A Saiyan's Prison Ride:

Chapter 15: A Turning Point?

"Oh, is that you, Gohan? Fancy running into you again today!" Gohan stopped shortly after re-entering the dormitory section of Hachimitsu from the side-entrance connected to the main-building. His ears perking at the greeting he wasn't expecting to receive, as he turned his head down the hallway, unto the opposite of where his room would be in the building.

The familiar face and figure of that exceptionally pretty girl he'd run into right after his classes, Kate Takenomiya, was front and centre before him again. This time seemingly approaching him with a significantly more friendly-looking smile on her face, as she waved over at him whilst walking toward him. Her scarlet-orange hair was styled the same way it'd been a few hours ago when they'd first met, with those instantly recognizable pigtails done up in drilled curls, but unlike before, he noticed, the lively orangette wasn't garbed in her school uniform anymore.

Instead, she was actually garbed in something he very much recognized as well, right off the bat. A type of martial arts Gi that consisted of simple white trousers and jacket, the latter being partially opened around her collarbone, allowing for a tiny window to be seen into her pale cleavage. A black belt being worn around her slim waist to finish the ensemble, with no shoes or socks to cover her bare feet as she sauntered forward.

And she wasn't alone this time.

Flanked on either side of her were two girls Gohan hadn't seen before. The first, on her left, was a slim young girl a few inches taller than Kate, who unlike the latter, was still in her school uniform, with the small bumps of her A-cup breasts barely being noticeable through it. She had short, dark-blue hair done in a boy-cut, her sharp-looking eyes the same colour, but with her eyebrows above them shaved, and dark eyeliner applied around them. Her nose was also narrower below her high forehead and above her thin lips, framed by fair, but sharp cheekbones and a small chin. All of which added up to give her a more hawkish look to her, and her own brand of prettiness in Gohan's mind, as her eyes narrowed at him. A shinai – a bamboo sword – of all things, being held by her down at her side as they approached.

The other girl, on Kate's right, was a few inches shorter, and also still garbed in her uniform sans the tie and with her collar more open, giving a small glimpse into her budding B-cup cleavage. She was also slim, and quite beautiful in her own right, with dark-green hair tied up in twin buns over her head, with bangs swept to the left side of her features. A pair of vibrant, wideset emerald eyes peering curiously, but friendly at him, framed by her own fair, slightly more rounded cheek-bones, reasonably high forehead, small chin, and cute button-nose. Her limps more plump-looking than the more tomboyish girl opposite her. She also appeared to be holding a black book of sorts in one of her hands.

"Ah, hey there Kate-san." Gohan waved back politely, and in a friendly fashion himself, as the trio girls came to a stop within a few feet of him. A trademark Son grin soon gracing his features. "Fancy seeing you too. It looks like you just came back from Aikido training, if I'm not mistaken. These two your friends?"

"I guess you could say that." Kate grinned back, her face more flushed than when he'd seen her a few hours back, and a little sweatier at that. "This is Son Gohan, you two. The one I mentioned meeting earlier. You want me to introduce you to him, or would you prefer to do it yourselves?" She asked, planting her hands on her curvy hips while briefly glancing back at both her colleagues.

"Risa Bettou." The hawkish-looking girl on the right stepped forward first, confidently so, giving him a small smile of her own that fit remarkably well on her face, after giving him a once over. "Nice to meet you." She said, as she stuck her free hand for him to take. Something which Gohan was quick and happy to take. "If you're wondering about the shinai, by the way, I got used to carrying it around with me after I became a part of the Kendo club."

"Ah, I see. That's cool." Gohan replied earnestly, taking note of her strong grip, similar to how he'd done with Kate's. "I can tell you must be pretty good with it just from the way you carry yourself."

She grinned back a little wider with pride at that. "You bet I am. Never lost a spar with it yet."

"That'd be in kendo, right?" Gohan asked cheerfully. Remembering Future Trunks briefly, and recalling how he'd used a mix between that and Iaido in his sword-fighting.

"Yeah, that's right." The girl looked intrigued, as their hands pulled away. "You ever practised it?"

"No, not really, but I know someone who does. He's a natural, let me tell you." Gohan laughed good-naturedly, rubbing the back of his head bashfully. "I'm more into hand-to-hand myself, really." Not as much as his dad, but it still held a place in his heart.

"I guess that might explain how you knew that I'd just come back from Aikido." Kate spoke up with amusement, getting a light laugh out of Gohan. "Though I suppose it would've been a toss-up between that and Karate, since they do have identical Gi's, and you could've simply just guessed correctly."

"Nah, I was almost certain it was Aikido. The way you gripped my hand when we first met spoke of someone who was used to grappling, so as soon as I saw you in that Gi, that was the only thing that made sense in my head." Gohan responded back, taking Kate and her cohorts a bit by surprise with his answer.

"You could genuinely tell that just from shaking my hand?" The attractive orangette asked, now even more fascinated by the boy than she was before. It wasn't like that was some impossible feat to accomplish, but from what she'd been told, only highly skilled fighters with a tremendous amount of experience in multiple fields of martial arts were capable of doing so.

"More of an educated guess, really. I grew up around martial arts, you see." Gohan explained in simplistic terms, knowing this was accurate, even if nowhere close to the whole truth. This bit at least, was safe to say, and would lend an explanation for the girl. "My family and friends were really into all sorts of them, and I ended up getting taught a lot of what they knew as I was growing up, even if I personally was never the biggest fan of fighting back then." He still wasn't now, but he'd gained a much greater appreciation for it over the years. "In any case, I guess you could say that all that experience gave me some decent instincts as to whether or not someone I meet is a martial artist themselves."

Kate nodded. "I see." So, he is practiced in various martial arts, huh? Interesting. "And was Aikido one of them? Just as a matter of curiosity?"

"It was. Just not as much as more aggressive ones that involved punching and kicking." Gohan chuckled. "I highly doubt I'd know as much as you do though, given that it looks like you're a seventh-degree black belt in it. How long have you been doing it for, if I may ask?"

"Since I was twelve. A little over five years ago, just before my first day of middle-school, to be precise." She replied back while folding her arms beneath her bosom, not bothering to ask how he knew her exact rank, since with his supposed experience, he was likely able to tell the difference. Her smile becoming just a little bit smug. "I'd like to think I've done fairly well for myself in it."

