Chapter 1:

The sky was dark and dreary. In a normal town sat a normal diner. Inside were tables and a few people. At one table, a girl with long dark hair, tied back in a loose ponytail, sat drinking a soda, waiting on her guest. She looked out the window and shuddered. Eighteen months ago on a day like today, she had gone through hell, and she was still recovering from that day.

It had been over a year since they had last seen each other, but as Greed walked up to the café table, Katie thought he looked… sick. Greed had bags under his eyes. Katie looked away for a moment, realizing he was still heartbroken over Insanity. It made her remember her own broken heart for Trunks.

"Hey Katie. Been a while." He said, taking a seat beside her. She nodded to him, looking back up at him.

"You look awful. Then again, I probably don't look too good myself."

"Katie, stop the damn idle chat." Greed said, slamming his fist on the table, cracking the wood. Katie flinched, caught off guard, "What is it you want?" Greed was extremely irritable lately, mostly from lack of sleep.

"Fine, I'll get to the point." She said, sitting straight up in her seat, "How well do you understand how we resurrect people where I come from?"

"You steal a dragon's balls and make wishes." He said. Katie almost laughed at the rude and blunt remark.

"We collect the seven Dragonballs and are allowed two wishes, yes." She said, sipping her soda. This subject was making her throat dry up on her, "Six months after the… uh… incident, I found the last Dragonball and made my wish."

"Great, glad you got your boy toy back." Greed sneered. Katie bit back a sob, taking another sip from her drink.

"I didn't." she said, looking down. That gained Greed's attention.

"You… you didn't?"

"I made my wish. I asked for him to restore Insanity and Trunks."

"Oh…"

"He told me he couldn't do it. I thought… Insanity was the reason the wish didn't work, so I reworded it to restore Trunks, but… he couldn't."

"Why? How could this happen?"

"I didn't know, so I asked. Shenron said they were both lost between dimensions because of the manner in which they died."

"That damn town…" Greed growled low in this throat.

"Right." Katie bit back another sob, "So in the year since then, I've searched, but… I can only travel on one level of hell."

"So, are you wanting my help? Is that it?"

"Yes." Katie swallowed hard, "If we go in together, we can find both of them and come home together. None of my friends know about this but you. If I told them about this, they'd try to stop me. But I can't go on without Trunks. He was my soul mate."

Greed was silent, staring out the window. Rain started to fall, and some of the unlucky people caught in the rain started running for cover. Greed looked back at Katie, and noticed a tear slid down her face from each eye. She wiped them away quickly.

"Just as Insanity was mine…" he looked out the window again, then back at Katie, "So, what do we have to do?"

"Our first stop is Kami's Lookout."
