"Kakarotte, don't blame me if you drop dead after eating those?" Bardock warned his son.

"Why's that?" Kakarotte asked

"Because they might be poisonous you idiot! We have no idea what is edible or not on this planet you simpleton!" Radditz scolded as he smacked his younger brother over the head.

"Ow! But I'm starving"

"Stop it, both of you!" Bardock said as they carried on walking. Kakarotte stopped as he listened intently for a second; he scoured the surrounding area with his eyes.

"Kakarotte?" Bardock asked looking back,

"I thought I heard something. Go on I'll carry on behind." Bardock nodded in understanding and he and Radditz carried on. Kakarotte walked slowly behind, making sure his feet didn't make a sound. His smell had picked something up, he'd never smelt anything like it, and he had to find where that sent was coming from, but it kept moving, either above him or from the side of him. He definitely felt a pair of eyes on him.

Chichi had nearly kicked herself for letting slip a small giggle. She couldn't help it for some reason, she had felt sorry for the male. Never had she been able to give herself away to her prey. And yet as soon as she saw the one called Kakarotte she had made more mistakes today than ever before.

But she had been in such awe when she had first seen the invaders. The only other male she had seen was her father, and guessed that's what all males looked like. But these were all sleekly toned and muscled. It was the one called Kakarotte that had desired her attention, the others had muscles, but this one seemed, well beautiful, she guessed.

His eyes were dark and fathomless. For many minutes she stared at nothing but his eyes. She noted the way his emotions displayed across on his face when, she guessed his sibling, would point out some remark. She had heard him laugh, and had seen the dimples at his cheeks when he flashed a brilliant smile. His hair was so black that it had tones of blue in it.

Her eyes had wandered down then, the armour only covered his body leaving his arms free and unrestricted. She wandered if he would actually fit into anything that covered him, because the size of his muscles were incredible, even when he was relaxed they seemed to be there, intimidating. But as she watched him now, looking, no doubt for her because of the stupid mistake she had made, he was tense and ready. Almost twice she had nearly been seen. Thank Athena she could jump like a jungle cat, high into the trees.

She had been concentrating on him too hard again, as she felt her footstep onto a twig, and before she could move it snapped. She quickly looked through the leaves of the bush and saw him walking towards her. Her heart raced as she moved quickly and jumped into the tress again. She didn't realise she was holding her breath until she let it out slowly when she was in the tree.

Kakarotte had definitely heard something or someone was following them, the broken twig he had found confirmed it. And he guessed that it had moved into the trees again. He could easily fly up there, but this was turning into a game for him. He'd give it this, whatever it was it was definitely quick. But would it be quick enough to dodge a ki blast he wandered?

He could sense exactly where it was now he had a clear scent of it, it was in the tress again. The scent had been driving him mad, it smelt so sweet and inviting, he didn't know why but his body had responded to it.

Kakarotte pretended to start walking again, he heard the movement on the ground again, and it was over to the left of him, a little behind. He looked ahead, Radditz and his father were not in his sight now, but he could still sense where they were with their ki level.

He let the energy form in his hand, holding it for the perfect moment. There! He let go of the small energy blast and watched as it made a small explosion on the ground.

Chichi hadn't had time to move as she saw the energy ball coming straight for her, she had no idea what it was but she knew it could hurt her. Her reflexes took over then as she quickly fired an arrow.

"Shield!" She yelled aloud. She watched in amazement as the ball exploded mere feet from her. Well at least the shield had worked! But before she had time to think of her next move, a dark shadow fell over her body, as she looked up into the eyes of the male.

He looked even more intimidating then before, he must be what? At least another foot or so above her head.

At first glance, he looked somewhat shocked before his face had a self-satisfied smirk on it that she wished to slap from him! She also regained her composure, remembering her bow was ready in her hand. Chichi quickly fired one,

"Smoke!" She said, and quickly jumped into the safety of the trees again.

Kakarotte coughed and tried to keep his eyes open through the smoke to see where she had gone. He had been astounded that it was a female that had been toying with his senses. Well at least he could understand why his body went wild, it was her scent that had been driving him mad.

She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen; well at least from the quick glance he got of her anyway. He wasn't about to let her get away that easily. Especially when he wanted to see more of her.

He used instant transmission to appear before her, Chichi was in shock that he had appeared out of no where, she screamed and then lost her footing on the branch she was on and was now falling down through the canopy. She closed her eyes expecting some sort of pain, but instead something hard caught her, she peeked open one eye and saw him again looking down at her.
