Another bit of Dororo and a Giroro and Natsumi chapter.

Sorry since Dororo isn't really a hero in this story he's not really a main character. He's the traitor to the platoon.

His two best friends in the world hadn't come for him. And although Dororo was now waiting for Keroro to die, he had another person to enact vengeance on that could hurt the planet.

Giroro had forgotten about him too. He had never stuck up for Dororo when Keroro was hurting him.

"I think I got a lead." Koyuki told Dororo, nodding to him. "Natsumi seems very defensive when the subject of Keronians come up. And he's the last one we can't find."

Dororo smiled. "Perfect. He must be her prisoner then." He wouldn't hurt Koyuki's new friend, Natsumi, in the least bit. Instead he'd find Giroro and strike.

Giroro's face would be added to his collection. And then he'd be gone. He'd never have the chance to forget about Dororo again.

Dororo didn't feel any guilt or regret when he thought about murdering his old friend. Instead he felt a large sense of righteousness.

He was helping Natsumi, protecting her even. Soon Giroro wouldn't be a problem and he'd just be a blotch on his past that was gone.

Giroro no longer cared about finding the rest of his platoon mates.

Kululu's the only one in immediate danger and who cares about him. Natsumi had his undivided attention and although she kept reminding him that he was her prisoner, she never acted like he was. Sometimes she'd tease him or smile at him. She had started brushing his arm lightly with lingering touches.

He was completely in love with her. He didn't care what the other keronians were up to. All he wanted was Natsumi in his life. Nobody else...They didn't matter.

She was his friend. And although she never called him a friend, Giroro knew they both thought it. The collar he wore was just for show, he could easily break it in a second.

There was a knock on Natsumi's door as she was playing with Giroro. They were wrestling like a bunch of weirdos. There wasn't anything remotely sexual about their wrestling, Giroro had just threatened to try to escape and Natsumi was playing along and trying to attack him. They were giggling and laughing as they wrestled and tickled each other.

"Stay here. I'll get it." Natsumi requested. It wasn't really an order, but she gave him a small smile.

"You can't make me do anything!" Giroro stubbornly said, walking by Natsumi's side. Their game of pretend of him being her prisoner made him happy, but he liked to be by Natsumi's side. It made him feel like they were really together and he wasn't just a sex slave.

"Koyuki." Natsumi opened the door.

Giroro frowned. Koyuki must have been the new friend Natsumi made at school. She had told him about the ninja clan, how they were like these cool romantic knight things that protected the common people. Natsumi adored them and idolized them but had warned Giroro that if he crossed their path, mercy would not be shown to him.

Koyuki took out her light saber at her side. "This has nothing to do with you, Natsumi." Koyuki hissed suddenly, "So please do not get in the way. My lover wants to do battle with him." She pointed at Giroro.

Natsumi looked surprised as another keronian stood by Koyuki's side. "...Lover? Wait, is that one of your race, Giroro?"

"Zeroro?" Giroro looked shocked. He hadn't even considered looking for Zeroro.

"It's Dororo now." Dororo corrected, taking out his own sword.

"You have a mouth?" Giroro was even more shocked.

Dororo didn't respond, instead he blasted himself forward with his sword. Giroro pulled out a hunk of wood from the wall and used it as a shield. "What are you doing? We're on the same side!"

"I'm on the side of Pekopon. You are an evil alien trying to invade." Dororo hissed, "So for that, you must die for your sins!"

Giroro tried to throw him off and onto the floor, but Dororo quickly recovered.

Natsumi looked irritated as she watched the fighting. She wouldn't just stand by and watch this happen.

Koyuki put a hand on Natsumi's shoulder. "Dororo is a good alien. He is our friend and ally, you don't have to worry about him." She tried to speak up for Dororo.

"I hate aliens." Natsumi hissed, "The ones who pretend to be our allies or our friends are the worst!" She stomped her foot, "Can you really believe that? He's conning us!" Really she just didn't want to see her alien attacked.

