A/N- Last chappie! Hope you enjoy.

To say Master Roshi was having a bad day was an understatement. He had just opened the door and saw one of the most beautiful women he had laid eyes on standing holding his former pupil. As interesting as a thought that was, she happened to be a killer android whose sole purpose was to kill his star pupil. His star pupil, Son Goku died at the hands of Cell so Master Roshi's only thought was that this android was after Goku's friends and family and unfortunately he ended up in that category.

The old master took a step back fearful inside his own home. The android stepped inside the house with Krillin's body nestled softly against her as if she was trying to save his life. Master Roshi couldn't feel a life force coming from Krillin. He only assumed it was now his time to die and unfortunately nobody was there to protect him.The android walked inside the house and Master Roshi stumbled as he hit a chair backing up in fear not moving his eyes from the android.

"Where is his bed?" Android 18 asked.

"I- I- his bed?" Master Roshi stammered.

"I won't repeat it again. Where is his bed?" 18 asked a bit more aggressively.

"Up- Upstairs, to the right" Master Roshi said not daring to move his eyes away from the android.

The android took the liberty to walk upstairs. Master Roshi decided to follow her even though he probably would regret it later. He was wondering what she would do with Krillin's body. Once at the top of the stairs, 18 looked to the right and saw a plain room with a bed in it. There was a small desk and chair against the wall with a window which was open allowing air to flow. She carefully lay Krillin down on his back nestling him on the soft covers.

"Wha- What are you going to do with him?" Master Roshi stuttered as he stood at the doorway.

"Get lost old man" 18 said. She really didn't feel like dealing with him. Master Roshi frowned at the rudeness but decided to step down in fear of his life and slowly walked out back downstairs in.

Master Roshi let out a big sigh of relief as he sat outside on a lawn chair with his turtle wondering what was happening. Was Krillin really dead or just badly injured? What were her motives? I really should get one of those satellite phones so I can call Gohan or somebody like that to help me. Master Roshi thought as he was out of options. He was just going to have to wait and hopefully the android would go away.

The android sat in the chair inside his room waiting. She would stay there as long as he could care for Krillin like he had cared for her. There was one big difference though. She was caring for him because of what she did and Krillin was caring for her out of kindness and love. Am I really just a monster disguised as a woman? What will happen when he wakes up? Should I beg for forgiveness or kill him like I was designed to do? She shut her eyes tight angry at her feelings.

She had already made up her mind that she was going to ask for forgiveness but she didn't exactly know what to do. She had never done such a thing before so how would she get him to forgive her? No. I shouldn't expect that I will be forgiven for what I have done. I am just a monster created by some twisted idiot to fulfill his greedy desires. There is no way he would forgive me.

She felt something liquid fall from her eyes at the thought of being rejected by Krillin. She thought about what things might have been if she let her emotions run free and became a part of Krillins life. Would they get married? Would they ever somehow have kids? Would they grow old together? This was all in the realm of possibility before but after what she did, no man would ever in their right mind want her.

She continued to cry unnoticed by anybody. Nobody cared for her except Krillin and she destroyed that love and caring when she tried to kill him. Or did I? She shook her head because of her crazy thoughts. I need to accept that there is no changing this. I did what I thought I should do and I need to face the consequences for my actions. I need to let him rest and care for him at his bedside then leave once he wakes up.

She thought about what would happen when she woke up. What is he going to do? Cuss me out? Tell me to leave? Tell me that she is a monster? Get Gohan or Piccolo to kill me? Maybe he would even ask Vegeta to get revenge and I would die a slow painful death? What have I done? She continued to let these foreign tears fall from her eyes. She closed her eyes and laid her head on the desk and fell asleep.

After a few hours went by she woke up surprised that she fell asleep. She was an android and she could stay awake for ever yet somehow she fell asleep. She looked confused staring down at her own hands made of flesh and blood. How did that happen? I don't need sleep. She was an artificial being and yet somehow she fell asleep when she didn't want to. Certainly she could sleep if she wants but she didn't have to and didn't want to because of what happened.

