Chapter 2 - Part 1: A Gangster and A Girl?

2008-07-24T23:24:00.000-07:00

"Goku, thanks for lending me your Maths book. See ya!" Kakutano ran to his seat after giving back Goku's book. "Uhh... no problem Tano." Goku smiled.

Ta, ta, ta. Suddenly foot steps heard from outside the classroom. "Huh?" Everyone looked at the door frightenedly.

The door opened quickly. Someone came in. "Heh..."

"I-is that?! Go-gohan!!!" The students hide their things and began to pretend busy.

Goku and Kakarot blinked. "Who's Gohan?" Goku asked. Kakarot turned his head around. "I don't know, I came here last month." He answered.

"Eirgh!" Gohan rushed to Goku and poke his chest. "Listen here, kid! I'm the leader of all the gangsters in the school, no matter how old they are!" The others covered their face. They didn't want to see Gohan bullying Goku.

"K-kid?" Goku mumbled. "How old are you...?"

"Me? I'm 17! How the hell you didn't see that I'm older than you???" Gohan pulled Goku's collar.

"Ehehe... don't mad. I just asked." Goku sighed. "But... you seemed to be a gangster. Are you?"

Gohan faced down then he scold Goku, "YES I AM!!!!!" He tried to punch Goku.

"Stop it." Everythings silent. Kakarot hold Gohan's hand. "Let him go, now."

Gohan threw Goku to the others. "Goku!!!" One of them yelled. They were all scared then helped Goku.

"Hmph! You guys seemed to be new students..." Gohan smirked. He likes to beat new students because he hates newbies especially boys.

"No... I'm here since last month... but yes, Goku is a new student here." Kakarot stared at Gohan.

"Oh I see... Hmm... I never seen you before and I think you are a brave boy." Gohan stared at Kakarot with the evil eyes. "Wanna play?"

"Play what..." Kakarot sighed. "Well... something interesting. If one of us losts, he'll be flog by the winner's friends." Gohan told him seriously then smirked again.

"Oh... Fight huh?" Kakarot smiled and grasped.

"Then see you after school behind the hall. Don't forget to bring your slow friend with you! Hahaha!" Gohan laughed and left the class.

"Huh... This guy..." Kakarot said softly. He walked to Goku then picked up him. "You don't need to go home early today Goku. We have a meeting." He smiled at Goku. Goku blinked. He had no idea what's going on.

After the incident...

"Alright you guys! We have another new student here!" Mr. Takuno told them. He supposed to be the counsellor but he had to replace Mrs. Ryuuko for 2 weeks. "Please come in, Sashi."

Sashi walked in, then the students looked at her. "Sa-sashi?!" Goku suddenly stood up.

"You know her?" Kakarot shocked after saw Goku acted like that. "Yeah. She's my cousin." Goku sat on his chair back. "Sorry, teacher."

"It's okay. You made everyone shocked." The teacher sighed.

"Your cousin?" Kakarot blinked. "A girl?"

"Yeah, why?" Goku stared at Kakarot innocently.

"No-nothing..." Kakarot blushed. He supposed to hate girls but now he changed.

Sashi introduced herself then the teacher told her to have a seat beside Inui, a girl too. "May I sit here?"

"Sure. Uhm!" Inui smiled happily. Goku and Kakarot looked at Sashi secretly.

"How come she can be here...?" Goku asked to himself then sighed.

"Aww man... she is so cute..." Kakarot thought then blushed.

Suddenly they faced each other. "What were you thinking?!" They asked in the same time.

"Shhhhhhh... We are learning!" Suzuki warned them. "So-sorry!" Goku said. Kakarot just sighed.

"Just forget about her now, Kakarot... There's something bad going to happen today after school... I must get ready." Kakarot thought seriously.

Chapter 1 - Part 5: Tests

2008-07-17T22:34:00.000-07:00

"Yeeeeeesssss!!! I've finished my exam!" Goku yelled excitedly.

"But you haven't received the results yet, Goku." Kakarot giggled.

"Huh... Then why are you laughing? I know you are! I can see it!"

Kakarot laughed. Goku was confused. He didn't know what is wrong with his friend. "Are you having a mental problem?" He blinked.

"N-no! I was laughing at you." The golden hair laughed even more.

Goku glared. "At least don't laugh like that!" He turned his back to Kakarot.

