Chapter 3, ladies and gentle men. hope you enjoy it. now I gotta get started on chapter11 of Sleeping with the Enemy.

Gohan awoke to someone shaking him.

"Gohan....Wake..... Up!!" the mysterious person said, slight agitation seeping through his voice.

Gohan opened his eyes slowly his vision slightly blurred.

Beside him there sat a kid, eagerly awaiting his awakening.

He looked a lot like......Kotec?!

Gohan shot straight up in his bed and rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

When he took his hands away the image of the young child and his tail was still there. Nope, definitely not dreaming.

"It's about time you woke up!" Kotec pouted.

Gohan stared at the kid incredulously. "Kotec, what are you doing here?," he looked around a bit, "and how did you find me?"

Kotec shot him a weird look. "I followed you Ki. Duh, Gohan!" he said as if it were common sense.

Gohan looked shocked. "So you can sense Ki!!" he said in accusation.

Kotec cocked his head to one side. "Can't everyone?" he asked innocently.

Gohan rubbed the back of his head, a gesture he had gotten from his father.

"Not really...." he answered as he looked at his alarm clock.

::Geez! it's 3'o clock in the morning!! I'm never going to get back to sleep now!::

He pushed the covers off of him and stood up, stretching in a yawn. Then began trampling downstairs only to find Benoyce sitting on the couch glaring at him with intense heat.

Gohan was not only shocked but slightly pissed off. It was not a good feeling to know people could come in and out of your house unannounced, especially total strangers.

Gohan threw his hands up in frustration. "How the heck did you people get in here?!" he nearly shouted.

Benoyce's gaze only intensified, as if he was sizing him up or something. He finally spoke after a couple of minutes.

"We need to talk.." His voice was slow but serious and something about the way he talked gave Gohan a nervous edge.

Gohan wondered over to him and sat in a chair across from the couch he was sitting on.

"Okay..." he said, a hint of nervousness in his voice.

Kotec watched his brother and his new friend as they talked. He could see that Benoyce, while making Gohan uncomfortable, wasn't being his normal self.

"I've got a couple of questions I want to ask you." He was saying.

Gohan cleared his throat. "Go ahead.."

"First of all," he started never loosing the seriousness in his voice, "I wanna know how you found out about saiyans."

Before Gohan could respond to his request Kotec inserted his usual question.

"WHAT IS A SAIYAN?!"

Gohan winced slightly at the volume of Kotec's voice and prayed silently that it would not wake anyone up.

No such luck. Goten and Chichi came rushing down the stairs curious to all the commotion. She looked from Gohan, to Kotec, to Benoyce and back to Gohan again.

"Alright! What the heck are all these people doing in my house at 3o' clock in the morning!!" she shouted, but not quite as loud a Kotec had. She focused her gaze on Gohan for an explanation.

Gohan felt more uncomfortable than ever. He figured it was the more polite thing to do was to introduce everyone before he tried to answer any questions.

"Mom; Goten....this is Kotec and his brother. Guys, my little brother, Goten and my mom, Chichi."

Chichi almost immediately began sizing the boys up and after spotting Kotec's tail began ranting and raving again.

"Not more Saiyans!! Kami, I cant live like this. All my life all I've done is cook and clean for Saiyans and now there's more of them!! Will the torture ever cease?!" she yelled up at the ceiling.

She realized that she was over reacting when all four boys turned to stare at her strangely.

Goten did the exact opposite of his mother by staying quiet, which was strangely unusual for him since he was always the more forward of the two boys, and eying the new kids warily.

Secretly he was mad because someone had gotten to wake Gohan before him, he prided himself on being his brother's special alarm clock,

Kotec didn't seem to happy either, in fact, he was even more upset than before.

It seemed everyone knew what a Saiyan was except him.

"Will somebody please tell me what a Saiyan is?! Come on, I don't like being left out!" he wined.

Gohan, who had gotten tired of hearing that same question over and over, let out an exasperated sigh and turned to Benoyce.

"If you don't tell him, I will!" he stated seriously.

