When Gohan had finally awoke, he was still in the darkness, but at lest it was conscious darkness. He was blindfolded. He tried to move his arm to get rid of it, but found that he couldn't. He was handcuffed as well, very stong ones too, seeing as he couldn't break them. Then he felt a soft glide across his cheek.

Usa....I didn't think she bought into this kinky stuff...

And then he felt a pair of lips on his own, only they tasted strange. Blood.

Oh my God....Mistress 9.....

He quickly turned his head to the side, trying to spit out any of her taste left in his mouth.

She cackled as she removed his blindfold. "What'sa matter Saiyan? Not like my kiss?"

His ki level instantly jumped to Super Saiyan. "You sick bitch!! Where did you take me?!!! WHY did you take me?!! Why didn't you just kill me?!!!"

She giggled like a little schoolgirl. "Where did I take you? Oh, I don't think I can tell you that just yet. Why did I take you? Heh, even you should know that."

He sneered at her. "Why can't you use someone else for your perverted little games?"

"Because I want you, dear. Right now you are the most powerful male on this pitiful planet, and I am the most powerful female. Our child would obviously rule this galaxy...maybe even this universe!"

Gohan felt like he was going to be sick.

Oh Hell no....

Mistress 9 glared at him. "Don't think that I can't read your mind. I'm not that sickening, am I? If you can fuck that CUNT of a girlfriend, then you can surely fuck me."

That was it. After that last statement, Gohan's lunch was definitely on the floor. The thought of making love to....that....THAT!! It was just too much for the sixteen year old to bear.

He had known many an evil in his life, some stronger than he, but none so perverse, so disturbing to dare try a stunt like this.

He tried to tug some more on his handcuffs, but accomplished nothing. He could tell he had done something to him while he was unconscious to weaken him. He realized it was taking a lot of strength to even keep his head up. What had she done to him?
Mistress 9 frowned at him. "I was originally going to slaughter that chicken shit Chibi Moon, but if you play nice, there may be a chance for her."

She kneeled down to him on the floor and gently stroked his face, a deep purr in her throat. He was planning to hawk spit in her face, or bite her, or something that was equally nasty, but he didn't have the energy for it.

Her mouth formed a cruel smile. "Will you be a nice bitch for me?"

He looked off to the side.

Usa will die if I don't do this....she might die anyway...but she might have a chance if I do what she says....

He slowly, reluctantly, lowered his head and ki, as if to say that he surrendered.

Mistress 9 grinned, showing all of her stained teeth. "Wise choice."

He gave a small whimper as her tongue invaded his mouth, probing, tasting, devouring. Disgusting. Gohan heard a very small, serene voice in the back of his mind, his conscious.

You're being a coward.

He argued with it.

No! No! I'm saving Usagi!

You're giving in. Don't deny it.

There isn't any way around it...

But you can still try....you can always still try...

His conscious was right, he could still try. He bit down as hard as he could on her tongue, taking a pretty big chunk out of it, and spit it right back at her.

She almost felt like ripping his spinal cord out of his back, but thought it over, and let it slide. She still needed him.

She growled at him. "I think you should think over my offer, Saiyan, unless you want to watch me cut out your girlfriend's lungs. I'll be back."

With that, she turned around and stormed out of the room. Gohan gave a sigh of relief, he was safe, for now that is.

Random thoughts were running through his mind, mostly about Usagi and Goten....Goten....GOTEN!! That was it! He could try and contact Goten through telepathy to at least tell him what was gong on, and that he was alive. At least he thought he could....

Goten? Can you hear me?

At the house, once the residence of Minako, Goten and Usagi were sitting on the couch, clueless to the situation about them; and then the little boy heard a strange voice from nowhere, that sounded an awful lot like his big brother...

Goten....Can you hear me?

Well, the best thing to do when someone is talking to you, even if you can't see them, is to respond.

Yes...I can hear you....is that you Gohan?

Yes.

Goten started hopping up and down. "Usa!! It's Gohan!! He's in my head!!"

She sighed. "You finally lost it kid..."

"No!! Really!! It's that tele-phoney, tele-scopey, tele-somethin'!!"

Usagi smile, practically beamed. "OH!! Telepathy!! He's alright?! What did he say?!!"
"I don't know, he- wait! He's saying something again!"

Could you tell Usa that I love her?

Goten rolled his eyes. "All he said is that he loves you. Ick."

"Well tell him that I love him too, but more importantly, where IS he?!"

Goten skipped the "I love him too" part, he hated mush.

Where are you?

Where am I? I honestly don't know...

Goten turned back to her. "He said he didn't know. Listen, I'm getting a little tired of this whole middle-man translator thing, so give me your hand," he commanded.

"What? Why-" but she was cut off as Goten firmly placed her palm on his forehead. She gasped as she could now hear Gohan's voice too.

Gohan! I'm so glad you're okay!

She heard silence at first, and then him again.

It's so good to hear your voice Usa...

Gohan, if you don't know where you are, then at least tell me about your surroundings.

Gohan looked about him, he had been confronted with too many things before to notice. He discovered that he wasn't in some dungeon, or equally nasty place, but was somewhere Mistress 9 would never be worthy of: A sanctuary.

He began to describe it to her.

Well...there's a lot of angels on the walls....lots of gold and silver....I can see a window....all of the trees are bare, it's very cloudy...and there's this huge crystal statue...there's a scripture on it...it says "....And gold shall lead to silver, and in turn silver to gold, and both shall drive away the impurities and follow the path to Utopia..."....

Usagi cupped her mouth, she knew where he was. She also knew that scripture. "Silver and Gold." Selenity and Endymion. She had gotten her first kiss there, her first true henshin. It was the same place Mistress 9 had killed her beloved, a place that had once been beautiful.

Under her breath, she faintly whispered, "Elysian..."
