Author's note: Hey everybody! I'm back and early too! YAY! I saw that many authors were updating their popular series so I wanted to participate in it as well by updating my series.
Sorry for the break but I needed it. I wanted to take the opportunity to write more chapters and try to post them up every Sunday since summer is just right around the corner. Which means more people will have time to read it and I want to give them something to read (I guess it is part of the English teacher in me that wants people to read more). And also it gave my beta more time to review more chapters. So I want to thank naioka1992 for beta-reading this chapter.
I also want to give out a well deserved kudos to SonicAnime2010 for guessing the cliffhanger scene correctly. Well done my friend! And to everyone else as well. Great job and keep reviewing! I really enjoy reading them!
Now here is the chapter we all have been waiting for (especially in seeing a certain character's mom come into play)! So, I present to you chapter 11 of Saiyan in Mahora! Enjoy!
Period 11: Son Gohan Nervous! The Son Family Arrives!
Gohan was sitting down looking at his card that received from Shizuna. Ever since he had gotten back from the trip in Kyoto, Gohan has been studying the card nonstop. Based on his observations and research through studying Negi and the others was that a pactio card was formed when a contract was established between a Minister and Magister and usually was done through a kiss. This would be a good thing for Gohan except for one thing: Negi is the only Magister that he knows!
Could it be that he, Gohan, had accidentally kissed Negi? Gohan shook his head as he tried to eliminate those dirty thoughts. No! There is no way that could have happened. I would have definitely remembered it. But right now, that wasn't as important as what the pactio card contained. He studied the picture as well. The picture contained him in his Kai uniform that Kibito had given him when he visited the Higashi no Kaioshin but also had him holding a sword. I didn't notice it before but the sword kind of looks familiar.
After much thought and deliberation, Gohan stood up and held out the pactio card in front of him. "I think it's time that we saw what the artifact is," he muttered. "Adeat!" A bright light shined in front, making him shield his eyes from the brightness.
Once the light subsided, Gohan opened his eyes and felt his hand heavy. He looked down and saw a sword in his hand. It was very heavy. Gohan tried to lift it up but had some difficulty as he started to move around unbalanced all over the place. While doing so, he accidentally tore pieces of the wall and closet as well as partially destroyed the television in the room. "Ah crap," he said as he tried to regain his balance. This is exactly like the Zeta sword…wait…Gohan then realized something. "This is the Zeta Sword!" he yelled excitedly. "But how did I get this? I know that the Zeta sword was broken and Ro Kaioshin-sama was released from it, so how can it be here in my hands?"
Gohan pondered a bit but was taken back into reality when the sword started to get heavier and heavier until finally, he had to let it go. When he did, the sword landed on the floor with such force that it shook the entire building causing many people to be shaken out of their beds. As a result, Gohan started to hear the girls waking up and some of them crying due to them being woken up early. One voice in particular he wished he didn't hear was from…Asuna.
In Asuna and Konoka's room, Asuna had just woken up, not because of Negi being right next to her but because of the shaking. She got up and looked around to see if it was Negi who had woken her up from such a nice dream that involved Takahata-sensei. She immediately saw that Negi was right next to her, snugging her body. She, most of the time, would kick the living crap out of Negi for doing such a thing; however, she had a new target: Son Gohan. If there is to be a quake, Gohan has to be involved in it somehow, she said to herself angrily. Wait till I get my hands on you Gohan! I am so going to hurt you for ruining such a good dream.
Back in his room, Gohan immediately felt the killing intent coming from Asuna. "Crap," he said as he tried to figure out on how he was going to get out of this. He tried to pull up the sword but couldn't. It was too heavy! He definitely needed to transform into a Super Saiyan, however that appeared unlikely as the amount force to lift the sword from the floor might cause some collateral damage. He started to sweat nervously as he tried to figure on how to get rid of the evidence, until finally he remembered something. "Wait, didn't Chamo-san say that to put away the artifact, you had to say Abeat." Suddenly, a bright light shone on the floor as a ball of light engulfed the sword, transforming it back into the pactio card.
The card descended slowly to the ground as it landed softly with Gohan sitting down. He let out a sigh of relief. "Good, glad's that over. Now I have to clean up this mess before…OH NO! I am going to be late! I was supposed to meet with the headmaster!" He had just seen the watch that was in his room and saw that it was close to the appointed time. He grabbed his clothes, immediately changed and dashed out of the room, without even cleaning it up. Oh how he would regret not cleaning up.
At the same time…
"Goten! Goten! Where are you?" screamed a woman. She was an average height woman who had dark black hair tied into a bun. She wore a yellow Chinese dress with a purple cloth tied on the back. She was looking around for someone as she searched the main district of Mahora Academy. "Where could have he gone? And why isn't he looking for him instead of fighting? Seriously, his son is missing and all he cares is about fighting," said the woman as she continued to search around the campus.
Meanwhile, in front of the steps, Negi, Asuna and Konoka were running up the street as usual to get to classes. "Right! Let's have at it, then," yelled Negi as he ran ahead of Asuna and Konoka. "Midterms are coming up, so good luck on your studies, Asuna-san!"
