Disappearance?

"Videl, where were you yesterday? Gohan's back!" Erasa exclaimed. Videl watched her friend as she walked to her seat.

"I know, Erasa he gave me my homework,"

"Oh, so why did he come back?" she asked curiously

"How should I know," she responded coldly.

"Defensive, huh," Erasa discontinued the conversation when she noticed Gohan's entrance.

-

"What's wrong, Videl?" Gohan asked worried.

"Nothing, I'm a just tired,"

"You didn't get sleep, I'm sorry," he sounded guility

"It's not your fault," she was sounding reassuring because she knew it wasn't his fault, "What about you? You left when the sun was setting,"

"I went to Bulma's; I had to help her with her new invention,"

"What is she making?"

"I really can't say. We have to make sure it works first."

"I understand," Videl waited as the teacher thought her lesson on the stars. She drifted in and out of the lesson thinking, 'What if Gohan took her to see the stars, or what if the watched them just from earth.' She really didn't care as long as she was with him. The stars beauty didn't compare to Gohan's. Minutes passed, suddenly.

"I'll be back," Gohan quickly said as he raised his hands to go to the bathroom. She knew what that meant, trouble. But Videl looked at him confused his facially expression wasn't reassuring at all as if he felt danger this time. As if it might not be the normal criminal today. But she still believed, she hoped somebody or many bodies were trying to be criminals, but didn't realize that Gohan was coming or Dark Mystery whichever he preferred to be. She only hoped it was one of those 'fake criminals.'

Videl waited for Gohan to arrive back in class after a few minutes but he didn't arrive.

"Where is he?" she asked herself.

"Hey Videl where is Gohan? The bathroom isn't that far away is it?" Erasa laughed at her supposed-to-be joke. But she noticed how tensed Videl was.

"No, Erasa and I don't know where he is? He said he'd be right back, it concerns me,"

"Awww, I knew it, besides your tenseness is making it more obvious,"

"What are you talking about?"

"You're in love with him,"

"No I'm not I'm just concerned about his safety, I'm sorry if I care about my boyfriend,"

"Okay, you lke him more than like-like---wait, Boyfriend?" she asked as she interrupted her own statement.

"Yes,"

"Since when?"

"Since it's been official," she said stupidly, truly not remembering when it became official. She didn't feel ashamed of admitting that Gohan was her boyfriend. It wasn't like Erasa didn't know in the first place. Erasa probably knew before she did, but she did feel awkward, though. Gohan her boyfriend more like Videl, Gohan's girlfriend, was she even able to appear on Gohan's side. Was she even disserving of Gohan's trust, happiness, glory, time, love? Love….love who said he loved her? Who said she loved him? She didn't, he didn't. Why was she so deep in thought for Gohan?

-

Gohan was still gone during lunch, Algebra, even PE.

"Excuse me Krillen, have you seen Gohan?"

"He isn't back yet," Krillen responded with a confuse look on his face.

"it must have been more serious than we thought," she heard him whisper to Yamcha.

"Do you think that's why the ki's were depleting?"

"I don't know I never thought it would be so difficult, the ki was small…at first,"

"You're right, but I stopped paying attention to it after that I thought he's be back by now,"

"Should we leave?"

"No, not yet, Gohan would want us to protect Videl. I don't know if they were watching him….what if…"

"Yamcha," he looked at Videl after punching Yamcha to stop him from talking.

"Where is Gohan? What's wrong with him? Is he in trouble?"

"Videl he's fine were you listening to us."

"Yes, it wasn't hard either,"

"There's nothing wrong with Gohan so you don't have to worry," he gave her a reassuring smile.

"I don't believe you,"

"Can we talk about this after class, please?"

"As long as I know what's wrong with Gohan,"

"Fine," was Krillen's response but he looked very averse to say it.

-

"Where is Gohan?"

"I don't know," was his response once again. She had been asking the same question for the past 5 minutes. She wanted to know where he was, because she missed him. He kept his promise she seen him but was this why he made that promise for him to disappear and have her worry.

"Where did he go?"

"He went to save someone?'

"Who? Why? Did he know he would get hurt? Is he hurt? Tell me."

"What has Gohan told you about his life?"

"Not much. Why?"

"Videl, Gohan has many secrets and it would be better for him to tell you who or what he is because I know I don't want him to kill me because he'll think I ran you away."

"Please, he told me I would know eventually. I don't care who tells me I just want to know. Why does he have so many secrets?"

"Look Videl, Gohan isn't completely human, that is all I'm telling you,"

"WOW, I knew that already he can fly and has incredible speed and strength that was obvious."

"That doesn't mean anything, Yamcha and I can fly. We may not be as strong as Gohan but we're stronger than most humans."

"Okay, what about my father? I know Gohan defeated him but how?"

"How do you that?"

