Chapter : 9
********************
Piccolo watched as his former pupil walked through the corridor to reach him. It did not take the twice fused namekian three seconds to see Goten being held gently by Hikaru Shidou, and Hikaru being held gently by his surrogate son. While he had thought that Gohan would probably choose her, he did not think that it would be so soon. After all, it had taken the other two sayains he had known years to figure it out, and one of them thought it was food.
In short he was rather proud that his pupil was able to find another link to happiness in the dark abyss that had become his life. He did after all, deserve it, he had saved the world from both Cell, the evil android designed by Dr. Gero, and Bojack, just another bad guy after power and death. Though lesser known, everyone still hated him when he had saved their asses from that fire. One would only try to stop before they gave in and snorted at the z-gangs' selfish acts.
He saw Gohan stop n front of him and nod curtly, while giving him a small smile which spoke books upon shelves upon wall to the namekian former guardian and evil tyrant, and not to forget part of the namekian warrior who had stalled Frieza.Piccolo silently smiled and nodded, just as his son had done not too long ago.
/ Dende?/ Piccolo spoke in his mind, though it still retained the usual gruffness which could never leave him.
/ Yes Piccolo? Is something the matter?/ Dende telepathically communicated back to the elder namek. While Dende knew that he should be more formal with the one who fused with the former guardian, he had known him for nearly eight years now. So in a way, formalities just became a dreadful burden on the both of them.
/ Nothing is the matter kid. Is the room right by the hyperbolic time chamber clean and prepared for Miss Shidou? Gohan has just arrived from her home and seems to need a room for her./ Piccolo answered back, almost cracking a smirk at the young guardian of the earth and his worry.
/ Of course, I have already gotten Popo to take care of all of the arrangements./ Dende said in his mind while using his Kami powers to get rid of a plague and stop an earthquake from doing too much damage.
/ Thank you Dende./ Piccolo cut the link that he was using for his conversation. He got out of his daze and looked Gohan in the eyes.
" Let's go kid." He said walking toward the corridor which led to the room of spirit and time, he knew that Gohan was following him so he didn't need to say anymore. Though, he was the boy's father in a way , so why not have some fun? He stopped just as they had reached the room and turned around.
" I see that you're comfortable." Piccolo said motioned toward the two in his arms. He was not suprised that the boy did not blush, but he was suprised with his surrogate son's reply.
Gohan looked at his father and didn't even bother to fight the smirk that came onto his face. " As a matter of fact, I am more comfortable than I have been in years." He saw the suprise and added, wven though he knew Piccolo thought it as well, "I know you don't expect me to blush, but tell Dende that I have no shame and I don't deny it."
After Gohan said this he walked into the dark room and saw two beds on the left. He set the two sleeping figures onto the first bed softly and covered them with a blanket. Afterwards he walked to the other bed and slept peacefully, well, tried to, unaware that one of the figures had woken. In fact, the only people on the lookout that knew of the figure's awakedness was the person themself.
********************
Hikaru upon the silk bed holding Goten caringly, while subconciously running her hands through his hair in a soothing fashion for both herself and Goten. One could see this by the way that he smiled even more, which made Hikaru smile, she really liked this kid, and he looks so peaceful. She knew it would be awhile before she would sleep again. She did, after all, have quite a few things on her mind.
Did, did he mean that, she thought, did he really mean what I think he meant? Why does that idea make me happy? I feel kind of warm when I think that way, why? Am I going to get any sleep with all of thes questions plaguing my mind? Why am I asking myself questions? She had no idea that she had said the last part out loud. Though she suspected when she heard a soothingly gruff voice. Though the voice was softened when directed toward her.
Gohan had heard her last question and decided to answer her, " Maybe you just want somone to give you the answers. It is not uncommon to want to know about things that confuse you." Gohan said this while rolling around to a position in which he could face her and make eye contact. He saw in her eyes that she was embarassed and decided to help her again. " No need to be abashed, I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable." He said this with such sincerity that she really did stop blushing and looked him in the eyes, and suprised at what she saw.
She had seen love, not a brotherly kind of love that she often recieved. Not a friendly love, like her friends Umi and Fuu had often given her, no, this was something far more deep. And with such magnitude she thought that an earhtquake had nothing on it. Suprisingly to her, she did not hate it, she did not feel the urge to let him down easy, or to even just lead him on. No, she wanted it, and, she realized, she felt the same way, and wanted to return the gaze. So she did.