"That'd be an understatement! You must be extremely talented and a hard-worker to reach that rank at so young an age. There's a lot of people out there who'd spend that same amount of time at Aikido before achieving even a first-degree black belt, meanwhile, you've achieved the seventh in the same amount of time! I can already tell you must be a really dedicated and disciplined person." Gohan chuckled good-naturedly, speaking honestly, even if whatever she'd done would pale in comparison to what he'd done in reality. "You'd definitely run circles around me if we were to spar in Aikido."

"Well… You're not wrong…" Kate found herself genuinely blushing a little, while preening from the unexpected, but most certainly not unwelcome praise. Earnest praise, at that, which wasn't tinged with the putrid aftertaste of playing second-fiddle to a certain someone. "I don't mean to brag, but I've always had the mental fortitude to see whatever I set my mind to through at one-hundred percent, and succeed in accomplishing what I desire to get done. Whether that be in the dojo, on the field, or in academics."

"I can tell." Gohan nodded with a pleasant smile, as he mounted his hands on his hips. "You seem to have that easy confidence about you of someone who's assured in their abilities, and the seventh-degree black belt you have is proof that it's not mere arrogance either. I'm sure your parents must be real proud of you, because I know I'd be if I were in their shoes."

"Eheh…" Kate's blush intensified just a little more, as one of her hands began to play with the tip of one of her hair's drill-curls, feeling further flattered by all the genuine compliments. "Well, aren't you quite the charmer. If I'd known you'd hit me with compliments like that, I'd have gone to befriend you sooner..."

Gohan shared a bit of a genial giggle with her at her humorous jest, while finding that he was already beginning to like the sound of her voice when in good spirits. Her soft, light laughter almost like honey to his ears, as they shared a small moment. One which both Risa and the other girl, who'd yet to introduce herself, looked on curiously at.

I can already see myself enjoying his company, if only for those sweet compliments of his. The orangette thought to herself, loving the feeling of her ego being stroked, as she recovered, turning towards the other girl opposite Risa expectantly. "Compliments aside though, there's still someone else here who requires an introduction of her own."

Getting the prompt, the girl turned to him again and smiled shyly, as she stepped forward to greet him. "Uhm, hi there! My name's Mitsuko. Mitsuko Yokoyama." She did her best to give a polite bow, before offering a hand similar to how Risa had, though notably with a bit more anxiousness. "Its uhh… a pleasure to meet you, Gohan-san."

"A pleasure to meet you too, Mitsuko-san." Gohan replied back just as politely, as he gently took her hand for a light, respectful shake whilst giving a light bow of his own head in return for hers. His Son grin still fully plastered over his face as he rose back up. The young half-Saiyan's easy-going and well-mannered behaviour getting Mitsuko's anxiousness to recede a good deal, the smile on her features becoming a little wider as their hands separated.

Gohan's eyes then flicked between her and the book she was holding, curiosity overtaking him in that moment, given his more studious nature. "That a textbook you have there, by any chance?"

Mitsuko's cheeks reddened at this question. "Ah. No. No." The girl then beamed a bit more excitedly, if bashfully, as she brought the book up to her chest, so Gohan could see the cover of it. "This is uhm… a manga actually. It's called Sangokushi, and it's a retelling of the 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', that I've been getting into recently."

"A retelling of 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', huh? Sounds interesting." Gohan nodded with an affable, intrigued expression, as he looked over the cover, which featured a bearded man in ancient Chinese armour. "I've actually been meaning to read up more on that myself, soon. I've heard it's a great tale."

"You should!" Mitsuko suddenly exclaimed with a lot more excitement in her voice, startling Gohan somewhat with her change in demeanour. The older girl seemed to realize too, shrinking in somewhat on herself in embarrassment, clutching her manga closer to her chest now with both hands as her cheeks flushed a deeper red. However, her newfound eagerness and enthusiasm did not waver in the least, as she regarded him. "Sorry! It's just… you really should! I can't recommend it harder. I-It's too incredible to pass up!"

"Heh, now he's gone and done it." Risa snorted in amusement, a very small, but knowing smile tickling her lips. "Once you get Mitsuko talking about her favourite little novel, there's no stopping her."

Kate snorted amusedly herself at this, whilst Mitsuko either didn't hear her colleague, or pointedly chose to ignore that playful jab, as she kept her attention focused on Gohan with a bright smile. "The 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' is one of the greatest pieces of literature that exists, trust me! I've read the original novel front-to-back hundreds of times already and it never gets old!" The green-haired girl gushed, allowing her inner-nerd to show up as she spoke of her most cherished piece of literature. "The characters, the stories interwoven within, the tragedy… it's all just so perfectly written! Plus, it's based on real events, so you can get some educational value out of it too!"

"I-I see." Gohan let out a nod of understanding while chuckling indulgingly, still feeling a bit taken aback by the outburst of excitement, but at the same time, feeling the girl's infectious joy rub off on him a bit. She kinda reminds me of Gakuto, in a way. He couldn't help but think humorously. His mind unable to help itself from running back over what the wiry teen's response had been after he'd asked him what he was after by helping Kiyoshi.

"You want to know what yours truly seeks to gain? Why, that'd be the limited-edition Guan Yu figurine, of course!" Gakuto had said with no small amount of excitement practically threatening to burst out of him, as he all but shed joyful tears at the thought. His toothy smile being one of honest love and fulfilment at the thought of being united with it. "As an avid reader and expert on all things to do with 'The Romance of the Three Kingdoms', I could never forgive myself if I allowed such a prized figurine of the legendary general to slip through my grasp!"

His and her excitement for that time period, and all the romanticization it'd gone through, was definitely comparable to one another, from where he was standing. And the half-breed got the immediate feeling that Gakuto and her could likely become friends over this topic. Well, that was of course, provided Mitsuko would even be willing to talk with the wiry teen at all, given the position he was in. "I'll take your word for it then, and get myself a copy soon, I suppose."

