I thank you of course again for your numerous comments and yes how should I say ...? I was just overwhelmed!




I can only emphasize it again and again: You are really the best and I am glad that you like my story!


But enough talk now!


Here is the continuation!


Have fun! :)






Of course, I returned the kiss and enjoyed his caresses to the full.


Piccolo decided to stay with me all night.


Overjoyed and with a beating heart, I fell asleep in his arms in the early hours of the morning ...




When I woke up the next morning and slowly opened my eyes, I couldn't see Piccolo anywhere. "He'll probably be training again." I thought to myself, freshened up and got dressed. My mind was still on the previous night. It was just beautiful and I wished it would never end ...



After I was done so far, I went to the kitchen to satisfy my insane hunger. As a matter of course and as if Popo had already expected me, the table was well set and my mouth was watering. "Ah there you are finally!" he greeted me and grinned at me like a honey cake horse. When I sat down and began to smear my first bread, Popo suddenly looked at me curiously from the side.




"Piccolo has been meditating for 3 hours! He's rarely been doing that recently!" he explained to me, but I looked at him and just smiled tiredly. "Maybe he just needs a little break!" I said triumphantly and the next moment I regretted this completely rash comment. Fortunately Popo didn't seem to have noticed what I had accidentally alluded to and looked out the window in silence. "No. I think Piccolo have found inner peace again ..." he whispered softly, but loud enough that I could hear it too."He's doing better than it has been in a long time!" he continued after a short pause, turned to me and watched me eagerly as I munched one bread after the other. "Goku are always so hungry!" he smiled and put two more slices of bread in the bread basket.




After my hearty breakfast, I decided to go to Dende to talk to him about a suitable time for my meeting with Master Kaio.




As expected, I found him in his room. "Ah, please come in!" he said when I knocked on the door and opened it carefully. Dende was just unique. He was always friendly, in a good mood and infinitely warm-hearted. You just had no choice but to let yourself be infected by his cheerful mood every time and in his presence I felt extremely comfortable and safe. "Hey Dende! How are you?" I finally greeted the little god and slowly closed the door behind me."Couldn't be better!" he smiled and kindly offered me a chair. "So you came because you finally decided to speak to Master Kaio?" he continued and I looked at him puzzled. "Where .. how do you know?" I asked incredulously.




"Well, listen ... as a god you notice a lot ... and besides ... I just know you." It just gushed out of him and I was once again astonished by the little Namekian boy standing in front of my nose.


"Yes, you are right ..." I agreed after a few seconds, probably feeling an uncomfortable toilet stick in my throat. I don't know why, but I was very scared of this meeting with Master Kaio. It seemed like I had a premonition.


"Goku will bring you to him! If you want it can start immediately!" Dende continued and I couldn't help but almost run over me with his suggestion. "Um ... All right.I will wait that long in my room! "I answered with a trembling voice, hoping to be able to get the whole scenario over with quickly. Yes, I was scared. Even tremendous fear and my feeling made me shudder again.


"Great!" Dende was happy, accompanied me to the door and wished me good luck.




When I made my way to my room to wait for Son Goku, something pulled me to the edge of the platform.


I walked slowly towards it and my gaze wandered into the almost infinite depth. Something seemed to have pulled me under its spell, because my head was empty through and through. At least that's how it felt to me and suddenly I felt my knees start to soften. A strange feeling crept inside me. Within a fraction of a second, a stabbing pain broke through me from head to toe and in panic I felt how my breath was slowly running out. I turned around, my fists clenched in pain, I dropped to my knees and gasped desperately."What the hell is happening to me?" I gasped, trying in vain to get myself back on my feet.




Then suddenly I saw Piccolo charging towards me. It seemed to me that he was shouting something to me, but I couldn't hear his voice. The images blurred more and more, which I was still struggling to perceive and when Piccolo finally picked me up and went to get help with me, everything around me went black.




