Chapter 2

Everyday is a chance for us to come clean. If not, then we die without people knowing the truth-

Anonymous

The glorious Sun took the sky…

Starting the first day of Hell…

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Gohan's head shot from under the covers, his face contorted in furry, his shades almost falling down his nose. "That does it! Every time I break this thing it always comes back to life!"

He sprung to his feet, arms outstretched, ready to crush the damned bewitched clock if it wasn't for the small chuckle he heard from behind him. He froze stock still, a sweat drop running down his neck to his chiseled back and disappearing down his boxers. He sighed in defeat, Videl had caught him fair and square.

"Ya know, I heard that talking to appliances is the first sign of insanity. I could be wrong though," She taunted, amusement clear in her voice. Luckily for Videl, Gohan had his back to her, therefore he couldn't see the wild blush that stained her cheeks, her eyes glued to the perfect blend of muscle and tanned skin. If he turned to face her, she was sure she would've hyperventilated.

"Alright, alright. You caught me fair and square. Its just that this damned thing keeps coming back from the dead!" Gohan reasoned, turning to face an extremely red Videl. His brows furrowed in worry. "Hey Vidi, you okay?"

He got no response, but it only took him a few seconds to realize that Videl, to his utter amazement, was actually checking him out! This was epic! Videl never checked anyone out, well as far as he knew. A maddening blush spread through his face until he resembled a tomato with wild black hair.

Snapping out from her trance, Videl shot to her feet, blushing from her hair to her toes. "I'M FINE! I- I just….oh look at the time Gohan! We're a minute late." She yelled, pointing a small finger towards said alarm clock.

It was in moments like these that she was thankful Gohan was naïve.

The demi-saiyan cursed under his breath, oblivious that Videl had suddenly changed subjects, and slid to the bathroom in his socks, smiling at his best friend. "Good morning Vi-

A pillow was sent hurtling towards his face, and he barely had the time to duck out of the way with a small pout. "Hey! What was that for?"

Videl stifled a laugh, walking over to her closet, a small polished finger pointing towards the bathroom as if she was ordering a dog to sit on the corner. "Go take a shower already Gohan!"

Without needing to be told twice, he went inside and closed the door behind him, turning the shower on.

Once he was gone, Videl's entire demeanor changed from content to pissed off in a matter of seconds. Gotta love those mood swings…

She stomped her foot towards her closet, placed her hand on the doorknob until it glowed a faint blue. The sound of heavy movements echoed from inside mixed with the sound of air being pushed out, then finally stopped when a small screen appeared beside Videl, where she placed her tongue flat against it.

"Identification Confirmed: Agent Krista Jewels, Welcome."

With a sour mood, Videl yanked the door open and walked in the small room. She sighed and opened her laptop; the fatigued face of J greeted her.

"Hey J., what are my orders?" She droned, rummaging through the piles of gadgets to find something she might need for her latest 'mission.' Like a gun to shoot Jasper in the head with, then a shovel maybe to burry him six feet underground, plus a video recorder so that she can watch how she killed him over and over again until she got tired, or until the battery runs out. Which ever came last…

J. rubbed his face tiredly. "I need coffee, very strong coffee from Mexico. Hey Videl, remind me again what my benefits are in this job."

The raven haired woman snickered, pocketing her 0.45 automatic handgun customized just for her, lipstick knife, ailason powder disguised as makeup, a voodoo doll of Jasper complete with ten long needles….oh wait, she didn't have the last one. Darn the world…

"J., there are no benefits in this job. That's what you get for wanting to be a secret agent." Videl replied, stuffing all her stuff under her bra and strapping her gun on her thigh.

"I know, and I don't even get to be an agent. I'm stuck here with paper duties briefing the likes of you in missions I can only dream of doing." J. replied, fishing out a folder from his desk. He watched Videl for a moment, then smirked knowingly. "So, how'd your meeting with The Jasper Stripes go? Fall in love with him yet?"

She snorted. "Ha! If you think I'm attracted to big pig headed freaks with no respect for women what so ever then, sure." Videl remarked tightly.