"G-Great! You won't regret it!" Mitsuko beamed even harder, looking like a bright ball of sunshine at this point with how happy that seemed to make her. "Y-You can come to the library with me right now before it closes, if you want? I can help you get it now, and even give you some other recommendations for manga based on it that are really good too!"

"Mitsuko, sweety. Calm down." Kate cut in with what looked like a serene smile to Gohan, as she placed a hand on the girl's shoulder, getting her to pause. "You might want to check the time, hmm? I'm pretty sure the library will already be closed by now, don't you think?"

"It is." Gohan nodded, agreeing with Kate's observation while giving Mitsuko an apologetic look. "Haven't been able to go there in a few days, but I do recall that it closes at 6pm. And we're already past that. Going now wouldn't be a good idea."

"O-Oh. Right. I forgot." The girl hung her head in added embarrassment. The detail of the library's closing time having slipped her mind briefly in her sudden excitement. "Sorry… I just… well… I don't really get to talk with anyone much about this stuff. No one else that I know is all that interested in it, so hearing you say that you were, I uhh… got a little too excited. I-I hope I didn't freak you out. Sorry!" The girl said again, this time with more emphasis, as she bowed her head low enough to bring the upper part of her body down at a ninety-degree angle to the rest of her, which stood rigid.

"There's no need to be sorry to him, Mitsuko. It was a simple mistake that anyone could make. I'm sure he doesn't mind, right Gohan?" Kate prompted with an understanding smile to the demi-Saiyan, which Gohan was quick to agree with.

"Uh, yeah, no worries!" Gohan shook it off with another light laugh. A part of him seriously considering introducing her to Gakuto, despite his current situation, but held himself back from doing so, for the moment. After all, as nice as she was now, he still had no idea how she'd react to being introduced to one of the 'prisoners', and if whether or not what she may've heard of them could make her uncomfortable at the prospect of being in the company of one, even if it was for something she and him liked and had a shared interest in.

Not wanting to make the girl feel too bad about the situation, though, seeing as the Gakuto option may be a bust, for the moment, Gohan was about to ask if she'd be up for showing him this stuff later, perhaps at the weekend, provided he could get Mari to agree to it. And seeing as a trip to the library for educational purposes seemed like a reasonable excuse, he had a hard time thinking of good reasons she might have to shoot it down, so he could certainly see it as probable.

Before he could though, his mind was taken out of that as his eyes finally took notice of something while looking down at the still bowing girl. His cheeks gaining some redness to them, as he saw that the back of the girl's skirt had somehow become stuffed inside of her pristine, white panties that he now had full view of. A very well-defined, pert bottom pushing out through her clothing as a result, and making him feel a bit of a tinge within his pants, as he wisely averted his gaze from her.

"U-Uhm… Mitsuko-san?" Gohan stuttered, his mind whirring at a thousand miles a minute to figure out how to let the girl know of her small wardrobe mishap without making things incredibly awkward and bringing her a heavy dose of embarrassment. Especially when the thought crossed his mind as to how long it'd been like that without her noticing! He certainly hoped it hadn't been like that the whole day! The idea alone was mortifying to him, and he wasn't even the one who was having it!

"Hmm? What is it, Gohan-san? Is something wrong?" Mitsuko asked with a hint of concern, as she rose up from her bow, completely oblivious to the fact the backside of her panties and butt were on full-display for God knows how long, as she stepped closer towards him.

And it was at that moment, where things went completely out of control in a way Gohan could've never foreseen.

Somehow, despite the floor being dry and spotless, and nothing being in the way, the older girl ended up tripping over herself the instant her leading foot came down, sending her body falling forward with a surprised yelp.

Seeing this play out, and being the kind person he was, Gohan was quick to step closer himself and crouch down, practically on instinct, just so he could catch and break her fall. However, as soon as his arms reached out and caught her mid-fall by her shoulders, the half-breed found himself stunned and yelping a bit himself when, somehow, despite having grounded himself well, his own feet slipped out from under him, causing him to fall backward.

As this was happening, his attempt to stop her seemingly only added to Mitsuko's momentum, as he accidently pulled her along with him. Worse still, perhaps on some instinct of her own to mitigate damage from the fall, the older girl's body began to roll, as the back of her head and shoulders struck against Gohan's torso, and with his balance already gone in this stupefying moment, he went from being planted on his ass, to forced down on his back. The back of his own head, unprotected by Ki, smacking against the hard floor almost comically and unbelievably making him feel a little discombobulated, as his mouth hung open in shock, and eyes went as wide as dinner plates, as a fraction of a second later, Mitsuko's body completed its roll over him, leaving his arms hanging up in the air.

The motion saved her from any actual injury herself over his hard, sturdy body, and if that's all it'd accomplished, then Gohan probably wouldn't have given this odd moment of clumsiness from himself any real pause and moved on with a quick apology to her once they got up. Unfortunately, Gohan found his vision being completely obscured by the inside of Mitsuko's skirt, which fluttered down over his temple and hair, as well as the girl's panties up close and far too personally for comfort, as the girl ended up coming to a stop sitting over his head! Her thighs subconsciously squeezing against the sides of his skull when this transition completed, as her crotch ended up pressed firmly down on his face. The silky-smooth material of her underwear brushing against his nose as it smothered down on his lips, and he felt something soft from within press through the thin fabric and give his yawning lips an indirect kiss.

"Mmrph!?" Startled beyond belief by the sudden shift to this unbelievably compromising position, the half-breed let out a muffled, involuntary cry before he could think to stop himself. The vibrations from his mouth passing over and through the silky fabric pressing into his lips, and the effect of such being immediate, much to his skyrocketing chagrin, as Mitsuko felt them in the worst possible place. And unseen by the demi-Saiyan, due to the skirt obscuring his line of sight, the girl's face exploded with a deep, crimson shade as her features contorted comically, sweat beading down her skin as her lips pursed harshly and her back subconsciously arched from the sensation that passed through her in that instant. The girl looking desperate to contain something from the strain of her facial muscles in that brief moment as her head upturned to the ceiling, before her resistance soon broke.