"Y-Yeah, I know, okay?" Asuna responded.
Negi smiled. Today was a good day for him. Come to think of it, Evangeline-san said she'd be testing me, too. This Saturday I think. But what test is there to see if you can be a disciple…? Negi shook his head and clenched his fist in excitement. Between my duties as a teacher and my own training to become stronger, it's going to be hard, but I'm up for it especially if it means becoming a master magi and catching up to my father...and to Gohan-san. As the three of them ran, there was a commotion going on close to the seat areas outside for lunch. "What's going on down there?" Negi asked.
Negi took a detour and went down the stairs. Asuna called Negi back, but decided to follow him with Konoka in tow. Once they got downstairs, they saw a young girl surrounded by menacing strong men. Negi blinked a few times until he finally recognized the figure as…"Ku Fei-san?" Negi started to freak out. A student was about to get her ass handed to her. He needed to do something. "Ku Fei-san is surrounded by bad guys!"
"But this happens every day de-gozaru," Kaede said as she came up next to Negi, Asuna and Konoka. "Chubuken Captain Ku Fei is today's sure favorite to win."
"EHH?" All of them replied as all them watched the 'bad guys' approach Ku Fei.
Kaede continued as Ku Fei proceeded to beat each one pretty badly with Negi, Asuna and Konoka in awe. "Ku's already won most of the school's martial arts tournament, so every day, they pretty much line up to challenge her."
"Really?" Negi asked. She is really strong. Maybe she can help me if Gohan-san can't help me with my training.
"You weak-aru!" yelled Ku Fei as she stood in the middle of the beaten down opponents in her Chinese martial art pose. "Come on, isn't there anyone stronger-aru?"
"I like to take that challenge!" yelled a voice. Everyone that was present, which included Negi, Asuna, Konoka and Kaede, turned their heads towards the direction of the voice. The voice had come from a tall male. He had the spikiest hair that anyone has ever seen as every strand of hair went in every direction. He wore a martial arts dogi which consisted of orange baggy pants, a blue belt, orange tank-top with a blue tank-top underneath it. He also wore blue wristbands and blue boots with a yellow rope tied on it. The orange tank-top had two symbols on it: A small symbol with the character for kame (turtle) on the bottom corner of the shirt and a larger symbol with the same character on the back. He had the biggest grin on his face. Negi, Asuna and Konoka noted that the grin was similar to another dark haired man that they knew.
"Are you sure-aru?" Ku Fei asked.
"Sure," said the man as he started to stretch. "I'm dying for a spar." The man had the biggest grin on his face as he got into a fighting stance. The air was silent around them. Negi and Asuna were gaping at the situation that was developing right in front of them.
"Shouldn't we stop Ku Fei-san?" Negi asked. "She could really hurt that man! I am going to stop them!"
"Wait Negi!" Asuna yelled as she tried to stop Negi from getting in between the two fighters. Bad idea. However, she didn't have to do anything as the man and Ku Fei began their sparring and clashed with each other. As a result of the clash, a strong wind emanated from them which caused Negi to back off.
Negi landed on the floor with a thud. While scratching his back from the pain of landing on the floor hard, he looked up and saw the two fighting at very fast speeds. The man jumped forward at speed. Throwing his left fist, Ku Fei dodged to the side. Then Ku Fei attacked with his left, the dark haired man caught it and later attacked with his elbow, which was blocked by Ku Fei's arm.
Then Ku Fei threw a kick but the dark haired man dodged it with his forearm. Suddenly the man disappeared catching everyone by surprise except for Kaede and Ku Fei, whom started to look around for his presence. The man then appeared behind and tried to hit at the back. Ku Fei ducked and tried to kick with the man dodging it.
Ku Fei leapt and threw a kick at the man's head, which he blocked. The shockwave shook the entire area. The man examined his forearm, finding it throbbing from the attack. Ku Fei spun and punched the man in the face, sending him flying backwards and into the ground. A crater appeared in the floor as the man lay there, motionless.
"Oh my goodness!" screamed Negi with a panic. "He is out cold! We should…" Negi stopped talking when he saw the man slowly climbed to all fours, grinning.
"This is really exciting," he said. Just then, Ku Fei shot over him. The dark haired man phased out of the way of the punch and reappeared behind Ku Fei, jumping back away from the girl. Ku Fei turned and spotted the man directly behind her. She let out a grin as she threw a flurry of attacks, all of which the man dodged or blocked.
Finally, the man landed with his back to Ku Fei. The Chinese martial artist took advantage of the situation, throwing a punch at the dark haired man's head, but the man leaned out of the way and caught Ku Fei's arm. He then tried to throw her in the air, but Ku Fei was able to counter the throw by jumping over the man. She launched at him and the two began to trade even more blows.
The two warriors then suddenly phased out of sight, gaping holes appearing on the floor, the stand walls, and the roofs of the nearby buildings. Everyone stood in awe at watching the fight. But what was more surprising for Negi that the two warriors were grinning like mad. They were enjoying the fight. After a skidding punch close to their faces, the two of them jumped back, putting some distance between the two. The two of them got into their fighting stance as everyone gaped at the scene they were watching.
