Disclaimer: On a full moon, I shall become Oozaru and take over Japan! Then I will own DBZ HAHAHAHAHA!

I'm kidding. I don't own it.

If you need a excellent fic to read after reading this chapter, go read "Lost Kin" By Okami. It is an incredible story, and is far greater than mine. It has less than 10 reviews, and deserves a lot more attention than it is getting. I strongly, no I INSIST that you read it. You won't be sorry that you read it. The story line is incredible, and the writing is excellent, and is a lot better than my writing.

This might be the last chapter, this might not be. You'll just have to read and see! ^_^

Chapter 14: School, and the Mysterious Person.

   Videl listened to the alarm clock go off. How she hated that cursed thing. She cracked her eyes opened, hit the snooze button, and went back to sleep. A few minutes later she heard it screech again. This time she slammed it onto the ground, shattering it into tiny pieces. She soon heard a knock on the door. She took her pillow and slammed it over her head. "Go away." She said in a muffled voice. She listened as the door slowly opened and closed.

   "Videl, honey. Wake up, you need to go to school."

   Videl took the pillow off her head and rubbed her eyes. She was still clutching onto the picture of her and Saiya-man. "Dad? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at that meeting by now?"

   "I was just on my way out and I heard something up here. I came to check up on you." He looked down at the ground. "I see you broke another alarm clock. You really hate those things, don't you?"

   "What teenager doesn't?"

   Mr. Satan chuckled. "I guess you have a point there." He looked at the picture she was holding. "I see you found that on your desk. Thought you might have liked it." He smiled at her. Videl shrugged and put in on the bed.

   "Videl, something's wrong. What is it?"

   "Nothing dad. Nothing is wrong." Videl said, trying to sound as convincing as possible.

   "I know that's not true. I heard about that Son Gohan. He was a friend of yours, wasn't he?"

   Videl nodded.

   "I'm sorry Videl." He pulled her into his arms and hugged her. "I never told you how happy I was when you came home. I was so worried."

   Videl looked up at him. "You were?" She sounded surprised.

   "Of course. I know you run away from time to time, but you're usually back the next day. When you didn't come home, I thought something happened to you. I don't want to lose you like I lost your mother. I wouldn't be able to live with it."

   Videl looked at her father with wide eyes.

   "I love you Videl. Now get ready for school. You have five minutes or you'll be late." He hugged her tightly, and then let her go.

   "I love you too, Dad." She watched Mr. Satan walk out of the room, and closed the door.

   Videl slowly got up form her bed and walked over to her dresser. She pulled out the usual gray shirt and black biking shorts. She quickly pulled them on, and ran a brush through her hair. She put her hair into two neat ponytails. She then grabbed her backpack and headed to school. She knew she was going to be late.

   The secretary looked up from her desk at Videl. "Hey Videl. Need a note for the usual?"

    "Nope. I overslept."

   The secretary looked at her in surprise "What? You never oversleep."

   "Well, I did today. Can I have my note?" Videl snapped back at the Secretary. She then shook her head. "I'm sorry Ms. Murasaki. I'm just in a bad mood today, that's all."

   Ms. Murasaki handed Videl the note. "I know it's because of Gohan. I noticed that you two were getting quite close there and…" Ms. Murasaki cut herself off when she noticed that Videl was blushing. "I'm sorry Videl. Go to class now, okay? And no more pulling off what you did yesterday. Everyone knows that you cut class. It's not like you at all."

   "I know. Thank you." Videl waved, and walked out of the office.

   "Ah, Miss Satan, you decided to join us today. Care to explain why you and Eraisa decided to cut class yesterday?"

   "Well…I…" Videl tried to desperately think up an explanation.

   "There was trouble out in the city, Mrs. Armada, and Videl and I went to stop the crooks" Eraisa blurted out.

   "But you don't fight crime Eraisa. Why would you go with her?"

   Eraisa gulped. "Because Videl taught me some basic martial arts. She said that no woman should go without knowing the basics, just in case she's in trouble. We both thought it would be a good time to test out my skill."

   Mrs. Armada eyed Eraisa suspiciously. "All right. Videl, go sit down. We need to get on with this class."

   Videl went and sat down in her usual seat next to Eraisa. "Thanks. I owe you one."

   "No problem Videl. That's what best friends are for." Eraisa said, smiling back at Videl. Videl sunk into her seat, and tuned out for the rest of class. It would be a long day…

   Videl opened the door to her house. "Dad, I'm going to go out for a bit. I probably won't be home until after dark." She screamed, so her father could hear her.

