This story, well I hate to admit to it, but this one is by the seat of my pants. Kami only knows what'll happen. (watches all the DBZ characters shrink back in fear) Mwahaha! This is going to be a well-rounded story. Be warned, lots n lots of Piccolo! I have a soft spot for 'em. Him and Gohan, and I beg you, do not attempt to place this in a time line, save yourself a headache, because this is an A/U. Much Like the Dragonball Z movies. They just don't fit! (like The Tree of Might..I mean..shesh)
Thanks everyone who is reviewing! You guys make my DAY. I would like to take this time to note that Piccolo is not asexual. Why you ask? He just isn't in this one, you may assume what you like.

Chapter Two: Kindred spirit.
Eve opened her eyes slowly. The sun beamed into the cave entrance casting long black shadows across the rough stone floor. 'I am still at his dwelling.' She thought with a smile. Then he appeared in the cave's mouth, his shadow falling over her.
His cape shuddered faintly in a morning breeze, with his arms skillfully crossed over his chest. She allowed herself to take in his appearance slowly. This was not a lustful gaze it was deeper than that. She admired him for all his strength. His heart was stronger than her own. He took his solitary life in great stride.
She knew good and well Piccolo longed secretly for company. After his fall from evil, he grew to like the presence of others, especially Gohan's.
Her eyes narrowed, the look on his face was cold, and he was studying her form as well. That is when her heart sank deeply. She felt her tail tap the stone floor impatiently. She was in her tigress state.
Her confession to Piccolo the prior night had lifted a weight from her shoulders. She had somehow thought she would have remained human when the sun came. It was a false hope.
Her body still ached greatly, but the night of rest had surely healed her immediate worries. She heaved herself up and strode slowly to the awaiting namake. 'How long has he been waiting?' she wondered distantly as she gazed up at him, tail growing still.
----------------------------------
He watched the massive onyx tigress approach him. His eyes drifted to her huge paws each at the very least a foot across. The tips of her obsidian claws glistened faintly in the new day's light. He vaguely thought of how large they must be when fully extended.
His eyes returned to her's, they of course still held her human soul. The deepest of blues. He could see her thoughts whirling behind them. ' I wonder what it feels like, to be locked in an animal body.' His skin grew cold at the thought; he could almost feel the pain radiating from her.
" I don't expect you can talk can you?" he asked dryly. Almost positive her feline vocal chords could not form words. But he had to ask; this would all be simpler if she could. He couldn't begin to imagine how the Son's would take this --------------------------------
She slowly shook her head, her eyes narrowing slightly. Oh how she wanted to talk to him. She felt some how, UN worthy of being near him while like this. Her shoulder's twitched slightly and she walked past him, her paws patting the rough stone faintly before pausing at the edge.
Piccolo's cave over looked the forest from the mountain range to the east. The wind swept over her thick fur. She couldn't truly feel it though her thick coat. The view was breath taking. Her eyes wandered about' how will I get down from here?'
As if Piccolo had heard her question, she was lifted from the ground abruptly. Out of pure reflex her muscles grew tense and her eyes sealed tightly shut.
Her indigo eyes opened to the feel of air racing past her. The feel of his arms tightly around her was enough to ease the tension from her body. He had to hold her with both arms from her sheer size. Her eyes took in the fastly growing earth below her until his feet were both planted firmly on the ground. Her dropped her moments later. Eve grunted weakly as she collapsed in a heap at the warrior's feet. She quickly picked herself up glancing at him as he began walking down a woodland path.
-------------------------------------
He glanced at his surrounding weakly as he listened to the sound of Eve's paws on the leaves littered path. The combination of that and the highly musical forest seemed to sooth him. He sighed deeply.
He had felt this eerie peacefulness all night, and the following morning. It unnerved him slightly. Why did this tiger.. or woman.. make him feel so at ease? ' Perhaps it had to do with the spell cast upon her. yes that must be it.'
His thoughts were silenced as he heard her sigh heavily in almost a grunt. He turned his he very slightly, enough to look of his shoulder at her. Her head was down cast. '..Why is she staring at the ground.' The sight bothered him a little, seeing a tigress behave in a very unnatural manner. His gaze soon returned to the forest ahead.
----------------------------
She some how felt embarrassed by her animalistic state. She did not know why. 'He must be cursing himself for aiding me.' She knew of how he felt about others, excluding Gohan. She also knew how he felt about women, from the way he spoke. He despised those of the female gender.
She turned her ears back, listening to her own footsteps. She felt oddly at peace here, in Piccolo's aura and his scent, which lingered from his brisk pace. A purr rolled from her throat. If not for the fur a crimson blush would be seen.
---------------------------
Piccolo raised a brow at her soft purr, but did not turn. He could feel her presence on the back of his neck, like when someone stares at you to intensely. He narrowed his eyes a dismissed her from his mind and continued walking...
After a few hours of walking they were within shouting distance of Goku's house. Piccolo stopped. His gaze turned to the tigress, who's sides were heaving greatly, and her pale pink tongue just faintly showed through her gaping jaws." We'll rest here." He said and ventured off the path. 'I should have stopped sooner, I forgot about her injury.'
He sat down by the shade tree just beside the lake Gohan was so fond of fishing in. He smirked faintly, and briefly as he watched Eve lap up the lake water eagerly. ".. You alright?" he said flatly.
-----------------------------
Eve took a deep breath of air and fell onto the lush grass very ungracefully . Her sides burned and her paws ached slightly, but she nodded solemnly to him. She was a little taken aback by his display of concern.
She watched him rest his back against the oak, and taped her tail, the cold damp grass nearly as soothing as his being with her. She managed to suppress the urge to rub her furry cheek against him, '..if I could only speak.'
-----------------------------
Piccolo nodded back to her. He noticed her intense stare, those blue eyes threatening to burn a hole straight through him. "Once you have rested we'll see Goku, do you remember him?"
He let the tension in his shoulders seep away slowly, her gaze not bothering him, in fact her closeness to him was almost intoxicating. 'what?.I shouldn't be thinking like this.' he closed his eyes growling inwardly'.I will have to consult Kami about this.'
-----------------------------
She once again nodded in reply to his question. '..ah.. Goku.. yes I remember him.his innocence.I wonder if Piccolo's beloved Gohan will be there as well..' She smiled, her whiskers rising slightly.
'But what about Chi-Chi.?' her expression fell at that. She recalled Piccolo's ramblings about the demon woman chi-chi. She somehow knew deep down this chichi creature would not approve of her presence. But she would face this head on. If Piccolo could survive her, so could she.
After several minutes Eve felt ready for this challenge place before her. With Piccolo at her side anyway. Her ebony form rouse slowly and her eyes fixed on Piccolo.
------------------------------
"Ready?" he asked distantly. He watched the tigress nod to him and stood slowly. '..this will prove interesting.' he thought to himself as Eve watched his every movement like a curious cat.
He popped his neck to the left and to the right and walked back to the well worn path. He listened to her following close at his heels. He also heard what sounded like a nervous sigh. 'don't worry Eve, I'll be right here' he said it in his head, but still could not believe he thought such words. '..what is happening to me?'
Alright! I think that is a improvement compared to Chapter 4, don't you? Well anyway, I'll try to get the next one up soon. Is Piccolo just under the influence of magic? Or is there a bond between him and eve? And what will chi-chi think of a colossal Tiger playing with her precious son? All to come in the next chapter. REVIEW! Please! The more reviews the faster the chapter will get written! I need some incentive!is petty.. knows it
