Disclaimer- I don't own Dragon Ball Z. I Don't own the rights to anything in the whole DBZ universe which I worship so.
This story, well I hate to admitt to it, but this one is by the seat of my pants. Kami only knows what'll happen. ( watchs all the DBZ characters shrink back in fear) Mwahaha! This is going to be a well rounded story. Alot of romance, and alittle of everything,excluding yaoi. Be warned, lots n lots of Piccolo! I have a soft spot for 'em. Him and Gohan, and I beg you, do not attempt to place this in a time line, save yourself a head ache, because it doesn't fit, its like most of the Dragonballz movies.
Chapter One: In the shadow of Night
Goku sat up slowly, and looked over at the dieing fire. He'd have to get up to get more fire wood he thought with a groan , as he pulled himself up. He shot an absent glance to his 16 year old son, who was still fast asleep.
They had spared almost all day with Piccolo. Not that they had any fights to prepare for, just for fun. Goku could tell by the look in Piccolo's eyes that he did actually get lonely. Maybe after a year with Gohan, the demon king had learned what it was like to love and be loved.
He shurged and started off into the woods. It wasn't really his business what Piccolo felt. Sure they were friends, but Piccolo didn't care much for people analizing him. Piccolo had left after dark some time ago, said he had more important things to do that hang around and idiot and his annoying child. Goku knew better.
He stooped down grasping a tree limp. Goku decided against knocking a tree down, that'd wake Gohan up. So instead his eyes darted in the dark. Soon he was well away from the campsite, with an arm-load of huge tree limbs. Goku smiled to himself, being blessed with great nightvision, this had been an easy task. He yawned none the less. The sooner he got back the sooner he could get back to sleep. He shook his head violently and blinked, but yawned again anyway.
Something steps up behind him, and he hears a twig snap. Goku turned with those saiyan fast reflexes, but sees nothing. His eyes close for a moment, he could hear someone breathing heavily, thier ki was weak, but stronger than the average person. "Show yourself." He stated flatly, in part from being tired, but mostly because it un nerved him to have something move faster than him.
****
"Please, do not attack me, I merly saw your fire, and was curious about who was out here" She blinked, her stomach felt tight. This man was strong, really strong. She could feel his strength like a blanket of heat surrounding him. But she could also feel the cool brereze of innocence, and how powerful his heart was. This man would bear her no ill will, or harm her. She slowly walked towards him, the earth was cold and damp beneath her bare feet, and her heart pounded in her slender throat. She had seen this man in the forest before. He visisted once in awhile, but she hadn't the courage to approach him till now.
****
Goku turned slightly to his right, he listened to the voice. A woman? in the woods this late? He frowned at the fear trembling in her voice" I won't attack you, I was just getting some fire wood." Goku scratched the back of his head and laughed in that trade mark way. " You scared me, sorry if I gave you the wrong idea.. Me and my son are out here camping."
****
She smiled back in the dark. Those words rang loud with truth. Yes, she could trust this man with her life, any of her many secrets. She stops infront of him, still shroded in the dark. "If it is not a trouble, could I join you and your son for a short while." She rubed her arms absently. She could see him clearly, as if it were day. She was very at home in the dark...
****
Goku noded quick to her " Sure you can!, it is kind of cold out here isn't it??" He smiled widely and turned walking back towards the dim light. About half way to the camp site Goku glanced over his shoulder, still only able to make out her silouette.
Her ki is stranged, unstanble. he narrows his eyes in thought. Her life force seemed to tremble, like a candle flame when the window opens. It was just so odd. He turned back. It didn't feel like she was dieing, just, unstable. he shook his head, it was beyond words.
****
She smiled as they stepped onto the camp site, the smuldering fire was still giving off warmth. Her eyes shifted to the sleeping boy to her left, curled in a sleeping bag. "Your son?" she said softly, her expression softening.
He was strong, but, his soul, his heart. The innocence and good of this child seemed to wrap itself around her like velvet, He was definatly his father's son. But she could since something else about him. She looked back to Goku as she sat on the flame heated earth, crossing her legs and folding her hands in her lap.
