Chapter 6
Junior was the first one to sense someone coming while Mejihen was busy trying the wonders of bubble gum. He shook Mejihen’s arm and told him that he felt someone coming. He was ecstatic when he felt the ki of his sister, Pan, and that Bra was with her. They looked in the direction where they felt they were coming from. Pan was the first to land on the ground. She took one look at Junior and the first thing she noticed were all the cuts and bruises he had on his body. Then she noticed Mejihen.
Pan grabbed Mejihen be the throat and pushed him against a tree. He winced in pain, fear and surprise.
“All right, who are you and what the hell are you doing with Junior?” she hissed.
Mejihen took one look into her eyes and felt his knees shake. He was terrified, mainly not for his life, but it looked as though she could make him wish he was dead. ‘Oh crap, she’s scarier than Akuma!’ he though. He couldn’t even open his mouth to speak he was so scared.
“Pan, wait!! Don’t hurt him!!” Junior cried out, but Pan didn’t hear him. She was too focused on Mejihen. He was definitely from her dream, all right, and it was better not to trust him.
“What the hell are you doing here, you silver haired freak?! Well, it was a mistake coming here. I’m not going to let you hurt my family!” Pan growled as she started powering up.
“Pan, wait!” Bra shouted.
“Pan!!” Junior’s efforts to get to his feet were worthless because he kept falling down in pain.
Mejihen heart was about burst out chest. ‘What did I ever do to her!!!!’ he thought. He felt the bubble gum that he had in his mouth get stuck in the back of his throat. If he wasn’t choking before with Pan’s hand clamped tightly on his throat, he was definitely choking now.
“That’s it, asshole! You should have said something to you defense!” Pan took her free arm and started to gather energy for it. Bra and Junior were frozen in place. They couldn’t move as they watched Pan about to killed Mejihen.
“PAN!!!!! LET HIM GO THIS INSTANT!!!”
Pan stopped powering up and dropped her arm but she didn’t let go of Mejihen and didn’t turn her face away. By this time Mejihen was struggling to get air and tried to wrench her hand from his neck.
“PAN!!! Did you not hear me?!! I said let go of him!!” Gohan shouted. He was shocked and angry at Pan’s behavior.
Pan reluctantly loosened her hand and scowled at the ground. Mejihen fell to the ground holding his neck and coughed out the gum. When he was finally about to get some air, he backed up against the tree and stared at Pan, mostly out of fear and awaiting her next move. He was sure that she was about to kick his head off and second.
“All right, all of you what’s going on?” Gohan said. He looked at Pan then Bra then to Junior. He went over to Junior and looked at his injuries. “I fell down a hill, daddy, and Mejihen helped me.” Junior said. Gohan finally took more notice to Mejihen. His hair was a mess, there was dirt and sticky candy stuff on his face. He clothes also looked as though he had taken quite a beating. There was blood on his shirt, but not too much of it, and his pants looked torn. He looked like any regular bum expect for the fact that he was beat up and then there were the eyes. Normally, if you don’t look, it just appeared that he had silverish-gray eyes. But a closer look showed there was something different. His eyes didn’t seem to have pupils. The only color was the color of the iris.
Gohan picked Junior up and put his bag over his shoulder. He turned to Mejihen. “Thank you for taking care of my son for the time being. Seeing that you don’t have a place to stay, you are invited to stay with us. Is that okay with you?” Gohan asked. Mejihen nodded and glanced at Pan as she started to growl. “That’s good. I know that if Junior trusts you, I can hope that I can trust you.” He turned to Pan. “And I hope I can trust you too. I don’t want you to attack anybody for no reason anymore.” He turned back to Mejihen. “Can you fly?” He shook his head no. Then a sudden fear went through his spine. He was sure these people could fly. Gohan was carrying Junior, and that left Pan and Bra. One look at Pan told him that she was thinking the same thing he was thinking, and that if she had to carry him, she’ll most likely drop him. Mejihen swallowed deep and looked back at Gohan, but he looked at Bra.
“Bra, I hope you don’t mind carrying our friend to our house now, would you?” Bra shook her head, indicating that she probably would want to carry Mejihen to keep him safe from Pan. Mejihen sighed in relief. Maybe I’ll live towards the end of the day, he though.
Gohan this time looked at everybody. “I don’t want to hear anything now. I’m tired and its been a long night,” everybody agreed in the inside. “I don’t want trouble from any one of you. Pan, Bra, I hope you have a good reason for not being in school today. It doesn’t matter now. Lets go and talk later.”
He hovered above the trees and waited for Pan and Bra. Pan blasted off the ground, still mad, and not looking at anyone. Bra came up to Mejihen. They shared a quick greeting then Bra went in back of him and wrapped her arms around his chest tightly. He winced with pain but she took no notice. They both lifted off the ground and floated to the group in silence. They flew to Gohan’s home in silence knowing not to disobey him. Even Junior kept his mouth shut as he held onto his dad tighter when they flew.
