Chapter 9 Snake in the Grass

"Ahhhh" was all that was heard in the under ground Red Ribbon Army facilities. Many middle school students were undergoing probes and drugs being inserted into their bodies. As a man with a Red Ribbon army hat was watching the experiment specimens being probed a member of the Red Shark gang approached him.

"Hey man we better be getting paid big time for this! Do you understand how many of us were hurt and captured. That new superhero is a freaking monster."

"Ahaha I know about that 'superhero' and believe me he won't be a problem for all of these agents. Once we get enough people on our side and under my control… he won't be able to stand a chance bwahahaha. BWAHAHAHA!" He yelled with his ominious laughter as he continued to watch the kidnapped middle school students continued being probed.

Back at Orange Star High

"What?! Videl why the hell would you want me to train you? You have your father isn't that good enough?"

"Actually no it isn't good enough. My father hasn't been showing me any new techniques because he believes that I am not ready. I am hoping that with your training then I can do without the need of that new superhero." She said which Gohan inwardly smirked to.

"Alright Videl I will give it some thought."

"What? You have to think about it?! You should already answer yes what the hell Gohan! I really need your help!"

"Tuff Videl! I have things I need to do as well. I will give you an answer tomorrow got it?" Gohan said with a stern voice which made Videl flinch to.

"Yes Gohan I understand." She said as she ran off through the rooftop door.

'Shit bad things are always happing to me aren't they?' Gohan thought to himself as he went to the ledge of the rooftop and sat down, staring out over the city.

Earlier with Trunks

"What is so important that you wanted me to come along with?" Bulla asked

"Oh nothing much I just wanted you to give Gohan some space. You know he is going through a lot right now? Having arranged marriages, protecting the city, and being groomed to take the throne at such a young age… I just think that he needed some time alone to deal with that. Gohan doesn't like to show it, but he is tired, quite tired and he needs a break."

Bulla had a surprised look and then had a look of guilt, "Wow Trunks I didn't know… I really was unaware I didn't know."

"Yeah I am sure you didn't." He said as Erasa appeared out of her class with tears in her eyes. "Hey Era-, wait a second Erasa what's wrong?" Trunks asked as he pulled her into a tight hug.

"Trunks! It's my little sister! She was taken at the middle school that was attacked by the Red Shark gang! I don't know what to do! All I know is that I want her back!" She screamed crying in Trunks's arms.

"Shh shh shh Erasa don't worry everything will be fine I am sure your sister will show up. So don't worry everything will be fine" Trunks said with his reassuring voice.

"But Trunks I am just so worried!"

"I know sweetheart but everything will resolve itself trust me." He said as he pulled her in tighter. "Do you want me to take you home today. I am sure the principal will be sympathetic to what has happened and will allow you time with your family."

"Yes Trunks I would really appreciate that" Erasa said as Trunks released her and took her hand

"Hey Bulla could you find Lime and tell her that it will be you and Gohan again for today" he said as she nodded "okay thanks."

Back with Gohan

RING RING RING! The bell rung signaling that it was time for the final classes. Gohan stood up from his spot on the roof and made his way back into class. The rest of the classes passed rather quickly especially since Trunks was not present. Bulla then filled Gohan in on the situation which he felt very guilty for letting his arrogance blind him again. 'Damn it why again! Can't I do anything right he thought. The best we can do is wait for any evidence of their whereabouts.'

P.E soon came and the teacher asked the students what they would like to do for their activities today. The unamious decision was martial arts with an exclamation point on the end. Most of the student were hoping that they could see another showdown between Gohan and Videl and see who would actually win in a fight.

"Okay since the decision is martial arts may I have a couple of volunteers?" the P.E teacher asked. Videl's hand instantly shot up and she knew no one would raise their hand since they were all afraid of getting beaten down by her. There for the only option left was Gohan and she knew the teacher would pick Gohan if no one else raised their hands. After a couple of seconds…

"Okay it looks like I have no other choice but Gohan seeing as how well you did would you like to participate?"

