' ' - Means thinking

******

Gohan watched in slow motion as Videl took that one step that could take her life. What should he do? If he jumped after her, then she would suspect something!

'But I can't let some damn secret take a life? Maybe if I wait till she'll out... No!'

Gohan looked around his area. He didn't want anyone seeing him. He couldn't waste any time, he had to go after Videl or she would die!

He wasted no time and jumped. He searched for any signs of her in the dark water, swimming around, not even holding his breath. He finally saw a limp figure in the water; finally, he saw a limp figure floating in the dim light of the surface water. Ms. Saten! His heart raced as he covered the distance with a few strokes hoping and at the same time fearing to see her face, to confirm the horrible truth.

He grabbed onto her.... she was still breathing. Her chest was still going up and down. She had been underwater for a while.... to long for his taste. How in the world was this girl still breathing?

He immediantly started swimming upwards.

When he finally reached the shore. He put her body on the land and slowly flied up and landed on the ground. He took a deep breath and looked at his clothes. Soaked Damn. Guess it was worth it if he saved a life. Now he had to tend to Ms. Satan.

He turned to Videl... He put his head to her chest. He heard her heart beating just fine.

"Man, I swear. I don't think I needed to jump so soon. She would have survived for sometime." He started stroking her cheek. She was beautiful. Even while she was...um...sleeping?

He continue stroking her cheek, her skin was so soft.

He pulled his hand away when she started fidgeting. "Looks like the princess is waking up."

Slowly her blue orbs opened. Her expression seemed a bit loss, like a little puppy. Suddenly then realization came to her. She jerked up abruptly and touched her face.

"Am I dead?"

"No."

"You saved me.

"Yup!" He answered joyously. Videl's veins started popping out from her forehead. "You? You saved me?!"

Gohan soon started scooting away.

"Um...I have a feeling you aren't very grateful"

"I jumped on purpose, you bastard. And you just had to come and try to play hero, huh?!" She shouted, tears coming down.

He arched an eyebrow.

"You're crying."

"You asshole! Of course I'm crying! I cry when I get angry. And boy, Mr. Son, I am very angry right now. I just want to..." she hissed through clenched teeth. Suddenly, her hands sneaked around his neck and squeezed tightly, cutting off his air supply.

Gohan eyes went wide. This...this... this girl was actually choking him! He couldn't breath. What was this girl? Was she even human? He reached to her murderous hands and pulled them from his neck, using his hidden strength.

"Come on, calm down. I was just trying to do the right thing!"

"You idiot! Why else would I have jumped into the water?"

"Thought you slipped."

She let out a frustrated grunt and hit him at his upper arm. "You ass!"

"Now Ms. Satan, I don't see why you have to---"

"Shut up!" Videl sighed. Gohan looked at her. She looked like she just gave up. What else was there to say? She wanted to die and he stopped her.

"Look, I'm sorry" Gohan apologized.

She rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I guess you were trying to be a hero...." she muttered. He watched as she got up. She started looking around.

"I think I'm going to have to need a lift."

"Um, why don't you use the vehicle that brought you here?"

"Probably stolen."

"Oh, why would you leave it?" He questioned. He saw her clench her fist. Bad question.

"I was just about to commit suicide so I left it so people who needed could get it! What you think I could still drive it while I'm dead"

"Well, you aren't dead now."

She sighed. "I wasn't expecting to drive it. I could end it now, but you would stop me."

Gohan shrugged. '"You honestly think I would let you just go jump into the water and kill yourself and I just go walking away like I just got a million yen?

"I could give you a million yen."

Gohan arched an eyebrow. "No thanks, I stick to my morals.

"So, I expect you to drive me home. Just watch out for Dad. I'm a grown woman and he still doesn't want me 'round boys." Videl said rolling her eyes.

"At least ya know he loves you!" Gohan suggested.

"Yeah, but a little too much for my liking" Videl sighed. "Well, let's go Mr. Son."

************

Videl sighed to herself as they reach the parking lot. Well a lot had happened now. She just tried to commit suicide and some guy she met a few hours ago saved her. Her car is was long gone, because she checked. Her dad is was probably going to go bonkers when he sees her approaching the house in a guy's car late at night. Gosh! Why the hell did this man have to save her? She could have been at peace right now! God Damn! If only she could go back...then she would be happy. She had to go back.

She turned to Gohan. He is pretty cute. Not ugly, not at all.

'Must have a girlfriend.'

She suddenly felt rally angry at the thought of him having a girlfriend. Wasn't she pretty enough? She mentally slapped her forehead. She shook her head and turned back to the thoughts of her plan. God she wanted to die! Why hadn't he let her die? Why in Kami's name did any one want her alive? She didn't want to be alive! She wanted to be left alone, where no one would bother her. An eternal sleep she wanted!

