Chapter : 6
********************
Chi-Chi had spent the past seven to eight years taking care of Goten and trying to make sure that Goten never heard of his brother, because then she would have to tell him about his brother. She never wanted her second son to be the like her first one, even though she had disowned Gohan so he wasn't really her son after all, she even made so that he didn't study. Which may have been a bad move on her part since Goten had been born with his father's thick-headedness. But, unlike Goku, Chi-Chi would often tell herself, he won't be killed by his elder brother. And, even though he might find out she wouldn't tell.
One thing that seemed to have amazed her, or rather, left her confused, was when she had seen her child looking through an old family album. She had only kept it because of the fact that it had several of the pictures with Goku, this occured because he couldn't figure out how to use it. Anyway, she had seen him looking at a picture of Gohan that she had forgotten to throw out, she was about to ask him if he knew who that person was, when she saw him whisper something she couldn't make out and put the picture back into the album and placed the old album back on a shelf.
She had hoped that he didn't know who that monster was, and that he merely assumed that it was his father when he was younger. Chi-Chi did, after all, talk non-stop about him when she got into one of her rants about him, this happened often, and she was unaware that he had no yearning to learn about his father, but rather, wanted to know about his brother. Though he would never voice his opinion in fear of being hit up-side the head with a frying pan. Chi-Chi would stop at no means to make sure that he knew as little as possible about his brother.
Chi-Chi thought that she had gotten her point across when, one day, he just stopped talking to her about his brother and often spent his time outside meditating. It had never occured to her that he might have found a valueable source of information about his brother, particularly the brother in question. She had, however, caught him talking to himself outside or in his room, she only thought that he had made up an imaginary friend like he had when he was younger, the last one had, "died due to leukemia contracted from a bad apple," as her second son Goten had put it oh so pleasantly before.
She had even heard him say, "brother," and, "Gohan," but shrugged it off as his pitiful attempts to meet his brother. She felt sorry for her son but for never meeting his brother but placed all the blame onto Gohan, as she usually did, for running away like a coward and leaving them here alone. It was quite pitiful that she had no idea that Goten had been talking to the 'evil' Gohan, and that Gohan did not really 'run away' but made a tactiful retreat. After all, he was coming back for his counter-attack, but she didn't know that.
*********************
As Hikaru arrived upon her home and dojo she noticed that it was rather quiet, so she felt for her brother's ki patterns and noticed that they were inside at the kitchen, or dining room rather, depending on how one might look at the situation. Upon having this information revealed to her she opened the door and headed past the living room and into the kitchen. She had taken her time and walked very silently so as not to disturb her elder brothers' conversation, but to still get to the kitchen so that she might be able to cook. She was about to open the door when she heard . . .
" I don't like him! " Miss Shidou heard her middle brother Masaru tell her other brothers. "Did you even see him!? He looked like some gangster and he carried a sword that did not look ornamental and he had scars all over his body!"
" But he saved Hikaru-chan and brought her home, he didn't try to kill her and he didn't take advantage of her." This came from the more calm, yet also eldest of the three brothers, and that wasn't all he had to say,"I didn't know that you judged people so quickly." He said this a bit scoldingly, but it was devoid of any condescendence.
" Yeah man, he saved Hikaru-chan and that's all it takes to be on my good side." This was her youngest elder brother and he seemed to have developed a liking toward Gohan Daimo. "And besides, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover as Hikaru-chan says" This was just one of the ways that Hikaru seemed to have affected them, hell, her innocence often affected people around her. She was an angel to those who both needed it or not.
Hikaru was suprised that her brother would have been so quick too judge another, but he always was the most protective of her. Once, he had even given a kid a bloody nose for just stealing one of her pencils, though she gave him a gentle lecture afterwards and apologized to the boy, they had become friends soon afterwards and both Masaru and the boy became friends as well.
But one shouldn't be so quick to judge Masaru either, if one knew what hardships he had gone through. When he was eight, Satoru was eleven, and Kakeru was six, Hikaru barely four, their father had left them. Kakeru and Hikaru were to young to really know or care what was happening and Satoru took it all in stride and took responsibility of the family into his hands. Their mother died later, when Hikaru was eight and Satoru was fifteen. Satoru got a job and provided for them, as did Kakeru and Masaru when they reached that age. Masaru took it the worst and often yelled in rage at his father whom sent them five dollar bills for their birthdays, at least when Hikaru wasn't near. Several times he even swore to himself that he would kill the man whom made Hikaru fatherless and their mother not so adept at living.
