Chapter 11

Jazz Clubs, Sprinting, and Confessions part 1

Author's note: This is it one of the final chapters to my first story, wow seems just like yesterday that I thought up this story on an amusement ride, I'm excited and I hope you are too. I want to thank all of you for the awesome reviews! Especially Gue22, Lilly-sama, and SierraLarson, not that the rest of your reviews were nothing to me I appreciated and enjoyed each one, it's just the people listed gave me some really great reviews and I'd like to thank them for it. Let's not worry about that now sit back, relax, enjoy, and reviewing for one of the last times would be nice ;)

Gohan walked through the door to his house and grabbed a soda out of the fridge, ignoring his parents completely who were making out shamelessly on the top of the kitchen table; not even his parents going at it could ruin his mood. He walked into his room and hopped onto his bed, a dreamy smile still plastered on his face. He absentmindedly reached his hand up and touched his lips recapping on the events of the afternoon, it was his first real kiss. He wondered if it was her's too, but as he was pondering it a bleep came from his computer. Oh shoot! I forgot to shut it off before school! It's been on all day! He thought as he got up and went to check out the bleep noise. He looked at the screen and a small window was popped up and had a message saying "You have a new friend request from: 'Videl Satan' do you wish to accept?" Gohan quickly clicked yes. A few seconds later a messenger window popped up,

Videl says: Hey Gohan

Gohan says: How did you know I had a messenger account?

Videl says: Erasa told me,

Gohan says: Oh, wait how did she know?

Videl says: beats me,

Gohan says: that's weird I don't remember telling her...

Another bleep happened this time telling that Erasa had sent a friend request, he quickly accepted that one too.

Gohan says: Erasa just added me

Videl says: Cool I can invite her in so we can have a three way chat

Gohan says: alright

Erasa has joined the chat

Erasa says: Hey guys

Videl says: Sup Erasa

Erasa says: So what happened between you two that made Hercule release the Kracken?

Gohan says: The what?

Videl says: She means the dogs

Gohan says: Oh

Videl says: Besides I bet you already know don't you Love Doctor, it was all a part of your plan

Gohan says: What plan?

Erasa says: After Videl left you at the dance she came to me for help

Gohan says: Wait what?

Erasa says: She was confused about her feelings, btw you guys are so cute together! My best couple yet!

Videl says: Don't get all mushy on us!

Erasa says: Videl you may be tough, but you have one weakness: Gohan! And the way you try to hide it is just so... so cute!

Videl says: WATCH IT ERASA!

Gohan says: So wait, what!

Erasa says: Gohan your so naïve, oblivious, and let's face it your kinda of a dork, but that just makes it cuter =D

Videl says: I'm starting to regret starting a three way chat...

Gohan says: I'm still confused...

Videl says: Gohan we need to talk, but it is gonna be a lot more difficult now

Gohan says: Why would it be difficult? Can't we talk now?

Videl says: I'd feel better if we talked in person, also it'll be difficult because now my Dad is gonna watch me like a hawk

Gohan says: Why?

Erasa says: Because her Dad hates boys that threaten to "Take my sweetpea away from me!" lol

Gohan says: That explains the dogs chasing me down... by the way what does lol mean?

Erasa says: Gohan, Gohan, Gohan, you have so much to learn my naïve sheltered friend

Videl says: I'll probably have to be escorted and watched at school by a bunch bodyguards

Gohan thought about that for a moment, while he popped open his soda can and took a sip. He could take care of all of the body guards without a problem, but he didn't want to hurt anyone who was innocent and was just doing their job. Then the thought struck him he could easily get Videl away from them without hurting them.

Gohan says: I have a plan to get you away from them

Videl says: Well let's hear it

Gohan says: It's to difficult to explain through messenger

Videl says: THEN HOW THE HELL WILL I KNOW WHAT TO DO?

Gohan says: You won't have to do anything but trust me and do what I say during the escape

Videl says: Fine it better be good because if it fails the guards will double

Erasa says: I'm kinda hungry...

Gohan says: Don't worry it won't I promise

Erasa says: Think I'll order pizza...

Videl says: I trust you

Erasa says: You guys even listening to me?

Gohan says: Your fifth period is on the fourth floor right?

Erasa says: I could say anything I want right now and you guys probably won't even listen

Videl says: Yeah it's on the fourth floor

Erasa says: Gohan I was the one who stole your sandwich yesterday

Gohan says: I knew it! I knew you took it you bastard! Sorry for the language but I don't mess around when it comes to food!

Videl says: Ain't that the truth...

Erasa says: I'm sorry it looked so good, I couldn't help myself Y-Y

Videl says: My dad is knocking on my door I gotta go!

Gohan says: Wait Videl I need to tell you something!

Videl has signed off

Gohan says: Darn it!

Erasa says: I'm gonna go order pizza c'ya

Gohan says: YOU OWE ME A SANWICH!

