A/N: Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've had playing tests in band, and my algebra class isn't giving any brakes soon. But you don't care about my personal life do you? *readers shake heads 'no'* Didn't think so. Well, this chapter is going to be in Piccolo's POV. I get to be in his head. Scary, huh? And now, chapter 4. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sun started to peak out from behind the horizon. I opened my eyes as the first rays of the golden light splashed on my face. I looked to the left to see the brunette girl I stayed with still sleeping. She moaned softly and rolled over to where I could see her face. It still puzzled me as to why this human would want me around. A 6ft. green guy with fangs, especially if it's me, isn't exactly the best companion in the world. 'Why did I decide to stay?' I thought to myself. Normally I would rather blow someone up than comply to a request to be their 'bodyguard'. But this girl was no threat as I stated last night. And she had gotten mad when I said it. I smirked. "She looked kinda cute when she was mad." I said aloud. Then I realized what I had said and mentally kicked myself. "Did I just say 'cute'? I so need to kill something!" It had been a while. The last thing I shot at was a deer yesterday morning. The little thing didn't stand a chance.(A/N: that poor thing. ;_;)
The girl, what was her name? Colleen? Yea, the girl, Colleen, started to stir. She yawned and opened her ice blue eyes. 'Something about them,' I thought, 'something makes me want to look at them.' "Morning." she said groggily. I grunted in reply. Another advantage to being a demon; I am alert once I wake up. "You don't have to be so talkative." Was she mocking me?! "I talk when I want to." She shrugged, stood up, and started walking around looking for something. I raised my 'eyebrow' at her. "I'm hungry." She said. I 'hmphed'. Food, so irrelevant. You would think humans would have evolved enough so they wouldn't need it, like me. Humans were so beneath me it was funny. 'I am superior in so many ways.' I thought (A/N: full of himself, ain't he?) I was so caught up in my own thoughts I didn't hear, yea with my gargantuan ears; didn't hear, her come up to my face. I almost yelled out in surprise when her index and middle finder snapped together in front of my nose. "*giggle* I said, do you know where I can find some food?" She smiled at me, amused that she had startled me. 'Stupid onna,' I thought. "No. I don't eat." Her face fell in annoyance and she turned away, mumbling.
After five minutes or so, she returned with a bunch of red colored fruit in her arms. She picked up a sharp-edged stone and started to cut into them and eat. "So," she started out "you here for any special reason?" "Training to defeat a man named Goku." The mention of his name made me grimace. I *hated* that man! "Oh. You're going to fight him in the World Tournament, aren't you?" "Yes." "Um, how long until that is, exactly?" "Six months." 'Oh. My.' She thought. Her face suddenly changed from the sickening smile and her ice eyes gleaming, to being wide eyed with her mouth gaping. "Sssss...ssssssssix m-m-months?!?!" "Yea..." She made a little squeaking noise and stared straight ahead, at nothing in particular. She then slapped her forehead and started repeating "this is not good, this is *not* good," under her breath to herself. "What's your problem?" I asked "You know how I said I was from another dimension?" I nodded. "Yes." "I'd kind of like to get home before I'm of legal drinking age! I have a family, and friends, and..and..." She stopped and looked at me with tears starting to form in her eyes. "Don't cry, please I can't stand the sound of human wailing." Her eyebrows came together in a frown, I obviously upset her. She stood up and yelled, "You insensitive jerk!!!" Then she punched me, right in the nose. And it hurt! I clutched my nose, which was now throbbing, and I think starting to bleed. I looked at my hand; yep, blood. My temper soared and I stood up, being a foot or so above her, snarling. She got that oh-crap-I've-really-done-it-now-and-am-I- ganna-get-it face. I rose my hand up, intending to knock her senseless. She tensed, scrunching her eyes shut and inhaling sharply, clutching her fists together, getting ready for my blow. But.....I couldn't hit her. I didn't want to hit her. I don't know why I didn't, I just didn't. She peeked at me with her left eye, opening only a little. "I'm sorry." She said in a small voice. I doubt anyone but I could hear it she said it so softly. I