With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibilities

Written by the somewhat infamous Goku's Daughter

Chapter 3: Complicity 

I love you.
I love every little thing about you
Your sexy smile, the sound of your voice,
The magic in your eyes.
I love your gentle touch
And the warmth I feel at your side
I love dreaming about you.
I love discovering you and letting go with you.
I love each and every
Once-in-a-lifetime moment I share with you...
Today...tomorrow...forever…

            "God, this guy is a maniac," Gohan thought to himself as he battled with the mask villain one on one. "Does he even think he has a chance, I mean he may be an evil genius who produces such mechanical crap to enhance himself, but he isn't Saiyan—or an Alien for that matter."

            Gohan easily dodged another attack from this mask villain, noticing he was giving everything he got at Saiyaman.

            "Die Saiyaman, die!" he roared with an evil cackle.

            Gohan sweat dropped as he counter his own weaponry attack at him. The blade stabbed him right back into his heart.

            Gohan's heart stopped for a moment, realizing he had just killed someone. This guy was a maniac—it was a good thing that he was gone…right? Besides it was his responsibility to get rid of these men tainted with the devil's blood.

            Saiyaman squatted beside this mask villain, studying him for only a second as he pulled off his mask. He almost gasped. "Sharpener's father…" Saiyaman quickly covered Sharpener's father's face, and picked him up. He'd have to return the body to the household.

            He flown in a matter of moments, and found a window that was opened. Quietly as he possibly can he found this villain's room and laid him on the bed.

            As if on cue someone opened the door. It was Sharpener. He switched on the light, hoping to find his father. Instead he found his father's lifeless body and Saiayman… It didn't take him long to put two and two together—Saiyaman killed my father! He gasped, becoming petrified and panicking. "You…you!" He looked pale as he studied his father's lifeless form. He pointed at Saiyaman. "You killed my father!!"

            Gohan watched one of his good friends go insane. He dare not say anything.

            "You will pay Saiyaman! I will kill you!" Sharpener screeched many different profanities at Saiyaman as he flew out of his window, leaving Sharpener swallowing in his grief and hate. Oh boy, what did he get himself into?

*-*-*-*-*-*

               Gohan strolled in the graveyard, hands casually tucked in his black pants' pockets. He had never seen someone go so hysterical in his life. Okay maybe he was worse when his father died. Did his father hate him so much that he didn't want to come back? Did he hate him so much that he wanted his son to grief on this planet…alone…and feel guilty what happened? It hurt so much when he'd see his mother cry over his father, thinking just maybe, if he wasn't engulfed in is pride, things could have been different. He and his younger brother wouldn't have been deprived of a father. Maybe Gohan deserved it, but defiantly not Goten. In his eyes, Goten was the innocent one—an innocent bystander, paying for what Gohan has done.

 After contemplating of his own hurt and guilt, he knew what Sharpener felt—but unlike him, Sharpener has built an insatiable desire to destroy Saiyaman…him.

            Being lost in his thoughts he barely heard someone behind him. "Gohan?"

            It was Videl. He turned around, forcing a smile, "Hey Videl! Anything wrong?"

            She smiled shyly, "Well, I was going to ask you the same."

            Gohan shook his head. "I'm okay, could be worse."

            Videl nodded and licked her lips, standing a little closer to him. "I'm not sure if it was wise to break up with Sharpener a couple of nights ago, especially when his father died. I kind of feel guilty."

            Gohan raised an eyebrow, "Did you know?" Did you know Sharpener lost his father to madness? No wait, Gohan was not mad—Sharpener's father was, engulfed in insanity. It was just a consequence—dieing was the consequence.

            She shook her head and truthfully replied, "No, I didn't"

            "Then don't feel guilty," he looked at a gravestone diverting his attention. He did not want to look in her eyes. He should be happy that she broke up with Sharpener.

            "Gohan," she said softly as a caress. He felt that he could hear her call his name forever and ever and not get annoyed. She put a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it for a brief moment. She was shivering from a cool breeze passing by. Out of the corner of Gohan's eyes he saw her black lace dress dancing with the wind, along with her black raven silky hair.

            Gohan turned to her as his hands slipped out of his packets. He listened to her. She was trying to say something. He would be attentive for her, like he always was.

            "I'm in love," she admitted slowly, watching his expression shift. "Well, I thought I was—with Saiyaman." She paused a bit before continuing, "Do you think that was foolish of me to have a crush on a super hero?" Her hand rested back on her thigh, slightly clutching it and shivering.

