AN: Nope, you're not dreaming…nor are you high on anything, and yes you are sober. This is an actual update. I know! It's been ages. But once again I update on inspiration because if not my writing goes horrible.
THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO REVIEWED!
I'm really glad you guys like this! I didn't know I would get this much good feedback.
Anyways, without further delay, here goes!
Acting on instinct alone Gohan's arm shot out, palm facing the door. Under normal circumstances he would never have shown his…abilities…in front of anyone that wasn't his family but this was a – special situation.
For some reason unknown to Videl, whoever was on the other side couldn't get through, as if something was keeping the door closed. She would have pondered more on the subject if she wasn't pinned under the body of a certain male species. Being this close to him alone was sending alarms and sirens screaming in her body.
"Quick, Videl, in the closet!"
Her eyes snapped up at him. CLOSET? Was he serious?
"Hell no I'm-
"Right, for sure she'll check there," Gohan stuttered, frowning as his mind tried to formulate any possible way to get him out of this predicament, arm still outstretched. "Okay, under the bed."
Videl's mouth fell open. He must be crazy. "WHAT?"
But before Videl could protest properly, she found herself pushed off the mattress then shoved under the bed, her hair somehow made its way in her mouth, heart pounding against her ears.
"Goten! The door is stu- umph! Woops," Kiara stumbled in the room when the door unexpectedly gave way. She gathered herself together and looked up with a frown, her eyes landing on Gohan.
"Gohan? Honey, what happened to the door?"
"Good question," Videl mumbled quietly to herself. She could hear herself hyperventilating under the bed.
Our favorite demi-saiyan had his hand at the back of his head; one foot scratching the calves of the other, and a chuckle was seeping out from his mouth. "Ah, good question…I don't really…uhh..know."
A polished eyebrow rose. "Gohan, you're scratching your calves and giving me that goofy grin. I know you're hiding something now what is it?"
Without thinking about it Gohan stepped up to Kiara and planted a kiss on her lips. "I – uhh I missed you."
That's what he always did when he wanted to avoid a conversation and couldn't talk himself out of it. Maybe it would work this time.
She gave him a calculating look, and for a moment Gohan felt his pounding heart plummet to the floor, until his wife smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I missed you too boo."
Videl almost gagged on her hair.
"Did you hear that?"
"Ah! NO! I mean," Gohan discreetly kicked one of the throw pillows scattered on the floor towards Videl. "Probably just a rat…"
Kiara stared at him.
"Or a cat…choking on a hairball"
Her look became even more suspicious.
"Want to go take a bath?" Gohan sighed desperately. This lying thing was hard work.
"Not really-
"Together?"
Her eyes lit up like a bulb. "Okay! I'll go get the water ready."
(-)(-)
Somewhere up in the lookout where a certain Guardian of the Earth was enjoying his latest torture-Gohan scheme, chocked on his margarita and fell face first on the tiled floor. He was sure he had made Kiara smarter than this…..
(-)(-)
Gohan scratched his head naively at his wife's sudden excitement as she literally pranced to the bathroom. Women were so hard to understand.
As soon as she was out of the room, Videl pulled herself from underneath the bed, glaring at the hand Gohan offered her. "Okay, now I'm sore…"
"Well you have to get out of here before my wife sees you."
"Why? It's not like we did anything Gohan."
He stared at her, dumbfounded. "Are you insane Videl? You're in my bedroom. And what's worse, you were in my bed!" Realization suddenly hit him. "Wait a minute, what WERE you doing in my bed? And how'd you get in?"
A hot blush tainted Videl's cheeks. "Well I was trying to give you you're keys back! You dropped them when you left in a hurry that time when we…" she licked her lips. "…yeah I'll be going now."
Gohan grabbed her by the arm, a playful smirk on his lips. Ohh he looked so sexy…Videl slapped herself mentally.
"That doesn't explain how you ended in my bedroom, much less my bed Videl."
Time to get desperate. Her hands landed on her hips, striking her famous intimidating pose. No man, animal or thing has ever stood their ground against her intimidating pose. "I – got lost."
"You…got lost…" He smiled knowingly.
Videl would have beaten herself if Gohan wasn't standing in front of her. But she kept her chin high. "Yes, I got lost." Maybe if she said it with more assertion it wouldn't sound as stupid…
"Gohan! Sweetheart the water's ready!"
