Months passed quickly for this duo. Mori's abilities grew with each passing day, amazing Piccolo. Her intelligents lead her to talk in complete sentences in a year. Her power level rose to of that of Gohan's was when he was five. Despite her strength and her intelligents, she was quite shy.
Although she was no longer scared of the other Z Fighters, she decided to keep to her self by standing next to Piccolo the entire time. She spoke very little and tried to avoid interaction with the others. Gohan then reminds Piccolo that she is starting to get his habits. Not that the namek cares.
The only person that she can't seem to avoid is the sayian prince.
When ever Vegeta was around, he asks how her training was going, asks some random questions, and then made some snide remarks. Mori usually sneers and tell him to fuck off or make a snide remark back. Although the child is very small, she is not intimidated by the prince. Vegeta would smirk and then keep to him self once more.
She couldn't understand why he always asked those questions. She asked Piccolo once, yet he just said that he would tell her when she was older.
A few more years grew on. The mystery creature would grow in size, strength, speed, and smarts. Piccolo trained the girl, and acted as a father figure, although neither Piccolo nor Mori knew it.
Mori, now four, was eyeing her mentor at a safe distance. Her red hair and black, weight cape flowed behind her as she studied the man. She was debating if she should ask him if she may go see Goten and Trunks. Yes, they were idiots, but they were the only ones close to her age. She also just wants to do something than meditate all through the day.
If she asked him, one of two possibilities would happen. He would say no, or he would say no and give her a tough sparing match. There was a slight chance that he would say yes, but that was only if he was in a good mood. She pondered over her options when her mentor's voice boomed, "Mori. Tell me what you want or leave. Your constant staring is very aggravating."
Mori should have known that he would've noticed her. She took a long, deep breath before she went to face the namek.
She walked up to Piccolo and stood before the namek. Piccolo's eyes were closed, but the girl knew he didn't need to see to know that she was in front of him.
Mori shuffled her feet nervously before she stood straight with her head held high. Might as well and get to the point, she thought. "Piccolo, I would like to company Goten and Trunks today."
Piccolo opened an eyelid and looked at his student carefully, "Why would you want to be with them? I thought they annoyed you?"
The ginger nodded, "Yes, but they are entertaining at the same time."
Piccolo opened both eyes and thought for a long period of time. He closed his lids, "Fine. Don't let the ass of all sayains push you into sparring."
Mori smiled in the corner of her mouth, "Thank you Piclo." The girl rocketed into the sky before her mentor would scold her for calling him that nickname. Habits were just hard to break, as Gohan says quite often.
Piccolo just shook his head before he returned to his meditating.
Mori landed on the Breif's front lawn. How did she know that the boys would be here? Goten likes things that his mother wouldn't let him have. Trunks would be one of those kids with those things. So the boys would usually be here.
Mori walked to the door and knocked. She waited for a few minutes before Bunny answered the door. She squealed, "Oh Mori! So nice to see you!" She pinched one of Mori's cheeks. The alien growled slightly at the gesture. Although the women always did it when Mori entered their threshold, she still found it very annoying.
Bunny released her cheek, "Oh you are so cute! Yet you are so much like Piccolo. Anyways, the boys are in Trunk's room. Have fun sweetie!" The woman let her pass through the door and into the house where most people would pay to be in. (Apparently the Breifs were very popular.) She walked through the cluttered living room and up the stairs to Trunk's room.
The door to Trunk's room was hanging on its hinges lazily. Vegeta must have wanted to get to the boy and ripped the door off the wall again.
The room was messier than the living room. Toys littered the floor along with many pieces of clothing. Books were sprawled across his desk. Mori walked carefully through the room, making sure she didn't step in anything, considering that she was barefoot.
She stood behind Goten and Trunks, who were playing some video game. Trunks looked behind him, "Oh, hi Mori!" Goten was playing the intensely but mumbled a 'Hi Mori.' Mori crossed her arms and sat in between the boys. Trunks asked, "You wanna play? I have another controller."
Mori shook her head. Trunks shrugged and kept playing. After about an hour of the boy's playing, Trunks says, "I'm hungry! Let's go have lunch guys!" Goten jumped up and dropped the controller, "Yeah!" I rolled my eyes and followed the boys down the stairs to the kitchen.