"Uh no thanks teacher I believe that Bulla would love to have a go at someone skilled in martial arts though" Gohan said as everyone looked toward Bulla who was smiling and actually had her hand up.

"Are you sure you wanna do this sweetheart?" Videl questioned as Bulla's smile turned into a scowl.

"Okay, well now I am sorry if you feel some pain from how hard you will hit the ground" Bulla said while walking to the ring.

"Gohan what the hell are you thinking! You know the only one that stands a chance is you!" Videl said enraged as she went into the ring with Bulla already inside.

"Fine Bulla let's make this quick that way I could fight Gohan over there."

"I think you will be too hurt to fight Gohan" Bulla said as she charged toward Videl and threw a quick uppercut into Videl's stomach that made her cough out saliva. 'What the hell is up with this speed' Videl thought as she continued taking a beating from Bulla, who continued her assault on her mid-section. Bulla then started attacking her chest sending punches to the center of her chest and attacking her rib-cage again. Bulla then ceased her attacks and Videl fell to her knees coughing up saliva with traces of blood in it. Bulla then bowed and walked out of the ring with a blank expression on her face, while the entire class was silent and astonished. The bell rang and everyone rushed off to the locker rooms with the exception of Videl, Bulla and Gohan.

"Videl it is never good to underestimate people. There are many people who are stronger than you and much more level-headed than you. If I were to teach you anything then this would be the first lesson. As I told you before I will let you know of my decision tomorrow." Gohan said as he turned around and began walking away.

"Nothing personal Videl I just don't like being looked down upon" Bulla said as she left Videl in the ring on her knees and jogged away to catch up to Gohan who was walking toward the locker rooms.

'Why' was all Videl thought as she stayed there on her knees in the ring, that was until she received a call.

"Videl we have some good news! Those students that were kidnapped were found in the truck. It seems that the kidnapper abandoned the students after the truck ran out of gas dude to the heavy weight of all those who were kidnapped." The chief said through the communicator.

"Good… thanks chief." She said as she hung up her communicator and got up from the ring and started running toward the locker room.

Back With Gohan

"It seems that Videl wants me to train her Lime, Bulla."

"What really?! It seems she finally learned that her father is a lying piece of shit" Lime said as Gohan drove both of them to Capsule Corp.

"Hehe actually not. She only believes that training with me will get her ready for training with her father. So I am so far deciding against it."

Bulla then interjected "Well think about it Gohan you have many things to do such as training on your own, school, grooming lessons for your soon to be kingdom, and also now patrolling the city which you should be doing now."

"Aww damn it your right Bulla." He said as they all got out of the jet "Hey Lime to you wanna take the jet home today?"

"No Gohan I can actually fly home today. I have been working on my ki control and output so I am fine. I guess I will see you guys at school tomorrow" Lime said as she took off into the sky.

"Wow for a human you she is pretty strong hehehe don't you thing Bulla?" he said as Bulla frowned

"Hey Gohan shouldn't you be patrolling." She asked impatiently.

"Yeah, yeah I am on it" he said as he pressed the red button twice and changed into his gear and transformed into a super saiyan three. "Okay see you later beautiful" he winked at her and she blushed as he took off at supersonic speeds.

A couple minutes later with Gohan

'Okay nothing going on here' he thought as he flew high above the city. 'Now to check the outskirts' he thought as he flew and saw a truck in the middle of the road. 'Wait what the hell is that' was passing through his mind as he flew down and approached the truck. As he ripped the back doors open he saw a bunch of children in the cargo hold tied up, blind folded, and gagged.

"Shit looks like someone didn't want you guys to know where the fuck you were going. Well anyways I will give you a free ride to town" he said as he pulled the truck up carefully and flew it back into town.

Videl was flying in her jet copter looking for the coordinates that the chief sent to her communicator. As she was close to the place she saw a truck flying and under she saw the person that she currently despised the most. 'That bastard superhero.' She followed him looking for anyway that she could prove that he was a criminal. But she was soon disappointed when she found out he was flying to city hall and dropped the truck off and a camera crew instantly came and swarmed around him.

