Chapter 17: Like family.

"Well that was weird, what do you guys think?

Krillin faced Gohan and Goku who had equally as dubious expressions on their faces.

"Ahh, have no idea!"

Gohan answered lifting an eyebrow at his sensei's behavior, Goku on the other hand was sure of the reason…his brother… the feeling of seeing a brother again after all these years must be an enigma.

Piccolo not being one of sentimental worth wound handle the situation oddly in Goku's opinion, but if Piccolo permitted Goku would be happy to help him through it.

Vegeta was waiting in the air for the rest of the group he was tired of waiting so he spoke up.

"Hello…do we have a death wish or is the namek still sobbing over his burnt garment?"

Piccolo growled loudly staring down Vegeta from the ground before rising up to the sky, he was to controlled to let the Saijin prices taunting get the better of him.

Ignoring Vegeta Piccolo ordered the group to follow him their journey was partially over but the flight ahead would be a quite one…he hoped.

Whilst flying the group separated flying apart certain distances from each other, Gohan was close to Krillin Vegeta was far off on his own he had no interest in conversation, but Goku decided this was a good time to speak to Piccolo.

Goku flew up on Piccolos right, the namek made no indication he was aware of Goku's present.

"What is it now Son?"

Piccolo averted his eyes from Goku he did not want the subject of his brother to be resurfaced.

"You will have to talk about it some time Piccolo, now tell me what happened between the two of you.?"

Goku waited he also averted his eyes ahead giving Piccolo the time he needed to sum up all the events of the past, Piccolo could always avoid giving an answer but he could never lie or make one up.

"Its a long story!"

"We have plenty of time!"

Piccolo finally faced Goku and knew he had no choice he would eventually find out one way or the other. Best from him than anyone else.

"He and I did not see eye to eye on a certain situation"

Goku listened to the first sentence from Piccolos mouth and was overwhelmed with questions, but he gave he warrior the benefit of the doubt.

"What was that?"

"I had a goal that I had set out to achieve he was to help me out in this goal, but once he learned of the procedure he disagreed and we had a unpleasant fallout that ended in I leaving and he having a vivid new memory"

Goku pondered what he had just heard, he decided not to pry any further that was enough for now, it would eventually be revealed when the time is right.

"Master this is slit, we have eliminated the non worthwhile targets the ones that were worthwhile however were spared"

Slit spoke into the communication in his pod, the evil pair had just departed from earth and were on their way.

"Ahh good, do they have knowledge of our intension slit?"

"Yes sir I gave them on year which is how long it will take us to get home and return with you my lord"

Tempo smirked his eyes becoming slits the pleasure of destroying Goku was positive tingling.

"Good, we shall all leave as soon as you return, do not waste time!"

"Yes Sir"

Slit turned off the communicator leaning back for the 6 months journey ahead.

**************************************************************** ***

The Z fighters led by Piccolo had flown until dusk they were once again exhausted but refrained from arguments of waiting more energy.

Vegeta was the first to bed down his training that morning and surprise attack on Piccolo had worn him down.

Piccolo was observing the surrounding trees and regions, they were familiar.

*Hmmm, black pines we are closer than I anticipated*

Piccolo had thought it would take a few more days to reach the prairie surrounded homestead, but he now realized they could arrive by midday tomorrow.

Piccolo leaned down picking up a handful of dry pine needles; the sent was strong to his nostrils and equally as strong to his conscious.

He dropped the needles, after one of them pricked him not for the pain, there was none but for the familiarity.

**********************FLASHBACK*****************************

"AHHhh, don't throw those they hurt"

Bongo clung the spot on his face where Piccolo had pushed him into a black pine.

Piccolo frowned

"If you are going to let a oversized twig hurt, then this will be merciless…."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh…."

Bongo yelped loudly from the pain and impact.

*********************END FLASHBACK*************************

"What ya' got there Piccolo?"

Piccolo herd the young half Saijin turning to meet him he quickly disposed on the remaining pine needles.

"Nothing, what is it Gohan"

Piccolo crossed his arms after getting up off the ground staring down at the young buy before him.

"Oh nothing just came to say hi"

Piccolo could not help but smirk he felt content knowing Gohan was close by he was the closest thing Piccolo had to family…………

"You know Piccolo it's really nice of your friend to help us"

Gohan sat on the ground near Piccolos feet fiddling with a twig.

Piccolo stiffened at Gohan words, Goku had not told his son that the great demon king had a brother, he was thankful Son may be a fool at times but he knows when something is important to keep his moth shut.

"I didn't say he would, I said he might"

Piccolo looked down at Gohan to find him asleep, head been thinking and not seen it happened right under his nose.

In turn a thankful Piccolo want about his business the thirst in his body was to much he needed water seeing to threat he want in search of water.

After a half hour of searching he finally found a shallow stream, Piccolo landed with a light thump he strolled casually to the stream he kneeled down cupping the water in his palm he drank slowly letting the cool liquid flow down his throat.

Piccolo finished the drink rising up he to his feet he stops, the light sound of steppes reached his sensitive ears they were close by.

He turned in every direction tactically pinpointing where the sound was emanating from he walked toward the location stopping to retrace the steppes.

His nerves were on edge it was dark even his excellent vision was of no aid there was no moon either making it even more complicated

*Could be a dear, or some other night creature*

Piccolo thought it would be a waste of time to pursue this any longer.

A faint whistling sound caught piccolos ears he swung around narrowly missing an arrow but not completely it penetrated through his right hand the point pocking out the other side.

Piccolo winced at the pain grasping the arrow breaking off each and blood flowed freely from both ends, the deep violet seeped onto the ground.

Piccolo eyes the direction the arrow had come with one swift movement he flew into the tree using his left arm karate chopped one of the main branches clean off.

It hit the ground hard pine needles in tow flew everywhere, from the air Piccolo observed the area in search of the culprit.

"You are going to pay with your soul?"

Piccolo shouted at the top of hi lungs sending a massive ki blast toward the area, the impact caused trees to bow over and bushed to go up in flames, the ground was singed from the blast.

*That felt good, now where are you pathetic coward*

Piccolo jumped from the air to the ground his hand still bled from the arrow some was still embedded in his palm, he cautiously eyes the area slowly watching every inch of the surroundings, his left ear picked up the sound of light whimpering.

Turning he found a mangled tree he walked firmly toward it wit a grin across his face.

*I am going to enjoy this*

Piccolo prepared a Ki blast with his bleeding hand.

Wasted no time he reached in with his other hand beneath the mounted up pile of bushed a blanches concealing the one responsible, his hand caught the sensation of fabric he swiftly and forcefully pulled the attacker out slamming their body to the ground.

The ki blast raised he aimed, then he stopped minimizing the ki blast to get a better observation his eyes widened slightly at what was before him…
