Disclaimer: I own only Taya and Malaya. I don't own ANY of the DBZ characters.
Yeah! Chapter 1 is up! ^-^ Sorry if the fighting is bad or there is OOC ness... I haven't watched DBZ in over 10 years...
Chapter 1
"Hey, Piccolo?" I ask.
"Hmm?" He responds.
"Where did you go about a month ago?" I ask.
He looks at me, unsure of how to answer.
"I went to gain some knowledge on a certain matter with Kami. We were in the Library. Why do you ask?" He asks.
"Oh, I was just curious." I say, a light blush covering my cheeks.
'Man! He still makes me blush, even after being near him for over 6 months!' I mentally complain to myself.
As if on cue, Krillin and Goku land in frount of Piccolo and I. Piccolo continues to meditate, while I look up at the two.
"Yes?" I ask.
"Master Roshi is having a small party today." Goku says.
"And you want us to come?" Piccolo asks, his eyes still closed.
Goku nods. I sigh.
"Bring Gohan and Chichi. They would love to come, I'm sure." I say.
Goku smiles then takes off. Krillin stares off after Goku, shaking his head.
"Well… Should we go then?" Krillin asks, grinning nervously.
Piccolo stands and nods. We fly to a small island out in the middle of the ocean. Once we land we are greeted by many guys and a few girls.
"Hey, Krillin!" A black haired one, with a scar on his face, yells.
Taya comes running out of the little house, smiling.
"Sister!" She calls to me, the shrillness of her voice causing Piccolo and I to cringe.
"Taya." I respond, no enthusiasm in my voice.
"Hey, Krillin? Are those two twins?" The scared one asks.
"Yes. Taya is my twin." I say.
Piccolo watches as we all head into the house. He goes to a corner and begins to meditate.
"Yamcha, I wouldn't..." Krillin begins to say.
Yamcha waves him off, silencing the short bald one. An older, bald man enters the room.
"So, who is Taya again?" Yamcha asks with a smirk, looking both Taya and I over.
"I'm Malaya. That is Taya." I say, pointing to myself then Taya, annoyed with Yamcha already.
"So Taya is the hyper, cheerful looking one and Malaya is the pissed off looking one." Yamcha states.
My eye begins to twitch. Piccolo sighs softly and looks over at the conflicting little group. He stands up.
"Another way to tell is that Malaya has green hair and green eyes. Taya has blue hair and blue eyes." Piccolo says, also annoyed.
Yamcha looks over at Piccolo, slightly confused. The old bald one comes over to me.
"So Malaya is like an Emerald while Taya is like a Sapphire. However, there is another way to tell them apart." The old one says, looking closely at Taya.
He looks her up and down then turns to me, grinning. My eyes narrow. I hit him on the head, causing him to hit the ground in a daze. Piccolo smirks.
"Don't EVER compare my chest to my sister's!" I yell, very pissed off. "You PERVERTED OLD BASTARD!" I finished yelling.
I go outside, hopping that the fresh air will calm me down. Piccolo follows me outside. The others watch as he places a hand on my shoulder. Yamcha is still staring at the man on the floor.
"Wow..." Yamcha mutters, slightly amazed at my strength and actions toward the man on the floor.
I turn towards Piccolo and lean against him, my head barely reaching his chest. Goku finally arrives with Chichi and Gohan.
"so, what did we miss?" Goku asks.
Piccolo shakes his head.
"I taught a pervert a lesson that he needed to learn a long time ago." I say, feeling perfectly safe with Piccolo behind me.
"Hi, Malaya. It's good to see you again." Chichi says.
I nod in agreement.
"Malaya!" Gohan yells, jumping into my arms. I laugh and hug Gohan, then set him down.
"Hey, little man. Why don't you go inside and get something to drink." I say.
He nods and rushes into the house and comes back with a cup of juice. Chichi smiles as Goku goes to go get drinks for Chichi and himself. Piccolo places a hand on my waist. Chichi glances at his hand then at me. Goku comes back and hands Chichi her glass of punch.
"Goku. Can I have a word with you?" Piccolo asks.
Goku nods. Piccolo lightly squeezes my side then walks with Goku, off to the side.
"So. How long have you liked him?" Chichi asks.
I look at her and blush.
"For about six months." I say.
Chichi smiles, then the smile turns sad.
"I hope that you know that Piccolo is asexual." She says, pity lacing her voice.
My face falls as the information sinks in.
"Oh... I see." I mutter.
My shoulders sag as I look out across the ocean.
"Malaya. I'm so sorry. If it is any condolence, you might be able to use the Dragon Balls to get him a gender." Chichi says.
I look at her and give a weak smile. We stand in silence. Goku and Piccolo come back over to us. Piccolo pulls me to him. I lean back into him and sigh. Goku and Chichi leave to give Piccolo and I some time together.
"Piccolo?" I ask.
"Yes, Malaya?" Piccolo asks, he holds me to him.
He breaths in the scent of my hair, having leaned down and brushed the top of my head with his lips.
"Is it true that you are... asexual?" I ask, trying and failing to hide my tears.
