Chapter 5

It was a perfectly clear night; you could see the moonlight shining on the rippling water of the ocean. 18 was sitting on the roof looking at the sliver of moon in the sky. She had been sitting there thinking for a few hours now; she was sure it was way past midnight. She wasn't really concerned with who might have been awake and walking around the house but suddenly she felt a small hand softly land on her shoulder. She looked up to see Krillin looking out at the sea.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" 18 remained silent and she turned her head back at the sea.

"May I sit here with you?" She only nodded a yes not even taking her focus off of whatever was in front of her.

"You know I have never had a brother before but I can still imagine what you must of felt when your brother did what he did, because Goku was like a brother to me as well; he sacrificed himself to save all of us when he killed cell."

"Can we please not talk about my brother?"

"Oh yeah, sure, no problem." They sat in silence for a while just looking out into the big blue.

"I killed so many people, and yet I still don't feel any remorse, it is a constant reminder of how non human I am, all I am is a computer made to kill, when I was 16 I had dreams about finding a true love and having a family, but now who would ever love me knowing I killed so many people and I could have killed them." Krillin looked at her and even though she kept her glare steady at the moon and the sea he could tell it hurt her to think that nobody would ever love her. He gently rested his arm on her back and started rubbing her back for comfort and in response she rested her head on him.

"Now Juu don't talk like that, you can't believe that nonsense, a man would be lucky, extremely lucky to have a woman like you to love him and be with him for the rest of their life, it is not too late for you to find love, I mean look at you, you have the best figure I have ever seen on a woman, and the best part is that you will always stay that way, any guy would be crazy not to love you." She tilted her head down to look at him in the eyes.

"Easy for you to say, people of the opposite sex don't scream in fear every time they see you, thinking that you are still on a killing rampage."

"I don't scream when I see you, I would be so lucky to have a woman like you love me."

"Why? You're not afraid I might kill you one night?"

"I have already told you before I don't believe you are capable of it anymore, especially if you really loved someone."

"But the point is who would be with me long enough to realize I'm not some kind of murderer? You are the only one who thinks I am no longer capable of killing someone."

"Yeah well I never said I didn't love you, it's like I said, I would be a lucky man if I had a woman like you to love Me." after that there where no more words, 18's face softened when she herd him say that, she never would have thought Krillin would ever really 'love' her, she figured maybe an attraction but never love, until now, his face gave it away, he was now like an open book and she read the love that he obviously always felt for her. She closed her eyes as her lips gently touched his in what started as a warm kiss but then Krillin responded and started kissing her back underneath the giant blanket of stars in the night sky.

The next morning 18 was the first to wake up and suddenly she remembered what happened last night and saw Krillin's head next to her he was still asleep and she thanked kami that he still was, she started to panic, she couldn't deal with all this, she wanted to get out of there before he woke up, it was all too sudden, yesterday she thought nobody would ever love her and now she was in his bed with him, not to mention naked, she gently got out of the bed careful not to wake him up, she had to leave, now, she put her clothes on from last night and instantly teleported out of the room and onto the roof, she flew as far away as she possibly could, she had to figure things out before she saw him again, she needed to be alone for a while.

He slowly woke from his slumber and stretched out his arms above his head and then felt the sheet rub against his unclothed body then remembered what happened last night and smiled a sheepish smile and blushed but then noticed that his partner was no longer in bed with him, he looked around and found that his clothes where scattered all over the floor but none of 18's things where there, he figured she must have woken up earlier and just snuck out of his room to go to her own room, he shrugged it off and put on a fresh pair of clothes and headed out of his room and then downstairs.

It was now about late afternoon and she was still gone, Krillin was now really worried, she had maybe an hour till dark but suddenly he saw something coming towards him, he searched for a ki that would designate who it was and sure enough it was her and in a matter of moments she landed on the sand on the edge of the island.

"Juu, I was worried about you, where have you been?"

"You don't need to worry about me, I am stronger than you, I can take care of myself." She said as she walked past him and into the house and soon up to her room, by now he knew there was something wrong with her, then he thought what if last night freaked her out, he finally understood, that was why she left without waking him up, she was freaked out, he instantly went into the house and up to in front of her door and before he even knocked he herd her voice.

"What do you want now Cue ball?" he slowly turned the handle on the door and opened it to find her lying on her bed staring at the sealing. He swallowed his nerves and walked into the room.

"Are you alright Juu? You've been out all day; is there something you want to talk to me about?" Krillin slowly approached the bed.

"I'm sorry."

"Sorry? Sorry about what? Last night with what we did?"

"No, I'm sorry about freaking out and leaving without waking you up or leaving you a note or even any kind of sign that I was alright, I didn't mean to worry you and I don't know why I freaked out like that." By this time he was sitting on the edge of the bed holding her hand.

"It's ok Juu, lots of people do that, except most of the time it's the men who do that, most of the time when they find out that the woman is pregnant." She then stared strait at him.

"Like who?"

"Well, for instance take Vegeta, he left for outer space the instant he found out Bulma was pregnant with his kid, he freaked out and he didn't know how to handle it and he didn't come back until about a week after you and your brother showed up and started destroying everything."

"Would you do that if you found out not only could I have kids but had one right now?" Krillin was trying to figure out what he would say for a few moments then the words spit right out of his mouth.

"No, unlike me Vegeta was very confused about this feeling he had for Bulma, and all he knew was it was going to be a weakness and he didn't want that to happen…but…uh…well…I kind of knew I loved you right from the start, if by some miracle you did have a kid I would not leave you and I know you wouldn't leave me." Krillin's stomach suddenly made a gurgle sound and smiled and looked up at 18 as she gave a weird look in Krillin's direction.

"Well I guess that means it's time for dinner, come on Juu, lets go eat." Krillin got up and offered his hand to 18, she took it and stood up and headed for the door.

hey folks I am proud I started writing this earlier today and now here I am, I am sry I just couldn't put a lemon in such an adorable fic, but hey they finally did it, he confessed that he loved her, well anyway, next chapter is the surgery, and removal of certain hardware and software, and she finds out a shocking surprise about the human characteristics she still has. Big surprise next chappy, I still have not decided weather or not I will have Krillin find out yet about 18's little surgery yet but he is bound to find out when he sees some particular scars on her body from the surgery that he never noticed before.

With much love:
