Hello! There I was, again, thinking of a Dragon Ball Z story I could eventually write. Here it is! Gohan has a twin sister... Strong and gorgeous! They are going to high school... And... There are tragedies that came into their lives...
PS: Sorry for grammar and spelling mistakes along the way.
PS2: Hum... Not sure about making Videl and Gohan a couple... It's just that... I never REALLY saw sparks flying between them, so I don't really consider them to be a good couple to work with. Sorry for the G/V lovers.
PS3: Romance... I need to get Leena (Gohan's sister) a good and nice guy... Hum...
PS4: Occasional and light swearing.

Chapter 005: Hidden lovers
Leena and Videl worked all afternoon and a little into the evening on their paper, stopping, finally, at about seven thirty. When the Son girl took her partner to the dining room, they found all of the other Son members already there, including Gohan, plus the Briefs family, with Briefs - san also there, plus... Marinne.
"Hey! Guys, this is Videl. Videl, meet: uncle Vegeta, who you must've seen at school, daddy, whose name's Goku, Gohan you already know... And Marinne... That's Goten, out little brother, that's Bulma, of course, Trunks, Bulma and uncle Vegeta's little boy, and that's Briefs - san" - Leena quickly introduced them all. Videl smiled to them all and sat down.
"So, Videl, Leena, how's your paper going?" - Bulma asked.
"Very good" - Leena replied, smiling.
"We've got so much more to do, still..." - Videl complained a bit.
"So do we" - Gohan said, smiling happily. Videl blushed hard.
"You've already gotten yourself a friend, Leena! That's good!" - Goku said, his mouth stuffed.
"Yeah! It's really good, daddy!" - Leena replied, cheerfully - "And nii - chan has got himself a friend too!"
"Yeah! And a pretty and smart that is!" - Goku said, smiling broadly to Marinne, who smiled sweetly back.
"Yeah right" - Vegeta mumbled, annoyed. Marinne glared at him, but said nothing - "What, bitch?"
"Nothing, shortie asshole"
The two stared at each other, glaring violently. Their auras were strong and constant, ready to fight at any given moment. A wrong word said could make them get into a fierce battle.
"Now, calm down, guys!" - Bulma said, lightly - "Marie, don't fight Vegeta... It'd be useless. And Vegeta, stop harassing the girl" - the two shot her blank glances, but kept their silence. Gohan smirked to himself.
>Why won't people just let me take shortie down?! Fuck, damnit!> - Marinne thought, angrily.
>Stupid little fucking girly bitch. Wanna fight? Let's. I'll be more than willing to break your neck> - Vegeta thought darkly.
>Dende, please don't allow them to get into a serious fight... Or any kinda fight for that matter, please, I'm begging you!> - Gohan screamed mentally, Dende sending him a loud laugh back. Gohan sweatdropped - >Damn you, Dende>
>Tomorrow we'll go visit Dende and Mr. Popo! Yes, yes! We haven't seen them in so long!> - Leena thought, happily and cheerfully. She looked at Marinne, glaring at Vegeta, and smiled sweetly - >Nii - chan has a girlfriend! He was kissing her and everything! But... Wait a minute... I was kissing Kevin - sensei... Wonder if that means I'm his... And he's my...> - she kept herself from blushing - >Kevin - sensei...>
After dinner, Gohan decided to take both Marinne and Videl home. Smiling knowingly, Leena simply nodded and said he should take Videl first. Blushing slightly, her brother agreed and took off.
The ride was awkwardly silent, with Gohan blushed the whole time, Marinne looking at the landscape, as usual, and with Videl feeling like the third wheel, as she gave the boy the directions to her house.
>Kami, could this be any more embarrassing and awkward?!> - Videl thought, blushing harder as she saw Gohan blushed.
>Videl's kinda weird... Wonder why...> - Gohan thought.
They arrived to Videl's house quickly, though it seemed like an eternity.
The girl thanked Gohan and ran to her house.
Gohan still took a while to take off.
"Aren't you going?" - Marinne asked, annoyed. He turned to her and smiled softly.
"Yeah, yeah, ma'am" - he said in a mocking tone. She glared at him, but said nothing, and the boy took off.
Through a window, Videl watched Gohan's look as he looked at Marinne, who glared at him but had a certain glow in her eyes, nonetheless.
>They... They look... In love...>
Already knowing the way to Marinne's house, Gohan didn't take long to get there, and the girl didn't feel the need to talk to him. So, they spent the entire ride without saying a single word to each other.
Gohan parked the car in front of Marinne's house. Once the other night he'd been... Rather 'busy' to actually notice the girl's home, he decided to do so at that very moment. And he was quite surprised.
Videl's house was big, with maybe fifty rooms, but Marinne's was just as big, maybe even more, and looked much more beautiful and cozy. He smiled softly and turned to the girl, that, for some reason, hadn't gotten off yet. He smirked and caressed the back of her head.
"What?" - she snapped. The boy thought her attitude to be adorable.
"Nothing..."
