Hey guys!

I KNOW! I should be writing "The Wanted" but but… this whole chapter was inside my mind and not letting me write my other fic… Sorry!

Well, the thing is… I'll put this chapter online, and the update will (probably) be slow, as my main focus is to finish the Wanted first.

Ok, little things to know trough the story:

*Etui means "Pencil Case" in Dutch (and other languages as well) – I'm using it as Erasa Surname.

My Fiancé

Chapter 1

It was a good morning. That was what he thought when he woke up that day. Stretching he smiled. It was Friday, and that could only mean that he was going to train for all weekend, full time, as he was going to do his homework as soon as he get at home from school. It wasn't that he hated school and his new friends, in fact he loved it; but with his goings to the city were taking all his training time. And he had to stay in shape or else Vegeta would beat the air out of him. Or even kill him.

He smelled the food that his mother was doing for breakfast and his stomach growled, indicating that he was more than pleased to go eat as soon as he got ready for his school day. What he was fast to do, since he was hungry. When wasn't he hungry? A silly smile was on his face once he sat down on the chair, the mountains of food were very appealing to him and his little brother; with whom he had a food contest.

"Gohan." ChiChi said before he could fly to school. The boy stopped at the door frame, and looked at his mother with curiosity; she only used that tone when she wanted to tell something important. "When you get back from school, doesn't come home. Go straight to the castle. We have something to discuss there." He blinked. It was not that he didn't like to visit his grandpa, but if they had to go to his castle that could only mean it was something regarding their kingdom.

"Okay, no problem." He waved to his mom once he was at the sky. "I gotta go! Or I'll be late!" She waved back to him with a smile.

If only he knew what was waiting for him after school, he'd not come back home that day.

Gohan landed near the road that lead to Satan City, as always he pressed his capsule and threw it on the asphalt. His car appeared and with a smile he got into it. It has been one year since he started school, and a few months after his first day he got used to get his friends on the way. No reason aside that it was "his way to school anyway."

He went through the city portal, the pic of Mr. Satan changed over the months, but the peace sign was still there. He sighed and speeded up; or else he was going to be late. His first stop was at one of his blonde friends, Erasa. This stop took a few minutes, as the girl was still inside her house.

"Morning Gohan!" Erasa said smiling to him, right before she jumped inside his car. Yes, jumped. It was a sportive model, courtesy of Bulma for his birthday. "Bye mom!" She waved to her, also blonde, mother.

"Bye honey! Hi Gohan!" She looked exactly like Erasa, but her hair was really long, going all way to her waist.

"Hi Ms. Etui!" He said waving back, right before he accelerates his car. Erasa was sitting at the back seat, annoyed at something on her phone.

"Kami… Sharpener had another fight on his house. His parents found out his report card from last month." Gohan couldn't help but laugh.

They always study together, but for some reason Sharpener never get good grades; even he knowing the answers. In truth the little group of friends are sure that the teachers think he cheated on them, copying the answers from Gohan. The boy stopped at a red traffic light, and turned to look at his friend.

"Nothing new then, right?" He was smiling, his characteristic Son smile. Erasa couldn't help but laugh; indeed it was nothing new.

A few blocks ahead they saw Sharpener near a comic store. The blonde was looking at it with a frown, clearly mad at what happened at his home; but he dashed to them once Gohan honked to get his attention. He sat down at the front seat, sighing.

"I need to start to burn my report card. Really." Gohan smirked at him, he never changes.

"Huh… Videl is at the bank. Something about an assault." Erasa said tipping on her phone, before looking at them. "Should we go get her?" There was no answer aside from Gohan accelerating the car.

It wasn't that he was worried about the girl, he know she can handle herself in a fight, but he always wanted to help. But he couldn't. If his face was shown up into the news, being him super saiyan or not, his mother would kill him. Not to mention that his face was well known on the Ox Kingdom, he was the prince after all. That would ruin everything. He never told his friends his true identity – being half alien, a prince and the delivery boy – in order to show them who he really is. Not his titles. He'd tell them someday though, but not yet. Sure, a year is already a time when you can see the truth about someone, but he was lacking confidence on himself. But he was starting to open up to them, as a few months ago he told them that he also knows a little bit of martial arts. Of course it wasn't a little bit but, that was another story.

Stopping his car at the huge crow that blocked the way, the trio looked over the bank; at this distance they had a clear view of the scene.

Videl was amazing, for a human; even though Kuririn was way better. Gohan never got tired of watching her fight. Using her short height she overpowered the enemies, strong punches and kicks always showing her opponents what she was made off. But of course that Gohan helped sometimes, as he did this time. The girl got distracted for a minute, letting her guard down for the big guy she put on the ground. She believed she had made him unconscious, but because of his huge body the power she used wasn't enough.