"Mr. Ladies man where did you find the students?"

"Ahahaha I found it on the outskirts of the Satan City."

Mr. Ladies man can we actuall get a real name from you. You told us to ask again later so please let Satan City know who it is going to be keeping us away from danger. The interviewer asked sincerely.

"Hmmm that's right, I did say that. Very well I will tell you. My name is the Golden Dragon… my name is the Warrior of Peace and Serenity… My name it Gotaius and I am here to provide my services to everyone. Well then I will be off." Gohan said as he left to the sky.

"Ms. Videl how do you feel about Gotaius? Are you his side kick, in what ways do you contact him? Have you been in a relationship for a long time? Would you describe the kiss that you two shared passionate and fiery?" the crew asked full of excitement.

Videl was stunned with all the questioned being asked all at once, "Okay I am not his side kick, 2 I don't contact him he just shows up, and three we are not in any type of relationship! He is just some cocky punk that believes that he can run around and play viligante. He should turn himself in to the authorities or actually apply to the Satan City police force!" She yelled and got back into her jet copter and left City hall 'Damn that cocky bastard I need a way to get rid of him!'

Meanwhile at city hall a very expensive jet arrived

From the jet emerged Trunks and Erasa who were looking around frantically in the crowd of students being released from the truck. All of a sudden "Big Sister" was yelled loud enough that both Trunks and Erasa turned around and saw a young blonde girl with shoulder length hair and she instantly ran up to Erasa.

"Big Sister I was so scared. I didn't know what to do!" she said crying frantically "I didn't know what I was going to do until the Golden Warrior showed up and saved us. He killed the bad guy that kidnapped us so everything is going to fine!" She said with tears still streaming down her face.

"Oh Kara I was so worried I didn't know what was happening either! It was all thanks to Gotaius! That's the Golden Warriors name! and also we have to thank Videl because I didn't think that we wou-…"

"Sister do you know the Golden Warrior?!" Kara instantly cut in with her interest peaked "I would like to meet him and take him on a date she said with a little mystery. "

"No sorry it seems that the only person close to him would be Videl. He even kissed her. Don't worry about him haha it doesn't seem like Videl will talk to anyone but me about it so sorry" Erasa said apologetically with tears still rolling down her cheeks after being reunited with her sister. "Hey Trunks we aren't that far away from my house we will walk home…. I just wanna spend some alone time with my sister. Speaking of which Kara this is Trunks my new boyfriend… and he is the son of Bulma Briefs" she said quietly even though Trunks still heard her and chuckled quietly.

"Ehehe it's a pleasure to meet you Kara and Erasa no problem, but are you sure?"

"Yeah Trunks its fine I just want to be with her right now. I always took her for granted now I am not okay so I will see you at school tomorrow" she said as she gave him a kiss and watched him take off in his capsule jet. "Okay Kara any place you wanna go I am willing to take you."

"Really" Kara said as she quirked an eyebrow. "Okay deal, then let's go to the outskirts of Satan City. There is a beautiful view there that I saw when we took a school trip."

"Okay where ever you want to go Kara!" Erasa said enthusiastically.

With Gohan in his Gotaius gear

'Hahaha damn these guys are really stupid. They kidnap a bunch of students and don't even have enough gas to do anything with them ahaha. But still, shit I still got to find out who is the leader and kill that dirty bastard. But it's whatever right now I have to hurry up and get to Grandpa's house for lessons today. What's the worse that could happen if he's running around for one day. He can't have that many people working for him and gather that much support in one day.' Gohan thought as he pressed the button twice and changed but into his gear and powered down to his regular human state.

Back with Erasa and Kara

"Okay Kara we are here! But where is this place that you wanted to show me?"

"Don't worry sis we will be there soon enough… I want to make sure mom, dad, Videl and even Gotaius see this place she said as they got out of the car. Well sis… don't resist and things will be so much easier."

