Chapter 4

Over the past week or so Videl and Gohan had gotten really close. Videl was picking up her training rather quickly and could now somewhat fly with complete control thanks to Gohan's flying lessons. The demi saiyan couldn't believe the amount of progress she made in almost two weeks. It was very impressive.

The demi saiyan watched his crush as she concentrated. "Come on Vi you can do it!" he encouraged a little too loudly as he watched her begin to lift herself up in the air. 'She's progressing faster than I thought.'

She glared at the spiky haired teen, "Gohan I'm trying to concentrate here and you shouting doesn't really help anything," Videl huffed in frustration as she lifted off the ground flying.

"S-sorry!" Gohan said covering his mouth. 'Man she can be really scary when she wants to be.' He thought as he watched her struggle to keep herself up off the ground. She managed to get higher than her last time but she started feeling dizzy so rockingly she landed to the ground. Videl had been trying to gain control of her balance in the air but it seemed that she had a hard time concentrating.

The blue eyed girl gripped the grass that was in-between her fingertips and angrily tore at it, "Damn I really thought I had it that time." she said looking at the ground in frustration.

Gohan's eyes softened as he bent down next to her, "Don't worry Vi you'll get it," he said placing a hand on her shoulder. "It took me a while when I first learned."

She turned to look at him, raising a brow. Somehow she found that hard to believe given his... talents. "And how old were you?" Videl asked curiously looking up at him.

"I was 4," Gohan replied quietly, 'Man me and my big mouth.' He thought mentally slapping himself as he looked at her face. He was trying to make her feel better and encourage her progress not belittle it.

Her blue eyes widened in shock, "Seriously!?" the raven shouted in frustration, she was a little envious. "So what age did you start martial arts?" she said crossing her arms.

The demi saiyan scratched the back of his head, "Um about 5 or 6," he replied as an animated sweat droplet came down his face.

"Oh my god I started when I was 10." Videl said in shock. "Were you like a super toddler or something?"

"Hahaha something like that," he laughed smiling at her with the famous Son smile.

She smiled, "You're really incredible Gohan." Videl said.

Gohan blushed as he looked into her clear blue eyes. He immidietly got lost in them and the air that he breathed in got stuck in his throat, "T-thanks Vi." he managed to get out.

"You're welcome," She sweetly smiled. "So who trained you if you don't mind me asking?"

The spiky haired teen breathed in and then paused for a minute to think about his answer, "Well, first it was a family friend and then it was my dad." Gohan smiled sadly thinking about how much he'd missed his father. His biggest regret was that he didn't kill Cell when he had the chance ...Maybe if he had his father would be alive right now. He clutched his fists lightly.

Videl noticed this and she immediately felt bad. She walked over to him and gently grabbed his hand. She looked into his sad dark eyes and gave the demi saiyan a warm hearted smile before hugging him tightly. "I'm sorry," she apologized softly.

Gohan breathed heavily as he hugged her back. He looked down at her in his arms and smiled lightly. "It's okay Vi." He stilled missed his father but it felt nice to be embraced. Sure any other time he'd been upset his mother was always there but this was different, he hadn't experienced this type of comfort from anyone else but family. He liked it and he liked her. The blue eyed beauty's stomach rumbled causing her to pull away from him. She held her stomach and Gohan noticed a bright red paint covering her face. He laughed, "Hey are you hungry?" he asked as his stomach rumbled loudly.

She smiled. "Yeah hopefully Chichi finished lunch. Race ya?" Videl said as she pushed Gohan down on the ground to get a head start.

Even though she pushed him it wasn't anywhere near strong enough to force him to the ground so he fell purposefully letting her have a head start. "Ooomff! Hey no fare that's cheating!" Gohan shouted after her as he got up to chase after her.

"Snooze you lose Gohan!" The raven haired beauty stuck her tongue out in a childish manner.

"Well if that's the case." Gohan said as he put two fingers to his forehead and then disappeared using instant transmission.

Videl laughed as she turned to look behind her. The demi saiyan was nowhere to be found.'What the hell!?' "Gohan?" she called out as her running came to a stop. She looked around again. "Gohan, this isn't funny come on and come out oommfff!" She was suddenly brought to the ground.

"Gotcha," he smirked laying on top of her with her hands pinned above her head.

She struggled, "Come on Gohan let me go!" Videl said trying to out of his strong grip but with no success.

The spiky haired teen's smirk only widened, "Not until you say please." he teased.

Videl's eyes narrowed, "Never." she said stubbornly.

"Well then I guess I'll just stay here then" Gohan said as he got dangerously close to her face causing her to blush.

"G-gohan w-what are you doing!?" Videl said as she tried to get out of his hold.

"Say please and I'll let you go. It's no use in trying to escape." Gohan said with a smirk this time that would rival Vegeta's.

