26. Shiro just stood there as Korin finished fuming, before he grinned. "That's right, you're a mind reader. I forgot about that." Korin stepped back as Shiro started walking towards him. "But I wonder, how well can you read minds if you're being distracted?"

27. At that point "Shiro began narrating his actions. Everything he did he said out loud in extraordinary detail, all for the sake of keeping the furball out of his head. 'Will this work' he wondered as he took another step, watching Korin step back, fear practically radiating off him at the sight of Shiro's maniacal grin."

28. "Shiro suddenly leaps to the left, startling Korin. The furball takes another step back, worry written on his face. The two stand there, staring at each other, neither moving, neither, er, one speaking."

29. "Suddenly Shiro... does nothing, watching the old fat cat leap aside at his faint. Apparently the master fighter is a bit skiddish without his mind reading abilities, cheap though they are."
"They aren't cheap!" Korin shouts

30. When Korin speaks, however, is when Shiro struck. He after imaged next to the old cat, grabbing his left ear firmly. The cat, realizing his mistake, sighs and tilts his staff in Shiro's direction.

Shiro takes the jar from the tip of the staff, opening it before drinking. He grimaces slightly at its metalic taste, but finishes anyway. Once he's done, he raises an eyebrow at Korin, who was snickering. "What?"

Korin shakes his head, clearly trying to hold back his laughter. "Oh nothing, nothing. Would you like me to get you some more?"
Shiro cocks his head, but nods. "Uh, sure."

Korin, still snickering, takes the empty jar from Shiro and walks inside, Shiro following. He facefalls once he sees Korin walk up to the sink and fill the jar from there. "There ya go, a nice cold jar of 'holy waterrr HAA HAHAhaha!"

Shiro pushed himself off the floor, glaring at the cat for a moment, before sighing. "Figures. No shortcuts to power, huh?"
Korin stopped laughing, coughed, and nodded. "Nope, but you should be proud. You've gotten much stronger since the last time we've met. And your karma has grown, too."

Shiro reverted back to base before pulling out one of Korin's chairs, nodding at his cat elder's words as he sat down. "Yeah, I guess you're right. I do feel much stronger, now." Korin sat down in his own chair, staring at Shiro.

"If I were you, I'd start with Namek." Korin said suddenly, interupting Shiro's thoughts. Shiro turned to look at him. "You know, you could be polite and let me ask you first instead of probing my mind."

Korin chuckled. "Sorry kid, can't. My powers don't exactly turn on and off that easily."
Shiro frowned. "That must suck, having to know what everyone around you's thinking constantly. Or, it would if there were actually people around you." He finished with a smirk, as the cat laughed.

"Alright then, how about you asking me your question this time, instead of wondering if you should or not." Korin said.
Shiro shrugged. "Alright. Why should I start with Namek?"

"There's a tournament starting soon. I figured you'd want to sign up before it's too late."
Shiro rose an eyebrow. "Really. In that case I might."

Shiro mused for a moment, before adding, "But I think I'll start with Vegeta. Tournaments are great and all, but I need to learn more, first. I still haven't improved all that much." And that guy from a year ago. I wouldn't have been able to beat him without help. I still wouldn't, for that matter. I need to get stronger.

Korin nodded. "In that case, good luck to you."
Shiro nodded and stood, before walking over to the railing. "I'll be back for a senzu before I leave, Korin. See ya then." And he leapt over the railing, flying in the direction of West City.

Appearing on the tower Tyson would throw the fish up on the table. "Here ya go!" He yelled out as he held his hand out. "You kids and your beans....it's like your own brand of heroin" "Thanks Korin!" Tyson yelled out as he vanished from sight.

Shiro landed on the balcony of Korin's tower. He called out for Korin, "Hey, Korin! I brought you dinner and a guest!" The cat walked out of the inner room in the tower and over to his student. "Back already, Shiro? And who's the new kid?"

Issilude stepped off the cloud once it stopped. If he thought the buildings and towers of West City had been impressive, then this tower was downright mind boggling. The fact that such a thin, tall tower could remain stable was unbelievable, but with this building on top, it was absolutely incredible.
Korin's appearance only heightened his excitement. "The cat just SPOKE!"

Shiro and Korin both chuckled at Issilude's expression. "Apparently he's from a planet of magic called Arivon. Have you ever heard of it?"
Korin shook his head. "Nope, can't help ya, kid."

Issilude shrugged at Korin's words, entering a very relaxed, casual pose. "No biggie, I'm in no rush to get home." Although I do need to tell him that his experiment, the teleporter, actually did work and didn't banish me to nonexistance or something.

Oryan appeared to see his new acquaintances there waiting on him. He didn't mean to be rude, but he wanted to get a couple of things done before he sparred with Shiro. "Be back in a bit, Shiro. I need to get some things done." He tossed the fish to a very eager looking Korin and received a senzu bean in return. He focused once again, preparing to teleport.

He placed the senzu in the pouch that Korin had given him over a year ago and then nodded. He kept his focus up a bit longer, preparing to warp out of the tower.

His body would flicker out of sight as he aimed to go to the Hercule City shop to improve upon his weights. The ones he had right now weren't cutting it.

Shiro sighed and shook his head. "Your family's going to be worried about you." He turned back to Korin. "Anyway, we brought you a couple of snapper." He said as he tossed the cat the red fish.
Korin caught the fish and smelled it, sighing dreamily. "Yeah, this is great. Here." In exchange, Korin tossed Shiro a senzu, and Issilude a senzu and a pouch for it.
Shiro turned and nodded at Oryan when he showed up. "Alright, I can wait a bit."

Issilude also handed over his fish before receiving the pouch of senzu. He looked inside, and took out the green bean. "This is supposed to fully restore me?"

Shiro nodded. "Yeah, and it really does work. Trust me, I've used it before."
Korin added. "Heals physical wounds, too, not just exhaustion. You could lose a limb and that little bean would heal you right up."

Issilude looked at the bean dubiously. "Well, if you say so..." He tucked it bag in the bag and put that in his robes. "Anyway, Shiro, why don't you try out that radar thing while you wait for Mr. Kaishin?"

Shiro nodded. "Yeah, I guess it couldn't hurt." He pulled out the radar, asking Korin as he did. "You know anything about the dragon balls, Korin?"
The cat nodded. "Sure do, those things have been the source of absolutely HEAPS of trouble in the past. Villians wanting immortality or invincibility, stuff like that. Goku had to deal with them all."
Shiro nodded and pressed the button on top of the radar. "Sounds about right."

Issilude hops back on the nimbus and floats over to Shiro. He looks over his current guardian's shoulder at the small device. "So, where is it?"
