The Truth

Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ

Longer chapter, lots of explanation for Videl. Some old character's you all may recognize.

Yes, Haru is my character.

Enjoy.


Videl didn't have time to react. One moment she was standing there, the next she felt two large arms wrap around her and flew back, watching her friends panic. She tried to struggle, but the strength held in those arms was like a vice grip. She managed to turn her head and catch a glimpse of Gohan. She didn't even know what to say for a split second.

"Put me down! Right now!" she yelled. He ignored her until he was a good thirty feet away from the group being corralled by Goten and Trunks.

"Gohan!" she yelled again, getting even madder. He looked down at her, making full on eye contact. She stopped breathing. She felt her heart race in both excitement and fear. The air was trapped in her throat.

"I'm sorry." Gohan murmured before bringing his hand up and striking her neck, stunning her. He set her down gently on the ground.

"What did you do to her?" Erasa shouted in fear.

"Shut up! Mom! Bulma!" Gohan shouted. Chichi and Bulma ran outside, Bulma wearing latex gloves and a scalpel and gauze in her hands. Chichi pulled up Videl's shirt just a little.

"Gohan. Look away." She hissed. Gohan focused his attention on Videl's face. Erasa could see slight sadness in his eyes. Why did he stun her? What's the point? Erasa thought frantically.

"What are you doing to her?" Erasa demanded, though it was weak. Goku and Vegeta stepped out and walked towards the three startled teens.

"Calm down, everything will be explained shortly." Goku said soothingly. The three teens tried to calm down, but they were worried about their friend. Chichi pulled Videl's pants and panties down just enough to see her tail bone, where a strangely large bulge had formed. Bulma sterilized and numbed the spot where she intended to cut and then in one swift motion she cut a circle, one and a half inches in diameter. She could see the tail fur, but it was beneath a thin membrane of skin. She carefully cut it and began to gently pull the furry appendage out and cleaned it. Chichi was working on making holes in the pants and panties where the tail would be.

Just then, two jets landed. Tien, Launch, and Chiaotzu, along with two young children hopped out of one jet. Master Roshi got out of the other.

"Tien, long time no see." Goku chuckled.

"It has been hasn't it? So, what's going on here?" Tien asked.

"We'll explain shortly." Gohan said as Chichi pulled Videl's tail through the hole, after it was cleaned off. Gohan looked at Goten and Trunks.

"Ak's e'st vin'et nor'm." Gohan said to them.

"Oel'k." The two boys said, steeping out of the way.


(A/N): Ak's e'st vin'et nor'm: All is well now

Oel'k: Ok

Yes I know Ye'kl meant that too, but i figured there would be two.


"Ok, you're free to go see her." Trunks said. Erasa sprinted to her friend that was still unconscious.

"She'll regain consciousness soon." Gohan said sincerely. Erasa saw the tail.

"She's like you isn't she? But, what are you?" Erasa asked.

"When she wakes up, we'll tell you all." Vegeta said. Roshi ogled the two young women there, mostly the unconscious one.

"Psst, Gohan." Roshi said. Gohan stood and walked over to Roshi.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"Who're your friends and why didn't you tell me?" Roshi whispered. Gohan knew where this was going.

"The blonde is Erasa, and the ebony haired one is Videl. Why does it matter to you?" Gohan asked.

"You know it's a rule. I have to…examine them first before my pupils can date." Roshi said, his face turning red a little.

"Ah, but you see, I wasn't trained by you. I was trained by Piccolo and my father." Gohan retorted.

"I still have to give permission!" Roshi practically shouted as he started walking over to the two girls. Erasa was still frantic.

"Gohan, she's not waking up. Are you sure she's only stunned?" Erasa whimpered. Sharpner and Haru were also worried. Roshi walked over calmly.

"I could check her pulse." He said giddily. Tien, Launch and Chiaotzu rolled their eyes. Before Roshi could take another step Gohan was at Videl's side. He gently rolled her on her back and propped her up. He placed two fingers on her pulse point on her neck.

"She's fine. Erasa put your index finger and middle finger right where mine are." Gohan instructed. Erasa did as instructed and felt Videl's pulse. Gohan gently lowered her to the ground again.

"See, she's fine." Gohan said calmly. Videl began to stir and soon her eyes blinked open. Needless to say, she wasn't happy to see Gohan. She jumped up and threw a punch, which he caught. She threw a second punch, which Gohan also caught. He had both her small fists in his hands, but then she tried kicking him. He used his tail to block them. She was shaking from pure anger. Her tail frizzed out.

"Videl! You're ok!" Erasa said happily.

"No. I'm pissed!" Videl shouted, glaring at Gohan, practically shooting daggers at him with her intense blue eyes. She began to speak again.

"Videl, calm down. Vegeta will explain everything. Just calm down and sit." Gohan said in an unusual dominating tone. Videl was split as of what to do. She wanted to kick his ass to no end, but something, that was taking over fast, was telling her to listen to what he said. Her glare began to weaken, but she still didn't listen. He released her fists.

"Sit down. Now." Gohan said. Videl listened immediately and took a seat. Erasa, Haru, and Sharpner all stared at her in confusion. Videl herself was confused.

"Vegeta now would be a good time." Gohan said, sitting down next to Videl. Goten and Trunks bounded over and took a seat. Tien, Launch, Chiaotzu and the two small children also sat in the circle.

"Videl, you know you have a tail right?" Erasa said sitting next to Videl. Videl glanced back and saw a tail. Experimentally, she made it swish, and it swished over to Erasa. She was confused. She wanted to hit Gohan, and sure enough the tail swished over and thwacked Gohan on the arm. She snickered. She tried again, but this time, Gohan's tail was up and wrapped around hers, holding it still. She pouted at him until he let it go. Vegeta and Goku sat down.

"Ok, some of you already know what I am about to tell you. Others do not. So until I finish, don't interrupt me." Vegeta said.

"Before we begin, I want answers." Videl growled.

"Understood, but what I'm about to tell you will answer all your questions." Vegeta said. Videl crossed her arms and waited.

"Videl, you're not fully human." Vegeta said.


Cliff hanger! Hope you liked it! R&R.

Are the translations helping? And the surgery part in there, I have no clue how stuff like that is done.
