Chapter 2

Gohan awoke wearily as the rising sun crept threw his window shinning directly into his eyes. He slowly got up from the warm, soft mattress and rose into the cold air above. Then suddenly his peace was broken with his mothers shouts. "Son Gohan if you aren't up and dressed presentable by the time I count to ten i'm coming up there and my frying pan is coming with me."

At this Gohan experienced fear worse than when he first faced off against Vegeta and Nappa all those years ago, the only thing which seemed to be really dangerous to the strongest fighter in the universe was making its way up the stairs in ten short seconds. Moving faster than the human eye could see Gohan was running around his room collecting clothes and putting them on all the time his mother's voice echoing around in his head. "One…two…three…four…five…six…seven…eight…nine"

Chi-Chi brought her frying pan up above her head as she prepared to enter her son's bedroom and strike him relentlessly with the frying pan in her hand. She dropped the pan to her side when she saw the door start to open as Gohan walked out staring straight at his mother and daring the occasional glance at the pan in her hand. It took Chi-Chi a moment to take in her son's appearance he was wearing a pair of black lose fit jeans combining well with the light blue long sleeved shirt.

All of a sudden

--Clang--

Gohan now on the floor wandered what he had done wrong to deserve a hit from the frying pan. "Mum what did I do wrong I got dressed in nice cloths like you asked me to." Gohan couldn't bare glance up at his mother she was giving her a death stare which would make Vegeta want to run and hide behind Bulma. He was brought up to face her as her shrill voice made impact with his ears. "SON GOHAN JUST LOOK AT YOUR SELF." Upon being instructed by an infuriated hormonal pregnant woman he glanced up and down at himself and noticed why his mother was angry at him. He was dressed in nice clothes but it does help to have the clothes on the right way round the only item of clothing that seemed to be on the right way were his socks.

Chi-Chi only hear an "ah" come from her son as he took in his own appearance.

"Sorry mum I guess I dressed so fast that I didn't realise that I put everything on backwards." Gohan said while giggling every so often.

"It's okay Gohan but go get dressed properly we have an important day ahead of us." Chi-Chi stared at Gohan as he walked back into his room to redress himself. She made her way into the kitchen to finish preparing a breakfast which looked like it could feed a small army.

Gohan walked out of his room and was instantly drawn to the dining room table as he smelt his favourite breakfast pancakes with bacon, sausage and egg on a side plate. "Smells good mum. How long till its ready." He was slightly drooling as he walked into the kitchen and spotted the most heavenly sight for a saiyan rows upon rows of food.

Chi-Chi had noticed her slightly salivating son enter the kitchen as she started to dish up his breakfast. "It's ready now Gohan." As the sound of his mother's words Gohan jumped for joy as he dashed towards the food only to be stopped suddenly by a frying pan swinging round and hitting him in the face planting him successfully on his back looking up as the little stars ran circles around his head. Looking instinctively towards his mother he made sure to protect his head from any further blows. "SON Gohan WHAT HAVE I TOLD YOU ABOUT MANNERS." Gohan cringed as the words assaulted his sensitive saiyan hearing.

As Gohan lay there he knew his mother was waiting for him to respond, so he managed to say after stuttering the first few attempts "Err-uh-um. Ladies First." He asked pleading he had said the right thing and wouldn't have to suffer any more blows to his head. "Correct." Was all he heard come from his mother's mouth. Slowly but surely he stumbled back onto his feet, going back into is almost vegetative state at the sight of the glorious amount of food stacked in front of his eyes.

"Gohan…Gohan" Chi-Chi was trying to snap her son out of the state she had become accustom to having lived with two saiyans. Eventually she gave into the temptation and before Gohan could react.

--Clang--

He was on the floor again seeing stars. "Now when you get up I've already got my food the rest is yours." At the mention of food Gohan instinctively jumped up and ran and started pilling mountains of food onto his plate. After he had piled up enough food to quench his saiyan appetite he walked over to the table and started eating like only a saiyan could.

Chi-Chi sitting across from her son and looked at him and sighed 'He is just like his father' her thoughts were disturbed when Gohan spoke up "Mum why did you want me to get dressed nicely and this early I was hoping to do some training before the party." Gohan noticed his mother was staring off into space and wasn't responding "Mum…are you okay, you seem distant."

At the sound of her son's voice she snapped out and looked at Gohan. "Sorry son I was just thinking about how much you're like your father." Gohan face went suddenly from one of pure joy to one of sudden despair.