She began to feel nervous under his gaze. Her blue eyes caught his coal black ones which caused her heart to skip a beat. She felt herself begin to get lost in his eyes, "Okay okay please already. Please will you let me go?" she begged her face beat red from blushing.

"See that wasn't so hard now was it?" Gohan said smiling as he let her go.

The blue eyed girl balled her hands into fists before storming off, "Just shut up and let's eat." she said as she and the demi saiyan made their way inside the house. After they both entered the house Videl went straight to the bathroom to wash her face. When she looked in the mirror she could easily tell that she had been blushing like crazy. It seemed like only Gohan could make her blush like that. 'Damn it! What is it about him that makes me feel this way? Stupid Gohan always teasing me! And why did he get so close to my face? I thought he was going to kiss me! What am I saying?! He wouldn't kiss me. He doesn't even like me...' she thought just then she heard her ringtone coming from her phone. She reached into her pocket and took out her phone to answer it. "Hello?"

"Videl Satan, is that you!?" an angry voice yelled.

"Dad!?" the world champ's daughter exclaimed. 'Oh, no.' She thought.

"Yes it's me! You're with that boy aren't you!? Didn't I say no boys allowed?!" Hercule shouted furiously into the phone.

The blue eyed beauty held her phone away from her ear to avoid any hearing loss, "Dad I've been away training for the WMAT and so what if I'm with him? I'm fine here, you don't need to come and get me... You're not going to take me back home so don't even think about coming here after what you pulled. " she said completely annoyed.

"Oh no you don't get to flip this on me, you are not staying at his house. He's no good for you and he's a freak! He even brainwashed and kidnapped you! You saw how he beat up your poor father and almost to a bloody pulp might I add. How can you sit there and take up for that scrawny punk?!" the champ fumed through the phone.

'Brainwashed!? 'Kidnapped!?' Videl couldn't take this anymore. This was too much, "Dad he did not beat you to a bloody pulp, he hit you once and knocked you out. He did not brainwash nor did he kidnap me! I left on my own free will and he's actually the ones that's been truthful unlike you!" his daughter mentally slapped her forehead. 'Sometimes I wonder why of all people this had to be my dad.' She thought as she listened to him ramble on and on. "You don't even know him. Do you even know his name?"

He humphed, "I looked him up on the school website. His name is Gotan or something." Hercule said. "And who isn't being truthful!? I've always told you the truth! At least I don't spoon feed you lies!"

"No his name is Gohan. G-O-H-A-N." Videl spelled. "Stay away form him! And since when have you been truthful!? All you've done is lie to me my whole life and I'm sick of it!"

"Since when!? I'm your father, you'll do as I say and watch how you talk to me!" Mr. Satan shouted.

That's when she lost it, "Why the fuck should I!?" The pig tailed teen snapped. "Since you decided that it was okay to hit and beat on me for no reason. All my life you've hurt and abused me because I looked like mom and I'm sick of it!" She paused as she felt a rush of anxiety hit her causing her to take deep breaths but she forced herself to continue, "Well as far as I'm concerned you're not my father anymore, in fact why don't you go hang around those woman who claim to love and care for you so much I bet they wouldn't love you so much if they found out you were just a fraud." Videl said coldly as she hung up the phone. The teenaged girl clenched her fists as tears threatened to escape her eyes. She felt herself begin to lose control of her breathing as she collapsed to the floor. Since she had been staying at Gohan's she hadn't had any panic attacks but now was her first one. Usually she tried going out to fight crime as a way to cope her her mental but that was not an option right now. She was started to wheeze so she clutched her chest as flashbacks of things her father did started to hit her all at once.

As for Gohan he had just gotten out of the shower in the other bathroom. Once he finished drying off he dressed in a grey muscle shirt with black Nike sweatpants. He was on his way to his room when he heard crying from the other bathroom. He opened the door only to find Videl sitting on the ground crying. He quickly rushed in closing the door behind him. "Vi!? Are you okay!? Can I help you!?" he asked desperately trying to reach her but she looked like she had mentally checked out and he had no idea how to help her. Videl was crying and struggling to breathe which scared him when she didn't give him a response. He tried touching her arm but she instantly snatched it away which made her breathing quicken. He had to think of something and something fast. "Vi can you hear me? It's me Gohan," he said he managed to get her to look at him her eyes still filled with tears. He looked into her eyes and saw that she was scared of something...or someone. "Vi, look at me. Focus on my voice," he spoke calmly. "Breathe in and out slowly. Take a deep breathe and count to four then hold your breathe until you get to seven, exhale on ten, can you do that for me?"

She nodded as she followed his instruction.

The demi saiyan sighed with relief, "Okay repeat that about five times," he said as he coached her breathing. He had realized she was having a panic attack and luckily he read books on anxiety because he as well as his mother and even Goten had experienced a form of it when his father passed so he was familiar with some of the signs. Once Videl had calmed her breathing Gohan held out his hand. "Is it okay for me to touch you now?" he asked with a worried look on his face.

