Chapter 29. The purging life.
The four Saiyans decided they needed to relax so they went to a spa. There, they picked the most expensive mineral bath and now they sat in there.
The three adults floated in the water, trying to relax. Their eyes closed while the bubbles did their work. There was one thing that kept them from relaxing though. That thing was swimming around in the big hot tub. Gohan dived underwater and got up again. The boy swam to the right side, before he turned around and swam to the other side. Vegeta opened his eyes and snarled. "Half-breed, stop that! You are making me nervous."
Gohan turned to him. "But I am just swimming around."
"Stop that, then. This isn't for swimming around. This is for relaxing so you should do that." Vegeta answered glaring at the boy.
Gohan growled. "That's boring. I have too much energy for lying around."
"You can use that energy in a few hours when we are destroying this planet." Raditz answered amused. "Now come and sit."
Gohan swam next to Raditz. Vegeta nodded and relaxed again. Gohan closed his eyes and stayed silent for a few minutes while he annoyed the others with waving his tail around in the water. Gohan opened his eyes and pulled on the white shorts he got from the bathing centre. The boy put his hands under his head and looked up. The ceiling was made of windows. Gohan watched the stars fly by. This planet rotated much faster than the most planets he went to.
Gohan sighed and shifted. This was boring. The boy looked at the others. They didn't seem to be bored. The boy frowned. "I am bored."
"Quiet down, Boy."
Gohan sat up. "I am not a dog." He said frowning. Vegeta splashed water towards him. The boy just splashed back. Raditz opened one eye and reached out. He grabbed Gohan by his shoulder and pulled him down.
The boy frowned and pushed the hand away. Gohan wondered if they would notice when he quietly swam away. Gohan shifted towards the deeper water. He gave a quick look at the Saiyans. They seemed to notice nothing. Gohan shifted further and reached towards the deeper water with his foot. "Stay."
Gohan looked at Vegeta, who smirked at him. "Don't think we didn't notice."
Gohan shrugged. "It was worth a try."
Vegeta pointed at the spot next to Raditz. "Now stay there before I tie you up."
Gohan chuckled and shifted back. "All right. Don't freak out." He said lying down again. "I am still bored though."
"Stop whining." Raditz answered looking at the boy. Gohan narrowed his eyes and pushed him. Raditz smirked. "Don't think I will fall for that. I want to stay here."
Gohan sighed. "Okay, I give up." The boy lied down and closed his eyes. Gohan frowned and got up. "Wait a second. Who is going to pay for this?"
Vegeta smirked. "Nobody. After this we will just destroy the city."
Gohan smiled and lied down. "Wow, we are stealing."
Vegeta shrugged. "We have been doing it more often lately." Gohan rolled on his stomach and crept towards the plates with food. There he grabbed something and nibbled on it.
Nappa looked up. "Half-breed."
Gohan looked at the man. "Toss me that a green thing."
Gohan smirked. "What's wrong with your arms?" He asked as he waved with the 'green' thing.
Nappa shrugged. "You are there, so why move?"
Gohan nodded. "Good point. Why would I go through the trouble of tossing it to you?"
Nappa pulled a face. "Just toss it."
Gohan did as told and looked up when a group of warriors came in. "We have company."
The green warriors frowned and one man with black hair stepped forward. "You! You came here to destroy the planet."
Vegeta chuckled. "Wow, I knew they were blunt on this planet but this .. "
Gohan glanced at Vegeta and looked back at the warriors again. "Hi, there. This room is taken." He waved them away.
The warriors ignored him and turned to the adults. "We don't want you here." The same man yelled at them. "Go away from here!"
Gohan leaned on his hands and watched the warriors with amusement. They noticed they were ignored and the 'leader' sent a blast at the Saiyans. Gohan extended his hand and sent his own blast, deflecting the other blast. "Blasting people when they are not looking isn't very nice, you know."
"Sorry, we are not nice to murderers." The man answered looking back at the small boy.
