Iba's Notes: Bleh. So busy with school, and I only got TWO reviews for my last chapter O_o!?!? I don't know what went wrong ;_;
Gohan rang the doorbell and took in a deep breath. He stood at the door wearing a turtle neck to cover his bruise, looking like some big dork.
Dr. Tomoe was the one to answer the door, and he smiled seeing Gohan's face. "Ah, you're the one that's been hanging around with my daughter a lot. What brings you here today?"
"S-sir..." Gohan bowed in greeting. "I need to speak to Hotaru."
"Oh SURE ya do," Tomoe nudged him, and got that look in his eyes just like Goku. "You can come right in. She's up stairs to the left; quiet when you enter, she's doing her make-up work."
As quietly as told to, Gohan entered Hotaru's room. Her back was to him, she had apparently fallen asleep while doing her work.
Gohan gently ushered her awake with a few pats on the shoulder. "Hotaru..."
Hotaru fraily sighed, and slowly opened her eyes. "Mr.....Son?"
"Hotaru." He sat beside her, glumly. "I know about you..."
She angelicly smiled to him. "What about me, Mr. Son? There's nothing special about me. It's obvious."
"No." Gohan held out his hand, and made a small ball of energy appear at his palm. "Hotaru, I am half human."
Hotaru stood back, a glaive appeared in her hands and at pointed it at Gohan's neck. "What are you?"
"No," Gohan stood as well, and took a step toward her and she moved the glaive back with him. "The question is what are you? Why are you here? You're destructive..."
"I-I can't control it," Hotaru tried to explain.
Gohan took another step toward her. "Tell me Hotaru, when was the last time we met?"
"In the hospital right?"
He frowned, and shook his head. "I was here last night."
"So you broke my window!?" Hotaru fixed her eyebrows angrily at him.
"You did that. And you also did," Gohan pulled down the turtle neck to reveal the brownish mark on his neck, "this too."
"You're lying," Hotaru accused him.
"Am I?" Gohan backflipped out of her open --and newly repaired-- window.
Hotaru ran to the sill, and watched him levitate before her in awe.
"Hotaru..." Gohan slid through the air back over to her. He put his arms around her and she did nothing. "You should know, I will destroy you."
He then, backed away and flew off.
The next day, Usagi and the others came. They were very disapointed to see that she wouldn't talk to her. Not even Dr. Tomoe knew why. Hotaru just stayed up in her room for the past few days, she didn't even go to school.
As much as Usagi and her fellow innersenshi tried, not even Chibi-Usa, could get Hotaru to speak again.
Goku burst through Gohan's bedroom door. "Gohan, I was right. The others have arrived."
"...What?"
Yadda yadda yadda. Dumb school keeps me busy, and I have mangas to draw. Review and shiot if you wanna.
