Chapter 5: The people of earth?
When they finally reached the bottom of the tower they were instantly rewarded with a senzu bean (Goku let Naomi fly down). As soon as Hideo swallowed the tiny bean he felt amazing. He could feel all the pain disappear in a flash and his muscles bulged slightly. Kaylynn felt the same way. It was amazing how much she could feel her strength change so quickly in just two days. Naomi landed safely on the ground next to her friends. Since she had already been given a bean earlier by Goku who felt Vegeta's tactics were a little to hard for his beginner. Goku had a sudden expression come across his face that suggested he had an idea. Him and Vegeta flew a little distance from them so there words wouldn't be heard and they seemed to be discussing something with great interest.
"So training with Goku isn't that bad huh?" Hideo sighed in anguish. He was certain the saiyan prince wanted him dead.
"Nope. It's actually kinda fun he's very supportive. I've already mastered the kamehamaema wave. Though it does get harder as time goes on."
"Ours gets tougher by the second. The bastard wants us to die I know it! Seriously good luck in two weeks I don't think I'd make it if I wasn't training with Kaylynn." Hideo said then was automatically shushed by Kaylynn.
"Would you guys quiet down I'm trying to hear what there saying!" Kaylynn whispered angrily straining her ears to see what her mentors were saying. So far all she had caught was "That's perfect." whispered eagerly by Goku. To her dismay immediately after she had gotten her siblings to stop muttering to themselves the two older saiyans made there way back to the group.
"Alright guys, Vegeta and I have a couple of errands to run. So, when I first trained with my master he had a task for us." Goku disappeared then reappeared about six seconds after that holding a stone that had his name scribbled on it with what looked like a permanent marker. He chucked the stone with all his might and it flew threw the air with great speed, through a brush of wilderness by the bottom of Korin's tower. Yet the three teenagers just looked at him with confusion.
"Should…should we throw one too?" Hideo asked and Goku laughed slightly Vegeta just smirked. "Find it." he stated simply.
"What?" Naomi asked. If he seriously meant the stone there was no way! It had to have been long gone by then.
"That's right. Master Roshi made me and my friends Krillin do the same test. Don't get me wrong, I have a bit more power behind my throw then he did, but the objectives the same. Whoever finds the stone first get's the rest of the day off. No, training at all." Goku's words were music to Kaylynn and Hideo's ears. After the intense amount of training Vegeta had made them go through a day without worry would be heaven. At Goku's word the three of them dove into the forest running as fast as there legs could carry them. Each determined to find the stone first. "Watch out for snakes!" they heard Goku call from a mile away. Though that was the least of there concerns. The three of them looked frantically for the stone. Hideo throwing normal ones out of the way as he went.
"There is no way! These freaks ask the impossible." he said. He had to have picked up at least fifty stones by that point.
"And bitching about it doesn't help you find it any faster!" Kaylynn yelled a few paces away from Hideo. She had found a creek bed that was full of variations of rocks. She threw them around her hands starting to peel and bleed from the jagged edges a few of them had. Naomi had no such luck either. It was a forest! Of course there were bound to be rocks everywhere. She stopped. She could have sworn she heard a twig snap in the distance. Of course the others paid no heed to her warning and were more concerned with there pursuit to find the rock Goku had thrown to pay attention.
Before she could realize what was happening she felt a gloved fist punch her hard on her cheek. So powerful it flung her backwards, her body crashing through trees as she went. She slid down the last tree hitting the ground with a thud.
"Naomi!" she heard Kaylynn call as she tried to get her senses back and her head to stop spinning after the sudden attack. She looked around for her attacker and was bewildered by the sight before her. It was the strangest creature she had ever seen. It was monstrously obese with pink skin and was wearing…a diaper and yellow boxing gloves? For a second she was convinced the hit had caused her to hallucinate. There was no way she was really seeing such a person!
