Chapter three! Hai! If you haven't already guessed from the last chapter I like using Japanese, so if I already told you what a particular phrase meant then I won't repeat it. They aren't that hard to remember really.
Warning: G- Just to let ya know at the end I did not mean for it to sound yaoi. They're just FRIENDS! I might change it into yaoi later and call it something different- but only if you guys want me to. Ryo/ Piccolo, yup I'm weird!
(blah blah)- My little quips
~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
The Samurai Troopers and the three strangers sat looking at one another for what seemed like an eternity until…
"Ok, I can't take this anymore!" yelled Shuu. "I have to get something to eat!"
"Oh, thank Dende! I was wonering when it would be dinner time!" cried Kullin just as loud a Shuu. "I'm so hungry I could eat an elephant!"
"Same here, what is it again? Oh yeah, Kullin."
"Iie! Not my kitchen!" yelled nasuti as she ran after them.
"Well, so where are you guys from?" asked Touma in that wonderful New York accent.
"None of your business kid! We were dragged here. This Shu'ten guy didn't even ask us if we wanted to come here." huffed Vegeta, suddenly uncomfortable.
"I agree with Vegeta (nani?) that Shu'ten didn't ask us to come. He just brought us here." Said Piccolo, his turban feeling a bit loose for some reason.
"Oh well, we're sorry about that. You can't really argue with a spirit." Said Ryo.
"Why are you wearing such strange clothing?" asked Seiji, getting a cup of green tea that sat on the coffee table.
"Seiji! Be polite! They're our guests." Said Shin hitting Seiji on the back of his head.
"Oh, that's alright," replied the cool Namek-jin, "It's what we work out in. Vegeta wears his own type of gear, and I wear mine. It's a difference in training style." He then took off his turban because it was becoming so loose that he could hardly keep it from falling over his eyes. It landed with a loud thud on the floor. It wasn't until then that Piccolo realized he wasn't wuite himself. He looked up and saw brown and gold locks of hair…* blink * …hair? "Nani?!" He looked down and saw his hands were a lovely tanish color. He quickly ran his tongue over his teeth, his incisors were still a bit too pointy. A sigh of relief and then ran a hand over his ears and they too were human but still retained a slight point. He didn't have that much of a power decrease, and he suspected it only dropped a couple hundreds.
Upon seeing Piccolo in such a state, Vegeta immediately started laughing, "BWAHAHAHAHA! Piccolo's human! HAHAHAHA!" He was becoming so dizzy with laughter that he didn't even realize he had fallen off the couch and was now laying painfully on something. He stopped his laughter and rolled to his side. He reached behind him to figure out what he had fallen on and found something furry…his tail? Vegeta jumped up and waved his new tail around noting that it was in perfect condition!
Touma asked, shocked, "You have a tail?!"
Vegeta answered him in his usual, well-duh-you-baka-what-do-you-think-you're-staring-at tone of voice, "You must be the genius around here huh?"
It was at that time Kullin, Shuu and Nasuti decided to come out of the kitchen. Had it not been for Nasuti, Kullin would have dropped the plate of cookies he had been holding. Kullin fell down laughing and pointing at Piccolo.
"I don't get it?! Nani? What's so funny!" asked Ryo totally confused.
"He…He's a human! He's supposed to be Namek-jin. Demo…but now he's…he's human!" said Kullin through fits of insane laughter.
"Okay, it's not THAT funny! Damare! Stop!" roared Piccolo and both Kullin and Vegeta stopped laughing at the sudden outburst of rage.
"Fine, Piccolo." Said Vegeta, sitting back down on the couch, trying to dry his tears. Piccolo just walked outside on the balcony.
"Hey! What's your problem! What's so funny. Both of you are human- sort of." Said Touma looking at Vegeta's tail.
"Well, I am," said Kullin, now realizing he had a nose
"I'm not and neither is the Namek-jin." Said Vegeta getting serious, "I am a Saiya-jin from the Planet Vegeta-"
Shuu interrupted, "You mean like your name?!"
Vegeta rolled his eyes and replied, "Yes, like my name you baka! As I was saying, I am a Saiya-jin from the Planet Vegeta-"
Shuu interrupted again, "Like his name!"
Vegeta growled, "Hai! Like my name now Shizuka na!"
Shuu coolly ignored him and began chowing down on the cookies Kullin brought in and almost dropped.
Vegeta rubbed his temples and tried to continue, "I am the prince-"
Nasuti jumped in quickly, "You're a prince! Hontou ni [1]?"
Vegeta is now getting quite annoyed, "Hontou [2]! Would you let me finish!"
