Hey guys! I'm back again with another chapter. Thank you so much for your feedback. I don't own DBZ.

Last time...

"Congrats guys! You are the only ones who made it all the way to the end. You all get As!" she cheered. "Now you'll be brought back to the palace where you can have a nice bath and get some real food. See you soon!"


Girl Talk...

888

"Where is my grandbaby?" a shriek arose from within the walls of the Ox Kingdom's Summer Palace. Gohan and his friends had barely disembarked the aircraft before the students who happened to be in the way of the Princess began to fly in random directions as pained groans filled the air. The lucky students who had managed to escape the Princess' wrath stood by, mouths agape, too afraid to afraid to even help their fallen classmates. As the group entered the foyer they were immediately accosted by the deranged Princess. She stared at them, a wild look in her eyes as she panted heavily from her previous exertion. Upon seeing her son, she somehow lifted him up by the collar and slammed him into the nearby wall. Hairline fractures appeared in the wall as the picture frame that hung nearby swung dangerously on its hook. "Where is she?" she screamed at him, her face inches away from her frightened child. He could practically feel the heat radiating from her. It was times like these that her rumoured demon blood made itself known. His jaw seemed locked so he settled for opening his eyes wide in horror.

"Who's that scary lady?" Kiara whispered in Videl's ear as she hid behind her absolutely terrified.

"Looks like she's gonna be your new grandma," Videl whispered back.

Kiara looked at her, horrified. "Ok. You guys don't have to be my new parents anymore. I'll take my chances with with minor services," she gulped, trying to make herself as small as possible behind Videl. It seemed even her whispers were picked up by the keen ears of the demon lady as as soon as she closed her mouth, the lady's eyes locked upon hers. She swallowed thickly. "I just want to let you guys know I love you even though I just met you. You can have my teddy bear and my room. Don't cry for me. I'll be with my mommy and daddy, ok?" she babbled quickly.

The demon lady dropped Gohan who slid to the floor, thanking his lucky stars that he was still breathing. However Kiara barely noticed. All she could focus on was the mad grin on the demon lady's face and the perfectly manicured nails that were aiming straight at her. The girl tried to run but her feet were frozen in fear. All she could do was close her eyes and wait for her end.

She was immediately swept to a tight hug which expelled all the air from her tiny body. Her ribs were compressed under the tight hold, making her wonder if she was really going to get her first broken bone the day she died. Then, at once her cheeks were on fire as the lady pinched them hard, somehow never loosening the grip she had on the little girl's body. Then her face was littered in kisses, red lipgloss patterns appearing on every possible area of her face. She barely registered the words about how cute she was coming out of the woman's mouth. All she wanted to do in that very moment was get a bath and have Gohan hold her until she fell asleep. Soon the lack of air was visible on her face, as her once rosy cheeks were taking on a bluish tinge.

It was then that Videl decided to step in. "Ahem," she coughed trying to get Chi Chi's attention. But it was to no avail. The woman didn't even notice her. Trying another tactic, she attempted to pry the little girl away, but the older woman's vice-like grip was too much for her. Then she tried another plan. She sent a death glare over at Gohan, who was kissing the floor like a man stuck at sea for ages. "Get your ass over this instant!" she yelled at her boyfriend, who immediately snapped to it. He wasn't the only one who did, as the minute she raised her voice, Chi Chi whirled around to face her.

"Who dared raise their voice to my baby?" she screeched, the Frying Pan of Doom appearing, ready to strike. However, as soon as she noticed it was Videl, her attitude did a complete 180 as she let go of the slightly blue Kiara and focused her attention on Videl.

Kiara gasped, allowing precious air to flood her oxygen-deprived lungs. Staggering over to Gohan, she wrapped her arms and legs tightly around his torso and laid her head on his shoulder. "You owe me," she grumbled in his ear, rubbing her sore cheeks. Gohan could only nod in response. For that he would give her whatever she asked for.

