Chapter Opening:

Hey everyone! Got a few reviews to respond to this time! HURRAY!
First one from DGrooveyDude: I�m so glad you�re enjoying the story! I�ll do my best to keep all the chapters coming!
From Anon: Thank you, I went ahead and made the correction to chapter one. I just wasn�t quite sure on how to spell �にんじんの人� in English, hehe.

Chapter 4: Lying From You

Bulma woke up the next morning and got ready to begin her hours of boredom as she called it everyday having to pretend to make new inventions for the Cold Empire. She dressed and walked out of her room.

As she walked down the hall she passed Gohan�s room and a strange feeling came over her. Acting on a whim she punched in the code to open the door and walked inside. She slowly slid the door to the bedroom open while calling, �Good morning Go...� She looked around and noticed the room was well made and empty, ��han�� There was a note left on the bed that she picked up and read.

�Dear Trunks and Bulma. I�m sorry for leaving without saying goodbye, but there are a few things I still need to think of and figure out. Thank you so much for showing me all those things yesterday, I�m so glad that I got the chance to meet you. Hopefully we�ll see each other again. Again, please forgive my rudeness and cowardice. Sincerely, Gohan.�

Bulma shook her head, �Trunks is going to be so disappointed�� She took the note and left it in the living room, and headed out to her duties. She had a hard time concentrating on even the simplest of modifications and adjustments to an out of date design. She had really been hoping Gohan would stay with them�

Two hours later, Trunks was standing in Gohan�s room, clutching the note left on table tight in his hand. Shakily he put the note back down, �Well� that didn�t take too long� did it?� Trunks spoke aloud in a crackled voice. Trunks dropped on a chair, and thought in silence. He just wanted a chance to get to know him again� Was that still asking for too much?

Gohan shook the sleep from his head as the dome train made its way back to Cold Capitol. It was a really early morning train ride, and there was hardly anyone else on the train. Gohan kept noticing one of the older passengers of the train kept staring at him and it was giving him the chills. Gohan accredited it to the fact that he was still wearing the clothes Trunks gave him. They were comfortable, but he imagined they looked a little big on him.

It was a long, boring trip to take all alone. Barren wastelands were the only thing to see out of the window for miles. Gohan sighed as the landscape flew by. Gohan felt someone sit by him and whisper into his ear, �Don�t look so disheartened boy.�

Gohan looked back over at the man who�d been watching him for a while, dressed in a black suite and hat with a long beard and sunglasses, �Right�� Gohan dragged out.

�A young man like you has potential to do great things you know� make a difference in the world. So stop looking so helpless like that or you�re going to start attracting all us old fogies.�

Gohan blinked confused a bit but didn�t speak to the man again.

The train finally pulled into the station at Cold Capitol. Gohan jumped off almost immediately and disappeared into the crowd. That guy on the train sure was weird, kept trying to put his hand on his leg or touch him or something� Gohan shook his head and kept running.

Gohan never took the same way back twice. He ducked behind different sets of alley ways, taking the long way around tall buildings just to be sure no one saw him and followed him back to the hideout without him noticing first. It was afternoon by the time Gohan stood before the door the Rogue�s hideout.

Gohan used the knock code and the door slowly opened. The door guard looked at Gohan confused when he saw the clean clothes Gohan was wearing. �It�s me, and don�t ask�� Gohan stepped inside without any further hassling.

Gohan walked through the crowded living area that the Rogues called home. After staying just one night in the Capsule Corp, Gohan couldn�t help but pick up many different odors that radiated off of everything in this place. Cigarettes, drugs, among other scents Gohan couldn�t place lingered like a haze. He was kicking himself for �Capsule Corps sure was clean,� being his first thoughts back home.

He surveyed the place well before homing in on his targets. Walking across the room, getting various glances whether it was from the attention his clothes were attracting or if everyone thought he was supposed to be dead� he wasn�t sure. He snaked his way until he stood behind a certain table.

