Gohan awoke somewhere he didn't recognize. He was in a forest, which one he
didn't know. He stood up and looked around and found absolutely nothing
familiar about it and noticed that the crystal wasn't glowing at all. Gohan
looked up at the sky and noticed that it was day and that he was in big
trouble. He looked at his watch and noticed that it was the-
" AFTERNOON," Gohan cried looking at the time. " Oh man! School's been done two hours ago and Mom is going to kill me. I better think of a good excuse before I get home besides I found myself in the middle of a place I don't know. Well, Dad's ki is at home so I just follow where his ki is."
Gohan quickly took off heading home. He totally forgot about Syrus and was trying to think of an excuse to get out of trouble. He could use the Saiyaman excuse, no he used that too much. Maybe he could say he spent the night at a friend's house because he was too tired, but they were all at school. He had to use the bathroom and fell asleep, that's to embarrassing.
Gohan landed in front of his house and took a deep breath. He felt more ki's in the house, Krillin, Piccolo, and even Vegeta. His mother was there too but for some reason Trunks's and Goten's ki were somewhere else, along with Tien's, 18's, Yamcha's, Videl's, and Master Roshi? They were all around.
' Mom probably sent a search crew for me,' Gohan thought taking a deep breath. ' Well, here goes nothing. I don't even have an excuse.'
Gohan lightly touched the door handle and turned it. He opened the door and saw everyone looking at him. They all stared in shock at Gohan like he did something wrong.
" Um, I can explain," Gohan said shutting the door.
" About that," Vegeta yelled pointing at Gohan.
Gohan looked to where Vegeta was pointing and noticed that he wasn't in his torn up gi from the day before, he wasn't in anything he recognized. He looked back up at Vegeta and shrugged his shoulders.
" I guess I can't explain," he said laughing slightly.
" Where were you," Chi-Chi cried with many tears in her eyes. " You've been gone for two days and you come back like this? Where were you Gohan and where did you get that and that?"
Gohan looked at what his mother pointed at and blinked once again. He really couldn't see his forehead very well so he caught his reflection from the window. A diamond was right in the middle of his forehead and he touched it. Gohan pulled away because it was hot. The crystal then disappeared and Gohan saw Syrus in the reflection.
" What's going on," Gohan yelled at his reflection. " What happened?"
/I'm sorry. When the crystal glowed I had to be set free. I had to borrow your body to see if Hino was around./
" You did it without my permission!?"
/I didn't have a choice,/ Syrus yelled. /I am not going to trust you with my battle with Hino! You are too weak to fight her and I do not trust you!/
" I can't even trust you now!"
/Stay out of something that you are not part of!/
Syrus disappeared and Gohan punched through the window. He had on Prince Syrus's clothes and that mark on his forehead was Syrus. The clothing of Syrus disappeared as Gohan's torn up gi took place. He pulled back his fist and noticed that there were scratches all over and that he was bleeding.
' My body is too weak now,' Gohan thought as he watched the blood go down his arms. He walked towards the bathroom, ignoring the stares he was getting from his family, and washed away the blood and glass on his arm. He wrapped it up in bandages and realized which hand he used to punch the window. ' I guess I won't be writing after all. I used my good hand to punch that window and now look at it. Bandaged.'
Gohan stepped out of the bathroom and walked back downstairs. Everyone, even Master Roshi, was there just watching him come down the stairs and stared at him.
" What happened to your arm," Goten asked as he noticed the bandage on Gohan's arm and hand.
" Look at the window," Master Roshi said pointing at the shattered window. " So I guess are search is over. So Gohan, were did you disappear to? See any pretty ladies on the beaches with their tight bikinis?"
Gohan gave one of those evil Vegeta-like glares at the old hermit. He backed away as Gohan walked towards his room and slammed the door shut. Everyone looked at each other in utter confusion and Chi-chi grabbed the phone.
" That's it," she said dialing the phone. " I'm calling a psychologist for that boy."
****
Weeks passed and Gohan didn't say a word to nobody. Everyone thought he was crazy and stayed out of his way. A few times when Gohan walked by, the ground would shake and a breeze, a cold one, will pass by. Vegeta kept an eye on Gohan for the most part, training with him to help keep his cool. Gohan was too powerful for Vegeta but he never give up. Gohan got a bit angrier at things and had one short fuse. Goten learned the hard way.
Gohan was doing his homework, his arm and hand were healed, and wasn't in the greatest mood. He didn't like his teacher only because she gave out too much homework and there was a project due every week. A lot of people couldn't get it done and were failing. Very few, like Gohan, were passing but came back tired as anything. The weekends were short, since the projects were announced Friday and due Monday, and Gohan had no time for fun. He, like many others, hated school.
