Chapter 7- Love and Anger
June 1st 771 5:33am
As Gohan awoke the first thing that struck him was that he had been allowed to awaken naturally this morning, meaning that Goten was probably still asleep and his mother was not expecting him to attend school that day. A few seconds later he remembered exactly why that was. A single tear fell from his eye, the small bead of salty water hitting the bed and soaking into the dark blue martial. Quickly pushing away the unpleasant thoughts, Gohan stood, reminding himself that he owed it to his mother and younger sibling to be strong this day.
Looking over at the digital clock beside his bed he realized with a slight chuckle why no one else was up yet. The red digits read 5:34, almost and hour and a half before he needed to be up for school.
Realizing he was wide awake and would not get a meaningful amount of sleep before he needed to get up again he decided to get in some early morning training and meditation, hoping that by calming himself at this point he would be able to go through the rest of the day without losing himself in his anger.
Quickly showering, Gohan returned to his room and started to decide what to wear. After a minute of looking through his wardrobe he closed it and walked back to his bed, knowing exactly what he would wear this day. He drew a small; previously unopened box from under his bed, and after a moment of deliberation opened it, drawing out an almost exact replica of his father's Gi. The only noticeable difference was that rather than having his father symbol on the front, followed by the symbol of King Kai, the now deceased watcher of the North Segment, on its back, it instead had Gohan's own symbol on its front, and a much larger copy of his father symbol attached to its back.
Quickly changing into it before he changed him mind about the choice of clothing Gohan then proceeded to make his way outside, spending the next half hour slowly going through various katas, honing the skills he had built up from the age of 4. He then turned to meditation, trying to subdue the raging emotions inside him, calming himself and preparing himself for the many trials that this day would surely bring. After another half an hour Gohan removed himself from his trance, the early morning sun having now illuminated the rolling fields and forests that surrounded him remote home.
Decided that his mother would probably have a hard enough day without needing any extra work he returned to the house and quickly set about the monumental task of making food for 2 growing Demi-Sayjins
***
About 20 minuets later Chi-Chi awoke to the smell of cooking bacon and eggs. Her surprise doubled a second later as she realized that Gohan was the only one in the house who could be cooking. She quickly dressed and rushed down the stairs, almost feinting at the slight that greeted her. It took a few seconds before she registered fully the significance of what Gohan was wearing but when she did a small smile graced her face. She knew that the emotional scars would still run deeply, but at least now some of the seamed to be healing.
"Hi Mom" Greeted Gohan, knocking his mother out of her slight stupor
"Gohan, why you up this early? I though you would be in bed." Replied Chi- Chi a voice carrying a slightly surprised but quite joyous tone.
"Well I got to leave for school in 15 minuets and I didn't fancy skipping breakfast again." It took a few moments for Chi-Chi's brain to register exactly what had been said, and then a few more seconds as her brain comprehended the implications of the statement.
As all the information sank in Chi-Chi made her way quickly over to a nearby chair and sat down as she felt her legs become unsteady and threaten to give way.
"Gohan are you sure that's a good idea, You know how you are when you lose control, and imagine the devastation that would cause in the middle of a populated area."
"I know, but if I'm ever going to fully recover from this pain I'm going to need to try to live my life on this day, not hide from civilization because of what might happen." Seeing his mother nod her head in silent agreement Gohan rose form the table and then proceeded to lure his younger brother from the kitchen. As they entered the living room he turned to his younger brother and looked at him. He reminded him so much of his father that this was the first time Gohan had been able to look him in the eyes on the anniversary of there fathers death without braking down completely.
"You be good for mom Goten, ok."
"I will big brother."
"K see you later then." After returning to the kitchen and saying his good bys to his mother he ran out of the door and took off, rapidly making his way towards Orange Star High School. Gohan noticed that there had been a respite in the rain that usually plagued the world on that day. He silently thanked Dende and looked at the bright sun. Maybe, just maybe, he would be able to survive this day without loosing his temper.
***
Powering up as far as he could without going super Sayjin he sped forwards. The Gold Fighter would not be present to protect Saturn City this day, as Gohan knew he would probably lose all the control he had managed to gain through the morning's meditation if he transformed into Super Sayjin, and probably become the cities destroyer in the process.
