Yomi Meet Shinpaku Alliance
"Ok if this is supposed to go here and that's supposed to go there..." Gohan and Kenichi said as Miu watched the two warriors struggle with their assignment.
"Why must there be knots?!" Gohan exclaimed as he once again tried to unravel a large ball of wool that contained their team project at the centre.
"Muscles won't fix everything for you two you know?" Miu giggled as she put out her hand.
"I don't think you'll be able to do it Miu-chan.. me and Gohan have been at it for a whi..." Kenichi began.
"You guys were really close, but you just needed a female touch to finish it." Miu said as she removed the final knot to reveal a note and a small mental ball.
"Wow, you're really good at stuff like that Miu-san!" Gohan exclaimed as even he with his super strength wasn't able to do the task.
"T...thank you Gohan-kun." Miu blushed as Kenichi picked up the note.
"Congratulations on getting to the end of the test!" Kenichi said as he began to read what was on the note.
"Well done Team Ath!" Kyōko said as she came back into the classroom, followed by five others, Renka and Boris being among them and spotted the open ball of wool on the table that was being shared by Miu, Kenichi and Gohan.
"Team Ath?" Gohan said in confusion.
"Short for athletic, very few in this school have the muscles and skills that you three have." Kyōko replied with a smile.
"Who are those people with you Mrs Ono?" Kenichi said as he glanced at the newcomers.
"Oh forgotten me already 'Boy A-Kun?'" One of the females said as she caught Kenichi's eye.
"Oh! Your the cool girl from..." Kenichi began before he caught himself. 'Miu-san can't find out about the fact that Sakaki used me to get money for the dojo!'
"The restaurant." The girl said with a smirk as she watched Kenichi fumble with his words.
"Ah yes! Four of the students behind me are foreign exchange students that will be starting as second years." Kyōko finished as Boris glanced at Gohan.
"However i'm sure you remember me Kenichi-kun." Renka said as she nudged the girl out of Kenichi's direct line of sight.
"Renka-san! Your back from your restaurant training?!" Kenichi exclaimed as Renka came out from behind Boris.
"Yes, and it would seem that you've made a new friend since I've been gone." Renka added as she saw Gohan beside Kenichi and Miu.
"Oh that's right! You haven't met Gohan-kun since he's new at the school!" Miu said.
"He's not related to Son Gohan or Son Goku is he?" Renka said as she took a step back in surprise.
"Actually i'm related to both. Son Goku was my father and Son Gohan was his grandfather." Gohan said with a smile as he got up.
'He's related to two legends?!' Boris thought as he and the other two boys looked more closely at Gohan.
"Ahem! We are getting ahead quite ahead of ourselves here. Gohan-kun, Kenichi-kun. Like I said these are four exchange students from foreign countries. I would like for you two and Miu to show them around, since you three are also second years and helped Gohan-kun settle in so well." Kyōko said as she noticed all the newcomer's gaze was firmly fixed on Gohan.
"First would it not be a good idea to introduce ourselves?" The dark-skinned student said as he gazed at Kyōko making all the girls swoon.
"Good idea!" Kyōko said with a smile. "Since you suggested it why don't you start?"
"As you wish... my name is Kokin, Tirawit Kokin. My hobbies are chess, reading, Muay Thai and philosophy." Tirawit said as he looked around at the class.
"Very nice!" Kyōko said as Kokin's gaze returned to Gohan who's eyes were fixed on the group as a whole. "You'll get along with these three very well then!"
'He's extremely easy to read..' Kokin thought as he looked Gohan up and down without revealing what he was doing. 'However, Boris is right... we cannot underestimate him.'
"Kokin huh?" Gohan said as he moved towards Kokin with a hand outstretched. "Nice to meet you!"
"The pleasure is all mine Son Gohan." Kokin replied as he took the outstretched hand in his own.
'Hmm... as I thought he is no ordinary fighter..' Gohan thought as Kokin's grip tightened.
