Chapter 1 Part 1
Lulu and Izaya
Gohan yelped slightly as he dodged a group of woman rushing past him, trying to get to the shoe isle quickly. Thankfully, he didn't drop the bags that were digging into his arms. However, Goku was forced to do a little dance as he tried to balance the ever-growing stack of shoes in his arms. Chi Chi ignored him and a lady at a nearby counter laughed and clapped her hands as she watched him. Goku sighed as he turned to his wife.
"Chi Chi, do you really need all these shoes? I mean, come on, you should be about done with shopping, right? I'm hungry and me and Gohan really want to meet up with Master Roshi and the others!" Goku whined to his wife while Gohan nodded in agreement. She turned to glare at them, teeth bared, and growled.
"No way are we done! I still need to find some clothes for you and Gohan! We won't be seeing Master Roshi and the others for a long time!" She turned her back to them as Goku made a sound of despair. Gohan sighed as he followed his mother.
It was the day after his birthday and, as punishment for blowing his cake in everyone's faces, he was forced to come with his father on a shopping trip. To make it easier for them, though, she had invited most of the Z-fighters. Master Roshi, Krillin, Yamcha, Trunks, Bulma and Vegeta were all asked to tag along, and they had planned on metting up in a plaza inside the city... after the three-hour shopping had come to an end.
Gohan's thoughts came to a stop as he accidentally bumped into someone, knocking both his and their items to the ground.
He yelped as he fell on his rear, and he heard the other person groan. Opening his eyes, he could see other people stare at him as he groaned at the sight of the scattered objects on the marble floor. His roaming eyes came to a stop when he caught sight of a boy, about two years older than him, sprawled on the ground on top of a large bag. The boy sat up and a few hardcover books spilled out of the bag.
"I'm sorry about that!" Gohan said to the boy as he helped him to his knees.
"Ugghhh..." Came his only response. Gohan only realized how hard the boy had fallen when he saw the cut on his lip and a bruise forming on his stomach, which was exposed as the boys shirt had slipped up past his chest. Gohan felt quite guilty as he heard the older boy struggle to catch his breath.
After a minute or so, he was finally breathing normally. Gohan let out a breath of relief as the other boy sat up. He smiled at Gohan and replied, "I-I'm fine. I've gotten worse blows to the stomach before." He began to put his things back in place, as well as some of Gohan's things.
"No- you don't have to do that! It was my fault in the first place!" Gohan quickly began to gather his items, embarrassed that he had forgotten them. The other boy simply shook his head.
"No, I suppose it's both of our faults, since it seems neither of us were paying attention." He smiled at Gohan, to let him know he was being sincere. Gohan smiled back and took this oppurtunity to study the boy. He had short, blackish-purplish shaggy/wavy hair that went a little bit pass his his ears. His eyes were green, and his skin was a ghostly pale. He was wearing what looked to be a school uniform, a lime green blazer over a white button down with a red tie, and tan slacks.
Soon, they both had finished cleaning the mess they made, and stood up.
"Glad that's out of the way," the other boy said as he sighed. Gohan nodded, looking around for his parents. Neither of them were in sight. "So what's your name, anyway?" Gohan turned to the boy opposite of him.
"Oh, um, my name's Gohan. Son Gohan. What's yours?" He offered his hand, feeling that he had been a bit rude. The other boy smiled.
"My name's Izaya. Izaya Gazette. It's nice to meet you." He firmly shook Gohan's hand. They both smiled at each other, and Gohan remembered that Izaya had a cut on his lip.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot to ask, how'd you get that cut? I don't really think you could get one that deep from just falling on the floor..." Izaya's eyes widened slightly, and swept his hand across his mouth, but that brought a look of both pain and realization to his face.
"Ah... I forgot, I was wearing this." He held out his right hand to Gohan so he could see the dragon ring on his middle finger. It was silver with black eyes, and it did indeed look as if it could cut someone.
"It's was a birthday present from my sister. She gave it to me about a year ago. I almost never take it off, I wear it so much I forget it's there until it injures me." He sighed and used the cuff of his sleeve to stop the bleeding.
"Wow... It look's so cool! That sure is a nice thing to give your brother!" Gohan gushed over it, completely forgetting about Chi Chi or Goku. Izaya smiled.
"Thanks. Hey, by the way who are you here with?"
Gohan stared at him, then remembered. "Oh, gosh! I forgot! I'm supposed to be shopping with my Mom and Dad!" He frantically started looking around for them, worried. Izaya chuckled and put his hand on top of Gohan's spiky blond hair.
"Don't worry, if it helps, i'll help you look for them. Seems like i'm not going to be seeing my sister for a while now, anyway. She always runs off without me." He took two of the bags from Gohan's arms and began walking around the store, looking around him. Izaya was a fast walker, so Gohan had to pick up his pace to keep up with him.
