Chapter Two

Videl sigh in relief when the sound of the school's bells rang in her ears. School was over for the rest of the day and she couldn't have been any happier! Now she could focus on what happened last night and find who was behind the murder. Her smile grew larger just thinking about catching whoever that man was and putting him in jail, just the way it should be.

"See you tonight, Erasa." Videl waved to her and began to walk away. She folded her arms behind her head and squinted her eyes from the sun when she finally stepped out of the classroom. She continued her way out of the school's grounds. Finally free... She thought, her smile shining as bright as the yellow and orange sun that began to beam down on her as she walked. She stared at the sidewalk in front of her and followed the path of the sidewalk to her house, but she was unable to make it all the way to her house.

"Videl!" A deep voice called out to her. Videl recognizing the voice, ignored it and kept following the path to her house.

"Hey, Videl!" The voice called out again. Videl growled deep within her throat. I swear... She growled inside her head. Slowly she turned around just to come face to face with deep emerald eyes and dark crimson hair. A large smirk was on the pretty boy's face.

Videl scowled at him. She wasn't in the mood to talk to the guy. "What the hell do you want?" She asked with a growl trailing along. She watched David chuckle softly and watched carefully as he took a few steps closer to her, until they were close enough to feel each other's breath. He's really asking for it. Videl thought. She closed her hand into a fist, trying hard from punching the clueless idiot.

Then slowly his lips moved over to her ear. Videl could feel and hear his soft breathing, which by the way only raised her anger another notch. "Come on? Are you still mad about last night? Why don't I make it up to you?" David whispered.

Videl growled and jerked away from him. She continued to walk away from him, but the boy, who was obviously wishing for his death to come a lot sooner, stepped in front of her, blocking her path.

"Come on...give a guy another chance?" David pleaded.

"Go...away..." Videl could barely say those simple words, it wasn't that she was afraid of him, hell no, it was just that she was so furious right now, she'd felt sorry for the fool when she was done with him.

David smirked, thinking she was getting imitated by him, wrapped his arm around Videl's waist. "Come on...at least tell me what I did wrong...?" He asked.

Videl closed her eyes. Oh hell no. Your way to late for this. She thought. She reopened her eyes and if she were a demon, they'd be firey red by now. "You want to know why i'm mad?" She asked. Slowly her scowl shaped into a bored annoyed look. "Because, you idiot, you don't go and ask a girl if you can get free private lesson from her daddy on the first date. It make's you seem like you were only liking me because of my daddy." She answered, almost reading to punch him in the face.

David frowned. "That's all? That's a stupid reason to hate me! I thought it was something else. God...whatever." He shooked his head, but soon a smile appeared on his lips. "Wait...that is all, isn't it? Well then, how about I prove how much I truly need you." He murmured. He leaned his face forward, trying to close the space between there lips.

Videl eyes widen. "Your really asking for it." She growled between gritted teeth. She dodged the kiss, by stepping to the side, and folded her arms. "Okay, you see here. Since i'm such a nice person, i'm going to count to the number five and if you aren't out of here by then...well...it isn't going to be pretty." Videl told him.

"What are you-"

"One."

"Talking about?"

"Two."

"Videl...com-"

"Three."

"e on! I'm trying-"

"Four."

"To make it up to you!"

"Five." A smirk grew across Videl's face. I'll have fun with this idiot. She thought. She curled up her hand into a tight fist and stared down at her stupid victim. She held her hand up high and then it swung down to his face, but it didn't connect. For a sharp pain made it onto her head.

"Ouch! What the hell was that!" She screeched. Turning around she snapped her head from side to side. Trying to find who was responsible for the lump on her head. Finally her eyes caught hold on a certain dark haired young teen, who by the way, had his hand up in a throwing position. She glared at him full blast.

"Hey, you!" She screamed. She began to walk furiously over to the poor young teenager.

Gohan gulped and bit down on his lower lip. Maybe I shouldn't have thrown that pebble...I think it was a little to hard. He thought.

"Gohan! What the hell did you throw at my head and why!?" She asked as soon as she stepped right in front of his path. She was so mad at Gohan right now, she didn't even notice David making a run for it.

Gohan shrugged his shoulders. "Um...well...a rock...? But I can explain!!"

Videl snorted and folded her long toned arms across her chest. This should be good. She thought.

