authors note, this chappie is from piccie-chans POV
I was finding it. I was digging deep and was I coming across it again after all these years. The memories of my father. He was no father to me however, as far as I'm concerned, he was just another weak opponent who fell at the hands of someone stronger. Then why was I searching for all the memories of his I pushed back? I was looking for a clue. And I was close, anxiously close, to finding what I was looking for.
That's when a girl fell out of the sky and landed on me, mid- meditation!
I cussed out loud as I lost all connection I had to that closed door deep within me that contained the memories of Damioh.
So, to take out my anger, I yelled a few obscenities in my native tongue.
Then I felt the lump on top of me, her face down, buried into my neck. I hissed and pushed at her, growling, "Get off of me!"
She rolled over and fell to the ground beside me and I stood up, brushing myself off. "Why the hell did you do that?" I twirled around and saw the girl, sitting straight up, eyes wide and almost vacant.
"Do...what?" I could barely hear her, even with my acute hearing. I looked at her, suddenly curious. Her leg was badly injured, bloods dripping down it into a puddle under her, and she was very blank, so I assumed she was stunned.
"Are you alright?"
She nodded.
I crossed my arms in frustration. "But you're bleeding pretty bad."
She merely looked down at herself. "I guess I am."
I watched as she began to tremble violently.
"Are you in shock?" I realized how stupid a question that was and rephrased, "You aren't acting right." I watched as the girl went into a dizzy spell, and collapsed on the wet leaves below her. "Damn, you're hurt bad!" I had made up my mind and scooped up the child in my arms, taking off for Dende's place.
After a second, I got the first real response out of her. She sat straight up eyes wide, and gasping for air. She looked at her leg, a bit freaked, but she shrugged it off and returned to babbling about getting back to the others. What others? Stupid kids nowadays...go off get hurt and still aren't responsible for their own actions. However, the fact that she wasn't worried about her leg, worried me. Since the fusion with Kami, I've been softer towards humans. But this kid was pissing me off! She was squirming around and I almost dropped her once, then I spat, "STOP MOVING!"
She snarled, rather well for a girl, then retorted, "I'll move if I wanna move!"
I chuckled, "At least you're not in shock anymore." Then again, I would have been more content if she was. She was pretty rude for a little girl.
Her angry gaze turned to me, showing me fiery green eyes and her hair sprayed around her face like a sprinkler. As soon as her eyes met mine, her anger-flushed cheeks went white. My appearance must have been finally registering in that ditsy brain of hers. I smirked, amused at this. I never loved seeing that kind of face enough, and knowing that I still strike some fear in the hearts of these weaklings made me feel more myself. She looked down, realizing we were flying.
"If I wasn't in shock before...I am now..." Her eyes trembled and darted around nervously. She was terrified.
I couldn't wait to dump her at Dende's, as soon as I got this pest off my hands I could get back to meditation and find what I was searching for.
She remained still the rest of the flight there, clutching the scruff of my cape. I guess she was afraid I'd drop her.
"Where am I?" she whispered.
"In the air."
Seeing her face turn red again, obviously mad at me, made me feel more comfortable. I'd rather people fight for themselves than give in and mope.
"No shit Sherlock!" She yelled. "I've beaten up people for less you know!"
I laughed at this. "I'd like to see you try...especially with that broken leg!"
She clenched her teeth, obviously gritting the pain but not yelling out.
"Where are you taking me?"
"To Dende's, he'll heal you then you can go back to wherever you came from."
The girl nodded. "Great, I need to get back..." She paused thinking a moment. "Is this whole place filled with green men?"
"No, just me and Dende." I landed on the lookout, the great expanse of circular tile and stone stretching for quite some distance.
"Good, then I can't be to far from home...this is Japan, right?"
I nodded, more concerned with finding Dende, who within seconds of my arrival, ran out of the temple and towards me. Popo stopped his tending to the flowers, and dropped his watering can upon seeing the bloodied girl in my arms.
"Piccolo, who is this?" The young god asked calmly.
I growled, huffing and dropping the girl on the platform. "How should I know?"
The kid made an ungrateful noise and stared up at me, "Yeah, how would you know? You never even asked, dumb ass! Nice to meet someone so polite!"
Dende snickered and knelt by her while I seethed in my hatred for this kid.
"Yeah, heartless me, rescuing the girl who fell out of the sky and busted her leg. Yeah, I'm so rude!" I turned my back; ready to leave when Dende's voice caught my attention.
"Piccolo, I'd hate to bother you, but could you help me set her leg. I can't heal it like this, she'd be crippled!"
I turned and shrugged, inwardly smirking, knowing this would be very painful for her.
"What is your name, my dear?" Mr. Popo asked, sitting next to her, holding her still as I positioned in front of her, ready to rejoin the broken limb.
"It's Lita, thanks, and you?"
"You may call me Popo, and this," He gestured to the younger Namek, "...is Dende, Gaurdian of Earth."
Lita, smiled as warmly as she could, considering. I quickly jerked her leg back and away from her, resetting it where it belonged, but made sure to give it a good snap in as punishment for insulting me. She bit her lip, tears streaming down her face and she held back sobs.
"And I believe you've met Piccolo..."
Whatcha think? Is Mia doing a good job? Do you want more? Okay! RR!
