Chapter seven: sacrifices
I felt it before I saw it. High above me there was a ball of purple light growing, like the ones Ven taught me to use a little while ago. Only it was much larger.
I suddenly realized it's purpose
"NO!!" I screamed the word as I rocketed upwards, flying faster even than Ven, who had taught me a while back.

I saw a brown and black streak and knew who it was. I didn't want her to get hurt but interfering would only make matters worse, he would not kill her, she was just another innocent to him. But I was more annoyed at her for getting in the way of my fight. I had told her to go. And she had come back. I didn't like the idea of her sticking her neck out for me.
She smashed into him side on. Knocking the beam astray. I shot after her.
The impact most likely would have knocked her senseless.
I was right.
I caught her on the run and blasted away. Trunks was busy recovering from what must have been one hell of an impact. My sensors told me he had dropped right out of super saijin and was trying to follow. He failed abysmally
*
I opened my eyes to a pair of icy blue ones staring down at me
"Now why did you have to go and do that little one" he chided me gently. Whenever he was annoyed at me he got all superior like the gentle master with his pets. I scowled
"I'm taller than you" this was true in a sense, with my hair that jutted out in a tangled mess I was slightly taller. He shrugged
"You could have gotten yourself killed, then what would I do for a pet?"
I whacked him. Being an android this did not hurt him greatly and being as strong as I was it did not hurt me too much either. He just smiled and shook his head at me
"Where are we?" He smiled in that way he did when he knew something I didn't, dammit he was frustrating sometimes.
So much smarter than me
I can't even read.
So dam smart.
But I love him for it.
"We are in a little house I used at one point" I listened carefully, I had lived in the wilderness for so long my sense were my ticket to survival so they were finely tuned. I heard the crashing of waves and the sound of seagulls
"By the sea?" I had never been out of the wild wilderness I live in as far as I could remember.
He nodded. I kissed him. Whenever we kissed it was in a quick almost jerky motion, and then we drew it out as long as we could, as though daring each other to break away first, somehow he always won.
"Are you feeling alright?" I nodded, most of my aches and pains were gone. I found I healed rather quickly
"Good, how about a swim?" I grinned, understanding his meaning
"But I have no clothes" I played along
"I'm sure that won't matter" I smiled
"And I don't know how to swim" this was in fact the truth where I lived there were no rivers, only small mountain streams in the high country. There were large grassy plateau on top of the mountain, which was mainly rock really, not much else. And all around was just nature, nothing but it.
So I could not swim
"Oh I don't think that will matter too much" I shrugged
"You're the boss" he smiled
"Yes"
"Yes I am"
