DISCLAIMER: Don't own anything except for my crack ideas and Kohaku.

A/N; Hey everyone! Hope I haven't failed too hard yet.

He was just a tad impressed with them both. Especially for the fact that he had never seen such an awkward pairing in his life. The boy was resourceful and intelligent beyond belief... And the girl... Well, let's just say that the only thing she seemed to be good at was cooking and making a complete fool of herself. Constantly she was getting into trouble if the boy wasn't around her. How strange it was that the younger of the two was the one who would keep things anchored...

As it were, the time limit of letting the two train by themselves was up. He was watching them both for the time being though. It was just pure entertainment on his own part.

Piccolo smirked.

They were free-style training after all.

xXxXx

Blocking a kick, Kohaku jumped back and with an expertly placed hand she sent a wave of energy at her young opponent. She watched, highly pleased, as Gohan skidded back about three feet. Rushing at him she then scooped down and made a punch for his stomach. He jumped out of the way, twisted his small body and jumped high, jumping off her back and landing just a few feet away. Staggering for a moment Kohaku then swerved her body so that she could sent another light blast at him. Instead of skidding this time, Gohan blocked the blast with his own weak ki blast.

Before either of them could even go at each other in the next moment, a ki blast was shot in between them. Stopping in mid-step, both then staggered and fell. Kohaku on her bottom, Gohan on his stomach, mid-punch. Blinking, Kohaku was the first to look up from the sudden shock of the random attack. Lo-and-behold Piccolo floated down next to them both. His arms were crossed and he was smirking at them both.

"On your feet," he growled out. "Both of you. Training. Starts. Now."

Scrambling up, both woman and child looked at him in apprehension. Both had no idea on what he would do.

xXxXx

Gohan yawned widely as he stared into the fire. Today had been hard. He had a bruised chin, his ribs hurt and even his bottom hurt. To say that he even liked this type of training... He would really have to say that it wasn't that fun. It was just painful and tiring. Then again, Piccolo was not an easy teacher and he had figured out first hand that he was not going to get any type of special treatment from the large green man. His age didn't seem to matter for the man, but Gohan wasn't going to start complaining because of this. In the back of his mind he knew that he needed to be taught the lessons he was going to be learning.

Yawning again, he found himself flopping over in his exhaustion. Sleep overtook him in just a few minutes.

Across the fire Piccolo was going over on what he knew on had to be done. Both of his 'students' needed so much more training then he, himself did that it was ridiculous. He just only slightly glad that they had some type of concept on how to fight. Although sloppy and clumsy as they were Piccolo deffinately knew that he could hone them into fighting machines.

Cracking open one of his eyes then he took a look at them both. Out of both of them the female seemed to have taken more damage. The black eye that she already had was apparent on her tan face, as well as various scratches. He almost smirked as he remembered the pained look she had gotten as he had punched her in the stomach...

xXxXx

Kohaku glowered over at Piccolo He had been far to cruel today with her. First he had insulted her because of her gender. Then he had said something along the lines of how she was just a lost puppy, that she had only followed Gohan because she was just that pathetic.

Not being able to take it anymore, she ran at him, pushing her ki into her legs to give her some speed. She then clenched her hands into fists as she jumped into the air, aerial kicking at his face. He blocked it instantly, muscles flexing as he grabbed her and, with sheer force, flung her into the opposite direction. Kohaku flipped in midair though, twisted her body and sent a blast of ki at her mentor before she fell to the ground in a clumsy heap.

Piccolo easily reflected the blast, and fazed in right besides her. He reached down and grabbed her long hair. It tangled into his fist as he lifted her up roughly.

"Don't let your emotions get the best of you," he brought her close to himself. "You'll lose quicker in a battle that way. Always stay as calm as you can."

Kohaku snarled then as she then lashed out, kicking Piccolo in the stomach hard enough so that he would let her go. He actually flinched, loosening his harsh grip on her hair. Kohaku then took this opportunity to sucker punch him. This time more force was used and it caused him to let her go fully. The petite woman then took this chance to jump back a few feet.

"And never have your opponent so close when they are still able to move," she sneered back at him, smirking.

It wasn't before too long that Piccolo was barraging her with his fists, his legs, and ki blasts. For about an hour they kept at it. Not only did it help relieve the tension that they had, it was just a good workout.

