Bulma chose to stop soon after the dinosaur incident. They pulled into a clearing on the side of the road. Bulma pulled a house stored in a Dino cap, which Kairi just walked into, but Goku was harder to convince. "Get away from it's mouth Bulma! I'll protect you from that monster!" he cried. Kairi sighed in exasperation. Goku's going to give me a headache. "That's very noble of you kid, but this is just a house come on in." said Bulma.
Goku came in looking around warily. He was extremely startled when Bulma turned on the lights. "Bulma, you brought the sun in here. It's light in here even though it's dark out there." he exclaimed causing Kairi to face-palm for the millionth time today. "It's something those of us that live in the city like to call electricity. What were you transported from the stone age or something?" she said. Kairi intervened when she saw that Bulma was about to turn on the TV.
"Bulma, don't you have better things to do than mess with Goku?" asked Kairi hoping she'd stop making Goku's lack of education even more evident. "Fine." said Bulma reluctantly. Suddenly she sniffed the air "Goku, you stink. You need a bath." declared Bulma. "Whats a bath." asked Goku innocently.
Bulma rounded on Kairi "You've been taking care of him for two years, and he doesn't know what a bath is!" Kairi was just as surprised as Bulma was "I thought he took his own." she said. "Well go give him a bath." shouted Bulma. "Aren't you the one that wants him to take a bath?" asked Kairi. "Yes." replied Bulma. "Then you should go give him one." said Kairi as she walked to the kitchen to get something to eat. She barely heard Bulma's protests.
She got into the kitchen and started to look around. That's all there is… Oh, well guess it'll have to do. She ate until she was full. Right after she finished she heard a loud gasp. Bulma was standing there wide eyed with her jaw almost dropped to the floor. "What're you staring at?" asked Kairi. "Where'd all that food go." asked Bulma. "I ate it where'd you think it went?" replied Kairi smartly. "That was two weeks worth of food..." said Bulma astounded. "Well I hope you have some more, because Goku eats nearly as much as I do." said Kairi chuckling slightly at the astounded look on Bulma's face. "I'll be outside." she said.
A few minutes later Goku came out. "What's up?" asked Kairi. "I'm going to get me some food since Bulma doesn't have enough." he replied. "Bulma said you ate it all." he said accusingly. "What can I say, I was hungry." answered Kairi. "Get me some to If you can." she said. "All right." answered Goku.
A few hours later Goku and Bulma were asleep. Goku had brought back a couple of wolves and a centipede, but Bulma wouldn't let him eat inside for some reason. She found herself pondering dreams. I wonder why I've been having these dreams. It's strange. Gohan told me they'd go away in time, but they haven't. And that last dream I had about Goku and those strange people on that strange planet was not a dream. It felt to real. I'm fairly sure that dream was not a regular dream, but it can't be a premonition, because I'm not physic. Oh well, whatever it was I'm not going to sleep tonight. Meditation might not be sleep, but it's the next best thing.
So she meditated the night away. She heard Goku come out and start exercising. She got up when she heard him shout something about Bulma turning into a turtle. She turned and saw some turtle sitting there talking about salt water.
"What is this?" asked Kairi. "A turtle. He says he's trying to get back to the sea and I want to help him, but Bulma says it'll slow us down in the hunt for the dragon balls." he clearly wanted her to make a decision. What would Gohan say… "Do what you're heart tells you Goku." she said. Goku looked thoughtful for a second. Then he picked up the turtle and started running down the road. Kairi turned to Bulma "Are you going to come?" she asked. "Of course not!" said Bulma "I can find the balls without you or you're brother!" Kairi shrugged and ran off after Goku quickly catching up.
After a while they heard the sound of a motorcycle and turned around to see Bulma riding toward them screaming "stop, stop or I'll run you down." The turtle said "I think we should stop. That girl scares me." When Bulma caught up Goku said "Afraid." "Me? Of course not. I just need your Dragon Ball." she replied. Kairi was skeptical but held her peace.
The group continued along in silence for a while until some bear blocked her path. Kairi raised an eyebrow at this bear. It was easily the strangest bear she'd ever seen. It had orange fur, was wearing a purple armor with yellow straps, and yellow over his stomach. He had black pants and yellow boots and had a scar over his left eye. "Humans give me heartburn, but I love turtle soup" he said in a gruff arrogant voice. Kairi was slightly annoyed, and pretty mad that this bandit was trying to rob her, and her brother.
"Get lost." she said in a hard tone. "I guess a little heartburn never hurt nobody." he laughed. Imbecile she thought. "Die!" he shouted as he took his sword in a two handed grip and swung it overhead at her attempting to cut her in half. She just stood there, and when the blade was close enough she caught it. "Wha-!" exclaimed the surprised would-be bandit. "Die." said Kairi coldly as she raised up her hand and shot a yellow energy beam straight through his chest. The bandit let go of his sword, as the energy beam carried him backward several feet where he lay dead, with a hole through the center of his chest. She tossed his sword to the side, and turned around seeing the looks of the others. Bulma was trembling and looking a little blue in the face, turtle was looking at her in open astonishment and Goku looked upset. "You didn't have to kill him." said Goku angrily. She kept a stony expression but inside she felt a small burst of pride in that her brother was willing to stand up to her because she'd killed some bandit. "I'll let you deal with him next time then." she said. He's just like Gohan, so innocent and pure. I might not be the best influence in the world but at least he's still like Gohan. "Lets go." she said.
After a few more minutes of walking they arrived at a beach. Beaches were one of the few places she loved to be. The sound of the waves was so relaxing it soothed even her nightmares. The turtle said he had to go get his master to go get them a gift. As she stood there she felt tired having not slept for last night. Even if I am on a beach I still can't sleep. So she stood there and allowed the sound of the waves and the feel of the sand wash over her.
"Sis. The turtle guys here and he wants to give you a gift." called Goku. Sighing she went over and saw some old man in an orange shirt, cargo shorts, and flip flops. He also had red sunglasses, and a purple turtle shell. "I just wanted to give you a gift for helping my turtle." said the old man. "If you want to thank somebody thank Goku." she said. "I only helped your turtle because Goku wanted to." He looked at her curiously "Is that the Dragon Sword your carrying?" he asked. "Yeah, what about it?" said Kairi. He fished around in his shell for a few seconds, and pulled out a scroll. "Here this has some techniques that allow you to tap into the swords power." he said. Kairi nodded her thanks, and immediately started reading the scroll. She was so wrapped up in her reading she didn't even notice when the old hermit left. "Hey, we're leaving." said Bulma. Kairi nodded, and started after them with the strange feeling she was going to see this old man again someday.
