Chapter 7

Bra eyed Gohan on the way back. He lied to everyone about trusting this guy and she knew it. Pan was stilled pissed, and there had to be a good reason why she didn’t trust him or better yet, why she was about to kill him. Junior was the only one that seemed to like this guy, but he always got attached to everybody. Now it was a matter of whether she trusted him. Bra decided that she wasn’t sure. For some reason, she couldn’t feel anything coming from this guy, no ki, no emotions. She didn’t know what his intentions were and that was the one of the reasons why she couldn’t trust him.

Bra realized something. There were certain times that Juniors ki disappeared and reappeared in the forest. She couldn’t feel him ki and everybody was too upset, mad or tired to notice this. She flew up to Gohan.

“Hey Gohan, I need to ask you a something.”

Gohan looked at her while Mejihen turned his head slightly so he could listen and watch the scenery below.

“Gohan can you feel my ki, or this guy’s ki even?” she asked while motioning to Mejihen.

Gohan looked at her then concentrated a little. His eyes opened wide in surprise and he slowed down a bit. Mejihen looked up at the two, interested in what they were going to say. He already knew what they were talking about but he was a bit surprised himself to hear her ask whether Gohan could feel his ki. He didn’t think that anyone else but the sensitives could feel ki. Although, he did have a feeling that this wasn’t going to be the only time he will be surprised.

Gohan looked directly at Mejihen. “All right, who are you. Lets start off with your name.”

Mejihen nodded and spoke. “My name is Mejihen and I come from the planet Chelandria. There is a reason why you can’t feel my ki, or this lady’s ki...”

“Bra. My name is Bra.”

“Right, Bra. And you are Gohan, am I correct?”

“Right, go on.”

“Yes, well, the reason why you can’t feel it will be part of a story I will tell you as soon as we get any warriors that can help me. I rather say my story once and not a multitude of times.”

Gohan’s eyes narrowed a bit as he stared at Mejihen. Junior looked up from his fathers arms and Pan flew closer to hear the conversation.

“I’ll be very interested in what you say. I’m sure there is a very good reason why you are here. But we’ll be keeping a close eye on you, I hope you don’t mind. When we get an alien visitor, it isn’t actually a good thing. That also means that you have to listen to everything that we say. Is that clear?” Gohan asked.

Mejihen nodded his head. “I don’t mind. I do come in peace.” Gohan nodded and looked straight ahead. Junior looked at Mejihen and half smiled. Mejihen smiled sadly back and looked back down to the scenery below. Pan watched the two suspiciously and looked ahead. Bra looked ahead and wondered what Mejihen’s story might be.

The group was heading for ChiChi’s house. It ended up being a house used for small vacations after Goku left. For some reason, ChiChi refused to leave her house. She had lived most of her life there and it was the house that she raised both of her sons. After they moved away to Satan city, she refused to go. Finally, it was decided that anytime there was a vacation of some sort, they would stay with her in the house. Summer was just about over and that would mean that Junior would be going to school. Videl had finally convinced her to come with them to the city and stay in their home when summer would finally end. They would still keep the house and use it the same way they had for the past couple of years. There was a week left in the summer so Videl and ChiChi were in the house waiting for them.

The house came in view to the group. Mejihen looked at the house and wondered if this is where the most powerful warriors in the universe live. He was a bit surprised by this. Everybody landed at the front door of the house and Bra let go of Mejihen. He took in the scenery around the house and thought it was beautiful. Green mountains were around them and in the background while a forest wasn’t too far from where he was. Birds of all kinds were singing, and he could say that he felt in peace in this place. That didn’t last for too long. He broke from his trance to see a lady burst out of the house. This lady looked a lot like Pan except for the fact that most of her hair was gray.

“Junior!! Junior, my precious Junior!!” She ran to Gohan and grabbed Junior out of his hands. Junior looked as though he would run out of air by the way ChiChi was squeezing/hugging him. “Junior, my Junior...” She let go of Junior slightly and looked at him face to face.

“How could you leave just like that!!! Do you understand how worried everyone was!! What were you thinking?!

Junior cast his eyes to the ground. “I’m sorry Grandma. I didn’t mean to make you worry. Can you forgive me?” Junior looked back at ChiChi with sad eyes. ChiChi sighed. “Like father, like son. At least you left a note when you left.” ChiChi glared at Gohan. Gohan just smiled and put his hand in back of his head. Videl came out the door and ran over to ChiChi and took Junior from her arms. “Hi mama. Did you worry too?”

Videl smiled at Junior. “Did you know that when Pan was your age, she flew around the world by herself? She didn’t exactly tell me she was going to do that either. I almost expected that you would do something similar seeing as you two are so close.” She smiled at Pan. Pan smiled for the first time in the past hour, and for Mejihen, that was the first time he had seen her smile. He was surprised that someone as sour and scary as Pan could smile. He still felt freaked out about the forest and felt that the worst mistake that he made was to look into her eyes. Although, he thought, the smile did suite her better.

Videl spoke again. “Pan, Bra, aren’t you two supposed to at school? What brings you guys here?”

“Well, we kind of were exploring, and well, I think we should talk about it inside. It all has to do with this guy.” Bra said, pointing towards Mejihen with her thumb.

Mejihen smiled and waved his hand hello. “Hi, my name is Mejihen and I, uhhhh.....” He suddenly felt a little nervious and his face flushed a bit. He wasn’t sure what to say next.

ChiChi noticed this and clapped her hands together. “Well, I don’t know about you guys, but I think we should do this inside. I’m sure we can all talk inside with a nice cup of tea and some food. I’m sure all of you are hungry. But, after this young man, Mejihen was it? Well after Mejihen here has taken a bath and given a new set of clothes. I’m sure you all aren’t going to make him talk with the clothes he’s wearing. Now inside, everybody, come on!!”

Mejihen inwardly sighed in relief. This was going to give him a chance to word what he was going to say. He wondered how they would all react to his story. But right now, a bath, clean clothes and food sounded really good before anything else.
