Golden Revelations


(AN: After reading this story would you kindly take a look at the bottom of this story? It contains an important note concerning another one of my stories known as "A Lover's Respect." Thanks for your time, and please don't forget to review!)

Eighteen was just putting the finishing touches on her evening gown and lip- stick as sheheard the sound of running footsteps near her room. Her room had an Ancient Chinesefeel to it. Golden dragon paintings hung on the walls, which were painted in a deepburgundy. Old Chinese symbols and markings in black, gold, and silver decorated anbordered the walls. Even the figure on the dresser was a Chinese symbol, and it meantbeauty. Both Eighteen and Krillin took a large amount of pride in the elegance and sophistication it seemed to give off. Just then her tiny daughter Marron barged into herroom like the little hurricane she was. Now that Marron had aged slightly she no longer closely resembled her father Krillin, in fact she looked remarkably like her mother now.

Eighteen had let her golden blonde hair grow so that it was now past her shoulders, butfor tonight she had decided to put it up into an elegant bun. Her dress consisted of a shimmering jade green gown, with jade green crystals that dangled from her earlobes,and matching stilettos encased her delicate feet. She clasped a silver charm necklace at the back of her neck, and then gave herself another once over in the mirror.

Eighteen truly was a magnificent sight to behold.

"Need something kiddo?" Eighteens asked offhandedly.

Marron looked carefully at her mother for a moment, blinking her big baby- blue eyes,before replying.

"Mommy where are you going tonight? You look really really nice, are you going
somewhere with daddy?"

"Not tonight sweetheart, she replied as she tried to tuck up a stray golden strand, but thank you."

"Ok, well I was just being c-cur-cur...being courteous...cur-c---"

Eighteen shook her head and smiled before swooping down and gathering her tinydaughter in her arms. "Don't you mean curious?"

"That's what I said mommy!" Marron managed through a fit of giggles.

Eighteen laughed as well, her delicate bell-like laughter echoed throughout the empty house as she began to swing Marron around the room. That was exactly how Krillinfound them moments later, still spinning and giggling.

"Well what is going on in here, is there something I should know?" He asked jokingly, a cute grin plastered on his face.

"Daddy!" Shrieked an excited Marron, and she ran over to him as soon as her mother set her back on her feet.

"Hi daddy! Oh, guess what? I made somethin 'specially for you!"

Krillin smiled and ruffled Marron's blonde hair affectionately. "Well then why don't go get it?"

Marron quickly ran out the room eager to show off her surprise to both of her parents.

Krillin turned his attention back to his wife. Where was she going? She hadn't

said anything lately, they had no dinners or plans coming up that he knew of. He

planned ontaking a trip to Goku's later, and if she was going somewhere he

wouldn't be able to go.

"You look awfully nice tonight, way too nice to just be having a simple dinner at home." He said, his eyes never leaving her toned, sexy figure.

She looked so gorgeous, amazing, dazzling...

"Very perceptive of you Krillin. I am, however, glad that you have returned. I plan ongoing out tonight so you'll have to watch Marron tonight. There's some money on thecounter so you can order---"

"Hold on a minute, how come you never said anything before?"

She shrugged as she checked herself over once more in the mirror. "Must have slipped my mind."

Slipped her mind!?

"But where are you going Eighteen? I have plans of my own tonight as well, I can't watch Marron and go to Goku's!"

"Then DON"T go to Goku's Krillin. Eighteen replied as she applied a light amount of foundation to her rosy cheeks. Honestly, I think that I deserve a night off, don't you? I cook, I clean, I take care of Marron everyday, day and night...all I'm asking for is onenight of relief, just one and tomorrow we can go back to the same old routine."

"I can't just cancel last minute Eighteen!" He said, growing slightly frustrated with herunwillingness to relent.

"Why not, it's not like the two of have this planned out! All you ever do over there isspar, and eat, and spar some more. You can let your bulging biceps and inflated egos rest one day at the very least, and if you must know, I'm going to the theatre and dinner."

"With whom?" Krillin asked suspiciously.

"With an absolutely wonderful man that I met a dress shop the other day. He asked me todinner with him, after picking out this dress, and I didn't want him to think me rude bydeclining, so naturally I said I'd be delighted." Her dark eyes sparkling with mischief as she watched her husband go red.

She was joking right? He wondered frantically, it would provide a perfect explanation forthe fancy dress, and the hair, and all that jewelry she was wearing."I'm only teasing you Krillin, Eighteen reassured him even though she was slightly hurtwith his apparent lack of trust in her, I would never do that, but I do have to leave!"

"Leave, he sputtered, but we aren't finished yet---"

"Oh I think we're plenty finished here. Why don't you make this a learning experiencefor yourself, see what it would be like in my shoes for a few hours? The limo will be hereany second so we are through debating this, I'm going and that is that!"

"But..."

She cut him off and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Good-bye Krillin, and have fun!"

And with those last words she was out the door into the black stretch limo, and on her way to a night that would be filled with dancing and laughing the night away.