Videl took a deep breathe, "Yeah," she said quietly as she felt the demi saiyans hand lightly brush her arm. It felt good to have his finger tips brush her arm gently. He was so kind to her in spite of how she treated him in the past...she knew she didn't fully deserve it. "I'm sorry," she apologized.

He raised a brow, "Sorry? What on earth do you have to be sorry about? You just had a panic attack for Kami's sake," he stated. 'Why the hell is she saying sorry to me? Does she think that she made me uncomfortable?'

Her tears started to resurface, "I know I've been mean and really invasive in your life and for that I truly am sorry. I had no regard for your and your family's privacy and yet I inserted myself anyway. I really am a selfish friend. Here you are being kind enough to train me and- and-" she started crying again but Gohan sat down beside her and pulled her into his lap cradling her her.

"Hey, hey shhh it's okay really you apologized like fifty times already for that stuff to which I forgave you," he smiled at her while he held her in his arms tightly. "As much as it made me upset at first to have someone try and find out my families secrets I'm glad you did try. Honestly I hate the fact that I have to lie to everyone about the fact that I'm different and sure I have family friends to talk to but having a close friend at school who knows or at least has an idea of the kind of pain I go through is one thousand times better than keeping any secret. On top of it I've never seen my mom gush over a friend I've had over for dinner let alone let her spend the night. Also I'm pretty sure Goten sees you as his adopted sister now," he blushed chuckling as he looked into her icy blue eyes. Oh how he could get lost in them.

Videl blushed a deep red. Never once had someone say anything like this about her, she didn't know what she was feeling but all she knew was her chest felt hot and tight. "I- I don't know what to say," she said.

Gohan smiled, "Just say you'll come around more often even after the training is done. I definitely want to spend more time with you when it doesn't involve training or school," he sated boldly blushing wondering if that was too forward.

"I would love that," she blushing as she looked down she noticed that she was still in his lap and he was still holding her tightly. "Um G-Gohan? You can put me down now."

The spiky haired teen looked at his arms and blushed even deeper as he set her back down on the floor, "Um so...I know you may not wanna talk about what just happened right now but if you ever wanna talk I'm here," he smiled sweetly.

The teenaged girl's light blue eyes widened and her heart skipped a beat, "I would very much like that...Um my dad called me earlier and that's what triggered me." she stated as she told him all of what happened.

Gohan managed to maintain his composure while she told him everything that had transpired and he didn't like it. Unnoticed to Videl a small spark from him ignited as well as his hair breezing. He felt his power level rise out of anger so he took a deep breath and closed his eyes as he let her continue.

The raven haired beauty shook her head, "He's convinced that you brainwashed and kidnapped me. He said that he never once lied to me which was a lie! He's such a disappointment! Like he's always hanging around sluts or getting drunk and he's barely made any time for me since my mom died. I know it's been years since her death but that doesn't give him an excuse. I wish he would leave me alone. I'm fed up with him and his lies. I just wish he'd stop trying to control my life." she stated angrily as she looked towards the ground tears threatening to escape her eyes again.

The saiyan demi looked at her with concern in his eyes. She had told him that he was abusive to her which he wanted to kill the man for but he couldn't...'Unfortunately'..."There's more isn't there Vi?" he said putting a hand on her shoulder.

Videl took a deep breath as the words left her lips, "He-he beat me. He beat me because I look like my mom...or at least that was the excuse he would tell me. Every time he got drunk...every time he didn't have his usual sluts to keep him company he would beat me until I could barely walk. He got so angry at me for looking like her Gohan..." She paused to collect herself as more tears threatened to leave her face and the continued. "Some times when I'd go out to patrol I'd already have bruises and they were from him," Videl explained crying now as the tears rolled down her cheeks. She looked over to Gohan and buried her face in his chest crying.

He embraced her tightly trying not to show his anger, "So that's why you came into school some days with bruises already on your arms. You told us that was from fighting when really..." his voice lowered and she only nodded in response. Sniffling, she kept her face hidden in his chest. "That man is really starting to get on my nerves... I'll kill him if he ever tries to lay a hand on you ever again." He said clenching his fists.

"No Gohan you can't." Videl cried looking at him.

"Videl I can't stand to see you hurting. You're my friend and I care too much about you to let anything happen to you. All I want to do is protect you." Gohan said as he grabbed both of her hands and held them close to him.

"Gohan." She looked into his eyes protective dark eyes. She sniffled as more tears escaped her eyes and the demi saiyan brought her closer to hug her as she cried.

He rubbed the back of her head gently, "Shhhh its okay Vi, cry as much as you want okay? I'm here." Gohan he held the girl that he secretly loved.
