Chapter : 10
********************
Trunks trained strenuosly under his father, though not knowing the reason why, he had always had to train by himself with noone to keep him company. And while company was usually welcome, even with the training sessions with his tousan, Vegeta, which were quite a rarity. Although right now he was wishing that his father was training alone, since he was going rather rough today, as if something was irking him to no possible end. He had decided against complaing, having known about Vegeat's 'remedies' for pain, more pain, for quite a while now.
The young crown prince finally decided that he was going to ask his father what was wrong with him, and why he wasn't taking it out on some pitiful human, as he had so graciously named the majority of the dominant race on this planet. Though if it disturbed his father he was more than prepared to power up and run like a bat out of hell, only if needed of course.
" Tousan," Trunks started carefully, not knowing exactly how he was going to spit this out of his mouth,"How, . . why are you going so hard today? Is something going to happen or did mom make you stay on the couch again? Why does being on the couch annoy you so much? After all it is comfortable." Trunks, however, sometimes had lapses of ADD and went off on talking frenzies, if not stopped. And this time he was stopped by a fist planting itself firmly into his stomach.
" You will learn in due time Trunks, in due time." Was all that Vegeta said before kicking his son and only heir out of the gravity room and continued his brutal training by himself. Leaving Trunks to wonder what he did wrong.
" I only asked why he doesn't like the couch." Trunks said to himself in a rather confused manner. Before running of to continue his video game he had put on pause an hour ago.
********************
Hikaru woke up alone and she felt, for some reason or another, frightfully scared that the two demi-sayains were not with her. She sent out her ki-sensing ability and found out that they were outside, and that Goten's ki was a lot stronger than it was the day before. Though this knowledge did little to ease the insecurity that she knew was building within her.
She got out of the bed and noted her clean clothes, which were black baggy pants and a loose red shirt, which had the words 'I don't suffer from insanity . . . I enjoy every minute of it'. She went into a fit of innocent giggles at how creative Gohan could be when he really wanted to be, she also realized he was one of the few people who would add that detail onto a magical shirt. She also noted that the red matched her hair.
Hikaru walked through the corridor that led to the outside summit, where she knew that Goten and Gohan Daimo were currently training in some form or another. She passed the hyperbolic time chamber, though she had no idea what it was so it had little to no relevance to the story now does it? Hikaru Shidou then walked through the door that lead to the outside summit and saw the two half - humans.
She watched as Goten slowly levitated and finally shot up several feet, and Goten would hav; shoved it in Trunks's face had his mother let him near Vegeta's family, thus keeping him from knowing who the little bastard was. He started to get the hang of it and commenced floating around, though not at all fast.
" Gohan what if I fall when I'm flying?" Goten asked his older brother, hoping for some sort of comfort and reassurance. He found it fortunately. Gohan looked up and smirked fondly.
" I will never let you get hurt, and I will always protect you. " Gohan paused to let his words sink in before he started again. "Also, you will most likely not fall, at least, not after we finish your training." Gohan said gazing into the eyes that show full admiration and renewed confidence. Gohan smirked again to himself, it was really fun to give his brother the skills that he himself possessed, it was in a way giving him that much more of a degree of assurance his brother would not be helpless after he was gone and dead.
Gohan Daimo looked in the direction of his newest light in his life, the one which made his darkness bearable, Hikaru. She still amazed him with her innocence and personality. Yet right now that dodn't matter, as her dark red eyes, which were almost cromson, met his black eyes, still lost and somewhat chilling. Though his eyes were filled withmore warmth the longer he stared at her eyes, which were possibly one of her greatest features.
" Hi Gohan! Hi Goten-chan!" She said happily, breaking what little tension could have possibly formed, which, as one should know by now, is one of her greatest talents. "What are you guys doing today?" She finished up looking at the slightly levitating Goten.
'' Gohan-chan is teaching me flying and ki blasts!" Goten said enthusiastically, as he shot upwards. "See, watch what he taught me. "At this, Goten flew around more confidently now that he had gotten the hang of it and yelled out Piccolo and Gohan's signature move, " Masenko-ha!!" He shot out a greenish-yellow beam out of his hands, going almost faster than Hikaru could see. It was about to hit the lookout before Dende came out and swatted it away, this time much faster than Hikaru could see.
" Wow Dende," Gohan said somewhat startled that the healer was so powerful now. "I am very impressed, have you been training? Last time we met you weren't even able to fly without getting tired." While his voice was still gruff one could easily see through the mask, weel, at least if one were currently residing on the lookout.
" Of course Gohan, I am the god of the earth," Dende saw a way to make Gohan laugh, and took it,"Much like Son Goku is the scum of the earth." Dende chuckled at this while Gohan stifled a chuckle at this, making it come out as a snort.
