Saga One (Android)

Chapter Three

Section Two

'Another Wave of Tension'

Vegeta saw Kacoshi as they neared the lookout. Her first words to them where to show her concern for the pink haired woman Koiko. Vegeta rolled his eyes slightly as Kindin explained that she had just used up her energy.

"…I'm glad you're ok Vegeta…" she said softly. The Sayain prince looked at her his eyes showing mild shock. She had said nothing about the others. She had been only talking to him. She gave him such a soft smile now that he would of smiled back had he not hated to show his emotions. The prince waved off her kind gesture.

"Whatever woman" he said lightly.

"HEY WE WON…well kinda two of them got away!" Goku said happily. Vegeta cringed slightly when he spoke.

"Kakkarot you are an idiot…." he growled to the other Sayain.

"Ummm guys what are we going to do with this one…." Radtiz said holding the android sixteen at arms length with a frown.

"That's one of the androids give him to me" Bulma said as she strode towards them with a smirk.

"I don't think that's a good idea he's just knocked out mother…" Kindin said softly. Bulma smiled and looked at him.

"Well for now I can analyze him I wish we had some sort of cage to put him in…" she muttered looking over the android. Kacoshi walked up slowly as Radtiz dropped the android. She slowly reached a hand out and a cage very much like Koiko's appeared around him. Vegeta's eyes widened. The rest of the z team stared at her as well. It was Goku who broke the silence.

"WOW YOU CAN MINUPLATE YOUR KI TO!" he said laughing he then elbowed Vegeta slightly "Wow you picked a winner Vegeta!" he smiled Vegeta glared at him then grabbed Kacoshi's hand he pulled her from the group.

"Where the hell did you learn that woman?…" he growled at her. Kacoshi looked at him her eyes large.

"…I learned it a long time ago…." she whispered. Vegeta frowned

"From that woman" he pointed to where Koiko was Kindin still holding her. Kacoshi shook her head lightly.

"No…. I taught her it…" her voice was soft. It was then that Vegeta noticed it for the first time. She sounded like she was weak, but her eyes told another story they did not move from his. A strength worthy of a Sayain warrior shimmered under their surface. Vegeta smirked softly

"Woman you are full of surprises" he said. She smiled at him brightly. She thought he had been mad at her but now she was sure she had just caught him off guard. She had learned how to manipulate her Ki energy as a child. The couple who had adopted her had put her in a prep school where one of the teachers had started to teach her how to use marital arts. Kindin stared at the two talking and frowned.

"He didn't have to be so rough with her…though I have to admit that was rather strange" he said Goku nodded looking at the cage Kacoshi had created. Radtiz looked at Kacoshi with a frown.

"I don't quite like this…" he muttered with her around things had suddenly been turned up side down. He looked at Koiko whom Kindin had yet to put down "Hey Kindin maybe you should take her to one of the rooms here…" he muttered. The lavender haired teen nodded slightly and walked towards the complex.

Gero's lab was lit gloomily by small wall lights. Eighteen stared idly at them her cold eyes slightly softened. She loved her brothers they where her only family and now one of them had been ripped from her.
"Damn it seventeen we have to get him back!" she said suddenly sitting up from the bench she was laying on. Seventeen was tending the multiple wounds to himself. He frowned at her.

"Shut up eighteen…. I told you he was a liability, and that's final we are not going back there." He growled at her.

"Sounds to me like you're scared. " Eighteen scoffed at her brother. He turned around and glared at her she never seemed to understand. If only he could be given enough time.

"I am no scared eighteen…Right now we have to worry about repairs then we can deal with the issue of sixteen" he growled at her she rolled her eyes like she always did is annoyed the android to no end.

"What ever…" she said softly.

---

"No sign of them ehh Kami" Krillen asked as he walked up to the older Namak. The guardian of earth shook his head slightly.

"Sadly no" he said. Krillen looked at him with a hopefully.

"Well that's good right…it means they haven't attacked any humans" Krillen asked. The Namakian shook his head slowly and walked from the edge. "Man this suck!" he sighed and walked towards the rest of the group. Piccolo was standing with his arms crossed while Kindin and his father where sparring. Krillen sat down next to goku and watched them.