"Kyaaahhhhhhhh~!" The sound of her throaty, high-pitched squeal could've been heard no matter where one was in either the main school building or the dormitories, or perhaps even the whole campus. And as it happened, Gohan felt his own cheeks explode with a deep, crimson colour in embarrassment and something else he couldn't quite place, all as Mitsuko's creamy legs reflexively clenched even harder against the sides of his head, unintentionally trapping the poor half-breed's face even further against her panty-laden crotch. The action practically squishing his face into it as her slim, shapely thighs attempted, rather unsuccessfully, to squeeze his head in and burst it like a grape!

Around that time…

Within her office, sat behind her desk and with hands steepled together, Mari Kurihara stared out at nothing, despite how sharp her eyes looked. For within her mindscape, her thoughts whirred by as she contemplated the discovery she'd made upon accessing her father's computer earlier.

A part of her couldn't actually believe what she'd seen, what she'd read. If she hadn't been there herself to read it personally and witness it with her own eyes, she might've even believed it wasn't real. That's how much of a shock it all came to her as. How much it'd floored her to see what she had in that email from her father.

It was rare that Mari could honestly admit that she hadn't been prepared for something. Normally, when she was wary of anything, her mind was able to conjure up something that was quite accurate to what she'd inevitably run into and thus, wouldn't leave her the least bit surprised. It had been so very long since she'd run into a situation where her mind didn't have a fair idea of what she was getting into. Since she was but a child, in fact, going back almost a decade. However, those past instances where she'd found herself taken aback, she had no hesitation in admitting were utterly insignificant compared to what she'd walked herself into now.

At this point, Mari couldn't even remember what it had been that her mind suspected before she'd seen the contents of that email, but she knew it didn't compare in the slightest to what reality was. There wasn't a chance in hell her head could've prepared itself for what she'd learned. The information, which leaned into several subjects, were never anything she would've guessed.

No. Actually, there had been one detail in there she'd suspected somewhat, but not to the magnitude it'd ended up being. She'd only thought of that potentiality as a simple and recent affair, when it was anything but, and had been going on long enough that she should've noticed something earlier, but hadn't.

This is… I don't even know of a word right now that can accurately describe it. She thought to herself. Her current expression not her usual mask of stoic indifference, but one of disbelief and anxiousness. Even now, I don't know how to process what I saw. I'd almost believe this all to be a weird dream if I hadn't already pinched myself earlier to confirm it.

The real question now was… what the hell did she even do with this information? Did she confront her father with this? Normally, she'd have no reservations with doing so if she felt him responsible for something, but this was hardly a run-of-the-mill situation. The things she'd uncovered made that abundantly clear.

What was that old saying again? Be careful what you wish for? Well, she never found herself agreeing with that sentiment more than she did now. She might've also added 'ignorance is bliss' beside that, were it not for the fact that she also knew that her father intended to reveal a lot of it to her when he felt it would be fine to do so.

In any case, she'd have to speak with him eventually about what she'd seen in his email to Chi-Chi. She wasn't sure when she'd confront him with all this, but it couldn't be now. She was much too stunned, even now, racking her brain around everything to properly formulate an approach that was relatively calm and collected. For she'd much rather be that when discussing the contents of the email with him, and right now, she didn't trust herself to be able to do that.

He wasn't the only one she'd have to have a talk with, either. If everything she'd just seen was true, then similarly, when she'd taken the due time to process all of it, it was prudent that she speak with –

"Kyaaahhhhhhhh~!"

"Hunh!?" Startled, Mari felt her ears perk up immediately at the sound of a girlish scream. Her hands parting and slapping down on her desk as she rose to her feet in alarm. Was one of the girls in danger!?

"That sounded like it came from around the dormitories!" Call it a mixture of concern for her fellow female student, alongside her less controlled emotions, but USC president didn't bother to think any more on it, lest she fall into procrastination. Making her mind up to act quickly, Mari all but leapt over her desk rather than move around it with a flourish of her skirt. The door to the USC's office being swung open in an instant as she closed the space, and swiftly moved outside. The girl spotting one of her many crows outside the nearest window, looking to be just as startled as she'd been on the tree-branch it'd perched itself on.

Barely paying her most adored creature a passing glance, she did her best to push her thoughts on the email and her father to the side for the moment and focus more on where she'd heard the scream. Partially for a distraction, but mostly out of concern.

Whoever it was that'd let that out, they couldn't have been in a good spot. Had one of those filthy prisoners escaped the prison block and gotten inside to harass one of the girls? It would be a tough feat with Meiko keeping watch over them, but not impossible, and she wouldn't put it past one of those cretins to try their luck with yet another heinous, perverted deed like what they pulled in the bathhouse.

Or maybe its him that's the cause… Mari couldn't help but think, not ruling anything out, as she bolted at full speed toward where the sound had come from. Her legs swinging back and forth so fast from the speed of her impressive sprint that her skirt was in constant flutter, almost exposing the full shape of her backside beneath her almost skin-tight black tights.

Eventually, after crossing through one hallway after another, she came to a stop less than a minute later, with some beads of sweat trickling down her features, and her hair swishing about from the sudden halt.

What she ended up coming across, was a full floor filled with girls from first-through-third year. Some who had come from their rooms on that very floor, while others had come down the stairs and were peaking their heads over the corner in some cases to see what the commotion was about. Mari was sure she spotted a distinctive crop of blonde hair amongst the various heads too, which let her know Hana was most likely in attendance as well, and like her and the others, here to investigate the scream that'd been heard, it seemed. Something which had all of them, again like her, a mixture of curious, concerned and alarmed.

And it was right in front of that pack of girls, some of which still in their uniform and others not, were four individuals. Three of which made up the Aboveground Student Council, and the other, as of now, being the only male member of the USC that she headed.

"Everyone, please calm down! Trust me when I say there's nothing to see here." Mari heard Kate Takenomiya, president of the ASC and a person she held a personal distaste for remark toward the formed group of young women with raised hands and voice. Her natural charisma bleeding through in her calm, yet carefully chosen words to the populace. "Our dear Mitsuko here simply thought she saw a really big spider in Gohan's hair and freaked out. Nothing more."

Mari's eyes narrowed. A spider? If that was the case, then why were she and Gohan, who stood opposite of each other and behind Kate, blushing up a storm and looking so awkward around the other's presence? Even more suspicious – and damning in her eyes – was not only the fact that she breathing rapidly with hot breaths, almost to the point of hyperventilating, but also that the girl was hard clutching her skirt closer to her crotch while crossing her knees. All in what looked to be a panicked attempt to conceal what lay beneath said skirt.

