~Author's notes~ A lot of stories have all this crap about that they don't
own DBZ or anything. I'm assuming that you already know that I don't own
DBZ so I won't have to take space to just put crap. Thanks~
Chapter 2:
Videl landed outside of Capsule Corporation while Gohan was still doing his homework. She rang the bell. Bulma answered the door.
"Hello, I am Bulma, How may I help you?" Bulma said, thinking that this was just another saleswoman who has come to once again offer some business with Capsule Corporation.
"Hi! I'm Videl, Gohan's friend." Videl said "I was told he was here, may I see him?"
"Oh!" Bulma said, surprised "I didn't know that Gohan had a girlfriend yet! He's grown up right under my very nose and I hadn't seen it. I only saw him as that little boy who always smiled and was so cute!" She studied her, from her face to her clothing. "Well at least we can safely say that Gohan has very good taste in women."
Videl blushed. "Gohan and I are not an item!" Videl said, quickly "We're just friends."
"Uh huh! Yea ok" Bulma said, not buying that for a second "Gohan is too cute not to have a girlfriend by now, Come on in, I'll get Gohan."
Videl blushed again. She quickly followed Bulma to where she assumed Gohan was. She entered a living room. It was extremely decorated, just like her house. Purple drapes, plants, expensive furniture, the works.
"Please sit here" Bulma said, gesturing to one of the chairs that was in the living room "while I get Gohan."
"Thank you" Videl said, sitting down in the chair.
"No problem!" Bulma said as she left to find Gohan "Any friend of Gohan is a friend of mine, especially when my family and Gohan's family are practically one family!"
*I didn't know that Gohan knew Bulma so well! It seems that Bulma was his second mother." Videl thought as she waited impatiently for Gohan to come.
Bulma slowly walked to the lab that Gohan was in, working on his homework. *Oh Gohan! When did you become that teenager you are now? We REALLY need to spend more time together!* Bulma thought as she entered the lab.
Gohan was poring over his homework, but not really concentrating on it. He was concentrating on something else, or rather someone else. He thought about the kiss they almost shared together. *Videl…..* Gohan thought as he stared at his homework.
"Gohan" Bulma said softly, so not to startle him. But he jumped up anyway. Gohan relaxed visibly to see who it was and said
"Yes Bulma-san?"
"There is a girl in the living room to see you. Oh and how come you didn't tell me you had a girlfriend! You are so grown up!" Bulma said, still thinking about all the time she missed out on her second son.
Gohan blushed. "She's not my girlfriend! She's just a friend…. Who just happens to be a girl!" Gohan said quickly.
"Uh huh, did you know that she said the same thing? But your too handsome and she's too pretty for you guys not to be attracted to each other." Bulma said, knowingly, and leaving the lab to lead Gohan back to Videl.
Gohan blushed again and got up quickly to follow her. *What's Videl doing here?* Gohan thought, then remembered *Oh no! The TALK! She's got me cornered this time!* Gohan entered the living room with Bulma. He saw Videl brooding about something. *She looks so kawaii….* Gohan thought, then quickly blushed at the thought and dismissed it.
"Here he is Videl! Your future-to-be husband" Bulma said quickly leaving "I'll just leave you two alone shall I?"
Both Gohan and Videl blushed. "We're just frie…." They both started, then dropping it seeing that she was already out of earshot. They both turned around to look at each other.
"Hi Videl!" Gohan said, his usual cheerful self.
"Hello Gohan, sit down." Videl said, pointing to a chair across from her.
*Uh oh….* Gohan thought as he took the seat.
Not wasting any time, Videl launched herself into her questions.
"How do you fly?" Videl said, forcing herself to be calm and not excited about having Gohan here with her.
"Huh?" Gohan said, even though he heard her perfectly well
"You heard me" Videl said, her impatience once again flaring up.
"I can't fly! What are you talking about Videl?" Gohan said, though lowering his eyes from hers in a sure sign of guilt.
"I saw you flyng out of an alleyway and not only is that one of your oddities, but how did you also get so strong?" Videl said calmly, stating her reasons and questions.
*She saw me?! HOW?!* Gohan thought.
"Eh heh, well maybe you saw a bird or something, and I work out that's how I became so strong. You remember the spar we had don't you?"
"Of course, I whooped your butt. But I still don't buy your answers." Videl said, adamant on him telling the truth.
Gohan sighed. He decided that it would be better to tell her everything. *She would eventually find out anyway, she too good a investigator, better just to tell her the truth rather than elaborate the lies.* Gohan decided.
"Do you absolutely swear that you won't tell anyone about this?" Gohan said, looking at her with imploring eyes.
Videl sat back, surprised. *So he has finally decided that he would tell me the truth* Videl thought smirking *Good!*
"Yes" Videl said
Gohan started to explain things to her.
