Chapter 7- Confessions of passing months.

It had been a month since we left a sleeping Gohan to fend for himself. And as far as we could sense, he had avoided being eaten by a dinosaur so far. We had gone to a wasteland about half a planet away from Gohan and people themselves, so that Piccolo could 'train' me. His idea of training was attempting to beat the crap into me. I say attempting though, cause now I was able to dodge most of his hits, and land some of my own. He was getting stronger too, which meant I had to double my training. I'd also refused to teach him white fire until I decided I was strong enough. Which could be a while.

"Your getting better, but you still can't beat me" Piccolo was a fierce trainer, and fighter. Causing me to flip back, and throw my ki at him within a matter of seconds to avoid getting burnt to a crisp.

"Oh please, you haven't landed a hit on me since yesterday, and we've been out here for five hours already"

"Oh yeah?" He disappeared then appeared in front of me, but the blow came from behind in the base of my spine. I was crippled instantly and landed face down in the sands of this forsaken wasteland.

"That was a cheap trick Piccolo" I coughed as I swallowed some of the harsh grainy sand. "Two against one is hardly fair"

"Who said this was going to be fair" He smirked before the split part of him reattached itself. Cocky bastard. Just cause I couldn't split into two.

"I'm taking a break, I need a swim" And I was all too aware of how sore loser I was being as I stormed away in the direction of the stream. Like the guy needed a raise to his ego, which he didn't.

I had to restrain a laugh as she stormed of in a huff. I suppose it wasn't fair but she was getting too strong for me as it was. Splitting into two was my last resort. I never told her though. I didn't want her to let it go to her head. As I'm sure humans do. If she was human that is. All we did was eat, train and sleep. We barely talked and if we did, it was never about ourselves or our past. Which suited me just fine.

And then that strange part of my body, the part I never bothered with. Stuck up again, making a bulge in my pants. It was always like that around Lessa, not that I knew why. But Lessa wasn't here now, so why it was like that was a mystery. Then I realized why, I was thinking about Lessa in the water. The strange part liked that, it even started throbbing almost painfully in response. I had the strangest urge to go and spy on her, to see if the real thing was as good as the picture in my head.

It was halfway across the planet, a stream she had found when we were watching Gohan. Luckily Gohan had moved on, so he never saw us when we went there. I only came for water to drink though, usually. This time I had a different agenda. When I was right under the canopy of trees, I pulled my ki in close, masking my presence so that Lessa wouldn't know I was here. She had after all, learned to sense other people's ki's.

It was a good thing I had as well. By the sounds of splashing water, she wasn't far away. I followed the stream downwards, flitting in and out of trees. When the sounds were almost right in front me, I stopped, almost tripping over a rock that was by the edge of the water. Behind it was a soft fabric of some sort, and picking it up with my hands I suddenly realized who it belonged to.

These were Lessa's clothes, Lessa was naked in the water. The strange part seemed delighted with the knowledge and continued wrestling with my pants to come out. I had never seen a naked female before. In fact I rarely saw a female at all. I had no idea what differences there were between male and females, except the two lumps females had on their chests. Well and the fact females tended to have longer hair and slightly softer features. But there was obviously something I had missed. The reason why females had offspring and why males didn't. I assumed males had the strange part between their legs, even if I was green and a different species, I was sure they had the same. But females, I was certain they didn't. In that area there wasn't a bulge. In fact it just seemed flat.

The water beside me rippled with disturbance, and I barely had time to crouch behind the rock before she appeared at the head of the water. She was stood up, treading the water which only just reached to her hips. Which meant I had a very clear view of those female lumps. Without the clothes she wore, the lumps looked perfectly rounded, and seemed to hang heavily over her flat but toned stomach. They were the same colour as her skin, a pearly white, with the exception of a pointy thing in the middle of the lump. It was pink and looked sharp enough to stab someone in the eye with. Around it was a small dark skinned circle.

And wasn't even the best part. I desperately looked for that place between those firm legs of hers, needing to know the difference between male and female that had eluded me for so long. The water was clear, and it didn't hide anything. Where I had a hard rod of skin, she had a flat surface. But at the very bottom there was a slit. Unless she got out of the water and lied on her back with her legs spread open, which wasn't going to happen. There was no way of seeing how far around the slit went. But I had good reason to believe that the hard rod males had were supposed to go in those female slits.

