Well, the long wait is over! Sorry about that ^.^; I won't make any excuses either, I was being bad. But I have to thank all those that reviewed and sent e-mails to me. It helped me soooo much! Oh, and I did not purchase DBZ between my last chapter and this one so it still does not belong to me.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A small figure with wild dark hair peeked his head through the door. Spotting the massive lump in the bed a wicked grin crawled along his face. Slowly he opened the door, and got in ready position. At the sound of a silent shot the small boy took off and landed cannon ball style on his unsuspecting, and yet strangely soft, victim. A piercing cry arose and Gohan shot up.
Little Goten looked thoroughly confused; if he wasn't sitting on his brother then whom was he sitting on? Gohan's eyes filled with panic and quickly shoved Goten off and uncovered Videl who was gasping for air. "Videl, are you all right?!"
Videl nodded her head and breathlessly reassured him, "Yhea, * cough * I'm * wheeze * fine. * pant *" She slowly sat up as Gohan scolded his brother, the tears in Goten's eyes made him look so helpless and she couldn't help but come to his rescue, despite the fact he felt like a 60 ton anvil that was dropped on her abdomen. "Gohan, I'm fine I already told you that, leave him alone he didn't mean to hurt me."
Goten sniveled, "I'm sorry Videl, I thought you were Big Brother."
"See, he didn't mean to hurt me, he wanted to hurt you!"
"Well then just give the boy a cookie. Why were you in my room anyway? It's too early!"
The tear dried and Goten looked up, "Mama says that it's time for you to get up for ummmm…SCHOOL that's it school. You, gots to get up for school." And with his mission completed he scampered off.
Gohan and Videl stared at the door Goten had just retreated from. "He must have got me harder then I thought, I could have sworn he said that we had school."
"Actually, that's what I heard too." Their eyes meeting they both yelled, "WE CAN'T GO TO SCHOOL LIKE THIS!!!!"
Chichi stormed into the room, "You can and you will. Now get down stairs eat breakfast and go!" With that said she did a quick turn and marched out the door.
Eventually, the couple found them selves flying to school, with Videl in Gohan's arms grumbling. "Okay, you did bring all your stuff right?"
"Yhea, I brought them. Stupid Sharpner always screwing everything up. How about I screw up your head and see how you like that…"
Gohan made a quick pass by his place so Videl could drop off her stuff. They were defiantly not going back to his parents! When that was completed the walked over to the school. Gohan was fidgeting nervously and Videl was still talking to herself about different methods of killing Sharpner. Even though the look on her face said, 'I-hate-you-all' and 'touch-me-and-die" Gohan somehow knew she was enjoying each twisted, bloody thought.
It was a good thing they sat together in class and with Videl's look no one bothered to ask about their uhh 'situation'. Even the teachers kept their distance, who were all very happy because of their new contracts, and gave treats to all the students in their class. Now depending on the teacher's definition of treat they either got free time or a test. (A.N. Does anyone else have those teachers?)
Though it would seem to anyone that this day would continue to go smoothly, however that's not the point of this story. Cause today Videl's and Gohan's class has gym! (scary music in the background)
They stood in front of the gym doors and looked at each other. "Okay how are we going to work this? You can't go into the girl's locker room and I can't go into the boy's and we need to change…"
Gohan scratched the back of his head thinking, when he heard Videl's voice, "If I take him into the girl's room then maybe I can steal a glimpse and see if his butt is really as…" Then her voice died down. Gohan blinked at him a couple of moments before shaking his head deciding he was hearing things. Videl wouldn't say something like that, he might expect it from Erasa, but not Videl!
"Well, we'll just have to skip the changing." And almost as an after thought, "It shame it has to be that way." Gohan turned stiff and eyes bugged as Videl dragged him into the gym.
Gohan stood as far away from Videl as the handcuffs would allow. Videl kept giving him weird looks but he kept his eyes forward. The class was going to play volleyball and so Gohan and Videl sat on the sidelines. When the game had started Videl leaned over to Gohan, "What the heck is the matter with you?! Why did you keep saying that I didn't really say those things? What things are you talking about?"
Gohan looked at her confused then blushed, "When you said that you wanted to…Wait a minute, I wasn't saying anything in line!"
"Yes you were! You kept saying, 'Videl would never say those things.' Like it was a mantra or something!"
Gohan's eyes widen as everything was piecing together in his head. 'She heard what I was thinking so I must have heard what she was thinking and that means…' "Oh, Dende this can't be happening!!!" Gohan yelled attracting the class's attention to himself. Videl quickly gave them all a death glare before giving Gohan her ultimate death glare that he could nearly feel it melting his skin and insides while frying his brain. Videl yanked on the handcuff chain as a demand for him to follow, and he obeyed. Walking out the gym's double door like lamb to the slaughter.