Rowdy leaned on the table, his head resting in his hands, seeming to be in some kind of funk, while Haru had his arm over Rowdy�s shoulder just rubbing it consolingly. Gohan took a seat on the other side of Rowdy, �What�s up with the long face?�

Rowdy�s eyes narrowed, and his spaced out look immediately hardened. Haru leaned forward to look around Rowdy as Rowdy�s own head turned to look.

�Heya!� Gohan said leaning back in his seat, one arm draped over the back and his legs crossed.

Rowdy blinked a few times apparently just to be sure he wasn�t imagining things, �Go� han?� he said meekly. Gohan smiled and nodded, �GOHAN!� Rowdy shouted as he jumped from his seat, tossing it over as he crushed himself against Gohan in a tight hug.

Had Gohan not had a good grip on the backing of the chair, Rowdy might have pushed them both off and to the floor. �Gohan!� Rowdy sniffled out again, �I� We thought you were dead for sure!�

�Is that all the faith you guys have in me?� Gohan pushed Rowdy off him enough so he could look down at his face, �I�m invincible remember?�

Rowdy smiled, still laughing lightly as he wiped his face.

Haru shook his head, �Dude�� He paused, �How the hell��

�It�s a long story�� Gohan nodded to him.

�I bet it is� And I wanna hear it all,� Gohan gave a crooked grin to Haru�s comment.

Once Rowdy got off Gohan and back in his own seat, Gohan took the liberty of reaching over and pulling Haru�s cigarettes from his pocket and lighting one up, then placed them back in Haru�s pocket, �Of course Gohan, if you�d like one, I don�t mind, not at all�� Haru said sarcastically.

�Didn�t think so,� Gohan said taking a big puff, and then quickly leaned forward coughing hard.

Haru and Rowdy looked at him strangely, �Are you alright?� Rowdy asked.

�Damn Gohan� I haven�t seen you do that since the first hit you took years ago,� Haru commented.

Gohan looked the cigarette over, it was a regular lite even� But his lungs were causing havoc in his chest after just one. How could he not be used to these after just a day?

Gohan�s head shot up as he remembered. The day before he was having issues controlling his strength because he wasn�t used to being at full power� After Trunks beat him up real good he ended up in that healing tank� it was filled with artificial DNA to restore his body. He absorbed it through every pore� so did that mean it even refreshed his lungs?

Gohan looked a little freaked out and put the cigarette out. �Dude what�s up?� Haru asked looking at Gohan concerned.

�Nothing�� Gohan settled back in chair, �nothing�s wrong�� Haru made a mental note but didn�t push further. �I�m hungry, I�m gonna grab some food,� Gohan got up and left to get something, he really was a lot hungrier than usual.

�Wow� Gohan seems� different�� Rowdy said watching Gohan walk over to the food bin.

�You noticed it huh?� Haru crossed his arms also watching.

�Do you think something happened to Gohan?� Rowdy asked worriedly.

Haru shook his head, �I�m not sure��
Gohan grabbed a bowl and poured himself some grains and gruel; amazingly he was in the mood for a ground sirloin sandwich. He shook his head from the thought. He took his food back over to the table. He wasn�t even aware of Haru and Rowdy watching him intently.

In the blink of an eye Gohan nearly inhaled the food he brought with him. He looked down at his empty bowl such shock, he nearly dropped his spoon. He had filled the bowl to the rim because he was hungry, and after engulfing the entire bowl he felt as if he barely had eaten anything.

Rowdy�s eyes widened, the hand motion blur alone had him completely confused. Haru couldn�t take much more of this.

Haru stood from his seat, grabbed Gohan from under his arm and dragged him up, �We need to talk, Rowdy, we�ll be right back.�

Rowdy nodded as Haru dragged Gohan away, �Alright��

�What the hell man?� Gohan sounded aggravated as he was being dragged away.

�We�re going some place private.� Haru opened up the bathroom and pushed Gohan inside, locking it behind them.

Once he was sure there was no one else using the baths or toilets Haru returned his gaze to Gohan for a moment. He was about to speak, but rethinking his position rested his forehead against his hand looking very contemplative. �Let�s try from the beginning,� he finally said.