"Hey Negi, doesn't that man's fighting remind you of someone?" Asuna asked.
"You're right Asuna-san. That man's fighting style is similar to…" But before he could finish the sentence, Negi turned his head towards the clock tower and saw the time. "OH NO! We are going to be late!" screamed Negi.
"EHH?" said the students.
The man let out a sigh of disappointment. "Man, the fighting was just getting good." He turned his attention to Ku Fei. "You should get going to class."
"Aru…" pouted Ku Fei. "I wanted to keep the fight going-aru since you are stronger than the Great Singing Man."
The man blinked a few times. "Great Singing Man?"
Ku Fei nodded. "That's right-aru! Which means that you have to marry me-aru."
"What?" screamed the dark haired man as he waved his hands in protest. "I-I'm actually married. I'm sure that the Great Singing Man is much stronger than me," the man said. "Which reminds me that I have to find Chi-Chi before she kills me! We'll fight again soon!" The man said as he waved goodbye as he ran towards the opposite direction. Ku Fei waved back and went running with Negi and the group back to the school before they got late.
"Who do you think that guy was Negi?" Asuna asked as they walked in the hallways.
"I'm not sure," replied Negi. "But we should be careful, he may be an enemy. Especially with him being so strong." But this was a good opportunity for me to watch Ku Fei-san fight. I have to ask her later. "I will see you ladies in the classroom later."
"Okay Negi-kun," waved Konoka as Negi walked ahead towards the teacher's room. She then turned to Asuna. "You know Asuna, that man bore a very close resemblance to Gohan-kun."
"You're right Konoka," Asuna said. "I guess we will have to ask him later." She and Konoka opened the door to the classroom. They immediately saw all the girls huddling around one area. "Hey what's going on?"
"Asuna-san," Setsuna said. "You are not going to believe this but I think we found a lost child."
"Huh?" Asuna moved some of the girls out of the way. Once she got to her destination, her eyes turned wide as she saw a small boy of eight years old. The weirdest thing though was that this young boy was bearing the same appearance as the tall man that Ku Fei was fighting. He was wearing the same colors as the adult version that she saw earlier.
"Isn't he so cute?" Misa said with a smile as she patted the head of the young boy.
"He sure is," said Chizuru.
"He isn't as cute as Negi-sensei," muttered Ayaka with a blush.
"What's going on here?" yelled Asuna as she got up to the boy's face. "Is this a joke? We just saw you earlier and now you are here! What the hell are you?" She really didn't like little kids.
"Asuna, you're scaring him," Konoka said. She then bent down and smiled to the shaken boy. "Hello, I'm Konoe Konoka, what's your name?"
"Goten," replied the boy.
"Goten-chan, are you lost?"
"Nope, I'm just waiting for Onii-chan," Goten said with a grin.
"Onii-chan? How do you know you will find him here?" Asuna asked.
"Because I felt his ki here," replied Goten.
"Ki? Wait you don't mean…" Before Asuna could finish that sentence, Negi and Gohan came into the room. Nodoka led all of the class to greet Negi. And before Negi could say something, a certain voice screamed out.
"Onii-chan!" screamed Goten as he jumped up and went to hug Gohan. Gohan, who was still thinking about the pactio, didn't see Goten come in until the last minute.
"Goten!" Gohan put his arms up to try to stop him, but it was too late as Goten came in hard in his hug. The amount of power behind the hug forced Gohan to lose his balance and both of them went through the wall. Everyone except for those who knew about Gohan's abilities were completely shocked, including some people who were walking in the hallways.
"Onii-chan!" Goten yelled and hugged Gohan fiercely.
Gohan patted his head and tried to pry him off, without success. "Hey Goten." He put on a brotherly grin. Some of the girls went all gaga over this brotherly scene.
"They look so cute," Konoka said.
"Umm, Gohan-sensei?" said Haruna.
"Yeah, Haruna-san," replied Gohan.
"How did you break the wall?" Everyone was curious as well. Gohan flinched immediately. He was going to reprimand Goten later for this.
"Ummm…." Think, Gohan, think. "There were termites in the wall….and…the wall was already weak, right Negi-san?"
"U-Umm, right!" Negi said as he let out a laugh and scratched the back of his neck nervously. Gohan let out a sigh of relief. He was thankful that Negi was able to pick that up and continue with it. However, there was another issue at hand.
"Goten, what are you doing here?" Gohan asked.
"We came to visit you since you haven't been at home for so long," replied the little Goten with his usual grin.
"Oh good," said Gohan with a sigh. Wait, did he say 'we'? "Goten, is Mom here too?"
"Yup!" Goten nodded.
Gohan immediately flinched. "Oh no!" he said, catching everyone in the classroom by surprise.
"Gohan-kun, what's wrong?"
"My mom is here!" Gohan started to panic. He had completely forgotten to tell her about being the dorm manager for the girl's dormitory. She was going to flip and she was going to get even angrier once she found out that Gohan was fighting again. Gohan hoped that she didn't bring her legendary frying pan of doom.
