Only Because I Like Living In Hell

A/N: Yayee! I got a review that actually compliments the story and is not from a person I forced to review! ::hugs esteebee:: Arigatou gozaimasu. I hope I get more reviewers…I've been thinking real hard on this story. By the way, in most of my stories, I don't note the lyrics I use. The ones in this chapter are from Tool's Sober. An excellent song, believe me.
Chapter 6
Tien and Chiaozu faced off. Even though the two had been long time training partners, it was pretty obvious Tien was the victor. But still, during the fight, Chiaozu had given his heart into the match and it was still a good fight in the end.
The first round was going to end soon. There was only the fight between Krillin and Saria, then the fight between Vegeta and Moreebdeth. Everyone was surprised at how the matches had whizzed by so fast.
Trunks kept on looking at Saria. This time, he could see her fight. She would have to show power in front of Krillin. It was only a matter of time before she would be defeated and out of his thoughts forever. He still had no idea why, but the vision of her was constantly in his mind. Sometimes, when he would have visions of her that seemed so real, he was starting to want to reach out and touch her.
He shook his lavender head violently. She was just a snake bite.
But he forced himself to look up at her, and he felt like his mouth was watering and drying up at the same time.
A very addicting snake bite.
It just made him hate her more.
"Saria-chaaan!" Hallie pulled Saria into a bear hug, but Saria just let herself be grasped like a rag doll.
"You want something?"
"Um, yeah!" Hallie looked at her strangely. "To wish you good luck, dur."
Saria lifted her eyebrow and hummed for a second. "Well…thanks for the, um…support. Can you…get off me Hallie?" Hallie stopped smiling and realized she was practically on top of Saria. She smiled sheepishly and jumped off her friend.
Saria dusted herself off and sighed. The tournament was about to turn around, she was sure of it. Hallie had only been matched with a normal human. Saria was matched with Krillin, who, although the weakest of the Z Fighters, was far stronger than that Dan person, who, by the way, was having a wonderful time in the recovery room with his companion through pain, C.
Saria grinned at the thought of the two humans lying, hurting.
Trunks unsteadily looked at Saria. Krillin, his friend, was going up against her. It was like he was fighting her himself. Every time he looked at her, there was this dark shadow…
Krillin flexed his arms; standing the whole time was making him stiff. He looked over at Saria for a moment, but then back towards the arena. He smiled to himself; victory for sure. Krillin saw the announcer walk onto the stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Be prepared for another flared fight! Another one of our mystery women is fighting against our tournament veteran, Krillin. This should be very entertaining, folks!"
Krillin sighed with a smile of his face. He took one step towards the gate, but he stopped as soon as he heard Saria's boots behind him. Krillin froze when he felt ice starting at the base of his spine. He looked up at Saria as he walked by. She seemed to be walking by so slowly…her eyes were set dead ahead, like she only had one reason to be there. He bit his lip; she made him nervous, the way she was just so…set. There was a darkness to this girl, a dark mission that somehow she just had to complete, and Krillin had a feeling she was going to demonstrate on him.
//::// There's a shadow just behind me,
shrouding every step I take,
making every promise empty,
pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler
who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path called "must we"
just before the son has come //:://
He shook his bald head furiously. No, he was stronger than her. There was nothing to get all nervous about. Seriously, this girl looked like a biker chick that had just gotten out of high school, who was trying to make money buy looking tough and entering a martial arts contest. She was hoping maybe to get a guy to notice her, go out with her, and give her a little cash here and then.
Oh great, Krillin frowned, now I don't know whether to feel bad or not when I defeat her.
But the way she had bit him with the venom in her words. Even by just saying "I don't think so," it was the way she sneered, the way she glared, it irritated him.
Alright, he cracked his knuckles and started for the ring, I'm gonna get this over with.
The two competitors stood on the stage. The announcer looked at them and told them to start fighting, but nothing was happening.
Surprise, surprise.
//::// Jesus, won't you fucking
whistle
something but the past and done?
