Chapter 4: The Devil's Heart
Goku: EWWWWWWWWW!
Lark: Be quiet Goku.
Author's Note: Thank you for the reviews again. All the kind words are appreciated. Speacial thanks to Jon for sending me an e-mail about the story. Oh and sorry for taking so long to get this chapter out, I've been busy with the end of school and such.
Basic Disclaimers: I do not own the characters from Sailor Moon or DragonBall Z. Don't sue me. On with the story.
The devil's heart
Son Goku watched with a sad smile as the two immortal goddesses walked out of his friend's house. "Funny creatures those gods are," he thought.
"You're going to do something aren't you," King Nai said with a worried tone. Everytime Goku got involved in mortal affairs something tended to go wrong.
"Of course. I can't just let them go off and try to find the Dragon Balls all by themselves. I'm sure they could do it, but it would go so much faster if they would use Goten and Trunks to move them there instead of taking trains and boats all over the world," Goku exasperated. "And then there's King Darien who is sure to mess it all up somehow."
"You know me so well," a haugty voice said before its elegant body appeared.
"More than I want to," Goku muttered. "You should go King Kai," he added and the blue creature collected Gregory and Bubbles before waddling away.
"So I heard that you were planning to help the goddesses," King Darien repeated.
Goku nodded, "and I predicted that you would try to stop me."
"Isn't that my duty?" the ruler of Earth reminded him.
"Yeah I guess life just wouldn't have any meaning if you didn't try to screw with stuff every once and awhile," Goku said harshly, using his brain to call some clouds together for a seat. He could still recall the destruction King Darien had caused by planting the idea of Cell in Dr.Gero's head. Then there was the creation of the dark dragon balls. Goku hadn't enjoyed either of those expieriences.
"My, aren't we snappy today. Feeling the pain of your son having his heart broken by that wench of a witch?" Darien guessed.
"Hotaru had her reasons for leaving. I would have done the same in her position," Goku corrected.
"I thought you would see it that way," Darien mused. "I can't understand what went wrong when you were born Goku, all the other Sayians were never this stupid."
Goku ignored the insult and asked, "Why are you here King Darien? You don't usually warn me when you're going to do something."
"You mean I can't just drop by and visit an old friend?"
Goku laughed. "You could, except that you don't have any friends King." Darien pretended to look hurt for a second then smirked at the lazy warrior.
"Ah there you are wrong, all of the inner planet queens are quite infatuated with me, including my wife, I'm sure you have heard that we have a daughter now?"
"Yep, what did you name her again? Rini? Sounds like a cream puff to me," Goku said and as if called upon a twinkie appeared in his hand.
"I see you have come to see the greater points of being a deity," Darien noticed. The godling seem to have grown very accoustom to being able to control matter and space in his world.
"It's okay," Goku agreed. "But back to the subject, why are you here?"
"I wanted to make sure you did not involve yourself with our affairs," King Darien explained, pretaining to affairs of the planet gods.
"I won't, I'm going to involve my self in the affairs of my son and his friend," Goku countered with a mocking tone. "You may forget sometime Darien but part of being a good parent is helping your kid do the right thing." Goku then dismissed the god and turned back to Earth, ready to remind Goten and Trunks of Hotaru and Michelle, then send them on a little mission before the gods got too far ahead.
"Uh uh uh," King Darien said, shaking his finger in a tsk-tsk motion and using his powers to bind Goku to the chair he was sitting in. "I can not have you going around and undoing all of my demolishing."
"Of course because it took so much of your energy to allign those crystals while everyone else was partying their hearts out," Goku argued, trying to struggle out of the bind but without much success.
"Goku, Goku, why do you have to talk so much, you hurt my feelings," Darien said with a cruel jeer and sent a shock of darker power through the ropes. Goku didn't speak but Darien could see by the sweat that was showing on his forehead that the shocks were doing their purpose.
"So what are you going to do Darien? Kill Michelle and Hotaru?"
"No you idiot. I can't kill them now. Your son and his little stupid purple haired friend has ruined any chance of that happening." King Darien cursed then spat on Goku's pondering face.
"What do you mean by that?"Goku asked but wasn't really sure that the babbling god had heard him.
"Michelle's unstoppable now. She's protected by Trunks' power. Hotaru, thank goodness for her cold little heart, is only half protected by Goten* because he likes her but she is unwilling to return the feeling. Then I could get the...." the insane ruler paused, rolling something over in his mind, "Yes!" he yelled triumphantly, "it's creative enough to be a blockbuster movie."
