Chapter 5
Lelu and Trunks casually walked to their first class leaving the guy in his thoughts. As they entered the room, they found Gohan, VJ, Videl, Sharpner, and Erase sitting close to the top in English class. They both walked across the room, and were stopped by the teacher. "And who are you two?" the teacher asked. "Uh... I'm hokutalelu, Lelu for short, and that's trunks." Lelu explained. "I see. And I presume you're in this class. Am I right?" the teacher asked. Trunks nodded. "Sit down." The teacher snapped. Trunks blushed and Lelu rolled her eyes as they both sat down next to gohan. So it was Lelu, trunks, gohan, VJ, and behind them was Videl, Sharpner, and Erase. "Now class, before I was interrupted, I was talking about chemical equations-----"
"Psssst! Lelu? Wanna go out with me?" sharpner whispered to Lelu. "Where? The store?" Lelu asked. "She just dawged you, boy." A guy teased sharpner. "Shut up!" Sharpner blurted. "Excuse me?" the teacher asked looking sternly at sharpner. "Nothing, ma'am." Sharper replied. "What did you say? We all want to hear." The teacher said. "I said what up!" sharper said cleverly. "The protons are up, Mr. Sharpner." The teacher said turning back to her chalkboard. "Thanks." Sharpner replied frowning and rolling his eyes as he turned back to Lelu. "Leave her alone sharpner." Gohan warned. "Stay out of this." Sharpner replied.
"Lelu? What are you doing?" Trunks whispered to Lelu. "I'm makin fire works. Watch this." Lelu replied lighting a little fire rocket with her energy from her index finger. Suddenly, it exploded into the air, sending red and yellow sparks behind it. Everyone screamed but Lelu began to laugh. The teacher screeched and tried to hit the uncontrollable flying rocket with a broom. Lelu fell off her chair, from laughing, and slowly rolled down the stairs to the bottom floor holding her sides and laughing. "Miss hokutalelu!" the teacher roared looking down at Lelu. "Watch out." Lelu said as she breathed. Suddenly, a fire rocket shot under the teacher's dress and blew up in Lelu's face. Her bangs stood at end, and her face was black. Lelu coughed as she stood up and slowly walked back to her seat. "I DON'T THINK SO MISSY!" the teacher barked. Lelu turned and saw the teacher's pale white skinned face slowly turn a crimson red. "Uh-, my name is Lelu. Not missy." Lelu corrected her. "OUT!" the teacher screamed. Lelu hurried out of the room waving good-bye to the gang. Then the teacher walked out after her. "Hokutalelu? Where are you?" the teacher asked. Her voice became faint as Lelu slipped into the room again and ran up the desks to the gang. She stood on the long desk in front of gohan, dancing around on one foot. "Ya know? I think I made a bad impression on me self today... the lives of two people don't amount to heck in this crazy world. No sir, that's why I never went to school. Maybe not today, maybe not-whaaaa!" Lelu fell off the desk and fell onto the ground next to VJ's feet. "Are you ok?" VJ asked his eyebrow rose up. "Ow..." Lelu replied. "Wheh... you need to wash your feet brotha!" Lelu said standing up.
The bell suddenly rung, and they all got up. "I'm out." Lelu said as she planned to leave, but gohan grabbed her by the wrist." You can't leave." He explained. "Why not?" Lelu asked. "Because, you just can't please stay." Gohan begged. Lelu sighed. "Can you not handle it?" VJ asked. "VJ? Can I have you phone number?" Lelu asked in a squeaky girl voice. "Shut up." VJ replied in his regular monotone. "VJ? Can I have you phone number?" a girl asked. "VJ turned to see a girl with pink hair starring up at him. "Yea VJ. Can she have your phone number?" Lelu asked him. "Stay out of this." VJ muttered. "Come on? Please? I wont call much." The girl pleaded. "Yea... she won't call much." Lelu replied. "I said stay out of this Lelu." VJ snapped. "Can I? Please?" the girl asked. "Yea, can I have your too? Please?" Lelu asked. "I said- SHUT UP!" VJ roared as he turned and punched Lelu in the gut. Lelu spit out blood onto the floor just as she started to crack up again. She fell to the floor and began to laugh hysterically. "Is-is she ok?" the girl asked. "You just punched her-she spit out blood- and she's-she's laughing?" sharpner asked as he came up. "Make her stop. She's-she's frightening me." The girl whimpered. "well... I'll ask for your number later." The girl said before running off. "Lelu? Are you ok?" trunks was at Lelu's side. "Stop laughing. Please stop." Gohan explained as people stopped to stare bewildered as the bloody laughing Lelu. "I'm-I'm fine it's just-hehehehehehehe- hold on-hehehehehe!" Lelu laughed. Suddenly she stopped and created a solemn expression. She, she began to hic-cup.
"That- hic-cup- was funny..." Lelu breathed in a great amount of air.
"Uh-sorry for punching you in the gut, Lelu." VJ apologized. "That's what you did? I thought you tried tickling me or somethin! That's funny!" Lelu let out a few laughs. "No, I punched you, and you spit out blood. Doesn't that mean anything to you?" VJ asked. "Uh---not really." Lelu replied thinking. "I think your confused Lelu." Gohan sighed. "Ya, I think I am too." Lelu replied.
*Suddenly, a shadow formed over the sitting Lelu. Lelu looked up and saw Rena and Kindae starring down at her. "Rena? Kindae? What are you two doing in school?" Lelu asked. "Stone and bones are back... they are looking for you guys." Rena explained as Lelu stood up and wiped her mouth. "What happened?" Kindae asked. "no worries... I'm not dead." Lelu assured them. "I punched her in the gut and she spit out blood before she began to laugh hysterically." VJ explained. "Wha?" Rena asked confused. "Never mind... well, the world calls, and we listen. Come on peoples, we are getting out of this boring joint!" Lelu smiled at the thought. "After school, Lelu." Rena said in a stern voice. "But why?" Lelu asked whining. "BECAUSE!" gohan and Rena said together. "OK! Fine!" Lelu said. But suddenly she fell to the floor and flew out the door. "Whaaaa! Not agai-----n!" Lelu screamed. "'Scuse me! Comin through, watch out!" Lelu barked as she put her arms over her eyes to shield them from falling pencils from people jumping to get out of the way. "Let me go!" Lelu shouted. The gang ran after her as fast as they could. But Lelu had disappeared.
