Tears of the Heart: Chapter 1
"Gohan and Vegeta are dead."
Videl felt as if some one had shoved a hand right into her chest and wrapped it's fingers around her heart and just crushed it with a strong grip. She felt the tears come to her eyes and she let them it was the first time she could remember crying since her mother died. She hung her head and watched the tears fall to the floor and spoke in a disbelieving voice,
"he cant be dead… I love him."
No one seemed to hear her she had spoken so softly and she finally noticed Bulmas hysterics and realized she wasn't the only person who lost some one they cared for. She turned quickly searching for Gohan's mother. She saw Chi-Chi laying on the ground apparently passed out with Goku tenderly stroking her face trying to bring her back to reality as harsh as it is. Videl slowly began to walk over to the Son family. She couldn't feel her body anymore it was numb with grief so she had to concentrate on her feet; a task that was proving to be quite difficult due to the tears that continually blurred her vision. Videl placed a hand on Goku's shoulder and looked pleadingly at him, a look that said "please tell me that was a cruel joke." Goku looked up at videl. Videl looked into his eyes and saw a father grieving for a lost son and in that instant knew it was no joke he really was dead.
Videl was sitting against a white pillar with her knees pulled up and her head resting against her knees she went over her memories of Gohan. She wanted to remember the good times, but realized all the memories with Gohan were good memories. She remembered the first time they met
She had just finished her early morning training and had gotten cleaned up for school. She was en route when her watch had beeped, and the police chief had told her several men with automatic weapons had robbed the bank and were trying to make their escape. Videl sighed and replied "ok chief on my way."
Well she had gotten there all be it a little late she was a bit miffed at the fact she was called and some one else did her job. Her first thought was the incompetent police had actually managed to catch the crooks on their own, but once she looked around and saw the getaway truck completely totaled. Most the crooks nursing broken bones she quickly came to the conclusion it wasn't the police so she marched up to the first person she saw even though she had no clue who they were. Got right up in his face and demanded to know if he saw what happened he looked at her blankly and stuttered out he didn't see a thing. Sending the boy a glare she stomped off to question some others and found out a gold fighter had appeared and taken care of everything. The ranking police officer on duty seemed a bit confused when she had said she didn't know the gold fighter because he was wearing the OSH school badge. Well she decided if he goes to my school it should be easy for me to find out who he is.
Well she had gotten to school and went to home room where all the students were talking about the gold fighter she vaguely remembered her friends Erasa and Sharpenr talking about the gold fighter. Then the teacher got every ones attention and announced that a new student would be joining the class and then proceeded to call in the boy she had so rudely interrogated that morning. She noticed he looked very uncomfortable. The teacher then introduced him as Son Gohan. Then proceeded to make him even more uncomfortable by stating he had gotten perfect scores on his entrance exams. She could hear the students whispering about that statement and heard words such as nerd and geek. And she could have sworn she saw Gohan blush even more but it couldn't be because of the comments he was up front with the professor. Well Gohan made his way up the center isle looking for a seat when Erasa stood up and shouted "hey new boy over here." Videl then watched Gohan as he walked over and sat next to them. Then to Videls complete dismay Erasa proceeded to introduce videl as the daughter of Mr. Hercule Satan (you know the man who beat Cell). Fortunately Gohan didn't know what to make of that and gave a little laugh and said, "heh that's nice."
The morning classes went on fine and Videl was relieved that she wasn't called out of class. In her opinion she had been called out too often and was falling behind. Well lunch came and she searched out Gohan and apologized for how rude she was to him; after all her mom had taught her manners.
And thus began their friendship all be it a rocky one but it was friendship none the less
Videl looked up at the others while they were trying to persuade Chi-Chi and bulma to let them train Goten and Trunks and it was Goku and Piccolo on one side and Bulma and Chi-Chi on the other and the guys weren't faring very well but Goku and Piccolo both being excellent fighters and good strategists were finally able to convince the two women to let them train the boys. At that moment Videl came to a decision she would fight too. She would fight for Gohan. She slowly stood up and walked with a purpose over to the group of fighters. And she spoke with a determined conviction, "I want to fight too. Train me please."
Everyone looked at her shocked and goku was about to say no when Videl looked at him with unshed tears in her eyes and said, "Please you just have to let me. I want to for Gohan."
Goku nodded and said, "Videl I understand how you feel but we just don't have the time it would take to train you to get to a level where you would stand a chance."
Videl looked absolutely crushed. Juuhachigou noticed and the human side Krillen kept encouraging her to develop surfaced, and she stepped up to Goku and whispered something to him. Goku's eyes widened for a moment then he looked all serious and nodded his head agreeing with what ever Juuhachigou had said. She then walked over to her husband, and handed Marron to him. Then spoke softly to him. Krillen looked sad, but nodded in understanding and acceptance. He then wished his wife luck. Then Juuhachigou stood and walked up to Videl and spoke to her "you want to train so you can help?" Videl nodded. Juuhachigou spoke again "then follow me if you are willing to undergo the most intense training you have probably ever experienced." She started walking down a hall and Videl hurried to keep up.
"I thought there wasn't enough time to train." Videl spoke curiously. Juuhachigou smiled at her and said,
"Videl where were going to train time doesn't matter." And after that statement eighteen spoke no more even as Videl tried to pry more information from her about what she meant. They stopped in front of a big door. Juuhachigou pushed it open and beckoned Videl to follow. She walked in and noticed it looked just like everything else on the platform they were on she noticed a kitchen and a few bedrooms. "This looks like a small house." Videl said in confusion. Juuhachigou just smiled and told Videl to just follow her. They walked through a hall and came out to a foyer. As Videl looked up to look around this new room she noticed the foyer extended out a few feet then nothing. Videl looked completely shocked oh my…