"I hope we can all get along." Gohan said as he matched Kokin's grip strength and looked into his eyes.
"We will."
'What an intense aura!' Kenichi thought as he felt the amount of Dou Ki that Kokin was putting out.
Grinning slightly from the display, Gohan removed his grip. "And you three are?" Gohan said as he turned to Kokin's comrades.
"Boris Ivanov, Ethan Stanley and Rachel Stanley." The other three said as they also shook Gohan's hand.
"Strong names."Gohan replied as he let go of Rachel's hand. "It's good to see that you have good hobbies to go along with them."
'These guys are no ordinary fighters!' Kenichi thought as he, Renka and Miu watched the exchange with narrowed eyes.
'They appear to have been taught by some masters..' Miu thought.
"W...well! Like I said you three will be taking care of the newcomers so do your best to get along!" Kyōko said as she could feel the tension in the air but was unaware of the cause.
"Bringggggggggggggg!"
"Oh... seems like class is over." Kyōko said as she inwardly sighed without knowing why.
"Then me and Miu need to go and prepare for our gymnastics training." Gohan said as he glanced at Miu.
"We can leave the rest of the assignment for when we get back to the dojo ok Kenichi?" Miu said.
"Sure.. in fact, I'll probably continue to read the note while I'm doing my gardening duties." Kenichi replied as Gohan and Miu nodded
"Let's go then guys!" Gohan said.
In age Age 766...
Clutching Bulma's hand to his chest as she lay on her bed at their home. Trunks stared at his elderly mother.
"You have done some great things for this world my son. But you have done more than enough. You have your own life to live and it will be with your father at your side." Bulma said as she looked at her son with pride.
"I...
"Be well my son, return to your father's time and give him my love." Bulma said with a smile as she took her last breath and passed on.
"I will honour your request mum." Trunks said as he looked at the peaceful face of his mother.
"But before I do that I have a few things of my own to take care of."
"Come on Trunks!" Goten said as he happily dodged the blows of current timeline Trunks's attacks.
"So cool!" Honoka said as she watched the two little warriors fight in the Ryōzanpaku dojo with Vegeta and the Elder watching the match in silence.
"Your big brother Gohan taught you well Goten!" Trunks said as the two had yet to go Super Saiyan a feat that had greatly impressed Vegeta. "But don't forget he trained with me and dad as well!"
Finally hitting the younger boy squarely in the jaw, Trunks smirked.
"Nice one Trunks-kun!" Honoka said causing the lavender-haired boy to blush and also caused him to lower his guard enough for Goten to get a counterattack in.
"Oh!"
"So you came because of the indirect challenge made by Mr Satan?" Hayato said to Vegeta.
"No, I came because I felt interesting ki begin to gather around Gohan. I take it that it was you and the people that he is currently around?" Vegeta replied.
"You must be the previous trainer that Gohan-kun keeps talking about." Shigure said as she sensed Vegeta's presence.
"And you must be his mate... I can smell him all over you." Vegeta replied making Hayato laugh, and Shigure to look at Vegeta in confusion.
"No, they haven't done anything like that! He just sleeps in the same room as her." Hayato said as he stopped laughing.
"But I can tell that he likes you because I like you." Vegeta said. "We Saiyans are good at choosing mates."
"Mates?" Shigure said in confusion.
"He means that Gohan likes you more than as a trainer!" Hayato said unable to keep a straight face due to Shigure's confusion.
"Oh..."
"I see that he got most of his social skills from you?" Shigure said now red-faced from the thought of her and Gohan as more than teacher and student.
"Well we did train for seven years I would be surprised if he didn't."
"Seven years?!" The masters at the dojo said in shock.
"Would have been longer but Gohan wanted to rest in between to learn about Saiyan etiquette and help out my wife." Vegeta replied as if seven years was nothing.
"And your wife is?" Akisame said politely.
"Bulma Briefs of the Capsule Corporation." Vegeta replied with no small amount of pride in his voice.
