Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Little Slave Girl ❯ In The Line Of Fire ( Chapter 4 )

The screaming was still going on and now he could hear things like pans being thrown and dishes breaking. He'd flown ahead of the girls to prepare Goku and Chi Chi for Rowyn's arrival and ask if they could find a place for her in their home. Now, as he hovered above the house, he had the very strong urge just to hightail it out of there.

** Coward! **

** That woman would make anyone afraid! She's crazy! **

** I wonder what she's angry about now…**

Piccolo just ignored them and placed his fingers to his forehead, flickering and reappearing inside the house. Chi Chi had just thrown a dish at Goku and it sailed past Piccolo's head, slicing along-side his ear to crash against the wall after Goku had ducked.

"Heh!" Goku smiled up, "Sorry about that, Piccolo! What's up?"

Piccolo shook his head, Chi Chi screamed; "What are you doing?! Don't you even have the common decency to use the kami-forsaken…

** I resent that! **

** Shut up, old man! **

…door!? Not to mention, can't you see that we are having a private discussion here?!"

"Private?!" Piccolo growled, rubbing his ear, "Who is it suppose to be private from…the other half of the world?!"

"Why…you…" Chi Chi fumed, her face red from anger and frustration, hands already reaching for something else to throw, "Baka kuso atama!"

Both Piccolo and Goku looked taken aback by her langange! They hadn't expected her to scream something like that!

** Whoa! ** Nail gasped, in between a chuckle, ** I never realized Goku's woman was such a potty mouth! **

"Hey, Piccolo..." Goku looked from his wife to his friend, "W-would you like to go…somewhere…else….?"

"Are you serious, Goku!?" Chi Chi yelled, "I'm not done talking with you! Where are you going?! You get back here this instant, this instant…Aaargh!!!"

Piccolo and Goku flew off away from the fuming woman as fast as they could, Nail and Kami both laughing so hard that Piccolo had a bit of trouble trying to hear his own thoughts over their blasted mirth…

Perhaps today isn't the best day to introduce Rowyn…

** Ya think? **

** Oh, Chi Chi can be sweet…when she's not steamed about something…**

Nail shook his mental head.

"Whoa!" Goku said, standing in midair, far from his house, scratching his head, "I've seen Chi Chi mad before but…what she said…!"

"Yeah, she sounded like Vegeta…"

"Hey, Piccolo…" Goku looked at him out the corner of his dark eye, "Heh…you…wouldn't know what a `shit head' is? Would you? Cause I don't think my head is made of…"

"Goku!" Piccolo said, "I'll explain the ins and outs of swearing to you later…"

"But, I really want to know…"

** Is he really that stupid…? ** Kami started.

** Hey, Piccolo! Ask him about the peanut! **

** Peanut? What peanut? **

** That peanut…** Nail showed a series of particularly humorous images involving Goku and a peanut…

** Ohh! **

"Goku, the reason I came to your house," Piccolo began, getting the other man's attention, which had begun to wander away again, "Was that I had a favor to ask of you and your wife."

"Well, Gee, Piccolo," Goku smiled, "You know we'd always be happy to do a favor for you! What is it?"

Piccolo quickly brought him up to speed, and yes he used short and easy words with lots of description, (stopping just short of materializing a sketchpad and pencils and drawing him pictures…), as to finding the other elf and thinking a place in the Son house would be good for her…

** Are you still certain of that? ** Kami asked quietly.

"Can I meet her?" Goku asked, "What does she do? Fight? Is she really strong? Cause I really want to fight someone strong…ya know, stonger than Vegeta…"

Piccolo shook his head, "Come on. I left her with Ryven back at my cave…and no, she doesn't fight…"

"Hmm, okay." Goku said, sounding crestfallen, as they flew, but just as quickly his mood brightened once more; "Can she cook?"

Piccolo nodded, sighing. "I think she can."

"All right!" Goku cried, speeding up, "I can't wait to meet her!"
