Chapter Eighteen: Don't Kill Me…
-
Gohan awoke groggily and looked down the bed only to see Videl yet again. He tried to tell what time it was judging from the two suns but just gave up on it. He hoped that they weren't late for supper… A light grumble came from his stomach which woke Videl up.
"Oh please…" She groaned to herself, as she was now used to the sound of his stomach echoing through the ship for all those weeks.
"Hey! I'm hungry!" He argued back lightly. He sat up and looked down at himself. He grabbed some of the new clothes he got which was a white shirt, a brown vest that tucked into his pants which were a dark blue. She looked over at him to see what he was doing.
"What are you putting that on for?" Gohan looked back at her as he was putting on his shoes.
"Supper." Videl rolled her eyes.
"I still can't believe how much you eat!" Gohan looked back at her and grinned.
"What can I say?" She threw a pillow at him when they heard a knock on their door. Gohan got up to answer it.
"Yes?" The guard glared at him lightly for no reason.
"I am to escort you to the feast." He said plainly. Gohan's eyes lit up.
"FOOD!" The cat winced slightly and he was able to hear Videl muttering something like 'I don't know him from this moment on…'
-
They entered the large room quickly. Videl's eyes looked around the area. There were so many different types of beings here. She wrapped her arm around Gohan a little tighter. She glared at him when she saw at how easily he took all of them in.
Than again he probably knew more about any of them did he about his classmates so…
She laughed a little at that. Gohan got along better in the middle of space than he did in the middle of gym class.
Looking around again, she noticed that some of them even looked liked Nameks. She looked over at Gohan who was engrossed in a conversation with an alien that had light yellow markings on purple skin. Videl tugged his arm lightly and Gohan looked over at her.
"What's going on?" Gohan looked at her blankly and shrugged.
"How am I supposed to know?" Videl looked at him and than brought her hand up to her forehead.
"He doesn't even know what's going on and he still…yeesh!" Videl looked back over at him and glared, leaving Gohan to stand there and wonder why.
Videl also wouldn't leave his side, considering the fact that she didn't know anything that was going on, or for that matter, anyone.
She was pondering about going over and meeting some of the other races females (she hoped) when one the guards ( another one) came in.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I welcome you to-" Videl zoned out it. It was only natural though, she went to so many parties that started like that with her dad, and were usually about her dad, that she got sick of it. Who could blame her?
She started paying more attention to her surroundings. She heard a knock on the window that not even Gohan heard, as he was listening with much interest to what the man was saying at the moment.
She moved over to it and looked out. She saw none other than Aisha.
"Aisha! What are you doing here? She grinned up at her.
"I was going to ask for some food…so…can I get some?" Videl glared at her but shrugged, seeing as how the girl started to cower away from her.
"It hasn't started yet, but I'll give you some food when I come outside say in…half and hour? As long as Gohan doesn't eat it…" She grumbled under her breath silently. The girl nodded and looked behind her.
"What are you doing?" Videl looked up quickly at her question.
"There are guards swarming the place. Talon is watching for them though, while I ask for food. Thanks! See you in a bit!" Videl nodded.
"Same to you!" She looked back and saw that Gohan was looking at her, noticing that she was gone. He nodded to her.
"I heard the end of the conversation, I'll try not eat it all." Videl blushed lightly and started to walk with everyone else into the dining room.
"Do you know what's going on now?" Gohan nodded.
"It's basically a feast in honor of treaty that was made a while ago. We were invited as they gave us clothes as guests." Videl nodded and took her seat by Gohan. The food was all set out, being done so while everyone was in the room when the guy was talking.
"As we are all here…EAT!" A small chuckle went through the guests. Videl looked at all the food and didn't have to slightest clue what was what.
"Um…Gohan?" Gohan looked over at her quickly. His plate already had about 1/3 of the food at his spot, which was okay. That's why there was more food in that spot than any other area on the table.
"Aahh I-gel?" Videl glared at him.
"Swallow." Gohan obeyed.
"Yea Videl?"
"What is everything?" Gohan looked at the food and than noticed that even he didn't have the slightest clue of what he was eating.
"Uh… Just eat Videl! You don't like it, you don't have to eat it!" Videl looked at the food, to him, than back to the food again. She put some onto her plate slowly, but than, remembering her promise to Aisha, put a little more onto it.
The night went on until Videl excused herself and Gohan. Gohan was literally ready to cry from being torn away from so much food.
"Beautiful…Beautiful food…" Videl rolled her eyes. She was able to use the napkin as a small pouch to hold food for Aisha and Talon.
Gohan kept his promise and didn't eat the food.
When they got outside, they started looking for Aisha and/or Talon.
"Where are those two?" Videl whispered. Gohan would have said something had Aisha not popped up.
"Right here! Did you get some food?" She saw Videl holding a napkin and grabbed ignoring manners and such all together. "Come on Talon! They gave us food!" The little fur ball came running up to them quickly and the two of them started to stuff the food in their mouths, leaving Gohan and Videl to wonder how they got this hungry in the first place.
A few seconds later the food was nearly gone. Aisha picked up something that looked like a cracker to Videl and split it in half, giving one to Talon. Aisha looked to her left quickly and saw something move. Her eyes widened.
"A guard!" The guard came out and Talon dissapearred somewhere.
