The woman with black long hair began to write in her diary. "Time is like a wheel …sort of…turning and turning with out a care or worry…and doesn't stop…and the heart is the center of it all…of this wheel…As time goes on…" she wrote "For some…time passes by slowly… an hour can seem like an eternity…for me…it didn't exist!"
A car beeped.
She ran to the window and opened the window wide beaming.
…For others…there's never enough…for true love…hardly existence…where fate…maybe a chance of true happiness…bring two lives together…and or closer….than ever before…where people are lead to do things…that they haven't done…before…fate brings people together…in very mysterious ways… love was in the air…it was only a question of when…
She smiled her hair blowing widely as the pages of her diary turned slowly…then rapidly…the scene went fading…and out of focus…
++++++++++++++++
~Capsule Corps
Bulma gasped her eyes wide and shimmering as she leaned against the window not believing her eyes.
"*WH-what's going on…? And Vegeta … this is all too bizarre*…ha…ha…" she panted.
________flashback_________
"There's something strange about that human onna" Vegeta sipped his tea.
"And what would that be…?
{Foosh} it went foggy…
________End of flashback______
________Flashback_________
"V-Vegeta she CNNOT be…she's so sweet…smart…generous…and so like…ME!" Bulma
said.
"I don't know…but I choose to find out"
_____End of flashback______
She leaned against the window "*A-and that's about the SAME time that-that earthquake hit…a-and Veggie…Videl…" she placed her trembling fingers upon her lips and looked to the ceiling seeing their faces smiling or smirking at her "G-go—OH MY GOSH!" she jumped and ran out of the office room.
~Outside
Sharpener collapsed by Gohan's feet with a painful groan.
Gohan scoffed "You're lucky your Videl's 'boyfriend' or I would have killed you for calling her that" then he smirked "If anyone's allowed to call her that it should be ME!"
"Interesting" a female voice said.
Gohan turned swiftly with his eyes narrowed.
"Anastasia!" he snarled.
"One and only" the target smirked waving her fingers. "It's been so long eh bounty hunter…?"
He snarled again.
"Doing that a lot I see" she smirked.
"This isn't the time…" he hovered.
"Ah, you letting ME go AGAIN…I think NOT!" she glared.
~Forest--CAVE OUTSIDE WEST-CITY~
Videl sat in corner of the cave looking at the ground.
Vegeta stood by the cave opening not facing her but leaning by the cave's opening frame.
"Ask away"
She looked surprised.
"I-I…: blush: I-I don't wana be"
"Go on…ask away" he waved it away.
"C-Could there be another YOU running around…?"
He looked at her studded.
~Capsule corps.
"DAMMIT Vegeta!! Where'd you take here?" Gohan yelled.
"She's all right!" Vegeta shrugged.
"Ah! Miss. Videl is her--" the British doorman interrupted.
Before Bulma could jump up with joy Videl walked into the room.
She held one of her arms rubbing it slowly a blush on her face showing her embarrassment.
"V-Videl…" Gohan said softly.
"Ah, I-I think they want to be alone" Bulma said standing.
"NO!!!" Videl cried reaching for Bulma "S-stay pl-please…"
Bulma looked surprised as did the other three.
She blushed and put her hand down "S-sorry about that out burst!"
"It's ok!" Bulma waved it off "We'll stay"
"NO!!!" Gohan objected.
Everyone looked at him now.
Bulma planted her hands on her hips "WELL! MAKE UP YOURS MIBNDS!!! I DON'T HAVE ALL DAY! LEAVE? IS THAT IT?"
"That WOULD be NICE" Gohan said.
"WELL" she said with anger and tossed her head in an angered gesture.
"I'll come too" Videl tired to leave behind the three others but Gohan held her beside him.
Bulma glance at them.
"BYE" Gohan said sternly.
Bulma grunted and slammed the door shaking the photos on the wall and desk.
"Y-You didn't have to do that…" she said softly.
"Yes I had to…we need to talk"
"About what…?" she then stiffened when he leaned her body against his firm chest.
Her eyes widen.
She looked down at her side.