"Gohan!" Gohan immediately flinched. He knew that voice from anywhere. He turned around and saw the same woman from earlier that was looking around for a lost boy.
"Hi Mom!" Gohan said with a nervous sweat running down his face.
Chi-Chi walked in and gasped. "Goten! What did I tell you about running off like that? You had me worried there."
"That's okay, we were able to find him after he got lost," said Shiina, trying to warm up to the mother of her affections.
"I wasn't worried that he got lost," replied Chi-Chi. "I was more worried about the damages that he could have caused." Everyone sweat-dropped. "Goten, I taught you better than this! This place is a mess! You know you are not supposed to fight with your brother."
"I'm sorry Mom," Goten said.
"So Gohan, this is your class?" Chi-Chi asked as she looked around the classroom.
"Yeah, this is my class," Gohan said with a nervous grin. "Oh, Mom, let me introduce you to Negi Springfield, the teacher that I am assisting."
"Nice to meet you Son-san," Negi said as he bowed politely to Chi-Chi.
Chi-Chi in the meantime looked from Negi to Gohan, Gohan to Negi, Negi to Gohan and finally said, "Isn't he a little too young to be teaching? He is almost the same age as Goten."
"That's not true!" Ayaka yelled as she rushed in to protect her sensei. "Negi-sensei is a very matured and awesome teacher whom I have a lot of respect for."
"Respect for him, yeah right," muttered Asuna.
"What did you say Senior citizen lover?" Ayaka turned around angrily.
"You heard me cradle robber!" Asuna yelled back angrily.
"That's it!" Ayaka yelled as she went to fight with Asuna. A cat fight had erupted in front of Gohan and his family. Negi panickly tried to stop the fight but was brushed off aside as always. Gohan could only look on with a face of embarrassment and nervousness. Goten in the meantime started to smile and clap his hands.
"Fight! Fight! This is the best class ever Nii-chan," Goten said excitedly.
"Gohan, don't tell me this happens every day?" Chi-Chi said. Gohan nodded nervously. He knew what was coming next. Chi-Chi breathe in and screamed so loudly with a menacing aura surrounding her and taken out her frying pan, "WHAT YOU ARE DOING? LADIES ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO ACT LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY IN GOHAN'S CLASS! GET BACK INTO YOUR SEATS!" Immediately, everyone stopped as they started to sweat nervously when they heard Chi-Chi scream. They then immediately went back to their seats and sat still as they didn't want to further incur the wrath of Gohan's mom. "That's much better. See Gohan, now you won't have to worry about this anymore," she said with a devilish smile. All the girls began to sweat-drop at the sight. What kind of mom is that? Everyone thought.
Gohan let out a sigh of relief. "Hey Mom, where is Dad?"
Chi-Chi let out a grunt. "I have no idea where he is. Knowing him, he is probably fighting off somewhere. I swear Goku is so much trouble."
Gohan laughed nervously. Just like always Mom, he said to himself. Just then someone else walked through the door. Everyone turned their attention to the door and saw the figure entering. Asuna flinched. "Wait, isn't that…"
"Hey Gohan!" The man said cheerily and slapped Gohan's back.
"Hey Dad!" Gohan smiled at him.
"DAD?" Asuna, Konoka, Ku Fei and some of the other girls yelled.
"Where have you been Goku-sa?" Chi-Chi asked menacingly.
Goku flinched. "I'm sorry Chi-Chi, I kind of got lost on the way here."
"Knowing you, you were off fighting again, weren't you?" Chi-Chi said.
Goku let out his Son grin. "You got me Chi-Chi. But you wouldn't believe the fighter that I just fought. She was amazing and had such skill and…" Before Goku could continue, he coincidentally turned his head and saw Ku Fei in the back rows of the classroom. "It's you!"
"Aru? You're that man that I fought earlier! Let's continue our fight-aru!" Ku Fei then got into a fighting stance as she stood on the table. Goku did the same thing as he crouched in his fighting stance. The room was quiet except for the occasional sigh from either Gohan or Chi-Chi. Well, mostly from Chi-Chi.
"Gohan," Chi-Chi interrupted the discussion. "Who are these young girls?" Chi-Chi looked at them suspiciously. The girls in the classroom suddenly became and looked very uncomfortable especially when a fight between Goku and Ku Fei was about to break out right in front of them. They could only guess what Gohan's mother was thinking about them right now after seeing the riot earlier. Fortunately, Gohan spoke up for them before they had to say anything.
"These are my students Mom. Class 3-A, meet my family: my mom, Son Chi-Chi, my younger brother Son Goten and my dad Son Goku," Gohan said he motioned them to the class.
"Good Morning!" said the class as they stood up and bowed politely to the Son family. As soon as the girls sat down, some whispers began to be heard. Some of them involved on how cute Goten was and comparing him to Gohan. Others were mentioning about how they were going to win affection of Gohan's mom as it was a common belief that if a woman won the heart of the mother, she had won the son. Suddenly, a loud grumble interrupted the silence.