Gohan grinned. "Hey, someone has got to do it." The warriors were a bit taken back by this casual answer. Vegeta noticed himself being a little impressed too. Since when did the boy act like that?
"If you don't scramble now, we are going to make you leave." The warrior threatened. The others nodded.
Gohan turned to the Saiyans. "Oh, no. We are in trouble." He said with a smile.
"I noticed." Raditz answered, glancing at him. The man sat up and looked back at the group of warriors.
Vegeta stretched. "Half-breed, take care of them." Raditz lied down again.
"Why me?" Gohan asked, raising an eyebrow.
Vegeta shrugged and glanced at him. "You were bored."
Gohan nodded. "Good point." The boy jumped up and pulled his shorts straight. After this he walked up to the group. "All right. You can go now. We came here to relax and you are not helping."
The warriors blinked a few times and stared at the small boy. Then they started laughing. Gohan frowned and crossed his arms. One of the warriors stepped closer. "Damn, should we be impressed now, Little boy?" He asked mockingly.
"They are sending the little ones first." Another warrior added laughing. "We should go get our own children."
"They should have told us it was 'bring your children to work' day."
The warriors slowly quieted down. Gohan pressed his lips together. "Done?"
The man with black hair put his hands on his hips. "Go home, Baby. We are here for an adult fight."
"Well, I can't give you the adult part but I am ready for a fight." Gohan answered, cracking his knuckles.
The black-haired man laughed. "Go sit on your mommy's lap, Kid."
"My mother is out of reach at the moment." Gohan looked up at the man. "Ever heard the phrase, 'Size doesn't matter'?" Vegeta noticed this could get amusing and turned over onto his stomach. The man put his elbows on the ground and rested his head on his hands.
"When someone is your size, it does matter." Another man answered amusedly.
Vegeta chuckled. "Big mistake."
Gohan nodded and slowly raised his power level. "Very big mistake."
The warrior put a hand in front of his mouth. "Oh, no! I angered the child. I am in big trouble."
Raditz smirked. "Yes you are."
The warrior stepped closer to Gohan. "All right, Kid. I must admit you are really brave to stand up to us like that, but if I were you, I would want to rethink my priorities."
Gohan raised an eyebrow. "Priorities?" The boy uncrossed his arms and brushed over his hair. "What?"
"You are so young." The warrior muttered before he turned to the Saiyans. "Nice father, pushing his child into doom like that." He turned to Gohan again. "Your old man isn't even helping you."
"My father did everything he could to keep me alive. He even died for it. So you have NO right to say something like that." Gohan screamed at him.
The warrior stepped back but the others frowned. "He failed to teach you manners though."
Gohan growled. "Damn, when I am grown up, am I really going to say that to every child I see?" The boy turned to the Saiyans. "Does every adult think like that?"
Vegeta shrugged and smirked. "Brats have to respect their elders."
Gohan rolled his eyes. "Too bad those elders aren't any better."
Gohan smirked and turned to the warriors. "Well…" The boy spread his arms. "I guess you have to teach me."
"Great idea." The warriors surrounded the small boy. Vegeta nudged the others and pointed at the group. The other two went to watch the fight too.
Gohan pulled a face and slowly turned in a circle. "Let's see… One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten." The boy pouted. "You are with ten adults against one little child. How dare you."
"You asked for it."
Gohan grinned. "I deserve at least fifteen warriors." He said getting in a fighting stance.
The warriors did the same. "You can still turn back, Kid."
Gohan yawned. "Are we going to fight or what?"
Two warriors attacked him at this. Gohan jumped up and kicked one away. The other one was slammed to the ground by a blast. "Two down. Eight to go."
Gohan was kicked to the ground by another warrior and received a punch from the black-haired one. Gohan growled and wiped blood from his chin. He was kicked in the stomach and fell to the ground. He ducked lower to avoid a punch and then jumped up to avoid another one. Gohan turned midair and kicked one man into the wall. After this he blasted two others. The boy smiled. "Wow, I am on fire."
