A/N—Ok, thanks for all who reviewed. I know my story has been going down hill. I am running out of ideas really. ^_^;; I usually don't get writer's block, and it sucks. -_- Well, enough of my blabbing. Here is the next chapter!!!!

"Talking"

Thinking

~*Chapter 23*~

Everyone grouped together with the DragonBalls at Capsule Corp. Everyone was eager to bring Gohan or anyone else that was killed. Videl was excited, but worried.

"Let's see here. Do we have all the balls?" Bulma asked. Goku shrugged and started counting the balls.

"…6…7. Yep. They're all here, Bulma. You don't have to worry." Goku replied with a grin on his face.

"Thank you, Goku." Bulma cheerfully said. Then she looked at the balls with her eyes stern.

"ETERNAL DRAGON! BY YOUR NAME I SUMMON YOU FORTH! SHENLONG!" Bulma yelled as a big flash of light came from the balls. Everyone put their arms in front of their eyes to block the light.

"Whoa! Un-unbelievable!" Videl managed to get out. Then after the dragon was summoned, he turned to the crowd of people.

"Why have you summoned me?" He asked with a loud, low voice. Bulma stepped up in front of everyone.

"Eternal Dragon. I want to wish back anyone who was killed by Sharpener first." She replied. The Dragon's eyes lit up.

"It shall be done." After he said this, everyone who was dead. You could hear, "Huh's?" and "Whoa's!" from the people who awoke.

"It has been done. Now name your second wish." He said, rather grumpily. Bulma turned to everyone and put her thumb up, and then turned back to the dragon.

"I wish to bring back Goku's son, Son Gohan, back to life!" Bulma yelled out. The dragon's eyes lit up again and he said, "It shall be done." Then after a couple minutes the Dragon responded, "It has been done. Farewell." So then the dragon went back in the balls, and the balls flew out in different directions. Everyone looked around, but didn't see Gohan.

"Um…?" Videl said confused. "Where is Gohan?" She added. Everyone was there saying their "Hmm's", until Goku spoke up.

"He's in the place where he died. Back at that cave." He said. Videl dreaded to go back there.

"I'm sure he will come. He'll know what to do." ChiChi said.

"Yes. I feel his power level coming this way." Vegeta replied. Videl's heart beated faster and faster. She closed her eyes and clasped her hands together

Please don't hate me. Please don't hate me. Please don't hate me! Videl thought over and over again. Then he arrived.

"OH GOHAN!" ChiChi screamed as she saw him land. She ran over to him and gave him a HUGE hug.

"Mom…THE LUNGS!" Gohan said as he tried to breathe. ChiChi let go.

"Oops, sorry honey." ChiChi replied with a laugh at the end.

"Welcome back son." Goku replied putting his hand on his shoulder. "It's good to have you back."

"Thanks dad." Gohan replied with a warm smile on his face. Then he looked over his fathers shoulder and saw Videl. She still had her eyes closed and her hands clasped. Gohan started walking over, and when Bulma saw this, she suggested to everyone so that they couldn't hear to go to Capsule Corp. to leave them alone for a while. Everyone agreed and snuck away.

Gohan had an unreadable expression on his face as he walked up to her. Videl could feel a presence and opened one eye.

Oh no… She thought as she looked up at him. His expression hasn't changed and she was getting worried. Her heart still beated about 100 times a second, she was so nervous. She took a breath.

"Gohan…I…" She trailed off. A feeling of relief washed over her body when she saw a smile apply on Gohan's face.

"You what?" He asked. She took another deep breath and looked the other direction.

"I…am so sorry…about what happened. Everything must be, well, a living hell for you right now." She replied with held back tears that she would dare not shed. Gohan shook his head.

"Videl. Everything is not a living hell. You know what would make my life a living hell, Videl?" Gohan asked. Videl looked into his eyes and shook her head. Gohan kept a smile on his face and embraced her, and added, "It would be a living hell if you were gone right now." Videl's eyes no longer held the tears, for she let them all out after he said that. She sobbed into his shirt while he rubbed her back.

"It's ok, Videl. I love you." Gohan whispered into her ear. A smile came across her face.

"I love you too, Gohan." She added, her crying now, coming to a stop. Then a little giggle came out of her mouth.

"What's so funny?" Gohan asked amused. Videl took her face from his shirt and looked at him with a smile on her face.

"I am such an idiot." Gohan raised an eyebrow.

"What? No you're not. What gave you that idea?" He chuckled. Videl laughed.

"The way I acted. I'm such a baby…crying like that…I." She was cut off with Gohan putting his finger on her lips.

"Shhh. You're not a baby. You have good reasons for letting your emotions go." Gohan replied caressing her cheek. Videl smiled and closed her eyes.

"Want to go inside. I'm sure everyone is waiting for us." Gohan said smoothly. Videl nodded and started walking with Gohan.

"I'm pretty thirsty too." Videl replied as they walked in the room. There they found…no one.

"Um. Where is everyone?" Videl asked, confused. Gohan looked around the room.

"I don't know." Then he closed his eyes and Videl stayed quiet. Then a couple minutes later, her opened them.

"They're at Bulma's." He replied smiling. Videl sighed.

"I don't want to fly all the way out there. It's been a rough day." Gohan had a sympathetic smile on his face.

"That's ok. We can just hang out here." Gohan replied. "Want that drink?" Videl nodded, and Gohan headed for the kitchen. Videl just sat at a chair by the kitchen table. Gohan added ice and a drink to each cup and walked over to the kitchen handing one of the cups to Videl.