Everyone immediately turned to Gohan, who they thought was the one who made the grumbling noise. But in fact it was… "Sorry," laughed Goku and Goten as they scratched the back of their necks. "I guess we are hungry." Everyone faceplanted. What kind of family was this?
"I knew it," Chi-Chi said. "Well come on, let's get going. I'll cook some food. Gohan, where is your apartment?"
"Oh here Mom," Gohan said as he wrote the directions on a piece of paper and handed it to her.
"Yay! Food!" Goten yelled excitedly as he and Chi-Chi walked out the door of the classroom.
"Hey Gohan, are you going to join us?" Goku asked.
"Sorry Dad but I can't. I'll meet you guys for lunch though. Save some for me," Gohan said as he was starting to get hungry too.
"Sure thing Gohan," Goku said he left out the door and shut it behind him. After the door was shut, Gohan turned around and let out a smile.
"Okay, let's back to class," Gohan said with a big Son grin. "Negi-san if you would?"
"Of course Gohan-san," Negi said and started to do the day's lesson. Mid-terms were approaching and the girls were going to need all the information that they could get to pass especially the 5 Baka Rangers. Negi and Gohan were going to help them the best they could to pass the mid-terms and achieve the highest score in the school. However, they failed to realize that a certain motivational factor was coming into play.
At lunch break…
Gohan let out a sigh of relief. His work day was over finally. Now he needed to get back to his room and…his room! "Oh no!" he yelled with a panic. He had completely forgotten that he left his room in such a rush that he didn't clean up his room. Mom is going to flip! What I am going to do? Gohan started to run in the hallways but not at his usual speeds. He didn't want to draw unnecessary attention after the episode of Goten hugging him through a wall.
As he ran, he went past a few of the unsuspecting girls and Negi as well causing them to turn their heads. "Wasn't that Gohan-kun?" Konoka asked.
"Yeah, but why is he running so fast and so nervously?" Asuna responded.
"Maybe it has to do with his mother here," Negi pondered.
"Or maybe he was just hungry like he usually is," Asuna responded dismissively.
"We should check it out," Konoka said worryingly. "Gohan-kun may need our help."
Negi nodded in agreement. "You're right Konoka-san. He may need our help. Let's go Asuna-san."
"Why does this keep happening to me?" muttered Asuna as she followed Konoka and Negi out of the building and towards Gohan's direction.
After a few minutes of running, Gohan finally reached the dormitories. He ran through the front gate, saying hi to the security guard that was present and went straight to his room. Once he arrived to the front door of his room, Gohan took in a deep breath and readied himself what the consequences. He opened the door and he unexpectedly found something interesting…His room had been cleaned up. But how? He wondered. Could have his mom done it for him? That would be highly unlikely.
As he continued to wonder on how his room was cleaned up so well, his nose started to tingle due to a smell coming from the kitchen. He walked over to the kitchen and saw his mom cooking huge patches of food on the stove. "Hi Mom!" Gohan said with a nervous smile and a gulp, fearing the worst.
"Gohan! You're back!" Chi-Chi said with a smile as she continued cooking. "I am very impressed by how tidy and clean your apartment was."
"Really?" Gohan said in disbelief. How is this possible? Gohan said to himself. I know I left my room in a mess and the floor was damaged. So how did it get cleaned up? Gohan decided to let it go for now, since the only person who knew of him living in here was the headmaster and Negi. He would ask the headmaster later. "Hey Mom, where is Dad and Goten?"
"Oh they are outside," Chi-Chi said with a sigh. "Goten-chan wanted to do a bit of sparring since he didn't get to fight anyone like your father did. I swear, this whole family only thinks of fighting."
Gohan let out a nervous laugh. That's Mom alright. "Okay, I'll go check on them." He dropped his stuff and went outside the dormitories. Once outside at the front gate, Gohan looked around for Goku and Goten. He couldn't see them and so he went the other option, sensing their ki. He closed his eyes and tried sensing them out.
Behind some bushes, Negi, Asuna, Konoka and Chamo began to wonder on what was going on as they saw Gohan come out of the dormitories and closing his eyes. "What is Gohan-kun doing?" Konoka whispered.
"I'm not sure actually Konoka," responded Asuna. "But any case, there is no trouble here. Why don't we head back?"
"I'm not," Negi said firmly.
"Why not Aniki?" Chamo asked.
"Well, Gohan-san usually closes his eyes to sense people's ki," Negi replied. "That is what he told me and also based on my observations. If he is doing that, then maybe there is some trouble."
"We should help Gohan-kun then," Konoka said with a smile. Asuna let out a sigh. Once Konoka was on a mission, there was no stopping her.
Gohan continued standing still with his eyes closed for a few more seconds until finally. "There they are," he said as he flew into the sky. Asuna, Konoka, Negi and Chamo all watched as Gohan flew.
"Let's follow him," Konoka said as she pulled Asuna's and Negi's arms towards Gohan direction. They continued to follow Gohan until he finally touched down. The four of them went behind some bushes and watched Gohan look up in the sky.
"What is Gohan doing?" Asuna asked.
"I'm not sure," Negi said as he closely watched what Gohan was doing.