"Haha Kara what are you talki-" Erasa said as she noticed a bunch men come out from behind trees and other miscellious objects. "Wait what the hell is this!" She yelled as one man grabbed her and stuck a needle in her neck which knocked her out in a matter of seconds. A man then started to walk out of the shadows while clapping his hands

"Well done Kara! I thought it was going to take a little longer to get someone else here to be reprogrammed but great job." He said as he put a hand on Kara's shoulder "Well now that phase one is out of the way and no one even suspects that those kids are sleeper agents" he said to the remnants of the Red Shark gang who were still working for him. "Haha pretty soon we will be able to get the noble and royal families if things keep going on like this. Bring her inside and we will program her now, Kara once we are done with her you will head back and continue your mission and get as many people as you can here understood?" He said as she nodded her head yes, with that he walked with his back to the camera once again but his Red Ribbon army hat was all too clear.

With Trunks flying his jet

'Hmm maybe I shouldn't have left Erasa alone. Even if Gohan killed whoever was behind it. Tomorrow I might ask him about what happened. It doesn't sound like him to kill people even if they are evil.' He thought just as he arrived at capsule Corp. 'Well whatever right now I think I am gonna get some sleep it's been a busy day' he thought as he got out of his jet and started walking toward his room.

Back with Gohan at the Ox King Palace

"Gohan you are doing superb! To think that you would make so much progress in your royal training in such a short amount of time! Excellent!" The Ox King said as he and Gohan were eating a fancy dinner food.

"Well Grandpa it just proves to you that I am your grandson hahaha."

"Yes bwahaha it very well does hahaha. So I definitely believe that you are ready to come to the dinner party this Saturday. All of your arranged marriage partners are going to be there." He said as Gohan sighed with sadness and don't worry Gohan they are all going to be beautiful. I have hand picked a couple of them myself. I can't wait for you and your mother to meet them!"

"Yes grandfather" Gohan said with evident hints of sadness in his voice "Oh that reminds me is dad invited as well?"

"What Goku's going to come from the dead? Gohan we would need all the dragon balls do you know how long that would take plus he doesn't even want to be revived."

"Oh yeah about that ahaha Grandpa I already took care of all that. Dads back and since this party has something to do with me I might as well invite dad to come as well." He said while his Grandfather had a shocked look on his face.

"Of course Gohan! I would love to see Goku! It has been way to long! That's great ahaha Goku's back" Ox King said with tears streaming down his eyes as well. "Hahaha that's great Gohan well it is late" he said as he looked at the time and saw 9:30 pm "Well you can leave and get some sleep. I have already made sure that your outfit is ready as well as your mother and Goten's. If you can have Goku come here tomorrow that would be great."

"Sure Grandpa" Gohan said as he got up from the table and gave his grandfather a hug and flew out the window.

'Damn today really has been a busy day. Oh man that's right tomorrow is bring your parent to school day. Haha I guess it would be a good thing for my class to see who a real hero is instead of Hercule.' Gohan thought as he was flying home at a gentle speed. 'Aww man I completely forgot about Videl… maybe I will train her. She does have heart and throws herself into danger for other people… I guess it wouldn't be a problem.' He thought as he arrive home and opened the door to see Goku and Chi-Chi making out on the couch which he fell over anime style "Hey stop doing that! Great now I have to pick up another couch! He yelled as both Goku and Chi-Chi looked up at him and started blushing. "Hey I am tried so I am going to bed and hey dad I need you to go to school with me tomorrow and just talk about a couple of your adventures. And not the alien ones." Gohan said as he started walking up stairs toward his room

"Sure Gohan!" Goku said as he watched Gohan go up the stairs "Okay he's gone Chi" Goku said as he and Chi-chi started making out again.

In the Morning

"Okay dad so the group is going to meet up at school since everyone is bring their parents. Lime is bring her dad and Trunks and Bulla are bringing both Vegeta and Bulma so no super fighting but we can use you two to show a good fight and what you do."