"I'm going, so..."
"No, no, you're not"
"What?"
"Not before I kiss you"
"Good night" - she tried to leave, but Gohan, smiling, held her and pressed his lips against her own; she didn't fight back.
They kissed for several minutes until Marinne suddenly pushed him, and turned her head slightly. Gohan moaned a bit, almost whining.
"Mario" - Marinne said dryly. A shadow appeared by the gate of the girl's house.
"Sis, who's with ya?" - Mario asked, slyly, a smirk on his lips, his arms crossed.
"No one" - was the girl's embarrassed response. Mario raised an eyebrow at her, and Gohan hid a glad grin.
"Right... Well, 'No One', I'm Mario, Marinne's older brother"
"I'm Gohan, actually, very nice to meet you"
"Ah... So, where do you kids know each other from?"
"School" - Marinne mumbled, blushing.
"I see... Well, if the making out session's over, then get inside. Kevin's got somethin' good to tell us. Probably 'bout his new girlfriend..." - he trailed off, glad to see his sister blushed and Gohan embarrassed.
"Fuck off, Mario!"
"Yeah, yeah... I'll be inside, and ya better get there soon too, sis, 'cause otherwise... Well, Kevin might just come out and beat the crap outta ya... Outta Gohan, and that wouldn't be such a pretty view, now would it?"
"Shut the hell up and go in"
"Fine, fine. I'll be inside, ya'll be almost fucking Gohan out here... But be fast, Gohan, 'kay? Bye and nice to meet ya" - he smirked and quickly went through the gate and then into the house.
"I... I didn't know you had a brother... Two...?" - Gohan said, wryly.
"Yeah" - Marinne said, sighing heavily and narrowing her eyes - "I've to go" - with that, she quickly hopped out of the car and ran to her house. Gohan stood in the car, watching her getting inside the house.
The black haired and eyed boy looked up at the dark sky, and sighed, smiling softly.
"Vegeta was damn right..." - he murmured to himself - "I should be careful with Marinne... Otherwise... I'll end up killing myself for not having her near me..."
"Kevin" - Marinne acknowledged her older brother, sitting on the floor, in front of the fireplace.
"Good evening, Marinne" - he said, lightly. The girl shifted her weight, waiting for him to start. But he didn't for about a minute, so Mario started for him.
"So, gonna tell us 'bout ya lil' girlfriend, Kev?" - he said, and Kevin blushed, though he had his back facing his siblings, so none of them saw his blush.
"Yeah"
"What's her name?" - Marinne asked dryly.
"Her name's... Leena"
"Leena..." - the girl repeated, almost as if tasting the name in her tongue.
"Yes, Leena"
"That's... That's the new girl's name..." - she said, raising an eyebrow - "Gohan's twin"
"Gohan...? Oh..."
"Her? Kevin, are you... Actually dating... A student?" - her tone was amused, though slightly disapproving.
"I am aware of our condition as... Student and teacher, Marinne"
"Good, 'cause from the way you're talking, doesn't look like it, Kevin"
"I do whatever I please with my personal life, Marinne. And I am only informing, not asking for permission"
"If that is so..."
"It is"
"Then I assume you've fucked her already?" - he blushed REALLY hard, and turned to her, angry.
"Do NOT say that kinda thing 'bout Leena, ever, Marinne"
"I'll say whatever hell I wanna say 'bout 'er, onii - sama" - she said emotionless.
"Marinne..."
"You informed me, and I simply exposed my thoughts on the matter. Don't be all angry because of it, Kevin"
"Marinne..."
"I don't really care if you fuck all of your students, Kevin. It's not as if you actually NEEDED this teacher job..."
"But I like it"
"Like it, hate it... What do I care?"
"Marinne, Kami..."
"What?" - she asked coldly, staring back at her brother's green eyes.
"Nothing... Go to sleep, now"
"Fine" - the girl said dryly, turning her back at him and leaving the room without another word.
"Why're you two like that all the time?" - Mario said, annoyed.
"How so, Mario?"
"You're brother and sister, Kev. Though..."
"Well... She doesn't want me to..."
"Don't be stupid, Kev. Doesn't suit ya. Marinne's..."
"Her"
"Yeah. Well, gotta go"
"Where...?"
"Date. Ya should try sometime with... Ya girl" - he watched his brother blush madly - "Well, later, Kev"
"Yes..." - Mario frowned for a moment before leaving to his room.
Saturday came smoothly...
Out of all the residents of Capsule Corporation that were going to visit Dende and Mr. Popo, only Leena and Gohan and Goten and Trunks and Goku were excited (five outta seven's... 'Only'? Well...), because Vegeta was in his usual mood, and Bulma, strangely, was very stressed out, due to a few problems concerning something the CC produced and wasn't doing very well.
But, in spite of that, it was going to be a wonderful day out.
Or not, but at least the excited ones hoped it'd be so...
When they arrived, the only two residents of the temple hugged some of them - the excited bunch - plus the stressed, though slightly less than when they left, Bulma. Vegeta, for obvious reasons, was left alone, after all... Dende and Mr. Popo liked being living beings...
