Oh yeah!Almost 10 reviews and I just started. Thank you guys so much *sniffs*I love you guys almost as much as I love me!Just kidding, I'm not really that self absorbed. If you love Sasuke, I'm sorry, I might bash him a bit this chapter as I am making it up as I go along. I'm also sorry if it gets a bit...emotional. Well, that's a big enough rant from me.

'How long until dawn?' Sasuke thought. 'We were fighting all night!' Sasuke refused to think about Gohan practically beating Bojack single-handed, albeit minor help from Piccolo. Gohan, who was only Sasuke's age, had displayed enormous amounts of power, that he was sure wasn't chakra. And he was sure that the being Gohan fought could have destroyed cities, maybe even the planet. 'No,' Sasuke thought angrily. 'No one is that strong.' Ah. Poor Sasuke. Should have met Brolly, who Gohan was actually stronger than. He would find out how Gohan got his power, one way or another.

Trunks smiled as his opponent missed him again. Honestly, this guy was pathetic. He had spent a good ten minutes ranting on about how he was a clone of 'Garlic Jr,' and how he was going to annihilate Trunks. Trunks absent mindlessly caught a punch, and, deciding enough is enough, brought the arm down on his knee, breaking it. The clone howled in pain. "Learn your lesson, and don't come back ." Trunks said. He walked away, but turned around quickly as he felt a familiar ki approaching. "Father!No!" he shouted in desperation. But it was to late, as the clone of Garlic Jr was caught in a storm of energy. "What the hell, father!Why the hell did you do that?" Trunks shouted at his father. Vegeta stared at him "I was getting rusty." he simply said before flying off. Trunks shook his head, and decided to fly to the Kame House.

Sasuke tapped his foot impatiently. After everyone had flown in to the Kame House , Roshi began recounting the Z-Fighters tale. He started at he very beginning, at back when Goku was a kid, after explaining to Team 7 who he was. When Naruto asked where this Goku was, who he now knew as Gohan's father, Roshi hesitated. While looking over at a suddenly downcast Gohan, Roshi said he would get to that. Sasuke noticed how all the Z-fighters, not just Gohan, looked sad. He smirked inwardly. Maybe, this wouldn't be so bad, after all. (A/N:Bastard.)

Sasuke had to keep him self from laughing. Not only had he learnt about the full power of the Dragon Ball's, he had also learned all of the Z-Fighters back-stories. He was especially enjoyed hearing Gohan's, about all the suffering he'd had. The fact that his father had died twice gave the raven haired ninja some...leverage over Gohan. 'Serves him right,' Sasuke thought. 'For insulting the Uchiha name.' Gohan attempted a smile. "It's all in the past now, though," he forced out. "It doesn't matter anymore."

Naruto felt awkward. When Gohan risked his life to save his and Sakura's last night, he had truly begun thinking of Gohan as a friend that one could only hope for. And now, his new-found friend looked like he was on the verge of crying. He wondered why no one was comforting the boy, until he looked up and saw all the Z-Fighters had similar expressions.

Sakura didn't know what to do. The Earth's Special Forces looked positively depressed (however that worked) and were all to wrapped up in their own thoughts and memories of Goku to notice poor Gohan finally cracking. Tears started slipping down his face. Looking at Naruto, who looked back and nodded, she walked up to Gohan and hugged him. Naruto followed close behind and put his hand on Gohan's shoulder. Which was weird, as Naruto didn't really show understanding in these sorts of situations.

Sasuke almost groaned. The only thing that stopped him was the kunai that Kakashi held behind his back. Well, he hoped it was a kunai. But really, if Gohan was a real warrior, he wouldn't be acting like a baby. What kind of fighter let his emotions run wild? Coincidentally, Sasuke 'forgot' about how he reacted to his clans death. He looked away and huffed.

Gohan broke away from his little group hug, only slightly embarrassed. "So," he started. "Do you guys want to stay at our house? It would be a good chance to tell mum about you and introduce you." Kakashi forced an eye smile. "Only if it's okay with your mother." Gohan started to sweat a little. He managed to get out. "Uh...I'm sure that would be...fine?" The four ninja didn't miss Gohan's uneasiness.

'Why does he seem so nervous.' Kakashi wondered.

'Oh no,' Gohan thought worriedly. 'What's Mum gonna think of Naruto? He's so loud and she has a really short temper, and that's a really bad combination. Maybe I should of asked Bulma if they could stay there...'

Mt. Paozu...