She turned to Gohan. He was now in her face. "Huh?...Get out of my face"

He sighed. "Ms.Satan, I said we reached my car."

"Oh, Ok" Videl nodded...."Um...which one?"

There were a couple of black cars here, and some red cars. Why were there cars parked in the middle of the night? Why was Mr. Son here in the middle of the night?

"That one," he pointed to a Black Ferrari.

"Nice" Videl commented.

"Thanks."

They stood there for a moment before Videl lost it. "Um, excuse me. But are we here to admire your car, or for me to get in it and for you to drive it and get me home?"

"Yeah, but..." Gohan started.

"What?"

"My car...it's a Ferrari! I mean, we're soaking wet and it'll-"

So you're telling me, you would care more about your car then us getting sick because we just jumped into water!?"

She watched as he soon started scratching his head, surprised that she found it...attractive. He soon clicked his remote, unlocking the car. He was about to open the door for her when she stopped him.

"Um, I can open the door myself," Videl sighed as she got into the car and stared straight ahead.

Gohan finally got in and started the car. Once on the road, he tried to start a conversation.

"So..."

"What were you doing in the park?"

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. What were you doing in the park in the middle of the night?"

"Um.... do you have to ask such...um... personal---"

"Personal what? Questions? Well, excuse me. I find unusual a man of your status would be found in the public park, middle of the night instead of being home with your beautiful girlfriend."

"Heh heh, I don't have a girlfriend..." Gohan smiled sheepishly.

"Oh...well...at least you have a home!"

"Well, I like going to the park, especially at night. It's a place where I can think, Go away from all the pain, suffers, and any other hard work. And just to think and be myself. At night is the best because the animals are there and no people...the last thing I need when I'm there."

"Oh, I see. And I just happened to be there, right Mr. Son?"

"Yep, but I'm glad I decided to go today, though it's not the usual day I come here."

"Hmmm..."

"...Why did you save me?"

Gohan turned to Videl; her eyes were glistening with tears.

"What?"

He heard a stifled sob, "I didn't want to be alive. I want to be dead..."

"I, I was trying to save you."

"Baka! You didn't save me! God! I have just so much problems!"

"Maybe, you should try and visit a therapist. Talk to some one"

She shook her head; she eyes looking as if she was far away. Then he noticed she was shivering. She was wet and the AC was on. He reached toward the control and turn it to warm.

"Ms. Satan, just why do you want to die so much? Can't you just wait till your time comes?"

"If you lived me life, you would be death is the only way out. Sometimes I feel when I'm sleeping you die. I don't want to wake up I want to die. I don't want to go through the same everyday problems. I hate my life. My mother's dead, my dad is some snot head. My ex-boyfriend is stalking me so much more. So much more. I just can't take it anymore!"

"Ms.Satan I'm---"

He stopped as she started shaking uncontrollably. Furiously, and this time he knew she wasn't shaking because she was cold.

"Don't! Don't! Don't say that, don't you ever say that."

"But---"

"How dare you say sorry for something you have no clue about? How I despise the words 'I'm sorry'. I've heard them all my life. They are empty words. "

Gohan nodded. "Ms. Satan, again I advise why don't you-"

"Don't tell me to visit a shrink!" Videl shrieked, tears coming down her puffy cheeks.

"Ms.Satan-"

"Look, just back off! God! Take me home!"

Videl then started showing Gohan the directions, beside that the rest of the ride was quiet.

****

When they finally arrived at the house, the lights were on. Gohan turned to Videl. She seemed to sigh with annoyance.

"Well, we're here."

"Yep."

"Thank you for the ride home, Mr. Son. That was very generous of you."

"Hey, no problem. Ms. Satan, I know this may seem out of place. But, please don't attempt to kill yourself again."

"I can't say that. I'm unpredictable. One minute I'm fine, the next I'm a nervous wreck. No, I can't say that to anyone."

"Then please visit someone to let loose all of your frustrations."

"Look, Mr. Son, I just don't know."

Gohan sighed. " Alright then, have a good night."

Videl nodded and got out of the car. He stayed there just to make sure she went inside safe. But before she could open the doors, the man he had seen earlier stepped out. Gohan saw her eyes twitch with annoyance. The man seemed to be yelling at her, but he couldn't make out the words.

"Definitely her Dad."

He held his breath as the man turned to where his car was. Guessing her dad finally realizing Gohan was a male he exploded. He bet that if he could hear what that man was saying, he was cursing one hundred curses a second.

