Chapter III

"Why would I want to do that," Gohan asked.

"I don't know, that's not my problem just do it. Come on this is how we play the game, we can't play if you chicken out can we," I said crossing my arms.

"I guess not but I'm not allowed in that room."

"Are you scared?"

"No! I'm not allowed in there."

"Well just think of an excuse to go in there. Listen it's not my job to tell you how you are going to do it I just tell you what to do."

"But Videl-"

"I'm not going to make excuses when you tell me to do something, come on."

"Why?"

"Because 18 told me not to go in there."

"Then maybe we shouldn't."

"But we're playing and that's what I want you to do. Please just do it or I won't play with you anymore."

"Maybe I don't care."

"Why," I yelled.

"Shh, they'll hear you."

"Yeah right they're probably too busy," I had no idea what I was talking about.

"Doing what?"

"Why don't you go find out?"

A weird look crossed his face then he sighed. Gohan reached for the door but before he could open it, it flung open. I quickly hid around the corner and all I could hear was the voices of Goku and Gohan.

"Gohan, what are you doing here this time," Goku asked. Gohan didn't respond in any audible way that I could tell. "Well let's get you back to your room."

"I want to see mom," Gohan said.

"Well I'll send her to your room but you need to go back now."

There was quite for a minute then Gohan spoke, "I need to see mom."

"Just a minute," Goku sounded a little nervous. Gohan broke away from him and him, opened the door and ran inside. Goku started to say something but then I heard him sigh in relief.

I waited for a few minutes and Gohan appeared around the corner. He didn't look to happy but I got up off the floor and gave him his box. I smiled at him to reassure him, "Good job Gohan," I put my arm around him, "You did good."

Four years later we were still playing the game and it hadn't gotten old yet. I moved up to the second level of class where I found out why I was there and I didn't really mind. After all I didn't really know anything else so how could I have been affected.

I went to class an hour later than I had the previous years. What I learned was a lot more complicated than putting on make up and do your hair. We learned what we were here for and how to seduce the guests. The girls in my class ranged from ten to fourteen and they all learned the same thing. In addition to learning how to seduce we learned how to defend ourselves and all that kind of stuff. It was, needless to say, a lot different than the first level.

Class was kind of interesting and we were more involved with the women. We still helped them get ready but we actually got to talk to them. When I was twelve I got to spend more time helping 18 and less time in class. Since 18 wasn't a prostitute I got assigned to other women once in a while. 18 taught me a lot more about the place as I got older and she told me I should try to get out of my job but I told her it didn't bother me.

"Yeah," 18 laughed, "You haven't done anything yet. Hey you better kiss your boyfriend goodbye, you only have three years."

"Shut up, I don't have a boyfriend," I said taking her dress and hanging it up.

"What about Chichi's kid," 18 grinned.

"18 stop teasing me. He's just my friend."

"Yeah come to think of it I never really see you two together. He'll be doing something and you'll be off in the corner watching, are you stalking him or something?"

"No. We're playing something, that's all."

"Oh I see. Does Gohan take after his parents?"

"What are you talking about now?"

"Oh god you haven't caught on to them by now. Christ Videl you are stupid."

"I am not stupid but I have better things to worry about. What are you talking about?"

"You are stupid aren't you? Don't you ever see them alone together."

"How can I see them ALONE?"

"You know what I mean."

I thought about it for a while for a while and I remembered something, "Yes. A long time ago but I do remember seeing them one time. They seem like they love each other."

18 laughed, "Oh they sure do. They can't get off each other."

I sighed, "Oh that's real funny. Thanks for telling me now I'll never look at them the same way."

"She's due for another kid sometime soon unless Madam took that away from her. You know, she could have ripped it out of her," She laughed, "Or ripped it off of him."

I handed her another dress from the other side of the stream, "Really can we not talk about this."

"What do you think of Gohan?"

"He's weird."

"ChiChi's been complaining about him being in trouble with some of the people here. She says she didn't think she raised him that way."

I laughed thinking of all the bad things I made him do over the years, "Yeah I know. I told him to do it all."

"Really? Are you using your teachings already?"

"No, it's our game. Never mind, it's none of your business."

"Excuse me, I'll stay out of your sex life."

"We are not having sex."

"Sure, neither are Goku and ChiChi."

"Shut up. Are you ready?"

"Yes. You can go."

I headed to Gohan's room after my time with 18. As usual I let myself in and scared him half to death. A smile crossed my face but he just shook his head at me and look back at one of his books.

"Gohan, stop studying your stupid books and play with me."

"You know my mom will be mad if she finds out. I only have an hour left."

I sighed, "And I only have an hour break." I took the book from him and sat on his desk.

'What do you want?"

"I just told you. It's my turn."

"Well," he said shutting his book."

I looked at him for a minute and I remembered what 18 was asking me. What did I think of him? A lot more than I did six years ago that's for sure, but he did not seem to see me the same way. What could I do? I smiled slyly at him, "Ask me what I learned today."

He gave me a weird look, "Why?"

I dangled the box in front of his face, "Ask me, Gohan."

"Tell me why first."

"Ask me."

"Is this something that I want to know?"

I growled, "Come on Gohan I'm giving you the easiest thing to do since I asked you to go in your parents room-"

"That wasn't easy!"

"The point is all you have to do is ask me one little question."

"Fine," he paused for a while, "What did you learn today."

"Say please."

Another sigh, "Please tell me what you learned today."

"Now say Miss Videl."

"Just tell me."

I laughed, "I'm kidding." Pulling myself over a little on the desk with one hand, I handed him the box with the other hand.

"Well," he said taking the box.

"Oh yeah, I guess I have to answer you. Maybe you should ask me, it is your turn."

He held up the box, "Tell me."

I took it, "Show you."

"What?" I slid off of the desk and into his lap, taking him completely by surprise. My arms linked together around behind his neck and I kissed him on the lips. His reaction was actually quit funny but after a while I knew that he had given in.
