Knock. Knock.
"Who could that be?" wondered Trunks. He glanced at Krillan who went to the door and opened it. Then he narrowed his eyes as he saw who was at the door. The monk backed away from the door, shaking in fear.
"Can Goku come out and play?" a male voice questioned.
Duo smirked slightly and walked to the door cheerfully resting his hand on the door. "What ever your sellin, we don't want it!" Duo grinned and slammed the door shut with a 'BANG'. He dusts the imagionary dust off his hands. He blinked when he noticed everyone staring at him.
"What? What'd I do?" he said, looking confused.
Yamcha stared at him then grabbed Duo's braid and pulled hard, "Itai!" Duo glared at him. 'Who-the-hell does this guy think he is? NO ONE touches my hair!' He fumed silently, wondering what delightful torture he could inflict on this mortal. And, he reminded himself, he still had to get baldy back for calling him a girl. No one calls him a girl! That's like Heero talking more then 20 words a month or Wufei wearing a pink toto! Just, wrong! Okay he admitted it to himself, he looked a little feminine. But being called a girl? That's taking it a bit too far!
"Are you NUTS! You just slammed the door in the face of android #17! You got a death wish or something?" yelled Yamcha. His breath came out in a 'whoosh' out of him as his eyes widen and he hunched over, letting go of Duo's hair. Duo Maxwell stood straight again, smirking at Yamcha and pushed his fingertip against his forehead. 'Timber!' he thought silently as Yamcha fell to the ground, holding his hands protectively over his private area.
"I'm not nuts, but it looks like yours have a death wish." He chuckled silently at the irony of that. "Don't touch the hair man!"
Trunks winced, looking at Yamcha's pained face. 'Mental note: Do not get this boy mad.' Trunks breathed out hard through his nose, causing a snorting sound. "Wasn't that a bit extreme for someone touching your hair?" He looked over at Duo, who flicked his braid over his shoulder.
"Not really." He grinned at Trunks disarmingly and Trunks' cheeks tinted pink in a chaste blush and he looked away.
They all hear yelling sounds outside and went to look.
"You, me, over there on that island!" snarled Piccolo as he pointed to the island he wanted to fight android #17 at. His cape flared in the wind as he glared at the android.
#17 smirked and shrugged his shoulders. "Alright. This won't take too long. When were finished you'll tell us where Goku is." He folded his arms in a relaxed pose. His neon green socks standing out brightly in the sun of the afternoon.
Piccolo glared at the arrogant android. 'He reminds me too much of Vegeta.' He smirked at the thought and glared back at the house and narrowed his eyes at the idiots who were just gawking out the window at them. He noticed the God of Death wasn't with them. 'He probably knows what is happening already and doesn't want to stand like a fool with their mouth hanging open. Smart god.'
"Listen you idiots! I'm going to go fight #17 and don't try to interfer! Got it?" He powered up and blasted up into the sky and towards the island. His cape flapped wildly behind him in the wind. The androids grinned at the others before floating up into the sky and following Piccolo.
He watched the figure covered in shadows, fought the androids. His eyes showed confusion as he gazed at the figure who appeared to have glowing eyes and a large weapon in hand. He rushed at the androids, trying to help this person but each time he punched or kicked, he would go right through them! Suddenly he saw Trunks who was illuminated by the light in the back round behind him as he stood in the doorway. He raised the sword slowly then narrowed his eyes and attacked the androids, head on!
He choked in shock as he watched Trunks fall to the ground, run through with his own sword and the figure covered in shadowed cried in anguish and he exploded in power lighting up the whole landscape. Before he was blinded by intense light that radiated off the figure in the shadows, he caught a glimpse of intense violet eyes full of loneliness, sadness, and pain.
He shot up quickly in his futon. Looking around confused. His hand covered the area of his heart and he felt it beat normally. Goku sighed in relief and got up out of bed. He stretched, working out all the kinks he got from the convulsing he did during heart attacks. He grinned cheerfully and felt his power was stronger then before. He wanted to test it, feel it course through his hands! He jumped out the window and started his 'Kamehameha' technique.
Duo tilted his head to the side, listening again. 'So, Son Goku is awake! Poor guy, having a heart attack and all must suck. That's one guy I would hate to take to Styx.' He thought, watching Trunks, Krillan, and the others figure out who was to go check out a mysterious power level that appeared out of no where and it had everyone's ki. He chewed on his lip and eyed Trunks up and down. He yelled to himself mentally, 'Damn Maxwell! Down boy, down!' It seemed his hormones replied 'Kiss my ass.' as he continued to check out the purple-hair child from the future.
'Just my luck I had to work with a guy who looks like he walked outta' some person's wet dream. But hey, I ain't complainin. What was that saying? "Look, but don't touch. Touch but don't feel. Feel, but don't love." Or somethin like that. I was never good at schoolwork anyway. Who wants to learn about guys dead for centuries?' He grinned to himself and listened to what the others were saying again.
"...go and check it out." Replied Krillan looking at Yamcha.
"Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to go train some more. You guys can go check it out." Yamcha walked out the room. Chichi walked up the stairs to go check on Goku.
"GOKU!" she yelled from upstairs. Everyone panicked and ran upstairs to see what was happening. Duo calmly walked outside and shut the door behind him and leaned against the porch beam, watching Goku practice in the back. He glanced up at the window to see them all looking out the window and notice Goku was up and practicing with his new power. He focused on the purple-hair beauty and kept on with his daydreams.
"Pass the popcorn!" yelled Aphrodite as she sat in front of the T.V looking box. All the rest of the gods of Mt. Olympus surrounded her and the couch she was sitting on.
"Here, Aphro." Hermes passed her the popcorn bowl. "I really don't think this is a good idea, spying on them like this. It isn't right." He looked worried like they were all about to be caught by Shinigami but that was impossible, seeing-as Cupid has him occupied with a mortal.
"I don't see you walking away, Herm." Aries chuckled and gulped down his soda. "You want to know what happens to the little guy just as much as the rest of us! So cut-out the goody-to-shoes act and grab a seat!" He grinned at the blushing god.
"Stop teasing him Aries, and be quiet so we can hear!" Zeus glared at Aries before watching the T.V screen again. "Your so loud that it would be impossible to hear what's going on."
"Ah, HA! I told you Shinigami would be a perfect match with Trunks from the future. But nooo, no one believes me! I'm the goddess of love for crying out loud! Like that old saying goes 'Life is like a box of oranges. You never know what taste you'll get!'"
Hermes sighed and didn't even bother trying to correct her. But that didn't stop Aries from butting-in of course. "That's 'Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.' You moron! Can't you ever think before you speak? When you say something, say it right!"
She rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Same difference!" She grinned and winked at Aries. He rolled his eyes to the ceiling. 'Women. Hmph!'
"SHHH! I'm TRYING to watch the show here!" yelled Zeus who was still watching the T.V screen.
Hermes watched them all and sighed. He sat down next to them and grabbed some popcorn and started to munch down on it, watching the T.V screen too. 'If you can't beat em,' he thought dejectedly. 'Join em.'
