Chapter 5: Unappreciated Gesture

Dark… it was dark that's all Piccolo could see he felt nothingness his mind was raging with thought the bear, the thundering noise, Bongo & the long object in the tall figures hand. What does it all mean?… then Piccolo felt anger for letting the bear escape for injuring him and having the last laugh.

Piccolo eyelids flickered open to see a ceiling above him it was an off-white color it did not look like it had been painted in a long time this turned his attention to the walls also the same color, looking around he recognized that he was in a bedroom a HUMANS bedroom. This infuriated Piccolo he had been found by humans he tried to rise out of the bed but winced through his teeth at the pain in his torso, looking down he remembered the wound from the bear it had been dressed in bandages.

Now Piccolo was confused

* Why would humans try to heel me, I do not need assistant from any weak excuses for a living creature*

Piccolo relived the attack what did he do wrong to let that bear get the advantage he lay his head back down on the pillow then remembered something

*Bongo?*

Abruptly sitting back up he looked around the room there was no sign of his sibling anywhere, then he heard footsteps approaching from the door across the room, not being one to trust humans whom treated him like he was a disease.

He jumped from the bed to the floor landing perfectly on his feet not without making his midsection hurt yet again, the footsteps grew louder Piccolos shoulders tensed he would be ready for whatever came through that door he held up his hands in front of him forming a ki blast holding it and waiting for the right moment.

The footsteps stopped the round doorknob began turning one foot at a time entered a figure, the figure eyes widened when she saw Piccolo out of the bed and holding a ki blast out in front of him, she gasped dropping the clean sheets she held in the crook of one arm.

Piccolo eyed the woman she was of average height Dark brown hair with blue eyes and wearing a jumper with pants, Piccolo slowly lowered the ki blast eyeing the woman she was no threat not worth wasting energy on.

"Ohh my I did not expect to find you awake, you were quite seriously hurt"

The woman explained with relief in her voice but still full of caution.

"Who are you & why did you bring me here"

Piccolo demanded in an intimidating glare he stared into the woman's clear blue eyes clenching his fists.

"I myself did not bring you here, my husband found you injured in the woods"

She took a step forward and smiled.

Piccolo adopted a defensive stance showing his small fangs

"STAY BACK, answer all my questions or I will blast you"

The woman now realized he was very unhappy and perhaps frightened of waking up in a strange place she thought to assure him that everything would be all right but then remembers his companion.

"Your friend is fine he is in the lounge, would you like to see him?"

The woman smiled yet again gesturing her hand toward the door with a peaceful attitude she was not like any human Piccolo had ever met, she was not chasseing him away with guns or sticks she was being kind.

Piccolo dropped his stance for what seemed like several minutes he stared at the door.

"Hmph"

Piccolo snorted crossing his arms he walked toward the door stopping just before he passed the woman and glanced up at her. With hesitation he asked

"Where is that?"

Not removing his gaze he waited for a response.

"Oh forgive me, I will lead the way"

The woman gently walked by Piccolo and began walking down a long hallway toward the lounge.

Piccolo watched as she brushed past him with suspicion he still did not understand why these humans were helping him, he really did not care he was focused on the more important things. He followed the woman down the hall it was dark but everything was visible, gradually it became brighter they reached the end.

The woman moved to the side giving Piccolo view of the lounge it was not very large but had the same off-white walls as the bedroom with light brown carpet, there in the middle of the room sat Bongo hunched over a baby crib attentively watching the small form sleep.

"What do you think you are doing?"

Piccolo snarled to his brother whom jumped clear out of his skin from the sudden interruption he saw Piccolo and shuddered.

"Um…nothing how was your recovery?"

Bongo neatened his gi looking at his elder brother and sensei.

"Fine, now lets go"

With that Piccolo headed for the front door but was interrupted by more than one voice.

"But you are not well enough young one, please stay until you recover fully"

The woman said as she walked up to Piccolo

"Yes sensei please Adam and Vella have been really generous in helping us out"

Bongo pleaded to his brother to stay a little longer he had enjoyed the couples kindness and had hoped to remained for a while.

"We have business to go about I will not waist my time around insignificant humans"

With that Piccolo turned and walked out the door leaving a bewildered Vella and a disappointed Bongo.

"I am sorry, but I would still like to stay"

Bongo smiled up to Vella revealing his tiny white fangs; in return Vella smiled kneeling done to eye level with Bongo.

"Ofcourse you can stay if you like, but what about your friend?"

Vella enquired to the little namek then looking out the door to Piccolo whom had stopped a few meters away no doubt waiting for Bongo

"He is my brother, I'll try to get him to stay I mean its about time we stopped for a while all we to is travel I am getting tired of it"

Bongo said sighing hoping he could find a reason to talk Piccolo into staying.

Piccolo waited his eyes closed in meditation, he sensed his brothers unhappiness at leaving and would not want to have to hear his complaining on the long journey to destroying Goku, he quickly reached a decision to stay a little while if not to use what possible recourses these pathetic humans could provide. Suddenly hearing heavy footsteps approaching him he swung around and into his stance, there stood the tall lean figure from the bear attack still holding the long object in his hand but now Piccolo could see it was a rifle.

"Well, your awake tough guy, have a good sleep"

The man also wearing a jumper and pants along with some heavy hiking boots with black hair and brown eyes kneeled done to eye level with Piccolo using his rifle for support.

"Why should you care?"

Piccolo stated firmly still in his stance, eyeing the man.

"No Piccolo" Bongo came running from inside the house with Vella not far behind.

"He saved us from the bear we owe him a lot"

Piccolo looked to Bongo then to Vella and back to the man in front of him, he dropped his stance and crossed his arms over his chest.

"I owe no-one anything" Coldly stated by Piccolo then he continued

"But I think we will stay in the area it may work to our advantage"

Piccolo then glanced at the two humans before him and back to Bongo.

"Don't expect me to share a residence with any humans though, you do whatever you want"

Piccolo would never let himself be dependant on people no matter what, his mind was made up he would stay so he could train Bongo then when the training was complete they would set out on their journey to destroy Goku and rule the world.

"Seriously we can stay Piccolo"

Bongos eyes widened in joy he really did enjoy staying with these humans even though it had been only a few hours in their company.

Finally Adam and Vella were happy to hear the news that the two young nameks would stay it was fairly lonely in the forest they really would appreciate the company.

Before long they managed to coax Piccolo into the house after brief introductions they were in the lounge, Piccolo leaned against the wall staring out the window while Adam and Vella doted their baby on the couch. The sounds made Piccolo cringe he could not stand the emotion.

After the baby was once again placed in its crib, Bongo was once again sitting above the crib watching the baby he was curious never had he seen a baby human before, it did not seem that they could grow into a human the size of Adam and Vella. Bongo was finally yawning he opted to sleep outside he was very used to it and preferred it that way he left the room taking one last glance at Piccolo leaning up against the wall and left the room.

Piccolo watched as Bongo left out the corner of his eye, once out of the room Piccolo made his way over to the crib where the baby was sleeping he glanced at the defenseless before him with no emotion. Such a weak being was not worth wasting time with in his mind.

Suddenly the infant's eyes slowly opened and looked into Piccolos large black eyes, Piccolo in turn stared back at the enormous brown eyes before him. He watched a few moments longer.

"Hmph"

Snorted Piccolo with that he walked away leaving the house and meditating outside among the trees in his usual lotus position he had rematerialized his torn purple gi and blue belt

*That was weird how did that kid know I was there I didn't make a sound, I don't like it*

Shaking off the thought Piccolo once again began to meditate…
