A Special Training II
Disclaimer: Sailor Moon and Dragon
Ball Z do not belong to me, never have, and unless some crazed celestial event
occurs, causing the universe as we know it to cease to function, I never will
and not get paid for it.
A/N: I have gotten several reviews
saying that they want this to be a Trunks/Usagi romance. Uh, I can't spoil the
surprise, now, can I? Let's see if you can guess…
Usagi
watched with trepidation as the silver imperium crystal lit, granting her wish
to go to the one who asked for her help…
It
seemed to open up like a flower, the crystal petals falling away from each
other gracefully, and as Usagi looking into it, she felt like she was being
pulled into …
"AHHHH!"
she screamed, looking over the edge of… The edge of…
It
was a really long way down, part of her noted, while she shook from fear.
"Excuse
me, may I help you?" said a pleasantly accented voice from behind her. Still
jumpy, Usagi sprang about three feet into the air, and spun.
The
person behind her was all black, with no nose, and wearing an interesting
outfit.
"Uh-
Yeah, see, well, um- I-" she stuttered, trying to get her words out.
"Did
you ask for help?" she finally managed to get out, in a rush.
The
black, strange looking little man, with a tooth sticking out, shook his head.
"Mr.
Popo does not remember asking for help from a pretty young girl. I will go ask
Kami if he can answer your question."
At
that, the little man walked away, and Usagi hurried away from the edge of the
long, long, long drop.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kami
sat on his throne, eyes closed, deep in thought.
His
throne was surrounded by peaceful shadows, contrasting to the brilliant,
constant sunlight of the Lookout.
I
was answered. Yet, the voice sounded young. Will this person be able to
actually help us?
He hadn't really thought
his plea would be answered.
"Kami-sama!"
said an urgent voice, that of Mr. Popo, his gardener.
"Yes,
Mr. Popo?" Kami-sama asked, not paying much attention.
"There
is a pretty young girl apparently lost on the Lookout, asking if we need some
help."
Kami
had been thinking about something else, until the latter part of what Mr. Popo
said hit him.
"A girl, you said? Where is she?"
"Yes, Kami."
"Take me to her!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Usagi had taken to looking at the lovely flowers of the
Lookout, appreciating how beautiful it was, as long as you didn't look over the
side.
She heard two sets of footsteps, and turned to see the
black man, back with a green man, who wore a long, white robe with a kanji on
his chest that said 'Kami".
"Uh, I guess you are Kami," she said uncertainly,
seeing how strange the green looking man was.
Well, no one said that person asking for help
was human, right?
He looked so old! She wondered if he would blow away
with a gust of wind.
"Someone
was asking for help, and I heard them," Usagi began, fidgeting at the old man's
gaze. He could look through you like Queen Serenity could!
"Yes,
well, when I asked for help, I was hoping for someone, well, a bit uh- older,"
Kami told her, and Usagi felt her eyes well up.
"YOU'RE
JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WHO THINKS I CAN'T DO ANYTHING! WAHHH!" she screamed,
and sobbed.
Kami
sweat dropped.
"Well,
yes, Miss, I appreciate that you came all this way, but I don't think this is
something a little girl should be doing…"

"What
the hell?" Piccolo said, turning at the last minute, and Gohan's punch breezed
by his face.
"Grr,"
Gohan responded, annoyed.
"Do
you sense that?" he asked, turning to the power source he suddenly felt.
It
was beyond strange, he thought. This power was bizarre, it felt like-
It
reminded him of Gohan's; but only because of the innocence and purity that came
from it. It was like touching light itself.
He
opened eyes that he hadn't realized were closed, to see that Gohan was looking
at him strangely, but his head was tilted to the side, like he was trying to
hear something.
"I
kinda feel it. It isn't like yours or mine, though. It seems-"
"Like
listening to a pure tone, or seeing sunlight through ice," Piccolo whispered
softly, not knowing where the poetic turn of phrase came from.
Gohan
only nodded. To him, it made perfect sense in describing this new power.
"Can
you tell where it's coming from?" asked Gohan, trying to figure out where this
huge power was.
"I
think-" Piccolo started, and took off.
Gohan
shouted for his mentor to wait up.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Usagi
was still ranting, and both she and Kami were getting so caught up in the
yelling that they didn't notice the aura that was surrounding her, or that they
now had other visitors.
"Hello,"
said Mr. Popo. "I'm afraid Kami is a little busy right now, but if you leave
your name and number, I'm sure he will get back to-"
"Popo,
what's with the answering machine imitation?" asked Piccolo, who kept his eyes
on the ticked off girl with weird hair.
"I
was hoping that it would help keep some of the workload off of Kami. The girl
was the response to a cry for help that Kami made."
"A
cry for help?"
"Kami,
why would you ask for help from a little girl?" Piccolo asked the green
guardian of the Earth.
"I
am NOT JUST a GIRL! I-" Usagi cut off, scowling. "I wanted to help," she said
more quietly.
Piccolo
stared at her. Was it his imagination, or what that huge power coming from her?
And
when did humans wear their hair so strangely?
"Kami,
did you know a huge power is coming from this girl?" he asked Kami.
Kami
did a double take, looking at the girl again. A crescent moon had appeared on
her forehead, and it was glowing. Her aura shown silver. Power wise, she had a
great deal of potential. Lots and lots of potential.
"You're
right," Kami told Piccolo, surprised.
"WILL
YOU ALL STOP TALKING ABOUT ME?" She shouted at the two green figures.
They
turned to glare back at her, and Usagi shrank back.
"Heheh-
I mean, I really don't like it when people talk like I'm not there… Uh, my name
is Usagi," she introduced herself, and put out her hand.
Piccolo
and Kami stared at her in surprise for a moment.
"I
am the Kami-sama of this planet, child," Kami told her, and reached over to
shake her hand.
"This
rude Namek," Kami added," is Piccolo."
Piccolo
was giving Usagi one of his usual cold glares, arms crossed, trying to look
unimpressed with her powers.
It
worked, because Usagi backed up off the Lookout.
"AHHHHHH!"
she shrieked.
It
was then that Gohan decided to show up. Of course, he approached from the other
side of the Sanctuary.
"Kami?"
he asked," what was that screaming I heard?"
To be continued.
