Friendly Foe

Isuzu couldn't ignore the fact that he was half-human, no matter what Toyota told him about human being youkai hater because they were superior he still wanted to live like them, for awhile before the entire inhabitant of Earth got replaced by demons. He had thought going after Piccolo his father, but changed his mind; if his like Toyota said he will jeopardize the only chance they got to stay here. After he met Lou he had used the information he had given him and find an apartment and even registered in Satan University, he couldn't wait to make new friends and live like he was one of them.

"Will you like something to drink or eat?" asked Isuzu to Gohan once he had sat down, even though he only drinks water or sucking people's energy he had made sure that he had food around like everyone else

"Well I could go for some juice" replied this one

"I got grape juice" said Isuzu in the kitchen

"This would do grape his my favorite"

"So tell me Mr. Son what bring you around here?" asked Isuzu after he had given him a can of grape juice, took a glass of water for himself and milk for Mitsubishi

"The dorm on campus is full so I had to find another place to stay for this semester"

"Have you found something?"

"Nothing yet"

"I have an idea why don't we become roommate I have plenty of space here" said Isuzu

"Well I don't know what to say"

"Say yes, I am new around here sure could use the company and you save my cat that's the least I can do. Let me show you around" said Isuzu getting up and Gohan followed him.

The apartment was made of one bedroom where the bathroom was, a kitchen which was an extension of a of another room that could be use for living-room and a little balcony that had a superb view over the entire city

"This place is very nice" said Gohan

"Yes it is you'll like it here, that's if you accept my proposition"

"I will be stupid to refuse"

"Well than that's settle it"

"Oh wait how much will I have to pay?"

"Nothing I got someone who's paying the rent for me"

"Well see you tomorrow; I'll bring my stuff with me"

"See you tomorrow Mr. Son"

"Call me Gohan we going to be roommates so I think we can call each other by our first name"

"Okay Gohan see you later" said Isuzu while walking him at the door as soon he left he said to his cat

"This was easier than I thought it would be, and I am sorry I didn't let eat this one Mitsu he was very nice, I think will become best friend"

Like promise Gohan came the next day with a capsule containing all he will need, he put his books on the shelves, hung his clothes and made himself comfortable

"Where am I going to sleep?" he asked to Isuzu

"Will share the bedroom it's big enough for two, you just have to put your bed next to mine" said Isuzu while helping him out.

When they finished they sat in the floor looking around them

"We should celebrate!" said Gohan and went to the fridge and offered a can of beer to Isuzu who took it

"A toast to our new friendship!" said Gohan and started drinking Isuzu opened his and sniffed it made an funny face and put it away

"So what's on for tomorrow we got one more day before the first day of class?" said Isuzu

"I have to go see someone and you?"

"Nothing" said Isuzu

The next day Gohan went to see Videl and invited her to see his place

"You should have told me you needed a place to stay Gohan, we got plenty of room at my house!" said the young woman

"Yes, but I wanted to have a place on my own"

"Where's your roommate?"

"I don't know"

"Well I'll see him tomorrow than, bye Gohan" said Videl leaving, Isuzu came back around ten in the afternoon soaking wet

"You are back, how was your day?" said the green-haired boy

"Fine, where have you been?"

"Walking the cat"

"Walking the cat? Usually people walked dogs not cats, you are weird Isuzu do you know that?" said Gohan getting to bed while the other young man took his wet clothes off in the bathroom

"I am really?" he said worried

"Goodnight Isuzu we are going to have a long day before us" said Gohan while turning off the lights, Isuzu really reminded him of his father

Gohan got awaken by Mitsubishi who was licking his nose

"Ewww Mitsu get off!" he got up and began to prepared himself for class while Isuzu was making breakfast, for a guy who didn't eat he was a pretty good cook

"You shouldn't have" said Gohan when he served him

"Oh that was my pleasure I like to cook" said Isuzu while taking a seat in front of him and watched him eat Gohan rose his nose from his plate and said

"What about you?"