"Hey, hey, hey... Do you know that I've been watching you since the first examination day?" Kakarot stopped laughing and smirked.

"Oh..." Goku sighed. Suddenly, he shocked. "Did you just said, "I've been watching you since the first examination day?"???"

"Yes." Kakarot took out his favourite book.

"Do you mean, you copied my answers?!" Goku asked loudly.

Kakarot sighed. "Why were you thinking I copied your answers?" He stared at Goku.

"You said you've been-"

"Yes. I've been watching you, doesn't mean I copied your answers, idiot." He closed his book.

"Then?!"

"You were acting like the exam papers were too hard."

"What's the same with 'laughing' at me?" Goku sighed again.

"I love the way you acted."

"Huh?"

"You will scratch your face every time when you didn't get what the answer is. Like a cat." Kakarot laughed.

Goku sighed, then covered his face with his bare hands. "How did he saw it?" He thought.

"Furthermore... this is just a simple examination. It's not the real one. You don't need to be so excited." Kakarot read his book while walking left Goku behind.

Goku nodded twice. "I think he's right."

At home...

"Goten, how's your school today?" Goku put his bag on the table inside his room. "School?" Goten blinked. "I don't go to school, brother. Are you dreaming?"

Goku faced down then sighed. "You are so lucky. You don't have to pass exams."

"What's exams?" Goten stared at his brother with the chubby face.

"Exams? They are uhh... some tests for us."

"Are they awesome?!"

"Well, no Goten. We need to think hard to finish it."

"Ohh!!! I would want to try some!" Goten started his puppy eyes. Goku sighed. "No, you can't."

"Why?" Goten with his puppy eyes looking at Goku.

Goku turned around. "Because it is NOT a food." He walked away from Goten.

"It isn't?!" Goten sat on the floor sighed. "I'm hungry."

Goku sighed at the living room. He felt like Goten was hungry. "You've been eaten 7 plates in the restaurant this morning..."

"Huh?" Goten shocked. "I think someone is talking to me?" He mumbled. Then ran to his brother.

"What do you want Goten?" Goku asked Goten with the confused face.

"I... want... nothing." The little chubby face boy sat on the sofa next to his brother.

Goku looked at Goten who was facing down. He pat his brother's head then told him, "Exams are tests for us. We can't eat them. If you want to know more about it, I'll take you to a kindergarden. I'll ask a teacher to explain to you what examination is." Goku smiled.

Goten stared at his brother. "Thank you, bro. But no thanks... I don't want to visit the kindergarden, the teacher will ask where do I school at but I don't have school." He sighed.

"So... do you want to go to school?" Goku smiled happily at his brother.

Goten blushed. "N-no. I only want to go to school when Daddy is back." He sniffed.

"Goten..." Goku sighed and hug Goten. "Dad will come back soon... He will... As sooner as he can... I promised..."

"B-brother." Goten looked sympathy at his brother. Goku hug him tightly.

Chapter 1 - Part 4: Friend's Help

2008-07-15T06:19:00.000-07:00

After a few days...

"The principal was the one who murdered Yasashi Izumiroshi. Yasashi's bride cried along the journey after getting know about her future husband's death. Officer Kurisuyo arrested Principal Amizuki and sent him to the police station. Thanks to Detective Keshi, everythings' going peace once again." Yesterday, Goku read a story about Detective Keshi Den solving his cases. He seems to be like it. "I want to read more of his stories. He's awesome!" He stood up from the chair and walked to the door. "Goten, I'm going to the bookstore today! Wanna follow?"

Goten rushed to his brother. "I want to go! I want to go!" The little boy yelled. "Are we going to buy the new DBZ comic??? I think it's not out yet!"

"No, Goten. We're going to buy Detective Keshi's stories! I love how the way he solved the cases and he can tell by the suspects' alibi." Goku told Goten about his wish.

"Oh... I don't know who is Detective Keshi but... I would like to go there with you!" Goten chilled.
Goku smiled then he said, "Alright Goten! Put on your clothes! You can't go there without a T-shirt." Goten was actually wearing a pair of trousers but he forgot to wear his shirt.

"Wha?! Where's my shirt???" He mumbled. "I should wear it!" Goten rushed to his room. Goku was like, "What what?"