   "Fine Videl! Just don't get yourself lost, and stay away from any suspicious looking people." He screamed back. Videl quickly stepped outside and closed the door. She lifted herself into the air, and took off.

   She landed a couple miles outside the city near some woods. Videl slowly walked onto a trail that Gohan had one time showed her. She didn't know where it came out, because he never got the chance to show her. She slowly walked down the trail and looked at the scenery, while being consumed in her own thoughts.

   "Why me?" She thought to herself. "Why am I the one who had to be kidnapped by a mad scientist who wanted revenge on Goku? Why did I have to get beaten when what was going on wasn't my problem? Why did I have to like the strongest person in the world?" Videl paused for a moment. She thought she heard something in the trees. When she heard nothing else, she shrugged and continued to walk. "Why did I have to cause his death? Why am I the one who had to fall in love with him?" She slowed down even more, hearing the noise again. She stopped, and got into fighting stance. "Has to be Goten or Trunks. They're the only other ones that know that this trail exists."  

   "All right Goten and Trunks! I know it's you! Come out!"

   No reply.

   "Come on guys! I'm not in the mood for games, come out now before I have to find you and beat both of your faces in." She knew the threat was a harmless one. They all knew she didn't stand a chance against anyone in the Son/Briefs family. Then she heard someone call her name.

   "Videl" The voice came from the trees.

   "Stop changing your voice Trunks! I know it's you. Stop it!"

   "Videl" The voice sounded farther away. She followed it.

   "Trunks? Goten? Seriously, come out. You're starting to scare me." She looked around. She heard some leaves ruffle. She looked up and saw a figure darting through the trees. It was too big to be either Trunks or Goten. She bolted down after it.

   "Whoever that its, I'm going to kill you when I find you! You chose a bad time to bother me!" She screamed, trying to keep up with the thing.

   "Videl" The creature said again. Videl took a sharp right, and continued running.

   "Videl, when you get to the opening, go over to the flat rock." The voice said. Videl kept on running after it. It moved quickly, and Videl had trouble keeping up. Soon she came out to the opening. She stopped to catch her breath for a moment. She looked at the scenery. It almost took her breath away. The moon was full that night, and it lit up the sky. The sky was cloudless, and every star shone through. They lit up the place. It looked magical, like it was from a movie. She felt a calmness come over her as she looked at the scenery. There was a large lake, with a waterfall at the far end. The water sparkled in the night, and reflected the moon and the stars perfectly. She saw a star shoot across the sky.

   "I wish for Gohan to come back." She said to herself. She looked around some more and found the rock that the voice was talking about. It was more like a boulder. The trees went right up to it, as if they told her to go stand there. She had nothing better to do but listen to the voice's instructions. She went and climbed up onto the boulder. She stood, and looked up at the stars to search out constellations.

   Suddenly, something jumped out of the trees at her. Before she could react, the creature pulled her down to the ground. She hit the ground softly, with the creature was next to her. It's face was propped up with one arm, looking at her. Videl stood up and brushed herself off. The creature did the same.

   "Who the hell are you, and what do you want?" She demanded, readying herself for a possible battle.

   "Videl…It's me" It reached out to her.

   Videl kicked at the figure. "Let go off me! I don't want to go back! Leave me alone!" She attempted to punch the person, but he seemed to be unfazed. She tried everything, and none of it worked. The person grabbed her around the waist.

   "Look at me, Videl." The person brought himself out into the light.

   Videl slowly looked up at the person and locked eyes. She stood speechless, as tears formed in her eyes.

   "Oh…my…god…"

Tee hee! I am SO evil. I love leaving cliffhangers. I'm trying to stretch this as far as possible. I don't want to be finished with this story. I love it so much. Besides, once I'm finished with this, the reviews will slow down, and I don't want the reviews to slow down. I worked so hard, and it took me so long to get them. ^_^ You'll just have to wait for the next chapter, which will hopefully  not(but probably will…wait, I've been saying that for the last 2 or 3 chapters…) be the last!

Make sure you read "Last Kin" by Okami. I'm telling you it's amazing. Next time I check up on that fic, I want to see the same names in there that I see in my reviews.

Oh, and Okami puts up quotes before every chapter. I'm not sure if they relate to the chapters or not, but read them carefully. You can learn something from them.

I don't advertise fics in my stories that often, but I really liked this. I advertised it at the beginning of the chapter, now I'm doing it at the end. I'm serious about this story. Go read it NOW!
