The Revealing Rain

Chapter Two

>>Current Location: In front of school, ten minutes after school's let out>>

Videl was sitting on the steps outside of school, still waiting for Gohan to leave the building. The front doorway was the only way to leave the school, unless you were staying after for a club. But there wasn't any clubs today, so everyone was leaving the school.

"This is crazy," she growled as she noticed that only a few people were walking past her now. "The whole school must have came out by now and I still didn't see Gohan!" After a few more minutes passed by, Videl gave up and tossed a capsule to the ground. "I guess I'll just have to try tomorrow," she murmured to herself in frustration. "Agh, this is such a waste of my time!"

Probably inside to get help with homework or some shit like that;; Videl thought to herself while a smoke appeared in front of her with a poof, her yellow jet-copter revealed in the clearing of the smoke. She jumped inside and flew up into the air, a bit arrogated that she couldn't find Gohan.

As she flew her jet-copter above the school, she noticed a kid was on the roof. She made the jet-copter hover over the roof as she tried to figure out who the student was. A smirk crossed her face as she realized just who the person was. It was Gohan.

What's he doing on the roof?;; she thought to herself as she the jet-copter to find out. Walking out of the copter, she quickly headed over to Gohan.

"Hey kid, you're Gohan, right?" she asked; just to make sure that it really was the guy she was looking for. Videl never actually spoke to Gohan face-to-face or paid attention to him, so naturally, she wouldn't be sure if the boy was Gohan or not.

He turned and glanced over at Videl, slightly upset since he couldn't fly off to go home. "Yes, that's me," he responded while staring at her. He couldn't help but to stare since the girl looked so familiar to him. After a moment, he remembered who she was and gave a grin in triumph. "Oh yeah—you're Videl! You're in my class! What's up?"

Videl frowned slightly since Gohan didn't seem to know who she was.

Everyone knew who she was.

She shook off the annoyed feeling and gave a false smile. With confidence, she decided to just ask Gohan to go out with her, believing that it wouldn't be that hard to get him on a date. She was very skeptical of all the things people were saying about Gohan and his "innocence" as everyone calls it. "I wanted to know if you would like to go out with me?"

"Uh… I can't go on a date," Gohan said as he looked towards the sky.

Mother will me mad if I'm late again;; he thought to himself.

"What?" She asked in total shock. "Did you just turn me down?"

Gohan blinked and then gave her a sheepish smile. "I'm sorry, Videl. Besides, its okay, you don't know me and I don't know you, so it shouldn't matter that much, right? I think you could find someone better to go out with, someone that you're actually friends with," he commented before he began to leave. "I really have to go home now; I hope you have a nice day!" He gave Videl a warm smile and bowed in an apologetic way.

"Is it because you have a girlfriend?" Videl asked, but got no answer as Gohan disappeared down the hallway. She stared at the door that he had left out of and found herself wondering. "Why didn't he just say yes?" She slowly walked over to the jet-copter as mixed emotions took over her, creating a lot of questions for her to think about. "Should it matter that we don't know each other? I'm Videl Satan, isn't that enough?" She got inside the copter and flew home.

>>Satan Residents>>

"EYA!" Her leg quickly cut through the air as her foot slammed into the punching bag. "IYA!" A scream rang out through the gym as her fists tighten and she landed a quick jab to the bag. "HIYA!" She screamed in anger as she began to do combos, releasing her fury and confusion out on the bag of sand. Quickly, she spun around and elbowed the back as she jumped back and side-kicked the bag as it was coming towards her. With a snarl, she jumped into the air and swung her leg around, smashing the bag with her foot.

As she landed onto the ground, she turned away and began to walk out of the gym. "Oh, and you can tell Delora to replace the bag," she said to the other men training in the room. The moment she left out of the room, the bag began to rip in every spot that Videl had touched it, and it suddenly fell apart, which made all the men in the gym stare in awe.