"I guess I have to wait for another 3 minutes for Goten to search for his shirt." He sat on the sofa and sighed. He began to see his watch. "Come on, Goten. I just want to buy his stories not comics." He thought sincerely.

"I'm ready!" Goten stared at his brother. "Are we going now?"

Goku was shocked when he saw his brother face in front of him. "Eh? How long did you take to wear a T-shirt?"

"About 3 minutes?" Goten answered while looking at the clock on the wall.

"I knew it..." Goku smirked. "I knew you'll take that for 3 minutes by the way you walked. Huh..."

"Ohh! Good one bro! Okay, I can't wait to go there!" Goten cheered up. "Come on!" He pulled his brother's arm.

"Okay, okay! Calm down, I can walk by myself, Goten." He told Goten. Then Goten let his arm go. "Thank you." Goku started to walk and Goten followed him.

Sashi looked at them. "Where are they going to?" She put her diary on the table in the living room and called them. "Hey! Where are you two going? May I know?!"

Goku and Goten stopped walking. "We're going to the bookstore, do you want to follow us?" Goku asked gently. Goten pulled his brother's shirt. "Brother, we can't bring her too. She'll buy something else." He said with the puppy eyes.

"Eh?" Goku can't get rid of Goten's eyes and agreed to him. "Oh nevermind, Sashi. We'll take you with us later or sooner."

Sashi blinked. "Oh... fine then. I'll cook sushi for you guys tonight. Don't forget to get home soon." She adviced.

"Okay!" Goku pulled Goten's hand to the door.

Meanwhile in the other house...

"Are you sure you left the magazine here?" Kakarot asked his friend who had lost his favourite magazine. "May be it's in your room..."

Turles stood up. "I know I left it here." He looked around in Kakarot's room. He searched under the pillow, on the bookshelf, in the schoolbag, on the cupboard without any result. "I think I left it in my room. Wait." He went to his room as fast as he can. Kakarot sighed. "What the hell is he thinking? Messing up my room!" He stood in front of the bookshelf and kicked it. "This is all your fault!" Suddenly the bookshelf slowly moved from the wall and fell on him. "Okay... it's my fault..."

"I found it!" Turles yelled. He walked to Kakarot's room and saw Kakarot under the bookshelf. "What are you doing down there?" He blinked. "Shut...up... get me out from here!" Kakarot sighed again.

"Oh, sorry. I'll pick you up." He pulled Kakarot's hands. Ring! Ring! The phone rang suddenly. "I'll get it!" Turles let Kakarot's hands go and rushed to the phone call. "T-turles!!! How about me here?! Awh..." His back hurt. Poor him.

"Hey... Kakarot." Turles was back. "I forgot to buy a novel for my friend! Let's go to the bookstore!" He ran away.

Kakarot sighed. "How do I follow you if you're not helping me to get out from here..." He tried to push his body with his hands but it was hard because the shelf was too heavy with the all of the books. He pulled his legs from the shelf but still stuck. His face were all red. "Help...me..."

"Hey Kakarot, are you going or not?" Turles came to the room. "Oh, I forgot about your problem! Let me help you!" He pulled Kakarot's hands once again. This time, he did it. "Huh... that was hard. You are too heavy." He sighed.

"I am not. The shelf is." Kakarot pointed to the bookshelf and tried to stand up. "I guess... I won't be able to follow you, Turles." He sat on the chair.

"No! You must follow me. Come on! You can buy your sketch book there." Turles promised to Kakarot. "Or are you going to have a date with a person you like, so that's why you said you won't be able to follow me?" He stared at Kakarot.

"No!!! I'll follow you!" Kakarot picked up his jacket and wore them. "Let's go!"

"Oh... I got him muahahah!" Turles thought. He looked at Kakarot. "Why are you always wearing jacket although it's a sunny day?" He blinked. "My style..." Kakarot answered. Then he walked to the door. Turles followed him and closed the door.

At the bookstore...

"I want to buy this comic please!" Goten pulled his brother's shirt. "Please!!!"

"No, Goten. We are here to buy my favourite detective's stories not your comics." Goku glared.

"But..." Goten sniffed. Goku sighed. "Okay, fine. You can buy the-" He wasn't finished yet and Goten already had comics in his hug. "Nevermind." Goku faced down then sighed. "Why is he so fast?" He walked to the mystery books section with the weird face.