She reappeared with a water dragon looking at her. "AAAAH!" Lelu screamed as she kicked the dragon that flew back. She got up, bout to run, but stumbled to the ground again. "I hate you." Lelu muttered. "As do I, hokutalelu." The dragon hissed. Lelu turned to face the dragon. She looked around; she was in a meadow that was a battlefield. There was still blood covered mud, and decapitated head, and bones around in the grass. "out of all places you had to bring me here!" Lelu snapped as she grabbed the dragon by the neck and began to furiously strangle it. the dragon slashed through Lelu's skin on her arm with its claws and Lelu kept shaking the dragon madly strangling it. After several slashes, and Lelu getting tired, her arms hurting, she dropped the dragon on its head. "Stupid lizard... Ow." Lelu muttered as she looked at her arm, where three deep cuts were sliced with blood trickling onto her clothes and grass. The dragon looked at Lelu, with its eyes narrowing. "I told you I'd back hokutalelu. I always keep my word. I see my work has affected you fighting. But you have did an attack hurting someone, and you got knocked out in the process. Doesn't the pain thrill you, that every time you try to defend yourself, that you'll feel the pain you inflict on someone?" the dragon asked. "Ya.. I love the feeling ya know? I wouldn't mind killing you right now as long as you leave me alone and stop spying on me!" Lelu said in an outrage as she created a glowing kai energy ball in her hand about to send to the helpless dragon.
"So you do remember this place. It's where you killed those helpless children in a space pod trying to see kakarott. "It was an accident, even you know that." Lelu explained. "My ship landed, and the impact killed them." Lelu explained. "Yessss- but remember what happened after you got out? You stole some kids clothes, giving them yours, and then you ripped your necklace off and threw it on the ground. Something you should never had done. It was a protection amulet hokutalelu... and now, that it is off... someone's in big trouble." The dragon taunted. "What's your point?" Lelu asked losing patients. "Tentatio-onis per!" the dragon hissed. Lelu eye's dilated and turned fuzzy and blank as her kai attack died down. Lelu looked down at the dragon with a solemn face. "No." she whispered before her eyes narrowed and she created her kai attack once more. "I'm going to destroy you hear me lizard!" Lelu screamed as a necklace with a green crystal in the middle with a golden chain hooked on both sides, and dark blue little beads an inch away up both sides of the chain hooked onto her neck, Lelu blasted the dragon. The dragon hissed "tentatio-onis per" one more time before it disappeared in a poof of smoke. "I'll be back." It whispered madly as the smoke disappeared. Lelu suddenly fell on a tree before blacking out. As she slept, the necklace glowed, and her original clothes formed on her.
A brown leather short spaghetti strap formed, with a gray round jewel with a cresent moon on the both sides of white. White sleeves formed on her lower shoulders, where excess cloth slouched where the sleeve began that attached at gray jewel. Sleeves went down her arms into gloves. A gold bracelet formed on her left wrist that was three inches long, that had the phases of the moon smacked on the bracelet throughout. A white mini skirt that tied on her side formed from below her belly button, and white tight, but a bit baggy windbreaker pants formed under the skirt, starting at the top of her thigh all the way down to her feet where her usual white boots with blood stains formed over the white windbreakers.
The necklace stopped glowing as the gang finally came close to finding her. "I felt her energy over here somewhere." Trunks explained. "How could it be Lelu? And why would she use her energy? Again, I do recall the fact that she, I dunno- fears hurting people! And why did he have to come?" VJ roared. "pipe it VJ." Trunks snapped back. "Sharpner was going to tell if he didn't come guys." Gohan explained holding sharpner from his arms. They all landed. "You know VJ? I'm really getting tired of you. When are you going back to where you belong?" Trunks wondered out loud.
"Once I marry Lelu. How bout that knuckle brains!" VJ taunted. "She'd never marry you. So why don't you go back now." Trunks replied back. "no thank you, trunks. I'm here to destroy kraken. That's all." VJ explained. "Kraken? Who's kraken?" trunks asked. "Not like I'm telling you. I may tell my wife to be..." VJ thought. "Hey boys, boys, boys... Lelu ain't marrying any of you two." Sharpner explained. "Oh, then who she marrying Blondie?" trunks asked. "Simple. Me" sharpner shrugged. "I don't think so." VJ muttered. "I've seen the future... remember? You aren't in it bub." VJ explained. "Oh. And I doubt she marries you." Trunks explained. "You'd be surprise." VJ smiled. Trunks was about to punch VJ, but gohan pointed somewhere. "Guys! Look!" gohan explained. Trunks, VJ, Rena, Kindae, and sharpner looked at a body, but they couldn't see who it was, for the head was hidden behind the tree. As the gang walked up to the body, they gasped. "Le-Lelu?" gohan stuttered in disbelief. "What is she wearin?" sharpner wondered. "Why is she wearing that-not her kind out outfit?" VJ asked anyone as they walked closer to her. "I dunno. Is she dead?" sharpner asked. "She's immortal. She can't exactly die." Trunks explained. "What's with the outfit, and who dragged her away?" gohan asked. "bet it was the dragon thing... he sad he'd be back... and he is invisible, and did do this last time. but then he must of bit her, and she's going to reveal her past in her eyes." trunks explained walking up to her. "What about the energy you detected?" VJ asked. "The dragon's?" trunks shrugged. He put his hands on Lelu's shoulders and immediately took them off. They singed with pain. He looked at his hands, which were burned red, and smoked.
"What happened?" gohan asked. "When I touched her, I was burned, and she's perfectly fine!" Trunks explained. "Try touchin her again." VJ suggested. They all hid behind the tree looking at trunks in case Lelu would wake up and go psycho on whomever she could see. Trunks poked her on the shoulders. He immediately jolted his finger back. "Ouch." He muttered as he stared desperately at Lelu. "Well... let me try." VJ offered as he touched Lelu's hand. "Ha! Nothin." Vj said proudly. "Touch her shoulder." Trunks nudged him. "I'm not touchin her shoulder, she's your future wife you say, you touch her." VJ replied. "No... she's bare at her shoulder. Your touching cloth..." trunks explained. "right." VJ replied. "I will touch my future wife's shoulder." VJ taunted. "Are you serious?" Gohan asked as trunks went red. "Nah... I'm just playin with him." VJ whispered back. "oh..." gohan replied. VJ touched Lelu's shoulder, but let go. "Ya, that hurt." VJ explained looking at the grinning trunks showing his, I told ya so, expression.