It had been 6 months since the cell games and still those memories of his father right before he transported cell away from the earth still plagued his mind and how he still thought he could do something to save him. He knew it was his fault that his father had died but it wasn't him who made his father stay in otherworld, he understood why his father did it, but he still held a bit of resentment to the decision he had lost his father because of it and his mother lost her husband. He longed to see his father again but knew it would be along time till his wish came true.

"Gohan I know what your thinking and don't worry you will see your father again." Her voice sincere and Gohan could tell that she was speaking the truth.

"Thanks mum you're the best."

"I know I am." A grin forming on her face as she spoke. "And the reason I wanted you to dress up is because you're going to take me shopping."

"Ahh mum you know I hate shopping, why do I have to go."

"Son Gohan do you expect a women who is six months pregnant with a half saiyan to go shopping alone." The shouts of his mother ringing in his ears he simply said

"Okay mum ill go."

"Good now were going to go to Satan city mall I want to get some more maternity clothes and a few clothes for your baby brother…" Not letting her son interrupt her she continued "And also didn't Lime and her granddad move to that city." Gohan simply nodded a yes. "Good then we can go see them too." As he heard he would be going to see his friend he suddenly went back to cheerful Gohan.

It had been about three months ago when Lime moved to the city with her granddad. He had decided that it would be better to open a shop there and also she could then attend school and make new friends. Gohan had been the one to help them move carrying all of there stuff between the city and the mountains and then taking them to their new home. That had been the last time he had seen Lime. She phoned him about once a week to catch up and talk about anything which came to mind.

"Cool thanks mum it's been too long since I saw them." His mother mealy nodded.

After they had finished there breakfast Chi-Chi went and got dressed. It took about fifteen minutes till she reappeared wearing a traditional dress and her hair put neatly in a bun. She looked at Gohan "Ready to go." She then started to head outside following shortly behind her was Gohan. "Mum are you taking the nimbus or do you want me to carry you." He got his answer when his mother shouted the nimbus and hoped on the yellow puffy cloud and took of, leaving Gohan behind.

The nimbus may have been fast but Gohan was faster and quickly caught up with his mother. The flight to Satan city taking about half an hour. They landed in a dark alley so to avoid any glares. The walk to the mall only took about 5 minutes. As they entered the huge mall they noticed a flyer stuck to the door.

'Satan's Tournament, A tournament dedicated to the Great Mr Satan, All fighters welcomed and people of all ages'

Prize Money

1st place: 5,000,000 Zeni and a chance to fight the champ

2nd place 2,500,000 Zeni

3rd place 1,250,000 Zeni

4th place 500,000 Zeni

To take place on the 20th December three weeks from now.

To take place at the location of the cell games.

Chi-Chi and Gohan were staring at the flyer for what seemed like hours but in fact was only minutes. Gohan's emotions were going into overdrive first he was furious at them holding a tournament for the clown, then upset at the memories dredged up by the flyer about his father.

"Gohan you're entering that tournament to win that money and give that oaf a good kicking." Gohan was shocked here was his mother the women who hated it when he would go off and fight instructing him to go to a tournament to fight. "Mum are you feeling all right I mean you usually hate me fighting, why are you now telling me to fight."

"I'm telling you to fight because they all worship the land that oaf walks on because he cowered behind a rock when you and your father fought against that monster."

"Okay mum and plus the money will help with the baby wont it."

"Yes Gohan it will. I'm not in the mood for shopping now let's go see Mr Lao and Lime." Gohan grinned widely as he found out that he would not be shopping today.

They made there way through the city with Gohan guiding them through the city to wear he remembered Lime's new house was. After about 10 minutes of walking they arrived at Mr Lao's shop/house and walked in and were greeted by the cheerful old man. "Hi Mr Lao."

"Hi Gohan and you brought your mother. How are you both?"

"I'm fine. Mum is a bit tired to you have a place where she can sit down."

"Sure follow me." He led them into the back room where there was a flight of stairs which took them up into the house part of the shop. "Here please sit." Indicating towards the comfy looking couch, Chi-Chi walked over and set her self down gently.

"So where is Lime it's been so long since we have seen each other." Gohan asked politely. "She should be home in a couple of minutes school has just finished and she should be nearly home. Just on cue lime walked up the stairs and into the living room where she notice Gohan standing there.

"Hi Lime its good to see you. How have…" Before he could finish his sentence he was caught in a death hug courtesy of the brown haired girl.

"Gohan I've missed you why haven't you been to visit."

