Warrior School
This is important, please read:
Any languages, mainly Saiya-go will be said 'like this' also, this takes place after Namek and Frieza, and Gohan is how old… five or six? Well let's just say he is five and we will carry on from there.
"I own Dbz, muahaha" lie detector goes off, "aww, oh well, it's a dream!"
Chapter Fourteen… First Vegeta, now who?
He was annoyed, bored, and mostly confused to what had happened to him in the last week, he could barley move for a start and he (even though he never thought he was ever going to say it) wanted to go home, he wanted to see his mother, father and most certainly his brother before he kicked the bucket. He glanced around the room still fed up with his (at the moment) uninteresting life, he hadn't been allowed to move out of his bed (with the exception of bathroom breaks and whatnot); even if he was much stronger than some of the people there, that was at full health that is, he couldn't, he didn't want to be injected with any sleep liquid that knocks him out for days!
"2500," he groaned, "2500 bloody tiles."
"You've been counting the ceiling tiles?" chuckled a new face that had just entered the room.
"And what if I had?" Gohan asked the long, blonde haired woman, "but no, you just times width by height to get the total."
"Oh, you do math?" she questioned grinning her perfect white teeth, "that's rather surprising for a Saiyan. I've always thought you all to be brainless slobs."
"Isn't that lovely," he said sitting up in his bed, "I guess my race has a reputation."
She smiled sadly as she sat down on the nearby armchair, "I guess you're right there Gohan," she then put her right leg over her left and pulled her white dress down.
"How do you know my name?" the teenager gasped pushing himself up even further.
"There are lots of things we know about you Son Gohan. How you weren't allowed to train and how you disobeyed your mother's wishes by joining Ws."
Gohan opened his mouth expecting to come back with some sort of cocky insult but nothing left his mouth except breath, she smiled smugly at the fifteen year old twirling her wavy hair with a finger. The hybrid closed his eyes slowly and opened them in the same speed, he eventually said something, "I bet you know my shoe size too, huh?" The woman, only in her mid thirties laughed at the joke lightly before folding her arms and replying with another smug look.
"Actually no, but we do know that your favorite colour is purple and least favorite is orange, wonder why?" she responded sarcastically, Gohan could only grin at the woman and her nerve (which was highly amusing).
"Yep, wonder why," he agreed with a laugh, "my dad always asks me if I want to watch him spar, and sometimes he even says we would give me some pointers for self defense, but I have to say no..."
"But I bet you love your dad, right?" she asked and got a simple nod from him in reply, she grinned slightly as she moved onto a different subject. "And we were told that you were the little shy and scared type, that must have been before you trained with Faita, I heard that place toughens you up,"
"You heard correct, I have many scars from that place, many come from bricks," he said broadening his grin, she smiled at him and pulled something out of her pocket, the teen could only gasp as he caught a glimpse of it.
"This is my locket, I also trained at Ws and I also trained behind my parent's back, but once they found out they kicked me out," she sighed admiring the locket, "so I quit. I was told to return the locket, but I never did, so it's still with me today."
"Your parent's kicked you out?" he questioned, she nodded so he continued, "wow, I'm defiantly not going to tell my parents now, but how did they find out?"
She giggled before talking, "my parents found me training and made me talk, but trust me, not telling your parents is NOT a good idea; I think you should tell your mum and dad, and they can't stop you now, can they?"
"Then you don't know me as well as you think you know me, my mum isn't the most gentle and understanding person in world when it comes to things like this, she would make sure that I wouldn't be able to get there."
The alien female shrugged and stood up as she threw the locket onto the bed beside Gohan, "suit yourself but don't say I didn't warn you, things are so much easier my way."
The teenager looked down at the old locket and picked it up curiously as he spoke, "what's this for?"
"What do you think?" she said with sarcasm, "It will take you back to Ws."
"W-wait, that wont work, will it? I mean, mine doesn't work for anybody else."
"It doesn't? Wow, things sure has changed since I was there as a girl." She sighed looking up at the ceiling as if in her own little world.
