Whee!!

There was laughter.

Higher and higher they went!

Then charcoal eyes snapped opened.

When Gohan woke up, he could remember the dream clearly. Bits and pieces may have been missing, but he remembered the little boy, the joy, the yellow cloud, and that man.

That man.

That man that brought peace and joy to the little boy. It was almost a foreign feeling to him.

It made Gohan's skin tingle.

Almost was a good word to use. Almost foreign. He did have someone in his life that brought some peace and joy to him. Videl. His sleep-drunken eyes drifted to the body beside him that was sleeping soundly. Her smaller legs were tangled with his as her head rested comfortably on his chest. His tail was already wrapped securely around her upper thigh. In a moment of wonder and thankfulness, Gohan brushed the hair on her face away and examined her again. Her lips were parted barely as her breath came in and our slowly.

She was with him. She gave herself to him. She did it.

Gohan smiled softly at her, at this precious being, and then closed his eyes. His hand flitted over her back and the back of his fingers stroked her supple flesh.

Though this woman distracted him for a few moments, Gohan's thoughts returned to the dream of the happy little boy and his father.

She lusted for him.

Lust.

It was such a dirty word.

But every time she looked at him her fingers itched to comb his thick hair. Every time she looked at him, her mouth wanted to meet his lips. And every time she looked at him, she wanted her body pressed with his.

Lust… it's such a dirty word.

And this sinful lust took her over. And him.

It was the second day and the pair acted as "normal" as they are. There was really no awkwardness.

They ate breakfast together before Gohan left for some business of the androids and then returned for lunch before proposing another training session. He knew she wanted to get stronger.

After an hour of ki blasts and open-handed combat, both individuals were coated in sweat, Videl more than Gohan. He had upped the anti, sort to speak. He was harder on her. He didn't let her get away with easy shots. He was pushing her to exhaustion.

"You're getting sloppy," the half-Saiyan told her soon. He caught her fist in his hand and forced her backwards easily. The wrinkles gathered on her forehead as she felt her back connect with the cool wall.

Her heart was racing. His bare chest and muscles pulsating against her skin was distracting, letting loose a flock of butterflies in her stomach. Slowly, surely, he had her trapped against the wall with both arms tied up beside her.

"How would you get out of this?" he asked her with a low voice. It was husky and full of need.

She did not smile nor frown. She felt powerless again but this was different. This man would not hurt her; he would not kill her. Her body trembled as she struggled for a good minute. Then she let loose her inhibitions and reached out for a kiss. His lips met hers hard, his body melding to hers. Breaths mingled and tongues danced for several minutes before he pulled away with her arms still pinned up. He kissed her sweaty brow. "You can't do that to an opponent," Gohan pointed out.

Videl swallowed hard, breathless. "I know." He released her arms slowly and they stood in silence for a moment. With connected eyes, he gently kissed her again. The kiss grew greedier and her back met the cool wall again. She responded hungrily, her hands searching his muscles. She moaned against his mouth, feeling her skin quickly go ablaze, and rocked to her peak when he later claimed her.

She laid beside him afterwards, aware of her impulsiveness, cursing her impulsiveness and finally just letting it be.

What is this? What am I doing? Why am I doing this?

She turned her head towards Gohan, who held her quietly in his arms. He looked deep in his thoughts but he felt her stare on him. "What?"

"You're an alien."

He nodded.

"So there is much more out there. Tell me what's there."

He looked thoughtful at her request. "There is so much to tell. I can just show it to you."

It took her a minute to process what he said but ignored the implications of that notion. Instead she asked a more specific question. "Tell me about other planets. A beautiful planet and its people."

He took a deep breath and sat up with her. His mouth found hers again, as if to distract her but when he pulled away he said, "Natas." He smiled, a rarity yes, but it was sincere. Gohan then gave her his hand and lifted her up.

"Natas," he repeated. "Most of their people are blessed with magical powers."

She looked at him wide-eye. "Magic?" Videl held his neck loosely as he carried her out of the training quarters and into their room.

He smiled at her. "Yes, magic is real."

She frowned. "Continue."

"Their planet is beautiful with vast forests, great rivers and lakes. Two stars light the planet during the day and at night its two moons shine brightly. The people were also beautiful. The women were full breasted, voluptuous and knew how to please a man."

Her frown deepened. "It sounds like you would know."

His laugh rang softly in her ears. "I did not seed anyone of them, but they were nice people. Civil."

At this point they had made their way to the bedroom. Videl was let loose and walked to the bathroom. He followed.

"So why didn't you stay there if it was so beautiful?"

"I have other things to do. That planet had many problems anyways."

"Like what?" Videl pushed the sliding door open.

"The men and their ruling system. The men took advantage of their women. The planet, Natas, was attacked by a vile creature and was almost destroyed." He stopped when she looked back at him. He did not know it but her face grew hot when he stared at her.

Videl asked him, "How beautiful were these women?" She tried to hide the envy in her tone but she was not successful.

He laughed at her again. "Are you jealous?" It was the second time he accused her of feeling this way and she did not like it.

