*******Chapter 10*******

Buruma pulled away from Juuhachi's driveway, Juuhachi waved after her and gave Rex the evil eye. Juuhachi went inside and called Videl. Buruma shook her head and apologized to Rex for her friend. They headed toward Capsule Corporation and they began to talk.

"So you are the daughter of the famous Dr. Briefs? Boy would I like to meet him."

"Really? You want to meet him?"

"Yeah, I mean if we are going to go steady then I would have to get his approval, right?" Buruma couldn't believe what she was hearing, her going out with someone? She was in dreamland.

"Are you asking me out?"

"Yeah if you want to that is." Buruma smiled and nodded. She was ecstatic she couldn't believe it. Rex then tapped her shoulder.

"Uh Buruma, you're going a bit fast, it's a red light. Aren't you going to stop?" he was fidgeting around and pressing himself up against the seat.

"Oh my gosh! Ahhhhh!!!!" Buruma slammed her foot down on the brake pedal and came to a screeching halt. When they stopped they were just over the line on the street marking the crosswalk, and there happened to be an old man crossing the street. They looked at each other and back out to the street. They both sighed with relief.

"I'm guessing no more surprises in the car." Rex half smiled at her. Buruma slowly shook her head no. They reached CC with no further trouble. Buruma showed Rex where her father was and told him to ask him where her room was when he was done. She left him there to go call Videl. Wow he's such a gentleman, I am so happy! She thought to herself.

When she reached her room she grabbed her phone, touched the speed dial, and plopped down on her bed.

buzzzzz buzzzzz buzzzzzz it was busy, buzzz buzzz buzz…hello? Videl speaking."

"Hi Videl, guess what?"

"Huh? Guess what? Um let's see you sound happy. So it's something good."

"Yep, you know Rex right?"

"Let me guess, he asked you out? Didn't he."

"Yeah!" Buruma squealed into the phone, which made Videl pull the phone away from her ear.

"I knew it, the way you talked about him. Hey I've got Juuhachi on the other line you want me to tell her?"

"Yeah sure! I'll wait." (meanwhile)

Click!

"Hi Juuhachi, you'll never guess who just called. It was Buruma, Rex asked her out! What are we going to do?"

"I don't know Videl, there is just something about him that I don't like. I gave him the overprotective friend lecture."

"You did?"

"Yep, and he just dismissed it! Well do you think we should just let it go?"

"I don't know, maybe we should. She's able to take care of herself, we should be happy for her." They both sighed and agreed to let it go but still be on the look out. Videl clicked back to Buruma.

"Hi Buruma! Juuhachi gives her squealingness to you."

"Wow, cool. Um, Rex is here now, he just went to go ask my dad for permission! What a gentleman."

"Cool. Then I'll let you go, I'll see you at school. Bye!"

"Bye! See ya."

Click!

Rex walked around her room and inspected it.

"Wow, this is such a cool room, you've got everything in here. Hey is that a revolving closet?" He pointed towards her closet.

"Yep."

"Can I see?"

"Sure, let me show how it works." Buruma went over to her closet and pressed a button on the wall. It opened the closet. "if you press this one," it was a blue one, "it brings the jeans to the front and the other buttons do the same but bring out different clothing."

"Cool. What else have you guys got around here?" Buruma gave him the grand tour and showed him the kitchen, the pool, her lab and the T.V room. They ended up in the living room and decided to watch T.V.

Meanwhile Gohan was talking to Kuririn about what Vegeta had said.

"What are we going to do? Is there any way out of this?" Asked Kuririn.

"No not from my understanding. Do you think they'll understand all of this?" Gohan asked. Casting his glance to the floor, brooding the enviable.

"You know maybe they would, I told Buruma about the mission you were on."

"You did? Let me guess they laughed at you."

"Yeah they did." Kuririn sighed. "Shall we go tell them?"

"I don't want to, but it has to be done. Meet back here in a few hours?"

"Yeah ok." They both sulked and walked in different directions to their girlfriends. Vegeta was listening around the corner; he didn't feel sorry for them he knew it was the only way. He was the only one happy because he didn't take a girlfriend. He was glad now, that Buruma had found someone else. Now he could concentrate on making his case sound convincing. Gohan flew to Videl's house; he landed in the front debating with himself. He made up his mind and walked up to the door, which miraculously opened. It was Videl! She was rushing out the door and bumped into Gohan.