"And you're just letting me go?" Gohan pondered aloud breaking the woman's trance.
"Yep, except" she started, but she faulted as she noticed Gohan growl under his breath, "except that I expect you back here by tomorrow night with someone you know and trust very well, if not, we will track you down exposing you."
"How can you?" he sniggered, "there are no other lockets."
"Don't underestimate me young Saiyan, there are at least another two Ex-fighters from Ws on this side of the planet."
"And tracking me down…"
"We have that covered." She smirked wickedly ruffling the teen's messy hair, he tapped her hand away frowning but soon it was replaced with a smile.
"Okay then, I choose Henran, he maybe an idiot but hey, he's my best friend."
"You can't choose Henran, he is one of them" she said with disgust before she added, "or Vegeta."
"What?!" he snapped as he bounced straight off the bed, "are you crazy? Like who then!?"
"Whoever you want, I'm sure you have more friends Gohan," the woman replied as she walked towards the door, "You have 24 hours."
"Wait, who are you?" he called out.
"Name's Jewel."
"Like Julie?"
"Julie?" she pondered aloud, "I like that, it's got a kind of ring to it." Julie then walked out of the room leaving Gohan to get ready to leave…
Not too long later…
The teenager stood before his window that had been in the room he had been in, something was wrong here, why are they being so nice? Didn't Henran say these people were bad, evil creatures? Well not in those words, but that's what he basically meant. Gohan actually liked these people, well only one person, Julie seemed really nice and some of the doctors seemed okay… well except from the times he was threatened to stay in his bed, mostly he gets threatened to get out of his bed by his mother at home.
He looked down at the locket he had in his hands and smiled to himself, 'home,' he then thought happily, he had never been so scared in his whole entire life, sure it was a fact easy to hide from the people who had supposedly saved (captured) him but that was what he was trained to do, lie and act. Knowing you were to die would have to be the scariest thing that had ever happened to him. He was lucky that he had been saved.
Cell was a huge threat towards Earth and his family and friends, even him himself! But Gohan had been, once again trained well enough by his teacher to fight people like Cell. Unfortunately, Gohan's training had lessened over the years, as his logical work had become harder, both at home and the school therefore he didn't have as much time to train, yet that didn't stop him from training completely seeing he had his own sessions with the all mighty prince and had his spars with his best friend and sensei.
Speaking of the pain in the backside for royalty why couldn't he bring Vegeta along anyway? He doubted that the Saiyan would say no knowing how he thirsted for adventure and action just like his 'good ole days', Gohan almost felt sympathy for the man, he had all the action, almost that is.
So who was he going to tell? Obviously Faita would throw a fit at the thought of him telling anybody else, yet that was better than everybody finding out, right? There wasn't a long list of people he could ask seeing that he didn't really keep in contact with them, sometimes he would see Yamcha and some other Z fighters round at their house for dinner and things like that, but it was a rare occasion and sometimes a treat. They would from time to time bring up that brave little fighter who beat Cell and desired no glory, none whatsoever. Gohan would just smirk every so often and stay quiet feeling a slight glimpse of pride for himself as they continued wondering who the mysterious fighter was, if they just knew that the fighter was right under their noses.
Anyway, presently Gohan drifted away from his thoughts brining him back down to Earth, this was NOT going to be a pretty sight telling the person who he had in mind about his powers; he could just see his head being torn off. Lovely. He moaned a small grunt and pressed the button on Julie's locket landing himself straight in Ws!
"YES!" he screamed out in pure joy, a couple of the tough looking aliens turned around and looked at him sharply with confusion, one walked up to him and asked if he was alright, Gohan grinned and nodded as he ran in the direction of Faita's room.
He soon opened the door to the room and ran straight in it seeing Faita in his computer chair typing something into his laptop whilst eating an apple, the sensei looked up to see his pupil and choked on his piece of fruit, Gohan raised an eyebrow at the man not bothering to help him. "That's what you get for sending my out on a stupid delivery mission, I'm not postman Pat, you know?"
