Chap 15, Revealed to the Lost
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
QUITE A FEW HOURS BACK, A FEW MINUTES AFTER GOHAN WAS CAPTURED . . .
Frieza sneered at the struggling young Saiyan, holding up the shot to the light. He carefully pushed up the side to make sure it would work. Gohan stared at him, eyes wide as he tried to fight the fear that was erupting inside of him. He didn't want to know what was in that shot and he didn't want Frieza to be able to put that thing in him. Unlike his father, Gohan didn't fear needles, but at the moment, that was slowly disappearing.
Frieza positioned the shot on Gohan's enormous bicep and pressed it down. Gohan let out an inhuman yell, screaming as white-hot pain laced through his body and brain. After a minute of quivering and grimacing violently, Gohan's head hung down uselessly, the pain still there working its magic.
Frieza chuckled. "Why dirty my hands with human and Saiyan blood when you can do that for me?" he sneered. His floating throne turned and zoomed off, leaving the broken Saiyan behind.
~*~*~*~
I stared at him trying to agitate him the best I could, but he didn't seem to care.
"Show your face to me!" I shouted at him.
He chuckled. "Too easy" I sighed in frustration.
"Can't you give me a clue?"
"Fine, fine you baby. I'm a Saiyan. Does that help at all?" he complied. I groaned. This was not helping. I'd already seen his tail an hour ago.
"Nope" I murmured. He laughed.
"What does your name start with?" I asked hopefully, maybe this would help.
"Pick a random letter and think of a name" he drawled out. I sighed. This was not helping at all. I lay on my back and stared up at the ceiling.
"I wish Gohan was here" I murmured, practically oblivious to my words. I heard the man suddenly stiffen and start fidgeting. I glanced at him curiously.
"What?" I asked him.
"What relation do you have to this Gohan?" he asked uneasily. I stared at the cave's roof. What was my relationship with Gohan?
"I don't know" I whispered, before turning towards him angrily. "And it's none of business anyway!"
"Touchy" he muttered and I could hear him shift into a different position. "C'mon! Just take a guess!"
"Fine! Uh . . . Vegeta?" I asked uneasily. He suddenly burst out laughing and he visibly slapped his knee in the shadows.
"Okay, where the heck do you come up with that one?! If Vegeta had heard you I don't think I would have been able to stop him from strangling you!" he stated.
"Okay . . . meanie . . . Bardock" He didn't sound like him, but he was around the same height.
"Nice try"
"Goten!" Okay, yeah I know, Goten is a kid and hardly as tall as this man, but I was hoping he might get PO-ed so I could maybe get a clue from his temper.
"You have got to be kidding me"
"Goku"
"Again, nice try. Fairly close actually" Well duh! Goku didn't speak so grammatically correct. I doubt he knew some of the words this guy did.
"Trunks"
"Hardly. Stop playing around. You're running out of Saiyans you're familiar with"
"Slave master"
"Oh c'mon! I'm not that cruel at all!"
I pulled my legs to my chest and buried my head in my knees so he wouldn't be able to see my shocked face. It couldn't be Gohan. Sweet, charming Gohan wouldn't treat me like this! He wouldn't hold a knife to me. At the thought, I couldn't help, but stroke my cruelly cut hair. I bit my lip and peeked out from between my knees at the shadowed figure.
Words drifted into my head and I shut my eyes at the words. -"So sad though that you've never experienced anything so much fun as killing someone. It sends the most fantastic thrills through your body!"- That's what he had said in my dream. Gohan wouldn't kill anyone! He would never kill someone! An image of a furious ten-year-old launching himself at an alien standing over a crushed woman pushed itself into my memory.
"You can't be him . . ." the words slipped through my mouth for all's ears.
"Can't be who?" the man whispered softly. I could hear him stand up and walk slowly towards me. "Who?"
"You can't be GOHAN!" I shouted, glaring up at him. He bent down next to me, the shadows slowly drifting from his face. He placed a calloused yet soft hand on my shoulder and I stared at him, wide-eyed.
"Can't I?" My eyes probably rounded to the size of saucers. I launched myself backwards, crab-crawling till I was pressed to the cool cave wall.
"No, you can't! Gohan is sweet and nice and he wouldn't ever kill anyone! You! You talk about how fun it is to kill people! You taunt me! Gohan wouldn't ever do that!" I shouted angrily. He walked towards me and crouched down in front of me so I could see his face.
"I am Gohan. I'm not wanting to act this way! Frieza changed me. He wants me to kill everyone with my own two hands! You have no idea how hard it is to fight this. He's trying to control me and his strength in doing this is growing every second. He's making me act like this! Please Videl, I don't want to hurt you! Don't anger me and you'll be alright!" he whispered urgently, his hands clutching my shoulders again tenderly.
"Gohan?" I whispered.
He nodded softly. I couldn't control the surge of tears down my cheeks. I threw my arms around his neck and buried my head in his neck. I've been keeping strong for a long time; I think I deserve a good cry. Gohan fell back against the ground at my sudden weight, his legs sprawling out with me in between them. He wrapped his arms around my back gingerly and I pulled myself tighter against him.
"I thought Frieza had killed you!" I whimpered. Gohan pulled back and looked at me innocently.
