Chapter 6: Morning Surprise!

A figure lay in a bed of soft grasses content to just listen to the morning breeze rustle over the trees. When he couldn't stand it anymore, he rolled over and grunted as a sharp pain dug into his back, "Ow! Stupid rocks!" Opening his eyes, he took in his surroundings, frowning he muttered, "How the hell did I end up down here? The last thing I remember is floating above my waterfall last night about to meditate. Then, I felt a sudden painand a strange feeling after I caught the scent of something and then...nothing!" Lifting his hands, Piccolo brought them towards his face to message the pounding headache away and froze in mid motion.

"What the hell happened to me!" he growled in annoyance and continued, turning his hands over to look at his palms, "Why are my hands this color! They look like a humans!" Standing, Piccolo made his way over towards the lake at the bottom of his waterfall and glanced at his reflection. "Holy shit!" he whispered; instead of his normal green skin and pointy ears, his reflection showed a naked man that stood seven feet tall with wild spiky hair that looked ridiculous with a turban mounted on top. Quickly, he removed the turban and let it fall with a loud thump to the ground. Turning around so he faced the water sideways, he looked back towards his reflection and saw a brown furry tail standing out straight behind him in shock.

"I'll kill who ever did this to me! When I find out they're going to wish that they'd never been born!" he growled, clenching his fists in anger. Taking a deep breath to calm down he continued, I've got to talk to Goku...maybe he knows what happened," turning, he headed back towards his resting-place. Rounding a few bushes, he froze at the site of a spiky black hared female lying completely naked in the grass; a bite mark clearly visible on her shoulder. Slowly, the gears in his mind started turning as his memories from last night started to surface and as he unconsciously whispered her name, "Diana...."

**Flashback**

After the pain had faded, the newly made Sayi-jin called Piccolo caught the scent of something on the breeze and all rational thought left him as his newly acquired Sayi-jin instincts roared to life. Sniffing the air to confirm the direction, he followed his nose towards the origin of the arousing scent. Suddenly, a tent came into view and he froze as he took stock of his surroundings. Forested land could be seen for miles around from his vantage-point on a large boulder overlooking the camp. Lifting his nose, Piccolo growled, "It's got to be here somewhere!" The wind blew gently in his direction bringing with it that strange and compelling scent towards his nostrils. Snapping his head around, Piccolo eyed the tent in the clearing with a smirk. "I'd better make my presence known since I don't want to scare the prey away," he whispered as he slowly made his way towards the tent.

Hello! Anyone here? he shouted, knowing quite well that the tent was occupied.

The sound of a zipper being used echoed loudly in the clearing; a black hared head popped out of the opening as the owner of the camp looked around for the source of the noise and a female voice replied, Who's there! Show yourself!

The newly made Sayi-jin's smirk widened into a full blown grin at the sight of the most beautiful creature he'd ever seen. Her hair fell in gentle waves past her waist, her eyes were a rich chocolate brown and her skin shone in the moonlight with a pale luster, while all this made her beautiful, it was her height that was her most striking feature; she stood well over six feet tall. If he stood next to her, her head would be just below his chin. Piccolo had never seen a human that had that type of stature before and purred quietly in satisfaction. Taking a deeper breath, he took in more of her scent and thought, before answering, My name is Piccolo...I live around here.

The woman stood next to her tent and extended her hand, My name is Diana...It's nice to meet you.

Nodding his head, he unconsciously purred his reply,"likewise," before stepping closer until the lamplight from inside her tent illuminated his face. Diana inhaled in shocked surprise at the sight of such a handsome man, his muscles were huge and strangely she found that attractive. Piccolo cleared his throat, instinctively aware that his pheromones were doing their job. At the sudden sound, she jumped and turned her attention back towards his face and heard him reply, I saw your light from the tent and came to investigate.


God he's so hot! she thought, blushing beat red and stammering, I'm sorry, I should have explored further to see if this place was deserted. I didn't see a house nearbyso I set up my camp. I can leave and find a better spot if you like.


Piccolo closed the last few feet until he was standing inches away, leaning down until they were nose to nose he whispered seductively, That's all right, my home is the cave in back of the waterfall. He inhaled her scent again, straining against his baser urges to pounce on her and throw her to the ground. Lifting his hand, he brushed it against her cheek in a tender caress as his lips neared her mouth and murmured, I don't get many visitors around here.

