Goku's Daughter(Saiyan Saga)

Chapter 4: Say You're Sorry

      V hung from Piccolo's folded arm by her tail, Piccolo glared at her tail wrapped around his arm she's still angry he thought as they watched the children poke at Gohan. V could barely feel an energy signal from him but Piccolo had said it was just because he was unconscious, he promised V that Gohan was fine. V watched curiously, titling her head to examine them.

"What are you dying to ask?" Piccolo grunted.

V didn't look at him "nothing." She snapped.

"V, I know that look." Piccolo grabbed the back of her shirt and hung her there. V unwound her tail from his arm and curled it under her.

"V." Piccolo snapped.

"What?" she didn't yell it, her voice was quite even.

Piccolo wasn't sure what to do with this girl. He knew how to handle the hyper girl that nagged him with questions and stole his cape to use as a blanket on occasion. But this girl, this girl he had no idea how to handle.

"Ask the question already." Piccolo turned her around so that she had to look at him. V still didn't make eye contact, she folded her arms and turned her head away.

"V." Piccolo drew her name out in a warning. V flinched and for the briefest of moments Piccolo saw V's eyes widen and her heart rate pick up. He watched her curiously is she afraid? Piccolo wondered is she afraid of me now Piccolo watched her eyes harden when nothing happened and looked back at the kids.

"Why don't they have tails?" V finally muttered.

"They're human, humans aren't born with tails." Piccolo answered matter-of-factly. Gohan's groan caught both Piccolo's and V's attention and they turned back to him.

"Hey, that's my sword." Gohan's voice was hoarse.

"We should check on him." V said worriedly.

"He's fine." Piccolo said shortly.

"but-" V clipped her mouth shut when Piccolo fixed her with a glare.

"Oh, fine..." V sighed watching as the kids picked Gohan up and carried him up the road.

"Let's get back to our training." Piccolo flew to the closest dessert and set V down. V walked away from Piccolo and began practicing the forms herself.

"What are you doing?" he snapped.

"Training." She quipped back.

"We're going to spare." Piccolo clarified.

V stuck her nose up "no, I don't want to train with you anymore."

"Are you kidding me, V?" Piccolo yelled at her "I just saved your life, that's enough for you to forget about what happened before."

"No." V sounded whiney to her own ears, it was a strange voice to her but she couldn't stop. "You're mean."

"I'm mean." He yelled at her as she continued through the forms. "You've lived with ruthless Saiyans for your whole life."

"At least they didn't pretend to be nice and then be mean all of a sudden." V snapped back fisting her hands at her sides and yelling back "at least they were always mean, I knew they were going to be mean to me."

"Yeah?" Piccolo growled "I expected Gohan to be a whiny brat but even he is taking this better than you."

V ground her teeth together "you're the meanest Nemekian I've ever met." V stuck her tongue out at him "every Nemekian I've ever met was nice, even in the face of death, you're just a big meanie. You're just like Raditz."