She immediately turned around to look at Krillin remembering why she was at his house. He lay in bed asleep though he looked a lot better. For some reason he was smiling ever so slightly. How does one smile while in so much pain? She thought as she got up and walked over to the bed. She put her soft hands on his forehead unsure why she did so. This would probably be the only time she would ever get to touch him. She immediately regretted it when Krillin's eyes shot open.

She immediately stepped back unsure what was going to happen. There was no preparing for this. Krillin sat up slightly but immediately regretted it as he winced in pain. He looked out the window wondering what happened. Where am I? Am I dead? He thought then turned to the left and saw Android 18 standing there with a confused unsure look on her face. Is this a dream? He thought as he felt like speaking.

"Android 18?" Krillin asked as he remembered what happened. The android had attacked him and killed him or so he thought.

"Am I dead?" Krillin asked to no one in particular. He could feel every part of his body sore and realized that there was no way he could be dead. No dead person could feel this much pain. Every single part of his body felt like he had been blasted by Vegeta a million times.

"No. No you are not" 18 said deciding to speak up.

"Didn't you kill me?" Krillin asked.

This was where 18 faltered. What was she to say? Was she supposed to explain how she had nearly killed him and then saved him out of pity? No. It wasn't pity. It was out of caring and love.

"I- I-" It was now 18's turn to stutter unsure of her next move. This was the only chance she got and she wasn't going to ruin it by saying something wrong.

Krillin thought back to what had happened. She had followed her to the city in order to pick up groceries but instead found android 18. He tried to talk to her but she ended up tossing him aside literally and hurting him. She hurt me. Krillin's face immediately went from confused to fear.

18 could see what was happening. Krillin was thinking things through and now looked fearful. She knew this look all too well as her and 17 would strike fear into anybody out of pure enjoyment. This time she was scared, worried, and upset that she had caused this to somebody she cared about.

"I- Yes I did." 18 finally stuttered. There was no use to sugarcoat it. It was all real.

Krillin looked fearful as he scooted towards the other side of the bed. 18 started to get a little angry but realized he was fearful out of reason. His rationale was legit as she had tried to kill him and not accept his care and love in return on countless occasions.

"I am sorry Krillin." There she said it. She apologized. She looked at Krillin expecting his face to change but he was still scared. The word sorry didn't do one thing. She sighed slightly and took a step forward but regretted it instantly as Krilin almost looked petrified now. It was the same petrified fear that she had done to so many. I don't even deserve to be alive. 18 thought as she was sadden at how scared Krillin was.

"I know what you are thinking but please hear me out." 18 said in a desperate plea now. "I want to say how sorry I am and how blind I am to your caring towards me. I don't even know what I was thinking." 18 went on to say. Krillin still was scared stiff.

"I- I was scared" 18 said softly. Everything she was saying was completely true. She was scared of her emotions. She was now very sorry for what she did.

"I was scared at these feelings inside of me. Krillin you need to understand that I was born to kill. I- I was created by Gero to seek out his mission and these feelings." She went on to say.

"These feelings are just so foreign to me. I- I wasn't expecting it to get this out of hand." 18 said as now tear made its way to her chin and fell towards the ground.

Krillin followed the tear as it hit the ground. He gasped in surprise at the emotional display android 18 was making. How was it possible for an android to have feelings? No. Krillin had convinced himself that she did have feelings that were deep down and only needed help to float up to the surface.

"Ever since I saw you on the highway when I fought Vegeta, I saw something different in you. You didn't try to fight back. You stood there realizing your efforts would be in vain, and back then I enjoyed the fear in your eyes." 18 said.

Krillin looked away and slightly blushed at the memory of making out on the cement of the lone highway in the mountains.

"But- But then you decided to go out of your way to care for me. I didn't want you to, so I felt like I had to take care of the problem but now I see. Now I see what I have done." 18 cried looking away ashamed.

Krillin thought back to a dream he had a few weeks ago. It was a dream of when Cell attacked him on this very same island he was at right now. It involved android 18 as he defended her but only to be tossed aside like a dirty rag. He then remembered in the dream she kissed him in the shallow water after Cell had nearly killed him. He blushed at the thought of android 18 caring so much to do something like that.