They started an usual brunch/lunch (...), with lots and lots of all kinds of food, which the males appreciated a lot, as usual. For the girls, there was the usual casual and interesting conversation with Dende, pleasant and kind and polite as usual. But, because of her troubles at CC, Bulma didn't participate much on the conversations with the green Kami, and Leena was the one that mainly kept the Kami entertained.
"Leena" - Dende said at a certain moment, when the two were all alone, maybe an hour after lunch was completely over - at around 2 o'clock -, sitting by the edge of the floating temple. The girl looked at him with innocent and bright eyes.
"Yes?"
"You... You do realize he's much older, right?" - Leena blushed madly, eyes widening, mind instantly understanding her friend's words. He looked at her straight in the eyes - "Leena?"
"Yeah... I... I know Kevin's..."
"Seven years, Leena..."
"I know"
"Do you... Love him...?"
"What? I don't... I mean... We've only just... Dende..."
"I see..."
They remained silent for some time, staring down at the world, though only Dende could see what was going on down there. Leena only wanted to look at somewhere other than her friend's disapproving eyes.
"But you do love him already" - Dende said suddenly, in a sad tone of voice.
"What...?"
"You do, Leena... And I'm Kami - sama... I know all"
"Well, that may be, Dende, but... I... I don't know... I can't... Can't love him already... We haven't even had a date or anything like that, and we... I mean, we know nothing about each other... And you should know something about the person you love, right?"
"Haven't you ever heard of 'love at first sight', Leena?"
"Of course I have, but..."
"Couldn't it be the case...?"
"I don't really think so... Maybe, but... I don't think so"
"Well, I think you do love him. I'm almost completely sure, actually, but anyway..."
"Oh, and what about nii - chan and Marianne?"
"Hum... Trying to change the subject, huh? Okay, that's fine. But I DID see them... Quite the heat between the two..."
"Huh?"
"They are this close from... Doing it"
"Oh..." - Leena suddenly blushed, embarrassed - "Really...?" - she couldn't help but ask, such a curious cat she was.
"Oh, yeah. I'm up here, with nothing else to do but let the world have its occasional and quite common natural disasters and watch my friends. Bulma and the others are boring, but you and Gohan, especially since you started at your new school, are great to watch. Though, of course, I promise from this moment, that I will never watch any of you doing it. Ever"
"Dende!" - Leena exclaimed, very embarrassed and blushed.
"What? I said I wouldn't watch that!"
"Ah!"
"What, Me (he's Kami, so he can't say 'Kami', 'cause that would sound weirder)?! You ARE gonna do it sometime, and maybe with Shato Kevin"
"Ah, ah, AH!" - she covered her ears with her hands - "Stop it!"
"What's the problem with me saying...?"
"Kami - sama has a very dirty mind!"
"I do not! If I had, I'd watch you..."
"Stop saying things like that!"
Dende laughed softly, messing the girl's hair.
"You're so cute, Leena" - he said kindly, now stroking her hair. She looked at him.
"Huh?"
"Well, you are" - he sighed - >Not that it matters, now, anyway... She's in love with Shato Kevin, anyhow...>
"I really do... Like Shato - sensei"
"I know..."
"But... He's my teacher, anyhow, and... I just can't..."
"Maybe... He'll give up being a teacher. Your teacher..."
"No! He can't do that for me!"
"Maybe... He's in love as well"
Leena said nothing, and just smiled, happy.
The visit ended after dinner, when all Saiyan boys had already been satisfied. They all said their good byes, Dende winking at Leena, who returned him with a soft smile, and patted Gohan on the back after they parted their quick hug, saying he still wanted to be the best man. The Saiyan boy flush hard and whacked his friend on the head, but the Earth Kami only laughed of his friend's embarrassment.
They got home a little after ten, and went all to sleep.
Sunday was going to be a pretty long day for both Gohan and Leena, as they wouldn't be able to see the ones they were in love with, and had nothing to do...
But they were wrong.
Leena woke up early in the morning, as she liked to do on weekends, and went straight to the kitchen to eat something and go out, as she also always did on weekends.
She had always loved walking around the city very early, seeing so few people walking around, most looking tired and half - sleeping, and the ones who liked to wake up early just to jog or anything like it.
Usually, she took the right way when it was time to choose a path, but this day, for some reason she didn't quite understand, she took the left one, though she knew she had no idea what was on that path.
But she didn't turn back, and kept walking.
She looked all around herself, the cars, the trees, the houses, everything, noting every detail, so she could go this path again some other day, and not worry about going the wrong way.
She walked and walked, only looking at her surroundings, not noticing a single presence around her, and not even that a long time had passed, and it was now noon, and quite a number of people was out that day, many boys looking at her, as she was dressed in tight black skirt and white blouse.
A hand touched her shoulder, and Leena widened her eyes, and turned back, staring into deep dark green eyes.
Kevin's eyes...
Leena flushed hard.
