Chapter 8

Three months had passed since the clones had showed up and everything was at peace Gohan was still training but in his new gravity room he was now training under 500 time earth gravity with the 10 ton weighted clothing Piccolo had given him. He was just finishing his 9056th sit up when his mum came in and the gravity switched off. "Hey son you have a phone call." Chi-Chi said with a weary voice, she was tired because she was raising a six month old saiyan who refused to sleep and never stopped eating. "Thanks mum." Gohan jumped up onto two feet and made his way out of the GR and headed to his house a hundred yards away. He walked through the back door and headed to the living room to pick up the phone. "Hello." Gohan said in an upbeat and jolly voice "How may I help you."

"Hi Gohan its Lime. Emma and Zack are coming round and we are going out and you're more than welcome to come."

"Thanks Lime ill have to clear it with my mother first. Give me a sec ok."

"K" Gohan put the phone on the table and walked to find his mother she was in the kitchen trying to quench Goten's hunger but she wasn't having any luck he was like a black hole he just consumed everything in sight, there were even a few bite marks in the table. "Mum I was wandering if I could go out and see Lime for the day." His mother turned from her cooking to look at her son and smiled and finally decided to speak "Sure sweetie let me just get you some money and you can go." Gohan was flabbergasted his mum actually agreed without even a mention of loss study time or anything. "Here you go honey 500 Zeni should be enough I think." Not one to complain about his mums sudden mood change he took the money said his thanks gave her a kiss on the cheek and hugged Goten narrowly avoiding the young demi saiyan attempt to chew his ear. He ran to the living room picked up the phone "Lime I'm back my mum said I can go when should I come round."

"Cool well you can come over now if you want to."

"Ok well shall we try that device Bulma gave me?"

"Ok now how does it work again?" Lime asked sounding somewhat confused

"Well the device emits a distinctive energy signal which I can sense and then I just use instant transmission and hey presto i'm there." Gohan explained

"I know that stupid I meant how do I turn it on." Gohan blushed he felt like such a baka.

"You just flick the switch on the side of one of the three legs."

"Okay its on can you sense anything." All she heard was the dial tone. "Gohan are you there."

"I'm here." Lime turned around and sure enough there was Gohan standing by the tripod like machine scratching the back of his head and grinning that famous Son grin. "You ready to go."

"Gohan at least tell me when you are going to do that so I can expect it. And yes i'm ready to go but what's that smell."

"Oops sorry I forget to shower you caught me in the middle of training. Give me fifteen minutes." Lime shook her head as Gohan disappeared.

"That boy will never change."

—20 minutes later—

Gohan reappeared by the machine in dark blue loose fit jeans and a plain canary yellow top with a black cedarwood jumper. "Hey Lime i'm ready to go now." Lime appeared from round the corner in a denim skirt with a white t-shirt with floral designs on and a black cardigan over her shoulders "I'm ready let's get going." She turned and strode towards the stairs which led down to the shop floor. She walked across the shop floor and went outside with Gohan quickly following behind her.

It was a quick 10 minute walk to Satan City mall where they met Emma and Zack outside the mall. "Hi guys." Lime said as she approached the two. Emma was wearing black skinny fit jeans and an aqua blue v neck t-shirt and Zack was wearing ¾ khaki shorts with a black t-shirt with a skull head with two guitar heads crossing below. "Hi Lime. Who is your friend?" Emma queried adding a mumble which she thought only she could hear "And is he single." With Gohan's saiyan hearing he heard every word she said and blushed at the last part of her sentence.

"Hi this is Gohan and Emma please don't grope he is a good friend." Lime said as she got closer to them.

"Nice to meet you Gohan. So Lime why so defensive are you and him you know together." Zack propped for information. Gohan was the first to respond when he blurted out

"What. Me and Lime you got to be kidding were more like siblings than anything else."

"Okay we get it now let's go shopping." Emma said as she thrust her hand into the air. Everyone quickly walked into the mall and Emma immediately dashed over to the nearest clothing store and started to browse through the racks of designer clothing trying to find a nice ensemble. She eventually had an outfit which she liked and went to try it on. During the time she was looking Zack had edged his way over to wear Gohan was browsing some jackets in the men's section. "Hey Gohan." Zack said with a happy tone of voice. "I'm Zack by the way; we didn't really get introduced properly before."

