Author's Notes: Piccolo has become angry because of the new feelings he has
which he cannot identify. Will drastic measures be taken? Read on about
Piccolo's denial and how he deals with the Zenya situation.

Piccolo was still fuming when he arrived back at the lookout. He couldn't
believe that his friends would say stuff like that and tell him that he
liked somebody. I mean, it was absolutely absurd!

(She's leaving right now. I'll show them, I'll show them all, that I don't
like her, I don't need her and they're just wrong!) he thought angrily.

The Namek landed hard on the tiles and folded his arms snarling and furrowing
his brow deeply. He sighed and then yelled: "Zenya! Get out here, I need to
speak with you!"

The human woman came out with a look of curiosity on her face. She heard the
anger in Piccolo's voice and wondered what could possibly be wrong.

"Yes, Piccolo?" she asked softly.

"Look, I think it's safe for you to leave now. Go back to your sister and Krillin."
he said harshly.

Zenya looked taken aback at his words. "But Piccolo, why?"

"What do you mean 'why'? I see no further reason for you to stay."

"I-I thought we were....."

Piccolo growled loudly when he heard the direction she was taking. "You thought wrong."

Zenya hung her head and blushed five different shades of red in her embarrassment.
"You don't really mean that, do you Piccolo-san?" she asked meekly, still staring at the ground.

"Yes. I do." Piccolo spat bluntly. "Go. Leave." he said and gestured towards the open sky.

Zenya was fighting back tears that threatened to crash down her cheeks any second. She looked
forlornly over at Piccolo and something snapped in her mind. (That-that Monster.) she thought.

A sneer crossed Zenya's face as she prepared to berrate her Namek savior, "And you called yourself
my friend? Monster!"

Piccolo winced slightly at the word 'monster' having heard it from so many during his terrible past.
"I never said we were friends." he countered.

"So, all the time we've spent together meant nothing to you?"

Piccolo shrugged.

"I can't believe this, you really are a monster! And a freak too. I can't believe I ever even
thought I could care for you!" Zenya said angrily. "You're nothing but a outcast, someone that
nobody wants to be around, not even me........anymore. Go, go off and run and hide from the
world, Piccolo. No one wants to see your face anymore, you horrible creature!"

Piccolo's face contorted in anger as he heard the words that ripped at his heart for some strange
reason. He folded his arms tighter and looked away. "So be it, you insignificant weakling. I don't
care what happens to you anymore. Juunana-gou could come and rip you to shreds for all I care.
Get off of my lookout, and NEVER come back!!!!!" He yelled angrily.

"Have it your way, Piccolo." Zenya blurted and shook her head, "I hate that name, and I rue
the day I ever learned it. I wish I'd never met you, that you'd never saved me, it's all been
a lie! I'm leaving now, and I'm won't come back, you can mark my words."

"Good, it's about time, all you do is annoy me anyway. I never really wanted to save you, by the
way. I just felt obligated to because you were still alive. The biggest mistake I ever made."

Zenya gave him one last cold, hard stare and then flung herself off the edge of the lookout, dropping
quickly because she wasn't using her ki. She almost felt like just falling until she hit the ground
and exploded all over it. Her heart was broken. She couldn't believe that she had said all those things.
Zenya shook her head and slowly began to use her ki to propell herself foreward.
"It's time to go home." she said sadly to herself and took off for the Kame House.

Piccolo paced back and forth after she had left. For some reason he felt a twinge of remorse at the angry
words he had spoken. Where had it all come from? He was never angry for no reason. The thoughts that his
friends had put into his head made Piccolo curl his fists tightly. "NO! They're still not right! I know
that this couldn't be what the foolish humans call 'love'. From what I've seen, love doesn't hurt."

And thats what he was feeling inside; nothing but pain. He kept torturing himself and replaying the
harsh scene in his mind over and over again. (Why?) he thought (Why did I do that? Say that?)

Nail interrupted him: (You know why)

(Oh, it's YOU again. I told you, it's not like that, go away Nail, I'm in no mood to talk!)

(Come Piccolo, why would you be so upset if you didn't care for her?)

Piccolo honestly couldn't think of anything to say at this point because somehow what Nail had said made
sense. Instead, he just closed his eyes tightly and yelled. A blinding flash was seen coming from him
as he put up a mental block against any type of telepathic messages.

(That should shut him up) Piccolo thought smugly as a small smirk crossed his face. (Now, I can go do
my REAL training, without any annoying woman to pester me and make me teach her stuff. I'll leave
Dende a note.)

He hastily grabbed a pen and paper and scribbled a note to his fellow Namek so that he'd at least know
where he was. With the mental block, Dende couldn't contact him that way.

It read:

Dende baka: I've gone to train ALONE in the woods, don't come looking for me or I'll kill you.
I'll be back whenever I feel like it.

Piccolo


Piccolo snorted, wondering why he even bothered to write a stupid note. Maybe because he had a
bond with Dende. I mean, he was kind've his brother. Piccolo smacked his forehead and took
off the lookout, not looking back.

Zenya had managed to calm herself down considerably by the time she reached Kame House.
A gentle breeze was blowing as she landed quietly on the sandy beach.
She secretly hoped that no one was home, she needed some alone time.

Zenya carefully opened the door and it creaked a bit.

A voice came from the living room: "Hey 18, is that you?"

Zenya froze in her tracks: Krillin. She didn't want to see her brother-in-law. Not now.
He would never understand. Wait, maybe he would. He had felt so strongly for her sister
and Juuhachi wouldn't give him the time of day for so long. Only through time their relationship
had deepened and they got married.

"Hmmmm." Krillin's nasal voice continued pondering, "It's too quiet to be 18, she had Marron
with her. Roshi?"

Zenya decided it was useless to try and hide so she sighed loudly and said: "No, Krillin. It's me, Zenya."

"Zenya?!" Krillin cried as he ran into the room where she was and hugged her. Yup, Krillin was
quite a bit shorter than his sister-in-law. But not as tall as 18 was. The top of Krillin's head
came up to Zenya's nose-level.

"Zenya!" He cried again, "You're back! I can't believe it!"

Zenya gave a weak smile. "Believe it, brother."

Krillin saw her non-verbal signals and quickly asked: "What's wrong, what happened?"

Zenya sighed, "It's a long story, you don't want to hear it."

"Of course I do, we're friends remember?" he said and playfully nudged her.

Zenya couldn't help but smile at Krillin then, it was true. She really loved her
brother-in-law. "Well, I guess I can trust you." she sighed.

Krillin's face darkened, he thought he knew what was going on now. "It's about Piccolo,
isn't it?"

"How did you know?"

"I can see it in your eyes. You really care for him, don't you."

"Yes." Zenya said and paused for a long time. "Krillin, we, we had a fight. He told me
he wished he'd never saved my life and he didn't care about me and I said some horrible
things too. I called him a freak and a monster and I said I wished I'd never met him.
It was awful, Krillin!" Zenya choked out and began to sob on his shoulder.

"Shhhhh. It's going to be ok, Zenya." he tried to comfort her. (Man, I didn't think it was
going to get this serious.) he thought to himself. (I've got to have a talk with Piccolo)
he said to himself and gulped, knowing that it wouldn't be easy.
He stayed and comforted Zenya some more and then told her had some errands to run, but he'd
be back soon.

"Where's Master Roshi?" Zenya inquired, secretly hoping he wasn't there because she wanted
some private time to just rest and think.

"Oh, he's out visiting Bulma and the gang today. Don't worry he won't be home for a while."
Krillin answered and winked.

Zenya smiled back at him and waved as Krillin took off into the sky.