"I've already ate"

In the TV the newscaster talk about missing people around the country and showed their pictures but as Gohan began to pay attention to the news Isuzu turn-off the TV

"Hey I was watching that!" said Gohan

"We are going to be late for class Gohan" replied Isuzu and Gohan looked at his watch and took his jacket, keys and head up for the door followed by Isuzu "You'll have to give me a ride I don't know how to drive yet" said Isuzu while getting in the convertible

"No problem I will have to teach you how to later on" said Gohan while starting the car.

They made it twenty minutes later and Gohan park his car before putting it back in its capsule, it was the march of the bishounen as the two young men walked toward the building. Isuzu was wearing a black leather pants, boots, shirt and a trench coat, Gohan was wearing a similar outfit but traded the trench coat for a lather jacket both wearing shades, everyone stopped in their track to look at them, most girls had big pink hearts instead of eyes

"It should be consider as crime to be so handsome!" said a girl

"Tall green and wonderful! Me like" said a girl while drooling

"Is it me or its hot here?" said another one

"Who are those goons?" said Sharpner jealous while Erasa and Videl couldn't take their eyes at the new comers  

"Hi guys!" said Gohan while waving to them

"Gohan???" said the three friends

"Nice make over" said Erasa

"Yeah, do you like it?"

"Definitely!" replied the blond girl

"Introduced us to your friend?" said Videl

"Oh sorry everyone please meet Isuzu he's my roommate, Isuzu this is Videl, Sharpner and Erasa"

"Hi!" said Isuzu

"Hi I am free" said Erasa

"I thought your name was Erasa" said Isuzu confused

"It is moron" said Sharpner

"Sharpner!!" said the two girls

I t was a very interesting day for Isuzu and Gohan who draw everyone's attention mostly the young women which pissed Videl royally as he started getting phone numbers from them

"For now one Gohan you'll dress as usual! What came over you anyway?" she yelled at him after chasing a group of girls

"Nothing, those aren't even my clothes their Isuzu's it was his idea!" said Gohan backing up, since that day he dressed as he used to.

After class Isuzu sat sadly on the library holding his head

"What's wrong?" asked Gohan

"Math is so complicated" he said sighing

"Well I'll tutor you" said Gohan

"Thanks Gohan" said Isuzu while the other started explaining how to solves the problems

Isuzu and Gohan became inseparable you'll never see one without the other, which began to annoy Videl who wanted sometime alone with her boyfriend without being interrupted by Isuzu incessant questioning, she had to settle down for double dates and couldn't remember the names of the girls Isuzu went out with she thought that he went out with almost every girls in his classes, one day she said to Gohan while they were out and Isuzu was in the bathroom

"Does he have to follow you everywhere you go like a sick puppy?!"

"Come one Videl the guy is new around here"

"I think he can handle himself now!" she said and continued to complain

"I am sorry that my presence bothers you" said Isuzu behind her, she turned her head and laughed nervously but Isuzu continued saying

"I won't impose myself anymore"

"This is not what I meant" said Videl

"I do understand that you want to be alone with Gohan and I'll respect your wish, goodnight" he said leaving

"I think you hurt his feelings Videl" said Gohan

"Whatever, I don't like him anyway!"

"Oh why?

"He's too nice, there is something not quite right about him"

"You just imagining things" said Gohan, when this one came home he found Isuzu sitting at his desk doing his homework

"Sorry Isuzu about Videl" said Gohan and without looking at him he replied

"That's ok"

"Well I decided that tomorrow, will start your driving lessons"

"Great I can barely wait" said Isuzu

The next day Gohan thought he was going to die, and grasped into the dashboard as Isuzu drove the car at high speed between the mountains and made it swirled around them, the hanyou finally stopped in front of a grocery store in a town nearby and park behind another car and said

"This was fun can we do it again?"

"Not in my life time you won't, I think you have shortened my life of ten years!" said Gohan while letting himself dropped from the car

"You looked pale do you want something to drink?" asked Isuzu

"Yeah some water please" said Gohan and Isuzu disappeared inside the store

"Hey mister!" said a little brown-haired girl with a teddy bear in her arms

"Hi there!"

