Chapter 9:

"See you later, Mom," Gohan and Mika called as they launched into the air."

"Don't get into any fights!" Chi-Chi called after them.

A very faint "No promises," could be heard in the distance. The weary mother sighed. What courage it took to take care of three saiyans!

Gohan and Mika arrived with time to spare. They spotted Videl storming over to them.

"You learn how to fly yet?" Mika asked casually.

Videl growled. "That is it!" She threw a fist at Mika, who blocked it without even looking at her.

"Think we could get some extra breakfast at the cafeteria today?" she asked, blocking all of Videl's attacks and not even feeling the ones that did hit.

"Sure!" Gohan was always up for extra food. They walked away, leaving Videl seething.

"You guys are so DEAD," Videl growled. "I'm gonna sic my Papa on you!"

Mika and Gohan sat comfortably in class that day, completely ignoring Videl's death glare. Erasa was gushing about how pretty Mika was and how cool Gohan was.

"I mean, Mika's not even on a diet!" Erasa rambled. "But she's got, like, the hottest body ever! And Gohan's so protective of her, and when he wears short-sleeved shirts his arms are the cutest. I think I might ask him out, you know."

Videl's anger doubled. Gohan noticed this and said, "You know, if you keep your face like that, it'll freeze." This was only meant as an innocent suggestion, but his kindness was met with yet another death-glare.

"You should really loosen up, Videl," Erasa said, poking her shoulder.

"Yeah," said Sharpener. "I mean, have you seen Mika? She's totally hot." This was responded to by Mika punching him in the face, yelling, "PERVERT!"

"Y-yeah," said Sharpener, slightly delirious, "She digs me..."

"Hmph!" Mika growled and picked up her things as the bell rang. Gohan held her protectively against him, glaring daggers at Sharpener.

Mika and Gohan raced each other up to the roof (it was a tie, with both insisting that they had won). But they were followed by Videl...and one other person.

"Ready to go?" asked Mika.

"Always," Gohan said, and prepared to fly.

"WAIT!" They were interrupted by Videl running up, with none other than Hercule freaking Satan.

The endless audacity of the man.

"I'm gonna sic my Papa on you two! You should be scared!" Videl roared.

"Oh, we're just terrified," Gohan rolled his onyx—black eyes.

"Yeah," Mika snorted. "What's he gonna do, punch us?"

"Do his famous Satan punch?" Gohan countered.

"PAPA! GET THEM!" Videl ordered.

The idiot rushed at them with his most famous punch. It hit Mika's stomach without a scratch.

"OWOWOWOWOWOWOW!" Mr. Satan held his throbbing hand.

Mika grabbed him by his collar and lifted him up like a sack of flour.

"Listen," she snarled. "We have had enough. Your daughter is being a total b&%# to us have we haven't even done anything to her." She took a deep breath. "Look, what I'm trying to say is that Gohan and I are trying to train for the Tenkaichi Budokai. You should fight me there, where there are rules hindering me from destroying you. And if you do anything to keep us from entering, it won't be pretty."

"Yup," Gohan said. "You might even end up fighting me, and trust me, I won't hold back. You'd be better off fighting Mika."

"Oh, I don't know about that." Mika smirked at the quivering man in her hand.

"Look, we only want peace," Gohan continued. "If your daughter wants to learn to fly, she can come, but if she continues to be as close—minded as this we want nothing to do with her. Nothing at all. We are training for the tournament and we can't afford distractions. Like I said, all we want is peace."

"Want peace my eye!" Videl yelled, rushing at him. Gohan calmly blocked her.

"Now if you'll excuse us," Mika said, looking at her watch (the first electronic in her possession she hadn't managed to destroy), "We have to go now. It's about time for dinner." She dropped Hercule, and she and Gohan blasted off.

And if you listened closely, you could hear wild laughter in the distance. Videl growled.

This.

Meant.

War.

Sorry about the short chapters! I promise you they'll get longer. I mean it!