I opened my eyes carefully. "Psst. I think she's waking up!" I heard Dende's voice say softly and I slowly tried to turn my head in his direction. But I couldn't. Every movement, no matter how small, triggered a seemingly endless wave of pain in me that I could hardly bear. "Daria ... can you hear me?" the little god asked cautiously, but all I could manage was a hint of a nod. "Please hold on! Help is on the way!" he added and carefully took my hand."I ... I'm so sorry ... I don't know why, but my healing powers don't seem to have had any effect on you ... I just did everything I could ... it is so dreadful..."




"Popo, bring Dende to his room and take care of him! He's pretty exhausted. I'll stay here and wait for Goku and Master Kaio!" I could suddenly hear Piccolo talking and I was very happy that he was by my side in this difficult situation. I even felt a small tear roll down my cheeks and a smile fly down my face. Popo did as he was told and finally left the room with Dende.




In tremendous pain and with a contorted face, I straightened up with difficulty. At least I tried until Piccolo helped me.


"Hey ..." he said with such a calm voice that shook my insides and made me plunge into a sea of ​​security.I felt that something was wrong with me and I burst into tears in the pain and despair. I looked at Piccolo sadly and wished for nothing in the world more than it would all turn out well. Right now that I had found what I had been looking for for so long, something terrible had to happen.


As if he could feel my thoughts and worries, Piccolo took me very gently in his arms. "Everything will be fine ... trust me ..." he tried to calm me down and gently stroked my back.




And although my body had everything else to do than to react to its caresses, despite the severe pain I could feel a comforting shiver go through me. "Piccolo ... I ... I don't want to lose you for anything in the world ..." I sobbed softly and pulled him to me as tightly as I could. "Don't worry. You won't ... I promise you ..."


Piccolo gave me a piercing look and held my hand tightly."I want you to hold out, understand? You ..." he paused briefly. "... You are the best that has happened to me in my life and I will give everything to find out what is wrong with you!"




The twinkle in his eyes, on the one hand dangerous and unpredictable but on the other exciting and attractive, drew me hopelessly under its spell for a few seconds ...


Suddenly, however, my almost unbearable pain brought me back down to earth. I clenched my fists again and clenched my teeth together. My whole body was sweating and I was struggling to keep breathing. Piccolo felt my forehead and began to stroke it gently. "Try to relax, your fever seems to have risen again ..." he said worried and nervously turned around to the door. "Where are they, damn it !? Goku hurry up ...!" I heard him growl angrily before I lost consciousness again.



When I slowly came to, I felt like someone was just about to put a cold towel on my head. "That will lower your fever ..." I heard a voice that was still unknown to me say calmly and tried to move carefully to see who it was.


After a short time, the initially slightly blurred images slowly became clearer and I could see several people standing around my bed. It was Goku, Dende, Popo, Piccolo and ... Master Kaio!




"I think she's waking up!" said the latter and asked the others with a clear gesture that it was now time to leave the room and wait outside. "No, I'll stay with her!" said Piccolo briskly and took a step towards me. "It's ... it's okay, Piccolo. Master Kaio wants it that way ..." I answered and had to use all my strength. After these words left my lips, Piccolo leaned over me and gave me a gentle kiss on the forehead ... It was dead quiet in the room and I could literally feel the amazed looks of the others ... At that moment, everyone clearly knew what had developed between Piccolo and me in the long time I've been here.



"Come on, old friend. We'll check on her later." I heard Son Goku say and saw how he put a comforting hand on his shoulder. Piccolo slowly straightened up, took my hand one last time and then let Goku and the others willingly lead him out of the room.


Once again I suddenly realized how much the great Namek had changed since my arrival here. He never developed character traits that he trusted and even learned to talk about his feelings! "My God, what a change he's been through!" I thought and a small tear ran down my cheek.




In the next moment, Master Kaio came a few steps closer to me and looked at me for a long time without saying anything.


"So you are, Daria ... I've heard a lot about you!" he began after a few minutes of silence. "I'm happy to finally get to know you!"


"Y ... yes, I'm also very happy, M ... Master Kaio ..." I said quietly and tried to get a few meaningful words out.



“I know
