Kassava snarled again, angrily squirming under the arms that held her back while Demi-Fiend walked away. Vegetto's eyes narrowed, rapidly powering up to Blue to hold a strong enough grip.
"Kass, enough!"
Kassava shot her left elbow back, the blow striking nothing but air once Vegetto tilted his head out of the way while she nearly shouted.
"Why do you care?! It shouldn't bother you if you're not the one being humiliated, you selfish asshole!"
Vegetto grunted, releasing his grip on Kassava's waist as she snapped out of his hold, knowing he couldn't hold her back anymore. She took a few steps forward, angrily glaring at the ground away from Vegetto, who stood with his arms at his side. His blue eyes remained locked on her for a moment, the pair standing in silence. His stern scowl barely budged, yet his dual voice came out flat in emotion.
"Can we talk about things now?"
Kassava snorted.
"No. Leave me alone."
Vegetto sighed lightly, placing his hands on his hips.
"I wasn't going to leave you forever, Kass."
Kassava's glare intensified, her eyebrows twitching slightly while Vegetto's tone raised slightly in agitation.
"And you know that too. So I don't get why you're so angry."
Kassava kept her glare away, her tone lowering but still clearly agitated.
"You still left me."
Vegetto nodded curtly.
"And now, you're stronger because of it."
Kassava snorted in response, Vegetto's tone lightening.
"Just look at you: you only trained with Whis for a day, and even without sleep, you were putting out energy I couldn't imagine you doing while I held you back."
Kassava's eyes widened in annoyance, spinning around and preparing to scream at his lack of empathy. However, she stopped in her tracks once she finally turned to face towards Vegetto, the sight of Whis' leaning towards Vegetto with a warm smile throwing her rage off.
"She even managed to tap into Ultra Instinct a little yesterday. She's doing very well."
Kassava blinked, the rage completely leaving her expression while she stared back blankly at the two, Vegetto holding a confident smirk and Whis with his signature warm smile.
Whis isn't embarrassed by me....
Vegetto turned his head slightly, raising an eyebrow at Whis in fake surprise.
"Really? That quickly, huh?"
Whis nodded once.
"She's a natural."
Vegetto nodded once, turning his head out of Kassava's line of sight towards Whis and winking once with his left eye, his voice in a low whisper.
"Thanks, Whis."
Whis only nodded once in reply, watching Vegetto walk up to Kassava before continuing.
"We should be leaving now. The others might need our help with the doppelganger at the apartment."
Vegetto glanced back for a moment, nodding as well before facing towards Kassava again, flashing his teeth in a wide smile.
"Feeling better...hun?"
"You're not off the hook."
Vegetto's smile instantly vanished, watching Kassava fold her arms across her chest with a small smirk of her own.
"You owe everyone else dinner tonight, but you'd better setup a wonderful feast for me tonight. Candles, rose petals...oh!"
She leaned forward slightly, lightly flicking his blue gi with a scowl.
"And you don't get to wear your favorite slob clothes tonight either. You'd better put on a nice suit while you catering to my every need, understand?"
Vegetto blinked a couple of times with wide eyes, watching on as Kassava turned on her heel and walked towards the apartment complex with a satisfied smirk and her chin held high. Still stunned, Vegetto's eyes barely turned as Whis moved past him, smiling warmly as well when he spoke.
"Oh, I did forget to mention, she did well in her training for sure. But around halfway through the night, I had to motivate her with the thought of how you'd make it up to her if she obtained Ultra Instinct."
Whis covered his mouth as he stifled a small chuckle, walking towards the apartment complex.
"I do hope you treat her well, Vegetto. But more importantly, I can't wait to see the delicious assortment of food you cook up for everyone tonight!"
Vegetto's eyebrows twitched heavily in annoyance, clenching his fists together and growling angrily for a few minutes before he followed after the two towards the complex with a heavy scowl.
===========================
The expressions of the three earlier completely changed, a little taken aback from the sight of Bernkastel's planned torture of Maggie Fiend. Whis covered his mouth once more, his tone light as he stood next to Vegetto, who stared down with wide eyes.
"Oh my."
Kassava, however, instantly rushed up to the three with her fists raised, an evil grin plastered on her face while she glared down at Maggie-Fiend.