It was a pointless gesture from her perspective, sadly, given the back half of her skirt was stuffed in her panties somehow, leaving much of her underwear exposed. A sight that Riza, Kate's righthand woman, was obfuscating the others from seeing by standing in-front of the girl at an angle that'd make it nigh-impossible for anyone trying to look past her to notice.

Which was probably for the best, given it seemed like she may've lost control of her bladder for a brief instant, given the sizeable dark patch Mari could just about make out around her crotch, as well as the thin, twin streams running down her legs, which she highly doubted was sweat. Or perhaps, even worse, that dark patch and streams of fluid had come from a certain, spiky-haired junior, who now that she was looking a little closer, even from this distance, did appear to have wetter-looking lips. Not to mention that, unless her eyes were deceiving her, the front of his pants looked to have a noticeable bulge to them. Something that some of the other girls might've noticed as well, were it not for Kate conveniently blocking their line of sight to it.

"A spider?" One of the girls asked cautiously – and fearfully – near the front of the pack, clearly buying what Kate had just spouted almost immediately, and rather gullibly, as she took a step back while the others murmured about the reason given. None truly questioning her word, given she headed the more official student council, even if the USC was the more recognised of the two, which thus, in the girls' eyes, made her word more trustworthy.

"Yes, a spider. Don't any of you worry, though. As I said, she only thought she saw one. Bit of an overactive imagination on her today. I'm sure we've all had at least one moment where we thought we saw something that just wasn't there. It unfortunately just so happens in this case, that it had to be something Mitsuko is quite afraid of. I doubt anyone here would fault her for that though, right?" She asked in a very leading manner, getting the response she wanted when many of the girls either nodded of gave a motion or look of understanding. The rest simply looking annoyed that they'd rushed out of their rooms because of a scream seemingly for nothing.

"My apologies to all of you for this wasting your time. Please, don't think any less of her for it. It was but a simple mistake that any of us could've made, and I'm sure she'll do her best in future not to make again. Isn't that right, Mitsuko?" Kate asked while turning halfway to look at her embarrassed cohort, who gave a startled flinch from having the spotlight placed on her, before she shared a look with Kate.

The poor girl gulped involuntarily from it, nervous beads of sweat rolling down her brightly blushing features, as she stuttered out a response that, in Mari's mind, didn't feel at all genuine, while never letting go of her skirt. Not that anyone else other than her could note such a detail. "Y-Y-Yes! I-I'll try my best to!"

"That's a good girl." Kate smiled, as her gaze trekked from her over to Mari. Her being the only one seemingly who knew the raven-haired beauty was there, as her smile grew just a little bit, while her eyes narrowed into snake-like slits for but the briefest of moments, before she turned back to the crowd of girls, while mounting her hands on her hips. "Now then, unless any of you have a reason to be out here that doesn't involve my cohort's little mishap, like a trip to the bathhouse, perhaps it'd be best if you returned to your rooms and what you were doing before, no?"

With some apologies, grumbles, and a few other sounds that demonstrated either annoyance or empathy, mostly the latter, the group of girls steadily made their leave, closing their doors and entering their rooms if they lived on this floor. The others who didn't making their way up the stairs to return to their abode.

Hana was one of the last to leave, which gave Mari a more proper look at the girl, who was as high up on the stairs as she could be while peeking over the corner. The president of the USC could tell her secretary hadn't even noticed her at all, and looked to be solely focused on Gohan before she left with narrowed eyes and a conflicted look on her face, as though uncertain of what to do.

That was odd. Had something occurred between the two that she wasn't aware of, or something? It was a possibility, though Hana hadn't said anything to either her or Meiko about it, which she was certain that the blonde would, if it did. Perhaps she was just overthinking that.

Regardless, once she was certain that there would be no prying eyes or ears, Kate chose that moment to turn fully in Mari's direction. Her damnable smile impossible to miss, and for the raven-haired beauty, even more so was the air it gave off to her, as their eyes locked from across the hall.

"Oh, my. Is there something I can help you with, miss Underground Student Council president?" The orangette asked in what most would construe as a sweet, respectful tone, as she brought the attentions of the other three, most notably Gohan, to herself. "I presume you were drawn to the scream too? Well, there's no need to fear, as it was simply a misunderstanding, is all."

To anyone else who didn't know her all that well, Kate's words would come across as sincere, especially the way she gave a little giggle of amusement at the situation. To Mari, however, who knew her better thanks to their days in middle school, her words and laughter might as well have been like liquid fire to her ears.

"What are you playing at, Kate?" Mari found herself asking coldly, briefly flicking her gaze to Gohan suspiciously before bringing it back to the smiling orangette with a glare. Her true feelings not as subdued as they'd normally be and she'd prefer, given her hands were clenched by her sides, and her facial expression was peeled more into a rough scowl than her typical, mostly stoic demeanour that gave nothing away.

And Kate, like a starving shark that'd finally smelt blood in the water, noticed the crack in her normally unshakable calmness right away. Her pink lips stretching into a wider smile of barely contained pleasure at seeing the exceptionally rare sign of weakness, as she folded her arms beneath her bosom.

"My now, whatever do you mean, Mari? I'm not 'playing' at anything, right now." She pursed her lips then, making a show of looking concerned, when in reality, Mari knew she must've been anything but, as she stepped forward and ahead of the others opposite her. "You seem a little frazzled, at the minute. I Imagine you must've been in your little club's office, and came bolting down here the moment you heard the scream, if the beads of sweat running down your face are any indication. I'd applaud you for the effort made in getting here, if it were just for concern for your fellow student, but knowing you and what you've been up to lately..."

"What are you talking about?" The USC president asked before she could catch herself, foolishly for once, falling for an obvious bait.

