Krillin raised his right arm to block a punch that was aimed at his head. His arm went numb instantly but he had no time to think on it as he was forced to block a kick aimed at his abdomen with his left hand. He grabbed her foot and twisted it sending her to the ground. He jumped into the air and prepared a Kamehameha to fire at her. Then he noticed them 16 and 17 standing there on the ground near a small group of rocks watching looking curious. Were they going to interrupt, if so he was dead, well he was trying to fight 18 so he was dead anyway but with them around it put dying in a whole new perspective a painful perspective, very painful. Krillin felt a pain in his back and as he fell to the ground realized 18 was up he shouldn't have lost his focus like that. Krillin hit the ground with a huge impact; the ground rippled away in a shockwave as if it were water and someone dropped a stone in it. He felt like he had cracked a few ribs but he had to move and quickly. Krillin pushed himself into the air and twisted his torso around and the rest of his body followed while turning Krillin clenched his left hand into a fist and punched straight up. One thing Krillin had noticed about 18 was that she almost always followed up with her attacks without any form of defense. Krillin had figured out that after she had knocked him about for a few seconds if he attacked all out he could get in a few good punches before getting his head kicked in. He hoped this would work because if she wasn't there he would look like an idiot. Krillin looked and saw 18 flying down right into his fist. She had her knee out as if to knee him in the head. Krillin's fist hit 18 directly in the chin knocking her back about 10 meters. Knowing she'd be ready in a second Krillin fired a blast of energy at her. It hit sending her further back in the air. Krillin flew forward throwing blast after blast of energy at her. The first few Ki blasts hit ripping her shirt and jeans a little maybe giving her a small burn or two, but rest were all punched away. Krillin powered up a Kamehameha and fired that one was simply dodged. Then she flew at him, her face was twisted in anger. Krillin swallowed scared this was going to hurt. "That was a new shirt" 18 snarled and began to throw punches Krillin bearly managed to block the punches as he said "Then you're an idiot for wearing it while fighting" with that he kicked her in the ribs and then punched her to the ground.

18 was shocked Krillin never spoke like that to anyone not even to people weaker than him let alone her. He was always shy around her always blushing when she looked at him it was cute. Now he sounded and looked angry. 18 flipped in the air and landed on her feet and looked into the air where Krillin was.

Krillin looked down 18 wasn't attacking that was strange usually after he got a punch in she want all out now she just stood there, then she faded. An after image attack Krillin spun around and was hit in the side of the head. For Krillin everything went blurry and he felt himself get hit once on the top of the head. The last thing he thought of was damn, I shouldn't have taught her that. Then every thing went black.

18 landed next to Krillin to see if he was all right. 16 and 17 walked over to where she and Krillin were. "17 if you say one thing about how weak he is I'll hit you ok" 18 said before 17 could open his mouth. "18 I was just going to say that he put up a decent fight today, it was fun to watch" 17 said smoothly "His power grows at an amazing rate". Said 16 in his usual unemotional voice "Faster than yours and 17's does" "How long till he catches up with us?" asked 17 curiously "If his power increases at this rate he will be stronger than you in a year" 16 said. "I'll take him to his home and give him a sensu there." 18 announced picking up Krillin's inert form. "I'll come" 16 volunteered Together they left 17. 17 thought I wonder if he'll ever become stronger than that idiot Vegeta.

Together 18 and 16 flew in silence to Kame Island. 18 was carrying Krillin over her shoulder he was still unconscious she was worried about that but she knew that a sensu would fix him in no time. 10 minutes later they had arrived at the island. 18 and 16 landed and started walking towards the house when a voice said "Hey what did you do to Krillin" 16 turned to look but 18 kept walking to the house. "Hey android I knew you couldn't be trusted, If you have hurt Krillin you're going to pay" said the same voice. 18 knew that voice it belonged to Yamcha one of Krillin's little human friends, he was annoying but usually she put up with him for Krillins sake. She felt three powerlevels behind her rising quickly. "Do not do anything foolish" 16 said "16 she hurt Krillin I thought you were his friend," said another voice, she knew it belonged to Tien. "I am but fighting will not solve anything plus she is stronger than you" 18 looked back quickly 16 was Krillin's friend she didn't know that. "We are not scared," piped up a high almost feminine voice, the one called Chaotzu. "There is no need to fight" a voice said from the house. Out walked the turtle Oolong "Krillin has been training with 18 for weeks now" The three humans looked at each other sheepishly. "Oh" all three replied at once. 18 turned and started to walk into the house. "Umm 18 sorry we jumped to conclusions back there" said an apologetic Yamcha. Without stopping or slowing down 18 replied back "You should be" She stepped inside and closed the door behind her. "18 don't worry they just need to get to know you that's all" Oolong said quietly before walking off. Outside she heard Yamcha say, "Who does she think she is anyway?" "Yamcha we were in the wrong" Tien said calmly "She does have a right to be mad at us" "That's the point she wasn't mad she just ignored me she's so cold what does Krillin see in her?" Yamcha said frustrated. "Beats me but he sees something in her and that's good enough for me." Said Tien "Me too we should trust Krillin Yamcha" said Chaotzu "I suppose," said Yamcha 18 stopped listening to them she wondered what Krillin saw in her. She carried him upstairs and put him on his bed and fed him a sensu. Before leaving the room she knelt down and kissed Krillin on the forehead.
