Disclaimer: I really don't get anything out of this, other than the pleasure of being able to torture you people.
AN: Hello! I'm back. Here's the 12 chapter. Have you noticed that this one is like 3 times as long as the last one? Oh well. I'm having fun and getting better at my writing. J Smile and be happy for me.
~~~Story~~~
"So talking's not going to work?" Goten asked, looking over at his brother, who just glared.
"No talking is not going to work," Videl snikered at the ecsasperated Gohan.
"What are we going to do then?" Goten asked, looking around. All of the warriors that could fight anyway were in the room, the rest were off eating,
"Just what we agreed to do, we go after him and destroy him. It's as easy as that. The quicker the better, I don't want the women out of my sight for more than a week at the most," Vegeta growled, gritting his teeth. What he did for love. Gohan nodded and looked around.
"We agreed then, we go and defeat him within a week?" everyone nodded at Gohan's words. Trunks smirked, looking much like Vegeta, and looked at Gohan.
"So talking's complettely out of the question?" Gohan replied by throwing a ki ball of Trunks, who dodged it, and walked out of the room laughing evily. Sticking his head back into the room, "So, when are we leaving?"
"Now perferably. Everyone will need a change of clothes that it," Gohan said, smiling gently at Videl. They nodded and they all dispersed from the room.
~*~*~
"You're leaving? How long will you be gone?" Bulma asked, watching from the bed as Vegeta went through the closet. She wasn't having a happy time and she knew that her ki was through the roof by the way Vegeta kept whimpering.
"A week, if we have to be gone any longer I'll leave the weakling to the others. I'll not have my heir's gone just because of some weakling human," Vegeta said, looking up at her as he closed his bag. Seeing the look on her face, he crossed the room in three long strides and had her in his arms.
"I'm going to miss you. Please come back to us Vegeta. And bring my son home with you," Bulma whispered into his ear, holding onto him hard. He smiled gently and kissed the bite mark on her neck, sending a small trill down her back.
"Hn," was Vegeta only other reply, making Bulma both burst into laughter and into tears. Vegeta shushed her and rocked her a little as he sat on the bed, pulling her into his lap. Bulma finnaly calmed down and wrapped herself close to him.
~*~*~
"So, I'm going with you right?" Videl asked, throwing her battle clothes into the same bag with Gohan's.
"Yes, your not leaving my side. I mean it, not out of my sight," Gohan growled, grabbing Videl and throwing her onto the bed. "You're mine" Gohan hissed, crawling up her body, glaring down at her clothes.
"Gohan? Dear? What's with you?" Videl asked, looking up at him frightenedly. Gohan blinked and looked around. Shaking his head he blinked again and looked down at her.
"I…. I don't know. I've… this is the second time. I get really emotional and then I black out. Which reminds me, I'm really sorry about almost hitting you that one day. I don't know what's wrong with me," Gohan whispered, laying his head on his chest. She wrapped herself around him, holding him close, forcing him to lay entirely ontp of her.
"You…. Don't think that maybe… Some how Sharpener isn't doing this?" Videl asked, looking down at him. He lifted his head and looked into her eyes.
"What do you mean?" Gohan asked, not moving.
"These last two times, when you've blacked out, I… feel like Sharpener is in the room, or somewhere near," Videl said, looking down at him. He thought for a second before shrugging.
"Maybe."
~*~*~
"Damn! I think she's starting to figure it out. This can't be happening!" Sharpener yelled, sitting up in bed and glaring at his wall of pictures. He had found a whole bunch of pictures of Saiyaman and had taped them to the wall. Growling he got to his feet and went to the wall, grabbing the sharpie right there, he crossed out one more day. "Just as long as she doesn't figure out how to break the spell in the next 7 days, we'll be fine," Sharpener said, smileing and heading out of his room. He was so glad that he had figured out what he really was.
~*~*~
"Come on Trunks! We're going! NOW!" Gohan yelled, his voice echoing around the lookout. Piccolo gringed as well as Dende, but Piccolo was the one to walk over to Gohan and cuffed him on the back of the head.
"And what do you think you were doing, with two Nameks right here?" Piccolo asked, causeing Gohan to wince and mummble a soft sorry.
"Here!" panted, rushing out of the door to his room, pulling his shirt on over his head. Rachel appeared in the door, a dark blue satin sheet wrapped tight around her. She waved at Trunks a contented look on her face. Trunks turned and blew a kiss at him before running toward the group. Videl blinked and shook her head. Three minutes later, Trunks glared at Gohan.
"I thought you said we were going," Gohan shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes when Vegeta came struting into veiw, Bulma right behind him.
"We happen to be waiting for the resident prince, who thinks that it's funny to keep people waiting," Gohan said, finnaly turning toward the edge of the lookout. Vegeta looked at the rest of them and smirked. He was about to go after them when he heard Bulma sniffle. He turned to her, saw the tears in her eyes, threw his pride out the window and grabbed her, pulling her close.
"I love you… I'll bring your family back to you, I promise," Vegeta words got a sigh from Bulma and the tears disappeared.
"Thank you, I'll be waiting," Bulma said, letting him go and watching her life take off into the air. Taking a deep breath she turned and headed back inside.