" Too true Dende, too true." Gohan Daimo said as he looked back toward Hikaru, as he was studying her he realized that he had forgotten something. "Dende, where did Goten's ki blast go?" This drew a shrug from Dende as he went to stop another plague.
********************
Yamcha had just bought a new car and was currently driving around. He had spent enough money on this baby than he did on food when Gohan, Goku and Vegeta were over. Though since Gohan 'killed' Goku, only Vegeta ever came over, and even that was rare, since it only happened when Bulma 'asked' him to . Yamcha would be going without food for a month because of how much it cost.
However, the poor idiot didn't even see the ki blast coming untill it had destroyed his car and he was in a bloody sprawled position. All the money he had saved and then some was gone. And all he could say was . . .
" What did I do to deserve this?"
********************
" Goten," Gohan started getting the attention of the air-borne child, "how would you like to take a break?" This made the boy so happy that he could now spend some more quality time with his brother. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he forgot to concentrate on flying, and well, fell from his sixty foot height. When he noticed he yelled.
" Gohan!! Help me please!" He thought that he was going to hit the stone ground of the lookout summit, when, about twelve feet from the ground his brother jumped and caught him. Recalling the short conversation that they had had earlier Goten blushed because of his ignorance. Like his brother had said . . .
" I will always protect you" Gohan said, letting Goten down onto the ground. "Now if Hikaru wants to join us, I believe that we will be going into the city for a break." He looked at Hikaru for assurance, and also if she really wanted to go. Her eyes of course, told him that she agreed. "Well then, Goten, Hikaru, where do you two want to go to?" The two mentioned looked at each other and grinned.
" The carnival!" They both yelled in unison, and Gohan Daimo couldn't help but smile genuinely at his 'family'. How could he ever deny his lights their desires? How could anyone deny them? It's impossible, Gohan told himself, it just isn't possible, at least not for me.
********************
After they had landed at the entrance to the carnival, Gohan spotted some people he would like to kill, and smirked ever so evily. There was Bulma, in all her ever-youthfulness, Chi Chi, Vegeta, Tien, Krillen, and a slightly burnt and downcast Yamcha, not to forget a certain son of a saiyan prince, Trunks Briefs. Gohan Daimo noticed that they were signing up for the World Martial Arts Tournament. They all seemed so happy and joyful, with the exception of an annoyed Chi Chi. He would ruin their little happiness. He planned to fear into their hearts and sign up for the tournament as well, if not ask Trunks to spend some time with him, Goten, an Hikaru.
" Goten, Hikaru, if you would please, go in without me, I have some business to take care of and I don't want to keep you from your fun." Seeing their confused looks he merely said in a lighter, more gentle vocal quality, or tone if you please, "Really, I just saw the sign-up place for the tournament that's coming up soon. Besides, it shouldn't take me more than a few minutes." He saw their nods of consent, and, after they had entered, he walked over to the sign-up booth. He watched in amusement as all of them started to turn their heads to him in a very frightful manner. They were about to leave when he spoke to them.
" Oh come on, I know that all of you want to catch up and chat. After all, why else would you be avoiding me?" He said condescendingly, along with a glare that nearly made Vegeta royally piss his pants. He turned to the man who was apparently writing down all of the entries, "Put the name Daimo, Gohan in the adult division." He waited as the man wrote it down.
" Why are you here?" Bulma said fearfully though she was the only one able to speak. She could not sense the magnitude of power that Gohan held without powering up.
" And where is Goten you thug!" Chi Chi exclaimed, blind with fury at the man who had 'stolen' her son. She pulled out her frying pan and swung it at him. He caught her wrist and squeezed hard, drawing the slightest amount of blood, making her whimper like the worthless weakling that she is.
" Such a way to treat your own son, oh well, noone ever could make you have the slightest bit of manners." Gohan said toward her, then turned to Bulma. "I am here to sign up for the tournament and kill the monster Buu." After he said this all of the warriors and Bulma calmed down and gave a sigh of relief. He snorted at this and said a bit louder to make sure they all heard him,"I am not going to save you so get rid of that idea, I merely have to make sure that Goten doesn't live in fear of a more powerful being. I still plan to kill all of you, except for Trunks," he turned to the lavender haired boy and gave a smirk, "Would you like to come to the carnival with me and Goten? I'm sure that he would love to have you there to share the wealth of fun." He saw the boy's eyes light up and nod though his father and mother refused to let him go. Gohan could only shake his head at them. However, he had to give one last bit of advice, "Give him some fun and let him have friends, unless you want him to end up like me."
Gohan was about to walk away when he turned again and looked past the open mouthed and terrified gang to the sign up[ guy, "sign up Daimo, Goten for junior competetion." And then he left and went to join his family at having a good time. Oh the joy of having power over old friends.
" What did he just say about Goten!!!" Chi Chi yelled furiosly having to be held back from attacking Gohan and being killed by Yamcha and Krillen.