"S-Sensei!" - she exclaimed.
"Hey, miss Son" - he said softly, brushing a few strands of hair out of her face. She turned redder, and smiled softly at him.
"I... I thought you lived in... Satan City..." - she said shyly.
"Well, I actually do, miss Son, but it's a beautiful Sunday, and I just thought I should go out for a walk... It's very nice, isn't it?" - without giving it much thought, he leaned forward and kissed her on the lips. She widened her eyes at his action, not quite understanding why he was doing so.
He pulled back, finally realizing what he had done, and turned a dark shade of red.
"Kami, what am I doing...?" - he murmured under his breath, embarrassed - "Shouldn't have done that... Or... The other times too, I... Ah, it doesn't matter anymore. Care to join me, miss Son?" - he took her hand and kissed it. She smiled brightly, and nodded happily.
Awkwardly holding hands, the two walked around the city, not really caring if anyone saw them together, as he was her teacher at a high school in Satan City, not the West City. So they were safe.
After some time silent, Kevin started up an idle conversation with the girl, thinking she liked books, which she did, and they started commenting on books they had liked, loved, hated, loathed, adored to death. It was fun to just talk, and get to know each other a little better, rather than just... Kiss.
They got to an ice cream parlor, and Kevin told Leena it was a very good place, and that they made the best ice cream there, so they entered.
They sat on a table far from the windows, and made their orders.
"So, miss Son, tell me about... Your family"
"I have Gohan, my twin brother, and Goten, our younger brother, seven years younger, and then there's daddy, of course, and... Well, mommy died seven years ago, giving birth to Goten" - she said with a sad smile.
"I know how you must feel, miss Son. After all, I lost my parents very soon as well. Dad died not long ago, and mother actually died when I was only ten. Mario was about... Three years old"
"Oh"
"Yeah. And I have a sister, too. Younger, one year younger than Mario, actually. Or two... Well, she's turning seventeen soon, so... Yeah"
"What's her name?"
"Marinne"
"Pretty name" - Leena said, not connecting Kevin's sister's name with 'Surya Marinne'.
"Yeah. Her mom picked it for 'er"
"What?"
"We don't have the same mother. My mom... She wasn't the nicest person in the world, so right after Mario was born, she left him in dad's care and took off. We only heard of her again when she died. No big deal, really"
"Sorry, Kevin - sensei"
"It's okay, miss Son. Well, after she left us, dad met and married Marinne's mom, a very nice lady... The best mom we could've asked for. Dad chose right, for once. But then she died, when Marinne was about fourteen. And it was around the same time dad died too. Marinne never took their deaths pretty well"
"I would like to meet your sister, Kevin - sensei... If it's okay..." - Leena said softly. Kevin widened his eyes for a split second, then smiled.
"Why not, huh?" - he said in an adorable way, winking at the girl in front of him.
They kept on talking as they ate they delicious ice creams, laughing and Kevin keeping on joking with the girl, who merely smiled and laughed, truly amused.
They finished their ice creams a long time after they arrived, and soon left, holding hands once more.
Kevin kept on squeezing the girl's hand, and kissing it, and her, on the lips, on the cheek. And the girl simply smiled at him, not sure of what to do, or what was going to happen next.
They walked and walked, none quite aware of the time.
"It's lunch time!" - Leena exclaimed, suddenly looking at the time on her watch. She looked alarmed - "Oh... I always go back in time for lunch... They're gonna be mad..."
"Call 'em, miss Son. Explain... You'll be having lunch with your... I mean... With... Someone" - Kevin said as he flushed. Leena nodded, thinking too hard to notice his slip.
Leena got her phone and called, and thanked it was Bulma who answered, so she was able to give her some excuse and let the older woman tell everyone else about her absence during lunch, which wouldn't be all that noticed, as the males tended to eat and eat, but even so...
She hung up and turned to Kevin, smiling and waiting for her.
"Shall we go, miss Son?" - he said in a fake gentleman - like manner. She giggled and took the hand he had extended, and accepted the soft kiss he placed on her lips.
The soft kiss soon became a harder one, accordingly to Kevin's desires and Leena's will. They didn't care they were in the middle of the street, kissing, being teacher and student, and simply kissed.
Leena moaned against Kevin's lips, and the young teacher smiled softly against hers, and parted the kiss gently.
"Kevin - sensei, may I... Ask something?" - Leena said quietly.
"Of course, miss Son"
"What... What are..."
"Kevin!" - a woman's voice exclaimed, and the young man widened his eyes, as he saw a few people getting near Leena and himself. But he didn't let go of her hand.
"Mina... And Jay, Bourne, Brianna..." - Kevin said, sounding slightly wry. Leena looked at him, and then at the newcomers, that looked at her a bit surprised.
"K! With a girl! Now THAT'S a surprise, my friend!" - said one of the young men, with bright caramel eyes and black hair tied in a ponytail passed his shoulders.
