Dragonball: Unforgotten
Chapter Twenty-eight
Later ended up coming much too quickly for you. Between classes and Gohan practically cornering you when the classes were done, you had been given very little time to think over the situation. Your thoughts were still all jumbled up.
On one hand you missed being honest and open with people. You could at least not hide as much from Gohan. On the other hand because Gohan was Goku's son, you felt like you should hide the truth from him. And while he was innocent in all of this whole mess, just having him near hurt. You'd been mad at Goku for so long that it was just easier that way. If you were mad you weren't breaking down. If you weren't breaking down you could continue moving on. And eventually you could stop being mad at him.
Did you really want to drag Gohan into all your mess?
He didn't give you much of a choice. You'd tried to ignore him on your way to your locker. You wanted to put your books away. But lo and behold, wonder boy followed you. He was persistent just like his father. At least he wasn't asking embarrassing questions about sex. That probably would have sent you running for the mountains. And that would have been a problem seeing as he lived in the freaking mountains.
"Are you going to ignore me?" Gohan asked as he gripped his shoulder bag.
You turned to look at him and gave him a cautious look. "I'd been thinking about it. Haven't decided."
He seemed taken back by your honest. Gohan soon recovered as made a small noise in the back of his throat that you associated with some kind of acceptance.
"Why?" He settled on asking you.
"Because Everything is very complicated and messy. And you probably don't deserve to get tangled up in my mess Gohan. I've got a lot to sort out."
As you spoke you walked out of the lockers area and towards the front of the school. Gohan followed behind you even as you picked up pace. You felt him do the same and it was obvious that he was following you. What else was obvious was the fact that Videl Satan was following behind wonder boy.
And when he almost reached your shoulder to walk beside you, you started to jog. A smile twitched its way into existence as you heard him from behind. The faster you went, the faster he went. Like a game of cat and mouse or a weird sort of tag. It was actually quite fun. Unfortunately Videl had been let in the dust by the end.
As you stopped by a building on the other city, you could help but laugh. It felt nice to break loose just for a bit. Like the old times...which for you only seemed like a few months ago. Gohan watched as you laughed. He smiled nervously as he waited for you to acknowledge his existence. He shifted from one foot to another.
You stood up and smiled. "Catch me if you can Gohan."
Gohan readied himself. He smiled as he spoke out. "Alright. I have to warn you though. I'm pretty fast."
"This wouldn't be any fun if you weren't," you answered back with a smile.
You stepped back and started to turn around, pretending as though you were going to run. Gohan spread his feet as he got ready to take off after you. What you did surprised him though. You popped out of existence.
Gohan stared at where you had been with a look of disbelief.
You on the other hand went straight to your favorite donut place. You'd released some of your energy just so it would be fair. And you did it like flashing neon lights that only he'd be able to see. Once you were sure he had enough time to get the point you kept your energy low. Just enough to find you if he paid attention. You didn't want to bring the whole of Earth's special forces down on you for a game of hide and go chance after all.
Which Gohan was actually really bad at. Like wow. He took forever to get to you. You'd finished off your box of donuts by the time he arrived. It took you a few minutes to get why - he was running at a normal pace. Not a pace that was actually a challenge for him.
Licking the sweet remnants from your hand, you smiled at him. And with a wink, you were gone. Which baffled the one cashier who'd been people watching. Gohan groaned and started again.
It took him twenty-five minutes to break out of his shell and own up to his speed. Twenty-five. At which point you made sure you were actually outside of the city so that neither you or he made a rucess. And you let him catch you.
You turned around to look at the serious looking Gohan. What you saw surprised the hell out of you. His hair spiked up higher in a brilliant pale gold color. His once dark eyes turned a sparkling turquoise. And he'd gotten bigger, he was straining against the black vest that he wore. You gaped at him in surprise. Especially when the shift in his disappearance faded with the breeze.
"I caught you. Now will you talk to me?"
"First of all, I let you catch me. Second...what was that?"
Gohan blinked. "What was what?"
"Gold hair, blue eyes, and getting pretty ripped," you motioned around him as though that would help everything make more sense.
"You mean my super saiyan form?"
"Yes. That. What's that?"
Gohan stared at you as you give him an incredulous look. After about a second of realizing that you were serious he laughed.
"Oh man, I thought everyone knew about super saiyans by now."
You frowned as you stared at him. "I've been out of the loop."
"Yeah, I can see that. Okay, so how do I explain this...Uh, I guess once a saiyan or a half-saiyan like me gets to a certain power level, we can push ourselves to something more. We can become a super saiyan."
Huh, so that's what it felt to be Goku. You had to say, you didn't love the feeling.
"Okay," considering the fact that you had just seen it for yourself, it was hard to question him.
It just meant that there was another damned thing you hadn't known about your own species.
"So what's your name?"
You introduced yourself by your first name only. You figured out that it would be weird to give him either one of your last names given the situation.
"My name is Gohan."
You nodded politely as you waited for the bomb to drop. You could practically feel some merging coming. He was just trying to figure out how to put it into words. You bit your lip nervously as you stared up at him.
"So how'd you learn the instant transmission technique?" He asked.
Huh. That was actually pretty tame. Which was odd considering the fact that you expected him to ask an outrageous question like Goku would have.
"I learned it from my adopted parents on Yardrats," you told him honestly.
"Oh wow. My dad was on that planet a few years ago. Small universe."
Wait...
"What? Your dad was on Yardrats?"
That shouldn't have hurt. It shouldn't have. You had told him that if he didn't want to stay with you, that it would be okay. That you'd forgive him. There was also the factor that as far as you knew he didn't remember you. Even if he'd been there and by some miracle saw you, there was no chance he'd even have recognized you. So you shouldn't have felt like that was a slap in the face. But you did and it stung like a bitch.
"Yeah. A few years ago, almost ten years ago now."
"Oh," you said heavily.
Ten years.
You knew, logically, that a lot of time had passed. It just hadn't really sunk that far in. It wasn't like you had experienced very much time. Nor did you get to see anyone grow up to make it feel more real to you.
"Guess you didn't see him huh? Man he'd have loved to meet you. You're the first full saiyan other than my dad that hasn't tried to either kidnap me or kill me."
What an odd thing to say.
You tilted your head as you looked at him. "I'm not into killing but I could try the kidnapping thing. Did you want me to kidnap you? Would that make you feel better?"
Gohan smiled sheepishly as he looked embarrassed over the conversation. It took you a few moment to realize why that was embarrassing and a bit of an imagination stretch but when you got it, your face was dusted with a red blush.
"Did you want to come over? I'm sure Goten would love to meet you. And Vegeta! He's going to flip when he finds out that there's another saiyan alive. I don't think he likes to admit it, but I think he gets lonely. Gotta be hard you know?"
You nodded in agreement but was hard and you'd only known about it for the last few months. There was something so isolating about being a member of an alien race that was all but extinct. Which was funny considering the fact that all of your memories growing up were of being human. Most of them were lies...so that might be lies.
"So do you want to come over and meet them?"
"Go over to your house?" You confirmed.
"Yeah."
"No," you told him honestly.
Seeing Gohan was hard. Seeing a mini-Goku wrapped around the human woman that Goku had actually settled down with would be more than you could take.
"O-oh. Well maybe we can all meet up near here?"
"Gohan, I told you...my life is messy right now. I just — I can't handle that."
"What? Why?"
Before he had an answer you had popped out of existence and locked your power down wherever you were so he couldn’t find you.