"I think he is thinking about me." Goten blinked. "Am I too naughty?"

"Yo, fussy kid." Turles pat the little boy's head. "Ahh!!! It's you! The greedy guy!" Goten shouted. All of the comics fell on the floor.

Kakarot sighed. "Greedy?" Turles pinched Goten's cheeks. "Can't you just be quiet...?" He asked softly. "Oww! Don't touch my cheeks!" Goten pushed his hands off.

"Hi golden hair person. I like your hair but I don't like your face." Goten waved at Kakarot. "My... face?" Kakarot showed his puzzled face. "Yeah your-" Goten began to talk but Goku suddenly shut his mouth. "Ehehe! Sorry, he is my brother! I'm sorry if he disturb you." Goku bow. "You too say sorry, Goten." He whispered to Goten. "Sorry..." Goten stopped sudden. "Why should I say sorry to Turles? He was the one who disturb me!" He glared at Turles.

"I didn't do anything. I just pat your head and suddenly you screamed." Turles denied. Goku blinked. He just noticed that Kakarot was standing in front of him. "EH?!!!!!!!!!!" He was really shocked. "What are you doing here!?"

"Ask this dude." Kakarot sighed and pointed to Turles. "What? Why is it always me?" Turles confused. "Bro! See? He even stepped on my comics!" Goten told his brother. Goku looked below Turles. "Oh yes, he is stepping on them."

Turles was really lost. He doesn't know what were Goku talking about. He faced down and found that, the comics were under his feet. "Wha!!! I didn't mean to step on them!" He surprised.

"Bleh! Liar! You stood on my comics!" Goten scold him. Kakarot already knew that Turles stepped on them but he just kept it as a secret. "Haha... idiots..." He thought quietly.

Goku sighed. "Goten... We'll buy another. There are lots of comics sold here..." He pulled his brother's hand and began to walk. "But brother!" Goten suddenly talked. "No... We can find another... the better ones..." Goku walked without looking at Goten. "Brother...?" Goten worried.

"I'll get you later, lame!" He yelled at Turles. "Lame? Awh! That brat!" Turles glared. Then he turned to Kakarot. "Let's go find the novel!" He left the place.

"Goku..." Kakarot worried too. "He didn't want to start a fight. Hmm... may be it would remind him of something..." He thought by himself. He looked at the comics on the floor. Then, he stared at the shelf. "I think he was searching for detective's stories. He seemed to be came from the mystery books section."

"Kakarot!" Turles called him. "I'm heading there now!" Kakarot replied. "I know what do you want... "Detective Keshi Den - The Unexpected Detective Borns!" Everyone in the school seems to be like it a lot. So as I am... I should buy one for him..." Kakarot smiled.

The next day, when the students were having recess...

"Goku..." Kakarot stared at him. "I have something for you."

"What is it?" Goku stopped reading his detective's story book which he bought yesterday.

"Here. I know you wanted the newest version but you bought the past versions." Kakarot showed Goku a book.

Goku surprised. "This is the 67th Chapter... The newest one...! T-thanks! Thank you so much! I'm really grateful of what you've done!" He was very thankful. He hug the story book and shakehands with Kakarot. Kakarot blinked. "I'm glad he is way too happy." He smiled.

Chapter 1 - Part 3: Hatred...

2008-07-12T05:35:00.000-07:00

"You wouldn't want to know this." Kakarot continued reading his book.

"I know I want to." the new student replied.

"Okay..." Kakarot put the Science book on his desk. "If I tell you, promise to me, don't tell anyone else." he whispered to Goku.

"I promised." Goku nodded once.

"I was born without seeing my parents' faces... I lived with a friend who is almost the same as me. Haven't been with his parents since small. When I was a six year old boy... he's the only one who understood me. Everyone in my neighbourhood, hates me. I'll always being ignored. But not my friend, everyone likes him. I had no idea why does everyone do that to me. I'd rather die than seeing those kinds of people. But... after I met him, I knew that, we can't give up earlier. He taught me something new, talked to me and spent times to hear my problems." Kakarot explained.

"Well... what's the relationship with "I'm not a good person."?" Goku asked gently.

"I betrayed him..." he faces down.

"Betrayed? How come?" Goku blinks.

