From The Author: Sorry I'm taking a break from writing my v/b epic. I just can't decide how to start the next story. If anyone has any ideas for it, you can e-mail me, or write them in the review for this story.
Anyway this takes place after the gt episodes. Just say that Goku's alive, alright? ^_^ It's completely Krillin oriented. I'm not sure exactly what gave me the urge to write this, but I hope you enjoy.

The Human Warrior
Chapter One; Aging
"Wow, Krillin, this food is great!", Goku said, eating a bowl of unbuttered white rice, "You have to give me the recipe."
"Sure. It's rice.", Krillin said sarcastically.
"Oh, right.", Goku said with a chuckle.
"Ahh...I'll be right back.", Krillin said, walking to the bathroom. He splashed some water on his face. He was feeling tired again. This happened to him often. Ofcoarse, he was in his late nineties, but this was rediculous. He had been one of the strongest fighters in history; THE strongest human in history. He knew deep down that it was coming eventually, but could never really imagine himself getting old. He chuckled at his appearence; wrinkles, liver spots, and a gray line of hair that circled the back of his balding head. He had been called baldy all his life, but now it was really true. He walked back out. "Hay, Goku, how about some training?", he said.
Goku, who was practically still in his prime, looked up at him with an awkwardness, and mild pitty. "Ahh,, I don't know. Chi-chi wants me home early, and Pan has this tournament she wants me to go to. I just have a really busy schedule. Sorry, Buddy."
It hurt Krillin that Goku no longer thought he could handle it, but did not insult him. He knew it was true that he couldn't do exactly what he used to be able to, but he wasn't completely feeble. He could take a light sparring match. "Oh, come on, Goku. You never let me being a human stop you before.", he said with a chuckle, "Don't worry. I won't hold you liable for any injuries."
Goku chuckled back. "Alright, sure. I guess I could use a little exercize myself." They flew out.
"Krillin!", Eighteen yelled, "Don't get yourself killed!"
Goku chuckled, but Krillin WAS insulted at that joke coming from his un- aging wife. How could Goku laugh at him like that?! They flew out over the ocean, and Goku put his hands in front of him, as if to block.
Krillin dropped his arms to his sides. "Goku, what are you doing?", he asked plainly.
"Give me your best shot.", Goku said.
Krillin felt himself redden with anger and embarasment, and said through clenched teeth, "You could atleast ACT like your trying to hit me! I'm not that brittle!"
"Krillin, sorry.", Goku said, "I just thought that, ya'know..."
"That I was too old?!"
"Well..."
Krillin jumped at Goku, ang began punching, and kicking with all his might. At first, Goku didn't even try to block. This made Krillin scream in anger and punch harder. Now Goku was blocking, but you could tell that he was just doing it for show, so as not to hurt his feelings. Krillin went for a swing kick to his head, and felt something crack in his spine. Had his back just went out on him? He didn't know, but it hurt.
"Krillin, are you ok?", Goku asked.
"I'm fine!", Krillin said, forcing himself into more agonizing combat. "Goku, just hit me back!"
"But I don't want to hurt you."
"Don't you realize how much your hurting my pride by treating me like a feeble old man?! I'm flying, Goku, and using ki attacks! Nearly no humans in thier primes can do that! Just give me a chance!!!"
"Alright, Krillin. If it's a fight you want, then it's a fight you get.", Goku said with a smile, as he got Krillin in an instant armlock. Krillin struggled, twisting himself around, then felt another crack along his spine, and blacked out form the pain.