Piccolo squeezes me lightly.
"I was." He says.
I look up at him surprise on my face and tears trying to run down my cheeks.
"Was?" I ask, slightly confused.
"Yes, was. When I was with Kami we used the Dragon Balls to give me a gender." He says, his cheeks tinting a light purple.
I smile and hug him. He holds me close to him. My body relaxes against his.
'I wonder why he wanted a gender... But he is adorable when he blushes.' I think with a giggle.
Piccolo looks down at me. I squeeze him lightly. Yamcha stumbles over to us, the scent of booze hanging around him.
"Hey! Taya!' He slurs, coming up to me.
I cover my nose and mouth as I hear Piccolo growl softly.
"I'm not my sister." I growl out.
Yamcha sways, staring at me. Piccolo holds me tighter.
"But... You look just like her." He wines, causing Piccolo and I to scowl.
"I don't care what you think." I say.
Yamcha continues to sway. He falls toward me and reaches out to catch himself. I groan as he lands on his face. Piccolo smirks. Yamcha slowly gets up. I take Piccolo's hand and drag him toward the other side of the island.
"Hey, Namek!" A guy with very spiky black hair yells.
I look at the guy and growl. He glares at me. Piccolo watches the guy. He looks me over then crosses his arms and smirks. Piccolo growls lightly toward the smug man. The man begins to glare at Piccolo.
"May I?" I question.
The man becomes confused and frowns. Piccolo smirks, then nods. I rush at the man, catching him off guard. I hit him in the chest, sending him flying out into the ocean. I stand up straight and smirk. The man's head appears above the water's surface. He comes flying back towards me and I jump, grabbing a hold of his arms. He stops quickly and I fall backwards. I smile as my tail appears.
"Vegeta! Stop being rude!" A woman with teal color hair yells.
"Miss. We are only sparring. I promise that we won't destroy each other or this island. But I can't guarantee the other islands." I say, having appeared in front of her.
She looks at me, having been startled by my silent movements.
"Well... Ok..." She says.
I smirk then go over to Piccolo.
"Well I have an idea." I say.
Vegeta goes to hit me, but my tail grabbed his wrist.
"Uh... What is your idea?" Piccolo asks.
I smile.
"It will be similar to a tournament but you get to choose your sparring partner. We can hold it tonight, or we could hold it sometime tomorrow. " I say.
My tail releases Vegeta's wrist.
"For a Woman, that is a decent idea." Vegeta comments, crossing his arms and scowling.
I look over my shoulder at him.
"Decent my ass. It's a damn good idea and you know it. You stuck up bastard." I say, a grin in place. Vegeta fumes, his face very red.
"I think that is an awesome idea." Krillin says.
Vegeta glares at him.
"No one asked you." Vegeta growls.
"Vegeta give it a rest. And thanks Krillin." I say.
Piccolo had gone back to meditating while everyone gave their opinion.
"So it is gonna be held tomorrow?" Goku asks.
I nod. The party had ended and everyone takes off. Piccolo stands and smirks.
"Well?" He asks, holding out his hand.
I smirk and fly off.
"Come catch me." I yell to him.
He scowls, slightly. He chases after me. I dodge him by rolling and doing loops randomly. We get half way to the cave and he finally grabs my wrist.
"Caught you." He growls softly in my ear.
I giggle.
"Yes. Yes you have. And for catching me you get a kiss." I say.
He looks at me, a small smile on his lips. I smirk and kiss his cheek. Baffled, he releases his grip just enough that I am able to slip away. I laugh and stare at him. He frowns and tries to tackle me. I dodge, barely, and get into my fighting stance.
"Let me guess. You want to spar for a bit before bed." Piccolo half states, crossing his arms over his chest.
I nod, a grin in place.
"Of course. It will help me to rest up before tomorrows sparring." I say.
He smirks and gets into his stance. We stay like that for a few seconds. I decide to fake him into throwing the first punch. I rush at him and dodge off to the side. He grabs my wrist and pulls me in close. I grab his, in coming, fist then block a knee to my stomach. I try to kick him in the head, but he grabs my ankle and releases my wrist. I smirk and catch him in the gut. He tosses me away from him.
"Lucky shot." He grumbles.
"No. Just my way of saying that I win." I say.
He rushes at me, a scowl on his lips. I dodge, but receive a kick to the chest. I groan after hitting a near by tree. He comes at me and I use my tail to slide behind the tree. His fist goes through the tree's trunk. I smirk and kiss his knuckles. I jump away as he goes to grab me. He pulls his fist free of the tree and resumes his attack. I smile and kick his head. He blocks as my hand goes to grab his wrist. He locks his hand with mine and I begin my assault. He lands some hits, but I also land some. We push apart and take deep breaths.
"Not bad." He growls.
I smirk.
"Thanks." I say.
We head back to the cave, tired and ready to rest. Piccolo sits and begins to meditate. I yawn and lay down next to him. Sleep consumes my mind.
~Darkness. Again. Soon colors flood my vision and I notice that Piccolo is sleeping next to me. I smile and lightly touch his face.
"Piccolo." I breath out.
