Gohan couldn't take it anymore,
so he got into position. The thing he loved most was being hurt. Now he has to
make a sacrifice. He transformed into Super Saiyan 2 and….
"BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
We meet again
Chapter twelve: Hope in morning
The sun rose over the city. The once midnight sky was now illuminated with the warm glows for the suns rays. What was once Takai's hideout had disappeared. The building was destroyed into a big pile of nothing.
Nothing was left…
One Saiyan stood there, thinking about what happened. He looked down with sadness. Last night gave him a lot to think about. His heart ached about how many people had died. Though he was glad that the horror had ended.
He looked down into his arms at the girl he loved. She was still alive hopefully. He checked both her ki and pulse, and both were high and beating. Gohan held her tighter in his embrace.
"I am so glad you are ok," he whispered.
Gohan then hovered in the air and took off the Capsule Corp. He felt Videl shake in his arms, so he raised his ki a little to warm her up. He had a couple of cuts and burns on her neck.
It was in the early morning around five or six a.m. The morning breeze blew against his face gently. Capsule Corp finally came in view. He landed and punched in the code to enter the gates. He walked up to the door and used his key.
When he walked into the living room, he found Sakura, Bulma, and Trunks on the couch sleeping. Suddenly Vegeta walked in the room and grunted.
"So she's safe?" he whispered.
Gohan smiled, "Yeah."
"Good."
"I need to talk to you later Vegeta," Gohan said.
"Follow me brat, you need to take her to the medical center."
Gohan nodded and followed Vegeta to the room. Once they reached the clinic, Gohan set Videl on a bed, and got some burning cream and band-aids. He took the cream and rubbed it in her hands, then rubbed it gently on Videl's neck. Gohan then took some rubbing alcohol and took some cotton.
When the cotton gently rubbed her skin, she flinched. Face it, when you get cuts, it stings. Then he bandaged her up, took care of the cuts on her neck, face, arm, and left leg. He smiled, got up, tucked a blanket to keep her warm, and left with Vegeta close behind.
"What do you want to talk about brat?"
Gohan sighed, "It's about the person who kidnapped Videl. His name was Takai, he said he was the prince of Kodoku, and when I mocked him, he acted, lets see…like you."
Vegeta raised an eyebrow. "I think I remember him."
"That's not all. When I mentioned your name, he went totally psycho on me," Gohan snickered.
Vegeta smirked, "Ah yes, I remember that annoying prince, yes. It was when I first came to earth. I traveled around the world and all of a sudden this annoying brat came up and started ranting at me. I found out he was a prince, and I told him I was a prince to and nearly blasted him. Oh the good ol' days. He nearly shit in his pants."
Gohan also smirked, but also frowned, "The poor man destroyed himself."
"He deserved it," Vegeta snorted.
"Well, time to wake up Sakura. She would want to know when Videl came," and with that Gohan walked off.
Vegeta in the other hand stared at Videl then walked off. With training, the girl could be strong. Lot of potential, but her life was almost lost.
Living room
Gohan entered the living room and walked over to Sakura. He gently shook the middle-aged lady and whispered. "She's here."
Sakura's eyes lifted a little and stared at Gohan. She immediately jumped up and looked at Gohan. He nodded.
"She's alright. Videl isn't awake now, but she is ok."
Sakura looked as if she was going to cry, "Where is her!"
Gohan smiled, "Follow me."
They walked down the hall to the clinic, and entered it. They found Dr. Briefs staring at Videl.
"Hey Dr. Briefs," Gohan said.
"Gohan my boy, how are you?" he asked.
"Just fine, we just came to check on her."
"She is doing well, and talked to me a little," he said.
Gohan looked surprised, "Really? I thought she had passed out."
All of a sudden both men were pushed out of the way as Sakura ran to Videl.
"V-Videl, p-poor child. I shouldn't have left you," Sakura cried.
Gohan and Dr. Brief's sweat dropped.
"C-calm d-d-down S-Sakura," said a hoarse voice.
