Silver

Chapter 1

A girl with the longest silver hair ever seen stood a top the trees of the Amazon and stared down at the few strangers treading on her ground. She had the dodger blue eyes of a cat, but she had the body of a light skinned human. Four black lines scarred her cheeks, like stripes of a tiger. Two on each side. Her nose crinkled as she looked down at the unwanted strangers. She loosened her grip on the tree tops and dived head force towards the forest ground.

"Are you sure we're gonna find a Dragonball in this place?" Young Gohan looked around the large Amazon jungle.
"That's what the Dragonball radar says," Future Trunks replied looking at the round bleeping machine in his hand.
"Can we hurry-up already?" Vegeta snapped, "Those spider monkeys are mocking me!"
"Oh, c'mon Vegeta, lighten up," Goku said with his arms folded behind his head.
Suddenly a shining figure landed before them, and before anyone knew what was happening Trunks had an arrowhead to his throat.
They four Z-fighters froze and looked at their attacker. They were surprised to find it was a girl. She scowled at them with her unreal eyes making the black stripes under her eyes crinkle up.
"Look at her hair," Gohan whispered to Trunks.
"I'm more focused on the weapon she's about to stab in my neck," Trunks said beginning to sweat.
"Why have you come here?" The Amazon girl with the long silver hair asked in a voice that sounded like the soft growl of a lion.
"We've come to get a Dragonball that landed here," Goku replied simply.
"A Dragonball?" The girl looked at him.
The Z-fighters noticed the black battle scars that ran down her arms and figured she was probably the one protecting the Dragonball.
"I've never heard of it," She let Trunks go, "go home."
"We know it's here," Vegeta snapped, "now get out of our way so that we can find it."
"I will not allow outsiders near my family!" The girl stood in front of them with her arms wide open so that they could not pass her, "Not again! You've cursed us once, but no more!"
"What'dya think she's talking about?" Trunks whispered to Gohan.
Gohan shrugged and hummed a 'I dunno.'
Vegeta sighed irritated and pushed the girl out of the way, then began going on ahead. The others were about to follow, but the girl wouldn't put up with it. She growled and jump kicked Vegeta in the back of the neck. She flipped backwards and landed on all fours when Vegeta didn't budge.
"Was that SUPPOSED to hurt?" Vegeta raised one brow turning his head to her.
The girl roared as she pulled out several knives from her white toga-like top and started to throw them at Vegeta. All too well he blocked a good portion of them, but two escaped and pinned him to a tree by his black shirt and black leather pants.
The girl smiled proud of herself and ran at Vegeta, instead of the expected punch or kick or fight even she jumped over his head, ran up the tree trunk and disappeared into the treetops.
Once she was gone the remaining Z-fighters ran and helped Vegeta off the tree, though it wasn't necsesary.
"Now we know the Dragonball is here," Vegeta dusted off his black shirt.
"I dunno Vegeta," Goku pulled his 'Gokou' hat backwards, "she seemed more worried about her family."
"Didn't you say you felt your Grandpa's spirit was in the four star ball dad?" Gohan looked up at Goku, "Maybe it's something like that for her."
Goku shrugged, "Maybe."
"Well, if we come across her again," Trunks fixed his blue balario, "I'm not going to be the one getting stabbed in the neck, got it?"

"I have failed you," The silver-haired girl in the toga like outfit and the white baggy pants cried holding the one star dragonball, "I'm sorry, they will come, and then you'll be like me. You won't belong anymore."
A soft growl was heard and the girl looked up and turned around. The growl was still heard as the girl dropped the dragonball and pulled out a knife as she stood up.
"Four of them you say?" the girl closed her blue eyes and listened, then opened her eyes in rage, "IT'S THEM!"
The girl was about to charge, but was stopped by the humming growl.
The four Z-fighters that had face the silver haired girl turned a corner and came across the new foe they just fought.
Gohan gasped wide-eyed, as all the rest stared in awe.
"Look at the tigers!" Gohan pointed at the two huge (very huge) tigers with the silkiest of coats standing behind the silver-haired girl.
"Leave my family alone," the girl growled in a tone that sounded much like the tigers that stood behind her.
"Family?" Trunks muttered.
Goku shoke his hands as if to stop any kind of fight after he noticed the dragonball on the floor, "We haven't some to hurt anybody, we just want that."
He pointed at the dragonball and the girl looked down at it then glowered at Goku, "No! It's not yours too have! The last time a being took this from us I was cursed into this...this...disgusting skin! No! I won't have you curse my parents as well!"
"What do you mean?' Gohan tilted his head innocently after pulling the hem of his yellow button down shirt.
"Don't act stupid!" The girl snapped then looked at the tigers as if to ask them something. She turned back to the strangers and stood proudly, "I am the Silver Tiger, the rariest of all tigers, I was the most gorgeous of all tigers, I was their goddess, their prietess, their angel, their everything.
"Then one day several beings like you looking for the Dragonballs, like you, came and a large dragon appeared. They had told me they were going to keep me safe from those who wanted to hunt the silver tiger. They did not however say they were going to turn me human like you nasty beings. Now I'm a freak, not human, nor tiger, I belong no where, and it's all you human's fault. After I was cursed, my family and I were exiled out my klan until I became the beloved silver tiger again. I shall not forgive your kind for what you have done to me!"
"So we see," Trunks replied dully.
The taller of the two tigers stepped up and growled at Trunks. Trunks backed up and looked at the silver haired girl.
"That's my father, he thinks you're getting smart," the silver-haired girl said.
"We promise miss Silver Tiger," Gohan stepped up, "we don't want to hurt you or your family, we have a wish of our own to make."
The second tiger growled and the Silver Tiger translated, "she wants to know what."
"Awhile ago a few of our friends were killed a childhood foe of mine, Pilaf, and we want to bring them back," Goku explained then added dully, "oh yeah, and Vegeta want imortality."
Silver Tiger picked up the golden one star dragonball and then looked back at the strangers, "so they really do grant wishes, how many are there?"
It was then Trunks realized their was more then one bleep on the dragon radar, why hadn't he noticed it before? They were two others in that were right in front of him, but where?
"There's 7 in all, we've already collected four," Goku answered Silver Tiger's question.
"Hmmm..." Silver smirked evilly, "well, what would you say if I were to tell you I have the rest to end your journey?"
"I'd say hand'em over before we kick your butt," Vegeta replied.
"Well, what if I said I'll give'em to you if I get one of those wishes?" Silver Tiger went on slyly.
"We'd say, sorry Vegeta, try again next year," Goku laughed.
"You mean you'd give it to me?" Silver Tiger clapped his hands together.
Goku nodded.
"No we won't!" Vegeta snapped and glowered at Silver Tiger, "why makes you so sure we can't just take them from you."
"Because we didn't come here to fight," Goku pushed Vegeta back, then looked at Silver Tiger, "can we have them now?"
"One moment," Silver Tiger said and went in a huddle with her tiger parents, after what seemed like a long silence, Silver Tiger stood up and faced the four Z-fighters, "My family and I are coming with you."
"What?!" Vegeta snapped, "You can't bring those monstroeus beasts with you!"
The tigers growled at Vegeta.
"BEASTS?! BEASTS!?! YOU BEINGS ARE THE REAL BEASTS HERE!!!" Silver Tiger shouted at Vegeta angrily.
"Okay, that's enouigh," Trunks cut in, "fine, whatever, just give us the dragonballs so that we can go already.
Silver shook her head holding the dragonball close, "no, you may not have it until wishing time."
Trunks' eye twitched, what a brat, "fine."
"Let's go then," Silver Tiger sat on her father's back.
