She lay there on her side with her head propped up on her hand, unaware of the presence of watchful eyes. The area was peaceful for now so 18 figured she should enjoy it before the battle began.
"Greetings Android." She smiled at the familiar voice.
She got to her feet, "Greetings Princess."
They both gave a slight chuckle and embraced in a friendly hug. "I'm so glad you came Miyu."
"I'm glad that you got a hold of me. So when is he going to come."
"I can't be sure, hopefully not before Gohan finishes his training."
"Is this guy really that bad? Why can't you and me just take him?"
"I don't know. I have a bad feeling about him."
"Well maybe you should go and wait for Gohan and tell him where we are."
18 nodded, "Alright. But you be careful."
"Don't worry about me, I can take care of myself."
18 arched a brow, "Gee, where have I heard that before?"
Miyu scowled, "Hey that wasn't my fault and you know it."
"Sure." 18 rose into the air, waved at her friend then took off.
She came to a stop and gently landed on the ground. She walked past the small Namek, who didn't even bother to ask her why she was there. As she approached the door to the time chamber she sighed. ~Guess he's still in there.~ She sat down and waited.
After a couple hours Gohan walked out. He was wearing slightly torn and broken saiyan armor and he had his usual training gi folded neatly in his hand. He looked down at the sleeping android wondering how long she had been there. "18? Wake up."
18 opened her eyes and sat up. "Oh. Sorry, must not have gotten enough sleep last night." She got to her feet, stumbled backwards and would have fallen had Gohan not been there to stop her.
"18 are you alright?"
18 took much effort to stand up straight, "I'm great." she lied.
"If you say so. . ."
"I do. Now come on lets go."
They landed by Miyu, who was training herself by punching and kicking at the air. She stopped and turned to the two, "It's about time."
18 shrugged, "Sorry."
Gohan walked over to the lake, set down his gi and took off his saiyan armor before jumping in.
18 blinked then covered Miyu's eyes, "Hey that's my man."
Miyu blushed then took 18's hand away and turned to face the opposite direction. ~Honestly, I wish he'd be more modest about that sort of thing.~
After a couple of minutes Gohan got out and put on his training gi. 18 nudged Miyu and whispered, "It's ok now."
Miyu turned around and was immediately greeted, "Been a while Miyu."
"Yeah."
They all sat down and started catching up. After a while 18 noticed herself becoming weaker and she started sweating badly. The other two were too involved in their conversation about battle techniques to notice, until 18 started leaning towards Gohan. She collapsed in his arms. He pulled her on to his lap, "18?!" He looked down at her arms, the sleeves of her shirt were starting to get damp as they turned red. He pulled up one of her sleeves and gasped at the sight of the cuts covering her arm.
"Put her down and step back." Miyu commanded pushing her sleeves back a bit. Gohan set 18 down on the grass gently then stood up and backed away. Miyu put her hands over 18 and they started to emit a bright blue light. The cuts on 18's arms started to disappear, "There that's bet-"
She was cut off by 18 yelling out in pain. Miyu looked back down and gasped as she saw the cuts on 18's arms reopening. "That's it!" Gohan picked 18 up and started floating above the ground, "I'm taking her to the hospital, you stay here and if Goku comes then you find a way to tell me." And with that he took to the air. Miyu crossed her arms and sighed ~Why do they always leave me behind?~
"Gohan please get me out of here. I don't like hospitals. I want to go back." For as long as she could remember, 18 had always been nervous around any kind of medical equipment.
He held on to her hand tightly, "No 18. You're staying here, we need to know what's wrong with you."
She shut her eyes and a tear fell down the side of her face, "Please. If I'm going to die, I don't want it to be in a hospital."
"You're not going to die 18, I won't let you."
The doctor walked back in the room, "Well the blood test shows that she has some sort of parasite in her blood. Unfortunately no one has ever seen this before so there is no cure. If she stays here, we'll see if we can find any way to help her."
"How did she get this?" Gohan kept his eyes on 18's face. She looked weak and like she was in much pain.
"I can't be certain but my guess is that her skin was pierced or cut with an object that contained the parasite."
18 chocked back a sob, "It. . .Goku."
Gohan's eyes widened as the previous night played back in his head. ~Goku must have given her the virus as he had brushed against her.~ "That bastard!" An aura exploded around Gohan, knocking back a confused doctor. "18 stay here. I'm going back to Kami's lookout. I have to be as strong as I can for when that bastard shows up."
18 didn't want him to leave but she knew there was no way to stop him once he had made up his mind. The aura around him turned a golden color as did his hair just before he shot up and crashed through the ceiling. 18 took this opportunity to get out. She sat up and got off the stretcher. She grabbed some of the cloth bandages from a counter in the corner then flew up through the hole in the ceiling. She had to concentrate and use all of her strength to keep flying and at the same time had to wrap the bandages around her arm. She looked down and saw Miyu and two other women. She started floating downward then collapsed to her knees as she landed.
"18!"
All three of them ran up to her and kneeled beside her. Miyu put her arms around her in order to help her sit up. "18 you should be at the hospital."
"How did you know?"
"Gohan came by here and told us what happened."
18 looked at the other two women. One was her friend Kara. The other was the princess Linor whom had always been like a sister to her. "18 we're taking you back."
"You're not taking her anywhere."
All four of them looked up in the direction of the voice. Goku landed in front of them, "So I see the boy has left the women to do his dirty work."
Miyu set 18's upper body on the ground before getting to her feet. She brought her fists up at her sides and glared at Goku. Goku smirked, "Calm yourself princess. I only want one thing. As long as I get it then you and your little friends will stay alive for the time being." He looked down at 18.

Weird? Maybe.
