We Meet Again
Chapter Nine: I'm a Poet, Dontcha Know It
@Satan Residence 3:00 P.M.@
It was getting around time for Kat and Melanie to come over. Videl was getting
ready for their arrival all morning. Her dad was gone to another conference to
they had the day to themselves.
Videl went with a Pac Sun shirt that said Anti- Crombie and
Fitch, blue jeans, black converses, and her stub belt. She then got her dragon
necklace and placed it on her neck. She ran downstairs and went to the living
room.
'Poor little chibi's, after uncle Takeru died in the accident. Gosh, and the
kids had to see it.' Videl thought with a sigh.
She loved her uncle dearly, like a second father. And her aunt was like her
mother. Thank Kami her aunt was alive and well to take care of Kat and Melanie.
She was supposed to meet them anytime soon.
Just as soon as she thought it the doorbell rang. Videl
raced to the door and opened it. Who stood there was her cute twin cousins.
"Hey you two! Come on in!" Videl said eagerly.
Both stepped in and followed Videl to the study. They took a seat and Videl
stared at them.
The first girl had pure black hair with blue streaks. Her
ears consisted of three piercing on each ear. Her eyes were cat like with a
smudge of orange, blazed with hatred to the world. She had a scar across her
right eye. Her personality was wonderful. She was clever, smart, and full of
pride. Her attire consisted of punkish clothes. This young girl was Kat.
The other girl also had pure black hair, but instead had read streaks. Her ears
were pierced with one on each and a top earring on her earlobe. There was a
long scar across her forehead. She had a glare of intensity with the color of
brown. Her eyes were so dark they were mistaken as a black hole of eternity.
The personality was interesting. She also was clever, charming, and prideful of
herself and accomplishments. She too had worn a blouse and baggy jeans. This
chibi was known as Melanie.
Videl was so irritated and decided to break the silence that
overwhelmed the room. "So how are you guys?" Videl asked.
"Were fine, just a little excited to go to the poetry reading,"
Melanie had said with a mix of pain yet you could still hear some happiness.
"What about you Kat, how have you been?"
Kat looked up at Videl, but didn't answer. Both Kat and Melanie were mute since
the accident months ago.
They had been in the car with their father to go to the zoo. On their way there, a huge pileup occurred. Takeru tried to press the breaks but was too late. The car had hit and the air bags shot open, causing an instant death to dear Takeru.
Yet in the back Melanie and Kat saw the whole thing and were horrified. They screamed until the police would have found them, which had taken a long time.
Melanie had tried to clam both Kat and herself down, but in
the end, it only caused her to cry harder. Once the police did get to them,
they called their mother to tell her the tragic news.
"Guess what guys?" Videl said.
Both chibis looked at each other then Videl.
"Nani?" the said in unison.
"Well one of my friends are coming with us to the poetry bar," Videl
said happily.
Kat and Melanie's expressions changed form bad to worse.
"Oh please tell me it's not the bumbling blond haired baka the kept
hitting on you!" Kat said exasperated.
"Or that annoying perky blond who couldn't keep her mouth shut if her life
depended on it!" Mel exclaimed.
Videl couldn't help but laugh at those kawaii faces. They were like the
priceless Kodak moment faces. She thought about the last time the twins visited
her. Her, Sharpner, and Erasa went to the carnival and had a horrible time.
"If you are referring to Sharpner and Erasa, no. Besides those two hooked
up way long ago," Videl said while still giggling.
Both chibis had a questioning look but sighed in relief.
"Then who?" Melanie asked.
"Well remember when I told you how I got my necklace…" Videl said
trailing off.
Melanie and Kats faces looked happier then before. "We get to meet
Gohan!" Kat exclaimed.
"Yeah," Videl said with a smile.
"Wow, by the way you described him he sounded very cool!" Melanie
said with a smile, "I can't wait to see him!"
Kat suddenly had a sly grin on her face. Melanie soon caught on the facial
expression. Videl stood there looking at them confused.
"So Videl, is Gohan your boyfriend?" Kat asked slyly.
"Yeah Videl, by the way you talk about him it seems like you going
study," Melanie said with a grin.