****
Goku started staking the wood on the fire, and blew on the embers to bring the flames back to life. soon the lucid fire light casted itself onto the woman who had followed him back. Goku tried not to stare, but he did for a moment none-the-less.
She wore a tattered cotton dress that bore her bare shoulders and reaches to her knees. It was dirty stained, but one could tell it's true color had been cream, or maybe even white. It Laced from the neck to the middle of her chest with old white strings. But Goku was dumbstruck, not by her outfit. Her long black hair feel to the ground and shimmered blue in the light, bringing out the errir color of her eyes.They were midnight blue, the light danced across those orbs looking not unlike stars. Her skin was flawless, like fine porciline.
Goku quickly smiled "Yeah, His name is Gohan.He sure is something else." He looks over to his son, the woman's smoldering beauty having already fallen from his intrest. He loved his wife. Chi-Chi was the most beautiful woman in the universe in his eyes. He sat down on his sleeping bag, and proped his elbows on his knees.
****
She blinked puzzled at this man's reaction to her appearance. She didn't talk to people much, in fact. This man had been the first to see her in afew years. She looked at the boy again as he stired quietly in his sleep. Ah to sleep. what is sleep like? she wonders quietly to herself before she returned her gaze to the man. "May I ask what your name is?" she smiled to him.
****
"Oh yeah.." he laughed at that, and slaping his forhead lightly."How silly. I forgot to tell you my name. My name is Goku." He blinked slightly. Shes so proper... Her words rolled off her tongue in a practiced way. Like a well schooled person. " By the way, whats your name?"
****
Her eyes widened a touch at the question. What is my name? Come to think of it, I have never been called anything. her eyes wandered for several moments, her eyes soon dazed over the fire as the flames licked the air, the golden light stark against the night. " My name is...Eve" Her eyes returned to Goku. She smiled, having picked a name for herself.
****
Goku grined brightly "well I'm glad I found you out there, its nice to meet you Eve." he noded to her" what were you doing out there anyway?..do you live nearby?" Goku asked. He hadn't seen any housed in this area, but he never really looked hard. He could have easily missed something. Maybe Eve was just a night person.
****
She hesitated, but not long enough to really notice. "Yes, I live nearby, I was simply enjoying the night air and lost track of how far I had traveled. That is when I saw your fire" she giggled faintly and added "And that is when I started you Goku." her fingers traced through the sand before her, drawing simple pictures absent mindedly. One looked to be some kind of cat, the other a sun.
Her eyes then darted back to him " I should really be leaving now. It is very late." Eve stood slowly, dusting her dress off in a trained gesture that all woman seem to have.
****
Goku stood as well "Well, it was fun talking to you Eve.. You sure you can find your way back?" His voice edging on consern. She was right. It was very late, and dark. He couldn't possibly imagin how she could find her way anywhere. But if she lived nearby, she probably new this area well enough.
He was still puzzled over her ki it seemed to be steadily getting more confident, less wavering. Goku decided to himself that he would make note of where they were when morning came. He'd like to visit this girl again. He might tell Piccolo about her, seeing as he spent 98% of his time in the woods doing something or another. He would know of any houses near here
****
Eve noded thankfully "It was a pleasure speaking with you aswell Goku. Thank you for your consern, but I can find my way back easily. Thank you again for your hospitality" She bowed slightly to him, her hair falling in a ebony curtain over one shoulder, before she turned and dissapeared into the darkness.
The warm of those two good hearted warriors yielded to the cold of night, leaving her skin chilled as much as absence of the fire light..I hope to see those two again some day.. .The world gave way to the endless shades of black and blue.
Eve. what an apropreate name she had chosen for herself. She starts off aimlessly. Home,Sure. The night was her home.
****
Goku waved blankly and finally laid down, pulling his sleeping bag around him. His gaze drifting over to Gohan for a moment. What a strange woman..nice though... . Too Bad Gohan slept through it
Goku sighed inwardly. He then closed his eyes and sighed deeply. He wondered faintly before sleep draged him down. would anyone even believe him when he told them about this girl.
~*************~