"He is watching a sparring match," a voice said. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Setsuna who had spoken.
"Se-chan, what are you doing here?" Konoka asked.
"I would ask the same thing Konoka-ojou-sama," Setsuna replied. "What are you all doing here?"
"Konoka-san thought that Gohan-san might be in danger, so we followed him here," Negi responded.
"Gohan-kun had a look of nervousness," Konoka said. "I was worried." Setsuna let out a sigh. She looked at Asuna with the girl's face saying 'I tried to stop them.' "So who is fighting?"
"I'm not sure," Setsuna said. "I can't see the figures very clearly. They are going very fast." All of them turned their attention to the shockwaves and fists clashing. In the sky, they could see two blurs popping in and out of sight. One of which was a man dressed in orange and blue. The second was a miniature version of the other. Both of them were working hard, their shouts evident over the racket they were creating. Flashing in and out of super speed, both combatants hammered away at each other, focusing all their base power into this duel and pushing their training to their limits. It was hard work, and they could see that.
Goku backed up, taking the defensive. In a split second, Goten came at him with a powerful right punch. The attack connected with Goku's parry, the resounding shock waves kicking at the skies. Goten followed up this attack with a deadly combination of kicks and punches, these ones forcing Goku back ever so slowly through the air. Both of them growled with each and every effort put into the littlest of offensive and defensive techniques. Goten had Goku on the ropes, his fists pounding into Goku's arms. Then after putting a significant amount of force into putting his father back, Goten came in with a fast combination of two punches, both of which Goku parried away, but was unable to block the hook that came afterwards. This was closely followed by an elbow across the face. Goten then rammed a left roundhouse kick and then a right kick across Goku's face.
Goku backed off a bit and let out a smirk. He then disappeared from their sight as well as Goten. Negi, Asuna, Konoka, Setsuna and Chamo all looked around to find the two warriors but no luck. The only thing that they could use to pinpoint their location was the shockwaves emanating from the clashes. Asuna looked over to Gohan and saw him smiling. Why is he smiling? Does everyone in his family love to fight? She wondered.
Gohan let out a sigh and yelled, "Dad, Goten, I think that is enough. The food is ready!"
Once he mentioned the word food, Goten and Goku appeared out of nowhere on the ground. Goten and Goku were salivating a bit. "Really, food is ready Onii-chan?" Goten asked.
Gohan nodded. "Yup! Why don't you go and help Mom okay?"
Goten smiled. "Yay! Yay!" With that, he went off running to the apartment. Goku was about to do the same thing but stopped himself. He looked around the area.
"Hey Gohan, aren't those your students over there?" Goku asked as he pointed with his finger towards the spot where Negi, Konoka, Setsuna, Asuna and Chamo were hiding.
"Huh?" Gohan blinked. He turned his head to see where his dad was pointing at. His dad was never wrong about ki signatures in the area so Gohan decided to check it out. And guess what, Goku was right. "Hey." Everyone flinched as they tried to hide their presence as best they could so not to be spotted. "What are you guys doing here?" Gohan asked.
"We were worried about you Gohan-san," Negi replied.
"Worried? About what?" Gohan said.
"You had a worried face when you were running in the hallways of the academy," Konoka said. "We wanted to make sure that you were alright, Gohan-kun. You looked nervous all day."
Gohan started to chuckle. "What's so funny?" Asuna yelled. "These guys were worried about you. They thought that you were in trouble."
"I originally thought that I was, but not anymore," Gohan said with a laugh. All of them looked at each other, figuring out what was making Gohan laugh.
"Hey Gohan," Goku said as he walked up to his older son, "c'mon what's the hold up? Food is ready!" He then turned his attention to the group in front of Gohan. He moved his head, curious to know who these people were, even though he had met them when he entered the classroom. "Who are they?"
"Dad, don't you remember them?" Gohan asked. He immediately regretted asking the question as his father was going to say what he usually says.
"Nope, can't remember," Goku replied with his Son grin.
"I'm glad that you're not a teacher," Gohan muttered. "Well , these are people from my class. The little one is Negi Springfield, the teacher of the class."
Negi bowed to Goku politely. "How do you do Son-san?"
"Wow. This little guy is a teacher. What is he a mage?" Goku asked.
Negi immediately flinched but was calmed by Gohan. "Don't worry Negi-san, my dad is very dependable person. He won't tell a soul." Negi let out a sigh of relief.
"So who are the girls?" Goku asked.
"This is Asuna-san." Gohan motioned to her. "And this is Konoka-san, her roommate. They are currently living with Negi-san."
"Not of our own free will of course," Konoka said with a warm smile and a giggle.
"Damn right! Who would want to live with such a brat?" Asuna said she hit Negi on the head.
"Oww…Asuna-san," Negi said with a pout.
"This is Setsuna-san," Gohan said as he mentioned to her as she stood behind Konoka. Setsuna politely bowed to Goku.
Goku then looked from Asuna to Gohan, back to Konoka, back to Gohan, from Asuna to Gohan from Konoka to Gohan. Until what he was thinking finally formed into words. "So does this mean you not dating Videl anymore?"