(Satan Household: Videl's Room)

"What would you think if I went out with your Mom and Bulma? Videl asked quietly, almost as though she didn't want to be heard."

"Huh? Did you say go out with my mom and Bulma?" Gohan asked sleepily.

"No, I asked if you would mind if I dumped you and ran off with your brother!" She ground out in an annoyed tone. "Would you wake up please? You are supposed to be studying, not sleeping! You are gonna fail this exam, and it will be your own fault, but don't say I didn't warn you."

"I never fail! Remember, I am the smartest boy in Orange Star High, so I don't have to worry. I could ace this yawn exam with both my eyes closed..."

"Then you wouldn't be able to see the paper smart ass."

He chuckled in spite of himself. She had a point there.

"Seriously though, you wouldn't mind would you, would it bother you too much?"

"........."

"Gohan?" "Fine, she huffed grumpily, I don't even know why I asked such a stupid thing, of course it would bother you..."

"It's not that, Gohan replied as he shifted uncomfortably in his seat, it's just that mymom's always talking about grandchildren and marriage and you...but she's been quiet recently. All I'm saying is that this could start her up again."

Videl looked up from her book, obviously surprised. Sure Chi Chi could be a little annoying at times with the whole marriage bit, but it was painfully obvious that Chi Chi cherished both her sons and only wanted the best for them. Now that she thought about it, in some sort of strange way, it was a pretty flattering gesture. Chi Chi felt that she, VidelSatan, was worthy enough to date her oldest boy, Son Gohan.

"Do you find it strange picturing the two of us together like that? "

"NO!" Gohan all but shouted. He loved the idea of marrying Videl, or at the very least, someone like her, but he was way too shy to tell her that.

"Then what is it then? Why do you have such a big problem with the idea of me one day becoming your wife? I'm more than sure that I'm not the first girl that your mother has ever said that to!"

Actually...Gohan was unsure of how to continue, there was no easy way to say what kept running through his mind everyday, every night. He had dreamt of the day when they would wed, become husband and wife. He dreamt of the day when they would start their own family, the day that they became Mr. and Mrs. Son Gohan. But he could never tell her that, he knew he was getting too attached, that he might frighten her away if he told how he really and truly felt about her. He had faced demons, androids, aliens, and all before he hit the age of twelve, so why did three little words frighten him so much? It's not like his mother was of any help. In fact, his mother had never been big him dating,
but she had seemed quite taken with Videl, never once, upon meeting his other love interests, did she seem so eager to keep them together.

When Gohan still didn't say anything to assuage her fears Videl sighed and grabbed a random stuffed elephant off her dresser and gave it a squeeze. So much for telling him how she really felt about him. She had been dying to tell him for weeks, but it was never the right moment. She should have known that he wouldn't feel the same things for her as she did him. Why should he? It wasn't as though she was much to look at anyway, with her short spiky black hair, and her mood swings, and her sometimes boyish outfits, but some part of her had hoped that there was a chance. A small chance that maybe, just maybe, he would see her not just as Videl the tomboy, but as Videl the woman, Videl his
girlfriend. Oh well, she might as well get it over with, because if she had to go one more day without saying anything she was going to go crazy.

'C'mon Gohan, he urged himself on silently, you can do it! Just three little words, there's no way around it. Tell her the truth, tell her that---'

'Videl, this is no big deal, just say what you have to say and get it over with! Remember the sooner you say it, the sooner he'll laugh at you, and the sooner you can be at ease with yourself. Even if he doesn't feel the same way about you at least you will have told him that---'

"Look, Videl I'm not ashamed of you at all, I mean I really do like you! I care about you a lot, even if I'm not good at showing it. I've been wanting to say something to you for such a long time and..."

"Gohan I can't wait anymore, Videl interrupted quickly, I have to tell you something!"

However before she could utter another word Gohan began speaking again. "Videl, I need to make understand---"

"I understand that you feel uncomfortable around me Son Gohan but---"

He cut her off again. "I never feel uncomfortable around you---"

"I know that you don't know how to express your feelings, if you...if you want

to be friends then---"

"Videl I don't think that I could handle just being friends with you. I want you to know--"

"Before this goes any further Son Gohan---"

"I LOVE YOU!" They nearly shout as one.

'He loves me?' As silly as it sounded, inside her heart was doing a happy dance.

'She loves me'? Son Gohan wondered to himself, he felt as though a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

"You love me?" They repeated in unison once again pointing to themselves.

Gohan immediately reached over and hauled the tiny girl off of her bed. He could never remember being so happy in his entire life. The women that had spent endless nights dreaming about loved him, he could feel it, he could see the love burning in her large lavender eyes as they sent tiny shock waves through him. He crushed his lips to hers in a bruising kiss, ravaging her mouth with his own. He nibbled lightly on her soft swollen lips, loving the taste. Her taste reminded him of cherries, no, better than cherries...her taste was something that couldn't be put into words.