Her eyes shimmered.
"G-Gohan…I" she whispered softly.
"Hush…" he whispered.
She kept still.
"Look at me…" he said.
Videl didn't move.
He swiftly moved her to face him.
She looked at his chest…then at his neck…his lips…then up more to his eyes…his eyes…so mysterious…and yet so …
Her thoughts where disrupted by her cell phone.
{RING! RING! RING!}
Gohan let her free and turned to hide his disappointment.
He began to daydream of her.
"Hello…no…I-I cannot…I-I'm sorry…I cannot…I said…please…NO..! Good-day!" Videl clicked off her cell-phone.
Someone tapped his shoulder. He gasped.
The target he sneered.
He then gasped.
Videl…no the target…images of the two flashing back and forth switching bodies.
His eyes widen.
"G-Gohan…? You o-ok?" Videl blinked.
"A-A-Anastasia…?" he whispered.
Videl gasped covering her mouth her eyes wide and shimmering.
"T-That n-name it's min…" she grabbed her head and groaned falling to her knees.
"Videl!" Gohan snapped out of his state.
"G-Gohan…" she then ran out.
~Capsule corps.
"DAMMIT WHY IS EVERYONE ON MY CASE?!!! AND DAMMIT WHY SHOULD I…?" Videl yelled slamming her office door.
"He's your father…" Gohan opened the door.
"So what" Videl slammed her notebook onto his desk frustrated.
"…" he stepped into her office then closed the door behind him.
"A-and besides…he's no father…to me…" she said softly looking down.
"You're talking nonsense" he placed a hand on her cheek.
"Back OFF" she snapped and pushes herself from him.
"He's your FATHER Videl…"
"You're gonna have to do better than that" she snorted.
She opened her closet and piles of paper fell upon the fair colored floor.
"Mess aren't we" he teased.
She glared at him "Thanks for the 'News flash' but I'm not a messy person" she began to pile them.
"Piling them by year, color, size, profile…and wait a sec" Gohan picked up one that had hearts on it "OOHH! A love letter collection eh?" he smirked.
"NO!!" she snapped once more "now give that back Mr. Son"
"Where back to the 'Mr. Son' thing AGAIN?" he then groaned. Then smirked "Besides I'm taller than you"
"S-so what…" she stuttered blushing now.
"Hum…? A-a letter…is this to uh…"
"Me…"
"Huh?"
"It was after my mother died…a-and my father was dating miss. Floozy from 'News Satan City' channel 6! And he forgot my mom died when I was eight and I was so angry at him…then he surprised me with a dinner for two…we laugh…we cried" she chuckled "My-my dad showed me these home videos when I thought he got rid of them…and he gave me this-this bracelet…it used to be my mother…" she took it out from the profile folder.
"Trying to forget her?" he asked.
"NO! Why would I do such a thing…?" she trued her head. She felt his warm hand brush against hers.
"You know it really matches your eyes…" he said softly placing the bracelet onto her hand. "Just beautiful…"
She blushed looking up slowly and met his eyes.
He leaned forward.
She backed away.
Gohan groaned "Ooh so when I try to kiss you, YOU back away…? Why do I even bother…?" he ran his fingers through his hair in frustration.
Videl grunted "Just put it back...the-there's no need for memories…"
"There's a song here…"
"Yeah…M-My mother loved this song…I had in on a CD before…" she gestured to her desk.
"Really now"
"You can o now…I-I don't need you" she sniffed and then stood facing the window. "*Don't go! Don't go!*"
"Well I best be going then" Gohan said. She heard the door shut.
She closed her eyes in pain.
Tears on the verge of spilling "G-Gohan…"
"Yes miss" she heard him reply.
Her eyes widen as she turned her head slowly.
"GOHAN!" she cried into his chest.
"Y-You better go and see your father…" he said softly in her silky following black hair.
"Hum…" she said softly.
~West City –Oak Obscure Hospital
Videl walked down the halls of O.O. hospital.
Room 660…
She looked through the wide window.
