Here's chapter 2. I wrote it a while ago so please R&R and tell me what you think.
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ nor SM but I do own the characters which I made up and the story.
17 thought his head was going to split open from the massive pain that was reverberating through his skull. 'I'm never dimension travelling again, never.' he thought and clutching his head, slowly stood up. Scattered around the grassy forest floor lay the unconscious Z gang. 'Where the HELL are we ? Bulma had better not miscalculated the location.'
Slowly the rest of the group woke up, shaking their heads and muttering curses. Vegeta especially, showed off a chain of colourful words since he hated displaying any type of weakness to anyone.
"I guess Bulma meant us to put the house here. It's pretty secluded. No one will notice anyting." 18 remarked and pulled out the capsule marked 'HOUSE' and threw it on the ground. In a puff of smoke stood a nice-sized mansion, fit for 8 people, a gravity room and communication center.
"Let's get some rest before finding the school and university." Goten said and tried sneaking into the house.
" Nope, sorry can't do that son. We have to learn what we can as soon as possible, so we have to check out the city, school and uni now." Goku grabbed his son's collar to stop him running away.
"Kuso."
Goten was about to fly off when his father once again stopped him.
" We better take the car. Bulma said that people don't fly around this place."
As they traveled in the car, conversation was about what they would say and do when reaching Juuban district in Tokyo.
" First things first. We have to sign the kids up at the local school and Gohan at Tokyo University. We've got the fake papers, school records and id, right ?" Goku asked.
"Yup, You ::points at Goku:: are Son Goku, a single parent who works as a martial arts teacher along with Vegeta, Yamcha and me. Birth records are the normal ones except that you were born in Kyoto and so were Gohan and Goten. Umm, Vegeta and Trunks's surnames are the same, Briefs, and you both were born in Shikoku. Birth records the same. Yamcha, you're Goku's brother. Same surname and place of birth. Me and 18 are a married couple and our surname is Shikori. 18, your name is Hanna and we've been married for 3 years. You had amnesia some time ago so it won't matter if you know nothing of your birthplace or anything, ok ? 17 still is your brother but his name is Davis Nade and he's from California, USA." Krillen finished.
"How are we to supposed to have met ?" Yamcha asked.
"Mother said that we 'met' a year ago and gotten to know eachother through the martial arts school. Krillen was your manager since you were competing in tournaments 10 years ago." Trunks answered him.
They car stopped in front of a large block of buildings. On a sign read ' Juuban High School'.
"Here we are. Come on, get out Goten and Trunks." Goku tried to get the two teens out of the car.
"But Dad, maybe the school is closed." Goten pleaded.
"Nonsense, I know that usually schools are open till 5 and it's only 2.30." Gohan told his little brother. He gave him a death stare before stepping out of the car and following Goku, Trunks and Vegeta to the office.
Once inside the office, the two boys looked around curiously while Goku went and filled in the registration forms with Vegeta. Trunks suddenly heard someone come up behind him.
"May I help you ?" A sweet voice asked.
He turned around to face a girl who looked no older than himself with short blueish-black hair ::very much like Amy's except no bangs on the forehead and the hair curves straight down her face, covering her ears:: light and somewhat emotionless eyes greeted him but still she was incredibly beautiful. 'An angel...'
"Can I somehow help you ?" the girl repeated.
Trunks snapped out of the trance but couldn't tear away his gaze from the goddess standing in front of him. Goten was as equally stunned as his friend but regained his wits quicker.
" Hi I'm Goten, this is my friend Trunks ::points to him::"
"Oh, I'm Mishaji Yasha, and can I help you ?" she asked, annoyance clear in her voice.
"Um, our fathers are signing us up here. We're just waiting." Trunks managed to splutter out. Goten, noticing his friend's dazed state started sniggering.
"What's he laughing about ?" Yasha asked, pointing at Goten.
"He's just being stupid." Trunks replied. "As usual."
Yasha smiled at that and it transformed her face, making it even more beautiful than it already was. 'Oh god, she's even more beautiful than a goddess when she smiles...' Trunks thought.
" What grade are you in ?" Goten asked the girl.
" My last, 12th grade."
" Cool, we're in the same grade !"
Right then Goku and Vegeta came back.
" Yasha, this is my father Vegeta and this is Goten's father Goku."
At the mention of Goku, an indescribable emotion flashed across Yasha's face but she quickly concealed it under a brilliant smile, Vegeta saw it though. 'Interesting.' he thought as Trunks introduces the girl.
"Well I better get going. My break time is about finished. See you around." Yasha waved and walked out of the office, past two blondes.
* * *
Minako and Usagi were walking towards the office when a strange girl came out the door. Usagi smiled at her, realizing that she was the school martial arts champion. Minako however was drooling at something which was beyond the door.
"Mina, what are you staring at ?" Usagi asked curiously.
