It was the day before the two saiyans should be arriving. Kami could feel it. He had told Tien, Yamcha, and Krillin to go home for the day and relax. There was nothing more he could do, but give them one day with their loved ones in case they could not defeat the saiyans. Staring out over a planet that might not be around very long, his thoughts moved to Piccolo. "Mr. Popo... I can feel that I might not survive this..."

"Kami are you sure?"

"Nothing is certain, but I think Piccolo can feel it too. I doubt he'd admit to it, but part of the reason he's training Gohan is so he can leave something of himself on this planet. Something has changed in him. Whether it's because of Rori or Gohan or both... I'm not sure, but I feel him becoming less evil. It's a shame that it had to happen so close to the end." Kami stated staring off the look out with a worried Mr. Popo behind him.

"That's it kid... go home." Piccolo stated with his usual stoic look after Gohan fell to the ground.

"But I don't understand. Did I do something wrong?" Gohan asked standing up brushing himself off.

"Today was the last day of training. It won't be good if you're all worn out tomorrow when the saiyans arrive. Go home, see your mom, get cleaned up and rest."

Gohan nodded and flew up to leave, but stopped before he got to high in the air, "Thanks Mr. Piccolo!"

With that the young half saiyan flew off. A hint of a smile tugged at Piccolo's lips, but he suppressed it and started for the house Bulma had given to Rori. I wonder what my little trouble maker is up to... he thought as he ran through the woods.

Initially Rori had done most of her training with Piccolo, but as soon as Gohan began to gain his strength the dynamic had shifted. Gohan needed more help than she did, she knew that, but that didn't keep her from missing her mate while he was off training the child. Now she spent most of her time in the gravity training room, upping the gravity a bit more each day. She was doing some pull ups off of a bar when the gravity went back to normal without warning causing her to fall over estimate the pull and fall flat on her butt.

The doors opened and she didn't even need to look to know who it was. Rori leaned back on her arms and tilted her head backwards to find Piccolo in the door way smirking at himself for being so clever, "A little warning next time, hun."

"And miss this view?" he said with a chuckled, helping her up.

"How's Gohan?" she asked as soon as pulled her up, not wanting to do anything too bad to Piccolo in case there was a kid around.

"I sent him home. The saiyans will be here tomorrow some time. The kid's been getting better, honestly he's probably our best hope." he told her as he pulled her to him, "but then again, I haven't seen your progress... Perhaps I should check on that."

Piccolo's hands started to roam her body one hand falling down the small of her back the other moving up her side, but she pulled away, until they were arms length apart linking her fingers with his, "You won't find the answer like that..."

She let go of his hands and then backed up showing she was ready for him if he really did want to test out her skills. Piccolo nodded, but instead of charging her, he split himself into two. Rori had never seen him do this before and let her lower lip protrude, "no fair... I have to fight two of you?"

Both Piccolo's began closing in on her but she just smirked, "...well all right, but if I win I get to take both of you to bed with me tonight..."

The two... well three fought for almost an hour until Piccolo fused back together. They seemed evenly matched, though Rori was certain she had the upper hand. She closed the gap between them wrapping her arms around his neck and nuzzled her nose against his playfully, "hey where'd your friend go?"

"Gone" he said simply picking her up in his arms as he moved down the hall with her, "I don't like to share you."

Rori laughed at him and playfully pinched his nose as he took her to the bath, "not even with yourself?"

"I'm a very jealous man." he answered letting her down and she started running the bath before she turned to undress him. They both helped each other undress between kisses and then sank down into the bath together. Rori had her back against chest and leaned her head back to place a kiss on his chin, "hey.. I've been thinking... you know you've been really good with Gohan."

"We can't keep him... he's your brother's you know..." he joked. Rori rolled over in his arms lightly punching him. "That's not where this is going and you know it!"

It went silent for a few moments, neither were sure whether or not to say anything. Rori began to worry her bottom lip deciding whether to start again, but Piccolo beat her to it, "If we do survive... I wouldn't be opposed to-"

Before he could get another word out Rori pressed her lips against his. Her arms linked around his shoulders as their lips parted and she smiled at him, "you really wouldn't mind?"

Piccolo had been thinking about having a child with Rori the more time he spent with Gohan, but things were messy right now. If the saiyans killed them or just him, he couldn't leave her with a child. Rori was still so unfamiliar with the world, if something happened to him he was worried what might happen to her. Piccolo wasn't one to hope for anything, but now he was putting all his strength into staying alive for her. He looked down at her with a smile and ran his fingers through her hair, "I'd like it if we did."

It had been almost a year that the two saiyans had been traveling to the remote planet and both were starting to a bit antsy in their tiny pods. One more so than the other, "Vegeta... how much longer...?"

"Open your eyes you buffoon, it's right in front of us." The young prince answered with discontent dripping from his lips.

Within a few moments the two space pods crashed into the center of a city. Unlike Raditz, they didn't have very much privacy upon landing. As the exited their pods there were crowds of people looking down upon them, some in worry others in excitement, but they were making a large crowd nonetheless Nappa and Vegeta both ascended into the air taking the appearance of the people who inhabited the planet, weaklings. "Well Nappa, I suppose I'll let you decide what to do with them for once."

"Thanks Vegeta. This will really put me in a better mood." he smirked as he let his energy release from one of his hands destroying the entire city in one quick blinding light. "If that didn't impress them I don't know what will."

Nappa gave Vegeta a proud look, waiting to be praised for his actions, but he only received a dark stare from his prince. Nappa had not pleased him. "What's the matter Vegeta? It's just one town, we'll still be able to sell the planet no problem."

"And what about the dragon balls you moron?!" he yelled to his partner letting the rage take over him, but he extinguished it in an instant. "You'd better hope that one of them wasn't in that city you just destroyed or our trip here was worthless."

"I-I... didn't think of that. Sorry Vegeta..."

"What's done is done. Let's find our princess and make quick work of this..." he said as he began pushing buttons on the scouter.

"Heh... even as a girl she should have the highest power level on this planet" Nappa laughed at his own joke until he saw Vegeta was not and quickly cut himself off. "Why are there so many power levels over a thousand, this thing must be broken."

"The highest two are in this direction" Vegeta pointed off in the distance and the two began flying towards their targets.

A/N: Wow I didn't realize that so many people liked this story. I've been really busy, but here's the next chapter and I've already finished through the Saiyan Saga, I just need to proof it so another chapter will be up soon. I hope to get at least through Namek, by the end of the month.
