Everyone: THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!! bursts into tears. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
ENJOY!
Kurt raced from the house and the man who used to be his savior tears falling freely down his face. No one would come after him, they never did. No one ever cared enough to give chase, not even the bullies. He slipped into an alley near a bar and, curling up in a ball, began to cry.
Gohan snarled wordlessly at the earth's "savior". Videl's eyes narrowed at her father. "How DARE you!" She ground out in little more than a hiss. Her voice was low and menacing, but what really truly scared Hurcule was the look etched on Gohan's face.
It was dark and stormy, his eyes flashing from black to turquoise at irregular intervals. His hair was slowly lifting off his neck and creating a halo that flickered between gold and black. The demi Saiya-Jin now looked like a demi GOD and it scared Hurcule more than he was willing to admit.
"How dare you..." The half Saiya-Jin breathed in rage, losing the both battles he'd been waging: one to hold in his temper, the other to keep himself from turning into a Super Saiya-Jin. "How dare you speak of our SON in such a manner..."
Hurcule took one look at Gohan and scrambled to move further away. The younger man had never been openly hostile to anyone really, and especially not Hurcule, but there were always exceptions. This seemed to be one. The demi Saiya-Jin moved with lightning speed, knocking Hurcule out cold.
"We have to find Kurt." Gohan whispered. Thirty minutes had already passed and now time was running short.
Videl nodded, and both changed into their Saiya-man costumes, auras igniting and making the rain sizzle on them. "Track his ki!" Videl shouted, taking off. Gohan nodded in mute agreement, following closely behind his mate.
The voices were drawing nearer, Kurt knew it and he knew that is wasn't a good sign. No one ever left him alone when they found him, and he knew that this was going to be a painful experience.
"Hey, Jim!" One of them slurred. "Lookit this lil'shit I found! 'E's a lil' mutie!"
The two men were obviously drunk. Kurt shivered in fear, waiting for the blows and taunting he knew would be coming. He was right.
The first blow knocked the wind out of him, a kick to his back. The small boy coughed, trying to get air back into his lungs when the second blow caught him off guard and, quite soundly, in the stomach.
"S-s-sto-op. P-pl-ease!" Kurt wheezed, finally getting the much needed oxegyn into his body.
"I don't think so, little mutie!" The second man, Jim, laughed. "C'mon Antonio, show him we don' like muties!"
"Please!" Kurt begged. Antonio laughed at his whimpered please.
"I know how to shut him up." He laughed, grabbing Kurt by the neck and forcing his lip onto Kurt's. The boy whimpered, squeezing his eyes shut.
"I recommend you unhand my son." A cold voice snarled.
Kurt felt himself being dropped and then some one caught him.
"Kurt?" The voice was worried. And definitely female. A female Kurt knew as Okassan. Videl.
"O-okas-Okassan?" He forced his eyes open.
"Hai, angel. It's me." Videl held him close as he began to cry, rubbing his back gently and whispering nonsense comfort words into his ear.
Gohan was at the back of the alley, beating on the two men. "Don't you ever come near my son again." He growled, raising his fists. "Don't you ever."
The men, nearly unconscience, nodded in agreement and were promptly thrown into an ungraceful heap and the back of the alley.
"Is he okay, Dear Heart?" Gohan asked Videl, mindful of the now sleeping boy.
"As well as could be expected." She nodded, shifting him slightly. "But I think it's time to go home."
"You take him. I need to talk to your father and my own. And probably Vegita too." Gohan sighed, rubbing his face. "He's not going to be too happy with me. I'll see you later, Dear Heart."
"All right, Love. I'll get him home and tucked in. You go on." She agreed, tipping her head up for a quick kiss.
Gohan complied and flew off.
"Let's see." Gohan muttered to himself. "Father first, I think, so I don't kill Hurcule, then Hurcule, and then Vegita, whom I hopefully won't kill after talk to Hurcule..."
Having decided this course of action, he headed towards his family's small house in the 439 mountain area.
"Otousan? Otousan!" Gohan sighed, throwing a stone lightly at his parents window, knowing it would wake his Okassan. They were warriors, but occasionally they needed a heavy sleep they didnt' often get. His Okassan, however, was always a light sleeper.
Sure enough, she showed up at the window, moments later. "Gohan?"
"Sorry, Okassan, but I need to talk to Tousan." He blushed. "And I didnt' want to wake Goten."
"That's fine." She nodded. "Goku, our oldest son needs you."
"Huh? Sure." Goku leapt lightly out the window, floating down to meet Gohan. Chichi sighed, and shook her head. They NEVER USED THE DAMN DOOR!
"Sorry about showing up so late, Tousan, but it's about Kurt..." Gohan trailed off, then began to explain what had transpired over the past few weeks. Goku listened with a frown.
"I don't know, Gohan. He seems to just need love. But tonight really complicates things. You found him, right? Before anything really bad could happen?"
"Just some moron kissing him."
"I'd ask Bulma about that. You could file charges...unless you killed him?"
"Not quite, I think."
