Where Angels Fear to Tread
Part 7
Hero, Savior, and Friend
Disclaimer: You've heard it all a billion times before. Need I bother again?
To all my reviews: Thanks so much! I loved your reviews! They helped me get this chapter out faster! Er...they encouraged me to do it actually. I almost didn't manage...plot bunnies, you know.
Oh yeah, go read Sailor J-chan's stuff! It's all really good! There's even a story she did (with permission) based of off Lost in the Darkness. I love it too! I like all her stuff, now that I think of it...
ENJOY!
It had been nearly a month and a half since Kurt had gone to live with Gohan and Videl, and everyone had finally settled into life, as parents or children with friends and school. It was a Wednesday and the dinner that week had gone very well. Yuma had been back and had brought her special cake, to everyone's delight. It had been delicious too.
But the time now found the crew outside on the roof. Videl was sparing with Kurt this week and Gohan was correcting them both. Videl was having trouble with her punches, she'd had a bad day and so everything seemed to be a little off, but it was okay. She'd survive.
Kurt, on the other hand, was just a little uncoordinated at the moment he kept forgetting to follow through with his punches and missing counter attacks. Finally, all three called a halt to the fight. Gohan sighed.
"I guess we're all having one of those days." He admitted, plopping down on the roof.
"Tell me about it." Videl groaned. "I think I grew two heads. I need headache reliever. Be right back. No killing each other and don't burn anything down."
"Don't you trust me?" Gohan smiled. Videl gave him a Look and shook her head. She wasn't even going to comment of that, it didn't deserve an answer.
Kurt groaned and flopped down next to Gohan. "Today was a waste." He muttered with a scowl.
Gohan gave a nod of agreement and sighed. "We all have them on occasion, though. Good thing we were all in a good mood today."
"Is Kassan going to be all right?" Kurt wondered aloud, watching the sun slowly set.
"I'm going to be just fine." Videl replied. "AFTER this advil kicks in."
"But not before." Gohan added, laughing slightly.
"That is not my fault." She snapped.
"What happened to you today?" Gohan asked.
"Far too much." She snarled, crossing her arms. Gohan laughed and pulled his mate into his lap.
"Really?" He smirked. "Well, I think there's going to be more happening."
"Not in front of Kurt." She frowned and all three laughed. She didn't, however, move off of her Demi Saiya-Jin pillow. She was just too comfortable.
"Hey, Kurt!" Trunks waved from the entrance to the school. "Have you seen Goten?"
"No, why? Is he not here yet? Maybe he's sick." Kurt shrugged.
"Goten? Sick? Naw...but he's really late." Trunks frowned. "Maybe traffic's bad. Well, I guess I'll see him at lunch."
"I guess. That's the bell! We'd better hurry or we'll be late!" Kurt dashed inside. "See you at lunch!"
"Later!"
Goten never showed up to school but Trunks finally called his house. Chichi answered and sounded very unhappy. "Goku and Goten went fishing today." She'd snapped irritably at the boy. "Why I'll never know, but they did. Today they were getting the fish to last for the winter...remember?"
"Yeah...thanks Chichi-san." Trunks replied politely. Once he hung up, he shuddered.
"She scares me." He muttered to himself. Kurt merely shrugged.
"We've got another twenty minutes of lunch left. What do you want to do?" The Demon-looking child asked stretching his arms in the air.
"I dunno. Go that way," Trunks pointed off to the left, "and tell me if you see anything interesting over there."
"Interesting? Here? If you say so." Kurt replied skeptically. He wandered slowly towards the other end of the play ground. That was the place the boys had beaten him up on the first day of school, the child remembered with a shudder.
And he was about to meet up with them again.
"I see you didn't take our warning seriously." The first boy sidled up to him and rubbed his fist with his other hand. "That's okay. Just gives me an excuse to kick your butt a second time."
"I'm not defenseless anymore." Kurt replied warily, watching all six of the boy's cronies as well as the leader.
"Really? Prove it. Get 'im." The bully gestured to Kurt. The six leapt for him. Kurt dodged their attacks and knocked a few down.
"Now it's my turn." The head bully jumped at the child and brought his fist back. It was heading speedily towards Kurt's face and Kurt already knew he didn't have enough time to get his defense up. He'd gotten cocky and he was going to pay for it. Well, at least he'd deserve THAT ouch. Unlike before when there had been no way he could defend himself.
The boy's fist stopped. "If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times, not to mention threatened to kick your puny ass to hell and back a few time, to leave my friend alone!" Trunks hissed, eyes blazing. The seemed to flash turquoise for a brief moment before returning to their typical ice blue color.
The bully gave a small "Eep." And went flying in the other direction from Kurt.
"Gosh, Trunks, thanks." Kurt blushed. "I-uh...dropped my defense after I beat so many at once."
"Been there, done , I was fighting my tousan, Gohan-san, and Goku-san all at once, so I really got what for." Trunks laughed. "Never do that. It really isn't fun."
"I was lucky you were here." Kurt agreed. "But, you know, I guess the excitement got to me."
"That's okay, but you need to watch that." Trunks laughed. "Excitement always comes back to bite you is the butt."
"Or knock your face in." Kurt agreed with a grin. "Let's head in. The bell's about to ring."
"Sounds good. Let's go." Trunks nodded and ran towards the school.
The duo were now hanging out at Bulma's, waiting for Videl top pick up Kurt when the phone rang. It was Videl herself, looking weary and tired. "Hey, Bulma-san." The woman mumbled tiredly.