He saw it, how could he not, he did, after all, study her in a caring sort of way, as if he wanted to make sure she was real and not some figment of his imagination. He knew she meant to give it as well, so he nodded and got out of his bed. He could tell she was slightly confused, although it was in her ki pattern, he had been able to sense her emotions since she had visited him while he was resting with Goten that afternoon.
He walked to the side of the bed that she was not facing and got into it. He shifted his position so that he was right behind her and facing the same direction as well. They were both on their left side as well. He wrapped his left arm around her stomach, and his right arm lay over her waist and over Goten as well. He then whispered in her right ear, "Sweet dreams, Hikaru." He felt her relax at his touch and slowly fall asleep.
" If only I would live long enough to enjoy this to its potential." Gohan said to himself, knowing he would not live much longer, even though he thought it might not happen, his gut feelings never lied. He gave a sigh and slightly tightened his grip on his family, hoping against hope that he wouldn't have to leave the warmth that they gave his heart. And then he fell into the most peaceful rest he had felt in nearly eight years.
********************
Buu gave a sigh as he found out that his strongest dragon he had ever created had lost so easily to a strong ki weilder he had somehow not noticed. He felt humiliated that his stongest fighter just vanished from existance so frightfully fast.
" I will not lose!" He screamed inside his chambers. He then created two beings that looked like the dragons, but human sized, one was azure all over with emerald eyes. And the other golden, with red eyes. He faced the azure one and said, '' Infinity, you are to enter the tournament along with myself," he turned to the golden one and spoke again," Kaiser, you are to mask your ki and hide in the shadows.
One who saw them would see the gold sacales turn dull and then seem to absorb light as it turned into a darkl brown. Even Buu had a hard time seeing it in the bright room, " Go and train with each other, I will heal you before the tournament."
Soon I will have this planet cowering at my feet, thought Buu, soon.
********************
All of the z-gang were currently in Capsule Corporation, their official meeting place, also there were the two women Chi Chi and Bulma. Bulma, like the rest of the people gathered in her home, greatly hated Gohan and wished that she had created a strong enough gun to hurt hium so that she could have caused him as much pain as the rest had. She lead a life full of regrets, but this was her greatest one.
" So, what are we going to do?" Asked Tien, hopeing to hell they had a way to destroy an even stronger Gohan. After all, the whole z-gang had stopped training, with the exception of Vegeta, so that they could lead normal lives.
" What can we do, Gohan has obviously become stronger than all of us put together, even since Vegeta reached the second level, you all sensed how easily he destroyed that dragon of Buu's yesterday without even turning into a super sayain!" This was told to everyone by the cowardly monk Krillen. Though he had a point, and everyone nodded their heads at him, even Vegeta.
Yamcha decide on something," Hey why don't we all enter the tournament? After all, he won't be able to kill us or else he will be disqualified. At least that way we will live longer!" The whole z-gang nodded their heads but stopped when they heard Chi Chi talking.
" What about my baby!? Who's going to help Goten? Oh no! My baby is being tortured and I can't do anything about it.!" Everyone sweatdropped at her crazy yelling and ignored her as they prepared for the tournament tomorrow.
********************
Goten woke up and saw an arm draped over him and Hikaru, he looked over to see that it belonged to his brother and father all in one. He saw the smile on Hikaru's face and another content smile on his nii-chan's face.
I never saw him so tranquil, Goten thought to himself, then he saw the other arm around Hikaru, oh I get it now. He huddled into their warmth and fell back to sleep. Even in his sleep there was a knowing smirk on his face that seemed to say that he knew something noone else knew, and planned to keep it that way.
********************
AN : I finally got some romance in! Took me long enough. I would like to thank all of my reviewers and Outkast sayain for telling me that Hollow existance isn't here anymore, though I would like to contact the author or a site that has it if possible. you no longer have to look for the story. However I would like for all of you who have played Breath of Fire 3 to read and REVIEW a story called, "Retribution" It is angst and suspense after Ryu is turned into an adult. It starts as Garr is hunting him. Please the author is about to stop it for a while due to lack of reviews. If I forgot anything forgive me. Thanks
