A/N: hey peeps! I am VERY sorry about the long wait but trying to update
this as soon as possible but with the musical being one week away and all
the schoolwork, there just isn't a lot of time. But here's chapter four!
What Lies Beneath the Stardom
Chapter Four
It was a long ride to Hyuntai's Beach. A little TOO long for Gohan's tastes. If he heard one more thing about one of Erasa's boyfriends..oooh. The van came to an abrupt halt as Sharpner said, "We're here!" Gohan came out of his thoughts and looked out the window. It was a bright and sunny beach with lots of sand and VERY blue ocean. Videl stepped out of the car and felt a warm breeze whisk through her hair, little droplets of ocean water spraying on her face.
" Man. This place is beautiful!"
" Yeah. And just imagine all the cuties we'll see when we get to the actual beach!"
Sharpner laughed and stepped out of the car beside Gohan, "Why look for them when you've got us?"
Erasa and Videl looked at each other and collapsed in a fit of laughter. "Oh…*laugh* that was a *laugh* good one..*laugh* Sharpner." Videl said between giggles.
Gohan sighed and opened the trunk of the van, taking out their stuff. Sharpner and Erasa picked up their belongings and headed for the beach. Videl grabbed her bag fron the trunk and waited for Gohan to follow. He did so and questioned her again…
" Videl, what really happened to your arm?"
She winced slightly at him mentioning it, "I told you, I ran into the bathroom door this morning. Ask Erasa. She'll tell you."
" That hardly looks like a bruise from a wooden door. Is there something going on at home?"
She stopped suddenly and looked at him with a small glare, "Look, I appreciate that you're worried about me but I assure you nothing is going on. And if there was, I think I could handle it."
Gohan had to admit, she had a point there. She turned back around and started towards the beach. He followed her not long after. But still, there was a small possibility that she was hiding something. And he was determined to find out.
* * * *
Erasa caught up with Sharpner at the front gate, panting lightly.
"Hey, what happened to Videl's arm?" he asked.
" Oh, that. She walked into the bathroom door this morning. She went to take a shower, then came back in looking for a towel, rubbing her arm."
"I guess it makes sense." He repiled, setting his umbrella down in the sand.
Erasa and Sharpner set up the area with towels, a cooler, two umbrellas, and sunscreen. Videl and Gohan came not long after and they began their beach day. Sharpner took off his shirt and spplied sunscreen to himself. Erasa followed suit, baring down to a Hawaiian print halter and shorts combo. She took the botte of Coppertone from Sharpner and used its contents. Videl stood next go Gohan, taking a look at the others, and how they were so comfortable showing skin. She shivered slightly. Gohan took off his shorts and shirt to reveal a pair of blue swim trunks with a green stripe down the side. Videl gawked at his well muscled upper body. Erasa was right, he was hiding some muscle under those clothes. She ran her eyes up his well-defined torso to the incriments of his chest and arms, needless to say she was drooling(literally). Since when had the straight A bookworm nerd Gohan become so…so…HOT? She shook her head and turned away as she felt him look at her, wincing lightly at the small pain in her arm.
"Well, lookie here, nerdboy has some muscles." Sharpner teased.
" Wow, Gohan, you've been hiding out on us." Erasa exclaimed, squeezing his arm.
" Well, I do work out some times." He stuttered, jumping back from her.
Videl sighed and sat down. Erasa looked over in her direction and grinned. "Come on now Videl. Now is NOT the time to be modest."
" I'm not modest, I just don't want to show skin."
" Hey, we spent a lot of money on that bathing suit and you ARE going to show it!"
" Alright, alright! I will."
" Good. LAST ONE TO THE WATER IS A ROTTEN EGGPLANT!"
Sharpner stopped in mid run. "I thought it was just egg."
Erasa came up from the water, "It is, I decided to spiff it up a little."
Gohan laughed and resumed applying sunscreen to himself. Videl turned back around towards him and began to get undressed. Slowly, she took her tanktop off and hthen her shorts. Gohan looked up and stared. She wore a *revealing* black strappy bikini. Kami, she was gorgeous! He shoved those thoughts aside as she looked at him.
" What do you think?" she asked.
" Well..um..I like it."
"Really? I think it's a little baring."
" Not in the least. It..makes you ..look ..good." He stammered out.
Videl smiled up at him. " Could you rub some of that stuff on my back?" she pointed to the bottle in his hands.
" Sure." He finished, pouring some of it into his hands. She turned her back to him, lifted up her long ebony hair, and pushed the slender straps off her shoulders. He hesitantly placed his hands on her and applied the sunscreen. Her skin was silky soft and felt good under his hands. The part he was afraid of was lower back. He gently rubbed the creamy lather around her waist and down her back, to where the line of the bikini started. He finished and she turned to him.
" Thanks. Lets hit that water!" She yelled as she headed and dived into the cerulean ocean.
" Right…hey..HEY! WAIT FOR ME!" He called out, sprinting for the water.
He dove inside and splashed Sharpner. "Oh that's it, you're dead nerd!" He screeched before dunking Gohan's head in the water. Gohan retaliated with a wave of water to face. He sunk under water and pulled Sharpner's feet under, causing the weaker man to surface, sputtering.
" Man, you sure are a good swimmer."
"It kind of helps when you live by a lake."
" There's a lake by your house?" Videl questioned.
" Yep, Me and my brother go there a lot when it's warm. Maybe you guys could come over sometime and check it out."
" That'd be neat! Right?" Erasa asked Sharpner.
" Sure, I guess."
Videl snuck up on Gohan, " Now it's my turn to attack!" She shouted, dunking him underwater. He was surprised but stayed underwater, pulling her down with him. He came up, and she came not long after.
" Ohhh. You are SO DEAD!" She lunged at him, but he quickly gained the upper hand, grabbing her wrists, pinning them in front of her." Whose the dead one now?"
She tried wiggling away from his grasp, but her attempts were futile. "Fine, but I'd like to see you try and hurt me."
" You're right. I wouldn't do that. I'm TOO kind for that." He said, dropping her hands.
" You are such a pansy" she teased
Gohan laughed. Suddenly, he felt a ki in the distance, and it wasn't one he recognized. His head spun upwards and took a long look at what was coming.
" What's up Gohan?" Sharpner asked.
" Nothing, I just thought I heard something." He lied.
Gohan got up out of the water and dried himself off. Videl and the gang followed. Sharpner complained that he was hungry and they decided to get some lunch. Trekking to the hotdog stand, Gohan felt that ki go up again. This time, it was VERY close to them. Gohan turned around and spotted two highly muscled men coming their way. He turned to Videl.
" Hey, do you know these guys?" he asked, pointing to them.
" Nope, never seen them before. Why?"
" I think something's going on."
The group of men stopped in front of Gohan, who was protecting Videl.
" Move it twerp, unless you want to get squashed." The larger one said.
" Why, what do you want and why are you here?"
" Does it matter to you. We're here for Videl, now move before I'm forced to hurt you."
By this time, Erasa and Sharpner were scared and backing up from the scene.
" What does Gohan think he's doing? He won't survive against these guys."
"I don't know."
" I SAID NOW YOU MEASLY KID!"
" What is your business with her?!"
" Fine, if you want to know, then I'll tell you. We are members of the Yesanra. And we are not leaving until our mission ic complete. We are here to kill Videl Satan."
