A hidden warrior: Generation One
It felt like Caryn had been on Trunks back for hours already. The moon had sank into the west about an hour ago, and there were shades of pink in the sky. She hadn't had any sleep all night for fear of falling off. "Where are going anyway?" she asked Trunks, craning her neck trying to see his face in the dim light, "We're going to a place that I used to train in my world, it should be about the same geography, we'll be there in about an hour, for now try to get some sleep." Trunks replied, turning his head to look at her. "How the hell am I supposed to sleep, when I think I'm gonna fall off at any minute?" She asked him in a mocking incredulous voice. "Fine," Trunks said in a mischievous voice, right before he rolled over and she went flying down towards the fast oncoming ground, Caryn screamed as she drew closer to the ground, just as she was about to hit the ground she was caught in a pair of strong arms and flew rapidly away from the tree littered earth. She boxed Trunks ears when she had got her breath back and her heart slowed down to a normal pace, "What was that for?" he asked in a mock hurt voice, while trying not to grin. "You know damn well what that was for, you scared the hell out of me!" Caryn yelled at him, her cheeks flushed with irritation. "What, you said you couldn't sleep on my back, so I put you in my arms," Trunks replied in a soft voice, looking at her with soft eyes. It was impossible for Caryn to stay mad at him. So she just snuggled closer in response and fell into a deep sleep immediately.
Caryn awoke to sunlight shining brightly in her eyes, she opened them just to shut them immediately, for being blinded by the sun. She put her arm over her face to shield her eyes before sitting up and looking around. She was in a vast desert from what she could tell, there was sand doons stretching as far as the eye can see. She was sitting under a large tree which was the only vegetation in sight. The sun was directly over her, and it was scorching hot. She looked around for Trunks, but found him no where in site. She shrugged and got to her feet to stretch out her tired muscles. She walked over to the base of the tree to find a huge keg of water, and a bundle of dried food. She could tell her stay here would not be very confortable.
When Trunks got back he brought back with him a huge dead animal that looked somewhat like a gazelle. Caryn looked at it doubtfully, all Trunks did was smile at her and drop it at her feet, his smile was not so pleasant, "Clean it, then skin it, its going to be a long time before you're going to be able to hunt for yourself." Caryn gaped at him in shock, before she shrugged and got out a knife she had brought with her, she would take what she was given without complaint, she was the one who asked him to train her. Now the problem was, how the heck are supposed to do this. After plenty of corrections by Trunks, Caryn got the hang of gutting and skinning animals. He taught her to hunt by day, and taught her to fight at night. I was going quite well in Caryn's opinion, the weather was grueling, they got massive sandstorms, and she had to be careful about her skin, she got sunburned terribly within the first week she was there. After that, she tanned a very dark brown. After about a month of getting beaten and bruised by Trunks by night, and getting bit and chased by animals that did not want to be killed by day, she came back to their camp at the huge tree to find Trunks waiting for her patiently. She went and sat next to him with a confused look on her face, he was usually out doing something about this time of day, what he did on his long trip, she had no idea. This had only happened twice, once to tell her to hide from a chopper that he had seen earlier in the day, and the other was to warn her about a massive dust storm coming her way. They sat in silence together before he finally spoke, "you must learn how to fly." At this, he looked at her with a slight grin excaping his cool appearance at her dropped jaw and wide eyes.
Trunks started her flying lessons the next day at dawn, she learned surprisingly fast for a 'semi-normal' as he called her. It only took her three days to learn. Trunks was amazed at how fast she was learning, she was getting close to his strength, if he wasn't a super Sayin, She was very powerful. Trunks had no idea she would get anywhere near this amount of strength. It also puzzled him a great deal, how can a human generate so much power? This had been one of Trunks biggest puzzlement's he was trying to figure out.
Trunks kept training Caryn as hard as he could, sparring with her till she couldn't even move let alone fly. She would always insist on her getting back on her own, so Trunks would leave, and Caryn would arrive at the camp about two days later. Trunks was having a harder and harder time trying not to show his feeling for her, they hadn't talked about that kiss as his apartment since it happened almost six months ago. He didn't know what would happen after she had finished her training. He was almost fearful of what she would do after she returned home.
