Disclaimer; I obviously don't own Dragonball Z, because if I owned it
this wouldn't be a fanfiction it would be on TV now wouldn't it.
Author's note; This is not The First FanFic I have written, but it is
the first I've posted so please don't be too mean. And for those
critical people out there (You know who you are); no I did not write
my original character and then replace my name with hers, as that
seems to be the largest complaint I've heard with original Character
romances. And for those of you who are reading for the rating then
you'll have to wait, cause that comes later. This is a
character/relationship fic so there won't be too much action either.
With that said please r/r, cause I won't post anymore unless I know
whether you people like it or not...
Now on with the fic...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This was the last of the city that he had left to check after the most recent android
attack. It had taken him days to look over the whole city to check for survivors, and every time
he found one they were too far-gone to save. Then something began to pull at the edge of his
mind, he paused mid-flight and tried to focus on it. There at the edge of the city, someone was
still alive and in a lot of pain. He headed in that direction wondering if he would again get
there just in time to comfort them as they passed from this world. Again he cursed the day the
androids were brought to life, not that living was actually the word for their existence. He
stopped.
He looked down. There, below him was a person. As he began to get closer he could tell
it was a young woman, curled up in a fetal position with her back against the wall. He landed
next to her and felt her ki, it was strong. He knew if she was injured it wasn't anywhere near
fatal. "Are you ok?" He asked. When she didn't answer he moved to shake her shoulder. "Ms.?"
The instant he touched her skin, he wailed in pain. For a second that seemed like an
eternity he couldn't breath, couldn't feel anything outside the pain. It was like something
entered into his very soul and was ripping it to shreds from the inside out.
Then as quickly as it came it passed as though the source of it was pulled from him and
he was left gasping for breath. She leaned over him from where he had fallen back. "Are you
ok?" she asked, her hand hovering over his shoulder as though she wanted to touch him and
comfort him.
"What...?" he managed between gasps, "What happened?"
"Who are you?" she asked.
"Gohan. What did you do to me?"
"How did you get here, through the androids?"
"Do you always answer a question with a question?" He asked glancing up at her and
seeing startlingly amethyst eyes.
"When I don't trust whoever's asking the questions." She replied.
"I won't hurt you." He said.
"Words aren't always truth."
"If I was here to hurt you I would already have done it. There's nobody else around
to help you. I've been searching for days and so far you're the only one who looks like you're
going to survive after what the androids did." He tried to convince her.
"What about you? How did you survive?" She asked suspiciously.
"I've been following them trying to fight them, but I was too late." He whispered,
eyes downcast.
She scoffed. "Nobody fights the androids. Everybody's too scared."
"I'm not like everybody else."
She raised her eyebrows slightly at the remark.
"You look like you could use something to eat and some new clothes." He said taking in
her appearance. Her shirt was ripped to the point where it didn't even really look like a
shirt, her skin was slightly pale and she was skinny. His mother would love to fix her up
and have the opportunity for some company, if only for a little while. "My mom's probably
almost done cooking, and you look like you might fit into her clothes." He looked into her eyes
trying to figure out what she was going to say.
"How do I know I can trust you?" She asked still looking weary.
"You don't. But there aren't many other places you can go. Over half the city's been
destroyed and as far as I can tell you and I are the only living people around."
She still didn't trust him but saw his point. "Alright. But try anything funny and
I'll do what I did earlier and it'll be worse."
"I'm a man of honor." He said.
He began to walk towards her and she backed up, "What do you think you're doing?"
He looked at her like she was a little crazy. "I can't carry you unless I pick you up."
"I've got two legs and they work just fine, I don't need you to carry me."
He shook his head and sighed. "We're not walking. We're flying."
It was her turn to look at him like he was crazy. Then it turned to suspicion. "Only
the androids fly."
"Hey! I am not an android." He cried crossing his arms. "If I was don't you think I
would have killed you by now?" She was about to reply when they heard some crashing sounds in
the distance. "That would be the androids." He said flatly. "I'll get you out of here but only
if you let me."
She looked at him then nodded, but held her hand out to stop him when he began walking
to pick her up. "You can't touch my skin." He raised an eyebrow at that. "If you do what
happened the first time you touched me will happen again." She said curtly.
He looked around for something he could use to cover her, all the while hearing the
androids getting closer. He growled in frustration when he found nothing, then just finally
decided to take the top layer of his shirt off. He wrapped it around her in all the right
places, picked her up and took off, careful to stay low so the androids wouldn't see him.
After about fifteen minutes of evading the androids he reached the edge of the city
and shot off as fast as he could go, hoping that the androids wouldn't see him without
the cover of the buildings. When he could no longer hear the sounds of buildings being
demolished he stopped and turned to see if he was being followed all he saw was the
flashes of light as the androids blasted everything, again he shook his head and continued
flying away from the ruined city.
"You think they're going to follow us?" she asked.
He kept his eyes straight in front of him as he answered. "If they haven't noticed
us by now then I doubt it."
She looked over his shoulder back at the city a little uncertain; there wasn't
anything she could do about it now...
"You never did tell me your name..."
"You're right I didn't." She replied just a little coldly.
He looked down at her. "I'm only trying to be nice."
"The last time someone said that to me I ended up the way you found me." She replied,
her eyes downcast.
He was about to question what had happened to her but saw his house come into view.
"We're here." He announced descending to the ground. He set her down on her feet and called
for his mother, within moments a small woman with black hair and dark eyes walked out of the
house, her hands on her hips.
