A bright shining day in Satan City, a peaceful morning that was quickly broken. Gun fire filled the air. A screech of tires as the sounds of yelling men and screaming victims. Loud laughter as more gunfire pinned down two police officers. Gohan almost ran by when he noticed this, and surprised that more crime had popped up alright. The young man lifted his bag off his body and dropped it. The moment following, he vanished only to reappear before the bag fell and grasping the bag once more. The gunfire suddenly stopped, instead the men robbing the near by bank slumped to their knees. Gohan nodded, impressed by his own speed. As he turned away, his gaze instead came to someone he did not expect.

Videl was coming toward him, seeming to not recognize him at first. But as she got closer, she seemed to get intense with her stare. "What are you doing here? What is going on here? Why is the Heir of Cap-?" Gohan cut her off before she could finish her next question by placing his hand over her mouth.

"Quiet, it is my first day I don't need people talking." Gohan said placing his finger to his lips. He then looked over to the scene of robbers now being captured by the police while they were conscious. "What do you think happened?" He asked, trying to change the subject.

Videl instead turned to the call she was asked to help with, only to see it was resolved. "If it is like the other cases, something knocked them out. Something that works quick, because no one else sees anything. They hear rapid steps though, which means something had to be making it. They are calling the perp the 'Invisible Guardian'."

"What a lame name." Gohan said before laughing a bit as he rubbed the back of his head. It seemed his appearance in Satan City has made a local myth. It was not the first time he used the quick step method to leave no visible trace of his presence since he started visiting Satan City.

"Local T.V. seems to like it. But I am more concern that it works so quick. If it decided to attack innocent people, my father would have to get involved." Videl said crossing her arms, as she scanned the area, looking for any hint of this unknown creature.

"Oh… well I am curtain who ever it is, it just is wanting to help. Anyway, I got to head out. I am going to be late for school." Gohan remarked as he began to take a step forward.

"Oh no you don't." Videl turned quickly and grabbed Gohan's shift and forced him to turn to her. "Explain, why are you here?" Her blue eyes pierced through the young man, Gohan turning his head and looking up.

"Well… I am going to a school here." Gohan bashfully spoke, trying to keep matter of fact.

"For… what… reason…" Videl spoke with growing annoyance, leaning in to impose more.

Gohan sighed. "I wanted to go to a school where people might not know who I am." Gohan said, rubbing the back of his head. "I am tired of people hovering around me to be my friends just because I come from a rich family. So please, don't say anything." He placed his hands together to plead slightly.

Videl cocked her eye and just shook her head. "Whatever. At least you're not the child of the world savior. But it does mean your buying my lunch from now on." Videl said with a smile, glad to catch Gohan in a way of owing her. "Come on, I will take you to school. Looks like we go to the same school." She pointed to his badge, Gohan realizing she had the same badge on her shirt at hip level. Gohan realized all to quickly, that Videl was not done teasing him.

-Orange Star High School-

Gohan thanked Videl for the ride. In return the young woman just smirked and reminded that he better keep his side of the deal if he wanted to keep his secret. Gohan instead gulped and nodded. He was glad that he would not be stuck having to deal with her all day, but it did mean he would have to ask for a bit more of an allowance. He couldn't believe she was blackmailing him, and figured she would be more willing to give him a break.

Videl went to class first, Gohan needed to turn in so he could be properly introduced for his own class. Instead he moved to the office of the large high school. Given his class number and lead to his class. As he entered and was introduced, he heard for him to claim a seat next to a lovely blonde. But he froze when he saw Videl sitting next to her, the black-haired vixen just smiled like she got her toy back. The teacher demanded for Gohan to take his seat, the lavender haired boy nodded before taking his seat next to Videl's friend.

"Hey, I am Erasa! This is Videl, and that is Sharpner." The cheerful girl spoke with a coy little smile as she checked out Gohan.

"It is nice to meet you." Gohan sat and tried to be kind but keep his eyes away from Videl.

Erasa giggling as she poked at him. "Oh, you noticed huh. I bet you didn't expect to see the daughter of Mr Satan in class with you."

"Yeah, I am a pretty big deal here." She said leaning in, Gohan laughing nervously. "We should have lunch together, maybe we could have you join our little Musketeers group."

"I thought they were the Three Musketeers, wouldn't him hanging out with us ruin that." Sharpner leaned back in his chair, arms crossed behind his head. "Besides, I don't he really fits our group."

"The Three Musketeers was a story about the four musketeers, three senior members and a rookie. So, my joining would be appropriate." Gohan said as he opened his book. "What page are we on?" Erasa giggling at Sharpner's sudden defeat by wit, but soon helped Gohan find his spot with the class.

"So Gohan, where you from?" Erasa asked suddenly. "I heard your from far away."

"Yeah…" Gohan said as he resisted his eyes from turning to Videl. "I am from Parsley City, near West City." He lied. "My Uncle has an extra place nearby, so he is letting me stay there for school."

