When they got back, Piccolo told Gohan that their training may have to wait one day. Gohan didn't complain, he was worried about the girl. About an hour after they got back, Gohan approached the small girl, who was sitting with her knees up to her chest, and her tail wrapped around her legs.

"Hey," He said. The girl turned to face him as he sat down. "My name is Gohan. What's yours?"

Her ear flicked. "My name is Katori. Are you an earthling?"

"Not quite. I'm half human and half Saiyan. What about you?"

Katori giggled. "Isn't that interesting? I'm also half Saiyan." She laughed when Gohan's eyes grew three sizes and his jaw dropped. "I am half Nekoseijin, and half Saiyan."

Gohan blinked a couple of times. "Wow, we're a bit alike aren't we?" She nodded. "So, um, I was wondering, and you don't have to answer this, but, um, how did you and your mother get here? Like I mean, what caused you two to come here?"

"Well," Katori sighed, she fiddled with hair. "I guess I'll start at the very beginning. So, when I was born, a goddess came into my mother's cave and delivered a prophecy. I am sorry, but I'm forbidden to speak it. Anyways, the goddess, who was the moon goddess, Lady Tsuki, had delivered the prophecy, and she also said that I was psychic, that I could foretell the future, read minds, and that I could enchant and use magic."

"You can read minds? Can you read mine right now?"

"I could if I wanted to, but right now I'm using a trick that I came up with. I imagine the sound of rain, and slip someone's thoughts into each raindrop, so that their thoughts are drowned out in the downpour."

"Neat, what about your necklaces? Do they hold significance to the prophecy?" Gohan asked.

"No, they aren't connected to the prophecy. Katori said. She held up her mother's stone. "They're called Life-essence stones, if you have a life-essence stone, and another person important to you has one, then you can communicate telepathically with each other. I enchanted them myself; and there are only three in existence: mine, my mother's, and my friends."

"Huh," Gohan said. "Cool."

"Anyways, my father was a Saiyan, and he somehow thought that I could read minds, and I think he thought this because of our life-essence stones. So he took us to the headquarters of a tyrant, hoping to get into his army. And he tried to give the tyrant the one thing he wanted." Katori's eyes shadowed.

"And what was that?" Gown asked.

"Psychic powers. In other words, me."

Gohan was shocked. He didn't think that a Saiyan father would do something that treacherous, especially to his own daughter and wife. "I'm, I'm sorry about what happened Katori. If anything we're kind of in the same boat. My dad and Mr. Piccolo had to fight a saiyan named Raditz six months before you came, and dad had to sacrifice himself to save everyone."

"Two moons and fireballs, we are alike." Katori flabbergasted. Gohan nodded.

"Hey Katori, were you born with those markings?"

"Yes I was."

"I like them." He pointed to her right cheek.

She brushed against the spiral marking. "Thanks."

While Katori was telling her story to Gohan, using his sharp hearing, Piccolo was listening along. When she finished, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the little girl. He got a strange new feeling, like he should protect not just her, but both of them.

"Great, I'm going soft. To a pair of brats." Piccolo thought grumpily. He turned towards the two chatting kids, catching onto their conversation.

"So when's your birthday?" Gohan asked.

"The Summer solstice, which was on a full moon. You?"

"Mines on May 18th. I wonder when Mr. Piccolo's birthday is." Katori shrugged.

"IF YOU TWO ARE FINISHED TALKING, GO HUNTING! IT'S ALREADY SUNDOWN!" Piccolo bellowed at the two, who (especially Katori, who had her wolf ears) jumped at the sound.

"So Katori, do you know how to hunt?" Gohan asked quickly.

"Yes, I can."

"Okay. I'll go foraging for berries, can you hunt?"

"Sure!"

As Gohan was about to leave, he noticed that Katori seemed to be struggling with something. He was about to ask if she was okay, but she started to tremble, as if she was charging her Ki. Then her face began to grow longer. This caught Piccolo's attention.

"What in the name of-" Piccolo's thought was cut short as Katori's face grew a long muzzle, and fur began to grow all over her body. Once she was fully transformed, her clothes faded.

In her spot, was a white wolf? It also had blue eyes tinged with purple, a blue stone necklace, and a spiral marking on its right cheek.

Just like Katori.

"Wow! I didn't know you could transform! You look so pretty!" Gohan exclaimed. Katori blushed (if possible for a wolf) and nodded.

"I'll try to get us a deer or something to share. Hey Mr. Piccolo? Do you eat?" She shouted over to him.

"No." He grumbled, barely audible.

