CHAPTER SEVEN


With only one month left untill the tournament Videl trained more then ever. Also she noticed that there were less and less planetary missions for all of the sayjins. Gohan explained that his people wanted to be close to the planet because of the nearness of the full moon.
He said that many cerimonies were being planned and it took alot of effort for them to be put into motion. Videl understood that. The less sayjins out destroying galaxies the better, she thought. The set back of it was that many men no longer had other species to take their arrgesions out on. that lead to alot of fights right in the middle of the streets.
Even calm, in control, Gohan was edgy all the time. He would wake her up in the middle of the night just to spar. Then he'd go back to bed and sleep like a baby. As weird as she found it, Qupr said it was normal behavior for sayjins. Today was no different.

Gohan stood up tall and pulled off his weighted training armor. He tossed it aside and Videl gulped. Her eyes fell over his hard muscular body and did not see an ounce of fat on him. He was wide shouldered and went narrow at the hip. Gohan wrapped his brown tail around his waist and glared at her.
Videl gulped again and got up off her comfortable spot on the grass. She knew how much stronger he was without the armor on and she did her best to look tough. Gohans eyes narrowed and her bravado disipated.
"No sayjins who will be entering the tournament will wear their armor." Gohan said. "It is against the rules. And because it will take place the day before the full moon, all will be at their peek." He stood with his feet apart and fists raised. "Are you ready?"
No, Videl thought. She wasn't ready. How could she be ready? She couldn't even beat Gohan yet and he was a low level!
Gohan sensed her uneasyness and lowed his hands. He walked up to her and place his hands on her shoulders. "You'll be fine. You're alot stronger then you let yourself believe you are. Now attack me." He backed up and retook his stance.
Videl swallowed her fear and attacked. She flew up and Gohan nimbly dodged her punch and she spun back around trying to land a hit. Now with his armor off, he was much faster. Gohan blocked her hits and kicks.
"Come on," he said. "I know you can do better then this!"
Videl growled and landed a swift upper cut on his face. Gohan stumbled back and she hit him again and again. Gohan flew back and into a cliffs bottom, reducing it to rubble. Videl flew back.
"KA . . ME. . HA . . ME . . HAAA!" She let the ball rip and smash into the rock pile. As the smoke cleared she braced herself for his attack.
Nothing happened.
"Gohan?" she asked lowering her fists.
She squinted her eyes and saw one bleeding hand pop out from the rocks. Gohan stood up and groaned. His body was scratched with numerous cut and he looked up at her. And smiled.
What the hell!?!? Videl thought. How was he able to smile after all that?
Gohan attacked again and Videl quickly got back on gaurd. Gohan tossed some medium energy blasts at her and she dodged then or smacked them away. He neared in and Videl got an idea.
She landed on the ground and raised one arm straight up. "Distructo Disk!" A thin yellow disk grew over her head and as soon as it was complete she threw it at Gohan.
Gohan grinned and assumed it was another weak attack, but as it cut through a tree he knew better. Gohan twisted to the side just in time for it so miss his belly, but it still sliced his upper arm.
"AHHH!" Gohan shouted grabbing his arm with his other hand. He landed and croutched down in pain.
"Gohan!" Videl cried rushing up to him. "Are you okey?"
"Fine." he said. "New attack?"
Videl blushed. "Well it was the first time I tried it. A friend of mine back on Earth invented it and was teaching it to me before-"
She stopped as he lifted his hand away from his wound. Blood dripped openly and the gash went halfway through his arm!
"You are not fine!" Videl shouted.
"It's just a scrap."
"I can see bone!" Videl ripped off a strip of blue material from her cape without even thinking of it. "We are going home right now so I can bandage this properly." she said tying the wrap on.
"Nag nag nag." Gohan said under his breath. He didn't argue though and the two flew home faster than usual.
"You go lay down and I'll get the bandages." Videl ordered. Gohan sighed and marched off to his bed room.
Videl dropped his armor on the sofa and went into the bathroom. She picked up an arm load of first aid stuff and went into his room. When she got there, Gohan laid on his back asleep. He gently breathed in normaly as if the blood running off his body was nothing to worry about.
