thank you Saiyachick for your 300th review! *feels special* Yeah there's a
lot of talking in this one. But hope you like it anyway!

"So after I knocked you to the ring you don't remember anything?" Gohan asked her, after he was awarded the championship.
Videl shook her head.
"Nothing from between then and when you were declared winner." She said.
They were on a deserted island alone, however it had been hard to dodge his mother and brother trying to congratulate him, he told them that it was important that they leave early and he brought Videl to this island. They were sitting in the grass alongside themselves.
"Videl, after I threw you to the ground, you got this look in your eyes and started attacking me like crazy." He said, looking at her meaningfully.
She put a hand on her temple.
"I did?"
"Yeah, I had seen that look before though, on Trunks face right after he won the kid's tournament. When I talked to him about it afterwards he told me that he felt like there was something wrong with his body and he got a sick feeling in his stomach, did you get that?" Gohan asked.
"Well after I did have a sick feeling in my stomach, what is this about, Gohan? Please tell me." She pleaded him.
"Well.. it's just a theory really, we'd have to check it out but.." He started.
"And..?" she asked.
"Videl, during my training I found out something that scared me but could be useful to us now. I have found out that, only using my mind I can go into other people's bodies and tell them what to do, talk to them in their minds, or just watch their life from their body." He said, trying to explain.
"You mean.. you can possess someone?" She asked, intrigued.
"Well.. yeah. It scared me, because I could not only tell the body to do something I could control the other parts of the body, like the organs, if I wanted to make the heart beat faster I could, if I wanted to slow it down, I could, and.." he stopped, and sighed.
He looked to her.
"and.. if I wanted to make the heart just stop, I could too." He said, sombre.
Videl felt tears on her cheeks, more sprung soon.
'Maybe.. mother died from that?' she thought.
Gohan stopped, his heart wrenched to see her cry and he held her to him, she accepted the comfort. Though not sobbing, the tears wouldn't stop coming. He held her close to him until she stopped crying, when she did he asked her if he should continue and she nodded.
"I think that, when Trunks was just crowned the junior champion, there was someone who went into his body, but didn't possess him, therefore he still remembered it. I think when you were fighting me the same person possessed you and controlled you. But I'm not sure that if someone controls you, you lose memory, it could be that they made you forget." He explained.
Videl frowned at this new information, she felt powerless for one of the first times in her life, someone had controlled her body and she hadn't even realised it until Gohan told her.
"How about you go in my body and control me and we see if my memory is still there." She said.
He looked surprised.
"Are you sure, Videl?" he didn't think she would volunteer this right after being possessed before.
"Gohan, I trust you and this is one thing we need to find out, right?" she said.
He nodded.
"So what do I need to do?" she asked.
"Just stay where you are, this won't take long, are you ready?" he asked.
She smiled and nodded.
"Alright then." He said, smiling too.
He sat crossed legged and went into his mind, and into the staircase room. He went up one stair and found Videl's picture there, it seemed to be the closer you were to the person in distance the easier it was to find them on the staircase. He touched the picture and went into Videl's body.
"I hope this works." Gohan heard her say.
'Me too.' He thought to himself.
G/V stood up and looked around, he decided to do some flips and then left Videl's body. Back in his own body, he moved closer to Videl and looked at her.
"Did you do it?" she asked.
"Alright so now we know that they aren't erasing your memory, so that's good." Gohan said.
To her, it was just the same blank, but instead of a sick feeling she got a warm feeling afterwards. Sick feeling.. like with the voice..
"When you're in someone.. you can speak to them, right? In their mind.." she asked, hesitantly, unsure of what she heard before.
"Yes, or you can choose to block your own thoughts so that the person you're possessing can't hear you." Gohan said, looking at her quizzically.
"I.. in the past I heard someone speak to me in my mind, and I always got the same sick feeling as I got when I was possessed. It told me stuff, it told me that you hated me, that you never loved me and even that you got Jackson to shoot me. Am I being crazy or do you think this was someone in my body?" she asked, just remembering that terrible voice made her shudder.
His eyes widened, he put his hands on her shoulders and got an alarmed look on his face.
"Videl, why didn't you tell me about this?" he asked.
"No, never mind, the important thing to find out is when was the last time you heard this voice?"
His eyes didn't seem to think that she was crazy, so she continued.
"Right before Christmas, then I didn't hear him again." Videl said.
"Wait, why such a large gap in time since you heard the voice? And why was it able to control you today?" He wondered, racking his brain.
Her hand went to her neck where her necklace that Gohan gave her usually was, she drew comfort in it, but she touched her bare neck.
'Right, I took it off for the fights..' She thought.
She reached into her pocket and drew out the necklace.
A light went off in Gohan's brain.
"You.. weren't wearing your necklace!" He exclaimed.
Videl looked to him, with a sorry expression on her face.
"I only took it off in case someone tried to strangle me with it, I wear it all the time other wise." She said, hoping he wasn't mad.
"No, it's not that, that necklace is special. You see those symbols, those are protection symbols, I had Dende make it for your Christmas present. So you weren't wearing it in the match.." He started.
A look of realisation dawned on her face.
"So he was able to take control of my body, but whenever I was wearing it he couldn't!" She quickly put her necklace back on.
"I thought that I always felt safe when I was wearing that thing." She laughed.
"I hope it stays that way.." Gohan said, trying to smile.
