Part II- Yamcha-Hisiria Saga

Chapter 5- "Hisira"

Yamcha's P.O.V

Struggling with training. I knew it was going to be hard but for some odd reason, I thought it would easy but I was still struggling to keep everything steady. I trained myself so hard but made little progress at a time.

'Look at yourself, all the stamina is gone, all the speed is gone, everything isn't right.' those were my constant thoughts.

Everyone watched me train and I could see it in their eyes, I was still struggling but I was improving little by little. I pushed harder to make my "Spirit Bomb" work as it began crackling and struggling to come to life as it burned out. I tried doing my original "Wolfang Fist" as I missed my target and fell down, it would be a lot of work before I could get all my moves back inorder.

I worked for about four hours. Practicing, practicing, and more practicing. Kami noticed I was struggling.

"Yamcha, you can't do it all in one day." he replied, "Rest for now and start again on Friday."

"No Kami, please... I paused as I breathed heavily, "I can do another hour, I swear! Please?!"

Kami shook his head, "Yamcha..." I knew I had to stop, "I don't want you to kill yourself with training, go back inside and rest."

I sighed as I walked back inside as Pu'ar eagerly waited for me. She got me some water and a towel as I wiped my forehead.

"You looked great, Yamcha!" she cheered, "You'll be back to fighting in no time!"

I grinned a little, "Yeah, it looks like it but Kami won't let me do extra to make my power level go up."

"Well, you can't do it all at once, you'll kill yourself." she laughed, "It takes time to get really good."

"I love you, Pu'ar." I replied as I hugged her tightly in my arms, she blushed heavily as I petted her, "You know, you're like my little cheerleader..."

Pu'ar began doing backflips and cheers. It was all going good until Vegeta came through the door angry as ever, he look directly at me and I knew something was wrong but I decided to not pay any attention.

That was a bad idea.

"What do you want?" I asked, "Did I do something wrong?"

"I can't believe we failed three missions because of you!" Now it was going to be hell, he wasn't backing down, "You're too weak to fight and you still fight!"

"Shut-up, Vegeta. Just shut-up."

I really wasn't in the mood for all the blaming and the back and forth with fighting, just because I couldn't keep up with everything. I was the fighting spirit, I wasn't going to let the accident get to me. I needed to move forward.

"Listen, Vegeta. Blaming me isn't going to make our lives better." I replied, he was still pissed off and I now I would hear it.

He glared, "You damn well as now you costed us some dragon balls and some of the fights!"

I left the room and slammed the door. I shouted from the room, "I tried my best, what more does everyone want?!"

Vegeta growled, "That's not the point, you had--"

I walked out and glared at him as Goku flew down the hall with an expensive piece of paper. He handed it to me as I eyed it. This looked like big news, I wasn't kidding, it as in fancy writng and everything. Whoever sent it must of really wanted a fighter to come visit.

Goku looked at me and looked at the paper, he wanted me to open it. I wasn't sure and I was kind of afraid to open it.

"Goku, what's this about?" I asked, "This looks really important."

Goku looked at it, "Well, we received this from a far away kingdom in Hisiria and I thought the request was for Vegeta and me but..."

I drank some water and looked at him, "...So, who's it for? Tien, Krillin, Kami...?"

Goku read it again and he stopped stiff, "You...Yamcha, they want you to go Hisiria."

I spit up some water as I began to choke, I couldn't believe it. "Huh? Why me? Uhh...Why me?

Vegeta grabbed the paper, "The hell?! This request looks like a job for me and Goku! You aren't even in the best condtion possible to do this?!"

I grinned a little, "If they want me, they've got me. I've been waiting for a solo mission that I can complete on my own. I'll go."

Vegeta got so frustrated and I smiled, it felt so good to see him so jealous and mad that he wasn't picked for a big mission. This was my chance, Vegeta and Goku had seen missions big and small and now I was seeing my first big solo mission. I couldn't wait to see what real strength this fighting spirit has.

I read the paper carefully and I felt my smile creeping up on me, I reached the end as I closed it. This was really it, my first solo mission.

Tien walked into the room, "Hey, Yamcha. Hey Goku. What's going on?"

"Yamcha's going on a big mission!" Goku replied, "The princess of Hisiria asked if she could have him."

Tien's eyes widened, "No way! Awsome! This'll be good for you, Yamcha."

I smiled, then I went confused. "...I'm no Samurai, though. The last time I learned something that advanced was when I was 15..Uh, I don't know."

Tien smiled, "Aw, you'll do fine. I heard some of the greatest fighters take vacation there."

I smiled, I couldn't believe this was my first solo mission. I really wanted to complete it because I didn't do as well on certain missions or I would fail altogether but this time was different. I was ready to give it my all.

I looked at it again, "Wait, I have to go for two years?! Oh, I don't know..."

Goku checked it again, "That''s okay, Yamcha. Don't worry about us, you can send a postcard when you can."

"Yeah, but that's a lot of time to be away, I guess."

Goku looked at me seriously, "The princess needs your help, Yamcha. She's fighting two wars in her country."

Goku was right. The princess did need someone like me, her country was going through a famine in certain places and the wars probably added pressure. I would help her in anyway I could so her country could return to normal.

Pu'ar began to drag my things, "Come on, Yamcha. We leave in two days!"

"Oh man, I don't pack until the night before!"

Pu'ar smiled, "Come on, Yamcha! We can't keep the princess waiting."

I looked out into the sunset as I watched the sun go down over the beach, this was only goodbye for now. I continued to watch the sun as it hit the ocean, this was it.

When I left in the next few days, I would become the Samurai that had to pave the path for himself. That was what all Samurai's did.