Vegeta chuckled. "Literally."
Gohan frowned and turned around when two blasts hit him. He was knocked to the ground where a few other blasts hit him. Gohan growled and went to get up. A warrior however grabbed the boy and kicked him in the stomach.
After this he whirled around and tossed Gohan into the wall. Gohan pushed off from the wall and raced back at the warrior putting his fist through the man's stomach. The boy pulled his fist back and blasted the man.
Gohan counted four warriors remaining now and frowned. This was going too fast. The boy smirked and tossed one in the wall. After that he grabbed a man and threw him into the other man. Gohan was hit from behind by a warrior and turned around. He grabbed the man's hand and spun it on his back. "Wow, taken down by a small child. That must feel terrible." He mocked the man.
He released the man and the warrior stumbled forwards. Gohan deflected a blast, sending it back to the sender. Gohan smiled. "So, what now?" The warriors frowned and attacked him. Gohan dodged their attacks with ease and even managed to laugh. "Wow, this is great."
A warrior growled and punched the boy. Gohan ducked and kicked the man in the stomach then kicked the man's head completely off. The head landed a few feet from the three adults. Vegeta frowned and blasted it. "Half-breed. Stop fooling around."
Gohan glanced at him. "I am just having fun. Let me." He answered blasting another man. The two remaining adults looked at each other and ran away. Gohan smirked and appeared in front of them. "Going somewhere?"
The warriors attacked him with a scream. Gohan knocked one away with a spinning kick. The other he punched in the face before he blasted the man away. The boy turned his sights to the last warrior, who was the black-haired man.
Gohan rushed towards him and kicked the man to the ground. The black-haired warrior quickly got up and looked around. "Where are you?"
"Right here." A whisper from behind him made the man flinch. Gohan grabbed the man's head and looked at him. "So, who's the baby now?"
"You are sick." The man sputtered with wide eyes. Gohan nodded. "I know. So tell me. Who's the baby now?" He added pressure on the man's head and the warrior screamed. "Come on."
"I am! I am the baby." The man screamed, crying in pain.
Gohan smiled. "Thank you." He quickly crushed the man's head. After this he blasted him and the remains of the warriors. The boy stretched and went to walk back to the bath.
"Oh no!" Vegeta said frowning. "You are taking a shower first." He continued pointing to the shower.
Gohan raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"You are soaked in blood." Raditz answered motioning to the boy. Gohan looked down and gulped. They were right. He was covered with purple blood. Gohan walked to the showers and washed it off. Gohan looked in the mirror and frowned. Since when did he become a monster?
Less then a year ago he freaked out when someone called him a murderer and now he was killing for fun. That wasn't right. Gohan sighed. He couldn't do anything about it now, anyway. The only thing he could do was let it go.
Gohan slid back into the tub and stretched. The boy smiled satisfied and closed his eyes. Nappa glanced at Gohan. "Someone had a good time."
Gohan smiled and ignored him. The boy frowned and looked up. 'I did have a good time, didn't I? Should I be able to have a good time when I am killing others? That can't be good. I don't know why I enjoyed it. Maybe I am going crazy.' Gohan stared at the ceiling. 'There is nothing I can do about it. I guess enjoying it is better than crying every time I do it.'
A long silence fell in the room. Vegeta frowned and opened his eyes. He looked at Gohan to see the boy staring at the ceiling. The man smirked. "Half-breed. What's up?"
Gohan looked up. "What?"
"Something is on your mind." Vegeta answered sitting up.
Gohan tilted his head, raising an eyebrow. "What makes you think something is on my mind?"
Vegeta shrugged. "You are not moving, speaking or making any annoying sounds. That means you are thinking about something."
Gohan pulled a face. "It's nothing."
"Just come out with it." Vegeta answered, frowning. "I can't stand the silence."
Gohan chuckled. "See, I knew you like it when I am not listening."
Vegeta grinned. "Then I have something do to." The man moved in the water and swam towards Gohan. "So, what's up?"