"What the hell is that?" Hideo cried out obviously just as confused as Naomi. It's eyes were squinted and it was smiling. Yet Hideo didn't pick up any evil vibes from him. The Pink abomination banged it's massive fists on his chest and bellowed
"Buu!"
"Exactly what kind of creatures inhabit this planet?" Hideo continued to question. Talking cats and now what looked like a pink bubble gum man.
"Buu beat you up! Beat you up for ice-cream!" The monster announced. He didn't seem angry as if they had wronged him in some way. Maybe the creature lived in the forest and they had strayed a little to far into his home? Back on there home planet they had creatures behave the same way. Yet he was still smiling?
Next he launched himself at Hideo, for being so tubby he was quick. Hideo dodged but his fist still made contact with Hideo's chest. Making him double over in pain onto the ground. Even Vegeta's hits didn't prepare him for that. Kaylynn took advantage of Buu's back to her and as quickly as she could charged an energy attack and threw it right into the his stomach. It left a giant hole in the middle of it's torso. Which left Kaylynn in shock and her hands started to shake in terror.
"I…I didn't mean it kill it…" she panted. She had to have killed it, yet Buu remained standing. She watched as the missing parts of his stomach suddenly refilled with the same pink blubber that had once been there. "Owwie." he said rubbing his tummy. "That's not nice. I beat you up, you no beat me up!" He stepped towards Kaylynn.
Naomi flew back on the scene but the kick she delivered to Buu's head was ineffective and her foot sunk into his flesh. Hideo's efforts were also in vain when he punched repeatedly into Buu's back. He felt like his fist just bounced back off his fat!
Buu elbowed Hideo, kicked Kaylynn and threw Naomi off him. When the saiyan teens recovered they were dumbfounded on what to do next. He was completely unharmed bouncing around singing "Me beat you up!" over and over again.
"What's this guy made of?" Naomi asked aloud not expecting and answer. The brutes attacks continued and every counter they tried had little to no effect on him. As the fight continued all they could do was brace for Buu's next attack. I refuse to die this way Hideo thought angrily and for the third time in two days blood dripped from his forehead into his eye. Not by a pink infant freak!
"Wait guys!" Kaylynn said a thought finally occurring to her. "The only thing that seems to hurt this guy is our engery attacks. If the three of us hit him at the same time we may have a shot!" Thank God Buu appeared to be stupid and wasn't listening to her plan. Though in retrospect she shouldn't have shouted it at all.
"I'm up for it." Hideo stated. "Naomi?" he looked to her.
"Let's do it!" she called back. Kaylynn ran at full speed towards Buu followed by her siblings. When she got a foot from him she jumped into the air and landed just behind the creature. Naomi jumped to his side and Hideo stayed planted right in front of him. At the same time they all fired there strongest attack at him leaving a flash of mixed colored light illuminating the forest. When it cleared all that was left of Buu was little pink blobs spread around the forest. Kaylynn dropped to her knees and sighed. Thank God that was over.
"Well that sucked." Naomi stated wiping the blood off her shirt. Bulma would kill her if he saw her in such a state. Then all the little blobs on the ground started to move and they all combined in the same spot. Within seconds there stood the same Buu that stood there once before. Still smiling and singing. They felt a since of dread twist in there stomachs.
"Oh that's just not fair!" Hideo protested. Buu giggled and threw his arm straight up into the air. "I do that too!" he said and purple energy began to form into the creatures hand. Kaylynn jumped back onto her feet but was unsure what she was supposed to do to stop it. The energy he was gathering was massive and would be enough to due anyone of them in.
"That's enough Buu." she heard an unfamiliar gruff voice say and they all turned to the source of the new voice. There about ten feet from them stood Goku, Vegeta and an unusually hairy human that was standing there smoking a cigar. "Great Job now we can go for some ice cream like we promised."
Buu immediately stopped his attack and ran towards them giddily. "Yay Ice Cream. Yay Hercule." Buu cried. All they could do is stand there mouths dropped staring at there teachers for explanation.
