Videl landed swiftly, tucking in her angel wings quickly. She wore a worried look on her face, and had grown out her hair to her elbows. It was in one main braid, with four falling by her face with golden beads clipped on them. In her ears were long, dangling lavender jade earrings. She wore a loose flowing toga, tied with purple strap, with four golden tassels to show her high ranking. The tenth highest-ranking angel in heaven, right under the rank of ninth, which was held by Gohan. They had been working together in this place for two years, and decided they wanted to be angels. They quickly worked their way up, from 200,904,534th to nearly the top in command. Videl loved her new job, and felt like she was actually making a difference, not like on Earth. It was almost funny how quickly they waltzed through the ranks, together, almost as much as seven times a day. Most of the angels were complacent and simply relaxing, while the two new angels seemed to do nothing but help others, keep the peace, and maintain stability. It was all they could do to just not be bored, just trying to pass time until their loved ones would join them.
Briskly she walked through the long field of silver grass with a deep pink sky, blotched with orange every so often. The trees were stark white and leaf-less, with many spindly branches reaching out. Videl had recently been assigned a little five-year-old girl to be her guardian angel. Right now, she had just come back from helping little Carissa evade a potentially morally damaging situation, and found Gohan was not waiting in their usual spot under the white willow tree right outside of headquarters. Right now, that was the current thought on mind as she weaved through all of the spots that he could have gotten away to. He wasn't at crystal fountain, Platinum Park, or the luncheon area (which actually surprised her, often Gohan would be there if she coulnd't find him anywhere else). This left only one area he could possibly be, after checking in between most of these main areas. He wasn't on shift now (she should know, she had memorized his schedule), so he had to be...
Videl stopped, feeling tears prick at the edges of her eyes. "Gohan..."
Standing on a large, marble platform, the tall saiya-angel jolted out of his relaxed position and looked back. He had gotten slightly taller, wearing a snowy white robe, tied off with a green strap, four golden and one white tassel hanging off of it. Along the neckline of the robe, there were threaded golden leaf designs, also sewn into the cuffs around his hands. A large garnet amulet was drawn around his neck with a gold chain, with turquoise in beads up it. A golden oriental headband he wore, holding back all but two spikes of his unruly onyx hair.
He forced a quick smile. "Hey Videl. Wasn't expecting you to get off of assignment so early..." His weak attempt at shrugging things off did nothing to deter the worried expression on Videl's face. Her only reply was walking up next to him.
"Why do you put yourself through this crap...?" Her voice was tired and mournful, as she looked at the object that was previously occupying Gohan. He made no attempt to defend himself this time. What he was looking into was an object almost like a birdbath, except there was a rippling mercury- like substance in it. "They'll be here before you know it, you big lug!" She punched him lightly on the arm, trying to brighten the mood. She didn't.
"..." Gohan turned away from her, guilt pouring out of his eyes. "I'm sorry, I just... I wonder how they're doing... Without me..."
"Does it really make you feel better? To see them cry?" She asked through tears, and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, in a tight hug. "To see them suffer?"
Gohan lowered his head, not responding to her gesture of affection. He could only mull over the possibilities. "I wish to see them finally get better."
"That could take years."
"I know."
"Then why?"
"Videl..." A sinking feeling entered his heart. It was an obsession; he wanted desperately to be there with his family, his family that he left so suddenly two years ago. He wanted to see Gochi grow up. He wanted to see Goten get married. He wanted to see his father eat like a cow, then cower before his mother when she yelled at him. He wanted to see his friends laugh and be happy. That world... He wanted it all back... "...don't you understand?" He asked desperately through tears. "Everything was so wonderful... I was so happy, completed... I miss my family..."
Videl hugged tighter, nuzzling her face into the back of his robe. "Makes me wonder what you would do without me here."
Gohan laughed and stretched out his wings, so his feathers could tickle her face. She giggled. "I have no idea. Probably go crazy and get sent to hell."
Videl chuckled, and loosened her grip on him. "Your family will eventually be complete once again, I promise. Then they won't be so sad. So no more looking into the Silver Sight, alright? It's been known..."
"I know, I know, to drive even the most stable insane. But I just want to..."
"They'll be okay! Honestly Gohan." Videl laughed again, walking beside him, blue eyes glinting with compassion.
Gohan smiled back at Videl, giving into her demands. "Fine Videl. You win. No more Silver Sight..."
Taking Gohan's hand, Videl started gently off the ground using her wings. "Let's go to lunch."
Gohan rose up with her. "Of course."