Gohan fell to the floor. Konoka looked flabbergasted. Not so much because of what he said, but because she had never considered the idea that Gohan might already be dating someone. In one sentence, all her hopes were destroyed. He stood up, looking highly embarrassed. "Dad! We were never dating to begin with!" Konoka smiled at that comment. Feeling her hopes come back to her. And some reason, Asuna and Setsuna were feeling the same thing but they brushed it aside.
"Oh well! Let's get some food! I'm starving!" Goku said as he walked back to the dormitories. He looked back to the group and asked, "Aren't you going to invite them Gohan? The more, the merrier!"
Gohan blushed a bit as he turned his attention to the group. "Ummm…would you guys like to come and eat lunch with us?" Gohan asked as he scratched the back of his neck nervously.
And before Asuna could say no, Konoka interrupted her and everyone else by saying, "Yes. We would love to have lunch with your family. Right everyone?" She then sent a menacing glare that was uncharacteristic of Konoka's nice smiles. Everyone flinched at the unexpected change of personality of Konoka and sweated nervously. They nodded in agreement. "Good," Konoka said with her usual smile as she locked arms with Gohan and took him back to the dormitories with the group right behind the two.
Once inside, Gohan guided the group, which included Goku, through the building and then towards his room. He opened the door and everyone gasped at the sight. The room was big…very big, compared to their rooms. The room was worthy for a dorm supervisor.
Inside, the group heard a humming coming from the kitchen and noticed that it was Chi-Chi cooking up some delicious food based on the smell emanating from the kitchen. Konoka went over to the kitchen to see if Chi-Chi needed any help with anything. "Son-san, is there anything that I can do?" She asked with a smile.
Chi-Chi smiled back. "Not that I can think of, ehhh…"
"Konoka."
"Konoka-san. I have everything under control. Besides, you would need a lot of practice to feed these three," Chi-Chi said as she gestured to Goku, Goten and Gohan. "But you can help me set up the plates as Gohan brought company." Konoka let out a smile. It was nice that the whole family was here and she was getting to see another side of Gohan that not a lot of girls knew about. Or so she thought.
Outside of the window, Kazumi, Ayaka, Nodoka, Chizuru, Natsumi, Yue and Haruna spied on the unsuspecting group behind the tree. Kazumi was taking pictures and notes while Ayaka was clenching her fist in frustration. "Why is Negi-sensei there? If all he wanted was some lunch, I would have gladly given a meal worthy of a sensei."
"Yeah you would, so you could ensnare Negi-sensei?" Kazumi said as she continued to take pictures, more specifically on a smiling Gohan. She had hoped to eat lunch with Gohan but wasn't able to find him but thanks to a pesky ermine, she was able to find his apartment. However, she didn't plan on bringing an entourage with her.
"Nodoka, this is a sign," Yue said. "You need to start making meals for Negi-sensei."
"B-But I can't," Nodoka stuttered with a blush.
"Sure you can," Haruna said. "All you have to do is ask Negi-kun on what his favorite food is."
"F-F-Favorite food?" Nodoka blushed red at that point. She twiddled her fingers in nervousness.
"I don't understand why I am here?" Natsumi asked. "Why did you bring me here Chizuru-nee?"
"Well, you seemed kind of lonely so I wanted to bring you along," Chizuru said.
"But I…"
"You did seem lonely," Chizuru said with a devilish smile that if Natsumi said differently, it would mean punishment for her later. Especially with the spring onions.
"Quiet you guys, they are about to do something now," Kazumi said.
"Alright everyone the food is ready," Chi-Chi said. Goku and Goten sat at the dining table happily at the mention of food. In short order, the food was prepared and set out on the table. The group stood with their mouths open. There was enough food to feed a large army. Who were these people?
Chi-Chi sent menacing glares at all the boys to assure that they didn't start until everyone was at the table. "We have company here, so I expect you boys to eat in a CIVILIZED manner. Got it?" Goku and Goten shook their head vigorously, quickly to agree with her. Gohan mentally did the same thing too. He was starving as well.
Everyone took their seats and immediately, the three Sons went for the food, glopping it up. Setsuna, Asuna and Negi all stared at the spectacle while Chi-Chi calmly ate her food as so did Konoka. "It's nice to have the whole family together," Chi-Chi said with a smile.
"It sure is," Konoka agreed. Meanwhile, Asuna, Setsuna and Negi were all in disbelief as they watched Goku, Goten and Gohan eat large amounts of food like it was nothing. It was like watching Gohan eat his meals but adding two more. Oh well, they might as well eat some of the food before it is all gone. Chi-Chi then looked at Konoka who was eating right next to her with very proper manners.
"So Konoka-san, how is Gohan's teaching? I hope he is a good teacher." She looked at her with interest.
"He sure isn…" Asuna was about to say before being interrupted by Konoka.
"He sure is. After all, he was appointed by my grandfather," Konoka said.
"Your grandfather?" Chi-Chi asked. Gohan gulped his food as a nervous sweat was coming down the side of his face.
"That's right. He is the headmaster of Mahora Academy," Konoka said with a smile.
