Chapter Ten: Watching…
-
Videl looked over her shoulder again as she walked out of the hospital. She could have sworn someone was behind the statue of her father but than again, every time she looked back there, nothing seemed strange to anyone passing it and she never really had any proof that she was being watched.
She looked at it a little bit more closely for a second before shaking her head, dismissing it as the medication they gave her before she left.
Videl felt the cool breeze on her face and brought her arms up to cover herself. She didn't understand why she felt like this - wherever she looked everything seemed normal. She shook her head again - hoping it would calm her down a little bit.
She turned her attention back to the black car with tinted windows. Her father sent this instead of the limo by the hospitals staff - saying that his fans could put a lot of much un-needed stress onto her shoulders.
She rolled her eyes thinking about it. When did they ever not give me stress that I didn't need?
She sighed as the driver got out of his seat and came over, opening up the door. She nodded to him quickly and got inside. The feeling that she was being watched came back to her all of a sudden and she looked at the driver quickly, remembering movies when the driver wasn't the one the family truly trusted and was actually planning on doing something terrible to her. She saw that it was the same man that she had a dim memory of bringing her to the hospital in the first place.
She sighed and sat back down. The feeling didn't go away though and the tinted windows took out a few details that might have given her a clue to why she was acting like this in the first place.
She shook her head and leaned back into the leather seats, closing her eyes, hoping that if she got some rest in, the feeling just might go away.

Bulma brought the tea to her lips and turned another piece of the West City Journal. She skimmed down a bit and saw a picture of none other than Videl Satan with the caption 'Should she really be out of the hospital?' under it.
She decided to read a little of it, remembering how Gohan talked about her when he started high school. Ten months had passed and both of the teenagers were in their senior year. Well, they would be if one hadn't just gotten out of the hospital and the other one just came back from who the hell knows where.
"…the girl is going home today after the initial attack…" Bulma's eyes widened. She hadn't sat down to read the paper or even watch the news for a week, being to busy with her inventions. She turned to her computer and typed something onto it bringing up articles about it.
Her mouth opened slightly as she read through the entries. The one that got to her was one from Satan City Bugle a few weeks ago. She read over one part time and time again, trying to figure out what struck her strangely about it…
Insider's report that a burglar sneaked into the room of the child and began to stab and completely beat her. No one in the house even knew of the attack until it was over with.
Videl had apparently screamed, and when her father rushed into the room and tried to soothe her from her nightmare his hand came from her back covered in blood.The patient is in denial at the attack. Apparently Hercule asked, "Did you think it was a nightmare, honey?" She replied, "No nightmare! No break in! Just leave! Leave me alone!"
'…What's wrong with this picture? The burglar came, she screamed, dad came, she covered with blood -waitaminute!' She looked at it more closely.

until it was over with.
Bulma brought a hand to her mouth and thought about it out loud - helping her think.
"Videl is a good fighter in Gohan's point of view, and yet she screamed when the attack was over with and didn't seem to put up much of a struggle… If someone was actually in there - they wouldn't just beat her up and than leave her there to scream…" She started to type again but this time she was hacking into the hospitals records. She bit her lip lightly, hoping she was doing it right when in a few short seconds none other than Videl's numerous medical reports were there.
"Nightmares…" The blue-haired woman whispered to herself lightly. She knew from the moment she read about the attack that it wasn't normal, that a robber didn't do it. Biting her lip, she started to wonder why she even looked all of this up when her eyes looked at the dates on one of the sheets.
"…The day that Gohan left…"

Saiya-jin watched as the Satan's car drove into the large gates to the Satan mansion. He waited for a few minutes until after the gates were closed before he jumped over to the Satan's lawn from the tree he was on.
He thought about what he was supposed to do here - what he was supposed to do to Videl but he couldn't bring himself to do it, because of Ledi.
He knew that doing anything to Videl would cause some pain to the girl who has been through so much pain with him ever since they 'separated' from themselves.
He shook his head, he was stalling and it wasn't helping him. He jumped into another tree, not feeling like flying today. Pulling himself up on a branch, he closed his eyes and started to visualize himself inside the mansion. The windows, doors, halls, were all coming to him, giving him an idea of where he was supposed to go in case anything went wrong.
He couldn't show any of his true strength - knowing that it might be sensed. He opened his eyes again and took in a deep breath. After letting it out he jumped on Videl's balcony and silently opened the doors, inviting himself in.
