Dr. Briefs shared his method of approach when he came up to her. He said that she has to get used to our presence, for her to even speak... I guess I can try it. speaking in his head he waited for a reply.


She stood there, having temptations to flee but her legs were too shaky to move right. Due to her unease, her body gave in and made her fall into a sitting position on the bed. She gulped, her heart raced rapidly and her pupils remained small. With her arms behind her holding herself up, she could feel her own elbows quivering. It took a bit but she managed to get a little used to him. Seeing as she was able to calm down a little, she breathed in and shut her eyes tightly. "T-Thank you..." Her small voice spoke with a soft tone, still keeping her eyes closed.


It showed Piccolo with wide eyes, a frown, and a flush on his cheeks. Her voice was so soft, sweet, quiet, and had sort of like a whisper resonance in her tone. His fingers clenched on his biceps at hearing her speak. "Mhm..." That was all he managed to say, before scolding himself mentally for not giving a proper reply. Dammit! Why didn't I just say, Sure, or, Your welcome... Or, maybe even, No problem?! All of the things to say, I go, mhm! He raged at himself, now gritting his teeth and squinting his black eyes.


"Oh, you're awake!" A familiar voice came from the door that was opened. Akasma and Piccolo looked over and saw Bulma standing in the door frame, giving away a friendly smile. "How are you doing Akasma, did you sleep well?" She questioned the Aeronan with a tilt of her head. All stood quiet, waiting for the shy woman to answer.


"Y-... Yes," She answered after gazing down to her feet and having a faint flush on her light silver cheeks.


"Great!" The blue-haired woman cheerfully said, soon growing a serious face. "Listen... Akasma," Bulma gained her attention with that tone of hers, making the said foreigner peer over her shoulder at her. "Don't leave... I'm already set on trying to find a Chemical Scientist, so why not wait around for a bit until then? Just relax for a while, you've been flying around space for five years straight! Hopping from one planet after another, the least you can do is enjoy yourself while you're here," She finished, watching the woman's light silver face grow a hopeful look. Her blue marbles wavered at her words and her pupils shrunk again.


S-She...is going to...help me? The Aeronan asked herself in her mind, shocked to know that a stranger is willing to lend a hand in her search. "W-Why...?" She asked, with a slight stuttering breath, and watched how Bulma sighed.


The short woman walked over, then folded her arms. "Come on now, we're not cruel you know! After all the trouble of trying to get you to speak, you finally do at the end of the day! It was heart-wrenching to hear that you haven't had any luck yet, then when you broke down... I just couldn't say no! Goku already asked Lord Beerus and Whis if they could help us find someone. They agreed, only because they still wanted more answers from you..." she explained, with her eyes glued to Akasma's. "You know, you've slept the rest of the day and throughout last night, I bet you're hungry.~" A smile formed on her lips and she leaned forward, with a wink.


The girl became flustered and jumped up out of her spot, waving her hands in front of her in defense. She shook her head, shut her eyes tightly, and had a bigger blush on her cheeks. "Hey Piccolo, why are you here anyway? Did you come to check up on our friend here?" Bulma asked, having her eyes locked with black ones.


"Yeah... I just wanted to see if she was awake," He answered then turned his back to them with his eyes shut. He walked over to the window and was about to leave until he felt a hand gently grab his forearm, then looked over only to see Akasma looking away down at the floor. She patted his bicep shakily in reassurance, signaling that she forgave him.


He smiled at her action, then turned and left through the window. "Come on, Akasma, we're going to have some breakfast!" Bulma announced then grabbed the said woman's wrist and dragged her out the door. The silver-skinned woman flailed her arms about while being dragged out of the room, emitting cute muffled sounds from her mouth.


In the kitchen, Bulma's family sat around the table with food littered on it. Everyone turned their head at seeing the blue-haired woman come out, with Akasma in her grip. She kept rapidly waving her arms around and had a flush on her cheeks. With her chibi form, she got lifted with one hand by the back of her dress and was sat down in a chair. "Let me properly introduce her, this is Akasma Shigiyuki! She's from a completely different planet and while she's here, she will stay in the guest room. I'm sure you all already know of her situation from yesterday..." she sternly stated the last sentence with her palms clamped on her hips. A man with pointed black hair and a strict feature, glared at the new ally with his arms folded.