"Oh. That's nice." Chi-Chi said before taking a few more bites of her food. Gohan waited for the inevitable question that would pop out of his mother's mouth; the one that had popped out of his mother's mouth when Videl came over to his house to train and mentioned about how big her house was.
Chichi looked over at him. "So Gohan, are you planning to marry this girl?"
Gohan spat out some food after the comment was made. "Mom!" He sweat dropped.
"So does that mean I am getting a new sister?" Goten asked. Konoka didn't seem to bother by it, thankfully. She only smiled at him, giving the impression that she knew what was going on and knew how he felt. However, Asuna and Setsuna were feeling a bit jealous at the scene though they didn't know why. Especially on Asuna's part. Chi-Chi didn't miss it and let out a small smile.
After that brief embarrassing episode (mostly for Gohan), the room was silent as the three Sons continued to eat with a large stack of dirty dishes in front of them. Thankfully, Negi broke the awkward silence. "So, Chi-Chi-san, how did you and Goku-san meet?"
Chi-Chi blushed a bit as she remembered the scene very well. "We met during one of Goku-sa's adventures when he was a young boy. He promised to marry me when we were little. However, we didn't get to see each other until the Tenkaichi Budokai where I fought with Goku-sa. It was a match from heaven and of love."
"Yeah that's right, Mom," Goten said. "Because the kissy kissy stuff and fighting go together." Everyone that wasn't part of the Son family sweat-dropped immediately at the comment that Goten had just said.
"Anyways, Goku then proposed to me during the tournament and we were happily married that same day," Chi-Chi said with a blush on her face. "Ah, those were the days. Those were the happiest times of my life."
"Chi-Chi, can I have some more food?" Goku asked with his Son grin. Chi-Chi blinked a few times before realizing that Goku didn't even participate in the conversation.
"Get it yourself Goku-sa!" She angrily yelled.
Goku blinked a few times and turned to Gohan. "What did I do?" Goku asked. Gohan let out a sigh. This is Dad alright, Gohan said to himself with a smile on his face. Asuna and Setsuna immediately thought to themselves, What kind of family is this? The people outside were thinking the same thing as well. Natsumi couldn't help but see a similarity between Chizuru and Gohan's mom in their devilish smiles and menacing auras.
"Well, you guys should get going," Gohan said with a nervous smile. He didn't want to be further embarrassed by his family. "You wouldn't want to miss your classes."
"I don't know," Asuna said. "I'm thinking of skipping them." Chi-Chi's ear perked a bit. "I know that I am not going to do well in mid-terms so what is the point?"
"What is the point?" Chi-Chi muttered. Goku, Gohan and Goten immediately flinched as they started to back away from Chi-Chi once they saw the menacing aura that was surrounding her had appeared. "YOU SHOULD BE STUDYING AND GOING TO SCHOOL THAT'S WHAT! NO STUDENT OF GOHAN'S IS GOING TO FAIL THE MIDTERMS! Goku-sa, we are going to stay for a little longer."
Goten let out a smile. "Yay! Yay! We get to stay with Onii-chan longer."
"But why Chi-Chi?" Goku asked.
"Because, I am going to help them 'study'," Chi-Chi said. Gohan knew immediately what she meant by 'studying'.
"Ah, if you are going to help Asuna-san to study," Negi said naively, "You should help the other Baka Rangers." Gohan hit his head with the palm of his hand. Negi-san, you just signed a death sentence for those five girls!
"Baka Rangers?" Chi-Chi asked questioned, unsure on what the name meant.
"They are five students from the class who have low scores in every area and need help with some tutoring," Negi said.
"Oh, I see," Chi-Chi said with a soft chuckle. "I will help out these Baka Rangers in studying better. I also wanted to check out something else." She moved her eyes towards the window which caused the group outside to flinch and hide away. I see, Chi-Chi said to herself. Some of those girls are interested in Gohan. Well, we will have to see if they are really determined. Chi-Chi let out a devilish smile.
"Do you think she spotted us?" Ayaka asked.
"I'm not sure," Natsumi said. "But I get the feeling that I don't want to check it out."
"Okay, I will accept it," Asuna said. Goku and Gohan turned a bit wide-eyed. Goku started to feel bad for Asuna. "I need all the help that I can get. Besides, how bad can it be?"
Gohan let out a sigh of defeat. Poor girls, Gohan said to himself. I really hope none of them will hate me after one day of Mom's studying especially Asuna-san. Hope she doesn't kill me. However, he failed to realize that his mother was making other plans.
Author's note: Hey everybody, I hope you enjoyed the chapter! At first this was going to be one chapter but while writing it, more ideas were coming into mind and I didn't want to make a really long chapter (trust me, it was going to be a very long chapter and didn't want to torture you guys in reading such a long chapter). So I decided to make into separate chapters. Here is the glossary for those who don't know:
Tenkaichi Budokai: It is also known as the World Martial Arts Tournament in the English dub.
Higashi no Kaioshi: It translates into the Supreme Kai's planet or realm, whichever one you prefer.
Leave some reviews and I will see you all next week! Peace!
