Hey! This here is chappy 10! So, Gohan and Videl have been found and are now safe, but they are still half man and half beast! Can it be fixed or will they be like that forever?
Goku, Vegeta, Bulma, and Baba sat in the bridge of the ship in dis belief. The way gohan and Videl looked stunned them beyond words, yet they were so relieved that they were as safe as they could be.
" What are you going to tell Chichi? That woman will faint at a messy room; how will she take this?" Vegeta asked as he crossed his arms.
Goku flinched at the reminder of his son's condition and the reaction of his wife. He shrugged his shoulders and sighed. " I'm sure she'll faint...but she's handled tougher things before."
This statement made everyone look at the blinking man with confusion and wonderment. " What do you mean?" Bulma asked.
" Well, Gohan used to be a big handful and I mean big." Goku chuckled as he recalled the memories. " He was always getting lost in the woods and running from creatures. Then he started bringing them home! Then there were his pranks! My goodness those were some hard times there. Chichi was amazing at handling them."
" That doesn't sound too bad." Vegeta grunted. " Trunks and Goten seem far worse."
" Trunks and Goten never brunt down the house though, nor did they flood the bathtub so they could go swimming or keep a sea serpent." Goku laughed as he watched everyone's eyes widen. " Oh! That ain't even the half of it! I'm sure Piccolo has some stories too!"
" Wow...he really did all that?" Bulma asked.
" Yep. Have you ever wondered why he doesn't drink coffee? Well, because he drank a whole pot when he was younger and stayed awake for four whole days." Goku chuckled as he removed his shirt to show the many bite marks on his shoulders and forearms. " And he always fought me when he got mad."
" Compared to that, those two demons are angels! But I guess because he's an alpha male is why he was so aggressive." Vegeta grunted as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.
The sound of running feet broke everyone of their train of thought. Goten and Trunks entered the room and jumped on their father's laps.
" We found them! We found them!"
" And against our orders too." Vegeta growled at his young cub.
" Were they like that when you found them?" Goku asked his youngest son.
" Yeah. It scared us at first, but they still act like themselves...except..." Goten rubbed the back of his head before he continued, " They purr and stuff."
" ' And stuff'?" Goku asked, wanting more clarity.
" Yeah, they roar, hiss, and snarl when they're mad. And they lick each other. Oh! And I caught Gohan sharpening his claws on your bed post, Dad." Trunks informed.
Vegeta growled as he placed Trunks on the floor and stomped his way to the sleeping quarters, but was suddenly yelling in the hall.
Everyone went to go see why he was yelling so early, but suddenly Vegeta, Gohan, and Videl tumbled back into the bridge. The teens were laughing happily while Vegeta struggled to get them off of him.
Gohan got up and then pulled Videl up and into his arms. Vegeta growled then pointed his finger at the much larger male.
" Did you sharpen your claws on my bed posts?"
Gohan blushed as he extended his claws to show them off. " Yeah..but don't they look better?"
Vegeta gritted his teeth at the teenager. " But did you have to use my bed posts?"
" Well, your's was the only wooden posts so..." Gohan scratched his chest then smiled at everyone. " Thanks...for trying to find us."
Goku slowly stood from his seat and stared at Gohan for a minute before wrapping him and Videl into a super tight bear hug. " I WAS SO WORRIED!"
" Go..Goku! Your...squeezing my...whiskers!" Videl cringed.
Goku quickly let them go and watched her move the two long tentacles on her back around before she sighed in relief.
" So, you two mated, huh?" Vegeta smirked as he watched them blush madly. " Hope you two at least pulled out."
" Can we not talk about this?" Videl asked as she tried to change the subject. " When can we go home?"
" Well, my mom has a large horse ranch where no one can find use so that way we can keep you two out of sight. I don't think that people will deal well with the way you guys look." Bulma said as she played with a patch of fur on Videl's shoulders.
" Yeah, I guess your right." Videl sighed as her tail twitched in thought. " Well, how long til we get there?"
" An hour or so, maybe longer." Bulma was about to say more when she saw Gohan's ears twitch and his eyes go wide. " Gohan?"
" What...What's that...jingling?" Gohan purred as he looked down the hall. He saw Goten and Trunks holding a small ball that had a bell inside. Gohan slowly began to sank to his fours and creep his way down the hall.
Everyone got up to stare at the odd scenario, mouths agape in shock. There Gohan was, stalking a cat toy on all fours. It seemed his transformation was more then just his looks. Then; as a thought hit all of them at the same time, everyone turned their gazes to Videl who only crossed her arms.
