Lilli's POV

Piccolo and Lillianna sat cross legged in midair over the island that Gohan currently was living on, as Piccolo was focusing on meditating Lilli was keeping an eye out to make sure that Gohan stayed safe. She of course was under strict orders from Piccolo not to interfere unless it was a life or death situation. He wanted the young boy to learn to fend on his own before the three of them started their intense training. Piccolo had given the boy six months to adapt to life on his own, if he couldn't Piccolo refused to train him. It had been three months and so far, Gohan had learn to protect himself from the predators of the island and how to find and cook food for himself. Lilli tried to persuade Piccolo to start training sooner since it seemed Gohan had gotten the hang of caring for himself but he insisted that the boy needed a full six months. So, there they sat each taking a turn between watching Gohan and meditating or training.

Lilli smiled as she watched Gohan run around chasing the dinosaur, in a lot of ways he was just like his father. If it wasn't absolutely important to train than he would take the time to relax, Lilli could see Goku in his eyes and smile. At times like these it makes her heart squeeze and tears spring to her eyes. She shook her head, there was no reason to be crying. Within a couple of months, they would wish Goku back and they could be together happily. That is unless during his time in Otherworld he hadn't changed his mind about how he felt about her. As she thought about their time together so began slowly piecing together little telltale signs that he had feelings for her.

*Flashback*

Lilli landed on her feet in a crouch panting and sweat dripping down her face, Goku stood a good thirty feet in front of her in the same condition. But before either could catch their breath Lillianna leaped at Goku swinging punch after punch barely giving the other time to dodge and soon she added kicks into the mix. It seems like it took all of Goku's concentration to dodge her attacks, then in a blink of an eye he was gone. She stopped dead in her tracks and looked around but wasn't able to find him, then she heard a noise behind her and she had enough time to turn and see the beam as it hit her square on. I knocked back through the ground and then she stopped moving as her body collided with the trunk of a tree.

She laid their groaning trying to sit up, she distantly heard footsteps running toward her and an arm slip under her shoulders propping her up.

"I'm so sorry Lilli, I got a little carried away. Can you hear me?" He ask softly shaking her, helping her to open her eyes.

"Yeah I can hear you. It's ok, that is what training is all about. You can hold back or I won't know my limits." She smiled up at him, he smiled back down tucking a strand of hair back behind her ear. She sat up with Goku's help, it took a moment for the world to stop spinning. She would never say it out loud, but he sure was strong.

*End Flashback*

"Lillianna!" An annoyed voice snapped her out of her inner thoughts, she shook her head and looked over at him. He had his hands crossed over his chest, scowling at her. She sighed and gave her head another rough shake, she misjudged how hard she shook her and she toppled over falling toward the ground, she was able to regain her balance before she hit the ground. She flew back up to where Piccolo was sitting, he had his nose pinched between his thumb and forefinger. She kind of chuckled and rubbed the back of her neck, a nervous habit she got from Goku.

"Sorry Piccolo, I still don't have complete control over my strength." He rolled his eyes and scoffed. He unfolding himself and stood up, he gazed down at Gohan checking to see what he was up too. At the moment Gohan was sitting in front of a fire roasting up a huge piece of dinosaur meat, Piccolo nodded to himself and cracked his knuckles.

"Ok, it seems the runt is content and safe at the moment. Let's get in some one on one combat training while we can." He said, then he stopped and thought for a moment. "Let's take it away from here though so he doesn't catch on that we were here the whole time watching him." With that he took off in the direction of more islands close by, Lilli took one last look at Gohan then followed after Piccolo. They landed after fifteen minutes of flying, they landed about thirty feet from each other. Lillianna lowered into her normal fighting crouch, one that was taught and inherited by Goku. There was silence for a long moment each waiting for the other to make the first move, a rock dropped in the distance and it was it took to make the two lung at each other.

They met forearm to forearm the impact sending a shock wave out fifty miles from them flattening everything it touched. They stood like that for a moment trying to push the other back, once they found that neither was going to be pushed back they both jumped back and lunged again. This time they began to throw punches at each other. With Lillianna's now speed she was able to dodge all of Piccolo's attacks, but he wasn't as lucky. A majority of her hit struck him, she did her best to hold back her strength as to not critically injure him. It was hard once they got into the heat of the fight to concentrate on her strength, a punch from Lilliana hit him square in the chest and sent him flying backward a hundred feet.

He laid there for a moment trying to catch his breath, but then he was back on his feet. He threw out his hands and shot a Ki blast at her, she didn't try to dodge it; instead she deflected it with her hand sending it into the nearby forest. Once the dust settled they stayed standing, Piccolo was out of breath but Lillianna wasn't affected at all.