"Oh, don't ask like you don't know." Kate's eyes gleamed dangerously. "There's nobody in this school who isn't aware of your, shall we say, distaste for the boys. This fine young man included." She said, while glancing and gesturing toward Gohan, who looked bashful as he rubbed his neck and looked away with his blushing face at the compliment, missing the serpentine smile the orangette gave as she swerved her gaze back to Mari. "In fact, I've heard quite the interesting tale that after the other boys got caught being peeping toms, you wanted nothing more than to find Gohan here and throw him in the prison block with the others. Would've too, were it not for, as I found out today, the chairman getting involved and rightfully putting a stop to that injustice, before you put an innocent man behind bars."

A provocation if Mari had ever heard one, and one she refused to bite at this time. Not even when Gohan's eyes widened at that particular piece of information, having evidently been unaware of that fact up until now.

"Wait, is that true?" He asked, his blushing fading as he stared at her.

"Oh, it is. You can ask the chairman himself if you don't believe me. He's where I got the confirmation of your status from, in the first place, after I spoke with you in the hall earlier." Kate revealed before Mari could say a word, bringing Gohan's attention to her as she stretched her features into a look of empathy and understanding his way. "I'm guessing by your reaction that you weren't let in on that piece of information until now?"

At Gohan's nod, she continued. "Ah, then I suppose you must've thought Mari here was trying to be a bit more considerate with you of her own free will. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but knowing her like I do, I can promise you that if it were up to her alone, she would've had you chucked in prison with the others for whatever reason she could conjure up."

Gohan's head turned back to Mari then, surprisingly, giving her a chance to deny it still with a look that read 'Is that really true?', and the raven-haired lass found herself taken aback a little, at how his eyes held some degree of faith in her that it wasn't. That surely, she was more understanding than that.

When she glanced away from him, however, feeling a sense of shame unexpectantly creep up on her inwardly – though she had no idea why – and made no attempt to deny Kate's words, she confirmed what the orangette said to be true.

Kate, unfortunately, did not need her to respond verbally, however. Her silence and inability to look Gohan in the eyes at that moment was more than enough for her to continue.

"See? No attempt to deny it, because she knows it's true. She knows how prejudiced she really is." Though she hid it well, Mari caught on to the hint of smugness in her voice, as she involuntarily stiffened somewhat at the claim. "I'll bet you're angry at the fact he had to be made an honorary member of your council, whether you liked it or not, as opposed to the prisoner you desperately wanted him to be, purely for the crime of being a boy." Kate's expression shifted again, this time contorting into by far the most animated visage she'd had thus far. One of hatred. "Combine that with your high-and-mighty attitude and propensity to stick your nose in where it doesn't belong, and it's clear you're still as repulsive as ever."

"Hmph. You're the last person who should ever be calling me that, Kate." Mari clipped out, forcefully resisting the urge to scowl any harder, as she recalled the girl's actions in the past and felt downright insulted inwardly that she of all people would have the gall to refer to her as repulsive. Even still, she refused to show it. She'd made the mistake in this scenario of giving her more ammo already than she should've. Instead, she kept her features as schooled as she could, while letting out a calming breath to bring in more of her composure. "I will give you this though. That silver tongue of yours is still as sharp as ever. Making up that spider story to the girls and then immediately doing what you can to poison the well with me."

"Poisoning the well implies that I'm sharing false information about you, when I've done no such thing. And whatever do you mean by 'making up that spider story', hmm? That's quite the bold claim without any evidence." Kate's legs began moving again, until she was all but a foot in front of Mari. Her head tilting up to meet the taller girl's blue eyes with her green pools. "Although, given the look you snuck Gohan's way a moment ago, I suppose it doesn't take a genius to figure out what conclusions you're drawing, despite my and Mitsuko's word on the matter. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised at this point if you came running here so fast not because of a fellow student's distress, but at the possibility you might finally be able to stick a certain someone with a prison sentence."

"Don't be ridiculous." Mari scoffed. "No matter what you may tell yourself about me, Kate, I would never put one of the girls safety beneath the idea of putting someone in the prison block." As she said that, her eyes shot up to meet Gohan's. "And as for you…"

The dark-haired dame paused when she caught sight of the look he was now giving her. Her eyes widening slightly in surprise, as she saw the disappointment on his features. The kind of disappointment one showed when their belief in someone's character turned out to be an overestimation.

Mari's eyes narrowed once again, however, as she shook away the little surprise she'd felt, along with this strange feeling of shame that cropped up out of nowhere a second time. What right did someone like him have to give her such a look, anyway? After what he'd most likely gotten up to, which Kate was slyly covering him for, and evidenced by his pants' bulge more than anything, she should be the one giving him a look like that. Even if she wasn't truly surprised in the least that he was turning out precisely how she'd predicted he truly was.

"I expect you to be up bright and early tomorrow. You'll be spending the entire day tomorrow aiding in supervising the other boys under Meiko's instruction. Don't worry about lessons, you'll be able to catch them all alongside the inmates from the TV that's been setup in the prison block." With that coldly delivered order given, Mari locked gazes with Kate one more time for but a brief instant, before turning on her heel and making her way back where she came from, without saying another word to any of them.

As she walked out of their sight, however, and strode down the halls back to her office, Mari found her teeth gritting in a form of frustration she didn't think she'd ever felt before. The full contents of the email she'd read playing back in her mind again, this time in a different context that made her previously frayed composure, which she'd had to fix up as best she could, fizzle away altogether in place of a more thunderous visage.

She had been shocked before at the revelations of it, but now, she found herself very much incapable of believing certain details therein, which'd pertained to the spiky-haired student. It was confirmed to her more than ever now that he really was no different from the other boys, despite what he claimed.

Pulling out her phone, she was swift in getting to typing out and sending off a message to Meiko, letting her know of her latest decision, and to be prepared. Not only for tomorrow, but in general when it came to dealing with their unwanted stain in the USC.

All the while, Mari decided she already didn't care about confronting her father. She was convinced now that that man had gotten himself involved in a con with that Chi-Chi woman, and whatever repercussions he ended up with for it, they were all on him for believing whatever she'd said, and most certainly what she'd done, in order to get in his good graces.

Meanwhile… Back around the dormitories…

"Take my advice, Gohan." Kate said, as she turned back toward Gohan, and began walking back to him and her two cohorts, once she was sure Mari was gone. "It'd be wise for you to be extra wary from now on with Mari's group, because I don't doubt that she and her pals are going to be trying their hardest to catch you out in something they can use to boot you from their little club and lock you up like the other boys. She's petty like that." She warned, as she stopped by his side and placed a dainty hand on his shoulder, while looking up at him with an empathetic-looking smile.