Before Koyuki could twist her arm and stop her, Natsumi ran forward to get in between Giroro and Dororo's fighting.

"This is a one time thing, Giroro, don't get used to it." Natsumi hissed as she stood by Giroro's side.

Giroro tried not to drool. "You'll be fighting in battle with me?" He asked. It was like a dream.

Natsumi changed her arm into it's cannon mode. She was good at locking onto her target. "He's worse than you. To fight a common enemy, I suppose I'll have to."

Giroro smiled, "Don't kill him, I want to talk to him. He used to be my friend." He requested.

"I make no promises." Natsumi admitted. She didn't care about Dororo's life.

Koyuki looked desperate to stop the fighting as Dororo bounced around the room and tried to avoid attacking Natsumi and instead slashed at Giroro's legs and arms. A kiss wouldn't work on him. Giroro protected his lips pretty well.

"Natsumi!" Koyuki yelled once she saw Natsumi calibrating her arm and locking onto Dororo. She cared more for Dororo than Natsumi. She jumped onto her friend.

"Stop it Koyuki! He's an alien, you've sworn to destroy aliens!" Natsumi reminded as she struggled. Koyuki pressed some buttons on Natsumi's arm freezing it. Because of the ninja clans sci-fi villages, Koyuki was quite skilled with technology.

Natsumi hit her friend with her other hand. Koyuki's mask clattered to the ground.

Natsumi, Giroro and Dororo stopped fighting for a moment to look at Koyuki.

"AHHH! Don't look at me!" Koyuki screamed, the most normal thing about her face was the tears coming out of her eyes. Her eyes hadn't been ruined as she covered her face and the mass of fleshy scars and muscle tissue.

"W-what...What...Happened?" Natsumi felt herself get dizzy in disgust. She swooned to the right almost falling over.

Giroro caught her.

Does...Does the ninja clan do that to everyone? Are they...not heroes? Natsumi wondered. They had always been heroes to her. But that was...A nightmare to look at.

"I did that." Dororo admitted slowly. "Do not look at lady Koyuki with such disgust. The burden lies on me."

Natsumi screamed. "I KNEW ALIENS WERE EVIL!" She ran forward to Dororo, grabbing one of Giroro's grenades out of his hand. She'd throw it at him if she could.

"I will not harm you Natsumi." Dororo told her, "Like it or not, I'm part of your world now." He dodged Natsumi's attack.

Anyway anyone looked at it, Dororo was just more skilled than Natsumi in battle as Natsumi desperately ran at him and tried to slash at him. Dororo avoiding the blows.

Koyuki was frightened though of what might happen to her friend. So grabbing her light saber she ran up to Natsumi to defend Dororo, she tripped a bit on her mask on the ground and her body flung forward, her sword out and towards Natsumi's gut.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Giroro rushed forward and jumped up and kicked Koyuki in the head and away.

Dororo rushed to her side to inspect the wound. "How dare you hurt Lady Koyuki!"

Natsumi was just surprised. She touched her stomach lightly knowing it could have been stabbed. "You...You saved me? You protected me?" She glanced at Giroro.

"Ummm...I did it reluctantly." Giroro lied. "We're on the same side right now!" He defended.

Natsumi smiled. It was her job to decide if Giroro lived or died. Not Dororo's. She glared at Dororo as she fixed up her arm. Dororo worriedly looked at Koyuki when Natsumi picked him up by the head.

"Leave. Now. Or else I'll squish your head like a bug." Natsumi threatened.

Dororo nodded, frightened. He could feel how strong Natsumi was with her metal grip. "I couldn't continue attacking him anyway. I need to make sure Lady Koyuki's face wounds haven't reopened." He admitted.

The two disappeared in a blast of smoke. "Till next time Giroro! I will return to take your face as mine!" He uttered his signature line.

And the two of them were gone.

Giroro looked proud. They had defeated Dororo and Koyuki together.