"Okay sounds good Gohan do we get to go now?! I really wanna see what school looks like!" Goku asked with a bunch of excitement in his voice.

"Yeah dad, we are going, were going. Okay mom I will see you later tonight I have… a study group thing to do with a couple of girls" he yelled and quickly exited knowing what Chi-Chi was going to ask.

'Whew that was close now that is taken care of I am good to go to that party tonight' Gohan thought as he and his father were flying to Orange Star high school. As they made it within city limits, "Okay dad we have to use the jet Bulma gave me that way we don't attract too much attention."

"Yeah makes sense I guess" Goku agreed as they landed near the outskirts and Gohan capsulated the jet and they both got in and took off. Within moments they were at the school and landed on top of the roof and saw that Bulla and Trunks were already there with Bulma and Vegeta

"Hey Vegeta hey Bulma I see that Trunks and Bulla roped you into this stuff as well." Goku said as he sent a Son grin to both of them

"Hey Goku and yeah they did ehehe. So looks like we have to either give a talk or a demonstration so I guess this would be one of the greatest times to give an announcement."

"Bulma I still don't like that idea and you know that" Vegeta said "All I really care about is pounding Kakarrot to a pulp to prove I am the best."

"Vegeta… seriously not in the next 1,000 years hahaha but you are welcome to try." Goku said as he kept on walking toward the door. While Vegeta glared at him, Gohan walked over to Bulla and Trunks

"Hey guys how's it going?"

"It's good Gohan haha nothing much has been happening." Bulla answered "But this parent thing is bull. I can't wait until this stuff is over that way we could go to that party" Bulla whispered.

"Shhh Bulla you know that even they have super hearing" Trunks whispered at a tone barely audiable. "Anyway Gohan I have something that I wanted to ask did you kill" ding dong ding dong… dong ding dong ding the bell for homeroom rang – "shit I guess I will talk to you about it later let's get to class."

"Yeah sounds good… by the way where is Lime and her dad right now."

"Oh they came the old school way… the front door hahaha. She said that they would meet us at homeroom. Mr. Lao said that he was really excited to see you again."

"Oh is that so?" Gohan said as he and their parents entered their homeroom seeing a bunch of people and their parents sitting down next to them. Lucky there was plenty of room in the class. I mean dude we are talking about 60-70 people. Anyways the teacher started alphabetically and a couple of students were up then it was Trunks and Bulla's turn.

"Well as you know this is my mother Bulma Briefs and you actually haven't seen much of my father… this is my father Vegeta" Trunks said as he gave out his hand to Vegeta.

"Hello human peasant I am Vegeta King of-"

"Capsule Corporation!" Bulma immediately intrupted him. "Yep he is my sweet prince ehehe. Well anyways Vegeta is the one that I mostly rely on to test most of my inventions. For example the greatest one that we have would be the gravity room which is Vegeta favorite. Anyways I would give a full demonstration of any inventions that I was creating but you will all see them at the excursion trip in a month!"

"EEHHH" was heard by all the students including Gohan, Trunks, Bulla, and Lime.

"Really Mrs. Briefs we are going to Capsule Corp. for the excursion trip no way! That is going to be sweet" one student exclaimed

"Trunks! Bulla! How come you guys didn't tell us?!"

"Well the truth is we didn't know" they both said in unison.

"Well now I will have a great time showing you guys Capsule Corp. inventions and also some very cute and embarrassing photographs of my sweet Trunks and Bulla." Who started sweating a lot "This is why you don't take apart your parents inventions and move them into a room where your father would constantly bitch about it." Bulma said very seethingly. While Trunks and Bulla had worried looks on their faces. "Well now that you all know the news that would at least end my presentation thank you."

With that the Brief family moved to back to their seats close to Gohan. Who seemed to be receiving looks from Hercule… a look that said that he won some battle. After a couple of other families presentations even Limes father, who deals with international political situations the bell rang signaling time for a recess right before it was Videl and Hercule's turn. The Briefs, Lao, and Son families were the first to leave knowing that they needed to get something to eat before the saiyans pass out but on a whim Gohan decided to take his time to leave the class.

