A/N: I am sorry to say that I have been a horrible updater. It's been almost a little more than a year since I've updated any of my stories. I would like to say that something horrible happened in my life that led to this. As maybe ya'll would excuse that behavior, but i'll tell you no nothing of the sort happened it is just that I didn't feel like updating didn't feel the writing thus I didn't. Hopefully you will not punish my work because of this and I hope I can update more and make it up. Thank you for everything and review so I can know ya'll opinions.

Ch. 6: White Knight, Black King
"Oh well thanks Gohan, that is very sweet of you to say. I bet your girlfriends really lucky to have someone like you," Erasa commented.
Gohan looked blankly at her for a couple of moments. Erasa hadn't known what it was she said that could have gotten such a reaction from him. So she stared awkwardly back at him for what seemed like eternity. Gohan didn't react back to her for a couple of more seconds before his face expressed what can only be interpreted as pure confusion. He's looked utterly puzzled by her comment and she could only think that maybe it was the cutest thing she had ever seen in her life. His brow was furrowed and his eyes shown with innocence that she had never encountered in someone before. It was too different than what she had seen in him these last few minutes they had been talking, she didn't know what to think of this new Gohan other than maybe there was a lot more to this boy, no this man, that she imagined. She knew that if she was interested in him before that now she couldn't deny that she had to get to know him. She had never had a friend like him, he was new and interesting, he was something that was so far from what she was used to in only the few minutes that she has met him that she couldn't think of him not being her friend. She was cut from her inner workings by his confused voice.
"What are you talking about? What girlfriend?" Followed by a more confident and joking, "We just met Ermosa, your beautiful and from what I gathered so far a personality I wouldn't mind knowing more about, but we got to slow it down. Don't want to move to fast, lets get to know each other more before we get too serious."
Erasa only had time to look up before blushing a little pink then glare at his smirking form. "That's not what I meant and you know it. Besides what makes you think you can ever get with this? Just look at me, why would I, a queen, give you a mere peasant the time of day," she finished teasingly and glaring playfully. He then put his right hand over his heart, acting hurt.
"But Your Highness, I am hurt with your words, since I am not a mere peasant, but in fact a handsome white knight, at you service." He replied in fake British accent, mockingly tipping his invisible hat before taking a bow and more than a little smug for her tastes. She raised her right eyebrow at him then replied in fake accent herself, ''Well while it is good to know that I have not been speaking to someone of such lowly class, Sir Gohan , I must insist upon the fact that while most little royals love their Prince Charming's and White Knight's as you yourself are. I am not most royals thus, I have to inform you that my preference comes of the Black King variety."
They then began to laugh at their argument a little too loudly as Mrs. Bothwell turned her attention to them. "As I am pleased to see that Mr. Son has made himself comfortable with the students, I have to ask you to not interrupt me again or there will be consequences. And Erasa please stop flirting with him during class and pay attention." Erasa was more than a little embarrassed by her comment of them and hurt. It's not even like that why do people assume I am flirting with him instead of just making friends. If it was Vi she would have never assumed something like that.
Her hurt might have been apparent because next thing she knew Gohan was defending her with an angered expression. "Mrs. Bothwell with all do respect, I don't think that's fair. Erasa wasn't flirting with me, we were just laughing at a joke she said and I think that you shouldn't be making assumptions of your students like that. I think you owe her an apology." He finished face hard and voice firm, it was more of an order than it was a suggestion.
Mrs. Bothwell just looked shocked and a little scared of his voice than I think she would of liked to be. "Now Mr. Son while I appreciate your sense of honor and will admit that maybe I was a little quick to judge, I do not like being ordered to do something in my own classroom by a student." She then glared at Gohan as she remembered that she was in charge and it wouldn't be good for her if she was undermined by a student, she was boss after all.