Her eyes strayed away from his face. "No, just wondering why you're here instead."

He closed the space between them and took a handful of her hair in his hands. "Because it pleases me beyond understanding when you scream my name." He licked her quivering lips. "And when you tremble under my touch." He took another step forward, forcing her in the shower. "And when I see you want me." His breath mingled with her and she managed to turn on the shower.

"You can do that to any woman," Videl managed to say, struggling to speak properly with his hands caressing her flesh.

He lifted her up and instinctively her legs wrapped around his waist. The water beat their skin softly but their priority was not to get clean. "But I don't want all women the way I want you." His eyes grew dark, glazed with lust.

"Why me?" She already knew this. I am unlike the others. I am special. That made her happy.

But this time his answer was different. "The things I feel for you are indescribable." He kissed her softly, teasing her lips. "I can kill men without hesitation and yet when it comes to you, all I want to do is please you."

Her eyes burned with tears that she let fall in the shower. He had not noticed them as he captured his lips with hers. Gohan then proceeded to claim her again.

Many of their days were filled with sex. The settings changed: the kitchen, living room, even outside. Afterwards, if either person did not fall asleep, she would often ask him about himself or of the universe that she was inexperienced of. He amazed her, of course, and soon February came.

"Tomorrow is February the second," Videl proclaimed, yawning. It was little over a month since their relationship had crossed that line of intimacy. The human woman sat up and looked down at Gohan. "Are you tired of me yet?" It was a playful question.

"No, never." He kissed her stomach and then sat up with her. "I want to ask you something."

She gave him her full attention and waited.

"I'm going to meet my brother tomorrow."

"That's not a question," Videl pointed out.

"Fine. I mean, should I meet my brother?" There was conflict in his eyes and it made her heart burn.

"You're not going to hurt him, are you?" She eyed him carefully.

He looked away. "Of course not." Then Gohan turned back and gave her a serious look. "They found you." He was talking about the men that Hercule hired. He knew he would figure it out sooner or later. It was just a matter of time.

She stiffened for two reasons. One, she was afraid of what Gohan would do. The other, she didn't want to admit, but she liked being here with him. "And what happened?"

"They're not totally sure you're here, but they had some scouts about. I don't know how they found us… Erasa does not know this destination."

Videl was suddenly aware that he had spared her life; she smiled. "My father has a lot of money you know."

He nodded. "I can see that."

Videl rose and put on a robe. "We've both changed," she said, breaking the silence. She walked to the door. "Why do you want to meet your brother?"

"I'm curious. He's my brother. I've interacted with children before, many times, which may be surprising to you, but I'm confident—" He paused suddenly and repeated, "I'm curious."

Her look was serious. "Is that all?"

He shook his head but never elaborated. "I smell food. Let's go."

"What the fuck was he doing?" was his immediate thought when he re-entered the Earth's atmosphere.

Today his thought had not changed.

"What the fuck are you doing Gohan?"

A few moments earlier Raditz had stormed in with six dragonballs in possession. He laid all of them on the table and then turned to the two people eating their breakfast. The woman had stopped, frozen, while his nephew stood up and took a few steps forward, as if to protect her.

Then came the coldness and darkness that engulfed the half-Saiyan. Power oozed through him. This was the Gohan that Videl first met and normally she would get anxious and edgy.

But not today.

"What are you doing Gohan!?" Raditz repeated. His eyebrows furrowed and his fury appendage lashed about wildly.

Gohan frowned at him. "What do you mean?"

Whatever power Raditz had, he controlled, but his anger was visible in his eyes and body movements. He glanced over at Videl and could not accept that Gohan had kept her and fought for her. He took a moment to calm down before he spoke again. "Have you forgotten your mission? Have you forgotten your destiny?" He took a step closer to his son.

The half-Saiyan almost fisted his hand. "I have not."

Raditz's eyes narrowed at him dangerously. "You're taking your sweet ass time about it." He glanced at Videl for a second.

"If you touch her, I will kill you," Gohan threatened.

"You'll kill your own father?" Raditz tested. He did not know Gohan knew the truth.

Gohan almost smirked. "I will not kill my own father. But if you must know, I will defend what's mine." He kept calm and waited.

Raditz swallowed hard. "Will you be ready in two days?" He wanted to mention why Krillin was still alive, and why was Vegeta still alive, but he decided not to. Krillin would be the last straw to him – Kakarott – anyways.

Gohan nodded and glanced at the dragonballs. "I'll get the last one tomorrow."

Raditz gave Gohan a hard look. "I'll be leaving to Namek now. Don't screw up, boy." Then he turned and stalked away.

Gohan turned around to face Videl. The ice in his eyes melted. "He can't hurt you."

Videl stood and rolled her eyes. "I'm not scared. Anyways, let's go change to spar." She turned to walk away but Gohan's hand stopped her.

"Two days," he told her, as if she was supposed to know what that meant. He advanced her, with the same passion burning in his eyes, and melded his lips to hers. She reached up to hold his arms. Videl felt the warmth radiating from him, like from his hands that held her face. When their lips separated he looked down at her sincerely, pushing down her robe.

