Mia saw him waiting at the door, curious and her eyes as usual, wide
and questioning. "What is it Piccolo?"
He didn't answer right away, but waited a moment as he walked in.
Mia could always tell when he had something weighing on him. She put Ezekiel down and told him to wait with Bulma. As soon as the younger Namek was gone, Mia asked, "What's going on?"
Piccolo stood before her, and closed his eyes in reflection. "I don't think what happened today was an accident. I spoke with Vegita."
Mia suddenly held her breath, waiting.
"What did he tell you?" She whispered.
"He said he felt something unusual." Mia nodded, still waiting. "I want to know what happened today, from your point of view."
His eyes finally opened, and waited for her to start.
Mia bit in her lower lip nervously. "I don't know what you're looking for. I mean, I do train with Vegita for a bit each day, and I guess I never told you, but it was so insignificant I didn't think that you'd really care, seeing as you like your privacy but still want me to keep training and..."
"Mia, you're rambling." He said with an amused chuckle. "I don't care that you train, just tell me about today."
She sighed, calming herself. "Everything was going normal. I went to the gravity chamber in the afternoon, I knocked, waited for him to turn it down, the door opened and I came in as always." She looked down, to her lap, scrunching the sheets in her fists skittishly. "I knew as soon as I walked in Vegita was out of the ordinary. He was sweating really bad, and he was breathing hard, like he was in the middle of a life or death battle. He said it was just the gravity but I got worried. then it all went down."
Piccolo nodded. "He told you he wasn't in control, he jumped you, and the gravity rose without anyone touching the controls."
"Yeah." She looked at him, a bit confused. "But what does that have to do with anything? I thought it was just a glitch in the machine?"
Piccolo shrugged. "Vegita said something was controlling him, bringing out his Saiya-jin instincts."
"Yeah...it...was..."
Piccolo eyed her.
"It was like he wanted to pin me down and rip me apart. He...he was craving either sex or destruction." Mia sighed, pushing her long copper hair over her shoulder. "I don't want to think about it. Vegita had never acted like that before."
Satisfied that he got all the information he could from her, he breathed deeply, ready to tell her what he knew. "Mia, Vegita also said he felt a ki. A telepathic ki."
Mia looked at him inquisitively. "So, you're saying you think someone was controlling the situation?"
Piccolo nodded, "I'm sure of it. Vegita's sudden change, the gravities levitation on it's own...it all fits together."
Mia nodded. "You...you think it's Krill. Don't you?"
Piccolo nodded, unable to help feeling awful for bringing this news to her. "I'm sorry Mia, but I'm sure it is."
"NO!" Mia stood up, and looked around, almost disoriented. "No...he's dead...it's someone else! He self-destructed! He's gone...gone..." Mia's tears had begun streaming down her face, and she was trembling uncontrollably. He hadn't seen her like this since he was training her in the forest, when Tide and the others kidnapped her.
Mia didn't even feel Piccolos arms around her at first. All she could feel was the terror. The horrible terror.
"Do you want me to take you home?"
A small nod was the only reply.
Sorry it was so short everybody. You remember Krill right? From my first story? 'sigh' those were the days, when their romance was first blossoming, when all was innocent and new! 'Chibi Piccolo stares at Saiya-jin Mia with a sledgehammer bobbing up and down on his hand, suggesting she get back to her comments before she got whacked' Heh...'wipes forehead nervously' I still haven't gotten ANY suggestions. I know where to go with this, but I like feedback and stuff...well, review at least kiddies and take care. Stay tuned for the next chapter 'fighting destiny'
