~Teen Years~
The crest of sun lowered in the placid sky. Clouds engulfing the last
of the sun light tough its rise and fall hours were still from over. In the
busy city, life and the hustle bustle of noises fill the streets. Schools
empty out across the streets with laughter and the cries of children of all
ages. On the roof tops of Orange Star High though, two figures stand alone.
Admiring the darkness set over the city, but taking it as a fearful warning
of upcoming events. The shorter of the two clings to the other teen, His
hair wavers and skimmers with the light winds and the girl holding to him
awes at the faded day.
"Why do you think the clouds are so dark?"
"I. I don't know. I've never seen something like this before" He replied. His voice light hearted but with a strong sense of worry to it. "I've got to get home now anyways Videl. If anything happens in the city I'll be sure to come back right away. If this is going on every where, mom is probably worried about me." Videl smiled a bit and nuzzled affectionately against Gohan's chest.
Whenever she was with him something about him just made her feel. safe. Maybe it was the fact that every single kid in the school thought that they where in love, thought they deny it themselves. Its still extremely simple to see there friendship is beyond just friends. Gohan brought his arm around Videl as she shifter her body in front of him and met his eyes. This was something Gohan was shy about doing but at least stopped blushing each time they did. His face used to turn beet-red.
As Videl leaned into Gohan she closed her eyes as her lips pressed together lightly. Gohan's arms wrapped around her body and pulled her lightly to him. After preserving the kiss for a few seconds Videl pulled away slowly and looked into his lucid blue eyes. She adored his eyes, they shimmered and skived with the light almost as if they weren't human. Which, in a way, they weren't.
Gohan's blood runs from to entirely different species. One human, the other called Saiyan. As being half Saiyan, Gohan's power and fighting ability grew extremely rapidly. Also factoring in the events that accrued two years ago his power grew even higher. Even though he is one of the strongest fighters in the world, he is never recognized as one. Except for a few family members and friends, Gohan's power is completely masked from existence. Though that was the way he wanted it. Gohan's family was poor yet wouldn't except the fan fair and attention they would receive.
Gohan slowly stepped away from Videl until only there hands were together.
"Videl?" He asked. His face a hint red.
"Yes Gohan?" Videl replied. She too was blushing as her hair streamed in the wind as the breeze kicked up a little. At first it didn't seam like Gohan was going to say anything but then he finally worked up the courage to speak.
"I want you to come with me." His face now a light shade of red and Videl could easily tell he was tremendously nervous. For a second Gohan thought that she was going to refuse but instead her hand gripped onto his and she pulled him back to her.
"Ok." She said. Something about the way she said it made Gohan even more nervous.
"But only if you kiss me again." She smiled at Gohan who acted like he was actually considering saying "no". Gohan leaned down to her again and they shared another kiss. As the kiss prolonged more then the first, so did the passion as they both began floating in the air. The wind picked up again and Videl's hair fell in front of her face. She pulled away and laughed lightly as Gohan brushed it away from her eyes.
"Come on." He said. And began floating away from Videl as she fallowed him slowly. Gohan was the person who taught her to fly 2 years ago and she mastered it in only a few days after taking her first flight. Though she had some slight problems, Gohan taught her how to avoid things such as strong wind in your eyes, or to simply ignore it.
"Where are we going?" She asked while cork screwing around Gohan expertly.
"Away from this place, its getting spooky and I just realized that Mom is at CC today with Goten. No one is going to be home for a few hours so there's nothing going in there. I want to show you a place near our house, if these clouds aren't over it too." He blushed again and Videl smiled as if she knew what he was planning.
"Ok" She stopped circling him and flew under him with her back pointing to the ground and her arms behind her head as if she was resting on a bed.
"Gohan?" The words escaped her mouth quizzically.
"Ya?" He flew down closer to Videl smiling.
"Why do you think these clouds have covered the sky? Be honest, I can tell when your lying" Her face was just slightly worried. Gohan became a little stern as well.