[*This is why Goten could hold Hotaru without her bursting into flames. Sorry,continue reading.]
"What are you going on about you physco?" Goku said.
"You shut up," Darien said and delievered another burst of pain. "I need time to think about it before I explain it to someone as slow as you." The King sat down right there and in his mind went over the plan again and again, making sure there were no loop holes.
"Are you done yet?" Goku inquired harshly.
"You're lucky I am or I would have made you suffer for interrupting. Would you like to hear my expert plan? It's quite a good one, even for me," Darien jabbered. "See I can have your two boys follow the goddesses as my minions, they'll remember Michelle and Hotaru only this time they'll be out to kill them instead of kiss them."
"But I thought you said that Michelle and Hotaru were invisible now?" Goku contridicted.
"I was getting to that but then you had to speak," Darien said and zapped Goku again. "Anyway, I am the proud owner of the Devil's Heart."
"Ewwwwww," Goku whined.
"You fool, not a real heart, it's a knife. Arggh, why do I talk to you," Darien wondered. "The Devil's Heart can pass through any sort of protection, including love. I could easily destroy Hotaru and Michelle that way except that they would know who I was a mile away with all of the power that I have so I will need to use stelth mode and kill them throught two people, namely Goten and Trunks."
"But Hotaru will read their minds and know what they are going to do," Goku reminded him.
Darien smiled and squezzed the Sayian's cheek, "Don't you see, I think of everything my little dissapointing creation. Goten and Trunks won't even know what they're doing until it's too late."
"You're really bad at letting go of grudges huh?" Goku observed.
Darien didn't answer and turned Goku's chair so that he could watch the "fun". The King pointed his slender finger at the sleeping Trunks and suddenly the boy woke up with a jerk. Then Darien also found Goten napping on the couch and did the same to him.
"Now we'll watch. It'll be just like a soap opera," Darien mused.

"BRA!" Trunks yelled, pounding on his sister's door.
"What?" she called with an annoyed tone.
"Have you seen Michelle?"
"Michelle?" Bra repeated. "Who's she? One of your imaginary girlfriends?"
"I'm not kidding Bra, where're Michelle and Hotaru?" Trunks asked again, angry with his sister for joking.
Bra popped her head out of her room and glared at Trunks, "I don't know why you're mad at me, I didn't loose you invisible girl toy." She shut the door with a slam.
"Trunks, have you seen Hotaru?" Goten asked, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"No and neither has anyone else, Bra doesn't even know who they are."
"Yeah I asked Vegeta and he just gave me this weird look, wonder what's wrong with all of them," Goten said.
"I don't know," Trunks shrugged.
"Has anyone seen the DBT (DragonBall Tracker)?" Bulma asked in her usual bosterous voice.
Trunks and Goten were quiet for a second then looked up at eachother at the exact same time.
"You don't think.."
"No they aren't that stupid, they wouldn't go off to find the Dragon Balls by foot," Goten finished.
"Unless they wanted to keep all of us safe. That would explain why no one remembers them," Trunks added. "Oh my God we have to find them."
Goten nodded and they both bounded down the stairs. "MOM! We're going to the....the..."
"Library, big test coming up!" Goten supplied and they both bolted out the door.
++++
Michelle looked out over the water and tried to keep a straight and positive out look on the whole adventure. We're goddesses, what could go wrong? As long as Darien didn't get involved there wasn't much that could get in their way.
"I'm back," Hotaru announced, walking up behind Michelle with a large breif case of what Michelle guessed was her money. Hotaru had kept many accounts open over the many years where she kept her money that she won from the lottery.
"Well then," Michelle said and began walking to the sports car that was parked on the road that curved into the beach.
"Are you mad with me?" Hotaru inquired, following the mermaid's quick pace.
"No," Michelle said too easily for Hotaru to believe it. "I just think that we should have brought Trunks and Goten along with us."
"But what is Darien showed up? We wouldn't be able to defend them, they could die," Hotaru argued.
"I know, I know," Michelle said and climbed into the driver's seat. "I just really liked him. Could we visit?"
Hotaru chuckled which made Michelle feel a little better, "Yeah, we'll visit. Maybe they can even come to our planets."
"Maybe," Michelle drawled and started the car up before driving down the road
towards the highway.