J. ignored her and rolled his eyes. "Aw come on Videl. It's the Jasper Stripes! All male agents strive to be like him, and all female agents strive to be with him. I mean, he's what inspired me to even take this damned forsaken job in the first place."

Videl raised her brows questioningly. "J., are you sure you're straight? Sometimes I wonder. Sure, maybe he's cute but you praise him as if he's The Great Vegeta."

J.'s eyes widened. "Am not! And rumors are, Jasper was actually trained by SCAT, and personally taught by Vegeta himself."

Videl shook her head in disbelief. "No way. Why the hell would The Great Vegeta waste his time trying to mentor some guy? Don't forget, I was trained by SCAT and I didn't see him there."

"Yeah, but you didn't even last a day. Maybe he was absent that day," J teased.

"Shut up! SCAT was brutally hard you know. They expect you to do inhuman things there you idiot!"

"Well, whatever. So what does your Gohan have that the Jasper Stripes doesn't have, huh?"

Videl was about to answer when she heard the shower turned off. Shit, Gohan was done already? "J., hurry up and give me my damned orders! Gohan's done his shower!"

J's eyes widened as he scrambled with the papers in his hand, readjusting his framed glasses. "Alright, I got it. You are to rendezvous with Jasper outside a restaurant called Stallianos. Make sure you're in disguise and in civil clothes because you'll be meeting with Erasa Moneylots in her mansion for lunch."

Videl grabbed her colored contact lenses and winked back at J. "Got it."

Meanwhile…..

"She's that bad?"

Gohan nodded, sitting comfortably on his leather seat while sipping on his fruit smoothie. "Yeah, Krista is horrible. Alright, she's gorgeous, I'll give her that. But she walks with this 'I'm the Queen of the World' attitude."

"Sounds like somebody I know," L whispered under her breath.

"What was that?"

"Nothing! Just, talking to myself." L said innocently. "Now back to business. This is your job for today. You are to rendezvous with Krista outside a restaurant called Stallianos. Make sure you're in disguise and in civil clothes because you'll be meeting with Erasa Moneylots in her mansion for lunch."

Gohan nodded and got up. "Got it." I'm going to take a shower now, I feel dirty from yesterday."

L. snickered and winked at him. "Can I watch?"

"No, you can't." Gohan retorted while rolling his eyes. He lifted the remote and pointed it at the screen, where L's eyes widened.

"NO! Gohan don't shut me off-

"Bye L, see ya tomorrow."

Slamming on the brakes, the car screeched and skidded to a stop just inches before crashing on the car parked in front of them. Videl smirked and glanced at the petrified man by her side, almost feeling sorry for him. Not.

She reached over to Gohan and gave him a small peck on the cheeks. "Have fun today Professor Son."

Gohan shook his head before stepping out, waving goodbye as the car disappeared down the road in a wild roar of tires and engine. He sighed. "Time to get to work."

-

Videl cursed loudly, stomping on her heels and glaring at every cock headed man who oogled on her. Well, she can't really blame them. She was not vain, but she knew she had looks. Beauty came naturally for her, and she didn't have to dress like a whore to prove it. But she was undercover, meaning she had to be in a disguise. Her once long dark raven hair was now in curls and dyed with temporary red and her eyes covered by green contacts.

She wore a tight fitting red shirt under a light beige Enyce jacket. Jean shorts hugged her thighs perfectly, falling to just 3 inches above the knee, and knee high leather boots completed the outfit. Her clothes left little to the imagination, and she despised it.

Yet even with that disguise, something Videl Satan would never be caught wearing in public, but Krista Jewels could care less, did nothing to mar her beauty. And apparently, the men agree.

'If one more dick head cat calls over me I swear I'll smash his face.' Videl thought with a frown as she rounded a corner to Stallianos. Then her breathing hitched, and she froze. She would've made a very flattering clothes store dummy.

There he was, leaning casually by the restaurant doors, simply looking drop dead gorg- okay. Her sworn enemy. He wore Capsule Corp. camo pants, a plain comfortable white dress shirt and cream Timberlands, his silver shades already in place.

Videl stared.

'Wow, he looks good enough to swallow, like Belgium chocolate….hmmm….-ah! AHH! Bad thoughts girly, bad thoughts! You will NOT go all googoogaagaa over him! You sick, twisted, retarded girl!'

