Chapter 11: Stargazing
Echo sat quietly on the front lawn. It had been a difficult day for her. First the training, then shopping for new clothes. She had so much to learn about this time and place that she had nearly gone into information overload. Now her gaze was trained on the sky. For some reason the stars' light was comforting to her. She sensed a familiar power coming toward her. "Stargazing, Echo?" Gohan inquired.
"Hai, Gohan. I guess that this hobby help to keep my unusual abilities underwraps at home." Tears then filled her eyes. "For some reason, the stars comfort me."
The young warrior sat down next to her, drawing her into a gentle embrace. "What abilities?"
"Well, when I was younger I could heal injuries. I stopped doing that about a year ago because of my parents' suspicions. Other things were herbal remedies for illnesses, controlling a few of the forces of nature, etc. But all of that is in the past now. The only reason I'd call those powers would be if someone I cared about deeply was in danger." she explained. "And now, they are nearing the surface again."
A soft kiss was pressed against her mouth. Surprise flashed through her at his openness. He pulled back, a look of uncertainty on his face. "Echo I... I love you more than life. Will you marry me?"
"Gohan, yes, I will. The feelings of unconditional love are with me too. We were meant to be." A smooth band of metal was slid onto her finger. They shared a passionate kiss before breaking away from eachother.
He saw the tears streaming down her face. Echo?
I don't understand why. Why my family had to forget this. Me. It just doesn't feel right.
Don't fret about it. I'm here for you. The warrior gently lifted her up into his arms. Gohan then flew into her room, and gently set her down on her bed.
"Please, stay." she sobbed. Her bed shifted slightly as he sat down next to her. A gentle hand was drawn down her back, in an attempt to comfort her. After she'd fallen asleep, he walked into his own room.
Poor girl. All of this is just too much. Well, I hope she can be happy. Whoa, I should take her somewhere tomorrow. A soft giggle escaped him. Kaasan is going to be so angry about this. Well, here it goes. Gohan grabbed a pen and began to write.
Family,
You will be getting a new member soon. Echo and I are engaged. Now, don't flip out about this, Kaasan. Love is stronger than the confines of many things. Please don't worry about anything.
Gohan
His gaze shifted back to the room where his fiancé slept. Yes. I love her more than life.