X X X

A few days later, I couldn't believe how long it was going to take to Hisiria, it was about three days if me and Pu'ar continued on foot. We were only halfway through the second desert that branched off from the first one, I stopped to rest as I drank water.

It was blazing hot.

"Yamcha, my feet hurt." Pu'ar stopped to rest.

"You're right, we should rest." I replied, "I would fly but I don't have the energy left."

The two decided to rest as Yamcha took out some eggrolls and noodles as Pu'ar broke her's in half and ate slowly. Silence entered the backround as I ate most of my meal and then I stopped, Pu'ar saw it coming and I couldn't hide it. Two tears hit the sand as it blew by, I was still depressed but then the princess came into my head.

"Pu'ar, the princess...I wonder what she's like?" I asked, "I've never met with royalty before."

"Neither have I, but they say she's a true Herione of her bloodline." Pu'ar replied, "They're getting her ready to have her married to a prince."

'I wonder if she really wanted that?' I thought, sometimes in royal families they had someone chosen for you so they could keep the bloodline going and the princess was the last of her's, so it was important.

Pu'ar looked at me with a sly look, "Yamcha, we're you thinking that you cou--'

"No! Why I would I be thinking that? I just want to know her a little better."

Pu'ar laughed as I checked the map and looked around, we had one more day to get there and I thought this whole time we were lost but when I saw a huge city with a tropical looking castle in the distance and I knew we were close. Pu'ar and I had been walking around in circles for one of the days but we were almost there.

"Pu'ar, look! We're almost there!"

Pu'ar couldn't believe it, "I thought we were so lost but we're so close!"

I was so happy yet I was so tired, how would we get there now? I could barely fly anymore but something told me I had to try and use what strength I had left to fly. I grabbed Pu'ar and used all I had left and began flying again.

Pu'ar looked back, "Yamcha! What about our suitcases?! You left them!"

I grinned, "Pu'ar I know I left them, I'll come back this evening for them. Or probably the princess will send her guard to find it."

"...They're going to be stolen, damn it!"

"Pu'ar stop worrying, I put a special tag on all them. God, stop worrying."

I smiled as neared closer to the castle, I wasn't sure what to expect but I kept going anyway until I saw a marbled pathway lead up to an expensive looking gate. I just had one thing to say when I saw her castle: ...Damn...She must be loaded. It looked so expensive with all the fancy looking curtains, designs, and her huge pool in the back.

I couldn't wait to see the inside of her house, I bet it was evern better. I put Pu'ar down as I waited for the princess to come out. I didn't see her, I went closer to the door as six guards' spades blocked my entrance. They looked mean so I backed up, I didn't want to be in trouble the first time. Bad impression.

I waited there for awhile until I saw a beautiful woman come down her white marble stairs. I stared at her for awhile, she was gorgeous. Pu'ar noticed that I was staring for a long time, she knew that stare anywhere. The stare I would get when I was a desert bandit but it was much calmer.

She look directly at me, "Hello, Yamcha. I was wondering when you'd get here.

I stared, "Uuh, am...I late? Aw, I should've left days before this.

"No, we weren't expecting you for four more hours.

She came down in a long bright maroon skirt with a bikini underneath. Her eyeshadow was really exotic, deep red. Her long deep brown hair and the perfect side bangs. She was well put together, I took her hand and kissed it like any gentleman would do. She smiled gently.

"Yamcha, you're such a gentleman..." She giggled, "Would you like the guard to show you to your room?"

I looked out in the distance, "Well, uh, my bags aren't with...us...We left them out in the desert..."

Pu'ar growled, "You should've carried them, Yamcha!"

"Pu'arrr! I needed all the strength I had left to get here."

The princess smiled, "There's no need to argue, the guards would be happy to fetch them for you."

Nadia told three guards with one word and they were off. I was impressed, she was a powerful princess. Just one word and they went off, I couldn't wait to see what else she could do. Especially in fighting, I heard she was brutal but I wanted to see that for myself. I liked challanges especially if involved fighting.

"So, can I know the name of the princess?" I asked, smiling.

"Princess Nadia..." she said so softly, as her eyes trailed me. "That's my name."

"It's beautiful, it's a pretty name." I added, she smiled even more when I said it, "So, which bedroom's mine? I hope I have a king sized bed."

Nadia busted out in laughter as the guards rolled their eyes, "Yamcha, you're so amusing. The guards were expecting a more serious fighter."

"Well, they thought wrong didn't they." As I did my famous stance, "I hope that's ok."

"Oooh, cocky. We might get alone after all, this will work."

One guard spoke up, "Uhh, Nadia. Maybe he isn't..."

"Cue...What have I told you about having doubts? I like Yamcha they way he is." She put the bags in Cue's arms, "You...Go take his things up to his room."

Cue sighed and rolled his eyes, I almost busted out in laughter. They were all so serious that it was funny. I watched as he transoported all the luggage up to my room as the door closed, I looked back at the princess as she smiled. I couldn't wait to see my room.

I began walking up to my room as I looked back at the princess, "So, I'll see you tommorow, princess? We'll be training tommorow?"

"Sure, whatever time works for you, Yamcha."

"We could do it now, I wouldn't mind."

"No, I always notice that the travelers we get always are too tired when they arrive." She smiled. Damn she was smart, "Rest first, Yamcha."

Pu'ar smiled slyly, "Yeah Yamcha, why the rush?"

"Pu'ar! It's not what it looks like!"

The princess waved, as she went to go do other things. I felt so embarassed. Pu'ar kept thinking it was flirting when it wasn't, Pu'ar still had that grin on her face as I walked past her. I couldn't wait to see what things this castle had to offer.

That's Chapter 5, Please R&R.