As Gohan was walking out of the class Videl approached Gohan

"Hey Gohan just wondering if you thought about teaching me?" Videl asked sincerely.

"Oh yeah! That's right… Videl I think it would be a great idea to-"

"HEY YOU! BOY GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER AND COME HERE!" A loud and annoying voice came from the classroom doorway. Gohan turned around and saw who was pissing him off for another time.

"And if I refuse? You giant babbling fool, what would you do?" Gohan sarcastically asked as he turned to Hercule and flashed his eyes teal.

"W-w-well don't think that you can beat me! Videl leave now! I have to have a talk with this boy."

"What? What the hell dad I need to talk to him."

"I SAID LEAVE NOW VIDEL!"

"No dad I don't care about what you said because-" she was cut off by Gohan's hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry Videl I will talk with your father. It shouldn't be long." He said as he turned back to Hercule with a pissed off look.

"Fine but remember what we were talking about Gohan." She said as she left toward the cafeteria

"What do you want Hercule? You really don't learn your lesson. You really just want me to beat you to a bloody pulp… or maybe that isn't enough for you. Maybe I should make it so nobody could recognize your body afterwards." Gohan said walking toward Hercule who was shaking in fear already. "Or you know what? Maybe I should make it so you body would never be found Gohan said as he materialized a ki ball in his right hand and continued walking toward Hercule who was paralyzed with fear but Gohan stopped halfway to him and de-materialized the ki ball "But you know what Hercule I am not a cold-blooded killer so I am going to forget the situation and let you leave scar free" Gohan said as he turned around and began to walk away.

"W-W-Wait you punk! I have pictures of who you really are! And I have copies if something ever happens to me." Gohan instantly turned around and viewed the pictures and a deadly look crept upon his face that would scare Cell, Frieza, Bojack, and Vegeta all put together. "W-w-wait a second like I said if anything happens to me then these pictures get released! Now what I want you to do-"

Gohan flashed stepped and appeared face to face with Hercule "DO I EVEN GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHAT YOU DO?! I SAVE THE FUCKING WORLD! I LET YOU TAKE THE FUCKING CREDIT! I GIVE YOU A SECOND CHANCE TO WALK AWAY! BUT YOU THREATEN TO BLACKMAIL ME! YOU DESERVE NO MERCY!" Gohan said as he powered up into super saiyan three instantly. Although this power didn't go unnoticed by Goku, Vegeta Trunks, Lime, and Bulla. Hell, the whole school knew something was up because a huge earthquake was shaking and knocking things down.

At the Cafeteria

"What the hell is that?!" Vegeta said

"That- that is Gohan's ki" Goku said as he instant transmissioned to Gohan

Back with Gohan

Hercule was running back into the classroom and ran into a corner while Gohan was just walking toward him and ready to just go for an instant kill that was until Goku appeared in front of Hercule with his arms spread out.

"Gohan what are you doing?! You know this isn't right!"

"DAD YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HE IS JUST LIKE CELL! I GAVE HIM MULTIPLE CHANCES AND HE JUST FUCKED THEM UP! HE DOESN'T DESERVE TO LIVE!" Gohan said as he continued walking toward Goku and Hercule while Hercule continued to whimper in the corner.

"Well son there are better ways to deal with this" Goku said as Vegeta Trunks and Bulla showed up and started yelling at Gohan to calm down. Luckily for them Gohan calmed down and relaxed.

Gohan let out a deep sigh "Fine but Hercule this isn't over. I don't care if you reveal my secret but I promise you this… I will reveal your secret! And if you do reveal my secret I won't kill you but let us just say you won't ever be able to lie to anyone ever again" Gohan said as he turned around and walked out of the class room with the other Z fighters. As Goku was at the doorway he turned around to face Hercule "You shouldn't have done whatever you did. All my son ever wanted was a peaceful life and if you threaten that I will make sure personally that the last breaths that you draw on this planet will be painful and the most excruciating seconds of your miserable life Goku said as he flashed his eyes teal and engaged his red kaioken aura, then he powered down and walked out of the classroom.