Narrowing his eyes Gohan predicted what he'd do. The guy would get up, and punch her spine, in a dangerous place; he'd not let that happen. While his friends were cheering up for Videl, he put his left hand outside the car, and sent an invisible wave of ki right into the big guy. The man was about to get up, but the pressure he suddenly felt made him unconscious, this time for good. Gohan smirked.

"Videl! Videl!" The crowd started to cheer for their favorite crime fighter, and the girl blushed while smiling at them. It wasn't too long after that she noticed her friends. As her smile grew she looked to Gohan, just to see his face full of pride.

Her heart skipped a beat. She found out her feelings towards him one day after school, were they were chatting. At some point Erasa and Sharpener went home by themselves, and the two of them walked alone for some time. They got some ice cream from a store, and while they were sitting there and talking, their hands touched a few times. Well, she could say her heart beat got into a strange rhythm when that happened; and she is not an idiot. Not that she'd tell someone about it too.

"Hey guys!" She said jumping inside the car, sitting near Erasa; who hugged her strongly. "Sorry for taking so long." She was smiling; she never knew how happy she was going to be when Gohan entered their group a year ago. In fact, neither Erasa nor Sharpener thought about it.

"We still have time, don't worry." Gohan said before accelerating his car again, this time going towards the school.

It was hard, even to Gohan, to stay awake in that class. History is something that he knows very well, as most of the things they were learning he saw in first hand. Well, that could only mean that most of it was being taught wrong. The alien invasion – also known as the arrival of the saiyans for our half breed – was changed. They put Mr. Satan being the hero, showing the aliens how powerful he was, scaring them; they deeply apologized and flew off the planet. Gohan could only look at the text book with concern. What the humans were doing, changing history like this? He sighed and closed the book, earning glares from the teacher.

Also the so called alien that apologized and flew off Earth was living very well at Capsule Corp.. He sighed, and this time it was Videl who looked at him. She was sitting at his right side, Erasa at the middle and Sharpener at the blonde side. At Gohan's left side stood an empty seat.

"What's wrong?" She asked, and he looked at her.

He had to say… her eyes were beautiful. It was the first thing he noticed when he started school, and it still gets him for hours.

"Nothing really." He supported his head with his left hand and turned to her. A smile on his face. "I just think that your father wasn't there…" She giggled, even though she was blushing.

"He wasn't… he still gets mad at this. They changed the books after Cell was defeated. But he still wants people to learn the true history." She now also supported her head and looked at him.

"Ms. Satan and Mr. Son, its class time and not, flirting time." The teacher said in a harsh tone, making both jump on their chairs and look ahead, blushing, as red as a tomato.

"W-We weren't flirting, sir." Both said in unison.

"Yeah, right." The teacher said with bored eyes, as if he was used to see that every day.

Videl looked at Erasa, already knowing the look her friend had; she narrowed her eyes to the girl. The blonde was smiling with a glint on her eyes, and Videl could hear what she was thinking, something on the lines of 'Hoho! You were flirting with Gohan! You like him!' But of course nothing was told.

The class went as always after that, and the scholar day ended. Gohan was throwing his books inside his bag, he had to go to the castle after all; he just wished that what they had to discuss wasn't something too difficult. I wasn't that he couldn't handle it, but he just wanted to train this weekend, and not do some political issue.

"Oh, something is going to happen at the Ox Kingdom this weekend!" Erasa said while looking at her phone. Gohan stopped what he was doing and looked over to her, wondering where she get all her info from.

"Is there something saying what is it?" Videl said getting closer to her friend's phone, trying to read the news; but Erasa shook her head, denying it.

"Nope. Just that it'll be something good for the world." She frowned, and Gohan too. What his family was planning? Good for the world? "Anyway, should we go do some shopping?" Erasa said while throwing her phone inside her bag.

"I can't today guys, sorry. My mom wants me to go to meet my grandpa." Gohan said closing his bag. "Since you guys are going somewhere, can I go?" He asked as he was their ride home. The trio exchanged a look and nodded at him. "Ok then! See you guys at Monday!" He yelled already from the door.

Gohan threw his bag on his king sized bed at the castle. He couldn't say that he didn't like this room, but he still liked the one back at his house. There he could do what he wanted to, and no one would ever care – aside from his mother, of course – but here all his steps were closely looked after. At least he managed to have some privacy at his bedroom and bathroom; he loved his bathtub, just to let it on the record.

