When I wrote that last chapter I had only began watching dragon ball z I had not even met dende all I knew about him was that he was namek short green and younger than piccolo so I appologize on how bad he was out of character but you've got to admit it added some humor to the story ^.~ now I have seen dende and know a lot about him ill try to put him kind of in character but I kinda like the idea of piccolo fearing a little green midget :D that and how could you not love Dende in any way?

Teach me…

Taji sat up in her bed listening for the slight rhythmic sound of Piccolos breathing in the other room. By the slow steady breaths, Taji could tell Piccolo was asleep. 'Finally' Taji thought to herself. She stood up and began to undress. Reaching over to her dresser she pulled out a thick black bandage and began wrapping it around her breasts. Looking around the room she finaly found what she had been looking for another bandage but it was much thicker and thinner than the other one. Starting at her toes she began wrapping her legs up and then her waist going up until you could no longer tell who she was, or what sex she was for that matter.
"I look pretty good as a male" Taji with a slight chuckle mumbled softly as so she wouldn't wake up the sleeping namek in the other room. Walking silently to her door she turned the silver knob and walked into the shadow filled hall. Looking around Taji creeped to Piccolos door and slowly opened it to a crack so she could squeeze through. 'Still asleep, good' Taji's eyes darted back and forth over the namekian warrior. ' I'm going to get trained I'm gonna be trained by piccolo!' Taji was already doing a victory dance in her head. Coming back to her senses she pounced on piccolo and punched him in the cheek.

"Ouch hey what tha" piccolo was abruptedly punched again in the stomach stopping him from finishing his sentence.

Pushing her off of himself, piccolo tried to hold her down on the floor. "Who are you and what do you want?!"

kicking him in the stomach she rolled from underneath him and punched him in the side of the head. As a last chance to get the person down on the floor he kicked the image in the head and got on top of midnight visitor holding down its arms. Now " What do you want?"

Taji, saying her first words sense she entered his room " I want you to train me".
"Taji?!" Picccolo said with disbelief

removing the cloth from around her face she looked at him and said, " you lost the bet and I want to learn how to fight so train me".

Rolling off of her Piccolo said " fine! Fine. I'm going to go get some fresh air."

Piccolo then got up and proceeded to go outside leaving taji to herself. Taji wasn't about to leave the namek to himself she wanted to annoy him a bit long about how she won even If it was a sneaky way to win she won none-the-less.

~* Out on a nearby cliff outside as the sun was rising *~

Taji came and sat down beside piccolo brushing shoulders with him as she did so. Piccolo only continued to look at the rising sun. Taji was hunting for words to say anything at all finaly she decided on

"I won"

"Only because I dropped my guard with you your smarter than you look" Piccolo said never moving his gaze.

"Never underestimate" Taji said wisely.

"…"

A few moments passed of delicate silence passed only to be interrupted by Taji's word

"When I was little my mother and I would stand out here and watch the sunrise together. She always used to tell me a story about the sun and the moon on kuro. There used to be a man and a woman who loved each other very much but their parents forbid them to see each other for they were of different tribes. But at night they would sneak out and meet each other the woman had gotten pregnant and was forced to tell her parents. As soon as they found out they left to kill the man but he came to her that night dispite the fact that there were men there to kill him. He whispered a prayer and told the woman he loved her. Her parents then drove a sword threw the man's chest killing him instantly the woman also died that night of a broken heart. In there next life it is said that the man became the sun the woman became the moon. Still drivin apart during night and day but when the sunsets and the moonrises and when the moonsets and the sunrises they are together once again. That's what makes the sunrise and sunset so beautiful when they are apart they are beautiful on there own but also nothing without the other together they make the world complete."

"That's a nice thought". Piccolo said thinking about the story he had just heard.
"Where is your mother now if you don't mind me asking?"

"She died hunting for a mystical gem called the japormie. Anyone who owns it will become a ultimate warrior. Fighting was in her blood as is it is in mine." Taji whispered in a soft voice. Her eyes began to water but she forced the tears back.

" Taji, I am sorry. I did not mean to bring up a topic that would hurt you." Piccolo said seeing the water form in her eyes dispite her desperately trying to hold them back. Piccolo looked into her eyes and told her "even the strongest warriors cry it is not a weakness". Taji closed her eyes as a few tears fell from her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. Seeing this Piccolo grabed her fragile frame and held her close to him. "Just let it out" Piccolo murmured. Taji began to sob into the nameks chest. After many more tears Taji and Piccolo watched the sun rise together. Taji, still in Piccolos arms, fell asleep. Piccolo looked at her. 'She looks like and angel while she is asleep…she looks like an angel anytime I see her' Piccolo began to blush at his own thoughts. Standing up piccolo walked into the palace with Taji in his arms.

*~Back in Taji's room~*
 Piccolo carefully placed Taji under the covers in her bed. Piccolo then could do nothing but stare at her. 'She's so beautiful like this her hair is perfectly around her and her lips…so soft rosy…so kissable'. As if on que, Taji opened her eyes to stare back at the namekian man before her. Piccolo placed her hand on her cheek stroking it softly. Taji responded by nuzzeling into his hand.

"Piccolo… you said you would teach me anything I wanted to know" Taji said in a soft whisper.

Piccolo said, "Yes I will train you".

"Good but that's not what I want you to teach me right now" Taji said a small blush coming apon her cheeks.

"Then what?" Piccolo kept his voice down looking at her in confusion.

"I have never been kissed Piccolo I want you to be the one that teaches me how" Taji said looking away from his eyes not wanting to see if he accepted or denied her offer.

Stroking her hair sofly Piccolo blushed and bent down to her lips. "Are you sure that's what you want me to teach you?" Piccolo said his green skin turning a cremson red.
Piccolo then made a mistake; he looked into her crystel blue eyes. That made up his mind weather she wanted him to kiss her or not, he was going to do it! Leaning down he placed his lips apon hers nipping on her bottem lip she opened her mouth allowing his tounge to enter. After a short war of domonince and probing each other's mouths Piccolo drew back, his breathing rigid, the same as Taji's. They stared at each other for a few moments.

"HELLO DEAR AND GOOD MORNING!!!!"

"AHHHH!!!!!" Piccolo and Taji said in union.

"Piccolo? What are you doing in my little angels room?" Rando stood at the door looking in at the aquard duo.

"I, uhh…" Piccolo stammered.

"Never mind, your fun filled evening starts soon so get dressed and take a shower for goodness sake!" Rando said with a wicked smile as he left the room.