The look on Gohan�s face was a sad hurt expression, �Please Haru� I don�t want��

Haru interrupted him sternly, �Gohan look� I already know you�re not� normal. OK?! I�ve had my suspicions honestly for over a year now. The way you always seem to know when trouble�s coming. Like it�s some kind of sixth sense inside you to feel out where things are, how close they are, how much time we have. Every now and then you�ve even been known to pull off some sort of impossible feat of strength even. And finally the run on Capsule Corp� When we were escaping and whatever it was tried blocking our exit, you were covering our flank, but in a burst of speed that was little more than a blur, you launched from behind us, flew past us, and tackled that guy right out of the way. I�ll get right to the point� Gohan� you�re not human are you?�

Gohan�s expression darkened� �I� I��

�Just tell me!� Haru demanded.

Gohan was deathly still for several long moments. His hands went to his waist, and he started unbuckling his pants, �What the hell are you doing?!� Haru�s eyes widened.

Gohan pushed his pants open just a little, and Haru saw movement from inside the zipper hole. Finally loose, Gohan�s tail unraveled from around his waist and waved freely behind him.

Haru�s mouth hung open slightly as he approached Gohan. The tail was long and bushy, not like the slithery or stubby tails he�d seen on most aliens. Haru slowly reached out and touched the sensitive appendage, causing Gohan to shutter slightly, �Sorry� I guess I should have asked first��

Gohan�s focus didn�t change, �It�s� ok��

Haru was still watching Gohan�s tail sway back and forth, �I can�t believe I missed that�� Gohan didn�t respond. Haru let out a deep sigh, �Well I guess this answers my first question� second is� what are you?�

Gohan�s jaw quivered a little, �I� I�m a halfer�� Gohan did his best to recompose himself, �I�m half human, and half another race called Saiyan.�

Haru cocked his head funny, �I�ve never heard of Saiyans��

Gohan shook his head, �It�s because my father was one of only four survivors of their race after Frieza and his empire destroyed their home planet. I� I only know what I remember my mom telling me I guess, but my dad and the three others came to earth a long time ago, at least thirty years ago now, to hide from Frieza. About ten years ago was when the Cold Empire had expanded enough to reach earth. My father and the others did their best to defend earth from him. But in the end they were just four against all of them. My mom says they killed thousands of Frieza�s men, but Frieza then killed my dad and the last of the Saiyans.�

Haru leaned back against the wall taking it all in. He didn�t pick up anything besides sincerity in Gohan�s voice, and what Gohan said actually made other things make sense. The old newscasts from when earth was first invaded were so confusing, but plugging in that aliens were already on earth, and defending it from whatever was coming made a lot of that fit together. �I�m so sorry Gohan��

Gohan looked up at Haru confused, �What?�

�So many things we said� still say� the way we generalize all aliens� I just feel like it must have been so hard for you� knowing you were even half alien, and listen to the rest of us talk about the loathing and such horrible things we would do to any alien. I never knew� I�m so sorry.� Haru hid his face in his hands, �No wonder you never thought you could trust us with this secret� you�ve had it bottled for so long��

The look on Gohan�s face still read confusion. His mind was trying to pick at weather everything was ok, or if he should keep his guard up. Haru picked out the tension that was still inside Gohan, �Don�t worry Gohan, this is our secret, I won�t tell anyone anything you don�t want them to know.�

Gohan looked a little more relieved, �Thanks Haru��

Haru laughed, �And to think all this time I thought you were always being so modest or skittish, you never wanted anyone to be around you when you were bathing or dressing,� Gohan blushed a little.

�Thanks for being such a good friend Haru,� Gohan finally smiled again.

Haru patted Gohan on the shoulder, �No problem, but seriously, you can zip up your pants now.�

Gohan blushed more and rewrapped his tail around his waist, and buttoned his pants back up.

�So you�re like a super hero in the making you know?� Haru said suddenly.

�What are you talking about Haru?� Gohan�s expression quirked.

�You know, half human, half alien, human looks, with super incredible alien powers, rising to save the earth from its oppressors!� Haru let out his full vision of Grandeur.

