Demeter here with the next chapter! Now that Gohan as claimed Videl, things seem to be calmer between them, but is it? Time is running out and fast! With no way to locate them, can they truly be saved or will they become part of a forgotten legend?

Gohan awoke from his slumber due to the hard patter of rain that was beating outside. He could feel the chill in the air and the moisture in the air as though he was outside in the middle of the storm. He yawned and stretched his arms. He smiled as he replayed the events of last night in his head. He got out of bed; making sure not to wake Videl, and made his way over to the drinking stream. He kneeled down to dip his hands into the cool water when he saw his reflection and froze.

His teeth were still long and sharp and passed through his lips a tad bit. He stared at his hands when he noticed his nails were sharp; like claws. His tail twitched behind him as he studied himself. What brought about these changes? He knew his teeth was supposed to sharpen and grow during mating so he may bite his mate, but what of the claws? Was it to hold his mate still too? Vegeta had never mentioned claws before.

Gohan turned his head suddenly to see Videl stumble into the room; rubbing her eyes and yawning. His jaw dropped when he spotted she also had small fangs; though they were far smaller then his.

" Videl...you're teeth!"

Videl ran her tongue across the sharpened canines and then shrugged. " They were like this last night. Your's seemed to have grown though or maybe it's just me." She said as she kneeled down beside him and cupped some water in her hands so she may drink.

Gohan studied her hands and sighed as her nails did not look like his. They were not claws as well. " Oh. Sorry, though just caught me off guard."

" I see that." She smiled as she then licked his neck were she had bitten him. Videl laughed as he shook violently.

" you find this funny?" Gohan asked as he fought back the urge to take her again. He knew by the way she had walked in that she was sore; that being the only reason she was not beneath him now.

" Yes, I do." She purred as he licked her bite mark as well. " You best hope this does not scar."

" It won't. I didn't bite you that hard, just hard enough." He teased as he then stood and offered his hand to her. Gohan smiled when she took it and chuckled when she held onto him tightly. " It's raining today."

" I know. I can hear it." She replied softly; finding comfort in their small talk and their embrace.

" Wanna go play in it? Once we're done, we can jump in the hot spring to warm up. What do you say?" Gohan asked has he stroked her cheek lovingly and gazed into her eyes. They seemed to sparkle more then he could recall, but men in love could spout such nonsense.

" What would we do? Run?" She asked. Videl had never played in the rain before. She had always been in the city and never experienced that type of freedom. She frowned when Gohan laughed. " What is so funny?"

" Yes! We will run and play and explore new places! We will run free and wild and maybe even find something useful to help us leave this island!" Gohan spoke as he carried her to their room so they may get dressed. " Or...are you too sore to run and play? Was I too rough?"

" No! I can still play! I wanna play in the rain." Videl pouted, sticking out her lower lip a tad as she looked down to the floor at her furs.

Gohan chuckled as he bent his head a little to nip that quivering lip before kissing her deeply. He smiled against her lips as she snaked her hands around his thick neck and began to eagerly respond to him. Gohan pulled away and licked her cheek lightly. " alright. Get dressed so we may play. Then I'll so you what my mother meant, instead of just telling."

~ Baba's Place ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" This map is ANCIENT! How are we ever going to find them?" Bulma growled as she tried to match the old map to her modern one so she could narrow down the search area.

" I told you that!" Baba yelled back as she growled to the younger female.

" Just pick a damn spot! We need to move fast if we even have a chance to find them!" Vegeta growled, his arms crossed and the vein in his forehead ticking.

" We set sail near West City, so why not search the waters there?" Chichi asked as she pointed to the map in thought.

The area in question had twelve little islands that Gohan and Videl could of drifted off too and that was even if they stayed together! This search seemed like it was destined to fail form the start, but Goku would hear none of it.

" That's a good idea. Now listen, this magic is so thick that'll it block your chi, so you must use a boat. You can fly high in the air to look for it, but you can't approach it at all with the use of your powers. Also, there are demons and beasts of unimaginable strength that inhabit the islands, so go prepared for fights and take rations." Baba explained as Bulma rolled up the maps and placed them in a tube for protection. " If Gohan and Videl are even still alive, you must approach them with extreme caution."

" Why's that?" goku asked. His face showing great concern.

" Because they have been exposed to that magic and on a full moon night even! They must be starting to change and they will most likely be very hostile...if they're still human that is."

" Don't talk like that! Gohan and Sissy are fine!" Goten roared at the old witch, his eyes ready to spill over any minute now. He was torn up inside by the loss of his super hero and his sissy. He wished that they were home right now so he could go and give them a huge hug and tell them how the adults were being silly.

" Alright. Let's set sail." Goku said as he ran out the door. Everyone else followed except for Bulma, Chichi, the sisters, and the chibis.

~ With Gohan and Videl ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" Gohan! Wait up!" Videl laughed as she tried to catch the nimble giant who dodged her every grasp. He only laughed and hummed a sweet tone to tease her.