" What? I'm not chasing after a jingle ball. I have more self control then that."
Suddenly, Gohan pounced at the two boys, who only screamed in surprise at the sudden action. Gohan scared them enough to where they dropped the toy and it began to roll away into deeper parts of the ship with a purring Gohan behind it.
"...I guess I should invest in some cat toys, huh?" Goku nervously chuckled as he asked Videl, who only shrugged her shoulders.
" I guess this is my fault." She sighed as she sat down in Goku's chair. " Asking him to be more wild..."
Goku froze as he heard her say the last bit. " You asked him to be what?"
Videl blinked before she cleared her throat to answer. " To be more wild...like when he was younger...Why?"
" You have released a monster!Gohan was a demon before he mellowed out and now you unlocked the beast!" Goku shouted as he pulled at his hair.
" Look, it won't be like that. And he didn't 'mellow out', he was swamped be responsibility." Videl snarled; baring long, slender, sharp fangs at the man.
Goku gulped as he saw them, but her words are what really made him flinch. It seemed like she knew more then she led on about his son and his past.
Goku was about to speak when he heard a large crash. It sounded like it came from the deck and some how, he knew Gohan and that damn toy was behind it all.
As everyone walked on deck to investigate, they stopped to examine the many scratch marks and actual shredded metal that laced the halls that led outside. When they reached the deck they gasped. There was Gohan with a large marlin in his paws and a smile on his face.
" Look what I caught! It's a marlin, also known as he swordfish!" He lifted the thrashing fish higher for them to see. Large slashes littered the fish's side, showing that Gohan had snagged the trophy with his new found claws.
" What was that sound?" Videl asked as she examined the deck for damages.
" Huh? Oh, well the marlin was flopping around and stuff. That was what you guys heard." Gohan looked around and then smiled at Bulma. " Where's the kitchen?"
" Why?" She asked nervously. The boy had already destroyed half her boat.
" Well, I was hoping Videl would cook this up. Her cooking is amazing!" Gohan got to his feet and handed the dead fish to his mate, who gave him a peck on the cheek before making her way to the kitchen.
" Look, Gohan... I know Videl asked you to be more wild but-!"
" Dad! I got this! I'm not little anymore! I know not to play with matches in the house or use the vacuum cleaner to try and make my homework disappear." Gohan huffed at his dad.
Goku sighed, but then gave his eldest a stern look. " And?"
Gohan clicked his index fingers together and stared at the floor. " and I won't make any dangerous explosives that may or may not injure the surrounding people that I tell it's just a ball."
" Alright then. I guess it's fine if you act a little wild." Goku smiled as he reached up and patted the head of his boy. " Just try and be good, okay?"
Gohan smiled as he licked his father's cheek and ran off to go play somewhere; leaving everyone worried.
~ A Meal and a Cat Nap Later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Oh! There's the dock! Get in the box you two!" Bulma shouted to Gohan and Videl; who only sighed as they began to squeeze themselves into the tight crate.
" This is a stupid idea." Videl grumbled as she closed the lid.
" It's not that bad. You're just mad because you have to be careful of your whiskers. Ow!" Gohan yelped as Videl pulled on his own whiskers. " You don't have to be so mean!"
" Open up! You forgot Leo!" Goku said as he knocked on the lid.
Videl quickly allowed the whining beast inside with them and just as quickly shut the door.
~ Unloading Docks~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Is this the last crate?" A gruff ship-hand asked Bulma, who was busy making sure she got the repairs scheduled for her ship.
" Oh! My men will carry that one if you don't mind. It holds some valuable items." Bulma Said as she pointed to Vegeta and then the box.
The worker peered through one of the many holes to see if he could steal a peek at such an important item, but there was only a peer of deep blue eyes that must of belong to a demon glared back at him.
The worker yelled as he fell back on his ass and merely pointed at the crate. He caught the attention of all the people there, which had Bulma sweating bullets.
" Th-there's a monster in there!"
~ Inside the Crate~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" you didn't have to glare at him." Gohan whispered to the huffing Videl.
" I hate this...put in a box like a common pet you bought at the store." She growled.
Leo only yawned as he licked Videl's hand before turning to lick Gohan's. It seemed that the beast was nervous, but happy to at least be with his family.
" look, even Leo is behaving." Gohan pointed out.
" Oh shut up."
~ Outside Crate~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" It's a injured creature I found out at sea." Bulma lied to the man.
