AUTHOR NOTE: Right here's the next chapter on my Krillen/18 story (gives a cry of satisfaction) and to be quite honest I'm kinda proud of it. It's my personal belief that before the bombs were taken out that the Androids didn't experience full emotions but watered down ones to give them the edge in fighting. Once the bombs were taken out and they were free I reckon they started feeling properly which would explain this chapter.
Oh and I couldn't resist the Marron/18 thing – I don't care if you think 18 is OOC I just had to put it in. Anyway Enjoy the chapter and I'll see about getting the next one up.
18 placed the phone down and frowned into the distance. It was just her luck that he was out or else he just didn't want to speak to her. She shook her head she couldn't even believe that she went to all the effort of finding his phone number than for some bizarre reason a strange feeling had come into her stomach and she found herself staring at the phone for half an hour before she finally picked it up and rang it.
"I wonder who that man was" she muttered to herself, he sounded like a pervert, she shook her head, if he hadn't said that he knew who Krillen was than she would of thought that she rang the wrong number. She looked round her apartment with dispassionate eyes. She had made it pretty she noted. A small smile came to her face as she pushed some hair behind her ear showing some new earrings that she couldn't help but buy. "Guess I'm becoming more human" she commented to her. The apartment was painted in calming pastels and was full of antiques of different sorts, it wasn't a necessary a tidy household but at that time it suited her just fine. "What should I do now?" she muttered, finding no inspiration she took up her coat and place it on and picked up her key, She might as well go on a walk and carry on her search for 17. As she locked the door she gave it a thought.
There was no one on Earth who she knew better than her brother, even before they had been changed by Doctor Gero they had thought alike giving her two ideas of where he might be. He had either taken refuge in a crowded city like she had to blend in properly or he had gone to the most secluded place he could find. She had searched nearly all the places like caves she could find, so now she was turning her attention onto the major town and what better time was there to start looking then now when she had nothing to do.
She gave a sigh, she knew why she was looking for him, there was a strange constant feeling in her that never left, she had read something in a book which described that and had called it Loneliness, she assumed that she was lonely. She could understand it, she had always had someone to hang around with, up till the whole Cell incident than for the first time she found herself living and being by herself "Maybe that's why I phone Krillen" she thought to herself "Am I lonely for company? Even his?" before she could think of an answer she bumped into someone sending them flying to the floor. She looked down a hint of surprise on her face. She hadn't even realised she was in the main part of town already. She frowned; something about the woman in front of her was familiar. Long Green hair, big blue eyes, delicate features and clear skin. She searched her databank for an image and came up with one. This was the girl who had been with Krillen earlier on in the week.
"Can't you watch where you're going?" the woman demanded, 18 stared at her with a cool expression and went to walk away when a voice stopped her.
"Marron are you ok? Did you slip over or something?" she turned back to see Krillen help the girl he called Marron up and smile at her, again one of the strange feelings bubbled up beneath her and the urge to pull Marron away from Krillen was almost overwhelming. She clenched her fist.
"No that bitch barged into me and knocked me over" Krillen looked at her with a frown that vanished when he saw her she was. A light came to his black eyes and a warm smile curved his lips, much like the one he just gave Marron. He spoke, the warmth in his eyes reflecting in his voice
"18 how are you? Fancy meeting you here" 18 stared back and against her will smiled back and spoke
"I'm… fine, you?" she questioned back, his smile didn't lessen but the warmth grew in his eyes sending a tingly feeling through her. She couldn't believe all these emotions she was beginning to experience, almost for the first time
"I'm fine…"
"We should go Krillen we have places to be" 18 glanced at Marron to see the other woman's fist were clenched and her eyes sparkled angrily at her. Krillen nodded
"I guess," he said an unsure note in his voice, he went to turn away when 18 suddenly spoke surprising herself
"I rang you earlier on" Krillen turned back and stared
"You did I didn't know you knew my number" he commented lightly
"Why did you ring him?" Marron demanded folding her arms. 18 could see the challenge in the other girls blue eyes but she wasn't going to take it up, one punch from her would either kill the girl or put her in a coma, she looked at her consideringly, that actually seemed a pretty good idea to her at that moment
"Was it something important?" Krillen asked breaking 18 concentration of killing Marron. She blinked once and shrugged
"Not really I just wanted to talk and see if… if you wanted to do something tonight" Marron's mouth opened at that and Krillen looked astounded "I can see you're busy with…" she looked at Marron and allowed distaste to colour her feature "Her" Marron's eyes narrowed and her teeth clenched together
"Well not really" Krillen said thoughtfully "We're just going clubbing if you want to join us?" Marron turned to him
"Krillen" she said in shock "Why are you inviting her?" she demanded "Don't you want it to be the two of us?" Krillen smiled at her
"We've plenty of time to be together" he said calmly, he turned back to 18 "What do you say? Do you want to?" 18 hesitated, she should really look for 17 but the thought of interrupting the night, spending some time with Krillen and ruin Marron's night was too good an opportunity to miss. She smiled, making sure it was a sweet smile and nodded
"Ok" she turned back to Marron and made her eyes dangerous "If you don't mind that is. After all I wouldn't want to… upset you" Marron glared at her hate in her face but erased it when Krillen looked at her inquiring. She smiled sweetly back at her and with venom carefully concealed in her voice spoke softly
"Sure I don't mind you coming, I'm sure you won't get in the way after all. Are you sure you'll be comfortable though?" she feigned worry as well as she did kindness, 18 noted grimly "After all you know what they say two's good company but three is a crowd, there is always someone left out and I'd hate" she emphasised the word "For it to be you" Krillen smiled at her unable to sense the tension between the two woman or see the glares passing between them
"Marron you're too kind sometimes, 18 will be fine after all we won't leave her or anything" Marron nodded
"Ok then shall we go?" Marron asked and both of them nodded "Oh and Krillen?" he looked up and she planted a soft kiss on his mouth. He smiled lopsidedly
"What was that for?" he asked, Marron shrugged and giggled the laugh that made 18 long to kill her and replied in her sickening voice
"Do I need a reason?" Krillen shook his head and turned away
"Guess not" Marron linked her arm with his and looked behind at 18, her sneer clearly saying – Back off this ones mine "Coming 18?" 18 nodded and followed. Krillen was much too nice a person to be taken in by a bitch like her and it looked like it would be her job to help him out. She smiled serenely
"Oh well" she thought "I'll just have to break them up I guess".
There you go I hoped you liked it, as I said I couldn't help the scene between 18 and Marron. Anyway please review but no flames and I'll see about getting the next chapter up shortly ok?
