Now for the obvious. I DO NOT OWN DBZ, NOR DO I OWN ANY OTHE THE DBZ CHARACTERS! Psht, I wish. If I did. o the possibilities. Did you know dogs can fly? It's true.. Just ask em, they'll tell you, but it's not their fault if you don't understand them.

Chapter 5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Piccolo hovered in the air, watching. The girl was scared. 'Well obviously' he thought. But there was more to her fear than just him. She had been scared about something else. But what? He was sure the brown haired girl had watched the man he had just battled die... so what else was there to be scared about? Whatever it was, he knew it must be terrible. He had seen the amount of fear in her eyes.

* I won't * the words she had spoken ran through the Namek's mind. 'I won't what?' There was much mystery about this girl, and he planned on figuring it all out.

With a grunt of annoyance, Piccolo again took off after the girl.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Natasha flew as fast as her body would allow, which wasn't very fast. But she couldn't stop, she wouldn't. 'I have to keep going. They can't take me away,' the young girl thought, 'no, I wont let them, I didn't mean to. I didn't know..'

But she didn't know how much longer she could keep up her speed. Her energy was fading, fast. Her body ached, her muscles protested every movement she made, and her arm stung from pain from the blast Vitrio had sent to her.

'How did they find me so fast.' That was the last thought that ran through her mind before everything went black. Natasha's unconscious figure fell from the sky. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Piccolo wasn't far behind when he saw Natasha fall. She had passed out.

Swooping down, he caught her in both of his arms moments before she would have hit the ground. Without hesitation, Piccolo turned around and headed back towards his cave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She moaned. Her body hurt. Natasha waited for her senses to return, but the suddenly memories of the night before passed through her mind, and she sat up abruptly, much to the protest of her muscles. She whimpered in pain.

It took a moment for Natasha's eyes to adjust, but when they finally did, she found herself in a cave? 'A cave?' she thought "Where am I?" she muttered out load to no one in particular.

"Rest" Came a gruff, demanding voice.

Natasha gasped. She tried used her arms to crawl backwards, but her arm had not yet healed from the blast, unwillingly she winced in pain as her arm buckled underneath her. Using her good arm, she continued crawling backwards, until she came to the cave's cold stonewall. Pulling her knees up to her chest and hugging them, she sat in fear.

"You need to rest" came the demanding voice again.

The cave was dimly lit, and therefore too dark to see the figure that was speaking to her. But she guessed that the voice belonged to the green man she had seen earlier. Somehow, Natasha found the courage in her to speak "W.Where. am I?"

Piccolo sighed in annoyance. He hated answering questions. And he knew this girl had plenty of them for him, but then again so did he.

"Earth, in my cave. You are in no condition to be asking questions right now. Rest and we will continue this later."

Natasha paid no attention to his demands, but she felt her eyelids getting heavy. "Who are you?"

"REST!" Piccolo barked at her, blaring his fangs a bit. But Natasha didn't notice. She was already fast asleep.







Muahahahah!!! Not much action in this chapter, sorry folks, just stay tuned.

Sorry this took so long to update, but if you havent noticed.. STUPID FANFICTION. STUPID HARDWARE FAILURE! Ugh, grrrr, ive had about enuf of this! But anyway, I couldn't get on to upload my new chaps, not that anyone would be able to get on ff to read them anyway,

Thank you to everyone who is reading my fic!! THANK YOU SOO SOOO MUCH! I can't believe u all take time out of your life to read my fic! Thankyou!

O! and someone ( I cant remember the name and good 'ol fanfiction is shut down so I cant look it up, I think it was DAWN) said that not many people write Piccolo fics, I must agree, but if your low on your Piccolo intake, check out Piccolo0714, if she can't satisfy your piccolo needs, no one can, trust me.

And if anyone can give me 2 evil guy names, I would really appreciate it, and the quicker I get names, the faster these chapters will be dished out. If that doesn't make any sense to you, too bad, it does to me.

Love ya all!

PLEASE REVIEW!!!
