CH. 5: "SURPRISE!!"

(time skippy :) )

Vegetas POV

After our meal, which we ate in silence, Kakarot had chosen to move somewhere with more....cover. At first i didn't understand why he'd want to move from the spot we JUST found, which, by the way, i found quite relaxing and perfect.

But i soon came to understand his reason to continue to move ahead. I once again became silent, as i walked close behind him. He stared ahead, not making a sound. The entire trip was awkward as Hell, and i found myself stopping every now and then to see if Kakarot gave a single fuck about leaving me behind, or if i were to suddenly be ambushed and dragged off. Of course the first couple times i halted in our walk, he stopped and looked back, almost as if he could sense when i froze. But he soon realized what i was doing, and simply gave me this smug look with narrow eyes, before he continued walking. He never looked back at me again.

Now i found myself in a much denser and shrubbier area of the forest. When we first arrived to Kakarots location, i couldn't believe what i was seeing. A small section of the forest, extremely crowded with trees, furs, and shrubs. Almost everything was caked in green. But then Kakarot motioned over to me from some random spot. 

I walked over to him hesitantly, and he motioned for me to peer through some bushes. At first i thought the idiot was planning to shove me through, as i leaned down and forced my head through the thick shrub. But he simply, at least i assume, stayed where he was. 

I blinked my eyes a couple times, my face a little scraped up from small twigs and branches in the bush. But then i found myself staring at an open space. A much smaller open area than the meadow we were in before. It seemed just big enough for me to pace around in, and as i gazed up, i noticed it had a glassless skylight. An open canopy if you will. Then, as i decided to pull out, i noticed that Kakarot had vanished. I looked around frantically, my hands formed into fists. I bared my teeth in anger. "Dammit, he fucking ditched me!!" I had no idea where he was, but i knew that when i found him, if i even did, that he'd pay both for being a complete prick, and outright leaving me. I yelled, "Dammit Kakarot, if you don't come out here right fucking now, my broken wrist is gonna make up for itself!! Kakarot?!!" I looked around. Where did he go?

I thought, 'he must be playing a trick on me. At this time that's definitely something he'd do!' I walked a ways around, my eyes trailing over bushes and tree trunks, hoping for a sign. Nothing. Where the fuck was he?! I forced up enough courage to venture out into the dense bushes of doom. But as i was walking under a tree branch, i heard a rustling. I stopped dead. The first thing that came to my mind was, 'is it one of the infected?!' I wasn't entirely sure. I glanced around slightly, my body stiff and still, hoping that whatever it was didn't know i was here. But suddenly, i heard a loud crashing, something sounding like snapping tree branches. My eyes widened with horrified realization, as i slowly looked up. The leaves above me shook, and the crashing sound only got louder. And closer. My breathing hitched, and i suddenly became a deer in the headlights, completely frozen in fear and small confusion. Then suddenly, before i could react, a flash of black and orange bashed through the leaves, with the biggest grin on this planet earth, and shouted. "SURPRISE!!".....i fucking screamed. 

The only thing i could recall is my head hurting, hearing groans that i assumed were mine, and the blurry image of a tall, orange, black haired figure, wearing a concerned expression. I squinted my eyes. "K....Kakarot...?" I spoke in a soft and confused voice. Immediately the figure smiled. Yep, definitely Kakarot. I almost smiled myself, but a throb of pain erupted in my skull. I gasped, and my head stretched back, as i gritted my teeth in pain. My vision was still hazy, so i had a hard time figuring out exactly where i was. Kakarot stood up, and walked off. Honestly, at that moment, i knew he would come back. No one just fucking surprises you so hard that you fall back, hit your head, end up almost blind with your head feeling like it held an entire war inside it, then give you the most concerned expression, before just walking off. And never coming back. 

I couldn't tell how long i laid there. But i guessed just a few minutes. My vision slowly cleared up, as i heard Kakarot walk back to me. He kneeled down, and i noticed a clump of something small, green, wet, and spongy in his hand. Was that....moss? I tilted my head ever so slightly, highly doubting Kakarot would notice. Then, without saying a word, Kakarot reached a free hand down, slipped it under my neck, and lifted my head up. I shut my eyes hard from the pain. I also squeaked, yes squeaked, as Kakarot pressed the moist moss against the sore part of my head. I bit my lip hard, the taste of bitter blood covering my taste buds in seconds. It all happened so quick, and i passed out so fast.

Then, all was silent in the black abyss i called my conscience.
