Cold As Fire

Thanks for choosing this story as the story you will read. That made no sense what so ever. Anyway, this is my first K&18 fanfic and I really hope it doesn't suck.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Not even my house. It's my parents' house haha! Okay um yeah that was stupid.

I know this is an extremely popular topic (K&18 get-together) so if I stole anyone's ideas, please tell me. Shutting up now.

Chapter 1: Confused on Both Sides

"What are you doing?" she asked him. 17 looked up from his hatchet. He saw his twin sister staring at him in disgust, "Playing with your little knife?"

He dropped his hatchet and walked toward her, "Why do you always care about what I'm doing all the time?" 17 turned around, waiting for a reply.

18 sighed, "I'm worried about you, 17. Here I found you in the middle of a forest living in a cabin with no windows or electricity, and there's not another person around for miles. Doesn't that bother you?" 17 thought about it. He knew all along about his separation with the human race.

"I hate humans. Why would I want to be around them? I'm perfectly fine here. It's…fun." There was a long pause. Then 18 spoke up.

"What's wrong with humans?" she said.

"Oh shut up, 18. You know you hate humans as much as I do. You're just saying that cuz you're in love with that midget friend of Goku's." This got 18 mad.

"I told you at least 10 times, I am not in love with him! He loves me, and that I know because his friends told me, and he kind of pointed it out too, but that doesn't mean I have to love him! Why do you keep thinking that he's so special to me?" 'Cuz he is.' 18 answered her question in her mind, but 17 dropped the subject.

"Anyway, did you get the groceries?" 17 asked.

18 was a little infuriated that 17 didn't answer her, "Do I look like I have groceries?"

17 rolled his eyes. "I can't depend on you for anything, can I?" he said, and took off.

"Well, I guess I'll watch TV until he gets back…" she told herself as she went inside the cabin. 'Why do I keep thinking of him? I can't have feelings for him…I'm an android. It just can't happen!' she sat down on the tattered sofa, trying to figure her thoughts out. 'Maybe…I should go talk to him…' she thought, 'Where could he be though…?'

-------------------------------------

"Wait a second!" Yamcha called to Krillin.

"What now?!" Krillin yelled.

"Can't I power up first?" the older fighter asked.

"Would any opponent let you power up?"

"No…"

"Then I won't either."

The two fighters continued sparring, a normal day routine. Master Roshi came out of the Kame House.

"I'm leaving. Gotta go pick up my Playboy magazines!"

Both Yamcha and Krillin rolled their eyes. Then Yamcha spoke up. "Oh, I forgot to tell you that Gohan might be coming here to help us train. Him being the strongest fighter on the planet might actually help."

"Chi-chi's actually letting him? I wonder if Goku's death is starting to get to her head a little bit." Krillin joked. Yamcha laughed.

"What's so funny?"

Krillin and Yamcha turned around to find an 11-year-old saiyan/human hybrid looking back at them.

"Hey Gohan." They said in unison.

"My mom said I can train with you guys. Isn't that weird?" Gohan joked.

"We were just talking about that," Yamcha explained. Krillin nodded.

"Oh, one more thing! I was flying around one day and guess who I saw!" Gohan exclaimed.

They both shrugged their shoulders.

"Android 17! He was in a forest holding a hatchet! Ain't that funny?" Gohan smiled.

"What? He's like a lumberjack now? Why not train or fight?" Yamcha asked.

"I don't think he has to train. He's an android, remember?" Krillin said.

"Was he alone?" Yamcha asked Gohan, while making a quick glance over at Krillin. Gohan shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know. I didn't hang around too long in case he spotted me," the saiyan answered, "he was talking though, but he might have been talking to himself. I noticed him when he started saying, 'I hate humans. Why would I want to be around them? I'm perfectly fine here. It's…fun.' Now that I think about it, he might have been talking to 18, but I didn't see her. Before I could look for her I decided to leave."

"So you didn't see her?" Krillin asked.

"Nope, sorry Krillin," Gohan answered.

"Hey aren't we supposed to be training?" Yamcha asked.

"For what?" Gohan and Krillin said in unison.

Yamcha turned toward Gohan, "Well isn't that why your mom let you come over here? Or was it just to tell us your news about 17?"

"Nah, I just came to hang out with you guys. Can you believe it's already been a year since I killed Cell?"

'A year,' Krillin thought, 'it's been a year since I saw her…I wouldn't be surprised if 18 is living with her brother. He's all she has. She's probably trying to avoid me. That wouldn't be surprising either. What would she want with me? Other than asking me why I did all that stuff to save her. She probably doesn't understand why…'

"Hello? Earth to Krillin!" Gohan called. Krillin snapped out of his trance.

"Sorry guys. I've had a lot on my mind for a while."

"Thinking about 18, huh? I know you are, Krillin. Don't even start to deny it." Yamcha smirked, "remember, if you ever need any help on girls, I know everything!"

"Then how come Bulma dumped you for…Vegeta?" Gohan teased. Krillin snickered.

"That was then! This is now!"

"You still don't have a girlfriend, Yamcha." Krillin pointed out.

"Well neither do the two of you, so there!" The three friends went on talking and laughing.

'I at least hope she's okay,' Krillin thought.

--------------------------------------

17 came back to the cabin with four bags of groceries in his hands, "18! I'm back!" his voice echoing through the house. No one answered. "18! …Are you even here?! …Look, I'm sorry about the joke I made about you and Krillin! I believe you!" There was still silence. 17 went up to her room and she wasn't there. But he did find a small note on her bed. 17 picked up the small paper and read it:

17,

I'm going out for a while. Don't make any dinner until I come back. If you stick me with leftovers again, you're dead. And don't go through my stuff. I know you always do that when I'm gone. So if you don't want to die at the hands of your big sister, don't make me eat leftovers and don't search through my drawers or anything.

Sincerely,

18

'I don't go through her stuff!' 17 argued. He shot the note in her trashcan and left the room. 'She's probably going over to Krillin's house or something. Well then, should I starve to death or let her kill me for not starving to death?' He wondered.

-------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, 18 stood in the air a few miles from 17's cabin. She tried to think of where Krillin could be. Then she remembered. "That one pink house 16, 17, and I went to when we were looking for Goku. That has to be where he lives. If it's not, then forget it. I'm not asking any of his friends." She flew towards the Kame House.
