Blood Lust: Chapter 7: The chapter with no name.
Gohan opened his eyes- the smile still on his face. And closed them again.
It looked like that he had underestimated the bomb. Underestimated BIG time. It didn't just knock down a wall, it knocked down the entire building. It made what little damage that Icarus did, look like a destructive child in the face of a tornado.
Videl jumped up from whatever piece of building that was covering her. "What the hell just happened!"
Gohan looked at his feet, trying to look inconspicuous. It wasn't exactly working, especially as he was the only person standing at the moment. Even worse as there was a demi Saiyan shaped area clear of rubble where his body had blocked the blast.
"It was you wasn't it?" Videl questioned.
Gohan fixed her with a piecing gaze. It was a gaze that said, Bite me, I'm not telling you anything.
Sharpener jumped up out of the rubble, after he finally managed to untie his hands. "I knew it. He…He's some kind of destructo-freak. Trying to get us all killed."
Gohan sighed, and leant up against the only part of the wall that was still upright. He banged his head on it. The wall crumbled into dust.
"And how in the world did you just do that?"
"I don't know Videl," His tone was sarcastic. "Maybe it was because the entire building had just been blown up."
"Then who blew it up, Mr. Genius?"
"Well…"
"It was him, I was there!" yelled Sharpener, sticking his hand up in the air, like a little school kid who was eager to answer the teachers question.
"It was war." Gohan answered.
"You blew up the whole building. How Saiyaman?" Videl sounded off the question as fast as the cities top lawyers.
"For the last time I'm not Saiyaman. I blew it up with a bomb."
"A bomb?"
"Yes one of those things that go BOOM. I underestimated it, it was only supposed to be a distraction."
"Like the dragon?"
"Yes" Gohan realised his mistake. "No!"
"So you admit terrorism on this Government building"
"Listen dweeb. You need to take anger management classes." Sharpener said.
The rest of the class that survived the blast nodded in agreement.
Gohan saw that nobody was taking his side, so sat down in an area clear of rubble, to the side of his class mates. Videl immediately took charge of the group.
"Don't worry everybody, we can easily get back to base from here. Anyone got a map?"
One by one the class shouted back no.
Videl sweatdropped. "A compass, anything?" She was a bit stunned, no one had any survival equipment. Of course SHE didn't have her equipment as her bag was blown up in the building, but some of the others were still wearing their bags so where did their stuff go?
A few people were beginning to look worried. "Don't worry," Videl reassured. "I've still got my radio. I can call for help." She lifted the radio to her ear. "Hello, base? Can you hear me?"
A second later her voice echoed around the camp. "Hello base? Ftzz. Can you hear me?"
"Wow, that's magic!" Said Sharpener, who was acting slightly stupider then usual, thanks to being dragged along by his feet.
The majority of the class groaned. It was obvious that their radios could only be picked up by the large radio that was next to them, buried under the rubble.
"Hey, can I try?" asked Sharpener. Using his radio as a mike, he started to talk into it. "Hi, this is CNN, No this is Sharpener. Here is a hi to all those sexy ladies out there!" Sharpener looked up, "This is sooo cool"
He grabbed a wig off one of the older unconscious solders head. "READY? OKAY!!" He yelled in falsetto, waving the wig around like a pompom. "I'm sexy I'm cute, I'm good enough to boot. I'm wanted, I'm hot, I'm everything your not."
The class sweatdropped. They wouldn't laugh because Sharpener was just not funny. Marker closed his eyes in embarrassment, hanging around Sharpener sometimes made you wonder why you were friends with him in the first place.
Luckily, for the class, when Sharpener attempted to do a Cartwheel, he banged straight into a tree, and became eerily quiet.
Videl in the meantime had found the large radio, and was trying to work out how to program it so that it could send a message to the base. She pressed a bunch of levers and knobs. Nothing happened. Then she saw the big red button. It was always the red button. She pressed it.
***
Gohan heard the bang. You would have to be deaf not to hear it. It was a lot weaker then the first bomb was, okay it was very weak. Extremely weak, but it was kind of startling. He wondered who had set the bomb off. Then he saw Videl walking out of the rubble
She was covered in dust, and a sooty streak covered her nose which made her look… well, cute. She had a scowl on her face and looked very ticked off. Gohan couldn't help, but laugh.
He caught her glare and immediately shut up.
"Gohan, if you think it's so funny then you come here and tell us what to do."
The teen gulped before heading towards her. He found all eyes were upon him. "Well, I think that we should head for the base."
