Hey, so it seems that the sisters came up with an idea to fix Gohan and Videl, but will it work or make things worse? How will Gohan and Videl live with the outcome? Find out...NOW!
Gohan and Videl sighed as they finished the chores for the morning and had their breakfast. They were back to back in an open field relaxing and enjoying the sun. The air was clean and the sky a clear blue with a few small clouds floating here and there.
" Do you think they'll be able to fix this, Gohan?" Videl asked with hope in her voice.
" I think so, but we can't rush them or anything." Gohan chuckled slightly as he played with the tips of his whiskers. " Adding pressure on them wouldn't be such a good thing."
" I just wish I knew why we were changing there." Videl sighed as she tapped her bell lightly. " I hate this stupid thing."
" Really? I like it on you." Gohan chuckled as he jingled his own bell. " Why do you hate it so much?"
" Because I'm not a cat! I'm a crime fighter!" Videl hissed.
" You could be a crime fighting cat."
" Shut up!" Videl growled as she watched Gohan laugh at her. His bell jingling with the rise and fell of his heaving chest. " This isn't funny! Have you once thought of the crime that's been happening at Satan City?"
This made Gohan stop his laughter and tap his chin in thought. He never gave the place a thought, really. " Maybe it's about time the police had a chance to do their job."
" What?" Videl growled as she rolled onto her side to glare at him.
" With you always butting in, how can they do what they were trained to do? How many people do you think they laid off because they weren't needed anymore?"
Now it was Videl's turn to stop and think. She started to feel bad for those she helped lay off; but she quickly shook her head of the ideas and guilt and only glared at the yawning man.
" I've saved many lives and I don't feel a bit sorry."
" And you shouldn't; but you shouldn't feel bad for not being there too." Gohan sighed as he closed his eyes and enjoyed the sun's warmth. " Just relax and take a nap with me."
" A nap? That's what you want to do? We're talking about saving lives and you want to take a nap!" Videl was shocked at the Gohan she was seeing. This wasn't the hero she knew, this was a new and very lazy Gohan.
" Yeah...a nap..." Gohan sighed as he fell deeper into his nap. He could no longer hear the rant Videl hissed at him nor the gentle breeze that blew by them.

" I'm out of ideas!" Demeter sighed heavily as she threw her last spell book at a large oak tree. " None of these damn books say anything useful or anything we don't already know." She turned to see her sister sleeping under another tree. " ...Well just great. Wonderful team work, Artemis! Way to be a team player and help out."
Demeter only snarled as Artemis snored lightly at her. Rage boiled away at her until she grasped her wand tightly and thought about what spell she should cast. Then a thought ogre her; why not go to the source of the spell? Her eyes lit up and she quickly rushed over to her sister and shook her violently awake.
" Huh? Ah! Wha-what is it, Demeter?"
" I got it! I got an idea!"
" ...And?"
" Huh?"
" What's the idea you dimwit!"
"Oh!" Demi blushed at her silliness before she cleared her throat. " why not go to heaven and ask the old gods to fix it?"
Artemis was silent as she digested the information. " You know we can't just go where ever we please like Aunty can."
" Yeah, but...we can always give the ogres something, you know...a trade? They like shiny things!" Demi stated with a song in her voice.
" Alright...it's worth a try." Artemis sighed as she stood up and brushed herself off.

Videl sighed as she watched Gohan sleep. This wasn't what she wanted to be doing on such a nice day, though she was a bit sleepy herself after all those chores. Another sigh escaped her as she looked around.
The pond easily caught her attention and the thought of swimming in it's cool waters was a pleasing thought. She gave a loving gaze toward Gohan before she made her way to the pond and jumped in. She sharply inhaled at the rush of coolness that hit her warmed skin, but it quickly felt lovely to her.
Videl smiled as she thought of her life; how truly blessed she was. She seemed to really strike gold when she opened herself up to Gohan. Since that day; the adventures never seemed to stop, but not in that bad or overbearing way but the exciting and wondrous way.
" You went swimming without me?"
Videl gasped as she quickly adjusted herself to she Gohan at the edge of the pond.
" You were just sleeping."
" Cat napping." Gohan chuckled as he slipped in the water with her and purred as he licked her cheek. " Now, let's play a game."
" Oh? What game is that?" Videl giggled at the smirk he was giving her.
" Chase."

" I can't believe we were able to get in here just by telling those ogres how to level up faster on Dragon Adventure!" Artemis ranted to her smiling sister.
" Hey! It's so much harder to level grind on Dragon Adventure then it is on Final Dreams!" Demeter shot back. ( if you play RPGs, then you know what two games I'm referring to, but incase you don't. It's Dragon Quest/warrior and Final Fantasy)
" So? That doesn't mean you just let people in heaven because they're experience gamers." Artemis huffed as she opened the door leading to the older gods realm.
