Ichigo had shot his eyes wide open as he had sat up feeling quite startled, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare. He had started to take rapid breaths to calm himself down, feeling that his heart was racing that felt like it was suffering from panic. Ichigo looked around his surroundings, and he saw that he was still in the same capsule house he had settled into last night where he had lied down on the floor with a sheet that wrapped around him. Along that he had felt drenched of sweat that were noticed onto his blue gi.

'Ok… this really, really, isn't some kind of a sick twisted joke someone is playing on me, or some messed up dream I'm having. I still am in the Dragon Ball world. Well that's just lovely!' Ichigo thought to himself in irritation as he had grit teeth, with his hands clutching onto the sheets. He had then taken a breath. 'Calm down... I gotta think through this. Maybe I just need to adapt more… that's all.'

Ichigo got the sheets off of him, and he had gotten up to stretch his back. He turned his head around and saw that Bulma was sleeping on a more comfortable bed that was right next to him. Except that she was laying on top of the sheets as well with just a nightgown on her, which more so unknown to her had also revealed some white panties she had.

"Hm?" Ichigo had gotten onto the bed and saw the panties. Feeling as though there was some memory that suddenly clicked in him, he began to chuckle silently to himself. "Oh yeah, I remember this, I think this was like the scene where Goku took off her panties on accident. Hehe…" though he could have the chance of taking them off, it really didn't suit him for doing something like that at all.

"Anyway…" Ichigo hopped out of the bed before he made his exit to the door. "I should probably train to calm my nerves. Just so that I can get used to this weird body." he told himself quietly so that he wouldn't wake Bulma up. He had then exited the door and proceeded to close it. Ichigo took a breath as he starred walking to a boulder that seemed to be around twice his size. "Ok… if I remember correctly, I should be about as strong as Goku was at the start as a 12 year old kid. So, let's see if I could destroy this thing…"

With that said, Ichigo had wrapped his arms around the boulder and had attempted to lift it up. "Let's do this!" he exclaimed as he had started to lift it while gritting through his teeth. There was some resistance shown from picking up the boulder, but nonetheless Ichigo had managed to lift it. However Ichigo's face had started to look strained from the red color shown on his face as he had tried to crush it. "Hrrrragh!" he yelled out as he had managed to crush the boulder to pieces with his bare hands.

Ichigo had taken a breath. "Well… that wasn't anywhere as hard as I thought it would be." he said as he dusted his hands off before he walked to another boulder. "Alright, let's try this one!" he had started to lift it again.

"Hey! Hold on, could you put me down please?!"

"Agh! What the hell?!" Ichigo let the boulder go, but except it wasn't a boulder at all, it was actually just a large sea turtle he was holding. Ichigo had let it go, and he was surprised to see Turtle instead. How in the world did he mistake that as a boulder? It was probably the massive shell. Although it looked more smaller.

"Oh boy… that was a little scary." the Turtle had remarked as he had taken breaths.

Ichigo on the other hand had just looked at Turtle with a surprised look on his face. 'Wait… hold on, what the heck is Turtle doing here? Agh, I don't remember well it's been a while since I even saw him in the series.'

"Hey! You out here somewhere?!" It was at that moment that Bulma had opened the door front and saw Ichigo outside. "Hey, there you are. I was wondering where you were." the girl had then looked over at Turtle. "Uh… what's a Sea Turtle doing here? Shouldn't you be at the ocean?" she asked in confusion.

Turtle had started to chuckle in embarrassment. "Well, uh… to make a long story incredibly short, I was just picking up mushrooms and then uh... I got lost. I'm really lost. I've been trying to find my way back to the ocean for over a year now." he had informed them.

"The ocean?! Ah geez, I don't know what to tell ya but you've been traveling to the opposite direction this whole time. But still, for a Sea Turtle you've really come a long way. Hang on, let me get my map here…" Bulma had then went back inside the house before she came back outside with a map on her hands that looked more like a book. "Bad news, you're really far from where you are now. The ocean is around 120 kilometers to the South."

"Whaaa…?! 120 kilometers?! Ah man… that'll take me another year at least to get back." Turtle said, as he seemed quite bummed out by the news.

"Well… sorry, Sea Turtle, wish there was a way to help you, but looks like that you'll have to find your way on your own." Bulma had lied, truth was more so that she didn't really wanna help. She was more focused on the Dragon Balls as of the moment.

Ichigo on the other hand hand couldn't help but feel pity for the poor turtle, especially that they had very slow speed. Although with him on the other hand… "Hang on, I think I should be able to help you get back in the ocean."

"Really?! You would do that?!" Turtle looked up to Ichigo with a hopeful look.

