Chapter 6: Foothills to conceal.
She was afraid that perhaps she had now overstepped her bounds, she wanted to hear the words from him but she also understood his way with words and did not expect him to answer her question with ease or at all.
The words made Piccolo feel as if he was backed into a corner, he did have a deep longing and caring for the woman in his arms but his conflict was between his feeling for her and his feeling toward the fight the battle that could spell the end of mankind.
The pause made lumps form in Isabelle's throat and chest.
*Perhaps its true, he.. he does not.... *
He sensed the sadness forming in her heart yet he still looked straight ahead afraid of what he would find he did not understand the concept but he knew that she had taken a hold upon him he could not shake.
"You have done something to me and I don't understand it, but I assure you have nothing to fear"
Isabelle listened she was right the answer was nor a lie nor the truth, it was the boundary but she accepted it he could sense her fear.
"I know" She said reaching up her lips found his jade wind chapped cheek the kiss was long yet gently not full of passion.
The warmth of her lips faded the coldness of his cheek being sure she could not see, at first he tensed slightly then his eyes closed savoring the contact.
She pulled away cuddling as close as she could which was not much they were already close enough to be mistaken for one form.
*****************
Goku was lagging in along with the rest of the fighters, he looked back in the distance he spotted the close-knit shape of Piccolo carrying Isabelle.
Goku had noticed the closeness growing between them yet Piccolo's composure never seemed to falter even when the pair thought they were alone.
He smiled hoping the once hates and death-driving comrade had found come sort of peace.
"Hey Goku whets up?" Krillin commented as he came closer to his childhood friend.
Goku Turned around seeing Krillin.
"Nothing Krillin, how far before we arrive?" Goku diverted away from the subject.
"I don't know Goku, we seem to be heading for the mountains I sure hope Bongo knows what he's doing" Krillin looked ahead at the magnitude of the mountains as they approached closer.
"He does Krillin he is looking out for the safety of those he holds dear, asking him to help us we have asked a lot from him" Goku said his expression turning serious.
"Your right Goku, I can't imagine what he is feelin' " Krillin said frowning lifting the large sack of clothing and other essentials more securely under his arm.
Vegeta had herd the conversation-taking place he snorted.
*Fools, the really think this place we are flying to can conceal these whimpering women*
Vegeta thought the large sack tucked firmly beneath his armpit, he felt degraded being made to carry supplies for the likes of women.
*Such disrespect of my authority* He said under his breath as he watched Bongo ahead carrying his wife to their destination.
Goku took a last glance behind him at Piccolo and Isabelle before continuing toward the mountains.

"Kami what is happening now, is he close?" Mr. Popo enquired to the extremely lethargic Guardian he had taken no rest in days keeping a mental visual on the approaching Lord.
Kami lifted his head from its downiness to see the anxious assistant and friend. He smiled weakly.
"I am afraid not my friend, all I can tell you is he is on his way." Mr. Popo nodded yet hung his head
Kami's frail hand came to rest on his loyal assistance shoulder reassuringly.
"Tell me my friend what is troubling you?" Kami asked gently
"Oh Kami I only wish that we could be of some more assistance to the fighters, but without the dragon we have no other alternatives"
Kami nodded it was true the last time the Dragonballs were used was just before the deaths of Yumcha, Tien and Chouzu.
"We will find another way, we can not give in to this pestilence" Kami said defiantly he stood up form his throne and walked out onto the tiled floor of the lookout.
"Who ever this creature takes himself for, he will soon learn he overestimates himself underestimates everyone else"
Kami stopped by the edge of the lookout.
"What are planning Kami?" the stout Genie said running to join the guardian on the edge of the lookout.
"I am not Mr.Popo, I am hoping that Piccolo will, and he has a high intelligence and may find a solution"
Kami exhaled heavily tapping the bottom of him staff on the peal colored tiles.
"He may seem aloof due to his lack of wit and warmth, yet he along with the mind of his brother I am counting on to bring us through this"

Five pairs of feet landed roughly upon a rocky ridge in the mountainous region of the black pine forest, a sixth pair of feet also landing or the ridge then followed them.
"Is this is" Asked Gohan looking at the jagged rocky walls of the ridge before and beneath them.
Bongo turned Poetry still in his arms her arms secured around his neck.
"Not quite yet" Bongo smirked to Gohan. " We will need to walk the rest of the way, this place is hidden beneath very jagged region to dangerous to fly around"
Bongo led the way followed closely behind my Goku, Krillin and Vegeta.
"Thankyou for carrying me Gohan" Said Cyndel as Gohan gingerly placed her feet back on the ground releasing her from his arms.
"That is OK I just hope this place is safe enough" Cyndel nodded in agreement as they began following the group.
Piccolo lagged behind with Isabelle still draped over his muscular appendage, she had fallen into yet another deep slumber.
*I can't carry her everywhere; she needs to know this area if she is going to be staying here but why wont she stop sleeping? * Piccolo questioned himself he stopped.
"Get up we are here," He said to her soundly, but she did not stir, he did what he did the last time.
The large Namek slowly shook Isabelle her head bouncing on his arms she began to breath deeply.
"hmmmm what wrong, what is it?" she asked yawning; she focused her sluggish eyes onto Piccolo who was staring down at her.
"We arrived a little while ago, we need to walk the rest of the way," He said putting her back on her feet.
"And you need to get to know your way around so I had to wake you"
"Where is everyone? " Noticing everyone had gone Piccolo looked up he could sense their position instantly they were only a dozen feet or so ahead around the corner.
"Lets go we need to get you settled in this place as soon a possible" Isabelle nodded following Piccolo as he began walking down the gravel and pebble imbedded ground.
******** "You know you do not need to carry me" Poetry whispered into Bongos ear as they walked down the anomalous path of the mountain, he had not released her since picking her up when they left. The other fighters had lagged behind from the excess weight they carried.
He turned to her seeing her blue almost aqua eyes looking into him overflown with admiration for his treatment of her.
"I prefer keeping you close, it calms me knowing that you are here that I can feel you"
He smirked staring straight at her, shy returned the gesture leaning in closer to him her lips curling around his she tightened her hold on his neck as she lovingly mouthed him her eyed closed enjoying his taste as he enjoyed hers.
She pulled away gently.
"I will always be here for you, I love you" She lay her head onto the hollow of his neck closing her eyes.
Bongo kissed the blond strands of her hair beneath his chin.
"I love you too" They continued to walk on without any intention of releasing his hold on her body, it may be the last contact he would have with her for a long while he wanted to remember everything, her scent, her touch, her taste.
