New Directions
Gohan walked up the path to the capsule corporation building. Goten was conveniently perched onto his shoulders hanging on to the two 'handles', which happened to be his un tied hair. He slowly bent to put his over night bag down as to not jolt his little brother and lose chunks of his hair again (as on top of his head was Goten's favourite place, even if it did grow back remarkably quickly it hurt). He straightened up gradually.
"Goten we are here, you can come down now"
"Oh, ok alright"
Gohan tried not to wince and yelp as his brother scaled down his hair, although a small twitch showed below his left eye.
"Daddy is this where veggie Mr vegetable person houses"
His brother asked this innocently, looking up at his brother with inherited puppy dog eyes, (he hadn't quite got the hang of correct sentences yet). Gohan amused, glared at the little sayin mock seriously, put his index finger out and waggled it a bit.
"Now Goten what did I tell you about that calling people names, especially Vegitta?"
"No call people names"
"And?"
"wen I do don't call veggie names 'hind his back, tell them too his faces so we can all see him make a foo' of himself"
They both grinned, there was nothing better then winding Vegitta up and Goten, Gohan suspected, would do for many years to come.
"Great your learning fast my little man, now, shall we go in or, shall we stay here and savour the delights of the remarkably plain front doors?"
Goten bounced up and down in his growing enthusiasm.
"Go in, go in, go in," he shrieked
Gohan knocked thrice on the large double doors. Almost immediately there was a loud 'coming' originating from inside the house. Goten let out a huge high-pitched 'eep' and darted behind his brother's legs and the protective laver of hair (sometimes he could be painfully shy). The door opened and a blue haired woman pocked her head out.
"Hey Gohan its good to see you everyone's here apart from Krillin and 18"
Gohan nodded giving a wide smile, which showed his sharp fangs
"Great then come in and Gohan put the fangs away remember inconspicuously we don't want people to know you're an alien"
Gohan huffed
"Well you could have said"
He hadn't even realised they had extracted, ah the joys of sayin genes. Gohan grinned again his tail wrapping around Goten's middle and bringing him around into his arms to see who it was, getting over his shyness when he saw some one he knew he shouted out delightedly.
"Hello Mrs Bulma lady"
Bulma smiled at them tilted her head back motioning them in and wandered down the hall. Gohan picked up his bag came in shut the door and rushed after her around various corridors that was until she stopped suddenly.
"Now this is your room for tonight"
Gohan quickly thrust his bag in before she slammed the door shut, Goten was giggling at the look on his guardians face.
"Now come on the rest of the gang are outside, I can't wait until they see you again"
She said this all to Goten plucking him out of Gohan's arms totally ignoring him. She then took off exclaiming about kitchens, food and hungry sayin males. He could see Goten's hand waving at him from behind Bulma's back.
In the garden the Z warriors and their respective families milled around talking to each other, catching up while at the same time avoiding Vegitta like the plague, generally having a good time reuniting. They all quieted down when a new but strangely familiar face came out which (barring Vegitta and M.Trunks) they didn't recognise, that was until M.Trunks shouted a loud-
"Hi Gohan"
It seamed like every one moved forward at once, exclaiming how much he had grown and their greetings. After the initial good wishes had died down Gohan quickly went to talk to Trunks. Krillin was the next and last to arrive with 18, Gohan was shocked to see that 18 was pregnant, Krillin was literally glowing and he was also taking cracks at his new found hair with good grace. He sat 18 down as her weight and size was awkward to move and after about 5 minutes the short man came over to were he and Trunks were talking
"Hey My name is Krillin and may I ask who you are"
He said this in a friendly sort of way and was sticking out his hand. Mirai [1] snorted into his drink having to turn away so no one saw his face turning red, the grunt being turned into a coughing fit, it was made worse when Krillin in a concerned voice floated up, banged him on the back and said
"You okay their mate"
This sent Mirai into a hysterical fit of laughter and he ran to the nearest building to calm down, this just happened to be his fathers outside gravity chamber. This then caused Vegitta to gleefully follow exclaiming loudly that if 'the brat' was allowed to train then so was he and disappeared in there too. Covering a grin Gohan turned back to Krillin grinning unfortunately his fangs had slid out again with out him noticing and his tail unwrapped from his waist, that and all his hair, he looked horribly dark and sinister plus the black and silver Gi [2] he was a sight to be reckoned with. Krillin took an involuntary step back. The image was ruined though, when a small bundle of energy bulldozed into him, sending him flying flat on his back on a one-way ticket to the ground. He looked up into his brothers mischievous eyes and growled low deep and threatening, Goten just growled back cutely he hadn't quite developed the throat muscles yet to make a good sound Gohan chuckled and pocked his brother in the belly in retaliation Goten started bouncing
"Dinners-ready-Mrs-Bulma-lady-said-to-come-in-and-eat-and-get-veggie-out-of- the-G-R he stopped there thinking for a moment, Daddy What's the GR?