"Congratulations you guys, You passed our test." Goku said gleefully making his way towards them. "We knew you wouldn't hold back if you thought your life was in danger and we wanted to see exactly where you guys stood right now. Amazing how much you improved in just a few days huh?" he said and he patted Naomi's shoulder. She still looked up at him in complete confusion.
"Speak for yourself. My rugrats have a long way to go if they ever plan on making something of themselves. Did you see how long it took them to even try using energy attacks? There's three of them for pity's sake." Vegeta said still standing next to the man named Hercule. He Didn't even look up.
"I hate you, you ancient prick." was all Hideo could say. Though it seemed he was right. His loving mentor was trying to kill him. Vegeta just chuckled and kept his head down.
"So…so we don't have to find the rock?" Kaylynn asked, becoming confused and angry at her teachers tactics as well.
"No," Goku laughed "Sorry it was just a distraction while we got Buu and Mr. Satan together. But my master did have me do that same test if it makes you feel better."
"Who is this guy?" Kaylynn asked eyes kept on the obnoxious man. He made a loud snort like laugh and walked up to her.
"Well you really must not be out of this world little lady, but I never miss the chance to introduce myself." he said stopping in front of her and flexed. "I am Hercule! All known to the entire world as Mr. Satan! And I am the earths champion." then he cackled yet again obnoxiously. Kaylynn raised an eyebrow then looked at Vegeta. He just shook his head as if to say not to believe a word this guy said.
"Um ok…so whose this other guy." she nodded at Buu.
"This is my best friend Majin Buu, he's not from this planet either. Were an awesome team at the world martial arts championships aren't we Buu!" Mr. Satan continued. And Buu just nodded. "Goku and Vegeta are old friends of mine and asked if Buu could help whip you kids into shape and I agreed. Buu here is damn near indestructible, so I wasn't worried about it."
"Hercule can we go get Ice cream now plleeeaaase." Buu whined. Indestructible was right. A low move on Goku's part but luckily they weren't in actual danger.
"It's ok Hercule. We have to meet up with Dende anyway. Thanks for everything" said Goku. "Gather around me you guys."
And in an instant they were somewhere new. It was like they were on a platform that was floating in the sky! There was a row of four trees on either side of them and a beautiful temple, shining with a gold roof and towers right beside them. Kaylynn wasn't sure what they for. Though the weirdest sight was the small and taller aliens before them. They looked like they had just came from a bad sci fi film. Typical green skin, pointy ears and antennas.
"It's about time." Piccolo gruffed smirking at Goku.
"Blame the kids. If they had any talent we would have been here hours ago." Vegeta yet again put his pupils down causing Hideo to stare at him angrily.
"Why are we here?" Kaylynn asked getting sick of there surprises.
"If you are going to be the new saviors of this earth there's still a lot you need to know. Before we do that we want Dende here to check you guys out. He's a real good judge of character." Goku indicated to the smaller alien.
"Of course, anything for you Goku." the alien known as Dende said walking towards them. He was wearing white and red robes and carrying a staff.
"Okay, seriously exactly what kind of people live here?" Hideo asked. Now he had seen all kinds of variations of people. "We were told humans were the main inhabitants here, and I have seen more aliens then humans on this planet thus far."
"We hangout with an unusual bunch." was the only explanation Vegeta offered. Then Hideo felt Dende's hand placed on his chest open palmed. It startled him and he had to restrain himself from punching the small ailen.
"This will take just a second." Dende explained. Hideo didn't feel anything. Nothing about him changed. For all he knew Dende was just touching his chest. After a few minutes Dende let go. "I see." was all he said. Then he turned and made his way towards the girls. Kaylynn made a confused expression at Hideo and all he could do is shrug. It felt like Dende had done literally nothing.
"You were right Goku. They are all pure. There intentions are sincerely just to become the best they can be." Dende said smiling and the confusion continued.
"What did you do? I didn't feel a change at all?" Naomi asked despite Goku's look of happiness.