With a stiff back, and her face flushed, her cheeks held high…er…sort off, she staggered over to Jasper with semi-confidence.

A blue jeep parked by and a beautiful woman stepped out, smiling flirtatiously at Gohan she entered the restaurant, licking her lips seductively with hidden intent.

Gohan just smirked; his head seemed to follow every movement of her hips. Videl rolled her eyes and walked over to him, her feet seemed to stomp a bit harder than necessary.

"Nice of you to show up, Krista." Jasper greeted, his attention towards the white corvette that just parked in front of them. "Hrmm..,red hair and green eyes? You look fantastic."

Videl silently seethed at him. "I wish I could say the same for you." From the corner of her eyes, she saw Jasper stare at the man who owned the white corvette. She smirked; her eyebrows arched high. "My, my. Isn't this interesting? At first I thought you were just like every other testosterone checking some lady out but now I see you have interest in men too."

Gohan didn't answer her. Instead, he lifted himself from the wall he was leaning on once the man with the corvette passed by him, and with inhuman speed slipped his hand in the man's pocket, pulling out his car keys. With a smirk, he opened the corvette and got in the driver's seat. Videl just stared at him.

He lowered the window and regarded her coolly. "Well, are you going to hop in or what?"

She walked over to him and leaned to his ear through the window. "In this country that is called stealing," she whispered.

Gohan shook his head and looked down at her heels. "If you'd rather walk then that's fine with me. Tell me, is it comfortable walking in those?"

Videl's face flushed, her brows twitching. 'Shit. He can tell I'm not used to walking on heels. Damn him.'

"Yes, yes it is comfortable. But since we'll get there faster, I'll just hop in." Videl tried to say as dignified as she could, walking stiffly over to the passenger's seat and buckling in.

"Try not to drive like a sissy. I want to get there as fast as-

Videl didn't get to finish her sentence as Gohan changed gears and slammed on the gas, blasting and swerving through traffic.

Five minutes later…..

The car pulled over the driveway of a gigantic mansion the size of five football fields, towering over like a castle.

"That quick enough for you?" Gohan taunted, unbuckling his seat belt. To his surprise, Videl didn't seem too winded out. In fact, she seemed as if she could've gone faster.

"Whatever, I could've made it here in three minutes flat."

Gohan rolled his eyes. "Well if you're so sure, why don't you drive next time?"

Videl stepped out of the car, adjusting her shirt and flipping her hair. "I'd be glad too. You drive like a girl anyway."

They climbed the stoney steps and rang the door bell of the gigantic wooden doors until an old butler opened the door for them. He led them in to the grand dinning room, asking them to take a seat while they wait for Ms. Erasa.

Videl's eyes silently wandered around as she observed her surroundings. It was always essential to know and familiarize yourself with your environment especially when you're an agent. That was one of the basic rules you could say.

The dinning room itself looked like a small house except it was just one room, in the center was a long twelve seater dark wooded table, expensive plates and cutleries placed on its smooth surface. The walls were shiny marble decorated with one of a kind paintings and the floor was furnished wood covered by a velvet carpet, matching the colors of the drapes that hung by the tall arch windows. A big chandelier hung down from the ceiling, illuminating the room with a warm yellow glow. To put in laments term, the dinning room was majestic.

Jasper pulled a chair out, the sound of the chair's legs scratching against the wooden floor echoed in the empty room. He sat down and popped his feet on the table, as if it was his own house.

Videl gahed in disgust, following his example, except the foot on the table thingy of course. Just then, the butler came in with a pitcher of lemonade and handed them each a cool glass. "Ms. Erasa will be with you momentarily." He eyed Gohan before clearing his throat dejectedly. Normally he would've already snapped at any one who dared put their feet on the table, but decided against it. He didn't look like someone you'd want to trifle with. "Is there anything else I can do for the both of you?"

Gohan and Videl shook their heads silently, the butler bowed and exited.

"What's in your bra?"

Videl's eyes widened slightly in shock. "W-what?"

Gohan nodded towards her breast. "What's in there?"