"Heh... That time I was in trouble with my school's Science experiment. I asked him for help... Then he helped me. At school, when the teacher was checking our experiment's result, he asked is it really me who did this good job. I said I was. And my friend shocked. He thought he was the one who helped me. During the journey from school to our house, he asked me why do I answered that I was the one who did it. I said, "So what? It was my experiment, I need to say I did it although you helped me. You are so easy to be used. Heh..." then I laughed and left him behind. Bad eh?" he explained more than before.

"What? How could you do that to him!? He helped you and you betrayed him! How dare you!" Goku suddenly yelled and everyone looked at them with the confused faces.

"There... I told you before, you wouldn't want to know this." Kakarot smirked. "May be one day, you'll be used by me too..."

Goku glares. "I..."

"Admit it, Son Goku. I know you'll hate me." he picked up his book once again.

"No... I would want to help you." Goku pins the desk.

"Help me? With what?" Kakarot stopped reading. He seems to be shocked.

"I would want to help you! Help you to apologize to him! I know you wanted to do that but you just don't feel right because you are negative!" Goku yelled at his face. The teacher and other students were all confused. They don't know what makes Goku acted like that.

"I never asked anyone to forgive me... So, just shut up, idiot! You don't know what I want and you just keep asking annoying questions!" Kakarot scold him. "Fuck off!"

"Why do you say that to me!? I tried to help you!?" Goku glares again.

"You won't help me 'cause you ARE just an ANNOYER!" he stood up.

"I am WHAT?"

"ANNOYER!!!"

"But I'm trying to help you!"

"That's annoying! I don't need your help!"

"Why???"

"Did I tell you, YOU ARE JUST AN ANNOYER!"

"I am not!"

"You ARE!"

The class were all silence. "You both, enough! Now it's time to study! Not to fight with each other." Mrs. Ryuuko warned them.

"But teacher, he started all these!" Goku replied.

"I didn't, you were the one who started it!" Kakarot glares.

"I wasn't! I was trying to help you, not to annoy you!"

"Can you just be quiet??? I HATE YOU!!! Don't sit next to me!"

"But..."

"SHUT UP!!!"

"..." Goku faces down. He picked up his bag and started to walk to the door. "Fine..." he disappointed. "I was trying to help you... but... nevermind..." he left the class.

"Go...ku..." Kakarot sat on his chair with the sorry face.

The students felt sorry to Goku. Kakarot shouldn't have said that to him. Even Mrs. Ryuuko was speechless.

"That boy, he shouldn't get out from the class without permission." suddenly she talked.

After school...

Goku was sitting on the bench near the school. He was sad. The tears... he can't believe that Kakarot would say such things. "Dad... if only you were here with me..." he spoke softly. "Where are you? Please come back soon..." he sighed. "I miss you..."

"I thought you were going home..." a voice heard from behind him. The familiar voice. Goku turned back and saw Kakarot.

"I just felt... I shouldn't left the class like that..." he said.

Kakarot sat next to him and asked, "Guess what?"

"What?" Goku stares at him.

"You were so stupid."

"I was?..."

"Yes you were. You should hate me after I said I hate you."

"...no. Why should I? You had points there..."

"I thought you would hate me when I scold you like that."

"Oh... It's not something to be hated. I think you were right... about everything..."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes..." Goku faces down and then smiled. "Actually... you didn't know what to say, so that's why you said such things..."

"You..." Kakarot blushed. "You know what I felt..."

"I just guess it out... Your life is full of hatred and you are negative... Usually, when a person is like that, he'll have nothing to say except scolding someone he thinks annoying."

"Awesome..."

"What's awesome?"

"Awesome guess... I like the way you said it..."

"T-thanks..." Goku blushed.

"But..."

"But?"

"There's something missing..."

"What is it?"

"How do you know... my life is full of hatred?"

Goku smirked. "Remember when you tell me about yourself?"

"Y-yes?"

"You said... "Everyone in my neighbourhood, hates me. I'll always being ignored."."

"Oh yes... You can tell by that..."

"And by that too, I know you are alone although you are living with your friend..."

"I see..."

"I was like you..."

"You were? What do you mean?"

"Everyone hates me too..."

"Oh wow..."

"But that happens after a few days I killed my mom..."

"How... cruel... you... were..." Kakarot shocked.

"Yeah... I know I was. Even the policers tried to caught me... but they can't."

"Why?"

"Because that time... I was six... They can't punished a kid..."