Too much alcohol…
___________Flashback
"He's had too much…he has liver cancer …too much alcohol… his body…liver…and his heart cannot take it any longer…" the doctor said. "We told him to choose…if he wanted to live longer to stop…but he …"
"Choose to be a slave to his drinking…I-I know doctor thank you…"
_________End of flashback
"I-I thought you where faking dad…like before…numerous times…but-but now…I wish you where daddy…" she whispered. She pushed a stray hair behind her ears. Her eyes shimmered "Oh daddy…"
"You may go in now…Miss. Videl" the chestnut haired nurse said softly putting a hand on Videl's shoulder.
Videl merely nodded "Yes…thank you"
She sat down looking at him.
He had VI on him…so many tubes…all this…it hurt…she couldn't lose him too…then…then
"-I'd be all alone…" she whispered. She touched his beard remembering how it tickled terribly when she was young… "D-daddy…I'll be right here when you wake up …daddy…" she then noticed a photo. Her father unscripted it with "… 'To be dearly Videl…May you remember your family loves you forever more…'!" then one of her parents together…
Her mother…and her father…before the accident…
{Piano playing—female singer}
]
/Hmm
There's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid/
She touched his cheek.
/Of what you are
There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away/
She remembered the
picnic…the river… it was perfect…
"-I-I wanted to see fishes…the dock was slippery…I stood on the edge …mommy wanted me to get off…I teased her she couldn't do it…she-she did…and she slipped…it was too icy and wet…"
_________Flashback
A woman with blonde curly locks and blue eyes gasped.
Chibi Videl was next to her father as she gasped reaching for her falling mother…"M-m-momma!"
The woman looked at her, the woman's eyes shimmering as she fell back making no sound…
The scene was quiet…no sound…Videl gasped her eyes as her mother neared her fate…the raging river…
"MMMMOOOOOMMMAAA!" Videl screamed.
And vanished into the dark depths of the river…never surfacing again…
"MMMOOOMMMMAAA!!!" Videl cried Hurlcule held her back PLEASE DON'T LEAVE MEEEEE!!!!" her voice echoed.
_________End of flashback
"A-and you did leave me…" Videl sniffed "Y-You left me alone…dad never understood me…I cried…everyday…he NEVER cried…not at the funeral…no time…then he began to drink…smoke…everything you where against…I-I thought he didn't care….he hated us…but it was his way of grieving I guess…I understand now…I-I suppose I didn't understand…but I promised myself no-no one will EVER take your place…then Minooka…came…she was trying to be my friend…an-and I PUSHED her away…I've been doing that a lot huh…" she looked down. "W-when you died…I-I thought…I thought a part of me died…but-but you kept on living ….right here inside of me…even now…I can still feel your love encircle me…it's me…part of you…it's something so special…I-I wished you could live forever…the-then you told me… 'Do not fear death my child…it is the ever living you shall fear…' I didn't understand…I still don't …but day by day I put the pieces together…I shall live my life to the fullest…everyday…I shall live it as if it were my last…for ever more…you work in puzzles mother…I thank you for all you are…and all you made me…for love can go on living…even beyond the grave…"
/And
then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive/
The photo of her parents fell…the side of her father smashed…and it showed him falling forward instead of sitting like he was before…she gasped …she was horrified.
She turned her head around quickly.
Videl then looked… The cardiogram immediately went dead with a loud discontinued beep…
"NO!" she cried. "YOU WERE'NT SUPPOSED TO DIE!!" she covered her eyes with her hands sobbing as she stood while the cardiogram still went on dead…he was truly gone…gone with the wind…images of her flashbacks came back flashing through her mind rapidly making her gasp and pant with pain.
/So when you feel like hope is gone/
She then looked into the sky…those words…her mother echoing through the winds 'Love can go on beyond the grave…remember that…' then she saw her father smiling with her mother in the clouds…
/Look
inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you/
She clenched her hands into fist.
Her eyes shimmered.
The room when dark as she saw her parents reaching for her.
She began to run to them calling to them.
She held their hands feeling their warmth go cold…dead…
Then they vanished.
/It's a
long road
When you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold/
Her eyes spilled tears quickly.
