Threats
Chapter Three: Goku the Detective!
Gohan woke up, thanks to the bright light flowing through his window. He
tightened his arm around Videl, wanting to go back to sleep, but his stomach's loud
growling told him different. It woke Videl up, too, and Gohan was privileged enough to
be the first thing her beautiful Cerulean eyes saw.
"Morning, Gohan," she said quietly.
"Good morning," Gohan replied, giving Videl a short kiss.
"I don't want to get up yet. Tell your stomach to shut up," Videl commanded playfully.
Gohan decided to wait on breakfast, for the moment, to be with Videl alone for a few
minutes.
Gohan wrapped his arms around Videl's waist, nipping at her ear. Videl turned her head
so their lips touched instead. After a long kiss, Gohan said, "Let's go eat. We have to
ask my parents about 'Operation PMPV.'"
"But we'll keep the title to ourselves, right?" Videl asked.
"Of course, my precious Videl," Gohan replied, kissing her once more. They walked out
to the kitchen, bracing themselves for the teasing that was sure to come. They reached
the sacred room of food, seeing the familiar scene of Chi-Chi cooking.
With a knowing smile on her face, Chi-Chi asked, "So, you two have a good sleep?"
"Um...uh...hehe...um..." Gohan managed, rubbing the back of his head as a blush rose
up in his cheeks.
"H-how'd you kn-know?" Videl stuttered, blushing, as well.
"Goku said your energy signals were very close together. So, should I be expecting
grandchildren soon?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Mom! We just slept in the same bed...it's not like we...um...you know..." Gohan
trailed off uneasily.
"I know, I know. But you are officially dating now, right?" Chi-Chi asked.
"Um, yeah, I guess," Videl said as Gohan nodded.
Chi-Chi didn't say another word, returning to her cooking as she thought, ::One step
closer to grandkids...::
During breakfast, Gohan asked if Videl could stay at the Son house 'til she was 'in the clear', and Chi-Chi gladly said yes.
"Thanks, Mom," Gohan said.
"But now we have to get permission from my dad," Videl pointed out after they all finished eating.
"I don't see why he would say no. Besides the whole 'No dating his daughter' thing," Gohan replied.
"Well, sooner's better than later, I guess. We should probably go now before I lose all my courage," Videl said.
"Okay," Gohan said. They were soon flying toward Satan city, Videl nervous as heck, Gohan trying to calm her down.
"Videl, it'll be fine. I'm sure he'll say yes," Gohan reassured her. They soon got to the city, touching down at the edge of the city, beginning the walk to Videl's house. They soon arrived, finding Hercule in one of the many rooms.
"Good morning, Videl," Hercule said, seeing his daughter, but not yet noticing Gohan.
"'Good morning?' Didn't you know I was gone last night?" Videl asked incredulously.
"You were gone?" Hercule asked. He cleared his throat, trying to cover his surprise by saying, "Er, of course I knew. And I am very interested to know where you were, exactly?"
"My boyfriend's house," Videl replied defiantly.
"You don't have a boyfriend," Hercule stated.
"I do know," Videl said. She grabbed Gohan's hand, pulling him further into the room.
"How many time's have I told you to stay away from my daughter?" Hercule half-roared at the demi-Saiyan.
"Um...47...no, 48," Gohan replied with a grin.
"You little punk," Hercule muttered.
"What? You asked me a question," Gohan stated.
"Gohan, this is not a good time to get on my dad's nerves," Videl pointed out quietly.
"Sorry," the demi-Saiyan said with a sheepish grin.
"Dad, I have to ask you something really important, okay?" Videl said to her father.
"Yes?" Hercule asked in reply.
"Since you've decided not to do anything about the people trying to hurt me, Gohan's parents are letting me stay at their house, where it's safer. But I need permission from you first," Videl explained.
"Absolutely not! I am not letting my little girl live at that punk's house!" Hercule shouted.
"Then fess up about Buu!" Videl retorted.
"No. You are staying here, and that's final," Hercule said.
"Mr. Satan, please! My dad, Goten and I can keep Videl safer than a padlock on her window," Gohan argued.
"No! I'm not letting Videl stay in a house full of dangerous aliens! Especially that freak father of yours! He's from outer space, for Dende's sa-"
Hercule never got to finish, though, because at the words 'freak father,' Gohan...was feeling a bit angry. In half the blink of an eye, he had Hercule by the throat.
"Gohan!" Videl exclaimed.
"Don't call my Dad a freak! And he's not dangerous, either! He's saved the world countless times, giving up his life twice for Earth and everyone on it, even people like you, who don't appreciate every thing he's done for you," Gohan said, practically snarling as he tightened his grip on Hercule's neck.
"Gohan, let him go. He may be a jackass, but he's my dad, and I love him," Videl said, putting a hand on Gohan's arm. Gohan sighed, somewhat disappointed, as he dropped Hercule.
"Just so you know, Hercule, if you insult my father again, I'm gonna hurt you...very, very badly. And I'll get some Sensu beans so I can beat you up again and again," Gohan warned.
Hercule gulped, and nervously replied, "O-okay...I understand. And Videl, y-you can go to his house."
"Thanks, Dad. You're making the right choice," Videl said, leading the way for Gohan to her room, so she could pack clothes and stuff.
^^^^^^^^
Chi-Chi waved to Gohan and Videl as they flew off to school the next morning. She walked back inside the tiny house, to the kitchen, where Goku was finishing his breakfast.
"Goku, I've decided. Since that good-for-nothing bast-...I mean, man, won't do anything, you are going to figure out who's been hurting Videl," she said.
"Wha-? Me? Why me?" Goku asked.
"Because Gohan has to stay close to Videl, and Goten's too young," Chi-Chi replied.
"Wouldn't it be easier just to get the dragonballs and erase Earth's memory of Buu?" Goku asked.
"No," Chi-Chi said, "We can't. We don't know where the dragon radar is, because Bulma never found it after Earth was wished back. She's been working on a new one."
"Oh, okay then. I'll be Goku the Detective!!!" the Saiyan exclaimed. He ran down the hall to his and Chi-Chi's room, coming back a few seconds later in a trench coat and brown hat, his spiky hair making it lie lopsided on his head.
Chi-Chi sweat-dropped and thought, ::Sorry, Videl. This is the best we have to work with...::.
^Satan residence, same day^
"As far as I can gather, the only person it could have been is a Z fighter. Knowing you didn't beat Buu, being stronger than Videl, and being able to hide energy. But that's impossible. None of the Z fighters would do that to Videl," Goku said, sitting across from Hercule in the living room.
Hercule hadn't really been paying attention to him until that comment. ::I know they wouldn't do that, but do the cops?:: he thought.
In the next chapter of Threats: "WHAT?!? What do you mean he's under arrest?"
Contest time!!! The first person to figure out who the 'bad guys' are gets a part in the fic! And I'll even give you a hint!
There's two of them, they are real characters, and they are both male.