Jesus, won't you fucking whistle
Something but the past and done? //:://
Saria blinked a few times, the wind getting in her eyes. She wanted the little man to make a first move. It was so boring to try and decide what attack to use on the first move. There were so many…she figured one would pop into her head when she defended against his move.
Which was far from what she wanted to do. She wanted to really hurt him, prove everyone fucking Z Fighter wrong about her. Hallie was unfortunate with being matched with Dan, and she had the chance to make up for that. But to waste all her time on Krillin…
…who, by the way, she knew all about. She knew every statistic, secret, and thought of the whole team. Krillin: Race, Human, Japanese version of his name, Kuririn. Age, maybe in the thirties. Saria really didn't give a shit how old this guy what and didn't exactly want to dote on the thought. Birthday, June 14th. Height, five feet, two inches. Weight, 153 lbs, which is mostly muscle. Eye color, black, and, if his hair grew, that would be black as well. Saria thought it was depressing she knew so much about him.
Although the weakest of the Z Fighters, he is the strongest human on the earth. It still wasn't enough to compete with his companions, but he had to do. For now.
What I want is Vegeta. I must fight Vegeta...she licked her pink lips and eyed Trunks with a grin. And then him. It made her shiver with satisfaction the way he shivered when she looked at him like that.
She realized that she had drifted off into thought, because she had a match that wasn't going anywhere right before her, and everyone was looking at her with questioning looks.
Saria shrugged. "Good majevos*, this isn't going anywhere is it?" She exhaled, letting her shoulders sink. She closed her eyes casually for a minute, before she opened them again, and the relaxedness that had occupied her was gone. She narrowed her violet eyes and grit her teeth. "Alright," she growled.
Krillin rose his eyebrows at her. What?
Saria softened her fierceness a little, but still had a scowl on her face. "Alright, midget, this is how we solve our little problem. I really don't feel like attacking you, because I don't exactly feel like thinking now. So," she rolled her tongue, "you attack me, and the match will be over. Got it?"
Krillin moped. Is there some disorder this girl has? He sighed. Oh well, I guess I better start. She doesn't look like she's going to do anything.
As we have clearly seen, everyone seems to be making stupid mistakes.
However, Krillin stopped before he charged. Dan had done the same thing, and he almost died from Hallie's response. Hallie's attack was cruel, regular human or freak being. Almost no one in a martial arts tournament looked to break someone's back…literally.
Krillin took a deep breath and calmed himself, studying Saria. Alright…I have to think of something. Definitely not a direct attack. Maybe if I wait long enough, before we reach the time limit, she might get impatient and attack me.
Saria bit her lip in annoyance. "You know, Krillin, you could have said so if you wanted me to attack first," she said softly. Her lips twisted up into a grin, and she started walking.
She saw Krillin tense, and her smile grew. "You know, Hallie started off her match the same way." Saria licked her lips and advanced on him. He couldn't even shake, because his limbs refused to move. Soon, he was on his toes and stuck there, like a stone statue. It was as if invisible cement was surrounding him.
The only thing his eyes could see was the evil spreading in Saria's deep purple eyes.
//:://Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over //:://
Trunks' eyes widened, and he felt everyone around him tense up. There was something wrong her. This was different then Hallie. Because around Saria, a strange dark mist was forming…
Casually swaying her hips, she strode over towards Krillin.
All of the Z Fighters already had their eyes shut tight. This was going to get ugly.
CRACK!
//:://I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well
I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
just enough to bring you down //:://

*majevos – (mah-hyey-vose (the hy part is said very fast and slurred. Like the grl in gracias. Think Spanish)) plural form of majevo. It's in Saria's language and means gods.
BTW, the stats about Krillin (his height and weight and stuff) is pure fact and is not made up. However, I am not sure of his age. If anyone has any stats of the DBZ characters, ANY of them, I need them. Please email me them or put them in a review, because I need them for later in the future, and it takes away writing time trying to find them on the internet.