Minako just pulled her head towards the direction she was staring in. There stood the most KAWAII guy you could imagine. Lavender hair tied back and alert, piercing blue eyes made him even more adorable than Darien. (Usagi's P.O.V.)
The adorable guy had a companion with him but he wasn't as cute. They were both standing with two men. One was pretty short and looked quite nasty- tempered with hair that defied gravity while the other had a good-natured air around him with hair sticking out at every odd angle, just like the kawaii guy's companion's.
Mina and Usagi both bustled into the office and tried to figure out a way of talking to the bishounen guy. They noticed however that he seemed to be preoccupied, staring at the door in wonder. Suddenly he snapped out of it and looked straight at Minako.
* * *
Trunks barely noticed the two giggling blondes entering the office. He was too distracted to think about anything else but how to see that girl again. Gradually he became aware of two sets of eyes boring holes into the side of his head. He sharply turned his head and looked one of the girls straight in the eye. She immediately blushed but came over with the other girl who had her hair in a funny odango-shaped style.
" Hi, I'm Aino Minako and this is Tsukino Usagi. Are you applying for school here ?"
"Hai, we are."
"What grade are you going to ?"
"12th."
"Same with us !" Minako squealed in delight. "This is too good to be true. The most adorable guy in the universe is in MY grade ! Watch out boy, the goddess of love is out to get you !" She giggled again and got a very confused and slightly wary look from the purple-haired wonder and his friend.
"What's your name ?" Usagi asked them.
" Oh, gomen. I'm Briefs Trunks and this is Son Goten."
"Doozo yoroshiku."
" Umm, Aino-san, do you happen to know the girl who passed you and Tsukino-san ?" Trunks asked, blushing slightly.
" You mean Mishaji Yasha ? I don't personally know her but she's the school's martial arts champion and in our grade. Why ?" Mina asked suspiciously.
"Because he likes her." Goten interfered.
Trunks blushed furiously and hit Goten in the back.
" I do not, you baka. I'm just curious about her, that's all."
" Yeah right. You would be 'just' curious about a girl who you've just met moments ago, who's a total stunner. Yeah, I believe you 'totally'." Goten teased his friend. He just blushed even more and muttered about killing his 'best' friend at home.
Usagi was looking on at the exchange of words when the office door opened and a totally breath-takingly handsome man walked in. (Usagi's P.O.V.)
* * *
17 had enough of waiting and walked up towards the school and into the office. Inside he noticed two girls talking to Trunks and Goten while Vegeta and Goku were discussing something in the corner. He noticed that one of the girls had turned and was staring at him. Somehow he found the gaze unsettling and to his utter embarrassment he found that a funny warm feeling was creeping up towards his cheeks. He was blushing ! The blonde quickly averted her eyes when she noticed what she was doing and a cute blush graced her cheeks. 'What am I thinking. This warm feeling, where is it coming from ? It feels so comforting, but how can this be ? I'm an android !'
* * *
Usagi was staring at the handsome guy who had just entered the room. He slowly made his way towards them when he suddenly stopped and looked straight into her eyes. Immediately Usagi blushed and turned her gaze back to Mina who was full on flirting with Trunks.
" Hey Trunks, Goten, what took you so long ? Me and Krillen have been waiting in the car for ages." The guy that Usagi had been looking at came over.
" Oh hi se...Nade. Sorry it took so long but Trunks here is just getting a fan club." Goten replied. Trunks elbowed him hard. "Okay, okay. Trunks was just inquiring about this girl he just met.... and got a crush on."
" Don't listen to the baka. I was just talking to these girls from my year-grade. It doesn't hurt to make friends before my first day." Trunks sent Goten an evil eye.
" Okay. We have to go now though. Gohan has to apply for uni as well and we don't have all day for you two." 17 said in a pretty emotionless voice.
"Let's go then, by the way these are Aino Minako and Tsukino Usagi. Minako, Usagi this is Davies Nade." Trunks introduced them and they shook hands.
Trunks, Goten, Vegeta, Goku and 17 exited the office at last and made their way back to the car. Waiting were a very impatient 18, Krillen and Gohan.
"How hard is it to sign up your children to take THAT long !" 18 fumed.
"Shut up tincase. The two brats were getting swooned over and I didn't want to get slobber all over myself so I let them deal with it."
"How dare you call me 'tincase' ,you stuck-up egomaniac. The only thing you're good at is making lame comments, you know."
"You..."
"Okay, that's enough. We don't want to attract any attention to ourselves, so calm down." Krillen looked from his wife to Vegeta, willing them to stop fighting. Slowly they both got back into the car and the rest of the group breathed a sign of relief.
* * *
They drove to Tokyo University in silence. As Yamcha parked the car, Goku and Gohan got out and walked inside the large building. Inside were many hallways leading to different areas but none of them were labelled !
