Chapter 4: Campsite in the Mountains

As the sun rose above the horizon it peirced through the cracks of the tent to glare into the lone occupants eyes with a vengence. The figure growled in annoyance and rolled over to try and avoid the light, unfotunately the person didn't figure on rolling over onto their tail. With a screech that would make even Chichi proud, the poor soul jumped straight up into the air to land into a crouching position, panting from the pain. Growling, the Sayi-jin turned and glared at the object of its pain and mumbled, "You just had to grow back.....didn't you!" The sayijin's tail twitched as if to say, "Hey don't blame me! I belong here!" before waving back and forth in agitation.

The camper walked outside and stretched, working the kinks out of their travel weary body, the camper then turned and began the morning exercises that would limber up the body and clear the mind. With the mind clear, the sayijin's thoughts drifted back towards its tail, "How the hell did you manage to grow back? I know I had it permanently removed when I was four years old just so I could blend into this culture. I mean, mother mentioned that it was necessary just before we left to go to the hospital. Why in Kami's name did you decide and manage to grow back....it's just not possible! What the hell will Gohan think!....I can't show him this! "

Pausing for breath, the figure panted while walking around in circles, deep in thought as panic began to well upwards, "I mean, how the hell am _I_ supposed to show up at school tomorrow with a black fuzzy_ tail_ waving in the breeze!! I could try and hide it under my clothes...but its got a mind of its own!" The figure grasped its hair and pulled in a mixture of panic and frustration.

Whirling around, the Sayi-jin glared accusingly at the rising sun and continued, "I really should just chop it off again! But, I know I'd pass out from the pain and _I_ really missed my tail...but..." the tirade was interrupted by a loud rumbling sound that shook the entire campsite. Placing a hand over the mini earthquake, the saijin chuckled sheepishly, "I guess it's time to hunt for breakfast. Now, what could I have today....fish....hmmm...no not today, wolves? Nah, too gamie. Oh, I know...dinosour for breakfast sounds good right now...considering that I really haven't satisfied my hunger for," the Sayi-jin stopped and glanced at the sun to determine the time. "Must be two days now, I know that I left school in a big rush just so I could get up here and hunt. I know that what I eat at school wouldn't keep a bird alive, but I'm glad that I've learned how to hide my differences just so they don't think I'm a freak!"

"GROWWWLLLLL!!!!" the ground shook with the force of the Sayi-jin's stomach's protests to be fed. Glancing down, the person covered their stomach with one hand and muttered, "Alright...already! Sheesh! You'd think that it'd have enough patients until I can catch some lunch." Turning and wrapping the newly regrown tail around their waist, the figure moved off into the woods, ready and willing to tackle any sized dinosaur, just as long as it was big enough to satisfy their hunger.
