Last time on "TNKOTB"
"We're going to history, monkey-boy" she said walking up the stairs.
~~~:*:~~~
Trunks followed her up the stairs and around all of the corners. He noticed that there was a spring in her step most likely from excitement. It's too bad Goten and I only have one class together, but at least we get to beat the crud out of each other in it! And now we get someone to teach too! For once, I can't wait 'til Monday!
Just then, Trunks ran into something and almost fell over. "Jeez monkey-boy! Watch where you're going!" said Keiqo helping him regain his balance. "We're here and if we don't hurry, all the seats next to each other will be taken." They started heading over to the last two remaining seats next to each other and as soon as Keiqo put her stuff down, Ronny pushed it off the table and sat down in the chair.
"Oh, if it isn't underwear boy and miss laugh-a-lot" he said mockingly. The girl he was with had sat down next to him and laughed at what he said. Trunks immediately recognized the girl to be the same one from study hall.
"At least I don't have to date airheaded bimbos," she then mumbled, "that cheat on you I might add," she again started in her normal level, "to have someone laugh at my jokes," she said back, glaring at both of them.
"Oh yea! I forgot! You don't have to date at all! When was your last boyfriend? Umm…2nd grade?" he said loud enough for the front of the room to hear.
"Actually, I have a boyfriend! His name is Trunks!" she said putting her arm around his waist. Trunks figured that if he didn't play along, he'd be in serious pain because he can't hit a girl and can that girl hit hard. Besides, he liked this.
"Oh really? I've met underwear boy before. He's nothing much." He said while looking at his flexed arm muscle.
"Well, either way, you'd better get out of our seats or
we're gonna have to kick your butts all the way to the class next door." Keiqo
said her hand still around Trunks' waist. Just let him grab you, I can hear
the teacher coming from down the hall. No you're not imagining this, I'll
explain later Keiqo told Trunks through her mind. I don't think the girl
is really that eager to get into a fight with me again.
Trunks dismissed his doubts and listened to his mind. Sure enough Ronny picked him up by his collar and just as this happened the teacher burst through the door. Keiqo by now was in her original seat picking up her stuff from the floor and the girl was still sitting in her seat, not wanting to get into a fight with her again.
"Uhh… I can explain!" screamed Ronny still holding Trunks by his collar. He realized this then dropped him and Trunks stood there brushing himself off.
"Not now mister! First you start a food fight in the cafeteria and NOW your getting into fights! You are going straight to the SBC!" (A/N: student behavior center in case you didn't know ^^)
"B-but!" Ronny said while trying to come up with an excuse. "He tried to take my homework!"
"We didn't have any homework for the past week! And you shouldn't start a fight over something like that anyway! You should come directly to ME!" screamed the teacher at the boy who was now held in his hand by his ear.
As soon as the teacher was out the door, Keiqo and Trunks looked at each other, smiled, and gave each other a high five. When Keiqo was done doing her victory dance, she looked at the girl still in Trunks seat. The girl quickly recoiled in fear and went to find another seat.
When the teacher came back, he immediately started with his lesson because he had already wasted enough time taking Ronny to the SBC. Trunks tore off a piece of paper and wrote, Man Keiqo! How the heck did you do that? Talk to me through my mind? You have got to teach me how to do that! Payment for the flying?
Keiqo received the note and wrote, put your hand on the table. She handed the note to Trunks and he did as he was told. Keiqo reached her hand from under the table and touched her finger to it. It's controlled by touch. If I'm not touching the person then I can't talk to them. Well, think to them She thought to him.
Hey I wonder if I can think back. He thought to himself…he thought.
Of course you can Monkey-boy! You can hear my thoughts, so I can hear yours, well not all of them of course, but your thoughts that are at the front of your mind. But, since I know how to do this and you don't, I have to send you thoughts because you can't come and get them. It's really confusing though, thought Keiqo.
I can tell he thought back.
Well, I just want to thank you for playing along back then… she thought, quieter than before.
Hey! No problem! I've been in same scenario situations except, well, the other person didn't exactly play along… let's just say it was pretty embarrassing. The only reason I didn't get laughed off the face of the earth was because it was only me and Goten and we were best friends, we just had a fight. He thought laughing remembering the thought.
"Excuse me! Are you going to continue flirting or are you going to pay attention so you can pass this semester?" the teacher said while slamming his ruler down on their table in front of them. It was then that she realized that instead of just her finger touching Trunks, like it used to be, she was holding his whole hand tightly. She quickly recoiled from embarrassment and started paying attention to the teacher to try to get her mind off of him.
