Pain flared though his body. Gritting his teeth, he tried to concentrate.
It was hard, the pain and blood loss made him dizzy. With a growl he tensed
all his muscles and concentrated harder. Slowly the wound began to close.
Sweat was running down his face. Regenerating the wound was harder then he
thought.
When the wound finally closed, he was tired. Regenerating was never easy.
It always took a lot of energy. And you could only regenerate wounds or
limbs, not blood. That had to come back the natural way.
He slowly stood up and shook his head. The dizziness faded a bit.
"Piccolo, are you Ok?"
Hearing the concern in her voice, he looked at the girl.
"Hey kid, don't look so worried. You get wrinkles from it."
With relieve clear on her face, the girl stuck out her tong and grinned.
"I guess you are Ok then. At least your sense of 'humour' is. And I couldn't care less about wrinkles."
"You should. You humans get ugly very quickly."
She laughed aloud at his last statement.
"What?"
"No, its nothing."
"Oh, then you are laughing aloud just for the fun of it then? I've always known that you weren't completely sane."
"Hey, its just that you can explain you're statement in two different ways."
He arched an eyebrow. With a big grin, she explained:
"First there is the way that you said it. But the second way is a bit different. You said that humans get ugly very quickly. So that means that before they get old, you think that they are good-looking."
"Kid, I'm beginning to regret my decision to give you a Senzu bean."
"First, I'm not a kid. Second, I've got a name. And third, you called me a human."
"And what is wrong with calling you a human, kid?"
She pointed to her white hair.
"Is this a natural hair colour for a human teenager? And is it normal for humans to have pointed ears?"
"Alright smart ass. Have it your way then. You're not human."
She looked at him and grinned, making sure he got a good look at her fangs. Suddenly, her grin vanished. Turning round, she was about to say something. But she couldn't finish her sentence. One of the warriors jumped from a rock on top of the girl.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------
Her instinct told her that there was danger. Turning round, a warrior jumped her. Acting fast, she grabbed the warrior at the front of his tunic and let herself fall. When she was lying on her back on the ground, she pulled up her legs and planted them in the warriors stomach. With a great heave, she threw the warrior over her head. She immediately stood back up and fell into a fighting stance.
"Come out you cowardly bastards! I know that you are there!"
The only thing that stirred was the warrior that she had just thrown of. But she knew that they were out there. Hiding. Biding their time. Keeping one eye on the surroundings and one on the warrior, she wondered why Piccolo hadn't done anything. He always knew if somebody was close. And Piccolo was really fast. It should have been a piece of cake for him to just grab the warrior in mid air. He must have lost a lot of blood, to slow him down so much. Concerned about Piccolo, she risked a quick glace at the green man. She had just time to notice that Piccolo looked tired, before something hit her from behind.
