Baby Blues

Chapter One - Uncovered

The winds whispered silently, tickling his ear as they passed him by. It was beautiful out today, and it was rare that he took these things to mind. He never seemed to care about Nature, but living in it for such an extended amount of time made it hard for him not to love it.

A noise suddenly caused his pointy ears to perk in alarm, curious as to what was making such an annoying cry. It interrupted his concentration as he trained his mind. He despised being kept from his training.

Growling, Piccolo opened his eyes and listened intently to the cries. What ever it was, he had to find it and stop it.

Getting up, the Namek grunted in annoyance. He stretched his muscular green arms, then flew off at a fast pace.

Piccolo landed, the cries becoming louder as he got closer in range. It pierced his fragile Namek ears, making him place his hands over them furiously. Managing to still move around, he searched the nearby bushes for the noise maker.

The Namek squinted his eyes as it the noise grew even louder, and finally managed to burn a few leaves to uncover the creature.

It was a small child, alone and helpless in this dangerous world. The child wailed, kicking his small leg's and thrusting his small tiny fists around. He looked so scared.

Piccolo rolled his eyes, turning around to walk away. He didn't want to deal with a pathetic baby. Someone else would possibly pick the child up and take him away eventually. But, then another thought crossed the Namek's mind. What if he was eaten by Wild Animals before then?

The Baby continued to cry, still kicking his legs in fury. Not even noticing Piccolo's presence.

Piccolo wieghed his options, trying to figure out what he should do. He didn't have time to care for a Baby! And...even if he did, he didn't have the necessary knowledge on how to care for the child. Yet, the bad side still remained. The Baby may die if he didn't try to save it.

He stared at the kid, trying to figure out how long the child had been here. The kid was covered in dirt and moss. It was easy to realize that he'd been there for about a week without incident. It was a miracle he's survived that long.

Knonwing he was going to soon regret it, Piccolo picked the child up in his arms. He growled and rolled his eyes, praying that Goku and others didn't come by while this was going on. If they discovered him rescuing a Baby, that would be painfully embarassing.

The Namek suddenly realized something. The kid had stopped crying. Looking down, he saw the child smiling up at him. That's when it snapped, he couldn't possibly leave such an adorable thing alone. He must have been crazy to even think of abandoning the innocent little thing.

Smiling back at the baby that he cradled in his arms, Piccolo slowly started to fly away. If he couldn't take care of the baby, then he knew someone who could. Bulma...

Sorry So Short...The next one will be longer!