"G-Gohan," he stuttered swallowing his apple properly, "you're alive!"
"No, I'm half dead," he said flatly lowering his eyebrows.
It didn't take long for Faita's excitement to ware thin as he commented, "shame that attitude didn't die though." He then went back to eating his half eaten piece of fruit and start typing on his laptop.
"Gee thanks," the hybrid said sarcastically, "I know when I'm loved." He lazily flopped down on the chair nearby and grabbed himself a piece of fruit from the fruit bowl where Faita obviously got his from, "so… whilst I've been dead what's been going on? Already got a new student? Oh the pain!" he exclaimed dramatically clenching his heart as he acted.
"No," he chuckled, "shame too, if you had been dead another two more weeks I might just have got one too…" he sighed before smirking at the teenager who was biting his way through his own apple.
"Again the love, it's all around me!" he bellowed throwing his arms up in the air dropping the apple on his head, "Ow!"
"That's what you get for being an idiot," he scolded shaking his head.
"Hey! You're the one who sent me on the stupid 'mission,'" he snapped throwing the dirty apple in the bin, "what the heck was in that parcel anyway?"
"A universal Locket."
"Damn!" he snarled wanting to scream out, he then breathed out calmly and smiled.
"Yet, you're in a good mood."
"I'm in a great mood actually, I've realized I'm not dead and-"
"You smell like it, I think you should get a shower!" the eldest said holding his nostrils shut with his fingers, Gohan gave a shrug before sniffing himself and sticking out his tongue in disgust in the progress.
"Hey, I'm working on it, well as I was saying I landed on a planet which was inhabited by some Saiyan-hating people-"
"You get a lot of them," he interrupted but immediately stopped as Gohan growled at him, "I remember when we senseis used to get respect!"
"You're living in the 90's!" he joked as he laughed nervously scratching the back of his head, "just kidding, heh, well… that planet turned out to be Henran's flipping home planet!"
"And I bet you had a lot of fun with the young prince?"
"You knew, you knew he was royalty and never told me?!" Gohan yelled, he then calmed down and rubbed his temples as he mumbled, "Nobody informs me on anything these days."
"That's because we are not supposed to, Henran's sensei doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut and blabs all the information about his student," he replied as he shrugged before he turned the laptop off and looked at the teenager.
"But everybody happens to know I was the one who fought against Friezer and kicked Cell's as-"
"Don't worry little Saiyan," his teacher said with sarcasm edging his words, "nobody knows that your shoe size is a seven."
"For crying out loud!" Gohan groaned, "can't I have any privacy!?" he then began to storm out of the room muttering "how the hell do you know these things?"
"It's a secret!" Faita shouted over to him sadistically, all he could hear was a loud moan in reply as the door slammed, he couldn't help but laugh at the scene, "If he keeps this up he's going to get in a lot of trouble when I'm not around," he muttered to himself rather than anybody else as he picked up his book and began reading.
The hybrid took his own locket which hung around his neck and appreciated it as he did the Julie's; he knew which one was his seeing his was not rusty and was a bronze color, Julie's was a silver with a small star on it and a lot smaller than his. 'Actually…' he thought joyfully as he put Julie's locket inside his own, 'that's a great idea.' Gohan then wasted no time in going home, (in reality he had just wasted time by showering just before); he then pressed the button and closed his eyes with a large grin.
Once he opened them he found himself to be back in his room, safe, sound and defiantly happy. That was it; he officially loved those people for sending him back! Yet Julie said that he had to go back tomorrow with someone… yay. Gohan shook his head clearing his head from any thoughts and ran straight to the door of his room, wait bad call; maybe he should go through the front door, yes that would be better…
After the teen had changed his clothes into casual and climbed out of the window he ran to the front door, he then speedily opened the door to see his mother cleaning the dishes, she hadn't even bothered to turn around, he faltered with confusion until she spoke, "Hey Goku, will you pick Goten up from Bulma's?" Gohan grinned to himself as he found his opportunity to greet his mother, he then walked up behind her and clasped his hands over her eyes.