"Well... She's... Eh..."- Kevin started to flush, though he didn't mean to. His friends laughed, and Leena was hiding slightly behind Kevin, so none of his friends could see her face very well.
"Hey, no need to be shy" - said one of the girls, not the one who called Kevin, softly. She had beautiful and long dark green hair and silver eyes. Leena gave her a weak smile, and looked at Kevin's flushed face, and smiled a little more. She came from behind her teacher, and his friends stared at her.
"As usual, Kev, nice taste" - said the other male of the foursome, with blond hair and strange red eyes. Kevin glared at him as he noticed his friend's glances at Leena.
"So... We were just going out to get something to eat, Kevin. Wanna join? Your... Girlfriend is included, of course" - said the first girl, Mina, it seemed. She had wavy dark brown hair and light blue eyes.
"I don't... What you think, mi... Leena?" - he stopped in time. It would NOT have been nice if he'd said 'miss Son'. Leena alone seemed to noticed, and she complied, smiling at him.
"It would be nice to have lunch with a lot of people, just like at home" - she said happily. Kevin smiled down at her.
"Then it's settled!" - said the one with the ponytail.
"So... Where are we going?" - Kevin asked his friends as they started to walk.
"This place called... 'Claig'" - Leena winced.
"What's wrong... Oh, fuck! Geez... Everyone, this's Son Leena, and these are... Bourne Boroi (the guy with the ponytail), Jay Naito, Brianna Karin (the nice girl, with green hair) and... Mina Miako" - Kevin said.
"Well, go on with what ya was saying, Kevin" - Mina said, rolling her eyes. Kevin rolled his eyes at her.
"It wasn't with ya, Mina. So, Leena, is something wrong? Ya kinda... Winced when Bourne said the name of the place we're going to"
"Oh, it's nothing, really. I only remembered a... Minor incident there... I went with my family, and... Well, daddy, nii - chan, Goten, Trunks and uncle Vegeta torn the place apart"
"What?"
"Bulma was so embarrassed... And so was I, of course. The damages cost SO much... Uncle Vegeta and nii - chan started fighting over the dessert as Trunks and Goten fought over the ice cream. And daddy ate just about anything the waiters brought. So very bad..." - Leena explained, exasperated.
"Man... That bad?" - Kevin asked, sweatdropping at the image.
"Yes... It was. Bulma was so mad at them... They weren't allowed to have any dessert for two weeks. They almost killed Bulma, for obvious reasons, and me, for not helping them smuggle chocolate for them"
"Interesting family. Should I check what I bring with me when I meet them?" - Kevin said absently. Leena giggled at the thought of Kevin meeting her family...
But then she remembered Kevin was her teacher, and that would NOT be a good thing to her family...
For the rest of the walk to the Claig, Leena remained quiet, Kevin not quite understanding why she was so quiet.
The restaurant was very beautiful and big, and Kevin was pretty impressed that his friends had chosen such a place to eat.
As they entered, Leena seemed wry about the place, eyeing each and every waiter and staff member just to see if any of them remembered her, which was quite possible, considering the day they had been there had been quite memorable.
Sighing in relieve as she noticed no one had recognized her, Leena turned to Kevin, who flushed slightly when she turned to him so suddenly, the young man having had watched her the entire time. She frowned slightly, not understanding him, but smiled nonetheless.
They sat at a very nice table around the middle of the restaurant, and were handed the menus.
"Not gonna see what's good to eat, Leena?" - Kevin asked her quietly, brushing his hand against her cheek. She smiled softly at him.
"No need, Kevin. We came here not so long ago... Only a month or so, therefore... I don't think they would've changed the menu so drastically, do you?"
"Yeah... That would be kinda weird..."
When the waiter, a young man, came, they all ordered, and Leena and Kevin were left last.
"Lobster a Lady" (making it up, of course) - Kevin said - "And a white wine, please"
"And for you, miss?"
"Rice a Vramille, and lobster a Krai. And to drink... Melon juice with lots of ice" - the waiter thought for a few moments, looking Leena up and down.
"Forgive me, miss... But have you been here before?" - Leena gulped nervously.
"Once, yes..." - the waiter's eyes shone.
"With a rather large number of males"
"Eh... Yes?"
"And... Briefs Bulma, correct?"
"Yes... I'm sorry" - she said automatically. The waiter grinned.
"No offense to your family, miss, but thank Kami they didn't come this time. Though with the large amount of extra money given by Mrs. Briefs, we were able to even do some modifications in the restaurant, and it's quite better, wouldn't you agree, miss?"
"It's really much prettier"
"Well, too much idle chattering, huh, miss? Excuse me" - he left with a grin.
>It's sure hard not to like miss Son... Shit. Leena!> - Kevin thought, eyes narrowed in the slightest of ways.
"So, Leena" - Bourne started, in an adorable way - "How old are you, exactly?" - Kevin went red once again.
"I'm... Kevin, what's wrong?" - Leena was going to say her age, but Kevin leaned towards her, bringing his lips near her ear.
"Don't say your real age, miss Son. Say... You're like eighteen. At least, please" - he whispered.
