Piccolo smirked aiming his hands at Goku, "Special Beam Cannon!"
Goku's eyes widened and he froze in fear the attack hitting him head on and carrying him to the ground. A cloud of dust erupted from under him as he hit the ground creating a small crater outside of the arena. Piccolo grinned landing softly on the arena and waited for the dust to settle. Goku stood up out of the dust approaching the stadium a small smile set on his face and a look of defeat shining in his eyes.
"There you have it folks! The winner is Piccolo Damaio!" The announcer shouted now standing next to Piccolo.
Goku walked up to the two and reached his hand out for Piccolo to shake. Piccolo hesitantly accepted Goku's out reached hand and shook it.
"You caught me off guard with that attack." Goku smiled, "Good fight."
"What a show of sportsmanship! Let's have a hand for the two fighters!" The announcer shouted exciting the crowd as Goku and Piccolo walked off the arena.
"Where'd you learn to fight like that?" Goku asked once the two were in the waiting area.
Piccolo smirked leaning himself against the wall, "Taught myself."
"Really?" Goku asked ignoring the commotion behind him as his friends came in.
Piccolo nodded looking over Goku's shoulder at the group that had formed behind him.
"Man, Goku! That was an awesome fight!" Yamucha said resting a hand on Goku's shoulder.
Goku turned to the group smiling, his hand automatically going behind his neck.
"Yea, but I lost." He smiled sheepishly.
Piccolo took the opportunity to escape and find Kiseki.

Goku looked over his shoulder just as Piccolo vanished out the door of the waiting room.
"Wasn' that the guy you just fought, Goku?" Krillin asked looking up at Goku.
Goku nodded, "Yea."
Krillin and the others stared at Goku warily before he turned his back to them, his face growing dark.
"Goku?" Chichi whispered placing her hand on his shoulder.
Goku shrugged it off quickly and walked away disappearing out the door.

Four years had past sense the Tournament leaving Piccolo as the winner. He had given half of the money to Grandma before he and Kiseki left, heading for somewhere that he had remembered going to in his past life.
Piccolo slowly opened the door to the small house and stepped inside holding a large box. Kiseki came down the stairs to the left of him, her eyes flashing confusion when she was handed the box. Piccolo smirked and closed the door before turning back to her. A small whimper came from the box causing Kiseki's eyes to widen in surprise. Quickly she sat the box on the floor and opened it up pulling out a small puppy.
"Pic…" Kiseki gasped a grin washing over her features.
Piccolo smirked back, "Thought you would like him, found him on the outskirts of the city. Some moron just dumped him off there." He scowled at the memory and stroked the puppy's ear.
Kiseki frowned cradling the puppy to her chest, "Why would someone do something like that?" She whispered.
Piccolo shrugged, "Nothing's wrong with him." He said ruffling the fur on the puppy's head, "So what are you going to name him?"
"I dunno." Kiseki sighed, "What kind of puppy is he?"
"Looks like a wolf cub." Piccolo grunted with a shrug.
The puppy looked up at Piccolo blinking his large silver eyes and wagged his large bushy tail. Kiseki smiled and sat the puppy down on the ground.
"I'm going to name him Sato." She said petting the top of the pup's head.
Piccolo raised an eyebrow, "Sato? Doesn't that mean, "sugar"?"
Kiseki laughed, "Yea, but I like it."
"Poor dog." Piccolo grunted reaching down and petting Sato's back.
Kiseki rolled her eyes, "Whatever." She grunted breaking into another smile, "Did you bring any dog food home for him?"
Piccolo raised an eyebrow averting his eyes to the dog, "Dog food?" He repeated.
Kiseki sighed shaking her head, "Let's go."
Piccolo watched her pick up Sato and turn to the door, "Go where?" He asked starting to get confused.
"To the city, we need to pick up a few things for Sato." Kiseki said opening the door.
Piccolo sighed following her out the door and into the yard.
~*~
The trip to the city was a long one, even while flying it took a good hour to get there. Piccolo held Kiseki securely in his arms as he flew; they had left Sato at home for the time being. Kiseki stared intently at the ground rushing past them; large clusters of trees and rocks dotted the ground along with small areas of water.
"You never have told me why you picked to live this far from the city." Kiseki said feeling the wind catch her words and swallow them up.
Piccolo swallowed and looked down at her, "I'm not sure." He lied averting his eyes to the sky ahead of him.
He hadn't told Kiseki of the he made seven years ago, the wish that had changed his whole life and hers.
Kiseki stared at his face a moment longer then dropped her eyes to the ground giving up on the thought. They had been flying for about 15 minutes; the large forest gave way to vast grassland. A small shape huddled in the grass caught her eye as they flew over it.
"Piccolo!" Kiseki shouted startling Piccolo into a screeching stop.
"What?!" He shouted his eyes wide with confusion.
Kiseki pointed to the ground at the shape curdled up amongst the tall blades of grass.
"I think it's a person." She whispered.
Piccolo's face turned serious and he floated down to the ground near the figure. A small boy lay in a heap sobbing and mumbling incoherent words.
"It's a kid!" Kiseki whispered in surprise rushing over to the boy.
Piccolo stayed where he was, not sure of what to do. Kiseki slowly kneeled down next to the boy placing a hand on his shoulder. The child quickly pulled away as if Kiseki's touch stung him.
"I wont hurt you." Kiseki whispered soothingly and tried to touch the child's shoulder again.
This time the boy lifted his head to look at Kiseki. Jet-black hair framed his face, which was dirty and bruised. Fresh tears rolled down his cheeks and his body heaved with sobs.
Piccolo's eyes widened in shock at seeing the boy's face, he knew this kid. Or had known him at one point in time.
The boy looked up at Piccolo then back to Kiseki, "Please don't take me back!" He cried throwing himself into Kiseki's arms.
Kiseki blinked in surprise and hugged the boy instinctively.
"Who did this to you?" Piccolo took a step toward the two, anger flashing in his eyes.
"My… dad." The boy choked out raising his head to look Piccolo in the eyes.
Piccolo's eyes widened in surprise, "What's your name?" He asked.
"Gohan." The boy answered.