"Me?" he asked quizzically. I stared at his face. Our noses were just a centimeter away; our lips, an inch away. I felt my face slowly creeping forward as I stared at his lips.
"You" I whispered.
Gohan's hands crawled up to my cheeks, holding the sides of my head. He slowly turned his head to the side, fitting his lips over mine. I sat there stunned, not knowing exactly how to react to this. Gohan, sensing my hesitation, started to pull away, innocently blushing, but I placed a hand on his neck, pushing him back. A buzz of emotion hit me in my stomach as I slowly worked my mouth on his, pleasurable thrills playing up my spine. Gohan gripped the back of my shirt, pulling me closer. Somehow we had worked our mouths open and I sighed in pleasure at the feel of Gohan lips. We finally pulled back and I watched Gohan, my eyes wide.
"Did we just . . . ?" Gohan whispered, staring back at me.
"Kiss?" I finished. I nodded slowly and Gohan blushed, his face red as a tomato. I slowly pulled away, blushing. Gohan looked away, still flushed.
Suddenly, he snapped his eyes closed, grimacing. He pulled away harshly and backed away to the other side of the cave. He curled over his knees, his hands flexing in front of him. The muscles in his jaws tensed as he grinded them. When he looked towards me, I couldn't help, but feel horrified. His eyes were filled with pain and rage. Electricity began circulating around him, shocking anything that came near to its death.
"Videl . . ." he growled out and I stared at him fearfully. Here was the guy I had just kissed so tenderly and yet he was so powerful. If he wanted to, he could take me out in seconds. He could beat me so badly if he was angered enough. "Please Videl! Go out of this cave and get Bardock! Please! GET BARDOCK!" he thundered. I scrambled to my feet and looked back at him over my shoulder. "PLEASE GO!" he shouted harshly.
I quickly nodded and ran as fast as my bare feet would take me, the rocks ripping away at my feet. Tears fell from my eyes like rain and I stumbled out the entrance. I looked around and when I spotted the older Goku-look-a- like I ran towards him. I grabbed his arm and he turned to me where I stood panting, trying to get enough breath to speak.
"Please! Gohan . . . he's here . . . that cave" I gasped, pointing towards the cave I had left. "Frieza did something to him and he needs your help!" I shouted. Bardock looked at me in surprise and nodded. He shot off towards the cave, Goku and Vegeta following close behind.
I stumbled backwards, landing on my bottom. ChiChi rushed to my side. When she spotted my bloodied feet she cried out and ran off for some gauze. Bulma sat down next to me and held my head her lap, letting me cry. When ChiChi returned, she had placed a towel across her lap, positioning my feet in her lap before starting to wrap them. Bulma shushed my tears and I could see Goten and Trunks crowding around me in interest. I grabbed ChiChi's hand and she looked up at me in surprise.
"He kissed me ChiChi! He kissed me!" I cried out, the tears flowing faster. "If Frieza hurts him I swear I'll kill him!" Bulma just shushed me again and I sniffed uncontrollably.
Gosh he had to be okay. He had to!

Author's Note: I finally did this chapter! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! ^_^ I didn't exactly get what I wanted, but what I got was good enough. I got a drawing kit so I could draw better, have better texture and all and an enormous sketching pad. I also got a new cd player since my old one is DEAD! I drew a picture for my mom of her favorite bird and she wants to get it framed!
Okay, I know you all don't really care about that, but I had to share it with someone. Hope you enjoyed the chapter! I don't know if this is a cliffhanger . . . is it? If it is then sorry, I just have a habit of ending chapters with cliffhangers!
OverCookedChickenNugget : Do you still think he's an @$$hole?
fluffgirl : Well here it is, but I can't promise how fast I'll be with the next chapter.
DBZjess1182003 : Thank you!
ss4goku2003 : *winces* Yeah, I'm the cliffhanger queen, though I bet a few could argue that.
Jessica C : Oh Happy Birthday! How old are you, if you don't mind me asking? So who did you think it was? Were you right?
v son sayian : You got a few answers here to a few of your questions. Videl got into the cave because Vegeta took her there when he knocked her out. Easy with the questions! It's hard to respond to them because it's so clumped together!
bulma-caz : Stop bashing your head, you don't what a concussion do you?! Or do you? Hm . . . as you can see, it wasn't Bardock.
ashley : No, thank you for the review!
Emma, Mistress of Thunder : IIE!!! Don't be cross! I updated! See! Lotsa words here! 1,646 words actually. Count em', you'd see I was right!
DarkPheonix365 : I get loaded with homework! I'm in all the smarty-people classes so I get extra homework and I hate it! The reason I update so late is because I'm usually reading fics or drawing or something like that! Triple crap? That's . . . different.
Amy Hirosaki : Don't worry about the gender thing anymore! I've totally forgotten about it! Begging will get you no where! I should've prolonged who it was for at least two chapters, but that would take SO long and I'd be tantalizing myself to do it! Sorry, but no sicko Vegeta.
crazed fanatic anime fan : Actually five of the Saiyans in this story have black eyes, so that's nothing you can really rely on. Good guess!
DBZ Chick1 : Thanks!