"Michelle!" a voice called above the two girls. "Michelle, LOOK UP!"
"Are you messing with my mind Hotaru?" Michelle asked, shaking her head.
"No," Hotaru said and looked back to her book. Michelle just nodded and
continued to drive.
"HOTARU WOULD YOU STOP DRIVINTG!" another guy demanded.
"Huh?" Hotaru thought and looked around.
"LOOK UP!"
Hotaru finally sighed and looked up, keeping her hood from falling back. "MICHELLE, STOP DRIVING!"
"Why do you keep saying that?" Michelle inquired and slowed down the car, turning off the highway.
"Hi girls," Trunks said, landing on the asphalt.
Before Michelle could explode with happiness Hotaru asked the obvious, "What are you two doing here? How do you even remember us?"
"My father must have done something," Goten shrugged. "We came to help you find the dragon balls."
"No you can't," Michelle objected.
"Oh now you agree with me," Hotaru added and Michelle just rolled her eyes.
"Why not?" Trunks inquired.
"Because if Darien comes t stop us we'll have to protect you and we don't want either of you to die," Michelle explained.
"We can take Darien," Goten decided.
"Sure you can," Hotaru said sarcastically, trying not to hurt their feelings, "Two mortal Sayians verses the god of their planet who has more power than you can even imagine."
"We fought you," Goten said weakly.
"My darling Sayian," Hotaru said, gliding her hand that was over shadowed by silk along his arm, "You find a deserted island that is at least 500 kilometers from any sort of civilazation and we'll battle, then I'll show you true power."
"I'll take you up on that when you find the right place," Goten said, grabbing onto Hotaru's hand, but the vampire pulled it away quickly.
"IOf you're going to come with us neither of you can touch my skin," Hotaru ordered and both of the Sayians looked confused.
Michelle saw that Hotaru was tending to her wound and explained, "Your energy comes from the sun which means your protected by the sun energy. Hotaru, being a vampire, doesn't do well with things that involve sunlight."
"But that night," Goten started.
"There are some odd cases when...when Hotaru likes you and the sheild breaks down because her energy over powers it or your energy also covers her," Michelle added quickly then jumped back as Hotaru tried to wack her on the back of the head.
"Oh," Goten said with a simle.
"Either way you two can't come with us," Michelle repeated. Trunks shrugged and gestured to Goten to hold onto the car. Suddenly their surroundings evaporated and the the group reappeared a few miles outside another large city.
"We're coming anyway," Trunks argued and Michelle just laided her head against the steering wheel.
"I thought you were the sensible one Trunks," Hotaru reminded him, "You're suppose to understand and convince Goten not to go."
"I like to surprise people," Trunks responded. "Here, we'll make a deal. Goten and I will help you get the first 7 dragonballs then we'll take you to the last location and leave."
[A/M-Are there 8 ragon balls or 7? I like totally forgot and I'm too lazy to go look on a website.]
Michelle hesitated then glanced at Hotaru who could only shrug her shoulders, there was apparently no way to change their minds. "Fine, get in the car, I have to drive some."
"Yes!" Goten and Trunks said in triumph and hopped in the back seat.
This is a mistake, Hotaru shared the thought with Michelle and the mermaid could only nod in nervous agreement.
++++
"Isn't this wonderful?" Darien exclaimed, jumping up and down much like a two year old around the captured Goku.
"You know you're a sick, sick man," Goku said and received a well deserved body zap.
"God, no man could come up with a plan this brilliant. Now if you don't mind I have to go retrieve the Devil's Heart from my castle.Don't try to excape because I'll know and then I'll have to kill you too," Darien warned the silent warrior and dissolved in a puff of green and blue smoke.
++++
The group of teenagers arrived in the city Bangledesh, feeling quite out of place in their clean clothes and mettalic blue sports car. "Boy do I feel like a jerk," Goten whispered as the town folks stared at them with wide open eyes that screamed hunger.
Hotaru only observed the children who were wandering around aimlessly without parents or any other care taker. If she turned just a few into vampires they would never have to worry about hunger, they could even spread and cure all the illnesses. As if Michelle had read her mind the mermaid quickly shot the idea out of her mind.
"It's not your place to save Darien's planet," Michelle said. Hotaru nodded and walked by all of the ghostly faces with her characteristic detachtment.
"Acoording to the DBT we're extreamly close to the dragonball," Trunks murmured, looking around for the yellow ball of light.