Nasuti eeped and shut her mouth
Vegeta replied , "Good. My planet was destroyed long ago by a Ice-jin named Frieza. Revenge soon came to him by way of one of my own people. A third-class Saiya-jin named Kakkarot, who was sent to Chikyuu in order to destroy it and get it ready for sale. However, this never occurred so he stayed on Chikyuu and is now named Goku and has a brat of his own. I soon settled as well and have a son." The saiya-jin's eyes gleamed with pride in this son. "The Namek-jin's story I do not know. He hasn't ever told anyone. I doubt you will know more than I do and that is that he is a great fighter who is to be respected. In my opinion to go from a mystical Namek-jin warrior to the uselessness of your kind is a giant leap down. I will tell you that his appearance has greatly changed. He had green skin, pointy ears and teeth and even has antennae." With all that said Vegeta got up from the couch and gruffly asked, "Have any food in this sty?"
When he stood up it was then that Shuu, Kullin and Nasuti realized he had a tail.
Nasuti jumped up and pointed at it. "What is that!"
"Sugoi [3]! You got your tail back!"
Nasuti and Shuu just stared at it.
Vegeta, quiet amused by all of this said, "Oh yeah, and Saiya-jins have tails. That's the main reason that we look so different from humanoids."
"But why didn't Shu'ten have that removed as well? I mean he made Piccolo human. So why not make you more human as well?"
Kullin quipped, "Yeah! He gave me a nose!"
Shin whispered, "You didn't have a nose?"
"Nope!"
"I didn't have one in my world. It was cut off a long time ago. I guess with all the changes he was making with Piccolo and Kullin that he got a bit carried away, and grew my tail accidentally."smirked Vegeta, "Kono yarou [4]. Where's my food, onna [5]!"
Nasuti glared at him, but showed him the way to the kitchen where she and everyone else in the room stared at the Prince consume large amounts of food.
"Hey? Where's Ryo?" asked Touma.
"Outside with Piccolo" said Kullin, still mesmerized by Vegeta's table manners, "So, tell me about this Arago person we are supposed to fight."
Meanwhile, out on the balcony,
~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*
Ryo stepped outside to see what the problem was with Piccolo. Byakuen followed loyally behind Ryo. Piccolo was leaning against the railing staring out into space. "I don't think being human is all that bad."
Piccolo smirked. "You wouldn't, you are a human. But, you're right, it isn't. But obviously vegeta and Kullin think it's the funniest thing in the world. Hey…"
Piccolo turned to face Ryo and it was then that Ryo realized Piccolo had deep green eyes. The kind of eyes that could look straight through you and into your soul, seeing who you really are. He gasped.
Piccolo cocked and eyebrow ridge, "What?"
Ryo smiled, "Naw, it's nothing. You just have green eyes, that's all."
"Really?"
"Hai."
"Hey, just wondering but are you and the Nasuti girl dating?"
Ryo blushed as red as his shirt and weakly answered, "Hai. We were really careful in trying to keep it a secret from the other guys. How did you tell?"
Piccolo smirked (He does that a lot doesn't he! Oh well, it's his trademark! ^-^), "Call it a gift. I just saw how you look at her and how she looks at you and out two and two together."
"How old are you?"
"Nani?"
He repeated the question, "How old are you?"
"I'm 15 years old, but I was this age before I came here, but Vegeta and Kullin werw much older than I was. Now, they seem to be around the same age physically. Dooshite [6]?"
"Well, the troopers are around 15 and 16 ourselves. Shu'ten probably just didn't want you guys to be so much older than us. I mean we are only teenagers. But, if you are only 15 years old how could you have acquired senses as acute as your own?"
Piccolo resisted the urge to sigh and hastily replied, "Now's not the time. I'd rather not say."
"Gomen nasai, Piccolo-kun. I just wondered because you spoke with such wisdom. And wisdom only comes through experience. I see now you must have gone through a lot to understand so much about life."
"I see you have some wisdom of your own, Ryo." Maybe this 'nice' thing isn't so bad. I could learn a lot from Kami; As much as I hate to admit it. Standing out there in the moonlight, a deep trust and bonded friendship was formed between the two warriors. Their friendship was everlasting.

See what I mean by yaoi? The last couple of paragraphs were kinda if-y. Just to let you know yet again, that this is NOT a yaoi fic. I might make it shounen- ai, ut only if I have enough people wanting it to be such. Other than that, please R&R! It might take me a while to get the next couple of chapters up- I'm having a problem with my compooter (my way of spelling computer! ^-^). Ta Ta for Now! * glomps Piccolo and snuggles in his cape *
[1]- Really? Do you mean it?
[2]- It's the truth. Really.
[3]- Wow! Cool!
[4]- Dumb Idiot.
[5]- Woman! (used by Wufei from GW often.)
[6]- Why?