"Hey Zack it's nice to meet you."

"Yeah you to. So how do you know Lime?" Zack queried getting right in Gohan's face.

"We met a while back she use to live in a village near my home. Her grandfather owned a store there, I went to get some groceries and we ended up spending the day together and became good friends. How did you meet her?"

"I met Lime at school we had a few classes together and started to hang out in school after we found we had a lot in common we started hanging out outside of school as well." Zack answered and looked over in the direction of where the girls had disappeared to.

"So Lime time for some Q&A. Question 1. How did you meet Gohan?" Emma whispered so only Lime could here her.

"We met when I lived back in the mountains. He came to my grandfather's shop." Lime answered

"Okay next question. How old is he?"

"He is are age."

"Question 3. Why isn't he in school?"

"He lives in the 439 mountain region his closest school is like 500 miles away."

"Okay but why doesn't he fly to school."

"He cant fly he is too young you have to be sixteen to be able to fly."

"I know I meant why doesn't he fly himself."

"What are you talking about Gohan cant fly." Lime responded her voice cracking and panic beginning to set in.

"Don't play dumb Lime I may not look it but i'm pretty smart and observant. I know Gohan is the Gold Fighter from the tournament."

"What makes you say that." Lime said panic now completely set in.

"Well first is you only ever mentioned one friend from the your old village, second the resemblance between the Gold Fighter and Gohan is ridiculously close they could be twins if it weren't for the hair, eyes and the slight change in his facial features and last but not least they are both incredibly cute."

"Okay Gohan is the Gold Fighter, your right but please direct any more questions to him." Lime said with a sigh.

"Okay will do. Why don't you take Zack to the arcade so I can talk to Gohan i'm pretty sure he wouldn't want him to find out as well." Lime nodded in agreement and the two left the clothes rack they were browsing threw and went to meet up with the boys. "If you want to talk to him don't take him to the food court you won't get any sense from him. Unless you have a frying pan." Lime said with a smirk on her face.

The girls met up with the boys outside the shop. Lime was the first to speak "Zack come on were going to the arcade." She grabbed his hand and dragged him over to where the arcade was leaving Emma and Gohan alone. "So Gohan I was talking with Lime earlier and I figured something out about you." Gohan turned his head towards Emma and had a 'what are you talking about' face on "I figured out your secret Mr Gold Fighter." Gohan's face fell as Emma revealed what she knew. He was pulled from the little trance he was in when someone shouted. Gohan found out that person was Lime. Gohan rushed over to where Lime and Zack were to find two guys, one holding Zack upside down by his ankles while the other one emptied his pockets, with the job finished the one fishing threw Zack's pockets punched him once in the stomach and the other let him fall to a heap on the floor. The two turned their attention to Lime who was slowly backing up away from the scene. "Now it's your turn girlie." The taller blonde one said, the smaller but stockier brown haired thug snickered as he went to grab Lime's hair.

"Stop this now." Gohan's voice boomed through the mall as he walked slowly up to the thugs.

"Don't make me laugh your puny kid you couldn't hurt me even if I let you have one free swing." Gohan tried to hold in the smirk which was appearing on his face but failed. "What are you smiling about. Hey Brucie. Deal with this punk would ya."

"Sure thing Ashton." The tall blonde known as Brucie walked up to Gohan pulled his fist back and threw a punch fall on at Gohan's face the young demi-saiyan just let the punch come and when he felt it had gotten close enough he moved his neck so the fist soared past barely inches from his head. "That the best you got." Gohan said smugly. Clearly angered by Gohan Brucie started swinging randomly with anger hopping to get in a decent hit but all he his was air. After 5 minutes of constant attacking Brucie was panting. "Had enough." Gohan asked.

"Not even close." Brucie let out a low whistle and a crowd of about 10 17-20 year olds came from around the corner all looked like jocks. "Now you're in for it. Boys get this little punk." The crowd surrounded Gohan and they started to throw punches and kicks which Gohan easily dodged. When they finished Gohan yawned "Come on at least one of you should be able to hit me. I'm not even breaking a sweat here. But I guess if you weaklings can't hit me you have two choices either give my friend his money back and leave still standing on two legs or you can make me take that money and you can leave crawling." This clearly had the jocks scared the only one with a smug smile on his face was Ashton.