He shifts and wraps an arm around my waist. I giggle softly. An energy level appears in the distance. I look towards the energy level and hear Piccolo growl. He sits up and pulls me closer to him. The strange person lands.
"My, my. Aren't you sweet." The person says, staring at me.
Piccolo continues to growl at the man. The man has a tail the color of fire. He grins at me.
"Leave." Piccolo growls.
"What? I can't say hello to my sister?" He asks, grinning.
I stare at the man, claiming to be my brother.
"I don't understand. I don't have a brother." I say.
The man looks crest fallen.
"Malaya? You don't remember me?" The man asks.
Piccolo stops growling, but continues to hold me.
"Nope. I think I would know if Taya and I had a brother." I say.
The man nods and leaves.~
I wake up and glance around. Piccolo is asleep, leaning against the wall of the cave. I smile as he wakes up.
"Morning." I say as he smiles.
He pulls me into a hug.
"Morning." He says.
I grin and smile as I hug him back. We get ready for today's events. We head over to the island we were on last night. A group is already waiting for us. Vegeta scowls.
"It's about time, Woman!" He growls.
"Well I never told you to come here at dawn now did I?" I yell at him.
"Woah! Calm down you two." Krillin says.
"Fine but I'm sparring with that ass to teach him a lesson." I say.
"As if you could, Woman." Vegeta growls.
"We'll settle that with our fight." I say.
Piccolo groans.
"Uh, how is this going to work?" Yamcha asks.
I look over at him, then grin.
"Consider this like a tournament. Only even if you get beaten you still get to fight. Ok choose your opponent. Now, if you are beaten go to Master Roshi's island. From those that have been beaten, choose your next opponent. And we will continue till only one person has been undefeated or just has the most wins. Also, there will be a break for lunch." I explain.
Everyone agrees and pairs up. Vegeta stands near me. Goku near to Piccolo. Krillin near Gohan. I notice Yamcha near a kid with lavender hair.
"So, when do we start?" Gohan asks.
"Well, every pair goes to a different island. No one is to fight on Master Roshi's island so. Start finding an island." I say, taking off as Vegeta follows me.
Everyone takes off and I watch as Piccolo and Goku land on an island. I spiral towards an island, having fun, and land gracefully. I fall into my fighting stance as Vegeta lands a few yards away. He gets into his fighting stance.
"If you won't attack then I will!" Vegeta yells, rushing towards me.
I roll forwards, dodging his kick. He reaches down and grabs my ankle, pulling me to him. He lands a punch to my abdomen, causing my breath to leave my lungs. I grab his fist as he goes to throw another punch.
"You hit like a baby, A HUMAN BABY!" I growl.
Vegeta gets royally pissed off and throws another punch. I dodge by sending a kick to his head. It connects and he lands in the ocean, about 50 feet from the shore. He doesn't come up and I become alert. I fly up, into the sky. Vegeta had rushed the spot that I had been in only moments before. He growls. I dive towards him, grinning. I hit him, hard. A crater forms around him. He grabs my arm and tries to throw me. I hold onto his wrist and use the pent up momentum to reverse our positions. I throw Vegeta to the ground. He tries to kick me in the ribs. I block it with my arm. He punches me in the gut. I double over. Vegeta smirks. I jump back, growling in pain. Vegeta stands and rushes at me. I growl and rake my fingers over his arm to dodge his incoming fist. He is annoyed to see my hand that of a dragon's paw. He looks at his arm, seeing blood begin to trickle down towards his hand.
"Wench. Your fighting style is insane!" He yells at me.
I growl at him.
"Really? And how is that exactly?" I ask.
"You hold back in the beginning, toying with your opponent. Then when they prove themselves to you, you get more serious." Vegeta growls.
I smirk.
"You're wrong. I'm not fighting full strength. The only thing I see you as is a play toy. Nothing more." I say, smirking.
Vegeta frowns. I attack him, throwing many punches and kicks. He blasts me away with a Ki blast. We both stand, out of breath. Neither of us notice the group watching us.
"Woman... Stay... Down... If you... Know... What's good... for you." Vegeta pants out.
"You... first... you... Bastard." I pant.
He growls at me. I growl back. We both rush towards each other. We each hit the other in the face. We both topple back, exhausted.
"Wow... They have a draw." Yamcha says.
Everyone comes over to us. Piccolo is next to me and smirks.
"You ok, kid?" Piccolo asks, worry in his eyes.
I nod.
"Yeah... Nothing a little food won't heal." I say, smiling.
Goku helps Vegeta up. Piccolo helps me up and flys us to Roshi's island.
"Well?" He asks.
I look at Piccolo, confused.
"Well what?" I ask.
"Your dream from last night. You muttered something about a brother." He says, landing.
I blush as we go into the house. He has me sit on the couch.
"Oh... Well in my dream a man comes to the cave and says that he is my brother but never gives a name. Then I woke up." I say.
Piccolo nods and sits next to me. The rest of the group enters and goes to the kitchen. I lean against Piccolo, tired and happy.
"Sleep. We will continue the sparring afterwards." Piccolo says, wrapping an arm around me.
