New character in this chapter. Can you guess who she is?
Ch. 16:Jeri's tail?!
Jeri groaned as another spasm of pain lanced through her. She braced herself into Gohan's comforting form as she waited for death to claim her. She opened her eyes as when she felt herself being shifted to another person's arms. Her emerald eyes met the concerned onyx eyes of her sensei. He hid his feelings well, but she knew by his eyes how he felt.
He said, "How did you get like this, kid?"
She snuggled closer to her mentor and said, "I fought the wolf. He did this to me."
Piccolo could literally feel the life draining from the small girl in his arms. She was dying, and all because he had failed to protect her. He trained his ears in on her heart. It was slowing down and there was nothing he could do. Then it stopped altogether. She was gone. Piccolo struggled to keep his raging emotions in check as he lay the now dead female on the ground. He watched detachedly as tears streamed down Gohan's face and Goku turned his head. They couldn't take it either.
Piccolo could here Kim crying and went to comfort her.
Suddenly a bright silver light alerted the anguished fighters to the arrival of a stranger. She was knelt down next to Jeri's prone form. Chin length brown hair lightly hid her face from view. A silver scrunchy pulled only a little of her hair up into a half pony tail. Thin silber streaks in her hair accented her silver scrunchy and silver cloak.
From her place on the ground Kim said, "Who is she?"
Piccolo shook his head as the frightened Kim dug her nails into his arm.
He said, "I don't know, but something tells me she's here to help."
The new arrival kept her focus on Jeri's body. She made several hand gestures above Jeri's body then put one hand on the dead girl's head and the other on her heart. A silver light radiated from the brown haired female's hands and eyes.
Inside of Piccolo's mind Nail reconized the power and pointed it out to Piccolo.
"She's a healer."He said with slight awe.
Kim looked at him.
"What?"
Piccolo stood up and walked over to Jeri's body. He watched as the wounds on Jeri's body closed up and disappeared. A jolt ran up her prone form three times before her eyes flew open and she gasped and coughed for air.
The young woman who had healed her stood up, legs wobbling, walked a few feet away, opened a portal, and walked through it.
Jeri tried to sit up, but was bombarded with pain before she made it halfway.
Clutching onto Piccolo's arm she said, "What happened to me?"
Piccolo's throat threatened to close, but he said, "You died."
"I know that, but how am I alive?"
"Some mysterious woman healed you."
"Oh."
Goku was overjoyed to find out that Jeri was alive and well once more. He finally found his final sensu bean and gave it to her.
Jeri's streangth returned almost instantly. She stood up, only to be glomped to the ground by Kim and Gohan.
"You're okay!"They said in unison.
Jeri brushed them off with her best glare and slowly stood back up. This time Goku hugged her. Instead of falling again Jeri was steadied as an auburn tail shot strait out from around her waist, setting her back on balance.
No one even noticed it until Goku let her go and she tried to walk, but instead fell on her face. (Ouch.)
Startled gasps met the female as she stood back up.
Kim was horrified as she said, "Y-y-you have a t-tail!"
Jeri looked down at the fuzzy appendage that was wrapped around her leg.
"Hm. So I do. Guess I have more saiyan in me than I thought."
Piccolo nodded and said, "It must have grown in when that female healed you. We don't have a mon anymore so I suppose you can keep it."
Jeri nodded then turned to Goku and said, "Great. Say Goku, how am I supposed to walk with this thing?"
Goku chuckled and said, "You'll have to get used to it, but until you do just wrap it tightly around your waist. You should be able to walk normally like that."
Jeri straighted herself and did just that.
"Arigato, Son-kun."
Goku cocked his head to the side.
"Son-kun?"
"It is my nickname for you."
"Oh. I like it."
"You would. Hey guys let's go home. I'm starving."
The resounding call of "Hai." was heard as the group headed to Goku's.
Phew. Another chapter.
Its working up to a romance I promise just be patient.