Bulma on the other hand didn't really take this too kindly. "Are you nuts?!"

"What?"

"Ichigo, I don't know if you know this but I'm pressed for time here! I only have about a month till I have to go back to school!" Bulma exclaimed. "I don't have that amount of time to transport a turtle back in the ocean!"

Ichigo had shrugged off from this. "Meh, figures you'd be really slow to help out anyways. But unlike me, I'm way more faster. So you can stop being so spastic, it'll take me like half an hour to get back here anyways. You can just do your hair or whatever the hell girls like you do anyways." he had then went ahead to pick up Turles and carried him on his back.

"Oh screw you! Some company without you would be great anyways!"

"Man… is she always like this?" Turtle asked.

"Meh, probably because she hasn't had any sex and is desperate for it. It might explain why she gets cranky." Ichigo snickered to himself. "Hey, Bulma, if you're actually about to meet someone to mess you up, just let me know in case you want me to be gone longer!"

"I'm not even meeting anyone you dimwit!"

"So you gonna use some Internet to watch porn? Seems reasonable to me! See ya later!" Ichigo exclaimed before he started to run off in the distance.

Bulma had started to growl under her throat as she had clenched her fists. "That rude little brat…! Who does he think he is, insulting me like that?! As if I would ever fall low for something like that!" she had then huffed her arms. "Let's see what would happen if I ditched him with the Dragon Balls at my hands!"

Bulma then looked over and she saw a very large dinosaur that easing held the size of a building, and along that a massive pterodactyl that was casually flying around… close to where she was…

"...On second thought…"

"Wait up a damn minute! Hold up!" Bulma had yelled out as she had now been driving on a motorcycle.

This seemed to have gotten Ichigo's attention as he had stopped running on the road and waited for Bulma's motorcycle to get to him. "I see that you've gotten bored quickly haven't you?" Ichigo blankly said.

"Oh shut it! Let's just get this over with so we can go back what we were doing before!"

With that said and done, Ichigo and Bulma had continued on to help Turtle find his way back to the ocean. Most of the journey on there had been running smoothly, save for one obstacle that had gotten in their way that was a bear-sized bandit that had wanted to eat the Sea Turtle, but Ichigo had refused to do this, and as such a fight had started; to which Ichigo had won with minimal ease on his part and the others have continued onwards.

It wasn't until a few more minutes where Ichigo's eyebrow raised as he had noticed more trees around them. They had went in further, and it wasn't until that they could finally see a beach with the blue waves of the ocean shown. "Hey, I think this should be the place, right?" Ichigo had asked.

"Oh yes! It is!" Turtle had cheerfully exclaimed, a large shown on his face as he could familiarize the water he went it before. "Thank you so very much!" he had thanked mainly Ichigo, who had let him go.

"No problem, I'm mainly glad to help out. So I guess you can go back where you came from."

"Oh, wait! If it's not too much trouble, could you please wait here for a minute?" Turtle had asked. "I wanna return the favor that you owed me with." he had started to get back in the ocean and started swimming there.

"It's not a buried treasure by any chance, is it?" Bulma had asked, but it seemed a little late as Turtle had already sunk off into the ocean. "He could have answered at least…"

Ichigo had started to stare into the said ocean before he took on footsteps towards it, and he started running before he jumped in the air and dived in to where it was a little more deeper. He felt the cold water shivering on his entire body, and along that he was completely wet which was the least of the young boy's worries at the moment. 'Ok… maybe this could get to calm me down.' he thought to himself, as he had closed his eyes and tried to have the cold water take over his twitching nerves that can't stop bugging him.

"Aw man…" Bulma scratched her head. "I probably should have at least brought my swimsuit with me." she said, not really seeing the deal of why Ichigo suddenly jumped there.

The two of them had continued to wait for some time now. With Bulma doing whatever she could on the beach to pass the time, and meanwhile Ichigo had continued his swimming in the ocean as he was focusing on calming his mind.

Bulma had sighed. "Man, I wish that he could come back already. I'm starting to think that he was scamming us." she said, as she had a tree branch on her hand as she seemed to be drawing lines on the sand with it.

It was at that moment that Ichigo had came out of the ocean and had sighed. "I'm sure that he'll come, maybe whatever he's finding is taking longer for him to come back." he said, before he had turned around again where to his surprise he could see Turtle coming back. "Hey, there he is! And I think he's carrying someone!" he looked closer and he did a double take when he saw who he was looking at. 'Wait… is that who I think it is? No… it can't be… could it? Isn't it a little early? I thought I wouldn't meet him till more later?' he thought it confusion.

