Chapter Thirteen: Mama's Here
-
Chichi bit her lip. She knew something was wrong and she didn't understand why the Z-gang was trying to keep it from her. She knows when her sons or husband is missing and at this current moment and time it was her oldest son who was gone. Did they not think that she would notice that her son didn't come down for meals? That she hadn't seen him for nearly a week? That his class was gone for the exact same time?
She mumbled under her breath, walking in the halls of the castle, thinking of what idiots they all were when she passed a portrait that she thought was destroyed. She blinked up at it and studied it carefully.
"Mama?" She whispered. She shook her head at that. There wasn't supposed to be any pictures of her mother in the castle - they were all destroyed by her father before the first castle itself was even destroyed.
She touched the painting lightly and couldn't repress the smile that started to grow on her face. She only had a few memories of her mother but they were all good.
Maybe…that's why I know not to-to panic about my boys… She thought to herself. I know this place, it's where I grew up… She smiled grimly. I am this place… She closed her eyes and did something that she didn't do for years, something she didn't do since she was five years old.
She slid to the ground, feeling the tiles of the floor under her palm. She took in deep breaths and started to concentrate on the feeling that was coming from the floor.
Images started to come into her head and Chichi bit her lip to keep quiet. The pain hurt her head so much, she wondered how she did this at all when she was younger.
Pictures seemed to fly by her face and she had no control over them. Only one 'picture', one face stayed the same, just floating in her mind's eye. Her eyes widened as she brought her hand to her mouth.
Gohan, what have you gotten yourself into?
-
Gohan laid under a tree like many of his other classmates. It was night and they were all getting ready to go to sleep. Baba didn't need much room, living by herself, so there wasn't any room except the one that Videl got, but she insisted on staying outside like the rest of them.
Speak of the devil… Gohan thought to himself silently as Videl came and sat down by him.
"So…"
"So…"
"So…"
"How are your drawing skills coming?"
"S- what?"
"Your drawing skills. Remember the picture you showed me? Saying that you couldn't draw that good for the life of you? How's it going?" Videl blinked a few times but reached into the bag that was sitting in her lap. She handed Gohan two sheets of paper.
"I did those in the morning. And when I say morning, I mean morning. I woke up when this one was half finished thou-" Gohan looked at her confused.
"You woke up when it was half finished." Videl nodded her head and leaned closer to him.
"This is going to sound insane, I know, but I um…was doing it in…in my sleep." Gohan blinked at her again.
"In your sleep?" She nodded. "That's…strange…" Videl glared at him.
"That's strange? That's all you have to say, is that it's strange? Gah!" She started to get up but Gohan grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down.
"Calm down Videl, man… I just meant 'strange' as in the actual dictionary term, not slang!" Videl looked at him to make sure he wasn't joking but eventually she shrugged and sat down beside him.
"So… Do you know when the tournament is taking place?" Gohan looked at her.
"Why?"
"I'm gonna be one of the fighters and I don't even know when it is!"
"So why'd you ask me?"
"Because I figured you'd know. You don't?"
"Nah, Baba's probably gonna wait for some mystical night or something…" Videl looked at him strangely.
"How do you know all this?"
Gohan blushed lightly and looked to the dirt.
"I uh…don't really know. I know Baba's a friend of the family but I never actually met her myself…until now, of course." Videl was about to say something along the lines of 'Oh.' When another question popped into her head.
"Why do you keep talking in past tense?" Gohan blinked and looked back at her.
"Wha-"
"And Baba said that her brother was the world champ, not my dad…SON GOHAN WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" Gohan flinched and brought his hands to his ears to hopefully make some of the ringing stop.
"I uh…don't know what you mean." Videl glared at him and he bit his lip again before answering. "Videl, if I answer your question you're going to think I'm nuts."
"What if I already think your nuts?"
"Viiiiiiiiiidel…"
"Oh, keep going."
"okay…" He was silent for a moment and than started up again. "I don't exactly know what to tell you, because it doesn't exactly make sense to me yet. I'm worried that if I start saying what I think it is I'll never be able to find a way back…"
"A way back to where Gohan?"
"Home - where else?" The two of them sat in silence a little longer. After about half an hour of silence Gohan felt a slight weight on his shoulder and looked to see Videl leaning on him. He was surprised for a moment but shrugged it off before leaning his head on top of hers, ready to go to sleep for the night.
-
The next morning came quickly and Videl was the first to wake up. She didn't have that good of sleep since…ever! She opened her eyes groggily, though not really wanting to, to see what it was that gave her that good of a sleep.
She felt a soft intake of breath and then felt it stir her hair a little when whatever it was she was laying on exhaled. She felt the arm on her waist tighten a little and she was able to figure out the person was Gohan by his hair. She yawned and snuggled into his chest again.
Gohan…nice… her eyes snapped open. GOHAN?!
"WHAT THE HELL?!"

A/N: I'm not doing very good at writing at the moment but I hope this was okay. I know my fic is starting to turn more to the uh…not so humorous side but I'm trying to build it back up. I better get going, later guys!
