Little Green Men from Namek

"Piccolo?? PICCOLO GET OVER HERE NOW!!!!" Dende shouted at the top of his lungs. Piccolo was at a nearby tree meditating ignoring ever word to escape Dende's small green mouth. Dende reared back his hand aiming properly then THWAPP!!

"WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR!!!!!!" screamed an angry Piccolo as Dende dropped his hand at his side from smacking piccolo will all his might.

" I needed to get your attention" Dende calmly said.

"Oh was that all?" Piccolo growled caressing the back of his head.

" Listen I need you to do me a favor," Dende said smiling.

"So you hit me?" Piccolo snapped.

"Oh shut up your one of the strongest men on earth, I know it didn't hurt that bad or, maybe I'm just stronger than you?" Dende replied with a crooked smile.

"What do you want?" Piccolo said threw gritted teeth.

" I need you to go to planet Kuro and show the guardians daughter a good time. She hasn't been her normal self lately and, as his old friend, I promised I would try to help him out. You need to go tonight." Dende said seriously.

"Wha… What do you mean ' show her a good time' ?!" Piccolos eyes widened as his statement changed from pissed to terrified while looking for an answer from the small green guardian.

Dende smirked one of the legendary Vegeta smirks and replied " use your head…give her whatever she may want or need". Dende turned and left leaving Piccolo with his mouth hung open and his eyes bulging. Piccolo shut his mouth and watched the small Namek waddle back inside his house.

Piccolo frowned and said "why me?" as he went inside to prepare for his trip.

Dende rummaged through the house hunting for Piccolo. " PICCOLO WHERE ARE YOU??? IF YOU BALED ON ME AT THE LAST SECOND ILL MAKE YOUR LIFE A LIVING HE-" Dende screamed his face turning red.

" I'm right here." Piccolo interrupted coming down from his meditating position.

"Oh right, Well are you ready?" Dende asked not really caring what the answer would be.

" If I said no would you let me stay?" Piccolo said hopefully.

"No" Dende said matter-of-factly.
"Thought so" Piccolo frowned.

"Liven up Piccolo you'll only make her worse if you're in a bad mood. Her name is Taji. She's about 5'6 long black hair with silver streaks long, beautiful legs skinny but fit and the best chest you'll ever see on anything alive." Dende announced starting to daydream and walking into a tree. Piccolo stared at Dende for a moment, shook his head, and walked past him.

"C-ya" Piccolo said unhappily as he flew towards Kuro. 'Why am I doing this? So what, Dende will be mad at me, who cares?' Piccolo thought to himself slowing his pace. 'No need to get there any sooner than I have to' Piccolo frowned. "This is ridiculous why of all people did he have to pick me? I don't deserve this. I mean who is he to tell me what to do and what not to do. No one tells the great Piccolo to go off with some girl and do whatever she wants!! Wait I might get in his good graces if I do….why the hell do I care? He'll make my life a living hell if I don't. I swear I'm going to kill him when I get back home." Piccolo spoke aloud to himself. The atmosphere suddenly got much warmer as he approached a magnificent orange and blue planet.

"Whoa…heaver gravity. Well here goes nothing." Piccolo said zooming towards the ground. Piccolo stood in awe as he looked at the ground. "Green grass? Then why is the planet orange?" Piccolo thought aloud.

"Because there is a cloud of orange gas around our planet." a darkened image appeared from in a nearby tree.

"Who are you?" Piccolo said curious of this new being.

" Your worst nightmare and your deepest, sweetest dream." the hooded figure replied.

" Since I don't dream I take it you're my worst nightmare" Piccolo replied crudely. With a sneer the figure hissed,

"Who are you?"

"None of your business." Piccolo said looking away and walking past the hooded figure who happened to be a slim figured woman.

"You're a Namek aren't you?" she asked.

"Oh good for you what gave it away the green skin or the purple tongue?" Piccolo replied sarcastically. She only rolled her eyes and followed him.

" If your going to be following me you should at lest have the decency to tell me your name" Piccolo said looking back at her.

" That is of no importance." she said matter-of-factly.

" What's yours you can trust me with it" the woman said hopefully.

"Mom always told me not to trust mysterious hooded women that wouldn't tell me their names." Piccolo said.

A little angry she changed the topic, " your strong I can feel it".

"Something like that" Piccolo said looking away from her.

"You know, I've been hunting for someone to teach me how to fight." she said even more hopeful than before.

"No I don't teach anymore" he said not waiting for her to verbally ask the question of him training her. The Figure suddenly punched him as hard as she could in the back causing him to stop dead in his tracks. Piccolo turned around staring at her in awe from her bravery. She kicked at him high on the right shoulder he blocked and followed up with a blow to the stomach. She flinched but ignored the pain and sent a blow to him on the head he easily dodged and yet again followed up with a hard blow to the ribs. Staggering a bit she kicked him once in the stomach he took a few steps back extremely surprised she landed a blow. She took the opportunity to hit him high and kicked him in the face. She fell back on her butt, as did he. " You're a fairly decent fighter." Piccolo grunted as he kicked her in the face, or what he thought to be her face as it was hard to tell from under the hood, she rolled over on him and he rolled back over atop of her. Her hood fell off of her face and Piccolo stood in awe at the beautiful woman.

" Your not so bad a fighter yourself. Oh and thanks for the training" she said mocking him and winking.

"My name is Piccolo." he said surprised at her talent as he rolled off of her and stood up.

"Nice to meet you Piccolo I'm still not going to tell you my name." she smiled at him brightly and stood up brushing herself off.

"Why not?" he said slightly disappointed.

"That is not important" she said.

