Note: This is really a filler chapter to tell the basic Gohan's time at High School before Buu shows up… As I said before I go where the wind takes me. If it popes into my mind, I write it. It's as simple as that. BTW Thanks for all the reviews! I was extremely surprised that people actually LIKED my story! And if your wondering, I will complete this story, not leave it hanging unfinished till the end of time! There are too many never to be finished stories on FF.net, and I don't plan on adding to that number.
Disclaimer: Me own something?? HA! I don't even own the clothes on my back! My parent's do until I'm 18 years old I hear…
Due to my very unpolished writing skills, there will undoubtedly be some OOC moments in this story, and all I can say is I'm sorry!!
"MOM! I'm home!" Gohan walked through the door of his family's small country home, and was instantly tackled by the small blur know as Goten.
"HEY GOHAN!! Can we spar now?? Ppplllleeeaaassseeee??"
"Whoa! Calm down squirt! Can't spar now, gotta talk to mom. But I promise that we'll spar after dinner, ok?
"YA! Can you teach me how to fly then too?"
"Sure I will!" Gohan smiled down on his younger brother. "Anyway, where's mom?"
"Right here." Startled, Gohan turned around to see his mother cleaning a plate with a white cloth. "How was school today? Make many friends?"
"To answer your questions, 1: A living hell, and 2: Sorta, these three people kept following me around all day."
"GOHAN! Don't use that kind of language in front of Goten! I swear, Vegeta and Piccolo are a terrible influence on you!" He sweated a little under her glare, but wasn't too worried. She'd forget about it in 3, 2, 1… "So who where these three? Hmmm? I'm dieing to know! Oh my little boy is growing up!"
sigh "I set next to them in most of my classes. Uh… Videl, Erasa, and….um….what's his name? Sharpner! That's it. Anyway, they're all really annoying. Erasa hasn't had a neuron fire in her brain since the day she was born, Videl is a nosey brat, and Sharpner is a too sure of himself jerk. The whole damn place is a hell-hole!"
"Well, with that being the case, don't you even THINK about skipping school tomorrow! I know you don't like it, but you promised to go this year, and by Kami you WILL go this year."
"Fine. Come on Goten." Goten jumped up and started to follow Gohan out the door.
"And where exactly do you think you're going?"
"To spar with Goten, and teach him to fly. He's long overdue in learning it."
"Whatever for? You gave him the Flying Nimbus, he doesn't need to learn to fly!"
'I don't have time for this. What can I say that will end this now in my favor? I know…' "I know that, but think of this: What if Goten falls off Nimbus? He'll drop right to the ground and 'SPLAT,' one Goten pancake." Chi Chi shuttered at the mental image of her youngest son splattered on the ground.
"Fine, but don't be late for dinner! It's meatloaf night!" Gohan and Goten where out the door, and out of sight before she could blink. 'Sigh, what's a mother to do?'
"DAD! I'M HOME!" Videl looked around the foyer of the Hercule Mansion only to find nobody there. She sighed and started towards the stairs.
"Ah, good evening Miss Videl. May I take your coat?" She turned around to see a tall, well-dressed elderly man.
"Thanks Jenkins. Do you know where dad is, by any chance?"
"Yes, Mister Hercule is in his study, reviewing his old fighting tapes I believe. Do you wish for me to get him for you?"
"Uh, no thanks. I'll see you later Jenkins." She smiled at the old man.
"Your welcome, Miss Videl. Have a good evening." He turned and walked towards the dining room. Videl sighed and climbed the stairs to her room.
'The Turtle Hermit… How could he know the legendary Turtle Hermit? Maybe he's related to one of his old students? That might make some since. There is one way to find out. I'll check online for some info, maybe I'll find something.' She entered her room, booted up the computer and logged online. After about half an hour of searching various sites, she finally found one with some information on what she wanted.
THE FOLOWING IS WHAT THE WEBSITE SHOWED
Needed for basic plot.
~Kame House School of Martial Arts~
Sensei: Master Roshi, the Turtle Hermit
Known Students:
Son Gohan Sr.: Known Family: GRANDSON (Goku)
Ox King: Known Family: DAUGHTER (Chi Chi)
Son Goku: Known Family: WIFE (Chi Chi) SON (Gohan) SON (Goten)
Krillin: Known Family: NONE
'My Kami… Three students! He's related to THREE STUDENTS OF MASTER ROSHI!!! Gohan Sr., Goku, and the Ox King… Wait a second… If his grandfather is the Ox King, that would make his mom a princess. And if his mom is a princess, that would make him a prince of the Ox Kingdom! [1] And besides that, his father is the legendary Son Goku!!! There's MUCH more to this kid then I first realized! The problem is, I get the felling that this is just the tip of the iceberg! Woo, you are one complicated guy Son Gohan…'
'Sigh… Day two of high school. The annoying teachers, the annoying students, the annoying classes. If I weren't going to get in trouble for doing it, I'd blow the whole place to kingdom come. Oh well.' He was jolted out of his thoughts by the teacher's annoying (I'm on a roll here) French accent.
"Good afternoon class. Today we will study British poetry of the 1700's" The entire class sighed. "Videl!" She looked up from her notebook. "Please read from page 498, "An Essay on Man" by Alexander Pope."