Gohan sat up. "Am I completely screwed up?" He asked, frowning.
Vegeta nodded with a grin. "Yes."
"I am serious." Gohan answered gliding in the water too.
Vegeta smiled. "Who says I'm not?" Gohan glared at him. Vegeta chuckled. "All right. Why do you ask?"
Raditz got up too. "Don't worry, Half-breed. The fact that you don't mind killing doesn't mean you are screwed up." He said amused.
Gohan looked down. "It is not like I just didn't mind it. I noticed I like doing it…"
"That just means you are starting to be like us." Raditz answered, nodding.
Gohan looked up. "That is exactly what I am afraid of." He said with a faint smile. Vegeta pushed him underwater. Gohan got up and laughed. "Sorry, I couldn't resist it."
Vegeta smirked. "I know what you mean." The man pushed Gohan underwater again. Gohan got up and coughed. The boy growled and pushed Vegeta underwater. The man swam away and Gohan followed him. Vegeta turned around and smirked. "Watch out."
Gohan raised an eyebrow. "What… Help!" Gohan yelped when Nappa got up under him, successfully placing Gohan on his shoulders. The boy growled. "Damn, I feel like a four year old."
Nappa grinned and looked up. "You must have a great view up there."
Gohan rolled his eyes and went to jump off when Raditz came up in front of him. "Hi there." He grabbed the boy on his shoulders and pushed him off Nappa's shoulders. Gohan fell in the water and closed his eyes.
The boy got up, just to be pulled down again. Gohan turned to Raditz with a frown. "You are dead, Raditz." He said before he attacked the Saiyan.
() **** **** ()
The four Saiyans walked into a store. Vegeta grabbed a few apples. "How come they have these on every planet?" He asked frowning as he tossed the apples to the others.
Gohan shrugged and caught the apple. "I guess they're able to grow everywhere." Gohan caught a second apple and frowned. "Why this?" He asked looking at it.
Vegeta grinned. "You need to grow."
Gohan growled and threw the apple back to Vegeta. The man dodged it and bit in his own apple. Gohan continued his walk and looked around. "This shop has a lot of stuff." He muttered looking around.
Vegeta nodded. "Yes, it has." Gohan sneaked a book in his uniform. Vegeta caught it and pulled the boy closer with his tail. "Give it up." He said holding out his hand.
Gohan frowned at the tail around his waist and looked up. "Give what up?" He asked innocently.
"The book." Vegeta answered pushing against Gohan's armor with his finger.
Gohan pushed the hand away. "I don't have a book."
"You are a bad liar." Vegeta said amused. "Come on."
Gohan frowned and handed the book. "I still don't get why I can't read books."
"Live with it." Vegeta answered tossing the book back.
Gohan looked at the books and smiled. "I think I am going to look around, alone."
Vegeta laughed. "No, you are coming with me." He answered walking away. Gohan was pulled with Vegeta since the tail was still around his waist. Gohan made a fist, extending two fingers. He moved them to Vegeta's tail, surrounding the fury tail with his two fingers. There he moved over the tail, brushing against the hairs. Vegeta shuddered and pulled his tail back. "Don't do that!" Vegeta yelled agitated, brushing over his own tail with his hands. "That is terrible."
"Aahh, did I hurt you?" Gohan asked mockingly as his own tail brushed over Vegeta's.
The Saiyan glared at the hybrid and walked away. "Let's go."
Gohan chuckled and followed him. The boy secretly reached out and grabbed a book. He hid it in his uniform. They found the other two Saiyans arguing about food. Gohan grabbed some pink candy he found interesting. The boy nibbled on it and smiled. "wow, this is good."
Gohan grabbed his food capsule and opened it. There he loaded the candy in the box and licked his lips. The boy looked up. "Let's see." He walked to black long candy and sniffed. "This smells great." He muttered tossing it in the box. After grabbing a few other things he went to close the box.
"Excuse me, young man."
Gohan looked up and turned around. "Me?"
