Only One Shot
Chapter 6: Hints of Jealousy
Videl froze as she saw Gohan's gaze on her and started backing up slowly. He hoped he didn't see her and for the first time in her life she was truly scared. Sure she had fought many criminals during her highschool years. She was never afraid to rescue someone or go undercover. She faced guns and violence ever since she could remember.
Yet here she was. Quaking, shaking, trembling, and terribly afraid of Gohan. Though she would never admit it to anyone, even herself, she wanted him. Right when she met him he was calm, cool, collected, and even confident. Everything she had worked hard to be was done naturally by him. She would never have thought that he would frighten her so badly…and make her burn with desire at the same time.

Gohan continued to look around boredly to throw off anyone who was staring at him. He had heard rumors that Cortez had hired someone to find and kill the person killing his men. Well actually he beat it out of a guard who then told him the rumors HE heard about Cortez hiring someone to kill the sniper.
He smirked inwardly. Oh the joys of being a saiya-jin. Even if he was only half. Heiji looked bored as hell. He knew for a known fact Cortez wasn't going to give them any protection and Shinichi was obviously the stupidest and densest one of the whole gang to try. Finally getting tired of this, Heiji turned and left.
"Where are you going Heiji?! We still haven't got our protection!" Heiji just scowled at Shinichi. "To hell with protection, we're all going to die someday right GS? Cortez knows this, that's why he has tons of children around. He doesn't use protection. Well, he does now with all those bodyguards around but that's beside the point." Cortez scowled at the lame joke.
"Well even if you don't want protection I do!" with that Shinichi turned around and continued his rambling about getting protection. Cortez hid his annoyed and bored look as soon as he did. Gohan took this as his escape route and left. When both of them were outside Heiji gave Gohan a knowing look before getting into his limo.
Gohan just stared at the limo until it was gone and proceeded to go to the back of the club. "Hey you're not supposed to—oh." The guard gulped as Gohan approached him. He stared at him in silence and the guard stepped carefully to the side before running off in fright. Gohan rolled his eyes and went in, closing the door carefully as to not arouse suspicion.
He pretended to not notice the lust filled stares from the strippers. They had never EVER come this close to him before and all of them were dead set on having him to themselves. He gazed around the room and flicked his eyes from side to side before walking off elsewhere towards her ki.

Videl quickly packed her things and looked out at where Gohan was supposed to be. He was gone. She looked around the club as much as she could and found that he was gone, nowhere in sight. 'Which means he's looking for me…' Videl turned to leave when Janet giggled and stopped her.
"The girls say GS is actually in the stripper area." She giggled a bit more and was starting to remind Videl of a giggling bubble headed Erasa. "I think he's looking for someone to take home tonight! I know he's under a lot of stress working for Mr. Cortez! He must've cracked!" Videl growled at that. 'Bastard! Just like my father! I can't believe I even liked him!'
"He's never done THIS before! Oh I hope he picks me!" Videl broke out of her musings and sighed with relief. 'So he doesn't do this kind of stuff…wait! Why do I care?!' she grumbled to herself and noticed Janet didn't even register she was still there. She was starting to unnerve Videl with her starry eyes.
'Wait, starry eyes?' she followed Janet's gaze and found herself face to face with none other than Gohan Son himself. Gohan smirked at them and then gave Janet an odd look when she fainted. They watched her fall to the floor and then turned to each other, not bothering to help her up. "Well if it isn't Videl."
Videl glared at him and he tossed her bag at her. "Let's go have a little chat outside Videl." Videl glared at him and refused to follow him. "Alright Videl, have it your way." He wrapped his arm around Videl's waist and walked slightly behind her, urging her to move forward. Videl wouldn't have moved an inch if his silencer wasn't on her back.
Every stripper girl looked at Videl with pure furious jealousy burning in their eyes. They all even stopped what they were doing just to stare at Gohan with lust filled eyes and then glare at her in jealousy. Videl couldn't blame them. She had taken away the thing they wanted most. In fact, she figured that if she ever came back they'd attack her.
Gohan led her out the stripper door, mainly the back iron door, and closed it securely behind them. Once he turned around Videl was just standing there, clutching her duffel bag and glaring at him. He smirked. "Follow me so we can talk in private little detective." He walked past her till he heard the plop of Videl's bag.
He turned around to see Videl pointing a gun at him. He surmised that she probably kept it with her at all times and just stood there facing her with a wide smirk. He took a step forward and stopped when he heard the click of her gun. "You can't hurt me Videl. I know you won't for a fact." Videl scowled at him.
"I'm one of the remaining saiya-jins Videl. One of the few that didn't get caught during the Saiya-jin hunts a few years back." Videl's eyes widened and her face paled. "They said they caught everyone!" Gohan smirked and his shades shined in the light. He could smell her fear. "Not everyone Videl. Not everyone. There were a…few that escaped."
"Th-That's impossible! No! I won't believe you!" Gohan stepped forward and Videl could do nothing but let her mind think about the possibilities. She was in shock and didn't know what to do. She snapped back to reality when she saw Gohan confidently pull out his silencer and hold it up, walking towards her with a smirk.
Videl froze as she felt the silencer on the middle of her forehead and held her gun steady on his head. Gohan smirked and his eyes glinted under his dark shades. "That stupid little gun won't hurt me. I already told you Videl, I'm a saiya-jin." Videl started to shake a bit and closed her eyes. Gohan cocked his gun and he pulled the trigger without any hesitation.
Videl clenched her eyes shut for the inevitable doom…but it never came. She opened her eyes and blinked. She looked at Gohan who had a serious expression on his face and seemed to be looking at something else. She turned her head to see that the gun was pointing beside her head instead of at it.
She turned all the way to see a man slide down the side of the club with a hole exactly in the middle of his forehead. A gun was in his hand and the trigger was pulled. She stared confused and saw Gohan's hand in a fist that she guessed was behind her. She blushed as he pulled her closer to him and opened his fist. In it was a bullet.