"And there it is," Hotaru said, pointing towards a temple. On the top was Dragon Ball #5, sheding what small light it had on the dreary town.
"We can't take it, look how attatched the people are," Michelle pointed out. The other three nodded. There were about 20 people bowing to the temple.
"I have an idea," Trunks said. "We could pretend to be gods and give them something to replace the dragonball."
"Yeah, power up," Goten suggested. The two sayians did it without much hesitation. However Michelle and Hotaru backed up a little, making sure no one was within a 10 foot radius.
"Look away," Michelle advised the two Sayians and they turned their backs. "I haven't done this in such a long time, how about we only go 1/3 of the way" she confided in Hotaru.
"Okay," Hotaru agreed, then added "Like I've done it recently," she smirked but began to consentrate, feeling the heaviness of her power in the air. The air on the back of her neck stood on end and slowly her short hair also rose above her neck. She looked over at Michelle but all she could see was a swirl of deep blue clouds and gas.
Michelle spun around quickly in compact circles and she could feel all her power rise to the surface of her body, weaving together to make a protective layer of clothing. Slowly the midnight colored clouds thinned and she landed softly on the ground. "I forgot how cool this feels," she commented and looked down at her clothes. The blue dress had disappeared and now she was wearing a white leotard with a blue mini skirt. Floating next to her was her only material weapon, a golden bow and case feeled with arrows.
[A/N-I know Michelle is suppose to have a mirror, but really how much fighting can you do with a mirror?]
Hotaru was finished soon after Michelle and was wearing the same clothes only with a purple theme. Also instead of a bow and arrow the vampire had a long handled silver scythe that reflected light off the shimmering metal.
"We're done," Hotaru announced and the two boys turned around and tried to contain their shock.
"They get more clothes?" Goten whined as they walked closer to the temple, "and weapons. Boy did Darien jip us."
Hotaru wrapped her slender arm around Goten's neck and whisperd in his ear, "You could join me, I'm not kidding about joining the dark planets."
The soft trace of Hotaru's breath invigorated Goten and he could feel his energy rise a little in excitement, "We'll talk once you have a planet to live on."
"Whatever works for you, I have eternity," Hotaru said and removed her arm. She enjoyed being powered up, her energy cloaked her skin so well that there was no reason for the cape and she could put her hands all over Goten. I didn't mean that, she contridicted herself and then made herself pay attention to the task at hand.
"Can you do that Hotaru?" Michelle asked.
"Do what?" Hotaru asked because she really hadn't been listening.
"If Goten, Trunks and I send a ball of energy into eachother and create a ball can you frezze it solid?" Michelle repeated.
In her mind Hotaru went over her powers when she had this much energy and nodded slowly, "Yes I believe I am capable."
"Cool, lets go," Trunks said and the four unearthly beings floated to the top of temple where the dragon ball was waiting. The worshipers below murmured in wonderment, waiting to see if the four gods were good or bad.
Hotaru grapped the dragon ball and stared at it, using her magic to keep it in the air above them while the other three consentrated their powers together and pushed it all into a globe shape.
"Now Hotaru," Trunks instructed and Hotaru stared at the swirling mass of colors, imagining putting plastic rap over it all, which is what she really did with her magic.
"Done," she declared. Michelle grabbed the floating dragon ball then grabbed onto Trunk's arm.
"Where to next Goten?" Hotaru asked, also holding onto his arm.
"Las Vegas. That should be more fun," he commented before they evaporated into thin air.
++++
Goku looked around, getting a little hungry. If Darien had been here he would have given the Sayian the food. Darein wouldn't want Goku to starve and miss the chance to see his son kill a goddess and probably die.
"KING DARIEN!" Goku yelled and Darien actually popped back into the limbo world. "Hmm, didn't think that would work."
"What do you want?" Darien asked with an irritated tone.
"I'm hungry," Goku said simply and smiled when Darien cursed under his breath. It was fun to annoy the snotty king. Darien waved his hand and mounds of food appeared in front of Goku. "Thank you."
"Whatever, how are our four teenage heros fairing?" Darien inquired.
"They have numbr 5 and now they're going to Las Vegas for ball number 2," Goku explained, munching on a nacho.
"All good, I still have time," he decided and disappeared again.
++++
Michelle landed softly in a hotel lobby with a few strange looks from customers and bellhops. "Hotaru," she whisperd, hinting for the vampire to warp the public's minds.