The rest of the class went by with no distractions and was soon over. Around the end of class, Keiqo started packing up her things, but before she could finish, the teacher came over to her desk.
"Keiqo, I don't want to see anymore slipups like this again. You have a very nice record to maintain in this class. No more mistakes! And as for you, young man, I expect the same from you, except it will count for so much more, because you are new here, and if you don't make a very nice impression, you don't get any leniency. Got it?"
"Yes sir, Mr. Schmidt sir," Keiqo said then nudged Trunks.
"Yes sir" he said rather grudgingly. The teacher noticed, but decided not to push it any further. He thought he got his point across.
When the bell rang, Keiqo took Trunks hand and ran through all the halls they needed to go through to reach the front doorway. Why are we running, Trunks thought.
Well, you said Goten had Science last right? That's by the front of the school, so he's probably already out there. And I don't want to make a bad first impression of keeping him late do I?
Uhh, I guess not he thought. But I really think
your going out there so you can ambush him again.
So? I need a running start for those too, don't I? She thought excitedly.
Yea I guess but this time, don't make a really big
scene about it, there will be people out there.
But, I have to! I'm on the hunt, and besides, what do I care about what people think?
As soon as she finished her last thought, she let go of Trunks' hand and bounded out the door jumping in the process. She, of course, caught Goten by surprise and pinned him to the ground.
"Haha! The predator has killed its prey!" she said while looking down at Goten.
"Doesn't that ever get old?" he said while laughing.
"Uhh…" she said while doing that Sherlock Holmes pose, (A/N: you know where he lifts his head and puts his hand around his chin) "let me think," she said and was silent for a few seconds. "Nope!" she said hopping off of him. "Well, I'll see ya later! Bye Trunks! Bye Goten!"
"Wait a minute!" Trunks called after her. "You know you could get there faster if you flied." He said catching up to her.
"Well DUH! But does it look like I can fly?" she said exasperated. "Ohhhh…"
"Right… Hey Goten! Go on ahead to my place! I gotta drop Keiqo off at hers then I'll bring her over after! K?" Trunks yelled to his friend 20 feet away.
"Sure thing! Have fun Trunks!" Goten said while trying to hold back his laughs.
"Just wait 'til my place Goten! I'm gonna pay you back!" Trunks yelled after Goten, who had already went to go find somewhere where there is no one around so he can take off. "Ok, we need to find somewhere where there is no one around."
Keiqo knew what he meant but decided to tease him anyway, "Jeez Trunks! I only met you today! Already?" she said trying to look embarrassed.
"N-no! That's not what I meant! I meant…" he was cut off by a hand over his mouth.
"I was only kidding! Jeez! You look like you're going to fall apart! Ok, I know of an alley behind the school. Follow me." She said as she walked around the school and found an alleyway. "Ok I'll direct you which way to go ok?"
"Umm, sure." He said and cautiously picked her up.
"Oh come on! You know I was just kidding." She said laughing. "And I don't bite!" Not anymore at least! Hehe. Trunks couldn't hear that thought though.
After they were in the air and levitating, Trunks asked, "Which way?" she pointed to the right and he sped off in that direction. After about 10 seconds, she said, "Ok, we're here! You can put me down."
Trunks shrugged his shoulders and dropped her while he was still levitating. He heard her scream "NOT LIKE THIS!!" and went to go catch her.
"Well, you gotta be more specific next time" he said laughing. Keiqo just did a fake laugh, got out of his grasp and punched him in the stomach. Hard.
She ran off laughing toward her front door and her dad answered. "Hiya tousan!" she said while giving him a bear hug. "Where's kaasan?" she asked finally releasing him.
"I think she's just coming down the stairs. But, who is that with you? Is it your boyfriend?" he asked accenting the last word. "I just LOVE fresh meat!" he said while staring at Trunks. Trunks backed away slightly.
Keiqo pushed him forward. "Don't mind him. He's just playing around. And NO tousan, he's not my boyfriend! You better be nice to him!" she said as she went up the stairs. A few seconds later they heard a big 'BOOM' and then a 'CRASH' and then two female voices saying "DIDN'T DO IT!" a second later, a man with red hair came around the corner and said, "YOU TWO BETTER CLEAN THAT UP! Oh! Hey Jim? Who's the kid?"