Cortez's eyes flashed a bit as he swore he heard a gunshot outside. Then again this was a rough neighborhood and the gangs in the neighborhood, despites his threats and protests, continued to have numerous gunfights near the club. Something felt…different though and he decided he wouldn't feel better until he checked into it.
"Shut up." Shinichi stopped rambling and stared at Cortez as he walked out towards the front door to go around to the back. "Wait! Mr. Cortez!" Shinichi ran after Cortez and the security rolled their eyes at him before following them. They were soon at the back of the club looking at Gohan, a "stripper" and a dead guard.
"What the hell happened?!" Gohan glanced to the side and spun his gun expertly into his pocket and covered it with his leather jacket. "He tried to shoot me, what was I supposed to do? Stand there?" Cortez's eye twitched and two of Cortez's bodyguards dragged the body away. "You didn't have to kill him."
Gohan smirked. "He was interrupting a little private time. I wanted to simply teach him a lesson he'd never forget. I guess I got a little carried away." Cortez snorted at that. 'Carried away my ass…' he thought and stared at Videl with lust apparent in his eyes. Videl noticed his look and swore Gohan growled.
"Who's this GS? I've never seen HER before. Is she new?" Gohan growled low again and Videl knew she wasn't imagining it. She couldn't believe her ears. Was he…jealous? "She's new obviously and if you don't see it already, she's taken." Cortez laughed and Gohan glared at him. "She doesn't want a boy GS, she wants a man."
Videl scowled in disgust at the perverted man and unconsciously moved closer to Gohan as Cortez neared. Gohan's face turned from anger to amusement with a smirk as Cortez glared at Gohan upon seeing Videl's action. While this was going on, Videl noticed that Gohan was holding her gun.
As she pondered how he had got the gun from her since she already knew why he got it from her, Cortez's eyes glinted dangerously. "How long have you known her GS?" Gohan snorted. "Long enough." Cortez smirked and glanced at Videl. "Kiss her yet?" Gohan kept his face neutral. "None of your business." Cortez's smirk got wider. "Make her scream yet?"
The outside suddenly felt a bit…colder. The bodyguards of Cortez were moving slowly, yet at the same time quickly away from Cortez. Shinichi, as stupid as he usually was, moved with the bodyguards. Videl felt the temperature drop at least 30 degrees and still dropping. Cortez took a step back and almost visibly gulped.
Now Cortez was a rich and powerful man who loved a good challenge whenever the situation rose. He never backed down and he always loved to make other people squirm. But this time he wasn't very happy since the situation turned out to be him. Gohan had given him the glare to end all glares. It made Vegeta's glare look like a sympathetic look.
Cortez almost hit himself in the head for his stupidity on saying that. He had forgotten all about Gohan's past and now he was going to pay for it. As he tried to think of something his cell rang and he thanked whoever was Kami. He answered it and briskly walked away. "Damn pervert…" Gohan muttered and looked at Videl.
She looked up at him with a face that clearly said "what the hell is going on?" He grumbled something and placed his jacket on her. "Don't tell anyone about this and I might decide to let you live unlike my friend earlier. Go home now before Cortez tries something." Videl was at a loss for words and drove home, swearing to find out Gohan's secrets.

Sorry if I took a long time updating, I had to go to some stupid family reunion vacation crap in Florida for a few days. The reason it was stupid was because besides my family I knew like 2 people. Now I know 3. Well anyway I promise this time to update faster and maybe if I get enough reviews that ask for it I'll through in a special chapter about how Gohan became the way he is. It'll show his family and what happened to it and him. Plus it'll explain the Saiya-jin Hunt since I'm sure you're wondering what it is. Well it's like 4 in the morning so goodnight.