"Then there was that time on the island when Cell attacked." 18 said. She felt like nothing was working. She was glad she said it all though even if there was no future for them because of what she did. She had to convey her feelings towards him and ask for forgiveness.

Krillin's eyes enlarged into saucers at the revelation. Was that dream true? He thought as his eyes soften and his body became less tense. It was true. Krillin felt butterflies flying in his body at the thought of that. 18 really did kiss me on the island.

"I just wanted to say I am sorry. Thank you for everything that you have done for me" She said and then turned around and walked out of the room without looking back. She let the tears she had tried to keep in flow freely once she got out of the room. She immediately ran downstairs and outside.

The old man was sitting outside asleep on his lawn chair reading some magazine. She decided she would just find a place somewhere and live the rest of her life in sadness hoping one day Krillin would return. Like that would happen.

Krillin on the other hand immediately jumped out of bed ignoring the pain he felt all over his body. Android 18 just did what he never thought she would. She apologized and now he understood why she ran from her feelings. He smiled at the thought but realized that 18 might get away if he didn't chase after her. He opened the door and walked downstairs almost falling. He was too shocked and delirious from the pain and what 18 said.

"18!"

She turned around in mid air in utter shock of what she was hearing. Was it Krilin? Was her mind playing tricks on her? She saw Krillin waving on the beach of the tiny island. Krillin took the liberty to use what little energy he had to float up to her high above the house. She tensed up slightly wondering what he wanted. Was it now that he would unleash his anger on her?

"Can we land back down on the island? I can hardly fly" Krillin said happily.

"As long as we are not near that old man" 18 said sarcastically. Krillin chuckled and landed on the other side of the house.

18 didn't know what to say. There was an awkward silence for a few seconds but she knew she had to speak out. This was all her fault and she had to fix it somehow and it would seem that Krillin gave her somewhat of a second chance. She didn't assume that things would go her way. She thought they would have a long talk and she would then be on her way.

"Krillin, I- I just wanted to say that-"

She was abruptly ended not by a punch or kick out of anger but by something so soft hitting touching her lips. It was Krillin's lips. It was those soft lips she had felt in the past however unrequited by her own touch of love. She had felt them before only in passion, not affection. She moaned in pleasure as the bald fighter caressed her tongue as she was more than willing to kiss back.

All the fear of rejection was now leaving her conscious. They both landed on the sand, Krillin ignoring his sore body, continued to kiss her to no end. Both of them intensified the kiss as 18 rubbed the back of Krillin's neck and Krillin wrapped his hands around 18's body. After some time, Krillin needed air and finally let the kiss go. His lips now felt naked. He needed more but realized that there would be more of this in the future.

All too fast, the two began another kissing secession. This time 18 started the kiss. She grabbed his head and crushed his lips against hers. She glided her hands up and down his back trying to feel every emotional comfort form Krillin there was to be had. She let her tongue dance with his passionately.

Krillin on the other hand wasn't expecting it to happen again so soon. His eyes closed as the kiss progressed into something much more. A bond was created and it was no longer just a one way bond which he thought it would be forever. He tried to do what nobody else could do and he succeeded.

"Krillin"

Krillin stopped the kiss and looked up to her when 18 said his name softly full of emotion.

"I love you."

He smiled.

"I love you too."

A/N- Whew! I was really worried I wouldn't finish this fic but low and behold I did. It was a lot of fun writing this fic and even though my grammar needs work, I did good. (hehe) At first this was only to be a oneshot, but that flew out the window with all the positive reviews I got in that first chapter! Then it turned to a drama/angst sort of thing and ended romantically. Very strange. Thanks so much for the read and leave a review! I would love to hear what you all think!

Reviewers…

NANA100- Yep. These feelings are unheard of by 18, so eventually those feelings would be much stonger than artinficialness. Thanks for the reviews.
KillTheBeast- Thanks! You're too kind! I appreciate the feedback.
Arianhrod of Lemuria- Thanks! That is what I was aiming for.
MiShiMaRyU- Thanks! Yeah, FF was having some issues with that earlier. There are still glitches but over all things are working again.

Damex- lol, Krillin is a scardiecat. Thanks for the reviews.
