What's Up With Hercule?

"Goten! Get up now you have to go to Trunks'! Don't think I forgot about Vegita's punishment for you!" screamed Chi-Chi up the stairs towards Gotens room where he was trying to hide under the covers of his bed hoping that by being under his covers it would mean he didn't have to go.

"Don't make me go up there!" yelled Chi-Chi again. "Come on Goten I thought you were stronger than this! You knew there would be consequences to your actions when you did them now stop being a coward and face the consequences!"

Well needless to say being called a coward hurt Gotens sayin pride, "I am not a coward!" he yelled back.

"Well come prove it before I come up there with my frying pan!"

Grumbling Goten walked down the stairs to eat his breakfast before heading off to what he thought would probably be his doom.

"Knock. Knock." Called Chi-Chi from out side Gohans door after Goten had left, she had gotten him up extra early as Vegita had asked.

"Come in Mum."

"Good morning Gohan. When Videl wakes up tell her I finished her clothes and that they're sitting over here." Chi-Chi told her son seeing Videl was still asleep in his arms.

"Sure thing Mother darling."

"Oh Gohan your a sweetie!"

"Hey Ma how would you like to start training again?"

"I would love to Gohan but you know you men are too strong for me." Chi-Chi answered softly.

"Well we're also too strong for Videl as well and I'm sure she'd want to keep up her training, I know how much you used to love training with Dad, he told me once. Why don't you train with Videl, she'll appreciate a sparring partner."

"That's a great idea Gohan. I'll see what she says. Thanks for thinking of me sweetie."

"Always Mum."

Gohan lay in bed listening to Videl's soft breathing for about 5 minutes until she began to stir.

"Gohan? How come you didn't wake me? Won't we be late?" She asked quickly.

Gohan smiled down at her and ran a finger along her cheek and jaw line. "Relax we don't have to get up for at least half an hour."

"Then why are you awake already?"

"I heard Mum yelling at Goten. Oh by the way Mum came in and said your clothes she made are over there." Said Gohan pointing in the direction of where his mother had placed the clothes.

"Thanks. Ah, Gohan, why are you staring at me?"

"You're so beautiful." Was his only comment, he then tilted her head toward his and kissed her gently. 'Mmm. She tastes so nice like strawberries, blue berries and raspberries all at once.'

'Oh Dende he's delicious like apple and cinnamon. He's so gentle not like the time Sharpener kissed me. Oh forget him I'm with Gohan and in the middle of the best kiss ever.' Thought Videl letting the kiss get deeper. Videl felt Gohan's tongue brush her lips ever so slightly and couldn't help but opening her mouth to let him in.

Gohan rolled over so she was under him they kept on kissing for a while until it was absolutely necessary to refill their lungs. Gohan moved his kisses to her neck and she moaned happily, his kisses then returned to her lips.

"Mmmm. Gohan we have to stop I think it's time to get up." Letting him start kissing her again.

"Gohan we really need to get up."

"Awww Videl do we have to? Why can't we just skip school today? And stay in bed." He added as an after thought.

"As if your Mum would let us. Anyway we need to go to school exams start soon."

"Ok." He said giving her lots of quick pecks anywhere they landed.

"Gohan?" asked Videl as Gohan was getting off the bed.

"Yeah?"

"Do I really taste like berries?"

"Yes." He answered chuckling a bit. Gohan walked towards the bathroom door but stopped and turned to Videl who was watching from the bed. "Do I taste like apple and cinnamon?"

"Yep."

"Oh and Videl?"

"Mmhhmm?"

"Did Sharpener really kiss you?"

Videl blushed a little, "Yeah, about a month before you came to school."

Gohan laughed a bit and continued into the bathroom.

Videl slowly got out of bed and walked over to the clothes Chi-Chi had made for her and grabbed the blue set with white pants. She walked back over to the bed and sat down waiting for Gohan to finish with the shower. Videl looked down at her clothes that Chi-Chi had made her and a tear escaped her eye and before she new it that tear was being followed by many more.

Gohan walked out of the bathroom to see Videl sitting on their bed crying. "Videl? What's wrong?" he asked sitting behind her on the bed and putting his arms around her.

Videl lent back into Gohan's strong arms. "Nothing is wrong Gohan it's just that your family have just accepted me without any questions and their kindness could never be matched. I mean look at the clothes your mother made me they're beautiful and she doesn't even expect me to thank her!"

"That's because you're like family to them and they want you to know it. My parents love you like a daughter and Goten loves you like a sister. Now you go have your shower and I'll wait here for you. Ok? Besides Mum is probably dieing to see you in those clothes! I know I am!"

Videl laughed and lightly punched his arm. "Ok fine."

