Warning: Sorry, this chapter is VERY angsty, so please don't kill me if you cry. Okay? To tell you the truth, the next few chapters will be sad...sorry 'bout that!

Gohan is a low-level saiyan rising in the ranks. One mission to destroy a planet he falls head over heels...for a human. What can this girl do to his dignity? Or to his heart? Will it cause him to fall off the charts?

Descending

*~* Chapter Nineteen *~*

Falling...

Spring time reached the planet of Vegetasei in a matter of months. After the cold holidays, Videl could get used to the hot weather. That until, Goten told her the truth of saiyan summers. "It gets REAL hot," she remembered him saying. "Sometimes you see some kid's toys melting. But it's the kind of heat that Dad and Gohan like to train in. It makes them sweat more, I guess..."

Great. Perfect. Now she was going to be caught in a giant heat wave. First it got so cold that she would be frozen stiff and Gohan would have to unfreeze her with his energy. Now she would be melting when she went to the weekly market ever weekend. Life was just wonderful...to some people.

Videl began to notice that Riokko came over a lot more than she did. And the strange thing was, Gohan didn't seem to mind. In fact, Gohan didn't even seem to notice. Videl wondered how he could do that since she hung all over him where ever he tried to go. But he didn't notice.

To tell the truth, Gohan and Videl barley spoke after their little 'incedent'. That kiss was an accedeint...but did he want it to be? HE was the one who started to touch her hand, and HE was the one who started to kiss her. But on the other hand, she was the one who started to take care of him when his fever broke. Which seemed to come back again ever so often. But he never told her. If she knew better, Videl would have said he was avoiding her.

With the occasional, "Hey", and "Good mornings", there was nothing more to be said between them. Their eyes said it all when they looked at each other. Videl didn't know why, but suddenly she felt awful. She was just getting accepted on Vegetasei, and here was Gohan, making her feel like a complete stranger. He was more kind and less cold when she first BECAME his slave. What was going on in his mind?

Something she couldn't ever know, was for sure. She longed for conversations with him. She wanted to be his friend again. Or what ever she was before. Now she was only his 'slave'. Not Videl, his friend. Just his slave. Not even on his first name basis.

Goten was right. It WAS hot. She felt herself melting in her own room, listning to Gohan and his friends joke around. Sometimes she'd go out to get herself something to drink and ask them if they wanted something. Some of them say yes, others no. Gohan didn't speak. He didn't even reconigze her coming into the room. He just stared blankly at the wall. After she had went back to her room, she didn't hear Gohan talking, laughing and joking around. He was silent.

She had made him laugh so easily. It was hillarious how he was so prone to laughter. "So what was this PMS thing you were telling me about?" he said a few weeks ago.

"Well," she had said, "it was the answer to everything for one of my friends. He was an idiot." He grinned at the thought of Sharpener, Erasa and herself all sitting on her bed. Erasa and Sharpener there to comfort her when she was sick. She frowned suddenly relizing they weren't alive any more. [a/n: not that sharpener matters...]

"I'm sorry Videl. I forgot about that. I'm so sorry." He gave her a tissue. "I didn't mean for you to have bad memories." He wiped her tears away, and grinned at her. "All better?"

She nodded, and sniffed. "Yes, thank you."

"So what does it mean?"

"What does what mean?"

"PMS."

Videl smiled. "Oh. Well, what my friend always called it was 'Personal Man Slaughter'." She laughed. "Well, I guess he doesn't have to worry about that kind of stuff anymore, now does he?"

"No, he doesn't Videl." He swept bangs from her eyes. "Go to sleep. It's late. I'll see you in the morning." She leaned her head against his chest, falling asleep to the beats of his heart.

Videl smiled at that memory. He didn't mean to bring back memories, but he was. Because he wasn't talking to her. And because he wasn't talking to her, meant she and him couldn't have any more good memories, so she had to remember all of them. So why was she on the verge of crying?

She crept into her room that night, pulling the sheets full over her body. Why did her heart speed up when ever he looked at her? Why was this happening to her? She sobbed into her pillow. Before drifting off into sleep, she whispered, "Why me?"

*~*

Somehow, Gohan didn't think he could last another day. Damn it, why wasn't she slapping him, or bickering at him like she used to. And why all of a sudden did he come out of his day dreams and Riokko was purring in his ear? It was sickening, revolting, and freighting-all at once.

He knew she was scared. Why else would she be avoiding him? Damn that stupid fever. It started this whole thing. If he hadn't gotten sick, then Videl wouldn't have taken care of him, and then he wouldn't have been curious.

Remus was talking to him, blabbing on an on about something about the King. He must have answered respectively when he had to, but when it came to repeat what Remus had said, Gohan couldn't. He was too wrapped up in his thoughts of Videl.

Good god, he wanted to be near her so badly. When ever their eyes met his heart sped up a hundred times faster, and he thought he would throw it up sometimes to get it out of him. He didn't need a heart. Why was his father constantly pressuring him? He knew the full moon was approaching. It happened in August, every year, the full moon, or the Saiyan Moon came out and it was when young males mated with young females. It wasn't any type of festival...but it was enough to add pressure. And when the saiyans didn't mate, they went through horrible hormonal changes. Gohan went through two already from the lack of mating for two years. He didn't want to go through another.

