Chapter 5: Reflection and Sparring

Gohan was flying through the bright blue sky. He was going to go home, but then he remembered the promise he had made to go see Piccolo before he went home. He headed for Piccolo's waterfall, hoping to sneak up on his sensei and give him a good scare. He could use a nice spar too. It would get his mind off of that blonde jock-"Oh my Kami!" He exclaimed out loud. 'He looks just like one of Hercule's top students from the Cell Games, Caroni! Maybe that's his father!' Gohan was thinking about the Caroni-Sharpie situation so much that he lost track of where he was going and before he knew it he was at the waterfall, completely bursting his chance at surprising his sensei.

A low grunt was heard from the Namekian, indicating to Gohan that he was ready to hear his pupil out. "Stop standing around like an old man. You're still in the prime of youth." Piccolo grinned and chuckled to himself.

"Hi Piccolo. Today was an insaiyan day for me! I don't quite know what to think from having to hide my power from all the students at my school or the prejudice ones." Gohan huffed, remembering the other students that judged him only for the fact that he scored perfect on his exams. However, Piccolo 'accidentally' overheard this through their bond.

"Hey kid. It's that damn harpy's fault for making you study all that unreasonable crap before you had even turned ten." He smirked "I don't know how you manage to stay in the same household as her. She brings out that pan or she bites your ear off with a lecture. You must have some serious patience" Piccolo finished off with a frown

"Piccolo, I know she's mean at times and doesn't like you, but you can at least try to be a bit more nice to her." Gohan whined and looked at Piccolo with his pleading eyes.

"Damn it. Don't you fucking start making that face. You know what the face does." Piccolo started blushing and getting angrier by the second, but as Gohan made the face even more pitiful, Piccolo 's anger went down.

'That's right, Piccolo. The face causes you to go soft, considering I'm the only person who can break through your mental barriers that are practically made of diamond. That bond formed just after we brought you to life and actually figured out about it after we got back from the whole Namek thing.' Gohan laughed in his mind and could feel what Piccolo was just about to let up.

"Fine. I'll be nicer when I'm around the harpy but I still don't like and never will. Your mother scares the crap out of the strongest people in the universe, so I think that I have the right to dislike her...with hatred that could burn hell to the ground." Piccolo growled back at Gohan, who pounced Piccolo and gave him a great big hug. Piccolo tried to push the demi-saiyan off, but to no avail.

'Oops. I forgot you don't like skin contact. Gomen, Piccolo' Gohan said quietly as he pull away from Piccolo.

'It's fine kid.' Piccolo regained his balance "Well since you're here, you need to spar with me." Piccolo chuckled.

"That good. That's actually one of the main reasons that I wanted to come see you today!" Gohan exclaimed.

"Gohan actually wants to fight?!" Piccolo said sarcastically.

"Shut up Piccolo" Gohan retorted and started to power up.

'It's OVER 9000!' Piccolo yelled, causing Gohan to lose his concentration and fall on the ground holding his sides, dyeing of laughter.

'What...the...hell! Piccolo is actually funny?!' Gohan shot back taking deep breaths in-between each word. He knew this would piss off Piccolo, but he felt like he needed to anyway to get a good spar out of him.

"You do realize that the time is getting really dark, right?" Piccolo said, breaking Gohan from all of his thoughts.

'Oh crap;! I have to hurry up and get to the spar so I can get home! Mom would murder me if I'm not home before it gets really dark.' Gohan's face paled as the thought of the Frying Pan of Doom."Piccolo, I need to spar right now so I can get home!" Gohan yelled.

"Fine with me." Piccolo retorted.

He started to power up a ki blast, but Gohan phased in behind him and kicked his side,shooting him flying towards the ground. Gohan took that as a moment of weakness and flew below Piccolo, but Piccolo flipped around and punched him in the face, smashing Gohan into a giant rock that nroken into many pieces, which resulted in him being buried.

"DOOOOOOODGE!" Piccolo yelled. "Do I have to take you all the way back to your first lesson with me?" Piccolo asked, a smirk plastered across his face.

"Actually no, I don't. I have had my fill of dodging! That was horrible! I'm scared for my life now, all because you would hit me before you even said it!" Gohan cried in an overly dramatic fashion. "Seriously though, I hate that word. Probably the same hate you have for Mom..." His words dragged off as looked down at his attire. "Oh Kami, no!" Gohan's face changed to a pallor of death.

"What?" Piccolo questioned, taking that there was something bugging him.

"These are Mom's choice of clothing...She's going to kill me once I get home! They're all torn up.!" Gohan ran around in circles, trying find a solution, but nothing was coming to mind.

'Gohan! Calm your ass down!' Piccolo screamed, stopping the demi-saiyan in his tracks.

'What is it Piccolo?' Gohan asked. Piccolo could sense his pupil's distress.

'I have the power to regenerate clothing, if you remember the Cell Games.' Piccolo laughed slightly as he sensed the relief come off Gohan's shoulders.

'Arigato, Piccolo! Mom would kick my ass and I would die from the Frying Pan of Doom.' Gohan said, sighing. 'You remember how it looked, right?

'Who the hell could forget that? The pants did nothing but make you a walking highlighter.' Piccolo chuckled and zapped the exact same outfit he wore to school today. "You had better be off kid. The harpy is awaiting." Piccolo poked fun at Gohan.

"Thanks a lot Piccolo. You sure don't sound like a cute little flute to me." Gohan laughed and took off as fast as he could, listening to the sound of his sensei yelling and cursing his name to the wind. Gohan arrived at his house in about five minutes 'I'm just going to go inside, eat and tell Mom that my day was actually pretty good. Although I will have to leave out the part about visiting Piccolo' Landing in front of the door, preparing to be charged by his steamroller of a brother, but the attack never came. He slowly opened up the door and found his mother sitting on the couch and he walked over to her.

"Gohan! You're finally home!" Chi-Chi cried as she jumped up and hugged him. "Goten went over to have a sleepover with Trunks, so he's not here at the moment" she said, a bit too happily for Gohan's liking. "So how was your day?" She asked him excitedly.

"My day was pretty good and I-" he was cutoff mid sentence by the million dollar question.

"So when will I get my grandbabies?" she asked, her eyes sparkling like stars.

"Uh, Mom. I'm sure it will happen one day, but I have to find the right person." He said quietly while blushing.

"Well that had better happen soon because I can't wait to see them!" she sighed.

"Well, the day was rough, so I'll eat and go to bed early if that's okay." he whispered.

"Only if you promise me that you will find a suitable wife and start searching. Tomorrow." she said with a 'do-it-or-I-will-kill-you' tone.

"Of course, Mom. I will start the search as soon as I reach the city." He said as he walked past her, got a food capsule out and ate the five course meal in a few seconds. "Well, then I'll be off to bed!" He exclaimed. He made his way up to his and stripped down to his boxers and climbed into the bed. 'Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.' and with that, he fell off into a much-needed slumber.
