Chapter 15: Arrival
It was the day of the arrival to the Satan mansion. Gohan went to school as any other day, but he knew that it would be the last day going to school from his home until the next month. He had packed all his stuff up the night before, and had put it into capsules.
At school, he got some rude stares from the other boys who had entered the contest. Sharpener was no exception. Mocking Gohan had become his favorite hobby for that week.
The final bell rang, and the pair headed over to the Satan mansion, where they were once again ambushed by the reporters. Videl tried to ignore them and show Gohan around, but her dad came out and made her speak to the reporters.
Hercule had them talk to the reporters for the better half of and hour. They would have gone on longer, but Hercule had the bright idea that Gohan needed to be introduced to the training equipment.
He had Videl lead Gohan to the training room, where there were the new robots, punching bags, and a set of weights.
The first thing on the list of things to do was figure out the training experience of the newbie. He had to fight a robot at a power level of 30, and when he beat it, he fought another at 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, and so on. He reached 150 before he decided to hide the rest of his power. If Hercule was a level 200, then a level 150 was more than enough to freak out the old fighter.
After the robots, he had to keep a steady punch of 100 for one hundred punches, and then he had to lift several weights. However many of one thing he had to do, Videl had to do twice the amount. She had to punch at a constant strength of 100 as well, for her maximum strength was 140, and she had to do 200 punches. When the weights came, she had to lift her maximum weight, 250 pounds, 100 times, while Gohan had to lift his maximum weight, which was 300 pounds, only 50 times.
When Gohan had finished the training, he was allowed to go to dinner and eat as much as he wanted. Videl came into the dining room half an hour later, and she was fed only a sandwich and a bottle of water. Gohan had eaten at a normal pace, so he was still eating when she came in.
Videl looked longingly at the pile of food in front of Gohan as she ate her small sandwich and bottle of water.
Gohan gave her one of his hamburgers ((Like I said, he had a lot of food!)), and she ate it ravenously until one of the cooks came into the room, and then she hid it. When the cook left, she took it back out and ate the rest.
Gohan finished his meal, and when he finished, he was shown to his room by Videl. It was right across the hall so that "in case there is a major emergency, they will be able to go save the world without running across the building", quote by Hercule.
His room had dark blue walls, and on his bed to the left of the room, there was a dark blue comforter. There was a desk on the other side of the room, and on it was a schedule of training. A bookcase was set on the right side of the room. Placed on it were several copies of sporting manuals and fighting styles. A television was placed in the far right corner. Beside the TV on the table it was on was a copy of the Cell fights and a documentary of Hercule's life. In front of the TV, there was a dark blue "loveseat" to watch the TV on. There was a closet also on the right side of the room, and when he opened it up, he found it to be a huge walk-in closet.
"Gohan, I have been asked to take you out to the mall so you can get a training gi. My father has one picked out, but he wants you to try it on and stuff. We'll leave whenever you want."
"Let's go, then."
The two flew to the Satan City Mall in Videl's jet copter. The ride was a quiet one, as was the walk to the store.
But little did our heroes know that hiding in the shadows, there was a new threat.
Commercial:
Do you like Inuyasha? Have you ever thought about what Inuyasha and Kagome's daughter would be like? What if the two heroes died? What would become of the child? Well, if you have ever asked yourself these questions, or like to read stories about their kids, then my story, "Kira's Story" is the story for you. I have written 5 chapters for it already, as of 10/11/05. Please drop a review if you read it. Even if it is just a "good job". At least then I'll know if it is being read and liked and not just opened by the same person several times.

"Boss, I see the culprits. Should I attack now?" came a voice from the shadows.
"Yes, Goshinki, just make sure that you make them pay for what they did to me," came the voice from the walkie-talkie.
Back with our heroes:
Videl and Gohan had just arrived at the store. The second they walked in, the people behind the counter ran out to greet them and show them to the gi.