I spent longer in the water than I had to meant to. Letting the serenity of nature calm me down so that I no longer wanted to slap that smirk of Piccolo's face. It was an hour at least before I returned to Piccolo. He was in the same place I left him, except he was sat cross-legged. I at first thought he was meditating again, but on a closer look his eyes were open and he seemed to be trying to avoid looking at me.

I looked downwards in a panic, thinking that maybe I had forgotten to put my clothes back on but no, they were still there.

"Why are you avoiding me?" When I was ignored again, I sat down beside him, folding my arms. "I'm not going anywhere til you talk to me"

"I'm not ignoring you" But he still wouldn't look at me.

"Yes you are" I pushed myself onto my knees, crawling around to sit right in front of him. I then grabbed his head with both hands and forced his eyes on mine. Bad idea. I almost leant forward to kiss him when I saw the fire in his black eyes.

"What is sex Lessa" I dropped my hands like he'd burned me. "Why is it that males and females are different. And that when I see you this strange part of me feels so hard that im surprised it doesn't explode" His hand dropped down his chest, cupping the bulge in his pants. A warm wetness filled my own pants. His innocence at not knowing what sex was turned me on more than anything else. It was taking all my self-restraint not to straddle him and show him exactly what sex was.

I was all too aware of the fact that night had now hit and of how close and alone we were.

I had never been asked something like this before, and assumed I would only ever experience that awkwardness if I had kids.

'So word it in the way that you would tell your kids'

'I really don't think this is the same thing' But I suppose that was better than stealing his virginity. Those things should really be kept for someone you love. I mean hell, mine was taken by my brother when I was drunk, and I regret that even if he doesn't.

"Well...When a man and women love each other, or even just have an interest in each other. This part of a man" I stopped and placed my hand on the tip of the bulge, the only place where his hands weren't already. I rubbed my finger around in a circle twice, gauging his reaction. His small fangs bit down into his lip, and he growled. It wasn't angry growling though, it was purely sexual. "This part is taken into a womans body, and it gives pleasure for both them. It's a way of bonding and creating offspring" I used my other hand to cover my sexual part. The slick wetness making the pants rub against me in a way that was nicer than I needed right now.

When he spoke his voice was low, and his eyes burned with that consuming fire. I shifted uncomfortably at the thought of having him inside where it ached for him most. Both of us would no doubt lose control.

"Have you ever done that with another male?" Now it was my turn to bite my lip.

"Yes, I have" And the moment was gone. A distance put between us. I could finally breathe again.

"Where is your offspring then?"

"Having sex doesn't always create offspring. There are ways of preventing it or sometimes it just doesn't happen" Piccolo breathed a sigh of relief and stopped growling.

"Good"

Another month had passed the same way. No mention of sex or male or female parts; and thank god for that as well.

When I woke however, everything felt different.

I was probably pushing my luck, but last night Lessa had fallen asleep in my lap and I hadn't the heart to push her away. It felt nice. Warm, comforting even. So I simply rolled her onto the ground with my arm still around her and took in the warmth of her body as we both slept. She was waking now though, and after the confusion went, her eyes hosted anger as she spotted me beside her.

Even now, I should probably back away; but I was curious as to how this would turn out.

"What the hell do you think your doing" she demanded, her teeth gritted and a slow growling sound came from deep in her throat. This was apparently not going the way I planned.

"I fell asleep like it. It's not my fault you fell asleep in my lap"

"How dare you. I have a mate. You do not touch me without my say so" We stood at the exact same time, and I had no time to move before she slung her fist at my face. The pure anger knocking me flat on the ground.

She wasn't done either. I felt my body being lifted and then thrown. Air constricting my lungs before I slammed into the nearest mountain.

"Are you done..?" I said meekly. I guess I deserved it.

"Yes…I'm done"

And for the rest of the day, there was no mention of the incident.

"Gohan, are you there!?" Piccolo called out frantically, scanning the ferocious waves for any sign of Gohan. We could sense his energy, so he was still alive but it was waning.

We weren't due to find Gohan for another two months, but a terrible storm had whipped up in late afternoon, continuing on into the night. It was then we had both sensed Gohan in danger.

Chucking aside the fish fillet we had for dinner, we had come to the ocean where we sensed him last, but he was lost within the depths of the cascading waves.

"There's nothing we can do Lessa" It was harsh but true. I slipped my arms around his waist and dipped my head onto his back for comfort.

"I know Piccolo. We'll just wait and hope"

It was just another way to pass the remaining months.