Stunned at his openness, Videl looked down and found, to her embarrassment, that her boobs looked slightly…….irregular and lumpy. She flushed. Not knowing whether to be embarrassed or to be offended that he was looking there, she decided to play the truth card instead.

"Lipstick."

A brow rose curiously. "Lipstick?"

Although she couldn't tell for sure, Videl felt his eyes stare at her lips momentarily. Once again she blushed. 'What the hell is up with this guy?'

"Funny," he finally said after a long moment of silence.

Videl turned to him confused. "What's funny?"

"You don't seem like the type." Gohan answered, sipping on his iced tea then leaned back on his chair.

Videl rolled her eyes. "How the hell would you know what 'type' I am?"

"I can tell when it comes to women." Jasper replied rather smugly.

She snorted, a sarcastic laugh left her lips. "You think so, huh? Well I can tell you right now I-

She saw it. It was brief, but it was definitely there, moving.

Her trained eyes wondered sharply.

It flashed again. A blur of black. The sound of heavy breathing, of hearts pounding, of…

Footsteps.

Videl sharpened her eyes and ears, the hair at the nape of her neck stood on end.

She could hear six footsteps. Three. There were three of them. But where were they?

Videl turned to Jasper worriedly. "Jasper, I-

She was cut off however when he cleared his throat loudly, cracking his neck from side to side.

"I'm sorry hunny but I won't be able to make it to dinner tonight," he replied casually, with a small smile. "I have three appointments booked already."

Videl eyed him for a moment, then nodded discreetly once she understood. "Aw, I was hoping we could spend some time together. What time are your appointments?"

He drummed his finger on the table.

Behind them.

Gohan smiled. "One is on 6:00." His eyes closed briefly, his ears picked up the sounds of labored breathing to their left. "The next is 9:00. The last one is….."

Videl stared at him patiently, slipping her hand under her shorts, clasping her gun tightly around her fingers.

Click.

There it was, faint, but definite. In front of them, a bit to the right.

His eyes shot open, his lips forming the words two o'clock towards Videl. Gohan shook his head slowly when she began to draw her gun, then laid one hand over the fork by his empty plate. Not yet, he mouthed.

Click.

That sound. A gun was loading. That was the second click, which meant the second assassin was ready and loaded. One more left….

Videl could feel the familiar rush in her blood and the excitement of her fingers against the trigger of her gun. She couldn't help it. She loved the feeling. It was like sweet chocolate, oh so sweet.

Click.

The last assassin was ready and loaded…..and so were Gohan and Videl.

She shot Jasper a quick look, he nodded in reply…….and the firing began.

It all happened in seconds as Videl and Gohan jumped apart, bullets spraying at their chairs where just a millisecond ago they were seated at.

The first assassin behind them barely had enough time to express his shock as Videl drew her gun and rolled to her knees, firing, the bullet piercing through his neck, his body falling from the ceiling with a heavy thud.

Gohan had back flipped from the floor to the long table, the barrage of bullets following him as he went, breaking expensive plates and glasses in the process. Nearing the edge of the table, he twisted at his last back flip in mid air and shot the fork from his hand with deadly accuracy, impaling the second assassin's forehead clean, his body fell to the floor the same time Gohan landed on his feet.

Two down, one to go…

The sound of a ring falling to the floor reached Videl's ears. Her eyes widened as she whirled to its source. The last assassin dressed in all black threw the grenade in his hand towards Videl before picking up his gun and dashing for the door to escape.

With barely half a second to react, Videl jumped to the air and kicked the grenade towards the door, rolling on the floor once she landed and drew her gun immediately, aiming for the assassin who jumped out of the way just as his grenade was sent back to him and exploded on impact.

Giving the rookie no time to recover, Videl locked for his head with a smirk and licked her lips in anticipation. All too easy…

"Bye bye."

BANG!

Her bullet soared at breakneck speed, merely inches from piercing its target's forehead when a dagger intercepted its path, sending the silver bullet bouncing off its sharp blade and harmlessly impaling the wall.

Videl's eyes went wide and she got to her feet. "Jasper! What are you doing?"

