The twisted life of gohan
chapter 1: saiyan habits
The full moon was beaming with energy. It's light flowing into a particular man's room. The man stood by the window distracted by its beauty. He was in a foul mood tonight, not wanting company at all. Unfortunately, he was married to the most inquisitive girl he had ever was an arranged marriage. He married the girl for his mother's sake, to keep HER happy. It was never about what HE wanted, always about everyone else.
So here he was, standing by the window, miserable as ever when all of a sudden he felt two arms circle around him in a hug. Snapping out of his daze, he turned to the woman. "What do you want kisara?" he asked, clearly not in the mood for anyone. The woman with the silky dark brown hair raised her brow, her hazel eyes shining. "Geez, someone's grumpy. Anyway, I just came in to tell you that we were invited to a party next week at Kate's. Her boyfriend's throwing it for her birthday, isn't that romantic!" she said, hearts in her eyes. "Yeah, sure, whatever." The man responded. He really didn't want to go to any party but knew if he didn't go, his wife would throw a fit.
Kisara squealed and hugged him tighter, to his dismay. He frowned and shook her off him. Kisara, now aware that she had been shrugged off, looked sad. "You can't avoid me forever you know. Someday, you will give in and fall in love with me. Until then I will do whatever it takes to get you to at least be my friend, gohan." She said with a soft smile and left the room. The man said nothing and just continued to stare at the moon.

'Wow, it's so beautiful.' The woman thought as she gazed at the full moon whose light reflected brightly across her room. A high pitched squeal brought the woman back to reality when her friend rushed over. Alarmed, she turned to her friend. "Erasa! What's wrong?" she asked. Her blonde friend ignored her and continued to jump up and down in front of her out of excitement. "VI! You will never believe what just happened! We just got invited to the second most popular girl at USC's party!" (A/N: university of Satan city) Erasa exclaimed. The woman, now annoyed at her friends bubbliness walked over to her. "Kate's throwing a party again? What's it for this time?" "well, technically sharpie is throwing it for her but it's her birthday and she invited us. We are definitely going." Erasa said giving her friend the biggest smile ever. She knew her friend hated parties but she tried to act stern anyway.
The woman was really irritated now. Ever since her family split up, she had been forced to go to silly parties with her father, only to give him more spotlight. She didn't have a lot of true friends who didn't like her for her money but rather for herself, just sharpener and Erasa. She rolled her eyes and looked at Erasa. "Fine, but we are NOT staying long, got it?" with another squeal, Erasa jumped on her friend. "Oh, Vi! I love you!" she said. The woman pushed her friend off her. "ugh, get off me. You know I hate all that mushy crap!" she said to her friend. Erasa laughed at her friend. She walked over and put her arm around the woman. "Oh, Videl. My sweet, sweet Videl. One day, someone will come along, win over your heart and then, you will only want all that mushy crap." Erasa said mockingly, laughing her head off. The woman just stared at her friend thinking, 'is there really someone out there for me?'

Chichi loved these moments. Just her and her husband, relaxing on the bed. No children, chores and definitely no aliens trying to blow earth up. It was just them. Unfortunately that moment didn't last long because, just as she was enjoying the moment, her husband got up. Confused, she watched as her husband walked over to the room window. "What's wrong Goku? Why'd you get up all of a sudden?" she asked a bit concerned. "It's gohan. I'm worried about him." Goku replied looking spaced out. Chichi sighed and got up. She walked over to her husband and put a hand on his shoulder. "You've been worried about him ever since he's gotten married. What is it? Do you not like kisara?" she asked, taking note of her husband's worried expression. Goku turned to chichi. "No, no. it's not like that. It's just that, saiyans have certain mating instincts and it affects them badly on a full moon. Especially at gohan's age. It's to tell that saiyan that he's ready for a mate. He has been married for 2 months now and I haven't even sensed intimacy between the two of them. Don't you think that's strange? Do you know will happen if he doesn't develop affection toward kisara?" goku asked, looking his wife dead in the eye. She shook her head slowly and fearfully. Goku sighed. "His saiyan side would try taking over and he might do something he will regret later." He said his head hanging low. Chichi gasped in horror. Guilt swept over her suddenly. "t-then why didn't h-he say anything before marrying her?" she asked. Goku picked his head up. "To keep you happy, chi .To keep us happy. You know he wouldn't do anything to disappoint you and you seemed so eager to get him married." "I was just doing that to keep him happy. He needed a companion to be there for him. I-I didn't mean to-"she couldn't finish without tears in her eyes. Goku smiled softly and wiped the tears off her cheek with his thumb. Quickly, he pulled her in for a hug. "Shh, it's ok. We will fix this together, ok?" he said softly, trying to soothe her. She could only nod in his chest. Goku looked out the window once more. He could only focus on one thing. The full moon.

The cool, fresh air really helped him at times like this. It's not the first time this happened. This…pain that shot through his whole body. He couldn't control it. He didn't even know what IT was. All he knew was that he needed to get out of the house immediately. It was times like this that he really missed living in the mountains, where there was peace and quiet. The city was a bit much for him but after a while he learnt to cope with it.
After taking a small stroll around the block, he was met with a small ice cream stand that had two girls in front of it. One was blonde and looked bubbly, while the other caught his attention. She had the darkest hair he had ever seen and the most beautiful cerulean eyes. She seemed angry as she was yelling at the blonde girl. Walking up to them he caught their conversation. "How the hell could you bring me to an ice cream stand with no money, you idiot! You could've told me, I would have-"she was cut off by someone paying the bill.

"How the hell could you bring me to an ice cream stand with no money, you idiot! You could've told me, I would have-"she stopped in her tracks when she saw someone else paying. The man seemed calm. He had dark, black hair and eyes to go with it. His skin was pale and he had the face of a god. It was the most attractive person she had ever seen. She snapped out of her buzz quickly as she confronted the man in front of her. "Excuse me? What the hell do you think you're doing?" she said sternly, looking at the man dead in his eyes. "Oh, hi! I couldn't help but overhear your conversation and thought I could help." The man said with a wide grin and his hand behind his head. Getting a little angry, the woman raised her voice a little. "Well, sorry but I don't accept anything from strangers. Who do you think you are just walking up here, paying for things like it's your business?! Leave now or you will regret it." The man looked stunned for a moment and then looked amused. "Wow, you really have spirit. I was just trying to help. I was taking a stroll around the block and bumped into you guys so I thought 'hey, why not help.' I'm sorry if I angered you by helping." He said smiling. Before she could say anything, her friend took over. "oh, not at all kind sir! We understand, you were just trying to help. You must forgive my friend Videl here, she can get a little edgy at times. Thank you very much for paying. We will repay the debt…someday, if we meet again." The blonde said with the cutest expression she could muster. "By the way, what's your name?" she asked. The man turned to her and said, "Gohan. Anyway, I need to get back. It was nice meeting you." And he walked away leaving the two girls behind.
