Piccolo's Heart

Key: This is going to be like a play… most of my stories are dialogue anyhow. If a person is thinking it, it will be in parentheses. If a person is speaking telepathically, it will be in pound signs. The chapters will be dived by acts consisting of scenes. Got it? Good.

Setup: Piccolo has been wandering Earth for five years after Cell… trying to find his life's purpose. No one of the Z squad has seen him since Goku's death, not even Gohan.

Act XV: Tournament Pt. 2




Scene I: World's Martial Arts Tournament: Punching Qualification


Hercule walks up and punched the machine and a score of 135 popped up. People seem impressed with the score, but not the Z-fighters. Kim looks down at her number she was right after Piccolo and right before Vegeta. Kim smiles up at Piccolo.

Piccolo: Remember to hold back your power.

Kim: Of course. {grins and blocks thought} (Vegeta is just going to break the machine after me and if I break it… it will give me and Pici some alone time.)

Piccolo: #What are you hiding?#

Kim: #Nothing!#

Everyone stands in line. Kim feels slightly paranoid with the Saiyain prince standing that close behind her.

Piccolo: #Don't worry. If he touches you…#

Kim: #You'll fight him and get yourself killed before the first match.# {looks over her shoulder at the smug prince} Prince, I need to talk to you, later, if possible.

Vegeta: Depends on what is being discussed.

Kim: It is about the future. {turns her attention back to Piccolo as he punches the machine for a 190} (He really held back a lot.)

Vegeta: We can talk after my son wins the junior division tournament.

Kim: Good.

Working Dude: Miss, it is your turn.

Kim {giddy}: Me? {giggles like an airhead and skips up to the machine.} I just hit this thingie here? {points to the machine}

Working Dude: Yes… (Boy, this girl is hot but such an airhead… what was she even thinking signing up.)

Kim {powers up slightly}: Alright…

Z-fighters: (What is she doing?)

Kim: Here goes nothing…. {punches machine and shatters it…}

Z-fighters: (She didn't!)

Piccolo: What the hell are you doing?

Kim: {points at the broken machine} Oops, did I do that?

Piccolo: I can't believe you!

Vegeta {looking at the various people in utter shock}: Well done.

Kim {bows}: Thank you… too bad you're stuck here until they fix it.

Vegeta {growls}: Why you… little…

Kim {sticks her tongue out}: What goes around comes around. {grabs Piccolo's hand} #Come on, stud-muffin. That should give us some time alone. Anyways, Vegeta was going to do the same thing, if I didn't.#

Nail {laughing}: #She called you stud-muffin!#

Piccolo: #Please, Kimberly, stop with the names!# {allows Kim to lead him to a nice area without people and with trees and benches}

Kim: This looks peaceful. {sits on bench}

Piccolo: What do you want to discuss with Vegeta?

Kim: Sore wa himtsu desu! ~~AN: From Slayers: Xellos says Now, That's A Secret~~

Piccolo: Alright. {sits down}

Kim: {leans on Piccolo} I love you. {waits for him to do something… then takes his arm and wraps it around her shoulder}

Piccolo: Should we be doing this?

Kim: They will find out sooner or later… I know you hope for later… but I can't stand it… (Especially when I might die today…)

Piccolo: I won't let you. {leans down and plants a kiss on her lips, not an innocent kiss either}

Oblivious to Kim or Piccolo, Yamcha was walking past to get refreshments for the girls in the stands. Yamcha, of course didn't miss the two, making out on the bench and decided he better forget the refreshments. Yamcha ran back to the girls in the stands.

Bulma: What's wrong? You are pale and out of breath.

Oolong: More importantly where is the food?

Yamcha {breathing heavy}: Umm… I saw… (Should I tell? I mean… it's not really… they weren't really hiding)

Chichi: What did you see?

Bulma {folds arms}: I bet it was just some hot chick.

Yamcha: Never mind. I just don't want to get the snacks. The line is way too long.

Bulma: You better get down there and wait in line!

Yamcha: No! (I don't want to see that again! I mean such a gorgeous young girl… and PICCOLO)

Chichi: You better!

Yamcha: I saw Piccolo and Kim kissing!

Group: WHAT?

Yamcha: They were on a bench, practically… um… they were like a couple of horny teenagers.

Chichi: I can't believe it! Show me where! {stands}

Piccolo and Kim decided to get back to where the others said they'd meet. So they went to the top of the stadium. They notice Chichi throwing a fit.

Kim: I wonder what she's so mad about.

Chichi: Take me to where you saw them!

Yamcha: I shouldn't have even told you! I'm not going to take you there!

Chichi {shouting}: That girl is way too young! That monster must have them both brainwashed!

Piccolo {pales}: Do… they know?

Kim: Yamcha! I thought I sensed his power when we were kissing… Oh shit… I'm sorry, Piccolo.

Piccolo: I think we need to straighten things out. Maybe if she realizes I have pure intentions and we are engaged…

Chichi: I mean! Kissing in a public place! How could…

Kim: She will never understand. But I guess it won't hurt too much to try. At least so she doesn't blurt it out while the others are in earshot.

Kim and Piccolo make their way over to Bulma and the others. Yamcha is the first to see them and he tries to shoo them away. Chichi turns.

Chichi: YOU! How could you do something like this?

