Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ! *Sigh* Sorry.
A/N: Wow! I got 3 reviews already! Thank you all! I didn't think I would get three already! ^_^ Oh and b/t/w, the two new characters will only be in here for a couple of chapters and then maybe one or two more later. Thanks for reading and please review!
The scenery rushed past him in a blur as he ran as far as he could away from the house. He ran for what seemed like hours but were only minutes until his legs finally gave way and he fell forward tumbling down a steep grassy hill. The world swirled around him, then slowly came to a stop.
"Are you okay?" A voice called from the distant.
"I think he's dead." Another voice snickered.
The boy jumped up and scrambled to his feet. Two girls stood in the distant staring at him with wide eyes. The girls looked to be roughly around the same age, the one on the right was that tallest and had jet-black hair that stopped at her shoulders. The girl on the left was about a foot shorter than the girl on the right and had long dark brown hair with bangs that stuck out in odd angles.
"He is alive!" Shouted the shorter girl and ran a hand through her hair trying to smooth it out.
"I knew that!" The other girl snapped and shook her head.
The boy looked over his shoulders and then back over at the girls, cautiously he took a step forward crossing his arms over his chest. The shortest girl smiled and walked up to him.
"Hi! My name's Kiseki! What's yours?"
The boy stumbled backwards a few steps glaring warily at the two girls. The taller girl jumped and ran up next to Kiseki.
"I'm Tora!" She said and smiled at the boy before glaring down at Kiseki.
"Pi… Piccolo." The boy stuttered then re-folded his arms across his chest. "My name's Piccolo." He repeated with a nod.
Kiseki smiled brighter. "Say Piccolo, you're not from around here, are you?"
Tora jabbed Kiseki in the ribs with her elbow and scowled.
"What?" Kiseki jumped hissing at Tora. "I meant, I've never seen him around here before."
"I'm not." Piccolo jumped in. "I'm new here."
Kiseki and Tora both looked at Piccolo with suspicions but pushed them aside.
"What happened to you? You're bleeding and your face is all bruised." Kiseki frowned sadly at him noticing the various sized cuts and bruises all over Piccolo's face and arms.
Piccolo winced and wiped away some of the dry blood from his face.
"Nothing." He said and turned away. "I was careless and got hit in the face by a branch."
Kiseki furrowed her eyebrows and tilted her head to the side.
"So, Piccolo, where are you staying?" Tora asked shaking her head at Kiseki knowing that she wouldn't accept his answer.
Kiseki stared blankly at Tora then sighed and turned back to Piccolo.
Piccolo sighed and took a step forward then turned around.
"I… I'm not sure." He stuttered and then lowered his eyes to the ground in embarrassment. "Actually I'm traveling by myself and haven't found a place to stay at yet."
"You can stay with me if you want." Kiseki smiled looking over at Tora. "I'll have to ask my mom but I'm sure it'll be okay."
Tora nodded and then smiled at Piccolo. "If not you can stay with me and my brother. Don't worry you'll have some place to stay."
Piccolo smiled a little and nodded. "Okay."
Piccolo lay awake in a small room with an open window, dresser and wooden walls. It reminded him of his room but without the wooden walls, his walls were white. He stared up at the ceiling a feeling of dread washed over him and he shivered pulling the blankets up to his neck unconsciously. A light tap on the door startled him and he sprang from the bed. Slowly the door opened and Kiseki stepped in looking around. Piccolo sighed in relief and sat back down on the bed.
"Sorry if I bothered you." Kiseki whispered. "Just wanted to see if you were okay." She said turning around and started to walk back out the door.
"Wait!" Piccolo whispered and Kiseki stopped and looked over her shoulder. "You can stay."
Kiseki smiled and walked back into the room and sat down on the bed.
"You're running away from someone aren't you?" Kiseki asked raising an eyebrow.
Piccolo looked down at the ground in embarrassment. "How could you tell?" He whispered and looked back up at Kiseki.
"You just seem nervous like someone is looking for you and you don't want to be found."
Piccolo looked away from Kiseki and bowed his head and nodded.
"Same person that made that bruise on your face?"
Again Piccolo nodded swallowing. "Yes." He muttered.
Kiseki frowned and sighed looking out the window.
"Who?" She whispered then looked back at Piccolo who had his eyes squeezed shut.
"My father." Piccolo whispered then opened his eyes and stared at the wall. "Actually he wasn't even my father. I was found in the woods when I was a baby." Swallowing he continued keeping his gaze on the wall. "I thought he was going to kill me this time. He said he wished he would have just left me for the animals to eat."
Kiseki looked back at Piccolo sadly. "What did you do that made him hurt you?"
"I went down to the river a couple of minutes away from my house." He sighed.
Kiseki raised her eyebrows in surprise. "That's it?"
Piccolo nodded bowing his head again. Kiseki stared at him quietly for a moment before speaking again.
"Mind if I ask you a something? I mean…"
"Why I'm green?" Piccolo looked up surprising Kiseki.
She nodded and Piccolo shook his head staring at the wall again.
"I'm not sure. I guess I'm an alien. I have some memories of things that hadn't even happened to me. Kinda like visions I guess."
Kiseki smiled and tilted her head a little. "Wow. I've never met an alien before."
Piccolo looked at Kiseki again in shock and then shook his head smirking a little.
Kiseki looked down at the floor in thought then back up at Piccolo again.
"Can I tell you something?" She whispered.
Piccolo nodded giving Kiseki his full attention.
"Earlier today I heard my mom talking on the phone about you."
Piccolo raised an eyebrow. "About me?"
Kiseki nodded. "Yea, she said that you looked a lot like this Piccolo Damaio guy. And when I asked her later about it she told me that it was nothing."
"You think that there are more people like me then?" Piccolo asked with some newfound hope.
Kiseki nodded. "Probably. I mean, you can't be the only one left."
Piccolo smiled and sighed. "Then maybe I'm not alone here on this crummy planet."
Kiseki startled a bit and looked up at Piccolo who smiled at her. She smiled back and shook her head. "No you're not."
Standing up she stretched a little and glanced at the clock.
"Whoa! It's really late, I'll see you in the morning, okay?"
Piccolo nodded.
Kiseki smiled and walked out the door. "Good night." She whispered and vanished down the hallway.
"Night." Piccolo whispered and crawled back into bed.
