Storm: Holy shniekies it's been awhile. I apologize profusely for the long wait, but I've been really busy and I'm just a lazy guy. But anyway, here's the next chapter. A bit on the short side, but I promise there's more to come soon. Oh yeah, check out my other original story, Leonidus.
Videl's eyes opened slowly and she pulled away from Gohan, grinning softly. He rolled off of her, and climbed out of the river, offering Videl a hand to help her out. She took it, and walked over to pick up her sopping shirt. She shook her head at it, and bent over to pick it up. She pulled the dripping garment over her head, raising her ki slightly to dry herself off. She walked over to where Gohan had situated himself against a rock, and sank slowly into his lap. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her slowly. Their kiss was cut short however, by what sounded like a large, stupid animal trampling its way through the woods. (A/N: Ahem. Bet you can't guess who's coming…) Hercule leapt over a bush and flew into the clearing, much to the surprise of Videl and Gohan.
"Videl! Where are you?!" Hercule boomed across the clearing, not seeing her and Gohan just behind him. Videl cursed softly and ducked into the woods. Before Gohan could follow, however, he was spotted by Hercule.
"Hey! You! You're the punk who stole my daughter! It was just a fluke that you beat me earlier – a lucky break really. I could beat you with my eyes closed! You know…" Gohan sighed as Hercule continued to ramble on. "So anyway, now we fight!" Hercule finished, and launched himself at Gohan. Gohan sighed again and sidestepped, poking Hercule in the back as he flew past. Hercule slammed into the ground, winded and unconscious. Gohan grinned and ran off to find Videl. He located her shortly, and explained that her father was on the ground in the meadow unconscious.
"You beat him again?!" Videl exclaimed. "How'd you do it?" (A/N: Um let's see I know I put that Videl knows Gohan is a Saiya-jin, but let's assume, to make the story more interesting, that she doesn't know he's super strong, only that he can shoot energy. Alright? Alright.)
"Um…he tripped on a rock…and um…uh…fell and…went to unconsciousness?" Gohan stammered. "Um…yes…that's what happened."
"You're a really bad liar, Son Gohan. I know you're hiding something from me. And unless you tell me, I'm going to have to punish you." With that, she flung her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply. He wrapped one arm around her waist and scooped her legs up with the other, and lifted gently into the air, soaring towards home.
A/N: Hey all. Please review, and LEAVE ME ANY IDEAS YOU MAY HAVE. Thanks all, peace, and Happy Holidays.