Suddenly, Lelu stirred. She rubbed her eyes as she sat all the way up not noticing the guys looking at her. She finally did as she looked at them, focusing her eyes. "hi guys." She said smiling. "..." is all they said. "Heh... your probably wondering some things. Huh?" Lelu asked as she weakly smiled. "how come we can't touch you?" trunks was the one who broke the silence. "Actually... lets not wonder... come on you guys. We're going to miss school lunch." Lelu said getting up. "What's with the clothes?" Rena asked. "Well... you have to know. Huh? Your not going to let me eat till yeh do. Right?" Lelu asked. They all nodded. "Okie dokie. These were the clothes I came in, seeking kakarott. But when I got here, I thought I look to conspicuous so, I swapped clothes with some kid. Anyways... this stupid necklace has a mind of its own. So... it-I guess gave me my original clothes. See, when you turn immortal, you receive a special bond with somethin, and they give you something to make everyone know that you are immortal. Well, these are the clothes they gave me. All I really wanted was a ring or somethin..." Lelu explained. "When we touch you, we get burned." VJ explained. "Great... tentatio-onis per." Lelu muttered as she finally remembered. "Huh?" sharpner asked. "it's Latin. Means judgment throughout. It's this necklace, a judge so to speak... its going to see how I handle the pain when I blast someone, and what happens to me. As in, do I dream about what happened, or die for awhile or what. Then it sends it to a mother ship, where they find a weak point at which I can turn evil. It was all part of that dumb lizard's plan." Lelu explained. "What happen to the dragon?" VJ asked. "he became one with the wind." Lelu said smiling. "You killed it?" Trunks asked. Lelu nodded. "bad-bad idea." Rena explained as she began to pace.
"Yea. Totally bad idea." VJ explained standing up. "Well, he shouldn't of called me a bimbo or an irresponsible brat!" Lelu explained. "He called you that?" Kindae asked. "Well... no, not exactly-but, he-he was thinking it." Lelu replied unsure. "he was?" Trunks asked. "Yea. He had too. He was annoying, and would not shut up, and he was testing me." Lelu explained. "Besides... why was it a bad idea again?" Lelu asked. "Kraken is coming soon." Rena whispered. "You know about him?" VJ asked. Rena nodded. "Not him." Kindae moaned. "He came to our world too. But we thought that redina destroyed him. But if a dragon could die... then, he's not dead. He was the link that makes all dragons mortal, without him, they are immortal. Its an advantage for both of them. Of kraken is killed, then no other dragon can be killed. but if he's not killed, then the little dragons can be killed, and then he detects it, and comes." Rena explained. "He can take any form, and it very dangerous. In my time, he took on Vegeta's body... that can't happen again." Vj warned. "No sweat. In what I've heard about you all... I think Lelu would be the one that kraken goes after." Sharpner explained. "You told him about me?" Lelu asked. "no, he was listening while we told Rena and Kindae." Trunks corrected her. "oh boy." Lelu slapped her head. "Why would kraken go for Lelu?" Rena asked sharpner. "Well, not to be rude or anything, but she isn't the purest of purest guys. She killed countless amounts of people, was cursed cause of that, meaning she had to do something very bad to get a water dragon to bite her. even I know that, and I can't fly like you guys and-"
"Wait... you know about the water dragon?" trunks asked.
"Well-yea, I do." Sharpner replied. "And it could only bite someone to make them feel pain is if they did something very bad?" VJ asked. sharpner nodded. "I read it at a book in the library. Thought it was on baseball, but that was in it." sharpner explained. but no one was paying attention to him. They were all looking at Lelu. "What did you do that was really bad Lelu?" gohan asked. "Wha-well it wasn't like I let raditz kill my mum. As in, not even try." Lelu explained as she backed away from the guys looking at her. "You did try to stop raditz from killing you mum. Right?" VJ asked. "Well, I saw what happened. Ya, she did." Trunks defended Lelu. "Why would me letting raditz kill my mum be really bad?" Lelu asked. "so you DID let him kill her without trying to stop her!" Rena said. "Wha? NO! I couldn't do anything to make him stop in the first place, second, she told me not too, and I did try. Trunk saw!" Lelu explained. "Lelu... your hiding something from us. I know you are. What is it?" Kindae asked. "N-nothing. I'm not hiding something. I-promise." Lelu explained. sweat started to drip from her forehead. "You seem very shaky." Rena explained. "Well... its not every day when 4 people start questioning you non stop on your past that you couldn't really control!" Lelu snapped. "What happened that you couldn't control Lelu?" trunks asked. "What sis you not want me to see when I looked through your mind. That you let me, but wouldn't let me see? I understood that after it happened. You let em see you mind. You have that ability. Don't you? WHAT was it that you didn't let me see, and why did you let me see in the first place?" trunks asked.
Lelu looked at trunks. He was clutching on his pants as if he wanted to explode. "I wanted you to see my past because-because I wanted you to know who I was. There's nothing I didn't show you." Lelu explained. "yes there was Lelu. Your mother greeted me that night I saw your past! She told me something I didn't see. She saw you laughing with raditz after you two thought she was dead! She told me! She told me this, so I could help you change! But it seems you can never change! That's the evilest thing anyone could do! Let you mother die, and laugh with the person who did it afterwards!" Trunks roared. Lelu looked at him. "Your going to believe a ghost? There are no such things as ghosts, trunks! You probably had a dream or something, that lied to you so you could believe something more easily. I didn't laugh when my mother died. I did not, not try to help her, I did trunks. And I definitely did NOT laugh with Raditz! I'd rather killed him that laugh!" Lelu screamed. "Then why didn't you?" trunks voice was soft. "Because..." Lelu replied. "Because WHY?" trunks asked. "I-I cant' tell you." Lelu replied looking away from trunks. "I knew you were hiding something Lelu, and I'm still going to find out. I hope kraken takes you, and destroys you hokutalelu." Trunks said before flying off into the sky. "Come back trunks!" Lelu screamed as she stood up and was about to shoot off after him, but Rena grabbed her by the ankle and thrashed her into the tree.