"It's hard to explain. I just read your souls. I can bring out people's potentials and seeing who you really are on the inside is a part of it." he turned his eye to Vegeta. "But it was insisted you earn your strength."
"Now we can trust you." Piccolo said. He seemed to have a harsh tone every time he spoke just like Vegeta too. Then he started to explain that this planet was the home of something called the Dragoballs. They all sat in a small circle Indian style on the white tiled floor of the lookout hanging on every word Piccolo was saying. From what Naomi gathered when all the Dragonballs were together a dragon would appear and grant you any wish you wanted. It sounded like a fairytale. The mere concept of having everything you wanted in a matter of a few seconds was mind blowing. Though strategically a horrible way to draw intergalactic people to there peaceful planet. Besides Goku's select group of friends any other decent power level she felt was inadequate in comparison.
"So, your telling me if all of these…ball things are gathered into one spot, you can get anything you wish for?" Hideo asked his head filling with an abundance of money and pretty girls. Of course that would have to be long after he actually earned his power.
"That's right. The power originated from Dende and my home planet of Namek. To make a long story short we ended up on this planet and earth had shared in that power ever since." Piccolo explained. They wanted to sit and learn more about these mystical artifacts and all about the way planet earth ticked but Vegeta was getting irritated at how much time they had spent not training. After there goodbyes and Goku's promise they'd visit again soon yet another fun filled day of training would continue. Kaylynn felt her stomach tighten. The well…somewhat relaxing day was just a tease to what the night would bring she could feel it.
Later Bulma had sat the three of them down in the kitchen. Goku was kind enough to instant transmission Naomi over for the occasion. She could really tell the difference in the teens states. Sure Naomi looked exhausted, breathing heavy and wiping sweat from her brow but when Hideo and Kaylynn entered the kitchen there clothes (which were freshly changed when they first came back from there little adventure) were drenched in sweat and blood and you could just see they complete and utter pain on there faces. Both carrying a dry towel with them into the kitchen hoping to wipe the blood from there faces and body in the brief pause Vegeta permitted.
"You needed to see us Bulma?" Hideo asked throwing his now also soaked towel onto the clear kitchen floor. Bulma kinda twitched at that moment decided to let it go. The poor boy was having a hard enough time with her husband he didn't need a lecture about hygiene.
"Yes," she continued. "I was wanting to talk to you guys about your tails…is there a…moon on your planet?" Bulma tried her best to be discrete. She knew poor Goku never remembered what happened to him any time he looked up at a full moon when he still had his tail. She never wanted to be the bearer of bad news to him and she sure didn't want to be for these kids.
"We are fully aware of the form our bodies take when the moon is full if that's what your asking." Kaylynn answered knowing what she said may have came off as rude though she wasn't trying to be. She had gotten a cold bottle of water from the refrigerator and rested it on her forehead trying to cool down though all it seemed to being doing was giving her a head ache. Which only added to her frustration. No wonder Trunks seemed to avoid the gravity room with all his might and only talked to her and Hideo when they were in passing. Probably gave the kid post traumatic stress.
"We are in complete control as the ape. In fact as long as you let us know when a full moon is supposed to occur, all we have to do is not look at it and that will stop us from changing."
That was a load off Bulma's mind, now that she thought about it since there home planet was mostly water they probably had a full moon more often then they did. Though there was still a matter about the topic she wanted to discuss.
"That's great. Though you know, I can remove those for you if you wanted. You'd never believe the kind of freaky stuff I have had to for this silly little team we have. When Trunks was born I removed his when he was just a baby so I'm sure with you guys it would be just as easy. You would fit in more without having to hide it and now that I think about it Goku and Vegeta seemed to get a lot more power once they were removed. Without having to worry about them as a weakness."
"You don't say." Hideo thought outloud. Then the kitchen was filled with silence. Each of them pondering there own conclusion to what Bulma had proposed. Naomi sipped at the water she had gotten trying to break the silence. She hated silence.