�Riiiiight�� Gohan said smirking.

Haru put his arm around Gohan�s shoulder, �But you�re going to need a super hero name, to protect your identity� How about Monkey Boy!�

Gohan pushed Haru off him and gave him a disapproving look.

�Sorry, bad name, but it�s a cool idea you have to admit!� Gohan nodded.

�Thanks again Haru,� Gohan hugged the slightly taller teen who hugged him back.

�Anytime bro, I�m here for you, and so is Rowdy.�

Just then there was a loud knock at the door, �Why the fuck is the door locked?! I need to shit! Come on!�

�Lovely,� Haru shook his head, and unlocked the door to let the poor bastard run to a stool as he and Gohan walked out.

The two found Rowdy still sitting where they left him, and went back to talking and spending their free time how they normally did.

Rowdy waited for Gohan to be distracted by something else before leaning over to Haru, �So what�s the deal?�

�He�s alright,� was Haru�s simple answer.

Rowdy shrugged it off. If Haru gave it the all clear then everything had to be OK.

Light�s out came around everyone made it to their cots to sleep. Gohan laid on his cot staring at the dark ceiling just taking in what happened earlier. He had two fears about his condition. One was that of course if the martial authority found out he was part Saiyan that they would hunt him and kill him along with everyone else he knows. His mom made sure that fear was well engraved in his brain before she died. The one he developed on his own later was acceptance. He thought if people knew he was part alien that they would see him as nothing more than those same martial authorities that treat the rest of them like scourge.

But Haru at least broke through that fear of his. He knew what Gohan was now and accepted him for it. And what�s more he knew Haru was right about Rowdy accepting him for it if he ever cared to divulge it to him. A lot of the other members of the rogues would definitely be questionable, especially the older ones. If they knew the truth, he knew a few who would probably even be willing to sell him to the Cold Empire. He cringed a little, but felt good that at least the ones he cared about the most were alright with him.

Gohan�s mind must have been going over things like that for a long time. He rolled over on his side and looked over the rest of the room. His eyes focused to the dim light as he looked in the direction of his friends� cot. Gohan couldn�t believe what he saw as his eyes widened, he quietly lifted his hands up to rub his eyes before looking again.

Haru and Rowdy were sharing the same cot, naked, and in a very sensual position. Haru was slowly licking and kissing his way down the smaller boy�s body. Rowdy let out very small groans of pleasure as Haru touched him everywhere. Haru�s hand glided ever so slightly over Rowdy�s very stiff member, further down over his scrotum, and down to the spot under that, enticing the boy to spread his legs apart.

Haru ran his other hand through Rowdy�s soft blue hair before leaning down and kissing him on the lips. At the same time, the hand between Rowdy�s thighs pushed a finger inside. Rowdy groaned quietly into Haru�s mouth. Haru ended their kiss and tilted Rowdy�s head to the side, nipping at his ear and down his neck. Rowdy twitched from the sensory overload, and Haru added a second finger to join the other inside him.

Gohan stared in amazement at what his friends were doing with each other. One of his own hands snuck its way down into his shorts as he continued to watch. Gohan felt a very erotic feeling swelling inside him as he watched.

Haru opened and closed the fingers he had inside of Rowdy in a scissor motion, working on stretching him sufficiently. Haru kept that up for a good ten minutes, slowly pumping, stretching, and feeling Rowdy from the inside. He pulled his finger out from Rowdy�s cavern, running them back up along his boyhood. He gripped Rowdy firm and pointed him straight up. Rowdy gasped as Haru began to swirl his finger along the head of his dick, rubbing in the precum that was constantly leaking out.

Haru kissed Rowdy once more on the lips, a feathery soft swift kiss, then positioned himself at the boy�s entrance. Rowdy nodded his approval, and Haru began to push himself inside. It was a slow process, Rowdy�s face contorted until the head of Rowdy�s dick pushed its way past his sphincter. Next he sucked in air as Haru slowly sheathed himself within him. Once he was inside, Haru waited a moment for Rowdy to get used to the feeling before going on.

