I am so, so, sorry about the long wait from my last story. I don't even know what had happened. I just couldn't get myself to write anything.
He opened his eyes... And saw Videl. Standing in front of him, her hand outstretched towards him. He stared at a dumbfound Erasa, who was trembling in fear. The weird thing is, Videl wasn't the she was afraid of.
"How the hell did you do that?" The girls spat.
"I was supposed to... burn, wasn't I?" Gohan asked meekly, glancing at the ashes left from the now 'late' teacher and back at ther two.
Videl flicked her wrist again, her palm opened.
"Burn."
Nothing.
"B-Burn!"
For the first time ever, she felt fear. And she didn't like this feeling. At all. Before anyone could say anything, Videl sprinted to her next lesson.
"That did not just happen. It couldn't have happened... it wasn't possible." The blue eyed devil convinced herself.
Meanwhile, Erasa and Gohan were still trying to comprehend what just happened.
"So... She can't kill you. HOW?!"
"I don't know. I didn't know someone like her existed, if I knew there was a short tempered student with superpowers I wouldn't have came here." Gohan almost wailed.
Erasa scoffed.
"Don'the forget kill crazy. And its not a super power. Super power are supposed to cool. She's a freak. And I'm convinced you are too."
Gohan face dropped at that comment until Erasa added jokingly,
"But unlike her, you seem to actually have a soul, and I like that in a person."
He chuckled at that comment, though it did upset him at how he talked about her so harshly. She couldn't have been that evil... Even if she did just murder a teacher and supposedly almost him. He really was too optimistic.
Erasa locked arms with Gohan and dragged him to their next lesson.
"Sorry, we are late, Miss." Gohan apologised nervously.
"Its fine, Gohan. But don't let Erasa drag you into her bad habit of poor punctuality." The middle aged brunette sighed.
"Whatever." The teenage blonde muttered, causing Gohan to snicker.
The two sat together near the back, Gohan's seat being next to a long haired, blonde, muscular student in a tank top. He gulped pretty visibly, alerting Erasa.
"Don't worry, Sharpener isn't as intimidating as he looks." Erasa giggled.
"Shut up, Erasa." The other blonde snarled back.
"Make me you neanderthal!" She challenged back.
"I would but your 'boyfriend' here might get upset."
Whatever fear that was silencing Gohan so far vanished because as soon as Sharpner finished that sentence, he spun around, glared at him and stated bluntly,
"I'm not her boyfriend."
That caught Sharpener by surprise, but he continued to jeer at the two.
"Are you sure? Because you both look kind of sweaty and I wouldn't shocked if Erasa-"
"Shut up, Sharpener!" She yelled quite loudly.
The entire class stared at them, causing Erasa to face palm.
"Erasa, keep it down!" Her teacher ordered.
Erasa rolled her eyes and continued her conversation with her other blonde haired friend.
"For your information, we were running from that freak show that's somehow still in this school." Erasa rasped.
"Oh... shit." He mumbled.
"And Gohan is the only person who literally doesn't burn. I'm serious." Erasa scoffed, almost laughingly.
"What? You- he doesn't..." Sharpener mumbled in disbelief. "Do you know what this means?!"
Gohan shook his head.
"We can finally stop her, idiot!"
"Sharpener!" Their teacher exclaimed.
"You're the only one who can do this Gohan." Erasa said pressuring the teenager. "We need you to find out how to stop that deadly little flame of hers."
"...How? She doesn't like me." Gohan replied.
"Well, make her like you. Try something, you're our best hope stopping her once and for all." Sharpener stated.
"I don't know, guys. Let's say I do befriend of her or anything and she does tell me about her power, wouldn't I be betraying her trust? If she finds out that I did that she'didn't murder all of you." Gohan reasoned.
"By the time she knows you found her weakness, we'd already be able to stop her!" Erasa chuckled.
"You've got to do this, man." Sharpener encouraged. "If not for us, then do it for all the people she's ever killed. We are all relying on you."
"Please." The short haired blonde placed her hand on Gohan's shoulder. If he wasn't feeling stressed before he sure was now.
"Fine! I'll do it." Gohan sighed. "Now can I focus on my education?"
"Nerd alert." Sharpener snorted.
"You do realise all of our lives are basically riding on him. The last thing we should be doing is insulting him, Sharpener."
A cheeky half smirk crept unto Gohan's face. Though the 3 could tell it forced to a certain degree, it pissed off Sharpener.
"If I were you, I'd listen to your girlfriend." Gohan teased.
Gohan regretted provoking Sharpener when he found himself on the floor, looking up to a snickering blonde muscle man.
"Sharpener, stop being a bully."
"It's okay, I deserved it." Gohan replied laughingly.
Meanwhile Videl was no where as relaxed as those three. She was fidgeting throughout her fist lesson; which was very unusual for the calm, fairly cool headed psychopath. Her breathing clearly abnormal with minute gasps about every 10 seconds. She couldn't focus, not with all these questions in her head, with her heart racing at 200 beats per minute or the little voice nagging in her head.
'Guess what Videl, you're not the one in charge anymore.'
"Be quiet."
'Aww... Is someone angry? You okay?'
"You okay Videl?" Videl heard a voice utter. But it wasn't the one inside her head.
She snapped back to reality and looked up to see a turquoise eyed student with jade pigtails.
"Are you okay?"
The entire class turned around to see what idiot would intentionally decide to speak to Videl. As if they didn't how dangerous she was. What caught the class by surprise was Videl's shaky breath and the lack of anger and murder in her tone.
"Yeah..."
"By the way, you kind of destroyed your pencil case." The girl had such an endearing grin that it made Videl almost smile back. Something that had never happened before...
She looked at her desk, she really had destroyed it. During all of her frustration, she had burnt her pens and pencils to a crisp, scorch marks and she's as her evidence plus a trail of smoke.
"Shit."
"It's alright, you can borrow a few pens. I have extra."
What Videl said next almost terrified the class.
"Thanks."
Videl was a stone cold killer, she could murder anyone in this room with the flick her wrist. But she seemed unsure of herself today. She was never nervous and certainly not paranoid. So why did she seems so afraid now? Something was seriously wrong; especially that she hadn't killed anyone for pestering her. She actually seemed human... but for all everyone else knew, this was the dark beforethe dawn. Nothing lasted forever.
