CHAPTER 18
A/N: Sorry for the wait but I've been traveling most of this summer. Thank you for your patience, your reviews keep my sanity!
Flying into the rising sun, Piccolo headed back to Gohan's house with Deshee in his arms. She was exhausted and slept for most of the flight, dreaming of the events of last night. Piccolo gazed down at the girl in his arms and smiled.
************************************************************************
"Oh KAMI-SAMA!!!" Gohan ran out of Deshee's empty room, "I lost her! She's gone! Oh NOOOO!!!"
************************************************************************
Piccolo and Deshee walked into the family room of the Son household and greeted Tetsi.
The guard cleared his throat, "Um. Gohan was looking for-"
"DESHEE!!!!" the scholar plowed into the guard and snatched the girl into his arms, spinning her around, "Oh Kami-sama, I thought I lost you!"
Tetsi eyed Piccolo and Deshee; he could sense something strange about their chi. A oneness. A unity; although made of pure emotion it was almost tangible, there was definitely a physical element to it.
As the girl's arms pulled Gohan into a reassuring hug, the guard took note of the absence of her ring.
'So it's over.' he concluded.
************************************************************************
It was seven o'clock when Vegeta and Bulma showed up, Trunks trailing along behind. Goten greeted his pal, trying to hide his pain caused by his mother's brutal death.
7:15AM - Tien and Chaotzu arrive
7:21AM - Yamcha enters the Son household
7:47AM - Krillin, 18, and their daughter, Marion, show up
And, as usual, Yajarobi and Master Roshi took to avoiding life- threatening situations like war and didn't show up at all.
***********************************************************************
Piccolo felt a drop of sweat trickle down the back of his neck as his old friends eyed Deshee strangely.
"Who's the chick?" Yamcha glanced from the girl's wolf ears to her supple hips.
Realizing his cold, uncaring image was going to be destroyed if Deshee's true significance was revealed, Piccolo narrowed his eyes at Yamcha and barked, "She's just a Janjin-kee slave." and he exited the house, pride pulsating from his heart.
