Note from the author: sorry that I haven't updated for a while, but I had A LOT if summer reading…and if I stay in a certain class mix-up thing, I'll have to read ANOTHER! Let's put it this way…3 books: 91 pages of notes!
Chapter 5: Meet the Parents part 3
Also known as: are you a mutant? Or Brothers…what a great invention.
Inuyasha jumped out of the time traveling well, greeted by the soothingly clean air of the Feudal Era, his home. He ran at top speed over to the village. "Hey guys," he said to Miroku and Sango as he saw them exit Kaede's hut. "I have something to tell you," and he proceeded to tell the two about how he was going to America, and that he and Kagome were found to be mutants.
"When will you be back?" asked Miroku.
"I'm not sure, but it may be for a long time. But, because the jewel is finished, we won't have to worry about that. Nothing will happen."
"Good point. Just say hello to Kagome for us, will you Inuyasha," said Sango, hiding her grief of losing her best friend.
"Only if you tell Shippou and Kaede good-bye for me."
"Ok, Inuyasha. But, why don't you tell him yourself?"
"I can smell that Shessomaru is nearby…he may want an explanation as to why his only brother goes missing. Besides, telling Shippou that Kagome is gone will be hard, and as you know, I'm not too good with kids."
"Goodbye Inuyasha. Please return!"
Inuyasha reentered the woods and was met almost immediately by Shessomaru, his older brother. "How is it going, little brother?" Shessomaru asked in his usual cold voice.
"It was going great until about three seconds ago…but other than that, I would like you to know that I will be gone from here for a long time. People in Kagome's…area…have decided that we are both "mutated humans", and so we have to go to some special school, which Kagome says is 'so far west, that it is east' called America."
"They think you are a human?"
"No, a MUTATED human. They have special powers, and are on the run from the government. We're going to go because there are some other demons, and they seem to want us to go. Besides, it might be fun."
"Whatever. Just don't get killed. That privilege belongs to me, and only me."
"Ooooook. Just sign this paper, though I don't need it signed, really," he said as he handed Shessomaru the permission slip. As Inuyasha ran off, he yelled, "SEE YA LATER, FLUFFY!" and then jumped down the well to safety.
Kagome's house:
Jean had just finished explained Kagome's "condition" to her mom. Inuyasha ran back into the room with the permission slip, a visible smirk on his lips. Kagome could tell he had been laughing. "Here," he said, "is that permission slip. I got my brother to sign it."
"So, you have a brother?"
"Yeah, but I don't see him often. I was lucky that he was nearby today. Usually he is much farther."
"So, where's your stuff?"
"What stuff?"
Kagome cut into the conversation, "Oh, he has that stuff upstairs. Mom, will you help him get his stuff together?" You see, Kagome's mom had a little shopping spree for clothes for Inuyasha. He had more than enough clothes, and then some toiletries and stuff like that. She even got him a Game Boy® (or is it ©? Oh well.). Kagome got his stuff when she went to get her stuff. Jean handed them both a few capsules, which had empty suitcases in them, so that it wouldn't take up much room.
Gohan's house:
"Guys, my mom is a little crazy and very loud, so don't be alarmed…you'd be amazed how much louder she probably can get. Just ignore her if she says anything weird or offending…it is just how she is," Gohan said as they landed right outside his house in the mountains.
"Don't worry, kid. I've dealt with some loud people, as I think everyone has to at some time in their life. Besides, it' not like she'll be able to do anything."
"We can only hope," Gohan said under his breath as he opened the door. "Oh, hey Mom."
"Hey, there, Gohan. So who are your friends?"
"They are from the Xavier Institute, you know, the one that sent the letter."
"Oh, yeah. Are you accepted? I'll do whatever I can to make sure that my little scholar gets ALL the opportunities that he needs to get rich, famous, and grandchildren for me…"
"MOM!"
"Sorry, Gohan, you were saying…?"
"The school, is a school for…different…people. They say I'm a mutant," he said quickly and quietly, covering his ears for what followed.
"YOU are NOT a MUTANT! YOU CAN'T BE! HOW CAN MY PERFECT SON BE A MUTANT? Well, you must have gotten it from your dad's side or something; because I know I'M not a MUTANT! AND WHY do they think that they can just BUST in here and tell us that MY son is a mutant?" ((I know, I know, Chichi wouldn't overreact like that because she knows that he is half alien…but come on…if you were someone's mother, and he/she got invited to a mutant school for mutated people, you wouldn't be happy either. Besides, I had to have one parent overreact, and she was the only one who would.))
"Mom…MOM…MOM!" Gohan screamed to stop his mother, just as Goku walked in.
"Hey, Son, what is all the screaming about?"
"They say I'm a mutant."
"Cooooool. Does that mean you have even more abilities?"
"I'm not sure…I haven't felt any different, nor have I done anything new lately."
"Well, I'm sure it will come to you if you are indeed a mutant. If not, you still are special. Hey," he directed at the two leaders. Hiei and Kurama just looked passive, though in their minds they were communicating about how loud Chichi really could get. Goku continued to the two, "How did you guys find him?"
"We have a machine that picks up energy from all humanish beings. The regular ones are separated from the irregular ones. That is how we find our students," said Storm.