Natsumi sighed and shyly glanced at Giroro. I can't keep doing this, beating around the bush and thinking Giroro's nice. He's an alien too. And he protected me...But I need to decide for good if he's going to stay or not.

It was time for the final test. To see if Giroro had what it took to live or die. The test she made all aliens go through. "I...I think it's time to finally consummate our relationship, Giroro." Natsumi blushed.

Giroro turned deep red, his head exploded. Okay, I get it. Battling by your side or against you makes me horny too, but now...? He had no complaints.

He was unaware if he accepted Natsumi that would seal his doom. The only way to win was to reject her advances and not show any sort of overly sexual nature of wanting her.

He was a dead man.

Natsumi plopped him on her bed and kept glancing at him as if waiting for something to happen. Giroro moved closer to the pillow, waiting for her to move closer to him.

Her arms rested on his arm, the metal of her robot arm gripping him tightly.

"So...So do you want me to start or I mean...This is your encounter..And I don't know what you like in bed." Giroro admitted, trying not to be embarrassed. His stubborn warrior nature was gone.

Oh no... Natsumi frowned. She had wanted him to live, but she could clearly tell by the way he was looking at her dazed and his hands twitching that he was aroused. She glanced down to his crotch area. She didn't really know what kind of genital keronians had and didn't really plan to find out. He's excited. He's a sicko and weirdo like all the rest. She had been rooting for him. She really had.

But he protected me. He saved my life. He came back. Does that give him any credit? She tried to debate with her own morals, wondering if she could find a loophole to rationalize to herself that Giroro was a good person and not a pervert like all other men. She knew she'd have to kill him soon.

"N-natsumi?" Giroro asked, looking at her.

"Aren't you going to fight back? I mean you usually fight back against any orders I give you!" Natsumi cried, trying desperately to let him know that he should not be saying yes to her.

Giroro's hand drifted up to her cheek and he caressed it. Natsumi tried not to wince.

"I'm your sex slave, aren't I? I knew this was coming for a while. I know that I won't be able to make it out of this." Giroro told her. He didn't sound reluctant though. "After all, my enemy would kill me if I refused. You'd kill me right?"

Natsumi frowned. "Hypothetically speaking, if I gave you a choice...And there wasn't any risk of dying, would you consummate your relationship with me?"

She didn't see Giroro as the frightened type. He wouldn't be afraid of dying. He had told her himself that he'd never be her prisoner.

Giroro turned very pink. "That isn't important!" He denied, "What's important is that you want this!"

Natsumi frowned. Yeah...He definitely wants this. That's denial right there. Crap, I am going to kill him.

She put her robotic arm behind her and tried to distract him with her other arm, her hand drifting down to his thighs to massage.

Giroro tried desperately not to groan as she switched her arm into a blade. He wouldn't see what was coming.

She pulled Giroro into a tight kiss. He won't realize the sword's gone through his back. She didn't usually kiss the aliens, instead murdering them violently, but she didn't really want Giroro to fight back.

She knew there was a risk he could escape. And since he had decided to accept her into bed she didn't want him to live. There could be no chance that he'd survive this.

He kissed her deeply and lovingly, but as she brought the blade to his back he pulled away.

"I...I need to tell you something, Natsumi. Before we sleep together." Giroro's hands were still on her face. His eyes were on hers. He wasn't even suspecting that she was almost going to kill him.

But her body froze at his words. A sparkle of hope was in her mind. Is he going to refuse? "Yes?"

Giroro looked really embarrassed. "I know it's not really my place to tell you this as your slave, but it wouldn't be right if I wasn't honest with you before I slept with you."

Oh. He's got an STD. Natsumi realized. It wasn't anything hopeful. She had heard this speech before.

"I...No, I need to tell you...For myself...I...I can't sleep with you as just your sex slave. I can't pretend like that." Giroro finally choked out.

Natsumi didn't understand what was happening.