The assassin, still relieved that the bullet hadn't ended his life, froze in his spot, his eyes widening painfully. 'JASPER! AS IN JASPER STRIPES?' His mind screamed in panic, the blood on his face draining away, his body felt numb. He was going against the Jasper! This is suicide!

Gohan glared at her through his shades and advanced to the stupefied assassin on the floor. "I'm doing my job, agent Krista."

Now it was official, he was dead. WHO THE HELL SENT HIM TO THIS MISSION ANYWAY! Going against Jasper was bad enough, and now he has to get through Krista Jewels too! 'Someone shoot me now….' The last assassin thought as he got to his feet, desperately heading to jump out the window when Gohan's arm snaked around his neck and felt two fingers pressed firmly on his pressure point, knocking him out instantly.

Gohan picked up the unconscious body effortlessly and flung him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, retrieving his fallen dagger from the floor. "What the hell were you trying to do? Kill him?" He snarled at Videl, wiping away the scuff marks on his dagger with his shirt.

Videl stored her gun away and sneered at him in reply. "I was doing my job! Eliminating all threats! What were you doing? Saving threats?"

Gohan dropped the limp body hard on the floor, before walking straight up to Videl and looking down at her face. "I was trying to save our only source of information from death," he growled darkly. "We have to find out who is sending them here. Or maybe you forgot, information about the enemy is the most valuable weapon against them, agent Jewels."

Videl just glared up at him, her chin held high. She stepped closer to Gohan, not knowing she stomped over said assassin on the floor, and poked her fingers at his hard chest. "I knew what I was doing, okay! They're not the last to be sent here, we still have a lot of sources."

Without missing a beat, Gohan slipped his hand under her shorts, Videl gasped in surprise at the feel of his warm fingers sending shivers up her spine, then he drew out her gun and without breaking away from their glaring contest, pointed to his right, and fired.

The sound of a man yelping then a body falling down was heard.

Sneaky bastard.

Gohan flipped the gun with his fingers and handed it back to Videl with a smirk. "You might want to put a safety lock on that. You never know when you might accidentally pull the trigger."

They stayed that way for a while, their faces only inches apart, glaring at each other, their pride keeping them from turning away. It was a silent challenge, a silent battle of strength, honor, pride, stubbornness and hard headedness, qualities both Jasper and Krista not only posses but excel at.

They would've just stood there, silently glaring at each other, looking like very flattering statues if it wasn't for the sound of glass shattering on the floor.

Gohan and Videl simultaneously turned to its source, their eyes widened slightly.

Erasa stood by the door way, her hands over her mouth, her eyes as wide as saucers.

They were both so busy staring at each other that they hadn't felt Erasa's presence.

'Shit. That was a sloppy mistake. I shouldn't let myself get distracted by him/her.' They both thought sourly.

Gohan rolled his eyes behind his shades. 'Now she graces us with her presence, geez.'

It was only then did they realize the damage they caused to the dinning room….er….once was the dinning room. The numerous paintings by the walls had bullet holes in them like the dark side of the moon; blood stained the carpets, walls, and furniture if it wasn't broken, the long table was simply a mess. It wasn't possible to make a bigger disaster without involving thermo-nuclear weapons.

Boy, were they in deep doo doo.

Neither wanting to be blamed, Videl and Gohan glanced at each other nervously before pointing accusing fingers at the unconscious assassin laying seemingly forgotten on the floor.

"He did it!"

Erasa fainted.

-

Gohan opened the trunk and stuffed the unconscious body inside before slamming it shut and locking it with the keys. "Now he can't get out."

Videl cleared her throat, leaning by the door of the driver's seat. Gohan raised his brow before throwing the car keys to her, sourly getting in the passenger's seat.

Videl turned on the ignition and adjusted the mirror, Gohan eyeing her carefully.

"Strap on tight junior, and let me show you how real drivers drive." She smirked, shifted to drive and slammed on the gas…

Three minutes later they were back at Stallianos, Videl jerked on the hand brake so that the car screeched to park perfectly in between two other cars.

'Show off,' Gohan thought grumpily.

"I told you I can get here in three minutes flat," she said cockily with a smirk.