"As much as I can compensate is something evil is on its way. I wish there was more I could tell you but there is nothing right now." His voice defiantly scared Videl in a was she couldn't understand. Talk about another evil in this world simply scared her. The last monster, Buu, was bad enough. He nearly killed every living being on the planet. Herself and Gohan both fell to the monster as well. During the first confrontation Gohan was nearly killed. It just scared her to think of losing Gohan. He met everything to her thought she never admitted it to him yet.
"The cloud seems to start breaking away here." She motioned for Gohan to look us where the cloud reached the edge of its span over the city. They were also reaching the out skirts of the city as well. As they neared the forested area everything seemed safer, brighter. Videl felt a little less worried with the city behind them and she flew up to Gohan and hugged him strongly.
"Come on. We can get there faster if I just hold on tight" She smiled. Since she wasn't nearly as fast as Gohan, most often he would have to go much slower then his top speeds. When they needed to get some where fast Videl would hold Gohan's hand or hug on to him tightly.
"I'm in no rush."
"Oh come on. PLLEEEEEAAASSSSS' She begged.
"Uhh... Ok." He didn't seem to happy about getting to where ever he had planed on taking her but complied with her wishes anyways. He wrapped his arms around Videl and picked up speed. Videl smiled and tucked her head into his chest. She usually doesn't look down at the ground to see how fast they are really traveling because it makes her dizzy but just this once she decided to take a peek. The forest below was barely recognizable as a blur of different shades of green and light oranges. She quickly tucked her head back in his chest as Gohan started spinning in the air like a bullet and swoop over the treetops, leave ripping around them and they broke back into the sky. The altitude change was almost nauseating as they passed into the clouds but Videl was having the time of her life either way. As the flew into a deeper cloud she suddenly felt a pull against her stomach and then dropped altitude immediately Gohan broke threw the could bottom and the rush of wind whipped over his face. His eyes, unblinking, scanned the area as they started to slow down and descended. Videl started feeling a little sick in the stomach and she looked up at Gohan with a pale face.
"Why did you stop?" She asked and continued to cling to him.
"Were here." His reply was like his normal cheery self.
"Already?!" They never reached Gohan's house that fast before. She released him as he stopped in mid air and she looked to the ground. Sure enough only a quarter mile to there right was Gohan's house.
"That was fast." Her voice surprised. Maybe something made Gohan just want to get there quicker?
"Come on. I want to show you something." He grabbed Videl's hand and pulled her strait down. She tugged lightly against him as they passed into the think of the forest. Gohan landed and motioned for her to do the same. She landed next to him and he led her threw the woods.
"Where are we going?" She brushed a limb from her face and another rubbed off of her shoulder.
"Gohan?"
"Somewhere." He replied quickly.
"That doesn't help any, Gohan." She lowered her eyelids like she was squinting.
"Almost there." He seemed in a hurry to get were ever it seemed he needed to go. Videl couldn't understand what the rush was all about. Suddenly he yanked her arm and stopped. She grabbed her wrist and cringed for a second.
"Gohan! That hurt." He looked back at her apologetically.
"I'm sorry. were here." He stepped aside and held Videl's hand over his and examined her wrist. She on the other hand was staring at where they were.
A small silent waterfall on the far end of a hot spring fell lightly, purple flowers with golden ribbon like leaves grew around the waters edge on the right side. The ground seemed to turn into a light moss until it reached the edge of the steaming spring. The warmth from its waters licked off the trees over head.
"What is this?" She asked and looked at the beautiful small area. Gohan smiled and looked at her.
"It's a natural spring. I don't know how long its been here but I'm guessing quite a while." Videl turned and met Gohan's eyes.
"Its beautiful." She wrapped her arms around Gohan and smiled. Her eyes sparkled with the waters reflection of sunlight that creped overhead. Gohan slowly brought his arms around Videl and she moved closer to him. Her head tilted slightly and there lips met. Videl deepened the kiss into Gohan and pushed him back, he was pressed softly against a tree behind him and his arms squeezed around Videl tighter.
"Why do you think the clouds are so dark?"
"I. I don't know. I've never seen something like this before" He replied. His voice light hearted but with a strong sense of worry to it. "I've got to get home now anyways Videl.
