~Live the Darkness~
Videl sat with her head on the edge of the chair. She had woken up sometime later to find
herself alone in the house with Gohan's corpse. She had gone over to his desk and sat down
in his chair backwards, with her arms resting on the back. A while later she had faced the
chair away from Gohan, unable to stare at him any longer, and this is where she remained
up through now.
Her gaze flickered to the clock and she glared at it. It read 5:23 P.M.. She had been waiting
for hours, dying inside every time another minute passed by. She wondered how she could
have ever been so petty as to do something like this to him. It was her fault, all because
she had to be selfish and leave him. A stifled sob arose from her throat again. She had
been waiting for Goku to come back and tell her how they could possibly bring Gohan back
to life. She had faced death before, her mother had died in a truly terrifying way, and
Videl knew that it was impossible to revive the dead... It had to be... Didn't it?
She was dragged from her thoughts when she thought she heard some thing, but she simply
ignored it. However, she couldn't ignore it when something blue was dropped into her lap.
Startled, she glared at it, then whirled around to tell whoever it was to fuck off. As
her eyes landed on their target though, her mouth became dry, and when she spoke she knew
her voice was cracked.
"G-Gohan? AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! GOHAN!" she screamed, running toward the figure
standing behind her. Halfway across the room she stopped, as the figure backed away from
her and into the wall. Videl stared at Gohan's face, unable to control herself. She
finally noticed that he was sweating profusely and his face was now a brilliant shade
of red. "Gohan, what is it? I swear, I was wrong to leave you, I won't ever do it again.
Please, you have to forgive me. I really need you," she said, assuming that this was the
reason he had backed himself into the wall.
Gohan nodded his head fervently and swallowed several times. He let his eyes move down
to her torso and back up to meet her eyes.
She looked down to find that she was wearing what she had worn to bed the previous
night, which wasn't much... Blushing she held hands up to cover herself, finally noticing
that what had fallen in her lap had been a blue t-shirt. Gratefully she quickly pulled
the too-large shirt over her head and over her grey sports bra. Although the shirt was
a bit big for her, it did cover her up pretty well, only one shoulder was left bare.
Gohan found himself calming down quite a bit now, and he wondered what her reaction would
be to his return. While he was in other world, he had been searching for his otosan, but
none of the ogres that he asked had been much of a help, and he had been wished back before
he found his otosan.
Videl shrugged off her embarassment and let herself run forward and wrap her arms around
his waist. She looked up at him with tears filling the sapphire eyes, and she held onto
him even tighter. "You... Kami Gohan, I love you..." she whispered. "Gomen Gohan. Gomen
nasai, please forgive me. I was scared, but not half as scared as when I thought I had lost
you," Videl cried into his shirt.
"Shhh... I should be asking you to forgive me. I know that I should have told you, but if
you're willing to forgive me, we could go on like nothing happened," Gohan said while
pulling Videl up even closer to his body. He leaned down and let his lips brush hers. It
was a hesitant caress, as though he were asking whether she would kill him if he kissed her.
Recieving no protest, he lowered his lips over hers once more, kissing her fully this time.
He could feel her arms leave his waist and move up to his neck. They stayed like that for
only a few seconds, but time seemed to have stopped, so for both of them it felt like
forever and a day. Still, when they pulled away, the time seemed too short, as though if
they were to spend an eternity together, it still wouldn't be long enough. "I love you..."
Gohan whispered.
Videl's tear-filled eyes remained fixed into his. "I love you too," she breathed.
"You know Videl, I may never let you go," Gohan said.
"You know, I may not let you even if you try," she mumbled into his shirt.
Gohan suddenly tightened his body and his hold on Videl increased. "Otosan?" he
questioned. "Great, I guess I've just been imagining everything," his voice was soft.
"Iie, Gohan. Goku really is back, He's the one who told your family that they needed to
revive you... I know you're gonna want to talk with your otosan, but after that you still
have some explaining to do. Don't worry, though. I think I can take it, and if I start to
get nervous, just hold me, okay?" she said.
Gohan nodded. "Not like I'd let go of you in the first place, but come on, I wanna see my
dad again!" Gohan said, walking forward with his arm resting comfortably on her hip, and her
arm wrapped around his waist. As they rounded the corner, Gohan could feel the rest of
his family waiting in the kitchen.
Goten wasn't going to wait any longer, though, and the second he saw his niisan's foot he
charged and leapt, knocking Gohan, Videl and himself all to the floor.
Gohan's arm remained around Videl's waist, and he sat up, grinning at the kodomo before
him. "Hey, how are you?" Gohan asked, nonchalantly.
Goten sat there, staring at his niisan for a minute before giggling. He clapped two hands
over his mouth. "Gohan, do you looooovvvvve her?" Goten asked, expecting his brother to
blush and deny it, the way he had done so many times before.
Before Gohan had any sort of reaction, though, Goku had walked forward, and now held a hand
out to his eldest son. "Hey, Gohan. It's been a while, hasn't it?" Goku asked, while staring
at Gohan.