All of a sudden he felt a sudden jerk in his chest. A pain. Videl... He had to go see her. He just knew something was wrong. He didn't know what, but something was.

He stood up, much to Remus' dismay. "I'm sorry Remus, I have to go home. Tell me more about this later." He smiled, and rubbed his neck from the lack of stretching. Remus had pulled him out of bed way to early, and he had missed his morning spare with his father. Goku wouldn't be happy about that...

He walked straight into the apartment, started looking frantically for Videl. He tossed his scouter on the couch and walked into the kitchen where she was cooking his meal.

She didn't say anything at first, but a soft whisper escaped her lips. "Dinner's almost ready." She started to say things to herself. She appeared to be calming herself...but why? Gohan adored their moving shape. She used her hand to warm the meat. He blessed her hands.

What was he talking about? Belssing hands? Was he going crazy? But the real crazy part of it was, if he had a chance to re-do any of it, he wouldn't. He was half happy he kissed her.

His fever went down over the days, and was very glad. He couldn't stand being that close to Videl without being able to touch her. Feel her lips pressing against his again.

What nonsense was he thinking?

If the King ever knew what he was thinking, or what he wanted to do to Videl that very moment, let's just say the odds wouldn't be good at all.

Gohan cleared his throat, and she looked up, wearing a forced smile. "Hi," he said.

She flushed slightly. It'd been so long since they had a conversation. It was going to be strange. "Hey." She pushed the eight or some meats onto the plate and smiled at him warmly. "Eat up."

He bent over his plate drooling. He was about to shove the first piece in his mouth when he realized she was watching him. He looked up. His eyes met hers. She blushed and looked at the table. "Aren't you going to eat?"

She shook her head. "I'm not hungry."

Gohan grinned, and shook his head. Her stubbornness was rubbing off onto him. He tore a small portion of his lamb steak, and took her hand. He placed the meat in her palm, and smiled before saying, "Eat this. For me."

Videl couldn't help the tingles that she was getting when he touched her skin. She pulled her hand away from his, and couldn't help but see Gohan stare at his hand for a moment, moving his fingers and shaking it.

She nibbled on the meat as she watched him dig in. He was finished with all eight pieces before she was done with her first. Gohan wiped his mouth with his napkin, and caught her eye again. "Videl, is there something wrong?" He put a hand on her forehead, mimicking what she had done to him. She wasn't burning. She most defiantly didn't have a fever, but the way she was so pale, he knew something was wrong. Her ivory complexion had tuned ghastly white.

"Nothing's wrong Gohan." Sdhe yawned and smile at him. "I'm just so tired. Can you blame me? Goten wore me out yesterday." She stood up and stretched. "Well, it's late. I'm off to bed. Good night, Gohan. See you in the morning."

"Good night Videl." Gohan rubbed his chin before walking into his own room. He past Videl's room and had the biggest urge to break down the door and kiss her sensless...but he wouldn't. He knew how to control himself. He'd done it before, he'd do it now.

He shut his door, locking it, to double check himself. He didn't want to sleep walk, bump into Videl, and end up doing something they'd both regret. And besides, it was against the law. Very against the law to mate out of your own species. Even though saiyan men had done it before, none of them escaped serious punishment.

Gohan didn't see a difference as he sat down on his bed. He pulled his armor off his body and started to slowly peel off the spandex. Videl was the same...all she was missing was a tail. That's all. Gohan sighed heavily, resting back his aching body from training with Remus. He looked out his window at the stars and smiled. Some reason, the stars reminded him of Videl. The stars in her eyes. He closed his eyes, pulling the sheets higher on him, before drifting off into a peacefull slumber.

*~*

Gohan awoke too early the next morning. He looked at the small saiyan clock on his bed. 2:59? Ho could it bee so early? He was too tired to be waking up early. Then he heard it. It was soft, but his sensitive saiyan hearing picked it up easier. Soft, quiet sobs rang through the house.

Gohan stood out of bed, pulling his pants back on, before walking out. The hall was so quiet except the sobbing that grew louder with each wail. He stopped at Videl's door and knocked softly. "Videl?" he asked soflty.

He heard a loud thud. He must have scared her. He heard her sniff and the russling of sheets before he heard her whisper something. This, he couldn't hear. "Videl, can I come in?"

"Yes," she croaked. His voice was so raspy. He entered and smiled to see her huddled under the covers, her face red and blotchy. "What's wrong, Gohan?"

"I should be asking you that." He reached out and gave her another tissue. "What's wrong? Videl, please tell me. It's me, Gohan. You can tell me anything."

She took the tissue and blew her nose. He wiped her eyes, but more tears insisted on flowing out. She looked at him. "Why are you up?"

"Why are you crying?"

She sighed. "Nothing's wrong. I just realized that I'll never see Erasa, or Sharpener[an: yuck!] or my dad ever again. That I'm going to live here forever."

