Chapter Three: Misfortune
~*~
"Real loss only occurs when you lose something that you love more than yourself."
~*~
Goten sat cross-legged on Gohan's bed, looking carefully through his brother's high school yearbook. Doing this 'chore', he almost hummed to himself while Gohan was doing his work at his desk. Goten made a semi-suspicious glare as he found his brother's picture in the yearbook. He let out laughter, "Ahaha, Gohan you look so funny!"
Gohan, who didn't pay much attention to what his brother got himself into, just nodded. Hopefully it'll make Goten shut up.
Goten frowned and walked to his brother, putting the book on his brother's desk, ignoring the huge amounts of paper work occupying the space. Pointing to the picture he yelled, "I said, you look funny!"
Gohan sighed and took a moment to look at the picture that had made Goten go crazy. He analyzed it and honestly, he didn't think he looked funny. Ah, kids these days. Flatly, Gohan stated, "I don't think I look funny."
Goten smiled inwardly. "Yeeaaahh suuure. Younger brother knows best."
Both men just stared at the page as an awkward silence filled the room.
Goten then pointed at a random girl and questioned his brother's memory, "Gohan, who's that?"
Gohan shifted his glasses. He should wear his contacts more often. "Who…her?" Gohan pointed at the girl.
Goten nodded.
"I think that's Cindy or Candy…something… I don't remember her last name."
Goten pointed at other various girls. Sadly, Gohan didn't quite remember who they were either.
Goten turned a couple of pages and found a certain raven haired girl. He innocently pointed to a shorthaired vixen named Videl.
Almost immediately Gohan replied, "Videl Satan."
Goten looked at Gohan as his brother shifted uncomfortably in his seat. "Why do you remember her name so well?"
Gohan put down his glasses. He found some odd sort of comfort seeing her picture blurry in the book, also finding that the memories and flashbacks were a little hard to take at the moment. Innocently, he stated, "She was my friend."
Goten nodded, knowing exactly what he was doing. "So she 'was' huh? What happened to her? Why don't I know her now?"
Gohan got up irritably and closed the book. "She moved away, that's all."
Goten was not pleased with his brother's answer, and it was probably for the best if he learned more about her. Frowning in a heart melting way, Goten asked nicely as possible, "Can you please tell me about her?"
Gohan looked at the boy and sighed. Why did he have to be so adorable, even when he was beginning his teenage years! He inhaled deeply and began, "She was my best friend. She was a fighter, a martial artist. Well that's because she's Hercules daughter." Biting on his lower lip, he tried to give away very little between their past. "Videl was a tomboy, but that didn't bother her." He hesitated and laughed a bit. "Dressing up and looking beautiful was NOT her thing."
Goten nodded and patiently waited for more.
Unfortunately for him Gohan didn't want to open up. "Goten I have work to do and you have school tomorrow. I think you should go to bed."
Goten fought hard to not mumble a string of curses under his breath. Angrily, he grabbed the yearbook and headed out of the room.
Gohan grunted as an indication of some sort, extending his arm out to reach the yearbook.
Goten sighed and handed him the book. Disappointedly, he headed out of the room again.
Gohan grunted once more as he held a fist out.
Goten walked up to him, seeing his fist, he knew what his brother was up to. Accepting the peace offering Goten hit the fist down with his own, then punched Gohan in the arm as he received the same blow. Smiling back at his brother, he knew it was probably too painful to open up. Saying "Goodnight" to Gohan, he ran away, looking fairly content.
Gohan smiled a bit as he put on his glasses. He thought twice about it but still opened the book, turning to the page where Videl's picture was. Running his fingers affectionately over her face, he thought to himself, "Why did you leave me?" Sighing, he said out loud, "I wonder what you are doing now." He then looked at his family pictures, including one containing the Z Senshi. Speaking out loud again, he asked, "I wonder what all of you guys are doing now?"
-*-
He walked down the long hall. Hands casually tucked in his pockets with a huge grin planted on his face for he had no reason to be unhappy. For once, things were looking up for him.
He was famous.
He got his baseball career on track.
He quit his rowdy social life, and finally decided to settle down... especially with the right woman.