The gi was black with a red undershirt, and resembled Gohan's normal gi, though the colors were different and it didn't have the symbol on the back. Videl paid for it with a credit card, once they found the right size. They walked out of the store, content with the purchase.
In the shadows, there still was the one named Goshinki. He stepped out of the shadows when the two walked by. He followed them casually until they arrived at the jet copter, and then he stuck. His weapon of choice this time was a knife.
His first target was Videl. She immediately dodged and struck him back with a punch. The man drew back, and instead attacked Gohan. Big Mistake. Gohan punched him with a light punch, realizing that this man was only human, but even the light punch caused the man to fall to the ground helpless.
"Please, please don't hurt me!" screamed the man, his face bleeding and bruised, "I was asked to do this by a man who goes by Mortrat. He promised that he would have me killed if I didn't do what he said. He said to attack you, and if I didn't do so by tomorrow, I would be killed by his spies. He is hiding…"
The man didn't get to finish his sentence before a gun shot was heard, and his head was blown almost literally off.
Out of the shadows came another man, but upon further inspection, one could see that he was an android. He drew up his gun and shot at Gohan. He just barely dodged at human speed. He then ran over to the android and punched it in the head. Seconds later, it stood back up, this time without the gun. Gohan attacked several more times, but nothing worked unless he went beyond human limits. He stayed in his normal form, but he powered up just enough to be able to explain it, but not enough to let off any extra energy for Videl to see.
The battle went on like that for a while, and soon the android was destroyed. Its pieces scattered across the parking lot, and before anyone could call the police/reporters, Videl and Gohan were in the air, flying away from the scene.
They were given an earful about how reckless it was to let Gohan take on the people by himself, but they both ignored it. Videl may not know his secrets, but she did know that he was strong enough to fend for himself. She also knew that the android was stronger than she was. It still amazed her at how strong he was, but it came as no surprise.
After they got settled in the house, Gohan received a phone call from his little bother. Goten told f the day at home, and how Chi-Chi and Bulma were going to go on a cruise for a week, and they needed someone to watch them for a day, because Vegeta wanted a day off for at least one day. Goten asked if he and Trunks could have their babysitter, and he talked to Videl. She said she would try as hard as she could. The cruise was in three days. She just hoped the babysitter had enough patience to deal with the two chibis.
That night, Videl and Gohan were asked to watch the Cell games. The two sat on the loveseat couch. It had just enough room for the two to be comfortable. The show was boring to Videl, but to Gohan, it was a very sensitive time.
Videl was getting tired. Slowly throughout the movie, she scooted closer to Gohan, and eventually rested her head on his shoulder. By the time the movie ended, she was huddled against his body. She didn't want to move from the comfort. She was already half asleep.
Gohan didn't want to move the girl, so he just closed his eyes and tried to sleep as well.
The next morning, both woke up to a surprise. Sometime during the night, Videl ended up using Gohan's body as a human pillow. He had his arm around her and their faces were close to each other.
BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, came the annoying sound from the alarm clock on the other side of the room. The two woke startled. They looked right at each other, and the immediately looked away. Gohan went and unmade his bed, then remade it, and Videl went to her room and did the same thing. They changed into new clothes, and met in the dining room in five minutes.
For breakfast and morning training, they didn't even look at each other. The embarrassment from that morning was unbearable.
'Stupid, Videl' she thought to herself, 'I thought you were going to let him like you slowly, not just fall asleep on the poor guy. What if he doesn't feel the same way? What if I lost every chance I had with him?'
Gohan was having similar thoughts. 'She probably hates me now. I should have woken her up and not put her through that embarrassment. What if someone got the wrong idea about us? I may love her but…. wait, did I just think, "love". I love her, don't I? As if she loves me back. She couldn't get out of there fast enough. I hope she feels the same way.'

All of this was typed on a crappy keyboard at my school. Sorry if there are typos, but the keyboard is weird. I have to press the keys very hard or else they don't work.