"For all the time I've been your prisoner here on Pekopon, I've been in love with you." Giroro finally admitted.

Natsumi looked shocked.

"You're the most strong, brave, warrior I've ever faced. Although I am your enemy your ambitions are pure and honorable. You fight for your planet. I'm glad to have met you. You have an amazing warrior spirit, and I...I found myself attracted to that. I'm madly in love with you, Natsumi. I'm sorry." Giroro looked ashamed but also deeply into her eyes.

Natsumi's face contoured in sadness. N-no...No that can't be! Nobody had told her that before. She brought her sword arm away from Giroro. "You can't be in love with me!" She shook her head. She hadn't seen any signs.

But now Giroro's perverted idolization of her felt weird. Like he had real feelings for her, she had never considered it or even though anybody would love her. "I'm...I'm not what you love. I'm not some pure honorable warrior. You're wrong. Nobody on this planet is."
She knew what they all were. She might have hated aliens but they all tortured them needlessly. She felt like she didn't deserve Giroro's love.

She wasn't a cool warrior. She didn't deserve this. All she had were insecurities that she was dealing with through anger.

"You are though." Giroro reassured her.

She took his hand.

"I need to show you something. Then you'll see." Natsumi frowned. He wouldn't be in love with her anymore. And she wouldn't feel so weird, so terrible like she didn't deserve his affections.

She brought him down to the basement. Flicking on the lights she showed him all the heads of aliens she had collected.

"This...This is my trophy room. Honorable warriors don't have trophy rooms of the people they've killed." Natsumi said harshly.

Giroro looked around at all the heads. "Your...Previous sex slaves you've gotten bored of?" He wondered if his head would join them. He rubbed his neck.

"I didn't get bored of them, Giroro." Natsumi admitted, "I...I tell aliens they're my sex slaves and they believe me. I then test them to see if they're as perverted as the rest. When I feel they are ready I ask them to have sex with me...And if they say yes, I kill them right then before anything happens." Natsumi frowned as she looked at Giroro. His face changed to shock. "I lure aliens, Giroro. And you..." She showed him her robot arm which was now a blade. "Said yes."
"Ah...So I made the wrong choice." Giroro sighed, "I had no idea it was a test." He looked at her. She was going to kill him

She moved forward to stab him.

"I still love you though." Giroro said just simple words of forgiveness. Natsumi froze.

She looked at Giroro sadly. "I...I can't."

Giroro smiled.

"Go. You're not my prisoner anymore. I don't want you here. You can't be here. You...You and me...It wasn't ever meant to be, Giroro." Natsumi dropped to the ground.

"Natsumi..." Giroro walked over to comfort her.

"You're an alien. I can't be in love with an alien. And you can't be in love with a human girl. The only choice here is for me to kill you or for you to disappear from my life." Natsumi tried not to cry, "I'm not a warrior. And I don't believe you honestly love me. Nobody could. I'm not ready for you to give me that weird attention."

"I'll wait-" Giroro offered.

"I might never be ready." Natsumi said softly, "But I'll do one right thing in my life and set you free. Get off this planet. It will kill you." She reached up and snapped Giroro's collar off his neck.

Giroro glanced at her.

"GO!" She screamed again.

He nodded.

"And...If we ever see each other again, I won't feel so conflicted next time. Next time we'll be enemies just like we're supposed to be." Natsumi frowned.

Giroro was her friend at least somewhere deep in her heart. And she couldn't kill him. He had to leave before she did something she'd regret.

"I don't doubt it." Giroro smiled and rushed off.

When Giroro was gone, Natsumi cried over all her insecurities. How she couldn't believe he loved her even though he had said it so honestly.

She was strong after all. That was all she was. She had nothing else. So how could Giroro love that?

She had ripped off her own arm to be strong. She was damaged goods. Giroro could never love her, but he had.

Why wasn't...I okay with that? Natsumi wondered as she softly cried.

Please review.
