Chapter 2: Hishi ^~Hidden History~^
"Alright class, open your envolopes." Miss Kome smiled to herself at the sound of paper ripping through out the room. Sometimes she could just be so clever. Inside each envolope was a differnt history topic, whatever topic you pulled from your envolope would be the topic of a huge project. No trading was allowed. Several groans could be heard around the classroom.
Gohan blinked, looked down at his slip of paper, and blined once more. "Hey Gohan," Erasa chirped happily," what did you get?" Too shocked to speak, the teen simply held up his paper. "'The Cell Games'? Wow, lucky you. Everyone already knows what happened at the Cell games. I bet you won't even have to go to the library to reasearch." Gohan gulped. If he didn't get the fake story exactly right, then everyone would think he either lived under a rock or was stupid. But how do you write a report on something that you know is a lie?
Scowling at the thin strip of paper, Videl wished nothing more than to have a different topic. ANY different topic. Glancing down at the paper, hoping that it had changed from the last time she checked it, and sighed heavily. "'The Heaven and Earth fighting tournament'."
"Why so down Videl? That's a great topic!" Sharpner shook his head. "All I have is this stupid 'Renaissance' thing. Nothing intesting happened then, if it had I would have heard about it." The whole class practicly fell over.
"You haven't heard of it?!" The female blonde shreiked at the male," What kind of an ignoramous are you?!" The class went silent and all eyes slowly fell on Erasa. Mainly because the students didn't know the meaning of the word she used and were surprised she knew. But then again, the day was full of surprises with many left to come.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gohan sifted through the mountian of periodicals infront of him with one hand and scribbling down notes on a notepad with the other. 'Dende, this guys story keeps changing with every interview. How come no one caught him on it?' A sigh on exasperation excaped his mouth just before he set his head down on the cool wood table. Considering the huge assignment his class got, there weren't many people at the library. Sure, a few kids sat despersed across Satan City public library. Amongst those kids was Videl Satan who sat at the microfilm veiwing station. 'Man,' Gohan mused,'why didn't I think of useing the microfilms?' ((A/N: for those who don't know, a microfilm is a film bearing a photographic record on a reduced scale of printed or other graphic matter, usially newspapers and junk))
"Son... Goku?" Videl copied down important information about the past tournaments. "I wonder if he could be related to Gohan." Having gotten all the info she possibly could from that sheet, the girl slipped it out from the projector and swiftly slid in the next film. Do to careless orginazation on the libraian's part, a microfilm having nothing to do with fighting played across the screen. Blue eyes widened at the bold lettering staring her in the face. Wanting to leave before the memories got too intense, Videl scooted her chair back. The wooden legs snagged the carpet, tipping the chair and it's occupant backwards. Videl scrammbled up to her feet and dashed out of the doors.
"Videl?" Courious and concerned Gohan watched his friend run out. 'What could have made her do that?' Getting up from his seat, the teen walked over to the projector and scanned the image it played. ''Murder of house wife leaves family heartbroken.' Why would that...' Gohan's own thought trailed off as the photograph included in the stroy caught his eye. A young girl with pigtails sat on concrete steps in the background of the photo, unnoticed by everyone. In the foreground were numerous policemen and a few paramedics scrambling around.
He pocketed the microfilm ((A/N- ::gasp:: gohan stealing from the library?!? 0_0)) and hurried to the bathroom. Once inside, Gohan climbed out the window and activated his watch. The Great Saiyaman could soon be seen soaring the skies. He scanned the area untill Videl was visable. Landing softly to the ground, Gohan extended a greating in his super hero voice. "Hello Miss Videl. I was just flying around and was wondering if you needed help with anything." His reply was a shaking back in a clearing of the city park.
As Videl turned around, Saiyaman jumped slightly. The teen who was normaly eager to get on Saiyman/Gohan's case kneeled on the ground with tears brimming her eyes. Gohan noticed her scared and lonely expression and how fimiliar it looked. The peices suddenly fit together. That look from Videl was the same as the little girl's from the newspaper copy which meant that Videl was the little girl and that it was HER mom that was murdered. A sudden feeling of wanting to hold videl untill that heart renching look dissapeared overtook Saiyaman, bu the held his ground.
"Ca..can you keep a secert Saiyaman?" the raven haired girl choked out, bearly above a whisper. Well of course he could. Gohan was the king of secrets. He nodded slowly to his peer. "I... I think I killed my mother." She looked up at his shocked face with the same saddened eyes.
"You _think_ you did?"
"Well, I can't really remember everything about the day she died. I recall her on the kitchen floor in a puddle of red and a big knife next to her. Later, I was brought into the police staion where they told me my fingerprints were found on the blade. To top things off, I think dad found me covered in mom's blood." The tears finnaly rolled down Videl's cheeks and dripped onto her white T-shirt.
"What happened after that?" Saiyaman once again struggled to stand still.
"Everyone forgot about it. The investigation stopped and there may even be more evidence tht hasn't been checked." The girl sighed and wiped her left eye. "You see, the Cell games kinda worried people alot more than a little 11 year-old who may have stabbed her mother."
Having heard enough, Saiyaman took on a look of seriousness. "I'm on the case." This caused Videl to look up at him with the most adorable confused look.
"Case?"
Smiling kindly at his peer, Gohan nodded. "I'll find out who killed our mother for you. This is one crime that should not go unsolved." Videl stood up and wiped her other eye. "Besides," Gohan continued," it's not right for you to beat yourself up over something that I'm sure you didn't do." Videl was being quiet, a little too quite. She drooped her head slightly and gazed at her feet.
Videl stepped closer to Saiyaman and looped her arms around him in a hug. "Thank you." She whispered softly. Gohan's heart pounded in his chest wildly as he slowly returned the hug loosely. His cheeks burned red under the silly looking helmet of his.
'What's going on? Why does my stomach have this odd pulling feeling?' They stood there for a few minuets untill the half-saiya-jin couldn't take the new emotion inside of him anymore. He pulled away slowly and waved good-bye before blasting off into the air. Videl fell backwards from Gohan's lift off, he had flown off with just a _little_ too much energy. 'What was THAT about?!'

Sheild Angel- look at that chapter two is done.
Dashi- When this was written, she had TWO reveiws. Let's try to change that.