Her hands shook at her cheeks.
She then looked down at the floor her tears falling on the tile.
Then she felt hands hold her waist.
/You
can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear/
Gohan held her to him.
She placed her body against his chest.
They looked on.
"He-wasn't supposed to die…" Videl said softly.
"You cannot tell people when to die…" Gohan whispered into her ears.
/And
then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive/
"B-But if-if I had…" Videl sniffed. Her eyes shimmered.
"NO!" Gohan snapped.
He kissed her lips…silky…sweet…
Videl's eyes widen her eyes still shimmering with a slight hue of pink upon her cheeks.
Their lips separated slowly.
Gohan straighten slowly as their eyes still upon the others.
Videl looked at him with her eyes shimmering still.
/So
when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you/
~Gohan's apt.
"You MUST stay away from her" Mai said.
"I WON'T" Gohan objected.
"If you stay with her…your endangering the world…your getting careless Gohan…your mission is more important than love…you know that…and I know that…" Mai said softly "If you are to stay with her you'd put not only her into endangerment…but the whole universe…The world as we know it shall shatter and end its' existence…"
"YOU'RE MY partner…nothing else...you have NO right to tell me WHAT I can do and WHAT I cannot do" Gohan stood angrily.
"I am also family Gohan" she whispered.
"That still doesn't give you the right…even as a cousin, Mai" Gohan turned not facing her.
Someone touched his shoulder.
"DAMMIT I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" he shouted and sharply turned to face…VIDEL!!
She looked frighten.
The plate of cookies she held dropped to the floor.
Her eyes shimmering with tears on the verge to spill she ran out covering her mouth with a hand.
Mai looked at this scene wordless. "I-I best go" Mai said softly nearly unheard as she closed the door leaving Gohan standing still his eyes still widen.
~Videl's APT.
Videl sniffed leaning against the window of her bedroom.
"G-Gohan…" she cried.
She cuddled up into a ball and sobbed.
~TWO DAYS LATER—Gohan's Apt.
"V-Videl…I to-told you what I am…"
"I-I know a bounty hunter…it's o-ok with me…"
"I have so many enemies and I couldn't stand it to see you hurt…especially if I was the cause…"
Videl smiled "I would kill myself or die happy knowing that I had spent this day with you…Gohan Kun"
He chuckled slightly "Videl…"
She smiled more "B-But Gohan…I don't care WHAT happens to me…as long as I can be with you…" she leaned onto his chest.
Gohan closed his eyes. "Vid"
Videl's eyes shimmered as she looked down thinking.
Gohan pulled her off of him.
She gasped. "W-what…?"
"Videl...we…" he took a deep breath "W-we cannot…be together… We MUST stay AWAY from each other…" he moved her outside of his apt. door then closed it.
Videl gasped.
"NUHA! Wait…please" she then began to bang onto his door "GOHAN-KUN! GOHAN DON'T SHUT ME OUT OF YOUR LIFE!!! PLEASE! GOHAN! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU ARE!! I DON'T CARE WHERE YOUR FROM!! GOHAN! ALL I CARE IS THAT I WANT TO BE WITH YOU!!! GOHAN! EVEN IF THE WORLD SHATTERS I JUST WANNA BE WITH YOU!!! GOHAN!"
During her cries and yells for him Gohan leaned against the door.
"GOHAN! GGOOHHAANN!!!" she whined "PLEASE!!! GOHAN CAN''T WE WORK THINGS OUT??!!! PLEASE!"
Gohan sighed "Oh Videl…why does it have to be this WAY" he said to himself.
Videl let out a huge high-pitched wail as she slopped down to the floor sobbing.
Gohan looked of both of them and then target flashing back and forth switching bodies with Videl.
He STILL didn't know WHAT it meant.
~THAT NIGHT--- AUBURN CITY
Gohan looked angrily at a man with a dark cloak on.
Mai stood rooted to the floor looking at them.
The man blew his gun that he had fired a new bullet making the target collapsed with in river of her own blood.