"Whatever, I have more important things to do here than to play with a little girl." he said rudely.

"Tell me something girl, who is your guardian here?" She perked her ears up and looked at him.

"The gu…guardian here?" she mumbled.

"Yes you know don't you" Piccolo said.

"Of course I was just surprised by your question. His name is Rando. If you don't mind me asking why do you need to see him?" she asked very surprised.

Feeling talkative for once in his life Piccolo replied " I need to speak to the guardian so I can see his daughter, Taji (Occ: pronunciation: TA as in TA DA and zhe like she with a Z instead of an S), She's unhappy for some reason and earths guardian sent me, of all people, to cheer the little twit up."

"I know were she is and she is not a little twit!" she replied angrily.

"Where is she?" Piccolo said impatiently.

"You're speaking to her idiot." Taji said unhappily.

"You're her?" Piccolo said pausing, "you don't fit the description I was given." he said.

"And what was the description you were given might I ask?" Taji said getting madder by the second.

" Short tempered aren't we? Well lets see he said you were 5'6 had black hair with silver highlights and that's about all you fit. As for the other things they were you had beautiful legs, were fit, and had a nice rack, but like I said you don't fit the description." Piccolo said sarcastically.

" JERK!" was the only word to escape her lips as she tried to punch his cheek but he dodged.

" Hey kid calm down you might hurt yourself." Piccolo said putting his arms up to his stomach palms facing out.
They continued their journey back to the guardians palace as Taji tried to cool before she arrived.

" Listen I was joking about before and-" Piccolo began 'she really does have a nice rack' Piccolo thought.

"I know its fine just shut up" Taji interrupted. Piccolo turned his head from her and began walking again.

" I could get us there faster if we flew" Piccolo said trying to make her a little more upbeat.

" Were almost there no need to waste precious energy." After about five minutes pasted Piccolo made one last attempt at having a conversation,

"So, why were you wearing that hood?"

"None of your business now shut up were almost there." Taji said feeling much calmer.

" You said that five minutes ago." Piccolo said refusing to shut up.

" Yes and now we are five minutes closer to being there so SHUT UP!!!" Taji replied loosing her cool. It was getting close to night as the pair approached the palace. Amazingly gorgeous was the only way to describe the fortress. It looked to be made of ivory and lined with silver. "Home sweet home" Taji murmured as she walked in her house. Piccolo stood there in aw looking at the four towers to the magnificent palace. He shook his head bringing him back to reality and ran to catch up to the fair Taji.
After being lead threw many chambers Taji and Piccolo settled in a large silver lined room. There was a strange, bald, short, and fat man sitting on a stool looking at many high technologic computers. Spinning around the perky man said

" You must be Dende's man! Welcome to Kuro. It seams you and Taji have already met. I'm Taji's father my name is Rando it is very nice to meet you. I will make room accommodations as soon as you tell me your name!" piccolo only groaned to himself at the man's eagerness but managed to speak his name. "Not very talkative are you? Oh well by the time you get to go back home that will change I'm sure!" Rando smiled. 'When will this hell end?' Piccolo thought unto himself. "Taji!" the chubby man quickly yelled.

"Yes Father?" Taji replied trying to mask her feelings.

"Why are you so unhappy? That's what Piccolo is here for! I even have a fun-filled evening planned for the two of you tomorrow so perk up!" Rando said way to happy as usual.

"Great" Piccolo and Taji said half-heartedly in union.

"Well then I suppose you're tired so Taji how about you go and show Piccolo to his room? It's right beside yours! Now then off to bed children and sweet dreams" the, oh-so-perky man smiled and walked out of the room and into his bedroom.

"Goodnight daddy!" Taji said good-humouredly and smiled and waved goodnight to her guardian father.

"Well Come on, lets go" Taji said leading the way threw a huge hall.

"Look if you don't want to go on that thing your father planned tomorrow you don't have to." Piccolo stated saying his first words in quite a while.

" That's just it I have to because my father planned it. After all I still want you to teach me how to fight." Taji said reopening the topic.

" I am not going to teach you how to fight" Piccolo restated.

"We'll just see about that how about we make a bet?" Taji said obviously having something up her sleeve.

" And what is that?" piccolo said curiously.

" Okay ill make it something simple, hmmm…got it! I want you to go the rest of tonight without fighting not even swatting a fly, understand?" Taji said trying to keep a smile hidden.

"Yeah, and if I win what do I get?" Piccolo stated making sure this was a two-sided deal.

"I promise not to make your life a living hell while you stay here, and you wont have to teach me how to fight." Taji gave her best puppy dog eyes but kept her mouth in a small smile.

Piccolo said starring into her eyes "Oh,..okay". Piccolo began to go into his room but was halted by a soft hand on his shoulder.

" And if I win you have to teach me anything I want to know. Deal?" she said trying not to sound like she was seducing him even though that was exactly what she was doing.

"Deal" Piccolo said as Taji removed her hand from his shoulder and walked into her room, leaving Piccolo to himself. Piccolo walked into his bedroom and laid down oh his black and silver lined bed and drifted off into a deep sleep.

I've noticed in almost all of the stories I've read there is always something saying I don't own this crap….well…it's a fan fiction is it not? It's in a particular section other than originals is it not? All right then why do you have to give rightful ownership to the person that made the characters? Oh well if you do it I guess ill do it too…. DBZ owns nothing but piccolo Nameks and Dende lol this, my first fic, is for 'Jedi Master Yoda' or Zaz whichever you want to call her she inspired me to write this with her work "Glass Waltz" and "Fragile Tango" I suggest you read them = ^ .^ =I'm also willing to take criticism since this is my first fic I could use all the help anyone is willing to give ^ . -
