"Wasn't Kajii great in class today?" Asuka had told me for the millionth time today.
"Yeah, real great." I said, "One question Asuka."
"What?"
"Do you like any men your own age?" I spat, "because I doubt Kajii will ever date you."
"How dare you! Of course Kajii will go out with me, he said I was beautiful."
"He also said you were sincere and nice but I don't see that coming true."
"What are you talking about? I'm nice, and sincere. Just not around you."
"Oh well that's logical."
"Why wouldn't it be?"
"Because every guy that's asked you out comes back with a black eye, or epileptic seizures."
"That's because all boys are pigs."
"What about Kajii? Is he like some sort of saint?"
"Of course he is. He's a man, not a boy like you."
"If he's a man why can't he fly and blow stuff up like me?"
"I said he's a man, not a freak."
"Oh, that explains everything."
"That you're a freak?"
[She had hit home. I never realized how different I could be from other normal people if I wanted to. I would either have to marry another person of the saiya jin race or someone really stupid to actually keep them from fearing me. My life is cursed.]
"What the hell is wrong with you?" she asked.
"Are you afraid of me Asuka?"
"No, I'm not afraid of anything."
"That's a lie. I bet there's something in your past that makes you fear something. On second thought I have no idea what your parents where like, or your life in Germany."
"If you really want to know my mother committed suicide and because my father left her. I grew up with my grandmother until I came here. It's no big deal."
"Asuka."
"That doesn't mean you can go soft on me now, now that you know."
"I don't know if I can keep that promise."
"You better or I'll kick your ass!"
"Even if you could, would you want to?"
"I... don't know."