Videl rolled her eyes and knelt down by his bed. She saw no reason to wake him because he had a big training mission in the morning. She made quick work of his arm injury and turned her attention to his many cuts and bruises. Videl dipped some swabs in cool water and began wipeing away his cuts. As she blood was cleared off she couldn't help but notice how handsom he was when he slept. He looked like a sweet little child.
His eyes were concealed behind his soft lashes, but she knew they were a deep black that sparkled when he rarely smiled. His tall smooth body was covered in well developed musculs and soft skin. She ran one hand along his cheast.
How could someone who has seen so much blood shed, still look like an angel when he slept?
Videl leaned over and added a bandage to a cut on his belly. Gohan gasped in his sleep and she paused. Is he tickelish? she wondered. Suddenly she felt something tickel her!
Videl turned and saw his tail flick about playfully, as if it had a life of it's own. Videl supressed a giggle and reached out to pet the brown fur. It was suprisenly soft. Like that of a new born kitten, or a rabbit. She strocked the fur and Gohan shifted again. She looked at him and decided to stop it. She turned back to the job at hand but found that her arm couldn't move. She peeked back at the tail and saw it had wrapped itself around her wrist. And wouldn't let go.
She tried to unravel it from her but found it was locked tight. It didn't hurt, but it was just unconveniant. And very furry. Videl was about to jerk her hand away when she remembered what Gohan said the night they first met.
Never touch a sayjins tail.
Living here, Videl soon discovered that their tails are extreamly sensitive and a slight pull can injure them greatly. She sighed and rested her chin on the palm of her other hand. How was she going to get out of this one? Videl smiled as the tail wiggled around her wrist. She laughed and covered her mouth. She didn't want to wake Gohan. Death by tail tickle. videl giggled again and reached down for the tail.
As soon as she touched it she found herself strocking it. Rubbing it up and down. Petting its thick, dark fur.
Gohan jumped and woke up. He looked around for what was daring to touch his tail like this, and he saw Videl.
"Oh," Videl said seeing he was up. "sorry. Your tail got ahold of me and I was trying to get it off."
Gohan looked at her as if she was insane. Didn't she know by now that feeling a sayjins tail like that was very intimate? Gohan wondered. He gazed up at her from his possition on the bed. She looked so innocent. So pure. His hormones must be getting the better of him. He reached up and wrapped his hand around the back of her neck. She tensed but he drew her down anyway. She was pressed to him from knee to chest and he did what he'd been aching to do for weeks.
Videls blue eyes widened in suprise as she felt Gohans lips over hers. He tilted his head to gain better acsess and pulled her closer. Her eyes fluttered shut and she moved to deepen the kiss. She put her hands on his shoulders and sank her fingers into the strong muscles there.
"Gohan." she whispered.
"I've been going crazy." he groaned as he kissed her neck. "Insane."
She shivered. Her hands roamed shyly over his body and felt the rappid beat of his heart under her hand. Gohan tugged down the straps of her dress and scraped his teeth against her bare neck. Videl arched towards him and he rolled her down onto the thick matress. Gohans hands scrammbled for the button on her dress. Soon the dress was down to her waist.
When he moved his mouth down she cried out his name. Gohan moved up again and kissed her hard and thoroughly.
"Mmmm," he said. "Videl, are you sure?"
Videl braced his face between he hands and looked straight into his eyes.
"Yes."

Later that night Gohan laid next to Videl, watching her sleep. He knew he had to leave earily in the morning, but he couldn't seem to sleep. Everytime he closed his eyes he was gripped with fear that when he opened them, she would be gone.
He held her tight against him. He will not let that happen. He showed her tonight through his actions how much he cared for her. As soon as he comes back from his mission he will make her his official mate. They would live together and she will bear his children.
Gohan kissed the top of her head. And he will always protect her.



Think that's the end? NOT BY A LONG SHOT!! More soon okey? Reveiw please!