"Uh, yes Mrs. Flores. Um… 'Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is man. Placed on this isthmus of…'"
'Kami I'm bored. I wish something exciting would happen. Well, something exciting that doesn't involve the possibility of the world's destruction or enslavement at the hands of a powerful villain. Just normal excitement. Please?'
"'…of thought and passion, all confused: Sill by himself abused, or disabused; Created half to rise, and half to fall; Great lord of all things, yet a…'" Videl was suddenly cut off by her beeping wristwatch. As Gohan watched with curiosity, She leaned down and spoke into the watch. "Ya chief?"
"Oh thank Kami we got you Videl! We got a hostage situation at the Silver Heights Hotel. 10 men have taken over the building and are holding around 30 people. We need your help!"
"I'm on it chief!" She quickly stood up. "Mrs. Flores! Police duty, I got to go."
"Of course Videl. Just hurry back, and I'll make sure someone can tell you what tonight's homework is so you can get caught up." Videl raced out of the room.
'Jeeze, what an idiot! She's going to get herself killed. If she's as weak as her father is she wouldn't stand a chance against a feather. Time for the Saiyan Warrior to get to work saving those hostages, and Videl's hide. [2] But how can I go help without drawing suspicion on myself? Oh! I know!' "Uh, Mrs. Flores?"
"Yes Gohan?"
"May I please go to the restroom?"
"Of course. Please hurry back." Gohan stood up, and calmly walked out the door.
"What's the scoop, chief?" Videl crouched down next to plump police officer.
"Well, as I said before, a group of terrorists have taken over the hotel with 30 people trapped inside. They are demanding that 20 of their colleagues in various jails in the country be released, and a chopper provided to them, or they say they will start killing the hostages. What do we do?"
"WE will do nothing. I'm going to save them however."
"WAIT Videl! You don't stand a chance against them! Wait!" She didn't pay any attention however as she raced towards the doors. Mere moments after this a bright golden colored streak of light came racing towards the building, stopping momentarily before crashing through one of the windows of the building, into one of the rooms of the hotel. "Oh my! The Saiyan Warrior! Thank Kami!"
Gohan landed in a darkened room on the 15th floor of the 40-story building. 'Let's see, I sense the criminals and the hostages gathered together in a large room on the first floor. I wonder where Videl is… there she goes, she's getting close. I'd better hurry if I'm going to save her and the hostages.' He crept out of the room, and walked down the hall towards the elevators. To save time he ripped the doors open, dropping down the empty shaft towards the 1st floor.
'If I was a terrorist, where would I be?' Videl slowly walked down a service hall along the side of the large auditorium, used by the upper class hotel for conventions. Suddenly she thought she heard talking through the walls. 'Wait, what was that noise?' Faintly, she could hear the conversations of the hostage takers, and now knowing their location, she looked for the best possible route into the room.
'Shit, she's going into the room! What, is she insane? Nuts? These people are dumber than I thought!' Gohan flashed down the hall to the auditorium, blasting through the wall, just in time to see Videl locked in a death grip of a huge man, who also had a good sized gun. "Put her down now." His voice was cold.
"HEY BOSS! Lookey what we got here, it's golden-boy himself! Look, I'm shaking in my boots." Gohan smirked, launching into a quick attack, knocking the man out in one blow, much to everyone's amazement.
Gasping for breath, Videl hit the floor, 'What the hell? NO! Not him AGAIN! I don't need his help! And how the hell did he lay that guy out in one punch? Mine didn't even faze him! And is it just me, or does that guy look like… nah, it couldn't be. Gohan? Man, you losing it Videl, Gohan couldn't be that strong! Even if he is related to all those great fighters, so am I! I'm the daughter of the World Champ, so it can't be him. Can it?' Gohan had laid out almost of the terrorists when suddenly…
"HOLD IT!" Gohan, startled, paused for a second. The man opened his coat. "I got a bomb, and if you don't get us what we want, I'll blow us all to hell. NOW GET ME A DAMN CHOPPER!"
"I don't think so." Gohan smirked, launching out towards the man…
With only 10 seconds on the clock, and counting…
THAT'S IT! This chapter has a cliffhanger, not a good cliffhanger mind you, but I have been taking too long in finishing this one, so I'm cutting it a bit shorter than I was planning. Sorry folks, but don't worry, I'll have a new chapter out soon. I just hope that THIS chapter meets the standers of the other four; I don't like this one TOO much. Anyway…
What happens to Gohan, Videl, and the poor hostages? And what was Gohan's plan for not getting caught as the Saiyan Warrior? Find out in Chapter Six! And PLEASE review!
[1] Am I the only person who has ever noticed this? I was watching the early DragonBall episodes, like when they meet Chi Chi, and she is a princess, complete with a castle and kingdom. So that would make Gohan and Goten Crown Princes of the Ox Kingdom. I just wonder if I should let Vegeta find out in my fic that WOULD be a funny reaction, you have to admit that!
[2] So far Gohan doesn't know that Videl can fight, so he basically thinks she's going to get herself killed. Otherwise I don't think he would have bothered getting up. lol
