-------- Because of that Man in Black -------

Chapter 3:

The next day at Orange Star High. Gohan and Videl entered the school. As soon as Erasa spotted them, she ran towards Videl.

"Hey girl! Where were you? I called you this morning, cause I wanted to find where that strange man took you to. But your dad said that you didn't came home last night. Where were you?" Erasa asked.

"Well, that man was just someone from the police. Another bank robbery I had to take care of." Videl lied.

Gohan tried to look serious, but he found it a lame excuse. He wasn't sure if Erasa would believe it. But she did.

"O, ok. And where were you?"

"I spend the night at Gohan's."

"O my god, what did you guys do? You mean you've slept with each other?" Erasa asked.

"NO, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT! HE SLEPT ON THE COUCH AND I SLEPT IN HIS BED!" Videl shouted. She and Gohan were blushing heavily.

"Poor Gohan," Erasa chuckled. She gave him a friendly slap on his shoulder.

Gohan started to cry out in pain.

"What's up with you, Gohan? It wasn't that hard." Erasa said.

"No, it's not you, Erasa.Videl! It's my upper-arm!" Gohan shouted.

Although Videl didn't know much about power, she could feel Gohan's ki rising by the minute.

"Holy shit, Gohan. We're going outside, come on."

Videl helped him outside. It cost him a lot of energy to only fight the pain. Let alone walk outside. Erasa wanted to follow them.

"It's better for you to stay here, Erasa." Videl said, and she left the schoolyard. Gohan and Videl ran to the parking places next to the dump. No one ever came there.

"Gohan? You okay?" she saw tears escaping from his eyes. She didn't dare to touch him. She was afraid to get an electric shock again. Gohan shook his head and grabbed his arm even tighter. Videl suddenly remembered something. That scar!

"Gohan, lift up your shirt so that I can see your scar!" she shouted. Gohan did what she asked him to do.

"O. My. God." She stammered. The scar was flashing pink to blood red.

"What is it?" Gohan asked.

"I don't know exactly, but it's changing colours the whole time."

"Something's attacking me from inside," Gohan bowed his head and screamed. Videl didn't know what to do or what to say. Suddenly, some sort of blood came out of Gohan's scar. No ordinary blood, cause it was black. Videl was scared to death. Gohan fell down the ground and the blood started to form a disgusting creature. Videl shouted.

"What the hell did just came out your body?" As soon as Gohan found the strength to stand up, he ran towards Videl and pushed her away from the creature.

"Videl, make sure you stay outta this."

"But who's going to protect you then?"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"That's exactly what you said before getting attacked by then man in black." Videl took a few steps back, "How could that be? He doesn't look like that man at all!" This man had a red face with black stripes. He wore a black gi. Gohan turned Super-Saiyan 2 and powered up.

"First question: Who are you?" Gohan asked. The demon didn't answer but just grinned.

"You know, it's very rude not to answer someone's question. Who are you?" Gohan asked again. Videl watched the scene.

"Gohan sure is brave. I wouldn't come up with those words against a monster like that," Videl thought.

"I'm one of his soldiers," the demon spoke.

"One of whose soldiers?" Gohan asked. He knew the answer, but he wanted to find out the man's name.

"From, how do you call him, man in black?" the demon said.

"How do you know all that?" Gohan asked.

"Our king is in your mind anytime, anywhere. He can read your thoughts, he knows exactly what you feel. He even knows how much you love that pathetic, little girlfriend of yours" the demon said as he stared at Videl. This made Gohan very angry.

"She's everything but pathetic and you're the little one here. Cause you're no match for me and you know that." Gohan attacked. He hit the demon in the stomach and smashed his head against the hard ground. Gohan flew back satisfied. He knew it wasn't over yet, but he could easily finish this battle.after the demon told everything.

"It doesn't matter either you kill me or not. The other soldiers can easily track you down by your scar," the demon said.

"Than how can I get rid of it?" Gohan asked.

"That's the good thing: You can't!" the creature laughed but also coughed. Gohan's hit in the stomach was very effective.

"What do you want from us?" Gohan asked disgusted.

"We want you two to work for the underworld. Your strength is very useful to us there," the demon said. Gohan looked up.

"You're asking us to join hell?"

"That's right. You know, you're girlfriend is very picture-perfect for this. Her last name is Satan and when you rearrange the letters from her first name you get Devil. Pretty good name, Devil Satan. Her name says it all," the demon laughed. Gohan saw that Videl was fighting back angry tears. Gohan wanted to hug her, but he knew that she didn't want to make a complete fool of herself like that. Gohan got angry and turned back to the demon.

"You have to watch your words. No one hurts my girlfriend!" Gohan stood a few steps back and gathered energy. The demon didn't know what was about to happen and decided to just watch.

"Stand back, Videl. This is going to be tough," Gohan said. Videl ran away from them and Gohan went on.

"KA.ME.HA."Gohan shouted while doing his moves. The demon now realized what he was doing.

"Do you really think I'd give you the time to do that?" the demon asked. He gathered energy and an energy ball started to form in his hands.

"No, I won't let you," Videl said. She flew towards Gohan as soon as he shot the energy ball. She beat the ball off.

"ME.HA!" Gohan shouted. Videl flew off just in time before the wave had a chance to hit her. The demon started to burn heavily and vanished. Gohan breathed heavily and ran to the very shocked Videl.

"Don't worry. He's gone now," he said to calm her down. He saw tears in her eyes.

"I don't want to work for the underworld," Videl said.

"Don't worry. I'll protect you. I won't let them take you," Gohan said. Videl wrapped his arms around his neck like a little child.

"I hate my name," she cried.

"Don't. I love your name, Vidy," he said.

"I don't want to go home. I'm not safe there. When that man comes to pay me a visit, I won't be able to defend myself," Videl said.

"Do you want to stay at my house until we've beat him and his army?" Gohan asked.

"No, I don't want to bother you and your family," she said.

"That's the good thing; you don't! We love to have you around. But what about your dad?" Gohan asked. Videl's relieved face turned sad again.

"He'll probably be drunk again. But I'll leave a note behind and my number from my mobile," she said. Gohan thought about that.

"I don't think that's a good idea."

"Well than you try to come up with something good!"

Gohan sighed and picked up Videl's bag.

"Okay. Let's go back to school. We'll think of something," Gohan looked at her with a determined face. Videl smiled and took her bag.

"Let's go, or we gonna miss the third period!" and with that, they ran off towards the school."

To be continued.