"I had a dream when I was little, it was this young boy all gold and he beat him. But the second time I had it and it was Dark Mystery but younger. I didn't believe it at first but when my dreams started becoming reality this year. I'm 100% sure that it was Gohan because there is no way my father beat him when he got blown out the ring. I may be human but I'm not as gullible," she smiled. She was positive now, "Besides you just told me,"

"No-"

"I'm sorry you're right your expressions did," she started to laugh.

"Anyway, Gohan's ki has dropped dramatically, but we do not know why or where he is. We are going to his house to see if Chi-Chi knows where he is, but I doubt it. You can come along you'll probably learn more about Gohan that way and where he is but we can't guarantee anything."

"Fine, how will we-" she stopped they did say they knew how to fly, "Who's carrying me?"

"Ummm, Yamcha,"

"No, Gohan isn't killing me,"

"Fine,"

-

They arrived at Chi-Chi's in about 3 hours they took a detour to Bulma's to find Vegeta and Bulma. Bulma was home busy with Capsule Corp. stuff. Vegeta and Trunks went looking for Gohan 3 hours ago.

"Where's Gohan?" Chi-Chi quickly came out of the house screaming with a frying pan ready to swing.

"We don't know Chi-Chi we thought he might be here,"

"No, Goten left with Vegeta and Trunks. Vegeta totally kidnapped my son you better find him Krillen and Yamcha. Oh hi Videl," just noticing Videl's appearance.

"Hello Mrs. Son,"

"Do you know where Gohan is?"

"No, sorry,"

"But she is just as worried as you are," Krillen interrupted.

"Don't worry about him, Chi-Chi this is Gohan he's the strongest in the universe. By the way has Goku contacted you I believe he'll be here within the week?"

"Goku!?" she exclaimed.

"I'm guessing he didn't tell you, so he probably didn't tell Gohan either."

"NO, he didn't. He's coming back to the living, really?"

"Yea, he said something about someone was committing suicide and King Yamu gave Goku the life…some mess I don't understand,"

"Okay, shouldn't you be looking for my son, now,"

"Oh, yea, see how you distract us."

-

"You felt that,"

"Yea,"

"What is it?"

"There're is a massive amount of energy, no 2 and some fading ones 3,000 meters SW."

"Is it Gohan?"

"I think so,"

"Hhhhuuuuhhh,"

"What's wrong?" Videl asked Krillen. Who had suddenly stopped in a position as if he was just stabbed in his abdomen?

"Ahhhhh"

"It's Goku," Yamcha answered Videl's question.

"Who is Goku?" she was never really told who Goku was she had a guess most likely that was most likely Gohan's father, by Chi-Chi's reaction besides he was a world martial arts champion, before her father from her knowledge.

"Our hero," was Yamcha's response.

"And Gohan's father," Krillen added, "And Chi-Chi's husband,"

"He's back from where?" she asked curiously.

"The dead," he said coldly, "Gohan may have defeated Cell but t took his father' s death to accomplish it. The first one to fight Cell was Goku then Gohan, who Hercule called the 'Delivery Boy' fought. Gohan's new found ability was extraordinary not one of the Sayians had reached it but it went to his head, and he didn't kill him quickly enough. He gave Cell a chance to recover and he did. Cell made himself a bomb, one move and he would explode, the earth along with it. Goku being magnanimous and forgiving took Cell to another planet and instead of earth, he, Cell and wherever he was, exploded along with it. But Cell did not die; he came back using the same technique Goku had just used. Goku's death wasn't in vain I guess because Gohan did defeat him, but at what cost. It wasn't as easy as before because Gohan had weakened and Cell had gotten stronger. But Gohan was able to win with the help of his father and Vegeta. Gohan blamed himself for a while but we cheered him up because we knew that's what Goku would want, besides we could have brought him back sooner but he wanted to stay dead."

"WOW, I'm sure that's not even the beginning is it?"

"No, Gohan's life started truly at 4, the Cell Games was age 11 we missed 7 years, but I'll let him tell you"

"Thanks, I need to take all that in," Videl laid in Krillen's arms thinking. Gohan's life wasn't easy; he lost his father, at 11not only that he considered his fault. It was hard for her to believe Gohan looked to be so average. He seemed like a regular nerd, who studied too much. Had little fun, because he had homework to do or his mother had something for him to do. But who would have thought he lives both lives and more. He's the hero, the nerd, the regular, the boyfriend, the son, Dark Mystery, he did so much that she didn't know, before she knew him. 'I guess its Kami's grace for me to meet someone like him," she thought to herself.

Gohan is a great person and she truly did have feelings for him. But why out of all people her, Videl Satan. Knowing Gohan he could get anybody, he knew mostly everything about books, except girls. He probably had no time saving the world, but she would teach him. If he wasn't happy she would let him go, maybe not fully and she wouldn't let him know, but if someone made him happier than she could. She would let him go, because his happiness was more important than hers, besides if he was happy, she was happy.

'Gohan," she whispered as she drifted in and out of consciousness.
