~Live The Darkness~
A/N: This is an alternate universe where the Tournament and Buu sagas
just never happened. Gohan and Videl got together and have been going out for months
now. Videl is still in the dark on the whole, 'alien who beat cell' thing. Oh, and
even though they've been dating for several months, they never kissed. This will be
rather depressing.

Videl landed in the Son's front yard. She was going to surprise Gohan by showing up.
She knew he hadn't been expecting her, but she just wanted to be around him, so that
morning she had just taken off. She began walking over to the river that ran near the
house, and the river that she could hear Gohan and Goten laughing at. She rounded the
side of the house just in time to watch Gohan fall flat on his back in a puddle of
mud.
Gohan looked up from where he lay and grinned sheepishly at Videl. "Um.. Hi Videl! I
didn't know you were coming over today!" he said, standing up with the mud dripping
from his clothes.
"Apparently you didn't know. Who's that? Is that Goten?" she asked as a small pile
of mud seemed to get up and walk over to stand next to Gohan.
"Umm.. Yeah. We were just throwing the mud around," Gohan said. He reached down and
wiped the mud off of his brother's face. "So... Watcha' doin' here?" Gohan asked. He
walked over and dove into the river, then came back up to listen to her. The mud
began to dissolve into the water and his clothes became cleaner. He leaned back with
his hands behind his head and waited for her answer.
Videl just laughed. "Nothing much, I just wanted to come see you. Is that a crime?"
she asked.
"Well, if you just wanted to come see me and then kill me then it could be a crime,
but no, otherwise it's not," Gohan laughed.
Videl walked over to the edge of the water and sat on a rock near the bank. She
smiled as she watched Gohan desperately try and get all of the dirt out of his hair.
"Isn't your mather gonna be just a little pissed at what Goten looks like?" she
questioned.
Gohan glanced up at her before climbing out of the river. He walked over to Goten
and picked the child up. He then walked over to the river and dropped the chibi person
into it.
Goten yelled and sputtered. He grinned at Gohan and gathered his energy. When it was
high enough, he let it loose and the water splashed up at his niisan. He laughed as
the water soaked Gohan even farther.
Gohan shook his head and raised his ki to dry his clothes. His hair dried and stuck
up at odd angles again. "Arigato, Goten. You can be so nice sometimes," Gohan said
sarcastically. He grinned at his ototo, who just grinned back. "Videl, you wanna go
for a walk?" Gohan asked.
Videl considered this for a moment. "Iie, Gohan. I have some questions to ask you.
We've been going out for some time now, and I know you're still hiding some things
from me. If you can't trust me, then I don't think we can still go out. Please, Gohan.
You know that you can trust me. I care about you, and I don't want to have to break
up with you, but I will," she finished.
Gohan stared for a minute. "Please, Videl. I don't think I could handle breaking up
with you, but even if I told you you'd probably break up with me. Please, I just
don't really feel ready," Gohan pleaded.
Videl glared at him. "I can't believe you!" She yelled. "Gomen, Gohan. I can't be
with someone who doesn't trust me," she said as she began walking away. One lonely tear
fell down her cheek.
"Iie, Videl, wait!" Gohan yelled. He ran to catch up with her as she stopped. "Videl,
it's not that I don't trust you, but if that's what I need to do to get you to trust me,
I'll tell you. Believe me, i'd rather die than lose you," Gohan said. "Please, will you
give me one more chance?" he begged.
"Hai, Gohan, but only one," she responded.
Gohan sighed. He knew that he would have to tell her eventually, he just wasn't ready
today. He heard Goten run up behind him.
"Niisan, are you really gonna tell her?" Goten asked.
Gohan nodded, "Hai, now go inside the house. Videl and I are going for a little walk so
that we can talk, okay?"
Goten looked between his niisan and Videl. "I guess," he muttered.
Gohan watched his ototo walk into the house and then he turned to Videl. "Let's go. We
should probably find a nice place to talk. If everything goes right, this should take a
while," Gohan said. He placed his hand around hers, and the two began walking in silence.
After a few minutes they entered a field. There was a large rock near the treeline, and
Gohan walked over to it so that they could both sit on it.
"Alright, Gohan, you've kept me in the dark enough, now spill!" she said. She wondered
what could be so terrible that Gohan had waited until she nearly forced him to tell her.
Gohan swallowed a few times before he spoke. "Videl, umm.. Where do I start? Well, let's
start with the one that you will probably have the easiest time with," he said.
Videl's fingers tapped impatiently. "Soo.. there's more than one, hmmph."
Gohan sighed. "Videl, your father, he... he didn't defeat Cell," Gohan stuttered, he
glanced over to see what her reaction was, and wasn't surprised when she just looked
bored. "I did..." he studied her reaction this time. He watched her eyes widen and her
gaze became fixed on him. "Hai, before you even say it, I know I was just a little kid.
That kind of leads me to my next secret. Well, you see, I.. um.. oh god this is hard,"
Gohan cursed. "Videl, my otosan is an alien. I'm half-alien. My okasan is definitely
Ningen. My otosan's race was called the Saiya-jins, and the planet that they used to be
on was called Vegetasei. There's more... The Saiya-jins are a warrior race. They
literally have unlimited capabilities, and, although other races are extremely powerful,
not many can compare to the Saiya-jins. After every battle or serious injury, a Saiya-jin
becomes more powerful. There was a legend on the planet Vegetasei about a Super Saiya-jin.
there hadn't been a Super Saiya-jin in over 3000 years until I was six. We were in pretty
deep against someone, and when my otosan got angry, he just seemed to explode. He became
a Super Saiya-jin right then. Vegeta was next, followed by, well, me..." Gohan hadn't
looked at Videl at all during the last part of his explanation, and he didn't now, either.
Instead he stood up and then began powering up. He let out a short yell, and in one
brilliant flash of light, he stood before her with golden hair and turquoise eyes. He
finally looked over to study her reaction.
Videl simply stared. It wasn't even really what he had told her that was so startling,
although it was definitely some food for thought, it was the fact that he had hid so much
from her. She had just as much right to know about all this as anyone else.
"Videl, there's a few more things I need to tell you, but first I need to say-" Gohan
started, but he was interrupted.
"Iie, Gohan, I can't take this. I don't want to hear another word. Please, I can't
believe you would hide something like this from me! Even if you can trust me, I don't
think I can trust you. Gomen, I have to go. I... I don't think we should see each other
anymore. Have a nice life," she said. Tears fell freely from her eyes. "Please don't
chase after me, that won't help you any..." she said as she lifted into the air.
Gohan stared after her. "I... I... I was just going to say... I love you..."

Well, what do ya think? I always get reviews correcting my grammar, because I never
capitalize, sooo... LEAVE ME ALONE! I know that it was kind of dull this time, but don't
worry, I'm gonna make it more depressing and suspense-filled.