"Huh? He is?" Bulma looked to see who Turtle was carrying, but it was too far for her as only Turtle's form was barely visible to her. "How the hell can you even see things that far? I wish I had that…" It wasn't until Turtle's figure could be seen more closer and clearer that Bulma could indeed see Turtle more clearly now, and along that she could see a person was on his back. "Hey, I can see someone there!"

"Hey, Turtle!" Ichigo waved his hand. "Took ya long enough!"

"Ahoy there! Sorry I kept you waiting! I had to go get my master!" Turtle had exclaimed.

Turtle had stopped stopped swimming and had gotten back to the sand again. When he did, there was an old person who wore an orange t-shirt and pale yellow shorts, along with sunglasses that covered his eyes and a long white beard with some sandals shown on his feet. This was none other than Master Roshi himself. "Good afternoon, kids!" Roshi had hopped off the Turtle and got on the sand. "I wanna thank you for helping my Turtle get back home!" Roshi had then looked back at Turtle. "So, which one of these kids helped you?"

"It's that little boy there." Turtle pointed to Ichigo.

Roshi walked up to Ichigo. "I wanna give you a token of my appreciation for all the hard work you've done. As a result, I'll give you one of treasures. If you want to know, my name is Master Roshi, the Turtle Hermit."

Ichigo had hesitated. "I-I don't think that's really necessary—"

"Nonsense. You deserve to get something for doing me a favor like this. You can't stop me stop me for saying otherwise." Roshi had then turned around and pointed his brown staff at the sky. "Come to me, magic carpet!" he had shouted from the top of his lungs.

Ichigo blinked. "Wait, magic carpet? As in a legit magic carpet?"

"I'm having a bit of a hard time to believe that." Bulma said.

"Uh… master." Turtle got next to Master Roshi. "Don't you remember? The magic carpet was injured by the flames. It still hasn't been healed yet."

"Eh?" Roshi looked at Turtle with a surprised look. "Oh right, now that you mentioned it, it is still burned. Well, shit. Guess I'll have to use something else then." Roshi had snapped his fingers in remembrance. "Hey, I think I got just the thing! Flying Nimbus!" he had shouted again from his spot.

Bulma had merely stood with a dumbfounded expression on her face before she looked at the boy next to her. "Hey uh, Ichigo, I don't know if it's just me but I think this old man is a little…" she circled her finger around her head.

"Come on already… where is that dang cloud?!" Roshi asked in annoyance before he saw a small fluffy yellow cloud starting to fly towards him. "There it is! About time already!"

The small fluffy yellow cloud had gotten next to Roshi's side. "Kids, I want you to meet the Flying Nimbus." the old man had looked at Ichigo again. "This should be a gift to you."

"Wow…" Ichigo said, as he seemed to be in awe. He's seen the nimbus in the series, but seeing it in real life like this felt to surreal, so different as well. He couldn't really explain it properly.

"Impressive, huh? It's a magical cloud that can let you fly off to anywhere you want."

"Hold on a minute." Bulma countered. "You can't just give off something like that for free. There's some sort of catch there, isn't it?" she asked the old man suspiciously.

Roshi only seemed annoyed by this. "What catch? It can ride you to anywhere you want, the only catch here is is that you have to be pure of heart in order to ride it. Here, let me show how it's done." To prove his point, Roshi had jumped onto the the small yellow cloud so that he could stand on it, however to his shock he had only phased through it and hit his back on the ground instead. "Aaagh! My back!" he had comically yelled.

Bulma had merely laughed at this. Turtle had gotten to his master's side. "Master! Are you alright?! What happened?!" Turtle had asked as he had tried to help his master up.

Ichigo couldn't have any of the scene happening before his eyes get to him. He may not remember much what happened on the original Dragon Ball but he sure as hell did remember that the Flying Nimbus was definitely useful there before everyone learned to start flying and shoot energy beams from their hands. 'No way in hell am I passing this chance, the Nimbus is gonna be very useful to have now. I need it.' he thought to himself before he went ahead to jump on it.

To his and everyone's surprise, Ichigo had managed to be on top of the Nimbus without falling off. However when he landed on it, he had flinched in doing so. 'Nngh… what the hell? I thought this thing would be way softer. It feels like I'm standing on a rock!' he thought as he gritted his teeth in annoyance. 'What is with this thing?!'

"Well, this is a bit insulting…" Roshi had mumbled to himself. "Well, go on then! Give it a try!" he encouraged Ichigo.

"R-Right…" Ichigo nodded his head as he looked at the cloud beneath his feet. "Well… let's fly I guess?" the Nimbus had then immediately did so. "Wooaaaaah!" Ichigo had widened his eyes in surprise when it had started flying. But something felt wrong. His footing felt like he was about to slip off at any second. "What the hell?!" Ichigo had his hands onto the cloud so that he could get his grip together so he couldn't fall off. "What's with this thing?!" Ichigo had asked. What was wrong with this thing? It felt like he didn't have much control over it at all.