She somewhat felt conscious when she was nude in front of him but every time he amazed her with the way he looked at her. "Two days?" she asked.

Gohan didn't respond verbally. His lips were busy to crash with hers and settle into a kiss… that of course progressed to other things.

The little boy clutched on the orange ball while he hopped over rocks in the river. He wore a thick winter jacket and as he ran quicker, his breathing increased until he reached to his destination. It was the top of a cliff, where he could look down at the forest and at all of the animals.

"It's pretty up here, isn't it Gohan?" He sat at the ledge, grinning with the orange ball in his lap. He expected silence but there was an unexpected voice behind him.

"It is."

Goten whipped around wide-eye. His face softened before his eyes narrowed. "You're the man at Trunks's house."

Gohan walked forward, closing the space between them. "Who were you talking to?" he asked. His voice was much softer than the last time Goten remembered. This man didn't feel as scary as he was before.

"I was talking to Gohan." He held up the orange dragonball.

Gohan raised his eyebrow. "Oh?" It was not difficult in finding Goten. His ki signature was distinct and he was not weak. "You named that Gohan?"

Goten looked down, slightly embarrassed. "My brother's name is Gohan." When he looked back up, Gohan gave him a small smile. So they haven't figured out that the real Gohan was here? Did they truly accept that Gohan was gone to them forever?

"What happened to your brother?" he asked, knowing full well he was playing with the little boy.

"Daddy's brother took him away."

There was some silence. "That's true. But he grew up and returned. I find it a disgrace that you named me after a ball."

Goten's mouth dropped as his eyes strayed to the brown tail that "floated" behind the man. "You're my brother?" Eyes widened and the voice was filled with belief and realization.

He nodded and a corner of his lip lifted. "I never knew I had a brother," Gohan started looking at the forest, "I didn't know I have a mother…"

Goten stood up, excited. "Mommy and Daddy are going to be happy to see you!"

The older brother raised an eyebrow. "You think so?"

Goten nodded profusely. "We all miss you!"

A cool breeze blew by the brothers, which was appropriate for the silence between them. "Why?" he asked, gazing into the innocence of a child.

"No matter what, Mommy and Daddy will always love you."

Gohan made a funny noise in his throat as if he did not believe that. "I would like to meet them but not today."

Goten frowned. "Why not?"

"I don't want to scare them." It was a lie, but Goten believed it. The truth was Gohan was scared. A superficial fear for something he should not fear. Then Gohan added, "But I would like to know you before I meet them."

Goten stared at the once-intimidating man before him and said nothing else than, "I do too."

"You want to play a game?"

Goten nodded, still grinning.

"The problem is, the game is at my home."

"But I want to play." Goten's eyebrows furrowed.

Gohan gave him a smile that melted his fears. "You can come home with me."

The little boy took a step away. "Mommy said I shouldn't go anywhere without telling her, especially strangers."

"I'm not a stranger, I'm your brother."

Goten looked at the ground, thinking.

"I have lots of ice cream and chocolate. I'm sure you love food." Then when Goten's stomach growled, Gohan laughed. "Look you're hungry too."

Goten's mouth started to water. "I love ice cream."

"So come home with me. You can eat as much as you want. And then we'll do whatever you want to do," Gohan encouraged. "I will take you home afterwards."

It took less than one minute for Goten to agree.

Then, in another hour, all seven dragonballs were reunited.

Chichi quickly placed the last food item on the table and breathed out heavily. The food smelled great and she was proud of herself, being able to take care and feed of her family. "Dinner's ready!" she yelled out. But instead of getting mobbed by two hungry Saiyans, Chichi was alone.

"Goku! Goten! Come for dinner!"

Again no response.

Chichi wiped her hands on her apron before looking outside. She saw no one playing outside. The sun was setting. It grew quiet.

"Goku?"

Nothing.

"Goten?"

Nothing.

Chichi walked around her little home until she found a figure quickly fly home.

"Hey Chichi, sorry I'm late for dinner. Vegeta and I were sparring," Goku apologized, smiling broadly.

Chichi grew tense. "Where's Goten?"

Goku frowned. "Trunks said he left a long time ago."

"Well it's dinner time and he's usually here by now." Chichi looked at the setting sun. "Where could he be?"

Goku scratched the back of his head. "I'm sure he off playing somewhere." But to pacify his wife, he closed his eyes and sensed for his son's whereabouts. "Uh…"

"What?"

The Saiyan's face grew serious, which was a rare thing. "I can sense him, but it's really vague." Goku opened his eyes. "I can't pinpoint where he is." He was sure if he was at Capsule Corporation his ki signature would be strong and vibrant.

"Did he fall somewhere?"

"If he fell in a deep hole, I'm sure I'd still be able to find him. But…" Goku looked at Chichi and frowned.

"Where is my son Goten?" Chichi whispered.

"I don't know…" Green flashed in his eyes. Blonde replaced black for a moment. A fluctuating power whirled around him.

"I don't know but I'm going to bring him back."

Apologies for a really really late update! But I updated!! Please Review!

Kiss kiss!