Videl looked at Kat then at Melanie with wide eyes of shock. She started to
also blush ten no maybe twelve shades of red also.
"H-how could you two think like that? M-me and G-Gohan?"
"Oh come one Videl-san, you know you like him," Melanie said
teasingly.
Before Videl could get her two bits in the doorbell rang. Videl saw Sakura
running to the door.
"Miss Videl, Mr. Son is here," Sakura said in a fake polite voice.
"Thanks Sakura," Videl said mockingly.
A few seconds later, Gohan stepped in and had on a huge grin.
"Hey Videl," Gohan said casually.
"Hey there Gohan. These are my cousins Kat and Melanie." Videl said
while pointing to the individuals.
"Konnichiwa Kat, Melanie," Gohan greeted them.
"Konnichiwa, I am Melanie and that's Kat," Melanie said.
'Wow, I hope they don't have the personalities of Goten and Trunks,' Gohan
thought.
But Gohan was ever-so wrong about that. Kat and Melanie both trained and took
gymnastics. Since they are both clever they also come up with plans.
"So you guys ready to go?" Gohan asked.
"Hai," all three girls replied in unison.
All four got outside and decided to walk to the park before the poetry reading.
They walked for about a block and finally arrived. They fed swans at the lake,
swung on the swings, and now came across a maze. They decided to take their
chances and go for it. It was said that there was an amazing sight when you get
into the middle of the maze. So the four walked through the twists, turns, and
even dead ends.
Kat and Melanie decided to find the easy way out. Kat put out a hand for
Melanie to stand on so they could find the middle. Melanie got up and flipped
upwards to see a lot. It was Kat's turn. She flipped up above Melanie and found
the right path. Both smirked at their excellent work and turned to Gohan and
Videl.
"Hey, why don't we lead for a while?" Kat said to the two teens.
"Sure, knock yourself out," Videl said.
So Melanie and Kat decided to take their 'own' path that they 'found.' Round
and round they went. Finally they reached the middle.
It was breath taking. What was there was a mini forest type
area. Grass covered the area and in the middle was a big water fountain. There
were a couple of trees and a bench. They all walked there to sit and take a
break.
"Wow, this is beautiful," Videl, said.
"Yeah totally!" the chibis said in unison.
"How about we stay here for a while then get to the poetry bar?"
Gohan said. And so it was done.
They walked over to the water fountain and threw coins in for wishes.
~I wish for Gohan to show his true feelings towards me~ Videl thought with
hope.
~I wish for Videl to be with me forever.~ Gohan also thought hoping it would be
true.
After the wishes were said the four went back out. Only one problem, how to get
out of the maze?
"This is going to take a while," Gohan said.
"Yeah," Videl sighed.
"No it won't! All we have to do is do some flips and well be out of here
in no time." Kat said.
The teens stood there confused until Kat and Melanie got in a ready position.
Both flipped in the air and found a leading path.
"This way guys," Melanie said.
Everyone was relieved and Gohan was amazed at the little girl's ability of
flexibility. Finally, they reached the exit and walked down the streets.
Meanwhile someone was watching them closely. He paid close attention to Videl.
"Soon Videl, your energy will
be gone," said the mysterious voice.
He watched them closely then flew off to his boss for the plan to get the
devil.
@Central Perk@
All four walked in a nice homey place. There were beanbag chairs everywhere, a
coffee counter, and plenty of people. They took a seat after they talked to the
announcer about the poetry. He agreed whole-heartedly for little kids and
poetry. So they waited.
"Hey ya'll welcome to Central Perk for this night's poetry night. We have
some talented adults and even kids here tonight so please give a warm welcome
for them," The announcer said earning some claps and snapping.
Kat and Melanie went back stage to get ready and left Gohan and Videl alone.
They sat close to each other. Videl snuggled up against Gohan as the lights
dimmed and he didn't mind.
"For our first reader I would like to introduce the passionate words of
Melanie Haruna," the announcer said and handed the microphone to Melanie.
Snaps were heard.