"I am not a human. I am half saiyajin and half human. Saiyajins are a super powerful warrior race. They look exactly like humans except their hair and their tail."
Videl burst out laughing.
"Gohan, you really think I will buy that cockamamie bull shit? Come on, tell me how you did that? Strings? Special effects?" Videl said, still laughing it all out.
Gohan was hurt. He was telling the truth but she didn't believe him.
"But Videl!" Gohan protested "I am really telling the truth!"
Videl was still chortling.
"Uh huh yea you expect me to believe that you are some super powerful being that comes from a different planet? Oh come on, and you don't even have a tail! Saiyajins are just probably a figment of your imagination. Saiyajins my ass!" Videl said
Gohan's eyes betrayed his hurt, but Videl was still laughing so she didn't notice. Suddenly a shadow approached them.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT WOMAN?! SAIYAJINS COULD HAVE CRUSHED YOUR ENTIRE HUMAN RACE IN A BLINK OF AN EYE!"
It was Vegeta.
Videl was instantly quiet, upon seeing the man. She had heard about this man, who was internationally feared. The man wore a blue spandex suit. It accentuated his every muscle. His bulging biceps couldn't have gotten any bigger. His eyes, so different from Gohan's totally innocent, honest eyes, were cold and hard. He stared at her, but then she remembered she was the daughter of the strongest man in the world. She drew herself up to her full height haughtily.
"And who the hell are you?" Videl asked, coldly
Vegeta also drew himself up to his full height, which wasn't much, but he was equally tall as Videl.
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH! You will address me as Prince Vegeta, and nothing else" Vegeta yelled, his eyes going to Gohan and glaring at him.
Gohan stepped in at this point.
"Let's go, Videl, I don't think you want to be here." Gohan said, putting his arm around her.
Videl suddenly felt very protected. She just felt so RIGHT in his arms. She wished that he would keep his arm around her forever, but then she remembered the situation she was in. Videl flung off Gohan's comforting arm.
"I can handle this stupid vegetable Gohan!" Videl shouted
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Vegeta said, drawing back his powerful arm to deliever a probably fatal blow to her.
Gohan moved quickly and caught Vegeta's wrist.
"Don't you even think about touching her!" Gohan said in his ear.
Vegeta snorted and pulled his arm out of Gohan's arm.
"This should have been your fate woman" Vegeta said, while punching a wall.
The wall completely crumbled. Videl could see right through it, into the other room. Metal crumpled at Vegeta's feet and he strode through the hole he had just created.
*Probably went to the gravity room* Gohan thought as he turned back to face Videl.
Videl was still staring at the hole which Vegeta went through. Gohan thought she looked a little distraught. Slowly, he took her hand in his and looked at her.
"Are you okay Videl?" Gohan asked softly.
Videl's head snapped up and looked into a pair of imploring eyes. She felt her hands, trapped in Gohan's hands.
"Yes…" she managed to croak out, before fainting.
Gohan swiftly caught her.
"Videl? VIDEL?" Gohan panicked, shaking her. *This was too much for her! Damn you Vegeta!* Gohan thought *Maybe Bulma can help!* He raced to get Bulma, locking onto her ki and running there as fast as he can.
She was in a lab. Gohan burst through the door.
"Gohan!" Bulma said, surprised "What is it?"
"Videl! She fainted!" Gohan spilled.
"WHAT?!" Bulma said quickly getting up and following Gohan to Videl.
Upon reaching Videl, Bulma bent down to examine her.
"I can't seem to find the source of sudden loss of consciousness." Bulma said, confused " it would be good just to get her to bed." Gohan nodded and picked her up. Bulma led the way to one of the guest rooms. Gohan put her down on the bed.
*Look at him* Bulma thought *He's so kind and caring, I can tell he really likes Videl.*
"Do you think that we should call her parents?" Bulma asked Gohan
"Yes, that would be for the best." Gohan decided
Bulma got the cordless phone and handed it to Gohan. Then Gohan just realized something.
He didn't know Videl's phone number.
"Um, actually, maybe it would be better for her to stay here for a while. Her dad would probably have a heart attack if he found out about her fainting." Gohan muttered
Bulma laughed. "Well well, I know someone like that." Bulma's eyes twinkled "Who is her father?"
"Hercule Satan" Gohan said under his breath. Bulma fell down, anime style.
"WHAT?" She said as she got up "No way!" Gohan still had his eyes glued to Videl's face.
"You are the boyfriend of the girl who's father stole the credit from your best victory ever?" Bulma said, astounded.
"You don't have to rub it in! and I am not her boyfriend!" Gohan said, annoyed.
"Uh huh, whatever." Bulma thought a minute "Would you like to stay here and watch her to see if she gets any better?"