Gohan felt the heat sting the corners of his eyes as he met his otosan's gaze. Gohan gulped
to try and swallow the lump in his throat... No such luck. "H-hey, otosan. It's been a
little too long," Gohan barely managed to get out.
Goku grinned and wrapped his powerful arms around his son for a moment before pulling back
and grinning. He opened his mouth to say something about the couple before him, but Chichi
interjected.
"Oh my kami, Gohan my poor baby! What did you do to yourself?" Chichi yelled, running
toward him.
Goku put a hand out and caught her in his wild embrace before she could break the pair up.
He held her there until she calmed down enough, and he placed her back down on her feet.
Goten looked between all four of the people around him. "Niisan, you still have to answer
me! Do you looooove her?" Goten repeated in a singsong voice.
Gohan startled everyone by not blushing, and actually pulling Videl closer. "Yes, Goten,
I do," Gohan replied.
Goten stared for a few seconds before sticking his finger in his mouth and making gagging
noises.
Chichi glared at the clock and then squealed. "Oh my goodness, I need to cook supper.
Videl, you're staying here for dinner, do you hear me?" Chichi commanded. Before Videl even
had time to protest, Chichi was already walking back into the kitchen.
Videl shook her head before leaning in against Gohan. Goku began walking into the living
room, asking Gohan questions about anything and everything, and Gohan and Videl obediently
followed. Goku sat down in a chair across from them while Gohan and Videl sat on the couch.
"So Goten's a Super Saiyan, huh? King Kai left out that little detail," Goku stated with a
grin.
Gohan laughed. "How'd you find out?"
"Long story, but we've got a little while, so I guess I could tell ya," Goku answered.
"May I say something?" Videl interrupted.
"Absolutely!" Goku responded.
"Actually, I just need to remind Gohan that he still has some explaining to do later
on... Understood?" she asked, her eyes flickering to Gohan, who gulped and nodded.
Goku grinned, watching his son squirm under this woman's glare.
* * *
It was sometime later, and the clock was going on eleven P.M. as Videl sat next Gohan on the
couch, listening as he finished the last little details of his life. She shivered and began
sweating. He was making her nervous, the fact that he could probably kill her with a breath
was making her shift uncomfortably. "Umm..." was the only word she managed.
Gohan pulled her even closer."I love you, and the last thing I would ever do is try to hurt
you. Don't worry, I'm here for you," Gohan whispered into her ear, his warm breath tickling
her cheek.
"Like I said earlier, just hold me," she responded. He held her like this until Goku walked
into the room while stretching and yawning, and the pair looked up at him.
"Hey, Gohan, I think I need get going..." Videl muttered, she didn't really want to leave
Gohan's arms.
"Hey, how about I fly you home at least, Okay?" Gohan asked hopefully.
"Umm... Sure!" Videl answered.
The pair stood up, entwined in each other's arms. They headed toward the door and finally
leapt into the mid-night sky. Gohan raised his ki to warm her body, even though it was early
summer, the nights were still chilly. They flew in silence until they reached the edge of
the Satan property. Gohan landed near the gate and the pair walked slowly toward the guards.
"Miss Videl! We were afraid you had been kidnapped!" came one guard's voice.
"Iie, I'm fine. I guess you could say I just went out with a friend last night. But anyways,
I'm real tired and I'm not in the mood to deal with 20 questions, so don't let anyone into
my room, understand?" Videl responded.
The guard nodded. He certainly wasn't going to defy Videl, especially if she was in a bad
mood, that could be fatal.
"Arigato," she said.
Gohan held onto her wrist firmly, but not tightly as he lifted into the air again, and he
landed on her balcony.
Videl pulled him inside of her room, shutting the glass door to the balcony. "It was too
damn cold out there," she stated. She finally seemed to notice the shirt she was wearing.
"Oh, I'll give this to one of the maids to clean and then get it back to you, okay?"
Gohan shook his head. "Iie, you can keep it. I know it's a little big, but hell, I guess
you could use it as a nightshirt. Umm..." Gohan began to squirm uncomfortably, "I guess
this is goodnight then," Gohan said, looking at the floor.
"Well, yeah, I guess so..." She answered.
Gohan's eyes lifted and met hers. Their faces were inches apart and moving closer, before
their lips fnally brushed each other again. Videl's hands moved around Gohan's neck, while
his hands found a comfortable resting spot on her lower back. They remained like this for
a few more minutes before their kiss became more passionate, and the couple moved toward
the bed. Gohan pulled Videl even closer as their lips clashed and their eyes continued to
remain fixed by the other. The couple collapsed onto the bed, entwined in each other's
embrace, neither willing to let go...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wait a second, this is like the third update in one weekend, What am I on?!
No, I don't write smut, that is totally out of the question. Yech!
Anyways, what was this?! Gohan and Videl making love by night?! But
don't they have school tomorrow?! Bwahahaha...
I absolutely love G/V romances, but they're even better when you get
to hurt them emotionally, so that's what this ficcy is mostly about,
destroying the only sanity that either of them had.
Oh! I forgot to disclaim the song 'Goodbye To You' by Michelle Branch
in the last chapter, so here, I don't own it.
