Now thing's will get more interesting.
The next week at school passed by really fast. Sharpner had made amends with Gohan, and now they could at least be considered friends. Videl had searched with all her resources to figure out anything about Gohan, but alas, she came up with nothing, but she refused to give up so easily.
Looks like I'll have to do this the old fashioned way. Videl thought. As she thought it through, she decided to put her plan in motion at lunch. Soon enough, lunch rolled around, Gohan always being a little later than the others for some odd reason; his hair still wet from the shower.
"So, Gohan, who trained you to fight?" Videl asked as casually as she could.
"My first master was a family friend, Piccolo. Dad wanted to teach me though." Gohan replied calmly.
"Why didn't he though?" Videl asked.
"Work related accident." Gohan lied smoothly. Videl didn't completely buy it, but she let it slide.
"Oh. What kind of stuff did he teach you?" she asked.
"The first few months all I did was surviving in the forest, increasing my speed, agility, strength, etcetera. Then when we got to the actual work, and being five almost six years old, it became ridiculously difficult. Piccolo was very strict and unforgiving. If he was teaching me how to dodge, I had to dodge his hand from grabbing my arm and throwing me. It was around this point in time that I decided to run away. Didn't work out in the end, and eventually I went back and continued my training, but still. And to think, it was all just the basics." Gohan laughed. The others just looked at him as if he were crazy.
"So what did your dad have left to teach you?" Sharpner asked.
"The more advanced stuff. Then later on they both taught me as a team. I had to learn how to dodge, kick, jump and block in one foul swoop." Gohan said, shrugging.
"So, I remember you saying that you had a little brother. What's his name and is he learning the same thing as you?" Erasa asked.
"His name's Goten, and he been learning martial arts from my mom, my dad, and me. Both he and Trunks like to train with me. They're hyper little shits, but it entertains the rest of us." Gohan chuckled.
"So you're training them both?" Videl asked, scooting a little closer to Gohan than he expected.
"Yeah, whenever my parents or Trunks' dad is busy." Gohan said. Before Videl could speak Gohan looked back and up. The others at the table looked the same direction and couldn't believe what they saw.
"Hi Gohan!" a little kid, on a cloud, with black spiky hair yelled. There was another on this cloud with him, a purple haired kid, light purple more like. The cloud descended until they were eye level with Gohan and the others.
"Goten, what are you doing here?" Gohan asked confused.
"Trunks and I were bored at home, so we tried going to his house, but still, bored. So we came here." Goten snickered.
"Oh he's so adorable!" Erasa giggled.
"You came to the wrong place for fun munchkin." Haru chuckled.
"Anything is better than chasing mountain lions." Trunks groaned.
"Yeah! After the sixth one, it's not so fun anymore. And when they give up, then it's really boring." Goten chimed in. Erasa, Videl, Sharpner and Haru looked at the two small boys in wonder. A phone went off and Trunks flinched.
"Something tells me that's my mom." Trunks whined. He ignored the call. Then Goten's cell went off.
"No." he whimpered, ignoring the call. Gohan's phone went off, much to the amusement of his friends and the despair of his little brother and friend.
"Hello?" Gohan said.
"At least one of my son's answers the phone! Is your brother there?" Chichi yelled. His friends winced at the anger in her voice.
"No. Haven't seen him." Gohan said coolly. It was quiet for a moment.
"Well, if you happen to see him flying by on that damn cloud please tell him and Trunks that if they aren't home within the hour, they get no dessert for a week. We're sending in Goku and Vegeta to find them on the new jets." Chichi said frustrated.
"Will do mom." Gohan said, sending a glare to his younger brother. They hung up.
"You owe me." Gohan growled.
"What did mom say about sending dad?" Goten whimpered. The sound of jet engines in the distance set them off.
"Better get going, dad and Vegeta should be here shortly." Gohan warned.
"Putting a mark so I know that I still owe you. How many times is this?" Trunks asked turning the little notepad around with the words 'We owe Gohan' on it and lots of little lines. Videl quickly counted them.
"Seventeen." She said.
"Great. That's probably gonna amount to his chores." Trunks groaned.
"Hit the nail on the head there Trunks." Gohan chuckled. The jets began to close in.
"Go." Gohan said.
"Ok. You're the best big brother in the world." Goten said as they zipped off on the little yellow cloud.
"Your brother and his friend are so freakin' cute!" Erasa giggled. The two jets stopped and hovered.
"Gohan, which way did your brother go?" Goku asked.
"No idea." Gohan said. Goku chuckled.
"Thanks son." He said as they flew off. Videl looked at him oddly.
"Why did your dad say that?" she asked.
"Because he's the only one, other than Piccolo, that can see through my lies. Plus, a small yellow cloud flying at four hundred miles an hour shouldn't be that difficult to find in those jets." Gohan chuckled. The bell rang and as they walked to class, Videl managed to slow the other three down. Gohan noticed this.
"Guys?" he asked.
"We'll catch up with you. Erasa thinks she forgot something." Videl said calmly. Gohan didn't even remotely believe her, but he shrugged and walked off.
You want her. His Saiyan side hissed.
Yes, I do, but I won't take her like that. There's something that's strangely familiar about her. Gohan thought to himself.
There should be boy. Vegeta growled to him mentally.
Oh really. Why? Gohan replied. As that conversation took place, another one did as well.
"Ok, I say we go to Gohan's house today. It's Friday so we can afford to be late home." Videl growled.
"Ok, but shouldn't we ask Gohan?" Erasa said.
"Well duh." Videl said. They managed to catch up to him in class. He looked lost in thought.
"Gohan." Videl said, waving her hand in his face. He flinched a little at the sudden movement.
"Hey, when did you guys get here?" Gohan asked.
"Just now." Videl said.
"Oh. I must've spaced. Anyway, I was wondering if you guys would wanna come over after school today." Gohan said.
"Sure, we were just about to ask you if we could." Erasa giggled. The classes began to fly by.
Remember child, if we want to know for sure, we need a good DNA sample. Vegeta told Gohan.
That's right son. While she's over, get to know her, make observations. Goku told him.
I can tell you two one now. She seems to have a sore spot on her back. Her tail bone. I see her always rubbing it and wincing at the touch of it, she doesn't even fully sit down, and she tucks one foot under her. Gohan said, glancing quickly at Videl.
Hmm...what are the Saiyans planning and how does Videl fit into all of this? R&R.
