Alright guys, next week Sunday I'll be on my way to Austria for 2 weeks, so I'm not sure if I can get another chapter up before, if not, you'll have to wait for a few weeks, I promise I'll continue to write and update A.S.A.P. Love, dark mean me
Chapter 3
It was the same dark road, it was the same blue gate and from it stepped the same men as ten years ago. "Are we somewhere else now?" Krillin asked.
"I guess we're more sometime else" Goku answered.
"There's the graveyard again, do you think we should go to it?" Krillin wondered.
Goku nodded and walked up to the graveyard, this time a lot more graves have appeared on it. "Well, we are defiantly in another time" he said.
Krillin looked around until he saw the grave he was looking for. "There it is!" he said.
The two warriors walked up to Eighteen fathers' grave, they stopped half way because the heard a voice.
"Hey, dad, I'm back again. Mom's mad at me, we've had a fight, we only have fights. I love her but I....she just doesn't understand me, the dreams that I have, the fact that I keep going back to you, my friends, nothing.."
"She's here again" Krillin said anxious.
Goku just placed his finger for his mouth to make Krillin silent.
"I want to go to her" Krillin said.
Before Goku could stop him, Krillin was walking towards the girl. "Hey" he yelled.
The girl turned around in shock, Krillin stopped when he saw her face, it was precisely the same face as Eighteen, the same eyes, the same features, everything. Only the make-up was different. Eighteen barely wore it, but this girl had her eyes covered with black eye shadow and eyeliner.
"Eighteen?" Krillin stumbled.
"What?"
"Are you Eighteen?" Krillin asked again, not knowing what he said.
The girl laughed a little, "I wish, then I'd be old enough for everything I want, unfortunately I'm still sixteen, seventeen in a few days, why do you ask?"
"Ermm....."
"Oh no reason" Goku said, laughing nervously. "Your name's Crystal right?"
"Yeah, how do you know?" Crystal asked surprised.
"Well, lets just say we know you" Goku gave as an explanation.
"What are you guys doing here, I thought I was the only one crazy enough to walk around at a graveyard at midnight?" Crystal asked.
"Well, we are ermm...?" Goku tried "Krillin what where we doing here again?"
"Crystal" Krillin began "you are not going to believe us, but we are here for you".
"What did I do wrong now, that thing with covering my teachers car with pink paint was just a joke" Crystal said.
"No we are.....YOU DID WHAT!!!!"
"Hey Chill, erm Krillin was your name right? Look, the stupid ass hated me and I wanted to take him back, besides I didn't do it alone" Crystal looked upon her watch "Gotta go if I don't get back soon I'll be in deep shit, see you later perhaps". Without looking back Crystal walked home.
"Personally, I think she's less cute now" Goku said.
Krillin still looked amazed, his eyes where huge and his mouth was open.
"Krillin....?"
"I'm married to an underage, gothic girl who does vandalism" Krillin said.
Goku laughed, "I kinda like her now"
"Thanks" Krillin replied sarcastic. "Goku I want to stay in this time for a while".
"Why?"
"Eighteen once told me that she does remember that she got erm.. changed right after her 17th birthday. So it should happen soon now, I want to see it"
"Do you think you can handle it?"
"Don't know"
"Alright, we stay"
"Thanks Goku"
Crystal kicked against a can out of boredom, it has been another useless day. First almost the entire day school, where she received nothing but negative comments from teachers and preppy students. Then –when she got home- she got into a fight with her mother about her moms new 'boyfriend'. Crystal saw him as pure betrayal against her father.
"Somehow I got the idea that you guys are following me" Crystal suddenly said. "Show yourselves, I'm not in the mood for games".
Goku and Krillin appeared from the bushes behind Crystal. "You have good hearing" Goku said.
"I've been doing martial arts almost since I could walk. You'll learn to discover pursuers then.
"Still it's very good"
"Thanks, what do you want now, and why are you stalking me?" Crystal asked clearly a bit pissed.
Goku and Krillin looked at each other, they couldn't tell her the truth, no matter how much they wanted to. "Remember when we said we where here for you?" Goku carefully started,
Crystal nodded, still very confused.
"We can't say a lot, but you are in danger, something bad will happen to you very soon. Don't ask us how we know because we can not tell you. But we know it and we wish to stay with you." Goku tried very hard not to betray too much
"Either you guys are nuts, or you believe me" Crystal said amazed.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing, I've just been having weird dreams and I feel that they are trying to warn me for something, but if you two wish to stay.. fine I don't care."
"Thank you" Krillin said. "This is wonderful" Krillin thought in himself "I can stay here and help her, maybe even save her. I didn't just came here to look how the person I love so much gets tortured. I won't let it happen to her, there must be a way to stop it. There must be, it'll be the best for everyone. She will stay a normal human being, so will Seventeen, and in the future there won't be any victims from the androids."
"I'm going to visit some friends wanna come?" Crystal asked.
"Sure we do right Krillin?"
"Huh?"
"Krillin, Crystal just asked if we want to come visit her friends, where are you with your mind?"
"Nowhere" Krillin said quickly, "let's go".
The trio walked trough the streets, Krillin and Goku made Crystal tell a lot about herself, at first she refused to, but after a while she got looser and she told the two warriors about her life, how her father died when she was 5 (which Krillin and Goku already knew since young Crystal told that to them as well), the best-friend relationship she had with her brother, her other friends and gang member, things she did to annoy the teachers. Goku and Krillin didn't mean to, but when Crystal told how she changed her teachers car colour (from blue to pink with paintball guns) they had to laugh.
"Well, he tried to flunk me just because he hates me and Ric" Crystal explained, "fortunately my tutor saved us". "We're here" Crystal stopped in front of an old looking building.
When the trio stepped in they where greeted by a large group. "Hey Artemis, brought your boyfriends?"
Krillin looked like he wanted to sink trough the floor.
"Right, just met them on the street, they want to protect me or something" Crystal said.
"Alright" a girl with colourful clothes said "we're Artemis' friends and we greet you welcome".
"Thanks, I guess" Goku said shyly.
"Artemis?" Krillin whispered to Crystal.
"That's my nickname" she explained "look do you two have a place to stay?"
"No, not really" Krillin said.
"You two can stay in here, there a some beds here, and I come here a lot".
"Hey Goku!" Krillin said "do we want to stay here?"
Goku just nodded.
"Alright, I promise I'll come back tomorrow morning, it's Saturday then anyway, I'll bring some food and we can talk alright?" Crystal smiled a little to Krillin.
"Yeah, er that's erm great" Krillin stuttered.
Crystal looked surprised at the small blush on his face, there was something about this guy, he made her feel something she never felt before, and for some reason, he looked familiar and trustable.
A/N: Oooooh, a little flirting between Crystal and Krillin, good thing they'll always be a great couple. But what will Krillin do to save her? Will he succeed and if he does, what will the consequences be?? Please tell me what you think, be honest.