"N-ne-need air." Lime instantly broke the death hug and let him catch his breath.

"So Lime how have you been."

"I've been well thanks. Schools been really boring I made some new friend's. You should meet them. We're meeting later you should come and join us."

"Sorry lime I would really like to but I have a party to go to. And i'm sorry i've not been round sooner i've been training a lot of late."

"It's okay Gohan we can get together some other time."

"I know I'm going to be fighting in the Satan Tournament in three weeks, why don't you come and cheer me on."

"Yeah that would be great, but there isn't going to be much of a competition, since you are the world's strongest fighter."

"I know but when I win I get to fight Mr Satan and get some revenge for what he has done."

"Okay and ill bring my friends along as well."

"Cool but remember don't call me Gohan."

"Oh yeah the wanting to keep your identity a secret thing. What shall I call you then."

"Erm-uh." Was all Gohan managed to stammer out.

"I know ill just call you 'The Gold Fighter' like everyone calls you."

"Yeah that will work." The two continued to catch up about what had been going on in the past few months until it was time for Gohan to leave and head home.

"Gohan" Chi-Chi turned to look at her son as she spoke to him. "Something Lime's granddad said got me thinking." Curious Gohan waited till he was sure his mother was waiting for him to ask. "What was it he said mum."

"He said that going to school has been really good for lime, she has made new friends and is doing really well in her classes. And I was thinking that maybe you would attend school sometime." They had just arrived in an alley way and flew off still talking. "I am not sure mum. I struggle to hide my powers when we go shopping but if i'm surrounded by people all the time it would be really hard for me. Maybe in a year or two when I can better cope." Gohan looked up at his mother and could see she was upset at his answer. "I understand Gohan at your age it must be hard knowing that you could do someone serious harm by raising a finger and it must be hard to handle that kind of power." She looked across to Gohan and could see he was clearly frustrated and not being what is considered normal. "Thanks mum, I knew you would understand, it's hard not being normal." Chi-Chi could see how upset Gohan was becoming all he wanted was to be considered normal. "Gohan you are the most unique person I know, you have a heart of gold, and you care for every living thing, that is one of the best qualities anyone could ever posses. And I wouldn't change you in any way." Gohan face lifted as he heard his mum's speech.

"Thanks mum. I accepted who I am a long time ago but it's still hard knowing that if people found out the truth they would think i'm a freak."

"SON GOHAN. Stop thinking like that you are not a freak you may not be fully human but that doesn't make you less of one." Chi-Chi was red with anger as her son seemed to hate who he was and what he was.

"Mum how did you get so wise." Chi-Chi laughed as she heard the compliment coming from her son. They flew the rest of the way home in silence.

When they landed outside of their home they checked the time it was 4 pm and the party didn't start until 7pm. Gohan decided he may as well see if Vegeta was us up for a spar before the party. "Mum can I go spar with Vegeta before the party and ill take my clothes there and get changed there." He asked with a pleading voice.

"Sure Gohan why not. I've got to head over early to help Bulma set up anyway, so we may as well go together."

"Okay thanks mum ill go change into my gi, then we can head off." Gohan rushed off to get ready for a good spar. When he came back they went out and took of yet again heading towards West City.

When they arrived at capsule corp they landed in the garden and headed up to the friends and family entrance. They got there and pushed the intercom button waiting for an answer eventually a voice came through. "Hey who is it." It was Bulma obviously working with the amount of time it took her to answer. "Hey Bulma its Chi-Chi and Gohan. I came to help set up and Gohan came to see Vegeta."

"Okay then come on in. I'm in my lab and will be with you in a minute and Gohan Vegeta is in the GR as usual, be careful he is in a bad mood."

"Okay thanks Bulma I think I can handle his mood." Gohan replied with a chuckle at the end. They both headed in Chi-Chi heading to the living room and Gohan navigating threw the maze of halls to the GR.

The red light was on which indicated that someone was occupying it, obviously Vegeta. Gohan opened the door without a second thought and walked in. He found Vegeta in the corner doing one fingered press ups. "Hey carrot top." Gohan and Vegeta had a certain relationship where they knew what aggravate each other making fun of Vegeta's name and hair was one of them. Vegeta simply answered with a glare and "Brat." The intensity of the glare increased as time went on until Gohan broke the silence. "So are we going to spar Veggie or what."

"Brat you're pushing your look. If your not careful ill send you back to mommy and she won't recognize you." With that they both took up stance. The battle of words over and the battle of fists about to begin.
