After what seemed like hours, Videl moved closer to Gohan, their noses
touched. Gohan shook a little. They stared deeply into the others eyes.
Still they moved closer, until Gohan pulled away. He stood up shaking his
head.
"Videl.I'm sorry, but we are after all only 10." Gohan apologized. For some reason, at that moment he felt much older, like he was a grown adult. But he wasn't, and he had to accept that. Videl looked at the ground then stood up abruptly then darted across the yard, and disappeared into the forest. Gohan didn't turn to watch her. He fell to his knees and punched the ground, making it crack and rumble. He let a single tear hit the ground, but that was all. He stood up and walked into the cozy house. He heard Goku say something, but he didn't wait to hear, instead he went into his room and shut the door. Sitting on the side of the bed, he remembered when Videl had first spoken to him. It felt so long ago. It felt like they had known each other for years. But alas, they had only met just a week before.
Gohan laid down on his bed at stared at the ceiling. He must have fallen asleep, because when he woke up it was dark. For some reason he had an urge to go outside. Once under the night sky, he walked blindly to the river, not realizing where he was going until he got there. At first, he just gazed into the water, but a noise distracted him into looking to his right. A there she was. Videl was standing next to him looking into the river. Slowly she turned to look at Gohan. He noticed something about her seemed different. Then it dawned on him, that she was smiling. Smiling a real smile, her eye's showed no sadness. She had a sweet, elegant smile. And she looked at him with loving eyes. Gohan started to say something, but she softly placed her finger over his lips. Then she said something
"Gohan, I just wanted you to know, that, I'm happy. I'm truly happy, and it's all because you helped me. You offered the type of kindness I needed, you listened to me. That's all I really wanted. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart." Videl's voice was gentle and full of passion.
Gohan smiled back at her, returning her affection. He took her hand in his, and they moved closer once again. This time Gohan wasn't afraid. They edged closer, Videl tilted her head, and finally their lips met. Both had shut their eyes. They stood there, with that single kiss still going. After a while, they pulled apart, and smiled at each other. (Man these kids are matured for their age!)
Gohan, still holding Videl's hand, he lead her through the forest back to the cozy little house. Together they climbed back through Gohan's window, and together they fell asleep curled up with each other on his bed.
~~~~ Two moths past, since the two first met, and still Gohan's mother had NO idea, there was anything special between them. At first it was just another normal day, but it wasn't going to end that way. Around lunch time, someone knocked on the door. Gohan and Videl peered out the window and were shocked to see an old paint peeling car. A thin man was standing on the other side of the door, and Videl grasped Gohan's shirt in fear. He was let in, and started talking to Chichi. Goku was off at Master Roshi's, so he missed out on the formal conversation. Chichi got a sad look on her face, and it was still there when she walked into Gohan's room, where the two children were waiting intently.
"I'm afraid, I have some bad news." Chichi began "It seems Videl's old foster family would like her back."
Videl shot her eye's to the car outside. That's when she saw something she never wanted to see. In that car was a boy, about 3 years older than her. He looked over to the window, and met Videl's gaze. Immediately she shot her eyes from the window over to Gohan. Chichi left the room, to let the two say good bye.
"Gohan..I can't get in that car." Videl stated.
"Videl.." Gohan started.
"No, a boy named Chipp Sakano is in that car. Chipp.he's the boy, that gave me the scar on my back. "Videl quivered as she spoke his name. "I don't understand why he's not in jail."
Gohan looked over to the car, but no one was in the car. Gohan became confused until he saw a boy walking up to the door. And his mother did something he really didn't want her to do, she let him in. Then Videl let out a small cry as Chipp walked into Gohan's room. Gohan glared at him with disgust.
"So.Videl, you thought you'd done me in. Thought you'd never have to see me again did you?" Chipp said wittingly.
"Videl.I'm sorry, but we are after all only 10." Gohan apologized. For some reason, at that moment he felt much older, like he was a grown adult. But he wasn't, and he had to accept that.