A man with white hair nodded. He wore a black suit with a white tie. The man put his hands on his hips. "I hope you are planning on paying for that." He said pointing at the box.
Gohan shrugged and knelt down again. "Not really." He answered numbly.
The man frowned. "You are planning on stealing it?"
Gohan growled. "You ask too many questions." The boy pointed over his shoulder with his finger. A red beam emerged from his finger and shot through the man. Gohan looked back and smiled. "I should thank Vegeta for that trick."
The boy closed his capsule and got up. He walked back to the Saiyans. Vegeta was just grabbing drinks. "Want something from this, Half-breed?"
Gohan looked at the drinks and nodded. "This one. That is great." He pointed at a bottle with purple juice. Vegeta grabbed it and put it in the 'drink' box.
The man got up and looked around. "Well, I guess that's it. Did you get the candy you wanted?" He asked Gohan. The boy nodded with a smile. He always got candy when they went shopping.
"All right." Vegeta said with a smirk as he cracked his knuckles. "It is time to go to work."
The others nodded and powered up. They started blasting people and buildings. Gohan shot through a large building and smirked when it crumbled down. He blasted the rubble to nothing and went to the next building. He noticed it was a school. The children there were crying and screaming. Gohan frowned and bit his lip. Children were something else. Vegeta noticed this and pushed Gohan away. "Go work somewhere else." He muttered.
Gohan smiled thankfully and flew away, destroying buildings on his way. Vegeta shook his head. "I really don't get him. He loves killing older people but when it comes to children younger than him." Vegeta extended his hands and sent a blast. The school was gone within a few seconds.
Gohan floated somewhere else and sent a blast at a high school like building. The teenagers in there all frowned at him before they widened their eyes and screamed. The building blew up and Gohan smirked. "Later."
Gohan descended to the ground, deciding to look around for a while. He noticed sounds coming from an alley and walked in. There he found Raditz making out with a girl. Gohan chuckled. "Wow, someone is taking advantage of the moment."
Raditz pulled away and frowned at him. "Go away." He said waving Gohan away. "This isn't for small children to see."
Gohan shook his head and floated up. "Always use protection, Raditz!" He yelled back. He heard a growl from the adult and laughed. The boy blasted a few more buildings and the city was done. The four Saiyans met up again. Gohan turned to Raditz. "Where is your lady love?"
"Dead." Raditz answered smirking. "She was shocked by your comment and ran away. Stupid girl."
Gohan grinned and put his hands up. "Sorry."
"You know, you are bad for our sex life." Vegeta said looking around. He motioned for them to come and they followed him. "Maybe if you got one of your own, you can leave ours alone."
"Dream on, Vegeta." Gohan answered looking at the nature. "We can keep the nature intact?"
Vegeta nodded and turned to him with a smile. "So, why don't we seek a nice girl in the next town? I bet she will be eager to do something if her life depends on it."
Raditz laughed. "We don't have to worry about eagerness. With someone like him everybody is eager." He tousled Gohan's hair.
The boy smacked his hand away and ignored them. The boy looked down. "Everybody." He muttered frowning.
They reached the next city where they looked around. Vegeta grinned and pointed at a building. "Hey, Half-breed." Gohan looked his way. "Look there."
Gohan looked in the direction Vegeta was pointing. The boy shrugged. "A school. Wow."
"It is a school for teenagers." Raditz said amused, pressing the buttons on his scouter.
Gohan widened his eyes and shook his head. "No!" He raced away but Vegeta appeared in front of him.
"Come on." He turned the boy around and pushed him towards the school. Gohan growled.
They descended to the ground and walked in the school. There they looked around. Gohan crossed his arms. A young woman walked up to them. Her hair was white and she had a light blue skin. The woman wore a tight black suit. "Hello. I'm Sarela. May I ask why you came here?"
Vegeta looked at her and put a hand on Gohan's shoulder. "We wanted to put him in school but we seem to fail in finding a good one." Gohan glared at the Saiyan.