"There's something else you did besides let your mother die, for she was the purest one in the universe, the one who should have been the savior. Not you! I as well are going to seek it out hokutalelu. You have failed this universe." Rena explained. "I didn't let my mother die. Like I said, there was nothing I could do, and I'm not hiding anything! And I didn't' fail the universe, and I never even asked to be the savior! I never wanted too! I never got to choose to be a regular kid, with no responsibility through my life. My mother didn't even feel like asking me to be it. she said it was my job in life. That was why I was born. Do you understand how I felt when she first told me that? That I couldn't choose to be good or bad? I HAD to be good. Bad wasn't an option for me. The hold universe rests on my hands? Not the peachiest thing to tell a little girl, especially one like me! I hated the fact that my mother did. And I really hated the fact that technically, I couldn't do anything to make it stop... I didn't know at the time that I could of just kill raditz with a finger. I had no idea, but I couldn't, cause I knew that the first life I took... it would not be the last." Lelu paused, tears began to fill her eyes, but she began once more.
"I knew that, once I killed someone, I would no longer be pure, but my mother never came back... she never did. Everyone left me, no one ever stayed with me! She told me she was immortal, and she'd always be there when I needed her. But she wasn't I was beat as a little girl, I was neglected, hated, I had no friends, everyone was scared of me. I didn't' want to grow up being the savior when everyone other than raditz was scared of me. I was going to be what the people wanted. Someone to fear, and I became that, out of choice? I don't think so. They feared me, and I let them. There's nothing terrible that I did that was so bad, that it- that it should of tore me apart, where I was no longer alive. But I was immortal... and I tried dyin endless times, I thought that it was some sort of joke. And I wanted it to all end. I didn't have the courage when I was little. But once I was, I did. I thought since my mother was immortal and died, then I could. I didn't care about being the savior of the dumb universe. And I still don't." Lelu explained as she began to cry. She fell to the ground, hugged her knees, and cried into her arms. "I just wanted to be a regular kid." She explained. "That-that was the thing that was so terrible." Rena muttered. "She didn't care about the universe, about one day stopping it from evil." She explained. "Lelu, I didn't know." Rena started. "I don't care Rena. I don't care if you call me a bimbo irresponsible brat..." she explained. all of a sudden, Lelu screamed, and twisted her body, and blasted the tree. "WHA!" sharpner shouted as he fell away from Lelu. Lelu suddenly got up and grabbed something and began to strangle it. it was the water demon.
"You annoying lizard! I am going to kill you!" Lelu screamed as she began to shake it wildly. "Lelu! Remember what you said. You said the first soul you took, it wouldn't be the last! Maybe the dragon is trying to help you!" Rena suggested. "finally someone who understood me." The dragon hissed. "Believe it or not, killing was the only way I got rid of pain." Lelu whispered as she threw the dragon to Rena and suddenly blasted herself in the chest. "Lelu!" trunks suddenly shouted as he grabbed Lelu before she fell. "I never left you." He explained. blood fell over her body as she starred at trunks trying to take in air. Tears still fell down her cheeks
"I-I thought you flew off." Lelu explained. "I did. But then, I couldn't. I heard the whole thing... I saw you standing up and strangling that dragon, then about to blast yourself... but I wasn't able to stop you... now I know how you felt when you couldn't stop raditz from killing your mother. I couldn't let you kill yourself. "I believe we're going to get married later on. And not you and VJ." Trunks explained looking at VJ with narrowed eyes. "Trunks..." Lelu whispered. Trunks looked back at Lelu. "What?" he asked. "I-I can't die." Lelu explained before she blacked out. "I know. I know." Trunks whispered as he picked her up. "How are you able to touch her?" VJ asked. "Rubber gloves." Trunks explained. "Interesting." VJ said in approval. Several days later, Lelu awoke with Trunks sleeping in a chair next to her bed. Suddenly, the door open to show goku-walking in. he sat on the other side of the bed in a chair. He turned it the other way and sat down, and rested his arms on the back. "How are you feeling?" goku whispered. "I'm ok." Lelu replied. "Trunks hasn't left your side since." Goku explained as Lelu looked up at the ceiling. "Am I a bad person?" Lelu asked turning to face goku. Goku looked perplexed by this question, but thought of it.
"No ones a bad person Lelu. Not even you. Everyone person that's evil, has a heart, which is good. You've been showing the good all this time when you wouldn't hurt the others." Goku explained. "But I didn't want to hurt them cause I'd feel the pain. I mean... I felt like hurting them." Lelu explained. "Yea, but you chose not to. See, you really wanted to kill that lizard thing, so you blasted it, even though you knew what would happen... you punched VJ when he made you angry, still the same thing. You choose you path Lelu, you can choose what will happen to you in the future, not some dumb prophecy that says you're going to be the savior of the universe. You can change that." Goku explained. "Oh, full moon..." goku stood up, walked to the other side of the moon and shut the curtains. "We wouldn't want you to be getting up while your not healthy, now would we?" goku asked smiling. "No wonder my mum told me to find you... YOUR the one who should be the savior... you or gohan at least." Lelu explained. "Nah, I'd probably forget about the job and eat, and gohan wouldn't have time while chi-chi's around. He'd be to busy studying or something." Goku smiled. "Destiny sucks huh?" goku asked. Lelu nodded. "Well... get back to sleep Lelu, the sun will rise in an hour or two. You need to be a fit as can, tomorrow; you can get a senzu bean from Corin. Cause tomorrow we have to train for the upcoming threat kraken." Goku explained. "Corin?" Lelu asked.
"Yea... he's the one who grows the senzu beans. Now rest." Goku explained walking over to Lelu and kissed her forehead. Lelu closed her eyes hoping that goku would jolt away from being burned. "Night." He said as he began to walk off. "You weren't burned." Lelu blurted. "What do you mean?" goku turned. "Well... when trunks or VJ touched me, they were burned." Lelu explained. "Dunno. Maybe we can figure it out tomorrow." Goku explained as he closed the door leaving the light from the moon flowing into the room from the curtains.