Erasa says: Sorry not happening! Too bad bye! ;D

Erasa has signed off

Gohan gulped down the rest of his soda and tossed the can away. Darn Erasa he thought as he turned off his computer and returned to his bed, Hope my plan works... Let's see fourth floor, Professor McCarty's room should work... As he ran through his plan he slowly drifted off to sleep. He woke up before dawn, he still had time to sleep but he couldn't, so he got out of bed and went to the bathroom.

But returned quickly after hearing some disturbing sounds being emitted from his parent's room. He laid back down for a while waiting for the sun to come up, but then the thought struck him why didn't he just leave? He got up made his bed and left a note for his mom when she came to wake him, saying he had left for school and would eat there. He jumped out his window not wanting to risk passing his parent's bedroom for what he might hear. He took a deep breath and then took off for the skies, by the time he had reached the city the sun was coming up, when he landed he checked the time. 6:56 wonder if any food places are open... He thought, it didn't take long until he found himself at Steamer's in a booth, sipping on Strong Stuff. He was one of the few there, as he looked around at the other people, two men in a trench coat and hat, the only waitress, a business woman, and then he saw her- Oh no! Please not now!

"Hiya Gohan!"

"Eep!" Gohan yelped, she slid into the other side of the booth as he slowly sunk into his seat, Can't this girl take a hint!

"So Gohan, you have been really rude lately," Keiko started, "But I'll forgive you if you say sorry,"

"I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry," Gohan whimpered, "Wait did that make sense? I meant to say that I am sorry that I am not sorry about what I said," he started to chuckle nervously while looking for a route to escape,

"Excuse me stalker, but that's my seat," A familiar voice from behind Gohan said, he turned around to find it was Erasa, "So why don't you go and pet the lock of hair you cut from Gohan's head,"

"Pfft... This is none of your business Blondie so why don't you just keep walking," Keiko growled,

"I guess you just don't keep up with the news," Erasa smirked, she started to poke Gohan's head continuously and said, "This here is property of Videl Satan, so it would be wise to back off!"

"Things can change," She said as she slid out of the booth, she waved to a blushing Gohan before leaving, Videl's property? "Byyyye Gohan,"

"B-Bye Kiko,"

"It's Keiko!" She said through gritted teeth,

"Jeez Gohan it's a good thing you live out in the mountains, otherwise you would have already been followed home and raped several times by her," Erasa laughed as she slid into where Keiko was sitting, "Good thing I came to talk to you when I did otherwise she probably would have slipped you a ruffie,"

"What's a ruffie?" Gohan asked,

"Ever hear of the date rape drug?"

"Oh... Ohhh..." Gohan said realizing what she meant, "You don't think she would have- you know-"

"Keiko is crazy it wouldn't surprise me if she did," Erasa said, "But anyway I am here on business so listen carefully, those two guys over there in the trench coats and hats are some of Hercule's goons, they have been following you,"

"Yeah I know," Gohan said simply as he took a sip of his drink,

"Wait wha?" Erasa asked, "How do you already know?"

"They have been following me since about five minutes after I got in the city," Gohan said, "and how I know that is also part of the plan but we can't speak of it here, not with them watching, also how did you know where I was at?"

"Uh... Okay then, and I knew where you were because I saw were you were flying," Erasa said surprised Gohan knew about the two guys, he always seemed as thick as cement, "Where could we talk about it?"

"Follow me," He said getting up and walking out the door with her, as soon as they were outside and out of view of Steamer's windows he grabbed Erasa and flew them both up to Steamer's roof ,

"WAAAAAHH!" She yelped in surprise,

"shhh... They could've heard you!" Gohan whispered, as they landed,

"S-Sorry a little more warning next time please?"

"Sorry didn't really have time," Gohan apologized, rubbing the back of his neck,

"So how did you find out about the goons? And what is your plan?" She asked eagerly

"I can sense power levels or I guess you could say I can sense people and some objects and sometimes their intentions," Gohan replied, "and I figured that Hercule would send people to watch me so I just monitored the power levels around me and figured that those powers followed me where ever I went,"

Erasa was surprised, she sometimes forgot that Gohan was really smart under his naïve and oblivious personality "That's weird... Anyway so what's your plan?"

"I can sense power levels so I can track all of Videl's bodyguards and find the right moment to take her away from them," Gohan explained, "I also will be able to avoid them in that way also, but I need an distraction in order to get Videl away,"

"Leave the distraction to me!" Erasa exclaimed with a devious smile, "I know just how to do it,"

"Um... Okay so how will I know when to take her,"

"It depends where were you planning to snatch her?"

"In front of Professor McCarty's room,"

"Ah, a room with two exits, good plan, well when you feel the bodyguards move away from Videl snatch her away then okay?"

"Alright but I would feel better if I knew what the distraction was,"

"Oh you'll see," Erasa said with the same smile that sort of creeped Gohan out,

"By the way how did you know my messenger username?"

