Chapter 9 - feelings unfolding?

Chapter 9.

Gohan and Phoenix arrived at capsule corp. to be greeted by a surprisingly happy Vegetta and a smiling Goku. Phoenix let her hand slip from Gohan's grasp and she then ran into her uncle Vegetta's arms. ``iv'e missed you two P'' he said. ``P'' Gohan asked looking dumbfound. ``pet name'' Phoenix replied. Vegetta gave her a pet name, Vegetta doesn't give people pet name's Gohan thought to himself.

Vegetta the regained his composure and ordered the happy beauty to go and see Bulma, chichi, goten and trunks. ``ok uncie veggie'' came her taunting reply. ``P do not call me uncie Veggie'' he stated angrily. ``whatever you say uncie v!'' she replied. Vegetta the threw a small ki blast at her and she just turned round and froze it in mod air and let out a soft chuckle. ``I'll leave you boy's to your man talk'' she said. Gohan's face turned an amusing shade of crimson.

``what are you looking at brat?'' Vegetta asked Gohan angrily. Gohan didn't reply, he had never seen Vegetta so open it was like his mask had slipped, that was a lie he had seen him like that before but only rarely in Goten our Trunks company, he shook the thoughts out of his head.

Vegetta began to look Gohan up and down was he worthy? He thought to himself indeed he was a lot stronger and powerful than himself but he wouldn't le that brat know that, he wondered what she saw in him…..

`` so you have finally re meet my godchild again have you?'' he asked the shocked young saiyan.
``Phoenix yes we are friends…………GODCHILD'' came his shaky reply
``Why yes she's mine and Bulma's, an Kakarott's and you're mothers godchild'' he snarled at him. ``yes son she's our godchild'' his father said in a serious voice.

``when she was 2 and the source came to kill her and she weakened him I came to her aid, I grabbed a blade that was in her crib and jabbed it into the evil one's shoulder leaving a burning mark, he then in response threatened that he would come back and kill us all and he shimmered out. Then in a blinding light P's family bestowed the right of guardianship upon me, I would train her make her stronger, you're mother to make her feel loved and Bulma to teach her everything she knew.'' Goku stated in an even more serious tone.

`` brat you remember when I first came to this planet don't you? (gohan nodded) good, and you're father over powered me and lay on the ground knackered, (nod) well I was just about to finish him off when a little girl appeared in front of my eye's she knocked me off my feet by moving her hand, then walked towards me and gave me a hug, this mite be strange but she melted the ice around my heart and it's softened. She the laughed at me held my hand and walked me over to Kakarott and healed him in front of my eye's, she had read my mind and she now knew everything about me yet she didn't judge me. She then held mine and Kakarott's hand. Then the source came to try and take her me and Kakarott protected her as best as we could then we two exhausted fell to the ground right in front of the child's feet, then you came to help her Gohan throwing ki balls at him and you then lost you're temper and made a huge ki ball an threw it at him you two now exhausted fell to the ground paralysed by exhaustion the only thing we could, do was watch. P then got angry and fire erupted from her body and raised her into the air she stood 5 feet above the ground and a sword materialised in her hand, she then cut the source's hand off he then fled into the darkness he had created around himself some sort of portal. It was then I noticed what the sword in her hand was Excalibur, brat you know what Excalibur is don't you?'' he then asked the boy.

``Excalibur was wielded by King Arthur ruler of the round table and Camelot , that's what the world was called in those day's'' he stated quickly.

``yes brat, you must get your brains from you're mother, you wouldn't get it from Kakarott here'' he snarled.
``vegetta that hurt I am brainy'' came Goku's hurt response. ``yes yes whatever dumbass, anyway then a bright light encircled us and angelic like figure's stood before us. It was P's family, they asked me if I would be her guardian to train her with Kakarott as they needed the strongest fighters to handle with her raw power, I seeing the sword laden upon her agreed to become her guardian. They then made me promise to take her to the land of fire to train her, there she would be trained in the Wicca way by her white lighter cousin Chris, I would go there with her to protect her and to teach her martial arts, I promised. Then the little child taught me something I thought I'd never do, she taught me to love bulma. Also she taught me how to become a super saiyan, I lied to you all when I told you I became a super saiyan protecting my ship, I became one by protecting her from the source again. He had come to turn Excalibur evil, thus making her evil as well, P though wasn't present since I ordered her to go and channel her Wicca powers in her meditation room, although she sensed that I was in trouble and came to my aide. By now I was weak, her being extremely powerful fought him valiantly she was still at a young age………..something inside her snapped and fire engulfed her and she threw it at the source thus burning the other half of his body which she hadn't burnt last time, she then walked up to him going to finish him off then anther demon came in behind her and threw an energy ball at her, I tried to warn her but to no avail. She then finished the other demon first by strangling him with her mind and then started to kill the source. He then shimmered out vowing to come for her again. She then walked over to me and healed me, I quickly got up to my feet as I saw she had fallen and wasn't breathing, she then asked me to promise her that I would ask Bulma to marry me, I agreed. Gohan you tell anyone about that I'll kill you,(gohan nodded), anyway then a mythical bird rose from within her and swallowed her up and reformed to shoe her alive again.'' he said
``she rose from the ashes like a Phoenix thus her name sake'' Gohan quickly stated.