"Well, Ma'am I never ordered you to do anything, it was a mere suggestion and I do believe it is best that you do apologize. You wouldn't want the school to think that maybe you are biased to your students and don't care that your comments hurt them, or worse your spreading rumors along that are hurting said students reputations. I do believe that is considered unethical, no?" He said, making it sound a lot more like a threat than it was supposed to. But then again Erasa though that maybe it really was meant to sound that way judging by the look in Gohan's eyes. It was more of a promise of what was to come if his "suggestion" wasn't met.
Mrs. Bothwell paled a little at his threat, looking around the room she saw that all of her students were paying this debate a lot more attention that any lesson she has ever given. Some were looking at Gohan in awe like he was some king of god sent to them from another world, others were looking at her to see if she would brake. She couldn't help, but think that high school students were some of the most sadist group of people anyone could encounter. They could give anyone there unbreakable loyalty only to see what happens in their lives before they ruthlessly, without mercy watch and participate in bringing them to the lowest level a human can get. They would enjoy someone else's misery with the compassion of a psychopath only to go home after the deed was done as if nothing had ever happened. She knew that while she could care less about what they thought of her, if Gohan carried out his treat the little psycho's would find away to make it reach the top (principal) and ruin her life.
With all that in mind she came to a decision as she regained her composure, she stood straighter, glared at Gohan with something that was meant to come across as dangerous, but only really looked as spooked, did she turn her attention to Earsa.
"Erasa I would like to apologize for what I said earlier, it was not my intention to cause you any discomfort, and now I know that I was to quick to make assumptions and comments. I hope you can forgive me?" She apologized with a fake smile and sincerity. Erasa just looked at her startled and more that a little smug at her horrible fake apology. Figuring that beggars couldn't be choosers and that that was the best she was gonna get, she gave her a smirk, and accepted her apology.
She then turned back to Gohan who was looking at her with a smirk all of his own. If she knew the Prince of the Saiyans she would have noticed the canning resemblance and though just like his mother and sometimes himself though he would never admit it out loud that he has been spending to much time with Vegeta.
"Thank you Gohan, you have no idea how much this means to me. I am so tiered of everyone always thinking of me as some dumb blonde who only cares about boys, the mall, and her nails. It's good to know that someone doesn't." She replied with a sincere grin. Gohan's eyes just softened at her comment and nodded at her before breaking out in a full Son grin. It made him look younger and if it were possible even more handsome, it was like that look of pure innocence and confusion she had seen before. In one word all she could say was that it was pure.
"No need to thank me, I didn't like that she hurt you. No one hurts the people I care about and gets away with it," he stated with a fierce look in his eyes. It made her so happy that he implied he cared for her and that he would protect her if the occasion arose.
"You care about me? But we just met."
"I know that, but I think your a good person and I know that as time goes on we will get close. I'm a good judge of character and I know you won't dissapoint."
She then gives him a half hug because of the chairs which surprises him but hugs back as best he could. She then breaks the hug and looks at him again before getting a mischievous smile on her face.
"You know you were wrong?"
He looks confusedly at her a second before asking her, "About what?"
She then grins broader and smirks, "Well considering the way you just practicably threatened a teacher on your first day of school for a girl you just met had me thinking."
"About?" he asked wearily.
"You of course!" She exclaims. "You said that you were a White Knight but a White Knight wouldn't do what you did. He would just deny any involvement to defend my honor and if push came to shove have an honorable duel with the offender."
Gohan looked even more lost, "Isn't that what I just did?"
"Nope" she said popping the P. "You more like publicly blackmailed her to get what you wanted, not a very chivalrous and White Knight-y thing to do. So I have to think that you my oh-so-not-innocent friend aren't a White Knight." She finished looking smug and oh so proud of herself.
"Well if I'm not a White Knight than what am I Your Highness?" he replied mockingly.
She simply said with finality and confidence
"Black King"
What they didn't know was that a certain raven-haired beauty was watching the whole exchange in what can only be described as totally freaken pissed. Videl Satan just added even more reason for her to completely destroy him.