Ichigo had then lost his grip when the Nimbus flipped in the air. He yelled out as he started to fall down in the air. He looked as though that he was gonna hit the ocean but the Nimbus came back at the last second and carried him back in the beach before the Nimbus hopped Ichigo out of it. "Mmgh!" Ichigo muffled as he hit his face onto the sand.

"Huh…" Roshi scratched his bald head in confusion. "Well... I haven't seen something like this before. It's almost as though the Nimbus doesn't seem to like you much."

Ichigo wiped the sand on his face and glared back at the Nimbus. "I think I noticed that!" he exclaimed in annoyance.

"Alright, alright, just calm down. Since you seem to have some trouble with the Nimbus, I think I could give you the magic carpet when I fix it. So you wanna keep the Nimbus?" Roshi asked.

Ichigo had taken a deep breath so that he wouldn't say something brash. 'Keep it fucking together!' he thought. "Y-Yeah... I'll keep it. I guess I need to take a while to get used to it." he said.

Roshi nodded his head. "I'll see what I can do." he had then looked back at Bulma. "Say, did this one help you out as well?" he asked Turtle.

Turtle had shook his head negatively. "Nuh-uh. This one didn't help one bit.".

"Hey!"

"Hmmm…" Roshi had stroked his beard in wonder. "Not really sure what I should give you though…"

Bulma put her hands together. "Oh come on! I'll do anything to get something!" she pleaded.

This seemed to have peeked Roshi's interest. "Anything?"

"Anything!"

Roshi had started to gain a mischievous grin on his face. "Ehehe… well in that case, you could perhaps… show me your panties!" he had exclaimed as there was some bleeding shown on his face.

Bulma looked at the old man with a bewildered look. "Eh?! My panties?!"

"Master! How could you say something like that?!" Turtle looked at Roshi with a scolding look. "You're no Turtle Hermit at all!"

"Oh shush! Even old masters need a break every once in a while!"

"Hmph! Now I'm starting to see why you're not able to ride the Nimbus cloud anymore…"

"Silence!"

Bulma had groaned somewhat as she had held her lower nightgown. "I can't believe I'm about to do this… but if it gets me a reward then it should be worth it." she had taken a deep breath, summoning all the courage she had to do something like this. "Ta-da!" Bulma had lifted her nightgown enough where her panties could be fully revealed.

Roshi and Turtle had their eyes cartoonishly bulge out of the display the display they've seen. It wasn't until that Bulma had put her nightgown down that they've stopped. "T-There… was that enough?" she asked, as her face had blushed from the embarrassment she had to perform.

"Ho-Ho, you bet it was!" Roshi was on the verge of having a wild grin stoop on his old face.

"Ugh, unbelievable…" Ichigo had rolled his eyes out at the old man's perverted antics. He should have known he would do something like this. Though seeing it in front didn't bother him nearly as much as he thought it would have. Which was a bit odd for him.

"S-So… do I get a present of my own now?" Bulma asked.

Roshi had stopped grinning as he had just remembered the present he had give out. "The present? Oh uhm, right! Erm… let's see here…" he put his fingers on his chin. 'Now what could I give her? There's only one flying Nimbus as far as I'm aware. Maybe I could… no, she might not like that. Maybe… oh man, she's gonna get real mad if I don't think of something soon.'

Bulma looked down to just notice a necklace that was hanging onto the old man's neck. But to her shock, she noticed a familiar bright ball on it. "Wait, nevermind! I think I know what I want now!" she exclaimed cheerfully.

"Huh? You do?"

"That thing around your neck! What is it?"

"Huh? You mean this thing?" Roshi picked up his collar in confusion, not really understanding why she wanted this thing. "I just found it at the bottom of the sea over a 100 years ago. I'm not really sure why you would want it though…"

Roshi have it to Bulma, who had giggled as she confirmed that it was a Dragon Ball that she had with her now, a 3-star ball ball to be more precise. "Hey, Ichigo! Look at this! It's a 3-star Dragon Ball!" she told him.

"Alright!" Ichigo leaped next to Bulma's side. "I think that's about 3 that we have now?"

"4 actually. It's just 3 more, and it's wishing time!"

"Wait, hold on just a second. Wishing?" Roshi scratched his head as he seemed completely confused what they were saying. "You mean to tell me that that thing can grant wishes?"

"Thank you so much for this!"