"I'll get it, Chi-Chi!" The Ox-King yelled out to his daughter. He opened the door to reveal a slightly worried looking Gohan and four people standing behind him. "Gohan! Chi Chi, Gohan's back! Oh, and he's brought guests. Please, come right on in." There was definitely no denying that the Ox King was happy to see his grandson. "Good to see you as well, grandpa." Gohan said happily. As Gohan walked in, the four guests hung outside the door. Well, three of them did. "Nice place you got here," Naruto said as he walked in the door. "It's a bit small, though. Not that I mind, 'cause my own apartment isn't that big anyways. Ooooh, you look like you got a lot of food. Speaking of which, what's for lunch? Ooooh, is it ramen? Please please please please be ramen!"

The other three ninja had just stepped into the house when they sensed a malicious presence. "Be on your guard," Kakashi said quietly to the other two genin still by his side. "I feel something filled with rage approaching."

Gohan saw the shadow looming over Naruto first. 'Oh no!' Gohan thought worriedly. 'This is bad, really, really bad!'

Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura all saw the shadow behind Naruto. 'Damn it!' Kakashi thought wildly.

"Naruto!"

"Mother!"

"Mother?"

*BOING*

"Ouch!"

Naruto lay on the floor, cradling the angry red lump on his head. "Owwwwww..." he moaned. "It...huuurts..." The other ninja of Team 7 stood gaping at the weapon that had taken a ninja down. Well, Naruto down. It was a...frying pan?

"Motheeeer!" Gohan said, his face a bright red. "What?" Chi Chi snarled. "This delinquent comes into my house like he owns it and expects to get away with it? Well I'll tell you something now, young man," she said pointing at Naruto. "You ever do that again, and it won't be just your head that will be sore. You'll never have children again!You here me?" Naruto cowered away. "Yes, ma'am."

After a more formal introduction, Chi Chi calmed down a bit and decided to make everyone lunch, including Naruto. Team 7 soon learned that Chi Chi was not a woman to be messed with, and gave her a lot of respect. Kakashi was to scared to pull out his favourite book, just in case she was against his 'reading material.' Before she could prepare, however, she told Gohan to get more supplies. As Gohan left, Chi Chi started cooking up lunch. "I thought you said that there wasn't enough for lunch," Sakura said as Chi Chi began laying down bundles of food. "That is why you sent Gohan out, isn't it?" Chi Chi smiled. "There isn't enough." she said, confusing Team 7.

Chi Chi smiled as Naruto finished eating. "It's good to see you've calmed down." Naruto smiled. "Yeah, and I could say the same about you!" he said, temporarily forgetting who he was speaking to. "What was that?" Chi Chi said flashing him a dangerous look. "Um...Uh..." 'Oh no,' Naruto thought hurriedly. 'Think Naruto, think!" Naruto decided that the best way to save his life was to compliment his possible murderer. "Uh...I said you were a great cook!" he rushed out. Chi Chi smiled. "That's what I thought you said." As soon as Chi Chi finished her sentence, a slightly wet Gohan came in, carrying a huge, bulging sack. (A/N:Heh heh heh.) "Hey guys. I got some more lunch. What did I miss?"

As nightfall came, Chi Chi decided to let Team 7 stay at her house. Gohan would sleep with Goten, Team 7 would sleep in the main room and Chi Chi would sleep in her usual spot. Goten only slept when Gohan was in the same room as him. To prevent having to wake up in the night, Chi Chi simply made Gohan sleep in the same room as his two year old brother. Not that Gohan minded, of course.

Gohan knew he had to be quiet. If he wasn't, his mother could wake up. If she woke up an saw what he was doing, he wouldn't be able to sit straight for weeks. His mother wold be very angry if she saw him training. After fighting Cell and Bojack, Gohan decided that he would never stop training, even if he had to do it in secret. The world depended on him now. He wasn't going to negate his duties, for example, stopping to train for say, seven years. Gohan almost laughed at that thought. 'Yeah,' he thought merrily. 'Like that would ever happen!'

After everyone almost vomiting at the sight of Gohan eating breakfast, Chi Chi announced she going over to Capsule Corp. for 'girl stuff' or something. "...And no training while I'm gone!" Chi Chi shouted as her dad flew her off in his hovercar. "Right," Kakashi said, watching the hovercar fly off into the distance. "How about we get to some training?"

