A Change for the Better

18 opened the door to her room, "Hey 17, I'm back."
"So Krillin found out the horror's of shopping with you?"
"Oh shut up!" She walked by him and messed up his hair.
17 rolled his eyes and fixed his hair, then turned to 18 who was starring at herself in a mirror.
"17? Do you think I'm beautiful?"
"Huh? What's the matter with you 18?"
"Just answer my question." She turned to him with an annoyed look about her.
"Well I don't know, you're my sister I don't look at you that way. But that little human and the old man seem to think so. But then again that old man is.well he's different."
18 blushed a little. "What makes you think that Krillin thinks I am?"
"Oh 18 wake up and smell the pheromones. That little runt has been head over heels for you since the day, you kicked Vegeta's ass." 17 smirked as he thought of that.
"You think so?"
17 saw her blushing. "What's it matter to you? Oh don't tell me you."
"Don't be ridiculous, I'm not capable of such things."
"18, just don't let that human get to you."
"Oh, 17 you're being paranoid." She walked over to her bed and laid down.
17 grabbed the crutches, that Bulma had given to him earlier that day, and went over to his bed and laid down as well. "I'm not being paranoid 18, just be careful, I know how these humans can be."
"17 you have nothing to worry about."
"Well I worry about you, ok, you're my sister." With that he turned over and went to sleep.
18 couldn't sleep, she turned over and stared at the door. ~It's nice to be certain that I have at least one person who cares about me. 18 he's the only person who cares about you, you need to get that into your head. Stop thinking about that little human. But.that's all I can think about.~ A tear rolled down her cheek and she quickly wiped it away, ~18 you're becoming weak.~ She pulled the blanket up around her and eventually fell asleep.
***** A couple days passed, Krillin and Gohan were nearly finished with the androids cabin. 17 was beginning too feel much better, and Krillin and 18 hadn't spoken a word to each other. *****
18 stared out the window at Krillin. 17 glanced at her curiously then got his crutches and went over to the window beside her and looked down. All he saw was Krillin training. 18 looked at her brother, and saw the look on his face. "What?!"
17 rolled his eyes, "Nothing." He had a feeling he would be leaving alone.
*****
Krillin was throwing punches and kicks at the air. He stopped when he heard the door open and close, then he turned to see 18 walking out. 18 walked up to him "Get ready for a real training session."
Krillin smirked, he was tired of training alone, and that was the first time 18 had talked to him in days, so he didn't refuse.
They began throwing punches and kicks at each other, and they both pretty much cancelled out each others attacks. Krillin was stronger then he was before the cell games (which is probably why he wasn't already unconscious) but he couldn't quite manage to land a blow. He also didn't fail to notice how close he was to 18, even though it was combat, she was touching him. Suddenly 18 found an opportunity, and she punched him hard in the gut. This stopped him from attacking. As he held his hand over his stomach 18 fired a ki blast at him and he hit the ground hard. She landed on the ground, and Krillin stood up and looked at her, a bit surprised. ~Wow she's being really serious.~ Before he could think 18 had tackled him and pined him to the ground. Krillin stared up at 18 and started to freak out. "C'mon you can get out of this can't you?" 18 looked down at him and smirked. Krillin couldn't think, she was on top of him and he was freaking out. "Why do you look so scared? C'mon baldy you can do better than this can't you?" That remark cleared Krillin's mind a little. He put his hands up to her shoulders and managed to push her over so that she was now on the ground. He grabbed her wrists and held them down. "You should have held my hands down." Krillin smirked. "Well I guess even I can make mistakes." 18 shrugged. "Well I think that was a good session, lets call it a day."
Krillin didn't move, he barley heard her as he looked deeply into her eyes. 18 noticed this and she stared back at him. ~What is he doing? Why do I feel so strangely, I feel so uncomfortable all of a sudden, but I don't want him to leave. I'm so confused, I don't know what to do anymore.~ Tears began to roll down her face. Krillin's eyes widened and he got off of her and helped her sit up. "18 what's wrong."
"I.I don't know. I don't know anything anymore." She covered her face with her hands and sobbed. Krillin didn't know what to do, he had never seen 18 like this. True he hadn't known her long, but he thought he knew her well enough. "18 please talk to me. You can tell me anything, I won't tell anyone."
"Krillin." 18 managed to calm down enough to talk, after a couple of minutes, and she turned and looked at him. "I'm not myself anymore, I'm having these strange emotions that I can't explain and it always happens when I'm with you." Krillin's eyes widened ~could she possibly care for me the way I do her? I can understand her confusion if that's what it is. I know she's not used to most human emotions.~ "18." Krillin took her hand in his, "I'll help you through this, whatever it is." 18's heart raced at Krillin's touch, she felt the blood rush to her face. "Why, 18." He tilted his head to the side and smiled, "You're blushing."
17 had been watching the whole time through the bedroom window. He saw 18 pull away from Krillin and walk back into the house. ~She's fallen. She let her human emotions get to her. I think it's best that we separate and I let her live her own life. She's finally free and should be here, where I know she'll be happy. That little human is what's been missing in her life.~
18 walked in, eyes swollen, and she just laid down on her spot on the floor. "You care for him don't you 18? Don't lie to me, I can tell when you lie."
18 had her back turned to him and made a sound that distinctively sounded like she was crying again. "I don't know 17, I think I do. He's broken whatever barrier I had up against human emotion and now I just feel so helpless and weak. I'm afraid 17." 17 slowly went over to her and sat down beside her. He pulled her hair back out of her face and she turned around and looked at him. "18, it's too late to turn back now, we started off as humans, but our humanity was stolen from us. Your regaining yours, this human means something to you. 18." he bent forward and kissed her on the forehead. "You're my sister and I love you. You mean worlds to me, and you're the only person I care about. That's why I think you should stay here instead of coming back with me."
18's eyes widened "But."
"No buts, tell you what. Stay here for a while, and if you're absolutely miserable and you truly believe you don't care for that human, then come back to me. Just promise you'll try, I want you to be happy." 18 had never seen her brother act so sincere, which made refusing him impossible, "Ok 17." And with that he got himself over to his bed and turned his back to her. 18 wondered what was going through his mind, but didn't dare to ask him. She wiped her eyes, and fell asleep almost instantly.
