*Flashback*

"Mommy?" The small raven haired boy whined as he looked up at his mother.

"Yes Goten?" Chi-Chi asked picking up her youngest and clamping him at her waist.

"Why do we have to move?" He clasped her blouse causing a small tear in the fabric, "All my friends are here and we'll be even further away from Trunks!" His friends were the animals of the forest, he was like his father talking to them and assisting in any way he could.

"Goten we've talked about this, you know if you and Gohan hadn't have blown up everything at home-" She choked; she had lived there with her kids and Goku during his living moments almost all of her life. "You two just need to be more careful when you're training." They were both on the verge of tears.

The eldest hybrid Saiyan's hand rested on her shoulder as the signal that he was there, then it drifted down to Goten's cheek. "Everything has been moved, I thanked Yamcha, Krillin, and Trunks then they all went home." The Flying Nimbus skidded to a halt behind the teen, "Come on guys. I knows it's hard to move past this but Hercule's gonna rebuild it!" Gohan tried to beam his features though he was ashamed of letting the spar get out of hand.

"But Gohan-" the younger Saiyan started with, "-it won't be home." Tears flowed from the small boy's tear ducts.

The sight made the small family cry together, "I know Goten. Come on hope on Nimbus, Karakura awaits."

*End Flashback*

Gohan slipped on his jacket, well vest. He talked to the administrator and she said that is was alright to wear his black vest from his Orange Star High School. He knew he would stand out regardless, the transfer student always was. "Hey Goten!" He called out once he was completely dressed, "You're gonna keep care of mom on my first day of school right?" He grinned at his half-awake brother as he rolled out of the top bunk landing on his cranium. He teared up from the impact but gave his brother a thumbs up. "Still having those dreams?" He asked the younger kneeling down to him.

Goten sat up straight and made an unsure expression, "Y-yeah."

Gohan rubbed the spot then gave his brother a playful rub. Ever since they moved Goten had been having nightmares, even listening to him talk about them frightened him and his mother. Goten never watched scary movies or listened to ghost stories, how did such images get into his head? But how long had it been since Majin Buu's defeat? A little over a month, Goku and Vegeta had been able to defeat him, but at the cost of their own lives.

Gohan hugged the eight year old quickly, "I'll be home after I used to. Maybe we can play a game!" Goten's ears perked up and he was suddenly hoping excitedly in place, "Can we? Can we really Gohan?!"

He nodded and went into the kitchen; their mother must still be asleep. She spent the past few days looking for a job while Goten and Gohan were at school. Well more like when Goten napped since he was home-schooled. He smiled when he saw that his lunch had been packed and set out for him on the blue marble counter. Thanks mom, you're the best.

He hoped outside with his few school supplies under his arm. His Saiyaman watch was strapped on his wrist, he had seen a few criminal acts around the town, and he was going to have to change that.

The teenage boy lost in thought walked into someone as he rounded a corner. The large and similarly bulky Hispanic male was knocked off his feet, on instinct Gohan's palm reached out and grippe Chad's arm. "Sorry I wasn't paying attention." Gohan admitted only getting a blank stare from the taller dark-skinned giant.

Chad had never been knocked off his feet by someone like that before, this guy's not normal, was his sole thought. He held Gohan's lightly tanned skin, he was small but Chad knew that his body would pack a punch like this. "Thanks… Are you a new transfer? My name's Yasotora Sado." Came his low yet proudly booming voice.

The raven haired Saiyan warrior smiled as he used no strength at all to bring the large Hispanic to his feet, "I'm Son Gohan, just call me Gohan." His face beamed with excitement of meeting someone new already, "Yeah I just moved here over the summer for this school year." Since he was a senior it would be his last year of high school.

"D'you know what class you're in yet?" Chad questioned as his chocolate locks gusted in the wind, Gohan nodded and said the room number. "So you'll be with Ichigo, Rukia and I."

"That's good I thought I was gonna be alone filled with people I won't know." They walked and talked going to the school. Both were talking about friends and family, though keeping the most secret things about themselves and others hidden from the other.

"Hey Chad did you make a new friend?" The teen that was the same height as Gohan with bright orange hair inquired as he approached. Gohan extended his hand in a friendly way, only getting a slight glance at the gesture from Ichigo, "I'm Gohan!" Slightly confused he held the palm to Ichigo for another few seconds before deciding to let it fall back to his side.

"Are you a transfer student?" Gohan nodded, Ichigo got the small notice from Chad that the newest addition to their class wasn't their regular transfer student. He was built bigger than Kenpachi and had the Head Captain's demanding air if his smile wasn't so warm and inviting.

"Kurosaki Ichigo," He said with his cool tone tilting his head to the side as if living up to his 'reputation' of being hardcore. His left hand rested in his pocket and his right flipped over his shoulder holding his lunch in a bag. "Better get to class before you're late. That's not something you wanna do on your first day Gohan."

Ichigo felt slightly intimidated by the hybrid, just something else he was gonna have to keep his eye on. Gohan did sense the slight discomfort coming from the orangette, though his power level was lower than theirs. But they were pretty strong, no really string the type of people Goku would take a liking to if he were there.

The sun was rising in the sky as a warning bell rang, "See you in class guys!" Gohan hurried to class trying not to let his power level spike in excitement for meeting new people and making new friends. A small dust cloud caught the eye of a thin upperclassman who adjusted his glasses as he followed him inside to the room, giving a turn to his two pals acknowledging that he too, noticed something strange.

