A Cold Place Ch 5: Full Attention
"A, a TAIL!"
Gohan smirked at the extra attention that his tail was getting. Videl still was openmouthed after a few minutes of staring. But the time was getting close to the start of school, so he latched his tail back around his waist and started undressing to put his school clothes on. The problem was, it was in front of Videl, who was now blushing madly.
Even though Videl absolutely loved looking at his well sculpted body, she had to stop him before he did something crazy, "Um, Shadow? What are you doing? You're crazy!"
It took Gohan a few moments to figure out what she was talking about, but once he did, he only shrugged it off, "Saiyans don't really mind if anyone sees them nude. It takes much more passion to interest us."
"Oh." was all Videl could say as she watched him. Then when she watched start to redress, she noticed that he did not take off the band around his arm. She didn't want to disturb the show she was getting, so she decided to ask him about it later. It did look important, though.
Once he was done, she looked him over. He was wearing pants that were black, but the stitch was yellow. There were straps going from one leg to the other across the front. They had chains at the bottoms and were quite baggy( They are from If you want to see them, then enter "Tripp" in the search bar. You should be able to find them. There's only two black with yellow pairs, and this one does NOT have three yellow horizontal stripes in the middle.) He wore a black shirt with a white faded skull on it (Think of the punisher). His shoes were black boots with red flames on them. His jacket was a long, black trench coat. It buttoned at the top and stopped at his waist, causing it to part and flow behind him. It also seemed too big for him since it dragged on the ground, but it only made him look better( Think Neo of the Matrix reloaded). His hair took him a little bit to get into its hair tie, but he did get it finally in place after cursing, also in the process teaching Videl a few new words. She stared at him and realized just how sexy he looked like that. But watching him dressed for school, she realized that she had no clothes for herself today. Shit!
"Shadow," She said as he was getting ready for the seven mile walk to school, "I have to get ready, too! I have to go home and change!"
"So? Let's go to your house then."
Videl looked at him with desperation clear on her face, "But it takes ten minutes running up the driveway. Then, my dad is sure to get on my ass for not coming home last night. Then I need an hour to get ready. After that, go back down the driveway, and seven miles running to the school. We'd never make it!"
Gohan chuckled, "Sure we will. My energy does a lot more than just make better attacks. I can fly faster than any machine out there, come on." He grabbed one of her hands and led her outside, then wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, making her blush, "Hold on tight." She didn't have time to make her response as she felt her feet leave the ground. In a matter of seconds they landed on her front porch. But he didn't release her right away. He breathed in her scent, and after a minute, reluctantly unwrapped his arms from her. But Videl didn't get a chance to enjoy his arms around her at all, since she was deep in thought as to how far energy would improve her skill. That just made her want to learn even more. Her thought were interrupted when Shadow asked if they were going in. She nodded and led him inside and into her room.
Shadow looked at Videl's room. It wasn't anything that he expected. The walls were white with navy trim. The curtains were navy silk. The closet was a walk in and the bathroom was like a small house. It had a Jacuzzi and jet tub. Her bed had black silk sheets with no blankets. The computer that she had was in a cabinet. His focus returned to Videl when she spoke.
"Hey Shadow," She said while walking to the bathroom, "While I'm in here, can you pick me out something to wear please? I'm trusting you to pick something good."
A smile crept on Shadow's face as the bathroom door closed. He slowly made his way to the closet and looked at his choices. He frowned, "Too much white." But his eyes came across a black shirt with a red Anarchy symbol in the middle. It was tight and would come up about and inch above her belly button. He threw it on her bed. The bottoms he found for her was a black skirt with red stitch that came up about two and a half inches above her knees. He threw that also on the bed. After that, he nervously made his way to her drawers which held her bras and panties. He looked through them( non-pervertedly) and picked a pink and black G-String. For the bra, curiosity got the best of him. He looked at the label. '36C huh? Not bad.' he thought to himself.( Size is inspired by my girlfriend's perfect, cute, and soft breasts. Uh, ummm, damn! Back to the story, I got to go take a COLD shower!) Once he found out her size, he looked for a good bra, which turned out to be a red see through. He gathered all of her clothes and headed to the bathroom where Videl was just getting out of the shower.
Videl got out of the shower and was now looking for a towel to cover herself in. She bent over and started searching the lower cabinets for one. Then she heard a sound behind her. Instead of getting up, she looked through the part in her legs and immediately blushed scarlet red. Shadow was sitting there on the closed toilet seat, patiently waiting for her to find her towel. She also noticed that would steal a glance every few seconds at her butt. Videl immediately shot up and covered her breasts with one hand and her womanhood with the other. 'Why did he come in here like that?' she asked herself, then it hit her, ' Well, duh! Saiyans don't find nudity all that personal!' But that thought did not help the blush that was still on her face, though it did make her loosen up and remove her hands from covering herself.
"S-shadow, could you please hand me the clothes you picked?" Videl asked, using up all her courage to casually stand there nude in front of the guy she had a crush on. The very person who she had dedicated all of her kindness to. Anyone else who would walk in on her in the bathroom would surely the shit beat out of them. Needless to say, this guy was growing on her greatly. He handed her the clothes he picked out and she nodded in satisfaction and started to dress slowly, not noticing the uneasiness in Shadow.
Gohan looked at her body as he walked in. Her ass was facing him and he was quite tempted to take her right there. He told her that saiyans weren't ashamed of dressing in front of each other, but when watching an attractive female was undressed in front of a teen saiyan, it was hard not to be attracted. Then he was quite surprised at how casual she was in front of him, seeing how humans were very shy in dressing matters. But still he watched her while restraining the urges he was having.
Once Videl was done dressing, she looked over herself in the mirror. She had to admit that he did have good fashion sense, though not many people would call this fashion. This type of clothing was considered dark fashion. And according to Erasa, who was the Queen of gossip, Shadow was supposed to be the King of all fashion. She smiled at her reflection, "Thanks Shadow. It looks great!"
Gohan smiled, "You do look great. I mean, it, it looks great and uh, yea…" Gohan turned around blushing, while Videl had the biggest smile on her face. She went over to Shadow, who was sitting on her bed, and tugged on his hair. Gohan faced her with a questioning look, but Videl answered him,
"You need a hair cut, I mean, it's just so long," What she didn't know was that she was pressing her breasts in Gohan's face as she looked over his head to see his spiky waterfall of hair, which was making him lose his control rapidly, "So later today, can I cut…" She was cut off by Gohan as he stood and looked in her eyes. Slowly, their faces came closer and closer until their lips were an inch away. Both of their eyes closed as they leaned in for the kiss. But before they touched, Gohan reached in and whispered into her ear, "I don't know how it happened so fast, but I love you."
Videl nodded, "Same here, I love you, too."
Gohan smiled, "Will you go out with me, Videl?"
Videl smiled, "Yes! I would love that." She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him fully on the lips. Gohan was shocked for a second, but then he finally started kissing back once he realized that it was for real. After a minute or two, they broke apart and smiled at each other.
Videl couldn't be happier, that is until she looked at her clock. There was five minutes until class, "Dammit! Dammit! Shit! Dammit! No matter what we're going to be late. We can't be there in five minutes! It's impossible to get to school in five minutes!"
"No it's not, I'll have us there in seconds," Said Gohan, "Instant Transmission." He grabbed Videl and placed two finger to his head. All of a sudden they were in front of the school. Videl looked at him, but just decided to let it go. There was always time to learn it in her training.

