My heart was broken. I was more in love with Gohan than ever and it seemed to me like he didn't care. It was horrible. He began avoiding me and I felt as if my entire world were crashing around me. Could life be anymore unfair? That is why I made a drastic decision…
"Gohan?" without waiting for a reply the purpled haired teen named Trunks poked his head in the older saiyans room. Gohan who was stretched out on his bed with his eyes shut said lazily, "Ever hear of knocking?" Trunks smiled sheepishly and said, "Sorry, but I was wondering if you know where Kiwi is? She took off about 4 hours ago." Gohan shook his head slightly keeping his eyes shut. "She's probably at her friends house. You know the one with the red hair and funny accent. You know how girls are." Trunks nodded and gave his thanks leaving Gohan to glare suspiciously at the ceiling…
Nearly ten miles away Kiwi lay on the ground staring at the quickly darkening sky. Shifting slightly to relieve the ache in her back the girl sighed as she thought, it was the only option. I cannot continue to live in that house knowing he hates me… Gohan…he was sooooo hot…her friend Alloy had told her she was lucky to live with such a hot guy. She smiled impishly until a familiar voice nearby snapped, "I don't care who you are, you're about to die whether or not you want to."
Kiwi crawled toward the voice and confirmed her suspicions. It was 17 dragging a boy older than her through the woods. "You're nothing but a blood thirsty liar! After you kill me your going to back to the village and kill everyone else!" 17 rolled his eyes at the young man and snapped, "Took you long enough. Bwahahaha! Are you ready to die?" he threw the guy onto the ground and raised a burning hand. The man on the round flung up his arms up as a voice yelled, "17, you creep!"
Jerking towards the voice, 17 allowed the chi blast to fly by the man and hit a nearby tree. Kiwi stood before him with her hands on her slim hips. With her dark hair curled around her face and with her snapping jade eyes, 17 had to admit she was cute. The android smirked and said dryly, "Well, if it isn't one of the twerps. Have come to see me sacrifice this villager?" Kiwi gave him a disgusted look and snapped, "You're a freak. Why don't you make things easy and get lost?"
17's reply was to suddenly disappear. Tensing, Kiwi turned just in time to barely block his kick. Knocking him away from her she breathed heavily, she may have a saiyan as her mentor but Gohan had never let her train with him and Trunks. 17 flew forward and knocked her backwards against a tree. Pain screamed through every cell of her body as the girl fell face forward on the ground. While blackness tainted her image Kiwi heard 17 laugh and say, "So long brat."
"mmm…" warm arms encircled the nearly unconscious girl and she clung closer to the one holding her. Gentle hands smoothed the hair away form her face and Kiwi opened her eyes to find herself staring into the most astonishing pair of purple eyes. Relief filled them and a low male voice said, "Thank Dende you've awoken." Blinking Kiwi realized that it was the man 17 planned to kill. Up close Kiwi could how his dark hair was swept back allowing several chunks of it to frame his face. The slight smile and trivial upturn of his nose made him nearly as handsome as Gohan.
The man helped her stand and said smiling, "I give you many thanks. I am Sunbird of the Tree-people. You are?" frowning slightly at the ache in her legs she said softly, "I'm Kiwi Briefs. Are you alright?" Sunbird smiled and said, "I owe you much Kiwi Briefs. Shall I help you back to your home." Kiwi widened her eyes and started to protest but Sunbird gently touched a finger to her mouth and said, "It is but a petty way to give you my thanks. Besides, you are in no condition to walk."
With out waiting for her to accept Sunbird swept the battered girl into his arms as if she weighed as much as a grain of sand. Blushing profoundly Kiwi managed to tell Sunbird where her camp lay. Arriving the girl began to pack her things knowing she couldn't stay with her wounds. "So Sunbird, are you going to go back to your village?" Sunbird gave her a sad look and said, "I cannot…I checked while you were unconscious. Everyone is dead. If it's not to much trouble may I go with you?"
As Kiwi blushed once more at the serious look in Sunbird's eyes, all thoughts of Gohan evaporated in her mind. "O-Of course! Well…I'm done here. Shall we get going?"
Bulma lay on the couch with a concerned look on her face. Where was Kiwi? She had never pulled a trick like this before. A warm hand landed on her shoulder and Bulma looked up into Gohan's gentle face. "Don't worry Bulma…if Kiwi's not back in another hour, I'm going to go out and look for her." Bulma nodded mutely before saying softly, "Gohan…I'm not sure if you know this but I believe Kiwi has a crush on you." Gohan started slightly but managed to say calmly, "What are you talking about? Why on earth would she like me?"
Bulma twisted to look at him. "Gohan, you are everything to Kiwi. With out you…she'd probably die. And I noticed that lately you've been…how do I put it? Oh, avoiding her. Is there a reason why?" Gohan ducked his head so Bulma wouldn't see the blush that had crept up his face. "Uhhh…no I've just, uhhh, been busy." Bulma stared at him suspiciously but didn't talk because the doorbell rang. The yell Bulma let out had Gohan covering his ears. "O MY GOODNESS! WHAT HAPPENED! IS SHE ALL RIGHT!" Gohan turned just in time to see a tall man standing at the door holding what appeared to be an unconscious Kiwi to his chest.
Ladedadeda! Imso glad I finally finished this chappie! Srry it took so long but I've been pretty busy lately so… later, and tell me what you people think about Sunbird!
