Times in the live of an Cyborg
Chapter 3
Krillin just stood there not really realising what he had heard the moment
before. Never grow old! Forever young! He hadn't thought of this. As a
cyborg with an eternal energy generator 18 would live forever while he
would die some day and leave her alone. His ideal was always to marry a
nice woman (optical attractiveness was not so important.) and have
children. And then after a long life he wanted to live like an old couple
in a village and tell the youngsters of his adventures. He wanted to live
like his grandparents. His grandparents where always so happy when he came
to visit them. He admired them for their happiness and the love they still
shared. But his situation was different. The age difference between himself
and 18 wasn't so big at the moment maybe 5 to ten years. It was okay to him
at the moment but what would be in twenty years. He would be about 40 and
she would still look like 18 years old. The people maybe would think that
she is his daughter. What an idea. But he didn't felt uncomfortable with
it. That could become really funny. I would be really happy if I could live
with her as long as I could. Maybe I can come back like Goku's Grandpa did
and visit her.
18 got more and more inpatient. She hated to wait. Whatever it had been she
wanted, she had to have it right now when she wanted it. And watching
somebody think wasn't on the list of favourites. Well she gave Krillin the
time he needed which didn't mean she had to like it. When she nearly
couldn't take it anymore he finally spoke "I don't have a problem with you
being immortal. Could be funny. I told you I want to live with you till I
die. And you could still follow me even though I don't want you to be
killed."
Krillin's answer was satisfying and 18 nearly smiled. "Thank you" She just
whispered. Krillin heard it. He had good ears. They were nothing compared
to Piccolo's. "You're welcome. So where do you live? I mean do you have a
place to stay?" "I live here" Her usual tone nearly made him collapse. "But
wouldn't it be more comfortable to sleep in a warm bed and have warm food?"
18 was surprised. Sometimes Krillin is more innocent than a fife-year-old.
But it's good and a bit stupid that he doesn't really see that I'm just a
bit more a bit less than a machine /a Cyborg. 18tried to be nice which was
really hard. "Well to be honest normally I don't need to "sleep" or eat."
"Doesn't matter. I just wanted to know whether you want to live with me at
the Kame-house" "Oh! Yes I want to live with you. It's better than a forest
isn't it? But tell this disgusting old man and the piece of ham to stay
away from me. I don't want to cause trouble but I'll crush every bone in
their bodies and there won't be enough senzus to heal them." "Okay I'll
tell them. But I think that they won't come close to you. They are already
so afraid of you that they doesn't even dare to stand in your shadow." "I
hope so. A bit fear can be really satisfying." 18 grinned. Krillin didn't
like this. He remembered how frightened he was when he first saw her. He
was frightened and head over heels at the same time. That was really funny.
"Let's go" she said suddenly. Patience and 18 doesn't work Krillin thought.
He smiled and they flew off.
