The sun started to rise as Son Gohan was just getting up and ready to meet with Videl.

"I hope everything goes smoothly." Gohan thought.

Gohan remembered the first time Videl met Saiyaman…although the first meeting went well…he started to remember all the times she tried to provoke a fight with him. "She sure is adamant on finding out who he is." He thought to himself.

**

"I don't care about what I was thinking last night. It's almost as if I want to become Gohan's friend, but I shouldn't and I won't…until he tells me the truth about this whole Saiyaman mess. I'm certain Saiyaman and the Gold Fighter are the same person…and that he has something to do with it. I wouldn't even be surprised if he turns out to be Saiyaman…but the fact is that he kept it from me." Videl thought to herself, and then stretched, waking up her sleepy muscles. Videl had just woken up moments ago.

Satan Videl was in her room, contemplating the show down that was sure to encounter between her and Gohan.

"You know, I'm pretty sure he is Saiyaman…they're both dorks, and they both first appeared at the same time. I even gave Saiyaman plenty of chances that to tell me that he is Son Gohan."



**********

"Let the Mayor go!" Videl had yelled. There was a tall muscular man who had a gun pointed at the Mayor.

"No, the Mayor is my hostage until I can get your father down here to fight!" The man had yelled back at her.

"Yeah, well, my father isn't coming you jack-ass…he's too busy to fight every petty criminal that walks the streets of Satan City." Videl called out to the tall man.

When Videl had been called down the Mayor's mansion, she came onto the scene seeing this big brute and a number of lackeys.

"I want to fight your father to show the world that I'm stronger than him!" The massive criminal yelled out.

"Yeah…well there's no one stronger than my father! Besides, you'll have to get through me in order to fight him…like I said, my father is a busy man!" Videl yelled.

"All right Little Girl, do you really want to fight me?" The man inquired.

"Bring it on." Videl spoke confidently.

The tall man, Carlos {A.N. I don't know who he was in the show.} Looked down at Videl and laughed.

"I'm only going to hurt a small bug like you." He sneered.

"Oh yeah? Well, try this on for size!" Videl yelled and charged at him and hit him in the stomach. Carlos stumbled back, "wow…she's tougher than she looks." He said out loud.

"None-the-less, I'm going to mop the floor with you, girlie."

He ran at her and swung, which Videl managed to dodge. Before he could straighten back up to his full height of over seven feet, he saw a booted foot connect with his jaw.

His head snapped back and Videl once again charged at him, jumped up and punched him and broke his nose she then flipped in mid-air and landed on her feet.

"Stop right there, Villain." She heard a voice call.

Both Videl and Carlos looked over to there right and saw the costumed Saiyaman, striking various poses. He stretched his one right out in front of him and made a "Y" with his arms, and then he dropped to the ground and touched it with his right-gloved hand. His left hand was stretched into the air…and his left foot was extended on the side.

"I am…the great crime fighter…the person who ensures justice for all…"

He stood back up…and pointed at the Criminals. "I am…the who will defeat you-"

"Oh, shut up!" Videl snapped. "Yes, we know you're here, Saiyaman." Videl spoke and rolled her eyes.

"Ah, good morning Miss Videl." Saiyaman spoke to her.

"Listen, buddy, go crawl under the rock that you came from. He's mine, got it?" She said with venom in her voice.

"But I-"

"Just wanted to help?" Videl inquired.

Saiyaman shook his head "yes."

"Well…I don't need it!" She snapped. "I can fight him on my own."

"Well…okay…but if you run into problems, then I'm going to help you."

"Dork!" She spat at him.

Neither she nor Saiyaman noticed Carlos who got in back of Videl, and put a strangle hold on her. He stood up to his full height and Videl was about two feet off the ground.

"Oh no!" Saiyaman cried out. Carlos was chocking her.

He wanted to step in, but he didn't know how to proceed. Just then, Videl managed to jab him hard in the ribs with her elbow. He promptly dropped her and she landed hard on her legs.

She then ran towards him, jumped into the air and kicked him in the face. The force of the blow knocked him back.

She then punched him repeatedly in the stomach…driving him to stumble backwards even more.

Carlos pulled his hand back and tried to punch her, but she caught it in her hand.

She then extended her leg and kicked him as hard as she could in his stomach, knocking him down on the ground.

She walked up to his face, and kicked it hard.

"I win." She said simply, and dusted off her gloves.

She walked in front of Saiyaman who had his mouth hanging open.

"See…I didn't need your help." She said simply. She glared up at him for a few moments and then she said.

"You know, I'll learn to tolerate you, if you just tell me who you are."

"I'm sorry, Miss. I don't want anyone to know who I am." Saiyaman replied.

