"And that's what it's like. It's the Saiyan form of mating you could say, except Saiyans mate for life." Vegeta explained, as Zoa sat quietly listening on the gravity room floor. "So you're saying that if, uh, me and Gohan, -"
"Yes. I'm saying if you and Gohan have sex you'll become in a way, affixed to each other physically." Vegeta stated bluntly. Zoa frowned, blushing slightly as she answered. "So for Saiyans, making love is kind of like getting married?"
Vegeta shrugged and nodded. "Marriage is a worthless Earth ritual, nothing more." Zoa raised an eyebrow at this. "Yeah, but it's a nice way to express your love for someone. By making a commitment." Vegeta and Bulma had lived together for some time now, and even had a son, yet they had never officially gotten married…
Vegeta scoffed at this comment, waving a hand. "And sex isn't? Well, maybe not on this planet. But it is with Saiyans. And you and Gohan obviously care for each other, the way your hormones are acting up, so what's the problem?"
Zoa looked down, playing with her shoes and shrugging her shoulders. "Well, we're kind of young…" Vegeta laughed. "Look, if you want to do things the way they're done on this planet, go for it, but you and Gohan are Saiyan. And it will take a lot more than will power, you'll see."
"Yeah, so I talked to Vegeta and-What in the world?!?" Zoa walked into the living room to find Gohan tied and gagged to the back of a recliner and Trunks and Goten hiding behind the couch with their dart guns. They jumped out when they saw her and pointed the guns threateningly in her direction.
"Alright! We've already got Gohan, so come quietly." Trunks demanded seriously. Zoa let out a small laugh and looked over at Gohan who shrugged his shoulders. She shook her head and put up her hands, walking over to the armchair. "And why are you taking us hostage?" She demanded of the two boys as they sat her down beside Gohan and began tying her up as well.
"Because we need the money!" Goten exclaimed. Zoa broke down into fits of laughter. Yes, tonight was definitely turning out to be interesting…
"Thanks again you two, that was really great of you to watch the kids." Bulma smiled as everyone got ready to leave. Goten and Trunks had convinced Chi Chi and Bulma to let Goten sleep over at Capsule Corp for the night, and now everyone else was getting prepared to go.
"No problem!" Gohan declared as they headed out the door. "Yeah, you bet!" Zoa added waving as everyone said their goodbyes. As soon as they got outside, and made sure the cost was clear, they transformed into their super hero outfits and took off towards the Lookout Point. Bulma had dropped Chi Chi off before coming back, and since Goten was staying at Capsule Corp for the night, Chi Chi had agreed it would be okay for Gohan to hang out at the Lookout Point for a while before coming home.
They got there in no time at all and headed across the neatly set tile floor to the large palace. Dende grinned as he noticed them come in and gestured to the couch beside him.
"Hey! You guys are just in time! There's this awesome movie starting in fifteen minute, and Mr. Popo's making popcorn! Come on! Have a seat!"
Zoa smiled, pointing to her book-bag
and shrugging regretfully. "Sorry Dende. We were actually going to do some
homework before Gohan has to go home." She explained as they headed down the
hallway. Gohan nodded in agreement, hurrying quickly after her as Dende watched
with a skeptical look on his face. "Homework? On Friday? Sometimes I don't get
you guys…"
Zoa laughed slightly as they
walked into her room, and quietly shut the door behind her. She let out a long
breath and threw herself down on the bed, her book-bag falling before her on
the carpet.
"Man! What a night huh?" She asked tiredly, running a hand throw her long hair. Gohan nodded, seating himself down beside her and grinning goofily. "Yeah, no joke! But hey, you never got a chance to tell me what Vegeta said when you talked to him earlier." Zoa's eyes widened a bit as he said this and she sat up, blushing slightly.
"Well, um, not much, just some, uh, stuff…" She tried to explain through the awkwardness of the subject. "But hey, let's get out our books first and-" She stopped short as Gohan reached out and pulled her head towards him, kissing her passionately. She let her eyes fall partially closed and kissed back, a little surprised, but not about to argue. After a few moments, he released her and sat back, scratching the back of his head bashfully.
"Ahehe, sorry about that, I couldn't resist, and well…" He started, forgetting to finish as Zoa gripped his shoulders and kissed him again, more forcefully this time, drawing him down towards the bed until he was lying on top of her. Suddenly, it became incredibly easy for Zoa to block everything else out as she felt Gohan's powerful hands wandering carefully across her body. She moaned softly, pushing herself up into him, twining her fingers into his dark spiky hair as he began to kiss her faster, his hands suddenly gripping the bottom of her tank top.
"I guess, we're not, gonna do homework then?" Zoa gasped as he began placing gentle kisses along the smooth curve of her neck. She let out a small groan as she moved her hands down to his shirt and began undoing the buttons, quickly accomplishing her task and pulling it off, tossing it heedlessly on the ground. Gohan took in a sharp breath as she began running her hands along his well defined chest muscles. He quickly lifted his arms, pulling her top up past her bra. Zoa lifted her arms gladly to let him pull it over her head and throw it out of the way. She giggled, placing her hands back on his shoulders as he bent down again and began to kiss her slowly lower, and lower…
"WHAT IN THE WORLD DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?"