Melanie looked around with a bit
of fear and behind and saw Kat waving to her and saying "you can do it Mel", so
she started and the snaps quieted down when she began. Her voice was melodic
with rhythm as she began to speak.
"To Dream Again,"
"I fear of going to sleep at night,
I fear my dreams would come true.
I fear my dreams taking over my life,
hiding me from you.
Illusions mixed with reality,
the truth mixed into lies.
I can't tell lies from the truth any more,
I wish that I could just hide,
But instead I am left here to cry,
Alone in a puddle of blood,
The scarlet red and knifes ahead,
I'm here,
Left to die.
Waking up from yet another dream,
Wishing I could cry,
My tears slowly comes this time,
Knowing that this was really my life,
I fear my dreams would come true someday,
Come true and take over my life.
I wait here everyday,
Sitting by the sea,
I wait here everyday,
Hoping that I would wake up from this awful dream.
Until night falls,
I live out my dream that I think of as hell,
Once it's time to sleep,
I wish I could die,
Instead I have my first true cry.
I fear my dreams will come true,
For if it do then I wouldn't be here,
Here to tell you why,
I fear this life of mine,
And my dreams even more…" Melanie spoke the last line sadly and walked
away.
Many snaps were heard and even claps were heard. Gohan and Videl cheered and
during which their faces got closer.
"Now lets hear the deep poetic soul of Kat Haruna," he said and Kat
got the microphone. She spoke deeply with her heart and was dead serious.
"A Child from the Past,"
"Dawn goes down by day,
A child from the past calls my name,
I seek this voice through long ago,
The child's presence gives me a desire to know,
What is the aura that surrounds the figure?
Sapphire and Golden flashes are configured,
The child steps out from the dark hole of eternity,
The face still eclipsed while shaded with mystery,
A cerulean ocean, with a moonlight sky,
Reflects my image which blurs with the wind,
I request to know the child next to me in the water,
I turn to see nothing but to think it was a image gone falter,
The vision of the child occurs once more,
Standing in the dark while the rain pours,
I run to the youngster, who is crying for help,
The mask of the kid is now revealed,
Shock overwhelms my body to what has appeared,
For the child has black hair and eyes of green,
The child from the past appears to be me…"
Kat was done and more snaps and claps grew louder in the rumble. During the
poems Videl and Gohan were found on the couch with their eyes locked. Getting
closer their lips touched each other's. A sweet sensation filled them, but hey
pulled away quickly. Both were flushed with red and looked away. Each smiled at
what they just did. Melanie and Kat decided to come and interrupt the little
break through.
"Like our poems guys?" Melanie asked.
"Y-yeah, they were very nice," Videl said with a smile.
"Very nice. Your poetry is deep you guys," Gohan said.
Both chibis smiled and sat down. Gohan decided to get something for him and the
girls. When he came back he had two hot chocolates, a blended mocha, and an
Italian soda. He handed the girls the chocolate and Videl the mocha. He took
his kiwi Italian soda and started drinking. Gohan's head turned when he saw
something familiar. He saw a floating blue cat and Yamcha? Well it figures, he
is with another girl.
Yamcha spotted Gohan and waved. A beautiful girl was with him also.
"Hey there Gohan, on a date I see," Yamcha said while winking.
"Shut it Yamcha, this is my best friend Videl and her cousins Melanie and
Kat. We took them here so they can recite their poetry, got it?" Gohan
said.
"Calm down dude," Yamcha said as he introduced them.
"Hello Midori, nice to see you again. Have you spared lately?" Gohan
asked.
"Yeah recently I have and I am getting better Gohan," she said and
smiled sweetly.
Midori and Yamcha was a perfect match. Both liked Marshal Arts and dwelled
greatly together. She was girls' teacher at a near by dojo. She had black hair
and emerald eyes. She was a sweet person and wasn't just another slut. Yamcha
and Midori bonded strongly to each other with passion. This was the one for
Yamcha.
Videl was jealous and felt left out. She didn't admit it but Gohan was hers and
hers only.
"So Yamcha, when's the wedding," Gohan said jokingly.
"In a couple of months," he said sarcastically.
"Yamcha, I thought it was going to be in one month," Midori said.