"Thanks, but you don't have to do that! You should go look for your sister!" Izaya shushed him and put a finger to Gohan's lips. "Don't worry. We have a meeting place in case one of us gets lost. I have about-" He checked his watch, "-Thirty minutes before we meet up with each other. In the meantime, tell me what your parents look like. I need to know who i'm looking for." He looked at Gohan expectanly, but smiled gently. Gohan smiled back, and described Goku and Chi Chi for him.
"He's so nice! I don't think i've ever met someone in the city this nice!" He slowly looked over at Izaya, and realized that, for a guy, he was quite handsome.
...Oh, God, what was he thinking?
"So, what's this town like? I wouldn't know, i'm only visiting a relative of mine who lives in Shirokawa."
"Uh, to be honest, i'm not too sure either. I live in the 439 East District." Gohan rubbed the back of his head apologetically.
"Sooo... I take it you don't actually live near here?" Izaya waved his hand in a circular motion to show he was confused. Gohan chuckled. "Wow, you are new to Japan." He laughed while Izaya blushed. He was about to say something when someone attacked him from behind.
"There you are!" A girl whispered/shouted in both their ears as she glomped him from behind, knocking some bags to the floor.
"LuLu! What are you doing?" He screeched at her as he attempted to pry her off. Gohan sighed as he bent over to pick up some bags that had fallen to the floor. He was beginning to grow tired of this.
"I've been looking for you everywhere." She quietly replied. Gohan straightened up as took a look at her for the first time.
"The hell are you talking about? I've been looking for you! I was rushing so hard to find you I bumped into this kid! Right, Gohan?" Izaya turned to Gohan for confirmation, but the Son boy was too busy staring wide-eyed at the girl Izaya called Lulu.
She... was absoulutely, undoubtedly, the most adorable girl he had ever seen!
Her long, curly hair was a mily/creamy white that bounced everytime she moved her head. Her skin was just as pale as her brother's, and she was tall and lean. Her face - Oh! Her Face! - was small and round , her blue eyes were big and bright, her lips small and pink. Her clothes were doll-like, the top half of the dress was a metallic blue corset with black buttons running down the front, with white capsleeves loosely stitched onto it. The bottom half was a dark blue pumpkin skirt. Her stockings were tall and pure white, hanging loosely over her harsh black shoes.
He found himself gaxing at her too long and blushed when she stared at him questioningly as Izaya groaned and facepalmed.
"Ok, Ok, Ok, Mr. Obvious, you can stop gawking now, so what if my sister's a freaking china doll? What, you don't have a cute little sister of your own?" Izaya said through clenched teeth. Gohan blushed and mumbled a "No."
"So, this is your sister?" Gohan pointed out awkwardly. LuLu stuck out her hand and greeted him. "What's your name?" She asked monotonously. Gohan shook her hand and replied, "Gohan. Son Gohan. Nice to meet you!" He bowed to her respectfully and, after a moment of staring silently, she did so as well.
"Where have you been? I was worried out of my mind! Do you know how pissed Ben would be if he found out you got lost? He would've nailed my ass to the wall!" Izaya chastised his sister as he once again began scanning the store. LuLu pouted and glared at him.
"I told you I was going back to the bookstore to get my bag, but you weren't listening! You were too busy staring at that girl in the short skirt." She closed her eyes and started massaging her head as she began to walk away from them, shaking her head as Izaya blushed and Gohan sweatdropped. "Honestly, I had no idea you had such a lecherous side to you. Mariya would be upset." Trotted to catch up with her as he motioned for Gohan to follow them.
"But still, you should have made sure I was listening!" He retorted. It seemed as if LuLu had stopped listening as she turned towards Gohan.
"So what were you doing while you were supposedly looking for me?" She asked, gesturing to Gohan. Izaya's eyes suddenly widened as he remembered.
"Oh! Sorry about that Gohan! I forgot I was supposed to be helping you look for your parents!" Izaya immediantly began scanning the store again, despite Gohan's protests.
"No! It's fine, I can look for them myself! You don't have to do that! I don't want you to get in trouble with your parents, if you need to meet up with them or something..." His voice broke off when he saw Izaya's face. It had suddenly become sad and distant, and he hid his eyes from Gohan.
"Ben and Mariya... Are not my parents..." His voice growled out, surprisingly angry. Gohan was taken aback by his new attitude. He looked towards LuLu, hoping she would offer some sort of answer for the sudden change in atmosphere, however she as well had an uncomfortable look in her eyes.
It only lasted for a second though, and she soon returned to her stoic and unemotional mask. "So, you say you are looking for your parents? The sooner they're found, the better, so i'll help." She smiled sweetly at him, to try and lift his confused spirits. Only after Izaya recovered did Gohan smile back, and the three of them went to look for Goku and Chi Chi.
AN/ Well, thats the end of part one. Part two of chapter 1 will continue next next update. I hope you like it so far, even if it's so short. I am warning you now, though, this is a Gohan Darkfic! So it will get sadder later on. Read and review please! If you don't like it, flame away, as long as it's constructive critisism! Have an awesome summer!