He walked to his closet and opened it. The size was the same as his room on his house, and inside were so many clothes that he'd need years to wear all of them. He sighed as he already told his grandpa that all he needed was formal suit for his prince duties, nothing more. But he never listens. With that in mind, he chooses one formal suit and headed to his bath.

He knew he spent too much time inside it, but he couldn't help. The giant bathtub was everything he wished for, not to mention that the temperature of the water was perfect. So it was only natural for him to lose track of time. His steps were firm, fast, and followed by two others, courtesy of the two bodyguards that knew how well he could handle himself; but they had a duty, and they'd do it until the end. Gohan knew that it was their job, so he just let them follow him around; it wasn't bad either as at least they turned out good friends.

"Any clue on what they want to discuss this time, Nick?" Gohan asked to the one at his left side, a red haired bodyguard that smiled sadly at the prince.

"Sorry but no, your Highness. This time they didn't let a single thing slip out." Gohan looked at him with a soft smirk.

"Gohan. Not your Highness, dumbass." The other bodyguard said before slapping Nick's head, who pouted. "He already told you, a ton of times, to call him by the name when his mother isn't around. When will you learn?" Gohan chuckled.

"Calm down John. It's ok." John was a black haired guy, a serious expression always present on his features, but he was a nice person. Both were also trained into martial arts, and of course, knew how to manipulate ki.

That was basic for any bodyguard at the Ox Kingdom.

"It's not ok, Gohan." He looked at the prince with a frown, but the boy was already a few steps ahead. "Why are you running?" Gohan chuckle was his answer.

"I want to go train after this. So I'm rushing to find out what they want." And then he speeded up, making his two bodyguards gasp before following him.

Gohan's room was nearly at the back of the castle, and the throne room at the front, so even running in a normal speed it took a while to reach the big doors. The size of it never stopped to amaze him, not to mention his grandpa height. He could hear his mother's voice inside, together with his grandpa. He took a deep breath and knocked, to show that he was entering the room. The big dual door opened up, he bowed in respect before walking in. Such formal things were needed inside the castle, but at his home he'd only hug his grandpa as strong as he could. Looking up he saw his mother sitting on her little throne, using her armor. It consisted of a dark pink chest piece, that covered most of her chinese dress, leg armors and also at her arms. That was the formal suit for princess. He was glad to know that it was different from the one she used as a kid.

Although his formal suit was a bit different, he too used armor. His chest piece covered only one shoulder, while the other had a shoulder pad; he also had leg armors and arm ones, and a gi underneath all that. The king smiled once he saw his grandson; he was proud that Gohan grew up to be a fine prince.

"Welcome, Gohan!" Ox king said with a big smile, making the teenager smile too. Nick and John, that were at his side, knelt down behind him in respect for the king and the princess. "Come, take a seat! We have to talk!" Gohan nodded and walked forward, letting his bodyguards behind.

"I read that what we have to discuss is something good for the world, is that true?" He said sitting in front of his grandpa, but it was his mother who answered.

"Where did the reporters hear that? We need to find who is letting out our info." ChiChi said crossing her arms, she was clearly upset. "Anyway, that's true. We'll avoid the war that is eminent." She then smiled, and that made Gohan feel alert somehow.

Why? Because that smile his mother was letting out was the same one she does when he is inside her plans. And that couldn't be good.

"The war with King Radra, the barbarian, from the Kingdom of Indoctus?" He asked unsure if he wanted to know the answer now. ChiChi nodded and crossed her legs, the smile never letting go of her face.

"Exactly." Gohan's eyes went from his mother to his grandpa a few times, and noticed that the second one was no more smiling; another bad sign. "You, my dear son," As she spoke again he looked directly at her. "Are going to marry his daughter, Anna."

John and Nick shared a surprised look, right before looking ahead and see Gohan holding his chair with force – but not enough to break it.

"Wait, what?" He managed to ask besides his initial shock.

"You're getting married. They will arrive tomorrow, and then we'll do a worldwide transmission about it. Of course, following our tradition, both your faces will be covered. The world can only see you two after the marriage that will happen in a few months." She continued to explain, ignoring the disbelief look on her son's face.

"…what? Mom, if we are talking about stopping a war, I can do that with one hand!" He now got up, how could he not be able to choose someone he likes to marry? And worse, how could his mother make him marry at his age?!

"Look at your tone, son." Her look was harsh, but he wouldn't stay quiet.

"Mom! I have no saying on this?! You choose father, why can't I choose my bride?!" He clenched his fists, he was getting angry.

"Well that's…" He looked at the Ox king, who was looking away, ashamed. "It's because of our tradition. Princesses can't take the throne… they can marry anyone but only in rare cases they can rule the country. The princes have this duty." Gohan dropped his hands, disbelief all over his face.

