Chapter Sixteen- It's a long wait

We were safe, for three hours. Not something either side was pleased about if truth be told. I didn't want my death to be dragged out, and Nappa clearly wanted something between his hands if his clenching and un-clenching fists were anything to go on. Piccolo seemed unaffected however, shooting death glares at Gohan was his main concern.

"Don't be so harsh on the kid Piccolo, he's never been in battle before" Trust Krillin to stick up for Goku's kid. But he did have a point.

"He ruined our only chance, and to make things even worse its obvious that Vegeta is even stronger. If- and only if we actually beat Nappa, we don't need this kind of thing happening when we're battling Vegeta. It's a death wish for goodness sake"

I shook my head and trained my senses on the saiyans instead. The two were talking, and they made no effort to keep their words from us, drifting over on the carefree breeze of dust.

"So Vegeta, what was it we were going to wish for again? Because personally I think we should wish for Raditz back or something because Frieza is going to be fuming that there's only two of us left now. We didn't even get authorization from him to come here did we?" Vegeta's eyebrows knitted close together, as if this Frieza person was a problem.

Could there really be someone even more powerful than these saiyans? A quick glance at Piccolo and the others told me they hadn't heard. They were too busy pointing out Gohan's flaws.

"Look Nappa, we're here to wish for immortality. Once we have that, we have no need for that weakling Raditz and Frieza is not going to be a problem. Because once we're immortal Frieza can't stop us and it will be me, the prince of all saiyans who will rightfully rule over the galaxies" He spoke of it with such enthusiasm I almost thought he was going to salivate and get an erection over it. I thought Piccolo was bad, but Vegeta was right up there in the book of bad guys who were completely in over their head.

'Still want to sleep with him?'

'Of course, the whole bad guy thing just adds a bit of flavor that's all. It's not like I want to marry him or anything'

"You know guys, I'm getting worried about Goku. He should have been here by now" Krillin was shifting from foot to foot edgily, watching the sky as if it would rain down Goku's dead body.

"What's there to be worried about, he's in the world of dead people right? It's our lives we need to be worrying about" I pointed out.

"Lives that we won't have if he doesn't get here in time"

"Way to lighten things up Piccolo. Or have you forgotten there's a five year old kid here who also happens to be his son?"

"Maybe we should try to leave whilst we have the chance" Krillin looked hopefully towards the saiyans, where Vegeta was still lecturing Nappa on their immortality speech.

"There's no point, they'll kill us before we even make it of the ground" Piccolo folded his arms and nodded towards me. I understood what he meant. Krillin was bordering on hysterical now, and with each word Gohan panicked more.

"What will we do if he doesn't arrive!?" he panicked.

"Well that's obvious. We die" Piccolo kept a straight face.

"I'm too young to die! I haven't even had a girlfriend!" Gohan looked down at the ground, his legs trembling.

"Just shut up will you! How are we supposed to be strong and stick together if you can't even look on the positive side!"

"There is no positive side!"

"Can you all just shut up!" Piccolo roared. Vegeta and Nappa had stopped stopping talking and now had their eyes fixated on us.

Krillin gulped.

"I'm sorry mr Piccolo" Gohan apologized meekly, so quiet we almost missed his words.

Piccolo turned away, so that all Gohan got was his back.

"You should just go home kid. Since you can't do anything here. Your just getting in my way"

"Stop being so harsh on him!" Krillin protested. But the damage was done. Gohan scuffed the dust slightly with his black boots as he trod slowly away from us. His whole body was slumped, as if being useless was an effort in itself. Only a person without a heart could watch that without being touched.

"Oh Gohan; come back. Don't listen to him- he doesn't mean it" But he kept on walking.

"Look what you've done now Piccolo" I elbowed him in the ribs.

"Like I care" was his reply. The saiyans were watching Gohan carefully, and Nappa furrowed his brow before lobbing a blast of ki at the oblivious Gohan. It hit the mountain in front of him, causing Gohan to jump out of his skin.

"Don't even think about going anywhere kid. Your staying right here until we've sorted things out with your daddy"

"I only wanted to use the bathroom!"

"Too bad kid, you'll just have to wait"

"Yeah well, you smell!" Gohan yelled, close to tears before sprinting back to Piccolo. Sometimes he really was like a child.

"I do not smell!" Nappa exclaimed angrily, and the lightning crackled again. He was getting wound up over a child's petty insults. I resisted the temptation to facepalm.

Suddenly, the sound of a multitude of helicopters reached my ears. Looking up, my guess was right. Five helicopters with a gaggle of people and cameras inside were swooping low over us, attempting to catch the moment. I assumed this was the planet's equivalent of the press, not that i'd ever been famous enough on my own earth to ever see the press.

"Hey Vegeta, can I go have some fun whilst we wait for Kakarot to turn up?"

"Sure, knock yourself out" Nappa flew of within a second. The approaching press panicked and turned, attempting to out fly Nappa over the mountains. They were all gone within a minute, and we still had over two hours to kill. Luckily we weren't going to spend it killing innocent people; which was what Nappa had gone of to do.

Vegeta was still sat in the exact same position when Nappa got back two and a half hours later with a giant grin on his face. I was surprised he didn't have cramp. Nappa winked at me before slipping of his chest-plate armor with ease. Revealing a bulky torso with sweat beads.

"So, where's Kakarot then?" he inquired. His smile however suggested he already had the answer.

"He hasn't turned up huh? Shame, I was hoping for some action. I guess unlike you weaklings he took the safe option out of it"

"Goku isn't like that! He will get here, you'll see!"

"Krillin, it's no use. We need to come up with a new plan now and you being hysterical isn't going to help us" Piccolo was firm in his tone.

"Krillin, you'll distract him whilst I sneak up and grab his tail. It's then up to Lessa and Gohan to finish him of"

"That's your plan? Seriously?" He shot a dark look at me. I shrugged.

"Sorry, but your clearly desperate if that's all you can come up with"

"Well maybe I'm the only one here who's actually prepared to do anything so that we don't die. Since when do you give up hope so easily anyway"

"Oh I don't know, since death started staring me in the face" His lips twisted and his eyes flared. It was hard to resist pulling him down to the floor and then fucking him within an inch of his life. As if he'd read my mind, a sensual heat took place in his eyes and he had to look away.

"Piccolo, I can't do it" Gohan butted in, thankfully ruining the moment.

"Yes you can kid" For the first time Piccolo looked at him with sympathy.

"Do it for us"