"All right team," Kakashi said standing in front of the huge lake. "It's time you learnt Suimen Hokō no Gyō (A/N:Is that the right name?) or, 'the art of walking on water.' Now this is similar to your tree climbing jutsu, only much harder..." Gohan watched on with interest as Kakashi began explaining the basics of how to walk on water. The ninja were definitely not using ki. "Okay, I've told you what to do, now for you to go out and do it!" Kakashi finished. "Right!" Team 7 replied. Gohan walked over to Kakashi. "Hey Kakashi, what's 'chakra?'" Kakashi looked at Gohan funnily. "You don't no what chakra is?" he asked. "Not a clue," Gohan replied. "Should I know?" Kakashi thought for a bit. "Hmm..." Kakashi said remembering what he saw of Gohan's fight with Bojack. "No...I don't think you should." Kakashi paused, then spoke again. "To put it simply, chakra is a combination of one's physical and spiritual energy. We ninja mold and channel chakra using hand seals. That is how we use jutsu." (A/N: Someone please tell me if that's wrong.) "Oh. I see." Gohan said. "I use ki." Kakashi stepped back.

"Ki? Your life energy? Are you crazy? Do you have any idea what can happen if you use ki to much?"

"Yes no and yes." Gohan replied. "Look, I'll explain how I can use it without dieing later. Oh, and can Naruto swim? 'Cause if he can't, then you might want to give him a hand." With that, Kakashi turned around to see one Naruto floundering in the lake. "Help me! I can't swim!Wait, hold on a sec... " Naruto said. "Yes I can."

Sakura was the first to finish the exercise. Almost as soon as Kakashi came over to give them a few tips, she got it. "That's good, Sakura," Kakashi started. "Now you can go help Naruto and Sasuke while I have a little chat with Gohan..." As Sakura walked off to attempt to help the boys e.g. Naruto begging her to help him, Sakura ignoring him asking Sasuke if he wanted any help and Sasuke ignoring her, Kakashi walked back to Gohan. "Okay Gohan, now you can explain to me how you are still alive." Kakashi asked. Gohan sighed. "Putting it really simply, I'm not tapping into my life force directly, more so tapping into a kind of 'latent energy.' That will do as an explanation for now." Gohan said sternly. "Anyway, I thought Master Roshi told you all about us? If what you thought was true, about ki eventually killing you, wouldn't Master Roshi be dead?" Kakashi sighed, much like a little kid being lectured by a parent or teacher. "I s'pose."

The following day...

The Z-Fighters were gathered round the Kame House. "Okay, we all know what we are doing. Let's fan out and find those Dragon Ball's!"Gohan said. As the Z-Fighters blasted off in blue and white aura's, Gohan turned towards Team 7. "Right, we'll be back soon. Soon you'll get to see the Eternal Dragon for yourselves!" And with that, Gohan shot off.

True to his word, Gohan returned fairly quickly, holding a orange sphere with four red stars inside it. Team 7 looked at it with wonder. 'So that's a Dragon Ball,' Sasuke thought. 'Soon I will be strong enough to kill him.' Gohan placed the ball on the ground. "The others will be back soon. I sense there ki." Gohan stated.

Krillin was the last to arrive. "Geez, Krillin, we were waiting for you. Now we have to go find the last ball, which I might add, we would've had by now if we weren't waiting for you." Yamcha complained. Krillin smirked in a very un-Krillin like way. "Always quick to open your mouth, right Yamcha?" Krillin took his hands from behind his back. "We don't need to fly off to find the last ball, 'cause I already got it." Yamcha turned away, embarrassed. "Uhhh..." "Yeah! Go Krillin!" Gohan shouted, pumping a fist in the air. "Hey Krillin! Because you got the last ball, how about you summon the dragon?" Gohan asked. Krillin smiled. "That sounds like a good idea. Thanks, buddy." Krillin lowered his hands towards the seven sphere's. "Okay, here goes. Shen-"

Gohan looked on with shock as the thin beam passed through Krillin's chest. Krillin staggered to his knee's. "Krillin!" Gohan shouted, running over to his long time friend. Blood splattered from Krillin's chest as he looked up at a teary Gohan. "Goodbye...old pal...you...you know what...to...do..." With that final line, the light in Krillin's eyes faded away. "KRILLIN!" Gohan looked up to wear the beam had originated from. He stood up and stared coldly at the smirking figure.

"How many times do we have to get rid of you...Frieza..."

Sorry that I didn't get this out quick enough. And it is also more of a 'filler' chapter. Things have been a pretty chaotic here, as you'll probably know by my previous update. Moving on, I have now got a poll up to see who Gohan should be paired with, if anyone. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Also, check out the story TWO WORLDS MEET by The Saiyan God. I don't really like advertising, but I think new authors could use a little advertisement here and there. What about you?

Kia Kaha to the rest of Christchurch,
