Disclamer:

DBZ? What's that? Well… I don't own it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

"OH MY GOD!" Videl said, rushing to his collapsed form.

Gohan did the same, looking to see if he was conscious.

"He's unconscious." Gohan said quietly, frowning.

Videl ran over to Mr. Hagberg.

"Mr. Hagberg! Come!" she led him to Sharpner.

Mr. Hagberg stared a bit, frowning.

"Videl and, uh… new kid bring him to the school nurse." He seemed to say this rather reluctantly.

Gohan nodded and Videl said "yeah.".

Videl bent down to pick Sharpner up, but Gohan did it before her.

She glared at him.

"You know I can do it, I'm not weak." She said, glaring.

"I know that, but what does it matter." Gohan said to her.

Videl looked away, not glaring anymore.

"It doesn't, but lets just get him to the nurse quickly." She muttered.

"Alright." Gohan replied.

They made their way to the nurse's office, Videl leading the way.

When they got there the nurse took a look at him and she announced "He's over exhausted, you came from gym? This comes from lack of sleep, and pushing your body to hard." She said.

Suddenly Sharpner awoke.

"Huh?" he said, looking around.

"Your in the infirmary, Sharpner." Gohan said.

"The best thing for him right now is to take him home and let him recover." The nurse continued.

"No…I'm fine, really." Sharpner said, sitting up.

"Is there anyone at your house?" the nurse asked him.

"No, my parents went on a business trip." Sharpner said, looking tired.

Suddenly there was a ringing coming from Videl's watch.

Videl groaned and pressed a button on it.

"Hello, chief?" she asked.

"Videl, Graham's jewel store is being robbed!"

"I'm on my way!" she said, determined.

"I'm sorry Sharpner, but I have to go, get better, ok?" she said, while leaving.

The nurse turned to Gohan.

"I'm sorry boy, I don't really know your name…" she said.

"It's Gohan." Gohan answered her.

"Gohan, could you bring Sharpner home? I'll sign a sheet that you can bring to the office that will allow you to." She finished.

"Sure." Gohan responded.

She gave him the note and he turned towards Sharpner.

"Can you walk?" He asked, uncertain.

Sharpner nodded and they walked to the office, giving the note to the secretary.

They walked out of the school, and Sharpner led him to '22nd street'.

"Okay, here's my street… you can just leave me here I can find my way to my house." Sharpner said.

"Alright, get well soon." Gohan said, seriously.

Sharpner grinned "Yea, yea I will."

Gohan turned to leave.

"And Gohan… thanks, even if you want to steal Videl you're and ok guy." Sharpner said.

"Um… thanks Sharpner, but are you sure you're feeling ok?" Gohan asked, concerned.

"KAMI! Gohan, I'm ok!" Sharpner glared at him.

Gohan walked away about 10 feet when he heard something, he turned around.

"Hey, kid. Watcha doing out of school?" A tall muscular guy, with black hair asked Sharpner.

Sharpner tried to walk past him, but another guy, with blond hair this time stopped him.

"You live around here? This is a rich neighborhood, how much you got?" he said, grinning.

"I… don't have anything on me." Sharpner said, panicked.

The dark haired man went up to him and wrenched him up by his collar, unknowing that Gohan was watching this scene with shock.

"Listen up, rich kid! We know you have money, so just give it up or… we introduce you to our fists." He said, snarling.

"I told you I don't have…"

The dark haired man punched him in the face, then put him on the ground and repeatedly slammed his head into the cement sidewalk, again, again and again…

Gohan snapped, this was torture!

'Just like Frieza.' He thought, enraged.

Gohan let out a yell and he was in super saiyan.

He flew at the unfortunate men and let out a devastating array of punches, his human side reminding his saiyan side that the punches should be weak enough for them to stay conscious.

Sharpner looked dazedly up and saw the gold fighter fighting the bullies.

He grinned, in spite of himself, at the newfound respect for the crime fighter, then the concussion kicked in and he went into unconsciousness.

The bullies, however tough looking when fighting to their advantage ran away when Gohan had attacked them.

He thought about going after them, but remembered Sharpner, he walked to the unconscious form, picked him up, and headed towards the hospital. When he got there, he changed out of his super saiyan mode and took Sharpner to get some help, the doctors took Sharpner and asked him to call the boy's family.

Gohan now took the phone, put some zeni in it and realized that he had no idea what Sharpner's number was.

'I've only known him for a day! How did I get myself into this?'

Gohan then thought of something, he dialed a number, doing the second best thing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

Kind of a cliffhanger. Sorry for no G/V so far, it's a work in progress, but on the lighter side I show you how Gohan becomes friends with Sharpner. I have BIG ideas for this fic, so don't give up on me!

OK, and as always Read and review! ~angelanimefan~