"Oh lucky."

"Uhuh... But... at home, my father always scold me, ignored me... But I know... he still loves me."

"How long is that?"

"About... four years..."

"Then is he still acting like that?"

"No... after the police found the truth that, I wasn't killed my mom just for fun, I killed her because she tried to kill me..."

"Okay, then he changed?"

"Yup..."

"Why does your mom tried to kill you? For what?"

"I don't know... She suddenly brought a knife and almost stabbed me with it. I used a glass bottle to hit her head..."

"She wasn't really loved you Goku."

"I think she loved me but she had to that because of something... may be she was stressed..."

"Do you hate her after that?"

"No... I love her. She was the only mom I had..."

"You are so nice... I wish I could be just like you... You're a good person. You never hated anyone..."

"Thanks... You could be just like me if you be nice too." Goku smiled and then faces down.

"I will... one day..."

"Okay." Goku smiled once again. "I'll wait for you."

"R-really?" Kakarot's face were all red.

"Yes. Hehe." Goku laughed after seeing Kakarot blushed too much. "I'm going home now. It's 3:45 o'clock already. We should had went home."

"Right."

"See you tomorrow, friend."

"B-bye... friend?"

Goku smiled. Then he left Kakarot alone.

"Friend... no one ever called me that... except Turles..." he felt happy.

Chapter 1 - Part 2: Conflicts!

2008-07-02T01:36:00.000-07:00

"Are you sure that you are not a quiet person?" Goku asked for sure.

"I didn't say that "I'm not". I said "May be..."." Kakarot answered properly.

Goku faces down. "Oh... I'm sorry, I don't really hear what you said."

"Hm? By the way, Son Goku. Why do you think I'm a good person...?" Kakarot puts his book on the table. "Well?"

"Uhh... actually, it's because I looked at your act. You were acting like you don't care about new students." he answered with the face clueless.

"That doesn't make senses."

"What? Why?"

"Because you said, "I would like to have a seat beside him! I think he's a good person!" to the teacher about 12 minutes ago..."

"Then?" clueless is still on the face.

"Then... it doesn't make any senses at all if you said, "it's because I looked at your act."."

"Well we can tell by the look of the person." Goku smirks.

"That is not true." Kakarot disagreed. He seems to have a point. "Do you know what is the person doing all the time? Do you know if he's really a good folk? Are you sure he is really nice?"

"Uhh... sorry. I guess I'll say all no. You got some points there." Goku faces down again.

"Alright... at least you understand."

"Is that mean, you're not really a good person?" Goku stares at him. He keeps thinking if the answer is "No, I'm a good person."

Everythings silence...
The students turned their head to Goku and Kakarot. Mrs. Ryuuko stops teaching. What they can only hear is the chirping birds.

"Yes, I'm not a good person." Kakarot smiles.

"R-really?" Goku's shocked. His guess was not true.

"I'm smarter than you are if you want to know." Kakarot smirks. "I'm a bad boy. Everyone in the school doesn't really like me, some of them hate me."

The students looking at each other. They always want to know why does everyone hates Kakarot. They never knew anything about him. It's like, he's a mystery boy.

"I don't care if you are smarter than me but why do they hate you?" Goku becomes curious.

Kakarot closes his book. He stares at Goku and smirks. Goku's puzzled. There is something that he needs to know from Kakarot. So as everyone. You too, my readers.

Meanwhile...

"I really want the ice-cream!"

"No ice-cream. My money is done. This is all your fault, kid. You bought some cookies, cakes, peanuts and waffles just for you to eat."

It looks like Goten and Turles is quarelling. Goten wants the ice-cream while Turles is keep telling about his money.

"Hey! If I buy this ice-cream, I promise I won't use your money anymore!" Goten's mad.

"What do you know about money huh? I had to go to the bank for my money and you used it all the time!" said Turles. He is really meant it.

"What do I care? I want my ice-cream! Ice-cream! Ice-cream!" the little boy sniffs.

"Hmph! I want to go home. If you don't want me to send you home, then okay. Go call your brother, Goku after you done crying here." he leaves Goten.

"Bleh! He always like that! He doesn't know that my brother is still in secondary-school! I can walk by myself! I'm not a kid anymore!" Goten walks madly to his home.

At home...