"Hmph..." That was all the man gave in response while shutting his eyes. Akasma was still chibified, having her hands clenched in front of her face and her big blue marbles peeking over them.


"This is Vegeta and he's Trunks, now since we are all here, let's eat!" She exclaimed with her index finger pointing to them one at a time, then clasped her hands together. She paced around the table and sat next to Vegeta, grinning at him in the process. After saying their thanks, they began to eat in silence. Trunks kept staring at Akasma from the corner of his eyes, sipping up noodles while doing so. The said woman was gripping onto her dress from nervousness, gazing upon the food that lied before her.


W-What is this...stuff...? Is this meat? It's certainly not fish...or any kind of seafood... Her mental words echoed, questioning the foreign food layout. She shyly scanned her eyes across the display of nutrients, trying hard to examine them. Vegeta watched her as he ate, with a risen brow and a piece of meat in his mouth. Akasma wasn't really paying attention to everyone else, thus she didn't notice the quick eating man in front of her.


"You ok?" Trunks asked curiously, eyeing her with a noddle hanging from his lips. She didn't stir, keeping her attention glued to the large piece of meat in front of her and a contemplating feature evident.


"Er... Akasma? It's safe to eat, nothing's poisonous I promise," Bulma chirped, then formed a friendly smile right after. She had a question scratching at the back of her head, about why she was being so hesitant. "Have you ever had this kind of meat before?" She managed to ask and that question, made the said woman perk up.


Her face tinted even deeper in red, out of sheer embarrassment. Shrinking into her seat, she nodded her head and shut her eyes. "Well, what kind of food do you eat? Since you're from a different planet and all, you must have a different source of food," She mentioned while watching the said woman nod at her words.


"S-Sea...food... F-Fruit, b-berries, f-fish and...vegetables," She replied hesitantly while keeping her eyes tightly closed. Mrs. Briefs just blinked in thought, mentally questioning her planet's resources.


"Wow....your planet doesn't really have a lot to choose from, huh?" The blue-haired woman asked, before taking a bite from her food. She noticed how Akasma rose her head and confusedly gazed at her. Watching her roll her eyes to her unused plate, she paused in her eating and chewed what she had in her mouth.


"I thought...w-we had a good...source o-of food," The Aeronan mentioned with hidden thoughts swarming her mind. In her line of vision, she saw a piece of meat with a bone sticking out, slowly slide onto her plate. She blinked at it, then shifted her gaze to view who did it. The boy next to her was looking at her innocently and gave a grin.


"Try it!" That was all he said to her, before going back to eating his own grub. Akasma looked back down at the food, then tentatively went to pick it up by the bone. Raising it to her lips, everyone at the table stopped with their eating and watched her try it out; even Vegeta paused in mid-chew. She chewed, slowly tasting its flavor and judging rather if it was good or not. After she swallowed her cheeks turned red, her eyes closed, and planted a palm on one of them, making a delighted smile form all the while.


"SIMISA!~" She rose her voice in delight then soon realized what she had just done...she spoke out. Her face lit up brightly once she opened her eyes in shock and saw everyone gaze at her astonishingly. She shrunk back into her seat with chibi-mode on and dropped her irises to her plate. "T-That means...d-delicious..." Managing to mumble her explanation, Bulma beamed and grinned.


"I'm happy you like it!" she chirped and giggled lightly. She too began to eat again while the other two did the same. As time passed, they got done with their food and went about their own business. Akasma was outside training wearing her rogue attire, only without her hood on. She had her short sword out, swinging it; although it didn't appear to be your average short sword, it seemed to extend out like a whip and lash out at a great distance. It emitted a metallic resonance with every swipe she'd make with it, slicing through the air in the space before her. She'd twirl quickly with it following her movements then jumped in the air and spun sideways, making the whip sword follow along. Her movements were so swift, graceful, and skillful. At times she would even disappear and reappear in the air swiping out her sword at the space below her.


Once she got done training with her short sword, she sheathed it on her back and stood with her two feet close together. Taking a deep breath, she shut her eyes and opened them right after. Leaning over, she put both her arms behind her, halfway kneeled down, and glared at an invisible target. She focused on it, straightened out her fingers, and made pink ki beads faze out of her body to form kunai in between her fingers. After this, I'll have to practice my archery... I must keep up my father's teachings, so I wouldn't get too rusty with them. A mental note was taken, then she narrowed her blue pupils.


