Author's Note: Sorry I'm late. Again. I know I said I'd update sooner but, personal things got in the way. I know. Lame excuse. And then I had to fix my net book from the viruses it got. Well, enough of making you wait. Here's the chapter.

Chapter 11: Fighting Crime

"Gohan, why would you need a device like that?"

Gohan had made his way to Capsule Corporation and he had just told Bulma about how he needed something that helped him automatically change to his gi.

"Well, I just thought I help the police and Videl fight the criminals, seeing as though their a lot of them."

"Yes. I guess being a super hero is too much in your blood. By the way who's this Videl person?"

"She's a classmate of mine and the daughter of Hercule Satan. She's always helping the police stop the bad guys. And unlike her father, she's a really powerful fighter."

"Oh, I see. The way you put it Gohan it seems if you have a little crush on this girl."

Gohan's whole face turned as red as a tomato. "What! No way! I've only known her a day! What makes you think that I like her?!"

"Well, for starters, why is your whole face red?" "Because your embarrassing me." "Oh come now Gohan, something as small as that shouldn't make a person red as a strawberry. You don't have to be shy with me, you can tell me the truth."

"What's to tell except that she's a girl who I want to help fight crime. And the reason I need that device is because she's starting to suspect that I'm the Gold Fighter. She really is smart and if I'm not careful she'll find her suspicions are correct. Besides, she's my friend and I don't want her to get hurt."

"Well, okay. Whatever you say." Everyone of those word had a teasing tone to it.

Gohan let out a mental sigh, relieved that Bulma finally dropped the subject. I mean there was no way he could actually like Videl, could there?

"So, where's Vegeta? I thought I might train with him while I wait." Asked Gohan.

"Why, he's right here." Said Vegeta coming out of the shadows. "How long have you been standing there?" Asked Bulma.

"Long enough to know that Kakarot's brat has found himself a mate."

It took everything Gohan had to not blush. "If that were true Vegeta, then you would have heard the part about how she's just my friend."

"Oh is that a fact? Hmph." Said Vegeta and smiled.

"Right. So, how about we start training now. I don't want to get slow in case a new enemy shows up."

"Anxious to fight are we now? Is this really Gohan or his other side speaking?"

"Ha-ha. Very funny." Gohan smirked. "Maybe a little of both. Hard to tell?"

Bulma spoke, a little nervous, "Now, Gohan. Remember what happened last time? Your not supposed to let your saiyan side out. Not even a little bit."

"Don't worry Bulma. I'm in complete control. I'm just having a little fun with Vegeta over there."

"Well, if your positive about it."

"Alright then. Let's get started." Said Vegeta as he started to walk to the gravity room.

"I guess I'll see you later Bulma." Said Gohan.

"Be careful Gohan." He smiled. "I will be."

With that the young saiyan went after Vegeta.

Entering the GR, Gohan saw the prince waiting for him impatiently. "It's about time you showed up."

"Sorry but, I was talking to your wife." "I gathered as much. So, shall we begin?"

"Hold on a sec. Before we start, do you mind if I ask you a question?"

"Grr. I thought we came here to fight, not for some chit chat."

"Aw C'mon Vegeta. I'll be quick." "Grr. Oh alright what is it?" "Well, you know how me and Bulma were talking about how supposedly I like Videl, right?" Yes. What about it?"

"Well, I was wondering how you exactly know when you've found your true mate."

"Why do you care about something like that? Are you wondering because of that earthling?"

"Ugh. For the last time I don't like her like that! We're just friends! But, I was just wondering you know."

"Hmph. Either way I really don't really care about your silly emotions. But, if you really want to know, it's simple. When a saiyan finds his mate they form a kind of bond. So, when your near each other you'll be able to hear each others thoughts. And you'll be able to sense things about them that others can't."

"Oh, I see. Well thanks. Now, let's begin." Said Gohan getting into a fighting pose. "At last your ready to fight." Both of them charged each other, ready to give it there all.

After about two hours Gohan and Vegeta had finished training and Bulma had finished making Gohan the device that he had asked for.

"So, all I have to do is push this button?" Asked the young saiyan looking down at the watch on his arm. "That's right. Just push that red button and you'll automatically have your gi on." Responded Bulma.

Pressing the button, Gohan was no longer wearing the clothes he had earlier. Instead he had on the purple gi that Piccolo had given him.

"Wow. Thanks Bulma. This should really help in keeping my identity a secret."

"Your welcome."

Having gotten what he had come for, Gohan said his goodbyes and headed home.

"I'm going have to hurry up since I'm already late. I should have been home hours ago. Mom must be really mad."

Flying for a few moments, the saiyan noticed that some driver below was driving way to fast on a crowded street. "What is it with all these people? Can't they ever follow the rules?" Gohan quickly transformed into a super saiyan and flew down, standing right in front of the path of the car.

The two men in the car saw Gohan just in time and pushed the brakes before they run him over. Looking out the window, one of them yelled, "Hey you little punk! What are you doing standing in the middle of the road?!"

"The real question is, why are you guys driving so fast in the middle of the street. You could cause an accident because of your reckless driving." Responded Gohan.

Both men got out of the car. "What is this a lecture. Now you listen here kid. If you don't get out of the way you'll be sorry!" The saiyan didn't move an inch. "Alright that does it!" The tall muscular man ran forward, throwing punches at Gohan. But, of course he managed to dodge them easily.

"You missed me. Now, try this." Gohan ran forward and kicked the man in the face, sending him to the ground.

His other friend was surprised. "What! He's just a kid." "I guess you've learned your lesson. I suggest both of you be more careful on the road."