"He's a greedy person, that's why he left you alone like that, Goten!" a girl named Sashi is respecting Goten. She is Goku and Goten's cousin. Sashi also leaves with them.

"I thought so. I really don't like him. He's rude!" Goten pins his table.

"Well then, Goten. Where's your brother? Still not finish the school yet?"

"I think no. Why? Oh yeah, are you supposed to be in the same class as he is?"

"Uhuh. Your mom let me joined the class." Sashi smirks.

"Uh oh! Then you are lucky. You're gonna be with my brother all day! Hehe." he laughed.

"Yessssss!!! That's what I'm waiting for. I want to sit with him in the class. I like him so much!"

"Woah... You really like him. I hope he likes you too."

"Eh? Nah... he never knew anything about love or couple or whatever. He is more focus to his lessons. You know... bookworm." she sits on the chair and puts her head on the table.

"Oh... yes he is. I wonder when he can understand about your feelings. He doesn't even care about you, sis Sashi. But I care." he smiles happily.

"Aww... thanks Goten! I love you!" she hugs Goten tightly and Goten can't breath. Poor him. Sashi likes him too but not as much as she loves Goku.

Chapter 1 - Part 1: Meet Each Other

2008-06-29T02:56:00.000-07:00

"Good Morning, Mrs. Ryuuko!" greets from the student to their class teacher.

"Long time no see, my students." Mrs. Ryuuko is actually just got out from the hospital after being there for two months. "I see... you all missed me. Am I right?"

"Yes teacher!" they agreed. Mrs. Ryuuko is the only one, their be-loved teacher ever.

"Alright students, enough for the scream and shout. We have a new friend here."

"New friend???" they asked to each other.

"Yes, a new friend. If you want to know, he came from Osaka." tells the teacher properly.

"Osaka?!" they seem to be like "OMG!!!".

"I have a friend from Osaka! This is so cool!" one of them yelled.

"Oh, you guys never met Osaka's?" asked the teacher after she saw her students acted.

"No." they answered.

"I see. So now is your best chance, my students. I'm going to introduce you, an Osaka person." Mrs. Ryuuko smiles.

"Huh..." everyone hold their breath.

"Okay, Goku. Please come in. This is your class."

A teenager walks in. With a smile and face down. "H-hello, everyone!" he said with the red face.

"Hi!!!" the students cheer up.

"Now, Goku. Introduce yourself." the teacher leaves him and sit on the chair.

"Uhh..." he is shy.

"Hm???" the students stand up except Kakarot.

"Ah... My name is Son Goku! I'm from Osaka! I come here to learn in this school! And my parents start working here yesterday!" he talks forcely.

"Oh..."
"Wow! You seem to be a rich boy!"
"Yeah!!!"
"Hey, I think he is a shy boy. Haha!"
"But he's cute, right girls???"
"I love his hair!"
"Goku! You can sit with us here~"

The students never stop to talk about him.

"Uhh..." he faces down.

"Oh gosh, students! Calm down all. He is still new here. So don't talk nonsense about him." the teacher suddenly pins the table.

"Goku needs to sit with me teacher!" one of the girls said.

"Aww, Mayuko. I'm sorry but Goku has to sit with boys not girls." Mrs. Ryuuko pushes Goku to the boys' side. "Alright my new student, where do you want to sit?"

"I..." he looks around. "I would like to sit beside him! He seems to be a good person!" Goku points to Kakarot.

"Okay as you wish Goku." the teacher smiles again. "Kakarot, would you mine if this friend have a seat beside you?"

"What do I care..." he answered.

"Oh. Nevermind. Goku, you can sit now."

"Thanks teacher." he bows.

"Oh." the teacher bows too. "This boy is very gentle."

Goku sits beside Kakarot. He looks around again. Everyone is afraid of something. "Wha? What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?" he's confused.

"No-nothing!" they turned around. Mrs. Ryuuko was confused too. She doesn't know what's wrong with sitting beside Kakarot.

Goku puts his bag in the desk. Suddenly, Kakarot caught his hand.

"Don't put your bag before checking is there anything left in the desk." he tells Goku softly.

"Oh... okay." Goku checks out the desk's drawer. "Nothing here. So, can I put my bag now?"

"Sure." Kakarot lets Goku's hand free again.

He put his bag. "Are you a quiet person?" he asked gently.

"May be..." Kakarot continues reading his book.
