Chapter 6- Push to Shove

Kari stared out over the horizon. She was dressed in a form fitting white tee and a pair of blue jeans. She was up on a grassy ledge on one of the mountains near the settlement, which in the six years since it's creation had become more and more of a town. The only thing it was lacking was paved roads. She loved this spot…it was her spot…their spot. She remembered vividly the first time Gohan brought her here and told her of his alien heritage. At first she had been shocked, but the more she thought about it, the more it made sense with how strong he was. She had never before seen him when he was transformed. But when he powered into his Super Saiyan state, she was convinced enough.

'That was three years ago.' She thought to herself. 'It seems so long ago. Back then I had a crush on him but now…' Her thoughts were interrupted as she sensed Gohan approaching.

He landed and smiled warmly at her. He was in a regular black cotton shirt and blue jeans. Normally he wouldn't wear anything but gis, but he wasn't training or planning on fighting today. He sat down on the grass next to her, "Sorry…I haven't been to visit for a while." He said looking out over the landscape with her.

"It's ok…I know things haven't been exactly 'calm' out there." Replied Kari. The rest of the time was spent together in a companionable silence. These were the moments both of them enjoyed the most…no worries, just time with someone who cared.

Bulma sat frustrated in her lab. She was so close, but she couldn't get it. She was starting to think she couldn't do this. The time travel part had been recently achieved, but now she needed to find a way to put it to use, and everything she could think of wouldn't bring the user back.

She tossed all her work off the table. 'Why can't I do this?' Her thoughts drifted to the now adult demi-Saiyan as she laid her head into her arms. At times she felt truly jealous of Kari. She could see it in her eyes…she loved Gohan, but as for how Gohan felt, she wasn't sure, she was afraid to look him in the eyes for fear that her own feeling would be discovered. 'He would think I'm disgusting…I'm like a mother to him.' Tears welled up in her eyes, 'Why do I love him? Everything is just so frustrating!' She nearly jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Is everything alright Bulma?" asked Gohan as he wiped her tears away with one finger then proceeded to pick up all the work Bulma had scattered on the floor.

Bulma began crying, "I just can't take it…e-everything I try won't work. W-what if I'm just not…" Gohan crushed her into a hug before she could finish her sentence.

"You can do this Bulma…you're the only one who can. And if you're having trouble, I will help you." Said Gohan as Bulma continued to soak his shirt with her tears. He had become quite a bit taller than her.

Bulma loved this feeling, the feeling of being cared for and held. She didn't want Gohan's hug to end…she wanted to push herself into him and feel this way all the time…surrounded by him. His scent was intoxicating, like the smell of fresh rain. 'Kami, I want to kiss him so bad…' "Thanks Gohan." She muffled into his chest.

Gohan gave her a small squeeze then once again went to picking up all Bulma's work. "You're welcome Bulma."

Gohan was lying on the roof staring up at the stars. It wasn't often he had time to himself these days, but he didn't care. He just enjoyed the time while it lasted. Two things were weighing heavily on his mind: Bulma and Kari. He cared deeply about both of them. It was like whenever he was with one of them, nothing else mattered, just that he could be there with them. He often times found himself confused about what he was feeling. He had never been in love before, and if this was it, he was uneasy about what he should do, because it was obvious he was in love with both.

He returned inside and went to the lab where he felt Bulma was. They had been working together on the time machine for three days now, and Gohan had already helped solve her problem. Instead of trying to make a machine that would send one into the past, they needed one that would take them into the past…a vehicle. That way a return trip was possible. It wouldn't be easy, but it was manageable, it just was going to take longer than her other ideas would have.

When Gohan walked into the lab he found Bulma asleep…tears falling. He wiped a tear away with his thumb. Bulma seemed to be calmed afterwards and stopped crying. Gohan picked her up and took her to her room. He removed her lab coat and clothes leaving her in her bra and panties. He was sure that she wouldn't mind, especially after having walked in on her naked a few more times after the first. He laid her on the bed and pulled the sheets and blanket over her. He stood and watched her sleep for a while then turned to go to his bed.

"Don't go…" a small whisper reached his ears. Gohan turned to see Bulma eyes open staring longingly at him.

Gohan nodded and turned back to the door to close it then returned to Bulma's bedside and removed his shirt and climbed into bed next to her. She didn't want anything other than to be held, and he knew that. So after wrapping his warm arms around her small frame she went back to sleep. Gohan watched her sleeping in his arms for a while before he too fell into a comfortable sleep, one he hadn't experienced for years.