"Well Goten it's exactly the same as our gravity chamber at home, a bit smaller maybe"
~Vast understatement of the year~ he thought
~The chamber at home is twice the size~ (He'd asked Bulma to make it that way)
Gohan picked himself and his brother of the floor and faced Krillin who was in the classic 'ticked off' stance, leaning on one foot while tapping the other, arms crossed
"Hey it was you who make a fool of yourself Krillin"
"Whatever bro, its good to see you again, this must be little Goten"
"Yea, say hello 'ten this is Krillin he was our fathers best friend"
"Hi Krillin yoo are in the piciture we gots"
"Yep that's me"
"Ten I want you to go with Krillin and get every one to dinner ok, I'll try to pry Vegitta and Trunks from their so called 'training'"
He handed the tiny boy over to Krillin and left hoping they were not killing each other.
Dinner was not a classy thing so-to-speak, well not with 1 full and 4 half sayins around. They were around a massive table to hold every one that turned up, piccolo as usual was not eating The biggest shock in the day was 18, apparently she was now a big time musical celebrity, and her mobile phone was constantly on the go. Someone whiny person called Barry calling about when her maternity leave was over and when the new concerts and tours could be set, in the end she just Ki Blasted the thing making Krillin wine that it was the 7th one this week. She just gave him a look. Yamcha had taken up professional baseball again and Krillin was a history teacher. Tien had married Lunch; they had a child around 8 years old. Bulma was developing new projects faster and better then before of course and Vegitta was the same as always, so was Master Roshi, Shaking his head Gohan realised with a jolt that they would never change, none of them, he wondered why he had stayed away in the first place. Goten was loving it here and so was he, he realised. He looked at piccolo; scowling good-naturedly at the knowing look on his mentors face he felt invisible tension ease. He had done it and asked for help, faced his friends and was doing what he had dreamed of-well getting to it any way, all he needed to do now was to stay in a building cram packed with teenage humans. He started to pay attention as Bulma turned to speak to him.
"So Gohan what are your plans for tomorrow?"
"Well I'm going with 'Ten to orange star high to take this entrance exam, if I pass I start next week. were also going to see the nursery there its said to be good, Vegitta also said trunks goes there"
"Yes that's right, you will be going to school with Mirai and Goten will be with Trunks won't he?"
"Yes"
"Well the nursery opens on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. The rest of the time he can come around here, I don't mind at all, I need something to keep trunks occupied, and now because of his royal highness, he thinks human children are 'week' so usually he hangs around with Mirai its doing my head in."
"What year is Mirai in Bulma?"
"I think its 13, this I his last year, you will be in the end of 11, it's a horrible time to start school you only have two terms before exams"
"Well I'll find the time to do the work, I am glad that Goten's having fun today, I think I was more nervous then he was"
"Its always the same, oh another thing I have been meaning to speak to you about is about your castle and the great things it could be.
Bulma droned on and on about his granddad's castle, in the end he just blocked her out unintentionally but business proposals just didn't interest him, concentrating on desert, he just found himself nodding in certain places to satisfy her, agreeing to everything. He was thankfully drawn away when Vegitta pulled him and Mirai into the gravity room. Bulma scowled at him he just retaliated by saying
"You never said about after dinner woman"
(A few hours and a shower later)
The moment Gohan got back into the house he noticed that
One, Goten was covered head to foot in flour, as was Trunks and
Two, 'ten was looking horribly tired.
Gohan shook his head mumbling about not going to even ask as he swept down on Goten, with practiced ease he swung him onto a hip marching the way to there temporary rooms to bath and bed his charge, he didn't like to admit it but he was worried about his exams, he hadn't been taught since his mother died and getting Goten settled it was going to take a lot of adjusting he lay down to sleep all the while waiting for tomorrow and hopefully the rest of his life.