Goten came into the room and noticed his brother writing another essay. Gohan paid no attention to Goten when he came in. Goten walked over and looked over his brother's shoulder.
" Excuse me," Gohan said moving his eyes towards Goten. " I'm busy."
" Whatcha doing," Goten asked. " Why don't you take a break and spar with-"
" I said I'm busy," Gohan growled. " Go play by yourself."
" But you are always doing homework and stuff and you never play with me anymore. Why can't you just take a break and play with me."
" Goten I warned you."
" But Gohan-" Goten was cut off by the swipe of his brother. Goten hit the wall rather hard, didn't leave a dent, and began to cry. He headed towards the door but Gohan grabbed him by the collar.
" Stop crying," Gohan shouted. Goten did. " Tell this to Mom and Dad and I will make sure you will have an early grave, got that!"
" Y-yes," Goten stuttered.
" Good," Gohan said dropping Goten on the ground. " Now go play before I change my mind about hurting you deeply."
Goten quickly ran out and Gohan sat back down in his seat. He brushed his fingers through his hair and looked back at the door. He got back up from his seat and walked out towards the door. He found Goten on the couch watching TV and Gohan sat next to him. Goten quickly moved over and sat on the opposite side of Gohan. Goku and Chi-Chi were out so that left Gohan and Goten alone at home.
" I'm sorry," Goten said in a low whisper. " I won't bother you again."
" It's my fault," Gohan said moving over and sitting next to Goten. " I just have a lot of homework and I'm not getting much sleep lately. I'm just really cranky Goten and I don't mean to take it out on you."
" You hit me."
" I know," Gohan said hugging his brother. " I'm really sorry Goten. I'm just.confused."
" Of what," Goten asked looking up at Gohan.
" Myself," Gohan answered looking straight ahead. " Sometimes I can't control myself and what I do."
" Too much homework."
" I know. I thought Mom was bad but Miss Hino is worse. I'm really sorry Goten. Please forgive me?"
" I always forgive you," Goten said hugging Gohan. " You're my big brother and brothers always forgive each other no matter what."
Gohan hugged his brother back but he still stared at the TV. He saw Syrus staring back at him with some sort of pity. He then disappeared from the TV and Gohan could only sigh. He still had homework to do and he had to cook dinner.
Gohan let go of Goten and walked in the kitchen. He found a senzu bean and gave it to Goten. Goten only frowned and Gohan walked back in his room. He noticed his brother a bit out of step but didn't think a thing about it.
' Just tired,' Goten thought as he ate the senzu bean.
****
Gohan was NOT well today. He was really dizzy, lightheaded, and couldn't concentrate no matter how much he tried. He had both hands on his head as he tried to pay attention to Miss Hino's teachings. Sadly that wasn't going well and his eyes were getting heavy fast. Videl noticed Gohan and wrote something on a piece of paper. She passed it to Gohan and Gohan saw it. He opened it and tried to read the writing.
Are you well?
That's what it said. Gohan wrote a 'no' back and passed it back to Videl. She read it and mouthed 'go to the nurse' but Gohan couldn't understand what she mouthed. He mouthed a 'what' and she mouthed 'nurse.' He shrugged his shoulders and Videl mouthed 'nurse' once again. Gohan still couldn't understand and Videl rolled her eyes.
" Excuse me," Miss Hino said noticing the two. " Are you two paying attention to the lesson at hand? If you don't pay attention then the whole class will get extra homework tonight and a one thousand and five hundred page essay on why the class shouldn't talk during a lesson."
" Miss Hino," Gohan said lifting up his hand slightly. " Can I go to the nurse?"
" Why? Are you trying to get out of my class? Going to the nurse will not help and you only go to the nurse only if it's an emergency."
" It is," Gohan said. " I really can't concentrate very well and I feel a bit light headed and dizzy."
" Did you have breakfast Gohan," the teacher asked.
" Yes."
Miss Hino looked at Gohan and heaved a sigh.
" Videl, take him to the nurse to make sure he doesn't pass out in the hallway. If he doesn't go to the nurse then you both will be in trouble. Do I make myself clear?"
" Yes," both Gohan and Videl said as the got up. Gohan almost fell down the stairs but Videl helped him keep his balance. They made it out the door and the class looked at each other.
" Oh my stomach."
" My throat is sore."
" Cramps."
" I broke my leg!"
" My brain exploded!"
" I'm bleeding!"