After Kakeru had told Masaru about not judging Gohan without getting to know him first, HIkaru made herself noticed by opening the door and giving them all a smile. "Hello Satoru-chan, Kakeru-chan, Masaru-chan!" She chirped to them in hopes of getting them into better moods, especially Masaru. Needless to say, she was in no way failing at her target mission of happiness.
"Hello Hikaru-chan," all of her protective brothers said in unison before Kakeru asked an important question . . . " So," he started, getting the whole family's attention,"What are you going to cook for dinner Hikaru?" This caused a comical sweat drop to occur on the other two brothers' faces, and one could see a bit of their annoyance in his trying to make that sound important.
********************
/Yeah, in fact I'm already right by the house / As soon as Goten heard these very rare words inside of his mind he raced out of his room as quickly as he could without breaking anything and ignored the suprised gasp that spewed from his mother's mouth as she watched him almost fly to the front door. Goten sensed his mother's confusion but found that seeing his brother up close was more important than explaining his haste to his mom.
As soon as he reached the door he stopped, so that he might catch his breath and straighten his attire, which consisted of green sweatpants and a sky blue shirt. As he self-proclaimed himself ready he opened the door and tackled his brother, or rather, tried to, as Gohan had caught him and was currently holding him in his arms. Goten was speechless at how cool he thought his brother was, he was caught off guard when he heard the ever familiar voice speak. Though this time it was much more clear. . .
One could see the happy glint in Gohan's eyes as well as the big smile he especially reserved for those closest, much like the one he had given Hikaru when she asked if he could go to dinner. "I take it that you are glad to see me." Gohan lightly laughed at how his brother started nodding his small head vigorously, causing his Goku-like hair to flop everywhere. Goten then hugged his brother as if he would never see him again.
" Yeah I have onii-chan, I am so happy I finally get to meet you upclose." Goten said, causing Gohan to shake his head slightly at how cliched it sounded. Then came the question that Goten had been pondering on, " Why are you here nii-chan?" He said this as he lifted his head off of Gohan's shoulder.
" Actually I came here to both destroy the Buu guy that's been threatening the earth lately, and see you as well. But don't worry, I plan on spending a lot of time with you first, and then more after," Gohan Daimo watched as his younger demi sayain brother's eyes brightened and he started making quick and profuse nods of his head. "Also," Gohan said stopping the round of nods," I was invited to dinner today and I was wondering if you would like to come."
"Of course!" Goten would have said more but he was quickly interupted by a shrill voice coming from the one person that he had forgotten.
"Of course not!" Came Chi-Chi's shrill shriek. She would not have her son conversing, let alone eat, with this monster! One could see a couple of veins pop up on her forehead if they looked past her veil of hair and make-up. Goten and Chi-Chi watched as Gohan merely scoffed at her and started floating while still carrying his younger brother.
"Listen, 'mom'," Gohan said in a very bored tone, " I would love to chat and catch up on old times as I know you want to," He smirked slightly at the buld in her forehead veins. "But my brother and I have a dinner party to attend and I would prefer not to be late." With this he shot into the air leaving an enraged and stunned Chi-Chi miles away and Goten laughing on his shoulder.
When they were almost at Hikaru's house, as it was six forty at the moment, Gohan stopped and reached into his bag of infinite senzus and broke one in half and ate one half. "Goten, I need you to eat this half okay? I know it will fill in part of your stomach so that you eat as much as a human, but a least then we won't eat them out of their house."
"Okay Gohan!" Goten said enthusiasticly since he had always wanted to taste what a senzu bean was like, as he was never allowed for his mother's fear of having her little baby start fighting like his father. And as Goten ate the bean he realized that it was kind of bitter and one could see the weird face that Goten made at the taste as well as the face that showed that his stomach felt over half-way full.
" Kind of awkward isn't it?" Gohan asked his brother as they landed in front of Miss Hikaru's family dojo. /I perfectly understand how you feel Goten./ The younger hybrid merely smiled at his big brother as he started to ring the doorbell. Now, Goten expected to see some buff fighter that had scars like Gohan did, so he was rather shocked at the pretty girl whom had opened the door.
"Hi Gohan, is that your guest, " Hikaru asked pointing at Goten, "He's cute!" This caused Goten to blush and look down, he had decided to just let his brother talk.
"Yes, he is.'' Gohan replied pretty smoothily.
"Well, come in. . . dinner is ready after all." Hikaru said cheerfully as she stepped aside and beckoned them into her home warmly.