"Oh well, let's get back in an hour!"

"Okay!" And off they went.


With Gohan…

Gohan was running in the wasteland, hoping to catch sight of any landmarks. He had been running for about five minutes, and he knew that the apple trees and blueberry bushes had to be nearby.

"Come on, where are they?" Gohan wondered, as he shifted his "berry basket" (which he made and weaved out of long grass) "They should be around here somewhere."

On cue, he wasn't paying attention and slammed face first, into a tree. Muttering, Gohan stood up and angrily looked at the tree, as if it were a real person. Then he realized that it wasn't just any tree, it was the apple tree he was looking for! Gohan looked again. There were the blueberries! And raspberries, and blackberries!

Gohan greedily began to pick berries off of all the bushes, as well as a few apples. About ten minutes later, he had his basket completely filled with about ten of each of the berries, and four apples. Feeling content about his harvest, Gohan began his trek back to their camp.


With Katori

In her wolf form, Katori wondered where there would be any decent prey. She lifted her snout and sniffed once. Twice. Three times. There, in that direction, to the east, a herd of elk. That should feed them both, especially with the berries that Gohan is collecting. And so she ran off at high speed towards her prey.

As Katori ran, she looked for landmarks. A dinosaur skeleton here, the biggest beehive you'll ever see there, and a large oak tree here. A few five minutes passed, and the scent was getting stronger. There, a huge herd of about fifteen elk. Going into a hunting stalk, Katori studied her potential prey, trying to find an old and slow one. There, grazing on its own, a huge, but limping male. She stalked closer, and closer, until she was ready to pounce.

Then she sprang out of the long grass and ran straight for her target. She jumped onto his back, and bit viciously down on his neck. It shrieked in pain as it fell to the ground. After a few more seconds with Katori biting down on its neck, the unfortunate elk died. Happy with her kill, Katori went back to camp with the carcass.

Five minutes found Katori back at camp. She expertly skinned the elk with a dagger Lianas gave her and had it cooking over a fire that she used her ki to ignite. Katori smiled at the memory.

Flashback…

One day when Katori was visiting the elderly lionjin, she was telling the stories of old legends. The legends of the first Nekoseijins. The story was for the tigerjins, and how they got their stripes.

"The tigerjins used to look like lionjins, only a bit more orange in colour. They became jealous of the leopardjins because they were unique with their intricate rose patterns, and the lionjins had fluffy and golden manes. How come they were the most beautiful? Why couldn't they be unique?"

"Why couldn't they be special Lianas? Why were the others unique?"

"I'll tell you.. lets continue with the story shall we?"

"Yeah!"

Lianas continued. "With that, they went into solitude, from being upset with their problem; they hid in the shadows, away from the other clans, and only hunted at night. When they finally resurfaced out of the shadows five years later for a global gathering that happens, they realized that they had jet black stripes! After lurking and running around in hiding, it seemed that the shadows had ripped away and clung onto their fur when in their tiger forms."

"Wow! Really? That is so cool!" Said 3 year old Katori.

Lianas nodded. "Yes it is young Katori. Oh, one thing before you go, I must give you something." She unhooked the dagger from around her waist. "This, was my ancestor, Leo's dagger. He was one of the first Lionjins. I want you to have it. I barely eat anymore, and it was often used in battle. I have no use for it now." She gave the dagger to Katori.

Katori was mesmerized by the dagger. "Wow! Thank you so much Lianas! I am very grateful!"

End of flashback…

Katori sat down and waited for Gohan to come back. Currently, she was making a satchel out of the hide from the elk. She had no one to talk to if Gohan wasn't here. There was Piccolo, but it wasn't like he would ask to talk to her or anything. He would most likely want to train her until she was beaten to a bloody pulp.

Then she had an idea. It was like lightning.

Since Gohan and she would be training for the "Other saiyans" (Gohan told her) Piccolo would be training them very hard every day, it will most likely result to injury. So, Katori could enchant something to heal them if they got hurt, and she could keep it in her new satchel.

Katori stood up, looking for something to use. There, a nice smooth stone. She picked it up. Yes, it was smooth, it was as white as her fur, and as big as a mandarin orange. Now to say the special words.

"Enchant this stone so that it heals any injury, no matter how intense." Katori said to the stone.

And now to test the enchantment.

Let's hope Mister Piccolo won't get suspicious.

Katori got her dagger, and very gently cut herself.


Piccolo's POV

Piccolo was meditating for a while, enjoying the peace and quiet, when Katori comes back with an elk at least three times bigger than herself. She skinned it and used an energy blast to light a fire. She was then making a bag of some sort when an expression came onto her face. She then proceeded to start talking to a rock.

