A/N: I be writing this on: 6th November…I'm leaving for India soon, so this story will be abandoned till I get back around January 20th (I'm leaving on November 19th) So I hope you, my readers don't get disappointed, though I doubt you will. I released this a few days early because of two reasons: 1) I won't have time in a few days, I'm studying for exams. 2) I love all your reviews, and i really want to release it... This means you'll have to wait for a while to get another chapter though... The second reason is the stronger of the two. Remember to read the story down below. It is really good... , Oh, and since no-one took advantage of this last time... The first person to either want advertising (Knowing that Trugeta will almost definitely be the first reviewer) or a (baaad, baad) drawing of mine, will get so, but probably no-one after that.

This chapter is dedicated to:

Trugeta, SSJ3MysticGohan, Aragorn566, DBZ Fan, Juanitaaa, Zfighter1989, Baby blonde, and Paxbanana

And Trugeta has my eternal gratitude. I don't think you really need advertising from me (otherwise you would have asked for it :P)

Trugeta: Thanks a lot, I'm glad you like it, I thought I'd try something original.

SSJ3MysticGohan: I appreciate your comments, I've implemented your suggestion on thoughts (Only direct thoughts however), and may I ask what do you find disorganised? And where did you get lost?

Aragorn566: I'm glad you like it, and of course they're not separate stories… :P, though that is an interesting idea.

DBZ Fan: I'm glad you like it, and I'm glad someone appreciated their personalities.

Juanitaaa: Thanks a lot, I hope this chapter fills your expectations, and stays in par with the first.

Zfighter1989: I'm really glad you like the idea, and I'll leave where the stories going up to your mind, you'll find out soon enough… (Or perhaps not considering I'm going to India…)

Baby Blonde: Thanks a lot, this chapter is assured, but the next may not be.

PaxbananaIt's nice seeing such a good author reviewing my story positively… Thanks a lot. :D

----------

Disclaimer: I don't own DBZ… Isn't it surprising with all my absolutely great storylines… (Sarcasm, if you didn't get it) :P. This applies for all future and past chapters in any of my fanfic stories under the category of DBZ. (This is so I can be lazy later on :p)

Chapter 1: Instinct

----------

The purple ball pulsed once more, and the veins had grown larger, and it was now letting off light, orange light. The beats were even more unpredictable now, blowing up to twice its size one second, and than as big as a spec the next. Something bad was going on… The orange light shone through the void of black, it showed many balls, only different colours. The closest was a lavender ball, also with black veins, the orange light seemed to attract them together, and impact seemed inevitable. All the other balls of varying colours were still, and floating around in this void of darkness. The lavender and purple ball grew closer, and pulsed in time with the other. Something bad was definitely going on…

----------

"The weaklings have asked me to do another assignment."

"Why do you obey them Gohan? You know you can take them over any time. You could have when you were ten."

"Yes I know, but I also won't be able to hold the seat of power for long, I can defeat them, but then I will have a war on my hands… No, I'll let them think they have power over me, let my popularity grow so much, that the public will like me better then them, and then I can take over."

Videl shrugged, and then strapped on her battle armour.

"I'm free from my duties right now; I'm going with you, to cover your fine arse."

Gohan smiled.

"I wish you liked me this much when we met."

Videl laughed.

"Of course you would, then I wouldn't have almost killed you, and given you that nice scar," She stroked her fingers down the scar on Gohan's cheek. "I think it makes you look sexy."

"I'm glad you do, but you 'almost killing me' isn't quite how I remember it." Gohan grinned.

"Ahh shut up, you bastard, all that matters is that I'm your mate, and I'm going to be covering your damned backside, no matter what you say."

"I never objected." Gohan shrugged, and walked off with that mischievous smirk on his face, Videl following behind.

----------

Gohan and Videl sat at the bench throwing pieces of bread into the pond, with one arm around the other's shoulder while the other was breaking off and throwing the bread.

"You think they ever get full?" Videl looked at Gohan questioningly.

"I really have no idea; they can almost eat as much as me."

Videl laughed.

"That is a frightening thought isn't it."

"Hey!"

"You know I wasn't serious Gohan." She smiled

"And you know I wasn't either."

"Sometimes I would think you and your family are aliens considering how much you eat."

Gohan laughed.

"How the hell could we be aliens, aliens don't exist, well… as far as we know" Gohan motioned to the sky.

"Nah, you're too nice to be an alien."

Gohan kissed Videl's forehead. "You're too pretty to be human."

Videl laughed again.

"You could charm your way into any girls' life, I'm just glad you chose me."

Gohan went into a small fit; he was unable to speak for a while, while Videl looked confused. He soon recovered.

"Ahh… I think it was you who chose me, I was head over heels for you as soon as I met you, and I just can't believe you said that."