"Thanks." Videl replied taking a sip of her drink. Gohan nodded and sat down across the table from her. There was an awkward silence and Videl decided to break it.

"We're going to have to make up A LOT of work you know." She stated. Gohan sighed and put his cup on the table.

"I know. We can catch up on work after our drinks." Videl nodded and took another sip of her cup.

"So. Sharpener is dead…right?" Videl asked looking at her drink. Gohan stared at her.

"I believe so. I would have felt his life force." He replied. Videl didn't say anything. Just took the last sip of her cup and put it in the sink. Gohan finished right after.

"Let's go to my room. There are two desks for us. One is my brother's, but he doesn't use it." Gohan replied taking some books and headed upstairs, with Videl following.

"Ok, you do science homework and I'll do math. When we're done, we'll switch books." Gohan said while handing Videl the science book. Videl took the book and stared at it. She didn't want to do any homework. She didn't want to do math. She didn't want to have school. But she knew she had to.

"Ok." Videl replied smiling. Gohan nodded and both of them went to their seats. Videl was done with her science pretty quick. Maybe thirty minutes. But Gohan has been done with his for ten minutes. Videl giggled and they switched books.

"Why don't they just send you to college already?" Videl joked. Gohan shrugged and went back to his seat. Videl also sat down and opened her book. She sighed.

What fun this will be. She thought sarcastically.

Gohan was done with his science within 15 minutes, and noticed that Videl was having some trouble. Gohan walked over.

"Need help?" Gohan asked. Videl put the pencil down on her desk and put her hands over her eyes, and mumbled something that Gohan couldn't figure out.

"What, Videl?" Gohan asked. Videl took her hands from her face.

"I said I can't stand math and that I have a headache." She replied slouching on her chair. Gohan smiled and closed her book.

"You can take a break then. I know it was pretty hard." Gohan replied. Videl smiled warmly and stretched her arms and stood up. She made it so that her arms rested around Gohan's neck when she was done stretching. Gohan put his arms around her waist while Videl leaned her head on his chest. Gohan used his other hand and rubbed her back. Videl closed her eyes and sighed and got out of the embrace. She went over to Gohan's bed a plopped down on it.

"Ahh…" Videl said relaxing. Gohan walked over and lied on the bed as well, snaking his arm around her waist.

"More comfortable?" Gohan asked. Videl snuggled closer to Gohan and nodded. Gohan took his fingertips and ran them through her raven hair, which made Videl giggle. Videl stared at his onyx eyes deeply, and he stared at her beautiful blue eyes the same way. It was too long after that they fell into a passionate kiss. Gohan placed his hand on her cheek, while Videl rested her hand on his arm. Their tongues explored each other's mouths as Gohan went on top of Videl, unbuttoning her shirt, while she unbuttoned his trousers…

A/N—I'm not writing a lemon. I suck at it! ^_^;;;;;

The next morning, Gohan woke up with Videl's head resting on his chest and his arm around her. He smiled at the sleeping beauty beside him and pulled back a strand of hair in her face behind her ear. He kissed her on the forehead and caressed her cheek. She woke up at his touch.

"Gohan?" Videl asked groggily. Gohan smiled at her.

"Yes. It's me." He replied stroking her hair. Videl smiled and sat up.

"Good morning." She said laughing. Gohan also sat up rubbing her back. She got up with the sheets around her and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. Gohan got dressed and cleaned up a bit around his room while she was in there.

About twenty minutes later, Videl came out of the bathroom with a robe around her.

"Feel refreshed?" Gohan asked. Videl nodded and looked around the room.

"I see you tidied up a bit." Videl replied taking her clothes and getting dressed. Gohan put his books in his book bag.

"Yeah, just to pass time." He said. "How about we go downstairs and get breakfast." Gohan said. Videl nodded and walked downstairs with him.

When they walked into the kitchen, they saw ChiChi cooking breakfast and Goten sitting at the table. ChiChi saw them walking in and smiled.

"Well good morning you two." ChiChi asked cheerfully. Videl looked at Gohan, knowing that she knew something.

"Um, good morning mom. When did you get home?" He asked, worried. She out her finger to her chin.

"Um…about three o'clock maybe." She replied turning back to the food. Gohan sighed in relief. They were sleeping by then.

"Mom. How come I had to sleep in your room last night?" Gohan's face turned into blue after Goten's question.

"Um, well honey, I didn't want you to disturb Gohan." ChiChi replied. Goten nodded his head.

"Ok." Well, that answered Videl and Gohan's question of, "Does she know?".

"Mom, can I go to Trunk's now?" Goten asked. She and Bulma planned to have them at Bulma's house today.

"Sure honey, be careful." ChiChi said. Goten smiled and ran out the door and flew away. Uh oh. They're alone in the kitchen with ChiChi…who KNOWS something…

"So guys…what did you DO while I was gone?" ChiChi asked. Gohan looked at Videl.

"Homework, right Videl?" Gohan asked. Videl nodded.

"Yes." ChiChi turned towards them with big eyes which scared the crap out of both of them.

"You guys are SO cute. Trying to deny something to your mother even though she knows!" ChiChi replied. "Grandchildren anytime soon?"

Here it goes…

A/N—So? How was it? Sorry for not writing a lemon, but I'm so HORRIBLE at them. What has Gohan and Videl gotten themselves into? A long lecture of grandchildren, that's for sure! ^_^ Please read and review! Thanks!