Gohan jumped into a tree and looked down at her from the branches. " Catch me if you can, Vi!" He laughed until Videl climbed up into the tree with him; she had used her claws to help her climb and stay on the tree like a cat would. " Oh? Think you can out maneuver me up here? Let's see you try!" He teased before he took off.

" I'll catch you, Gohan!" videl playfully growled as she took off after him. She found it easy to sink her claws into the damp wood and use the hold to propel her forward. She found it odd that she knew how to do that, but cared little at the moment. All she wanted to do was catch her love and wrestle with him. " I'm catching up, Gohan Son!"

Gohan quickly looked back and smirked when he saw that she was indeed catching up to him. He noticed the way she used her claws and for some reason found pride swell up inside him. He felt proud that she could even chase him up in the trees, since he had always loved to climb and run in them and found the act quiet easy. " It seems so, but who says I'm really trying?"

" What?" Videl couldn't believe that he could ran faster then he already was. " I thought you couldn't use your chi!"

" I can't, but I can do this!" Gohan laughed as he quickly grabbed a nearby vine and swung from one treetop to another. He heard Videl growl in frustration at him.

" That's not fair!" She barked as she snarled at him. Her new fangs gave her a fiercer look, but Gohan only found the sight exciting.

" Oh? Not fair you say? I didn't know there were rules." He teased as he sat down and yawned at her.

Videl felt her muscles tense, then uncoil as she leapt at him. Gohan barely had time to open his eyes before he saw Videl flying toward him. He gasped as she knocked into him and pushed the both of them completely out of the tree and onto the wet, jungle floor.

" You shouldn't take me lightly, Gohan." She purred as she hugged him.

Gohan only chuckled before he himself began to purr and nip at her neck. " I'd never think of it."

Before she could respond, a clash of thunder hit a tree not to far off from them. They froze as they took in the sight and the strong odor of brunt wood. The extremely large tree; about the size of four great oaks, was split in two all the way to the ground. The only reason it still stood was because it's roots were deep inside the earth.

" we should go back to the cave, I want a bath anyway." videl whispered in Gohan's ear, like something was listening in on them.

" Agreed." Gohan rolled Videl off of him and quickly ran off, daring Videl to try and catch him again. He missed the cat-like smirk that claimed Videl's lips as she rose to meet his challenge.

They reached the cave just as the storm became much worse, though neither took much noticed as they chased one another into the hot spring. The young couple splashed and tackled the other to a point of exhaustion.

" Gohan?" videl sighed as they both floated in the water in random patterns. They listened to the rain outside as they relaxed. She giggled as he gave out a grunt before she continued. " If we aren't making a raft, how are we to escape?"

Gohan blew out a gust of breath before he spoke. " I don't know. I'm thinking of giving the cave another look around. Maybe I'll find some items that might help us."

" That sounds good." Videl sighed as she watched him crawl out of the water. She watched the muscles ripple under his taunt skin; watched as he stretched and yawned. He must of felt her eyes on him because he turned to give her a naughty smirk.

" I've got plans for you, Videl." He chuckled before leaving her there in shock.

She shook her head from the naughty thoughts that had invaded it before she began to pay more attention to the water and how nice it felt. Videl was still a tad sore from last night, but the though of what gohan might do to her made her quickly forget.

Videl sighed as she ran her fingers through her long locks of hair and closed her eyes to better concentrate on how to escape rather then how Gohan would take her. This was going to be a long night.

~ In the Cave's kitchen~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gohan walked into the room with a bounce in his step. He was going to find why there was such a cold spot in this room and then he was going to see to Videl; which is the main reason for his bounce.

He could already feel the blood pull in his groins at the mere thought of having her again, but he had a mission to do first. Gohan puffed out his chest and began to throughly scan the room. Gohan would run his course hands against the smooth rock; feeling for any tempatures changes. He smiled when he found it.

There was a wall that was moveable, right by the counter. It led to another room that was nothing but ice! He couldn't believe his eyes at the dramatic change that was merely inches away from one another! How could it be?

Gohan shook his head and sighed. " at least we can store our meat now." He turned his gaze toward the door and smirked evilly to himself. Now it was time to really play!

~ On a Boat ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

" Bulma! Are you sure you're reading that map right? There's nothing here!" vegeta growled at the angry woman.

" No, Vegeta! I'm not sure! This map is as helpful as your damn mouth!" Bulma roared back at him.

" no fighting! We have bigger things to do!" Goku said, but it fell on deaf ears.

" If I remember correctly; you love my mouth." Vegeta snarled in a low tone, but loud enough for all to hear.

Bulma was fuming now, but a smirk claimed her lips, which slightly put Vegeta off. " Oh yeah? I'm not the one who was begging for it during Chichi's party." she laughed as Vegeta's jaw dropped and his mouth was as dry as a desert.

" WHAT?" Goku gasped at the two; his ears bleeding at the knowledge.

"...I...We were...that is..." Vegeta stumbled, but then just ran to his room.

" The island should be close. Eyes sharp, Guys!" Bulma cheered before she walked to her room and locked the door.
