¿Who are you really?
It was a beautiful sunny morning in the mountain Paozu, with singing birds and creatures of all kinds coming out of their nocturnal hiding places, while many others went to sleep, and the light of the sun shone through the windows of a modest little house in the saiyan's family lived.
The sunlight, with its two faces of always was friendly and peaceful coming through the windows of the room, and for the young alien girl there dozing was a bit annoying to feel in those moments …
That light was dim ... But that didn't stop being annoying, almost unbearable. Finally the blue orbs of the girl opened a little dazzled by the brightness. She changed her position in the bed to get away from that light, but ... observing everything around her ... What was there? How...? Wait ... Where was she?
She sat on the bed, knees to her chest, as if to prepare herself to repel any kind of danger while looking in all directions trying to recognize the place where she was when weak knocks at the door called her attention...
- Kalula? Are you awake?
She recognized that voice ... That voice was ...
- Kalula?
-Y- Yes! - she answered the one he knew was on the other side of the door.
Suddenly, the door opened.
-Good morning - she said as the woman came in and the first thing she did was sit on the bed next to the guest - How are you? Do you feel better?
Kalula was going to respond when she felt the other place a hand on her forehead, taking her by surprise and almost causing her to turn away.
-I-I'm fine ... - she replied timidly making Chi Chi smile.
-Perfect - she said - by the way, breakfast is almost ready, so hurry up - and with one last smile, she left the room.
As Chi Chi had said the breakfast was almost ready and the hungry house saiyan were the first to appear at the table
Kalula still felt that it was a hindrance to this family, she didn't know anything about them and she didn't understand why they were so kind to her if they didn't know her ... Moreover, she preferred that they did not know who she really was, she didn't want to go back to remember what her life was like before she came to earth even if it was for an ephemeral second
When she appeared, the breakfast was already served at the table and a certain Saiyan...
-Hello kalula, good morning! - the little boy smiled happily with a smile and took her hand - how did you wake up today?
-A little better ... - she answered
-Sit down to have breakfast with us - Goku said eating
-Dad leave something to kalula, don't eat everything! - asked his eldest son
-Don't worry Gohan - his mother tried to calm him down - I know your father well enough to know that he would wipe everything on the table that fast.
Gohan laughed nervously at the comment and the heroic gesture on his mother's face ... sometimes the mothers were afraid.
The girl walked a little stooped by the little Goten who still had her hand.
-Sit with me! - He said - You know? Today Trunks is coming to play, it's going to be fun! Since Gohan has a girlfriend he hasn't been able to spend time with us - the latter said it with a bit of annoyance and some sadness ... - But now that you are here we can have fun! - He ended with a smile from ear to ear
Already at noon, Kalula was sitting alone on the lawn while observing almost inexpressively the little one who told him about his games and "adventures" in the company of his friend Trunks who had arrived at the end of breakfast with a big smile.
When they finished talking, they wanted to go "play" a bit further from the house but Kalula, somehow seeing them having fun produced in her a feeling of nostalgic ...
The feeling increased more and more each time she saw them in their games; laughing, talking, smiling, they seemed so happy.
Yes, happy despite their games being a bit ... violent ... A fight here and another there, but, it seemed that they had fun ...
She couldn't continue to see them, her blue eyes were a little watery and for fear of being discovered by the children she decided to lower her eyes a bit but ...
- Kalula? - She looked at him - what's wrong? - Goten asked something worried
-It's nothing ... - she answered weakly trying to hide that feeling in her eyes, that feeling of seeing a past life again ... There at a time when she seemed happy.
-Then why that face? - the other child asked
-It's just…
- Come on, tell us! - he insisted stubbornly
-See you two having fun like that, you reminded my brothers to play together ...
-YOU'VE GOT BROTHERS? - they asked a duet
-Yes ... - she answered almost in a sigh
-You never told us about your family - Goten sat next to her - and how are they? - he asked again
-How many do you have? - Trunks questioned
-We are 5 brothers.
-What envy! - Trunks expressed with a slight pout - you don't know how horrendous it is to be an only child.