"I'll be sure to keep that in mind." Gohan nodded, feeling both thankful and strangely conflicted at the same time, as Kate gently pulled her hand away. The former for her advice and the latter, well, that was twofold. The first having to do with the raven-haired girl. The half-breed had seen it reflected in her eyes, no matter how well she'd hidden it on her features. He'd seen both anger and frustration there in equal amounts, though despite her looking right at him, it didn't feel like most of it was aimed at him, oddly enough.

If he had to compare it to anything, it was almost like someone's negative attention being focused on someone who hadn't necessarily earned it, but was the only target in their mind they could go for at the moment, as opposed to whom they really wanted, if that made any sense.

As for the other thing that had him feeling conflicted…

"Hey, Kate?"

"Yes?" Said girl quirked a curious brow at him.

"Not that I'm not grateful, but… why did you help me there?" He had to ask, as he turned his body fully to face the girl.

"Are you referring to what just happened with Mari there, or before, with the other girls?" The orangette replied with a question of her own, as she mounted a hand on her curvy hip.

"Both, I guess." Gohan shrugged. "Again, it's not that I'm not grateful, because I am, but you and I hardly know each other at all, yet you just stuck your neck out for me and made sure I didn't get into any trouble, when you were under no obligation to do so."

"No obligation? Oh, come now, don't be silly." She shook her head whilst giving him a pretty smile. "What happened between you and Mitsuko was little more than a freak accident. As the official student council president, it'd be terrible form of me to not back up a student in need when they've done nothing wrong." She explained with a light giggle that Gohan found himself appreciating. "Isn't that right, Mitsuko?"

"Ah! W-Well, uhm… Yeah." The girl's face was still flushed red even now, and looking back at her Gohan felt his own cheeks heat up as well at the compromising position they'd been not mere moments ago. "That was my fault, sorry! I-I'm a bit of a klutz and ended up tripping on my own feet into you…"

"O-Oh, it's fine, Mitsuko-san! Really! If anything, I should be apologizing to you. I tried to move forward and catch you, but somehow ended up slipping myself and getting us tangled up in a position I'm sure neither of us wanted to be in." He quickly bowed his head, as Kate stepped out of his way to allow him space. "Please forgive me for that. I should've done better."

"I-It's fine." She said back, face as ripe red as a tomato, as she turned whilst still gripping her skirt. Her breaths much calmer now, but still a little heated. "W-We uhh… We were both a little too clumsy today, is all. N-Now, if you'll excuse me… I gotta get back to my room!"

Gohan's blush returned as he was once again treated to the sight of the girl's butt with her skirt stuffed within her panties, as she began running away in clear embarrassment. The wet spot by her panty-laden crotch in full view as she ran away toward the stairs, along with the fluid trickling down her legs, not just to himself, but also to Kate and Riza, who watched her make her leave as well.

That was my fault… Gohan couldn't help but think in shame. Even if it'd been something he hadn't meant to do, and had been entirely an involuntary reaction to his sudden situation beneath her, that didn't change the fact that he'd still done what he'd did. His mouth, pressed already to her crotch from their fall, had first let out a startled cry that he'd failed to fully control. His panic causing the slightest slither of his ki to pump out with it. Nothing life-threatening by any stretch, but enough to cause an immense vibration over what his lips were stuck on, which'd most certainly passed through the thin fabric of her underwear and stimulating her… yeah.

Then she'd let out that squealing scream, which'd only jolted him even higher into his moment of panic, and had caused him to suck in a breath in alarm at having potentially hurt her, forgetting briefly where his mouth happened to be, like a complete idiot. It was a miracle he hadn't ended up sucking her underwear clean off and into his throat with the powerful intake his lungs had made, but he'd certainly made a huge, damp spot with his saliva in the process of doing that, along with fluids that'd come from her as well. Said fluids having sprayed, from his perspective, right into her abused panties, and pouring through the already damp fabric from the sheer velocity behind them directly into his sucking maw.

After all his studies in biology, Gohan knew what it was that he could still taste in his mouth, much to his chagrin. It was the sweet nectar excreted from a woman during orgasm… and that made him cringe more than having gained his second erection since coming to this school.

He'd gone to help her and stop her fall and ended up somehow making a balls of it and forcing Mitsuko to an orgasm in the middle of a freaking hallway. He was almost surprised with how quickly Kate and Riza had moved after her squeal became even louder and more high-pitched from his sucking and her swift climaxing. The duo pulling the girl off of him and then getting them both to their feet just before the other girls rushed out of their rooms to check out what'd just happened. He found himself being highly grateful for that though, and how could he not be?

Had neither of them been there with them, and had neither of them been backed up by Kate's words, as well as her and Riza shielding them from view, then the embarrassment Mitsuko was feeling now, which was already pretty damn high, he'd imagine, would've been indescribable. That along with the humiliation. And he didn't even need to get into how embarrassed and apologetic he was over this whole fiasco, which would've only been compounded by what the thoughts of every girl would've been, had they seen the position they'd been in on the floor. No chance he wouldn't have been proclaimed a sexual predator or something along those lines, and at that point, time with the other boys in the prison block would've been a generosity.

With some added willpower, he pulled his gaze away from the retreating senior, as he saw that her nectar by this point, as she reached the stairs, had travelled down to her ankles. Letting out a nervous gulp from the sight he'd caused, the half-breed felt the pulse of his member within his pants, now out of control again like it had been when Hana had played with it without his consent, as the taste of the girl's spewed nectar lingered still in his mouth.

By Kami, he hoped his mother never found out about this, or else he knew she'd be livid!

"She'll be okay. Just needs a little bit of time to herself after that little mishap." Kate said, bringing his attention back to her, where he saw her smirking at him. "As for you though, I must say, you've got quite the pair of lips on you, if you managed to get that much of a reaction out of her so quickly. And accidentally no less~."