That couldn't be happening.

"Why? Why I never heard of this before?! What if I already have someone I like?!" His two bodyguards exchanged another look, they knew that he was talking about the girl at his school; Gohan had told them about her but never said her name. But it didn't mean that he was lying, they knew he wasn't.

"And does she like you back?" ChiChi asked getting up, to look her son on his eyes; but he was still taller than her. The silence that came from his part was everything she needed.

He didn't know. He never confessed. How could he know? The only thing that he did know was what Vegeta told him once.

"Remember brat, saiyans mate for the rest of their life."

That was why he never confessed.

"I take that as no." ChiChi walked past him, and stopped at his bodyguards. "She'll get here tomorrow morning. Be polite." And then she left the throne room.

Gohan had his head down, his mind racing at the turn of events. Clenching his fists he bit his lower lip to control his growing anger; he didn't want to turn super saiyan there and destroy the room – what he'd surely do with his emotions at the moment.

"Gohan…" The king spoke, but his godson didn't look at him. "I know how you feel. But…" He bent over to get closer to the teenager. "It'll be ok. Even if you don't love her at first, you'll eventually." Gohan looked up at the end, a painful expression that made the soft side of the king come out.

"I'm half saiyan grandpa. I don't work like humans do."

Then he left the room with his two bodyguards following right behind. He needed to cool off.

He woke up in the next morning not as excited as he thought he would. After the news of his engagement he trained on the forest, until he passed out of tiredness. He barely remembers how Nick and John brought him to his room, but he was still using his armor. So that's why he had pain on his body; that or it is consequence of what he did at the night. He groaned as he sat on his bed, and almost at the same time knocks were heard on the door.

"Your Highness, we brought your breakfast." It was the royal cook, who entered after Gohan said he could.

But he didn't eat the huge amount of food right away. For a change he wasn't hungry, and he surely needed a bath. He grabbed his cellphone, noticing it was 7:45am; a sigh came out as he headed for his bath. He immediately jumped inside it and stood underwater until he had to breathe again. He stood there for a long time, thinking about what he'd do from now on; but all he could think was a pair of blue eyes back at Satan City. He closed his eyes, trying to put that aside; he had no choice in that. He could be strong but if his mother wanted him to marry he'd marry. Even he being against it.

He took her husband after all.

She got Goten, but his looks just reminded both of them of Goku. That thinking made he get out of his bath, where was his brother after all? Maybe ChiChi sent him to Bulma, as she didn't want him ruin the engagement ceremony? Sounded just right. After putting his clothes on, he eats the breakfast in a low speed. He was forcing down the food to tell the truth; even though he'd go ahead with the engagement, he still hated that idea and it made his appetite fade. But he also wouldn't waste food. Once he finished his meal he walked to the door; maybe his future fiancé had already arrived. Their kingdom wasn't that far apart.

Indoctus Kingdom. A place known for its barbarians methods, high violence and love for wars. Don't think that the last part was only to neighbor countries, it was even among them. But since a few years ago, King Radra started to feel greed; his inside wars weren't generating enough profit for him, so he started minor wars around his frontiers. That didn't exclude the Ox Kingdom of course. The world noticed what would happen if both kingdoms fall into a deep war, and countless encounters with the world leaders were made. A failed attempt to stop the king's greed.

Gohan understood very well why his mother wanted him to marry his daughter. But he also meant what he told her. If it is a war they want to stop, he can do it effortless. But again, ChiChi was well known as the pacifist princess. Well, he wasn't a pacifist, he was taught to use violence when needed, and he sure would use it in this case; if he had the opportunity.

"Gohan." John's voice echoed into his mind, bringing him back to reality. "You're ok? You opened the door and stood right there for a long time." He asked concerned, but he also knew why the prince was acting like that. Gohan blinked at him before shaking his head.

"Y-Yeah… sorry about that. Did they arrive already?" He asked stretching his arms, trying to relax.

"In fact, they did; half an hour ago." Nick informed him, and he took a deep breath. "Your mother asked us to come and bring you." Gohan nodded, and then the trio walked slowly to the throne room.

The walk was really slow, even for the human bodyguards. When Gohan walked out after hearing the engagement issue, Nick and John tried to reach him so they could talk; but when they did the prince was already letting out all his feelings. The way he did it though wasn't healthful, and to their surprise his master showed up to know what was happening, but after hearing it he left; he said something about letting the prince cool down first.

Well, they thought so too. He was furious and he almost destroyed a good part of the forest.