"It's fine, Kevin" - she said smiling at him - "I'm nineteen years old, Bourne - kun"
"What? Picking up girls right outta high school, K, now?" - Jay said, laughing. Kevin turned redder than before.
"And you teach in a high school..." - Mina said, slowly, eyeing Leena up and down - "You're not... Well, I mean... You were never his student, were you?"
"No..." - Leena said in the most innocent way she managed.
"What do your parents think of this age difference, Leena?" - Bourne asked, eyebrows raised in curiosity. Now, everyone definitely had their eyes on Leena, especially, and Kevin.
"I... I only have my daddy, but... Well... I don't think he would mind very much. He... No one in my family knows... About... Kevin and..."
"We haven't been together for very long" - Kevin supplied, softly. Leena smiled happily at him.
"Oh... And how do you think they'll react? I mean... You've probably just finished high school, and Kev's old enough to be a teacher and all... Let's see... Six years of difference, right?"
"Yes... But that shouldn't really matter, should it?" - the girl said softly. Kevin eyed her with a smile that didn't want to leave his lips.
"Well... I suppose... If only you're in love...Or the sex is just that great" - Jay said nonchalantly, but Leena widened her eyes and flushed really hard. Kevin glared hard at his friend.
"Fuck you, Jay. We haven't... Done anything" - he was going to add 'yet', but thought if was better not to.
"Cute, Kevin" - Mina mused, with a hint of a glare in her eyes - "That shows how much you've changed... I guess" - Leena looked at her, then at Kevin, confused, not understanding a thing.
"You too, Mina. And shut the hell up. Not in the mood to hear this kinda..." - Leena pulled his sleeve a bit, in a childish way, and he stopped talking, and looked at her, brows furrowed - "What is it, Leena?"
"Eh... The food is coming" - she said, suddenly seeing the waiter bringing them their orders. He smiled kindly and politely at Leena, and left, still smiling. Kevin narrowed his eyes at his back, but said nothing.
"It that any good?" - Brianna asked Leena, eyeing the lobster wryly. Leena giggled.
"It's very good. Though... My family has a rather long tradition of loving any kind of food. As in ANY what so ever. Nii - chan and daddy... And uncle Vegeta... And Trunks, and Goten... And I suppose you could add Yamcha - kun to the list... And Kurilin - san... And Piccolo - sama... Dende... Hum... Strange... Never thought about it, but... Everyone I know eats pretty much anything. Well, except for Bulma, but that's a given" - she grinned - "Bulma is too much of a girl to like any kind of food like everyone else. Though Eighteen eats anything too..."
"Strange name" - Bourne commented.
"Huh, which? Oh, right. 'Eighteen', huh? Well... She isn't all that normal anyhow... She's pretty nice, don't get me wrong, but... As the rest, she also has some family issues... Her brother wasn't all that nice. But he disappeared, so it's all good on Earth" - she looked up for a moment, and smiled, and Dende smiled back, though she couldn't see it, he knew so, but he also knew she knew (??) he would be watching, and would smile back at her.
They ate chatting for almost an hour, when Leena's phone rang. They stopped talking for a moment, the girl flushing in embarrassment, and taking it quickly.
"Hello?"
"Leena, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" - Gohan's voice rang quite loudly. The girl winced at her brother's both concerned and slightly angry voice.
"I'm still having lunch, nii - chan"
"WHO are you having lunch with, anyway? Dende said you liked someone... ARE YOU WITH A GUY? I WANNA MEET HIM!" - his voice was loud enough for others to hear, and Leena flushed harder.
"Nii - chan... Please, not right now..."
"Don't be long, then. I don't wanna have to go get you. WITH Vegeta"
"No, no, no, no! Not uncle Vegeta! Not good, nii - chan...! No bringing uncle Vegeta... And no coming to get me either. I am the daughter of Son Goku and Chi - Chi, and I can take care of myself better than most. Including you"
"What's THAT supposed to mean?"
"Nothing, nii - chan. And don't you DARE try to figure out where I am. I don't even wanna hear it, okay? Do so, and I'll be VERY angry at you, nii - chan, and you know I'm not very good to see when I'm truly angry. Besides... I MAY be with a 'guy', as you said, but you have a girlfriend too! Surya Marinne! So don't annoy me, GOHAN"
"Leena...! Don't be mad at me...! And how do you know about Marinne?! Did Dende tell you?! I'm gonna kick his holy ass! Leena...!" - Gohan whined.
"Nii - chan, stop whining, and... I don't know... It's Sunday... Go out on a date with your girlfriend, while I..."
"While you're out with some guy we don't know, and that might hurt ya"
"He would never...!"
"No! Don't wanna hear it! Just come back home after lunch, please, Leena"
"Fine, nii - chan. Meany!"
"Am not! Vegeta finished eating just now, and he's kinda starting to wonder where his favorite lil' girl in the world is, and I'm not sure he'll be very thrilled to hear you're with some guy we haven't met yet. And you know Vegeta, Leena. He's the one you should really worry about... Not me, really" - Leena bit her lip, hard, and it actually bled, but she felt nothing.