Once everyone was inside Gohan was brought up to the front of the class to talk about himself and answer any questions that they might have. Rukia came in late while he was talking; she stared at him for a long moment. The woman had a gut feeling like everyone else in the room that he wasn't normal in the slightest; though his appearance matched an average everyday Joe he was as tall as Ichigo and built bigger than Chad. Gohan wasn't the one to throw out some differences but he could tell that most o these people were pretty powerful. Each one gave off a unique signal, showing an interesting power that resided in each of them.

The strongest had to be the orange-haired kid, but even he was about as strong as Goten at best. Then it was his turn to be asked the questions instead of talking about himself. The first one, Keigo, "Are you good with the ladies?" Gohan laughed awkwardly and rubbed the side of his neck, "I've only ever had two girlfriends. Both of them didn't last very long." There was a few 'aws' from the girls.

Then someone from the front of the room, Tatsuki, raised her hand, "That means you're single now right?" His blush thickened as he nodded, "Yeah." He tried not to hear the somewhat menacingly high-pitched giggle from several of the girls. He had a bad feeling that this wasn't king to end very well.

The teacher couldn't help let a small chuckle part from her lips. Then everyone was caught off guard when Rukia stood up and interrogated with a single question him, "You're not human are you Gohan?" The entire room burst into laughter no one was able to hear his response: "No I'm not."

The bell rang and everyone, save for the hybrid Saiyan and the hybrid shinigami and his gang, groaned, it was a Monday and they had P.E. first thing today. The Saiyan warrior wasn't too sure that this was a good idea, "Excuse me Ms. Ochi? What're we doing for class today?" Gohan asked not feeling very up for showcasing his power or strength in any way.

"I'm glad you asked Gohan! Today well be running track and sparring with a partner!" An evil glint was caught by all the student body, and everyone gulped she probably just wanted to watch them bang each other up. "Well if that's so I'll have to change the rules! I'll pick your groups and you'll fight it out to the victor!" Everyone groaned as she began to list off names and who they were partnered with.

The pairs were as follows: Chad with Keigo, Ichigo with Mizuiro, Rukia with Orihime, Chizuru with Tatsuki (Who was glad to be able to actually hit the girl), Gohan with Uryū, who no matter what anyone said he respectfully declined the challenge, until Gohan had said with confidence: "Afraid to lose to the new student?"

Uryū turned and pointed a long finger at the accusing Saiyan, "I just don't want to hurt you!" He declared, then quickly taking his mind away to fix his glasses. Everyone in the room was taken back a bit by his sudden outburst. Everyone else was then paired; they were all kept to same gender brawls.

Gohan let a very Vegeta-like smirk escape his lips, though it quickly faded when he heard someone giggle. Well it sounded like a giggle to him at least.

Gohan's head tore to the window when he heard a deafening roar, it sounded like a monster or dinosaur was outside. His eyes widened in adrenaline when he had heard it as well several classmates turned their head too, he made a mental note of whom because not everyone did. "I'm sorry Ms Ochi but I really have to go to the bathroom!" Wait who said that? Not just one, but two people said it in synchronization, Ichigo and Gohan.

They gave each other a look, and then both busted out the door in opposite directions. Neither one cared where the other one was really going, Gohan to the roof and Ichigo to the front gate. Gohan sensed that no one was around for him to see, he pressed the button on his wristwatch for his outfit to change. The bodysuit was black, with a green vest-like cover, thick alabaster gloves and boots, a crimson cape, and his bright orange helmet with antennae. Upon reaching the roof he flew off straight to the creature's site.

Ichigo did something similar; he pressed his brown token to his chest, his combat pass. His soul body left his physical one, his zanpakuto, Zangetsu, in its Shikai state on his back. He jumped into the air with his black shihakksho flapping in the air behind him. "I was wondering when the hollows were going to show up again!" He would've smiled but this one was a little close too close to home.

There were two girls, an older carrying the younger in her arms as she ran for dear life. The hollow, a large elephant-looking creature with six thick appendages, followed close behind cackling menacingly with every destructive step. Ichigo arrived there first swinging his blade to hit the hollow's skin, not cut was made into the hierro, though an array of sparks danced after the blow.

When Gohan did arrive, he flew a bit slow to let people know he was on his way; he caught the scent of someone dead. He then saw his classmate, Ichigo, if he remembered correctly, attacking the hollow with something that reminded him of Trunks' sword. But this blade was different, it wasn't made of foreign material from another planet, it radiated a good deal of power and looked like an overgrown meat cleaver.

Ichigo didn't catch wind of Gohan's energy until he saw the hollow preparing for an attack. Its cero was incredibly fast, getting bigger than Ichigo in a matter of moments. "Getsuga-" A hand his hit collarbone rendering him unconscious, Gohan's covered hand gripped the back of his shirt to keep him from making contact with the ground.

Swinging faster than the hollow or anyone could process Gohan had punched the beast right in the center of its mask. It vanished, turning into dust and getting blown into the wind. Ichigo groaned so Gohan whacked him a second time, a large welt was forming on the teen's neck. Everyone looked at Saiyaman like he was crazed, punching nothing and acting like he held something in his arm, well who wouldn't? Can't they see him?

He flew back to class quickly, he couldn't find Ichigo's body so he just, kinda…

Gohan tossed Ichigo's unconscious soul in a closet.