"PICCOLO?!?" Zoa's eyes widened as she turned quickly to see the tall Namek looming in the doorway, his hands on his hips and a not too happy look on his face. She blushed instantly, pulling Gohan down slightly since she wasn't wearing a shirt. Gohan laughed nervously at Piccolo, giving him a small wave. "Hey Piccolo, how's it going?"
Piccolo frowned, narrowing his eyes at the two teens. "Hello Gohan. Perhaps you'd like to explain exactly what you two were doing, like I don't already know the answer." Gohan put out a hand in front of him, sitting up slightly and handing Zoa her shirt as he reached down to grab his own also. "Well, we were, um, we were just studying!" He exclaimed, plastering a somewhat innocent grin on his face. "Yeah! Studying!" Zoa added, nodding hurriedly as she pulled on her top. But Piccolo wasn't buying it.
"Oh really?" He asked skeptically, turning his gaze and aiming it towards Zoa. "And what exactly were you studying? Gohan-ethics?" Zoa shrugged, smiling sheepishly and looking over embarrassedly to her book-bag on the floor. Piccolo shook his head and turned to leave. "Well I think you both had better come out to the living room when you're fully dressed. We need to talk." With that, he shut the door and they listened solemnly to his footsteps as they receded down the hallway.
"Shit… He's really going to bitch us out for this…"
Zoa frowned as Gohan finished doing up the buttons on his shirt. He turned to
her and smiled slightly, giving her a small wink. "Hey, don't worry. We'll
convince him to go easy on us. I mean, we're both pretty much adults, he'll
understand if he thinks about it." Zoa let out a small sigh and leaned over,
resting her head on Gohan's shoulder. "Hope you're right…"
"Come
on Piccolo, just think about it!" Zoa and Gohan pleaded, awaiting the
punishment for being caught during their make out session. Piccolo raised an
eyebrow and shrugged. "I have." Zoa frowned, raising an eyebrow at the comment.
"Well then exactly how much trouble are we in?" She asked suspiciously, hoping
for the best.
"None."
Piccolo replied. Gohan and Zoa stood back slightly, looking over at each other
with surprise written on their faces. They hadn't expected to get off THAT
easily…
"Really?" Zoa asked, somewhat in disbelief at this.
Piccolo nodded, walking towards the kitchen. "You two are old enough to make
decisions for yourselves. And I overreacted when I found out about what you
were doing. You're both very bright, and I think you kids make a good pair, and
should just do what you want to do. And as far as what you were doing, well,
it's none of my business."
Zoa
watched as Piccolo turned and disappeared inside the kitchen. She laughed softly
and shook her head. That had been pretty cool of Piccolo to stop worrying so
much and to just let them off like that. Gohan, as if he had read her thoughts,
suddenly broke the silence.
"That
sure was cool of him." He commented as he turned to her. Zoa nodded her
agreement, looking back into the living room with a glare as she noticed Dende
sneaking slowly through the room. "YOU!" She exclaimed, heading towards him
with clenched fists. "You're DEAD you Snitch! What were you doing, spying on
us?!?" Dende shook his head, backing up as Zoa advanced angrily. "No! No! I
just guessed it because no teenager would ever do homework on a Friday night!"
Zoa gritted her teeth, still not satisfied with this answer. "So you blabbed to
Piccolo?"
"No! I just let it slip! I was joking around and accidentally made a comment okay? I'm sorry, honest!" Zoa furrowed her eyebrows at him. "You're just lucky we didn't get in trouble…" She muttered, turning back and heading over to Gohan. Dende sighed and headed down to his room. Gohan looked down at his watch as the Namek left and frowned unhappily at the time.
"Oh man, I'd better get going. I told my mom I wouldn't be too late. But, I'll see you tomorrow, alright?" Zoa nodded enthusiastically, wrapping her arms around him in a big hug. "You bet. I'll get up as early as possible." Gohan grinned, lifting her up slightly off the ground. "Cool, we'll have to do something fun." He replied, putting her back down and picking his book-bag up off the ground. Zoa watched sadly as he slung it over his shoulder, wishing that he didn't have to go. He let out a breath, then placed a hand gently on the side of her cheek. He leaned down and kissed her, having to force himself to part from her as he turned and started for the palace doors.
"Later." He called, giving her a two finger wave before turning out of sight. "Bye." Zoa replied softly, looking over at the television and turning it off for the night. She tossed the remote on the couch and turned off the lights before she left the room.
"Goodnight everybody!" She called as she walked into her room again, closing the door behind her and turning on her lamp. She rooted quickly through her dresser drawer and found her pajamas, quickly throwing them on and getting into bed. Maybe Vegeta was right, She thought as she placed her arms behind her head on her pillow and looked up at the ceiling pensively, maybe giving into feelings and Saiyan hormones is okay. Especially since I really do love Gohan… She let out a sigh and reached over to her night table, turning off the light.
She smirked slightly, lying back down, unable to stop thinking about earlier that evening. She couldn't help but wonder about what the night might have been like if Piccolo hadn't come storming into the room and interrupted her and Gohan. Well, guess we'll just have to make up for it tomorrow. She thought, as she cuddled up to her blankets and drifted off to sleep.