Lelu and Trunks casually walked to their first class leaving the guy in his thoughts. As they entered the room, they found Gohan, VJ, Videl, Sharpner, and Erase sitting close to the top in English class. They both walked across the room, and were stopped by the teacher. "And who are you two?" the teacher asked. "Uh... I'm hokutalelu, Lelu for short, and that's trunks." Lelu explained. "I see. And I presume you're in this class. Am I right?" the teacher asked. Trunks nodded. "Sit down." The teacher snapped. Trunks blushed and Lelu rolled her eyes as they both sat down next to gohan. So it was Lelu, trunks, gohan, VJ, and behind them was Videl, Sharpner, and Erase. "Now class, before I was interrupted, I was talking about chemical equations-----"
"Psssst! Lelu? Wanna go out with me?" sharpner whispered to Lelu. "Where? The store?" Lelu asked. "She just dawged you, boy." A guy teased sharpner. "Shut up!" Sharpner blurted. "Excuse me?" the teacher asked looking sternly at sharpner. "Nothing, ma'am." Sharper replied. "What did you say? We all want to hear." The teacher said. "I said what up!" sharper said cleverly. "The protons are up, Mr. Sharpner." The teacher said turning back to her chalkboard. "Thanks." Sharpner replied frowning and rolling his eyes as he turned back to Lelu. "Leave her alone sharpner." Gohan warned. "Stay out of this." Sharpner replied.
"Lelu? What are you doing?" Trunks whispered to Lelu. "I'm makin fire works. Watch this." Lelu replied lighting a little fire rocket with her energy from her index finger. Suddenly, it exploded into the air, sending red and yellow sparks behind it. Everyone screamed but Lelu began to laugh. The teacher screeched and tried to hit the uncontrollable flying rocket with a broom. Lelu fell off her chair, from laughing, and slowly rolled down the stairs to the bottom floor holding her sides and laughing. "Miss hokutalelu!" the teacher roared looking down at Lelu. "Watch out." Lelu said as she breathed. Suddenly, a fire rocket shot under the teacher's dress and blew up in Lelu's face. Her bangs stood at end, and her face was black. Lelu coughed as she stood up and slowly walked back to her seat. "I DON'T THINK SO MISSY!" the teacher barked. Lelu turned and saw the teacher's pale white skinned face slowly turn a crimson red. "Uh-, my name is Lelu. Not missy." Lelu corrected her. "OUT!" the teacher screamed. Lelu hurried out of the room waving good-bye to the gang. Then the teacher walked out after her. "Hokutalelu? Where are you?" the teacher asked. Her voice became faint as Lelu slipped into the room again and ran up the desks to the gang. She stood on the long desk in front of gohan, dancing around on one foot. "Ya know? I think I made a bad impression on me self today... the lives of two people don't amount to heck in this crazy world. No sir, that's why I never went to school. Maybe not today, maybe not-whaaaa!" Lelu fell off the desk and fell onto the ground next to VJ's feet. "Are you ok?" VJ asked his eyebrow rose up. "Ow..." Lelu replied. "Wheh... you need to wash your feet brotha!" Lelu said standing up.
The bell suddenly rung, and they all got up. "I'm out." Lelu said as she planned to leave, but gohan grabbed her by the wrist." You can't leave." He explained. "Why not?" Lelu asked. "Because, you just can't please stay." Gohan begged. Lelu sighed. "Can you not handle it?" VJ asked. "VJ? Can I have you phone number?" Lelu asked in a squeaky girl voice. "Shut up." VJ replied in his regular monotone. "VJ? Can I have you phone number?" a girl asked. "VJ turned to see a girl with pink hair starring up at him. "Yea VJ. Can she have your phone number?" Lelu asked him. "Stay out of this." VJ muttered. "Come on? Please? I wont call much." The girl pleaded. "Yea... she won't call much." Lelu replied. "I said stay out of this Lelu." VJ snapped. "Can I? Please?" the girl asked. "Yea, can I have your too? Please?" Lelu asked. "I said- SHUT UP!" VJ roared as he turned and punched Lelu in the gut. Lelu spit out blood onto the floor just as she started to crack up again. She fell to the floor and began to laugh hysterically. "Is-is she ok?" the girl asked. "You just punched her-she spit out blood- and she's-she's laughing?" sharpner asked as he came up. "Make her stop. She's-she's frightening me." The girl whimpered. "well... I'll ask for your number later." The girl said before running off. "Lelu? Are you ok?" trunks was at Lelu's side. "Stop laughing. Please stop." Gohan explained as people stopped to stare bewildered as the bloody laughing Lelu. "I'm-I'm fine it's just-hehehehehehehe- hold on-hehehehehe!" Lelu laughed. Suddenly she stopped and created a solemn expression. She, she began to hic-cup.
"That- hic-cup- was funny..." Lelu breathed in a great amount of air.
"Uh-sorry for punching you in the gut, Lelu." VJ apologized. "That's what you did? I thought you tried tickling me or somethin! That's funny!" Lelu let out a few laughs. "No, I punched you, and you spit out blood. Doesn't that mean anything to you?" VJ asked. "Uh---not really." Lelu replied thinking. "I think your confused Lelu." Gohan sighed. "Ya, I think I am too." Lelu replied.
*Suddenly, a shadow formed over the sitting Lelu. Lelu looked up and saw Rena and Kindae starring down at her. "Rena? Kindae? What are you two doing in school?" Lelu asked. "Stone and bones are back... they are looking for you guys." Rena explained as Lelu stood up and wiped her mouth. "What happened?" Kindae asked. "no worries... I'm not dead." Lelu assured them. "I punched her in the gut and she spit out blood before she began to laugh hysterically." VJ explained. "Wha?" Rena asked confused. "Never mind... well, the world calls, and we listen. Come on peoples, we are getting out of this boring joint!" Lelu smiled at the thought. "After school, Lelu." Rena said in a stern voice. "But why?" Lelu asked whining. "BECAUSE!" gohan and Rena said together. "OK! Fine!" Lelu said. But suddenly she fell to the floor and flew out the door. "Whaaaa! Not agai-----n!" Lelu screamed. "'Scuse me! Comin through, watch out!" Lelu barked as she put her arms over her eyes to shield them from falling pencils from people jumping to get out of the way. "Let me go!" Lelu shouted. The gang ran after her as fast as they could. But Lelu had disappeared.