"Hang on! I never said you could have it!" Roshi exclaimed. 'If this thing is as worth as these kids say it is, maybe I could sell it for a fortune…'

"Aw, come on! You said I could have something as a gift! So can't I have this? Say, how about a few more peaks to change your mind?" Bulma had flashed her nightgown a few more times for Roshi to see her panties.

The old man had his nose bleeding again before he had a napkin on his face to cover it up. "Agh, alright! You can have it! You can have it!"

"Yaaay!" Bulma jumped from the burst of happiness. "Thank you so much for this!"

"See? I told you that helping out the turtle wouldn't be so bad now would it?" Ichigo said, as he was sitting on the Nimbus cloud while it was riding, while Bulma was riding on the road with her motorcycle.

"Yeah, yeah, I admit you were right." Bulma rolled her eyes. "But that could have been a total coincidence, and only luck on our part."

"Meh, I guess so. Let's just be glad we got it and move on." Ichigo grumpily remarked.

"Alright, let me just get myself my clothes and I'll be done."

"Fine." Ichigo rolled his eyes as he felt annoyance itching onto him again. He bit his tongue to let it go of him. 'Well I have Nimbus on my side now, though the thing doesn't really feel comfortable to be at. But I'll bear with it for now.' he thought to himself.

The two individuals have made it back to the capsule house as to where they have been to before. "I think we should take your flying Nimbus. We should be able to make it more faster, since the next Dragon Ball is located somewhere in the West." Bulma said, as she got off of the motorcycle.

Ichigo gave her a quizzical look. "Didn't that old pervert say that you have to be pure of heart to ride this thing."

"Oh please! I'm one of the most purest people you could meet!"

"Suuuure…" Ichigo had hopped off the cloud. "Give it a try then."

Bulma had huffed before she went ahead to jump onto the Nimbus, however she had only phased right through it instead and hit the ground. "Oooow!" she groaned as she had gotten to her knees. "Why?! Is it wrong in being too beautiful?!" she had whined.

Ichigo had merely rolled his eyes. "Oh just stop whining and get on the damn motorcycle."

For the next 3 days, Ichigo and Bulma have travelled to the West as it was bringing them closer to the fifth Dragon Ball they seeked. Along that they finally managed to find a village there.

"About time we made it here." Ichigo said, in annoyance. "We would have made it here more faster if it wasn't for your slow motorcycle."

"Oh shut up! It's not my fault that your speed is against law itself!" Bulma argued for a bit before she looked around and saw that nobody was there. "Say… where is everyone? This place looks like it's deserted." she pointed out. "Is anyone even here?"

Ichigo looked around with a scowl placed under him. 'No… that can't be the case. Something isn't right.' he closed his eyes and tried to focus where were everyone. To his surprise there were loads of them in this place. 'What the hell? There are a lot of people here.' he thought as he opened his eyes. "Actually, you might be wrong. There are definitely people here. I can sense them."

"Wait, sense them? How can you even do that?"

"It's a… it's something I kinda know doing. There are definitely people here that's for sure. But why they aren't coming out is confusing…" Ichigo said, as he looked his head around. "Guess we should ask." he walked towards the closest door to him that had the words "Shirman Priest" written on them. "Hey! I know someone is in this house! Could you come out so we can have answers?!" he asked as he knocked on the door.

There was no answer.

Ichigo could feel the irritation starting to grow back onto him. "Hey! Open up already! I know someone's in there!" he knocked on the door a little harder to be heard.

Again, no answer whatsoever.

Ichigo was starting to become extremely irritated by this. "That's it! If you won't open this door then I'll fucking do it!" he exclaimed with anger before he went ahead to kick the door down with his foot. Ichigo grit his teeth as he started to go inside.

"Geez, you really have a temper don't you…" Bulma scratched her head at the reckless behavior the younger boy was displaying.

Ichigo got inside and saw that it was completely dark in here. He looked around to see if he could see anybody, and to his shock he saw a man yelling in the air as he jumped down at him as he looked like he held an axe with his hands before the man swung it down with full force. The axe had gotten to Ichigo's head, but instead of cutting him like it would to any normal person, the axe had only broke to pieces when it came to contact with the boy's head.

Ichigo could hear Bulma shrieking from the shock of what she had just seen. Along that the boy heard the man that struck saying something that he failed, but Ichigo could feel his anger rising again as he grabbed the man by his shirt and pulled him down to his level. "Do you mind explaining yourself on what the fuck did you just do?!" he yelled straight at his face.

The Sherman had clapped his hands together as he had tried to bow his head. "Wait! Please, mr. Oolong! I-I didn't really know you were coming so soon! If it's money and food you want I'll give you everything! Just please spare my daughter!" the man had pleaded.

