Gohan's Furry Problem Ch 4

A/N-  It's still the same day, I'll tell you when the day changes.

"Talking"

'Thoughts'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Gohan!" yelled Videl, running down the long hallway towards Gohan who was at his locker.

"Hey Videl, you ready to go?" Asked Gohan shutting his locker, after grabbing his shoes.

"Yep, let's get to it, I wanna see where you live." said Videl, running up to walk beside Gohan.

"You sure you don't wanna wait a day, your arm must be sore." Gohan asked tentatively, looking at Videl's wrapped arm.

"I'll be fine Gohan." She said exasperated. "Look, how bout this, I'll tell you when I start to feel sore, okay?" Videl suggested looking expectantly at Gohan.

'Ugh, she can be as mean as Vegeta, yet do puppy dog eyes as good as Goten.' Shaking his head with a sigh, he walked towards the stairs to the roof.

"Sure Videl, but you better tell me or else...I'll think of some thing to 'or else you' with when we get there." replied Gohan as he entered the top of the building.

Videl just rolled her eyes and proceeded to take out her capsuled jet. However, she was stopped by a callused hand.

"No need, we'll get to my house ten times faster if I just fly us." Gohan said, looking at Videl with a smile.

"S..Sure." stuttered a flustered Videl. Gohan grabbed her backpack and put it on his back with his, picked her up into his arms, jumped off the building and sped off towards Mt. Paozu.

He looked down at his burden, who was currently burying her head into his chest and clinging to his form for dear life, and chuckled.

"Videl I told you I'm not gonna drop you."

"Yeah, but you still dropped one time, so I'm gonna stick to my petty fear until I can fly." came her muffled reply.

"Sorry." Gohan whispered, looking straight ahead.

"It's okay, I know now you couldn't help it with your tail and all." she muttered into his shirt.

"Well, only a couple more minutes till we get there, so hang on a little bit longer" he said, speeding up his flight.

As promised a couple minutes later, Gohan descended onto his yard next to the river. He set Videl down on her feet and would have walked her to the house if it hadn't been for a certain chibi.

The air was knocked out of Gohan's lungs as Goten jumped him.

"Gohan! I was so bored, Mom made me do studies! Can we go play, please!" pleaded Goten, still oblivious to Videl's presence.

Goten gave Gohan the puppy dog eyes and pouted. Videl watched the exchange in amusement because she could tell that Gohan was going to cave any second.

"Okay Goten, but I gotta teach Videl how to fly, you wanna learn too?" asked Gohan.

"Videl?" questioned Goten. Goten jumped off of Gohan, turned around and took notice of Videl.

"Oh, is she your girlfriend Gohan?" asked Goten.

"No, its not like that, sh..she's just a friend Goten, gah... go find mom and tell her we have a guest." demanded a flushed Gohan, who didn't notice Videl's cherry red face.

Goten shrugged and went off into the house yelling for Chichi the whole way.

"Sorry about that, he's around my mom too much, just be prepared for the worst when we go inside." cautioned Gohan, walking up to the front door.

"Okay." she answered, walking through the door as Gohan held it open for her.

The house was small, but cozy, the living room had a couch and coffee table, the kitchen was visible, along with the dining room to the right of the house. Videl could see stairs leading up to what she assumed were the bedrooms. Videl followed Gohan to the kitchen where a black haired woman was standing over the stove stirring something in a pot.

"Hey Mom, did Goten tell you we have a guest?"

Chichi turned around an took in Videl's face.. She walked over to Videl, circled her, while scrutinizing her, much to Gohan and Videl's embarrassment. She stopped right in front of Videl, smiled and held out her hand.

"Hi, I'm Son Chichi, nice to meet you..." Videl took her hand and shook it.

"Sorry, I'm Videl, Satan Videl, nice to meet you."

"Oh, you're the girl Gohan told me about who got injured, how are you by the way?" Chichi asked in a concerned voice.

"Oh I'm fine, it was just a little scratch it..."

"Little scratch! Yeah right! It was a gash that needed stitches." exclaimed Gohan.

"Well, it's not my fault, I can't dodge bullets like you can."

"Well, you shouldn't have even went in that bank, they had bombs for Kami's sake!"

"Now Gohan, don't use your friends name as a swear." scolded Chichi, who went back to cooking, not in the least bit surprised that Videl knew Gohan's secret.

"Sorry." Gohan mumbled.

"So can we go out and you teach me how to fly."