Gohan blinked as he watched the two. He wasn't quite sure on what to think of them. On one hand, Kohaku had every right to attack Piccolo like she had. On another though she should of kept her cool. Scrunching up his nose he shook his head. More or less he was glad that he got to have a break for a little while.

xXxXx

Gohan remembered the first rule that Piccolo had told him when they had begun training. When you wake up in the morning you do your business, get breakfast and then training will begin. That was exactly on what he did this morning. He got up, went to do his business, found some editable berries, then got ready to train with Piccolo.

When he went to go to the green man he was ready to begin an unusual sight was held before him. At first it looked like Piccolo and Kohaku were meditating together. But after a minute or two of staring he took note that Kohaku was leaning up against Piccolo and sleeping. She was snoring softly as she seemed to grip the Namekian's arm lightly. Not being sure on what to do he scuffed his foot lightly.

He suddenly felt like he was interrupting something. Except he knew that his Ko-chan and Piccolo had a weird dislike for each other. He could never place it except for how a married couple would act since he had seen his mother complain countless times to his father. Blinking he then looked up just in time for Piccolo pushing the woman gently onto the ground and himself standing up. His mentor then nodded to him to go to a distance. Gohan did as he was told.

Training began once they both got into position. For over three hours they went at it.

At some point Kohaku had joined, but through the first half of the session, she stopped. Not saying a thing about Piccolo continued the training. He figured that maybe she had to go relieve herself. Not even the sudden smell of blood stopped him from what he was doing because blood, sweat and dirt was very natural to his senses.

As she jumped off Kohaku's cheeks flared to life in embarrassment. For awhile now she had been wondering on what had been keeping her from getting her period. Apparently nothing at the current moment as she checked herself. Groaning, she rubbed her hand in the dirt before trying not to panic. She had literally thought that maybe it wasn't possible to have it while she was here since she wasn't actually fromthis dimension.

"Well... crap," she mumbled. "I guess I should get some thick gauze or something."

Frowning, she decided to get her old outfit. Jumping over to the cave that they usually stayed over night in, Kohaku grabbed the old red top and began to rip it up. It would literally have to do before she could get Piccolo to give her some gauze. Or rather, made her some...

A few minutes later she was going back to the training site. She didn't join though and just watched for the time being seeing as how the lower half of her body was aching. Except this was not the case when Piccolo ordered Gohan to fight her. She did so but only when Gohan started to panic when her right pant leg began to become dark with blood.

"Are you hemmoraging!," the boy screeched, flailing. "Oh my gosh oh my gosh!"

Kohaku could only stare at him, sweatdropping. How was she going to explain that she was alright? That what was happening was completely normal for a girl? Heck, Piccolo looked a tad alarm as well as he came up to them both. In fact he began to check her over almost instantly.

"Uh... Guys?" Kohaku blinked at them both. "... Guys?"

Oh great kais... Kohalu rubbed her temples in irritation. They both seemed to be freaking out more then herself was. Frowning she then walked off to the waterfall. Taking her pants off she then just blatantly put them in the water and began to scrub the material on itself. The cool water turned pink.

xXxXx

Frowning, as per usual, Piccolo sat upon a platue just a mile away from Kohaku and Gohan. He found the scent of her oddly... Well, he wasn't sure on how to describe it but he was annoyed beyond belief with how her body was making her bleed for no reason. He couldn't really wrap his mind around even though she had explained that what was happening was natural for her. It helped her have children and regulated her hormones.

... Whatever those were.

Growling for a moment he found himself tensing up. Even from this distance he could still smell her faintly, along with Gohan. He could also hear them talking. Kohaku was still trying to calm down Gohan, her voice having a motherly edge to it. Except the boy was still crying. He sincerly hoped that the kid would have grown out of that by now..

"He's still five years old Piccolo-san, you gotta give him a break sometimes."

Yeah, well, henever got any breaks as a kid. Actually... He had grown so fast that he couldn't say that he had a childhood, or adolescence, but he knew he had deffinattly had his adulthood under his belt. Even at his current age he knew he was way beyond a normal persons (or aliens) growth. Sighing he pushed these thoughts from his mind as he let a light sleep take over him.

Only to find himself waking up just a few minutes later to a scream.
