Ch. 15:The Attack/Piccolo's Realization
Kim and Jeri had decided to remain outside while ChiChi was cooking supper. Jeri was still a little upset because of what had happened between herself and the saiyan prince earlier that day at Capsule Corp.
Night had finally broke over the Black Forest as Kim finally broke the silence her friend remained in by saying, "Jeri, I want to stay here in anime with you."
Jeri's head snapped up at her friends's words.
Kim cocked her head to the side and said, "Puff? Jeri, are you-ack!"
Kim had been stopped mid-sentence when Jeri glomped her at the waist.
"Thank you! I thought you'd leave me here alone."
Kim shoved her friend off and said, "You're not happy here?"
"Of course I'm happy, but I still need someone to confide things in. You know, a gal-pal?(Jeri talks weird)"
Suddenly a strong power caught Jeri's attention.
Silencing her friend her friend she said, "Stay here. I'm gunna go check out that power."
Jeri was only a mile away when a shrill scream alerted her to her friend's peril.
"Kim, hang on! I'm coming!"
Jeri's feet barely touched the ground as she rushed to her friend's aid. She recieved the surprise of her life when she reached the clearing.
(Where Piccolo is)
Piccolo groaned and grogily sat up as the pounding in his head finally subsided. Goku had brought him to his house after the incident with Vegeta earlier. The Namek faintly remembered passing out on his way here, but then nothing.
Noting that it was dark out and that he was in Gohan's room he streached his long legs over the edge of the bed and stood up.
'Goku must have given me a sensu bean after I passed out. I wonder where the girls are? I don't sense their kis in the house.'
As Piccolo headed down the stairs he noticed the serious atmosphere of the two Son males. Entering the livig room he saw that Goku was poised on the balls of his feet, ready to spring forward at a moments notice.
Gohan was sitting on the couch, but his sharp, black eyes were scanning the area trying to locate the power he sensed.
Suddenly he sensed a pure evil power close to the Son residence. He now knew what had set off the other two warriors. Just then a shrill scream filled the air. Piccolo's head snapped up along with everyone else's.
'Kim!'
Another scream rends the air this time laced with pain.
"Jeri!"Everyone said at the same time.
Piccolo's senses were on overdrive as he tried to find the two females. Kim's diminishing ki gave him his answer.
"Follow me!" He yelled as he rushed out the door.
Gohan was at his mentor's heels.
Goku stopped at the door, turned to his wife, and said, "Stay here!"
He then rushed after his fellow fighters.
ChiChi came to the door and yelled, "Be careful, boys! I'll have supper ready when you get home!"
She then turned and went back into the house.
(Gohan's POV)
'She has to be alright, she just has to be.' Gohan thought as he caught up with his long time friend and teacher.
By the intense expression on his face Gohan could tell his friend was concentrating hard on whoever's power level he'd locked onto. Just then Gohan's senses caught the extremly low ki that was Jeri's lifeforce.
Piccolo was so intuned to the other ki htat he didn't sense it.
Gohan flared his power around himslf and blasted towards Jeri's ki.
'Please don't die. Kami, please don't let her die.' He thought as he honed in on the flickering power.
He landed in the clearing where the power was coming from just as his mentor got there. His father arrived a few seconds later. Then Gohan's eyes fell upon his friend's mangaled form sprawled on the ground. He was so horrified that he almost didn't feel his father's ki flare up to just below super as he passed him. The young demi-saiyan followed suit after he had gotten over the shock.
'I may not be a super saiyan like dad yet, but I can still help.'
Gohan watched as his father's nostrils flared out signifying he'd smelt something that had desturbed him. Gohan caught it a moment later. It was blood, Jeri's blood. Gohan noticed his father's steadily rising ki, though the full blooded saiyan was trying to keep it down. Gohan could do nothing but stand over his fallen friend and hope for the best.
(Piccolo's POV)
Piccolo stood poised between his student and the young woman he had grown fond of the past few hours he'd known her. He was torn between helping Jeri and helping Kim. His insticts told him to guard the young, which meant choosing Jeri, but another part of him wanted to help Kim.
It was then he saw the aforementioned female locked in battle with a wolf that stood at least as tall as he did.(BIG dog.) He made up his mind and launched himself at the wolf.
The smoke colored wolf went sprawling and Kim rolled into a crouched position with one hand on the ground.
The large Namek knelt down next to the downed female and said, "Are you alright?"
No response.
"Kim?"
While he was distracted the wolf charged at Kim. Before it reached her Kim locked eyes with the creature causing it to stop in its tracks.
Piccolo noticed that Kim's eyes were glowing a white and that the wolf's eyes were also glowig a white color.
Slowly the wolf turned and walked away.
Kim's eyes turned back to their normal chocolate brown and she passed out. Piccolo caught her before she hit the ground.
Gently shaking her he said, "Kim..."
No response.
"Kim."
A little louder this time.
When he still didn't recieve a response he freaked out and yelled, "Kimberly!" (Yes he knows her full name.)
Kim's eyes fluttered open and she said, "What, P-chan?"
Piccolo sighed a little bit as he figured out she was alright.
Shaking his head he said, "Don't call me P-chan."
Kim leaned up, wrapped her arms around his neck, pulled her head up to his ear, and said, "I'll call you what I want, Mr. Puff."
Piccolo cocked an eye ridge at the female and said, "Hn."
'Why didn't I tense up when she got so close? Why did I chose a woman I barely know over the girl I treat as my daughter? How could I possibly have fallen in love with this strange female?'
His eyes widened, 'Dear Kami, I think I have. Yes, I'm pretty sure of it, but how to be positive...'
Before he could ponder more on his discovery a very faint voice said, ::Mr. Piccolo...::
His head snapped around.
::Jeri?::
It was then he noticed, for the first time, how badly his student was injured. She was looking at him through unfoucused emerald eyes. Her once auburn hair was now black and slick with blood. She was fleeding from numerous gashes all over her body. Blood poured out of her nose and mouth. His blood ran cold when he saw the large pool of blood she was sitting in. Gohan held her up while Goku desperatly searced himself for a sensu bean. He was torn between the two females once more. Bfore the enternal debate could begin Piccolo felt Kim's hand on the side of his face.
As he looked at her she said, "I'll be fine. Go where you are needed the most."
Piccolo nodded and carefully got up. If Jeri was going to die, then by Kami, he'd be by her side if she did. She wouldn't be abandoned whens he needed him the most.
