The leg was set with a hard jerk, and I felt tears in my eyes. It hurt like hell and it was very hard to keep from screaming, but with this guy here, his names Piccolo I think, I refused to.
I looked up at him. Man...he's tall! And green...but that actually didn't bother me. What did was the fact he was treating me like a child! Geez! I was in high school now! Maybe before the entrance exams, yeah, I was a flake, but now? I am woman and a tough one! He didn't know what he was dealing with...
A gentle hand on my shoulder alerted me from my seething. It was Dende. He was a guardian, if I heard right and he was real sweet!
"Miss Lita," He began, his voice soft and gave evidence of his young age, "If you can hold still, I can heal you."
I nodded, not really knowing what to expect. He hovered his hands over my leg and a soft glow came from them. I felt a tingling on my leg and a smile on my face. It was like the glow of a candle in a dark room. It was very soothing....Then, as if instantly, my legs wound closed up and the pain was gone!
I knew I gasped in shock! I kinda expected to wait at a hospital or something! This was magical! Then again, I should be getting used to the whole idea. I mea, I am a member of the sailor scouts and that was nothing short of amazing...so why was this such a surprise?
"Thank you!" I managed to spit out after I gathered my thoughts.
Dende smiled and his friend Mr.Popo did the same.
"It was a pleasure! Please young lady, no thanks are in order!" Dende looked at me curiously.
"What is it?" I asked, feeling a bit out of place. "Do I have something on my face?" I touched my face in a bunch of areas just to be sure, but he only giggled.
"It's nothing...it's just, I don't recognize your ki."
I blinked. "Ki?"
Piccolo rolled his eyes and `hrmphed' loudly, obviously bored or disgusted. "Ki is a power! An individual life force that all living things possess!"
I was confused, but didn't want to pursue the subject.
I stood up and tested my leg. "So your saying you don't know me. I thought we had established that?" I flashed a smile at the little green boy, and he blushed a cute purple. `Adorable' I thought!
"Well, miss, you see, being guardian, I watch all of the people down on earth and if trouble arises, I arrange help. But you miss, I don't recognize you from all the people below which could only mean you're either from a different planet or a different dimension."
I swallowed. "What do you mean...that is earth down there right? That's where I'm from!" I had to keep myself from yelling. `Rini...the time key...Trista....it make no sense...maybe I'm in another time, the future maybe?'
Dende looked at me honestly. "I can find out for you." H turned and ran to the large pillared building beyond us. "Come with me! I'll need to know some things about you!"
I, without choice, walked after him, adjusting my jean jacket as a stiff breeze rustled the palm trees of the unusual place.
"I'll be leaving..." Piccolo grumbled.
"Wait Piccolo! I need to know the circumstances of which you found her too! Come on!"
I bit my lower lip, smiling as the large green guy spun around and growled angrily. It was so funny to see such a big guy ordered by this little kid!
"What's the matter big boy?" I teased, poking his side as he passed. His stony face contorted into a hard glare. "Afraid of the cute little boy? Do you need some bodyguards?" I chuckled but it turned to a yelp as I felt a sharp pain on my wrist. I looked up to meet Piccolo's eyes burrowing into mine. They were black and devoid of color...I felt my body shake. He had caught my wrist so fast I didn't see him move!
"Listen here little girl..." He snarled. "Don't taunt me...I've killed people for less."
He let me go and continued following Dende into the temple. I was frozen, remembering my words to him earlier. `I've beaten up people for less.' Well, that may be true, but I'd be at the receiving end of the blows with him.
"Piccolo! What did you do to her?"
He walked past Dende as he called him, with no answer leaving his lips.
I swallowed and continued inside.
We ended up at a library of books and papers, and although organized, it was obviously used.
The little boy was already seated at a desk, with a book in his hands.
"Lemme see." He whispered, "Her names Lita, she came just a few hours ago and I've never heard of her..." He began mumbling things in a tongue I couldn't understand, and an orb appeared before him. It shown with the brilliance of thousands of stars, and I quickly forgot my encounter with Piccolo earlier. It was beautiful...
Then before us in the orb, appeared Trista as Sailor Pluto....