"Man they never stop training do they?" he asked Goku. The man smiled brightly and laughed.

"My brother loves to fight" he said Krillen nodded then looked at the group.

"Uhh hey goku where are Vegeta and Kacoshi…" he asked. Goku shrugged slightly. Koiko growled lightly to herself.

"They disappeared an hour ago…" her voice contained anger that almost threw Krillen off guard.

"D-Disappeared man…. I wonder where they went." He wondered to himself piccolo smirked.

"They went to one of the rooms…" he said his eyes closed slightly. Krillen blushed slightly.

"Man who would have thought Vegeta was such a stud…" he said choosing to shut his mouth after that and watch Radtiz and Kindin.

---

Vegeta looked at Kacoshi he was sitting on the bed while she had chosen for some reason to sit on the floor she looked up at him softly.

"Why did you want to talk here?" she asked as her kitten jumped onto her shoulder he hissed at Vegeta who glared at it.

"The Namak has pretty good hearing…. I didn't want anyone eaves dropping" Vegeta growled lightly Kacoshi nodded.

"I…see I think…so that man the one with the green skin he's an alien to…like you and Radtiz" Vegeta nodded then looked at her sharply.

"Woman…" Kacoshi stood up and put a finger to his lips.

"Please call me Kacoshi…you don't have to call me it in front of them but with just you and me. Please" she said softly and then sat down next to him. He nodded slowly then looked at her.

"Kacoshi…. Why is it you hate fighting…don't try to say you don't… I see it every time someone mentions it" he growled. She sighed and shook her head it was one thing she didn't want to talk about with anyone.

"It's not important…something happened when I was younger and it put me off fighting" she said lightly. Vegeta shook his head and frowned.

"Fine…" he said standing up.

"So that's it your just going to leave…you seem to like to do that…" she looked up at him those blue eyes Vegeta felt compelled to leave she didn't seem to trust him. Yet she didn't want him to leave. All she did was send him mixed messages. He sat back down beside her and frowned.

"Fine…Kacoshi" he said. Kacoshi could tell he was trying she put a kind hand on his leg.

"Vegeta do you hate me…." She asked. Vegeta was caught off guard by the question. He looked away from her slightly. How was it that this woman for all her soft-spoken words and kind heart could fluster him so much?

"No I don't wo…Kacoshi" he sighed and looked back at her only to find her smiling brightly. She was so beautiful he leaned closer to her and kissed her. When he pulled back she was blushing softly.

"Your not going to runaway like last time are you?" she asked. He slowly shook his head. He didn't know what to say. But luckily he didn't have to because she spoke next her voice so tender he almost felt like holding her close to him. "Good… I don't want you to ever think you have to run away…Vegeta…I know I've only known you for a few days or less but…its felt like a millennium or more. When I first saw you in my dreams all I wanted was to see you the next night. I'm probably being to up front but I had to say this. I'm sorry if I've caused you any problems" she looked at him. Her blue eyes where just like her gold ones in his dreams. Calm compassionate the eyes of a person you felt like you could trust.

"Kacoshi you have yet to cause me any problems…" he growled. Kacoshi could sense he wanted to tell her how he felt, but he still could not open up to her fully. She sighed slightly and then stood up.

"I love you Vegeta…I just hope you feel the same way about me…" she said lightly looking over her shoulder she then walked out of the room. Vegeta couldn't help but smirk to himself over her last words if only she knew, and why couldn't she. It was his pride something he wouldn't wish to get rid of for anything.

"She's got the guts of a Sayain…" he muttered to himself shaking his head. He then stood up and walked after her.

"AYHAN HUNNY! Where did you go!" A woman called inside the androids head. He woke quickly to his mother's voice.
"WHERE THE HELL AM I!" he growled looking around him. The room about him was white almost completely. He walked to the only door and tried to open it it of course was closed.

"Shit I made a stupid mistake…" he growled lightly. He held his hand up to the door a released a large amount of energy at it. Nothing happened the door was singed but that was it. The android was now pissed off.

