Chapter 11 - WHAT?
Once I followed Master Roshi inside, he sat on the couch with a sigh while Launch chopped some vegetables and hummed a little song. I sat on the ground and laid my sketchbook on the table. I spent my time drawing some sketches and doodles while time passed.
A thought came to my mind and I stood up, "Master, I'm going to take a bath, okay?"
Master Roshi absently nodded, "Sure, take your time." he stared at Launch.
I sighed and rolled my eyes. Oh, great. This is the part where he tries to grope her. As much I respect him, I couldn't help but think of him as a creep. Eh, he'll never get a chance to grope Launch. I took some clothes and my towel in my bag and headed to the bathroom upstairs.
After putting aside my clothes and all, I showered and sighed in content. Once I cleaned my body, I filled the tub with warm water and some lemon-scented soap. For a minute, it got filled and I grinned.
"Aaaaaah~ That's the stuff," I breathe in the lemon scent and couldn't help but smile in content.
Lemons smell so good, they even taste good if you mix it with salt. That reminds me, does Master have any lemons or limes in the fridge? I missed eating some sliced lemons/limes. What should I mix with them,? Salt or honey?
While I was in my thoughts, thinking about lemons and limes, I heard a muffled yell outside. Must be Krillin. I giggled at this and swam around the tub for a bit before I changed into some new clothes. I stared myself in the mirror while I comb my wet hair.
I was wearing a blue blouse with some black, knee-length pajama-pants. After I combed my hair, I walked out with my wet towel in hand and heard Krillin's voice.
"I got it!"
THUMP!
"Did you time this?" Master Roshi yelled.
I giggled and once I arrived in the living room, I saw Master staring at the rock that Krillin gave.
"Well, what do you know. This one's real. Good job, Krillin. You've redeemed yourself," he praised the young monk.
Krillin bowed and thanked him with a smug look. I rolled my eyes and went outside to hang my towel dry.
While I was outside hanging my towel on the clothes hanger, I heard running footsteps behind me. I began to feel paranoid, thinking it was Slenderman or Jeff the Killer. I turned around and to my relief, I see Goku running in my direction.
"Sweet Marioseph," I muttered. Thank above, it's him. I really don't want to face any Creepypastas even though they're not real.
"Lea! Did Krillin give the stone to Master Roshi?" Goku asked with wide eyes and panting breaths.
I nodded, "Yep, Krillin stole it from you, huh?" I said.
"Yeah," he nodded. "Great! Now I won't eat supper."
I patted his head, "Don't worry, Goku. Now let's go inside."
Master Roshi and Krillin laughed while Launch sat with them with the food on the table. Goku stood beside me with a hungry and tortured expression on his face. I sat beside him and chuckled at his cute look, while I ate a bowl of rice with some soy sauce and listened to 'Dear Evan Hansen' album.
"Do you like it?" Launch asked Master once he ate the stew.
He gave out a laugh, "You bet!"
Krillin offered to give more sake to Master, making the old man agree. Master Roshi turned to Launch, giving her compliments and his thanks.
"Just thank the fish," Launch smiled
Everybody laughed while Goku started to drool while his stomach grumbled. I rubbed his back comfortingly and finished my rice.
"Kaya mo 'to, bes. [You can do this, bestie]" I muttered in my native tongue.
I shivered when Master and Krillin ate the stew again. I kinda feel bad for not stopping them, but blame me. I have paranoid issues, if I change the future too much. Trouble will start. The future was meant to be unpredictable since this world is real. It's not my job to interfere and to make the future seem predictable.
"Yummy! What's in this tasty stew?" Master said.
Launch hummed in thought, "Let see... What did that man call it? Oh, it's a pufferfish."
Master Roshi and Krillin froze and stared at her with shocked looks.
"A-Aren't they poisonous?"
The two males dropped their chopsticks, I sat and watched them held their stomachs in pain while Launch started to whimper and blaming herself that she didn't know.
I walked up to her and patted her shoulders, "Launch-nee-san, it's okay. Besides, they didn't eat too much. They'll be fine." I assured.
She nodded and frowned. I hugged her and assured her it was fine, I told her to throw away the Pufferfish stew while I treated the two men. I made a makeshift bed for Master and Krillin to lie down on.
I sighed while they groaned in pain. I'm surprised that they can survive the Pufferfish poison since it can kill thirty adults.
I decided to make a bowl of rice for Goku, when I gave it to him. He stared at me confused.
"I thought I can't eat supper," he said.
I scoffed, "Master is sick, so you don't need to worry. Eat your rice before they realize I fed you." I pointed the groaning males.
Goku's eyes brightened and he nodded, "Thanks Lea!" he ate his rice like an animal and I giggled.
The next morning came, Master Roshi decided to skip today's training since he and Krillin are still sick from the poison. So, Leanne and Goku decided to play tag outside together.