"YES!" Gohan answered quickly. Bulma smirked.
*Only more proof that she and Gohan like each other a lot." Bulma thought
"Better call your mom then."
"Great idea." Gohan said, quickly picking up the phone and dialing his home phone number. His mom picked up.
"Hello?" Chichi said
"Hi mom! Its me! Can Goten and I stay over at Capsule Corporation tonight?" Gohan said
"ABSOLUTELY NOT YOUNG MAN! IT IS A SCHOOL NIGHT!" Chichi yelled into the phone.
Gohan winced. He had been afraid of this. How was he going to convince his mother now?
Bulma took the phone out of Gohan's hands.
"Chichi? This is Bulma. Gohan is helping me on a VERY important experiment. I will make sure he gets to his high school in time, after all, we are closer to Orange Star High School than you are." Bulma said smoothly
Chichi seemed to consider for some time. "All right, make sure he studies and make sure that he is on time for school!" Chichi hung up
Gohan felt waves upon waves of relief. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to watch over Videl…. Wait a minute…. Why would he want to? They were not together! Gohan reminded himself. Still, it would only be gentlemanlike to help her Gohan reasoned with himself.
"Thanks" Gohan said to Bulma, relief evident on his face.
Bulma smirked a smirk that would make Vegeta jealous.
"No problem, I know how much you wanted to watch over her." Bulma said, walking out.
Gohan blushed, despite the fact that he was alone. Well, alone with a unconscious person anyway.
Gohan pulled a chair out for himself. His eyes traveled over her body, still thinking Vegeta had been too hard on her. His eyes locked onto her sleeping, beautiful face. Serene and lovely. She was the object of his desires. Smart and Beautiful, a warrior like his mother was. Her lips were pulled into a almost smile and her small nose took in small amounts of air. Her eyes, though hidden from him by her eye lids, were, he imagined, beautiful. The ocean itself was in her eyes. She was serene like the ocean. Her face was the ideal definition of peaceful. Her hair, that were in ponytails, were undone. Her hair blew over her face with just the smallest puff of wind. He liked it like that, without the ponytails. Her eyelashes, black, like her hair, seemed to fit her perfectly. In fact, everything about her was perfect he thought.
Gohan leaned in to push the strand of hair that blew in her face out of the way. The chair tipped over, sending him crashing next to her. His arm was thrown over her. But he didn't get up. Instead, he put both arms around her sleeping form and held her tightly in his arms. She just felt so right in his arms. She seemed so fragile, like she needed him to protect her even though he knew she was one of the strongest humans. She was so small and slender. Her breath tickled his chest and he pulled her even closer to him. He thought about the kiss they almost shared.
*I think its time I got that kiss that I wanted* Gohan thought as he lowered his head. He tipped her smooth chin up and slowly descended to explore her mouth.
But he never got that far.
Videl's eyelids suddenly snapped open. She saw Gohan's lips coming near her. She instantly sat up, rolled out of the bed, and got into a fighting stance.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?" Videl shouted
Gohan hung his head, also getting up.
"I, um… er…" Gohan stammered
Videl glared at him but on the inside she felt regret as she rolled out of his arms. *Why did I stop him? I want…. NO VIDEL! THOSE AREN'T HEALTHY THOUGHTS! ITS JUST HORMONES! And besides, he can get any girl he ever wants…" Videl thought bitterly.
Gohan stared at the floor, hoping that she wouldn't know what he had planned to kiss her. He wanted Videl, hell, who wouldn't? Suddenly, he struck on an idea.
"I was just checking to see if you were okay!" Gohan said quickly, hoping that she would buy it.
She bought it. She thought bitterly *Why would anyone want someone as ugly as I am* although she was constantly told of how beautiful she was. Even if she was beautiful, she couldn't compare to Gohan's perfectly toned body she thought.
"Oh…." Videl said, although a little regretfully " Thanks, I'm sorry I acted like that."
Gohan's head snapped up. Wait a minute… did he read a tiny amount of regret in her eyes? Gohan shrugged it off but it was still on his mind.
"Um I think your dad is worrying about you, you had better get home." Gohan said softly.
Videl's head also snapped up. Thoughts of Gohan instantly turned into thoughts of anxiety. *Oh crap! How am I going to get out of this one? My dad will kill me for sure!* Videl yelped, and scrambled out of Capsule Corporation as fast as she could go. She took off without even saying good bye in her helicopter she got out of her capsule. In midair, she remembered Vegeta and what Gohan said. She thought Gohan must be the worst liar in the world because of his totally honest appearance. But then she wasn't so sure of herself now that she had time to think about Vegeta punching a hole in the wall.
*Not even dad could do that…* Videl thought.