"Well, no matter. The important thing is that Kurt is okay. Now, as for action, I recommend you set Hurcule straight but try not to take Kurt to see him until Kurt is ready. You'll know when that is." Goku looked deep in thought.
He really was smart, Gohan reflected later as he headed towards Satan City again. He hid it so people would underestimate him, he knew a lot. The cheerful mask gained trust and most assumed him dim. But the Saiya-Jin really wasn't, Vegita had even admitted that (after numerous threats from his mate).
Gohan landed in Hurcule's yard, evaded the "security" guards and traps, and then entered the house by way of key. He really was stupid. Gohan sighed and headed towards the bumbling fool's room. "I think you owe my son an apology." Gohan stated from the door way.
Hurcule gasped in shock and whirled around to face the Demi Saiya-Jin. "How did you get in here?" He demanded. "I ordered them not to let you..."
"Your security's a joke, old man." Gohan mentally groaned. Now he was turning into Vegita! "Like they could stop ME. Super fast, super strong, and super smart Demi Saiya-Jin? Married your daughter? Remember me?"
"Get out of here right now, Gohan." Hurcule managed to spit his name like a curse.
"Feh." Gohan snorted in contempt. "I think not. You owe my son an apology. You may not like me, but that is not a reason to take it out on Kurt."
"That is not the reason. He's a freak! A mutant! A..."
"I'm an alien. What's your point?" Gohan crossed his arms over his chest. "Now, are you going to apologize?"
"He's not worth my time."
Gohan's countenance grew cold. "He is more than you will ever be you sleazy liar."
"What did you call me?"
"Oh come on Hurcule. You and I both know you haven't done half of what you said you have. Cell? Me. Buu? Otousan. Tenkaichi Boudokai? I know you paid off Eighteen at least once. You think me stupid, do you not?"
Hurcule blustered over that for a moment and shuddered. "I apologize to you and your son. Now get out of my house."
"I will not accept it until you mean it, old man. But I will leave, if only so I don't kill you." Gohan wordlessly opened the window and took off into the night.
Time to visit Vegita.
"What do you want, gaki?" Vegita snarled after being woken from a rather sound sleep by one extremely upset demi Saiya-Jin.
"Need some...answers, Vegita." He admitted.
"About what? Can't you ask your Otousan?" Vegita sneered.
"It's about our race." Gohan replied dryly. "You going to help me or not?"
"Fine, gaki. But you better make this fast." Vegita tried to sound menacing, and it would have worked quit well if Gohan hadn't known him as well as he did.
"Well, it's Kurt...I dont' know what's going on. I feel so...protective....of him. Not like anyone else, not even Videl, and she's my MATE! Do you have any idea what's going on?" Gohan looked hopefully at the Saiya-Jin prince.
"It's just Saiya-Jin instincts, gaki." He waved a hand at the younger man. "You've accepted the kid as your own. You feel the way and father would."
"Including you?" Gohan couldn't help but ask.
Vegita looked at him for a brief moment before replying, "Yes, even me."
"Is this why my father always seemed to have to protect me? Because of this...instinct?"
"Hai. No go home, gaki. Your wife is going to be angry and your son will be upset if you're not there when he wakes."
Gohan nodded once and took off. "Hey Vegita? Thanks."
The prince huffed, gave a slight nod, and went back inside.
Gohan took his time getting home, he had a lot to think about. He arrived shortly before dawn, not realizing just how much time had gone by. He went in through the window and looked at his sleeping mate with a smile. He was going to check out the adoption process today. They would adopt Kurt even if he had to get Bulma involved. Nothing was going to stop him from doing this.
Kurt's eyes flickered open groggily as he woke up. It was still early and he couldn't remember falling asleep in the first place. The events from the night before came rushing back to him in an instant and he cried out from the memories. "Otousan?" He whispered. He couldn't remember seeing Gohan at all last night, Videl taking the main role in his mind.
"Good Morning, Kurt." Someone whispered softly. He jumped slightly and turned instinctively to the voice.
"Otousan?"
"Yes, angel?"
"Where- where were you last night?"
"Taking care of some...business." Gohan replied, sitting next to the child. "How do you feel?"
"Tired." He admitted. I-I just don't know what happened...I don't want to remember..."
"I know that feeling, but you have to remember if you want it to get better." Gohan replied. "Now, how about some breakfast? Then, you and Videl were going to spend some time together."
"Really? What about...what about you?"
"I have to check out some very important business...about you no less, and involving adoption..."
"You-you're going to see about adopting me today? You mean it? I-I-I cant' believe it!"
Gohan laughed and smoothed his hair back. "You should. Now how about that breakfast?"
Kurt laughed happily as he raced from the room.
(A/N) the not-so-exciting completion of last chapters episode. sighs Oh well. I hope you all liked it.
Review, please. And I request no flames this time. My already low ego has taken great amounts of damage and is in need of repair. Thank you for all your support. Oh yeah. Death threats are fine as long as it's about how great this is and you'll me if you have to wait for an update.
Later!