Benoyce let out a sigh. He knew this would come sooner or later, for some reason he wished it was later......a whole lot later.

"A Saiyan is a warrior race of aliens not of this planet that died out a long time ago but there's still a few left. Saiyans are super strong and super fast and they have tails."

Kotec gave them both a blank stare.

"Oh." he said very disappointed. He had expected Saiyans to be more exciting. He didn't think it was such a big deal like they made it sound, these saiyans sounded like ordinary people to him.

Chichi mumbled something about getting started on breakfast and walked off while Kotec studied his tail suspiciously.

"Oh I get it!" he exclaimed, "We're Saiyans! I think..." He looked to his brother for insurance and Benoyce suddenly found something extremely interesting hidden in the ceiling. ::Nope. I'm definitely not answering that question! not in front of these guys anyway...::

Gohan noticed the way Kotec's brother avoided the question he asked and smirked to himself. Yep, these guys were definitely saiyan. He cleared his throat, gaining all three boys' attention.

"You guys are Saiyan, am I right?"

Gohan's question was met with silence.

Goten chose this precise moment to contribute to the not-so- steady conversation.

"Cool! more Saiyans! This is great, now---"

Goten quickly slapped his hand over his mouth after receiving a glare from Gohan telling him that he already said enough.

Just enough to pique Benoyce's curiosity.

"What do you mean 'more' saiyans?"

Goten shot his brother an apologetic glance. Gohan sighed a prepared himself to answer Benoyce's question.

"Well it just so happens we aren't the only Saiyans on this planet."

Benoyce's face took on a bold look of triumph. "We? Aha! So you are a Saiyan!"

Gohan panicked. :: Gohan you idiot! Wasn't that the fact you've been trying to hide from them this whole time. You're a super saiyan too, why don't you throw that bit of info in there since you like sharing secrets so much!! While your at it, don't forget to mention Vegeta and Trunks!::

Kotec studied Gohan for a long time.

"Gohan can't be a saiyan! He doesn't have a tail." he pointed out.

Gohan could tell that Benoyce was still a little suspicious but he dropped the subject anyway.

He let out a sigh of relief. ::Thank you, Kotec!! ::

Benoyce looked at Gohan again his glare had disappeared.

"If you're not a saiyan, how do you know so much about them?"

Gohan laughed nervously. "Read it in a book?"

wrong answer.

The edge returned to Benoyce's voice.

"I'm not an idiot."

"I wasn't implying that you were."

"The only way you could possibly know of Saiyans is either if you saw one before, someone told you, or you are one yourself. Trust me, not that many people know about it to write a book on it."

::Man this kid really needs to lighten up. He's to serious. I'm not even that serious and I'm older than he is.::

Before Gohan could reply to that comment his mother's voice rang from the kitchen announcing that breakfast was ready. Gohan hadn't even realized that the sun had already began to come out.

"Yeah! Food!" Goten and Kotec exclaimed simultaneously before racing to the table.

Benoyce reached out and held Kotec by the straps of his overalls.

Kotec shot a desperate look at his brother then back at the breakfast table.

::If I could just get a little closer...::

"Sorry squirt. Were not staying for breakfast."

Kotec began to wine in protest.

"But I'm hungry! Can't I just have one pancake!"

"No,! Besides you weren't invited to have breakfast with Gohan and his family.'

Gohan studied Benoyce carefully.

::Maybe I was wrong. There's no way this guy is a Saiyan! If he was he would have eaten half the table by now.::

"There's more than enough for everybody, if you guys are hungry....."

"We're fine....Let's go Kotec!" he said sternly..

Kotec reluctantly tore his gaze away from the kitchen table and went to stand beside his brother.

Gohan shifted nervously from one foot to the other.

"Well.......i guess I see you guys later..."

Benoyce turned to him before he shut the door.

"Oh, you will." he stated over his shoulder before the door closed in a hard slam.

::Gosh, that was weird. I wonder what he meant by that...?::

Gohan sighed thinking he would never understand that kid and walked over to the kitchen to have breakfast with his family.