"Then which way is that?" Asked Videl sure that he wouldn't be able to answer, she had seen him through away his map and compass when they had first met at the first gate. Now they were probably lying at the bottom of the rubble. At least he was still carrying his rucksack.
"That way," he pointed behind his head.
"NOOO," came a shout. "You're not going to our base." It was the currently bald, highest ranking solder, who had a wet patch on his trousers. "You wrecked this building, you're not going to wreck anymore!" With that he fell over.
16 pupil looked very dejected.
"I'm sure my dad will save us." Yelled Videl. She gave one of her nastier glares to Gohan who was sniggering again. "So then, Gohan. What are we going to do now?"
"Easy, we head for the nearest phone, so we can call for a ride."
"So where is the nearest house?"
Gohan concentrated, looking for the nearest Ki signature that wasn't a soldier or someone in his class. He groaned, it just had to be that didn't it? He gave a silent curse to Dende. It just had to be his house.
He led the class into the woods, planning to pick up Erasa and Shoelace on the way.
He passed Videl. She whispered something to him.
"If I see Saiyaman, or if somehow we get dramatically rescued by someone 'Magically' finding out that we are here, then I shall tell the whole world that you are Saiyaman."
Gohan gulped. How the hell had she figured out what he was going to do?
~~~A few hours later ~~~~
"Videeeeeel"
"What Sharpener?"
"Could you tell Gohan that we are hungry?"
"Why can't you do that yourself?" Answered Videl looking slightly ticked off that Gohan didn't look at all tired in their few hours walking.
"Well I would, but Gohan looks like his in bad mood again."
"Your not scared of him are you?"
"Who are you scared of?" Asked Gohan, appearing behind them.
"Oh Gohan…. I didn't see you. I just wanted to say…we're hungry."
"Don't you have basic rations?"
"Well, you see….ummmm." Sharpener stuttered. "Me and the guys were feeling a bit peckish earlier, as we haven't eaten since yesterday, and you know how little each ration is…."
The spiky haired teen looked irritated.
Sharpener carried on. "We ate the whole lot." He hung his head in shame.
Gohan raised a slender eyebrow. "So you are saying that you're out of food, and you expect ME to do something about it?"
A crowd of teenage faces looked at him in muted plea.
He gave in. "Okay stay here and make camp. Don't move. I'll just catch some fish." Leaving his pack on the floor, he ran down a path, further into the woods. Students could here a muffled yell echo a while later, a "Dende, Why me?"
Videl wondered how the hell he was going to catch anything when all his fishing things, and his Swiss army knife were just left on the floor.
"Hey Videl! Look what I found!" It was Sharpener, standing by a crop of mushrooms. "Do you think we could eat them?"
Videl walked over to Sharpener and bent down, so she could peer closely at the mushrooms. She knew she didn't have much woods training, but THEY didn't know that. She didn't want them to know, it showed that she was weak, and she hated being weak.
The mushrooms looked good enough. They were big and red and juicy, just like something that you would read in a fairy tale. They even had white spots on the top. She leant down lower to examine under the cap.
After a while she stood up. "We can't eat them." She said weakly.
"Why? Are they the wrong colour, the wrong shape? How can you tell?"
"Its the mini doors and windows. They're a dead giveaway."
Gohan naked except for a pair of teddy bear pants, jumped out of the lake with the fish above his head.
"Okay, lets see. Five fish. That's one for me, one for them, one for me, one for them, Oh and one fish for me again."
A mischievous smile made a rare visit onto his face. He gave a sneaky glance around, and ki blasted the fish twice. The first blast disembowelled the fish, the second roasted it to Ki cooking perfection.
After eating it as fast as he could, he looked around as if surprised. "Oh no, now I only have two fish. I need another one."
He jumped back into the lake.
Sharpener had a happy smile on his face. He had found some more mushrooms, and this time Videl hadn't said that they were poisonous. In fact she hadn't said anything at all since she saw the mushroom houses, so she was still at the camp.
The rest of the class, however had come along with him so that they could check whether the mushrooms were poisonous or not with Gohan. Sharpener, who preferred to trust his own judgement, then that of some geeks, happily munched away at the mushrooms.
Walking up next to a pretty girl, he gave her what he believed to be a sexy grin. "I'm a fluffy Ice-cream." He told her with complete sincerity. With that he walked away.
Shoelace put down the mushroom that he was just about to take a bite out of, with reverence. He knew that there were some things that you just shouldn't mess with. Mushrooms were now one of them.
