Kami peered over the edge of the Lookout.
"Here he comes!"
The group smiled excitedly, keen to hear about the outcome of the date.
Kami looked closer at Piccolo, and noticed him carrying Kate.
"Oh no."
Dende sensed Kate's low ki level, and quickly rushed to meet Piccolo.
Dende carefully looked her over- trying not to wake her.
"She will be fine. She just needs to rest." He then looked at Piccolo's eye. "Piccolo what-"
"It doesn't matter."
Piccolo slowly walked to the guest bedroom.
He sat on the bed, unsure of what to do. He was worried that if he placed her down- she would wake up.
The Namekian warrior swung his legs onto the bed and leaned his head back against the headboard- Kate still in his arms.
He played back the incident in his head. The man had to be Kate's ex.
"You had better look after her."
Piccolo grit his teeth- angry that the stranger had the nerve to say that, when he was the one who had hurt her...and by the looks of Kate's condition- in more ways than one.
Kate snuggled into him.
Piccolo sighed. He couldn't help the emotions he was currently feeling.
I'll look after you.
He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Kami peeked through a crack in the door.
My boy, you're changing.
He smiled before closing the door.