Gohan slid his shorts off completely, and stroked himself slowly. He also used his precum as a lube to help slick his hand motion. Gohan couldn�t take his eyes away from what was going on now if he tried. He tried imagining what it would be like for someone to be doing what he saw to him. To his surprise, his mind�s eye showed Trunks staring at him lustfully. Gohan�s hips bucked at the mental image.

Haru started slowly thrusting in and out of Rowdy. He would slowly pull all the way out to the head of his dick then push all the way back in just as slow. The slow lovemaking pace was driving Rowdy crazy with desire. The two continued on with an occasional kiss for at least half an hour. It wasn�t until then that Haru finally began picking up his pace.

Haru began bucking into Rowdy faster and faster. Rowdy wrapped his arms and legs around Haru�s body and did his best to suppress any vocalizations of his ecstasy. After a few more minutes of this faster pace, Haru slowed again but would thrust much harder. A few more hard thrusts and he buried himself deep within Rowdy, spilling himself all over Rowdy�s insides with a suppressed groan.

Rowdy rubbed himself hard against Haru�s body, feeling Haru spasm inside him. Haru rested on top of Rowdy for a minute as his climax ended. He withdrew himself from his lover, and felt Rowdy�s still aching desire. He kissed Rowdy on the lips again before traveling down the panting body, until he was close enough to blow his hot breath over the boy�s drooling member.

Haru licked it up from base of the shaft to the head, and back down causing Rowdy to shutter. Now through with playing, he took it into his mouth and began sucking up and down the length.

Rowdy�s eyes squeezed shut again, his hands raked through Haru�s black hair at the same time his hips started pumping forward to meet Haru�s sucking motion. Rowdy wasn�t going to last much longer. His movements were becoming much more frantic, desperate even. Haru didn�t restrain, but allowed him to sate his need using him as the tool.

Rowdy bucked and squirmed and writhed on the cot for a few more minutes before he arched upwards, forcing himself deep into Haru�s mouth and releasing his essence inside. Haru swallowed it all as quickly as Rowdy shot it.

Gohan saw the whole thing and was violently stroking himself now. His own orgasm was close. Gohan couldn�t understand why as he was doing this the image of Trunks passed through his mind several times along with the hot scene that had just played out before him. Gohan�s breathing got ragged as he continued his self-ministrations.

Gohan was shocked from his reverie as he felt a hand encircle his own that was he was using to stroke himself, �Just do it, come on,� Rowdy whispered to him from where he was kneeling by his cot. Rowdy�s hand tightened on Gohan�s as it slid faster up and down Gohan�s hard dick.

Then it happened, this sudden warmth overflowed through Gohan�s body, and he shot glob after glob of semen through the air, most of it landing on Gohan�s face and chest. Gohan�s breathing was still labored as he slowed down.

�It felt god huh?� Rowdy asked him.

Gohan was about to answer when he heard more moans. It soon clicked to Gohan that the majority of the room was doing the same thing. Gohan�s mind was in a whirl as to why this was happening. That�s when it all came together; this wasn�t an unusual thing at all.

It was true; Gohan realized this kind of thing had been happening almost every night since the day he got here, and contributed to that other musky scent which radiated with the scent of smoke that constantly floated over this room. But before tonight� Gohan had always just ignored it, his mind refused to acknowledge what was going on before� was it� innocence?

Rowdy helped Gohan wipe up his mess, �Yeah�� Rowdy looked at Gohan funny, �It was� really good��

Rowdy smiled, �Good night Gohan.� He got up and went back to his own cot while Gohan pulled his shorts back up and rolled over to sleep. Gohan shook his head and laughed to himself; there really was no privacy around here.

It was about noon the next day Rowdy was following Haru around helping with their end of the group chores, �So do you think Gohan will join us next time?�

Haru dropped the trash bag on the ground and stared at Rowdy, �How many times are you going to ask me that this morning?! If you really want to know shouldn�t you ask him?�

�I would, but I don�t wanna freak him out you know?� Rowdy picked up the bag so they could keep walking.