Kim: Before you damage Pici's ears, I'll have you know, Piccolo and I are engaged. We were waiting to tell everyone, but since Yamcha thought it necessary to tell you of our activities on the bench, I thought we should come and straighten this out once and for all. {Chichi opens her mouth to speak} I'm not done. {she closes it} Piccolo and I love each other very much. But I request that you allow us to tell the others when we feel the time is right. Gohan and Dende are the only ones who knew and I'd like to be able to tell the others.

Chichi: I can't believe that monster is capable of love and he is so much older than you!

Piccolo: I can feel love. I may not deserve such an emotion but I do love. I love Gohan and I love Kimberly. And about our age difference… Nameks age differently than humans.

Kim: I'm nineteen, a legal adult. I make my own decisions. If I wanted you as my mother I would have asked, but I don't need your protection. Especially from Piccolo. Piccolo has not only prevented harm from me but he has helped me to get stronger so I could protect myself if there was ever a time when he could not help me.

Piccolo: I assure you, even though I do not see reason in proving myself to you or anyone, I love Kim. You can call me monster all you want but I will marry her and I can kiss her if I want. {leans down and kisses Kim on the lips} Get use to it.

Yamcha: I thought… I'm sorry. I guess I was jealous because you got a girlfriend… and I don't.

Piccolo: That is alright, Yamcha. We should be getting back. I'm sure they finally fixed the punching machine. {gives Kim a stern glare}

Kim: So I broke the machine… gee wiz!

Piccolo: Come. {makes his way back}

Kim {takes Chichi's hand}: Please do not be angry with me. {releases her hand} I am sorry but I love Piccolo and I will continue to defend him… because I love him. I do… I really do. We should have told you. We didn't want you to find out like this but Piccolo is not really one to come out and admit his feelings in front of a group. Even if I am… I guess you could say Piccolo is a little shy. I'm sorry. {runs after Piccolo}

Bulma: You gotta give them break. I really do believe they are in love.

Yamcha: Piccolo is pretty lucky.

Puar: They are such a cute couple. So different but full of such love for each other.

Chichi: We will see.
--------

Piccolo: It seems we fixed that.

Kim: Yes, for now.

Piccolo: Here comes Vegeta. He isn't too happy.

Vegeta: Girl…

Kim: Sorry, prince. {bows head} I just needed extra time to train and I knew you were already so strong and powerful! And also it gave those perverts a taste of what would happen if they started to hit on me.

Vegeta {smirks}: Fine. It was rather amusing watching the shock of those stupid male humans.

Kim: I live to amuse! {poses like a Ginyu force member} Anyways, I was hoping you'd miss the stupid reenactment of Hercule beating Cell.

Vegeta: What re-

Just then the announcer came over the microphone an announced the reenactment on the big screen. Goku and the rest of the others came up and watched the silly reenactment.

Vegeta: That is absurd.

Piccolo: I say we destroy it.

Kim: Coming right up. I think I can short it out.

Piccolo: No, let me. You always… too late.

Kim ended up frying the whole lighting system along with the screen but finally the lights adjusted.

Kim: Damn, I never get it.

Goku: So you two trained together for over a year because you used the Hyperbolic Time Chamber…

Piccolo: Yes.

Kim: Look the Junior Division is starting… Piccolo… we should really get in more training… I already know who is going to win. {runs down to exit the stadium}

Piccolo: We will see you when we pick the order of fighting. {starts to leave but Krillin stops him}

Krillin: I don't know if we should trust you alone with Kim. She does have a crush on you.

18: Piccolo is a Namek. It would be irrational to worry about the two of them alone.

Krillin: True! Have fun! {grins}

Piccolo: Whatever.

Goku: You mean Kim has a crush on PICCOLO? {scratches head}

Piccolo {turns and glares at Goku}: What are you implying?

Goku: Well, you are um… an alien.

Piccolo: So are you, Sherlock. {growls} I better go before Kim gets herself in trouble. She might break more than a nose of the next guy to be obscene. {walks off}

Vegeta: They are definitely hiding something.

Gohan: Why do you care? What? Are you interested in her?

Vegeta: Well if she is as strong as I think she is… {grins} she might be able to reproduce strong offspring.

Krillin: I'm sure Bulma won't be too happy if you were to-

Vegeta: {growls} That woman is not my concern.

Goku: … but…

Gohan: Dad! Look it's Goten!

Goku: It isn't going to be good until the final round anyways. Let's go see what Kim and Piccolo are up to.

Gohan: Um… but Goten needs our support! And it isn't nice to spy!

Goku, Vegeta, and Krillin leave to spy on Kim and Piccolo. Even after Gohan pleads with them. Finally Gohan decides he better tell Piccolo.

Gohan: #Piccolo… um… what are you doing right now?#

Piccolo pauses his massaging of Kim's back.

Piccolo: #Why?#

Gohan: #Because my father, Vegeta and Krillin went to spy on you. I tried to stop them!#

Piccolo: #Thanks for the warning…#

Kim: Better start meditating then.

Kim and Piccolo meditate.

Krillin: Aw… they are actually training. How boring? {peers through window to training facilities}

Vegeta: So it seems.

Kim: Hi Prince Vegeta, Krillin… Goku. {doesn't open her eyes}

Piccolo: May we help you?

Kim: Are you worried about me and Piccolo?

Goku: No! We just came to spy on you because we think you two are hiding something!

Kim {smirking}: Total honesty… well as you can see we are preparing mentally for the match.

Vegeta: I decided I wanted to speak to you, now.

Kim: Ah, but you see your son is about to fight Goten, right now.

Goku: We better go! {runs off with Krillin trailing. Vegeta follows after a quick glare at Kim}