"Sure Bulma. Count me in. This thing seemed to have lost it's usefulness after we were kids anyway. I'm ok with saying goodbye to it forever." Hideo said then he turned to the others. Naomi nodded
"It does seem like the best solution. No need to draw anymore attention to ourselves. To be honest I didn't much care for being in ape for anyway." she said. Nothing like feeling your chest slowly start to cover in long beast like hair to make you feel like less of a woman. Though Kaylynn was the complete opposite.
"No thank you. I was born this way so whatever obstacles, that come from having it must be what I was meant to endure. I may not know exactly where I came from but I am proud to be different from any other race in the galaxy." she said still not looking up from the table the water bottle had become luke warm at this point.
"Are you sure?" Bulma insisted.
"Yes, but thank you for your concern Bulma it's appreciated." Kaylynn said and finally looked up giving her a smile. Well two outta three isn't bad Bulma thought then looked up at the clock.
"We should have time to get it done tonight. School doesn't start for another ten hours." Then it all hit them. Going to school was the last thing on there minds after the days of hell they al had endured.
"School?" Hideo asked he had a feeling he wasn't going to get any sleep tonight either. Bulma chuckled.
"Don't tell me you guys forgot already? Don't start pouting like I said it's only three days out of the week. Trunks and Goten have to go five days. I know none of you are interested in becoming scientists or scholars but everyone needs a basic education. Also do you guys know how to read and do math, stuff like that?"
"Well were actually pretty good at math seeing how our space ships alone ran on coordinates that we had to type in and all kinds of other things but…we can speak in the common tongue our parents taught us that. As far as reading the written language I'm afraid we have no clue." Naomi said she felt her cheeks getting red from embarrassment once she saw Bulma's disappointed expression.
"Well, that's ok I already made up a bogus story that you three are foreign exchange students from a different country. So I will call early in the morning and get you into easier English and reading classes. I'm sure they will understand."
While Hideo and Naomi were prepping themselves for surgery, Kaylynn found herself confused on what to do. Trunks was already sound asleep and the only other person awake was Vegeta who hadn't left the gravity room yet. She was half afraid to go in there considering training with him alone was probably more intense then with Hideo and she wanted to get some sleep before her first day of school (which Bulma kept reminding her). The unfortunate thing was she was still wide awake. Her curiosity got then better of her and she re entered the gravity room as soon as the door swung open the gravity returned to normal. She saw that Vegeta was lifting one of his weights and it almost slung out of his hands during the sudden change of gravity barely kept hold of by his finger tips.
"I was beginning to think you had run away." Vegeta stated gruffly and dropped the weight on the floor. He leaned over slightly to look behind her. "Where's your brother?" It had been decided to refer to them as siblings. They were raised together and for all they knew they really could have been.
"Bulma wanted us to have our tails removed. Hideo and Naomi are in her lab getting ready for the surgery."
"Hmph. I was wondering when she was going to start bugging you about that. Why aren't you with them?"
"I told her I didn't want the surgery." she said studying the man's face. He was so hard to read, he had the same angry tone all that time and she had yet to see his face soften to a genuine smile and not a sarcastic smirk.
"Good. I'm glad one of you cares about your heritage. Mine was taken from me." There it was the topic that had brought her back into the gravity room though she was afraid to ask. He was the only Saiyan alive that could answer her questions. They sat in silence for awhile Vegeta pondering on having the girl do training on her own was even worth it in the short time they had.
"Vegeta…what was our home planet like?" Kaylynn asked only to be answered by silence again. She was afraid she may have brought up a bad topic to him and instantly flushed. How stupid could she be? He was alive when the planet was destroyed and for all she knew watched it happen. He knew people who died that day, friends and family. She knew she should have just kept her mouth shut. Vegeta's expression still remained the same. Truth was he hadn't thought about his home planet in decades and no one had even bothered to ask him before. Kaylynn sat on floor with her head down. Ashamed at the probably horrible topic she had brought up. She was lucky if she wasn't thrown out of his home in general. Then she felt him sitting next to though he never turned his face to meet hers.