Ichigo had raised his eyebrows in confusion from this as his anger was starting to dwindle. "Wait... Oolong?" he said, confusion being noticable in his tone. 'What the hell? Isn't Oolong supposed to be a pig? Why would he think that I'm… wait…' he thought. "Hang on, I think you must mistake me for someone else. I'm not really Oolong."

"...Eh? You mean you're not Oolong?"

This was where all of the villagers have gathered around the Sherman's house to see what the commotion was about. Ichigo gave him a blank stare. "I'm a boy who's wearing a blue gi. Do I look anything like Oolong in the first place?" he said.

"My apologies! I thought that you were one of the transformations!"

Ichigo let go of his shirt. At this point the lights have already been turned on by the Sherman's daughter, but he paid no attention to that. "You're damn lucky that my training made me durable to make your stupid axe break. It still friggin hurt." Ichigo said, with annoyance.

"I'm really sorry!"

"So…" Bulma had stepped in the house. "Who exactly is this Oolong anyways?"

"You mean you don't know? Oolong is a fearsome shape shifting monster that resides in this area!" the Sherman's daughter had hugged her father out of the fear she felt from. "No-one really knows what he actually looks like. In truth, he had just came by yesterday to our village in the shape of an oni and demanded by daughter, Pokowata, as his bride. We only have about till an hour till he returns here again." Sherman explained. "He's already kidnapped 3 girls here."

Ichigo had processed all of the information in his head. His face had remained blank as it didn't show emotions, but his fists were clenching themselves. "So… he's been doing all that, huh?" Ichigo couldn't help but feel disgusted by what he just heard. 'What the fuck… he's kidnapping little girls and wants to marry them?! What the hell! How did Oolong even join with Goku and the others later on?!' he thought. "Guess I'll just have to beat him myself." Something felt odd. He wanted to go out, find Oolong, and beat the crap out of him, but some piece of his mind told him not to do that.

Though villagers seemed shocked by this. "Have you been listening to anything I've been saying, boy? Oolong can change to anything he wants! He could turn to some giant and could squash you like a bug!" the Sherman exclaimed.

Ichigo merely grunted. "Whatever, that doesn't mean much to me anyways. You're mistaking me for a regular human if I wasn't able to withstand your axe earlier."

The villagers seemed hesitant. This was where Bulma had stepped in as she had reached under her backpack to pull a 3-star Dragon Ball to show in front of all. "Say, I have an idea… have any of you seen a ball that matches like this one?" she asked.

Sherman had taken a look at the ball. "Hmmm… well it does look very beautiful, but I've never seen anything like this. In fact this is the first time I've ever seen it." he said.

"Wait, I have a ball that matches that one!" an elderly woman had stepped in front. "It was something that my own grandmother had gave to me when I was a little girl." the old lady had said, as she had held a 6-star Dragon Ball.

"That's great!" Bulma cheerfully exclaimed. "So how about we make a deal? If we get rid of this Oolong, you give us that Dragon Ball." she offered.

The old woman had blinked her eyes, as she seemed hesitant to accept this. "Listen to me, young lady, I may be old but I am not gullible. How can I truly be sure you can defeat such a frightening foe, that seems too much of a job to do." she said.

Bulma puffed her chest. "Oh, you won't have to worry about that. This little kid besides me is gonna be the one to take down this Oolong." she pointed her finger to Ichigo. "He may look puny but he really packs a punch. And I'm the brains behind it!"

Ichigo looked up to give the teenage girl a questioning look.

"But wait, hold on—" Sherman had intervened. "—Wouldn't you need some kind of plan on your side? Even if you somehow beat Oolong, we still wouldn't know where the other girls are being held at."

Bulma had put her fingers under her chin. "Let's see… since Oolong is looking for your daughter, I was thinking to use as a bait but that might not work well. So we'll have to improvise. Hang on…" she slowly turned her head to look down at Ichigo before looking back at Sherman's daughter. "You think you could let us borrow some other clothes you have?"

"Huh?" Ichigo looked confused by this. "Why would you ask that?"

Ichigo saw Bulma giving a smirk at him. He didn't like that one bit. "I think that it should be about time that you change some clothes, don't you think?" she had said.

Ichigo widened his eyes before he furiously waved his arms in a cross, realizing what she meant. "Oh… HELL NO! If you're thinking of having me dress up as a girl, then you can forget about it! There is no way I'm doing that!" he exclaimed in refusal.

"Come on, we'll need to trick this guy somehow to make him think you're Pokowata. So that way you can get to find out where the other girls are."

"I think I have a better idea." Ichigo scowled as he folded his arms. "How about if I just challenge this guy one-on-one, and when I beat him I make him tell me where the others are."

"Doesn't that seem too straightforward?"