"I know... I... I haven't finished eating yet..."
"Where are you?"
"Eh... 'Claig'"
"WHAT?! They ALLOWED you to go inside?! NO WAY! I thought that... I mean, after the other time..."
"The money Bulma... Anyway..."
"Oh, right... Well... What would you prefer, Leena? That I go pick you up? I mean... Vegeta wouldn't... What? Eh... No one, really... A friend... From school... No, not Leena... She's my sister, not... Vegeta, get away! It's only a... NO!" - Leena winced at the phone.
"Leena... Get your ass back home. Now" - Vegeta growled on the other side of the phone. Leena winced once more, feeling the man's Ki high and powerful - and very upset and angry - even through the phone.
"But, uncle Vegeta...!"
"GET YOUR ASS OUTTA WHEREVER THE FUCK YOU ARE AND COME BACK HOME! IF YOU'RE WITH SOME GUY I DON'T KNOW, AND DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT, THEN I'M FUCKING KILLING 'IM AND GROUNDING YOU! WHAT IS IT, DAMN WOMAN? GET THE FUCK AWAY, I'M...!"
"Shut up, Vegeta. Thanks, Goku. Leena, dear, no need to come back home just yet, 'kay? Vegeta's being the jerk and jealous and weirdo of always. Enjoy your date"
"It's not...!"
"Well, if it isn't, then come back home"
"Well..."
"It is! So cute, Leena! VEGETA! Geez... Well, just make sure you're back before three, 'kay? Don't want your father and Vegeta to wrack the whole damn place, you know. Gohan, help Goku out. Trunks, don't hurt your father too much. Goten, watch it. Well, dear, have fun, and don't forget you'll have to introduce 'im to us SOMETIME. Bye"
"Bye..." - nervously, Leena put down the phone. Kevin looked at her, worriedly, as did Brianna and Bourne.
"What is it, Leena?" - Kevin asked her, gently. She looked at him and smiled weakly.
"Uncle Vegeta is going to kill you when he meets you" - she said, as if in shock - "And he will..."
"Eh..."
"He's going to kill you..." - she said, looking truly concerned. Kevin frowned at this.
"Eh... He won't, Leena, 'cause... Well, I'm not as weak as I seem..."
"And uncle Vegeta isn't as strong as he looks. He's much stronger..."
"Well..."
"I need to go home. Now" - she got up, and threw a couple of random bills on the table. The others widened their eyes slightly - "Excuse me..." - she whispered, still a bit in shock. Kevin followed her as she walked towards the exit.
"Miss Son" - he whispered, holding her by the arm. She looked at him, and smiled softly.
"Yes, sensei?"
"Don't worry. He won't do a thing to me. I'll take 'im down, promise. Not very willing to let ya go just yet, miss Son"
"Sensei...?"
He smirked, but then quit it and smiled slightly nervous. He leaned and kissed her softly. He soon backed away, flushing.
"Well, have a safe trip back home, miss Son. And... I'll see you soon, my darling" - he took her hand and kissed it. The girl widened her eyes slightly, flushed, and giggled softly, kissing him on the lips in a soft and loving way. He smiled and laughed as well.
"Bye, neh, Kevin - sensei"
"Bye, miss Son" - he let go of her hand and she left.
Kevin watched as she went away, so beautiful he thought she was, so innocent and perfect.
"Shit" - he mumbled.
As Leena ran with all her might - which meant she took less than a minute too get to the CC -, she thought to herself: 'What if they dislike sensei? Or disapprove of him because we're student and teacher?'
Before stepping in the enormous yellow building, Leena took a deep breathe and then walked in.
Just to be greeted by a maniac - looking Vegeta, a tired - looking Bulma, a nonchalant and getting to bothered state Goku, oblivious and happy Trunks and Goten and quite upset and annoyed Gohan. Leena sighed, and smiled nervously at them.
"Hi..." - she said quietly. Vegeta turned to her almost turning Super Saiyan.
"Where were you? Who were you with? Why were you with someone other than us? Did he touch you? Where, how, WHY? What's his name? Where does he live? Is he another weakling? How much energy must I use to FRY HIS B-"
"Vegeta! SHUT THE HELL UP!" - Bulma screamed, making sure they all heard her - though it was kinda impossible not to.
"Woman..." - he growled
"Shut up! Leena, did you have fun, dear?"
"Eh... Yeah. Yes. Oh, and the 'Claig' is so much prettier now! You should go see it, Bulma"
"Well, I just might. Alone or with you, of course, because these boys... Oh, Dende..."
"Yeah..." - Vegeta was still fuming.
"Leena..." - Gohan tried to start, but he didn't know what to say next. His sister smiled awkwardly at him.
"Sorry, nii - chan, for yelling at you over the phone..." - she said quietly.
