Piccolo pushed back all of his confusion and shock to the back of his mind as Goku approached him.
"Who are you?" Goku snarled standing before Piccolo.
Piccolo folded his arms over his chest and scowled at the smaller man.
"My name's Piccolo." He grunted straightening his back up.
Goku nodded once, "I remember you." He smirked, "You're the one that beat me in that Tournament a few years back."
Piccolo didn't move making Goku scowl again.
"What do you want?" He growled narrowing his eyes in anger.
Piccolo glared at the Saiyan, "I need to talk to you about your son."
Goku rolled his eyes running a hand through his hair, "What about him?" He grunted.
"I found him in a field trembling in fear!" Piccolo snarled out angrily baring his teeth, "And he says you're the one that put him there!"
Goku glared at the Namek his eyes darkening as he took a step forward leaning in closely, "He refused to help," He hissed angrily just inches from Piccolo's face, "Said that he didn't want to fight. So he'll die with the rest of the earthlings."
Goku backed away folding his arms over his chest.
Piccolo raised an eyebrow, "What are you talking about?" He growled.
Goku smirked turning his back to the Namek, "You'll find out soon enough."
"Goku!" Piccolo shouted watching Goku's retreating back enter the house and slam the door shut.

"What happened out there in that field yesterday?" Kiseki asked casually putting down a puzzle piece.
Gohan bit his lower lip staring at the puzzle that was half way done as if it were the most interestingness thing in the world.
"I didn't want to fight." He whispered slowly raising his eyes to meet Kiseki's.
Kiseki raised an eyebrow, "Why would you have to fight?"
"He said that the rest of our race was coming," He paused looking up at Kiseki with pleading eyes, "And they are going to destroy the Earth."
Kiseki's eyes widened, "What are you talking about Gohan?" She whispered to the frightened boy.
Tears began to form in the corners of Gohan's eyes, "I'm part of an alien race and they're coming to get my dad and blow up the Earth!" He cried flinging himself into Kiseki's arms.
"How many are coming?" She whispered holding the child.
"Two others." He murmured into her shirt.
Piccolo walked in through the door at that moment and spotted Kiseki sitting on the floor holding Gohan. She looked up at him worry reflecting in her eyes. Piccolo then noticed that Gohan was crying and babbling complete nonsense. Piccolo walked up to the two and crouched down next to them. Gohan looked up at him, tears streaming down his face and terror in his eyes.
"You… you're not taking me back are you?" He sobbed, "Please Piccolo-san don't take me back there!" Once again he buried his face into Kiseki's shoulder.
"Don't worry kid, I'm not taking you back." Piccolo whispered ruffling the boy's hair.
Gohan lifted his head again, "You're not?" He sniffed.
Piccolo shook his head.
"Thank you." Gohan whispered resting his head back on Kiseki's shoulder and drifting off to sleep.

"What's going on?" Kiseki whispered shutting the door to the spare bedroom.
Piccolo folded his arms over chest and leaned against the wall, "I need to go talk to someone…" He sighed a touch of hesitation played in his voice.
"Talk to me!" Kiseki pleaded taking a hold of Piccolo's hand and pulled him away from the door.
Piccolo sighed following Kiseki down stairs and into the kitchen.
"Something happened that day I saved you." He began as he sat himself down in a chair.
Kiseki sat down across from him listening intently.
"Where do I start? This is so frustrating." Piccolo growled rubbing his temples.
"Start from the beginning." Kiseki whispered.
Piccolo looked up at her and sighed, "He had shot you… I went on a rampage killing innocent people until one day I was beaten. I made a vow to myself that I would get stronger than the one who had beaten me and kill him, so I trained as hard as I could. Finally I felt strong enough to beat him, so I waited till the next Budokai, where he beat me again." Piccolo looked down at the table smiling bitterly, "Then things started to change, I had been training somewhere out in a large desert when a man in strange clothing approached me. He was looking for a man named 'Kakarot.' I had no idea who the heck he was talking about and told him to get lost. Turned out this guy was a lot stronger than I had anticipated on, he was about to kill me when he sensed this Kakarot guy and left. Turns out that Kakarot was the guy that I was trying to get stronger than and the strange looking man had kidnapped his son."
"Who is this guy?" Kiseki interrupted feeling slightly confused.
Piccolo looked up at her and raised an eyebrow, "Goku."
Kiseki's eyes widened in realization, "You mean Gohan's dad?"
Piccolo nodded.
"But…" Kiseki shook her head in confusion, "Alright, what happened next." She gave in.
Piccolo smirked, "I teamed up with Goku because I wanted to be the one that killed him, which I ended up doing in the end. He sacrificed himself to kill Radditz, the guy that had kidnapped his son. But before Radditz died he left a warning that two others like him self were coming and they were stronger. So I took Goku's son and I trained him for the year it took the two Saiyans to get to earth."
"Saiyans?" Kiseki repeated.
Piccolo sighed and nodded, "A strong alien race."
"Oh." Kiseki averted her eyes to the table in thought.
"I died in the battle and was wished back, I'll tell you about that in a minute," He added quickly and Kiseki closed her mouth, "I was on a whole new planet, Planet Namek, there was a very long fight with a guy named Frieza and the planet was about to explode. Everyone on Namek except Goku and Frieza were wished back to Earth. Goku defeated Frieza and several months later he returned back to earth. That's when I decided I would make a wish with the Dragon Balls, seven magic balls that grant wishes, I wished that you were never shot." Piccolo sighed raising his eyes to meet Kiseki's, "And here I am."