"You don't look so great, Videl." Bulma frowned in concern.
"One of those morons I teach got hurt really bad. I'm stuck in the emergency room right now and Gohan won't be able to pick Kurt up for at least an hour. But he needs to get home. Goku said he'd take him if I needed him too, but I said I'd ask you first. I've got a baby-sitter lined up, but...she can't drive..."
"That's all right." Bulma agreed. "I'll run him home now. Who's the baby-sitter?"
"Name's Yoko. She's in my class, but she can't drive...I'm not to sure why, but she doesn't have her license." Videl replied, rubbing her temples. "And Gohan is really tied up...I know I said at least an hour, bu the may end up gone for a long time...he's not to sure..."
"That's alright, honey." Bulma soothed. "I'll take Kurt home real quick and you needn't worry. Okay?"
"Thanks so much, Bulma-san." Videl sighed. "I'll be home in about...four hours...madman at the Satan bridge, hold up at the bank...hostage situation there...and a bazillion other things happening at once."
"Okay, you just relax. It's taken care of." Bulma smiled. "Don't worry. I'll do enough of that for both of us. And I'll get the guys to help Gohan. They'llhave him home in a couple hours."
"Thanks, Bulma." Videl gave a tired smile. "You have no idea how much I appreciate this."
"I can take a pretty good guess." Bulma laughed. "Good bye.
"Good bye, Bulma-san, and thanks again."
The two hung up and Bulma called for Kurt, telling him of the situation. He agreed to go home and be baby-sat by Yoko and hopefully get his homework done by bedtime. The boy yawned, he and Trunks were sparring all afternoon, and headed towards the car. Bulma, telling the boy she'd be out in a moment, dashed inside.
After calling Goku and telling Vegita what was going on and them heading to Gohan, via Instant Transmission, then she returned to take Kurt home, apologizing for the wait. She'd been a little longer than she'd anticipated.
Yoko seemed to be a nice person, Kurt had decided, but only long enough for Bulma to leave and get to her car. Then, the girl wasn't nearly so nice anymore. She'd called him a demon at least fifteen times in that many minutes and then told him that he was a good for nothing mutant, telling him that she'd throw him out the window if he didn't agreed.
Kurt was absolutely terrified of the woman. She was not nice at all and her threats were perfectly legitimate. She'd hung him out the frame to prove her point.
Right then, however, the small boy was curled up in a small ball on his bed, trying to remind himself that Gohan and Videl loved him and would do anything for him. He could call one of them, he was sure. Unfortunately he had no access to a phone since Yoko was too busy talking on it. He gave a small whimper and silently pleaded for Gohan of Videl to hurry home.
Suddenly, a very irate looking Yoko stormed into the room. "Get your ass over here, gaki." She snarled, grabbing him by the scruff of the neck. "I said to get me some tea, not water! And you made it COLD on top of it!"
Kurt winced and struggled to free himself. "Kassan doesn't let me use the stove."
"I don't care. She's not here right now, is she." Yoko sneered.
"Iie...she's not." Kurt agreed somewhat fearfully.
"Then it'll look like an accident if anyone investigates, won't it." Yoko snarled.
"H-hai." Kurt gulped.
"Let's see if flying is as fun as it looks." Yoko smirked, and dropped him out the window.
Gohan sighed. He'd had one stressful day. At least Kurt was home and Vegita and Goku showed up to help. There had been a break of crimes today and he was the only one on duty and, thanks to the accident at Hurcule's gym, the only one able to help since Videl was at the emergency Room.
He was taking a relaxing fly when he felt Kurt's ki spike suddenly in distress. Gohan blinked but whne it didn't go down in a few moments like it normally would have, Gohan grew worried. Turning Super Saiya-Jin, the man raced home.
Videl gasped and snapped fully awake. Kurt's ki was rising and it wasn't for fun! The woman bowed to the child's parents and told them she had to run. There were problems at home and she would check up on the boy after they were resolved.
The woman, understanding, agreed and told Videl she'd see her tomorrow after Videl got out of school. Videl, nodding her agreement, dashed outside, turned into Saiya-man two and took off. Hoping she wasn't too late.
Kurt squeezed his eyes shut as he plummeted towards the earth, wishing he was Saiya-Man, or at least that he could fly. The child hid his face in his hands. He had to be getting close. Strong arms wrapped around his thin form and lifted him easily into to air.
"You can open you eyes." Gohan told him gently.
"Otousan?" Kurt looked up. Then frowned. "You're not Otousan." This man had gold hair and cold turquoise eyes. His energy glowed brightly about him, lighting up the street below.
"Actually I am." Gohan smiled, dropping out of Super Saiya-Jin. "It's no surprise you didn't know who I was in that form, but it is me. I'll tell you how later though, okay?"
"You fly?"
"Hai. I do fly. Oh, here's your Kassan. She's missed the fire works, I'm afraid. But would you mind telling me what happened?"
Kurt shuddered and told Gohan everything that took place since he'd gotten home that night. Gohan mouthed silently for a moment and growled. "She's going to pay for that."
Kurt shivered at his cold voice and relaxed in his father's arms. Everything was going to be okay.
(A/N) Well, another chapter! If there are a lot of errors in typing, I'm sorry, I'm on a different keyboard than normal and I'm not quite used to it...but it's all good! Hope you liked! Review, please! Any flames will be used for S'mores.
Later!