She reappeared with a water dragon looking at her. "AAAAH!" Lelu screamed as she kicked the dragon that flew back. She got up, bout to run, but stumbled to the ground again. "I hate you." Lelu muttered. "As do I, hokutalelu." The dragon hissed. Lelu turned to face the dragon. She looked around; she was in a meadow that was a battlefield. There was still blood covered mud, and decapitated head, and bones around in the grass. "out of all places you had to bring me here!" Lelu snapped as she grabbed the dragon by the neck and began to furiously strangle it. the dragon slashed through Lelu's skin on her arm with its claws and Lelu kept shaking the dragon madly strangling it. After several slashes, and Lelu getting tired, her arms hurting, she dropped the dragon on its head. "Stupid lizard... Ow." Lelu muttered as she looked at her arm, where three deep cuts were sliced with blood trickling onto her clothes and grass. The dragon looked at Lelu, with its eyes narrowing. "I told you I'd back hokutalelu. I always keep my word. I see my work has affected you fighting. But you have did an attack hurting someone, and you got knocked out in the process. Doesn't the pain thrill you, that every time you try to defend yourself, that you'll feel the pain you inflict on someone?" the dragon asked. "Ya.. I love the feeling ya know? I wouldn't mind killing you right now as long as you leave me alone and stop spying on me!" Lelu said in an outrage as she created a glowing kai energy ball in her hand about to send to the helpless dragon.
"So you do remember this place. It's where you killed those helpless children in a space pod trying to see kakarott. "It was an accident, even you know that." Lelu explained. "My ship landed, and the impact killed them." Lelu explained. "Yessss- but remember what happened after you got out? You stole some kids clothes, giving them yours, and then you ripped your necklace off and threw it on the ground. Something you should never had done. It was a protection amulet hokutalelu... and now, that it is off... someone's in big trouble." The dragon taunted. "What's your point?" Lelu asked losing patients. "Tentatio-onis per!" the dragon hissed. Lelu eye's dilated and turned fuzzy and blank as her kai attack died down. Lelu looked down at the dragon with a solemn face. "No." she whispered before her eyes narrowed and she created her kai attack once more. "I'm going to destroy you hear me lizard!" Lelu screamed as a necklace with a green crystal in the middle with a golden chain hooked on both sides, and dark blue little beads an inch away up both sides of the chain hooked onto her neck, Lelu blasted the dragon. The dragon hissed "tentatio-onis per" one more time before it disappeared in a poof of smoke. "I'll be back." It whispered madly as the smoke disappeared. Lelu suddenly fell on a tree before blacking out. As she slept, the necklace glowed, and her original clothes formed on her.
A brown leather short spaghetti strap formed, with a gray round jewel with a cresent moon on the both sides of white. White sleeves formed on her lower shoulders, where excess cloth slouched where the sleeve began that attached at gray jewel. Sleeves went down her arms into gloves. A gold bracelet formed on her left wrist that was three inches long, that had the phases of the moon smacked on the bracelet throughout. A white mini skirt that tied on her side formed from below her belly button, and white tight, but a bit baggy windbreaker pants formed under the skirt, starting at the top of her thigh all the way down to her feet where her usual white boots with blood stains formed over the white windbreakers.
The necklace stopped glowing as the gang finally came close to finding her. "I felt her energy over here somewhere." Trunks explained. "How could it be Lelu? And why would she use her energy? Again, I do recall the fact that she, I dunno- fears hurting people! And why did he have to come?" VJ roared. "pipe it VJ." Trunks snapped back. "Sharpner was going to tell if he didn't come guys." Gohan explained holding sharpner from his arms. They all landed. "You know VJ? I'm really getting tired of you. When are you going back to where you belong?" Trunks wondered out loud.
"Once I marry Lelu. How bout that knuckle brains!" VJ taunted. "She'd never marry you. So why don't you go back now." Trunks replied back. "no thank you, trunks. I'm here to destroy kraken. That's all." VJ explained. "Kraken? Who's kraken?" trunks asked. "Not like I'm telling you. I may tell my wife to be..." VJ thought. "Hey boys, boys, boys... Lelu ain't marrying any of you two." Sharpner explained. "Oh, then who she marrying Blondie?" trunks asked. "Simple. Me" sharpner shrugged. "I don't think so." VJ muttered. "I've seen the future... remember? You aren't in it bub." VJ explained. "Oh. And I doubt she marries you." Trunks explained. "You'd be surprise." VJ smiled. Trunks was about to punch VJ, but gohan pointed somewhere. "Guys! Look!" gohan explained. Trunks, VJ, Rena, Kindae, and sharpner looked at a body, but they couldn't see who it was, for the head was hidden behind the tree. As the gang walked up to the body, they gasped. "Le-Lelu?" gohan stuttered in disbelief. "What is she wearin?" sharpner wondered. "Why is she wearing that-not her kind out outfit?" VJ asked anyone as they walked closer to her. "I dunno. Is she dead?" sharpner asked. "She's immortal. She can't exactly die." Trunks explained. "What's with the outfit, and who dragged her away?" gohan asked. "bet it was the dragon thing... he sad he'd be back... and he is invisible, and did do this last time. but then he must of bit her, and she's going to reveal her past in her eyes." trunks explained walking up to her. "What about the energy you detected?" VJ asked. "The dragon's?" trunks shrugged. He put his hands on Lelu's shoulders and immediately took them off. They singed with pain. He looked at his hands, which were burned red, and smoked.
"What happened?" gohan asked. "When I touched her, I was burned, and she's perfectly fine!" Trunks explained. "Try touchin her again." VJ suggested. They all hid behind the tree looking at trunks in case Lelu would wake up and go psycho on whomever she could see. Trunks poked her on the shoulders. He immediately jolted his finger back. "Ouch." He muttered as he stared desperately at Lelu. "Well... let me try." VJ offered as he touched Lelu's hand. "Ha! Nothin." Vj said proudly. "Touch her shoulder." Trunks nudged him. "I'm not touchin her shoulder, she's your future wife you say, you touch her." VJ replied. "No... she's bare at her shoulder. Your touching cloth..." trunks explained. "right." VJ replied. "I will touch my future wife's shoulder." VJ taunted. "Are you serious?" Gohan asked as trunks went red. "Nah... I'm just playin with him." VJ whispered back. "oh..." gohan replied. VJ touched Lelu's shoulder, but let go. "Ya, that hurt." VJ explained looking at the grinning trunks showing his, I told ya so, expression.