-Don't worry, you'll soon have a little brother to play with - his friend consoled him with a smile.
-You have no idea how boring it is to live alone in a huge house! - He crossed his arms in a gesture of nonconformity
-But you are not alone, you have your parents, your grandparents and all your pets - Goten pointed.
-Is not the same! - Trunks pointed out - Kalula, would you lend me to any of your brothers one day?
-Maybe, I think ...
-Tell us one thing - Trunks continued - where are your brothers? I find it strange that they are not with you
-I don't know ... - she said something sad
-Well, I'm sure they stayed on your planet, right? - Goten added naively.
-Goten, if some bad guys chased you Gohan would follow you to help you right? - Trunks asked becoming the wise man.
-Yes!
-I suppose her brothers would do the same.
-Oh ... - he exclaimed as affirmation
-The truth is ... - she began, the children looked at her - I don't know where they can be right now ...
- As you do not know? - Trunks replied - Didn't they stay on your planet?
- You don't know if they are on earth? - Goten continued.
-Goten, trunks ... - she stood up - don't get me wrong but I don't want to continue talking about this topic ... - she retired in the direction of the house
-But Kalula, don't you want us to help you find them? - Goten asked him gently.
-It's ok ... - she answered curtly and without turning to see him
- At least you know if they are alive, right? - Trunks asked but she didn't answer and she entered the house - why not trust us? - he asked confused his partner
-I don't know…
"They are alive right?" ... That question resonated inside her head ... How to respond to little trunks? Not even she herself knew if they were alive, where they were or if they were looking for her ...
She hadn't known anything about them for years and she doubted that after all this time they would recognize her
- Kalula? - Chi Chi called her and she stopped - did something happen out there?
-N-no ... Nothing happened ...
-Come, I have to change your bandages again - she invited her to sit down and she agreed to take a seat - let's see ... - she removed the bandage from her arm and she observed the wound - good news, it is beginning to heal - she informed her smiling but the young woman turned her gaze away causing confusion
While Chi Chi changed her old bandages for new ones, she could see perfectly that Kalula wanted to flee. She didn't dare to even look at her in the eyes, she looked blankly to the void waiting for her to finish curing her ... So much was the fear that she had them? It was really strange that she was so afraid just to try to help her.
Maybe in the past she had a very hard life and surely no one had ever shown her the care and affection of a person. In the future, she will teach her new things and that not all people are equal, that will be her main objective.
When evening fell, the goku's family met in the capsule corporation and Kalula agreed to go without much encouragement with them; the house would be empty and it would be very boring to be alone without doing anything.
The guest had isolated herself from the others and had sat on the lawn while she watched the fights of the Z warriors
The women of each family were worried about the attitude that this young woman had towards them, they wanted Kalula to join the group so that she wouldn't be alone so long but apparently it would be quite difficult to achieve that goal; She was very shy and she didn't dare talk to anyone.
But why should she be so afraid if they did not have bad intentions? On the contrary, they wanted to help her and to open up to others but Kalula refused to do it, it wasn't good for her health to be all the time with that expression of sadness on her face.
-Come Kalula! - Trunks called her along with goten and she went with them - I'll show you all my house! - he said with enthusiasm
-But it's huge! we're going to take a lot ... - Goten declared with some laziness
-Goten, I'm not going to teach it complete, the boring parts do not count.
-None of that children - a larger voice was heard interrupting - Kalula will speak with us ... - and before anyone could protest, Bulma took the girl by the arm to have a serious conversation.
-Hello Kalula! - the daughter of mr. Satan greeted her cheerfully
-Hello ... - she answered dryly and sadly
-Kalula ... - Chi chi started talking - there's something we want to ask you
She was surprised by this, a slight chill ran through her with those three pairs of eyes staring at her.
-A-ask me? - she stuttered a little
-Kalula, since you arrived we have noticed that you always stay away from us even though we want to help you.
The aforementioned turned her gaze to the floor, completely avoiding the looks that caused her such discomfort.
-I don't know what do you mean. - she said.
-Kalula, we're worried that ... - Videl seemed about to say something when the green-haired girl continued
-You don't have nothing to worry about - she answered something quickly taking a step back.