"Um Dad, how are we supposed to find our way to the office ?"
"You got me there son."
"Can I help you with something ? You seem lost."
Goku and Gohan whirled around to face a guy of around 25. He had black hair and was around Goku's height.
"I'm Chiba Mamoru. Can I be of assistance ?"
"Oh yeah, could you point us in the direction of the office ? My son wants to register for classes here."
" Of course. The office is a separate building from here and you might want to follow me. It's pretty tricky to find."
They walked through about 7 different hallways and then finally reached a door which led to a large courtyard. In the middle of the grass field stood a big tent-like building which turned out to be the office.
"Thank you so much for helping us. I don't know how we could have found our way here." Goku shook Mamoru's hand.
"No problem. If you want to I can show Gohan around in his first week here."
"That would be great, thanks for the offer Mamoru." Gohan also shook his hand.
* * *
The next day dawned bright and clear. Two alarm clocks went off to be sent into the wall by two grouchy teens.
Goten and Trunks came into the kitchen and sat down at the table, wearing the Juuban High uniform and rubbing their eyes. Gohan on the other hand was dressed in comfortable jeans and a black shirt, sipping coffee and reading the newspaper he had bought on his morning jog. There was no sign of Vegeta or Goku but they were probably sparring in the gravity room. 17 was in his room and Krillen was making breakfast with 18 looking over his shoulder, eagerly learning the recipe. Yamcha came down the stairs and sat down at the table, slowly eating his breakfast while watching the two half-saiyans devour theirs at top speed.
"Ug, can't you slow down a bit ? It's making me queasy watching you guys eat."
"Sorry can't do. We've got school in 15 minutes and Gohan is driving us there in 5." Goten answered with his mouth full.
Yamcha just shook his head and continued eating breakfast steadily and slowly.
5 minutes later...
"Goten, Trunks hurry UP ! I'm leaving now." Gohan hollered.
The two guys crashed down the stairs clutching their traditional Juuban High folders and trying to tie their shoes at the same moment. Result : Goten trips over, Trunks falls over him and they roll down the stairs landing in an untidy heap at Gohan's feet. He just sweat-dropped and shook his head.
" Come on, let's go."
* * *
When the two arrived at Juuban they still had 15 minutes to spare so they looked around to 'run' into Minako and Makoto.
"Oh hi, isn't this a surprise ! I was just telling my friend Mako about you and we 'bump' into you. It almost seems like fate wants us to meet." Minako looked at Trunks flirtatiously while Mako checked out Goten. At that moment Yasha passed and Trunks totally forgot about the blonde flirting with him.
"Hey Yasha." He walks up to her.
"Oh hi, Trunks is it ?" She looked at him questioningly.
"Hai. I was just wondering ::blushing bright red:: wouldyouliketoshowmeandGotenaround?"
"Huh ?"
" Would you like to show me and Goten around ?" Trunks repeated the question, feeling that his cheeks were probably blistering.
"I...well you see, I just came about 3 weeks ago and don't know much about Juuban High but I'm really flattered that you considered me as your guide, especially with all those girls staring at you." Yasha smiled sweetly and Trunks melted.
The bell rang.
"What's your first class ?"
"4 Unit maths in R37...?"
"I can show you there. My class is just 4 rooms away."
"What have you got ?"
"Computer class in room 33. 'R' stands for room."
They walked to class together and all the girls were giving Yasha death stares while Trunks got evil eyeballs. Goten suddenly appeared at Yasha's elbow.
"Where were you ? I've been lost and you were walking around with this goddess ::gives Yasha a dashing smile:: By the way, do you know where room 33 is ?" Goten gave Yasha another charming smile and she giggled. Trunks could have killed him.
"Sure, I know where R33 is, I'm going there."
"You've got computer class as well ? That's great, I'm not going to be a loner."
Yasha and Goten kept on talking, totally ignoring Trunks and when he said bye at R37 they barely noticed. Trunks looked sadly down the hallway where his best friend had disappeared with the most beautiful girl he had ever set eyes on.
* * *
Lunchtime...
At lunch Goten and Yasha met up with Trunks at the canteen. Yasha was laughing at something Goten had said while their arms were loosely linked. 'WHAT ?! This can't be. So soon?' Trunks walked up to them and they automatically walked towards a nice shady spot on the grass.
"How was maths and second period ?" Yasha asked Trunks.
"Maths was boring and in my second I had French. It's hard, I've never done it. Anyway how was your class ?"
"Oh, me and Goten had dance and you should've seen the dancing we did." She was laughing and so was Goten.
"What type of dancing was it ?"
"Partner dance, a waltz I think." Goten said. "You should have been there. Everyone stuffed up bad, but the teacher was the worst. It's and old pot-bellied guy with no hair and really thick glasses. He was trying to teach the guys how to hold the girls' waists right and managed to get a girl calling him pervert and ecci." Yasha cracked up again and had to excuse herself to toilet.