Caryn got back to camp early one day with a huge water buffalo for dinner. When she got back to the camp, she wasn't surprised to find Trunks gone. She dismissed the worry that built up inside her whenever he wasn't near her, and dragged the carcass over to the small stream they used for butchering. When Caryn was about halfway through getting the hide of the dead animal, she felt the familiar funny feeling in her stomach that announced Trunks was near. She heard him land lightly and start walking over towards her. "When will dinner be done?" he asked, Caryn heard the smile in his voice, "After I'm finished gutting, skinning, and slicing it up, the killing fart is already done." She turned around to grin at him. Her hair was all disarrayed from the long flight here, and she was covered in dust and sweat from the hot day. "How about I take over, so we don't get poisoned from your cooking again." He laughed as she slugged him in the leg, laughing. "My cooking isn't that bad." She said while standing up and planting her fists on her hips. "That's what you think" Trunks dodged her second slug that was aimed at his chest. He grabbed on to her fist as she tried to hit him again while laughing all the while. As he held on to her hand, their eyes locked for a brief second that felt like it lasted for eternity. Caryn quickly pulled her fist back as if burned, and lowered her eyes, she coughed lightly the said in an embarrassed voice, "well, I'm going to go get cleaned off before dinner, I'll be back in a while." at that she took off into the air off to the south.
Caryn's heart was pounding so hard she thought it would break her ribs, her breathing was coming in quick short intakes, as she flew through the air towards a small waterfall about a hundred miles from their camp, she hadn't told Trunks about it, because she liked it to herself. The waterfall itself was beautiful, the water ran from an underground spring, so the water seemed to shoot out on a hole in the side of a cliff. There was a large pool at the base of it, filled with crystal clear water, it didn't look very deep at first site, but when she swam to the middle of it, she couldn't touch the bottom nomatter how deep she dove. There was palm trees and large boulders surrounding the pool, which offered shade. As Caryn landed at the beach of the pool, she pulled off her clothes and flew up to the top of the cliff so she was just above the water fall, and dived in, the cold water hit her in a rush, she swam to the surface and sighed as she floated on her back, it felt good to be clean and cool. She swam in circles on her back for a couple of minutes before she stopped under the water fall to wash her hair, she started singing a song that she used to hear all the time back home, it was a song by 'dido', it always used to help her relax. So as she washed about a weeks worth of dust, sweat, and grime off her body, she sang, I did'nt hear you leave, I wonder how am I still here, and don't want to move a thing, it might change my memory, Oh I am what I am, I do what I want, And I cant have.
Trunks finished butchering the buffaloe, that Caryn had brought and decided to go find Caryn before he started cooking it. No matter what he said about Caryn's cooking, it was still better than his. Trunks took to the air, and sensed for Caryn's ki . He was surprised to find it so far off, ' I wonder what she's doing so far away?" he thought before going in a strait line south, to where she was, he cloaked his ki just to be safe, he didn't want to embarrass her or anything by showing upunannounced when she might be with another guy,the thougth automatically made rage bubble up in him, he surpress it, Caryn hadevery right to be with another guy, it's not like he would be sticking around for long anyway, nomatter how much it pained him, he would never belong in this world, but then again, if his guesses were right, neither did Caryn. As Trunks flew on, he spotted a green spot on the horizon, and Caryn's ki led strait to it, as he got closer, he picked up the sound of rushing water. As he got closer though, he heard another sound alltogether, it took him a second before he relized what it was. It was singing. Caryn was the last person he cold ever imagine singing, yet their it was. He didn't recognize the song, but it had a soothing effect. He landed in some palm trees beside a crystal clear pool that was positioned under a waterfall. He was shocked at how beautiful this place was. Caryn must come here to relax. He didn't spot her right off but he soon spotted her, she was bathing under that waterfall, completely naked, Trunks respectfully look away, but he couldn't help but notice the circular scar at the base of her back, he did stare at that however, the only people he knew with that scar were people who had had surgery to remove a tail, that could only mean one thing, she was Sayin.