Gohan waited on the bed for about 10 minutes until Videl came out from the shower. Gohan looked at her in awe of her beauty the blue on her clothes matched her eyes perfectly. Videl smiled at him while walking over to the bed to put her shoes on.

As Videl finished putting her shoes on she stood and waited for Gohan to get up. "Well are you going to get up?" she asked waving a hand in front of his face.

"Yeah." He replied absently while standing and proceeding to catch Videl off guard by kissing her.

Videl broke off the kiss upon hearing Gohan's stomach rumble. "Come on Gohan you can't hide that one I heard it loud and clear!" she laughed because she knew his stomach had been rumbling from the start of the kiss he just didn't want to take his lips off hers.

"Ok."

"Come on." Said Videl grabbing his hand and leading him to the kitchen for their breakfast.

Chi-Chi was busy putting their breakfast on the table. "I thought I heard you two coming down the stairs. I hope you like your breakfast I decided to make something different seeing how I was up early and all."

"I'm sure it'll be great Mum, everything you make is. Is Dad still in bed? Gees sometimes I wonder what he likes better eating or sleeping!"

"Well you see Gohan that's quite a complicated topic, if it's your mothers cooking then I definitely prefer eating but anything else and sleeping definitely has a chance of taking top priority." Explained Goku walking in to the kitchen. "YUM! Chi what's for breakfast I've never seen that before!"

"HeHe. Well I'm glad my cooking takes priority over sleeping!" said Chi-Chi giggling a bit. "This is a Greek dish and they're called souvlaki. What you do is you grab whatever you want on it put it in the middle of this flat bread, wrap it up and eat it." Chi-Chi explained.

"Sounds good Mum but won't it take a long time to actually get to the eating part?"

"Trust you Gohan! I've had these before so come over here and I'll show you the quickest way to make them." Said videl laughing a bit at the looks on the Sons face.

Gohan and Guku quickly followed Videl over to the table, both wanting to know the quickest way to get the food into their mouths.

"Ok so what you do is spread the pitta bread on your plate like this." Said Videl as she demonstrated placing the bread flat on the plate. " Then you grab whatever you want like tomatoes and meat, whatever, put them in the middle, fold the bottom up, fold the sides over and hey presto you've got yourself a souvlaki!"

"Ok sounds easy enough." Said Gohan sitting beside Videl.

Within 10 minutes Gohan and his father had eaten all the food on the table as their sayin speed had aloud them to make their souvlaki in a split second before shoving it in their mouth.

"Chi-Chi before we go I'd just like to thank you for making my clothes they're beautiful."

"There's no need to thank me Videl you're part of the family now."

"Come on Del we gotta go now. Bye Mum, Dad."

"Bye Chi-Chi, Goku."

"Bye!" called Chi-Chi and Goku.

" Come on you two get going! Do you have any idea what it's like having those two women yapping in your ear about their 'poor babies '?!" Yelled Vegita.

As soon as Goten had arrived at Capsule Corp. Vegita had made the two demi- sayins clean the garage where people took their cars to get fixed. There was grease everywhere and Goten and trunks where sure the mechanics had never bothered to clean this place before

"No Vegita we have no idea we weren't there remember?" commented Goten under his breath.

"WELL I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT'S LIKE IT'S SICKENING AND IT GAVE ME A SPLITTING HEADACHE!!!" roared Vegita obviously hearing Goten's comment. "When you two are finished you can clean the house for Bulma you know how she likes things clean."

"Videl are you ok?"

"Yeah Gohan I'm fine just a little tired."

"Ok" said Gohan turning back to his notebook and copying what the teacher had written on the board.

It was fourth period and Gohan couldn't wait to get out side for lunch. Videl on the other hand was trying not to fall asleep as they were in English again.

::This class sucks!::

::What's wrong with it?:: Videl heard Gohan's voice inside her head.

::Wow Gohan our bond must be strengthening! Anyway it sucks because the teacher is an idiot and doesn't know what she's talking about! Why do you even bother with this class anyway you can already speak perfect English?::

::I'm trying to keep my mind off lunch I'm starving!:: Videl heard a very soft rumble come from Gohan's stomach as if it was agreeing with him.

Before Videl could comment the bell rang and all the students grabbed their stuff and pretty much ran out of the room.

Gohan and Videl walked to their lockers hand in hand. When they got there they simply shoved their books in their lockers and Gohan grabbed a capsule with his and Videls lunch in it.

"Come on guys." Said Videl to Eraser, Sharpener and Gohan. The four teenagers began to push through the crowd to get to their usual eating spot under the biggest tree on the school grounds.

Videl sat on the soft grass and put her hand on Gohan's lap as he sat down. "Hurry up and get the food out Gohan I'm starving!"