"Hi Gohan! What are you doing here?"

"I need to talk to you." Her face dropped from happiness to 'oh no he's going to brake up with me' look.

"What is it?" She led him to the sidewalk away from her house and dad.

"Did Buruma tell you about why I'm here?"

"Yeah, is it true?"

"Yes it is, and my Prince made a deadly mistake and now the King is coming to take your planet by force." Videl broke into a laughing fit.

"Your not serious, are you?" she could see now that he was indeed very serious, "Oh my gosh you are serious. But why have you come here?"

"Well my Prince has given me the order to let you go, I can't go out with you any more. Believe me it would be so much better, you could hide, you'll be safer."

"You what? No Gohan please no, I love you." She burst into tears and hugged Gohan. She sobbed for a long time, asking him why.

"No Gohan, I don't care about the planet being taken over, I want to be with you. Gohan can't you see that?" Gohan broke down.

"I love you too, Videl, But do you know what happens when we Saiyajins take over a planet? Every one on the planet becomes a slave, and horrible things are done to them. I don't want that to happen to you."

"But if I know you, then, would it make a difference?"

"I don't know, maybe, maybe not, most likely not. Videl you have a better chance of surviving if you are on your own."

"No Gohan, I'm going to take that chance, you love me right?"

"Yes I do."

"Then it doesn't matter, I'm staying with you. There is nothing you can do about it." Gohan knew there was no pushing her away so he let it be.

"Ok Videl you win we'll stay together." He smiled at her and kissed her. She kissed him back, she totally forgot what she was suppose to do and invited Gohan in to her house.

Before Gohan came over she was on her way to Juuhachi's to work on a project, but it turned out for the best because Kuririn showed up. Juuhachi was outside with her brother practicing her martial arts on him.

"Come on Juunana! Dodge my kicks and punches. You're being such a weakling." Juuhachi was absorbed in her fight with Juunana that she didn't see Kuririn until he was right behind Juunana. She stopped and waved to him, leaving a wide gap for Juunana. He kicked and sent her flying into the grass.

"Aaaaarrrrrrgggg! Juunana! That was unfair, I was distracted." Juunana grinned evilly and turned to Kuririn.

"What do you want pip squeak with a mop for hair?"

"I need to speak with Juuhachi, alone." Kuririn turned red after he said that because Juunana started to chuckle.

"Hey this is important." Kuririn said.

"Fine whatever." Juunana walked back inside very slowly trying to get a glimpse of what Kuririn was gonna say.

"Juuhachi…" Kuririn started.

"What's wrong Kuririn?" Juuhachi interrupted.

"Well, you know why the Saiyajins are here right?"

"To supposedly take over the world right?" Juuhachi said mockingly.

"Yeah that's right, well they are coming in three months. And they are going to make everyone on this planet slaves. And no one will be saved or spared." Kuririn waited to see Juuhachi's reaction. Juuhachi just stared at Kuririn.

"What does this mean? Am I ever going to see you again?"

"No you will never see me again." Juuhachi started to cry.

"Oh Juuhachi don't cry please, I love you. You know that, and if there is something I could do, I would do it." Juuhachi started to cry even harder. Kuririn took her in his arms and cradled her for what seemed like hours.

"Kuririn?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm not going to let you leave me for some stupid Saiyajin invasion." She stated.

"What!? I have to, I can't…" Kuririn trailed off because just then Juuhachi kissed him. He kissed her back.

"Juuhachi…I won't leave you. I love you too much. And I'm going to do whatever it takes to not lose you to those Saiyajin things."

Juuhachi squealed in delight. "Oh Kuririn I love you too!"

Juuhachi had completely forgotten about Videl. Until Videl called her later that evening.

Ring! Ring!

"Hi Juuhachi speaking"

"Hi Juuhachi! It's Videl"

"Oh hi Videl, oh my gosh I know why your calling! Oh man I completely forgot about that! I'm so sorry."

"Oh that's ok I forgot too. Gohan came over. And he told me what was happening. Can you believe he wanted to break up?"

"You too? Yeah Kuririn came over to my house and told me too."

"Are you two still together?" Videl wondered

"Yeah we are after a few hours of crying, on my part. Are you and Gohan?"

"Yep, I wouldn't let him leave me."

"Me neither."

"So that's that, I guess we just wait now. Hopefully everything ends well."

"Yeah me too, I'll see ya tomorrow ok?"

"k. bye."

"bye."