Videl became furiated and spat at him, "Why can't you just tell me, you jack-ass!" With that she punched him in the chest, but quickly pulled her hand away from him.

"What in the hell?" She thought. She looked at her hand and it was throbbing.

"Hey, you!" One of Carlos's lackeys called out to the duo.

"We're not finished with you! You can't do that to our boss!" The same guy continued.

"Here I go again." Videl muttered.

The group of men ganged up on her and formed a circle. Saiyaman saw a series of punches and kicks, and then saw a number of men flying past him and landing on the ground.

Saiyaman continued to watch the fight until he heard something like a gun being triggered. He looked up and on the roof of one building, he saw a sharpshooter who was aiming his gun at Videl.

Saiyaman quickly flew up to the roof, but the lackey saw him and fired at him.

Videl, who was still fighting a number of men, decided to speed things along, but quickly looked up at the sky and saw Saiyaman dodging bullets from a person with a gun.

After the person that was shooting at Gohan ran out of ammo, Gohan quickly swooped down and crushed the gun in the man's hands.

"Shame, shame…you shouldn't play with guns." Saiyaman spoke to him…and then posed.

"Saiyaman!" He called out.

"Gosh, Ms. Videl, that was awful close." Saiyaman spoke to Videl.

They had just finished taking care of some criminals. The fight got pretty brutal.

Many bruises started to form on Videl's hands, face, and legs. While Videl was busy trying to fight a group of criminals that had surrounded her, a sharpshooter on a nearby building, not seen by Videl, tried to blow her head apart.

If it weren't for Saiyaman, she would have been instantly killed.

"I would have been okay, if you had just left things alone." Videl muttered. How dare he best her? She was supposed to be the great City Champion, and here is a boy dressed like an idiot, showing her up.

"I don't know, Miss Videl, that was awful close. If it wasn't for me-"

"I would have been just fine, thank you!" She yelled angrily. She started to stalk away, but decided to chew him out a little more.

"Look, you…I don't know who you are, but I don't appreciate you trying to make me look like a fool! I can handle myself just fine, I'm the City's Champion and I'll be the one to protect them." After venting some more, she proceeded to walk away.

"You can't jeopardize the safety of the citizens. You may need help in the future and if you're in trouble, I'll be there to protect you and the citizens of this fair city!"

"Jackass! I don't need any protecting!" She shouted while continuing to walk away from the caped idiot.

Rationally, she knew he was right. One person cannot handle anything and she was painfully aware that she almost got killed.

It wasn't right for her to stop him from helping her and protecting her citizens. If she didn't let him help, then she could jeopardize the safety of innocent people. Yet, she didn't want his help. She would almost rather die than have him help her. Videl had a lot of pride, but that thought scared her nonetheless. Why couldn't she be weak in front of him? Why did she have to have such an ego on this crime fighting stuff? Why did she want to rip off Saiyaman's helmet and kiss the living day lights out of this man? Why did she think that he was part of the reason why she needed help to fight crime? When she knew he was around, her heart rate would rise up and her concentration would falter. That's when she made costly mistakes, and then it was Saiyaman who saw that she was weak, couldn't do her job, and needed some help.

Did she just have to have some contact with Saiyaman? Was it like she was magnetically attracted to him?

Did she just hate him because he was stronger than her?

She also hated it when he smiled at her, when he looked at her. She felt like she wanted to rip his face apart, and yet she always thought that her face would heat up.

Did his smile unnerve her? Did his bravery piss her off? Why did everything he seemed to do get under her skin? She fantasized about kicking the crap out of him, but after she would beat him up, she would kiss him senseless. He seemed to ignite some kind of passion inside of her.



She couldn't fight the feeling of wanting to scream at him, wanting to hurt him, and then wanting to passionately kiss him all over.





**

Videl shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts about liking Saiyaman. " I'm not supposed to like him." She thought to herself, yet she couldn't deny that she has had fantasies about fighting Saiyaman one minute, and practically kissing him to death the next.

"Whenever I think of Gohan, I drift off and start to think about Saiyaman…and vice-versa. Hmm…just wait until I see Son Gohan…I'll grill him on the subject." With that, Videl walked to her closet, and pulled out a pair of black shorts and a blue tank top, vague memories of last night, kept popping up in her mind, but she kept pushing them back.

"No one keeps secrets from me." She said. "I'll find out for sure if Gohan is Saiyaman…and then I'll black mail him into helping me become as strong as he is…but then if Gohan really is Saiyaman…I'll have to spend a lot of time with him…and I don't want to become his friend…what am I going to do?" She thought to herself.

"Son Gohan…if you only knew the things you were doing to me."