Every turned to Videl. Gohan stood up and ran to Videl. She smiled.
"H-hey G-g-Gohan," she staggered.
Gohan took her hand, "Videl, how are you feeling? Are you alright?"
"Give me a senzu bean, and I'll be just fine," she groaned.
As soon as she said that, someone tapped his back. Gohan turned to see Dr. Briefs holding out his hand with a senzu bean in it. Gohan grinned, thanked him and turned to his love.
"Well your in luck missy, here," Gohan said and tenderly opened Videl's mouth and put the senzu bean in it.
Videl lightly chewed the bean more and more. She then got a grip to swallow it. In a matter of seconds, she shot up. Videl turned to Gohan and grinned.
"Thanks Gohan, thanks Dr. Briefs," she said.
"Why your welcome Videl. Now I think I should go and make some coffee, along with waking Bulma and Trunks," he said and walked out of the room.
Yes, everything was better. Sakura kept crying and hugging Videl for dear life, and any tighter meant another senzu bean. Gohan stayed with Sakura and Videl to talk about what happened and everything.
"Yeah, and when I acted too much like a smart ass, he shoved tape over my mouth!" Videl exclaimed.
By now, Bulma and Trunks were awake. They had called Chichi and told her everything was fine, and she was relieved to find out.
"So, are you going to tell your father Videl?" Bulma asked while taking a sip of her coffee.
Videl sighed, "You know, I am not even sure, but after the explosion of the building, I am sure the police are going to call me down and be all over it."
Bulma nodded. Gohan looked at Videl more closely. He could see she was still a little frightened.
"Videl, calm down…there is nothing to worry about," he assured her.
Videl looked at Gohan with hurt, "You don't know how scared I was! The truth hurt me badly…I found out the true colors of my so-called father. He is the reason my mother died, he is the reason I got kidnapped, and he is the reason for my pain. My mother attempted suicide Gohan! It was his entire fault! At least Takai actually liked my mother. He said it pained him to see me because I looked like my mother."
Gohan's face looked stone cold, "I can't believe him! This is ridiculous. Hercule has gone too far. Videl, for now on I will train you and make sure that you will not be injured again."
Videl gazed at Gohan's eyes or seriousness, then smiled, "I accept your offer Gohan, but for now on I will not live under my fathers roof."
Sakura gawked at Videl, "V-Videl! I know your father is a bit of a jerk, but what about your living quarters?"
"I'll get an apartment if I have to. I made a vow to strip the name of Satan off of me, and that is what I am going to do, I am changing my last name to my mothers."
Chichi then interrupted them both, "Non sense, you will stay in our guest bedroom, and when you and Gohan both graduate, you will get married and go to college. And somewhere between there you fit in grandchildren."
Everyone in the room thought Chichi was crazy, but decided not to say anything because of her dreadful frying pan.
"Thanks Chichi. I really appreciate it. I think I should get to my home and pack for my moving out," Videl said while rising up.
Chichi narrowed her eyes at Gohan and he immediately tapped Videl, "Hey Videl, I'll go help you." Chichi then smiled and turned to Bulma to talk.
Videl and Gohan walked down the halls and to the outside. Gohan grabbed Videl and both flew off into the sky. "It'll be great Videl! I'll teach you to fly, and use ki blasts, and teach you how to really do marshal arts."
Videl cocked an eyebrow, "What do you mean? You think I can't 'really' fight?"
"Um no, I mean yes, I mean…I'll shut up," Gohan said rather fast.
When the Satan mansion came into view, sirens could be heard around the city. "Told you they would be all over the explosion."
"Awww, I'll take care of that, actually Piccolo. He'll use his powers to make the whole city forget."
"Really? Oh hey Gohan! My window is right there!" Videl pointed out.
Gohan landed on the balcony and set Videl down. She opened the doors and walked into her barley clean room.
"At least he didn't break anything," Videl sighed.
Gohan sat on the bed and waited for Videl. He still didn't know how to say he loved her, and didn't want to make a fool of himself.