1st period
---
Videl and Gohan were sitting side by side in the classroom, gaining stares by their classmates in the process. There were two empty seats beside them that were supposed to contain Erasa and Sharpner, but they went to the carnival that Videl and Gohan went to the day before. The only interesting thing that happened to them during this day of school was that they found out that their schedules were the same. That was until lunch.

Lunch period/ School roof
---
"Look, I've shown you how to control your Ki," Gohan stated, "Just use that energy to push you up. I'm going to take a nap, wake me up when you're mastered flight."
Videl nodded while still concentrating on her ki. It took her thirty minutes to learn about controlling ki, but flight was still hard. Lunch was two hours long, and Gohan spent twenty minutes eating, so they still had an hour and a half left.
The dirt on the school roof began to blow away as Videl's energy was pushed towards her feet. The ground seemed to fall as Videl rose a few inches in the air, but quickly fell back down due to exhaustion. Once she caught her breath, she sighed in satisfaction. Looking back at the asleep Shadow, an idea formed in her mind. She remembered that she never got around to asking him about his armband that had three buttons on it. Videl slowly crept over to his sleeping form and examined the armband. Since his arms were on the ground, Videl had to lay down to look at it. There was a low hum coming from it, which kind of reminded her of a generator or a computer's fan. There were three buttons in a vertical row, and she pressed the first one…
…Nothing…

Son Residence
---
Goku was at the table eating lunch with Goten and Chichi when Goten looked up at his dad, "Father, what is that power level that I'm sensing? It's really powerful."
Goku, who was stuffing his face with six rice balls at once, paused to looked for the energy his son was mentioning. Then from almost out of no where a ki signature that he hasn't felt for the last six years (since I brought Gohan's age to 17 instead of 18 like in the series). All of the food that was in Goku's mouth fell out suddenly. In an instant, Goku disappeared and in a few moment's Goku, Tien, Krillen, Yamcha. Piccolo. And 18 stood in Goku's living room. Goku cleared his throat to get everyone's attention,
"Listen up, as you know, Gohan's energy has became detectable, so we're asking that you help bring him back."
They all nodded in response, and grabbed a hold of Goku's body. Seconds before they disappeared, Krillen asked, "Why isn't Vegeta here?"
Goku scowled, "Because the prince thinks that we should give up." And with that, they disappeared.
Chichi and Goten, who were still eating, blinked for a few seconds in confusion before returning to their meal. They had no idea of Gohan's ki detection.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N: In Goten's one line to Goku in this chapter, he sounds kinda cold toward his father. This is because Goten didn't have Gohan as a nice big brother, and he blames Goku for Gohan's departure.