"It's alright... Hey..." - his face flushed and he moved closer to her, speaking in her ear, so even the Saiyans' great hearing could get what he asked her - "How DID you know about... Marinne?" - he said. She looked at him and giggled.
"I saw you two" - she replied, now smirking lightly. He flushed harder, and seemed embarrassed.
"I see..." - he said quietly.
"She's very pretty, nii - chan. You're very lucky"
"Yeah, she's..." - he stopped talking, flushing even harder, and, a bit ashamed, went back to his room to rest and clear his head. Trunks and Goten seemed too bored to wait the fight that was doomed to happed between Bulma, Vegeta and Leena, and left with Goku to spar or simply play.
"Leena, I'm still waiting for answers here" - Vegeta growled.
"Uncle Vegeta, I..."
"Well... I would also like to know who is this mysterious boyfriend of yours, Leena..." - Bulma said lightly.
"Hum... Eh... Well, he's... Special..."
"In what sense, dear?"
"He's... He's very good to me... He treats me... Like... I don't... I don't know... But he's very sweet, kind... Nice... I..."
"Do NOT say you love him" - Vegeta asked, flushing slightly, a bit out of anger, a bit out of embarrassment. Bulma snorted.
"I... I won't, uncle Vegeta... Promise" - but her small smile remembering how Kevin had called her 'MY darling' and kissed her hand, made Vegeta wry about this 'something' of hers, and Bulma thought Leena was either very good at choosing men, or simply too stupid, and easy to fool.
"Well, when are we gonna meet your love, Leena?" - Bulma asked excitedly. Leena suddenly seemed nervous.
"Hum... I don't... I don't think it would be such a good idea for you to meet him..." - she mumbled.
"Why not?" - Vegeta said, angry.
"Because... Because I don't think you'll... Approve of him..."
"Why's that, dear?"
"He... He's not... Well, he's... Older" - >For one>
"Oh. Well, Vegeta's older too, dear. And dad's... Well, he WAS older than mom. And Goku too, with Chi - Chi..."
"Well, you're not... Mad?"
"No, of course not! So what he's a lil' older? That's good! But, eh... Just how much older is he?"
"Eh... Well... Seven years older..."
"Oh... That's... Quite a number of... Years of difference..."
"He's seven years older?! He's a pedophile!" - Vegeta cried. The two women looked at him curiously, in spite of his outburst.
"How do you know that word?" - Bulma asked him, now eyeing him strangely.
"TV"
"Oh. And so what? Seven years ain't THAT much"
"Of course it is!"
"No, it's not so much. Well, dear, I'm sure you must be tired, so... Well, go to your room or somethin'... I'll talk to Vegeta, 'kay?"
"Okay..." - she was going to say something to try to ease the atmosphere between Vegeta and herself, but was unable to, as she sensed his anger, so she simply ran up to her room.
As soon as she closed the door, Leena sighed and threw herself on the bed, grabbing the pillow and burying her face on it. Her face was all red.
"Kevin - sensei... Am I your girlfriend...?" - she whispered.
AH!!! PRAISE THE GODS OF ALL TIMES!! ME FINISH STORY!! (MISTAKE INTENDED)
I took my time, I admit. I had basically ALL of this ready for A REALLY long time, but didn't know how to end it, so I just it be. But I got tired of waiting for the angel of inspiration to come to me, so I just ended it quickly with the last two paragraphs (pathetic, I know). But it's finished, edited (??), posted, and that's all that I care about. At least until I start get annoyed by the next chapter, still REALLY at the beginning...
Quickly:
little sakura:
Ah, I thank you for your kind words (I don't understand the concept of "Mary Sue" all that well, even though I seem an expert on creating them...), and I give this chapter to you, my sole reviewer. But, what to expect when I update in such a SLOW way? It's all my fault, I know, I know... Well, I don't usually give up (completely, anyway) on ANY of my stories... Even if this means not writing a SINGLE word for years (it's happened in other stories, trust me), but once this one in particular is posted on a website, I just happen to think I owe something to reviewers and readers (which I don't see much of, much okay), so... I continue it. Even if it doesn't look like it, I believe.
Oh, and congrats on being reviewer number 10!!
Nothing much important to report, except that I have no fucking idea, clue, whatever, when the next chapter's going to be posted. But faith is necessary, always, so please, wait and hope and pray.
About the contents of this chapter (almost forgetting):
Kevin and Leena:
Cute. And no, I don't give a crap that they're teacher-student, and they have seven years of difference.
Gohan and Marinne:
They're SO adorable together!! And, I'm pretty sure it's COMPLETELY obvious that the girl, even if kinda hesitant, is oh so fucking into Gohan, right? Cute!!
Gohan, Marinne and Videl:
Videl... What to say except she's the jealous third - party? Well, I'm one hell of a love triangles (and squares and whatever) lover, so of course this story had to have one as well!!
Vegeta:
So cute!! Like a jealous father!! Goku sure isn't one (he doesn't do much in this story, I know...), so someone had to be! And who's best for the job than Vegeta, almighty Prince of the Saiyans?
That's it for now, folks!!