As he came into land on the school roof he ran into an interesting problem as he noticed the teenage daughter of the man who had stolen the credit for his defeat of Cell sitting on the edge of the roof, looking in the direction from which he would usually approach the school building. Adapting to the new situation quickly he increasing his speed suddenly blurring out of view, and becoming temporally invisible to the untrained eye, hoping to make his way to the single door leading to the roof unnoticed
All this when out of the window when he got close enough to notice why she was on the roof. She was gently sobbing, legs dangled over the edge of the fifteen-story building, completely oblivious to the world around her. He felt a pang of guilt as he remember how unpleasant he had been to her the day before when she had questioned him about being upset, how he had all but attacked her when all she was doing was showing concern for his well being. Putting aside his own pain and grief he silently phased in behind her and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"You ok Videl?"
***
Videl sprang around as she heard a voice and felt the weight of a hand on her shoulder, ready to cause an immense amount of pain to whoever had caught her in this moment of weakness. However her body decided to rebel against her at that point and rather than throttling Gohan's face with a well placed punch she instead collapsed against him, sobbing uncontrollably.
Seeing that she was not going to be in any state to relate the cause of her distress for a while Gohan brought his arms lightly around her, supporting her comparatively small form against his own, as many had done for him in years past. After a few minutes Videl's sobbing lessened but she made no move to remove herself from his warm embrace, enjoying the comfort his arms offered.
Silently she dwelt on the thought that this was the first time for almost 7 years that she found herself being able to let down her emotional guards, not having to keep up the tough façade she wore to protect herself from the rigors of her everyday life. She was expected to be a hero, to be her father's daughter, and consequently was unable to be an average teenage girl, worrying about the state of her hair instead of worrying if the next bank robbery she stopped would be her last. Since her mothers death she had never had an opportunity to let down all the shields she had built around herself and let all the stress and pain she felt flow out, at least not until now.
Her moment of peace and tranquility was unceremoniously shattered as Sharpener walked onto the roof.
"Hey Nerd Boy get off my girl." As usual Sharpener spoke without thinking, completely forgetting the events of the previous day when Gohan had proven quite clearly that he was anything but a nerd.
Even armed with all the information about his character that she had gathered over the last few days, Gohan's response to Sharpener's command shocked Videl as much as it did the commands issuer. Gently removing his arms from around Videl, muttering a quiet sorry to her as he did so, he turned to face the blond jock, fixing his icy glare on Sharpener as he did so. As if in anticipation of the coming conflict the rain started its characteristic down pour, this time punctuated by feint claps of thunder.
A light but menacing growl escaped Gohan's lips as he drew himself up straight, standing almost 4 inches taller than the other boy. At was as he did this a blot of lighting flashed across the sky, illuminating the now darkened city. It was at that moment that Videl first noticed the Gi Gohan was wearing. As another clap of thunder struck she took a slight step back as a sharp realization hit her.
She realized just how calm Gohan seamed, even with the elements raging around him, and at that point she realized that for the first time in 3 weeks Gohan didn't look out of place. This was where he was at home, and for the first time in her life she felt the inkling that somehow even the power and savagery of nature could be dwarfed by a being of flesh and blood.
"Sharpener, in the few weeks I've been here I've lost count of the number of times Videl had forcibly removed part of your body from touching her yet some how you can still come to the conclusion that she is 'Your Girl', and that you have some god given right to her that overrides even her own wishes." Gohan's voice was deathly calm, and as he spoke his usually obsidian eyes flickered to a dark teal.
'Crap, I really hope he shuts up now, I don't think I can control myself any more, and if I lose it now there's no telling what damage I could cause to the city.' Gohan's mind raced, trying to calm down his Sayjin instincts, which were telling him to quite plainly kill the pathetic human standing in front of him. Any control Gohan had left however was instantly lost with Sharpeners next comment.
"Well at least I'm not the one coming into school dress up like a light show using fraud." Sharpener had no idea of what he had just done, nod there was little doubt even his minimal brain power would of told him to keep his mouth shut if he had know the affect those few words would have.
The storm above him suddenly began to rage even more heavily, lightning bolts started striking the ground below them. To any body watching the scene unfold, it would seam the people involved had gained the personal enmity of a god.
Someone who had personally angered the greatest of the gods would most likely be in a better position than Sharpener currently was. As he looked back at Gohan his glance was met by a look of pure unadulterated Rage. The pained scream that followed brought him back to his senses as the entire roof exploded in a ball of light. As Videl opened her eyes she almost fell over in shock and surprise.