"Okay," she agreed, "We should detransform first though." She slowly let all her power go back into her center and quickly put on her cape and sunglasses. After that she warped everyone's minds and they went back to their own business as if nothing had happened.
"Are you positive it's here?" Trunks asked, looking around for the dragon ball.
"That's what the machine says," Goten told him then added to Hotaru who subcounious rested her arm on his for balance, "Are you okay?"
Hotaru shrugged and continued to search through the bell hop's mind for any hint. Michelle looked over at Hotaru and sighed in annoyance when she realized that the vampire was loosing energy and she would need to feed soon.
"Maybe we should do something else before getting the dragonball," she suggested, "like take showers and get new clothes."
"Girls," Trunks and Goten said at the same time, recieving a glare from both Michelle and Hotaru.
"Forgive us for wanting to be clean," Hotaru snapped and went up to the front desk. "We need two rooms for one night," she said in perfect English. The man nodded and handed her two keys. Hotaru, feeling unusually nice actually paid the man instead of playing with his mind.
"Where did you get all that money and since when do you speak English?" Goten asked in wonderment.
"The lottery and all gods have to be multi-langual," Hotaru said and handed him one of the keys, "Our rooms are across from eachother if you need food or anything."
"Let's go to a club tonight, I hear they're suppose to be really cool in LA," Trunks suggested.
"Sounds good to me," Michelle agreed as they stepped into the elevator. "We'll meet outside our rooms in two hours?"
"Two hours?" Trunks repeated in disbeliefe, "What do you need to do?"
"Showers, shopping, I need to eat," Michelle explained then took out some money and handed it to Trunks, "That should cover your stuff."
Trunks counted it. "I hope so," he said, 700 dollars would be more than enough.
"Have fun," Hotaru said and opened the door to the room she was sharing with Michelle.
"You too," Goten said and winked. Hotaru smiled seductively then walked into her room.
"You two are so weird," Michelle observed.
"He's fun to play with," Hotaru argued and slipped off her cape when she saw that it was already night time in LA.
"Yeah, sure," Michelle said and disappeared into the bathroom. Hotaru walked around the room then laid down on the clean bed. She looked at her arm and moaned. It was pratically white and felt colder than it should have been.
"Michelle, I need to eat soon," Hotaru informed her room mate.
"I know, I saw you leaning on Goten when you were going through everyone's minds for the dragonball. That's why I said we should go out tonight," she explained. Hotaru nodded and turned on the television, waiting for the shower.
++++
"I just don't get her," Goten said to Trunks who was brushing his teeth at the moment so he didn't respond.
After spitting Trunks sighed and leaned on the sink, "Goten, Goten, my poor, simple minded boy. Hotaru just lost her husband and son all over again, you shouldn't be flirting, you should be comforting her."
"Then why does she keep coming on to me?" Goten contridicted.
"Maybe it's some vampire goddess thing," Trunks shrugged.
"But what if it's not," the poor boy thought with nervousness, "What if she does like me and I don't respond, then she won't like me and," Goten continued to babble but Trunks zoned out until he was done.
"Just breath man. If she likes you then you'll be able to tell, trust me," Trunks said and walked out of the cramped bathroom.
"Yeah that's easy for you to say," Goten muttered and Trunks gave him an icy look. "What? You and Michelle only spent like two hours making out before they left."
"I guess you're right," Trunks said with a smile, "but it doesn't matter because as soon as we get the other dragonballs they'll go home."
"Maybe we can visit," but then Goten thought a little more, "or not."
"Not," Trunks decided sadly. "But there is tonight."
Yeah, Goten mused, Tonight. He couldn't wait to dance with Hotaru again. She was so much looser when she wasn't paying attention, just dancing. "We should go soon," he said.
"We have to shower first," Trunks reminded him. Goten nodded and turned on the water in the tub/shower. He was done after a few minutes and let Trunks go. Soon they were ready to go get something to eat.
"Where can we go? We don't speak English," Trunks said.
"Maybe Hotaru or Michelle can like mess with our brains so that we understand," Goten guessed.
"Let's go ask," Trunks suggested and they walked out of the room. The lavender boy knocked on the hotel door. He could hear the water running which meant that they were still there.
"Yeah?" Michelle asked, peeking out at them. Both of the Sayians blushed when they saw she still only had a towel. Why does this always happen to me? Michelle wondered and looked at Trunks expectantly.
