When one is sad, all are sad. This is a cycle I learn everything I become upset. This is why I sometimes find it a better option to hide it from others, so I do no become a burden on those I am proud to call my friends.

"So where are we going?" Kagome asked, for the fifth time that day.
Michael sighed in irratation. "I told you until you tell me what you are, you'll be staying with me, and I'll be hiking. Therefore, we will be hiking." He pointed at a large mountain range to the south. "Over there."
She rolled her eyes. "You needn't worry yourself over what I am. Now where is my shuttle?"
"I'm not telling you!" Michael replied, sticking his tongue out childishly.
She growled. "Why you little-"
"Come on! Besides, a little hike will be good for you." He added, giving her a once over.
Her cheeks turned red and she growled angrily. "What was that? Do you want me to kill you!"
He glanced back at her slyly having turned to once again gaze at the mountains. "Nah, I don't really fancy death. I'm just saying you don't see to fit that's all."
Kagome's cheeks flushed even darker. "Shut up!"
Michael rolled his eyes, watching the fuming girl in front of him, clearly amused. "Oh please! Have I ever listened to you?"
It had been two weeks and Kagome had already made a full recovery... well except or her foot. She ahd somehow broken her ankle when he was pulling her from the reckage.
"But Michael!" She whined, when she realized anger wouldn't get her out of the hike. "My foot hurts like hell!" He shrugged indifferently. "Why should I care, now stop being a drama queen and get over here!" He yelled, starting to jog ahead of her.
'You did care... you cared to much for your own good.' Kagome walked alongside Seventeen... um the new Michael.
She glanced over at him briefly. 'I guess you'll always be Seventeen to me, even if I was the one to give you the second name.'
Seventeen was speaking quietly with Eighteen, about something.
"What are we going to do Seventeen?" Eighteen asked quietly. "We have their loyalty... but what are we going to do with it?"
Seventeen thought for a moment. "I don't really know right now, but I think..."
"We need to keep an eye on Twenty-Four? I agree Kagome is 'the strongest android' or whatever Sixteen called her before. And she has those friends of Son, Goku after her. Maybe, Goku himself will come too!"
Seventeen smirked. "Ahh, but Eighteen... or do you prefer Ricky? Where is the fun in him coming to us? The hunt is half the fun in a kill."
She rolled her eyes. "We don't have time for enjoyment Seventeen! We have to figure out what we're going to do with those four!"
He sighed. "We can only do one thing. We have to wait, prepare for the right time to strike."
Seventeen cleared his throat. "So Twenty-Four, why don't you tell me a little about yourself."
Kagome looked over at him curiously. "What do you want to know?"
He looked in front of him raising his nose to the sun with a slight smirk on his face. "Hmph. You're a Saiyon?"
Kagome nodded, "Yeah."
His smile grew a bit wider. "That guy, Vegeta? He's your brother right?" "
Kagome nodded once again. "Yeah."
"And he's a Super Saiyon? I'm assuming you've reached the same status level?" He asked, offhandedly.
Kagome nodded. "Uh huh."
He turned his face to the side slightly, as if to congratulate her on a job well done. "Good. What about your past what do you remember, before Gero?"
She pierced her lips. "I can't really remember much, I keep having small flashes, but I forget them almost immediately after I have them..."
"So you're having trouble remembering... interesting. Why did you stop following Gero's orders." He asked, once again turning his face to the sky.
"When I became Super Saiyon, I began training till I thought myself unstoppable. After that I just decided I wouldn't take Gero's orders anymore. After all, why would I be loyal to someone like him?" Kagome added with a smirk, before becoming very serious, glancing up at the sky as if she was trying to figure out what he thought was so interesting.
"I promised myself that after I chose another person to follow I would stay by their side for eternity... Oh! And one last thing about myself... I'm 17!" She cried, laughing.
"Oh very funny! Laugh it up!" He growled, turning his face so he could glare at her.
Kagome smiled. "Hey listen, don't tell the others... but I love your name, it's just so perfect for you. I honestly couldn't think of a better name to call you than Seventeen."
He smiled slightly in return. "What about Michael? You said that name suited me."
She rolled her eyes. "Not nearly as well! Seriously, your name is Seventeen and what are you, like 17 years old? That turned out pretty cool in my mind."
Seventeen grinned, "I already thought you were crazy." He replied, teasingly. "Now, you've just confirmed my suspicions."
Kagome glared at him, stomping her foot slightly as she stopped walking. "Shut up!"

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOO! XD
I finished this chapter... finally!
I'm sorry for the way it was written (terribly) but my dad's really sick and he could die at any moment, so I've been really focused on that. That is also the reason why I haven't updated any of the stories. Now the hospital we are leaving for on Monday is around 10 hours away from where I live so I should be able to get some writing it, but if I can finish all the chapters I'll be cutting it REALLY close because it will be the 23!
The other reason for my lateness is because (and I've had to confess this more than one time on different stories! ^_^)
My computer has a virus that keeps making it turn off, then when I FINALLY get it to come back on it has erased EVERY single on of my files.
Now I don't know about you fellow writers, but I usually write my chapters on paper beforehand. Okay, I stopped doing that around the end of May, but anyway. Whenever I'm feeling really tired, or lazy I tend to just jump onto my computer (not literally) and type away until I either finish or am EXHAUSTED. 0_0
So back around February I wrote a chapter for EVERY single one of my stories and they all got deleted before I could post them.
This was a problem because I LIKED how I had it the first time and I don't know about you guys but when I write a chapter I am DONE! 0_0 I feel completely satisfied and have no intention of ever looking at the chapter again, I don't even reread them, bceause I've been looking at the things for so long I can't even go back anymore!
I always think I have them memorized but then when i try to go back and write the chapter again it's ... okay let's just call it super annoying.
See my rant is almost the size of my chapter! THIS IS SO WRONG! (I'm doing the flaming for you, please don't leave any mean reviews... 'looks around guilty' ... but I wouldn't blame you if you did. Or if you stopped reading this halfway through.
ANYWAY the point is I hate having to redo chapters, which makes me uninspired, which makes me uninterested in the story itself and then I just seem to forget the story exists! 0_0
Now I just copied and pasted that entire thing, because I'm to lazy right now to retype it. I have this on my official second chapter of "Being Free" So if you want you can go check that story out as well.
Lastly: I meant to thank Amy! 0_0 I'm sorry Amy, I hadn't seen your comment since... around February when you successfully ruined my vacation.
I hadn't even planned to put that 'tidbit' (the name of the chapter for a reason) out but I did, just because I felt bad for my lack of updating and the shortness of the chapters which I clearly stated in that HUGE thing with me talking.
I was fully aware the girls were being complete idiots (some friends of mine had asked if they could do my disclaimers, and I agreed to let them for around 3 or 4 weeks.) but I let them because I was actually waiting for a comment like yours to come in so it wouldn't just be me telling them to shut up and let me get on with the story. Anyway, I appreciate the comment.