Where Gohan, the naive passive school nerd had been standing mere second ago there now stood the imposing form of the city's resident super hero. The increases in muscles mass and the enlargement of the bone structure that accompanied it meant that Gohan now stood almost 8 inches taller than sharpener, his usually athletic build now dwarfed Sharpeners usually impressive build. As the Demi-Sayjin's icy glare settled on Sharpener the blond made one of the most intelligent decisions of his life and quickly made a run for it.
***
Videl watched awe struck as Gohan instantly ascended to the second level of Super Sayjin. 'So Gohan is the Gold Fighter' she thought, almost jumping for joy as she realized this. Her joy at making this discovery was almost instantaneously once again replaced with shock and fear as she felt the pure power radiating from Gohan's stationery figure, a black shadow in the raging aura that engulfed him. His aura rose to almost 20ft in the air and extended 5 foot around him in every direction, giving the school the appearance of a giant candle burning in the middle of the darkened city, the heavy cloud cover blotting out almost all of the natural light.
Even though Videl had no ability to sense ki, she could still feel the huge amounts of energy emanating from his body, the rage he was giving off almost tangible, causing her to struggle to draw breath. "Gohan Calm down" she said, her voice horse from her earlier crying and her inability to get a full breath of air into her lungs.
As Gohan herd the fear and trepidation in her voice all the rage vanished from his body being quickly replaced with a deep sorrow that he had hurt her. The raging aura quickly dimmed, and his expression eased form one of anger and hatred to a slightly hesitant and remorseful smile. He felt Tien's familiar ki stop halfway up the last flight of stairs that led to the roof and slowly return to the ground floor of the school, the elder fighter having felt the subtle change in Gohan's ki that meant the Demi- Sayjin had once again got full control over his emotions.
"I'm Sorry about that Videl," he whispered, his now soft voice a stark contrast to the cold tone he had taken with Sharpener a few short minutes ago.
" Sorry about what" she replied, holding back her tears and trying desperately to pull her own emotions back under control, resisting the urge to brake down into tears again.
" About acting like that, it just seams that whenever a friend of mine or someone I care about is threatened I loose control." He said quickly before adding " and I'm ashamed to say that the end result is often a lot more unpleasant than what just happened."
As he said this he moved quickly forward and embraced the now sobbing Videl. As he gently held her his thoughts returned to all those who had been on the receiving end of his lose of control, and how almost all of them now occupied a permanent placement in hell, in which he hoped they would spend the rest of eternity. A pained expression crossed his face as he remembered the fate of his uncle, and how different things could have been if his uncle had stood with his father on that day, rather than standing against him.
It was this pained expression that Videl saw after she had found herself unable to shed any more tears at that moment in time. 'Even when he is suffering he still manages to find the ability to comfort others around him, though what burdens he so much that on a day when most are rejoicing he is still suffering'
There was a uneasy silence between the two of them as Videl thought, Gohan not wanting to say any thing that night upset the girl further. Videl then broke the silence as her mind processed his earlier words and her usual inquisitive nature took over.
"What do you mean buy that?" She regretted the words the moment she spoke them, the careful and tactful question she had though over in her head having never appeared.
The look of pain in Gohan's eyes intensified as she asked him the question and he took a second to compose him self before he replied, his voice barely more than a whisper "That is a tale that I don't have the time to recite at this moment" He was quite for a second but then continued, his voice louder and less strained than before.
" Image the anger you feel when someone hurts a person you care for, and then increases it ten fold, and take into account that whenever that happens your strength and fortitude increase dramatically. Now think what you would try to do the person that caused you to feel that pain." As he finished he turned away and added so quietly that she could barely hear " And add to that the pain and guilt of your father dieing, knowing that you had the power to prevent it and your mother and brother now have to live without him. Then you can star to image what I was felling a few seconds ago, and start to comprehend just what I could do." With that Gohan turned away, dropping out of Super Sayjin and walking through the still open door leading down to the rest of the school.
Videl on the other hand stood there shocked. She didn't even notice the rain beginning to beat down on her face even harder. She thought over the lazy few words he had uttered. "Comprehend just what I could do" she whispered the words to herself, adding this to what he had said to her earlier, and what Tien had told her about Gohan's fighting abilities the day before. All of a sudden she understood the full extent of what he had meant by the consequences of anger being a lot more unpleasant that what had happened today, and she rushed towards the stairwell, hoping to confront his about her revelation before classes started.