He wore a neat bluish-black casual suit as he hair was somewhat spiked up. Tanned a bit, he was handsome. Even his scar made him seem sexy in some odd way.*
He made short uninterested glances at the giggling girls that passed him as he focused on the path that led to her. Flowers were thrown around as cheering and laughter filled the room in celebration. Unexpectedly, someone pulled him down so he had to sit and wait for her to come. Impatiently he took a glass of wine and waited.
As time passed he grew even more irritated. Stubborn and impatient, he got up and slammed the glass on the pearl like floor, making it shatter. Everyone froze and stared at him, as if he was crazy. Satisfied by catching their attention, he smirked, saying, "Where is she?"
No one knew where she could be as they just stared back at him.
"Hey! Control your temper!"
He turned back at the speaker and saw her… Beautiful and breath taking than ever… "Well, I wanted to see you and you took to long so I had to find some way to see you…"
She swayed her hips as she walked to him, noticing that the room was still quiet. "Well here I am."
He couldn't believe how lucky he was. He finally found a beautiful girl. Well all of them were pretty, but this one was different. She was…just…beautiful.
He hadn't noticed that he had zoned out by looking at this goddess before him, but soon snapped back into reality as he flinched a bit when the music came on. His focused immediately went back on her.
She smiled coyly as she swayed her hips rhythmically and smoothly. He himself couldn't stop as he extended his hand to her. She again made a smirk as her blue eyes twinkled in the light. She flicked her long black silky hair back and turned to the side a bit, playing hard to get. He couldn't believe how much her makeup made her sparkle even more. "Come on, we're getting engaged. How can you refuse your future husband?"
Her jewelry jingled a bit as she moved back and then ran, giggling in amusement as she saw him follow her.
To him it seemed like running forever but soon she had nowhere to go. She turned and found…her mother? Uh oh… He crashed right into her mother, as she was untouched since she hid behind the elder woman. He had fallen and she just happily laughed. Good. That's what matter. Keeping her happy.
She was still swaying to the beat and he had to admit, she looked very sexy. The clothes she was wearing didn't help his self control for it showed much of her curves and her exceptionally good figure. She brought her mother up, and then extended her hand to him.
He grinned a bit and pulled her down beside him. He then got up and brushed off his clothes.
Her jaw dropped as she began her tirade. "You loser! I was trying to help and you just pushed me down? What the hell was that for?!." Pausing a bit, she cleared her throat before yelling, "What kind of sore loser are you?" It was obvious that she was very angry.
He almost sweat drop but made an effort not to laugh. "I'm sorry." He himself dropped to the floor and leaned in for a kiss.
She just said 'humph' and turned around, making his lips head for her cheek.
He frowned sadly. "Aww, come on babe, I was joking!"
She crossed her arms and got up. "You're supposed to be my groom right?"
He nodded and slowly brought himself on his feet.
She smiled deviously, resting her hands on her hips. Leaning over a bit, she seductively whispered for only him to hear. "Then dance for me, Yamcha."
*-*
Bulma bit on her lower lip as she finished reading Chichi's letter. As expected, she folded the letter, then handing it back to Goten.
Goten pouted and made his best puppy dog face as possible. "Bulma can you help me?" He knew he needed Bulma's help.
Trunks, who was helping Goten on his mission, also made his best puppy dog face. "Yeah mom, puh-lease!"
Bulma sighed, looking a bit irritated. Trying to divert their attention, she asked, "Don't you kids have homework?"
Both boys shrugged and continued to break Bulma's defenses.
She sighed again. "Alright, I will help. I suggest we seek her friends…or Gohan's friends that was close to Videl…"
All three off them sat back and thought about it. Did Gohan have any friends?
Goten scratched the back of his head. "In the letter this girl named Erasa was supposedly Videl's friend."
Trunks exclaimed happily, "Yeah! I bet she would know where Videl is!"
*-*
Bulma asked nicely as she possibly can. "Do you know where Videl is?"
Erasa shook her head. "I'm sorry, Videl told me not to tell anyone where she is!"
Bulma frowned and impatiently tapped her foot on the ground. She then whistled.
As a result to Bulma's call, Goten and Trunks both came into the room in unison.
Erasa almost passed out because of their 'handsomeness'. Yeah, she's still a ditz.