The group reached the end of path, and discovered that they were right on the edge of a lake. As one they screamed "LAKE!" and rushed into the water.
Still in perfect coordination, they all saw a dorsal fin rise above the water. "SHARK!" They yelled as the sprinted out of the water again.
The fin steadily rose, they could see the back of the fish, now it's flat eyes and gaping mouth. One of the last things to appear above the waterline was a semi-almost naked boy who appeared to be carrying the fish, but amazingly enough the second the boy saw the others the fish magically gained in weight, almost sinking him under the water again.
"Aren't you going to help me?" he asked.
The class cautiously waded back into the water again, and began to help lift the fish. The only one who didn't was Sharpener, who lent against a tree looking very spaced out.
"How did you get the other fish onto land?" Asked a guy, who had taken over the suspicious roll as Videl wasn't there.
"Ummm…" Gohan answered. "With a complex bunch of wires and pullies. What? There not there? That super strong nabbing bird must have stolen it." (Yes I know Gohan didn't know about what that guy was thinking earlier, but hey It's a popular excuse.)
While pulling the fish onto the land, a girl suddenly went bright red. She had just noticed that she was behind Gohan who was only wearing a pair of teddy bear pants, and that fluffy belt. They were tight pants at that, and the water made it cling on to his VERY cute butt, if only if she could get rid of that belt!
The girl drooled, as she watched water drip off the very handsome teen. Her nose started to bleed. A friend of the girl went to see what was wrong, she found out what had caught her friends attention. Her nose started to bleed as well. Those nose bleeds seemed to be contagious as soon they had passed to every girl in the group.
Erasa was seriously thinking about trying to grab Gohan's only covering, just to make sure that those pant were revealing everything, because Kami the guy seemed PERFECT.
"So why did you guys follow me, when I told you not to?" Asked Gohan, crossing his arms over his chest. Nine girls sighed, the demi saiyan didn't notice.
"We're teenagers. We like to rebel. That's what we do best." Pouted one guy, who was so jealous that he looked a similar shade to Piccolo.
"We wanted to check that those mushrooms are edible," said another guy, who thought that Gohan should get his shirt on and soon. The guy pointed to Sharpeners direction, where there was a much smaller mushroom pile.
Gohan walked over and examined them.
"Are they poisonous?" someone asked.
"Well not exactly."
"What do you mean by that?" shouted someone else.
"They are similar to the poisonous type, but they're called 'Psilocybe Semilanceata'"
"Nani? Could you say that in Japanese?"
"Liberty cap Mushroom, they're a type of magic mushrooms."
"WHAT!"
"Did anyone eat them?"
"Yeah, Sharpener did."
"Has he started to hallucinate yet?"
"Well he thinks that he is an Ice-cream."
"…Any side effects?"
"Like…"
"Stomach pains, sickness, or diarrhoea"
"Nope."
"Then he'll be fine in 4 hours."
Some other guy was looking at the fish. "Are you sure that we will eat all this?"
"What? All five of those fish?" answered Gohan. "Your right, you lot wouldn't be able to eat all of them. Why don't you all take two of them and take them to camp, while I just take the of the fish and put them back into the lake."
The students had finally disappeared. Sharpener was led away by Marker and Shoelace who had to first calm Sharpener down and explain that Gohan wasn't really a super strong alien from out of space.
Gohan managed to eat all three fish in under five minutes, which just about nearly filled him up. (As a wise author once said, it is impossible for a Saiya-jin to be full and conscious)
He then realised that he was still in his teddy bear underwear. HE HAD TALKED TO HIS CLASSMATES WEARING NOTHING, BUT HIS TEDDYBEAR UNDERWEAR. Kami, why did these things only happen to him? His tail was still wrapped around his waste, which was good as no one would think it was a tail.
He quickly dried off, then headed back to camp. He sped up when he realised that a strong Ki was near his classmates. A very strong familiar Ki. It was Goten.
********
Thanks for reading, and now a little competition. The aim is… who can think up the worse thing for Goten to do, here, and at OSH. To play hell on Gohan's life. The person who wins…gets…a cyber chocolate chip muffin. ^_^
Thanks to Terry Pratchett for his house mushroom idea, and my school obsession with drug leaflets and my own twisted mind for the magic mushrooms. The old mushrooms just don't cut it anymore.
Thanks for the
reviews(and the ice-creams), and I'll answer them when I get 200 reviews. So
you better review! Pretty Please? ^_^