"You were amongst those green men and that bald guy many years ago!" Apachai said as he pointed at Vegeta who began to laugh.
"You're referring to when I wanted to get control of this planet and it's most precious items the dragon balls... However, that was long ago and I have found things on this planet that have made me decide that it's worth more to me whole than as a speck of dust in the solar system."
"But you do admit that you were among those who wanted to destroy the planet?" Kensei asked as the other masters at the dojo crept closer to Vegeta.
"I wouldn't recommend it, you guys." Gohan said as he returned home with Miu and Kenichi at his side. "He doesn't really understand the meaning of 'restraint' when it comes to weaker warriors."
"So your home Gohan-kun." Shigure said as she sheathed her sword.
"Good evening masters." Gohan said as he bowed to each of the sensei in turn.
"And good evening father." Gohan said as he without warning punched Vegeta in the jaw, causing the older warrior's feet to slide across the floor before he recovered.
"I see that you haven't forgotten our personal greeting!" Vegeta said as he vanished and punched Gohan in the gut.
"They're at it again..." Goten and Trunks sighed as the masters, Miu and Kenichi watched on in surprise.
"What did you expect after getting training from you in seven years?!" Gohan said with a smirk.
"I see that you've kept yourself in good shape. Good, I was starting to worry that not being around me would make you 'normal'." Vegeta said as he mirrored the smirk perfectly.
"So what brings you all the way out here?" Gohan asked as he quickly, but neatly removed all of his school clothes leaving him with only Goku's outfit that he had embossed with the Saiyan symbol.
"A World Martial Arts Tournament." Vegeta said as he and Gohan exited the dojo and stared at one another.
"A World Martial Art's Tournament? I haven't heard anything."
"That's because it was announced while you were at school with Miu and Kenichi-kun." Shigure said, as she and the other masters alongside Miu, Kenichi and Trunks had followed the two outside.
"I wouldn't have cared much but that buffoon of a human, Hercule Satan issued an indirect summons for all the participants of the Cell Games to be there, apparently he means to show the world that what you, your father and Cell did were mere 'tricks.'"
"Hmmm, could be fun to show the world that they aren't wouldn't it Vegeta? And we could have a rematch!"
"I think I'll join you two!" Said a familiar voice.
"Where is that voice coming from?" Kenichi said as he looked around for the source of the voice.
"Kakarot... how nice of you to grace us once again with your 'heavenly voice.'" Vegeta said as he looked up at the sky.
"Seems like you guys have been making new friends since I've been away!" Goku said as he looked at the group from the other world.
"Who are you guys talking to?" Sakaki said looking very shaken.
"My father." Gohan said as his eyes lit up. "So you're going to participate in the tournament as well?!"
"Yeah! It seems that the deeds that I did when I was alive have given me a day to spend with you guys. Tell your mother Gohan, I'm coming home for a day!"
"Is that truly Son-Goku?!" Hayato said in surprise as he looked up at the evening skies.
"You guys must have some interesting techniques if my son is with you. I look forward to seeing you guys at the tournament." Goku said as he smiled at the thought of seeing his son again.
"Just like you father!" Gohan said as he jumped happily. "How long till this tournament begins?"
"Within the next two months..." Shigure said as she too looked up at the sky.
"Then that gives you guys two months to prepare!" Goku said as he held up a finger when King Kai glared at him to hurry the conversation.
"We never did get our promised fight Kakarot!" Vegeta said as he looked happy at the thought of facing Goku one more time.
"Well, miracles do happen Vegeta." Goku said with a smile. A comment that made Vegeta smirk.
"We'll meet you at the tournament!" Gohan said as he too couldn't wait to see his father again after so many years.
"Also before I forget! I'll be bringing surprise guests."
"Surprise guests?" Gohan and Vegeta said as they looked at one another.
"You'll have to wait and see!" Goku laughed as he broke the connection.