He could even hear the man. She held back a laugh as she ran a hand over her face. She looked at Gohan and gave him a small smile and a wave. He waved back and press the pedal

****

Videl covered her ears as her Dad went on and on. Why couldn't he shut up? So what, she appeared with a guy? Did that mean they were doing something?

"Dad! Nothing happen! He just dropped me off."

"Why did he need to drop you off? You got your own car!"

"Dad, it got stolen!"

"What?! How?!"

Videl clenched her fist. This is it, she wasn't going to hold back.

"Dad! Just back off! My god! Why do you even care now? I know you're only getting along with me because of my money! God! Why are you always doing this to me! Leave me alone! I'm a GROWN woman! I do not need some buff, old, think he know it all with a fake Afro to tell me what to freakin' do!"

Hercule just stood there looking at Videl. What just happened here?

Videl pondered on what she should say. She just told her Dad how she felt. She wondered if she should say more.

"Videl, don't you ever talk to me like that!" Hercule growled softly.

"What! .... What!! You.... god! I can't even call you a name. How can you? How can you tell me to respect you when no one respects me!! Why do I have to be a chairman of some dumb company? Why do I have to have a dead mother? Why do I have to get a stalker! Gosh!"

"Videl, go upstairs." Hercule said softly.

"Oh! Ho-ho! Daddy taking action! Damn it, Dad! Why do you have to be this way?!"

Hercule slowly started walking away, Videl was not in the state of mine to think.

Videl stood there looking at where Hercule used to stand. She looked down on herself. Shit. She had wet clothes on still. She better go change....

*****

Videl yawned on her desk, as employers started loading the papers on her desk. Kami Damn. She was very sleepy.

'I guess from getting home so late and waking up early must have not gotten me enough rest'

She rubbed her eyes, hoping it would wake her up. She looked up; everything was so blurry, trying to keep her eyes open. She slowly closed her eyes as her head, her forehead hitting the desk.

"Ow," she groaned. She narrowed her eyes as a cheery secretary walked in. The secretary smiled a sunny smile, which quickly disappeared when she looked down at Videl.

"Um, Ms. Satan...how are you doing?" She asked nervously. Videl growled a reply and soon started working. The secretary let out a sigh.

The pencil tip broke. Videl bit her lip. Now she had a bad mood.

"Um, Ms. Satan. Did you want me to call Ms. Briefs, to confirm the plans?"

"No..No, I'll do it." Videl yawned.. The woman nodded and walked out of the room. Videl reach to her phone. She opened her address book and looked for the number and dialed it.

"Hello?" A woman voice was heard, "Ms. Briefs?' Videl asked uncertain, this could be Mrs. Briefs or someone else.

"No, this is her mother. Who's this?"

"This is Videl Satan, of Satan Corps, to confirm plans."

"Okey Dokey, wait juuust a minute."

Videl nodded and realizes she couldn't see her. "Yes m'am."

She heard shuffling and voices in the background.. She sighed. Why did she have to wait so long to call?

"Hello, Ms. Satan?"

"Yes, Ms.Briefs."

"Ah, yes. You're calling to confirm plans, right?"

"Yes."

*********

Videl walked out of her office with a folder in her hand. She didn't feel as sleepy as before after talking to Ms. Briefs, from what she could tell she was actually pretty nice. Actually got her to feel more awake, alert. Mrs. Brief's attitude cheered her up all the way for another day of crap.

She dropped the folder on a man's desk. "Finish this up, I want it by tomorrow.

The man nodded and glanced at it and put it aside, and went back to what he was doing.

She then stopped by the secretary's desk. "Listen, I want you to call Joe's Catering Service, and here's a list of what food and the day. They already know anything else needed to know. Just call to confirm, go it?"

She nodded, and Videl smiled. "Listen, sorry for earlier. Didn't feel well."

"Perfectly understandable. Your job requires time and you don't get as much sleep as the rest of us."

Videl nodded. "Thank you for understanding."

" Well, see you later "

She then turn to where the elevator was. The doors were just about to close, she ran.

"Wait! Leave it open for me!"

A man that was in the elevator stepped between the two doors, separating them. Videl walked in. "Thank you".

The man nodded and went to his own little corner. Videl pressed the button for the base floor and waited in the other corner. 'Gee, all the work I have to do today. It's going to take a load. Not to mention, the daily stress of just Dad. And I'm going to have to get another car to replace---'

Videl was snapped out of her thoughts when the man suddenly grabbed her roughly and held her. He pressed the stop button.

"I have to take you to the boss, Ms. Satan."

"What? Get off me you creep!!"

"Heh Heh, sorry can't do that."

"Wha----"

Videl then felt an object hitting her head. She slumped against the man, who caught her but had to lean down. The last thing she heard was the man laughing...
