Chapter 4: I am Kami!



"Gohan, I swear I had nothing to do with it," he said frantically, waving his arms around in panic.

Gohan glared at him for a moment, as if making a decision. "Fine Dende, I believe you.. for now," he growled, dropping the young Kami to the ground.

Dende immediately began to breathe again. He had been holding his breath whilst he waited for Gohan to make his decision. Happy that he was safe, he immediately began thanking Kami. He only stopped when he saw the strange looks he was getting from Gohan and Mr. Popo. Dende was confused for a moment, and then blushed as he realised. I am Kami! How stupid am I? I was thanking myself!!

Standing up, Dende brushed some dust from his clothes and looked timidly at Gohan, trying to read his thoughts. Gohan continued to glare at Dende for a few moments, but finally sighed and glanced around. Both Mr. Popo and Piccolo were watching him nervously.

Gohan blushed and put his hand behind his head, laughing nervously. The others continued to stare at him.

Turning back to the guardian of Earth, Gohan resumed his glaring. "Alright. If you didn't have anything to do with Vegeta becoming my history teacher, tell me who did," his tone was menacing.

Dende swallowed nervously and managed to say, "It was Bulma. She told Vegeta to get a job, and when she heard that the position of history teacher at Orange Star High School was opening up, she immediately made him apply."

The shock was evident on Gohan's face. Wild thoughts raced through his mind. Bulma! Why would she do this to me?? I thought we were friends. And even if Vegeta did apply, why the hell did they accept him? Didn't they realise that he knows nothing about the history of the Earth!

Dende was slowly backing away as he saw the different emotions flicker across Gohan's face. Shock. Anger. Sadness. Confusion. Anger again. He just hoped Gohan wouldn't take his anger out on him again. Kami knows he was shaken up enough already. Dende stopped and blushed again. Damn it! I am Kami; I have to try to remember that.

Gohan shook his head slowly after a few minutes of tense silence. Looking up, he saw that Dende was backing away from him, and even Piccolo was cringing at the thought of the onslaught that may ensue.

Giving them all a smile to assure them that he wasn't about to attack them, he ran his fingers through his hair, trying to think. First of all, he wanted to know why Bulma had done this to him. Secondly, he wanted to think of a way to prevent Vegeta from coming to school. A disabling injury perhaps.

Piccolo walked over to stand next to Gohan, and placed a hand on his shoulder in a friendly gesture.

Gohan noticed and nodded at him, acknowledging his presence.

"I don't know what I would do if I was in your situation kid. But since there is nothing that you can really do about it, I suggest you just accept it and ride it out. Maybe you should talk to Vegeta about it, maybe you can work out a compromise," said the green giant.

Gohan had to laugh. Compromise with Vegeta? There were some things in the universe that just were not possible, and that was definitely on the list. He knew Vegeta wanted to torture him as much as possible.

Nodding to show that he had listened to his former mentor, he sighed and walked to the edge of the lookout. Staring down upon the Earth, he decided to take his advice and just try to ride it out. He would deal with what happened, when it happened. But first, he had to pay a visit to a certain blue-haired woman.

Offering a quick goodbye to everyone on the lookout, he blasted off and headed directly for his destination. Yes, he would be at Capsule Corporation very soon. And there would be hell to pay.

Ohhh! A cliffy! I wonder what Gohan plans to do to Bulma. Can her frying pan protect her from his wrath. But what if Bulma has some guests over. How can they influence his reaction. You will just have to read the next chapter to find out :P