"As your advisor I'd take the opportunity to finish her off it did say 'Dead OR alive' the man smirked. "Now everything is perfect"
"PERFECT" Gohan scoffed "GET REALLY" he then glared at Yoke "Yoke… W-why did you deliberately disregard my orders and SHOOT HER!!!" he gestured to Anastasia.
"Oh though my regretful Gohan…The loss of this criminal is a SMALL sacrifice for our cause"
"STILL IT WAS NOT YOUR DECISION!!" Gohan snapped.
"Let me re-fresh your memory Gohan! It's a mission not some LOVER fantasy la-de-da time! NOW forget this dumb fool the time is right to finally rid of these spies!"
Gohan sighed "I-I guess…I best set aside personal feeling for the good of our cause…and once we are done I shall have your behavior reported Yoke…Mai bring the cri--Anastasia along on the stretcher… and now Yoke… BE GONE!" Gohan hovered.
Mai nodded and did as she was told.
"Yes" Yoke vanished into the night shadows "*If I don't accidentally execute you FISRT Gohan…FOOL…he doesn't realize the powers I hold?*" a green ki blast formed upon each of his fingers.
~LATER THAT NIGHT—WEST CITY
"…I'm worried about you Videl…" Erasa's voice echoed into Videl's mind.
Videl looked down.
"Videl...I-I just want you to know how much I care for you…"
______________FLASHBACK
"Videl you've been so mean all these past two days…can't we talk…we're best friends…aren't w-we…?" Erasa whimpered.
"BEST friends aren't NOSEY…they aren't GOSSIP hunters…" Videl spat.
"I-I'm worried about you Videl…I want you to know how much I care for you…"
____________END OF FLASHBACK
"I-I have no friends…or family…"
"Vid…" Gohan's voice echoed.
"I'M alone…"
"FATHER OPEN YOUR EYES!!!" Videl screamed.
Videl placed a hand upon her bedroom window sighing "Love…it only makes matters worst…"
"Holding you close and giving you kisses isn't the ONLY symbols of love or the only ways of showing love Videl…you 'll see when you fall in love some day…" her mother giggled.
"Watching someone from far away…is a kind of love too Videl…" Gohan said.
"-WH-what are these feeling whelming up inside me…my family…my friends…G-Gohan…" she said softly.
~Gohan's APT.
"We're Anastasia?" Gohan said.
"HOW am I to know? Who IS she?" Bulma asked.
Vegeta grunted.
"Then there'll be a blast that will reduce the universe to nothing but dusty air…of complete silence…the end" Ma explained.
"OH that's so awful!" Mrs. Briefs wiped.
"GOKU DO SOMETHING! ANYTHING" Chichi cried.
"Moe! Ruf Ru e rucot (Sure! Just in a second)" he swallowed his food.
"GOKU WHAT ARE YOU DOING STUFFING YOUR DAMN FACE!!! OUR SON'S MATE'S LIFE IS AT STAKE!!"
"Actually Anna's the target Videl's a-a friend" he blushed.
Chichi blinked "G-Gohan if I didn't know you better I'd think you wished they were ONE person" she then smirked.
"Well, well, well! Look whose here the humanoids of earth's main protection" a female voice snickered.
"Ana!!" Gohan saw her. She was hovering in front of the open window.
"It is HER" Mai said.
"Very soon this world shall end…and there's nothing you AIR-heads can do to STOP it" she then grunted and then cackled holding the unconscious Videl and vanished with Yoke.
"VVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLL" Gohan yelled…the scene faded out.
"Destiny …and fate…what things…what people would do for love…what people shall do to be close…fate…how it works in mysterious ways.." she closed the book and left the room. The curtains swayed into the winds…the scene fades out. "And all this…where something is missing…"
Bulma: Hello everyone! Next time: Rescue Videl Gohan!
Chichi: YEAH! And where are my grandkids.
(Bulma shoves her aside)
Bulma: Next time: For the love of my Videl…don't miss it! See you on the house the next: DBR!!
Chichi: DAMMIT BULMA!! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!
LE FIN: 5/24/2003 a.k.a. 平成15年5月24日!!!