"Um...uh..." Gohan looked around, looking for anything to save him, finally, God blessed his soul, an idea popped up. "I got it! What's a concert!" He asked, snapping his fingers.

Videl tilted her head to the side. Of all the things he could come up with and he picked this? She thought, shaking her head in disappointment. "So...you threw something at me...because you wanted to ask me that stupid question? Try again, Gohan." She growled.

"But i'm not lying. I really don't know what a concert is."

"When people sing different types of music." Videl answered, annoyed.

"What type of music?" Gohan asked.

"Rock." Videl said simply.

"Are...you saying you guys worship rocks! Wow! But maybe I shouldn't be surprise, I mean you guys do worship Hercule, I guess a rock shouldn't be surprising."

"Wha...?" Videl shooked her head. Where did this guy come from? She thought. "NO...we don't worship rocks...and about my dad...I have nothing to say. Anyway...its rock music. You know. When people start screaming into the microphones and play eclectic guitars and drums and stuff like that."

"That sounds a little...scary...for my ears that is."

"Uh...I guess it can be."

"Videl?"

"Yeah?"

"What am I suppose to wear?"

"Hmmm? I don't know...jeans...and..." Videl paused for a moment and looked down at Gohan's clothing. He was wearing a orange vest, white shirt, and black pants, very geeky looking clothing. "Not that." She answered pointing to his clothes.

"What's wrong with these clothing?" He asked, looking down at them for himself.

"There...I don't know...geeky looking."

"Geeky?" Gohan repeated, his head tilting to the side in confusion.

"Yes, very very geeky."

"Oh...so...what should I wear?"

"Jeans...and a black T-shirt."

"Okay then..."

Silence followed. Growing uneasy, Videl found her chance to get away from here and go home. "Well, Gohan. I better get going. Bye!" Videl waved off to him and began to run off.

Couple minutes later Videl finally made it to the front gate of her house. Sighing in relief, she opened the gate and followed the cemented path to her house. Slowly she opened the door and walked inside the house, closing the door behind her.

"Dad! I'm home!" Videl yelled out, but she was only greeted by the silence. Sighing, she walked up the stairs to her room. Then she walked over to her counter, she pulled out her I-pod in the drawer. She plugged the earphone into her ears and it blasted with rock music. A small smile crossed her face as she gently bobbled her head up and down.

Then without wasting any other second, she pulled out a small white lab-top from her backpack. She sat down on her sea colored bed and perched it on her lap. Once she turned it on she automatically went on the Internet and typed in made up) and looked for the latest crimes. But all she found was all the crimes she already taken cared off.

"Nothing about a murder..." Videl murmured. With her legs still crossed, she pulled her back down on the soft bed and sighed. She closed her eyes and aloud the music to cover over her thoughts. Soon she found herself drifting to sleep.

Videl woke up around six forty p.m. Her computer no longer was sitting on her lap, but right beside her. Sitting up, she blinked her eyes, they were currently eyes resting on her alarm clock. As time passed by and her thoughts returned to her, her eyes widen.

"Dammit! I fell asleep!" She shrieked. Quickly she hopped off the bed and paced around her room. Darn it. I wasted another day and i'm not even one step closer! She thought. Then another thought hit her. She jumped toward the alarm clock and bit hard down on her lip.

"Oh, come on! Its already 6:44!?" Looking around drastically for something to change into, she ran over to her closet and flung it open. She quickly pulled out a random large white T-shirt and a short black shorts. Soon she was changed out of her jeans and t-shirt and fitted into her new ones. Then she worked on her hair. It was pretty messy, but soon she was able to slain those nasty tangles. She didn't even bother to put it up, but she did leave a rubber band next to her watch just in case.

She took another look at the clock and saw it was only 6:54. She then hurried to her backpack and decided to slip it over her arms. She walked over to the mirror and smiled to herself. She remember how Erasa would always' complain about the way she looked, but Videl was different, she didn't care what she looked like, it just didn't matter.

"Alrighty then. I'll just start looking for information tomorrow." She said to herself. With that said, she turned from the mirror and walked out of her bedroom and down the stairs. Once she reached the end, her cell phone began to ring. She didn't answer it until a few seconds later, she enjoyed listening to her ring tones.

"Hello?" She answered into the phone.

"Videl? I'm almost there." Sharpner voiced entered the cell.

Videl nodded her head and walked out of the house. Soon she past the gates. She leaned against the gate and sighed. She closed her eyes tightly. Why did she get a feeling something else was going to happen other then some concert?

