He placed his hand on her cheek and whispered softly, "I'm sorry Ryoko, but you'll thank me after, you're exhausted."
"…Heroki?"
"I knew it, I knew that's the reason she was having nightmares." He pulled a blanket off the back of the couch and spread it over her, then grabbed the remote and started flicking through channels. Ryoko screamed, tears running down her face.
"This isn't real, this isn't real, you can't hurt me!" Her eyes suddenly opened and she grasped at her throat. Trunks jumped up, staring at Ryoko. She was suddenly lifted into the air, still grasping her throat, and thrown into the wall, breaking through it and falling into the front yard.
"Ryoko!" Trunks cried, running out after her. She sat up, coughing and crying, there was a bruise in the shape of a large hand around her throat. She grabbed her head, bending over in pain. "Are you okay? What happened?"
"Goku!" She cried, jumping up and running into her house. She ran into the kitchen, were Goku was sitting, eating lunch with her brothers and mother. "What is going on?!" She screamed, her family giving her confused and terrified looks. "Who is Ryuukaze?!" Goku put his chop sticks down and stared into her eyes, a look of fear spreading across his face.
"I can't tell you, Ryoko. It's not the time."
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?! He's going to kill me, and you can't even tell me who he is!" Goku kept looking at her, but wouldn't reply. She wiped the tears from her eyes, "fine. I'll find out myself."
"I'll help you." Gohan said, standing up and throwing his father a disgusted look.
"Me too." Trunks said, walking into the kitchen. Without waiting for a reply from her father, Ryoko stormed out of the house with her brother and boyfriend.
"We should go find Piccolo, maybe he'll know." Gohan suggested.
"Yeah I agree, he's probably with Dende." Trunks said.
"Then let's go."
Piccolo was there, meditating. He seemed annoyed when he first sensed them there, then became concerned when he saw the looks on their faces.
"What's going on?" He asked, standing. Dende and Mr. Popo ran out, also asking why they were there.
"Who is Ryuukaze?" Ryoko asked simply. Dende said he didn't know, but a look of panic quickly spread across Mr. Popos face.
"Kaze?" He asked, trembling. "How, how do you know about him?"
"I know nothing about him, all I know if that I've been having dreams of him trying to kill me."
"Kaze… yes, the name sounds familiar." Piccolo said, trying to remember who he was.
"Don't tell her." Goku suddenly appeared, a stern look on his face. Ryoko faced him, started screaming and swearing at him, then started to punch him. Goku looked surprised, her attacks were futile. "Ryoko, you know you can't hurt me." She stepped back, fury written all over her face, then looked shocked as she grabbed her head, screaming in pain and doubling over.
"What's happening to her?!" Trunks cried. A purple aura surrounded her, and Goku quickly hit the back of her neck, knocking her unconscious.
