How Do You Know?
Chapter 12: Yelling
There are some things that you just shouldn't do, for your own safety of course. You don't swim in volcanoes, try to pet a hungry mother Siberian tiger, poke a sleeping dragon in the eye, nor do you ever try to tell Vegeta he is a gay pansy. Trust me on that last one. There is one other thing you should never ever do no matter how insanely suicidal you maybe, and Piccolo was about to learn this last bit of wisdom the hard way. You never mess with Raddittzu's children and try to keep the protective father away unless you have a death wish and a love of pain.
"SHAAASHIIIIIII!!!" Raddittzu's battle cry rang out like an alarm and Shashii smiled at it as if it were the sweetest music in all existence.
"Dad." Wheezed the teen. His voice was all but a whisper now. As his heart quickened, his hope of escaping transformed into knowledge of his imminent departure from what he dubbed 'The Cave of The Blackest Hearted Ugly Green Butt Idiot Shit-head.' The teen smiled in relief.
In the blackness Shashii could feel Piccolo's head snap up and breathing quicken. With a soft swoosh the tall man exited to go greet his newest guest. Piccolo, knew the ki that was heading straight at him with a very angry flow to it. It was the ki of the one who he didn't defeat, the only one who had ever escaped his wrath, the elder brother of his late rival. And as the longhaired Sayajin touched down they were already measuring each other up.
"Where is my son? I know he is here." Said Raddittzu quickly. Piccolo shrugged.
"Your son? I'm not sure I've seen any one that is ugly enough to be your son." Said Piccolo with a smirk. Raddittzu's face darkened at those words.
"I don't have time for this, he'll die soon if he doesn't get some nourishment and relief for his pain. I didn't bring him here to die." Growled the Sayajin. Piccolo crossed his arms over his chest and gave Raddittzu an indifferent look.
"Then why did you come?" asked the tall man. Raddittzu glared at him heatedly.
"I may have promised that Kami but if you don't move I will make you."
"Oh, so that fossil is intervening in my matters? Damned fool, why would I give up my chance for a rematch?" asked Piccolo with a trace of amusement.
"Because you'll get it later after I finish what I brought my son here to do." Said Raddittzu finally seeing his bargaining chip in this game.
"And that would be?" asked Piccolo skeptically.
"None of your damned business. It is family matters." Said Raddittzu with a poker face. Piccolo nodded and then shook his head.
"Sorry, your son caused me a lot of trouble, a lot of trouble." Repeated Piccolo for effect. Raddittzu growled, he could feel his son weakening, dieing.
"Now is not the time, bastard. I'll make you pay!" Growled Raddittzu as he unknowingly was powering up. His aura was a sharp electric violet and was obviously making Piccolo nervous. Raddittzu looked into the cave and made a mad dash to get to his son but ran into Piccolo's fist. The green skinned man also had a violet aura and seemed evenly matched.
"Just let me by Green Butt." Said Raddittzu taking up a defensive pose. Piccolo flinched at being called that name, and he knew that it wasn't chance. Raddittzu wasn't the telepathic type though.
"Damned brat, so he's a telepath. amazing." Said Piccolo quietly. Raddittzu nodded.
"Yeah, you should see him play chess, almost beat me last time." Said Raddittzu with a nod. "Never deserved a kid as wonderful as him." There was a hint of regret in his voice. This stunned the green man. Then he put it all together, and laughed. Raddittzu stood upright, confused.
"Are all Earthlings insane?" he spoke aloud.
Shrugging he ran into the cave guided by his son's energy pattern and a small globe of energy in his hand. Soon he came upon his son's limp body and fought the urge to blow the green man to kingdom come and puke his nonexistent meal up. Steeling himself he freed Shashii's tail from the odd and primitive trap and then cradled his son as if he were four again.
And that was how Piccolo found them an hour later after he had gotten over the fit of laughter. Raddittzu just sat there rocking the weak nearly grown youth, softly singing a lullaby in a strange language as he skillfully reset bones and soothed surface wounds by pouring bits of his energy to help quicken the healing and nourish his son. Raddittzu seemed to be in a trance as he did this and Piccolo quickly left to go yell at Kami for being such a fool.
"You are Kami for crying out loud! Don't you realize that that bastard almost killed us last time and did kill your little savior Goku!" Shouted Piccolo. Kami had stood there stoically waiting as Piccolo ranted for the past hour. This wasn't uncommon and as such the old man had developed a system, give Piccolo something to piss him off, wait two hours, greet the angry counter part and listen for a minute, space out, listen as the idiot's ki starts to drop and he sounds like he's winding down, if not repeat last two until he does then respond using archaic words and clichés then logic.
"Yes, yes. I know all that Piccolo. The ways of God are mysterious to Man. I assume you know of the boy's heritage?" asked Kami cryptically.
"Of course, Raddittzu all but told me." Stated the Demon King bored.
"And?" Kami prodded.
"It's an insane twist of fate, like me being bound to a doddering old fool of a Kami." Said Piccolo.
"Yes it is." Said Kami with a grin, "But it is also an opportunity for Earth to survive the next thousand years in peace."
"Explain." Demanded Piccolo. Kami's grin twisted into a smirk.
"The boy is one of great influence where he was raised as is his father, he is also the start of a new era and will help reform the universe's greatest evil in time. And after all he has been through the boy still has a feeling heart, hell, he nourishes them. You felt it didn't you?" asked Kami curious.
"Yes. The boy is very odd. He a loose cannon though." Warned Piccolo.
"No, Raddittzu will give the boy orders and the boy will listen. The boy will do most anything his father orders him too." Said Kami confident.
"So you say, I'll keep an eye out, one false move and the boy is dead." Said Piccolo and then he left the floating island.
"Sure you will Piccolo, sure you will." Muttered Kami. The aged man then turned to Mr. Popo who always seemed to know when Kami needed him. "I'm going to Heaven for a little bit and then to have a talk with that old cheating crone. Please watch over things while I'm gone?" asked Kami with a rueful smile.
"Of course sir." Said Mr. Popo nodding.
"Thank you, why you refuse to be Kami is beyond me. You do my job what a third of the time and yours too." Said Kami as he vanished.
"Because." Said Mr. Popo as he went to trim the bushes.
Love you all! Bye Bye!