In the bathroom, Videl was currently in the bathtub, taking a shower. She sighed as she leaned against the wall, letting the water hit her body. After a few minutes of staring off into space, she realized what she was thinking about and got upset. "What's so special about him anyway?" she shouted as she turned and slammed her fist into the wall. "He's just a guy, like all the other guys. So why didn't he want to go on the date with me?"

She stayed silent, deep in thought as she tried to come up with answers of her own.

Maybe he does have a girlfriend…;; she thought but remembered something. But if he had a girlfriend, then she wouldn't have allowed anyone to be selling pictures of the 'tall dark and gorgeous in disguise', or so they call it. She wouldn't let people think that he was single, and he seems more like a loner, as if he's not attached with anyone...;;

"So I guess that's not it," she sighed as she began to scrubs soap over her skin.

Maybe he's gay;; she thought and began to laugh. "Yes, maybe he's gay. No—I really shouldn't pick on the homos like that," she told herself. "It's cool if he's gay… he could have just told me though, could have said 'you're barking up the wrong tree' or something. So I guess he's not gay."

She was quiet for a while, letting the water rinse the soap off her body. "Damn it… I can't think of anymore reasons. I guess now I'll just have to find out directly from the source." She leaned over and turned off the water, then reached over for a towel to dry herself with so that she could get dressed. "Whatever, I'm Videl Satan, I'll be able to find out soon enough."

>>Gohan's House>>

"GOHAN!" Chichi shouted as she watched her son land. She ran outside, waving a cooking spoon at him while shouting. "Gohan! What happened! You're eight minutes late! Why are you so late? Huh? Well? Oh don't tell me that you found out that you have to fight something evil that will destroy the world, please don't tell me that!" From angry to worry, Chichi had the most vicious mood-swings imaginable.

Gohan smiled softly at his mother and gave her a hug of reinsurance. "Don't worry mother, it's nothing like that." She sighed in relief as she hugged her son back. "I'm so glad, Gohan, so glad to know that." There was silent, like the silence before a storm.

"THEN WHY ARE YOU SO LATE!" she screamed into Gohan's ear, making him yell out in pain.

"Mother, clam down," he said as he backed away from her, covering his ears. "It's not my fault, some girl came up to me and—"

"A girl?" Chichi asked with a dreamy look on her face. From relieved to furious to pleased, this was the mother he knew. "What's her name, Gohan? Is she lovely? How did you two meet? Is she a smart young lady?—does she have good grades? Where does she live? When will you two be getting married? Oh, I must prepare the wedding! I have to call Bulma up and get the cake ready and set out all the invitations, oh, and I have to figure out where the best play is for you two to get married."

Gohan stared at his mother, completely unknowing of what to say. "M-Married? No way, I haven't even been on a date with her yet!" As quick as lightning, Gohan covered his mouth, hoping to Dende, hoping to Kami, hoping to some great power that his mother did not hear what he just said.

"Gohan, honey," she said sweetly. "If you haven't gone on a date yet, then obviously that's what you have to do now. It's settled! I want you to bring that girl here for dinner!"

Gohan sighed as he stared down at the ground. "Where's Goten?" He asked in a desperate attempt to get himself out the mess he was in. He didn't want to go on a date with Videl, or with anyone. Maybe if they were at least friends, he would try the dating thing, but he didn't even have any friends at school, except for the one girl that he tutored. "Is Goten inside?"

Chichi nodded and suddenly remembered something. "OH NO! I WAS COOKING," she shouted as she ran back inside to save the food from burning. A few seconds after she went inside, a small boy had walked outside, smiling up at Gohan.

"Gohan! You're back home," he shouted as he ran to Gohan and gave him a hug. Gohan smiled down at his brother and smirked. "Ready to have some fun? While mom's cooking, why don't we race to the waterfall and have a small spar. How does that sound?"

Goten nodded with a smile with excitement. "All right, Gohan. Ready, set, go," he shouted as he ran off before Gohan got ready, which was okay since Gohan was much faster. Gohan waited for a few minutes before he began to run after Goten.

>>At the Waterfall>>

"Alright Goten, let's see what you got."

