Disclaimer: I own nothing in this chapter.

Cold as Fire
Chapter 2 – Threatened
---------------
Meanwhile, at the Kame House, it was unusually quiet without Master Roshi's exercise videos playing in the living room. The old master and Oolong were out at some store somewhere, and Turtle was swimming about out in the far ocean regions. Yamcha and Gohan both went home, leaving Krillin by himself. It was almost dusk as Krillin cooked his dinner: fish sticks. He sat down at the kitchen table and still, he thought about 18. He couldn't sense her ki, so for all he knew, she could be coming right now (and you know she is)
'Well I'm sure 17's taking care of her. After all, he is her brother.' He thought. Krillin finished his so-called "meal" and was about to go upstairs to his room when he heard knocking at the door. Krillin jumped, "Oh God no…" he said to himself in complete fear that it could be 18. He hesitated before moving toward the door. Krillin opened the door to find…
Gohan. (Ha ha! I fooled you all!)
"Why do you look so scared, Krillin?" he laughed, "my mom said I could maybe sleep over. Sorry for not calling. I was too excited. It's okay, right?"
"Yeah! Take your stuff to the guest room. You know where that is right?"
"I don't think I remember…I've only been here a million times!" Gohan joked. He went upstairs with his things to the room next to Krillin's. In no time, he was back down.
So whatdya wanna do?" Krillin asked the young saiyan.
"Hmm…spar."
"Is that all you do now? What ever happened to the whole studying thing?"
"My mom didn't say anything about it. I think she's depressed."
"Or on drugs…' Krillin thought. "Well do you want to spar or talk?"
"Wait! Let me get my sparring clothes on!" Gohan called as he ran back upstairs to his room.
Krillin rolled his eyes and opened the door to go outside and wait for him. He almost screamed at the sight of who was right in front of him. He took a few shaky steps back in shock as 18 pulled him by the arm outside angrily and shut the door. She let go of his arm and grabbed him by the front of his shirt and pulled him close to yell at his face.
"That punk kid of Goku showing up ruined this whole event so I'm gonna have to make this quick. Think of a good reason why you smashed the controller instead of shutting me down, protected me from Cell's battle, and made that wish. Then get back to me with the answer and we can forget about each other and anything that happened between us over the past year. Got it?" She glared straight at him. Krillin didn't know what to say. He figured she'd kill him if he didn't answer so he bluntly said, "Got it."
Good. To make it easier for you, I'll be back tomorrow at around 11 am to hear your answer. If you lie, I'll probably kill you. If you tell the truth, then we can forget everything."
"Okay." As soon as Krillin said that, 18 turned around and flew off. Gohan walked outside right after she left. He was wearing almost an exact copy of the outfit he wore in the Cell Games.
"Sounds like you've got some thinking to do. Should I call Yamcha?" he asked.
"No. If it's the truth she wants, it's the truth she'll get. If she wants to forget about me this bad, then so be it. The hard part is actually telling her that I love her. I mean…how would she react?"
"Well…she could kill you…or just leave…or threaten you…or…um…kill you-"
"You already said that."
"Well, then you know how likely that one is to happen!"
Krillin sat down on the porch, his head in his hands, "What am I gonna do?"

Meanwhile,
18 arrived back home to find 17 asleep on the couch holding a can of soda and some potato chips.
'Pig…' she thought. 18 went to the fridge. 'Oh sure…the night I say I don't want leftovers is the night where all there is to eat are pork & beans. That better not be all he bought.' She closed the fridge door and began walking back into the living room. 'I guess I'm gonna have to starve.' She stopped dead in her tracks, going over what she just thought and looked over at her brother, 'God we think too much alike.'
