Knock knock

Chichi turned in her bed and folded her other pillow over her head as if building a shield from her disturbance.

Bang bang bang

"Go away…" Chichi mumbled throwing her pillow at the door.

"Chichi, wake up!" came a familiar deep rumble from the other side of the door. "It's mid day already."

She rolled over and eyed the digital clock on the side of her bed. It read in blaring green numbers "12: 23". Grumbling she got out of bed and swung her feet over the edge of her bed. "Come in…"

The door creaked open and in the doorway stood Kakarot and Tian. Tian dressed in his usual army uniform while Kakarot wore nothing besides a pair of yellow Gi trousers. His burgundy fur covered his chest and arms leaving only his bulging pectorals exposed. When chichi caught herself ogling she quickly turned away hiding the touch of crimson that kissed her cheeks.

"Princess, we are to escort you to the board meeting in the GRC in an hour," Tian said, bowing his head. Chichi didn't like this show of obedience. She respect Tian; his fighting strength, his skill and his calm and level head. She hated to see the man who taught her to fight bow before.

"Thank you, I will be with you in a second." She informed them. Kakarot had already perched himself comfortably on armrest of the couch. He might as well have claimed it as his own. "If you may wait for me in the hall I will join you shortly.

"Oh course princess." Tian bowed and swiftly exited the room and waited in the hall for the second bodyguard to join him

Kakarot made no move to leave his perch. Stubbornly he sat on the arm of the couch in the most ungraceful position.

"Fluffy, that includes you." Chichi sighed waving her hand at the door as if to somehow use the force to get him out.

"Nah I think I'll stay her and watch you change." Kakarot said grinning like the Cheshire Cat. Chichi threw her pillow at him, which he skillfully ducked away from.

"Get out." Chichi said dangerously now.

"Make me." Kakarot snickered enjoying pressing her buttons more than he should.

"Ugh!" Chichi marched from her bed and proceeded to grab a handful of Kakarot's thick black hair and tugged him towards the door. He whined like a kitten flicking his tail back and forth in irritated pain.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow! Oh, For Kami's sake stop pulling!" With that he scooped Chichi effortlessly into his arms. He glared down at her irritated as Chichi still clung onto his thick lock, though no longer pulling.

"Holy sh-" she exclaimed, as she was swept of her feet. "Let me down you Neanderthal!" Chichi exclaimed tugging his hair again.

"Stop it or else I'll drop you!" Kakarot warned a cheeky grin on his face. Chichi's heart skipped, she never expected such a childish grin from his masculine angular features. It was endearing.

"Fine," she said pouting like a small child and hiding her blush by looking away. "Put me down, I need to get dressed. I have a meeting to get to."

"What do you have against being picked up?" he said, gently setting her down on her feet. He perched himself back on his favorite spot which was still the arm of the couch.

"I hate feeling like a prissy little princess. I am a fighter, not some damsel in distress." she explained, rummaging through her closet.

"Oh…" said Kakarot, tilting his head in deep thought. She was so interesting to him. A princess that didn't like being a princess; a little lady trying to be a warrior. It amused him more than anything on this worthless trash of a planet. He tried to picture her as a fighter. He remembered the fight in the woods. He hardly considered that fighting; she danced more than fought. He tried to picture her fighting like the warriors on his planet and quickly shook away the thought. She was good on this planet, but on his planet she would be flattened like a disk. The thought of her being hurt bothered him more than it should. Was he getting soft? He didn't like the fact that he cared for her.

"Ah! This'll work" Chichi smiled yanking a blue dress out of her closet and running into her bathroom to get changed, closing the door behind her. "By the way fluffy how old are you exactly?" She quizzed from behind the door.

"Hm?" he was snapped out of his contemplation. He stuttered "Oh.. umm, I just turned 18."

"No way! You don't look 18 at all! How can you be so tall?" she said popping her head out of the door to look at him. "Your only a year older than me!"

"I already told you, you're just little," he said smirking, still sitting comfortably on the arm of the sofa.

"Yeah, yeah you have made that abundantly clear," she said walking out of her bathroom, her hands still pulling her waist length black hair into a tight bun. He sapphire blue dress floated around her form to her knees. She quickly pulled a white blazer over it. She noticed Kakarot staring for a second longer than necessary and raising a questioning eyebrow after he noticed her eyeing him strangely.

"It's pretty," he stated simply. This threw Chichi for a second, she was expecting some witty response and had a comeback already prepared. She didn't know how to react to this though.

"Umm, Thanks I guess…" she said scratching her head embarrassed now. "Well… uh… so you're a fighter on your planet right?" She asked again trying to direct the attention away from her.

"Oh Kami, more questions?" he rumbled with amusement. "I'll entertain your questions for now. And I thought it was obvious I was. The Saiyan race is one of war and fighting. I was awarded general for my fighting ability."

