Ok well I know, I said Friday's right? Lol well I was really busy so at least you know it will be posted on weekends. Okay there I think that covers me.

"Videl I can't sleep. I had a bad dream, can I sleep with you?" She opened her eyes to reveal a quivering Goten. He looked so upset that she nodded and he climbed into the bed next to her. "Thank you Videl, good night."

"Good night Goten."

A few minuets passed and then she heard, "Videl, I can't sleep. Wanna play a game?" She was tired but in a way felt as if she owed him for cheering her up that afternoon.

"Okay but only a few games, its late." He nodded and set up a game of Go Fish. They played about 3 games before Videl had to tell Goten that she was really tired.

"Umm can I still stay here tonight?" She nodded and pulled back the blanket so he could crawl in. "Good night Videl, you're the best. I hope Gohan does marry you like he wants to." Goten said sleepily letting his eyelids shut. Videl blushed slightly at the thought and let a smile appear on her face as she dozed off.

That night though, Videl was tossing and turning. Little pieces of the incident kept coming back to her. Each piece more graphic to her as her memory seemed to push through the obstacle that had been holding her back from remembering. Every now and then she let out small yelps of pain or fear. She was running out the door, but someone had bumped her. Who? A cape was thrown over her eyes. Saiyaman. He saved her! The knife, the man, the wall. She could remember that. But hadn't Gohan said he had found her on the sidewalk? Her eyes snapped open. Did Saiyaman give her to Gohan? No he had said he was going to take her home with him. Yes, it all seemed clear now. Gohan must have thought she would be to traumatized to remember. A small smile appeared on her face. So Gohan had a secret eh? She lay her head back on the pillow, closing her eyes and trying to think of a way to get Gohan to confess.

She woke up the next morning and went downstairs. She was greeted Chi Chi who was making lunch. Lunch? Videl glared at the clock, 1:32. "Oh my gosh, I slept quite a bit eh?" she said with a laugh.

"Yea, I've been waiting for you to get up. I wanted someone to play with and you promised. I was gonna wake you up but my mom stopped me and told me to stop bothering you." Goten said staring at his hands as brought them back and forth at his sides.

"I will play with you, but first I have to find Gohan." Videl responded. Chi Chi looked up.

"He's at school. It's a Monday remember?" Goten said perking up at the fact that he would finally get someone to play with.

"Oh yeah, I really shouldn't miss to much school huh?" Videl excused herself and went to Chi Chi's room to change. More clothes she borrowed. It was surprising how nice Chi Chi was being to her. When Videl had met her the first time she had come out to his house to tutor Gohan, she was a harpy. All she did was keep checking up on them to be sure that Videl wasn't putting moves on her baby. But lately, she was so nice, giving comfort and warmth to her. How did she know anyways? Yes, just another fact that she could use to trap Gohan into the truth. While doing her hair, Videl noticed that the bruise seemed larger. Hoping it was just her imagination, she splashed water on her face to wake up and walked out of the bathroom.

When she got back to the kitchen she was greeted again by Goten.

"So what do you want to play?" She asked him.

"Well I was thinking maybe we could spar or something, its my favorite game to play with Gohan." Goten said innocently grinning. Videl tried hard not to show the fear growing inside her. She didn't know why she was afraid. He was a kid! Plus she was a fighter, daughter of Mr. Satan. But recently she felt like she couldn't even defend against the wind. "Umm Goten, I don't really feel well enough to spar. I'm sorry." Goten's face fell in disappointment as the words left her lips. Truth was, Videl didn't think she would ever feel well enough to spar again.

It was about five when Gohan arrived home. Videl greeted him with a wave as she struggled to balance a basket of laundry on her hip. After playing card games and such with Goten for a bit she had gone on help Chi Chi with chores to show her gratitude. To Gohan she looked like an angel beckoning him into Heaven, enticing him with every sway of her hips. She sat on the couch in the living room and began folding clothes, Gohan followed like his mind was no longer his own. He knew Videl was beautiful and wonderful, but today she just seemed more special than anything else. As Videl neared the bottom of the basket though, she ran into underwear. Gohan blushed as she pulled out a pair of white underwear with a teddy bear on it. Gohan mentally slapped himself for keeping those. Videl chuckled as she folded those but then stopped as she picked up a pair of boxers.

"What's wrong?" He asked her.

"Well I don't know how you like your boxers folded." She said, blush staining her cheeks.

"Umm I can take care of those."

"Okay thanks." She said getting up with a large pile of towels and disappearing around the corner. A minuet later though her head reappeared around the corner. "When you're done I need to talk to you." She said, and in a moment her, and the laundry pile she had been holding, were gone. Thinking of a million things she could want to talk about, he quickly finished and went in search of her.

Okay well sorry for the long delay. But I had 2 busy weekends in a row and basically house cleaning. Blarg. So anyways there is good news! I am looking for a beta reader.