" I don't see why you're bitching about this. It worked in our favor and that's all that matters; plus, this isn't the first time our geekiness or awesome gamer knowledge gave us the upper hand."
" I know, but what makes me the most upset is that it's the little tricks that really get you through a game or puzzle yet everyone wants the big cheats." Arty sighed as she looked around to see at least 25 old giants scattered across the cloudy plains. " Let's try and play the cute card here, okay?"
" No need to tell me! I'm just as cute as you are." Demeter chuckled. " I'll take the ones on the left and you'll take the rest?"
" Deal."
~ Down at the Barn~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" GOHAN?" Videl screamed through her fits of laughter. Gohan had just pinned her down hard and was blowing raspberries on her stomach. The fits of laughter was paralyzing; so much so she could barely even scream his name.
" Hmmm?" Gohan chuckled as he let up his assault so she may breathe. " What is it?"
" You...you ch-cheater!" She gasped out before she tried to catch her breath.
" 'Cheater'? I don't cheat at anything!" Gohan huffed as he pushed his upper body off of her, but still kept her pinned to the ground.
Videl was about to rant about how he pulled her tail to catch her, but Leo jumped on Gohan and began to nip at his ear and bite at his horns. Videl laughed as she watched Gohan and Leo wrestle. It gave her a chance to unpin herself from her giant of a boyfriend and turn the tables on him as well. She smirked as she pushed Gohan onto his back and quickly moved away from the pouncing cat.
" Wha! Leo?" Gohan whined as he tried to get the beast off him to continue his play with Videl, but it seemed Leo had other plans. He tried to pick the cat up or roll it over, but the beast's odd fur was proving to be a great defense to his cause.
The fur began to cut Gohan's paws as he tried to remove the purring beast. The smell of blood was what snapped Leo and Gohan from their play. They quickly parted and stared at Gohan's cut up paws.
" Gohan? What happened?" Videl asked as he showed her his wounds. She sighed as he just pointed to Leo and Leo only hung his head and whined. " Come on, I'll fix you up."

"...And that's how I grew to hate green beans."
"...But Sir...I asked you if you could help me reverse a spell...not why you hate green beans." Artemis sighed as she tried to reason with the old man.
The old man in question was known as Lontor, the mighty god of reason, but it seemed that he had lost all of it due to age.
" Hm? A spell? I haven't really been casting spells since..." Lontor stopped talking and started stroking his beard. " ... a long time."
"...Right. Mister Lontor...Sir...I really need your help. Two of my dearest friends became shipwrecked on an island of your's and they started to change-!"
" Change? Into what?"
" What? Into monsters! Into cat monsters!" Artemis whined at the pondering god.
" Try going over to Exton, the god of records."
" I don't need a history lesson! I need a reversal spell!" Artemis stomped her foot at the laughing old man that towered over her by many feet.
" Little witch, you and your sister are right to come to us, but you must know that each island holds each of our different spells and magic. So you see, only the god that rules over that island can reverse that effect." Lontor explained as he gently patted her head.
" So Exton can tell us who can reverse it?" Artemis asked.
" In short, yes." Lontor smiled as he listened to the laughs of the old gods that circled the red headed witch. It seemed that she was talking to Maggar, the god of riddles. The young one seemed to be playing along with him and his silly word games. " You and your sister have really brought a spark back up here. It would be nice if you two would come back here once in a while."
" Of course! It'd be cool to learn all we can from you guys!" Artemis smiled as she ran off to save her sister and try to find Exton.
~ Barn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Videl gave Gohan a small lick on the cheek as she placed the last band-aid on his paws. She smiled at the large man who sniffled at the sting of the medicine Videl had to apply on all the tiny cuts he gained.
" This is Leo's fault." Gohan mewed sadly.
" Gohan. You can take a bone shattering punch in the face and not even blink yet you're tearing up because of a bit of a sting?" Videl sighed at the man.
" It hurts!" Gohan growled as he pulled his hands out of his mate's. He crossed his arms and pouted. " Can we eat now?"
" Oh, are you hungry?" Videl smiled as she wrapped her arms around Gohan's waist. She purred as she rubbed his rolling abs. She loved the feel of his hard body, but what she loved more was the reaction she gained from him when she would sneak a feel.
Gohan was nervous and shy right now, but some times he would be bold and eager. Videl always had fun teasing him no matter what mood he was in. She chuckled at his nervous throat clearing and twitching.
"So...what are we going to eat?" Gohan asked as he watched Videl's fingers lightly run up and down his mid section. He could feel his face burn up and hear the blood race in his ears. He had the habit of becoming nervous and unsure when Videl became so surprisingly bold; however, he had his bold moments too.
" Why don't we go catch something..." She purred as she removed the bell collar from his thick neck.
The way she said that made his blood soar through his veins and thoughts burn into his eyes. " B-but...We aren't supposed to..."
" Oh? So you don't want to?" Videl asked as she began to take her own collar off. " Come on now...just like we need on the island."
