Not An Exact Copy [Gohan x OC]

Ch. 24

Year Six

"You really don't need to follow me here..."

"I insist, Nach'!"

"No, seriously, Gohan. Go home!"

"No way! Not after that stunt!"

"You don't even go here!"

"Oh well!"

Nachi groaned, pushing at the other Saiyan's shoulder in annoyance while he laughed it off and brushed off the action.

It'd been another year since that whole kidnapping incident occurred. They never saw King Shuiro and his lackeys again, and according to Vegeta, her pet had been the one who really drove the alien away. Good riddance to them.

She made sure her cat had gotten extra affection from her that only her cat would see. She'd die if she ever got caught from her father while snuggling into the hairless cat.

Something told her he'd seen it before when she wasn't paying attention. Oh well.

Since that day, Gohan made good on his promise of walking her to and from school every day.

It wasn't that she didn't appreciate it. Really, it was sort of... cute to see him go out of his way to make the distance from his home in Mt. Paouz to Capsule Corp, then from her home to Satan City.

She had started Orange Star High School late in the year last year along with everyone else, and she could say the environment change eased her annoyance from middle school.

There was bigger space, newer people and not everyone knew each other just from the middle school since people either went to Orange Star or somewhere else.

Four people she knew from middle school attended school, one of them being a certain Videl Satan.

Ah... that girl.

She could say her and Videl were on friendly terms, for a lack of better term. Nachi didn't know how she managed to conceal her identity from the Cell Games, considering the only difference in her appearance from that day and today is her change in body shape and height. Maybe some loss of child fat from her face, but other than that? It was as if she didn't age.

Her father certainly knew her, that much was given when she saw him a couple of more times when she went over to the Satan household to help the human girl with her English. He never said a word to her, other than the occasional 'hello', then he'd speed out of the area as if he saw a ghost.

Well, he did witness her almost die, so it made sense.

Still, even as her and Videl were on more common base with each other, Nachi refused to call her a friend for the simple fact that she was a Satan.

Petty, she knew. But did she care? Eh.

Gohan locked his arms behind his head, idly glancing around as the familiar building coming up.

He too, was lost in his own thoughts.

For some reason, he was thinking about the person next to him. His best friend.

Back then, Krillin hadn't been wrong when he said he had a small crush on the Saiyan girl. He didn't know it at the time until he asked his mother, and she had squealed to the heavens and said something about daughter-in-law and future grandchildren.

Really, her mother was in a world of her own at the time, but then she sat him down and explained the foreign feelings that he seemed to be experiencing. She went as far as telling him that he may even fall in love with Nachi.