"Well I see you are very skilled young man so I want to test my skills against you but not here lets head outside where its more open." Ashton turned and began to walk outside. Gohan followed him outside.

Once everyone had made it outside Ashton walked round the corner, he pulled something from his pocket and waited for Gohan. As Gohan came round the corner Ashton launched himself at him brass knuckles. Gohan sensed him coming and thought he would scare him a bit; he didn't react and let the punch get within a few inches of his face when he raised his hand up and grabbed hold of Ashton's fist "Now that wasn't very nice was." Ashton shook his head and managed to squeak out a no before Gohan continued "Now let's go meet the others so you can give me my friend's money back okay." Ashton nodded as Gohan dragged him away. They walked round the corner where a crowd had gathered Gohan squeezed a little on Ashton's fist instructing him to talk "Listen up give the kid his money back." The gang of thugs looked at their fallen leader and Brucie with his head hung low fished around in his pockets and pulled all the money he took from Zack. Ashton continued and apologized to the group of friends before Gohan threw him over to wear the thugs had moved to. When their leader was back on his feet the thugs ran off afraid of what the demi-saiyan would do next.

Gohan turned to the group of friends he was with and asked "Are you guys okay." He spoke with sincereity in his voice.

"Yeah i'm fine. Thanks to you." Zack said while he clutched where he had been hit.

"Gohan." Emma said and continued when he turned and looked at her. "Can we please continue what we were talking about earlier I never had the chance to ask you some questions." She whispered so only she and Gohan could here. He answered back with a nod and looked over towards Lime and Zack. "Lime why don't you take Zack home he needs to rest up. Ill walk Emma back to make sure the guys don't go after her." Lime nodded and helped Zack to walk in the direction opposite from which Gohan and Emma were heading in. They had been walking in silence for 5 minutes when Emma spoke after finally getting all her questions in order. "First of you admit that you are the Gold Fighter." Gohan nodded. "That's so cool." Second what happened at the tournament when all those people attacked you?" Gohan was struggling to answer this he was sussed out as being the Gold Fighter but he didn't want anyone to know about his saiyan ancestry he hadn't even told Lime about the fact he is part alien. He figured best go with the truth. "Well apparently my fore fathers had done some dreadful things to his family and he had come to get revenge on me but when he saw I was stronger he called his friends to help him." Well at least that is close to the truth he thought.

"But what were all the explosions." Emma asked with a look of confusion on her face.

"They were what me and my friends call ki blasts or energy blast." The look of confusion on her face increased dramatically so Gohan elaborated. "Every living thing has energy within them and people who have trained learn to call out this energy and they can use it to form a blast of fly and do other things with it."

"Okay next question will you ever come to a public school I mean it's not like you can't travel fast enough. I mean how fast could you get to school from your house." Gohan pondered for a moment and answered "I could get to the other side of the planet in an instant. And at the moment i'm home schooled and the reason I don't go to school is because it is so hard to hold back all my power."

"Oh Okay but just think about it okay I mean it cant be healthy being on your own with no source of social interaction and as for holding back your power I mean you cant have that much or you would of fought cell." She saw Gohan wince and reach to his left shoulder as if he had just relived a bad memory. "You didn't fight cell did you." Gohan nodded his head slightly signifying she was right God was is wrong with me I try to keep my secrets secret and in one day I'm basically telling my life story to this girl i've only met twice. "Yes I fought him." Deciding from his initial reaction she didn't bring up cell anymore.

They walked in silence for another ten minutes when Emma stopped "This is me. Thanks for walking me back. I guess ill cya around." With that she walked inside. Gohan shouted goodbye and then decided to head home it had been a weird day and he was hungry for his mothers cooking. With that he raised two fingers to his head checked no one was around and when he was happy he disappeared.

Im sorry for this chapter. I had the idea in my head for about a week and I finished it then read it through then rewrote it then read it through again and rewrote it again and ended up with this. Please review and dont be afraid to be brutal.
