At my words, I saw that her eyes widened a bit, clearly taken aback.
"Why?" She asked after a moment of silence, her guard still up despite having been told that I was the one who brought her back.
Wow. Rude.
Although, to be honest, not at all unexpected.
"Out of the goodness of my heart?" I said, though my tone made it seem that it was more of a question than an answer.
Her eyes narrowed at me even more, apparently not believing me, and she slowly shifted her body into a simple fighting stance.
I thought Kais were supposed to be polite?
Then again, my entire existence in this universe is based off one that wanted to personally end all mortal life in all the universes, so maybe I shouldn't be so quick to rely on stereotypes...
"I want you to be my teacher." I told her as I crossed my arms.
Might as well cut the bullshit at this point. She doesn't seem to be in a very accommodating mood at the moment.
Still, it doesn't mean I'm scared of her. She's vastly stronger than me whilst I'm still in my base form, sure, but transforming into my Super Saiyan form will drastically put me over her in terms of power.
Still, appearances and all that.
I can't exactly have my future teacher/sparring partner think they are partnering up with someone who's hot-headed and rushes into everything now can I?
"Teacher? Why?" She asked, pressing even further. "How do you even know of me?"
"How I know you is unimportant." I told her, waving my hand dismissively. "But as for the why, it's just a simple case of quid pro quo."
"What?" She asked with a confused expression.
"Something for something." I groaned, forgetting that Latin wasn't a space language for some reason. "You do something for me, I do something for you. I did just bring you back after all."
"And I'm grateful, but I have duties. Responsibilities. If you know of me, then you should already know that." She tells me.
"Yes, yes, the busy inner workings of a Kai." I said with a roll of my eyes, causing her to narrow her eyes at me once more. "You are no longer needed in the grand scheme of things. Your fellow Kai has already grown used to your absence."
"Fellow Kai?" She mutters before looking at me with some sort of realization. "Are you talking about Daikaioh?"
"No." I replied with a shake of my head. "Your Grand Supreme Kai, along with the South Supreme Kai, had both been absorbed in their confrontation with Majin Buu."
"Then, the Kai you speak of is--"
"Shin." I answered, cutting her off. "The Supreme Kai of the East."
She gripped the side of her head, all this information I'm telling her must be hitting her like a ton of bricks.
"Shin...?" She muttered, almost in disbelief. "He was the one who destroyed Majin Buu...?"
"Not at all." I tell her bluntly. "After absorbing the Grand Supreme Kai, Buu was going to be sent towards another planet to continue on his rampage, but Bibidi had been killed shortly after sending Buu away. As you know, every time Buu was sent to a planet, Bibidi sealed him inside some sort of cocoon and then reawakened Buu once he had arrived. Since Bibidi was dead, Buu was, and still is sealed inside his cocoon."
She let my words wash over her for a moment, silently taking it all in before asking, with a certain edge to her tone, "Then... where is this cocoon?"
I raise an eyebrow at her question and take pause. It wasn't her actual question that I had an issue with, but with the tone in which she asked it in.
I know very well what that tone of hers means. Anyone who has watched any sort of anime or show knows that damned tone, and it's the tone of someone who is thinking of, going to do, or about to do something very, very stupid.
"I don't know." I lied immediately.
"You don't know?" She asked, her voice shifting to one of disbelief.
"Is that so hard to believe? These events took place millions of years ago." I said to her.
Although I was lying, I also technically wasn't lying. I know that Buu's cocoon was somewhere on Earth, I just have no idea where the cocoon was actually was.
Sure, I could ask Shenron or Porunga where it is, but I'm not going to. Going after the cocoon now would disrupt what I have planned for Buu. Not to mention what would happen if Babidi was left alive to go do whatever he wished.
I'd rather just have the assurance of wiping him from the face of the universe personally, along with his lackeys.
"You're saying that you know all that, but you don't know the location of the cocoon? And yet you somehow know everything about me, my fellow Kais, and Majin Buu." She retorts.
She had a fair point.
A man mysteriously revives her out of nowhere and just starts blabbering on about events that he shouldn't know, only to conveniently not know the one piece of information you want?
I wouldn't believe that either.
Which is not good for me right now, since I'm apparently dealing with one of the only Dragon Ball characters who actually have a brain between their ears.
"Maybe I know it's location, maybe I don't." I reply with a dismissive shrug. "But one thing's for certain, I'm not gonna let you go off and get killed over a million year old vendetta."
"You're telling me where it is." She says, suddenly glaring at me and getting into a stance that seems to indicate she's ready for a fight. "Even if I have to force you to tell me."
Her power erupts and I only raise a curious eyebrow.
She's pretty strong.
Stronger than I thought she would be. Obviously, she's stronger than me. Monstrously so. I probably would've been shaking in my boots eight years ago.
"Surrender. I take no enjoyment in hurting the precious creations of the Kais." She said.
But this wasn't eight years ago.
"You've overestimate yourself, Miss Kaioshin." I told her, my mouth turning to a smirk as I walk towards her, stopping when there's only about ten feet between us.
"What?" She asks, her brows furrowing at me.
Instead of telling her, I decide to go ahead and give her a demonstration.
"HRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
I release my dark colored energy from my body, which causes her eyes to widen. The wind starts picking up, the clouds above me circling as though they were forming a hurricane.
"Your... How is your...?"
Before she could utter another syllable, my aura shifts from dark purple to bright gold, dark clouds form in the skies above as yellow lightning continuously strikes down on the ground.
The waters of Namek turn rough, even more so than when Porunga was summoned.
The West Supreme Kai's eyes widen even further, her face quickly shifting from confidence to what looked to be both awe and absolute horror.
"HRRRRAAAAAA-- RAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
My aura erupts towards the sky, causing more and more lightning to come crashing down.
My hair turned upward, the signature golden color of Super Saiyan encasing both my hair and aura.
The wind that was caused by my transformation alone caused the West Supreme Kai to stagger backward.
"Y-You... What are you...?" She asks, her voice soft and hushed, her body shaking slightly with fear.
I suddenly disappear from her line of sight and reappear right in front of her, holding two fingers underneath her chin. I tilt her head up to look at me, smirking confidently at her as I did so.
"Your student, obviously."
