Ok, short chappie! Sorry about that, but I have a midterm tomorrow and I kinda gotta cram for it, but I also really wanted to update tonight! I've gotten like, thirteen reviews so far! That's a record for me for one day! I love you all!
As promised in my summary, I will explain the title of this story. In Japanese, Gohan means "Fried Rice". Hades is another word for Hell, which I didn't think I could use in a title. So Fried Rice's Hades translates to Gohan's Hell, which basically is what this story is.
Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ. Wish I did though. It would make my life a lot easier.
Chapter 4: Interview
The next day, Friday, Gohan woke up extra early. Not that he particularly wanted to, but his mind was full and he couldn't sleep. What were these feelings he was having towards Videl? Certainly he didn't…like her like her did he? Like her like a girlfriend like Erasa and Sharpner liked each other?
Gohan put his hand on his forehead, having given himself a headache from too many 'likes'. Gohan, scholar though he is, didn't enjoy thinking too early in the morning. When his alarm clock finally went off, Gohan actually got out of bed. It would be the first time all week he would get to school on time.
Gohan meandered into the kitchen, where Chichi and Goten were already up. Goku had developed a fondness for sleeping in (which was for him, 6:30) so he wasn't present yet. Chichi turned around and saw Gohan sitting at the table and cocked her eyebrows at him.
"Why are you up so early, Gohan?" Chichi asked him. Gohan looked at her, confused.
"Don't I have to go to school today?" he replied.
"No sweetie. I thought you knew. You have today off as a Teacher Work Day." Chichi informed him.
"Huh. I'm going back to bed." Gohan went back up to his room and actually managed to fall asleep for a good three hours. However, Goten finally got bored and woke him up. Gohan then got to spend the entire day training with his dad and little brother. It was heaven on earth.
Later that night, Gohan decided to call and try to set up an appointment with Hercule. Hercule of course, wasn't home, but the butler told Gohan to head over at about 10:00 the next morning because Hercule was usually up and around by then. Goku walked in just as Gohan hung up the phone.
"Who was that, son?" Goku asked.
"Oh, I called Hercule and set up an appointment to interview him." Gohan answered.
Goku laughed. "That should be fun, listening to him tell you how he beat Cell."
"Yeah, I'm aware. It'll be great."
*~*~*~*~*~
The next morning Gohan rang the doorbell of the Satan's mansion. It was a few minutes before ten and he still wasn't looking forwards to this interview. First I have to interview this baka, and then I have to go spar with Vegeta until Erasa leaves! What an exciting day I have planned! Gohan thought sourly to himself.
The door opened to reveal an older lady, maybe about fifty. "Oh, you must be Gohan! Videl talks about you all the time. And Mr. Hercule is expecting you. Come in, come in." the woman scurried off and Gohan followed.
"Mr. Hercule is training so you'll have to interview him in the gym." The maid explained. Gohan looked around as he walked through the Satan mansion. Although not nearly as big as Capsule Corp, it was just as posh. And covered in Hercule Satan memorabilia. Including a life sized painting at the top of the stairs. Gohan's eyebrow twitched. As they walked back to the gym, Gohan realized that Hercule would probably expect him to work out too. At least I have a gi with me.
Right before he walked into Satan's pit, a thought hit him. Videl talks about me all the time? Gohan wondered in his head. But he didn't really have time to ponder too much, as he was confronted the one and only afroed dude in all of Japan, Hercule Satan himself.
"Hey, you must be the kid from the school! Gosun, isn't it? You're awfully scrawny, kid! But I can bulk you up. I am Hercule after all, the guy that beat Cell." Hercule boomed.
Gohan blinked. Oh, today was gonna be loads of fun. "Actually sir, my name is Gohan . And I just came over to ask you a few questions about yourself."
"Well, Gosun, if you want to interview me you'll have to do so while exercising. Go change and come back." Hercule commanded, lifting a 100 lb barbell above his head.
Gohan was really glad he didn't have to use one of Hercule's gi's. He dug down to the bottom of his bag and pulled out the capsule that held a gi. Quickly changing, Gohan headed back out.
Hercule seemed a little surprised at the muscles Gohan bore. (A/N: Gohan….muscles….yummy…) But he quickly hid it behind his normal boasting. "Well, Gosun, we'll have you built up soon."
Right… Gohan headed over to the free weights and started curling 80. Now, Gohan didn't notice this at all but Hercule sweatdropped at the sight.
"Well, kid, maybe we should get on with the interview." Hercule stuttered, suddenly wanting this kid out of his house as soon as possible.
Gohan shrugged and pulled a notebook out of his bag. "OK, first question. What is your full name?"
"Hercule Melvin Satan." Gohan dutifully wrote this down, laughing internally about Hercule's ridiculous middle name.(A/N: not that Hercule's name isn't ridiculous in the first place. I just felt like adding on.
"OK, do you have any family?"
"Just my darling sweetpea, Videl." Gohan wrote this down as well.
Now for the question Gohan had been dreading. "What have you contributed to the community?" Gohan asked, not wanting to listen to the answer.
"What have I contributed to the community? Why, I beat Cell who wanted to destroy the entire world." Hercule then launched into the complete story of how he beat Cell. (A/N: I didn't feel like getting into it, cause I am too lazy. Basically, Hercule tells Gohan the story like from the World Tournament at the beginning of the Buu Saga. Geez, I don't like Hercule!) Gohan just sat there, listening and not believing anyone could be so dumb as too actually believe this stuff. Once Hercule had finished, Gohan packed all of his stuff away.
"Thank you for your time, Mr. Satan. It's been a pleasure." Gohan, ever so polite, said and walked out of the gym, not even bothering to change. He was going over to Capsule Corp. right now anyway.
Videl was walking down the stairs at the exact moment Gohan walked by the foot of the stairs. She was about to say something when she noticed his rather showy attire. I didn't know Gohan had so many muscles…he looks good in that gi… Videl widened her eyes at her thoughts? What was happening to her? She decided she wanted to find more out about Gohan, and soon. With a devious little smile on her face, Videl walked over to the phone and dialed…
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH, does this count as an evil cliffhanger? I'm not sure, cause most of you can prolly figure out who Videl is calling! But if it is an evil cliffhanger, I'm so proud of myself cause it's the first one I've ever done!