�Well you�re freaking me out, what has you so excited?� Haru followed Rowdy who blushed a little.

�Well you see� I practically felt him up last night� and well� he�s pretty big!� Haru�s eyebrow twitched and he looked at Rowdy with a crooked expression. �Well� he�s definitely bigger than you anyway,� Rowdy blushed as he gave Haru a lopsided grin.

Haru was dragging Rowdy over to the trash bins now, �Little� horny� grrrr�� Haru shook his head.

As the two walked back to the base they noticed someone they�d never seen before standing outside with a strange device in his hands. The stranger kept moving the contraption around, pointing it at different places. He pointed it at the building the Rogues were based in and continued to approach it.

�Uh-oh�� Haru shushed Rowdy and the two continued to follow from the shadows.

The stranger made his way down the stairs to the front entrance of the base and knocked.

The guard recognizing the incorrect knock code ran over to the wall and flipped the switch. All the lights in the base shut off, and red ones came on taking their place. Everyone assumed emergency positions, quickly gathering up as much of their things as they could and waited for the escape sign.

Haru looked the stranger up and down; a tall teenager with dark clothes and purple hair. He was wearing a black jacket, and right below the shoulder on the sleeve Haru noticed a badge that he recognized as the Capsule Corp logo.

�Shit�� Haru said under his breath. �Rowdy, wait here.�

Rowdy stared at Haru confused as Haru left the safety of the shadows.

Haru approached the stair case, standing directly behind the stranger, �That�s a nice watch you got there,� Haru said making his presence known.

The stranger turned and looked up at Haru, �What about it?�

�Nothing sir, just passing by and saw the cool gizmo, so what�s going on?�

Trunks got the feeling this guy was up to something, �Nothing much, are you from around here?�

�Yeah, I am� Haru said sounding uncharacteristically cocky.

Trunks gritted his teeth a bit, he wasn�t liking this guy�s attitude, he knew something was up, �Do you know what�s inside this building then?�

�No clue, prolly a bunch of dusty boxes, no one�s owned this warehouse for years,� Haru said hoping to disinterest him.

Trunks laughed, �Perfect place to hide something then�� he said under his breath, just loud enough for Haru to hear.

Haru had his hand in one of his pockets, and in a quick smooth motion he pulled his hand from his pocket flinging some kind of powder at Trunks� face. Trunks yelled and started trying to wipe the powder from his face and eyes.

Haru used his advantage to jump in, take the tracking device right out from Trunks� hands and ran off. Trunks realized he�d just been mugged, and quickly recovered. He was able to open his eyes in time to see the Haru run off to the side of the building.

In a single jump Trunks was at the top of the stairs, and began pursuit.

Rowdy saw the guy jump from the stair well and give chase to Haru. Haru was still holding that guys computer looking thing. �Haru you crazy ass�� Rowdy stayed hidden but followed as well.

Trunks jumped and made a mid air flip, landing in front of Haru facing him. Haru skid to a stop, �Whoa�� he breathed out.

�Give that back,� Trunks commanded.

Haru gulped hard, �Make me!� He just had to buy some time�

Gohan almost had his things in his bag when he felt it, that barely noticeable familiar feeling. He looked towards the wall to try and feel better what was on the other side of it, �Trunks?�

Gohan pushed his way to the front of the base. It was fighting the current since everyone was trying to make it to the escape exit in the back. The gate guard tried to block him as he ran towards the door. Gohan fade from sight in a flash and appeared at the door behind the guard, pushed it open, jumped over the stairwell, and ran in the direction he felt Trunks in. He had the feeling something bad was going to happen if he didn�t stop it.
Haru pocketed the device he swiped, and got ready to fight. He knew he didn�t have any kind of alien strength, but he was still a good fighter in his own right.

Trunks knew this kid didn�t stand a chance against him, even with his power suppressed. He didn�t want to hurt him, but he seemed determined to keep his tracker for himself.

Haru made the first move and charged forward towards Trunks. He leap kicked towards Trunks� head. Trunks put up a hand and blocked the kick, and with but a twist of the wrist grabbed Haru�s ankle and tossed him up in the air.

