| Feeding the Flames part 14 By: Juuchan Gohan had been quite busy. Between helping Trunks, hunting, running deliveries and messages for Bulma, and various tasks related to the new house, his days were filled to bursting. But he was looking forward to a short break from at least one job, if things worked out. He thought that he'd located the perfect site for the house, following Trunks' criteria. Now all he needed was a way to show it to him for approval, and he could then help Bulma plan out how the house might be concealed. He should ask Trunks as well. Though most of his time had always been occupied with how to defeat the Jinzouningen, he was very intelligent, and likely already had some ideas. He spoke to Trunks about it later that day, just after a large lunch. It was decided that the most expedient method would simply be for Trunks to accompany Gohan to it, but with as much stealth as possible so as not to alert their enemies to their position. Gohan was nervous about risking Trunks, but if they were careful he should be fine. Of course, he'd also considered Capsule Corp. secure, so he wasn't certain about his judgement. Worry plagued him on the trip over. They landed in a sheltered, wooded valley which held a stream running through its center, and was surrounded on all sides by high hills or mountains. You could reach it by foot, but locating the path was difficult. He figured if they could just keep enough trees around the house that it couldn't be spotted from the air, they should be fine. He'd actually found it while hunting, not while actually working on a new location. He waited for Trunks' reaction. Trunks turned about, looking all over the valley, where beams of light shone down through the leaves to puddle on the ground. Into the mountains, thick with trees and game. At the stream, large stones scattered about in it producing entrancing ripples. Then he turned to Gohan and smiled. "Perfect." |