Sarela nodded with a smile. "You will notice this is a fine school. Why don't you come with me and I will show you around."
Vegeta smirked. "We wanted to take a look at his new class." Gohan's lips curled and he shook his head. Vegeta squeezed his shoulder and the boy looked up. Gohan tried to catch the man's eyes but Vegeta didn't look at him.
Sarela nodded and turned to Gohan. "If you tell me your age, I will find your class."
"I'm fifteen." Gohan answered smiling innocently.
Sarela nodded. "The fifteenth grade is right around this corner. Let me tell you; we need boys in that class. Ninety percent of that grade is girls."
Raditz raised an eyebrow. "Really?" The man prodded in Gohan's arm and the boy chuckled. This was too easy. Gohan looked around and noticed a fire hose with a container of water next to it. A small idea began to form and he turned to the class as they walked in.
The door opened and a group of teenagers looked their way. Gohan waved and looked up when Vegeta walked in. "Let's see." He looked around and smirked. "Wow, good meat."
Sarela frowned. "I'm sorry sir but you can't walk in the class like this." Vegeta put his hand up and sent an annoyed glare her way. The woman gulped and turned to the teacher.
The man with short black hair frowned and walked towards Vegeta. "Excuse me, sir. I must ask you to leave."
"Don't worry." Vegeta said walking around. "We will be gone in a few minutes." He smirked and grabbed a girl with long black hair. "This one is good." He said looking at Gohan. The boy leaned against the doorway and shrugged.
Raditz pointed at another girl. "I like this one better." He said pulling her up. The teenagers in the room were watching Gohan closely. The boy smiled.
Nappa shook his head and grabbed another girl with shorter black hair. The girl frowned. "Let me go!"
Vegeta and Raditz looked her way and nodded. "That's the one." They said, thinking they needed a feisty girl for a Saiyan.
Nappa grinned and pushed the struggling girl towards Gohan. "Look. I brought you a date."
The other girls in the room frowned and started yelling. "That's not fair!"
"We didn't know that was the plan!"
"She is taken!"
Vegeta chuckled. "Oh, God. We should have stayed quiet about that." He said amused before he turned to Gohan. "You have got them standing in line, Boy."
"I know." Gohan answered smiling. He grabbed the black-haired girl by her arm and winked at her. "Come with me."
The girl smiled and Gohan pulled her towards a small hallway. There he put his finger on her lips. The girl nodded. Gohan walked towards the container with water. There he motioned for the girl to come and held the fire hose ready. "Let's get out of here. They wouldn't mind if we sneak away." He said winking at her.
The girl laughed. "Good idea. I know a nice place where we can be alone." She answered amused.
In the class room Vegeta was looking at the other girls. He looked up when he heard the sentences. "Did you hear that?" He asked the others.
They both nodded. Nappa frowned and walked towards the hallway. The other two followed him. The moment they reached the corner and went around it Gohan turned to fire hose on. The water raced its way towards the Saiyans, who yelled when it hit them. Gohan let the fire hose fall on the ground and laughed, putting his hands on his stomach. The girl was lying on the ground from laughing too. The other teenagers, who came to see what happened, started laughing when they saw the scene. Vegeta growled and pointed at Gohan. "You! Just wait until I get my hands on you!"
The teenagers fell silent at this, all staring at the three angry Saiyans with wide eyes. Gohan was the only one still laughing. The boy wiped the tears of his face and smiled. "Surprise."
"Surprise this!" Vegeta screamed launching at the boy. Gohan jumped up and raced towards the door. There Raditz was in his way and grabbed the boy's tail. Gohan frowned and grabbed Raditz's tail.
Raditz smirked. "I have your tail."
Gohan shrugged. "I have yours."
Raditz nodded. "There is just one little difference. Mine is numb but yours.." Raditz caressed the tail with two fingers and Gohan shuddered. "…can still feel something." Gohan frowned and caressed Raditz's tail the same way. He only earned a different caress on his own tail forcing him to laugh. Raditz smirked at the others. "I have got him."
