The first girl just stared at us weirdly, like she didn't trust us, I could understand why too. Then she turned her attention to the door. Could she have sensed the others also? If so then she was stronger then her energy level showed. Chichi walked in then, "Hey what was that sound.... Who are they?" None of us took our eyes off the strange girls to answer her.
Just as the others landed right outside our house, they first girl stood up and the second girl started chanting "Lightening Flash!". Then there was a flash and a surge in energy and a crash. It all happened so fast, I wasn't sure what happened. When my eyes cleared up from the light, I looked over to the door. Vegeta had chosen that exact moment to walk in, so he was swearing very loudly, which triggered Chichi to smack him with her frying pan.
"Can you sense her any more?" Gohan asked me. "Very weakly... but it seems they ran into the forest." I replied. "Let's go." I nodded and we flew out the hole in the wall that the girls had made. It took awhile but we finally got a clear signal their energy. "TRUNKS!" Gohan had to yell over the wind. I looked over, "WE SHOULD LOWER OUR ENERGY, I THINK THAT FIRST GIRL CAN SENSE ENERGY!" "GOOD IDEA!" With that we lowered our energy down to almost nothing, which caused their speed to decrease a little. "They seem to be slowing down, but they sure made fast tracks for just being on their feet." Thanking god we no longer had to yell I replied, "Yeah, look! They must be resting by that lake. Let's land here." Gohan nodded and we landed a few feet away from the lake and watched for the girls.
Soon enough, they came out to the left of them. The first larger girl had carried the second girl, and she didn't even look tired. She set down the other girl and kneeled by the lake to get a drink of water. "I think we're safe, you can just talk to me normally." 'Normally?' Gohan thought about it for a second. The second girl joined the first one by the lake, spreading her priestess skirts around her. The moon reflected off her black hair and made her very beautiful in Trunks eyes.
"Hono'o, how are we ever gonna get home?" 'AH! So their not from around here.... and the first one is Hono'o.' "I don't Chi, maybe if we find that laughing dude. He seemed to know how to get us here, maybe we can get him to send us back." "And how you gonna do that one?" Hono'o smirked and cracked her knuckles. Chi laughed a little and then sighed. Hono'o put her arm around Chi's shoulder and the boys saw something else move. A tail? No.... YES! A tail had just rapped itself around Chi's waist. 'That means... no, she can't be!' This thought ran through both of the boys heads.
"What about those men?" Gohan and Trunks' attention was drawn back to realty. "I don't trust them." Hono'o's voice was kind of sharp. "Why? Did you sense something wrong with them?" Hono'o didn't respond right away. "Pu?" "They seemed all right, I mean they had great power levels and all." 'So she can sense power levels! But it seems Chi can't.' "Their souls seemed clean too. But it was just..." Chi looked at Hono'o with concern, "But what?" Hono'o sighed, "It was the others that were coming, they were all pretty much strong, give or take one or two. But the strongest two, they were corrupted, like past evils." There was a pause, "I don't know. It just didn't seem right. That's what I was scared about." Chi laughed, "You scared? That's a first." Hono'o frowned, "It's not a laughing matter, we're in serious trouble." Chi's laugh stopped. "I know."
Gohan's leg was falling asleep, he moved it and stepped on a twig. "Shhhhh..." Trunks put his hands over his mouth, and looked back over to the girls. Hono'o was looking right at them. "Oh shit...."

'This isn't good.' I thought to Hono'o. 'I know.' She all of a sudden looked over to the window. 'What is it, Hono'o?' She stood up, 'There is more coming, we need a cover, and fast!' 'I've got it!' I started my light spell, while Hono'o gathered some energy for one of those energy balls she played with all the time. "Lightening Flash!" I released my blinding spell and Pu blasted a hole in the wall of the strange house. She then picked me up and ran out the hole. 'We need to get as far away as we can.' 'Ok.' I put my arms around her neck to stop some of the bumps she was hitting.