Gohan blushed deeply as his eyes widened at his girlfriend. No wonder she never played with the toys, she was chasing stuff without him! " Alright...Let's have some fun."
~ In Heaven ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Artemis and Demeter smiled as they walked through the realm on their search of knowledge. They talked to many gods who were all very nice and quite willing to help. They had finally found Exton and discovered that Videl and Gohan had the misfortune of landing on the island of Dremorg, the Demon God of War and Torture.
" The beasts that they were turning into were of his greatest creations. The larger male was to be his battle tiger. Strong enough to carry 2 mighty gods in full battle armor and not lose an once of speed. The tiger would have been almost impossible to catch or overpower let alone kill. As for the female, she was changing into a beast that was more alert and agile then any other creature. With this beast, Dremorg wanted it to quickly overwhelm any army as though it was a blade and the army was a field of grass." Exton spoke with a rasp in his voice.
" How are we to fix them then?" Demeter yelled at the slow god. Worry was plainly written on the both of them.
" In my opinion, it would be best; and most merciful, to end them. The only one who can care them is a demon god and he would not do so." Exton sighed as he slowly shook his head.
" Bullshit! We're going to go see this asshole right now!" Artemis roared as she was about to stomp off she heard Exton sigh.
" Little witch, he would not do so because he was killed by the very creatures that your friends are becoming." He smiled as he watched the hope run out of the two young girls. " Fear none and lose not Hope; all is not lost. You have told me that the spell no longer changes them, but it has yet to release it's hold. As witches, you should know that is when a spell is at it's weakest."
" But Exton...We can't break a spell if we don't even know what it is." Demeter whined as she wiped a single tear from her eye.
" If only we had a hint! We could at least give it a good try!" Arty growled.
" Well, you two will find no such thing here. Know that we gods need ingredients to pull off a permeant spell such as that. What may be a surprise to you is that you will not find any of that here."
" Where did you get your supplies at then?" Arty wondered. " You can't get anymore special then here. I would think that the rarest of stuff would be here."
Exton chuckled for a bit before he smiled warmly at the two. " Many think that way, but in truth, we gained our best ingredients on your plane and planet; Earth. Now go, read over as many books as you can and maybe you will over come your situation and break the spell of a god."
~ At the Barn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Gohan! Videl! We've brought some snacks and sodas!" Goten and Trunks yelled as they touched the ground before the others and rushed into the main stable, only to return to their parents with sad faces.
" Are they not in the barn?" Bulma asked as she scanned the area..
" They appear to be chasing after something." vegeta grunted as he crossed his arms.
" No way! Not with those collars my mom put on them." Bulma giggled at the thought of the two in their collars.
" You mean the two collars on that table over there?" Vegeta smirked as he pointed to a small table inside the stable. Everyone rushed inside to see that the collars were in fact removed.
" WHAT? We have to get them before they catch anything!" Bulma hissed. " My mom will be so pissed!"
" Alright. I'll teleport us there!" Goku smiled.
~ Woods~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone appeared in the middle of the woods in the barn, however, they saw no one around.
" Guys? We know you're here!" Bulma shouted. She jumped as a large bush started to rustle. Gohan's tail rose from the bush, but quickly went back down. " Gohan! Out of that bush!"
As soon as Bulma ordered Gohan to move; he did. He jumped straight from the ground to a nearby tree. He dug his claws in before he quickly scaled the large oak and made his way to a large enough branch to sit and watch them.
" Hello."
" That's all you have to say? You took off your collars!" Bulma growled at him.
Gohan only laughed as he watched Goten and Trunks scale his tree and sit on nearby branches like him.
" Where's Sissy?" Goten asked as he tried to grab onto Gohan's tail, but failed to reach it due to Gohan moving it out of his range.
" I don't know. We just got done eating a few rabbits and decided to go back and play in these woods." Gohan purred as he licked his lips in the thought of Videl's delicious cooking.
" You two ate some of Aunty's bunnies? But didn't she tell you guys not to?" Goten asked his older brother.
" Well, Videl wanted to chase down our meal like we were doing at the island and I have to say I rather enjoy it when we do." Gohan purred as he raked his claws against the trees bark.
" Gohan. We came to give you guys some snacks and stuff so no more killing critters for meals, okay?" Goku sighed as he rubbed his neck. He was happy to see that the two teens were happy.
" Gohan!" Everyone turned to see Videl On another branch. She panted lightly, but it did not obscure the joy in her voice. " Why didn't you tell me everyone was her?"
" Sorry, Vi. I just haven't been able to move after that meal you made us."
" Cute. Anyway, it's time to wash up and hit the hay. We have an early morning tomorrow!" She purred as she waved everyone goodbye and goodnight.
Sorry for the SUPER LONG wait, but I tried to make it up by making a super long chapter! Sorry again, but I do what I can!
