School came early for the young demi-saiyan prince. It opened in mid August and Gohan has only been home for about a week, talking to himself out loud for most of the week. Chi-Chi still wanted Gohan to see someone about his 'voices' but Gohan told her it was just the prince talking to him. No one could hear the prince so Chi-Chi labeled her son crazy.
Gohan was packing the last of his books in his sac that he carried last year. Syrus was giving him the cold shoulder for a while, which Gohan didn't mind, only because Gohan said that "Prince Syrus is not a prince if he doesn't have his own planet to take care of.'' Well, it did take care of Prince Syrus for a while but the downer was that Syrus kept on giving him nightmares every night. The ones about Cell and some of Crystalline. Gohan could just kill him if it wasn't him.
Goten watched Gohan leave once again for high school. He wasn't talking to himself anymore and that didn't seem too much of a problem. Once and a while he would, but most of the time his brother was normal, well normal for a saiyan at least.
Gohan landed on the roof where Videl was waiting for him. She smiled when she saw him and of course he smiled back. He did have a crush on Videl and Videl knew. She was playing hard to get with Gohan and he was sadly losing that game. Poor Gohan.
" Hey," Videl said. " How has life been treating you, lack the voices of course."
" Well, Syrus is mad at me so I haven't heard from him since yesterday. I know that he's going to say something to distract me from school." Gohan sighed. " How come I can't be normal?"
" Because if you were then you would be scary," Videl said heading downstairs. " C'mon, you don't want to be late on your first day back."
" Oh right," Gohan said following Videl. 'She's changed after Buu that's for sure. She's cute too. Maybe I should ask her out or something like to the movies or even dinner. Yeah that sounds good. I'll ask her of she wants to get a snack after school.'
/And if she rejects?/
" She won't," Gohan said out loud. Videl turned around puzzled.
" She won't what," Videl asked. " She who?"
" Oh um," Gohan said trying to think fast. " My mom. She won't, ah, yell at me for being late on the first day."
" Syrus finally talking to you?"
" You can tell," Gohan said slouching. " If I do start talking to myself can you stop me? It's hard to stop sometimes because it feels like I am talking to someone."
" I'll slap you upside the head," Videl said putting her hands on her hip. " It will snap you out. Now c'mon, we got class to go to."
" Coming!"
Gohan and Videl ran to the classroom just before the bell. The class was the same as last year and everyone sat in the same seat. Gohan and Videl just gave a shrug and sat down in their seats. They waited for the teacher to come.
" Hey Videl hey Gohan," Erasea said smiling at both of them. " How was your summer?"
" Same as last year," Videl answered. " Well, expect Buu half the food in the kitchen. I need to put that guy in a diet."
" Eats like Gohan, doesn't he," Sharpner said with a smirk. Gohan blushed. " My summer I was forced to go to camp with my little brother. There were a lot of cute girls there with their boyfriends. I learned that the hard way."
" I went to the Untied States and saw the Statue of Liberty," Erasea said. " It was a way cool road trip and we might go again next year. So Gohan, what did you do?"
" Uh.I went places too," Gohan said trying to think. " I went to a place where, ah, it had a lot of crystals. I even got one as a souvenir, see?"
Gohan showed them the crystal around his neck.
" That's pretty," Erasea said looking at it. " Where did you get it?"
" Crystalline."
" Is that a new place," Sharpner asked. " That necklace does look cool."
" Um," Gohan said tucking the crystal underneath his shirt. " It kinda went out of business. The.land was destroyed."
" Oh," Erasea said a bit of shock. " I bet that place was beautiful."
" You wouldn't believe it. When the sun was set on the right place, you can see a rainbow stretch across the land. The people there were always concerned about you until they." Gohan shut his eyes and slowly opened them. " The died with the land."
Both Sharpner and Erasea gasped.
" Woah," Sharpner said. " I wonder why it wasn't on the news."
" It was somewhere else," Videl answered for Gohan since she knew that this Prince Syrus dude was doing something that affected Gohan. " I bet it was a wonderful place. Hey did you hear, we won't be switching classes anymore. We will have one teacher for a whole year and we can switch books after the certain class is over. Now we can't be late for class."
The class grew quiet as the principle came up to the front of the classroom. He cleared his throat before speaking.
" Good morning seniors," he spoke loudly. " I am so glad to see all of you here today. We have a new teacher this year and I hope you treat her with respect. She is new to the area and just moved her about a week ago. Please welcome your new teacher."
The principle stepped out and started talking to someone. They saw him nod and head back towards the office. The students heard clicking and saw a female teacher with her hair up in a bun. She had on a skirt that went up to her knees and slim legs. She had on a pair of black shoes and a white shirt with a black tie around it. A black pair of glasses was over her blues eyes and she smiled as she walked in.