"I know, Videl. It's hard for you-"

"NO!" she snapped, tears burning her cheeks. "You don't have any idea what it's like! You've never been kidnapped and taken to some alien planet before, have you??!!" Gohan fell silent. "That's what I thought. Gohan, think about what you say next time. Say things you mean, not things you're just saying to make people feeling better.

"You'll never know what it's like. Being alone, will you? No, you won't. You have a mother, a father, friends...everything I left behind. Everything you took away from me." She wiped another tear away. "Come on Gohan! Face the facts! Nobody thinks I should be here! But now I have no other place to go! You took everything away from me, Gohan! And now it can never come back. Never." She burst.

Gohan wrapped his arms around her and let her cry onto his bare chest. He could feel her warm tears sliding down his skin. "Shh, don't worry Videl. No matter what, you'll be fine. Everything will be fine."

He looked down at her, and smiled when he saw she had stopped crying. Besides the fact that his chest was soaked with tears didn't really bother him. He cupped her chin and wiped stranded tears away from her cheeks. He knew what was going to happen at the persice moment. So why didn't he try to stop it from happening?

He kissed her again. Damn it, why did it feel so good? This felt so...so right. It wasn't anything like the other kiss they had. That was passionate. This felt different. He was kissing in a different way. With tenderness.

Her hands began to roam around his chest, then finally getting caught in his spikey hair. She pulled him to deepen the kiss. Gohan's hands began to pull off Videl's shirt, and tossing it to the other side of the room. He took a step back to look to look at her. She was...beautiful. There were no words to describe how she looked at that moment or how she was looking at him.

The two kissed again, Gohan this time leaving a trail of sweet kisses down her neck and collar bone. He kissed down to her chest, and slowly started to pull off her pants. [a/n: heh, this sounds soooo freaky...eh?] He tossed those with her shirt.

Videl's hands slowly started to pull of his own pants, and the kissed again. There was something in his eyes, Videl noted. She was still in a state of shock of Gohan's kisses. It was almost as if he was treating her differently than the other night. Tonight, he was treating her with...tenderness.

Videl had never been touched that way before. In fact, she'd never been touched any way the way Gohan was touching her right then. She felt on fire, and wanted nothing more than for Gohan to just take her. But he was caressing her so easily, and so carefully, enjoying every gasp and maon he earned from her mouth.

There was nothing wrong about it. Nothing to them. It felt so right to be wrong. But this wasn't wrong...actually, they both knew it was, but they wouldn't stop it. If they had, they wouldn't have already lost all their clothes.

Gohan broke apart from Videl to get air. They were both breathing heavily, panting and looking at each other. Gohan kissed her again and set himself at her entrance. "Videl? Are you ready?"

She nodded. Gohan gently pushed his way into her. She yelled in pain. Gohan tried to shut it out, knowing he was the one causing it. But when he tried to pull out of her, Videl wrapped her legs tightly around his waist.

"No, please, keep going Gohan. The pains stopping now." She held in her breath as Gohan have one mighty thrust up, and felt a sharp pain explode inside of her. It subsided quickly with pleasure.

Gohan kept going in and out, faster and faster, keeping in his own rhythm. Videl met his rhythm and dug her nails into his shoulders. "G-G-Gohan...I-I can't h-hold i-it..."

Gohan felt her release, causing his own climax. He bent down to her shoulder and began to suck gently like he did before. Videl moaned softly. He traced his fangs lightly on the sensitive skin, before pushing them in. He sank his teeth into her soft flesh earning a yelp from her. She reached up to his own right shoulder and tried to sink her own teeth into his shoulder.

TO her surprise, they broke the skin.

Her bite didn't go as deep as Gohan's did, but he had an advantage with his fangs. Gohan pulled his neck away from her mouth. He began to lick her wound, feeling his own mark he made with his fangs. He tasted her blood. Sweet yet sour at the same time.

Videl tasted his blood. Bile, and sourness. But it tasted good. Gohan pushed his neck against Videl's and felt their blood mixing. Gohan collapsed on top of her. He rolled off of Videl, not wanting to crush her with his body weight.

He finally mated. If only his mother could see him now! Videl cuddled up against him. They hadn't spoke a word while they were making love. Her hands found his tail. She began to slightly rub the end of it with her index finger. Gohan rolled his head back and purred softly. As she began to rub harder, he purred louder.

Eventually she fell asleep with the sound of his purring. Gohan looked down at her, and smiled slightly. He pulled her on top of his chest and buried his head into her raven hair. He nuzzled her neck, then whispered quietly, so only she could hear:

"Don't worry, Videl. You're not alone anymore."

A/N: WAAAAAH!!!!!! *sighs* Don't mind me. I thought that was my best non-graphic lemon! YAH! It wasn't very long, but oh well. Sorry about the wait! I had to make this chapter a little sad, sorry about that. But hey, it's worth it! Please tell me! Sorry if it was a little short!!

Sorry for the rude comments about Sharpener. If you like him, read my fic the Matchmakers. He plays a good role in there. Only because he and Erasa are dating. OH WELL!! ^_^

I have my first G/V shrine up! It's called Falling For You. It's super sweet, I think, and you should go look at it! Yah! Bye! Ja ne!

Don't forget to R/R!