The kitchen was one of the few areas that were clean. Bunny was behind the stove already surrounded by a heap of food. She looked behind and smiled brightly, "Oh there you kids are! I made lunch!" The boys rushed to the table and sat in chairs next to each other. I made my way to the kitchen and sat across from Trunks and next to Goten.
Bunny placed a large plate of food in front of Trunks and Goten and placed a small sandwich with and apple in front of Mori. The boy's dug in hungrily while Mori ate slowly. It wasn't long that the prince would smell the food and venture his way into the kitchen.
Bunny quickly placed a plate full of food onto the empty side of the table. Vegeta eyed me then plopped in his chair. He was sweaty from his training and reeked of it too. Mori had a sensitive nose, so she tried not to gag. Trunks mumbled a 'Hi dad' and kept on eating. Vegeta grunted as a response as he devoured his food.
Mori was finished and grimaced as the sayains ate. No matter how many times she was over here, she still thought it was disgusting how they ate like wild animals. Although, they weren't too far from one.
Trunks and Goten finished and leaned back in their chairs. "That was awesome Grandma! Thanks!" Bunny smiled and took their plates. Vegeta finished soon after, having Bunny take his plate too. Mori wanted to leave soon before the sayian wants to have another 'conversation'.
The boys stood up and began their way upstairs. The mystery alien stood up and turned before Vegeta said plainly, "Mori. Sit. I want to talk to you." Mori growled, don't you always? Mori crossed her arms and sat back down on the chair. She glared at the sayian.
Vegeta smirked slightly, "So, brat, how are you?"
Mori growled, "Oh shut it Idiot. Just get to the point."
Vegeta chuckled, "Alright, I want you to train with me." Mori sneered, "Why don't you train your son? It would keep him away from training with me."
Vegeta scratched at the table, "No, the woman won't let me train the boy too hard and he is too weak. Besides, I want to see how strong you are." Mori narrowed her eyes and stood. "I don't think so. Frankly it is a waste of my time to fight an ass like you, Idiot."
The sayian growled, "I curse the day that you learned that word." Mori shrugged and said innocently, "It's a word? I thought it was your name?" Mori chuckled as Vegeta sneered at her. Mori adjusted her cape, "Besides, Piccolo won't let me train with anybody but him and Gohan. So go ask him and I just might train with you."
Mori went upstairs to join the boys.
Vegeta, on the other hand, smiled slightly before he ran outside and rocketed up into the air.
Piccolo was meditating. Nothing out of the ordinary. He was in peace...well, he was before he felt a certain sayian's power level.
Piccolo growled. He knew what was coming. He knew that Vegeta was their to pursued Piccolo to let Mori train with him. It happened at least once a month.
Vegeta landed down on the soft grass. Piccolo did not raise, nor did he open his eyes. Vegeta spoke first, "Mori should train with me." Piccolo said, "Why do you ask when you could just attack her?" Vegeta crossed his arms, "I tried that. The little brat flew into the house before I could do anything else. She only listens to you, and you still won't let her train with me."
Piccolo opened his eyes, "You are sounding like a child. Anyways, how are you sure that she wants to fight you? She does hate your being. She can't stand your presence. Why would she fight you?"
Vegeta tapped his arm, "I have my ways. Now, can she? Or do I have to fight you to get her to fight me."
Piccolo growled, "That would give her a reason not to fight you. Besides, she is four."
Vegeta raised his arms, "And Trunks is six! I still train him. Besides, I heard you trained Kakarot's eldest brat at that age."
The namek knew that he was going to go there, "He was five and I had to train him to ward off you." Vegeta stepped closer to the namek and placed his hands on his hips. He knelt down and glared at the namek, "She is going to fight me sooner or later, so why not know? Besides, I can find out what she is if I fight her enough."
Piccolo glared back up at him and sighed, "Fine. But so help me, if you fight her against her will I will find someway to kill you. I know you like your food and I know many poisons."
Vegeta wasn't scared about that last remark...much. He was just glad that the green man finally gave in. "Aren't you a caring mentor. It sounds like you are..." Piccolo interrupted him, "Finish that sentence and I'll blast you into next week. Now beat it."
Vegeta smirked and flew back to the house.
