*********Chapter 15*********
When Videl and Gohan parted from their friends, Videl had already made up her mind. She would definitely go with Gohan even if it meant her life. Gohan was still not too sure about the thought, but Videl did have a right to know. As they continued walking, Gohan told her all about Vegetasei.
"Whoa! Wait so Vegeta has his own planet?" Videl exclaimed.
"Well when the planet was first settled, the king who was named Vegeta, named it after himself. The King named his son after him, and so on until, Vegeta as we know him today."
"Oh, interesting. Were all the Vegeta's like this Vegeta?" Asked Videl.
"Well I have only heard of one good Vegeta but that was along time ago, they say he was the one that ruined our status as a universal power. Every Vegeta since then has vowed to accomplish what the good Vegeta lost. That is one of the reasons why we want to conquer your planet. It's, uh… to redeem ourselves, I guess." Videl was very quiet as Gohan talked, she was thinking about what he had said.
"So, are you still taking over the planet?" She asked, only wondering if him meeting her made a difference. Gohan hesitated, he wanted to tell her the truth but it might be a risk, knowing how determined she can get. But then the thought struck him her determination might actually help.
"Well, I guess since you know what's mostly going on, I'll tell you the rest."
"There's more?" Videl stopped, looked into Gohan eyes and tilted her head a little.
"One afternoon Vegeta called his dad, and he asked Vegeta if the planet was ready for takeover, but Vegeta suggested an alliance. Which I think is logical, but the King didn't think so. So he has given us three months to reconsider our decision and that was two months ago."
"Oh my gosh we only have one month! Have you guys decided on what you are going to do?"
"Kuririn and I want an alliance with your planet, but Vegeta, he is the real decision maker. He is so depressed," Gohan cast his gaze to the floor. "he has totally given up, I'm afraid that we have no hope." Videl's determination kicked in, just as Gohan wanted it to, he knew that Videl would help.
"Vegeta depressed? Boy he doesn't show much, you would never have known. May I ask why he is depressed?"
"Uh, well there's this girl…" Gohan hesitated.
"A girl? He has girl problems?" Videl sounded a bit surprised, but hey every guy gets girl problems, right?
"Yes a girl, and he is so torn up over her. He can't tell her how he feels because it is just not in his nature."
"Well I can see why…"
"Yep, Kuririn and I just don't know what to do, I'm sure if we get them together, he'll have determination to stand up to his, uh I mean the King."
"Wow how can someone have no determination?" Videl said to herself quietly. She then looked up and smiled. "So who's the girl?" Gohan put his hand behind his neck and hesitated.
"It's uh… Buruma," Said Gohan, Videl let out a squeal, "Aww, man he's going to kill me if he finds out I told you."
"Oh, but who cares they are so perfect for each other!" Videl squealed again and Gohan winced from the pitch of it. "So how are we going to get them together?" Gohan shrugged his shoulders. Videl looked at him and sighed. "So I guess, this might prove to be a challenge." Videl and Gohan left the mall and went to Videl's mansion. They worked out together and then had dinner.
Vegeta was sitting alone in the dark kitchen of the Kuri home, clutching a glass of water. He was thinking about what he would do when his father arrived, he had been training a lot lately to relieve stress. It always helped him think in times of pressure, lately he had been getting so frustrated that he would spend all his energy while training in the training room on his ship. He would just conk out on the floor and stay there the rest of the night. This time he was mentally hitting himself for revealing to Gohan why he wasn't able to think. He slammed his drink down hard onto the table and went to the training room. He flicked on the lights and set the gravity a bit higher than normal. He started out on the floor and tried to pick himself up; when he succeeded he went over to the panel and put it on a lower gravitational pull. He knew he was getting stronger, and his B plan was to kill his father if it ever amounted to it. His ears perked at the sound of someone coming in the training room. He turned his head and found Gohan at the door.
"What do you want?" Vegeta said a bit annoyed at being interrupted.
"I just wanted to see what you were up to, since I just got home from eating dinner with Videl." Vegeta's eyes got wide with hunger.
"Dinner?"
"Oh, uh sorry I didn't bring you anything." Gohan dropped to the floor and started to cower. Vegeta sighed and told him to get his ass off the floor.
"Well since you have been so insolent as to not bring me dinner, I guess you'll have to be my…what was that thing Kuririn has? A pig of some sort. Guinea pig? Ah, that's it. You'll be my guinea pig." Gohan lifted a brow and spit.
"Ha, I'll fight if that's what you mean, but I'm not just going to stand there."
"Good, let's go." The two teens went to opposite ends of the room. They both got into fighting positions. At the same exact moment they both shot into the air, Vegeta flew straight at Gohan and powered up. Vegeta formed a little ki ball and threw it at Gohan's stomach. Gohan dodged it easily.
"Is that all you've got?" Gohan flew in circles and kicked Vegeta's arm. Vegeta blocked it with a spin and ki ball, he then flew to the floor and stood there. Gohan was at the top of the room, looking down on Vegeta. He smirked at the thought of Vegeta losing him. But his fun cut short when Vegeta suddenly appeared right next to him. Gohan's eyes widened as Vegeta's clenched hands came down on his back. Gohan slammed onto the floor and made a small dent. He pulled himself up and shot to the side of the room. Vegeta watched his movement carefully and was at the side before he was. Vegeta kicked him in the side and made Gohan leave another tiny dent on the rooms' side. Gohan was frustrated now and did anything to try and land a hit on Vegeta. Vegeta laughed at him mockingly when Gohan was on the floor…again.
"Jeez is this how you treat someone who is going to help you?" One of Vegeta's eyebrows went up.
"Help me? With what?" He snorted.
"Well with your girl trouble."
"WHAT?! I thought I told you to never mention that again! You didn't tell any one did you?" Vegeta's sides were heaving as he thought of the possibility of losing his dignity.
"Uh…no…"
"That does not sound convincing. Tell me now!" Vegeta went over to Gohan and got up in his face. "Who did you tell?"
"Just Videl…"
"VIDEL?!" Vegeta pushed Gohan backwards and the fighting commenced once again. Vegeta's eyes were flaming as he powered up. "Wait." Vegeta said, he powered down and went to the door. Gohan was breathing heavily. "Let's go out side to the desert." Vegeta's hands were in fists as he left the room. Gohan let out a sigh and followed him out to the desert.
~What will Vegeta do to poor Gohan in the desert? Will Vegeta and Buruma ever get together? What will Videl do to make that happen? Who knows. I guess you'll just have to find out next time with Buruma!