``yes, anyway then she ordered me to go back to earth, I couldn't refuse her. But before I left, she asked me to help her hide Excalibur and then she put it in stone, thus the sword in the stone, and that leads us to our unfortunate predicament'' Vegetta said

``yes the source is after Excalibur again and he knows he cant get it so he's waiting there for her to come and stop him, we have to go and stop him Gohan if we don't P will be turned evil and forced to become his bride as the one that holds Excalibur…''Goku began to say

``shall rule the earth and the spirit realm'' came Gohan's educated guess.

Meanwhile Phoenix was with chichi and bulma inside capsule corp. having a good old gossip. ``so P had any offer's guy's wise'' Bulma asked, ``what well guy's at school keep on asking me out and fawning over me but none of them are my type they just like me because of the way I look'' she sadly replied. ``hey P what about my Gohan ey?''she asked slyly. Phoenix was blushing madly and chichi could see this. ``well I remember when both of you where six and Gohan threw a small ki ball at you and you fell over and cried, he came up to and apologised and he asked if it would make you feel better if he married you when you where old enough'' she chuckled ``ye pity you put that memory spell on him ey P?'' Bulma commented ``I had to do that to protect him. He needed to…if he knew…he would never….I'm going to see how Goten and trunks are'' she firmly stated. And with that she walked into the room where the younger saiyan's where playing and she joined them as they began to play tig, none of the little one's could touch her as they tried with all their speed to catch her,, she was just too quick or even when they thought they had her she orbed out. ``Goten I have a plan'' trunks said, after all what did you expect from the child of one of the brightest minds in the universe! ``ok trunks I like it'' he replied. Just as they where about to execute their plans the beauty flew up above them ``guy's I can read minds no fusion no you hear me no it's time for you to go to bed now anyway sleep dears'' she said softly and raised her hands and blew sleeping dust from her hands. But before Goten went to sleep he said ``p you gonna have to marry my brother, do it for me'' then the small saiyan fell asleep in her arms. She then put the two to bed by orbing them and went back to see chichi and Bulma. They gestured at her to come and sit with them. ``Phoenix I saw you and Gohan the other day'' Chichi said seriously. Phoenix just blushed madly she knew it was serious when Chichi used her first name. ``we didn't do anything I just we just hugged'' came her sad reply, ``he would have kissed you if I hadn't have interrupted im sorry I did you'll make a great couple'' chichi stammered. ``we wouldn't have I don't….he doesn't like me like that I would have no……''she said. ``have you talked to him about it'' bulma asked. ``how can you be so sure Gohan…..loads of girls like him I can tell I can read their emotions with my empathy…who say's I like him it could just be my empathy taking control of me I cant talk to him'' she stammered in reply. ``you know Bulma knows I know dear don't take this the wrong way but me and Bulma have practically been mother's to you, we know you very well, we know you wont love as you think that everyone you love dies so you're lying to yourself trying to find other reasons for the feeling that you've tried so hard to erase from your self…..that's why you deleted Gohan's memory of you so that he wouldn't return you're feelings now you're back again and you cant help but falling in love with him'' chichi tenderly said. ``chichi…..Bulma…I …..'' she began to say but it was muffled when she began to sob.


Back with the guy's.

``we need to go to the cave and bring the sword back here where we can protect it'' Vegetta said. ``Phoenix doesn't know we are going, and she wont know until we come back if she find's out she will want to come to'' gout said. ``she cannot come with, she is vulnerable at this time, he could easily sway her as she's reaching her blossoming'' vegetta stated . ``blossoming what is that'' gohan asked. ``she's a woman you idiot, hormones+Wicca abilities not a good combination she's all mushy at the moment he could cast demonic spell over her emotions making her his love slave or something, therefore we have to go and save her @$$'' vegetta replied.

``she'll sense our ki's leaving she can read our minds she`ll find out, no way id anyone making her a love slave under my watch over my dead body'' Gohan said. ``we know which is why Chichi is telling her we've gone training in the other world and that`s what chichi thinks we are doing so that P wont try to read her mind, we have it all covered brat my I didn't know you cared about my little P'' Vegetta replied

``the only problem is we don't know how to get there and Vegetta doesn't totally remember where it is and we don't have a lot of time, oh son im sorry we called you when you where about to kiss her'' came his father's comment.

``kiss her why you little brat you leave my P alone'' vegetta bellowed ``dad how did u what in the'' Gohan began to say. ``oh when I couldn't sense you'r ki on this planet I used my instant transmission to find babe to see were you where and I saw it…you nearly got her I think she mite like you I remember when you where 6 and you threw a ki ball at her she then fell over and you asked her if it would make her feel better if you promised to marry her when both of you where old enough'' Goku said merrily, ``what I asked her to marry me and I was 6'' he said shocked ``Gohan kakarott we really don't have the time for this we have to find a way to get there quickly before he gets bored waiting and decides to come get her, I hope we can do this he was very strong last time, it`s bound to have tripled in power even more….I hope we have the strength.'' Vegetta said sounding worried

Gohan looked determined he was not going to let her go not for the world, he then powered up and wished upon a star.

``I have an idea'' he said Gohan then felt his wound where Phoenix had cried on him somehow it was connecting him to her…his plan was crazy…..Gohan began to sense something deep inside him there he felt the power

`` dad vegetta grab on to me'' he said. The elder saiyans did as they where told. A mass of orbs engulfed the three and off they went into the darkness. Gohan orbed.

Phoenix walked to the balcony window contemplating what Chichi had said, she then looked up into the sky and saw a blue mass glow into the distance, she smiled and wished on the star oblivious to it's true nature…..

…………………….to be continued

Will Phoenix ever realise she has feelings for Gohan, will he tell her? Will they ein the fight against the source review to find out!
