Anyway, the next chapter should have a big change in it so please read it when I finally get it up. Anyway, Enjoy today's chapter.

Chapter 4: Goku's Desire

Chi Chi and Goku were more than happy to let Videl stay the night. But they did have some fun with them. By the time they had finished asking them Gohan's face was redder that a tomato painted with blood.

They had rice for dinner. Videl could not get past how much Saiyans ate. Gohan had 15 bowls- and Goku asked if he had lost his appetite! Goten alone consumed a small mountain of rice and they all had several litres of water each. Once Gohan, Goten and Goku were finished they went out and trained while Videl talked to Chi Chi.

"So, Videl, have you noticed anything unusual about Gohan lately" asked Chi Chi, collecting the plates.

"What do you mean, Chi Chi?" asked Videl.

"Well, lately Gohan hasn't been able to sleep, and he has been very irritable. He gets angry a lot quicker than usual' replied Chi Chi "I was wondering if it might have been something at school". Videl remembered the last few weeks with Gohan. She remembered him being a lot more irritable, especially towards Sharpner. She also remembered her afternoon with Gohan. She remembered how she sensed a change in Gohan but it wasn't on the outside. It was something within.

"Come to think of it, Chi Chi, I have noticed a difference. Has Gohan ever mentioned a guy named Sharpner?" asked Videl. Chi Chi paused for a moment but then nodded. Videl started to explain everything that had happened recently, not leaving out a single detail.

Gohan and Goku were sparring while Goten studied there moves. Goku was kept on his toes by his eldest son normally but for some reason tonight he had particular trouble beating his son. Gohan was really fighting different to how he normally did. He was a lot more aggressive than normal. Goku had an inkling as to why it was but he wasn't going to jump to conclusions. Then Gohan disappeared and reappeared behind Goku, delivering a hard punch to the centre of Goku's back. Goku swung around just to be kicked back to the ground. Goku laughed. He was pretty sure now that he knew what was going on.

"Good work, Gohan, lets take a break" suggested Goku, panting heavily.

"What's a matter, dad, too much for you" joked Gohan. He sat down on a ledge of a cliff.

"You wish" said Goku with a laugh "Goten, go back to the house and tell Chi Chi and Videl we'll be in in a little while". Goten nodded and sped off back to the house.

"Gohan, I need to ask a favour of you" said Goku.

"Sure, shoot" replied Gohan, who jumped back to the ground to talk to his father.

"Me and your mother need some time to ourselves, you know, to 'talk' " started Goku "I was wondering if you could take Goten off our hands for a few nights?".

"Where should I take him?" asked Gohan.

"I dunno, camping maybe. Or you could even go to Kami's place. It doesn't matter how much it costs, it's just I haven't been alone with your mother since I got back from other world" replied Goku.

"Fine, how long" asked Gohan. He was now starting to understand his father's intentions.

"Do you think you could manage four nights? Do something different each night. You could even take Videl" said Goku as he nudged him in the ribs and winked.

"Would you and mum lay off?! It is really getting irritating!" snarled Gohan. This confirmed Goku's theory. No sleep + highly irritable + time with lady friend increasing = (you'll have to wait to find that out later).

"Oh, come on Gohan, we're just joking around" assured Goku "We know your not doing anything, we're just having a little fun"

"At mine and Videl's expense!" Gohan retorted "I know you don't mean to piss me off but you do!"

"Watch your language Gohan" snapped Goku, mainly because he wanted the argument to end.

"Whatever" said Gohan as he turned around and headed to his house.

"Gohan, you are going to do this for me aren't you?" asked Goku, now panicking that he might miss this chance. He really needed this, the tension between him and Chi Chi was increasing by the day.

"Yeah, sure" replied Gohan, rather indifferently as he continued to walk to the house. He was really getting sick of his parents cracking jokes about him and Videl.

*They just don't know when to stop. Sure she's nice and is stunningly attractive and has the most gorgeous legs I've ever seen and the most amazing bre…* Gohan's mind continued like that until he got back to the house. He was surprised to find that while he was concentrating on Videl's assets Goku had passed him and was already back at the house.

"What took you so long? asked Goku.

"Gohan, you're sleeping on the couch, Goten is in with us and Videl has your room" said Chi Chi, who was sitting next to Goku.

"Fine" said Gohan but under his breath he said "If I get any sleep". Despite the fact he hadn't slept a full night in days Gohan hadn't felt tired. It was the strangest thing. And it wasn't affecting his school work either. Once again he had gotten perfect scores in his English exam as well as in his maths class. This puzzled Chi Chi but she didn't really worry about it, as long as he did well she didn't worry at all.

"Where's Videl? asked Gohan, noticing her absence.

"She's taking a shower" replied Chi Chi. Gohan stood there for a second picturing it.

*SNAP OUT OF IT, GOHAN!!! FOR KAMI'S SAKE, YOU PERVERT" he yelled to himself. He quickly thought about butterflies trying to get that perverted thought out of his head. He decided it would be best to get out of there before his parents noticed he was blushing. He quickly headed for his room. As he walked in he got out of his training Gi and got into a singlet and some boxer shorts. Just as he was about to leave Videl walked in, wearing nothing but a towel. As she saw Gohan she jumped back a bit and blushed. But Gohan's face was far redder.

"Uh… your mum said I could get changed in here" said Videl. Gohan was looking at the ground to avoid Videl seeing him blushing.

"Uh… sure, I'll get out of here then" said Gohan. He walked out quickly, still looking at the floor. Videl was really wondering about Gohan by now.

*Darn it he's cute when he blushes. He really does change moods quickly* she thought getting dressed. She finished getting dressed and went out to say good night to the Son family. Gohan was still blushing a little bit. Goten gave her a hug and then went to bed with Goku and Chi Chi. Gohan and Videl stood there for a second and then Videl gave him a peck on the cheek and went to bed. Gohan was so red he glowed. He hopped onto the couch and tried to get some sleep but to no avail.

Goten was asleep but Chi Chi and Goku were having a little conversation concerning their eldest son.

"Videl was saying that she noticed the change as well. Apparently recently he has become very impatient with one of the kids from school" said Chi Chi "Some kid named Sharpener I think. Anyway, he has definitely been acting odd lately, maybe we should get him to see a counselor or something?"

"I doubt that would help him at all" said Goku "I think this is the sort of thing we just leave for him to figure out himself"

"Why do you think that?" asked Chi Chi curiously.

"Well, what do you suppose he'd do when we suggested it?" started Goku "He wouldn't exactly be jumping up and down for joy, now would he?"

"I suppose so" agreed Chi Chi with a yawn.

"I'd also say we'd be better off sending him off to Vegeta for a day or so" added Goku. Chi Chi looked at her husband with an expression on her face that told Goku she thought he was crazy.

"Well, Vegeta is the one who knows most about these crazy Saiyan things" said Goku, trying to justify his previous statement. However, it only confused Chi Chi further.

"Well I have an inkling as to why Gohan has been acting this way, but don't suggest it to Gohan or Videl, Okay?" said Goku.

Chi Chi nodded.

"Well I think that it's more than a crush. I think it's a…"

Tee hee. R+R thanks.