The taunting grin on his handsome face was completely wiped off. Oh yes, wife in the bathroom. Right…
"I'm – Be right there!" Gohan yelled back, quickly nudging Videl out the door. But Dende was against him that faithful day for just at the precise moment Goten stepped in the room, blocking the way unintentionally.
(-)(-)
Standing on the edge of the lookout was Dende, fingers pointed towards earth, laughing like a maniac. "Take that Gohan! Bwahahahhahah!"
Behind the deranged guardian was Mr. Popo, who sighed and rubbed his face with both hands. He shouldn't have given Dende that margarita. One would assume a green alien would have strong alcohol tolerance…
(-)(-)
"Hey bro do you mind if I…" Goten's eyes widened at the sight of this unknown attractive lady being pushed out of the room by his panicking older brother.
To make matters worse, Kiara stepped out of the washroom and into the bedroom, a towel wrapped around her body. "What's taking so long Go-
Gohan and Videl immediately went rigid like statues.
The room got painfully quiet.
They were caught.
Later that day, a certain green alien will be nailed to a cross and hung by Gohan's bedpost.
(-)(-)
Too bad the guardian of the earth hadn't heard the threat for he was passed out on the floor, drool dripping from his open mouth, an empty glass clutched in one hand. For a second Mr. Popo considered helping Dende out, but decided against it. He was getting tired of the annoying Namek anyway. Besides, he wouldn't want Gohan on his butt.
(-)(-)
Kiara's arms crossed on her chest, her eyes glinting with murderous intent. "Gohan… Who's you're friend over there?"
Gohan turned to Videl, who was already staring at him with wide eyes.
Okay, miracle, anytime now.
In a rare burst of quick thinking, Goten wrapped his arm around Videl's shoulder. "Oh sorry K, she's with me."
The two snapped their heads to the youngest demi-saiyan.
Gohan managed to speak first, chuckling nervously. "Goten, you little player you, another one huh?" He patted his brother on the back. He'd have to buy him something really expensive later on.
Videl glared at Gohan but decided this wasn't the time to argue. She wrapped her arm around Goten's waist, playing along. "Sorry, I was looking for the washroom."
Kiara, on the other hand, seemed unconvinced. "Really now. Hey Goten, what's her name? I said Goten, don't open your mouth Gohan."
Another awkward silence.
Goten laughed and scratched his head a minute later. "Come on Kiara, you know me. I can barely keep names with all the girls I've had."
"You're right Goten," Gohan quickly added. "Say, what may your name be miss?"
He extended his hand. Videl hesitated for a moment, then accepted gingerly. "Satan Videl."
"Satan Videl, sounds a lot like Devil doesn't it?"
Videl dug her nails into Gohan's hand, her eyes narrowing. "Yes, it does…what can I say, goes with my personality sometimes."
No kidding. He winced and pulled back, turning to his wife. "Ah, this is my…lovely wife, Son Kiara, I'm Son Gohan…"
Videl pretended to be interested.
"And I'm Son Goten," Goten cut in. "But you already knew that. Now, can we go eat I'm starving."
"Yes, let's go eat." Kiara made her way to her husband, wrapping her arms around him possessively then turning to Videl. As if she was dangling a piece of meat in front of her. "I imagine you'll be joining us Videl?"
Oh boy…
Gohan faltered. "Ahh, haha…she'd love to but she can't because-
"Actually," Videl cut in, her heated glare aimed directly at Kiara. "I'd love to. I suddenly have a big appetite for some…meat."
"I see. I myself am a vegetarian, except for some very rare delicacies." Kiara took Gohan's hand and kissed it, staring at her husband's face with a smile.
Videl surprised herself when a growl made its way to her throat. "I don't eat green…I guess that makes me a carnivore then."
Gohan laughed nervously. What the hell was going on? "We can order both, no problem."
"Great." Kiara turned to Videl with a big smile. "I can't wait to hear about how you and Goten met."
Goten grinned. "Sounds good. Gohan?"
Gohan swallowed the lump in his throat. "Y-yeah, uhh…swell."
That's it for now! Again, sorry for the long wait. I'm updating once inspiration hits so there's no telling when that will be, sorry. And I'm also working on a new fic, Dragonball again! I recently decided to watch DBZGT, against my better judgment, and I got really ticked off with how the story and the characters went. So, I'm writing my own!
Watch out for it!