Well needless to say Gohan didn't need telling twice! He threw the capsule and a rather large amount of food appeared in front of Videl and himself and without a second thought the two went at the food like they had been starved for at least a week.

By the time the two had finished Sharpener and Eraser were openly starring at Videl as they were used to Gohan's eating but videl had just eaten a lot more than usual, she hadn't eaten even a quarter of what Gohan had eaten but she had still eaten 5 sandwiches, 3 bowls of rice and 6 containers of fruit salad.

"Ah Videl I've noticed that you've been eating more than normal lately and Ah well are you sure you're not pregnant?" Immediately after Eraser's question Gohan began to choke on his 40th or so sandwich, Videl pounded him on the back until he swallowed the food.

"Ah Eraser Gohan and I haven't you know..."

"Oh ok just making sure."

"Yeh! WE FINISHED DAD!" yelled Trunks from the top level of Capsule Corp.

"GOOD NOW YOU CAN GO RAKE THE LEAVES AND GET THE LEAVES OUT OF THE SWIMMING POOL WHILE YOUR AT IT!!" Vegita yelled back and smirked he was going to milk this day for all that it was worth.

Goten and Trunks groaned and began to walk down to the bottom level so they could get outside.

"Hey Trunks I got an idea how about you rake the leaves and I'll clean out the swimming pool?"

"Sounds ok by me."

"Ahh. Finally schools out! I thought it would never end!" yelled Videl as she and Gohan walked to the roof of the school and took off.

"Yeah I'm stuffed!"

"Gohan I've been really tired today but I had the best nights sleep last night. What's going on?"

"Yeah me too. I think it's probably the bond wanting to be finished."

"As long as it's nothing serious."

"If it make you feel any better I'll ask Dad tonight."

"Ok thanks I'm gonna ask Chi-Chi about the woman side of things. I don't want any more surprises."

"Look we're home. Who's car is that?"

"Oh Dende that's my Dad's best car he's probably trying to intimidate us."

"Come on." Videl and Gohan landed in front of Hercule who was making his way to the front door.

"Videl baby! I'm sorry about the other night. I don't know what came over me and I'm really sorry!" apologised Hercule as soon as he saw his daughter not registering who was standing beside her.

"I don't particularly care what came over you Dad, you hit me and that's enough information for me. I live with Gohan and his family now." Videl said as she turned to walk inside.

"WHAT? YOU LIVE WITH THE SCRAWNY KID!"

Videl turned back around to face her father. "Gohan is not scrawny he could kick your ass any day and yes I do live with him!"

"AHHH!" screamed Hurcule as his eyes rolled back into his head. When his eyes returned to normal he lunged at Videl. "HOW DARE YOU! YOU WILL DO AS I TELL YOU NOW GET IN THE CAR!!"

"No." Videl replied calmly stepping aside as he lunged.

Hercule recovered quicker than Videl expected and threw a punch at her. It would have hit her if Gohan hadn't stepped in and grabbed Hercule's throat.

"If you ever try to touch her again you be sorry you were ever born." Said Gohan calmly but Hercule could here the rage bubbling underneath the surface.

"Whatever kid but I'll be back."

"Oh no you most certainly will not be back!" yelled Chi-Chi running out with her frying pan.

"IF. YOU. EVER. COME. HERE. AGAIN. YOU'LL. BE. SORRY!" She screamed punctuating each word with a hit by the frying pan.

"Get lost Dad before they get really angry."

"Fine." Spat Hercule turning and leaving in his car

Gohan turned and saw a tear sliding down Videl's cheek. "Come on we're going to go talk he said and picked her up.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see. I go there all the time but I haven't been lately."

"Ok"

"Look we're here."

"Oh wow! It's beautiful!" Videl look around and saw a hot spring surrounded by lots of different types of flowers and the whole lot was encompassed with trees.

"Ok Videl why were you crying just before? I would have thought you would have expected him to act like that."

"I know." Said Videl sitting down and taking her shoes off so she could put her feet in the hot water. " It's just before he got all violent he screamed and his eyes rolled back. Didn't you see?"

"I heard him yell but I wasn't looking I thought you hit him."

"No I didn't. Gohan I thing there's something that's making him act like this, I just don't know what. Will you help me find out? I will with or without your help."

"Ok I'll help as long as you're careful because if he hits you again I'll kill him and I'm not joking when I say that. You're the most important thing to me." He said softly and kissed her gently. When they broke apart Gohan pulled off his shirt and stepped into the spring.

"Come in Videl it's great!"

"Ok." Videl pulled off the top of her set of clothes so she just had her pants and tank top on and stepped in carefully then swam over to Gohan.

::I love you.::

::Wow this is going to take some getting used to! You scared me just then.::

::Sorry::

:: That's ok. I love you too.::