" I tripped and fell on my back!"
" I stuck a pencil up my nose."
Gohan leaned on the lockers as they walked towards the nurse's office. His vision wasn't improving any and he had to stop a few times to find some sort of vision. The ground kept on going in different directions and Gohan wasn't even sure where he was.
Gohan's knees felt very heavy and he fell on them. His whole sight was just a light and his body felt hot all over. He was panting, sweating, and had to shut his eyes because it was too bright. Even with his eyes shut he still saw bright light. He felt something on his head and something wrap around his chest. He could barely hear what the person was saying and he tried his best to concentrate but no avail.
" Get the nurse," Videl said calmly as she held Gohan close. " He's very sick and he needs medical attention right now. I'll watch him while you get the nurse." Videl looked at Gohan and smiled. " You sick old fool."
****
Videl sat beside Gohan ignoring the nurse's plea to go back to class. Gohan was unconscious and was running a high fever. Videl wanted to make sure that he was okay and did not want to leave his side for nothing. A good sleep was all he really needed since he hasn't been sleeping lately. She remembered Gohan saying to her that he kept on having weird dreams and waking up as if it was a nightmare. What was weird, he had said once, that the dreams were made from Syrus's past and his.
Videl looked up at the clock. She had called Gohan's house about a half an hour ago and she knew that Chi-Chi should be around sooner or later. Videl held Gohan's hand hoping that maybe he'll wake up. He was in a deep sleep and Videl only hoped that he wasn't in a coma. Videl only watched Gohan sleep peacefully and waited for Chi-Chi and Goku to come. Maybe they dropped Goten off at Trunks's house before they came here.
School was done by now and Videl did not know where Gohan's parents were. She called them but got no answer from them and just got the answer machine. She began to worry and hoped that they were okay. Videl felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Miss Hino smiling down at her.
" I'm sorry Videl," she said with a warm smile. " But I'm afraid that you will have to leave. Your father called and wants you home. I told him what you were doing but he said that he needed you home. I'll keep an eye on him for you."
" But I can't leave him," Videl said. " His parents are not here yet and they need to know that-"
" Don't worry Videl. Gohan's parents are on there way. They said that something happened along the way and they will be a little late. Now please Videl go home. Gohan will be fine."
Videl looked at Gohan and slowly got up.
" If he wakes up, tell him that I was here and that I was worried."
" Of course Videl," Miss Hino said sitting in Videl's chair. Videl gave a small thanks and headed out the door. Miss Hino watched her leave and a smirk plastered on her face. "My little prince is sleeping like a baby. Your crystal needed the energy but you had none since I worked it out of you. I can easily destroy you now and steal the crystal around your neck. I can use it."
Miss Hino soon turned into the evil Hino, the leader of the Ohgiyu's. She hovered her staff above Gohan and laughed to herself.
" I know better," she whispered. " Better to get the job done now than later. Just enjoy the darkness young prince, and tell your mother that I said hi."
****
Vegeta stopped in his mid training as he felt a dark power arise. He shut his eyes to get a better feel and realized that it was coming from the west, from Orange Star high School.
' That brat goes to that school,' Vegeta thought as he opened his eyes. ' He should be home by now but that's his energy weakening. Where's Kakkorot?'
****
" Mph," Goku was tied up along with Chi-Chi and Goten. Some sort of rope was wrapped around them and even with super saiyan level 3, Goku could not break free. He raised his power level to the highest but he couldn't even feel his power. He knew Gohan was in trouble but being tied up wasn't helping. He couldn't break free and he really had to pee.
****
Hino only laughed as the crystal around Gohan's neck soon turned into a dark color. Her plan was working and with his family tied up, no one could save him. She even distracted the Namck by putting a ki barrier around him so he couldn't feel Gohan's energy being sucked away. It was perfect.
All seemed to perfect but she forgot another prince on the planet. Without any warning, she felt a hit on her face and fell back. She quickly stood up and saw Vegeta standing on front of Gohan. She only growled and disappeared in the air. Vegeta looked over at Gohan and noticed the crystal was no longer dark but back to its regular color. He also noticed that Gohan's energy was below normal.
Vegeta picked up the saiyan and blasted a hole in the wall. He looked once again at Gohan's unconscious body and rolled his eyes.
" If I was the prince then that Hino would be dead by now."
" AFTERNOON," Gohan cried looking at the time. " Oh man! School's been done two hours ago and Mom is going to kill me. I better think of a good excuse before I get home besides I found myself in the middle of a place I don't know. Well, Dad's ki is at home so I just follow where his ki is."