She reopened her eyes when she hard the deep beep of Sharpner's red jeep. She stretched her arms out before she walked over to the jeep. Once she did though, she took a seat in the front sit, why? Because she always' got the front seat, that's why. She loved feeling in charge.

"Hey! Videl, aren't you excited?" Videl turned her head back to look over at Erasa and smiled at her friend. She shrugged her shoulders.

"Yeah, I guess." Videl answered.

Erasa smiled brightly then turned toward Gohan who was sitting right next to her. "What about you, Gohan?" She asked him, curiously.

Gohan shrugged his shoulder's in response. "Sure, it is my first time to one of these, to tell the truth, I was really surprise my mom said I could go."

Erase blinked her eyes and was about to ask why, but Sharpner beat her to it. "Why would you be surprise? My mom does whatever I tell her to do." He said smugly.

Videl resist the urge to roll her eyes. That's a totally lie. She thought. She was so close into bursting into a laugh.

Gohan smiled. "For real? Wow, you mean she doesn't get mad at you and start flinging her pan at you?" He asked.

Videl's eyes widen. Was he for real?

"What? Your mom flings a pan at you?" Erasa asked.

Gohan stared at Erasa bewildered expression and felt himself blush. Opps, maybe I wasn't suppose to say that. He laughed nervously. "Ha! You guy's...uh...fell for it. No, s-she'd never do that." Gohan manage to say.

Erasa's expression moved for bewildered into a smile. "Oh, haha, funny Gohan!"

Sharpner only snorted. "Yeah, funny." He said boredly.

Videl, not convince, narrowed her eyes, but she refused to say anything.

Instead she dug deeper into her sit and listened to the voices of Sharpner, Erasa, and Gohan. Her thoughts running wild. Her mind began to wonder back to last night. Who was that boy her father was talking about. She'd would have to ask him once he was at home again. She needed anything to solve this mystery.

"Videl? Were here." The voice snapped her back into reality and she was faced to faced with no other then Gohan. She blinked her eyes and looked around. Sharpner and Erasa were already out of the car and they were waiting for her.

"Opps. Spaced out." She told him as she pulled herself out of the jeep. She looked around her. There were a bunch of teenagers and adults alike lining up just to get in.

Gohan gave her one of his goofy smiles. "Something on your mind?" He asked.

Videl gave him a half shrug. "Kinda." She answered.

"So...? How many other concerts did you go to?" Gohan asked her, trying to come up with a conversation.

"Hmm...maybe two or three, I don't really have time for these things. Plus I hardly stay long, my watch normally will start beeping." Videl answered.

"Why do you have to leave when your watch start's beeping?" Gohan asked as they grew closer to the line.

Videl looked up at Gohan and smiled. "I never told you yet? Well, you see i'm pretty much the guardian of this city. So whenever the watch beeps, it's when someone is in trouble."

"Oh." Gohan smiled down at her and they held there gaze for a while. Neither of them looking away, soon they both stopped walking and just stared. But the gaze was broke when someone bumped into Gohan.

"Watch were your goin'!" The large man growled.

Videl glared at the man and grabbed his arm, pulling him to her, not allowing him to walk away after saying such a rude thing. "Hey! You better watch out how you talk to the daughter of Satan's friend! You understand?" She glared at him full blast.

The large man paled and he quickly bow. "I-I'm s-so s-sorry, Ms. S-Satan."

Videl smiply nodded her head and let the man go.

"T-Thanks." Gohan muttered with uncertainty.

Videl smiled and nodded her head. "See? What did I tell you about me being the guardian of this city." Videl said proudly.

Gohan nodded his head stiffly. Wow...better up never get Videl mad on my number one rule. He thought. He didn't even want to see what it would be like if he really got her mad, he did make that mistake once, he'd hate to make another encounter with another angry Videl.

Gohan and Videl walked in silence the rest of the way until they finally met up with there friends. After that they were waiting in the line for them to be let in. After a short wait, since Erase and Sharpner were already been waiting in line while they waited for them, they were walking down an idle, looking for seats.

All four unaware that while they were having fun, someone was in deep and terrible trouble.

How's that for the second chappy!? This time I corrected all my mistakes, hopefully all, and made it a little longer. Anyway, please review. Oh and sorry for not updating sooner like I said I would, I got kinda busy with other things.