Trunks and Goten were…very handsome. Goten had the innocent boyish look while Trunks had the "I'm-damn-sexy" look, a similar look to a porn star, especially with the black tank top he was wearing. Erasa needed an oxygen tank.
Goten paid no heed to Erasa's state as he bit his lower lip, trying to make it quiver. "Erasa, please help us." Uncertain to say anything of his mission, he said, "I'm Gohan's brother."
Erasa gasped as she fought to stand up straight.
Finding there was nothing else to say or do, Goten reluctantly told Erasa his duty. Hopefully, it'll help. Goten hesitated once and finished his story. "I need to find Videl, please, do it for me."
Erasa glanced at the older boy and looked back at Goten. "Ok ok, just because your Gohan's younger cute brother and because Gohan's lonely, I'll help. But you can't tell her that I told you… I'm not even sure where she is or what she's up to now!" She muttered to herself as she looked around the living room for her address/telephone book. Once finding it she looked under Satan, Videl. She then picked up her cordless phone and dialed the number. Moments later Erasa got Videl's new address and new phone number and so Erasa quickly scribbled it on a piece of paper. After some sentimental gush and some flashbacks, she hung up. She slowly turned at the trio and wondered if she should tell them the news or what. She whispered, "I'm sorry…" Her face had scrunched up in sorrow and sympathy.
Bulma asked, "For what?"
Looking a bit scared, Erasa just spat out, "Videl is engaged."
Goten stiffened.
Trunks almost sighed out of frustration.
Bulma could just shrug it off, as she knew there are many ways to break it off. "Ugh, do you know who the lucky man is?" She extended her hand for the piece of paper.
Erasa handed her the paper and spoke softly. "I think his name is… Kangi…no wait. That's not right. Hmm…Chumchi...grr. What is it?"
Goten and Trunks sweat dropped.
Bulma impatiently waited.
Erasa scratched the back of her head as she smiled happily. "I remember it now!" she exclaimed.
Goten, Trunks, and Bulma asked rudely, "What?" it wasn't their fault that they were irritated enough.
"Yajarobie!"
Goten, Trunks and Bulma face faulted in unison. "Are you sure that's it?"
The blonde bit her nails. "Oh, wait, it's Yamcha, my bad!"**
*-*
-* Don't scars make some of them look sexy? I mean why do you think I'm obsessed with Bardock and Future Gohan? That doesn't mean Yamcha is though… he's just here for the story and I know what a lot of people hate him. I also realize that you guy's probably started to hate me! Well I guess the hating begins…
** I bet you saw that coming—I think. Or not. Yes, you should know that I'm full of surprises. It could be a bad thing—but I'm counting for a good thing.

Important Notes:
First off, I'd like to thank all my reviewers. You have no idea how special I felt. Your love actually made me stay away from that infernal gun. Anywho, to all my reviewers I have not forgotten those chocolate covered Buu cookies *hands them out* I appreciate you all who take time to harass me to update!
If you review this chapter, I'm going to give Chibi Goten Chocolate cookies. I know no one can resist his ADORBALE CUTE CHOCOLATE FACE!
Secondly, in case you haven't noticed I update every Sunday night but you know what, since I love you all, I'll make a deal with you. If you review and tell me nicely that you'd rather have a new chapter out sooner than 7 days let me know. Because I written the whole thing but I have to edit it—so…depending how long each chapter is, is how many days you have to wait. But don't worry if it's over 7 pages, because the longest anyone will wait is one week. If I get no response (or too very little) then it's going to be every Sundays. If I get over 20 people who want that then of course I'm going to do it. If not, then screw it. It'll just give me more time to write my two newest stories ("The Sound of Pleasure" [G/CC] and "Tainted Blood" [G/V] …and some time to write a new chapter of "Unforgettable" (which none of you have read *frowns disappointedly*))
Lastly, when you review I'd be nice if you can tell me what you think about what has happened so far. It's constructive for me in a way…hard to explain, but just trust me…
Aright I guess that's it for now! Hope you enjoyed reading chapter 3 and be back next Sunday!
Feedback, praises, and hungry people are all wanted!
Love you guys to death,
Goku's Daughter
Kiss kiss
