Chapter 42: Can trust prevail?

Dawn was just beyond the horizon, but still darkness blanketed with a sparkling tapestry across the sky.

A gently warm breeze told the leaves water and animals that spring was in full bloom.

Piccolo had an hour or so earlier left Isabelle's room confirming their training session in would take place at dawn that had now begun to flicker over the trees.

Piccolo had left but he soon returned after he was sure Isabelle had gone back to sleep remaining outside close to the window floating in a lotus position waiting for the suns rays to lasers through the trees.

*Soon it will be time to begin, but first things first*

Finally the lasers rays burned through the gaps in the trees leaping to the ground Piccolo approached the back door stopping beyond the steps he crossed his arms across his chest waiting.

Moments later the door open solely still full of slumber a figure stepped out rubbing the back of his neck whilst he yawned then saw Piccolo.

Bongo eyes widened bewildered.

"What are you doing here?"

Bongo stood straight up defiantly as Piccolo began walking toward him his arms dropping by his sides.

"I need to speak with you"

Motioning him to follow Bongo did close behind his brother as he let them a few dozen feet away from the house.

They stopped Bongo now crossed his arms firmly over his chest as Piccolo turned o face him.

"What do you wish to speak to me about "?

Piccolo stepped forward firmly planting his feet in the ground.

"You have given approval for me to train your sister true?"

Bongo nodded wondering if it was a wise decision.

"Then I shall train her, but be warned she may not be able to return at the end of every session"

Bongo squinted his eyes, and then took another step closer toward Piccolo.

"And why is that, I agreed to this only if she return every night"

Piccolo growled his tips of his fangs showing over his bottom lip.

"I can not train her with all these pointless precautions, what are you afraid of?"

Bongo dropped his hands by his side, his fists clenched but he refrained from lashing out.

"What don't I have to be concerned about" Bongo leaned in closer to their faces inches apart "You are not trustworthy"

Piccolo did not flinch he gave a sideways smirk letting out a slight chuckle.

"If it were another time and place perhaps, I intend no harm toward the girl"

Bongo stepped back; a little astonished his brother's tone was calm almost sounding sincere.

"That is the reason I came to speak to you above all, to reassure you that I will not allow any harm to come to her"

Piccolo had remembered during the conversation with Isabelle hours earlier about Bongo concern for her safety, deep down he sympathized with his brother he would never let any harm come to the young woman.

"I see, well I…. appreciate your honesty Piccolo fine if necessary she may stay out some nights"

Piccolo snarled at Bongo's comment as he turning to leave.

"This agreement does not change our situation, got it"

Piccolo accented to the now morning sky their conversation had gone on long enough that the sun was already high and birds had began to welcome it.

"Yes I do brother, I do"

Bongo walked the few dozen feet back to the house giving him the time to reflect on the conversation.

---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------

Krillin and Vegeta had awoken from their deep sleep and were in the kitchen eating their fill for the days training.

Vegeta's eating habits of a Saijin had not improved even with Poetries encouragement.

Krillin looked up at the sound of someone coming down the stairs.

"Good Morning Miss Isabelle, how are you this morning"

Isabelle smiled as she rushed to pack her essentials to go and find her sensei for the first training session.

"Good Morning Krillin, Good Morning Vegeta"

Isabelle called out whilst packing some extra clothing; Vegeta huffed through a mouthful of food whilst Krillin watched Isabelle pack.

"Where are you going, taking a short trip?"

Krillin raised an eyebrow at the speed in which Isabelle prepared.

"Sort of but I will be back by tonight I have began to train with Piccolo again"

Vegeta's attention was still on his food but at the mention of Piccolos name, his eyes looked up and listened.

Krillin's jaw dropped in surprise he was about to ask when, how & why but he was interrupted.

"You might need more supplies than that Isi"

Bongo commented seeing the very few supplies his sister had packed in a beach bag.

"What ever for I will be back tonight?"

Bongo did not want her to know of he and Piccolos conversation; he felt she would see it as another intrusion on her life.

"Training will require much more than one spare set of clothing, be sure to take a few more"

Isabelle smiled unsurely but saw no harm in the suggestion she obliged packing three more sets of clothing.

Isabelle said her goodbyes and headed off for the training grounds.

Bongo watched as Isabelle walked away feeling he may have made a mistake in letting her go, he had a strange feeling there was more to it.

"I thought you didn't want her to train with Piccolo, what made you change your mind"

Poetry leaned up against her husband, he in turn placed his hand securely around her shoulder.

"I honestly don't know, perhaps I feel I did not place enough trust in her she is a young woman and must learn to make her own choices…no matter what I think"

Poetry could sense the sadness in her husband's voice, she whapped her arms around his waist tightly resting her head against his forearm.

"I am proud of you, I know it must be hard for you to trust him but perhaps he has changed"

Bongo heeded his wife's words clearly but still had a suspicion as to why Piccolo would need to reassure him, he has never been one to care about others concerns.

Vegeta had ignored their conversation as he continued eating his fill; Krillin came back to the table watching as Vegeta devoured everything in his plate.

"Gee you got enough to eat there Vegeta"

Vegeta stopped looking up at Krillin.

"Shut up baldy, you may benefit from eating more you might actually reach your bunk bed"

Krillin frowned at the insult on his height but decided to not take it any further.

---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------

Piccolo had arrived at a cave knowing that his student was now permitted to stay here after each days training he prepared accommodations.

Piccolo materialized a blanket for Isabelle it was an exact copy of the lace one that saw spread over her bed, he had remembered in detail as it draped over her.

"Humph I don't know why I can't get her out of my mind"

Piccolo said aloud as he stared down at the blanket he had materialized, he wanted her to feel as comfortable as possible.

*What has she done to me*

Piccolo walked away from the blanket to the entrance of the cave, the sun had climber higher dawn had come almost an hour earlier.

Isabelle was late, he would not tolerate that even from her, and she will need to make up for the hour she missed.

"Ill put you through your paces girl, you will need to be disciplined when training is concerned"

Piccolo smirked as he felt the Isabelle's ki approaching; she was on foot he took off from the cave to meet her half way.

"Its going to start now"