-Kalula, please tell us, we can help you.
-I'm sorry, but ... - She seemed to fight a moment with some tears that threatened to come out of her eyes- … You can't help me
-Kalula, enough is enough - Bulma started to get angry, now she looked like an angry mother about to scold like only a mother does with a teenager - How can you be so foolish? Why do you insist on not trusting us? We just want to help you, but we will not know how to do it if you do not tell us what's wrong.
-Bulma is right - Chi Chi spoke a little more worried - you shouldn't be afraid to show what you feel, if something bothers you or makes you feel bad just say it.
She could not do more than look at the ground still holding the desire to mourn and trembling, not only of fear but also of sadness and helplessness, she wanted to escape, she wanted to flee from there. But ... Why did these people insist on treating her in such a ... kind way?
-Tell us please - Videl asked
-I can't … I'm sorry ...
She retired from the conversation breathing in relief, they were really scaring her with so many questions, her mind was screaming at her that it was time to run away and hide in a place where she would never be found again.
-Hey kalula! - Goku called her from heaven - do you want to train with us?
-T-train? - She repeated, confused and somewhat fearful.
- Come on, cheer up - gohan said - we want to see your skills
-B-but ...- she tried to find in her mind a good excuse to avoid that.
-Yes! Go Kalula! - Goten said to one side of her - it will be fun!
-I-I'm sorry ... but ... I ... I'm too weak - she answered with a downcast look.
-Well ... that was not what Mr. Piccolo said about you - Trunks added.
-I-I... I don't know what you're talking about ... - she said confused.
- Your appearance says otherwise - Vegeta began to say crossed arms - but according to that scoundrel said you were strong enough, I would like to check if his theory is true - he adopted combat position
-No ... They're wrong, I do not have those powers ... - she stepped back a few steps
-Hey vegeta - Goku interrupted - wait your turn, I asked him to train with me first! - he complained
-What makes you believe that I will obey you? - he asked ironic
Kalula was getting scared and getting even more confused. What were they talking about? She didn't understand it, but just the least expected someone came to her rescue ...
-Please boys ...
It heard someone whose appearance always included dark glasses, a bald head and a long white beard
- Do not you see that they scare the poor girl? - The master Roshi immediately stood next to the girl - but if you want, I could be the right opponent for Miss Kalula ...
- If you are me too - Oolong pointed while taking the form of master roshi.
-Of course not, I'm master Roshi and you're just a mere imitator! - the old man pointed his staff raised in a threatening manner.
-No - and the other imitated the same movement - I am the real master and you the imitator!
While the others watched the master and oolong fight, Kalula took the opportunity to leave his field of vision ... but that did not mean what would go unnoticed by a pair of kids.
-Ah ... how boring! Why do adults among the older less act according to their age? - Trunks indicated with a gesture of satiety similar to that of vegeta.
-Kalula, why did not you want to fight with my dad? - Goten asked
- Not with mine either? We expected this to be an entertaining fight.
-Because ... I don't want to ... - she answered timidly returning to sit alone on the lawn
-I'm starting to doubt if Mr. Piccolo is right. No matter how much we ask her, she refuses to fight! - Trunks complained quite upset
-Maybe she doesn't like to fight, that reminds me of what my mom told me when my brother was a kid
-But this case is different, so I see Kalula is afraid of us and the fight ... - he made a small pause - all the adults lie ...
-But ... - Goten began to say naively - why would Mr. Piccolo lie in that?
-Things of adults gotten, it's not worth it, adults are complicated
-But Mr. Piccolo is not like other adults - Goten said
-Then ... maybe he did it to make fun of us. - Trunks pointed - You'll see! No adult will ever lie to us again! I'm going to take the truth out by force ...
- Who are you going to get what truth, dwarf? - Piccolo asked a little annoyed making trunks freeze with his voice.
- Mr. Piccolo! - Gohan was the first to say hello
-Hello gohan - he returned the greeting almost with pleasure of his presence.