"Tag, you're it!" Leanne squealed and ran.
Goku grinned and ran after her. The two laughed while Leanne hid behind one of the trees, she covered her mouth and checked if her Saiyan friend is around.
Nope, no sign of him.
She giggled until two hands touched her shoulders. Leanne screamed and turned to see Goku grinning mischievously.
"Now you're it," he smiled and ran away from her.
Leanne growled playfully and ran after him. Their laughter sounded in the air while they chased each other around. While she ran, the young girl ended up tripping on a small rock and fell to the ground with a yelp. Goku's eyes widened and he rushed to her side.
"Lea, are you okay?"
Leanne nodded and winced a bit, "Y-Yeah... I just got a graze on the knee, that's all." she looked down to see her scraped knee. The young girl held up her arms to Goku, "Can you help me up?"
He nodded and put her arm around his neck, Leanne stood up shakily, but she managed to regain control of her legs.
She pecked Goku's forehead, "Thanks, bud."
He nodded with a small smile.
"Excuse me?"
The two kids turned to see a man, Leanne eyed his dark hair and analyzed him.
The stranger had most of the Filipino appearance traits. Dark brown hair, tanned skin, and brown eyes like her. Not only that, his attire is simple. A simple light blue shirt, khaki pants, and some sneakers.
He got this look on him that says 'Lost' and while Leanne looked closer at his appearance. It looks like he got some features on him.
"He must be one-fourth or half Spaniard, his tan skin is a bit light than mine and he got some features of the Spanish." Leanne stared closely, "he almost looks like this guy in Zoro. What's his name again? Antonio Bandana?" she scratched her head.
"Do you know where I could find Master Roshi, children?" the stranger asked them.
Goku and Leanne blinked, the Saiyan smiled and nodded. "Yeah, in fact. We live with him."
The man's eyes widened, "I see, so you must be his students, correct?" he knelt on one knee.
The two nodded. Leanne gave him a suspicious stare in her mind, why does he look so familiar?
The man noticed her stare and gave her a soft smile. Leanne blushed, turned her head away, and held Goku's hand.
"We can take you to Master Roshi if you want," she muttered.
"That will be great. Thank you," the stranger smiled.
The two kids walked with the stranger to Kame House, while Leanne held Goku's hand. She stared up to the man beside them.
"So what's your name, mister?"
He averted his eyes to her, "Micheal, what's yours, little lady?"
"Leanne," she replied and pointed Goku, "this is my friend, Goku."
Goku nodded, "Uhuh!" he grinned widely.
The three arrived to Kame House in time, Leanne walked up to the door and knocked, calling Launch's name. After three seconds, the door opened, revealing the sweet blunette. Launch stared at Leanne and blinked.
"Leanne, you're back. Are you and Goku done playing?" she smiled.
The little girl nodded, "Yep, also, we brought a guest." she pointed Micheal behind her.
Launch looked behind the child and saw a man with a grinning Goku. Mucheal cleared his throat, stepped forward, and bowed..
"Hello, miss, my name is Micheal and I'm here for Master Roshi. Is he here for the moment?" he asked with a polite tone.
"Yes, except he's a bit sick today. Would you like to come in?" Launch gestured to the door.
Micheal nodded, "Yes. Thank you, miss."
The kids followed and Launch told them she would be upstairs bathing. Once she left, Micheal saw Krillin and Master Roshi in the living room with their makeshift beds.
"Master Roshi, there's someone here looking for you." Leanne ran beside the hermit.
He groaned, "R-Really, at a time like this—You're here already?" Master Roshi screamed, seeing Micheal in the room.
Micheal laughed sheepishly and rubbed the back of his head, "Yeah, how's it going, master?"
The hermit sat up, "N-Not good." he said with a rough edge in his voice.
Micheal sat beside Master Roshi while Goku and Leanne blinked and stared at them curiously.
"Master Roshi, do you know him?" Leanne spoke up, feeling a bit shocked.
"Yes, i-in fact." the hermit coughed, "Micheal h-here used to be my student."
"Ehhh, nani?" I screamed and held my head in shock.
Master Roshi has a third student? That's impossible, he was supposed to have two students, not three. Also, this guy looks like he's in his twenties.
I saw Micheal's look turned sheepish and chuckled, "That's true."
I gawked and Goku stared in awe, "Wow! So you must know my Grandpa Gohan too."
"Yeah, and I'm guessing you're Son Goku, huh?"
"Yep,"
"Hmm, Gohan told me a lot about you when he visited my home. He spoke quite proudly about you,"
"Really?" Goku leaned with a happy look.
Master Roshi coughed loudly, breaking the friendly atmosphere between the two males. Micheal turned to his former teacher with a worried look.