Videl, on the other hand had begun to sweat bullets. She was glad Gohan's mother had let go of Kiara but she was not willing to take her place! She glanced warily at the woman as she grabbed her wrist in a vice-like grip. "Oh! It's my future daughter-in-law! You are going to be an excellent wife for my Gohan! You already know how to keep him under control!" Chi Chi gushed. A broad grin graced the woman's young features as she thought of the possibilities. "Now come with me. We are going to get your measurements for your wedding dress. I'm sure you can fit into mine. You've got nice child-bearing hips…" she chatted as she dragged Videl by the hand to an unknown room.

Videl looked back at Gohan, her eyes open wide, desperation written all over face. "Help me," she mouthed at Gohan.

At that very moment, Gohan had a flashback to a certain incident at the pool. A smirk crossed his face. "Sorry babe," he said waving innocently at her as he gathered Kiara into his arms.

Videl sulked as she realized he was making no effort to come to her assistance. Payback's a bitch!

Videl nearly giggled in anticipation as she approached her bedroom door. She could hardly wait for a hot bath and a good night's sleep. To say her session with Chi Chi was torturous was a complete understatement. She really thought she could handle the older woman but what she didn't expect was that she would have reinforcements in the form of Bulma, Launch and Android 18. Videl was held down as they took her every possible measurement. She wouldn't be surprised if they could tell her the circumference of her big toe to three decimal places. Then, she just just had to open her mouth and say that she and Gohan were not getting married; at least not for a while. She shivered as she remembered how the temperature had nearly dropped ten degrees the moment she said it. The verbal thrashing she received in return was not something Videl wanted to relive. Thankfully she had managed to remedy the situation before she was finally allowed to retreat to her room.

She opened the door without knocking. Knowing Gohan would probably let her come in even if he was naked, she didn't bother hesitating. What she didn't expect to see was Erasa sitting cross-legged on her bed, an eager grin on her face.

Videl's shoulders sagged as she saw the look on her friend's face. That look said that she wasn't going to get a moment's rest until she told her all the dirty details. Noticing neither Kiara nor Gohan was in the room, she guessed the blonde girl had kicked them out for a few hours. "At least let me take a shower first," Videl responded to her friend's unspoken question. There would be no bath for her tonight but a shower would do well enough to remove the grime of the forest.

"You have ten minutes," Erasa responded, showing off her pearly whites.

Videl emerged from the bathroom without a minute to spare, dressed in a white T-shirt and a pair of shorts. Sitting on the bed next to Erasa, she asked, "So where did you banish them to?"

"He took all the kids for a bath in the East Wing. Kiara's rooming with 18's little girl tonight," Erasa answered dismissively. "Excellent father material by the way. Definitely one for the 'plus' column."

"Yeah," Videl responded with a fond smile. "I swear Kiara would only go to bed if he tucks her in."

Erasa squealed at the far-away look in Videl's eyes. The poor girl was absolutely smitten! "You really love him, don't you?" she asked, already knowing the answer. What she didn't expect was Videl's unhesitant affirmation. She had expected the girl to put up some resistance. It was amazing that a week ago she was pressed to say that she had any feelings for him at all and now she was openly admitting her love for him. Well, that's the wilderness for you! "Wow," Erasa said in awe. "Who are you and what have you done with bad-ass Videl Satan?"

Videl snapped out of her daze and punched Erasa lightly in the shoulder. "I'm still right here and don't you ever forget it!" she retorted with a mock glare.

Erasa merely giggled. "So tell me that you've at least snuck a peak at the goods by now," she teased.

Videl blushed lightly. "On more than one occasion," she admitted in a low tone. Imagining Gohan's nude frame made her heart race.

Erasa's clear blue eyes opened wide in astonishment. She expected them to at least get to second base but a homerun was way off her radar. A devious smile graced her lips as she asked, "So the Virgin Videl is no longer pure. Will he have to make an honest woman out of you?"

Videl shook her head vehemently. "No!" she nearly yelled, blushing to the roots of her hair. "We haven't done anything. It's just that Gohan has no modestly whatsoever!"

Erasa leaned forward on her elbows, practically panting for the bits of gossip Videl was dishing out. Not that she'd tell anyone. It was just exciting that Videl was the one talking about a new boyfriend for once. "Come on girl. Dish out the details!" she gushed.

Videl blushed again at the memory of Gohans body. "Let's just say it's proportional to his height," she answered.

Erasa's eyes sparkled with glee. She had had a feeling. "Is he a good kisser?" she asked finally.

