Chapter 11: Return to reality.

The light steps of a private approached Tempos throne, stepping up to the third step, he kneeled down onto his right knee bowing his head for several seconds.

Tempo had noticed the private at his feet but in his cruelty, he enjoyed taking his time.

"Hmm what is it private?" He sighed in slight irritation slouching slightly into his throne his eyes met the private on the ground before him.

The private raised his head.

"My lord, we are and hour away from reaching earths atmosphere, we are awaiting your further instructions" He stated still down on his right knee.

Slit and Clip grinned their spirits becoming giddy with excitement the time was at hand and they were anxious to exercise their new strength after almost 6 months of confinement to train it took all available discipline to control themselves.

Tempo turned his eyes toward both Slits then Clip he could see their restlessness and decided the time for them to start enjoying their new talents was at hand.

Utilizing his staff he raised from he throne up into a standing position, the private also rose up onto his feet stiff as a board he waited for his orders.

"Hmmm the time has come my loyal companions, the time for earth protectors will son end"

He could hear as clip and slit rose from their seats their figures towering over all in the room.

"But".Tempo raised his hand causing all to pause.

"I have decided to change our plans, it would be just to simple no enjoyment would be gained from the original plan"

He dropped his silvery white hand the flesh slightly wrinkled revealing his age.

"The two loyal subject glanced at one another unsure at what their lord was plotting but no less anxious to know what.

They approached Tempo stopping feet from his their statures casing an eerie shadow over him; they waited to hear the plan he assured would guarantee them a good time.

Poetry opened her eyes, blinking several times to remove the blur inhibiting her vision; she looked skyward realizing that she was in fact looking at the midday sky.

The memories then flooded to her of the actions they had committed on the prairie feeling the warmth of his body intertwined with hers the memories flooded to her of the first day, the first encounter with him from that day they knew that they would never look at another in the same way.

***************************************FLASHBACK**************************** *************

It was Isabelle's birthday, today she was 13 and her mother had allowed her to invite friends to their home for a small celebration.

Being a great distance from the nearest populated area it was not easy for Isabelle to make friends but today she was excited, her one and only friend was able to come to this special day.

Vella watched as her young daughter ran through the front door to greet her friend, she smiled content to see Isabelle's happiness perhaps the happiest she had been in years.

Isabelle's re-entered the house towing in by the hand a young girl her long sandy blond hair fastened in a sophisticated French brain by a blue ribbon perfectly matching her crystal blue eyes.

"Come meet my mother and father" Isabelle chirped pulling the young girl in by the hand to the kitchen.

"Mother, father this is Poetry" Isabelle gestured still clutching Poetries hand, their height was almost identical but Poetry was a year older.

They had been friends for a few years now, poetry also living in the wilderness she was the only other person she had contact with aside from her family.

Poetry remembered being excited to meet her best friends family, she was also naturally shy as Isabelle was, she smiled shyly.

"Ohh you are such a lovely girl it is a pleasure to meet you Poetry" Vella offered her hand and Poetry excepted.

After her introduction to Adam Isabelle's father Poetry was pulled away almost immediately to ward the back yard.

"Your family is so nice Isabelle I really like them" she said as the approached the back porch; she wondered where Isabelle was leading them.

"Thank you they really like you too but you just have to meet my brother" Poetry was naive to Isabelle's having any siblings but she followed along.

Walking though the grass they came to a stop before them stood a figure, Poetry remembered the jade completion and gently expression as he stood before her, any girl would recoil at his appearance being he was clearly not human but not her she stared at him in awe, his eyes held such a gentles that she felt unable to tear away from.

"Poetry this is my brother Bongo, Bongo this is my friend Poetry" Isabelle stood back to allow an equated to take place.

Bongo inched forward extending his hand to the beauty before him.

"I'm happy to meet you," He said as his hand met hers.

His flesh was soft and comforting something passed through her she could not ignore even at her tender age she knew this feeling had a significant.

***********************************END FLASHBACK***************************************

Poetry was juddered out of her trance to the sound of stirring beside her; she turned to find herself face to face with the same angelic gaze and sincere eyes.

All she could do was smile-thanking life that he was there beside her his eye still as sweet and loving as that first fateful glance.

"What were you thinking?" Bongo asked draping his massive arm over her naked body; he pulled himself closer to her.

"You." she kissed his forearm as if weighed over her body closing her eyes she felt him rustling closer.

Without a word he pulled her closer kissing her forehead first, then moving to her closed eyelids kissing each feeling her lashes against his lips.

"What part of me?" he whispered his lips still pressed against his eyelids.

He grinned as she giggled like a child.

"What I first saw you that day on Isabelle's Birthday" Bongo pulled back looking into her eyes that fluttered open to look at him.

"Speaking of which we need to get back you held us up a little longer than we should have" Bongo rose both his eyebrow ridges seductively at her as he teased.

She pouted "so its my fault is it? She laughed out load.

"Your are right though, we still have not checked the house as we were supposed to we had better now" they lifted to their feet hesitantly bongo materializing himself a white gi and his usual blood red sash.

He complimented his wife with a white knee length dress, after admiring his handy work momentarily, he grasped her around the waist in his usual cradling manner and lifted off flying the few hundred feet to the house.

Isabelle had awoken several moments ago she watched as the love of her life from her very childhood slept beside her, she rose her hand slowly coming to rest of his cheek she stroked it gently, Piccolo inhaled deeply his eyes creaking open looking straight at her, it seemed even as he slept he was watching her.

"How is your arm?" Isabelle asked noticing the puncture s from the thrones had all but disappeared; his healing techniques had taken affect as he slept.

"Better, are you alright?" Piccolo asked rising up to his elbow, he looked down upon her.

"Yes im alright, what makes you think I wouldn't?" Isabelle asked looking into his large eyes, he watched her intently a hint of concerned was there if failed to escape her.

"I was afraid that I.i might.hurt you again" he rubbed his hand along her slender arm his voice was low he remembered the pain he had caused her their first intimate encounter.

"We will stop if it hurts you to continue"

His tone was now firm he stopped stroking her arm.

"No, im fine don't worry about me.you could never hurt me Piccolo, I suppose we had to expect it" she said modestly, she again stroked his face her smile beaming she loved to feel him so close it was all she had ever wished for her entire life.

"Ill get used to it im sure of it" Piccolo quirked an eyebrow at her words he smirked leaning down slowly he captured her lips for a last long kiss she shut her eyes enjoying his taste not wanting it to end.

Piccolo could feel the emotion she had toward him he felt it as it coursed through her mind, he also felt it within him yet he cursed inwardly unable to show it to her as she deserved it to be shown.

He broke the kiss Isabelle's eyes were shut as he pulled away gently.

"We need to get back, they might start looking for us if we don't" Piccolo rose off the ground he rematerialized his gi about to do the same for Isabelle but turned to find she was dressing in the clothing that lay discarded on the ground.

He smirked, when she had finished he lifted her into his arms, she leaned in close to him breathing in his fresh body scent her eyelids bearing down she dozed off before Piccolo even left the niche they were in.

He looked down at her, her thick long braid over her shoulder her head falling heavily against his chest he could feel as she breather her soft breath brushing against his exposed skin, he was taken back by how quick she was to sleep yet again.

*You have become everything to me I don't know when how or why, but I know I wont lose you to anything*

He would never allow these word to leave his lips his ego still his no. 1 trait. However, he could no longer deny his need for her for her love was more than he felt deriving to receive.

He found the end of the long cave leaping into the air he headed back toward the cave where Gohan Cyndel and Krillin waited to know their finds.