"The sky was blood red." Vegeta recalled. "But it wasn't as gruesome as it sounds. The red actually left you with this warm feeling every time you looked up at it. It made you feel safe. There wasn't that much technology outside the palace and most of the villages that surrounded it lived in houses that were hand made. We didn't have grocery stores or anything fancy like that but anytime one of us was injured we had the medical supplies in the galaxy. We took care of our kind." he paused and faced Kaylynn finally. Her deep violent eyes begging for more. This was the first time he really looked at her. She was beautiful despite what he told himself. A lot prettier then any of the other saiyan women he had remembered seeing. He shuddered at the memory. A few of them were even more muscular then he was. Not her. She had a females shape. Enough tone to know she was a fighter but nothing more. Her raven hair and monkey like tail was the only real attributes that suggested she was a part of the saiyan race. He continued pushing he new found thoughts in the back of his head.
"Everyone knew there job and had a purpose. There were arenas built everywhere for entertainment. Winner's of the tournaments got money or higher ranks in our army. The gravity was heavier which gave us an advantage when we invaded other planets. No real greenery besides our trees. We had a lot of tree's that bared many variations of fruit. I'd pick from the one's outside the palace every morning and bring them to my mother for breakfast, she didn't care for the meat as much as our fruit. We were happy." he finished. An old wound and hatred for Freiza stirred in him. Though the villian was long dead and wouldn't pose anything of a threat to him now. He only wished the beast would have lived long enough to see him and his strength now. After the countless years of being put down and used by him.
"That's all I remember. I was a boy when the planet was destroyed and taken from my family before that."
"It sounds beautiful." Kaylynn said her eyes not leaving the prince. When he spoke his voice was a lot softer then normal. It was a nice change. "I'm sorry if I brought back any painful memories."
"Please." Vegeta scoffed. The quiet this time wasn't as uncomfortable. More like an understanding silence. Many moments past without a word then Vegeta felt an added weight on his shoulder. He looked to see Kaylynn's head resting on his shoulder. She had fallen asleep and her body had went limp his body being the only thing holding her up. He felt his cheeks get warm, wait what did he care? Sure she was an attractive girl but she was his student and not all that but a lot younger then him. Not to mention the hundred of other things that was wrong with the situation. He gently lifted her up and carried her into her bed room laying her on her bed. She still laid asleep. Her bangs messed up on his face. He took off his blood stained glove pushed them out of her face. She stirred but didn't wake. Her face was warm and her skin was soft. A tiny smile occurred on her face at Vegeta's touch. He felt himself smile back. Then he shook his head and retracted his hand. What was wrong with him? He left the room and closed the door behind.
"Stupid girl." he muttered as he went.
Tired and sore Hideo made his way through the busy halls of Satan high school. They had endured two classes so far and the day seemed to drag on and on. It was nice to be out of there martial arts clothes and into something more casual. The girls were wearing tank tops and jeans and of course Kaylynn proudly wore her pink earrings still. He on the other hand had a plain red t-shirt and leather jacket. He thought he looked rather dashing. Girls seemed to think so too, cause anytime he broke away from Kaylynn and Naomi a few more would pop up and talk to him. It had been happening all day even when he was hanging out with Trunks and Goten. It was nice to not be around girls all the time since he was raised with two of them. Everyone seemed to be friendly until…
"Well hello there Hideous." male voice called Hideo rolled his eyes and shut his locker. He had been wondering how long it would take for someone to mock his name. He turned and saw four guys standing a few lockers over from him. The one that had called out to him was wearing a flannel jacket and a blue baseball cap.
"How do you like the school mister exchange student? Or do you even understand a word I'm saying?"
"He probably don't speak English Jet." the guy next to him said snickering. Hideo was confused as to why they were teasing him when there were hundreds of freshmen kids running around and would obviously be easier targets. He decided to just ignore them unless he was provoked again. He made his way past him.