�This guy is majorly strong!� Haru thought as he flipped to try and land without breaking anything.

�Look, just give it back and leave, I really don�t want to hurt you,� Haru looked at Trunks funny. No henchmen of the Cold Empire would let him go now without being put to death� was it a trick?

Haru wasn�t going to take a chance, he lunged again. Trunks sighed, he didn�t want to hurt him, but he had to end this. Trunks dropped to his combat stance and readied to deliver a punch to knock him out.

Haru saw things in slow motion. It was as if he suddenly wasn�t moving, but the guy he was fighting was coming at him full speed. His brain had just enough time to comprehend there was no way he could move his body to do anything about this.

Just as the impact was inevitable, inches away from Haru�s face, Gohan appeared between the two of them, catching each of their attacks in a hand, �Stop this now!� he pushed harder and separated the two none two gently.

�Gohan, what?� Haru and Trunks said at the same time. They stared at each other in confusion, but soon the confusion turned to the understanding that they both knew Gohan somehow.

Gohan turned to Haru first, �Don�t worry Haru, he�s not a bad guy.�

Haru nodded to him apprehensively.

Gohan turned to Trunks now and took a few steps over, �Trunks? What are you doing here?�

Trunks grinned, �Well, honestly I�m here looking for you, but the only way I could think to find you was to track down those tracking nodes that were stolen out of the Capsule Corps lab.�

Gohan slapped his forehead, �You can home in on those?� Trunks nodded.

Rowdy continued to watch everything that was going on, and he was genuinely confused out of his mind. Once second Haru is about to get his ass kicked, and the next Gohan just appears out of thin air like lightning between them, and now everything is almost ok� From the look on Haru�s face that Rowdy could make out, it was pretty obvious he was feeling somewhat similar.

Gohan looked over at Haru, �Hey, could you tell everyone that it was a false alarm, they don�t need to evacuate or anything.�

Haru sulked, �That right, they�re probably freaking out, ha!�

Trunks looked at them confused, �What?�

�You knocked on the door, that kind of sounded the alarm,� Gohan told him.

�Oh�� Trunks looked the building over, it was obvious to him now that this Haru was just trying to defend everyone from him.

�Once Haru gets back we can go somewhere a little more private,� Gohan looked over to the side, �You can come too Rowdy!�

Trunks turned around and saw another boy�s head just barely poking out from the side of a crate in a building�s shadow. �Geez, I�m getting sloppy�� Trunks shook his head.

�Nah, we�re just that good!� Gohan smiled. Rowdy finally came out from the shadows and stood at Gohan�s side. A few minutes later Haru came back behind them. �OK, I know a place we can go where no one will eavesdrop, let�s go.� Gohan lead the way down the alley ways of the city.

After a few minutes of walking, Gohan jumped over a tape barricade that marked the building they were entering as condemned. They climbed up the stairs to a higher floor before Gohan stopped and sat down, the rest following suit.

Gohan placed his attention on Haru and Rowdy, �OK� for what you�re about to hear to make any sense, I have to tell you what happened a couple days ago.� He looked over to Trunks to make sure he had his approval to tell them about a few things, Trunks nodded to him so he continued. �OK, well, the night we broke into Capsule Corp. the person who jumped in front of us while were trying to escape was Trunks here.� Trunks waved at the two who looked at him funny, �You guys got away, but Trunks caught me, and we had it out in a storage room there. Well after that whole thing was settled, I found out that Trunks parents, and my parents were best friends before the Cold Empire set in. I think you know what that means, right Haru?� The black haired boy nodded understanding that Gohan and Trunks were both of the same species.

�Trunks� family though owns Capsule Corp, and after our fight I learned something about the company.� Gohan made sure one more time that Trunks was OK with him divulging this secret to his friends.