They came to their senses as once more Gohan was frozen. The teenager stood there, a blank face, looking at the big doors of the throne room. But whatever was going on inside his mind was shook off with a movement of his head, and after a deep breath he opened the doors. Inside only stood King Ox and his mother – and their bodyguards.

"Take a sit, now we can call them in." ChiChi order was firmly and he stepped ahead.

There was a new throne at the right of his grandpa, and that made the king be between the two. Nick and John walked forward, stopping beside his seat; behind the king and the princess stood their respective bodyguards. ChiChi sent someone to bring their guests, while Gohan could only look away with a bored face. But when the door opened, the prince got shocked.

The first to enter was King Radra, a red haired short guy, with a giant gold crown on the top of his head. His green eyes were hard and yet, or somehow, livid; it certainly showed the love for battles and war. His steps were firm, fast, and the devilish smile on his face demonstrated that he had no fear towards his enemies. But what really shocked Gohan was that the princess walking behind him was…

'Videl?!' The surprise took part in his brain, but as soon as a sharp pain in his heart came, his vision blurred. Blinking, in part to hide his pain, and in part to try to find out if that person was really Videl, the prince narrowed his eyes; and there certainly had no Videl in the room. Anna was clearly a beauty, even Gohan could say that much. Her red hair was a cascade until her waist, a beautiful pair of green eyes, as her father's, surely gets the attention of her pale face. On top of her head laid a small crown, but it was silver. The princess looked as enthusiastic as him with the engagement, and when their eyes meet she was fast to avoid the sudden contact.

Despite all that, Gohan couldn't find her attractive for him. Videl was still firmly in his heart.

"Welcome!" King Ox said, causing Gohan and ChiChi to get up. "How was your trip?" King Radra smiled, more if that was possible. Gohan narrowed his eyes at the king, noticing that he was happier with this than ever.

"It was too smoothly, for my liking. I wish I had a little bit of action, if you understand me." Radra said while bowing, showing manners at the Ox King. A fast look at Anna, and Gohan could see her rolling her eyes at her father. 'She seems a bit different from him…' But despite what the short king said, King Ox laughed.

"I used to be like this! But, just enjoy the peaceful time here. We have to introduce the bride and groom, don't we?" Both smiled, but the ones they talked about rolled their eyes.

At least that they had in common: hate for this forced engagement.

King Ox got up from his throne, and was followed by Gohan and ChiChi. Gohan stood behind his grandpa, not sure how to follow the whole situation. Should he go and talk to Anna? Should he greet the barbarian king? He was really lost. What he didn't notice was that Anna was at lost too; the princess was having the same thoughts, but she was more afraid of the Princess ChiChi. That woman was intimidating, it was the only thing she managed to see through the smile she gave them earlier. With both lost in their thoughts, they didn't notice that they were left alone in the throne room, aside of Nick and John, of course.

"Your Highness, you two should go to the dining room now." John said bowing down to Gohan, and that made him go back to reality.

"Oh, yeah, thanks." He said blinking and then looked over to Anna. "I, huh, think we should go after them." The girl looked at him, her green eyes studying his face.

"Ok." Was all she said as she started her walk. Over the way, Gohan looked at her from the closer distance. On her face small freckles could be seen, but it fitted her. As he noticed before, she was indeed a beauty.

"I'm sorry about this." He found himself speaking before he could think, what made he look away from her.

"This?" Anna asked while stopping her walk, making both John and Nick take a few steps behind – they didn't want to overhear what they were talking about. As her face demonstrated confusion, Gohan cleaned his throat before speaking.

"Huh… well… this engagement. I can tell you're not happy with it." He looked away from her again, and lost the funny look she gave him.

"I can tell the same about you." She smiled warmly at him. He chuckled in answer before looking at her.

"Right on the spot." He grinned and she sighed.

"At least I'm happy that you're not an ugly old man. I can live with that." She giggled at the snort he gave her.

"You're not ugly either." She smiled, right before talking again.

"But I can't promise to love you, even in the future." Anna looked down, before continuing. "I already have someone I love." At that Gohan looked away from her. He understood her, but his case was a little bit different.

"Yeah, me too." He then looked at her with the corner of his eyes, seeing that she was smiling at him. He then started to chuckle, and she giggle, and soon both were laughing on the big hallway.

It wasn't a laugh of joy, it was sad to hear. Nick and John didn't hear their talk, but the sadness they were feeling hit them. It was clear that both didn't want to be into that forced relationship, but they had no choice.

When the sound of their laughs faded, both walked to the dining room. They were feeling a little better, now knowing that they felt the same.

And that's it! What do you guys think that will happen?! I loved this concept that came to my mind.

Anyway, let me a review! See you guys soon, here or in The Wanted!