            Superhero…  "No, not really, why?" Gohan had turned a little red when she mentioned that, but stiffened. There was a flash of jealousy over him—but he smacked himself realizing that he is Saiyaman.

            "Oh well, I just thought it was foolish. I had thought Saiyaman as my Prince on a white horse, always coming to save me. You know, the whole fairytale deal, but I've fallen for someone else instead."

            This made Gohan's heart sing a peculiar rhythm. She was staring at him. Time almost froze. She whispered in a soft caressing voice, "It's you." She closed her eyes as if she saw something horrid, or tasted poison. No, she was scared of his reaction.

Gohan almost froze. Just what he wanted… This is what he desired to come out of her mouth, to roll off her tongue. He couldn't be any happier, but he knew things would get a lot more complicated.

He reached forward, brushing his lips with hers as overwhelming emotions passed through simulating him, remembering their last kiss. As he expected she kissed him back, uncertain at first, a little scared and hesitant. She soon added more passion and fire in her kiss as her hunger flourished.

            Gohan's instinct clicked again as he felt her body pressed to his. He heard her moan against his lips as his pace increased, his hands roaming up and down her body, not able to contain himself or get enough of her. He feverishly kissed down her neck, sucking and nipping at her skin, lightly biting a piece of skin, leaving a lover's bite. He eventually kissed back at her mouth, kissing, exploring, teasing, biting, he wouldn't be surprised if her lips had became numb, swollen, or bloody.

            Videl was so caught up with her emotions that she had almost missed something. Saiyaman…

            After a gasp for breath Gohan was able to get a hold of him and with the self-control he had left in himself, he reluctantly let her go. He closed his eyes, breath ragged. When he was able to move away. He looked at her, mesmerized by the kiss. It still held fire and passion for all it was worth.

            Her eyes were closed as she licked her lips. She sniffed as her body trembled. It was partially form the cool breeze, but she was certain that most of it came from the bliss of the kiss. It held the same fire, craze, and obsession as the kiss with Saiyaman was. Not only how the kiss was, but it was the action and touch that Gohan had for her, which set fire on her skin—just like how Saiyaman had made her feel. She still trembled, a little afraid to look at Gohan. Did she really love him as she thought she had? Or did she not realize how much she had loved him all this time?

Gohan still stared at her, watching her face change. Her face said it all. Her eyes spoke the truth. Her lips trembled, wanting to roll off the truth with the tip of her tongue. She finally knew he was Saiyaman...

            Truth was he expected that kiss to be everything he wanted. He wanted her…wanted her so bad. He wanted to stay there and kiss her until her lips bled, wanted to hold her again. He wanted her to moan his name. He wanted her too look at him with love and desire. He wanted to be with her. He wanted to be hers and vice versa. Nevertheless, he couldn't really explain why he walked away. He was different—wasn't human—wasn't pure human. He couldn't hide what he was. He couldn't deny what he is and what he can do. He had the power to do great things. With his power he had great responsibilities. If he added this girl to his mixed up life, would it matter? Would it just complicate everything else? No—yes—he didn't know. This was too complicated. Life was too complicated. He just wished sometimes he could just walk away from everything. Like the way he walked away from the girl he loved.

            Gohan took one last apologetic glance at Videl as he casually slipped his hands into his pockets, and strolled out of the graveyard, as if nothing happened.

AN/ Special note: So if you read this I'd like to know if you did (review). I'm not sure when next that I'll update so bear with me. Expect delays, I'm gone to NYC and I'm stumped for the next chapter. I have to admit though that most of my fire is in my other story, which I'm working on almost everyday. It's called "Forgotten", it's about Goku's Daughter (hence my name), but Goku or Chichi doesn't know that they have a daughter! It's seriously my best work yet. It's even better than this. Don't be hesitant and please R&R it, because I'm dieing for feedback. If you have ever read, "It's my life" and wondered why I never updated, it's because I've re-written it and now it's called "Forgotten". DUH! So it's way better than the old one. For my sanity namesake do me that favour—and I'll try to post another chapter of this quickly as I can depending on the number of reviews I get (for both, I'm depressed that's why I count on the reviews).

Okay enough from me and review on your way out. I'm oddly hungry so I'm leaving now. When I come back from NYC I hope to see reviews.

Kiss kiss MUAH!
