Angry Bulma

Kalan bid goodbye to his good sparring friends and teleported back to Earth.

In Grand Kai's residence

"Finally, he's gone! I'm free again!" Grand Kai left his house, dressed like a hipster, he wore a white shirt, denim jacket, jeans and sunglasses. He walked out with a boombox playing rock music.

"Oh, it's Grand Kai-sama!"

"I haven't seen Grand Kai-sama ever since Kalan studied under him."

"Grand Kai-sama have worked hard."

Many fighters believed Grand Kai had not appeared outside due to him being busy teaching Kalan. Now that Kalan had left, Grand Kai was once again free and had time to appear outside. Little did they know, Grand Kai had simply been hiding away from Kalan, and did not dare to appear outside while Kalan stayed on his planet.

...

Kalan appeared on Kami's Lookout.

"Kalan, it's been awhile." Kami greeted.

"Kami, how are you doing?" Kalan asked politely.

"I'm fine. All same as always. I remember you being just a child when you first came here. But now, you're already all grown up." Kami sighed.

"Yes, It's been quite a few years..." Kalan reminisced the time he first came here, he was just 4 years old at that time.

"I've grown old, even older now... Kalan, you're the perfect successor I'm looking for." Kami looked deep into Kalan's eyes, like he could see through everything of him.

"Kami, I don't have a pure heart, you should look for someone else." Kalan said with a wry smile.

Kami simply stared at Kami without saying a word.

"I'm sure you'll find a good successor soon." Kalan said and hurriedly left.

"The mortal world has tainted the pure heart you had as a child..." Kami stayed silent for a long while. He muttered to himself after Kalan had left. When Kalan was still a child, he had not seen the cruel reality, even in his past life, he had lived a simple a honest life. He died as a young teenager, lucky to be reborn as a Saiyan. But after experiencing so much, his heart had slowly changed. It did not turn evil, but it was no longer pure. In the past, he would not kill others, even if they were a criminal or murderer, but now he would.

...

"I feel like I forgot something..." Kalan muttered as he flew to the Martial Arts Temple. He had planned to return a bit earlier to Earth, but still ended up just coming back now. The WMA was going to start soon.

"I bet Vegeta would have the impulse to kill himself if he knew just how nice a place the Other World is..." Kalan muttered. Staying in the Other World was too addicting for a battle crazed Saiyan like him. Goku didn't lose out at all by sacrificing his life to Cell, he got so much out of it in the Other World. There was just so many opponents to fight, while Vegeta had simply trained and trained alone in the gravity chamber for 7 years until the Buu Saga.

Kalan still had a bit of time before the registration deadline, so he flew his way to the Martial Arts Temple.

"Hi, please help me register." Kalan said to the staff responsible for registering the participants.

"Oh! It's Kalan. It seems you'll soon be crowned as the three times champion." The staff said, it seems he believed Kalan would win the WMA again.

A few bystanders started shouting Kalan's name. Many recognized him now, his dojo was getting more popular and his fame as a two times champion fanned his name.

*Slap* Suddenly someone slapped Kalan's face. He didn't expect that to happen, the reason he couldn't react to it was due to him not sense any ill intent toward him. But since he wasn't in combat, he wouldn't tense his nerves and look out for every single detail in his surroundings. Since he was relaxed, unless someone attacks him with ill intent, he would not react at all.

Turning around, Kalan saw an angry Bulma looking at Kalan as if she wanted to eat him up.

"Where the hell have you been!?" Bulma yelled angrily, she raised her hand to slap Kalan again.

*SLAP* This time Bulma slapped much harder.

"OUCH!! Owie, ow!" Bulma had tears in her eyes as she cried out in pain. Her hand was swollen red from slapping so hard on Kalan's face.

"I guess that's from enhanced physique?" Kalan thought, he remembered the Ancient Saiyan bloodline had enhanced his physique.

"I'm sorry, Bulma. Are you alright?" Kalan rubbed Bulma's swollen hand and healed it.

"Hmph, you missed my birthday twice! You hear me? Twice! You're my boyfriend! I never got to see you for. Two! Whole! Years!" Bulma yelled angrily, she stared at Kalan sternly with her hands akimbo.

"Birthday? I forgot that existed... I've never had my birthday celebrated..." Kalan was dumbfounded. He had forgotten about birthdays, Saiyans never cared about such celebrations. In fact, they only recorded the year you were born and not the full date. After birth, they simply threw the Saiyan babies into their respective incubator chamber and let them stay inside it for 3 years before letting them out.

I'll let it slide this time..." Bulma looked at Kalan with sympathy. She had learned for Goku that he was adopted by Grandpa Gohan. Kalan had also said the two of them were the only ones with tails on Earth. She drew the conclusion that both of them were orphans upon hearing Kalan say he had never celebrated his birthday.

"But don't forget to celebrate my birthday, it's on 18th August." Bulma said. The WMA was always on the 7th May, there was still a few months until her birthday. Last time she met Kalan was over two years ago, they had traveled around together for a few months before she returned home to attend school. So the two had not had time to celebrate their birthdays during their travel.

Kalan made up with Bulma and noticed Master Roshi, Krillin, Yamcha, Blond Lunch, Puar and Oolong behind her. Nam had never been interested in fighting, so it was normal for him not to come with Yamcha.

"Hey guys, long time no see!" Kalan greeted everyone.