"I think he's already gone, but you'll win a prize if you guess who I am," he said with a laugh at the end.
"Gohan!" she squealed as she turned around a hugged him tight.
"Hey mum," he answered hugging her back resting his head on her shoulders, his mother wasn't that much smaller than him seeing she was 5 ft 4 and he was only about 5 ft 6, he defiantly wasn't growing as fast as he wanted to but his father always said 'that he had his height!'.
"Gohan, you're late again!" she scolded but hugged him tighter; "I actually thought we had lost you this time."
"Na, You can't get rid of me until I'm in college, and then I'll be moping at your doorstep." He said holding his mother at arm's length.
Chichi wiped a tear and smiled a smirk, "Oh yeah?" she laughed, "I'll make sure that you have a girlfriend first!"
"Hey, you can't rush me into relationships! Even if the girls love me!" he then posed jokingly and pouted, his mother then burst out into fits of laughter.
"I don't know where you get your charm Gohan; it's not from me and defiantly not from your father." Gohan grinned at his mother again and took over the dishes before she had chance to stop him, "I don't know why you're being like this Gohan, your happiness is starting to creep me out."
"I nearly died out there so I think I have a reason to be happy, I want to celebrate my life!"
"You nearly died?!" she exclaimed panicking.
'Damn,' he though as he bit his bottom lip, "Yeah, um… a fish nearly ate me…"
"Oh ha, ha Gohan, you nearly had me petrified," she said breathing out her held in breath.
"Um mum, why don't you go lie down?" suggested the hybrid.
"What, why?"
"You look exhausted, I know it's only 6Pm but you must have been doing lots of work today."
"I do everyday son," she said folding her arms and raising her eyebrows.
"It's a sorry present?" he shrugged grinning, she then sighed and finally gave in by giving her son a kiss on the cheek and walking off to her bed. Once he had done the dishes he walked outside and locked the door behind him hoping that his father had a key, yet he wouldn't be too long with some luck, plus he knew how long he liked to spend at Bulma's. Suddenly a wave of seriousness overcame him as soon as he took into the air, he knew this wasn't going to turn out pretty; this was him we're talking about here. He gasped in some air out of nerves as he came closer to his destination, why did Julie have to be so mean and not let him pick Vegeta? He'll have to ask her that later.
He landed on the green grass which danced amongst the slight wind, it was a beautiful evening with the stunning and bright orange and pink sky combined together, and the Cherry-blossom petals flew about freely with birds which chirped in union. Although the sight helped Gohan become calmer it did not get rid of the amount of guilt he had for lying, well… best get this over and done with now.
Nearby the waterfall Gohan had flew to was his old teacher, he couldn't say old, actually he was still his mentor, still his sensei, he had two senseis which made him happy; Although Piccolo had stopped teaching the hybrid many years ago, but he did truly miss the Namek, the alien had trained him much differently to how Faita did. Piccolo opened an eye and curved his mouth into a smirk as he saw the not-so-much boy he used to spar with, he stood up properly and stared at him. How he had changed.
"Hey Piccolo," Gohan greeted with his usual, devious smirk. Taken back the green alien nodded and replied to the teenager.
"Long time, no see kid."
"Too long," said the hybrid looking up at his mentor with a small grin, there was then a silence; it wasn't an uncomfortable silence, just silence until Piccolo spoke.
"It seems like yesterday that we fought the Saiyans"
"I know, but that was nearly ten years ago, then I went to my studies…"
"Yes… how are your studies going?" he asked, not that he really cared.
"Define studies to me Piccolo," he said with seriousness in his voice as pink petals began to fall on his shoulders. The Namek raised his eyebrow curiously before asking what he had meant. The teenager smirked as he turned his back on the warrior, "I guess that doesn't really matter."
"I don't understand."
"Piccolo I have something to tell you," He said as he turned around and faced him, "I know who beat Cell…"
End of chapter.