She chucked her kunai out, forming one back every time another was thrown. Her arms moved rapidly and almost blindingly while streams of pink from her kunai flew across the yard. They struck the invisible targets, though hitting trees and other obstacles that were in their way as well. Nothing but pink light reached across Bulma's yard in a coned radius, giving off flashes through the windows of the house. She stopped, panting slightly, and stood straight once more. "Now then..." she spoke, reaching for her bow and taking an archery stance. Raising her bow, she pulled the string back and as she did, blue ki beads fazed from her and formed an arrow. She stood in that position for a while, contemplating rather she should shoot or not. "No...not here..." Mumbling quietly to herself, only for it to be in vain when someone cleared their throat. She jumped at the sound and turned to face it, accidentally shooting the arrow at a bush and freezing it into solid ice...


"What do you mean, No, not here...?" Vegeta asked in his usual strict voice with his arms folded, while he hovered above the house a bit. He rolled his gaze over at the now icy bush, soon raising a brow. Akasma looked away, feeling that phobia of hers kicking so he waited and watched her become nervous over just his presence alone.


It took a minute but she managed to reply to him with a stuttering breath. "I- It's...too...dangerous here...to shoot...m-my...e-elemental...a-arrows..." she hesitantly answered, making the spiky-haired man scoff and look away.


"Lucky for you... I was going to go out and train today. If you don't want to ruin anything, I'd advise you to follow me... You can train in the same place as me...just don't get in my way..." Vegeta answered with his eyes closed and began to fly away with her hesitantly following along, after popping out her ki wings.


As they flew, Vegeta would look behind him every now and then in the corner of his eyes, to see if she was keeping up. She was indeed keeping up, with her blue marbles glued to his form. At times though, she would watch birds fly with her and would stare at her in curiosity. She'd blink at them, scanning her eyes over their features and taking note of the small feathers they had. They are a lot smaller in form, compared to Chisivans on my home planet.~ She thought, not really noticing Vegeta had stopped. She collided into his back and rushed back quickly, with a stuttering apology. He ignored her though and just flew down, so she descended too and saw that it was a barren wasteland all around them.


"You can train here... I'll go over there..." He spoke and pointed to his destination, whilst gazing at her from afar. Seeing her nod shyly, he flew off to his preferred location and started to train.


Akasma looked around, spotting several giant cliffs and vertical mountains. Taking her bow back out, she did as before and strung her string back. Making blue beads form an arrow in her grasp, she focused on the furthest structure and charged the ki arrow. More... she mentally spoke, making more beads fill the arrow. More... she repeated, waiting for the right amount of energy to get filled in. The moment she deemed it ready, she released it and the arrow covered the entire huge rock in ice. Perfect... Relief could be heard in her monologue while squinting her only visible eye slightly in glee. Ok...now... She continued then shut her eyes and composed herself by standing straight. I must practice my father's, Starburst, technique... Adding to her thoughts, she rose her head up at the sky then clenched her fists and narrowed her eyes before squatting and vanishing in thin air.


She appeared high in the sky, purposefully making herself fall and shift in mid-air to a different position. She spun upside down blindingly after pulling back a yellow arrow, then made millions upon millions of those arrows shoot in all directions around her. It was simultaneous, many arrows in all directions shot from her form. It looked like a yellow star shining from afar. Every time they would hit something in their paths, electricity would disperse and make the surrounding land look like an electrical field. After a moment of shooting her attack, she stopped her barrage of arrows and began to slow down in her upside-down spin. Her legs would separate, appearing like a split and she'd hover there for a moment before descending, accepting the gravity until she got close to the surface.


Correcting her position, she shifted her body and landed in a squatting stance. She rose to her feet with her head looking around and took note of the charred land she fried with her arrows. Being thankful that no one was around at the time, to get hit by her aerial attack. Vegeta had stopped in mid of his training and ended up watching her from the distance, he was rather shocked, to say the least. Seeing her spit out so many arrows with a single bow, made him wonder how fast she can really wield one.