Videl surprised herself by letting out a low moan of pleasure and allowing her tongue to run itself over her lover's lips, pleading for entrance.

Son Gohan willingly complied, his soft yet calloused hands running up her shirt, doing magical things to her body, deliciously wonderful things.

She ran her small soft hands through his short spiky hair, loving the feel and texture. No wonder he was always touching it, she thought silently to herself as she giggled into the kiss, eliciting another much louder growl from her boyfriend.

Videl's mind was going a mile a minute, this was what she wanted. This was what she day dreamed about. She loved it when he touched her, the way he sometimes growled, although unknowingly into their kisses. When he smiled he looked like a god, an angel, like he was too good to be true. Just one look from that man left her knees shaking and her body quivering.

She let out a squeal of surprise when Gohan placed both his hands on her bottom, never breaking the kiss. He then proceeded to lift her up and place her gently on the desk, and then he used one arm to push all of his study books of the desk and on to the floor.

As much as he wanted to keep this up it wasn't satisfying his hunger for her anymore. He wanted, no...he needed more.... but things were getting too heavy, too out of control. He repositioned Videl so that her legs were now straddling his waist. Gohan heard Videl whimper as he pulled his lips away, but was soon shushed when his lips found their way to her ear.

Nothing had ever made Videl feel so good in her entire life. She would have to ask him later where he learned how to kiss that way. Maybe it came naturally to a sayijin, and if kissing came naturally then what about...she lost her train of thought when she felt his hot breath tickling her ear.

"...Videl...baby...he breathed huskily into her ear, you've made me so happy. So very happy." He repeated again as he took the lobe into his mouth, slowly running his tongue along it, all the while Videl holding his head in place, breathing hard.

Unfortunately, the moment was not to last, for at that very moment, a loud knock came from the other side of the door to her room. They broke away from each other almost instantly, blushing bright red. He had lost control, he had let his other side take over. Gohan had nearly given to the carnal urge that had begun to take control of his mind, he would have to be more careful he concluded as he dropped to his knees to pick up his abused books.

The knocked sounded again, Videl had nearly forgot about whoever was out there.

"Miss Satan, came the loud voice of one of the maids, is everything alright in there, we heard a crash. Are you and the young Mr. Son alright?"

Videl let out the breath that she had been holding, though why she had been holding it, she did not know. "Yes, came her strong reply, everything's fine. I was looking for a book on the top shelf of my book case and I caused most of them to fall, but I'm alright, thanks to Gohan here." She winked his direction as he continued to grin goofily.

"Alright, well as long as you're okay...Oh my, before I forget, ah Mrs. Son called a few minutes ago, she needs you to come home at once, she's going out I believe. She also wanted to know what time you would be ready Miss Satan. She said that they would send a limo to pick you up around 8:00 tonight."

8:00 tonight!? That only left her an hour and a half to get ready she thought mentally as she looked at the clock, and she didn't know if Gohan was okay with it or not.

'Miss Satan, came the maids voice again, do you still wish to go? Should I call Mrs. Son back and tell her that you have declined her offer?"

Videl glanced at Gohan who nodded in silent approval. 'Great!'

"No, no don't call her, I'll be ready...just let me know when the limo arrives alright Maddie?"

"Of course! Call me if you need any help, g'nite!"

"G'nite Maddie!"

"Well, now that that's settled I think that I had better go." Gohan said as he gathered his things as he headed for the door, but before he place one foot on the other side, he was yanked back by Videl, her hands pulling on the collar of his shirt.

She grabbed his head, and pulled it down. "Did you really mean what you said Gohan, about you loving me?" She asked shyly.

"Did you?" Was his short reply.

"Of course, but did you?"

He lowered his lips to hers, effectively cutting off all questions. After a moment he broke the kiss. "I meant it with it with every inch, every fragment, every part of my being." (AN: Awww...Kodak moment!)

He smiled before turning around and taking another step towards the door, only to be yanked back again by the same little hands. Tossing his books somewhat neatly out into the hallway he turned around again.

Would you please stop doing that, he said letting out a chuckle, if you keep pulling on my collar it's going to rip. (AN: (Sighs dreamily) And that's a problem because??? Who wouldn't want to "accidentally" rip that man's shirt off? LOL)

He placed each of his large hands on top of hers and pulled them off of his collar. "What now? I swear I meant everything I said!"

"Say it again." Videl whispered her eyes silently pleading with his own dark ones.

"Say what again Videl?"

"Tell me again, I wanna hear you say it again..."

He let loose a low, seductive growl before pressing her body against his, and watched as her eyelids fluttered closed. "I." He spoke as he kissed the tip of her nose. "Love." He kissed her still swollen and red lips. "You." He gently bit her neck with his last word, and then he was gone.

Videl opened her eyes, and surveyed the minimal damage in her room, nothing that couldn't be fixed she concluded. She checked the clock and then began running around her room grabbing things left and right then throwing them back. She couldn't afford to lose track of time like that again.

Now where in the world had she put that new black dress of hers...?
