Chapter 20: Penguin Village

Krillian sighed at the loss of the treasure; Bulma had a hidden diamond in her undies; and I remembered the bag I snagged. I shifted it off my shoulder to look in it, nothing. It was dark, no inner lining as a normal bag would have. I furrowed my brow and stuck my hand in it. I was surprised to find that my entire arm could fit in it and still have loads of space. I moved my arm down, past the bag's physical appearance. I raised an eyebrow at it. Then I had a feeling.

In my mind, I pictured one of the gold coins in my hand, and I felt something in my hand. I looked and I had a gold coin. I opened the bag wider and thought of the treasure that was in it. It gleamed at me in the endless depths of the bag.

I took a closer look at the bag's outside appearance. Its brown leather looked newer than it did before, less ragged and worn. I then noticed the strap and side of the bag had my name stitched onto it with brown twine. I also noticed that the straps could change in length and position. Bulma noticed me inspecting it.

"Hey Kagome what did you get the bag for."

"I don't know. When I found it, I felt I would need it. It seems to be bottomless."

"What do you mean?"

I showed here the mounds of treasure in the bag. She cried out in shock. She tried to get a scoop of treasure into her hand but she couldn't. I tried and gold coins and a tiara glittered in my hand. I gave the tiara to Bulma as she gave Krillian the diamond for Master Roshi. We all headed toward Master's island. I had the bag shouldered, the strap going across my chest.

When we got there and gave Master Roshi the diamond, Luanch was in robber mode so she took the diamond and Bulma's tiara and flew off. Goku and I were going to search for the other Dragon Ball to see if it was going to be Grandpa's and leave the other three here at Master's. Bulma was going home, but without an aircraft she wasn't able too.

Next thing I know, I can feel the man behind the house. I ran to confront him but I got tied up by blue rope before I could hit the guy. I heard the others yell, letting me know that they were tied up too. He chuckled at my form on the ground before picking me up and slumping me over his shoulder. I tried harder to get free when he got the Dragon Balls and left a Bomb.

He had an aircraft capsule, but there was only enough room for one person. I was in his lap when he was flying. In my lap was Bulma's small backpack with the Dragon balls. When I felt Goku nearing me, I slammed my tail the bastard's face. I grabbed the back pack with my teeth and using my legs, I vaulted out of the aircraft, breaking the glass just as the man boosted away by accident because of the hit I gave him.

I landed on Kintuon in front of Goku. He grinned and cheered for me. I let go of the Dragon Balls, so I could talk. Kintuon had slowed down to an easy cruise.

"Yeah, it's good to be back. Now can you help big sister out of these ropes?"

"Oh yeah"

"Alright, let's drop these off back at Master's house and we'll come back to deal with the asshole that is bound to come back. How does that sound?"

"Yeah! Let's do it!"

We were about to do just that but the asshole came back. I stuffed Bulma's backpack in my new bag. I took a swipe with the Bo Staff, but he avoided it. We stare off. I glanced around to see if we could use something. I spotted a mountain. I smirked and make a funny face to make him chase and focus solely us. Just before we touched the side of the mountain, I pull up sharply, so he crashed into the mountain. I turned too sharply so we both fell off Kintuon after a ways from the crash. We high fived as we were falling through the air. We landed solidly on our feet next to a house, a little girl, and two floating tiny people. I looked back at the smoke trailing through the air in tense silence.

"Hey Goku, I think that man is still around."

"What?! Are you sure Kagome?"

"I wish I wasn't, but let's check it out."

I sighed as Goku's face turn serious. He called for the Kintuon. We looked at and through the crash site of the air craft. My sense was right. That man was still alive and somewhere. I looked over to the little girl that followed us. She can run really fast. That was when I got a better feel of her. She was just like Hacchan! I smiled at the little girl who is interacting with Goku.

"Wait a moment; we need to find the bad guy, Goku! You can take Kintoun. I'll search on the ground. Now go!"

I watched as Goku nod and take off. I ran around the mountain and the surrounding plains for the bastard. After that Goku and I met back up to discuss our findings or lack thereof. I was thinking of some ways of finding the man until I remembered something.

"Hey Goku, check the Dragon Radar! If I remember correctly, one of the Dragon Balls fell out of Bulma's backpack before I escaped. I saw him pocket it before you came!"

It was convenient as it was bad. When Goku tried to use the Dragon Radar, it wouldn't work. Now we need to go back to where Bulma is, so she could fix it. The only problem is that we didn't know where we were, and the kids with us didn't know where Master Roshi lives. Then the little girl spoke up.

"Hey, is that broken?"

"Oh, yeah, it is."

"The scientist can fix it then!"

"Really!"

We asked her to tell us where the man lived, but she wanted to ride Kintoun as payment. So, I had the two flying toddlers in my lap, and I also had my tail wrapped around the girl's waist so they wouldn't fall off. They were good kids, so they can get on. I just didn't want them to fall off and possibly die or hurt themselves. Goku steered his cloud to do tricks before we stopped at the house we landed by earlier. We all dismounted the little cloud.

"Alright! That was fun! Now, we need our device to be fixed."

"Ah! Over there! It's the scientist!"

We walked over to greet the scientist. The little girl didn't point to the specific person to the two adults, so I greeted both them. When the scientist is discovered to be the shorter man, we asked him to fix our device. That was when I noticed I was still in my tube top and shorts. I turned to the scientist's wife.

"Um, excuse me, but you wouldn't happen to have any spare cloths I could wear for the moment?"

"Oh dear, yes, right this way."

I was lead into the house. Out of an old trunk in the woman's room, she gave me a pair of jeans and an old white t-shirt. My new bag hung against my hip. We came back outside just in time to see the Dragon Radar is fixed. I had felt a flex of power coming from their son, but I kept quiet with a smile until felt that man nearing the house.

Before I could react, that bastard grabbed hold of the little girl at knife point. He froze Goku, but I leaped a kick at him. I was too fast for him, so I landed a solid hit to the side of his head. That knocked him away from the little girl safely. The man had thudded against a funny looking tree that looked similar to the one on Master Roshi's island. He shook his head and turned to slice the trunk. He thrusted it at me, but I was able to slice it down the middle. I was going to zoom over to end the drawn out fight when he ran over to Goku and stole the Dragon Radar. I boiled with rage when he kicked my brother. I phased over to behind him and roughly grabbed his neck and thrusted him in a random direction so that skidded on the ground on his back. I stalked over while he was stunned and firmly planted my foot on his chest. I felt his hammering heart under it, but I searched his pockets. I was able to get the Dragon Ball before I was flipped and pinned to the ground. He used his height and weight to make it difficult to move.

"Now, dear, don't make me do this."

I glared at him. I blinked when he was sent flying by the little girl. I sat up to see her head butt him into the distance. I got up and went over to the animated Goku. I checked him over for injuries. I sighed.

"Oh! I just remembered! I got the Dragon Ball, but he got away with the Dragon Radar. It's going to be difficult to find the rest of them now."

Then the little flouting toddler offered to make us a new radar. We thanked him a bunch. I promised to come back again someday, and we were off.

Sorry everyone! My excuse: Life happened and school and research on Penguin Village

I found out that Penguin Village originated form an older manga called Dr. Slump. A very funny and slightly disorganized manga.

Hope these next chapters will soothe your anger! Review what you think!