"Uhm about going out to dinner, we need a way to speak English," Trunks explained.
"Oh right. Well Hotaru's in the shower and she's the one who can do all the mind things."
"You're lying MICHELLE!" Hotaru yelled from the bathroom.
Michelle grimaced and cursed under her mouth. "Gimme a second." The door was closed and the mermaid opened it a few minuets later, now wearing Bra's dress again. "Hotaru, stay in the bathroom, I'm going to teach the guys English," Michelle informed her.
"Okay," Hotaru said and Trunks watched in amazement as a pile of clothes moved by themself into the bathroom.
"Vampires, always showing off," Michelle scoffed with a friendly tone. "Listen, I have this power to control minds by singing so I'm going to sing and a move things around in you brains so that English will be your first language. You won't be able to speak Japanese but that's probably okay."
Trunks and Goten just looked at her with a stupor grin and Michelle laughed. She took in a deep breath and let out a low and somewhat mournful note. She could see that the boys were adjusting and she took another breath. After a few minuets it was done and Michelle spoke quickly in English, "Feeling better, no head aches or anything?"
"Woah," was the only thing that Trunks said. Michelle laughed and helped both of them up.
"You should get over the shock soon enough. Remember to meet us here at 10," she said and shoved them out of the room.
"Being in love with a goddess has its perks," Trunks commented.
"Sure does," Goten agreed. "We should go now I guess."
"Yeah, we'll eat first then go ..shopping, eh," Trunks thought in disgust.
"You have no idea," Goten said and they walked down the hallway to the awaiting city.
++++
Later that night Hotaru and Michelle walked down the street, taking a special intrest in the dark alleys. "Maybe I don't really need anything, it could just be a reaction from the traveling."
"Hotaru," Michelle said in her motherly voice, "You're white as paper and your skin in frezzing, you need to eat and this is the perfect place to do, look at all pimps who deserve to be attacked."
"I guess," Hotaru sighed. She looked over to Michelle to say something else but the mermaid interupted her.
"Oh no."
"What?" Hotaru asked.
"You're eyes are black," Michelle warned her.
"Damn it," Hotaru thought. That meant that she was going full fledge vampire, soon her hormones would begin to kick in, making her especially flirty and alluring.
"Come on," Michelle said, dragging Hotaru down another dark street. There was whislting and cat calls which made Michelle wvwn happier. "Pick one," she hissed.
"Okay," Hotaru said and walked over to a man who looked like he wasn't extreamly poor, just a dope head pimp.
"Hi baby," he sneered, looking the vampire up and down, liking what he saw.
"Hi," Hotaru greeted back in a little girl's voice, walking purposely closer, licking her lips. "What can you do for me?"
"Anything you want," the man said, standing up and grabbing Hotaru's waist.
"Good, that's just what I wanted you to say," she sneered and wrapped her fingers around the man's thick neck. Goten feels so much better than this, Hotaru thought, which caught her off guard. That allowed the stranger to begin to glide his hand to the line of her underware. Oh no, I don't think so, Hotaru mused and tilted the mans neck to the side, exposing the thinner flesh. Her canines elongated and she bit down deep into his neck.
"Kinky bitch," the man grumble and tried to push Hotaru away. She wouldn't move now, not when she was in the middle of feeding. "Holy shit!" the man yelled and again tried to struggle against the girl with no avail. Michelle walked up to him and hummed a long note to keep him quiet while Hotaru finished up.
"Done yet?" she inquired after a few minuets.
There was no answer for awhile but Hotaru did pull away and let the pimp slump against the wall into a drozzy sleep. "Done," she said.
Michelle looked at her, trying to figure something out.
"What?" Hotaru asked.
"We need to get the blood off your mouth," Michelle reminded her.
"I came prepared," Hotaru said and pulled out a wet-nap.
Michelle looked at the vampire with a questioning look, "You really need to get off this planet, it's starting to effect your head." Hotaru glared at her playfully and they walked out of the dark alley. Michelle looked over at Hotaru, seeing that her eyes were still tinted black. Maybe her being a little more friendly will be a good thing the mermaid thought hopefully as they walked down the street and into a 'posh' store.

A/N-Kinda short concidering I took like a month to load it. Promise I'll have a longer one out soon. Adios. PLease review and someone tell me how many dragonballs there are.