"Hey Hideous I'm talking to you!" the boy called Jet said grabbing his shoulder to stop him from walking away. Hideo shrugged his shoulder away with ease.
"Fuck off." he said continuing his way to his next class. Jet and the others ran in front of him. Hideo rolled his eyes. Not this.
"Now that's not very nice. I'm going to have to teach you some manners foreigner." Jet punched Hideo with all his strength in the face. Hideo didn't so much as move. Just smirked. Yet another lesson he had learned from his teacher. Jet pulled his fist back shaking. His friends behind him started to back up slowly.
"You have no idea." Hideo said still smirking. And pushed him down with one hand. The cocky kid went flying a few feet from Hideo, his ball cap slung off his head and landing somewhere in the hall. Though there were at least fifty other kids witnessing the crowd became dead silent. Hideo in his anger began to form an energy attack in the palm of his hand. The students gasped in shock for none of them had ever seen anything like the small beam in Hideo's hand before. Hideo felt a strong grip on his wrist and immediately stopped forming his energy beam. He looked up and saw Trunks standing before him.
"Now Hideo you know fireworks aren't permitted inside the school! I know your excited about having them since they don't make 'em in your country but we will let some off when we get home I promise." said Trunks laughing and patting him on the back. Hideo gave him a confused expression.
"Nothing to see here guys sorry about the confusion." Then Trunks roughly dragged Hideo outside where they could talk alone. He seemed angry and panicked. "Look Hideo obviously no one has told you but humans aren't as powerful as you and I are so you have to not use your powers at all here understand? We could get everyone in a lot of trouble if we do."
"Oh…I'm sorry." Hideo said still somewhat confused on what had happened and how he was supposed to act around people now.
"It's ok, just like I said don't use hardly any of your power around humans ok?"
After his talk with Hideo he made his way to his real target. There he saw her, taking a drink from the water fountain. Kaylynn was so beautiful and obviously getting a lot of attention from the other guys in the school he had to make his move now before it was to late.
"Hey Kaylynn." he said in his smoothest voice.
"Oh hey Trunks what's up." she said wiping her mouth of some of the water that remained on her lips. Suddenly he grabbed her hand and held it in his.
"Listen a lot of people have been asking who you were and how I knew you…and I…I told them you were my girlfriend…is that ok?" It was slickest way he could think of asking her without getting the guts to ask her straight out. She blinked at him and raised an eyebrow.
"Um…I guess so?" she said. She didn't really see why he would have to ask her if he told people they were friends.
"REALLY?" he said. Trunks seemed to have an excited tone now. "I'm so relieved to hear you say that. With us not being able to spend that much time together so far I was worried you didn't feel the same way." His hand was still firmly holding hers.
"Well sure Trunks." she smiled.
"Great, um hey listen I have to go to class before I'm late but I will see you at home ok?" he took her hand and gave it a kiss that bewildered her and ran off. About that time Hideo and Naomi had found her.
"What was that about?" Hideo asked watching Trunks run down the hall.
"I don't know…he started acting all funny and asked me if it's ok if he told everyone I was his girlfriend." Kaylynn said shaking her hand oddly at the weird affection. "What do you think that means?"
"I'm not sure? I have like four or five girlfriends just today. Every class a different girl would as if they could be my girlfriend? Especially after my encounter with that Jet guy? This planet is so bizarre."
"I know. Maybe on this planet instead of saying just friend you say the gender before that." Naomi deduced. "Like Kaylynn would be my girlfriend and you would be my boyfriend!"
"Oh I gotcha, and I better be your boyfriend after all the stuff we have been through." Hideo said smiling. Kaylynn made her way to class. And Hideo and Naomi walked to there class together. Goten saw Naomi and decided to talk to her.
"Oh hey Naomi, what's up?"
"Nothing really, just hanging out with my boyfriend Hideo." she said and continued walking. Goten's mouth dropped.
"But I…I thought he was your brother?" Goten said though no one heard him. In that second all his hopes and desires were dashed.