In the hallway with the families

"Gohan what the hell did Hercule do to you that made you that pissed off? Lime asked as they were walking to the cafeteria.

"He threaten me Lime… he threatened my peaceful life that I have here."

Lime was about to speak again but was interrupted by Videl running toward the group. "Gohan! Guys are you okay? Didn't you feel the earthquake?"

"Videl…." Gohan said "…Get away from me! I hate you! I hate your family! You are nothing, you are worthless pieces of trash, two bit martial artist thugs that deserve the worst possible end that is imaginable. I WILL NOT TRAIN YOU! NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!" Gohan exploded as he pushed past her as the rest of the group followed him with worried looks on their faces. Videl stood there for a couple of seconds before she sank to the ground on her knees and tears began forming in her eyes. She began crying then heavy sobbing overcame her. 'Why does he hate me?' She thought 'Didn't it sound like he was going to train me? What did my dad do?!' She thought as she was still sobbing in the middle of the hallway.

Back with the families

Trunks left ahead of the group to talk to Erasa "Hey Erasa you should go talk to Videl she is crying right now and she needs someone to talk to her."

"What, really Trunks right now? Okay but if I do this then promise me that we could go to this new spot that I found" she said as she looked up to him with a quirked eyebrow.

"Wait what why are you acting strange? Shouldn't you be more worried about Videl than a date?" Trunks asked while studying her.

"Yes your right I was just joking Trunks." She faked laughed "Yes of course I will be going to go see her right now." She said and quickly left the cafeteria while Trunks was thinking that was too weird something is up.

Back with Erasa

As she was running in the hallway in search of Videl she was thinking 'Damn it Trunks is a little too smart. I think that I will have to get a little time before I go after him. But for now Videl is mentally hurt.' She thought just as she found Videl. "Videl sweety what wrong she said as went to her knees and pulled Videl into a hug."

"I-it-it's Gohan he said that he hated me and he said so-so many more things" she said still sobbing he even said that I am trash. I don't know what happen.

"Shh shh shh. It's okay Videl I know the perfect place that will cheer you up before we go to that party."

"Erasa I really don't feel like going to that party."

"Don't worry Videl after you see this beautiful place on the outskirts of the city then you will feel like going. I am your best friend trust me okay. "

"Okay Erasa we will go after all the presentations" Videl said starting to calm herself down.

"Great it will be something you will never forget" she said as they started walking back to the class room early. That was when they saw Hercule sitting in the classroom deep in thought with his hands resting his head. But they decided to leave him alone and they went to the very back of the classroom and decided to talk about trivial things.

15 minutes later the bell rang and the class began once again

"Ms. Videl it is you and your fathers turn." The teacher said

"Yes professor" Videl said as she walked to the front of the class, as soon as she made it down she was sending constant glances at Gohan who was staring out the window with a bored look on his face. 'Why does he hate me' was all that she could think about while her father was talking about his victories and challenges of rising to the top of the martial artists world.

The whole class was very intrigued until Vegeta looked at Hercule and flashed his eyes teal basically telling him to 'shut the fuck up and sit down'. As Hercule finished talking the teacher looked up to Gohan "Mr. Son I believe that it is your turn."

"Yes professor." He answered and walked up to the front of the class room with Goku. As he made it up there he had a gentle smile on his face that Videl noticed and instantly felt like crying again. "Well class this is my father Son Goku."

"EEHHH!? Wait a second the Son Goku that took out-"

"The Red Ribbon army as a child, ehehehe yep that's me. I didn't know that people would know about that. Well as you know I took out the Red Ribbon army as a child and a WMAT champion before Mr. Satan over there."

"Oh that's right that would be so cool! Mr. Satan would you fight Son Goku that would be sweet to see what WMAT champions could do!"

