Training With Piccolo.
"Hey Piccolo!" Gohan cheerfully said as he entered the kitchen. Piccolo was just outside the sink window, leaning on the house. The green Namek just grumbled out "Gohan".
Gohan hopped through the sink window and leaned on the wall next to him, mimicking his posture.
"Are we gonna train today?" The young fighter questioned.
"If your mother allows it" Piccolo replied.
"I'm sure she will, Mum has been more lenient ever since…you know."
Gohan saw his mentor's composure soften, Piccolo turned his head to the side his gaze softening as he spoke. "About that… how are you feeling?"
Gohan stared out into the forest surrounding the Son home. Finally he spoke "I keep thinking this is just a dream". "I always thought nothing could stop him", Gohan waited for a reply, his eyes never leaving the beauty of the forest.
"We all did, Gohan". Piccolo replied in a gruff tone.
Gohan was about to reply when he heard his mothers voice calling out to him.
"Oh, there you are Gohan" Chichi poked her head out of the kitchen window.
"Mum, I was wondering if me and Mister Piccolo could train?"
"Don't call me that". Piccolo growled out. He hated how he called him that.
"Sure you can Gohan, just be back by ten in time for lunch!"
She didn't have to say it twice, she took another look outside the window and just managed to catch a glimpse of their Ki trails fading into the sky.
"That boy, He's just like his father" she chuckled to herself.
Two Hours Later...
Gohan lay sprawled out what was left of a field,He was covered in cuts and bruises but he didn't mind, Piccolo made sure that he was conditioned to the point where barely felt pain.
Puffing heavily he finally mustered the strength to speak."You cheated Piccolo!"He shot an accusing glare at his was kneeling on the ground a couple of meters from the young saiyan. "I warned you Gohan" he calmly retorted."YOU GRABBED MY HAIR!" Gohan shouted back.
"Hair is a weapon against yourself Gohan, How many times have I suggested you cut it? and with that length your only asking for trouble,Imagine if an enemy grabbed it" Gohan opened his mouth to retort but Piccolo cut him off "You have to learn the Me or any other of the Z Fighters won't always be there"
Gohan didn't reply.
Piccolo smirked at his victory when Gohan spoke up. "So is that why your bald Piccolo?" Gohan couldn't contain the laughter as he saw the vein in Piccolos temple throb in annoyance.
Man I can't imagine Piccolo with hair!
Images of Piccolo with various hairstyles crossed his mind. Gohan couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Alright that's enough,lets go home".
When Gohan and Piccolo arrived home they didn't expect Chi Chi to be frantically pacing outside the front door. They landed next to her noticing the worried look carved on her face.
"Thank Kami you two are back" she sighed out in relief.
"Mum whats going on?" Gohan asked
"Wait, You don't know? I thought you two would've been there already" It was now Chichi's turn to look at them like they were insane.
"What's going on Mum?" Gohan question the worry in his voice rising.
"Gohan, South Island city has been attacked".
Not really much I could change when I was editing this chapter.
Next chapter is going to be much longer than these past two.