"THAT STUPID SAYAIN!" Sixteen yelled. He paced the room slowly. He then heard a click of the door and strode over to it. He would kill who ever was coming through the door. As he advanced a young woman walked in and shut the door behind her her short two-toned lavender hair framed her face.

"Oh! You're up…" she said softly. Sixteen didn't care who this woman was he charged for her and found himself against a wall. Then suddenly his world went black again. Kacoshi caught him as he fell to the ground after she hit his off switch. She had gotten a good look at the android before they had put him in this room. She picked him up and frowned softly. "I'm sorry I had to do that but if your going to stay Bulma says you're programming needs to be...'Tweaked'?" she sweat dropped, and walked from the room with him in her arms. When she reached a small room Bulma had set up as a workshop she put him down for the woman.

"Wow Kacoshi I was worried about you getting hurt... I could of sent one of the men you know," she laughed as she looked at the knocked out android.

"I turned him off..." she said softly. Bulma turned to look at her slack jawed.

"H-HOW!" she yelled. Kacoshi put her hands to her ears and frowned.

"His off switch is in between the shoulder blades you have to hit it just right." she said.

"How did you know that!" Bulma said gaping at the woman Kacoshi shrugged slightly.

"I don't know I just took a look at him and knew..." she said. Bulma shook her head slightly then walked over to the android. She then looked at him and frowned.

"Let see how are we going to get to your programming," she said. Kacoshi shrugged and walked from the room. She walked down the hallways of the lookout Vegeta had told her that he was keeping her here until the androids where, 'gotten rid of' she knew he meant they would kill them, but did that mean they where alive or where these creatures completely robotic. She frowned either way they where sentient they could think for themselves they had emotions and feelings. Even if they where complete machines she still did not like the idea of 'getting rid of' them. She sighed and walked into her room Orion greeted her with a soft meow. He jumped into her lap as she sat down it had been hours since the androids had first shown up, and she felt a certain dread filling her. They had no clue where they where, and She was having a hard time figuring out what was going on. Kacoshi decided to take a nap and walked to the room she shared with Vegeta for the time being.

The young black haired Koiko cowered under a table in her home. Men where turning over furniture and yelling back and forth between each other. The raid had been swift they the leader was yelling at one of his subordinates. Koiko felt hot tears on he cheeks as peered out from under the table. There she saw something that had haunted her dreams, as did so many things from this time in her life, but this one stuck out the worse. A young boy only a few years older then here was sprawled face down on the ground blood oozing from long gashes on his back and legs. He laid in a puddle of his own blood his eyes blank and cold. She dare not come near him he was already dead no less then a few second, but the smell of death and blood burned her sensitive Sayain nose.

"You stupid IDIOT!" The leader yelled. He was not a Sayain he wore the armor that was demanded by frezza the tight spandex body suit was partial covered by a hard top armor that seem to conform to the body wearing it. In the case of the leader it held his bulky frame like a glove. Koiko whimpered when would this be over. She had a vague feeling this was a dream, but it felt so really she had to question that. The subordinate the leader was talking to finally replied to his leaders harsh words.

"I am sorry sir we did not mean to kill the boy…" he muttered. The leader pulled him up by his shirt and then in a flash Koiko felt something warm splatter onto her, as blood of the subordinate fell around her. She let out a yip and then withdrew under the table, but it was to late the leader had seen her. He smirked and pushed the table over picking her up by the back of her clothing.

"What do we have here a little mouse…I just hope frezza will be happy with you" he fumed. Koiko was to frighten to fight back.

"Please put her down…." A voice echoed clearly around the room soft and gentle. There on the couch a young woman sat her long blue lavender hair tied back in a braid. She smiled her cobalt eyes stared at the man and she stood up. Koiko stared at the woman.

"K-kacoshi…" she muttered this was new. She had never shown up in her dreams before. The woman smirked slightly and turned to her then in one fell movement held up her hand and sent a palm blast at both of them. It didn't hurt the young koiko but it killed the man holding her. It was then she felt the tug of herself waking up and the dream vanished.