"O-Oh, I forgot. Would you like me to heal you, master?" he said.
I blinked before giving the man a flabbergasted expression and froze.
Heal?!
Master nodded, "Y-Yes, please. M-Make sure to help my s-student here too." he coughed.
"Alright,"
Micheal laid his hands on the hermit's shoulders and I stared in shock. He whispered some words under his breath and green light glowed under his hands. After he was done, Master Roshi looked better than before.
Master laughed and strecthed his back, "Thank you, Micheal. I could always count on you." he patted his back.
Micheal nodded with a soft smile, "You're too kind." he told him.
"What the Seven Hells!" I yelled with white eyes in anime style.
"Awesome," Goku exclaimed in an excited tone beside me.
Master Roshi gave me a grin and Micheal has a sheepish look on his face again. He rubbed his head and smiled.
"Kids, I like to have a word with Micheal, so can you give us some alone time?" Master Roshi said.
I numbly nodded and dragged Goku behind me outside while he let out a disappointed 'Aww'. I closed the door behind me and sat in deep thought. Micheal has never appeared in the manga nor in anime as Roshi's third student obviously. I basically read all the wikis and watched the Dragon Ball series for three years back home, so who is he basically?
For a moment, I thought deeply again. It could be that this world is like an alternate universe or basically the real world of Dragon Ball. I mostly heard about these kind of things in the fandom, so maybe that's it? Ugh, I don't know...
Ten minutes passed, Goku and I laid on the ground. The two of us began to feel bored with all the waiting. I sighed and turned my head to my Saiyan friend.
"Hey Goku?" I said.
"Yeah?" he turned his head and our noses touched.
I giggled at our situation and moved myself backwards a bit, "Want to play Patty Cake?" I asked.
He blinked in confusion, "What's Patty Cake, Lea?"
I sat up, "It's a game. Here, I'll show you."
Goku sat up and I taught him how to do it. After a few tries, he got the hang of it.
"Okay, now that's done. If one of us misses a move, we have to flick each other foreheads, okay?" I smiled.
Goku grinned and nodded energetically, we began to play Patty Cake and some of us missed some moves. We laughed every time we make a mistake and flicked each other's foreheads. We kept playing and I was unaware that Master Roshi and Micheal walked out the house.
"Leanne!" Master Roshi called.
I yelped and missed a move, "No, I missed!" I cried melodramatically.
Goku laughed and flicked my forehead, I winced playfully and we both laughed.
"Leanne!"
I yelped, stood up and scurried to Master.
"W-What is it, Master Roshi?" I stammered.
He gave me a soft smile, "Just wanted you to know that you'll be training with Micheal." he said.
My eyes widened, "What!"
I soon waved my arms, "Hang on, didn't you tell me yesterday you will be training me? What changed your mind?" I stared the hermit.
"Those matters are complicated, Leanne. But I know what I said yesterday. To make it clear, you'll be training with Micheal for the time being. Every two months, he and I will take turns."
"Okay, I seem to understand, but what I don't understand is why I'm training with him?" I pointed Micheal and soon dropped my finger. "No offense." I gave him a look.
Micheal shook his head, "None taken." he said.
Master Roshi sighed, "Micheal will be explaining that, for now. Get your stuff, you'll be moving with him if you're going to train with him."
I stared and looked down, "Okay."
Goku watched his best friend went inside the house. He had heard everything about their conversation and it made him sad that Leanne will be leaving. It's just, they have been together ever since Goku saved her from that dinosaur. He felt a small feeling in his chest, but he shrugged it away.
Goku approached to Master Roshi, "Master, why does Lea have to train with Micheal?" he asked.
Micheal stared at the child, he can sense his confusion and sadness since the fact Leanne will be training with him. He gave a compassionate look to boy, there was no doubt the two kids are close.
"It's... complicated, Goku. I'll tell you someday," Master Roshi sighed.
Goku nodded, Leanne came out of the house with her backpack. He didn't what came to him, but Goku rushed towards her and tackled her to the ground.
Leanne yelped and collided with the ground, but felt someone held the back of her head and her back. She adjusted her position just to notice it was Goku. He hugged her close and his head was in her neck.
"Be back soon, Lea." he muttered.
She smiled sadly and patted his head, "I will."
They separated and stood up. The two hugged again while Leanne gave a small kiss on Goku's forehead. The two pulled away and the young girl headed to Micheal who was waiting for her with Master Roshi.
"I'm ready to go," she told him
Micheal knelt down, "Are you sure? I can give you more time to tell your friends goodbye." he stared the young girl concerned.
Leanne shook her head, "I already said my goodbyes." she said quietly.
He nodded, Leanne hugged Master Roshi and thanked him for his kindness. Micheal held out his hand to the young girl and she slowly took it before walking away.