"Oh, do you have a car? Maybe you can take me home?" She asked flirting with the rather cute man.

Gohan could feel his face flush red. "I-I can't drive, I never learned how. I instead walk to school. S-sorry."

"Oh, well maybe you could walk me home then someday. You know, when you have learned Satan City more." Erasa said not willing to let her 'dibs' be let go so easily.

Later that day the school's P.E. has Baseball. Gohan had played once or twice, and found it hard to hold back his strength in swings. This story's Gohan though has a better knowledge of the limits of people and when Sharpner makes a home run, Gohan does not 'accidentally' jump to catch it. His turn to bat, he simply bunts the ball instead. Dashing forward as slowly as he could, still put him to first base before the enemy team could out him. Leaving less of an impression, but Videl did notice just how fast he was.

At the end of school, Videl offers to give Gohan a ride. Gohan did not want to be caught in his lie, as to try and explain it to her would make things more difficult. Instead he refused, only to peak her interest in why. Erasa instead asking if Gohan would like to hangout, maybe catch a movie, no point to going to an empty house to study when he could be with friends and relax. Gohan thought to say no, but had an idea that if he went that Videl would have to leave him alone at some point.

The following few hours was one that was quite enjoyable to just relax. Gohan would have to apologize to his dad later, and sent a message to his mother to not wait for him for dinner. He tried to explain things the best he could, Bulma teasing her son for getting a girlfriend on his first day. Gohan embarrassed by the text, but enjoyed just hanging out with the fellow teenagers.

That is until it was getting late. Erasa, Videl, Sharpner, and Gohan all left a late movie. Passing into the dark neighborhood to get Erasa home safe, and just to draw out the night. He was glad Videl was keeping her promise, and it made the night enjoyable. Which ended when Sharpner had a sudden run in with a group. Yelling back at them to watch where they were going, only to make the thuggish group turn. They instead ignored Sharpner's comment and instead pointed out that the two boys had some good-looking girls. Sharpner stepped in the way of Videl and Erasa, much to Videl's commenting she didn't need protecting. Gohan pulled Erasa closer, as the group out numbered the two of them.

A fight soon started, and while Sharpner was strong for a human and had training in Boxing… he was still outnumbered with people that fought dirty. Videl, having martial arts training handled plenty of her own opponents. But when pulled out a weapon, Gohan got serious. Sharpner's eyes widened as a knife went for him, only for Gohan to suddenly appear in the way. The lavender haired boy placed his hand to the thug's chest and pushed him, sending the thug back at least ten feet and rolling on the ground. Then he was gone, Sharpner did not even see him move. But Gohan was already rose his arm and caught a chain being swung for Videl, tugging it to make the thug forced to move to him. Gohan stood like a wall, the Thug simply ran into his body. Looking up and as Gohan's eyes looked down at the man.

"You will leave now, before I get angry." Gohan said. Instead the man swung a punch into the young man's chin, and crying out as he held his own hand. Gohan lifted his hand and chopped against the man's neck to knock him out in one blow. The three humans left looking at Gohan surprised.

"You… you moved so fast…" Sharpner said unable to understand what just happened.

"So fast… that no one could see you move." Videl said, her eyes wide in surprise before staring him down again. "You're this Invisible Guardian aren't you!?" Erasa gasped in a mixture of joy and surprise.

Gohan looked Videl in the eyes as she seemed to demand confirmation. "Of course not. You were focused on the fight so much you just didn't notice my movement. I moved just inside your vision the last moment. It is a technique I learned from my master."

"You are a martial artist?" Sharpner asked. "What school?" He wanted to know as the idea of this 'technique' might help him win more boxing matches.

"Not a school, a master." Gohan remarked. "He learned from someone call the Turtle Hermit back in the day. I guess you can assume it is lightly based on that." The hybrid tried to tie in a bit of truth to sound like he knew what he was talking about. Videl's eyes still focused on him intensely as if trying to find proof of his lie. "Let's get Erasa home, and quickly. I don't want to find out these guys find out where she lives." He said concerned.

The remaining of the night was uneventful, Videl soon having a thousand texts demanding to know where she was and calling her home. Gohan glad that she would not be able to follow him. Erasa being taken home safely, Gohan headed outside of the city. It was getting pretty late, and if he wanted any sleep he needed to get home soon. Once out of the city limits, he entered a small house. It was purchased by his mother through other channels, which was done to keep his secret. Once the door was closed, he lightly played with a ring on his left hand. "Home." He called out, suddenly vanished from the bare home. Instead he appeared in West City, in his room, and flopped onto the bed as he wondered if every day was going to be this difficult.

As we tie up this chapter, we find that Gohan is trying to balance his life in West City and his new life as a high school student. Will the fact he showed off his skills provided a new avenue for his fate? Will a regular school life be ever an option for him? let us see what happens in the next few chapters.