-What brings you here? - Goku asked something curious
-Nothing, just happened to be here - he said in a dry tone, although he really did it only because the young kami-sama was insisting that he do it all that day (telepathically of course)
- Mr. Piccolo - Goten started - there is something we want to ask you
-Tell me goten.
- Are you sure that Kalula is as strong as you described it?
- Kalula? - the namek asked with some surprise.
-Don't play dumb with us, we talked about your girlfriend who rescued the other day - Trunks pointed out
-WHAT DID YOU SAY!? Stop saying nonsense! - He shouted at them angry
-Yeah, yeah, of course - Trunks repeated ignoring him - you should feel lucky, I don't think that someone supports that bad attitude you have
-Look you cocky boy, she is not my girlfriend! - he shouted again.
-Please! If I did not believe my parents' lies, why would I believe you? Let's go goten. Oh! And if you're looking for her, she's sitting in that place - with that said he retired to train with his partner
Piccolo was furious, he began to wonder how it was that child learned to speak and survived to reach the age he had now ...
Although they had already moved several steps away, they were still heard saying ...
-What lie did your parents tell you trunks?
- Once I asked them where the babies came from and they told me that a stork brings them - he answered with some anger.
For some reason the Muten Roshi approached piccolo with great confidence.
-So, aren't you going to greet your girlfriend properly?
-She is not my girlfriend! - The namek declared with even more fury.
-Relax Piccolo! But ... you said she was very strong, is it really?
-I just said that she launched a very powerful attack, I never said she was strong. - he clarified still with anger in his voice.
While the others were questioning Piccolo, Kalula was lost in thought and she thought that perhaps that woman named Bulma was right, she should give them a chance and tell them what was wrong as they had shown that they were different people she had known before.
She stood up but before she could move towards them something stopped her: a white cloak, a cloak that became very familiar ... Could it be the stranger who had saved her? She had to find out so she timidly approached the others.
-Look everyone, Kalula is coming here! - Goku pointed
-Let's let alone Mr. Piccolo with his girlfriend, they have a lot to talk about - trunks said with a roguish tone
-She's not my girlfriend! - He threatened him with his fist
-Yeah yeah of course, Gohan said the same about Videl ... - Goten pointed this time
-G-goten ... - Gohan could not stop his cheeks from turning red
The others had retired or rather were hidden to listen to the conversation; that is nobody knows what could happen between a man and a woman
She was a little nervous, she had never done this before: talking to someone she didn't know but she took courage to talk to him ...
When she looked at him closely she noticed that he had certain similar characteristics: pointy ears and a striking skin tone. That certainly surprised her, she always thought that those of her race were the only ones with those characteristics but now she understood that this universe was huge and that there were different races in the world.
-You are Kalula, right?
-Y-yes ... who are you?
-I'm piccolo.
- First of all I want to thank you ... For saving my life ... - she thanked timidly without seeing him in the eyes.
-What kind of fighter are you? You were about to die in that fight
-I ... I don't know what you mean ... - she answered even with a deviant look.
-You know what I'm talking about - he looked at her out of the corner of his eye - your way of fighting is that of a beginner
-I ... I don't know how to fight ... - she answered almost to the edge of tears.
-I thought so - he answered curtly - however what intrigues me are your powers
-What Powers? - she asked with a bit of strangeness
-Looking at first you look very weak but your powers are amazing, I would like you to show me now
-I- I don't know what you're talking about ... - she stepped back a few steps
-It seems that you haven't noticed but your hidden power is impressive, I could see it when you were in danger
-You're wrong, I don't have that power ...
-Don't lie me! - He warned - You must remember something before you lost consciousness!
- I ... - she tried hard to remember, but it did not seem very clear in her head - I'm sorry, but you're wrong …
Kalula was beginning to feel afraid, she couldn't talk or get away from him but above all she couldn't believe that her savior had such a strong character. How to answer him with those eyes that stared at her? His gaze was penetrating and somewhat intimidating, but for some reason she thought that those black eyes were very cute even though his personality was ... A bit aggressive
Piccolo was beginning to lose his patience. How could she say that she didn't have those powers if he saw her do it himself? And something else ... Why didn't she dare look him in the eye? Was she so afraid of making a simple eye contact?