Out of all the weird things that he had seen, that was the weirdest.

She said something to the stone, and then, surprisingly cut herself with the dagger that she had on her waist.

"What the- What is the brat doing?" Piccolo was about to stop her when she lifted up the stone and carefully placed it on top of the beginning of the injury. Beneath the stone, the cut looked like it was evaporating. She slid the stone over the cut, and it looked as if fresh snow was covering a muddy iceberg. Katori lifted up the stone and revealed an as-good-as-new arm. No scars or anything. When she saw Piccolo walking towards her with a scowl, she immediately hid the stone behind her back with a sheepish look.

"Okay kid, you have a lot of explaining to do." Piccolo said gruffly.

Katori hung her head. "Yes, I know."


Piccolo crossed his arms. "First off, what did you do to the stone?"

"Well, besides being a prophet, I am also an enchanter. I'm able to enchant and manipulate anything. I think you overhead Gohan and I's conversation about the Life-essence stones right?" Piccolo nodded. "Well, they were my first ever enchantments. And I had a thought, if you're going to be training us, then we will get injured, so I decided to enchant something that could heal us. And I always have to test my enchantments if they work. So that's why I cut myself."

Her eyes became distant, and she raised her hands to her chest and rubbed them together. "My mother always told me that Lady Tsuki told her that, if I use my animus powers too much, I will lose my sanity, and go homicidal. That's why I've only used my powers twice with little things. I'm so paranoid that I've been tempted to make a soul scope to read if I am going crazy."

Piccolo blinked. Going crazy by using powers? He did not think that was possible. He couldn't help but feel sympathy for the child. Feeling sympathy for a little brat. What have I become? He shoved the thought aside. "So, what's this "prophecy" of yours?" He asked.

Just as she was opening her mouth to say something, Gohan came back with a basket full of assorted fruits and berries.

"Hey Mr. Piccolo! Hey Katori, I got some berries and apples to eat!" He said obliviously.

Just as Piccolo was going to say something to Gohan, a blinding light came from in front of them all, causing them to shield their eyes. The light faded, and in its place, was a tall elegant woman. She had pale blue eyes, silver hair, milk pale skin, and was wearing a deep blue dress.

"Who's this person?" Piccolo thought arrogantly.

"Wow, she appeared out of nowhere, I wonder who she is?" Gohan wondered.

"Wait, could she be?" Katori's eyes widened.

The figure smiled and said: "Hello, Katori, Gohan and Piccolo. My name is Tsuki."

"Lady Tsuki." Katori breathed. She immediately went down into a bow. Piccolo and Gohan looked at her, wondering if they should also be bowing.

Tsuki smiled. "It's okay, there is no need to be bowing like this dear Katori." Katori blushed and stood back up.

"Are you Lady Tsuki?" Gohan asked. Tsuki nodded.

"I couldn't help but overhear you and Piccolo's conversation, Katori, and I know that you are forbidden to speak the prophecy." She turned to Piccolo and Gohan. "But it goes like this:


In a time of greed,

There shall be two gods reigning supreme.

The gods of destruction, and the gods of night and day.

And their reincarnates to fight and join the fray.

Two universes shall clash in a pointless battle.

In a bloodbath of the children of both light and shadow.


Tsuki let the words she had spoken sink in. Then she said. " I will let all you know that this prophecy will happen in at least a decade."

Piccolo stepped towards her. "Why tell us now? Why not in five years?"

"I don't think you should question her like that Mr. Piccolo..."

"Because, you must take care of her until the time has come." Tsuki said sternly.

Silence met her words. Gohan's mouth had formed an 'o' shape, Piccolo's face was unreadable, and Katori's was unsure. And with that, Lady Tsuki disappeared.

No one didn't make a sound for a long time. But it was Piccolo who finally spoke.

"Alright runts, let's get back up on top of the mountain." He said.

"Looks more like a plateau to me." Gohan thought. Then he came back to reality. "Wait, how will we get back up?"

Piccolo snorted. "Fly of course." He said sounding annoyed.

"But Katori and I can't fly yet!"

"Figure it out." And with that he effortlessly flew to the top.

Katori looked at the mountain, it sure was tall.

"Oh well, let's go."

Katori ended up going into her wolf form and hauled Gohan up at parts where he couldn't climb. It was after dark when they finally got up. Then they went into a deep sleep. But unbeknownst to them, a certain green skinned guy have ruffled their hair in affection.
