A/N: Ok, I'm writing another story again. I just had this idea and it ran trough my mind for a long time, so i just had to write it. A short summery: What if, Krillin decided that he wanted to whitness his wifes' past, so he could figure out how she became a cyborg. Well, nothing wrong with that huh? But what if he tries to change the past, and save Eighteen from turning into a cyborg. Ah well, told too much right now. Please Read it and Review.
P.S. This takes place after Buu and before the tournament.
Disclaimer: I'm just writing this for my own fun, and if someone actually wants to read it. I'm writing it for them aswell. So I don't own dbz.
To witness the past
Chapter 1
A beam of moonlight shined trough the tiny hole in the top of the curtains. It landed on the blue and white sheets of the bed that stood into the highest rom of the house. On side of the bed a man was sleeping in peace. His black hair was a mess, but his face was completly relaxed. He even had a tiny smile on hist mouth.
On the other side of the bed however, things weren't so peacefull. There lied a beautifull young woman, her hair was a mess aswell, but her face was coverd with fear and angst. Sometimes she would close her eyes extra strong, as if she wanted to block out the images in her dreams. She started to struggle a little causing the man next to her to wake up.
Krillin, confused by the struggles whiped the sleep out of his eyes and looked at his wife. She was moaning and struggling, her arms where moving and sometimes her body would shock a little bit. She started to whisper some words. "no, get aw..way......get out...away from me....not ..please aaaaahhhh".
Krillin started pushing her shoulders. "Eighteen" he whisperd "Honey, please wake up, come on".
Nothing happend, Eighteen just continued to moan and struggle in her dreams.
"EIGHTEEN" Krillin shouted suddenly, causing not only his wife to wake up, but some lights in the house to start burning aswell. Inside the hous and old man ran out of his room and looked into Krillin and Eighteens. From another room also came sounds
"What's wrong in here?" he asked confused.
Inside the room, Eighteen sat straight on the bed, her eyes wide open and fear still clearly noticable on her face.
"Please check on Marron master" Krillin said.
The man just nodded, left the room and went to where the other sound where coming from. A little while later, they faded, and silence once again ruled Kame House.
"Eighteen?" Krillin said softly "Please say something to me".
"What..h..happend?" she stambeld. "A nightmare?"
"Baby, this was more then just a nightmare, you where scared to death" krillin said worried. "Besides, nightmares last one or two days. You've been hunted by this for nights now. What's going on?"
"I..I can't remember" Eighteen stambled.
"Are you sure?" Krillin asked.
Eighteen nodded, "nothing...it's all empty".
"Do you want some tea to relax or something?" Krillin offered.
Eighteen shook her head, "I just want to sleep".
"Alright" Krillin said, giving his wife a kiss on the cheek. "Go to sleep, I'll watch you".
Eighteen nodded gratefully, she closed her eyes and curled up in a ball, leaning against her husband. Krillin looked at her worriedly, only when her breathing was relaxed and he was sure she was asleep, he closed his eyes and went to sleep himself.
The next Morning
Eighteen awoke early the next morning, the sun just showed its first rays across the horizon. Eighteen looked beside her, Krillin was still lying next to her, holding her firmly. She carefully tried to get out of his arms, it wasn't hard for her to break his grasp, but Eighteen didn't want to wake her husband.
Finally Eighteen was able to get out of bed, she walked to the bathroom and got into the shower, trying to wash the night from herself. Those terrible nightmares, they've been going on for days now, Eighteen remembered them, every second of them. They where terrible.
After a couple of minutes she got out of the shower, dried and dressed herself and went downstairs to fix breakfast for everybody. Krillin was a lousy cook, he could screw up making water for tea, Eighteen on the other hand turned out to be a natural in the kitchen when she moved into Kame House, and lets say the inhabitants where very happy with her talent.
A little later Krillin came walking down the stairs, "Good morning honey" he said. "Slept well the rest of the night?".
"Fine" Eighteen replied.
"Are you feeling all right?" Krillin asked again.
Eighteen just lifted up her shoulders "Hungry?" she asked.
"Always" came her husbands answer.