Videl looked down bashfully. "Yeah, he's pretty amazing," she responded shyly, giving an uncharacteristically girly giggle.

Erasa squealed. Using her index finger, she pretended to write something on her palm and handed the imaginary slip to Videl. "Well, my prescription is to hold on tight and never let that boy go," she said with a smile. "You probably won't find another one like him."

Videl smiled to herself, thinking back on Gohan's heritage and history. You've got no idea…

Erasa and Videl had spent just about two hours talking. Videl sighed happily as her blonde friend finally left for her room. It was a girl-talk long overdue. It was weird for her to be actually asking Erasa for advice about boys. Usually Erasa was the one spouting news about her new boyfriend while Videl sat listening. It was kind of nice that they both had something to talk about this time.

Videl had barely laid her head on her pillow before a knock sounded at their door. Opening the door, she glared when she saw Gohan in the doorway. She still hadn't forgiven him for abandoning her earlier. He gave her a large grin. "Is it safe to come in?" he asked.

Videl's scowl only deepened at his content expression. "Depends. Do you want to die in your sleep?" she asked shortly, folding her arms.

Gohan gave her an even larger grin and ruffled her hair. "I'll take my chances," he replied smugly, pushing past her easily. Gohan wasted no time stripping down, leaving a trail of clothes as he headed to the bathroom.

Videl could only stare at his retreating back. She stomped her foot on the ground in frustration. She hated the fact that he could probably immobilize her with his pinky. He could have at least played along and pretended she could land a hit on him. Rolling her eyes in contempt at the empty room, Videl turned off the lights, tucked herself into bed and tried to go to sleep. However, just as she was about to drift off, she felt the bed sink down under the weight of someone. She didn't have to open her eyes to know it was Gohan.

"I want my goodnight kiss," he whined like a petulant child.

Determined to ignore him, she didn't respond. Did he really think he was going to get a kiss after practically tossing her to the wolves? Gohan, however, was not one to give up easily. He began poking her in the ribs, drawing closer to the ticklish spot on her ribs. Stubborn, Videl fought hard to contain the giggles that threatened to burst forth from her lips with every poke. Soon her face was as red as a cherry due to her efforts and a giggle escaped. Like a cracked dam, that one giggle was the first of many that erupted from her body and soon she was struggling to breathe as Gohan began openly tickling her.

"Gohan! Stop!" she choked out between peals of laughter.

"I want my kiss," Gohan responded, climbing on top of her so that he straddled her hips. He nuzzled her neck, unfazed by her thrashing.

Eventually, Videl could take no more. "Fine!" she surrendered, taking a few precious breaths as he ceased his actions.

Gohan leaned in and pressed his lips against hers. He wasted no time slipping his tongue between her lips, hungrily taking in her essence. No matter how often he kissed her, each time felt like the first. Her taste was like a drug and he felt like he had to have a taste everyday for the rest of his life. Videl's eyes slipped shut as she pulled him closer to her by the back of his head. She was tempted to bite his tongue out of spite but it was too busy doing some delicious things to her mouth. Gohan's kisses made her forget that she was ever mad him. She moaned as she felt his hands trail down her sides and slip under her tank top. His strong fingers massaged the flesh of her flat stomach and grazed the undersides of her breasts, sparking a flame deep within her belly. Her left hand left the short hairs at the base of his skull for his toned torso. Gohan's breath hitched as her finger trailed lightly down his tight abs before hooking a finger in the waistband of his black boxers, pulling it down slowly, before letting it snap back into place.

He groaned as he pulled away from her. "Tease," he accused against her lips.

Videl raised an eyebrow as raised her leg so that her thigh was stroking his hardening member through his underwear. "Oh, sweetie. You haven't even begun to see me tease," she whispered seductively against his lips. "Goodnight love," she said, tossing his unsuspecting body off the bed and rolled over, leaving Gohan confused and aroused.

Gohan sat up, rubbing his head as he looked down at his tented boxers. He groaned in frustration, flinging his head back against Videl's mattress. He sat there for a moment, hoping his arousal would ebb but to no avail. Looks like its back to the shower for me. As his member twitched he added, 'Cold this time…'