"Whatever." Ichigo cracked his knuckles. "It worked before multiple times with me, and I'm pretty confident I can beat him."

An hour had passed by in a mere blink of an eye. Ichigo was seen sitting on the roof of a small house with eyes closed, his hands folded and his legs crossed together as well. That wasn't until he heard loud thunderous footsteps that he could feel the whole ground of the village shaking made him open his eyes.

"Well, guess that's my cue." Ichigo murmured to himself as he got up, preparing to face the battle ahead of him as he hopped onto the ground.

"Hey, kid, you sure you got this?" Bulma asked as she was outside while the rest were running to their homes and locking themselves.

"Aren't you gonna help out as well?" Ichigo went ahead to take out his Power Pole. "Aren't you supposed to be the brains of the situation?"

Bulma merely hid herself on Sherman's door where only her eye could be seen through the hole he had broke earlier. "Don't worry, I'll be here rooting for ya." she told him.

"Gee, thanks a lot…" Ichigo rolled his eyes at this. He then looked up to see a large red oni in a white tuxedo suit holding a basket of flowers. "Hey, you!" Ichigo yelled out to make sure he had Oolong's attention.

"Hm?" the red oni had looked down and saw Ichigo on the ground holding his Power Pole, as if opposing against him. "Why, I don't think we met before. If you may excuse me, I'm actually here for a girl named Pokowata. And since I'm quite in a generous mood, I'll let you run off this time." Oolong had simply waved his hand forward in an generous attempt to spare the boy.

"Hate to break it to ya, but I'll have to cut your plans short. I'm here to stop you!" Ichigo exclaimed.

The oni seemed generally surprised by this, as if he hadn't expected anything like that at all. But that was until he burst out laughing. "Hahahahaha! You?! Stop me?! That's a good laugh you made me pull, kid!" he had held his large hand over his knee as he continued to laugh. "I gotta hand it to ya, you might become a good comedian someday! However, I'm a bit on a tight schedule here, so if you can move out of the way that would be great."

"And just who said I'll do that?" Ichigo made a glare at the monster.

The monster looked down again, with surprise written all over his face. "Wait, you're actually serious? Hah! Fool! Don't you know who I am?! I am Oolong the Terrible! I wreak upon havoc—"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Can we just skip the part of you monologuing and just get on with the fighting? I am not in the mood to listen to this shit." Ichigo grumbled in annoyance again, while feeling the grip on his pole was tighter than before.

Oolong looked down yet again with an insulted look on his face. "You dare to interrupt me! I can't fight dirty with these clothes! So I'll have to change into something more fearsome!" there was a large poof of pink smoke that surrounded the oni before it cleared up. When it did, there was a large monstrous bull there instead. "Alright there, monkey boy, this is your last chance to apologize! Because when I get mad, I get really strong as well!" he threatened.

"Guess I'll have to stop you in this form then. Let's see what you got… "

Oolong started to sweat from his face. What in the world was wrong with this kid? Did he know what he was even up against here? ''I'm serious, kid! This is your last chance!" Oolong warned the orange haired boy. If this kid really knew how to fight then he was in some huge trouble. He had to keep up his bluff here or else he would — hang on — how much time has passed?

Oolong looked over to see a clock next to him, and to his shock he only had about 6 seconds left before his time was over. "Uhh… shit! Hang on, I will be back!" he had yelled before he turned around and started running away.

Ichigo was having none of this. "Oh no you fucking won't! Get the hell back here!" he started running after the bull himself. The Saiyan boy had seen the massive bull escape through the open gates and went to the right side. 6 seconds have passed now as Ichigo himself had exited through the gates before he saw brief outing of pink smoke clearing by.

Ichigo didn't think he could be any more annoyed then he was right now. What he was looking wasn't the same bull he chased a few seconds ago, but instead it was some humanoid pig creature with a soldier uniform as he seemed to be whistling innocently. "Alright, game's over." Ichigo said, as he begun to approach Oolong's true form.

Oolong had looked at the boy, as he tried to pretend to be innocent. "Hey, I don't know what you're talking about, kid." he remarked blankly.

Ichigo had growled under his throat as he had grabbed Oolong by his outfit and picked him up in the air. "Don't mess around with me! I am not in the mood to deal with this! Do you honestly think that you could fool me that easily?!" he saw Oolong quivering as he gave off a glare right at him. "There's no way a bull that big would just disappear that easily! And now here you are, acting as if there wasn't a bull that passed by here! You expect to fall for that?!"

Oolong put his hands in front. "Alright! Alright! You got me!" he exclaimed as he sweated in nervousness. He really wanted to get the hell out of here, but his cooldown of transformation only lasted a minute and that hasn't passed. Plus this kid looked scary as well. "What do you want from me?!" he asked.