Gohan rolled his eyes and grunted. "You drive just like someone I know. At least we made it here alive. If those rookie assassins don't get us killed your driving surely will."

"Am I supposed to care?"

He snorted. 'Wow, talk about friendly environment.' Gohan re-adjusted his shades and straightened his white shirt. Surprisingly, not a speck of blood got to him even after what happened in the dinning room.

He turned to look at her for a moment and Videl once again squirmed silently under the scrutiny. The fact that she couldn't actually see where his eyes were exactly staring at only made things worse.

Bravely, she reached out to remove his shades when his hand shot out and caught her wrist in a firm grim. Gohan shook his head warningly. "Not on the first date."

Videl yanked her arm free from him bitterly. "Date? Hah! You wish!" She eyed him wearily before leaning back on her seat. "You know, you're just like this guy I know. He too wears shades all the time. But at least he has a reason. His eyes are very VERY sensitive to light, he could go blind from the light of a burning candle. You on the other hand are just trying too hard to be mysterious. Typical."

Gohan's eyes widened slightly for a second at what she said. That's exactly the excuse he used to Videl when she asked him why he wore shades all the time. Can it be…….nah……can't be. But she does drive like her……no way, Videl wouldn't keep secrets from him. Krista can't be Videl.

Shaking the crazy thought away, Jasper scratched his head innocently. "So, since you drove here, I get to keep the car."

Videl stared at him like he was crazy. "No way! I get to keep the car!"

"No fair! I was the one who borrowed it!" Gohan growled at her, shaking his head angrily.

"So? You're not giving it back anyway. I get to keep it!"

There was a silent pause that followed, before Gohan sighed in defeat and swiftly exited the car, his hands in his pockets before walking away.

Stunned by her quick victory, Videl blinked in surprise. 'That was way too easy.' But she was too tired to think about it now. And besides, she had to go home to Gohan. He'd be worried sick about her.

Turning the ignition on, she was about to pull out of the restaurant when she remembered something, her eyes widened.

The unconscious killer was still in her trunk.

She growled and banged her head on the wheel, the car in turn honked in protest. 'Stupid! Stupid stupid! I can't go around in a stolen car with a man in my trunk! Damned him! Damn you Jasper!"

Stepping out, she locked the car and called a cab for home. She'd leave the car here for the night. It's not like she could bring a new car home to Gohan anyway.

-

"Gohan, I'm home!" Videl called, walking up the stairs tiredly and entering their bedroom.

Gohan looked up from the book he was reading by the bed (suspiciously, the book was upside down), his ankles crossed, a smile on his face. "Hey Vidi! How was work?"

Videl just shook her head, getting out of her police outfit before crawling under the covers and resting her head on Gohan's shoulders. "Tiring. Chief's got me working on so many cases. You? How was school?"

Gohan closed his book and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, Videl snuggling into his strong chest, greedily sucking in his warmth and smell. She already felt relaxed.

"Can't complain. There's this student of mine though that reminds me a lot of you."

Videl's heavy and sleepy eyelids popped open. "Wha? Gohan, should I be worried?"

He chuckled at her, making Videl smile even more. Gohan had this gift of making any situation lighter and more happy. That's what she loved about him.

"No, of course no one can take the place of my best friend."

"Damn straight!" Videl snapped playfully, closing her tired eyes as a long yawn escapes her lips. 'Yeah, best friend. That's all I am to him…'

"But your similarities are striking," Gohan inquired, running his fingers across her soft hair.

"Oh yeah, how so?" Videl barely had the energy to ask, sleep dragging her forcefully by the arms.

"Well, you both drive like maniacs and are as stubborn as-

Snor.

Gohan paused and looked down at the sleeping girl in his arms.

She was out like a light.

Shaking his head, Gohan reached out with his unoccupied arm to turn off the lamp by his desk while his other arm was being used as a pillow. He chuckled lightly and kissed her softly on the cheeks, pulling the covers over their bodies. "G'night Videl. Sleep tight, I love you."

There you go! How do you guys like it? Sorry for some spelling or grammar mistakes i might have in there, i kinda rushed it so...Hehe please Review!

And there's another thing I want you guys to do for me. Which one would you like?