"How did your dancing go, who was your partner ?" Trunks asked dreading the answer.
"Well Yasha of course. Rather she insisted and we were great. The teacher told us that we had enough talent to compete at the annual school competition. Isn't that great ?" Goten's cheeks were slightly flushed and his eyes were shiny.
"What's with the arm-linking ?" Trunks asked, trying to keep the jealousy from his voice.
"Are you jealous or something ?"
"No, of course not. I'm just asking 'cause you've known her for barely a day and already it seems like you're dating."
"Where did you get that from ? We're just becoming great friends."
Right then Yasha came back and sat down right next to Goten.
" What were you talking about ? You seem slightly annoyed." Yasha tilted her head to one side and looked at Trunks.
"Nothing."
"Alright then. I have to go now."
"Why ? Lunch hasn't ended."
"I have to practice."
"What ?"
"Martial arts. The tournament is on in 3 months and I'm the defending champion."
"Cool, a tournament. Can anyone compete ?" Goten asked.
"Sure. You do martial arts ?"
"Yeah, both of us. My dad and Trunk's dad both were martial arts champions and my uncle practices it as well."
"A whole family. How neat ! I better go now though." Yasha stood up was about to leave when,
"Could you show me where you train ?" Trunks asked.
Yasha just nodded her head and walked ahead. Trunks followed and eventually caught up to her. They walked inside the gym and took the door to the left. It led to a large bare room, with a few mats on them. In a corner stood a punch and kicking bag while next to it was a tall metal mould which very much resembles a pole except it was about half a meter wide and 2 meters tall.
"This is my training room. Coach should be here any moment." Yasha walked into a small cubicle and when she came back she was wearing a tight, silver shirt which exposed her stomach and black shorts. She was barefoot and for a moment Trunks saw cold determination and a deadly hate in her eyes but it disappeared when a young man walked into the room.
"Hello Yasha, sorry I'm late." The guy said and Trunks noticed that he was no older than Yasha, with light blonde, near white hair tied back and a tanned faced. His light amber eyes looked curiously at Trunks. "And who may this be ?"
"Oh this is Trunks. He's new here and just wanted to see the training room, 'cause he does martial arts." Yasha explained to her teacher.
" That's all right then, but please don't be in the way. Time is precious."
"I won't."
Yasha and her sensei started practicing kicks and punches and to Trunks' trained eye it seemed like as if Yasha was holding back. 'She's good, for a human in this dimension.' He continued watching them until the bell rung and then walked outside to wait for her. 3 minutes later she came out, dressed in her school uniform again.
"You're really good. How long have you been doing martial arts ?"
"Around 2 years, I mean professional, not counting tutoring."
"Wow, you must be a quick learner."
Yasha just shrugged and continued leading their way to Science. At the lab Trunks saw something which made him groan. 'Oh no, Minako...' He slumped his shoulders and prayed to Kami that she wouldn't see him.
"TRUNKS !!! There you are. I've been looking for you all lunch. I was going to invite you and Goten to sit with me and my friends." Minako immediately attached herself on to Trunks' arm.
"Hehe...I was sitting with Goten and Yasha. We were in a pretty secluded spot 'trying to hide from you' and afterwards Yasha showed me her training room." Trunks had a HUGE sweat-drop and his arm was becoming numb. "Could you possibly let go of me because I sort of can't feel my arm anymore."
"Oh gomen, but I'm soooo happy to see you ! Now at last I have someone to sit next to and compare notes with."
"What do you mean, Mina ?" A new voice asked. "I've been sitting next to you and lending you my notes."
"Hehehe...Ami, I didn't mean to insult you or anything but your notes are too complicated to read and usually you're so quiet it feels like as if no-one is sitting next to me." Minako scratched the back of her head and laughed stupidly.
Ami looked at her with a hurt expression and turned on her heels and walked into class without glancing back once.
"Oh dear. She's gonna be very miffed at me." Minako looked at Trunks and shook her head, plastered a goofy smile on her face and dragged him to a bench, forcing him to sit down next to her.
After the end of school Goten and Trunks met at the school gates to wait for Gohan to pick them up. As Yasha walked past she smiled at Goten but totally ignored Trunks.
"See you tomorrow."
"Sayoonara." Goten yelled and waved, Trunks on the other hand just stared at her retreating back.
* * *
In the car Goten was full of fun stories about school and most of them included Yasha while Trunks just stared outside the window.
* * *
In the mansion Goten was sparring with 17 in the gravity room while Trunks was attempting to do some homework but his mind kept on wandering to his first day of school. 'Why does she ignore me ? What does Goten have that I don't ? Why, why does she act so indifferent with me ?'