"Simple… you're going back on that village, and tell us where the kidnapped girls are, you never come back again, and don't bother anyone again."

"What?!"

"You heard me damn straight!" Ichigo had then started to drag out Oolong with him as he had gotten inside the village again. "Alright everyone! There's nothing need to worry about anymore! I've already discovered the real identity of this disgusting creep!" he had shouted as loud as he could for villagers to hear him.

And whoala, it had worked as most of the villagers have gathered around and got together in a circle. They seem to be in absolute disbelief from seeing the monster they feared was just nothing more than a human pig.

"I can't believe this…"

"He was a pig this whole time?"

"I'm so shocked right now that I can't even be angry…"

"Now talk…" Ichigo brought his like against the back of Oolong's head. "Where did you hide the girls?"

"Alright, I'll show you!" Oolong already submitted. "I promise you the girls are safe! Just follow me…"

And so, Oolong had walked in footsteps while everyone else was following him. Oolong had turned his eyes from behind to see if he could somehow get away instead. But with Ichigo's pole pressed against the back of his head he wasn't really sure how to. "If you're even thinking about getting out of here, I'm going to squash you like a bug. You got that?" Ichigo had threatened, which Oolong had nervously nodded his head and continued to walk ahead.

"So, where even is this place of yours anyways?" Bulma had asked from behind.

"We just made it." Oolong had stopped walking and so did everyone else. When that happened almost everyone seemed shocked that the place they stopped at seemed like a palace. "This is my home!"

"Wow… you don't see houses like this every day." Bulma whistled, as she seemed quite impressed by the structure of the palace, and the fact that this pig somehow lives here.

Ichigo found this a little suspicious. "Hang on, how the hell were you able to afford a place like this?" he asked.

"I just only stole it from other people, and built this brick by brick!" Oolong had bragged.

Ichigo gave the pig a blank look. "Are you serious right now…"

Before Oolong could answer anything, some of the villagers started sprinting to the stairs to search for their daughters. Ichigo and Bulma had followed them to make sure they didn't lose sight. They had stopped when they stopped to some dining room. To their surprise, there were 3 girls there that seemed to be living here luxuriously, as if they have been spoiled here.

Ichigo was stunned by this. "Wait… you mean to tell me that they were fine this whole time?" he said, in confusion as he scratched his head. Did something like this actually happen in the show? He cleverly didn't remember this happening at all.

Oolong had sighed. "I've been trying to find an obedient girl so that they could help me with my house chores. I mean, seriously, this place is huge for one pig! In fact I was considering to have you take them back anyways, these girls are just lazing around and costing me a fortune to buy stuff! I'm begging you, just take them back!" he pleaded.

"This has been one strange day…" the elderly woman from earlier had said, before looking next to Bulma. "Young lady, I think this belongs to you now. A deal was a deal." she had presented the 6-star Dragon Ball to Bulma.

"Alright! Thank you so much for this!" Bulma exclaimed in gratitude before she took it onto her hands. 'This is great! Just 2 more balls left and I'll be able to make my wish!' she thought to herself as she had smiled.

"This is going really great! This search for the Dragon Balls is going way faster than I expected it to be! We only have 2 more left to find!" Bulma exclaimed, as she, Ichigo, and Oolong were riding on a boat in the middle of a river.

"Can you explain to me why did we bring this guy here?" Ichigo asked on the backseat as he pointed Oolong with his thumb next to him.

"That's what I wanna know! I didn't even wanna be here in the first place!" Oolong answered in annoyance as he folded his arms.

"Are you kidding? That shape shifting ability of yours could really come in handy on the journey." Bulma had shortly explained.

"Journey?! Oh hell no! I'm not gonna join on some stupid adventure!" Oolong had furiously refused. "You can forget it!"

Bulma had hummed to herself. "You know… it is gonna be pretty hot tonight. I might only sleep on my panties." she said, hoping this would provoke him to stay in.

This seemed to have changed Oolong's mind immediately as he started to grin. "On second thought… maybe a journey doesn't sound so bad."

'Oh brother…' Ichigo rolled his eyes. 'Now we have a pervert on our side. Although… correct me if I'm wrong but I think we might need him. Wasn't he needed to make some panty wish from some blue elf? I guess we could keep him… for now at least.' he thought as the adventures of the trio have continued onwards.

Well, here's another chapter for you guys. Sorry but I kinda have other stories to do as well so this might come out every once a month or less. But let me know what you thought of this chapter so far.

And also, I decided to go with calling him Ichigo in this, for now at least. Since it seems more reasonable and fitting of his current situation. I think I could still use the name Karna for him but I'm trying to figure out when that might happen.