'Can feel any water around here?' 'Give me a minute.' Priestess Neko taught me how to do this once. What you did was ask for the spirits around you to guide you to what you wanted. 'Spirits of water, please guide me to your home.' With that a little blue light came up if front Hono'o and matched her pace and guided the girls to a large lake, and then disappeared into the water. 'Thank you.'
Hono'o set down Chi and kneeled by the lake to get a drink of water. "I think we're safe, you can just talk to me normally." Chi joined Hono'o by the lake, spreading her priestess skirts around her.
"Hono'o, how are we ever gonna get home?" "I don't Chi, maybe if we find that laughing dude. He seemed to know how to get us here, maybe we can get him to send us back." "And how you gonna do that one?" Hono'o smirked and cracked her knuckles. Chi laughed a little and then sighed. Hono'o put her arm around Chi's shoulder and placed her tail around Chi's waist. Chi laughed a little as she was tickled by it. 'Your tail is still soft.' Hono'o smiled down at Chi, 'You'll always be my best friend won't you?' Chi smiled back, 'Of course.'
"What about those men?" Chi asked, back into regular talk. "I don't trust them." Hono'o's voice was kind of sharp. "Why? Did you sense something wrong with them?" Hono'o didn't respond right away. "Pu?" Chi used her nickname for Hono'o. "They seemed all right, I mean they had great power levels and all." Hono'o took a breath and continued. "Their souls seemed clean too. But it was just..." Chi looked at Hono'o with concern, "But what?" Hono'o sighed, "It was the others that were coming, they were all pretty much strong, give or take one or two. But the strongest two, they were corrupted, like past evils." There was a pause, "I don't know. It just didn't seem right. That's what I was scared about." Chi laughed, "You scared? That's a first." Hono'o frowned, "It's not a laughing matter, we're in serious trouble." Chi's laugh stopped. "I know."
Hono'o then heard a twig snap and then a shhhhh. "Oh shit...." Hono'o stared right at the place where she heard the noise. 'Damn, they followed us!' 'Maybe they can read power levels too?' 'Looks like it, ready?' Hono'o didn't wait for an answer, she scooped up Chi and started running. 'Why are we running again?' 'Because I can't protect you from both of them. Ok here's the plan.' Hono'o stopped and put Chi down. 'Keep running that way, I'll hold them off and then ditch them and then find you. And keep your energy low! Go!' Chi nodded, hiked up her skirts and kept running on without Hono'o. 'And now up I go.' Hono'o jumped into a near by tree.
"Damn she runs fast!" Gohan couldn't believe how fast she took off. "No time for that, she's moving fast and I'm losing her energy signal fast!" Trunks then took off, followed closely by Gohan. He slowed down, "I lost her, but she must be around here some where..." Trunks was cut off by elbow to the back. The blow was so hard that he fell to the ground, who ever hit him was very strong. He looked up in time to see a blur hit Gohan in the same way. "Found her." Gohan said as he got up.
"Why can't you guys just leave us alone!" Neither of the boys could sense her very well, her low power level keep moving all around the place. "This girl is really fast...." Gohan said again, "We don't want to hurt you, we think we could help you!" The girl dropped down in front of them. "Then why are you raising your power level? Probably to alert your other friends to where we are. And then you'll know that I'm out numbered, and I'll just give my self up? I think not!" Gohan slapped Trunks over the head, he had just now realized that he had been raising his power, and probably exactly for what the Hono'o girl had said.
"You can't trust anyone these days." Hono'o got into a fighting position, "I won't let it happen again!" She started to focus her energy and raise it. "Damn it Trunks, you really got her pissed!" Trunks sweat dropped, "It wasn't me." "Sure it was." "Oh man, look at that!" Trunks made Gohan look back at Hono'o, her power had more than tripled and her hair was flickering blonde. "Whelp, she's a sayin-jin!" Gohan only nodded his head, this woman, not even from around here had just turned super sayin-jin! He couldn't believe it. Then his attention turned to the horizon, and the power levels that were coming. This was going to end badly......