"Umm no I wouldn't want to mess anything up in the class." Hercule said

"Yep class that's right I wouldn't like to hurt Mr. Satan" Goku said and the whole class went ooooooohhhh. "Anyways I have the perfect sparring partner right here" he said as he looked a Gohan then looked at Vegeta who quickly ran down the stair steps to Goku. "Well sorry Gohan looks like Vegeta is a little too eager."

"Ehehe no problem dad I will go back to my seat then and let you demonstrate" Gohan said as he walked up to his seat completely ignoring Videl's constant hopes for eye contact. Within a couple of minutes they were done and the class was completely stunned. How could anyone move so fluidly and two how could people throw that many punches and not get hit at all.

"Well that is my demonstration" Goku said as he began walking back up to where Gohan was sitting in his seat.

"Well if that is all the demonstrations then I guess it wouldn't be a problem to let you guys leave early today." You are all dismissed the teacher said as he left the classroom first then followed by the rest of the students except the main ones of this story.

"Hey dad Grandpa wants you to go to the palace for clothes for the dinner party."

"Oh okay Gohan do you want me to take off first then?"

"Yeah dad that would be best since I have this study group thing I have to do."

"Hey mom, dad, Bulla and I have this project to do so we are gonna be out at the library for some time tonight." Trunks said

"Hey dad there I finally got that ticket to work in Satan city hall today. So I might be out a little late tonight but Gohan, and Trunks are going to be with me. Plus you know that I know how to defend myself." Lime said to her dad.

Goku Bulma Vegeta : "Okay sure be careful on your way back" And with that all the parents left for their respective destinations.

"Okay so where do you guys wanna go before the party?" Trunks asked

"Let's go shopping on Gohan!" Bulla said

"Wait why me?"

"Because you probably have more money than all of us. Plus you owe us for that scare you put us through today." Lime said

"Well fine it's on me" Gohan said as he began walking toward the door with the group that was when Videl approached him from behind and began calling his name.

"Gohan. Gohan!" She yelled but he just kept on walking and both Lime and Bulla looked at Gohan with worry but he just kept a smile on his face and just kept walking away. That was when Trunks said he forgot something and ran back into the classroom toward Erasa.

"Hey Erasa you are going to take care of Videl today right?"

"Yeah Trunks don't worry about it."

"Okay cool. Gohan just needs some time to calm down… I am sure he will be fine after a little time to himself."

"Ok sounds good and Trunks do you think that we will be able to go to this cool new spot soon. I hear it is beautiful place for couples to go to."

"Ehehe Erasa one thing at a time hehe don't worry about that and trust me I know an even better place than that. Just… take care of Videl and I will see you at the party."

"Oh yeah that's right Trunks the party has been moved to near the outskirts of town. Something about the guys little brother in middle school convinced him to move it. So I will see you there okay?"

"Yeah great to know. Thanks Erasa see you there." Trunks said as he kissed her and left toward Gohan and the rest of the group he saw Videl standing there after her failed attempts to talk to Gohan "Don't worry just give him some time and talk to him at the party when he is in a good mood" he said as he kept on jogging trying to catch up with everyone else.

"Yeah… thanks Trunks." Videl said as she was left standing there. Until Erasa approached her

"Hey Videl you ready to go to the spot I told you about?"

"Yeah Erasa… I guess well lets go."

Well that's it for chapter 9 snake in the grass. Sorry that took so long. I think that I just needed a couple of days to myself to recharge and get a couple new ideas. I am back and now I am ready to start accepting more ideas like should Videl get captured and turned or should she be the one that gets away and tries to inform everyone hahaha. Well another thing the guy who was planning the party had a little brother who took him to the reprogramming site that modified him and convinced him to change the party location from his house to the outskirts of the city. at least a mile away from the underground facility that way people wouldn't hear the screams. Other than that I hope that you guys like the name that I picked out for Gohan. I couldn't think of anything else but I did want to keep go in the name so Gotaius hahaha. Well if you have any ideas about the next chapter just drop a review and also any criticisms are welcome cause any improvements that I can make would be great thanks and until next time :D