"Really? A puffy kitten like you?" she teased elbowing him as they walked out of the door and into the hall together.

"Alright, enough with the puffy joke," he said looking down at her. Why he was putting up with her teasing was beyond him. Anyone else would have already been blasted to infinity and beyond. "I am the strongest on my planet actually…"

"Really? That's pretty cool." She said looking at him. He was muscled from head to toe. It was without a doubt the physique of a fighter.

"And you're a fighter too… Its kinda funny." He said smiling. A genuine smile.

"How is it funny. I trained the princess to be a excellent fighter." Tian said greeting them from the end of the hall "You look magnificent my princess."

"Hm… I might have to see how good a job you did…" Kakarot growled annoyed by the prospect he called Chichi my princess.

"Shall I escort you to the Global Research Center princess?" Tian asked ignoring Kakarot's statement completely.

"I'll do it, you go attend to your pathetic excuse for a army." Kakarot bit back again grabbing Chichi by the arm with his tail and marched off in the direction of the doors. He never acted so brash before; he was a stone cold killer yet he was acting like some adolescent teenager. What was wrong with him? Tian only chuckled

"Hey! What is wrong with you? Let go." Chichi complained as Kakarot's tailed curled just a little too tightly around her bicep.

"You're gonna be late, let's go." Kakarot muttered his only lame excuse for his brash behavior. He released her. "Anyway… any other questions?" He would want anything but the awkward conversation that he could feel was approaching.

"Oh loads," she said smiling up at him trying to lighten the mood. He appreciated the effort. "So tell me about your so called mission."

"Oh… It's a long story…"

"It's a long walk to the GRC," Chichi encouraged.

"To put it simply… the Saiyan race needs technology… your facility is what we need. Its either I come and look after it until Vegeta comes to claim it or I destroy it so no one else can have it." He said in a monotone voice. "This has happened numerous times…"

"Well what usually happens?" Chichi enquired both curious and repulsed

"I get bored and destroy the entire planet." Kakarot said so matter-of-factly that it was almost comedic.

"So you're gonna destroy my planet?" said Chichi, her entire body tense. She stopped dead in her tracks eyeing the tall Saiyan.

"I never said that," he said looking back at her.

"So this is a game to you? Get bored of us and that's the end of us? Over my dead body." Chichi spit back. How could he? He threatened to destroy her home… It was hard to believe but the seething hate she felt for him at the moment burned into him. She walked straight past him pure disgust emanating from her being.

"Chichi, I didn't mean it like that. I'm sorry." Kakarot pleaded. The idea of her hating him hurt. His heart clenched like someone was squeezing the life out of it. He never apologized to anyone; pleading was out of the question.

A minuet of sliced crackled between them as they walked down the streets of the city.

"Sorry for what… following orders? It's not your fault…" Chichi finally said breaking the silence. She forgave him…

"Yeah… guess so…" There was so much she didn't know. The amount of blood on his hands shed by innocent people from his own accord. He kept his thoughts to himself this time. No need for her hating him any more than she probably already did.

The rest of the journey continued in silence. Kakarot followed closely behind Chichi. The air was moist with the rain form the night before. As they moved closer in the center of the city the more crowded the streets became. Chichi had to walk with the flood of people. Why she didn't take one of the palace cars was simply because she liked to walk, but also that she hated being ostentatious.

She looked back and saw that Kakarot was a fair bit taller than most around him. He looked so out of place, she had to smile. He stood out like a sore thumb. Everyone seemed to stop and stare as she and the fluffy warrior walked by. Children came by waving to the princess and gaping at Kakarot. His harsh amber glare sent the children scurried off. Chichi had to stifle a laugh because of his obvious dislike for children, perhaps less his dislike for children but more their blatant dislike for him that amused her.

"You're not a kid person are you?" she said chuckling.

"I guess not. I mean they're so small and annoying. Like you," he said smiling at her, being glad that she was talking to him again.

"Yeah whatever." She replied smiling, being glad that he was back to his usual ironic self.

Chichi looked up. Looming over the skyline was a tall glass building. Three tall oval skyscrapers connected at its base by three story high platform of glass. It was majestic and a bit over-the-top for her taste, but it was a shinning gem in the skyline. It glistened in the afternoon sun, reflecting light onto the building around it.

"Wow. That's pretty cool," Kakarot said aghast. There was nothing like skyscrapers on Vegeta-sei. Buildings were kept low because of its structural integrity. With constant battles and wars, the buildings were low and strong and fitted with equipment for an invasion. Unlike this fragile glass tower, born from dreams and could as easily shatter like it. How is it that everything that is beautiful is so fragile? He said with a sad smile looking down at Chichi. The same holds true for her.

"Well we better get going then." She looked up at him. It was going to be a long day.