"That's Trunks, Keiqo brought him here for some reason," he said to Gene.
"Oh my gosh kaasan! You were right! Remember when you said that you could sense Saiya-Jins here? Well, you know the guy sitting in our living room, he's half Saiya-Jin! I told him about me being C'tarl-C'tarl and it was so cool! I even showed him my tail! And then he told me that he would teach me how to fly! Aww man kaasan! You GOT to meet him!"
"Hmm, so, he's half Saiya-Jin?" Aisha said. "Well, can you go tell him to go into the training area for a minute?"
"Uhh, sure kaasan, but what for? You know what? I don't want to know anymore. Your plans are always way too weird." She said while going out of her parent's room.
She walked down the stairs and said, "Trunks, could you join me in the training room? It's right over here."
Trunks followed her to a pair of double doors and opened them to reveal a huge room. The floor was sand and there were various trees and big rocks around the room.
"Uhh, Trunks you might want to watch out." Keiqo said looking all around at the ceiling.
"What for? AHH!" he said right as something landed on him.
"I would have expected more from a Saiya-Jin!" said the thing that landed on him as it got off and disappeared.
Trunks immediately jumped up and took on a fighting stance. "What the heck was that?" asked a frantic Trunks darting his eyes every way they could.
"That…was my kaasan." She said and looked at the tree right above him. Trunks followed her gaze and saw Aisha jump out. He dodged her just in time panting from all the energy he had to use.
"You can fight can't you?" asked Aisha getting up from where Trunks used to be. "Or are you scared of a little girl?" she mocked.
This just angered Trunks, so he shot from where he was and
punched at her. She just jumped up and landed a kick on the back of his head,
sending his face down into the dirt. I will NOT let myself be beaten by her!
She's Keiqo's kaasan! What would tousan say? "Blow her to the next dimension!"
he imagined his father saying. Well, maybe I shouldn't use tousan as an
advice figure. What would Goku say?
He didn't have much more time to inquire about this because he heard a voice above him saying, "Haha! That didn't last long. And I thought you were a Saiya-Jin…"
That's it! I won't hurt her; I'll just get my point across. He thought while jumping up. He then turned SSJ and lunged towards Aisha with fists ready. He stopped short of her face and to his surprise, she didn't even flinch.
"Bravo! And I didn't even think you had it in you," she said while clapping her hands. Trunks looked at her puzzlingly and put his hand down. Just as he was going to power down, Aisha punched him in the face. "Never let your guard down. Even when you think you've won."
If I replaced her face with tousan's, I would never be able to tell them apart. He thought as he was powering down. In the back round he could hear Keiqo screaming at her mother, "YOU DIDN"T HAVE TO BEAT HIM UP MUCH LESS PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE! JEEZ! YOU COULD HAVE KILLED HIM!"
"Actually Keiqo, the only way I could have killed him was if…" her mother started but was cut of by Keiqo screaming in frustration and walking away.
Now where have I heard that before? Trunks thought while laughing to himself.
Aisha beckoned Trunks out of the room and said that he could sit on the couch while Keiqo changed and got her stuff.
He waited a few minutes and Keiqo came down wearing a short-sleeved shirt that said "Neko" on it with a denim jacket similar to his in her hands, and denim pants. Her hair was no longer in pigtails a top her head but in a ponytail. He also noticed the necklace she was wearing looked like an oversized collar with a huge golden bell on it. "What are we going to do at your house?"
"Well, we might teach you how to fly if there is nothing else to do, but I'm pretty sure I told Goten that we might go swimming so I told him to bring his swimming stuff." Trunks replied still staring at her.
"Ok, well, I'll go get my swimming suit and then we can go to your house. K? Be right back!"
After a few minutes, Keiqo put on her jacket, and the two were headed to capsule corp. at a slower pace than before, due to Trunks' new cuts and bruises.
"I'm really sorry, my kaasan punched you like that. No offense, but you should have seen your face when she hit you. You were like 'Blah!'" Keiqo said while making a contorted face. When Trunks saw her bad imitation of him, all he could do was laugh. Keiqo soon joined his laughter when she realized what she must have looked like.
"You gotta hand it to your kaasan though, She can really pack a punch." He said feeling around his eye with his free hand. They both broke into laughter once again.
"Ok, we're here." He said putting her down on his front doorstep and opening the door to reveal Goten and Vegeta.