Grabbing his friend's legs, the other man dragged him into the car. He got in the car and drove off but, not before saying, "We'll be back! Nobody messes with the Red Shark Gang!"

Having taken care of that, Gohan flew off into the sky, leaving a stunned crowd behind.

"Really Gohan. One day with those kids and your already coming home late." Said Chichi. "And why on Earth are you wearing your gi?"

"Well, I went over to Bulma's house to train with Vegeta."

"I see. If you were at Bulma's you should have at least called me." "Yeah, sorry about that."

~ I don't think I should tell her about me fighting crime. She barley even let's me train. She'll most likely say that I'm just wasting my time and that I should let the police handle it. ~

"Gohan, wash up dinner will be ready soon." "Alright."

(A few days later).

The next day was a regular peaceful day. Nothing out of the ordinary was happening.

Gohan was seated in his English class copying down notes. He didn't have to copy them since he had already learned it when he was five years old. But, that way he wouldn't be bored. Erasa was asleep in her chair, obviously bored as well and Sharpener was looking at himself in the mirror, admiring how he looked.

Videl, on the other hand was glaring at Gohan. She had heard about how this kid with super powers stopped some crazy driver on the road just yesterday. And how when she went to stop these criminals that had hijacked a bus, Gohan had disappeared as well.

She was sure he was the Gold Fighter. Gohan matched the description perfectly. ~ He doesn't look like much of a fighter, but looks can be deceiving. And he doesn't talk much about his life which, makes it all the more mysterious. ~

A small beeping noise was heard, knocking Videl out of her thoughts.

"This is Videl. Go ahead captain." "Videl! A gang called the Red Shark Gang has kidnapped the mayor and is keeping him hostage! We need your help right away!" Said the chief of the policemen. "Okay. I'm on my way."

Getting up from the seat she ran down the stairs. As she headed for the door she asked the teacher, "May I be excused sir?" But, she didn't even wait for a reply. "Thank you."

~ She's going after those criminals and she might need my help like last time. I've got to help her! ~ Thought the young saiyan.

Gohan also got out of his seat and ran for the door. "And where do you think your going?" Asked his teacher. Stopping for a moment, Gohan replied, "Bathroom." And kept on running. Reaching the ceiling, Gohan changed to his gi and turned super saiyan.

"Now, if I can only sense where Videl went to." Searching for Videl's energy signature, Gohan found it. "Got it! She's close. Good."

Videl on the other hand had already arrived where the Red Shark Gang was.

"So, your the daughter of that pathetic Mr. Satan. Has he no shame, sending his little girl to do his dirty work?" It was the tall guy that had spoken. (You know, that guy who looks like Nappa from the episode Rescue Videl).

"My father's a busy man. Just think of me as a maid. I go wherever the filth is and clean it up. If you want to challenge my father, you'll have to get through me first." Said the confident Videl.

"I came here for your father. But if I have to defeat you first to get him out here, then so be it."

With that Videl threw a kick which the man managed to block easily. She threw more punches managing to punch the guy in the stomach. Videl kicked him in the face sending him backwards.

"Not bad for a little girl. You'll pay for that one." With quick speed he punched Videl in the face, sending her to the ground hard.

At that exact moment the Gold Fighter arrived. "You better back off if you know what's good for you." One of the men pointed their gun at Gohan. "Why don't you listen to your own advice before you get hurt." The saiyan easily enough bended the material.

"Who do you think you are little boy?" Asked the tall guy. "Just call me the Gold Fighter."

"Get out of here!" It was Videl who had spoken. ~ The last thing I need is for him to show me up. I'm the only number one fighter in this town. ~ "I don't need any of your help. I didn't even ask for it!" "But, Videl I'm only trying to" -. He was cut off. "You just want to get in my way. I already told you. I don't need help."

"Enough of this nonsense!" Yelled the tall guy. "Boys! Shut this kid up!" All of the three men started to fire at Gohan. He disappeared from the spot and quickly knocked each men out. Gohan made his way to the mayor and untied him.

"Now I've got you!" The tall man had Videl in a stranglehold and she didn't seem to be able to get free. Gohan ran forward. "Let her go!" Even as he said those words, with her elbow Videl hit him in the stomach, released from his grip. Then with a kick to the face, she rendered the man unconscious.

~ Wow. What an amazing girl. She decked him. She sure is a heck of a fighter. ~ Thought Gohan.

After the police arrested the bad guys and put them in the car, Gohan decided to get back to class. He had been gone for almost half and hour and he didn't want to be more late. He was in enough trouble as it was.

"Hey Gold Fighter!" It was Videl who had called Gohan. "Thank you for helping me." Gohan smiled. "It was my pleasure." "Just don't think this means I'm going to try to stop figuring out who you are. I have a pretty good hunch." "Hehehe. Is that so? Well, I guess I'll see you later."

With that Gohan flew quickly back to class.

When he got there English class had already ended but, he did still managed to get in trouble. He another one day of detention again.

After school, he and his friends were walking together.

"Okay. Spill it Videl. Is there something going on between you and you know who?" "Who are you talking about? You mean Gohan?" "Yes. Each time you leave he disappears."

"Really. Hey, Gohan!" When Videl turned around Gohan had once again vanished. "Now, where did he go?" Asked Videl.

"Look, your not suppose to worry when a nerd disappears. Besides Videl needs a strong man not some bookworm." "Videl doesn't need a strong man. She can kick your butt all by herself." Stated Erasa. "No she can't!" "Yes I can!" "Whatever."

All the while Gohan had heard everything. After they had walked far enough where they couldn't see him, Gohan blasted off into the sky and headed home.
