~All I Need For Christmas~ ~Epilogue/Pre-sequel!~
(A/N: Alright, there are many reason's that I'm doing this, so everyone just be patient... Village Idiot, this chappy is for you, I don't normally write a ton of sappy, but I don't want any of my reviewers to feel cheated! I hope it's sappy enough for ya! Oh, and one of my reviewers pointed out that my story's kind of predictable in that there's bad news, then good news, then they fall asleep... This chappy kind of strays from that path, but only slightly. Warning: This is not gonna be a long chappy...)
*And An Extra Special Thanks To Digiexpert, My One Hundredth Reviewer! You put in your review that you hoped I got one hundred reviews so I'd have to continue, and you were the one who gave me my 100th review!*
Gohan carried his Videl out the door silently, not wanting to wake his family, who had returned home, or Videl, who had yet to wake up. The wind blew fresh and cold against his and Videl's bodies, and Gohan was forced to hold Videl closer simply to keep her from freezing. He couldn't help but roll his eyes at the fact that she continued to refuse to wear a jacket. Raising his ki slightly, he flew off in the direction of the Satan mansion.
His mind drifted off during the flight, mainly because he was flying slowly so as not to wake Videl up. He thought of all that had happened in the past two and a half weeks. Had it really been that long? With all that had happened, every good and bad thing, it still felt like just a day or two ago. 'What if she had gotten AIDS? What if the Syphilis couldn't be destroyed? How... How would our lives be different? How would her life be different? Would she still love me? I-I know I'd still love her, but is that feeling mutual? Would it even matter? I mean, no matter what the Dr. tried, she'd still die eventually...' Gohan's head spun with 'What if's.
Glancing up he landed softly on Videl's balcony. Videl's fist grasped tighter onto Gohan's shirt, and her eyelids lifted.
"Gohan?" she questioned, sitting up in his arms.
"Oh, sorry, I was trying not to wake you..." Gohan muttered, walking into her room.
"What, oh no, I don't think it was you. I mean, I have been sleeping for a while now, I had to wake up at some point," she shrugged it off. Videl noticed that even after Gohan had set her down, his eyes continued to avoid hers. "Gohan? What's wrong?"
"Hmm? Nothing! I mean, what made you think something was wrong?!" Gohan grinned half-heartedly.
Videl grabbed his hand and lead him over to her bed, pushing him down and then sitting next to him. "Gohan.... I'm not stupid, and you've never lied to me before, not even about your feelings..." her hand rubbed against her chest. "You're... You're breaking my heart," she whispered, looking away as tears trickled from her eyes.
"Videl, please don't cry... I was just thinking and... I..." Gohan's voice trailed off as his hand brushed the tears from her eyes.
"Wh-what could you be thinking about that would make you lie to me?! You never have before! I can't think of one time... Why won't you tell me what's wrong?" she asked quietly.
"As-as much as I hate to admit it, I'm kind of afraid of your answer..."
"Why? What could I say? What do you want to ask me?" she wondered. She grasped his hand and rubbed it unconsciously.
"Videl... Fine... Videl, if... If you had ended up with... With AIDS, would you, you know, still like me? Even, even love me?" Gohan asked. He didn't dare look at her once he had finished, so afraid of her reaction he was. Her grip on his hand tightened, and he was sure he heard something almost like a sob rise from her throat. But whether her had originally intended to look at her face or not, he felt a tear drip onto his hand from her eyes, and he was forced to turn around.
"Gohan... I have to know before I tell you... Would you still love me?" she was fighting every one of her emotions, for the very core of her body was telling her that this was it, and that this was how he was going to break up with her.
Gohan studied her for a minute, before he pulled her into his arms and rubbed her back, silently cooing for her to calm down. "Videl, I-I would still love you.... No matter what, I'll always love you, but please, I need to know if you would feel the same about me..." Gohan cried softly, rocking back and forth, trying to calm her and himself at the same time.
Through all of her own tears, she finally allowed a small smile and a light laugh. "Oh God Gohan... I love you too. Nothing would have ever stopped me from feeling this way toward you, and especially not some disease," she just lightly brushed his cheeks with her lips.
Gohan swallowed hard several times, before leaning down and kissing her briefly. He continued to hold her, even though he was crying softly. Videl pulled back and stared at Gohan for a second.
"Damn... I don't deserve you..." she whispered, one hand brushing Gohan's cheek.
Gohan suddenly chuckled quietly. "And here I was, thinking that I don't deserve you..." he looked up at her and smiled. "I think we've gotten ourselves mixed up. We deserve each other."
Videl choked for a second, still trying pathetically to stop her own cries. But her lips were soon caught up in Gohan's own, and she had no worry or fear of crying anymore.
Gohan's lips moved down onto Videl's neck as the pair collapsed back onto her bed. But just like last time, Gohan stopped himself. He lifted his face and went back to kissing her lips, despite what his instincts were telling him to do.