Lost in the gentle caress, Diana leaned closer while inhaling his distinct odor. Suddenly, heat flashed through her belly and her desire for him exploded, Oh God. I want him so bad, she thought, licking her lips in anticipation.

Suddenly, his lips covered hers, it was a demand that she respond, a demand that she couldn't deny. Within the space of a second, Diana responded with equal passion, her arms wrapped around his shoulders, bringing him close enough to feel her breasts against his chest. Letting out a moan of desire, Piccolo brushed her hair away from her neck while slowly kissing his way down towards her exposed shoulder. Positioning his sharp canines, he suddenly bit down, sinking his fangs deep into her shoulder and claiming her as his mate.

Diana cried out at the sudden pain and gathered her strength to push him away when suddenly a light surrounded her body and new pain wracked her system. Her spine felt like someone was trying to rip it out through her back. It became so painful that when the pain ended it left her dazed. A growl sounded close to her ear, followed by pleasure beyond her imagination as he ran his hand along her newly made appendage. Vaguely she acknowledged the sound of her blood being swallowed; pleasure exploded through her system with each swipe of his tongue against her skin. Instincts she had never known roared to life, turning her head she opened her mouth and bit his shoulder, accepting him as her mate.

Piccolo felt her teeth sink into his neck and groaned deep in his throat as pleasure soared throughout his system. Mating instincts he had managed to hold back took over and he ripped her clothes off her body. Diana growled at her mates reaction to her bite, she grasped his clothes in her hands and pulled them from his body. Running her hands against his naked chest, she lowered her head and kissed her way down towards his belly, nipping and sucking along the way. Her hands made their own journey down his muscular flanks and towards his tail at the base of his spine. At the first brush of her fingertips against the sensitive appendage, Piccolo lost all control over his actions and threw her to the ground, biting and sucking wildly.

Strangely, Diana enjoyed this savage assault and responded in kind, opening her legs wide, she wrapped them around his waist, drawing him close to her dripping core and growled, "Now! I need you now!"

At those words, Piccolo slammed his throbbing heat into her, electing a scream of pleasure from his mate. Pumping himself in and out of her body, he brought her to completion several times throughout the night and well into the early morning until a new spark of ki made itself known. Instinctively sensing the new life, his purpose fulfilled, he collapsed in exhaustion and both of them drifted off into a well deserved rest........

**End Flashback**

His memories were interrupted by his mates groan as she stretched her weary muscles. "Ooh, what the hell happened?" Opening her eyes and glancing around, she froze at the site of a naked male standing in front of her. Her jaw dropped in surprise and she thought, "Oh my god! Who the hell is he?"

Hearing her thoughts echo through his mind, Piccolo responded, "I'm Piccolo... as I told you last night."

Diana gasped as memories of the past night rushed through her mind and whispered, "You mean that it wasn't a dream?"

Sighing in resignation, Piccolo wrapped his tail around his waist and knelt in front of her while replying, "No. Apparently someone made a wish on the dragonballs and turning me into a Sayi-jin was the result. Only...in this case, I think that Shenlong has a weird sense of humor." he reached for something in back of her, gently grasped it in his hands and brought it around for her to see. "Apparently he took the wish to broadly and decided to include anyone that would also become my mate."

Diana stared at the brown furry tail that hung limply in his grasp before growling, "What the hell is that?"

"This," he stroked the tail in his grasp, electing shivers of pleasure to shoot up her spine, "is part of what makes us Sayi-jin. The rest is our enormous strength and appetites for food and fighting."

"Then, what we did last night made us what, exactly?" she furrowed her brow in confusion as she eyed the bite mark on his shoulder.

Noticing the direction of her gaze, he replied mentally, *Apparently, when I bit you and you returned my bite, I became your mate and you became mine. We've got to go talk to a friend of mine, he'll know what's going on. Oh...and another thing, just before we fell asleep, I detected a faint trace of a new life.....Diana?*

*What...what is it....am I sick?* she unknowingly spoke directly into his mind.

Piccolo knew that it was possible but he had never expected it to ever happen to him in this way before. "No, your pregnant" he said bluntly.

"WHAT!"