He had to make her talk but how? He was never kind to anyone, especially women, and this was beginning to be a great nuisance ... He had to find the best way to question her, so he calmed down, maybe he was being hard on her and that was probably making her uncomfortable.
-Do you really remember anything? - he asked her more nicely and he observed that the girl agreed to look at his face, something he didn't expect.
-No ... - she said a little sad - the only thing I remember is that you rescued me from those monsters that came after me. I recognized you by your white cloak, after that I fainted ...
-I want you to answer this, what are you looking for on earth? Do you plan to destroy it? - he asked with some distrust
-No, of course not ... I fell on this planet by accident, I don't plan to destroy it ...
-I think you're right ... If you had been someone else, you would have destroyed the earth the moment you appeared and attacked others - he paused a little - but that doesn't mean I trusts you.
-It's okay…
-I will ask you one more question; Who were those monsters that chased you? What did they want from you?
-I'm sorry, but you can't know ... - she lowered her gaze again taking a few small steps back
-Why not? I demand that you tell me who is the one behind all this - he took a few steps forward making the girl go back even more.
The others listened carefully to the conversation hidden in their hiding places so they would not notice his presence, for a few seconds they thought that as piccolo was approaching that girl would try to hug her or something, which was very strange since he never showed kind to people, especially to women.
When they saw the face of the namekusei, who was serious and annoyed, bulma and chi chi assumed that he would try to hit her so they came to the rescue of the young woman
-Not one more step Piccolo! - Chi Chi said protecting Kalula
-What did you plan to do? - Bulma continued
-What isn't obvious mom? - He came out of hiding - what any man would do with his girlfriend - Trunks said with extreme insouciance.
-Damn brat! SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND! - he shouted furious
Just after Piccolo threatened the eldest son of the saiyan prince, the other boy asked ...
-What are the couple supposed to do?
The mothers did not know how to answer to this ... They went red and then ...
- Children, go to play! - the women ordered with an evil aura about them
-Yes mom! - the children shouted at the same time ... Why did they scold them? If they had not said anything bad ...
-I don't want you to misunderstand, I was just talking to that woman, I have no commitment to her! - the nameku clarified irritably.
-Commitment? - The children interrupted again, they were hiding behind a bush.
- Mr. piccolo Are you going to get married? - Goten asked innocently while Gohan fought the urge to get out of hiding and shut up his brother.
While no one paid attention, in the sacred temple there was a young kami dying of laughter. Lately he had taken to following closely the verbal misfortunes that had happened to Piccolo. It was so ... complicated, piccolo thought everything the hard way and became a victim of the entanglement of the universe ... it was sometimes so funny ... (Of course, until piccolo heard him laugh)
Kalula simply listened to the conversation and she looked at them confused ... What did they mean by commitment? Will it have something to do with piccolo? Yes, she was like a goku when she was a child, she did not know many meanings and things but those thoughts were interrupted when she noticed that the namekusei was exploding with rage at seeing his face with some veins ... He was angry and she preferred not to say anything ...
On the part of piccolo ... The universe was losing its sanity! The whole world was imagining things that were not, how did it occur to them to think such things about him? And to make matters worse, his bad times were witnessed by a spoiled brat who, to top it off, was the kami-sama, whose only purpose seemed to be to laugh at his person.
-And when is the wedding going to be? - Trunks asked with the sole purpose of annoying the namekusei.
- Is there going to be a wedding? Good! - Goten said - I love weddings! There's a lot of food and a giant cake!
-Be quiet! You spawn of the devil! - Piccolo shouted at them leaving Goten with a face of confusion and trunks laughing even more
-So ... Is not there going to be a wedding? - Goten asked sad - I wanted to try one of those huge sweet flowers that they put on wedding cakes ... - he expressed wanting to cry.
-Calm down goten, you should still plan the wedding I can't imagine Mr. Piccolo wearing a suit!
- "Mr. Piccolo wearing a suit?" - Gohan thought from his hiding place in the bushes - "that I can't even imagine ..."
