Alright here's the first chapter (I'm just gonna call it "Between" for now) Remember now that this is my first 1st person story so bear with me!
I gazed out the window of the classroom and sighed. If only I could be outside. I almost regretted torturing myself by choosing the window seat, but then again, it was the only thing that made these classes bearable. Sometimes I just wish I could blast the Orange Star High School and the planet along with it. But I DID have a job to do.
If Sensei* has sent me here then there MUST be a good reason. Although whatever it was I couldn't fathom it. Was I supposed to Judge the humans and the planet by what they taught in this school? Or was I to Judge them by the students themselves? I sighed again.
When Sensei's ready to tell me, he will. My teacher, Senso-sama*, was always secretive about training and whatnot. But I play that game too. I'm always careful not show what I really am. Senso-sama thinks that I am just an extraordinary human boy he found stranded on a Kami-sama* forsaken planet. I chuckled at that. Although I'm kind of ashamed that I have to hide my true identity and being, but I have to survive how I can.
The bell rang and there was a mad dash to pack and get out the door for lunch but amid the rush, I took my time.
"Hurry up Aida-chan!" another student leered as he dashed down the steps past me. "You'll be late for lunch!" Some of the students call me 'Aida-chan' because they think my given (and chosen) name Aida sounded so 'girly' but as always I just shrug it off. 'Save your energy for the real battles' was an old quote I had learned to trust.
I watch another student from the corner of my eye. It was because of that student that I was stalling. I didn't want to be anywhere near the other. Of all the people in the universe, that student was the one person who could uncover my true identity. And it was my luck that got me stuck in a classroom with him for hours on end. I hiked my backpack onto my shoulders as the other student reached the door.
"Son Gohan!" The teacher called and the student that I had been watching paused at the door.
"Hai*?" Gohan answered. I said some choice (and not so clean) words that I had picked up on other planets as the one person that I didn't want to come in contact with was blocking my only exit. And I had no reason to stall any longer. I took a deep breath and advanced to the door. If the half-blood caught me there's no telling what would happen. Suppressing my ki even farther, I passed Son Gohan and the teacher, but not unscathed. Son had noticeably slowed in whatever he was saying to the teacher and he watched me as I passed him.
Once out of the classroom and the door shut, I let out a breath that I hadn't even realized I was holding.
Does Son know? Did he figure it out? Has he discovered what I am? What now? Millions of questions ran through my head but I came up with only one answer and an old quote: "Tomorrow the answers, today the battle"
My first martial arts instructor was a well seasoned (if low-leveled) fighter named Huki. I was young and asking a lot of "why" questions. "why am I here?" and "why are we---" and many others. He told me only time can give me the answers and that I should concentrate on the 'battle' or day at hand. So I did. And the next battle in line was……..LUNCH!
