The namekian who had healed Couric before immediately rushed over, looking at the young saiyan's eye. He muttered something and drew a hand up to attempt to heal the destroyed organ, only for nothing to happen. He pulled his hand away, confusion evident in his expression, but then the bleeding stopped as though it had worked...only for the namekian to notice Couric wince in pain.
"Healing...caused you pain...?"

Julia looks on in confusion, as she asks... "What's going on...? Why isn't it working...?"

"I don't know...But I definitely cannot heal his eye.." The namekian replied, letting his hand drop to his side, looking a tad disappointed in himself. Couric just frowned and looked down towards the ground, a tiny bit more blood dripping onto the grass.
"I apologize....If you need my help in the future, just ask..." He said before rejoining his comrades.

Julia just stays silent... not knowing what to say as she watches the namek leave... "Why?" She looks back to Couric, and wishes it could all be undone somehow.

"Don't worry about it, Julia...I'll get by fine with one eye." He said, trying to reassure as he tried to get up, only to fall backwards towards the android. His legs were still like jello even now, his body worn out. He'd need a hour or so of rest before he tried walking around and such, but he'd be fine eventually.

Julia catches Couric, and helps him sit back down again without falling over... she shifts beside him, and lets him lean against her if he wishes... "So... fine with one eye...?" She asks in a somewhat depressed tone, before she lets out a sigh... "This wasn't supposed to happen, you know... we were supposed to be like Universal Superheroes! Things like this don't happen to superheroes..."

"I'll get used to it..." He replied simply, using Julia as support for now. He felt his face gain a slight hint of red, only to lose it as soon as Julia spoke. He glanced downwards, having nearly forgotten about that.
"I should have visited Korin before even bothering to listen to Cajabe...." He muttered.

Julia shakes her head, and says... "Nah, don't worry about that. What's happened has happened. We've just got to focus on the future now, right? Some day, we'll get your eye back, and beat that Cajabastard."

Couric just chuckled, a bit surprised that he had never thought of that play on Cajabe's name before. He forced a smile, turning his head towards Julia.
"Right...No problem!"
And then he realized the obvious.
"Where exactly did Gozu go?"

Julia blinks, realizing she forgot all about him... "Uhhm... I dunno... he's probably off training somewhere again..." She shrugs her shoulders, and then says... "He'll be fine, wherever he is." More interested in sticking around with Couric and making sure he has someone to talk to and stuff. What else can she do after all he's been through?

"Training, huh. But I'd sense him close by if he were." He wanted to confirm it, but considering the shape his body was in, that likely wouldn't be easy. Besides, if he didn't rest, how was he gonna be able to get up when the time called for it.
"Hey Julia...? Why was I standing up and why were you hugging me when I woke up...?"

"Oh..." She doesn't really know how to answer this one, but gives it a try... "Couric... you didn't exactly wake up just then... you were already awake... but I guess it wasn't... uhm... 'you'..." "How do I say this?"

Couric blinked, brow about to raise when he remembered how he had spoke with Cajabe after that fight a year ago.
"So...'he' woke up first, didn't he...?" Couric asked, pretty much answering his own question. He had a pretty good idea of what had happened once he got pissed enough during that fight with Cajabe and lost it.

"So you know about... 'him'...?" Julia feels relieved to an extent, glad she wasn't breaking the news for the first time...
After a pause, she says... "By the way... I hugged him because I thought it would bring you back... and it didn't seem like it worked... but I just had to wait a few moments... He's not a very nice person."

"I wouldn't know....I've never met him." Couric replied, folding his arms across his chest. He had wondered just what 'he' was like, but he had a good feeling he didn't want to.
"The last time 'he' supposedly came out was after Cajabe snapped your spine...and 'he' was about to kill Cajabe when I woke up..."

Julia's face pales for a moment, but then she manages to say... "Somehow, I wish er... 'he'd'... have stayed in control a little longer and finished the job... heh..."

"Heh...I wonder just what happened during that fight in Hell after I lost consciousness..." Couric said, looking up towards the sky. He was a little surprised that Julia was so willing to see Cajabe dead, all things considered, but he figured she must just be really ticked off.
"What...did 'he' say to you, anyways...?"

"Uhm... he generally insulted me and made me feel awful... he's a very bitter person..." She says, as her face goes pale and she looks down. Not liking the memory of hearing the harsh words he spoke to her.

"So 'he' is an asshole..." Couric chuckled, wincing a bit as a slight tinge of pain ran through him. He wondered if that was from 'him', but dismissed it as another stab from his eye.
"I'll have to meet 'him' somehow, someday..."

"You don't want to... Couric... you don't want to... he's... he's the type of person who could probably get along really well with the Cajabastard if they decided not to be asses to each other for some reason..." She lets out a sigh...

"Heh...Sorry, Julia. But I have to say that I do wanna meet this other me." Couric replied, having decided on trying to figure out some way to in the future.
"Already made up my mind." He added.

Julia shrugs a little, and says... "Well, okay... but just as long as you don't get hurt by him... however that would work..." She confused herself for a moment... maybe she should have thought about that a little more before saying it... hmm... Anyways, so, carrying on after her realization that she should think more before speaking, she wraps an arm around Couric, holding him close to her side as she says... "You're too close a friend to me, now. I don't want you gone and some jerk in your place or some other jerk hurting you..."

"...How would that even work...?" Couric asked, a sweatdrop rolling down the back of his head as he tried to imagine just how the hell 'he' could hurt him. This was just as confusing as it probably were for Julia. And then Julia hugged him again, his face turning a bit redder, shoulder rubbing against a certain part of the android's body.
/If this keeps up, my head'll either catch on fire or explode.../

She turns her face to look at Couric, and thinks for a minute while looking at him... "Poor guy... why does he have to deal with all of this horrible... crap? It's not right... it really isn't... he has this Cajabastard and this other guy in his head and he's lost his eye... but he's such a lovely guy and he can sometimes be absolutely cute like how he's blushing right now... probably because I have my arm around him... it's so wrong that all these bad things have to happen to him!"

"Julia...my head's...about to explode...if you keep...hugging..." Couric managed to say, face brighter than a tomato at the moment. He was thankful that Gozu wasn't around at the moment, otherwise his head would combust from the sheer amount of embarrassment and flusteredness that was building up.

Julia smiles, and giggles a little... "You've always been so shy..." "You know what..." "...you're gonna have to get over that some day, you know." "...actually... maybe..." Julia's face also seems to be blushing. "...oh my God, why am I thinking like this?"

"I won't be able to get over it if my head explodes because of all the blood building up in my cheeks!" Couric exclaimed, seeming actually genuinely worried that his head would explode. If only he knew that that was impossible. But he is still just fifteen, so such a thing was probably expected...or not.
Who knows?

Julia feels her heart racing, her breathing is a little shaky but probably not noticed... she gazes in to Couric's remaining eye, seemingly unfazed by his missing eye... he's still Couric (the good one), so that's all that seems to matter... "I don't think you're head's going to actually explode..." "Just do it... he's a wonderful guy... and the four year gap'll not matter much in a few more months or so, too... What about my head exploding?!"

"Julia....Why are you staring at me like that...?" Couric asked, a bit wary. Something was about to happen and he had no idea what exactly that was.
/Is she crazy or something!?/

Possibly pulling Julia out of her thoughts her scouter will begin to beep indicating an incoming transmission. When she puts it on Gozu's voice will be heard. Hey Julia. Nai and I defeated the Changeling on Namek so it's safe to come back here. I don't know about the other planets so be careful. I'm gonna be here with the Guru