-Hey ... I think you are thinking things wrong ... - Kalula said intervening in the conversation - piccolo and I just met ...
- In that case they will not get married? - Goten asked.
- DO ANOTHER QUESTION LIKE THAT, I DO NOT ANSWER FROM ME! - Piccolo shouted at them losing their sanity
- So it was love at first sight? - Trunks asked again to bite his liver piccolo
- Now, you brats ...! - He screamed irritated and fed up with so many nonsense.
-What's going on? Are you going to lower yourself to the level of simple children? - Vegeta questioned him with his usual haughty tone.
-ENOUGH! I don't intend to continue to endure this kind of thing, I'm leaving! - He went flying quite annoying
- Wait, Mr. Piccolo, where are you going? - his pupil asked trying to stop him
-Leave him gohan - Goku told him calmly - you know very well that he likes to be alone, he will come back …
Everyone sighed in relief, for a second they got scared by the way he looked at Kalula. He probably would have tried to hit her! And also at the idea that he might be able to marry ... What if he did? No ... That will never happen ... Not in a million years! They had to separate fantasy from reality ...
The girl was totally confused. Why had the children mentioned a wedding and why did they relate her so much to that man? And above all ... What was a wedding?
His character seemed quite aggressive and a little intimidating but what she couldn't stop thinking was in his eyes ... The moment she saw them she was immobilized for no reason, she felt somewhat disoriented when she observed them but why? There was something about him that caught her attention
Piccolo was already at a great distance flying but he had the remorse of what happened.
But ... What the hell were they thinking! How did you think that piccolo, the evil part of the old kami, could think about marriage !? That's crazy! Again, the world was so crazy, or he was so sane that he seemed to be crazy enough to get married and with a complete stranger! He will never be interested in something as banal as was the theme of women
On the other hand, the information that girl had given him wasn't enough to know who she really was, she had only told him her name but not where she came from, why those monsters were persecuting her and what they wanted from her but above all, because she had those powers.
It is strange, there is no race that surpasses the powers of the saiyan, they are invincible! But seeing the powers of that girl wasn't far from reaching the strength of Goku or Vegeta ... This left him confused but very intrigued to know who was kalula
Once in the night in the Paozu mountains, the Saiyan family were sound asleep, all except for Kalula who could not sleep.
Again she had that precious object for her in her hands and after seeing inside she let the sadness take over her, her hot tears falling on it like a rain.
Now trunks and goten knew that she had a family, about 4 brothers but what they did not know was that they were the cause of her sorrows. She missed them so much that many times she thought she would never see them again ... Her only wish was to see them once again, it wasn't enough to see them only in her dreams or in her thoughts, she wanted to know if they were looking for her without caring about anything else .
She was still thinking about that nameku called piccolo. Why had the children related her to him? And ... Why had they mentioned a wedding? She didn't understand it but she didn't have to worry because she had no intention of committing to any of them ... Will it have something to do with that feeling that the earthlings call love?
She always heard about it but she had never seen it manifest, it had never experienced it but it's said that it was the most powerful force in the world ... Is it true?
She didn't earn anything while sitting on her bed looking at the night sky starred out the window, the most sensible thing was to sleep to hope that the day of tomorrow was better, they were too many emotions for a day.
On the other hand, in outer space in a spaceship millions of kilometers from the earth ...
-Lord Akuma, we have lost contact with our men on that planet called Earth. I think the time has come to invade him - one of his subjects said
-No ... That girl is on that planet, if they destroy it I will not enjoy my revenge with Kala's daughter. I will not let her escape again - he said observing the earth from a portal - I will let her live a little longer but tomorrow ... bring it her to me! - He ordered them with an authoritarian voice
-Yes Sir!
While on the ship these events occurred, on earth there was a girl with green hair watching the night sky with her eyes impregnated with tears that shivered with a sad glow, not knowing that on the outside of that planet someone else laughed in a way maleficent, and echo echoed throughout the ship in which he was.
-Yes ... - repeated that being while watching the earth from the cockpit. - You can run everything you want Kalula - he thought aloud with a mocking face - you can try to hide in every corner of the universe, but escape ... is impossible.