"Those two! We've been trying to catch you two thieves for three years! Finally!" He pulled something up and pointed it at Aisha. Gohan was about to do something when Talon suddenly reappeared behind the guard. The fluff ball ran around the guards neck and shoulders, making sure he could see him. He then proceeded to knock the guard out by hitting his neck. The guard feel to the ground and Talon jumped off and walked over to the other three.
"What was that all about?" Videl asked. The two cats blushed lightly.
"Well…" Talon stepped in.
"We're semi-orphans…" Gohan looked at him questioningly. Semi-orphans? "Semi-orphans… we have our parents and live in the same house as them but they don't take care of us they way they supposedly should. They'll get us clothes if we're invited to a party and are encouraged to bring children or something, but beyond that, they couldn't care less about us." Videl looked at the sadly and stood up.
"I know how you feel, my dad is practically the exact same way." Gohan felt a little out of place, as his parents never took any of their attention off of him… Videl, Talon, and Aisha kept on talking, and ignoring Gohan's nervousness.
"When the guard goes back…won't that be ba-" Videl started, but Aisha took over.
"Don't worry about that. Nobody admits that they lost to Talon over there!" They could practically feel the pride coming off of Talon when she said that.
Looking around, Videl decided to bring up a different topic.
"Hey! Have you guys ever heard of…um…" She thought about it for a second and looked over at Gohan.
"What was my race called again?" Gohan bit his tongue to keep from laughing. Usually it's kind of hard to forget ones race…he did his best and came out successful.
"Ukiri-jins?" Videl nodded and looked at the other two. Aisha looked at her with wide eyes and mouth agape. She started to look back and forth between Gohan and Videl quickly.
"You-you…I knew I thought something was off! I knew something…something…" Gohan looked at her strangely.
"What's wrong Aisha?" She looked at him with watery eyes.
"You aren't going to kill me…our you?"
-
Polrei looked out the window. The days were coming quickly, and the day of dreams would finally come for him. He smirked slightly, remembering what that girl he had to live with was trying to do. Trying to take his rightful objects away from him, the very idea!
Live was going to see that he was the rightful being to hold the key of life, to protect it.
She had to give it to him, even in her grave.
He closed his eyes.
He was going to set out and find if Live was alive or not, before Tasy could do a thing. He went inside and started to pack his supplies.
The rules didn't say he couldn't.
-
Gohan looked down at the girl in shock.
"What?! Of course not! Why would I kill you?" Aisha tried to speak but was obviously to afraid to hardly even open her mouth. Talon again took over.
"Saiya-jins are known for their… fighting…and the Ukiri-jins record isn't that clean either as of late…" Videl looked at Talon mildly shocked.
"What…what are you talking about?" Talon sighed.
"A…a war is going on there at the moment…well…not a war, and not a battle but… something…" Videl looked even more confused.
"What are you talking about?" Talon shook his head.
"I don't know. I'm sorry I'm not much help to you but… Why…exactly are you wondering?" Videl looked at Gohan and then back to the little fluff ball.
"I'm…I'm half Ukiri-jin and Gohan's half Saiya-jin…" Talon didn't do anything for a long time but he still seemed to except it more so than Aisha.
"It's best that you're not on that planet than. I think that's the new law that's going through." Videl and Gohan raised their eyebrows. A law was making this much commotion on other planets? Weird…
"What exactly is the law?" Gohan asked. Talon was quiet again for a few moments before speaking.
"That there is to be 'no inner Saiya-jin and Ukiri-jin circles' or whatever. A lot of us here think that either one race or the other would try to force the other one off the planet but… They work off of each other no matter what. The Saiya-jins, protection. The Ukiri-jins, technology. Trust me, if there's anywhere you don't want to be, it's on Oiu-sei. The Ukiri-jins home planet." Videl and Gohan looked at each other. Both knew silently where the other wanted to go.
They looked back at Talon and Aisha.
"Thanks guys, that helped us out a lot." Talon nodded but Aisha was still to much in shock to do so. When they started to walk away a little more, she got some more of her bearings.
"Don't go off and get killed now!" Gohan nodded at her.
"We won't!"
-
When they were back in their room Videl and Gohan were silent for a few moments. Videl was the first to speak up.
"I want to go to Oiu-sei." Gohan nodded.
"I thought you would." Videl looked back at him.
"Can we?" He was silent for a few minutes.
"You know its suicide, right?" Videl nodded silently. He looked at her. "Why?" She took her time thinking up the answer.
"My siblings could be on that planet! …My mother could be on that planet…" They were silent again and Gohan spoke up.
"I'd like to know about Saiya-jin culture, hands-on anyway but…" Videl shook her head.
"Come on Gohan, you're supposed to take leaps in life!"
"Not if those leaps can kill you…" Videl rolled her eyes.
"Well, big strong guy, why can't you just protect me when we go there?" Gohan looked up at her again.
"Because I'm a half Saiya-jin going up against who knows how many full blodded Saiya-jins…" Videl looked at him confused.
"I thought you said being a half blood made you stronger…" Gohan nodded.
"It does, but still…" Videl sighed and sat down in bed, trying to not feel the hope that gathered up inside of her with out her noticing be crushed in seconds. "But if we're careful…" Videl's eyes lightened up. There's still hope!