"Ah… Ahah…" Gohan sweated bullets while letting out an even more nervous laugh from the blatant tease, which showed she knew well what he'd done too. Made even worse by the fact that, as he'd just noticed then, both she and Riza were also blushing, unable to hold it back anymore now that nobody was here to scrutinize them. And how they'd even managed to hold it in that long he had no clue. All he could do, at that moment, was avert his gaze from theirs and look away embarrassedly. "Cuh-Could you uhm… please not bring this up again? I-I'm kinda mortified as it is about it…"

"Not sure if I'll be able to, given its not every day you see something like that happen, but I'll try." She replied, whilst giving him a pat on the arm. "What are friends for, after all?"

"Wait. Friends?" He turned back to her, face still red, but surprised.

"Yep. You heard me right." She nodded. The pretty smile that came over her features getting his heart to strangely race just a little bit more, though perhaps that had something to do with his irksome phallus pulsating hard inside his pants. Far too hard for his liking. "Consider us friends now, Gohan-kun." She added, making his blush intensify against his better wishes from the highly affectionate use of suffix, when she'd previously used no honorific with him at all. "Accident notwithstanding, you've made more than enough of a good impression on me to like having you around."

The exceptionally pretty senior then surprised him even more, as well as making his reddened face slightly darker, as she pushed herself up on her toes and leaned in to give him a light peck on one of his cheeks. And as fleeting as it was, the sensation of her soft lips pressing against his skin was enough to send what felt like a small shock of electricity down the half-Saiyan's spine.

"Feel free to come around the official Student Council office whenever you like. You're more than welcome there with us, Gohan-kun~." She said with a slightly huskier tone, one that he could feel make the Saiyan blood in him act up a bit for some reason, as she gave him a wink. "It won't be as luxurious as the one given to the USC by any stretch, as the school sadly doesn't give us the same respect they do with Mari's prejudiced band, but we make do with what we have for now. Pay us a visit whenever you feel like it. It's in the small, wooden building near the main school building with a sign out front. You can't miss it."

"A-Ah… I see." Gohan could do little else but nod. "I-I'll be sure to pop around when I can, hehe." He laughed nervously, but somewhat pleasantly as well, as he rubbed the back of his head again.

"See to it that you do. Having you around should certainly liven things up a bit, I'd say." She giggled again. A pleasing sound that a growing part of the demi-Saiyan enjoyed to hear again. "Until then, Gohan-kun, I'll see you around." She finished, giving him a wave before twirling gracefully around and striding away from him with her short skirt fluttering from the movement, highlighting her shapely, milky-white legs to Gohan's eyes. Something he paid more attention to then he should've, thanks to a certain little head of his currently having more influence then he'd like thanks to arousal.

"See you later." Riza simply nodded at him, rather than waving, as she turned and followed her friend, quickening her pace to catch up and move by her side.

"See ya…" Gohan responded back, sort of at a loss for words at everything that'd just transpired. Nonetheless, however, other than his embarrassment over the accident with Mitsuko, he found himself feeling… rather happy actually.

It looked like he was indeed finally making some friends outside of Kiyoshi. Or well, a friend, at least. Riza and Mitsuko had been pleasant enough, but he wasn't entirely sure on the verdict with either of them just yet, mainly the latter after their little mishap. Accident or not. Kate though? She'd made her stance pretty clear then and there.

Those feelings he'd gotten about her the first time they'd met earlier today, which he'd shook off at the time, the demi-Saiyan now felt justified in doing so. They'd definitely been a figment of his imagination, he thought. His opinion of her right now, particularly after she'd stuck her neck out like that for him, was leagues beyond anyone else he'd come into contact with at this school so far. Not even Kiyoshi at his best, when not being a pervert, had made such a good impression on him.

She and Riza hadn't even fully disappeared from his sight yet, as they reached the staircase, when Gohan decided he'd take Kate up on her offer as soon as possible. Maybe not tomorrow, since his entire day would be spent around the prison, and he had a feeling Meiko would be keeping an extra-close eye on him because of Mari, but the day after? Absolutely. All he'd need is an excuse as to why he was late arriving for duty, which he was sure he could come up with rather easily.

Before that though… He thought with some chagrin, as he glanced down at his pants' bulge, and felt all the blood that'd rushed to his third leg. Gotta get rid of you first. Doubt meditation will work, but maybe a cold shower will? There should still be time, after all, and he knew after asking a teacher yesterday that one of the several bathing areas within the school had indeed been reserved for the boys exclusively when they'd arrived, conveniently and understandably on the opposite side of the building from the others. It hadn't gotten any use up to now, on account of the other boys being in prison, but it was open for use, and honestly, outside of hopefully quelling his erection, he could do with a wash anyway.

Mind made up, Gohan turned away from Kate and Riza just as they left his view climbing the stairs and entered his room. The demi-Saiyan taking a short minute to collect a folded-up spar uniform contained in plastic wrapper that he'd been given by the faculty near his bed, before exiting his room and closing the door behind him, as he began making his way back into the main school building. His bulge bothering him all the way, as he trekked toward the only male bathing area on the campus, outside the prison block showers.

As he rounded the first corner to cross the intersection between the dormitory building and the main school building, the spiky-haired youth never noticed a certain bowl-cut blonde popping her head out again from the corner of the stairway. Her eyes zoned in on him as she began slowly began to follow…

AND CUT!

Welp, that's this heavily delayed chapter finally released, anyhow. Had it mostly done for quite a while now, and since I was on break from my college project write-up, I decided it was about time I finished it. Ended up being longer than I originally thought it'd be, lol. Guess we can consider this one of the exception chapters for its length, and heads-up, the next one will most likely be one too.

I originally wanted to have the full details of the email Mari read exposed in this chapter, but thought better of it. Will reveal it in full later, though plenty of you will no doubt be able to guess parts of it, based on Mari's inner thoughts in this chapter.

The bit with Mitsuko, well, Prison School readers will understand better what exactly just occurred there with her. Let's just say she kinda has a knack for causing accidents without intending to.

As for Kate, well, you'll have to wait and see where I go with her in the future. She'll definitely have her own section in the next chapter, which I'll just let you all know now, is coming sometime in December.

Regardless, I hope you all got some enjoyment out of this chapter and I'll see you all in the next chapter of this, when it comes out.