Hours had passed and they were already heading back to Bulma's house, soaring through the sun-setting sky and pure silence filling the atmosphere. It felt awkward but he didn't mind the quietness between them. He kept his eyes forward and right behind him was the Aeronan following suit. Once they made it to Bulma's house, they landed softly and she ran past him to get inside with a small, Thank you, coming from her. She disappeared, leaving behind whipping wind and the spiky-haired man. He just grumbled at her, Whistling Wind, technique, that Whis called it and carried on into the house next.


She appeared just in front of a staircase and was about to scale it until she heard Bulma's voice. "Oh, there you are Akasma! Whis and Beerus decided to stop by to say hello to you; they're waiting in the kitchen! Whis said that he needed you, so if I were you, I wouldn't keep neither him nor Lord Beerus waiting," She mentioned and had the silver-skinned woman freeze in midst of her step. The Aeronan gradually peeked over her shoulder, now gazing upon the other woman, and shyly nodded with a flush on her cheeks, before making her way into the kitchen.


"Here she is, guys! What was it you needed her for?" She asked with a tilt of her head. Akasma saw how Whis was carelessly eating some sort of cold and fluffy stuff with a spoon, it grabbed her attention and made her grow curious.


"Well, I simply wanted to ask if she would like to visit us!~ Lord Beerus sure didn't seem to mind the idea, so we decided to come and ask. After all, we still need some answers!~" Whis replied cheerfully, then moved his eyes to meet big blue ones. After he noticed she wasn't looking at him, he frowned and questioned what she was staring at. Following her marbles, he saw that she was eyeing his delicacy. "Do you want some, Akasma?~" He asked before leaning in slightly, with an offer of some of that white fluffy stuff on his spoon. She jerked her head up and stepped back, then he stepped forward. Another step back and he took another step forward, this continued on until her back hit a wall. She kept waving her hands in front of her in defense while shaking her head from side to side. A major tint of red, painted her cheeks while she stared up at the tall man. "Oh, come now, haven't you ever had this? It's called, Ice Cream! It's incredibly delicious, you must try it!~" he offered one last time and decided to wait for her reply.


W-Why is he so persistent...? I say no and he insists anyway! She exclaimed in her head, then slowly rolled her only visible eye down to view the offered spoon. She could feel her heart racing while eyeing the spoonful of ice cream that was mere inches from her face. It does...look good... she admitted in her mind with her eyes twinkling from eagerness and sparkles emitted around the spoon, making a dramatic effect. She shut her gaze, nodded, and refused to look up at the man.


"Wonderful!~" He waited for her to pull her mask down, once she did though, he allowed her to take it and put it in her mouth. It was as if time had stopped when she felt the coldness, the sweetness, the flavor, and softness of the ice cream. She was in heaven...her eyes wavered in delight then shut them and emitted an adorable sound from her closed lips. "See?! Didn't I say it was delicious?!" Sheer joy could be heard in his voice and he giggled at her reaction.


That was so tasty... So creamy...soft...cold and...sweet... I wish I could have more... she mentally mumbled, pouting at the thought of only being able to have a taste. She handed the spoon back and averted her eyes once more.


"Now, there's more where that came from if you are willing to come with us!~ Having you visit us, would be a nice change in the atmosphere! I really want to know more about your kind! It's not every day, that something new appears... It gets quite boring, you know?" He spoke with excitement and Beerus rose to his feet, pacing over to the Aeronan. He watched her, waiting to hear her small and quiet voice.


"Ok..." She managed to say with her eyes peering down at her feet.


"Come on, I want to hurry up so I can take a small nap..." The purple cat stated and had Whis nod to his words.


"Alright, Lord Beerus..." He walked over a bit closer to Akasma with a slight smile forming on his features. He materialized his staff out of thin air, rose it an inch above the floor, and held it there. "No need to worry, I will bring you back in a couple of days. I have already transported your belongings to Lord Beerus's world while you were away. Now, grab on to my arm and hold on tight.~" He rose his arm, gesturing for her to take it. She did of course and it wasn't long until they took off.


Bulma stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly at the now empty space. "Why couldn't they just ask her here...and why would they want her to visit so suddenly?" She questioned and knitted her brows together, getting concerned for Akasma.