" What creature has the eyes such as those?1 I've been out at sea for all my life and never seen the such!" The sea-hand shouted as he stood.
" It is none of your concern." Vegeta grunted as he lifted the crate and walked off.
The drive was the worst for the teens. Still stuck in the damn box as so they could avoid any eyes that may try and look inside. The bumps and potholes were like murder to them.
" I can't take anymore of this!" Videl groaned as she tried to pry the lid off, but she felt a hand slap the lid close.
" Don't be so hasty, Videl!" Goku laughed as he held the lid down. He could feel her struggle against him, but she seemed too tired to win the bout.
" How much longer? My legs are killing me!" Gohan groaned, trying to stretch his limbs.
" OW! You kicked me!" Videl hissed.
" Sorry, but you keep whacking me with your whiskers!" Gohan fought back.
" That's because Leo tries to get them!"
" Then stop moving them! And watch where you rest your tail!" Gohan squealed.
" Well, your's is wrapped around my breast!"
" That doesn't mean you wrap your's around my-!"
" ENOUGH! Stop talking!" Vegeta yelled. " I don't want to hear anymore!"
" I was going to say ' pectoral'...pervert." Gohan grumbled, clearly mad for being interrupted.
" 'Pervert'? I'm not the one getting cheap thrills!" Vegeta yelled back.
" And what did you think I was going to say, Vegeta? Hmm? Tell me that? Where did you think Videl's tail was?" Gohan mocked. He smirked when he didn't receive a reply. " that's right...Pervert."
" So...how long til we get there?" Videl asked; trying to ease the tension in the car.
" We just arrived." bulma sighed as she stopped the car and slammed the door.
Videl was again trying to pop the lid open, but Goku stopped her again and lifted them onto his shoulder.
" Just wait til we get to the barn." he chuckled as he heard her sigh heavily.
~ Barn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone stood inside the barn waiting. They were so happy that they had been found, and Chichi was about to bounce of the walls with excitement; so when Goku entered the place with nothing more then a crate, she was pissed.
" Where's my baby, Goku?" She hissed.
" In here. But Chi, you got to be calm when I open this, just like we talked about over the phone...remember?" Goku cooed.
" Yeah, yeah...just set it down and open it already!"
Goku sighed as he did as told. He watched as the lid opened and the teens rose from the crate and stretching and yawning. Goku watched the eyes of everyone bulge and mouths gawk at the new forms of the two young lovers.
Chichi silently moved over to her eldest baby and lightly touched his cheek. Tears burned the corner of her eyes but she wouldn't let it fall. No, her child needed her more then ever and she wasn't going to let him or her daughter-in-law down!
" Gohan...Videl..." She whispered before she gently wrapped them in her arms and rubbed their backs as if they were small children again. " It's okay you two...we'll fix it...I promise."
Gohan and Videl looked at each other before letting their eyes close so they may truly enjoy the comfort the simple gestures and soft words gave them.
" It's alright, Mom... We're okay, just a little different." Gohan cooed as he embraced her as well.
" Gohan...I'll try and be strong for you two, but I must admit this is the most trouble you've ever been in, that's for sure...but I'll make this work." chichi sighed as she patted Gohan's shoulder.
" At least you're alive kid. That's all that matters." Piccolo smirked as he watched his pupil give him a big smile.
Just then Bunny; Bulma's mother, placed a collar around gohan, Videl, and Leo's necks. Each had a tag with their name on it and a large bell. " Don't you just look so cute?" She squealed.
A vein throbbed at the temple of Videl's head as she resisted the urge to rip the accessory right off her. " what's this for again?" She growled.
" oh! Well, with you two being half feral cat and Leo here is a feral cat, I figured that you'd try and hunt my horses or any of my smaller critters. So the bell will alert them before you even have a chance to pounce!" Bunny giggled as she gave Gohan's bell a quick ring.
" WHAT? ARE YOU SERIOUS?" Videl snarled at the ridiculous thought. " We're not some dumb beasts!"
" I think you look cute in it, Vi." Gohan chuckled as he rang her bell.
" You're not helping damn it!" She roared back as she swatted his paws away. Videl couldn't help but blush at the purring man as he just continued to gently play with the annoying bell around her neck.
" Gohan! Sissy! Come play with us!" Goten yelled; waving his hand at them. He stood in the middle of the open field a little ways away.
" Go play with your brother, Gohan. He's missed you and Videl terribly. We'll talk about how to find a cure." Chichi smiled as she pinched his cheek.
" Thanks, Mom." Gohan smiled before he took Videl by the hand an ran off.