"Is that all you got Piccolo, I thought you had better." Lilli poked at him trying to get a rise out of him. He smirked a preceded to remove his cape and turban, he took a moment to stretch out his muscles then lowered into a fighting stance. She chuckled and lowered as well, they charged again going full force into the fight. There were grunts and cries of pain as someone landed a blow on the other. She felt her power raising with each blow, they were both steadily raising into the air as they swung blows at each other at an in human speed. Lillianna finally got annoyed at the constant punching and threw a Ki blast at him which sent him flying to the ground.

He didn't lay there long, he jumped back up and shot a Ki blast right back at her but she was a little faster and was able to dodge it. She floated back down to the ground, Piccolo didn't wait to lunge at her throwing punches. She wrapped her arms across her chest and stuck to just dodging thing rather than fighting back. She waited till he tired himself out, and that he did. His attacks started to slow and it became increasingly easier to dodge them, finally she had enough and caught one of his fist mid-swing. She turned on her trade mark smirk and started pushing him back, he tried to swing his other fist but she caught that as well. As she was backing him up she angled the fists she held so that it also pushed him down to the ground. She finally had him kneeling on the ground, both were growling at each other. She didn't realize that her hands had clutched his fists so hard that her nails began to dig in drawing blood, the wind changed directions and blew against her face. Effectively blowing the scent of his blood straight to her, once she caught on her whole demeanor changed.

She began pushing him back more, her hand clutching so tight it was almost breaking the bones in his hands. Her eyes had taken on the blood shot look she had when you first woke as a vampire, Piccolo by now was used to this outburst, he used the lapse in her concentration to pull her to the ground with the hand she held. She looked at him shocked for a moment before she gained a tiny bit of her sanity back, she knew what was about to happen and she didn't mind it. Though she always preferred it to be someone else she drank from, at the moment she really didn't have a choice and she was lucky that Piccolo even allowed her to do it in the first place. She watches as he took his hands back after she released them, he shifted so that he was sitting beside her. She could tell that even though this was the first time they did this it still made him uneasy, he lifted his arm and offered it to her. She was gentle when she took him arm in her hands, but she didn't hold back as she bit down on his wrist. When it first happened, it took a couple bites till she was able to pierce a small vein and get blood flowing fast enough to drink. She felt him cringe under her and she tried to calm him with her energy but it was hard to concentrate.

She was finally satisfied after a couple of minutes and let him go after licking the wound closed. She sat there in silence as he healed himself, it was always awkward after and the normally didn't talk to each other for hours sometimes close to a day. She knew why, because piccolo wasn't the type to show compassion or kindness and with him feeding her it made it weird between them. The first time he offered she refused, after she had woken up to her new life as a hybrid she had done research on what she had become. She learned about blood sharing and that it was meant to be done with someone significant a "Mate" as they called it. One person came to her mind when she learned about it, she when Piccolo offered she refused saying they only one she'd drink from was Goku if he wanted that. She tried to live of the Animals around her but it never satisfied her and she found herself losing control quiet often in sparing. Piccolo finally told her that she had to, that between them it meant nothing. He was only doing it to keep her focused in training, so after a huge argument she finally gave in. Tears burned down her cheeks as she reluctantly drank from Piccolo's wrist, all she could think about is that she felt she betrayed Goku. Afterward she made it her mission to not let the blood drinking go to her mind, that whenever she fed from Piccolo she would keep Goku in mind. She also prayed that Goku wouldn't turn his back on her now that she was different, now that she was a monster.

That was something that often kept her awake at night tossing and turning, what would Goku think when he returned and found out she become something that most people run from. Would he run from her? Would he reject her love now? These thoughts always tightened her chest and flooded her eyes, she could stand the thought that she might lose the one thing that has been her only reason to keep fighting. While she sat there in thought she absentmindedly stroked the wrist bands she wore, they were the exact same as Goku's and it was the first piece of weighted training clothes he had given her. Tears dripped to the ground as scenes played in her head of his reaction to her being a vampire, then a thought formed in her head. If he rejected her she knew she wouldn't be able to go on, she would let her brother and Nappa kill her without a fight.

"I think that's enough for tonight Lillianna, get some rest." With that he took off into the air and left her there alone. She sat there letting the tears spill, she would wait to tell Goku about it for as long as she can. She would hide this side from him, so that he won't see the monster she has become. Then he won't leave. It would be easy as long as she kept herself fed, he would never know the difference in her. With that thought in mind she was able to calm down enough to go to sleep, and while she slept she dreamt of her life with Goku and she smiled.