"Fine, Mom we'll be back later, kay? Oh and I'm taking Goten."

"That's fine, just be back around sunset."

Gohan walked out the door with Videl in tow.

"Come on Goten lets go find a field to practice in." yelled Gohan who knew that the chibi demon could hear.

"I don't know why you think your mom is worse, she didn't do anything bad." said Videl.

"Hmmm, usually she does, wonder why she didn't this time." mused Gohan.

"GOHAN! I WANT SOME GRANDBABIES!" yelled Chichi from the window.

Gohan tripped over his own feet and fell...hard, his face buried in the dirt, Videl blushed and glared at the woman. Goten rolled around the ground laughing at Gohan's predicament.

After about 45 minutes of walking, they came upon a clearing in the upper part of the mountains.

"Well, guess this is as good a place as any to practice." said Gohan, who sat down cross legged on the grass, motioning for Goten and Videl to do the same.

"Okay, the concept of flying is very simple, you concentrate your Ki to the bottom of you feet, push your Ki outward, and that lifts you up into the air." explained Gohan.

"Ummm, Gohan, what's Ki?" asked Videl

"You don't know what Ki is? Who taught you how to fight?" asked a surprised Gohan.

"Well, my dad taught me the basics, the rest I taught myself on my own."

'Mmmm...this might take longer than I thought.'

"Okay, well, guess I need to teach you on Ki, Goten, since you already know everything there is to know on Ki, go ahead and practice on your own, you know the concept right?"

"Yeah, I come to you if I need any help." Goten walked a little farther away and started practicing.

Gohan turned back to Videl and started his lesson.

"Ki is the life energy that is inside every being, any creature that lives uses Ki in every day life, whether you are walking, swimming or in our case fighting. Same goes for any animal as well.

"But, why can't you see it?" asked Videl.

"Oh you can, you just have to know how to draw it out, like this. "

Gohan held his hand out and focused his energy into a ball of ki in the center of his palm.

"This is Ki, when you know how to properly use it, you can use the Ki to make your own attacks, it's not just for flying." he slowly let the energy dissipate.

"That looks a lot like the stuff those fighters used at the cell games." mused Videl.

"My dad always said it was just tricks that the fighters were using."said Videl.

"Well, a lot of the fighters I know can use Ki, so maybe he just didn't know what it was." suggested Gohan, hoping she wouldn't notice his Golden hair and the 'Delivery Boy' from the cell games looked the same.

"Hmmm, maybe." she said, still having that cop look in her eye.

"Okay, why don't you try to find your Ki. To unlock it, you need to look deep inside until you can feel it and draw it out. Ki is located in the center of your being. Concentrate really hard and search." Gohan said.

"How will I know when I've found it?"

"Oh you'll know, trust me."answered Gohan.

Videl took a deep breath and began meditating. Gohan left Videl to meditate and walked over to see how Goten was coming along.

"Hey squirt, how yah doing so far?"

"Well, I can lift myself off the ground, I just can't stay up." said Goten, clearly frustrated that he couldn't stay up in the air.

"Well, you really have to concentrate, I bet you get excited when your up there don't yah?" Goten just nodded with a smile.

"Well, that's where your having trouble, you have to stay concentrated until it becomes second nature to stay up, that's what I had to do."

"Humph, this is hard." Goten said.

"Ah, Don't worry, if you're the saiyan I know you are, it wont take you long to get it down." said Gohan, watching his little brother struggle to concentrate

"Come on, I'll practice with you for a while." helping Goten, Gohan flew up and motioned for Goten to do the same.

An hour or two later, Gohan returned with a tired Goten on his back to see Videl still hadn't moved from her meditative state. Seeing that it was almost sunset he walked over to tell her they could finish training tomorrow. Just as he was about to touch her shoulder he felt a massive surge of Ki from the sky. Looking up into the sky he couldn't see where it was coming from.

'That Ki is way to strong, it's not any of the others Ki, it's different, more oppressive.'

"Gohan, who is it, it's not anyone I know." asked Goten.

"I don't know, know doubt it's coming from space though, and everyone else probably feels it too. Let's get Videl and go to Bulma's, that's probably where everyone is heading now." said Gohan in a hard voice.

After telling Videl what was happening, Gohan scooped her up into his arms and flew towards the scientist's house.

A/n - Muahahahaha...cliffy...well, tell me what yah think, I'll update as soon as I can. See yah later!