"Go wake up Marron, I'll put the food ready" Eighteen said.
"First I want a goodmorning-kiss" Krillin said smiling.
Eighteen smiled back and kissed him, after that Krillin walked up to get his daughter and Eighteen put plates on the table.
After a couple of minutes Krillin walked down again carrying a sleepy looking Marron.
"Good morning Mar" Eighteen said.
"Mowning mwamwie" Marron said yawning.
The family sat down and started enjoying some toast. "Mom, what was wrong last night? I heard you" Marron asked.
"Bad dream" Eighteen said in a soft voice.
"Eighteen are you sure you can't remember them,....I mean they've been going on for so long now and it sounds so...weird....that you can't remember anything" Krillin said.
"I told you I couldn't" Eighteen replied coldly.
"Yeah, I know" Krillin said softly, but in his voice was a tone of disbelief.
Later that day Krillin, Eighteen and Marron went to Goku's house. They (and the rest of the gang) where invited for dinner. Krillin and Eighteen flew and Marron was being carried by her father. Master Roshi decided to stay home since there was an 'interesting show' on the TV.
Krillin landed on the grass, he let Marron fall the last few metres, she loved that. Carefully he caught her again. Eighteen was still in the sky in case something went wrong. Seeing that her daughter was safely back in Krillin's arms she gracefully landed on the ground.
"Lets go in kay?" Krillin said
Eighteen followed her husband inside and Marron –who was put on the ground again- was skipping after her parents. Once the trio was inside they where greeted by their friends. Everybody was there already.
Everyone spend some time laughing and chatting until Chichi called out that dinner was ready. At the table the conversation was mostly about previous battles –which Chichi didn't like-, everybody laughed when Goku demonstrated Frieza's face right before future Trunks chopped him into little pieces.
"Man, I wish I was there, sounds cool to meet my older me" Trunks said.
"Well, you have met him, but you where only a couple of months old" Bulma said.
"Can't remember" Trunks said.
"Well, this was it" Chichi said an hour later.
"Oh, I thought this was just the first course" Goku replied sarcastic.
Everybody glared at the incredible amount of plates in front of Goku and shook there heads.
"Goku" Krillin whispered.
"Mmmyeah?"
"I need to talk to you, alone"
"Lets go outside ok?"
Krillin nodded.
"So, what's bothering you?" Goku asked his long time friend when they where outside.
"It's Eighteen" Krillin answered. "She's having terrible nightmares for a very long time now, she keeps saying she doesn't remember them, but I don't believe her."
"Why not?"
"I just know she remembers, she can't lie to me, I see it in her eyes......" Krillin was silent for a while.
"Do you think its about Cell?" Goku asked.
Krillin shook his head. "No, she has had some nightmares about him after the Cell Games, but that has ended a long time ago, besides these are a lot worse, I...I think it has something to do with her past"
Goku looked at him questioning.
"You see", Krillin explained "sometimes she moans names in her dreams, and she's feeling weak, she isn't weak but...I don't know, I just feel it. Her past...before she was an android is hunting her, and she won't accept any help from me, and I feel so powerless" Krillins voice turned softer by every word.
"Your doing nothing wrong Krillin," Goku said "No one can imagine what Eighteens has been through, and she won't talk about it, I don't think she remembers it, so your not powerless".
"I want to know" Krillin said.
"What?"
"Her past, I want to know what she was like, what she did, and what happened to her" Krillins voice sounded sure.
"Perhaps it is possible..." Goku said.
"How?"
"The dragon, he can show you Eighteens past" Goku said.
"REALLY?"
"Yes, and I'll help under one condition" Goku said.
"What's that?"
"I want to come with you"
"Why?"
"I don't mean to invade her privacy, but it's basically my fault that Eighteen became an android and....I barely spoke a word with her. I mean,...all my old enemies are my friends, and I talk with them and I know them, but I know nothing about Eighteen, and I feel guilty about it".
Krillin looked at Goku amazed.
"Alright" Krillin said "Let's gather the balls"
"Tomorrow!" Goku said "Come here at sunrise and we'll start".
"Agree"