" Hello class," she said smiling warmly. " I guess I'm your teacher for the year. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Faye, Faye Hino but since I'm your teacher you can call me Miss Hino."
Gohan eyes went wide as his pupils went small. His mouth was somewhat open as he stared at the teacher in front of him.
' No,' Gohan thought. ' This can't be the same person. Hino had yellow eyes not blue. But.she could be hiding herself and posing as a teacher. Oh man, this is not good. If she sees the crystal around my neck she'll know that I'm Syrus.'
Videl noticed the expression on Gohan's face. He looked afraid of the new teacher and she noticed that he was shaking in the hands. Hino, now why did that sound familiar?"
" Are there any questions before I start," Miss Hino said. Gohan raised his hand. " Yes Mr. um," Miss Hino looked through the papers on her desk. " Mr. Gohan?"
" Can I use the bathroom," Gohan asked putting his shaking hand down. " It's a real emergency."
" On the first day of school?"
" Probably some bad cooking from my mom."
" You may go but come back as soon as you can. You will be taking a test on what you remember from last year and it's really important for you to take it so I know what to teach."
Gohan just gave a quick nod as he ran out of the class. He quickly made it to the boys' room and ran to the mirrors. There he saw the reflection of Prince Syrus having the same look of panic on his face.
" It can't be her," Gohan shouted at the mirror. " The name Hino is the same but could it be the same person?"
/It could be,/ Syrus said. /Hino is very strong and I know that she probably survived the attack from the planet./
" Should I tell the others?"
/I don't know. It could be a mistake but I do get a weird vibe from her./
" You're not the only one. What if it is her? Oh man, this can't be happening! Not on the first day of school. So what are we going to do?"
/For one stay calm./ Syrus didn't look very calm. /If it is Hino, the crystal would glow. Hino can take any form of a body or even clone a person. You shouldn't trust anyone, not even your family or friends./
" I guess," Gohan said with a sigh. " Glad that you are talking to me."
/Like I have a choice./
The reflection of Syrus faded and Gohan saw his own reflection. Gohan sighed as he walked out of the bathroom and back in the classroom. All he had to do was stay calm and blend in for a while. If Miss Hino really were the evil Hino, then Gohan would be on some trouble.
****
It wasn't really much of a school day. They had an assembly and a fire drill, plus the classroom talks for each grade. They spent most of the day away from the class or in Gohan's case, away from Miss Hino. She didn't bother Gohan much and for a while Gohan thought that he was mistaking her and that she was really a teacher.
It was the end of the day and Gohan was walking towards his locker. Videl wasn't there and Gohan frowned.
' She should be around here somewhere,' Gohan thought to himself. ' I'll ask her if she wants to go out for some ice cream or even a pizza. I know she won't mind since we did have lunch a bit early. Ah, I can hear Erasea's voice from the corner. She has to be talking to Videl. Okay, here it goes.'
Gohan completely forgot about his locker as he walked towards Erasea. Like Gohan said, Erasea was talking to Videl but Videl looked a little mad about something.
" What do you mean Videl," Gohan over heard Erasea say. " C'mon, I know that you like him."
" I do not," Videl said. Gohan froze for a moment before walking further. " Why would I like someone like him?"
" Because he's smart, cute, and he's a great study buddy. I'm sure he would mind since you guys are friends. You know you like him Videl."
" I do not," Videl said in almost a shout. " Gohan is a good friend and that's it! The only thing he is good for is helping me pass my studies and doing my homework for me. Please, he's not cute and he's too weird for me. Who can like a guy that's so.so.weird? I mean c'mon, Gohan? He only has a face that a mother could love."
Videl looked at Erasea and saw her face a bit in shock. Videl looked to where Erasea was looking and gasped.
"I-I guess I came at the wrong time," Gohan said in shock himself. The one he really liked and actually cared for.said those.those.things about him. Without another second passing, Gohan quickly ran off in the other direction and faded within the crowd. Erasea turned to Videl and placed her hands on her hips.
" I hope you're happy," she said turning around. She walked away and Videl followed.
" Erasea wait," Videl shouted. " I didn't mean to, really! It's just.Erasea you're walking too fast!"
Gohan made it to the roof and flew off at top speed.
" How could I be so stupid,' Gohan said as he felt his eyes start to water. '' Videl liking me? She's rich and famous and she doesn't need someone like me hanging around her."
/I told you that you shouldn't fall in love./
" JUST SHUT UP!"
Syrus did.
Poor Gohan-chan. (sniff) Videl broke his widdle heart. I wonder how this will effect Gohan, or even Prince Syrus.