Trunks found it interesting how Gohan didn�t mention he lost their fight that night. Realizing Gohan was waiting for his permission before saying anything more about Capsule Corp though, Trunks decided the two boys seemed honorable enough to trust and told them himself, �Capsule Corp. is actually only affiliated with the Cold empire on the surface. Underground we�re the largest anti-Frieza movement on the planet.�

Gohan smiled in thanks and continued, �They showed me this place where they have people training, and new weapons developing just for the purpose of liberating earth from the Cold Empire.�

Haru looked shocked. From what he�d heard Capsule Corp was a source behind much of the entire empire�s arsenal, �So what about all the weapons supplied to Frieza by Capsule Corp.?�

�Those are actually between five to seven years behind in development compared to what we actually have.� Trunks informed the two.

�Since I found all this out I�ve been doing a lot of thinking,� Gohan chuckled to himself, �Yeah more than usual� The thing is I know if my dad was still alive he�d be right up there with the efforts to free earth from all the wrong going on right now. Since he was raised with Trunks parents and all he would have been a big part of the resistance movement.� Trunks watched Gohan carefully wondering if Gohan was going where he thought he was going with this, �So you see� with everything that�s been going through my head, and even after our talk last night Haru� I made a decision this morning.�

Gohan sat down and got a little quiet as he spoke the rest, �I know I�m different, but after the time I spent at Capsule Corp, I know I�m not alone. Trunks here is even a halfer like me.� Haru nodded his head in understanding while Rowdy looked confused and was about to ask when Haru shushed him with a look that just said I�ll tell you later.

�So weighing all that out in my head I understood that I need to be where I do the most good. I need to do everything I can to help get the whole planet back on track. For everyone I care about and everything that is important to me I need to make a difference. The best place I can do that is with Capsule Corp�s underground.� Gohan looked Trunks seriously in the face, �I�m ready to enlist.�

Trunks was the one who looked confused for a bit, but then once Gohan�s words sank in he smiled and nodded.

�Can I enlist too?� Rowdy asked raising his hand.

Haru pulled his hand down, �What are you gonna do, pickpocket the alien warriors to death?� Rowdy groaned as the other boys laughed.

Gohan looked down at the floor, �But this means� I�m going to be gone for a while��

Haru stood and took a few steps closer to Gohan to place his hand on his shoulder, �We understand Gohan, you need to be where you do the most good, and that�s with them right now. Just promise you�ll come visit, ok?�

Gohan looked up and nodded at Haru through his smile, �Thanks Haru, and sorry for all the trouble lately��

�Don�t sweat it,� Haru grinned evilly, �Anything for Monkey Boy, savior of the universe!�

Gohan gave Haru a disapproving look, but couldn�t keep the stern face together for long because of how Haru was cracking up.

The four of them spoke for a while longer, Haru helped fill Rowdy in on the little �secret� Gohan had been holding for so long. Once Rowdy heard about �it� he wouldn�t shut up until Gohan finally showed him his tail also.

Rowdy was intrigued by it for a whole minute before Gohan finally put it away and tucked it back in his pants. Gohan didn�t notice Trunks watching his tail with great interest as well.

With a final goodbye, Haru and Rowdy hugged Gohan before he left with Trunks. The two sat on the dome train as it returned to West City.

�Umm� I�m sorry Trunks�� Gohan said after quite a bit of silence on the ride.

�For what?� Trunks looked at him funny.

�Well� for leaving so abruptly the other day, not letting you know or anything��

�Oh� that�� Gohan looked down at the floor, Trunks didn�t sound too happy, but quickly added anyway, �Don�t sweat it Gohan, I forgive ya! I know you were taking a lot of information in very quickly and had a lot on your mind.� He smiled to his young friend, �I am pretty happy still you decided to come back,� Trunks put his arm around Gohan�s shoulder.

�It took a lot of thought, trust me, but I think this is for the best for everyone�� Gohan looked very thoughtful. Trunks could tell there were a lot of things he was weighing in on his decision.

Trunks nodded to him, �Now that you�re with us though, things are going to be great, just watch! Things are going to change around here, and change for the better!�

Gohan smiled up at Trunks and nodded. He had a new goal now, and that was to train hard, and be ready to do anything he could to free the earth. He would work hard to be the super hero everyone needed him to be.