Yamcha looked confused along with Gohan. Midori caught Gohan's attention and
told him to play along with the joke.
"Yeah Yamcha, you said you were getting married on Bulma's party a couple
of weeks ago," Gohan said playing along with the joke.
Yamcha looked horrified. They both looked dead serious and he gulped. Did he
really propose? Did he say that? Well he was loopy and drunk what would he
know.
"U-uh…" was all Yamcha could get out.
Both Gohan and Midori busted out laughing. Yamcha caught on and blushed madly.
They were out of their gasping for air stage and calmed down. Even Kat and
Melanie looked amused. Videl was still
a little mad.
"Well see you later Yamcha, I'll be at the wedding in a month," Gohan
said jokingly once more as he, Kat, Melanie, and Videl walked out.
"So let me guess, there are a lot more to know," Videl said.
"Yeah, but you'll meet them all soon. Bulma is throwing a party
again," Gohan said sheepishly. "She is having a party in about a
week."
"Cool, I'll be there," Videl, said.
"Um hey guys, Kat and I have to get to the station for my mom to pick us
up," Melanie said.
"Yeah, I hope we get to visit soon Videl-san," Kat said.
"It was nice meeting you two, how about I give you a ride," Gohan
said.
"Sure!" the chibis said in unison.
Gohan popped out his capsule car. He opened the door for the girls and got in.
He started up the car and drove off. It took a while to get to the station but
made it in time.
In Kyoto, the nations capital
They got out of the car and walked towards the train. Videl looked around for
her aunt and finally spotted her.
"Hey aunt Yuumei," Videl said as she hugged her aunt.
"Hi sweetie, hey there my little chibis. Had fun?" Yuumei asked.
"Yes mama," Kat said.
"Yeah mum, we went to the park the Central Perk for poetry," Melanie
exclaimed.
"That's great, and who is this?" Yuumei asked as she pointed to
Gohan.
"He is Gohan mom, Videl's best friend," Kat said with a little
emphasis.
"Yeah, more like boyfriend,"
Melanie whispered to Kat with a smirk.
"Well nice to meet you Gohan, I hope Kat and Melanie weren't any
trouble," Yuumei said to Gohan.
"Not at all, they aren't anything compared to my brother and his
friend," Gohan said while laughing.
Kat and Melanie had glints in their eyes. They resent that comment ever so
much.
"We have to get going now Videl sweetie. How about next time you visit?
You can bring Gohan along too," Yuumei said adequately.
"Well I don't know, Kyoto is a little far away an all so I don't know when
we can," Videl said.
"Well I would love to visit you guys," Gohan said while bending to
Kat and Melanie's height.
"Yay!" Both said as they ran and hugged Gohan.
"See you later," Kat and Melanie said as they entered the train with
Yuumei.
Gohan and Videl walked out of the station and drove to Videl's home.
"Hey Videl, why don't you come over to my house since everyone is gone at
your house." Gohan said.
"No, its ok Gohan, I will be alright," Videl said and noticed they
were at her home already.
"Are you sure? Call me if you want to come okay? I will come," Gohan
said and walked Videl to her front door.
"Thanks Gohan, bye," Videl said looking at Gohan,
"Ja ne Videl," Gohan doing the same.
Both were caught up in each other and kissed. It was light at first then turned
out more until Videl pulled away and hugged Gohan and went inside blushing.
Gohan stood there blushing but smiling even more. His wish at the fountain came
true.
"Goodnight Videl," Gohan said as he packed the capsule car and flew
away.
Meanwhile Videl was getting upstairs when she heard footsteps. She turned
around and then figured it was nothing. She made her way to her room then when
she got in someone grabbed her. They were strong and held a blade against her
neck. It wasn't a normal blade, but she noticed it was made of Ki. Usually she could
defend herself, but not now.
"Listen, don't make any movements bitch or else this blade will slice you
open," the dark voice said.
"W-who are you," Videl said.
"None of your concern… My boss will be happy that I finally got you,"
he said.
"P-please, don't kill me," she begged.
"Oh, I wont, but my boss will," he said and cackled evilly.