I know I'm not really supposed to train Goten, but, I think mom won't mind if we have spars every so often;; Gohan thought as he waited for Goten to make the first move. Gohan smirked as Goten ran up to him with a decently high speed.

"I'm gonna get ya brother!" Goten shouted as he sprinted to the right, leaving an after image in front of Gohan. Gohan's eyes glanced to the side as he waited for his brother to come up to him. "There he is," he whispered as he jumped up, letting Goten fall to the ground. "Trying to tackle me from behind, huh Goten?" Gohan chuckled as landed and stood beside his little brother.

Goten looked up at Gohan and held out his hand, releasing a roar as a yellow ball of ki formed in his hand and shot out towards Gohan. Gohan allowed it to hit his chest, just to see how much power Goten's blows were packing.

"Not bad, Goten. Now, try the technique." Gohan instructed.

Goten nodded and flew into the air. Though Goten wasn't allowed to be trained, Gohan did teach the boy how to fly, and Goten was not going to let that skill be over looked. The boy stared down at Gohan and crouched into the position. "Kaaaaa…."

Gohan smirked, sensing Goten's energy rising.

"Meeeee…"

Gohan held his hand apart and began to form multiple ki-balls in his hands, and he held them in the air, watching Goten carefully.

"Haaaaaaameeeee…"

Gohan squinted his eyes, controlling the actions of the ki-balls without moving, he kept his focus on Goten as the ki-balls shot into the air—towards Goten one-by-one. Goten didn't break his concentration as he moved from side to side, dodging the attacks as he pushed his hands out towards Gohan, "HAAAAAAAAA!"

Flying towards the attack, Gohan moved his arm in front of him, cutting through the blast as he got close to Goten. "That was good," he held his fists above the air. "But not good enough!" He slammed is fist down on Goten, who had quickly held his arms up as a shield and protected himself from getting the direct impact of the attack.

Goten hovered in the air and quickly fell to the ground, out of energy. "Gohan… you're so strong…"

Gohan stared down at Goten with a small smile.

I don't know what I was expecting… I guess Goten really isn't like me or my dad, but as a Saiyan, he should grow stronger from each battle like I had. I guess Piccolo and Vegeta were right, I am special. They said that so much when I was a kid, I just wanted to see if they were actually wrong.;; Gohan reflected.

"You did good, Goten. Now let's get home." He bent over and picked Goten up in his arms. "I'm proud of you though. You're getting really good at blocking."

He's making progress though, it's slow, but it's still progress.;; Gohan thought to himself.

Gohan smiled as he looked at Goten. "Hungry? I bet mom's done cooking."

"Yay! I wonder what we're gonna have!"

>>The Next Day, Current Location: School>>

"Videl, you are so silly! Of course you can't just ask him on a date, you have to ask him to go study or something, he's just innocent like that. Ask him to tutor you in a subject that you aren't doing so good in because he's really great at every subject." Erasa stated to Videl. "I'll talk to you later though, I gotta get home a.s.a.p. to catch my show. Besides, luck seems to be on your side because Gohan's right there behind you."

With that, Erasa ran off the leave the school. Videl turned around and saw Gohan at his locker. She sighed and thought about the classes that she wasn't too great at.

Well, I'm not that great at math… I guess he could help me with that;; Videl thought to herself as approached Gohan. "Hey Gohan!"

Gohan turned around and nearly jumped when he saw Videl. "Oh! Videl, it's you. How are you?" He forced a smile even though he was actually upset that he met up with her today. He could actually hear his mother demanding him to bring Videl over for dinner, which caused him to sigh in annoyance. Sometimes, I wish I had a normal mom;; He thought.

"I'm fine but I was wondering if you could help me with my math homework." Gohan looked down at Videl, now actually paying attention to her. "See, I want to do better in math so I thought you might tutor me." Yeah, that was so smooth;; Videl thought sarcastically, not exactly used to asking others for help. Impatient, he stared at Gohan, waiting for him to respond.

"Oh, sure, of course I can help, Videl. When should we start?"

Well, that's convenient. My mother was expecting her to come over anyway so I guess everything works out in the end.

Videl smirked. "Today would be great."