Videl's look of confusion disappeared.

"I think we're both the luckiest people in the world… If just for having each other"

Gohan smiled at this comment till Videl leaned over and whispered in his ear.

"Though I still think I'm the luckier one."

He just shook his head, and laughed.

----------

"Hey Videl…" Gohan spoke nervously.

"Hey Gohan…"

"How are you?"

"Suspicious." Gohan gulped

"Heh-heh... What are you suspicious of Videl?" He twiddled his thumbs nervously, he knew the answer.

"You…" Gohan put his hand behind his head and laughed nervously.

"Why are you suspicious of me Videl?.."

"You know why… I'll find out some day Gohan, mark my words…" Gohan gulped again, while Videl slammed her locker door and walked off.

Gohan let out a sigh of relief, even if it was only temporary, it was one more time he hadn't cracked under Videl's pressure. He ran his hand through his hair, how can the strongest man in the universes' world be beaten down by a woman who was less then an eighth of his strength. The world definitely had it in for him. 'What's next' he wondered, 'my clone coming to humiliate me?' Too bad for Gohan, that he wasn't too far from the truth.

----------

The purple and lavender balls came closer, both pulsing erratically, a chain of orange light linking them together. Closer, closer, closer, not too far now, the distance grew shorter. One metre, seventy centimetres, fifty centimetres, thirty centimetres, twenty, ten, five, three, one, and suddenly they clashed… And stayed the same, the pulsing still erratic, and the chain of orange light gone… And then the orange light encased them both, it was growing brighter, and brighter, and brighter.

----------

Gohan felt a sudden need to be by Videl, it was something that he felt often, as he was her mate... But it was different…. However he was never one to ignore instincts, and stopped and picked up Videl.

"What the hell are you doing Gohan?" Gohan shrugged and looked into her eyes.

"Instinct…"

"Goddamn saiyan's and their 'instincts'"

"If it weren't for instinct you wouldn't be my mate."

"I know… That's a reason I hate it"

Gohan grinned despite the insult, he knew that she didn't mean it.

"There are times when a saiyan even hates even their own instincts… That was such a time…"

"Bastard."

"You did start it…"

"Shut up…"

----------

Videl smiled as Gohan hugged her closer.

"Why the sudden affection?"

"I'm always affectionate…"

"Why the sudden increased affection then?"

"I don't know, just felt the urge."

"Well… I like it…"

"As do I…" Gohan smiled "I think we better go…"

"I know, but I just love you so much…"

"Right back at you, now let's go, you can stay at my house tonight…"

"Thanks Gohan…"

"No problem."

----------

'Oh no' thought Gohan… He hated his saiyan side, and its damn hormones. He felt that sudden attraction to Videl… The kind which was forbidden. "Oh no, oh no, oh no…" His saiyan side always won in these situations… He had to keep cool… 'Keep cool, come on you can do it, usually you don't fight it, that's why you normally fail…" It was no use, it wasn't reassuring him.

"Uh… Erasa, can we swap seats for today?" He regretted saying that as soon as it came out of his mouth…

"Sure Gohan… Any particular reason?" She asked slyly.

"Nope, just instinct…" He knew he was losing to his saiyan side now…

"Ok.. As long as you're sure…"

"Yeah… I'm sure…"

Videl looked surprised when she saw Gohan sitting next to her rather than Erasa.

"Why'd you chang-"

"Don't ask Videl… You don't want to know, and believe me I don't want to sit here either." He gulped when he saw Videl glare at him. "I mean, that it wasn't my choice to sit here…" The glare intensified. "Uh... what I mean is that I like sitting here next to you, but I didn't do it on purpose…" Videl's glare became less intense, and Gohan sighed in relief.

Gohan felt good sitting next to Videl, even if it meant he had to endure her anger occasionally…

----------

The two coloured balls started glowing brighter and brighter… Suddenly they exploded, a flash of orange light spread throughout the black void, before disappearing into a single point of light.

----------

A/N: I hope you like it, seeing as I probably won't be able to write for a while after this… I'm going to India, on the 19th of November… For two months… so this story might not be updated… I'll try to access the net as much as possible, and I might be able to write seven more chapters before I go… (If I'm incredibly lucky) …so I can post one every week… But we'll see… Most likely this story will be abandoned for eight weeks… I'm very sorry. Read the above author notes by the way… They may answer questions you've asked previously… And once again PLEASE REVIEW.

And a recommendation to a great story, which definitely deserves more reviews. (Not asked of me by anyone, just a personal favourite):

Intersection at Parallel by Shinlin

Category: DBZ, Gohan/Videl

Summary: GV They're always by each other's side; they're always parallel. But when the two lines intersect, 'parallel' won't be the only thing that disappears from the picture...
