Chapter 37- Fusion

Kami's eyes opened quickly when he felt Piccolo and Yusagie's power drawing near. Kami knew he was coming. He knew Piccolo was finally ready.

Flashing before Kami's eyes, they landed on the tiles of Kami tower. "Hello Piccolo-" Kami said in a low tone. "Hello Yusagie."

Yusagie didn't want to think about Kami leaving, it wasn't real to her yet, but walking ahead of Piccolo, she took the opportunity to get to Kami first, and embraced him in a hug.

The old man held her back, and this made Piccolo almost jealous knowing she had always loved Kami. "I love you." She said in a quiet tone with a hint of tears in her voice.

"And I love you." Kami had no problem admitting back that she was the one and only woman he had ever loved. And when she parted, she walked past him, not even looking back at Piccolo, and headed down the hall.

When she had, Kami looked up at his other half ."You know what we have to do old man." Piccolo snarled with some anger.

Kami nodded "yes, I do"

"Where did Yusagie Go?" Piccolo asked looking around. He couldn't sense her. Piccolo sighed He didn't want her to have to see them fuse, but there was no choice. "Now old man, we need to fuse" he raised his voice and clenched his fist in anger.

Kami turned his back to Piccolo.

"Not Yet, I cannot Piccolo." he closed his eyes

"WHAT?" Piccolo screamed.

"Not until I know that it is entirely necessary." Kami replied.

"It is!" yelled Piccolo "the earth is in danger." How did Kami not get that? There were androids here.

Kami ignored him. For a moment and closed his eyes. "More than you know. Something new has arrived, something is seriously wrong with earth."

"What do you mean?" Piccolo's eyes widen as he asked. Was it Yusagie's people again?

"Listen—when we fuse, you will have my memories, and with memories come emotion, you know this right?" Kami opened his eyes, his face stern and severe with Piccolo.

Piccolo nodded his head. "Yes." He understood what came with it, all the implications, but he needed to be whole again, he needed to help defeat the androids.

Dropping his staff, the old Namek approached Piccolo. "Place your hand on my chest." he ordered, and Piccolo did so. It was a matter of seconds for Kami to initiate the transfer.

From a distance Yusagie watched the sparks come from both their bodies through a heated and bright transformation. Together, the two Nameks fused into one body, leaving Piccolo remaining, and Kami gone.

Yusagie couldn't help but feel sad as the man she once cared for was now forever gone. His kindness since she had been there, she appreciated more than he could have ever known.

As soon as Piccolo adjusted to this new feeling, the feeling of having such power, so many new emotions, so many new memories, he looked over to see the woman he had cared about for the last three years, yet could never tell her, he could never say anything to her about it. Goku was right, he was right all along. And now, with Kami apart of his personality, telling her would never be an issue.

Yusagie couldn't hold back her cries this time as she watched Kami vanish. Piccolo knew this, he could sense her sadness.

Turning around he looked at her as she stood around the corner. She saw the whole thing and he knew it.

With his arms in an open gesture for a hug, she ran to him and embraced the man she missed the most. She loved Kami, but Piccolo, she was in love with him.

"When this is over and done with-" Piccolo spoke in a low voice as his heart throbbed watching her cry, knowing he had been hurtful and never gave her a chance at forgiveness.

"- We will be a family."

Yusagie parted from him when he said these words. She didn't believe him, yet she wasn't sure she wanted to be a family. That would take mending for them both, and that took time.

"Piccolo I—" Yusagie began to speak out against this idea, but she was interrupted by a sudden kiss as his lips gently touched hers. She let it happen. She let his lips slide with her in a battle with one another, tasting his mouth in their everlasting kiss.

He wanted to keep going, Piccolo wanted to keep kissing her, to touch her body, and she loved every minute of his hands on her. Breaking the sudden kiss he whispered. "I need to go—" He did, he had a new enemy on earth, and it was stronger than the androids.

Yusagie nodded, without any words she agreed as he backed away from her, flying off of the tower.
