Chapter Eleven: What Happened?
-
Videl's eyes were pretty much locked shut and her teeth were grinding together. It was only a few seconds but that was enough to have tears streaking down her face and making her wonder if she was going to get out of this little escapade alive.
So far, not so good.
She cried out to her father again, or at least she thought she did. She might have just screamed plain and simple.
Right before she blacked out she felt arms go around her waist and someone cradle her. She thought for a moment about who it was before the blackness swallowed her up.
-
Videl opened her eyes groggily and saw way more than one pair of eyes looking down at her. When that registered in her brain, she did the one thing she could think of.
…she screamed
All the eyes that were around her disappeared when she heard some bustling and the word 'shoo, shoo, you idiots!' be said more than once. She blinked a few times and was met with no eyes this time though she still felt a presence or two in the room…
She heard some rustling than felt someone hold her hand.
"Videl?" The voice asked her quietly. Videl blinked her eyes and looked over to the right, where the voice came from.
"Huh?" She said dumbly, her mind still not quite caught up with the rest of her, even though she screamed just moments before.
She heard someone chuckle lightly and than a light rub on her hand. She blinked her eyes, her senses coming back to her. She didn't know who she was expecting, but Gohan wasn't on the list.
But none-the-less, Son Gohan was sitting behind her smiling lightly at her. She tried to figure out where she was but came up blank in that department. Looking back at Gohan she worded her question carefully, still a little hazy and tired, dust still in her eyes.
"Where the hell am I?"
The wonders of being asleep.
Gohan grinned at her again and Videl didn't know whether or not she should be angry at him, granted there was really no reason to be angry at him but that wasn't the point SO…
She started to examine her surroundings trying to figure out where she was. Looking at Gohan she glared at him slightly.
"To answer your previous question…" Videl snorted at his wording. "…we're at a friend of the family's… well… future friend I guess…" Videl looked at him confused.
"What the hell do you mean?
"I mean-" The door swung open and Videl ducked under her covers. She seemed to know exactly who would be coming through that door before the person even entered.
"SWEET PEA! You're up! Eh…why are you under the covers? Is it the boy's fault?! IF IT IS I'LL KILL HIM! I'LL TEAR OFF HIS ARMS AND LEGS AND-" Videl groaned, tuning him out. She looked over at Gohan and mouthed the words 'sorry'. Gohan seemed to be in severe pain from the sheer volume of her father's yelling, clutching his hands to his ears in an effort to drown the man out.
She didn't blame him.
Groaning she popped her head out from under the covers and glared at her father. She opened her mouth to say something to her father but someone beat her to it.
"Sit you keester down you fat idiot!" came a scratchy voice. Videl and Gohan both look down at a very small woman…wearing a witch's costume?!
Videl looked at the woman than to Gohan, until she finally settled her gaze on the small woman again. She kept on talking.
"Now…about my payment…" Gohan groaned lightly which confused Videl. Did he even know who the lady was?
-
Gohan groaned when the lady or 'Baba' as he knew her said the deadly word of the day which was…payment.
He's never actually met her but he knew how to find her, thanks to his dad from when he was younger, and surprisingly Roshi who was always complaining about her.
He also knew that the word 'payment' didn't mean money. Unlike Hercule.
"Money? MONEY?! You gotta be kidding me! You get to take care of the daughter of none other than…ME! The World Champion!" He grinned at her but Baba looked up at the man as though he was nuts.
"Last I checked, idiot, the world champion was my brother." Gohan heard her mumble 'But I can still beat the baldless dope up.' And grinned lightly, knowing that was probably true.
Hercule grinned wider at that.
"And I bet I could beat him to a pulp!" Baba looked at him for a few seconds than turned to Gohan.
"Now about my payment…" She said, completely ignoring Hercule who started to look lost, "…I need entertainment, fi-" Gohan gulped, "-ghting entertainment." She looked back at Hercule when he started to laugh annoyingly again.
"Fighting? I'M the world champ! If anyone knows how to fight I-" Gohan tuned them out and looked towards Videl who was holding her head in her hands.
"Gohan?" She whispered. He leaned forward and whispered 'Yeah?' "Kill my dad for me, okay?" He cracked a grin but didn't say anything.
"-so then we have a deal?" Brought Gohan back to the conversation the two adults in front of him were having. Hercule laughed again.
"You bet your…uh…HAT!" Gohan rolled his eyes while Videl groaned. Gohan cut into the conversation.
"Um…ma'am? Can you please tell me what's going on? I was uh… talking to Videl and I was just wondering-" Baba cut him off, just started to talk where he let off.
"We shall a small tournament. I have five competitors of my own. You may have five or less competitors on your side and only one may fight at a time, same rules for my side. You must win three out of five fights. If you don't weeeeeeeeell… let's just say your all gonna be getting a little curse followin' ya's." She laughed and left the room. Gohan tried to calm himself down.
Okay, this is fine. I don't have to fight, I mean, why should I? Her five competitors are more than likely humans and Hercule IS stronger than a lot of humans… and I bet even some of the guys on the football team can fight and beat these guys so no problem…right?
Like Gohan could get away that easily.

A/N: I'm having terrible writers block guys. Hopefully I can overcome it before the next chapter which I have a lot that I can set up for it… I better get going. Bye.
