Chapter Eight

It took Gohan two minutes to get to his house. Once out of the city he had powered up and flew as fast as he could towards the 49th mountain area. The scent of cooking food hit him as he dropped onto the grass.

"Gohan!" a miniature Goku yelled, flinging himself on his brother.

"Hey Squirt, what's up?" Gohan let himself be tackled by his sibling. "Is supper cooking already? Am I that late?"

Goten shook his head, " 'kaasan just started cooking. Where were you niisan? I waited forever for you!"

"Sorry, I got held up by..." the poor saiyajin never finished his sentence as he was clouted on the head by a kitchen pan.

"Son Gohan where have you been?" Chichi demanded.

"Ow Okaasan!" he rubbed his head, "Gomennasai, I got held up by Videl. She wanted to spar with me and - "

For the second time Gohan was interrupted.

"Videl that's a girl right? Oh my little boy's all grown up and seeing girls!" Chichi shrieked squishing him into a hug.

"Mom,"Gohan's voice was muffled, " We just sparred...come on."

His Okaasan went continued oblivious to her son's denial. Gohan stealthily snuck out the door motioning his brother to follow. Once outside both Sons sighed.

"So Goten, how about we have a real spar until dinner."

Goten grinned, "You mean it Gohan? I can't wait! Trunks and I have been sparring too! You should come and fight with us!"

Gohan returned his brothers smile and set his mind on the fight.

Videl Satan flew deep in thought about the fight earlier. There was something about Gohan's style that was getting to her. Something about his confidence, the ease with which he blocked her attacks. Her sudden victory was quite unexpected. Could he be a better fighter than her. She had caught a glimpse of his abilities the day he fought General Tao and his men. After their fight he didn't even seem tired!

Videl's jet copter jolted as she narrowly missed a tree. She let it slow and took a moment to collect herself. 'That was close! That's Gohan always distracting me.' She sighed and put off her musing until she was safely on the ground.

Once her copter was back in it's capsule, she wandered up the stairs into her bedroom to do homework. Her concentration was lacking and soon she was found writing a list of "what I know about Gohan". It consisted of:

1.His father is Son Goku

2.He still trains in martial arts

3. He was taught by his father and some other guy

4. He is an incredibly talented fighter!

5. HE EATS A LOT!

6. He broke a metal bar by falling on it

7. He has some big secret that he feels guilty about (related to Goku-san?)

8. Knows Bluma Briefs

9. Knows General Tao

10. A very rare person

Well that wasn't too helpful. What did this amount too? Videl chewed on the end of her pen. His fighting style vaguely reminded her of someone, but who? She sighed. This was getting her nowhere. Putting the list aside she struggled on with her homework.

Nearly two hours later Videl came down from her room, finally finished. As she grabbed a light supper she heard the sound of a martial arts tournament coming from one of the entertainment rooms. She poked her head in.

"Daddy?"

"Oh hey Videl." Hercule tipped his beer bottle towards her. "I'm just watching some of the old W.M.A.T. videos. Care to join me Sweet-pea?"

Videl resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Her dad was always watching old videos of himself fighting. He said it helped him learn strategies but Videl was tempted to think that he just like to watch himself win. Ever since Cell his ego had blown sky high. Still, she hadn't spent any time with him recently and he was her dad. What could it hurt.

She sat down beside her dad and proceeded to watch the fight. Surprisingly she became interested. The main competitor was Son Goku, who she now knew as Gohan's otousan. As she watched Videl became aware of the similarities between the way she had seen Gohan fight and Goku's style. She narrowed her eyes, maybe this would help her figure out his secrets.

Gohan sighed contentedly and patted his stomach. "Thanks mom! That was great!"

"You welcome dear, don't forget to bring that nice young lady you met over sometime."

"What!" his expression changed to that of alarm. "You mean Videl?"

"Yes, that's the one. Now Gohan be a dear and clean the kitchen will you. I need to head over to Bulma's."

"Hai, Okaasan." Gohan groaned, 'great now when will I train? Oh well, at least she won't be lecturing me on girls now.'

Videl yawned, showing the world a chewed piece of toast. Man! She had not slept at all. The whole night had been spent trying to figure out who Gohan reminded her of. It had been fruitless, the only thing she had gained was a massive headache. But why was she so bent on discovering whatever secrets he held? Videl stopped in mid chew. Why was she so concerned with Gohan? Maybe it was the fact that he didn't hold her celebrity status as important. Or maybe it was that he was different somehow from anyone else she knew. Gohan and his father had something about them, some quite confidence, despite Gohan's shyness. She yawned once more and headed out the door. Despite her lack of sleep she was, for once, on time for school. As long as no -

BEEP BEEP

'Darn it' Videl moaned. "Hello Chief? What's up?"

"A robbery at Satan City Bank. There are at least ten men, and they seem very strong, You should be careful!"

"Don't worry about me, I'll be right there!" Videl decapsulized her jet copter and set out for the bank.

Two men could be seen outside the bank, the others presumably inside. Videl smiled, this was child's play. With ease she threw a mawashi geri followed by a ura-mawashi. Two down. She ran threw the busted door and swiftly dealt with those inside. Her feat carried her towards the final man, a small looking older fellow. A arm crossed in from of her.

"No, he is dangerous. I will fight him." a deep 'and fake' Videl thought, voice added. She looked up into blue eyes.

The Gold Fighter advanced towards the man. A golden light shot from his hand hitting a gun hidden in the mans hand. What happened next seemed a blur. The golden haired teen waited daring the other man to attack. The older man charged with a ferocity that surprised Videl. He moved so fast! The Gold Fighter didn't seem to have any troubles though. With practised grace he unarmed and defeated the man.

"You should be more careful Miss Videl, " he said and flew into the sky.

Videl stared at him for a moment in amazement. He reminded her of Gohan, or his fighting style at least. What did this mean? Gohan couldn't be the Golden Fighter could he? A smirk grew on her face as she though about it... or could he?

okay, that took me long enough to write. Sumimasen, I've been busy. I'm not sure how this one turned out.. Please tell me what you think!