"I have my ways," She said, smiling a smile that made feel even more creeped out, "now get us down from here we gotta get to class,"

The school day went surprising fast for Gohan, who had spent most of his focus on sensing the out all the bodyguards. The day was terrible though considering he couldn't sit next to Videl at all, which put him in a bad mood. Though the time finally came, about ten minutes before the final bell Gohan jumped out of his seat and said,

"Bathroom!" and ran out of the room filled with his laughing classmates,

"Gohan wait you need a pass-" The teacher called after him, but he was already gone, "Darn the kid must have smallest bladder I have ever seen, seems like every five minutes he's running out,"

Gohan sprinted up to the fourth floor and slipped into McCarty's room, luckily he didn't fifth period class so the Professor just went home. He waited patiently for the bell to ring, feeling out all of the bodyguards. There were two in the class with her and one in the hall outside the classroom door, the bell rang Gohan got ready for the distraction. He could feel all three following behind her as they turned the corner, then he heard the distraction.

"Hey douche bags!" Gohan heard- Sharpner? "I'm here to kidnap Videl!"

"Get him!" One of the bodyguards yelled, "Junichi stay with the girl," Gohan felt the other two bodyguards run after Sharpner, while the third stood guard in front of Videl just outside the door. Gohan quietly opened the door and grabbed Videl and pulled her inside, her slammed into his chest as soon as she was pulled in. Gohan guessing she would flip out put his hand over her mouth, he was right when she started thrashing around in his arms and letting out muffled yells.

"Videl it's me! Gohan!" He whispered into his ear, "So stop struggling," when she did he let go of her.

"A little more warning next time?" She whispered angrily,

"Sorry," Gohan whispered back, "here come with me," He grabbed her hand making her blush and led her across the room to the second exit which was connected to another classroom. They slipped out of the second classrooms main door and ran for the stairs, as they slipped through the doors they heard the bodyguard discover her missing. They dashed down the stairs but Gohan felt new bodyguards coming from the bottom so they slipped into the second floor. As they swam through a sea of leaving students, and turned the corner of the second floor he felt even more coming through the opposite stairs down the hall. So he pulled Videl into a nearby classroom, but he pulled her in too fast and she spun into his chest. She gasped and blushed, but Gohan didn't notice he was feeling out for the two bodyguards. He felt them run past, so he looked down at Videl and that's when he noticed that her chest was pressed against his. He felt his face light on fire, they both looked at each other for a moment. And then Gohan felt Videl's hands slowly move up his chest and wrap around his neck, he slipped his hands around her waist. This time Videl took the initiative and closed the distance between them. The same elated feeling from before hit both of them, but Videl tried something new, Gohan felt her tongue pressing against his lips. Not sure what exactly to do he opened his mouth slightly allowing Videl in. While their tongues wrestled with each other, Videl's hand slipped into his hair, and Gohan pulled her closer crushing their chests together.

"Blue team check this floor's classrooms, Green team take the third floor, Red team take fourth floor, Yellow team take the first floor and guard the entrance!" Gohan heard a bodyguard yell, he broke off the kiss, he got distracted he felt people all over the halls. And he had a feeling they weren't students, he had to think, the windows!

"Videl get on my back!" He whispered,

"What?" She hissed,

"Just get on my back," He hissed back, she complied and got on his back, he walked quietly to one of the windows, opened it, and hopped out. She screamed on their way down,

"WHAT THE HELL GOHAN!"

"Sorry..."

"A LITTLE MORE WARNING SERIOUSLY!"

"I'm getting that a lot lately," He said as he landed like it was nothing, he ducked behind some bushes and let Videl off his back,

"So what now?" She asked,

"Hmm... I'm not to sure... Where do you want to go to talk?"

Just then a GT-500 hover car pulled up at the nearby street and Erasa got out of the passenger's side door,

"Get in!" She said, Gohan and Videl piled in quickly so they wouldn't be seen,

"You guys better be happy I'm sticking my neck out for you," Sharpner said from the driver's seat, they were cruising down the road heading towards downtown,

"Thanks for the distraction Sharpner," Gohan thanked Sharpner,

"Yeah whatever, now where are we headin'?"

"Go to Steamers," Erasa said,

"Don't you think that we could go somewhere more safe?" Gohan asked,

"We're going to the Rhythm of the Java, you know the place under it?"

"Oh... I have never been down there before," Gohan said,

"Mostly only college students go down there," Erasa said, "but it is a good place to hide,"

Yea decided to cut it in two and maybe add an epilogue. Oh yeah it is 8:15 pm, May 31, 2011 in my timezone on this update anonymous, still in this month technically, so how do you like them apples? I want to thank you though because that comment rushed me into production. If anyone still has questions ask now because I will answer next update! Only one of you seemed to ask a question though, but the0blind0writer asked a bunch so here are the answers: the reason Sharpner wasn't angry about Gohan kissing Videl was because I tried to make his character into sort of a... "playa" if you will. And the slap Keiko gave to Gohan only left a mark because of, well I guess this old quote should explain: "Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn" and that's a truthful statement believe me. And lastly he didn't return because she would have been well guarded after an incident like that, and also getting chased down by rottweilers wouldn't make someone to keen to return ;D. Well sorry it took all month but I had final exams to worry about but don't worry I passed them all ;D please review flames accepted but not necessary. You can expect the next and possibly last update this weekend, hopefully, encouragement might help it speed up (this is the part were I convinced you to review) ;D