Suddenly, Lelu stirred. She rubbed her eyes as she sat all the way up not noticing the guys looking at her. She finally did as she looked at them, focusing her eyes. "hi guys." She said smiling. "..." is all they said. "Heh... your probably wondering some things. Huh?" Lelu asked as she weakly smiled. "how come we can't touch you?" trunks was the one who broke the silence. "Actually... lets not wonder... come on you guys. We're going to miss school lunch." Lelu said getting up. "What's with the clothes?" Rena asked. "Well... you have to know. Huh? Your not going to let me eat till yeh do. Right?" Lelu asked. They all nodded. "Okie dokie. These were the clothes I came in, seeking kakarott. But when I got here, I thought I look to conspicuous so, I swapped clothes with some kid. Anyways... this stupid necklace has a mind of its own. So... it-I guess gave me my original clothes. See, when you turn immortal, you receive a special bond with somethin, and they give you something to make everyone know that you are immortal. Well, these are the clothes they gave me. All I really wanted was a ring or somethin..." Lelu explained. "When we touch you, we get burned." VJ explained. "Great... tentatio-onis per." Lelu muttered as she finally remembered. "Huh?" sharpner asked. "it's Latin. Means judgment throughout. It's this necklace, a judge so to speak... its going to see how I handle the pain when I blast someone, and what happens to me. As in, do I dream about what happened, or die for awhile or what. Then it sends it to a mother ship, where they find a weak point at which I can turn evil. It was all part of that dumb lizard's plan." Lelu explained. "What happen to the dragon?" VJ asked. "he became one with the wind." Lelu said smiling. "You killed it?" Trunks asked. Lelu nodded. "bad-bad idea." Rena explained as she began to pace.
"Yea. Totally bad idea." VJ explained standing up. "Well, he shouldn't of called me a bimbo or an irresponsible brat!" Lelu explained. "He called you that?" Kindae asked. "Well... no, not exactly-but, he-he was thinking it." Lelu replied unsure. "he was?" Trunks asked. "Yea. He had too. He was annoying, and would not shut up, and he was testing me." Lelu explained. "Besides... why was it a bad idea again?" Lelu asked. "Kraken is coming soon." Rena whispered. "You know about him?" VJ asked. Rena nodded. "Not him." Kindae moaned. "He came to our world too. But we thought that redina destroyed him. But if a dragon could die... then, he's not dead. He was the link that makes all dragons mortal, without him, they are immortal. Its an advantage for both of them. Of kraken is killed, then no other dragon can be killed. but if he's not killed, then the little dragons can be killed, and then he detects it, and comes." Rena explained. "He can take any form, and it very dangerous. In my time, he took on Vegeta's body... that can't happen again." Vj warned. "No sweat. In what I've heard about you all... I think Lelu would be the one that kraken goes after." Sharpner explained. "You told him about me?" Lelu asked. "no, he was listening while we told Rena and Kindae." Trunks corrected her. "oh boy." Lelu slapped her head. "Why would kraken go for Lelu?" Rena asked sharpner. "Well, not to be rude or anything, but she isn't the purest of purest guys. She killed countless amounts of people, was cursed cause of that, meaning she had to do something very bad to get a water dragon to bite her. even I know that, and I can't fly like you guys and-"
"Wait... you know about the water dragon?" trunks asked.
"Well-yea, I do." Sharpner replied. "And it could only bite someone to make them feel pain is if they did something very bad?" VJ asked. sharpner nodded. "I read it at a book in the library. Thought it was on baseball, but that was in it." sharpner explained. but no one was paying attention to him. They were all looking at Lelu. "What did you do that was really bad Lelu?" gohan asked. "Wha-well it wasn't like I let raditz kill my mum. As in, not even try." Lelu explained as she backed away from the guys looking at her. "You did try to stop raditz from killing you mum. Right?" VJ asked. "Well, I saw what happened. Ya, she did." Trunks defended Lelu. "Why would me letting raditz kill my mum be really bad?" Lelu asked. "so you DID let him kill her without trying to stop her!" Rena said. "Wha? NO! I couldn't do anything to make him stop in the first place, second, she told me not too, and I did try. Trunk saw!" Lelu explained. "Lelu... your hiding something from us. I know you are. What is it?" Kindae asked. "N-nothing. I'm not hiding something. I-promise." Lelu explained. sweat started to drip from her forehead. "You seem very shaky." Rena explained. "Well... its not every day when 4 people start questioning you non stop on your past that you couldn't really control!" Lelu snapped. "What happened that you couldn't control Lelu?" trunks asked. "What sis you not want me to see when I looked through your mind. That you let me, but wouldn't let me see? I understood that after it happened. You let em see you mind. You have that ability. Don't you? WHAT was it that you didn't let me see, and why did you let me see in the first place?" trunks asked.
Lelu looked at trunks. He was clutching on his pants as if he wanted to explode. "I wanted you to see my past because-because I wanted you to know who I was. There's nothing I didn't show you." Lelu explained. "yes there was Lelu. Your mother greeted me that night I saw your past! She told me something I didn't see. She saw you laughing with raditz after you two thought she was dead! She told me! She told me this, so I could help you change! But it seems you can never change! That's the evilest thing anyone could do! Let you mother die, and laugh with the person who did it afterwards!" Trunks roared. Lelu looked at him. "Your going to believe a ghost? There are no such things as ghosts, trunks! You probably had a dream or something, that lied to you so you could believe something more easily. I didn't laugh when my mother died. I did not, not try to help her, I did trunks. And I definitely did NOT laugh with Raditz! I'd rather killed him that laugh!" Lelu screamed. "Then why didn't you?" trunks voice was soft. "Because..." Lelu replied. "Because WHY?" trunks asked. "I-I cant' tell you." Lelu replied looking away from trunks. "I knew you were hiding something Lelu, and I'm still going to find out. I hope kraken takes you, and destroys you hokutalelu." Trunks said before flying off into the sky. "Come back trunks!" Lelu screamed as she stood up and was about to shoot off after him, but Rena grabbed her by the ankle and thrashed her into the tree.