"Can you help me find my brother? We were playing on the street and I think I got lost" said the girl crying

"Okay don't cry I'll help you! Tell me where did you saw him last?" asked Gohan while kneeling near her and the girl pointed at a dark alley then she rose her arms so he could carry her Gohan hold her and walked toward it but as soon he turned into the corner the girl transformed into a snake and bite him on the neck. His vision became blurry as he fell on the floor unconscious

"Good job Hyundai!" said Honda

"This one have a lot of energy, Toyota will be please" said Mazda.

Isuzu got out of the store but Gohan was nowhere to be found

"Gohan where are you?" he shouted but no answer he closed his eyes then walked strait to the dark alley when he saw the tree youkai loading Gohan on a truck

"Let him go!" he said calmly

"Otousama!" said the three demons

"Mazda, Honda, and Hyundai, am I right?" said the young man arms crossed

"Otousama we've been looking for you everywhere!" said Honda

"You've got to come with us!" said Mazda

"The others are dying" said Hyundai

"I don't care"

"Are you going to forsaken your own children?" said Mazda

"You aren't really my children Toyota is just using me to bring you in this place" said Isuzu

"Does it really matter otousama you are our only chance to survival we need you" said Honda

"Please otousama come with us" said Hyundai

"I will but not now, but first release him" said Isuzu

"We need his high ki to sustain the others which didn't hatch yet" said Mazda

"You won't need him I'll come with you but not now" said Isuzu

"You heard him let the ningen go" said Mazda

"Will be waiting for you otousama" said Honda while getting in the truck and they left.

Isuzu carried Gohan to the car and drove to Mount Paoz after taking care of the bite on his neck

"What happened to him?" said Chichi when she saw his son

"I don't now he just won't wake up" said Isuzu sadly, Gokou took his son and carried him to his bedroom

"I think he'll be okay he just need some rest, thanks for bringing him here. Your name is Isuzu right?" said Gokou

"Yes sir" said Isuzu while looking at him curiously

"Thanks for bringing my brother back home" said Goten

"You are welcome" said Isuzu this last one stayed at the Son's house and remained at Gohan's side

"Don't worry Gohan you'll be ok the venom's effect will run out before tomorrow" said Isuzu and looked through the window and saw Gokou walking away and added

"I really want to stay with you Gohan, you are the only friend I have, if I return to the hive they will put me to sleep and we'll never see each other again, unless…" he said the got up opened the window and jumped outside

"Hey Mr. Son wait for me!" said Isuzu

"Call me Gokou! What's the matter Isuzu?"

"Where are you going?" asked the young man

"To the forest there are some plants that grow there that could help Gohan get better"

"I am coming with you" he said and they walked together toward the woods

"You look familiar to me" said Gokou

"I am"

"Yes, you remind me of someone but I can't find who" said Gokou scratching his scalp

"Tell me Gokou, how strong are you?"

"I am super strong"

"Yes you'll be perfect for the job" said Isuzu smiling and Gokou asked perplexed

"What job?"

Isuzu came closer to him and whispered something and Gokou found himself pinned to a tree holding by five energy rings one in each wrists and ankles the other one his neck

"You did this do you?" asked Gokou

"Yes I did they are magical rings, and stronger his prisoner better they hold" he said when he saw Gokou struggling to free himself

"Stay still it won't take too long but its going to hurt like hell" said Isuzu in front of him

The boy was now only at a few millimeters of Gokou's face, the saiya-jin could feel his hot breath on his face

"What are you doing? Don't tell me you want to kiss me" said Gokou as he saw that the young boy lips were near his, their lips touched and Isuzu opened his mouth and all the demons seeds that were attached together like a rope came through his mouth push down into Gokou's throat. The transfer last fifteen minutes and as soon it was completed Isuzu fell on the ground unconscious, the rings that were holding Gokou vanished but this one fell on his knees and tried to throw up but couldn't, soon he felt an excruciating pain inside of him like entire body's cells were on fire. He rolled in the ground in pain and screaming his lunges out and then stayed still for awhile, than got on his feet walked toward Isuzu and picked him up and said smiling

"Don't worry otousama I'll take care of everything"