Vegeta nodded with a smirk and grabbed the boy on his hair. Gohan pouted. "It was just a joke."
Vegeta chuckled. "I can make jokes like that too, Brat."
The man walked away with the boy, followed by Raditz who was still holding his tail. Gohan was still pouting. "Come on. You can't be mad about this. You were trying to set me up."
The three Saiyans ignored him and continued their walk. They ended up somewhere in the forest where Vegeta turned to the frowning boy. The man smirked and put his hands on Gohan's shoulders. Vegeta looked in Gohan's frightened eyes as he pushed him backwards. Gohan stepped back until he was up against a tree. Before he knew what happened Raditz appeared next to him and tied a rope around his body, successfully tying him to the tree.
Gohan frowned and struggled. "Damn it, what is this?" he asked as Raditz made sure his hands were pressed against the tree. That way he couldn't make blasts if he didn't want to burn the tree.
Vegeta chuckled. "Isn't it funny? I think it is." He said tousling the boy's hair. After this he looked at the others. "Why don't we destroy that city and come back to make a nice fire?"
The other two adults nodded amused. Gohan frowned. "You can't leave me here." They ignored him and flew away. Gohan struggled. "Hey! Don't you dare leave me here! Come back!"
Three hours later, the Saiyans came back. Vegeta walked to Gohan, noticing the ropes were loosened. The man tightened them around the boy. Gohan growled. "I nearly had them."
Vegeta nodded and pulled the ropes straight. "I noticed. Too bad we don't want you free just yet." Gohan pushed Vegeta with his shoulder. Vegeta smirked and cupped his chin. "Don't worry. We will release you, after we eat." The man walked away and started collecting wood for a fire. Gohan growled and watched the Saiyans prepare for something to eat. After a while the three Saiyans were eating and poor Gohan had to watch everything from a few feet away.
At least he wasn't cold. The fire was close enough to warm him. The boy's stomach rumbled and Gohan looked down. "Damn it."
Vegeta looked up. "So, are you sorry?" He asked amused. Gohan frowned and looked away. Vegeta shrugged. "All right. Then we will leave this pile of food to rot." Vegeta motioned to the pile of meat and fruit which was waiting for Gohan.
The boy bit his lip. "All right. All right. I am sorry."
Vegeta nodded and got up. "Good boy." He said tousling his hair before he loosened the ropes. Gohan jumped away and sat down. There he immediately started eating. Six amused eyes watched Gohan's every movement as he gobbled the meat down. After a few minutes Gohan started tasting what he ate.
The boy spit it out and looked at his meat. Gohan widened his eyes and raced towards the bushes where he threw up. The three adults laughed. Gohan frowned and wiped his face. "Damn it." He muttered looking back at the pile of rotten flesh. "I'd better not get sick!"
Vegeta shrugged and grinned. "Saiyans rarely get sick." He pointed at another pile. "There is your real meal."
Gohan shook his head. "No thanks. I am not hungry anymore." He muttered glaring at them. The boy walked over to the supplies for the beds and started making one. Vegeta looked over at him. "You'd better make our beds too." He snarled at the boy.
Gohan rolled his eyes and started making the other beds. After a while he lied down in his bed and looked at the stars. He listened to the others, who were getting in the bed. Vegeta lied down in the bed next to him. "Next time think twice before you pull a prank on us."
Gohan nodded innocently. "I will do that." The boy turned away from Vegeta as a small smirk crept on his face. After a few seconds the three adults jumped up with yelps. They all found snakes in their beds. Vegeta growled and grabbed it. "Damn it!"
Gohan chuckled and turned to them. "Now we're even." Vegeta nodded with a smirk.
"Yes, we are." He tossed the snake at Gohan, who blasted it and lied down. "This isn't over."
Gohan stretched. "We will continue tomorrow."
Vegeta nodded and brushed through the boy's hair. "Tomorrow."
Hehe.. Another chapter done. I'm glad that most of you didn't get sick of the story yet,, See you next time!
