The Mystery Of Saiyaman
…Friends Don't Lie
**Review, Review, Review**
Sharpner, Erasa, Videl, and Gohan all crowded around a small bench outside the cafeteria area.
"So. What are you going to do this weekend you two?" Erasa said smugly. "Apparently you two have been skipping classes together so I don't have to try so hard to think." She said as she winked at Videl.
"What? No way I've been skipping with him. I've been doing what I always do. What have you been doing, Gohan?"
Gohan stuffed sand which in his mouth and shrugged.
Videl narrowed her eyes and stood up, grabbing the collar of Gohan's shirt. She pulled him to her, their noses almost touching. Gohan swallowed the last of his sand which, almost choking.
"Now Gohan, you wouldn't happen to be lying to me, right?"
Gohan nodded fearfully, his wide eyes looking into her deep blue ones.
"So you're definitely not the Great Saiyaman, right?"
He shook his head once more.
"Remember, Gohan. Friends don't lie."
She dropped his shirt and he plopped down into his chair. She leaned back in hers, still glaring at him. He looked away, trying to eat his lunch but how was he supposed with Videl's big, pretty eyes watching him the whole time.
Videl wanted to laugh. He was like a little kid, trying to avoid trouble. She just loved to make him nervous and jittery. It cracked her up. Several times she brushed her legs against his, teasing him purposely. He blushed every time and tried desperately to pay attention to the other two teenagers' conversation. Towards the end of lunch, Videl made her move.
She scoot as close to him as possible, whispering in his ear. "I'll be here after school. You'd better be here as well." She stood up and left with a shocked Erasa, jealous Sharpner, and a VERY nervous, heavy-breathing Gohan to stare after her.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Gohan waited patiently for Videl. He wondered what she could want. She was acting very weird the last past days and he could only wonder what she had in that evil little head of hers. He couldn't help but blush as she thought of her. He had never felt this way. It was a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach, as if there was something different about her. He straightened up as he saw her walk toward him.
"Gohan, I'm glad you came.
I have something important to tell you."
"What is it, Videl?"
"Now Gohan, please don't get nervous or run away just answer the question calmly and honestly. As a friend."
Gohan looked into Videl's eyes. She never seemed so serious before…or beautiful. Gohan shook the crazy thoughts out of his head.
"Sure."
"Are you Saiyaman?"
Gohan was immediately taken back. She would never give up. He was about to make an excuse but then he thought about her words. He wanted to tell her so badly but he just couldn't.
"No, Videl. You've got the wrong person."
Videl looked in his eyes a couple of minutes and concluded that he was telling the truth. She was searching for the wrong person all along.
"Ok, Gohan. Sorry for bothering you."
What Videl did next completely shocked both Gohan and Videl. She couldn't justify it, but she knew it felt right. She leaned towards him and kissed him on the cheek.
Gohan pulled back, completely shocked and embarrassed, his red-face showing exactly how he felt.
Videl just shook her head in humor and went walking home.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Videl raced to the bank. Today would be the day she would unmask the idiot in the costume. Her plan was about to go underway…
The Next Day…
Gohan balanced his pencil on his nose, trying his best to try to stay awake. He looked to both side of him. Sharpner was knocked out and drooling on his desk. At first, it looked like Erasa was actually paying attention but when he looked closely, Erasa was completely zoned out. He looked passed her and Videl was smirking evilly. He wondered what she could possible be thinking. He couldn't believe what she did yesterday. But every time he thought about it a feeling of guilt entered his mind. She had asked for the truth as a friend and yet he had still lied to her. He had to find someway to tell her before she found out it was really him. She would never forgive him. Never. His thoughts were interrupted by a beeping sound from Videl's watch. Oh great.
"What is it, Sergeant?'
…
"A kid is being held hostage at Satan mini-mall?"
…
"I'm on my way."
With a quick not from the teacher Videl ran out the door. A couple of moments later…
"Mrs. Brister? May I be excused to the restroom?"
The teacher studied him for a moment under her glasses.
"Okay Gohan. But make it quick!"
Gohan jumped out of his desk and ran out the door.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Gohan, or Saiyaman, flew above the city, searching for the mall. His eyes scanned the whole area and when he spotted it he swooped down from the sky onto the top of the building. That was weird. There were no cop cars or anything. He concluded that Videl had planned to sneak up on the criminal. He went in through the emergency exit. The mall was fairly empty. In fact there were only a few people in there. He searched around for Videl. He saw a couple of pig tails fly by a corner and he went after them. He caught up to her but before he could call her, she walked into an empty room in the mall, which was soon going to be turned into a clothing store. Gohan walked in cautiously and closed the door. It went into an emergency lock. Gohan pondered for a moment. Maybe he was walking into a trap. No matter he could get out. Suddenly, the lights went off. Luckily, there were still lights coming in from the entrance doors so he could still see a little in front of him. He heard footsteps in front of him, so he followed their sound. As soon as the figure in front of him sensed him it sped it up. Gohan quickened his pace as well. Soon both of them were running. The figure suddenly stopped and Gohan struggled not to bump into it. Suddenly, the light flickered on.
Videl smirked as she saw Saiyaman's shocked face. He really did have a good body. Too bad he wasn't Gohan. She shook her head to rid the thoughts.
"Uhh..Well hello Miss Videl!"
Videl didn't say anything she continued to smirk.
"Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Saiyaman, today is the day I find out who you are."
Gohan cleared his throat.
"Well, I-"
Before he could finish his sentence Videl swung. He easily dodged it but she kept swinging. He dodged all of them but Videl didn't seem to give up.
"Please Videl!" He yelled as he caught her wrist. "This isn't really the way you should approach things." He caught her other wrist as she yelled in his face.
"Would you tell me who your were if I asked you?!"
"I can't."
"Well then!"
Videl pulled her hands out of his strong grip. He sure was strong. Her wrists burned. She jumped up and kicked him but he caught her leg. She swung her other one and he caught that one as well. He dropped her, hoping she would give up but she didn't. Before she could attack he jumped in the air.
"SAIYAMAN YOU GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT."
Gohan gulped. How was he going to get out of this mess? He knew the doors were locked so that was out of the question. Videl had him trapped. He looked towards her direction but she was nowhere in sight. Maybe she gave up. He slowly, cautiously lowered himself to the ground. He walked a couple of steps and out of nowhere Videl jumped on him. They both tumbled to the ground, Videl kicking and swinging the whole time. They rolled on the ground, Gohan trying desperately not to injure her. It was really hard because Videl was trying to pull his helmet off. He had to get her off of him. He pinned her arms down on the ground while he fixed his helmet. Suddenly a leg shot up and kicked him behind the head. Gohan shook his head a bit. He actually felt that. He looked at Videl. She seemed to have spotted his watch. She reached for it and he pushed her as gently as he could. She slid across the floor. She tried to stand up but she fell back down. Gohan gasped as he realized he might have pushed her a little too hard. He ran to her.
Videl wished so badly that she could slap him but the trashcan on his head was in the way. He actually had the guts to hurt her. She saw him lean down to her and offer her a hand. Time for Plan B. She grabbed it and she was face to face with Saiyaman. Suddenly, she pushed herself against him.
Gohan yelped as he felt her whole body press against his. He tried to back off but she followed his every step till she had him backed up against the wall. Gohan gulped as Videl reached up and grabbed his neck. She pulled him down to her and with one last, unsteady breath; she kissed him fully on the mouth. Saiyaman froze in complete shock. This was her chance. She grabbed his watch and pushed the small button, her lips still on his. She pulled away and the figure in front of her gasped then the outfit disappeared to reveal the person she was actually hoping not to see. Gohan.