"Oooooohhhhhh. So that means that you don't look for mutant energy…you just look for "other" energy…I gottcha. Hey, Chichi, Gohan's as much a mutant as Trunks, Bra, and Goten, just stronger, and somehow the others are protected or something."
"Hey, sis I hear my name?" asked a hyper Goten as he came bouncing in the room.
"Yeah, Dad just said that you and I are the same amount mutant…just I'm stronger and you are protected from the mutant finding machine."
"Oh…I wanna be a mutant…with two heads!" and then he proceeded to run around the room with his head tilted all the way to the left, and he used his right hand as a substitute head on his right side, and started talking to himself.
"GOTEN! THAT'S RUDE!" Chichi yelled and hit him over the head with her…dun…dun…dun…frying pan.
Logan looked with mild interest as the poor boy stopped right before a second blow was issued. 'I would help, but this looks like a normal occurrence…no one would hit their child in the presence of company without doing it before.'
Gohan and Goku both flinched at the bringing-out-of-the-frying-pan-from-nowhere ritual.
Then Logan thought of something, "Hey, you said that he was as much of a mutant as you are, Gohan, so how can that be?"
"Well, he can do the same things I can…just weaker. So, he must be a mutant of I am one."
"Gohan, are you going of not?"
"Yeah, I'll go pack. Oh, and I don't need any capsules. A friend of the family works at Capsule Corp. Oh, and Goten, I'll need your help."
Gohan's room:
"Why do you need me to pack?"
"I don't…I just don't want you to bug them. You're already on Mom's bad side. By the way, on a scale of 1-10, how mad is she, do you think?"
"About a 6."
"I'd say a 7, but that may be because you weren't there when she yelled. That means I can leave in peace, as long as I promise to be good, and to keep in touch. But, if she gets over an 8 on the "Mother-Anger-Scale", she will still let me go, but I would hate to see your fate. Now, if you see her getting a rating of a 10, she won't let me go, and if she does, she will have made me almost deaf. I would hate to see Dad's appearance after that…"
"So, basically, watch the anger-o-meter?"
"Yeah," and with that, Gohan took everything in his drawers and put them in a suitcase, and put the suitcase in a capsule. He did that with everything in the room, and even his training gear. The only thing he left was his furniture and his bedding. In all, he took about ten minutes. Then, he heard his mother calling, so he answered and left the room.
Gohan's living room:
DING DONG"Who could that be?" Chichi asked to no one in particular. She opened the door, and there was Videl, Gohan's girlfriend.
"Good afternoon, Chichi, is Gohan here?"
"Yes he is, but he is packing for a trip."
"You mean he didn't tell me?" Videl asked, slightly hurt
"It just came up," she said to Videl, then she yelled in the direction of Gohan's room:
"Gohan, Videl's here!"
"Coming!" replied Gohan, and within twenty seconds, he was there, "So, what's up, Videl?"
"First, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THAT YOU WERE GOING AWAY!" she screamed, almost as loud as Chichi. Everyone looked at her, scared to hear how much louder she could get.
"Well, uh, I just found out. I was going to call you as soon as I could, honestly."
"Second, where are you going?"
"To mutant school."
"But you aren't a mutant, are you?
"No, but they say I am."
"Just because you can fly doesn't make you a mutant…if that is so, then call Daddy-dearest, because I must be a mutant too!"
"Wait a minute…you can fly?" asked a suspicious Logan.
"Yeah, anyone can. Watch," and with that, she levitated above the ground about three inches, then a few more, until she was a foot above the ground, "See, even I can do it. Gohan is an excellent teacher."
"That's impossible!"
"No, it's not." Videl said as she landed, "It's a little hard the first few times, but after that, it gets easier, until it is a piece of cake." Then she looked at Gohan, "So, are you a mutant or not?"
"Well, I could do things that you couldn't do if you tried. So, I'm more of a mutant than you, I guess."
"But are you a MUTANT?"
"No, you know what I am, and it is the closest thing to being a mutant, so in reality, I am technically a mutant, for everyone who knows anything about the recent developments knows that they get it from the father' side ((mentioned in X2)), so by those standards, I am a mutant."
"So, you are going?"
"Yeah. Don't worry, it's not like I'll die," then he whispered silently to himself, "again."
"See ya, Son!" said Goku, "Train if you can, and I'll let you know if you are needed."
"Okay, bye Mom, bye Dad, bye, Goten, and bye…" he kissed Videl on the cheek, "good-bye, Videl. I'll call you all when I get settled.
The group piled into the x-jet, and headed back to Tokyo, where they hoped to find the others.
Outside Kagome's house:
Jean, Inuyasha, Kagome, and Yusuke were all standing in a clearing, waiting for the jet to arrive. Jean was telepathically telling Storm where to land. All of Kagome's and Inuyasha's stuff had been put into capsules. The group was just waiting when…
END CHAPTER
Sorry about the cliffy, but I couldn't resist… you'll have to stay tuned and wait for my slow fingers to type another chapter.
A few random things:
Xavier is the name of the brothers (Xavieran brothers) who are big helpers at my school?
My high school has air-conditioning in only the cafeteria building, and Romuald Hall, all the rest are EXTREMELY hot.
My locker is a five-minute walk away from all of my classes…and we only have five minutes to be in class, or we get 3 demerits.
Anywayz, please R&R! I love feedback, just not extremely flamers. You can point out something I wrote, but I try to make everything have a purpose…it's just that I think differently.