Videl searched Gohan's eyes, and realizing what had happened, she gently grasped his wrist and lead his hand down to the hem of her shirt. Gohan blinked at her, slightly confused, and she decided to take the initiative. She gently began to lift the shirt from her own body, but Gohan placed a hand on her wrist and stopped her.
"V-Videl... You don't have to do this, you know... I swear, I'm fine with it," Gohan said, slightly taken aback by Videl's actions.
Videl allowed a small laugh. "No, Gohan, I want this. And I mean it..." she wrapped her arms around Gohan's neck and kissed him with a heated passion. Gohan was hesitant at first, but both of them were soon caught up in a swirl of emotions, and neither could resist the other. Their minds, their bodies, and their hearts became one on that night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HAH! Well, how do you like it? I mean, it's short, and I didn't make it a lemon, like I'm sure some people want, but how is it? And see, they didn't fall asleep! *smirks evilly* BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm hyper right now!
Oh, and don't review asking for a lemon, I'm NOT writing one. I know some people who will write a lemon, and then say that they tried to make it more about the emotions, but you know what?! It's still pornography... Just because you capture their emotions as well, doesn't make it less of pornography... Okay, I'm done with that little rant.
I have a ton of things to ask and say to you all right now. First, about the sequel. Normally, I try to have the entire fic plotted out in my head before I even start writing it. I don't have the sequel plotted out in my head entirely yet, though. I do have a few chapters thought out though.. So here's my question; Do you want me to post chapters as I think of them, or do you want to wait? I'm warning you though, It may take a LONG time for me to think this one up, 'cause I have to do research on the court process.
I'd also like to address my reviews...
First, Majunior7: Yeah, I know. After I wrote that to you I remembered that fic. Don't know how I forgot it... She needs to write more NOW.... But I'm glad that you think it was well-written, and I thank you.
RJ: Why thank you... I needed some comedy in my fic, and the Hercule thing was as good as any. And indeed, you did get me closer to the 100 mark, you had me up to 95 with those reviews.
Mistress Frostic: I'm glad you wanted a sequel so much! And indeed, Rom is a character from DBZ. Think Saiyan Conflict Saga...
Saiyan Princess77: *grins* I'm glad you want me to continue so badly. Rom.... As I said to Mistress Frostic, think Saiyan Conflict Saga... Oh, and about what you said at the end of your review... Did Videl have some fun with Gohan? *grins* Well, there's your answer.
Chrissy: Wow, you were hyper again weren't you? I'm glad you like it so much, and I'll definitely do the sequel, thanks to all you guys. And when I do, I hope you read it, but I hope you like it too...
Holy-Knight: Hmm... Just because there's no AIDS doesn't mean that there won't be angst in the sequel, though. I'm glad you liked the story so much....
To DigiExpert: My 100th Reviewer! And to think you put in your review that you hoped I got 100 reviews. I will do the sequel, and I'm so glad that you liked it so much.
Run Chou Chou 21: Nope! Remember... Think Saiyan Conflict Saga...
C: Sure, I'll do a sequel. Thanks.
Leaf Zelindor: Moo!? Please don't hunt me down! Eheheheh... And nope, still nobody knows who Rom is... Saiyan Conflict Saga!
Mrs. Videl Son: Sure, here's your hint. Think Saiyan Conflict Saga... Oh and about the other part of your review. No matter how famous a person is, he'd still have his opposers, his unbelievers. And I'm going to have the Japanese jury system the same as the American one. Which means that the jury is made up of random citizens who are eligible for voting. Any citizens. And these ones happen to be a bit skeptical of Hercule's standings.
David: You know, I'm glad...
Rewzone: I'm glad you like it, and if you want the sequel, you got it!
Emmerz: For lack of better words... Thank you! *grins* Sure I'll do the sequel. And Rom is... In the Saiyan Conflict Saga! Bwahahaha! Well, your gym teacher seems wise...
DEE: Hmmm.... She WASN'T pregnant... She might be now.... Sure I'll update!
Strikeeagle: Why thank you. I tried to capture her emotions well.... And the sequel will be up sometime....
THE ONE: I'm not sure whether that was meant as a compliment or not, but thanks! And see, this chapter doesn't follow that same path.
Dark Emotionless Shadow: I always try to make things emotional.... BWAHAHAHA! And Y'know, I'm all right with you killing my jury.... Kill the bastards!
Village Idiot: Was this chapter sappy? Oh, and the sequel will DEFINITELY have sappy...
DarkAngel-Raven: Thank you... See, I updated!
Ranting Raving Jess: Wow, I can barely ever remember getting such unabashed praise from anyone... Why thank you...
Now, for everyone, because I know some of you stopped reading after I addressed you, I have something else I need to say. If anyone can guess who Rom is, I'll put them in the ficcy. Here's some hints:
@-Saiyan Conflict saga
@-He was very young, probably around five...
@-Here's a quote... "You mean you're five years old and you've never seen the ear test?!" -Rom
@-He only appeared in one episode.
@-I'm not sure if it was Rom saying this or someone else, but: "Help us Pigaro, Please help!"
Five hints... Now get reviewing....