"What the heck was that about! And I don't want to hear any of your wishy-washy lies, clear."
Videl stood there expectantly for Gohan to explain his actions. Now Gohan realized two things one: he's a terrible liar so obviously he couldn't use that as an escape goat. Two: if he told Videl that they're bonding and of course would have to explain all about sayins and their mating stuff ect. We'll I don't think she'd handle it well. Gohan sighed loudly, "Let's leave school early today and I guess I'll explain everything, but you have to promise not to freak out, k'."
Videl waved her free hand impatiently, "Yhea, yhea, yhea." 'Geez you'd think he's going to tell me something serious! I already know he's Sayinman and the Goldfighter, and even if I didn't that wouldn't be enough to freak me out…what if he's referring to a disease he has?! OMG, maybe I've contracted it! Just a minute Videl, you're overreacting! All he's going to do is confirm my suspicion.'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* (Gohan's) *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
'Okay this is worst then the disease. He wants me to believe that he's an alien hybrid. My gosh I think he's finally cracked! That proves another one of my hypothesis too much school is bad for someone's mental health! This is great I can make a great deal of money and be a hero in the eyes of everyone on Earth! To bad that it's at Gohan's disadvantage but there's casualties in every war I suppose.' Videl sat there completely spaced out, Gohan had stopped talking awhile ago and was worried when Videl didn't make a move. She'd been sitting there for nearly a half an hour after he had stopped talking 'cause he noticed that she was no longer with him.
'Maybe all this is a little much for her. I knew I shouldn't have told her! Now she's in a state of shock! I hope this is only temporary, and that she isn't having a mental brake down.' Suddenly Videl started laughing hysterically.
"You actually think that you're an alien!"
"Well, depending on how you look at it. To Piccolo I'm full alien but to my parents only half." This just caused Videl to laugh harder and Gohan started to worry that she wasn't getting enough oxygen. "Videl it's really not that funny and you're missing the seriousness of it all!"
Videl bit back her laughter and managed to blurt out, "You're right I'll go call the Psycho Ward and see if they have a space for you Hahahaha!"
Gohan eyes narrowed into slights and her growled dangerously, "Videl, I am not playing with you."
He's tone actually frightened Videl to the point she'd stopped laughing and looked up at him with wide eyes. "You're not."
Gohan slowly shook his head, "Look Videl do you remember when you thought you heard me continuously say something during gym," Videl nodded her head, "Well, you were hearing my thoughts. Now don't say anything just yet. Before we went into the gym and were discussing locker rooms I heard your thoughts. Well, in the Sayin culture that is the first step in mating."
Videl gulped and her mind began to race. 'If him being half Sayin is true then that would explain a lot about him. Him jumping 40 feet in the air, how he's able to fly, all those times he's accidentally breaks lockers or other hard objects, how we could hear one another's thoughts and,' "Hold up mating?!" Gohan blushed a deep crimson and nodded. "But I didn't agree to any of this! Don't I get a choice in the matter?" Videl yelled.
Videl's emotions were running wild and it began to effect Gohan, "Well, according to Vegeta the only way a Sayin bonds is through mutual consent."
"But I didn't sign anything Son Gohan."
"That's not what I meant by mutual consent. I meant that we both share an attraction to one another."
"If this is the first step then there's got to be more."
Gohan looked around nervously, "How about we get something to eat I'm really hungry."
"SON GOHAN, YOU WILL ANSWER MY QUESTION NOW!"
"Yes, this is more of the courtship, there's a point when I must well, I guess you can say hunt you, and then of course the actually mating process… Videl are you alright?"
Videl's face had turned a terrible shade of white then grabbed her head and began to shake her head in a denial fashion, "SON GOHAN I HATE YOU!!!"
"Videl, please don't be made at me! It shouldn't have even gone this fast I mean we haven't known each other long enough."
"Then why is it going 'this fast'!"
"I don't know maybe the handcuffs have something to do with it! I DON'T KNOW VIDEL OKAY! I JUST DON'T KNOW!"
Videl stopped and a feeling of pain hit her but it wasn't her pain it was Gohan's. She wanted to help him but she couldn't. She didn't know what to do. "How about we just go to bed. We are both an emotional mess and won't be able to do anything right if we keep this up." Gohan nodded absent-mindedly and lead Videl to the bedroom where he immediately fell asleep. Videl however stayed awake and watched him for a little while. "I'm sorry Gohan, I just don't think I'm ready for something like this." She kissed him softly on the forehead and went to sleep.