took a deep breath. "Don't do it again." I warned. I just turned around and took up my lotus position and started to meditate. "Thanks." She said, and went back to eating her fruit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I guessed about three hours had passed since the incident with the girl. My nose felt better. She actually had a decent right hook for a human female. I looked up to find her and..... "She's gone!" I looked around the area; behind a boulder, numerous trees, I even looked in a rabbit hole. I know, why would she be there? Get off my back! I walked about a quarter mile in three of the four directions. "Where the heck did she go?" East was the only way I hadn't checked yet, so off I went. I walked for maybe two minutes when I heard splashing water. I followed the sound until I saw a small spring. I walked up to the bank trying to find what I had heard. Then Colleen sprang up from the water.... without clothes. She must have been taking a bath. 'Well, I found her.' She took one look at me and.. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Our screams must have been heard for miles. "GET OUT OF HERE!!!!" She shrieked. My hands clasped over my eyes in an attempt to make things a little better. Didn't work. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I stumbled away backwards, but not being able to see, tripped. Over, and over, and over. Not a shining moment on my part. "I SAID GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" She started throwing rocks at me, hitting me every time. "Ow, ow, I'm going, I'm going, ow, ow!" I finally got away far enough so I couldn't see her anymore.
I was back to the place where we had been staying, and started to tend to the many bruises forming on my arms, and one wallop of a lump on my head. 'She has a pretty good throwing arm, too.' I thought. I touched the mountain forming on my head and winced at the pain. "I've known her one day, and she's managed to bean me more times than most people I fight. And I haven't really gotten her that mad. Well, the spring thing probably set her off as bad as I'm going to see." I blushed a little. "Wow. Did I do that?" I turned my head, and low and behold, the cause of my pain. "Yes, you did." "Here, let me see it." She stepped closer and examined my head. "I got'cha good!" She lightly touched the spot where my head was swelling. I drew in a sharp breath when her fingers reached my skin. "Man, I'm so sorry. I just kinda freaked. Didn't mean to attack to like a rabid chihuahua.(chi-WOW-wa) But you can't walk in on a girl taking a bath. It's not right." She went over to my cape which I had discarded last night. She ripped off a piece and wrapped it around my head. "There. All better." She stood up and walked over to the pile of ashes that used to be the fire. She put some wood in a pile and lit it. "Why are you being so nice to me?" I asked. She was the only one who seemed to care if I was hurt or not. "Because, it's usually customary to help the one you beat the crap out of." She said sarcastically and smiled. "No, really. I'm a demon, no one cares about me. So why do you?" She looked me in the eye. 'Those ice eyes of hers, they shine. They're mesmerizing.' "I care because....well.....I don't know. You just seem like the kind of guy that..um..it's kinda hard to explain. You say you're evil. But, I don't see evil in you." That was a first. How could I seem not evil? I had attacked her, what, twice? What could she possibly see in me. She must have seen I was confused because she said, "I know it seems hard to believe, but...I like you. You're like some of the guys back home. Except the green, tall, muscular, high temper thing." She, she LIKES me?!? How is this possible?!?!
"Hey, you know how you said you were training to fight that Goku guy?" I nodded, still a little off guard from her explanation of why she was nice to me. "Well, I was wondering, would you, um, train me?" That got my brain working again. "No way, girl. I don't need an annoying kid around while I train." "Kid? I'm only about three years younger than you! Come on, you would be training yourself as well as me. It'd be a great challenge. Please Piccolo?" She did have a point. Training her would train me as well. And she could help me defeat Goku, not that I need it. Why not? "Fine, we start tomorrow." She squealed in delight. "Oh thank you, Piccy-chan! You won't regret this I promise!" She bounced away with glee like a little child getting candy. 'This should prove interesting.' I thought. 'Wait, did she call me, PICCY-CHAN???'