"There's something else you did besides let your mother die, for she was the purest one in the universe, the one who should have been the savior. Not you! I as well are going to seek it out hokutalelu. You have failed this universe." Rena explained. "I didn't let my mother die. Like I said, there was nothing I could do, and I'm not hiding anything! And I didn't' fail the universe, and I never even asked to be the savior! I never wanted too! I never got to choose to be a regular kid, with no responsibility through my life. My mother didn't even feel like asking me to be it. she said it was my job in life. That was why I was born. Do you understand how I felt when she first told me that? That I couldn't choose to be good or bad? I HAD to be good. Bad wasn't an option for me. The hold universe rests on my hands? Not the peachiest thing to tell a little girl, especially one like me! I hated the fact that my mother did. And I really hated the fact that technically, I couldn't do anything to make it stop... I didn't know at the time that I could of just kill raditz with a finger. I had no idea, but I couldn't, cause I knew that the first life I took... it would not be the last." Lelu paused, tears began to fill her eyes, but she began once more.
"I knew that, once I killed someone, I would no longer be pure, but my mother never came back... she never did. Everyone left me, no one ever stayed with me! She told me she was immortal, and she'd always be there when I needed her. But she wasn't I was beat as a little girl, I was neglected, hated, I had no friends, everyone was scared of me. I didn't' want to grow up being the savior when everyone other than raditz was scared of me. I was going to be what the people wanted. Someone to fear, and I became that, out of choice? I don't think so. They feared me, and I let them. There's nothing terrible that I did that was so bad, that it- that it should of tore me apart, where I was no longer alive. But I was immortal... and I tried dyin endless times, I thought that it was some sort of joke. And I wanted it to all end. I didn't have the courage when I was little. But once I was, I did. I thought since my mother was immortal and died, then I could. I didn't care about being the savior of the dumb universe. And I still don't." Lelu explained as she began to cry. She fell to the ground, hugged her knees, and cried into her arms. "I just wanted to be a regular kid." She explained. "That-that was the thing that was so terrible." Rena muttered. "She didn't care about the universe, about one day stopping it from evil." She explained. "Lelu, I didn't know." Rena started. "I don't care Rena. I don't care if you call me a bimbo irresponsible brat..." she explained. all of a sudden, Lelu screamed, and twisted her body, and blasted the tree. "WHA!" sharpner shouted as he fell away from Lelu. Lelu suddenly got up and grabbed something and began to strangle it. it was the water demon.
"You annoying lizard! I am going to kill you!" Lelu screamed as she began to shake it wildly. "Lelu! Remember what you said. You said the first soul you took, it wouldn't be the last! Maybe the dragon is trying to help you!" Rena suggested. "finally someone who understood me." The dragon hissed. "Believe it or not, killing was the only way I got rid of pain." Lelu whispered as she threw the dragon to Rena and suddenly blasted herself in the chest. "Lelu!" trunks suddenly shouted as he grabbed Lelu before she fell. "I never left you." He explained. blood fell over her body as she starred at trunks trying to take in air. Tears still fell down her cheeks
"I-I thought you flew off." Lelu explained. "I did. But then, I couldn't. I heard the whole thing... I saw you standing up and strangling that dragon, then about to blast yourself... but I wasn't able to stop you... now I know how you felt when you couldn't stop raditz from killing your mother. I couldn't let you kill yourself. "I believe we're going to get married later on. And not you and VJ." Trunks explained looking at VJ with narrowed eyes. "Trunks..." Lelu whispered. Trunks looked back at Lelu. "What?" he asked. "I-I can't die." Lelu explained before she blacked out. "I know. I know." Trunks whispered as he picked her up. "How are you able to touch her?" VJ asked. "Rubber gloves." Trunks explained. "Interesting." VJ said in approval. Several days later, Lelu awoke with Trunks sleeping in a chair next to her bed. Suddenly, the door open to show goku-walking in. he sat on the other side of the bed in a chair. He turned it the other way and sat down, and rested his arms on the back. "How are you feeling?" goku whispered. "I'm ok." Lelu replied. "Trunks hasn't left your side since." Goku explained as Lelu looked up at the ceiling. "Am I a bad person?" Lelu asked turning to face goku. Goku looked perplexed by this question, but thought of it.
"No ones a bad person Lelu. Not even you. Everyone person that's evil, has a heart, which is good. You've been showing the good all this time when you wouldn't hurt the others." Goku explained. "But I didn't want to hurt them cause I'd feel the pain. I mean... I felt like hurting them." Lelu explained. "Yea, but you chose not to. See, you really wanted to kill that lizard thing, so you blasted it, even though you knew what would happen... you punched VJ when he made you angry, still the same thing. You choose you path Lelu, you can choose what will happen to you in the future, not some dumb prophecy that says you're going to be the savior of the universe. You can change that." Goku explained. "Oh, full moon..." goku stood up, walked to the other side of the moon and shut the curtains. "We wouldn't want you to be getting up while your not healthy, now would we?" goku asked smiling. "No wonder my mum told me to find you... YOUR the one who should be the savior... you or gohan at least." Lelu explained. "Nah, I'd probably forget about the job and eat, and gohan wouldn't have time while chi-chi's around. He'd be to busy studying or something." Goku smiled. "Destiny sucks huh?" goku asked. Lelu nodded. "Well... get back to sleep Lelu, the sun will rise in an hour or two. You need to be a fit as can, tomorrow; you can get a senzu bean from Corin. Cause tomorrow we have to train for the upcoming threat kraken." Goku explained. "Corin?" Lelu asked.
"Yea... he's the one who grows the senzu beans. Now rest." Goku explained walking over to Lelu and kissed her forehead. Lelu closed her eyes hoping that goku would jolt away from being burned. "Night." He said as he began to walk off. "You weren't burned." Lelu blurted. "What do you mean?" goku turned. "Well... when trunks or VJ touched me, they were burned." Lelu explained. "Dunno. Maybe we can figure it out tomorrow." Goku explained as he closed the door leaving the light from the moon flowing into the room from the curtains.
