Gohan' Friend or Foe? Chapter 2

He was lost in the dream of calmness and peace. He slept for days, many days of calmness and relaxation. He felt he was riding on a cloud of mist. It felt so soft, so peaceful, no thought, no worries. All he knew was if he ever fell off this cloud, terrible things would happen.

But eventually he did fall, he fell lower and lower, until. "Gohan!"

Gohan opened his eyes, everything was dark, it was raining, he could hear the loud pitter patter of every drop of water. He stared around, everything was blurry.

"Eat this, open your mouth" whispered a soft, sweet voice.

Gohan opened his mouth, he felt three fingers slip into his mouth, and place a something small and sweet inside. He started biting, a funny taste but it was better than some things he had tasted before. He tried to open his eyes yet again and saw bright blue eyes and bluish- black hair. He went closer to her looking deep into her eyes, her look was dark, cold and empty but her eyes seemed to be full of hope, life and love. It was the look he had always seen in Videl, every time he was away from her, He leaned forward, pressing his lips against smooth, soft, glossy lips, it tasted so good, so sweet, so wonderful, but she pulled away, she looked at him. Gohan couldn't tell what she was thinking, her look, completely eerie, mixed with confusion, yet sadness and happiness at the exact same time. Gohan turned away.

He looked around, he was in a small cave, dark and a bit wet; the stone was damp and had small berries growing around it. Then he saw two small dark shapes lying near a small lit fire, he approached carefully and saw Goten and Trunks lying on the ground sleeping peacefully. Gohan sat down on the floor, trying hard to think back to before he had woken up, he remembered, he had just finished eating and he heard music, a soft low whistling noise, and he had felt relaxed, but his energy had been drained out of him. He looked at Zi. Had she purposely hypnotized me so I fell asleep? He thought, maybe there was a reason behind this, maybe she had to get me out of the way so she could save Goten and Trunks.

"I'm sorry for making you sleep" said a voice. Gohan looked up at her, "I had to, it was the only way I could fool Leena into believing you were dead." Zi frowned sadly.

Gohan felt confused, "What? You killed her?"

Zi shook her delicate head. "I merely weakened her." She stared into his eyes. He is cute, but his mind seems unstable, he doesn't know what he wants, he's life is messed up. "We should get some rest," she muttered distinctively.

Gohan sat down and stroked Goten's hair, he felt so hopeless, the earth was under attack and all he could do was sit in a cave.

Zi opened her mouth to say something but shut it again, she slowly took off her coat and walked over to Gohan and sat down on her knees, she placed her cloak around Gohan; to his surprise it was actually quite warm. He looked into Zi's eyes once again; she looked back at him, both of them slowly leaning closer and closer, until Gohan just pushed himself forward and kissed her intently. He tasted that beautiful sweet taste again only this time it lasted longer, he put his hand around her neck pulling her ever so closer. His tongue squirming around her mouth, her lips pressing against his. Only pulling his lips away to kiss her neck. She moaned loudly, but then she pulled away, she shook her head and gestured towards Goten, he was moving, awakening. She went towards him and stroked his hair. And shook her head in front of Gohan.

"Mom?" Goten moaned. Gohan patted his head gently, Goten looked up at him. "Gohan," he whispered, he looked groggy like he had just thrown up.

"We'll leave at sunrise." Zi muttered, quietly. Gohan nodded as she gave Goten a piece of the tiny pink candy she had given Gohan. "There's a cave down south, around 5km. It would be easy to fly there, we need water, and we cannot drink the rain water. Leena would have caused the rain." Zi firmly looking at Gohan's reaction.

Gohan opened his mouthed and asked, "how?"

"She is happy, she knows I am here, I weaken when I must protect those if whom need protection." She said silently. "When she is happy it rains, when she is not flowers bloom, if we destroy her, peace will approach us and for those we care about." Gohan stared at Zi, she turned away. This was a hard time for her, she knew Gohan's heart was still with a mortal named Videl, she had watched them from the heavens, strolling through parks, holding hands, and she herself had someone special back home. His name was Vagataz, he loved her more than anything in the world and she would never betray his trust. "I can take Trunks, you take Goten, he would still be a little exhausted." She said. Gohan nodded.

Gohan sat down and put Goten's head on his lap while Zi sat with Trunks, who was still sleeping soundly like a baby. Gohan looked at Goten, why did you have to be here little brother? Why couldn't you be at home, safe with mum, why couldn't I be alone with Zi? She's so calm, so peaceful, yet she seems strong, I can sense her energy, its far more magical than Leena's power, she could destroy her but she says she can't, I find that pretty hard to believe. But what if we left now and dropped Goten and Trunks off at the earth's watch tower, then I could ask her if she would like to spend a night at a hotel with me, just so we could train or something

"I really think we should take Goten and Trunks to the watch tower," Gohan said quickly, he held his breath, "Then maybe I could show you around in the city?" he added.

"It's fine with me," she shrugged. "Maybe we could find a motel or something to stay in, I've got some money I can trade in." she muttered.

"Yeah, that's cool!" Gohan said, now he was excited, he could spend the night alone with her on they're first day that they met, she's so beautiful, so sweet, so irresistible. She is nothing compared to Videl.

Zi heard a tiny snap hollow sound inside her head, she knew what it was, Gohan was free, which meant only one thing, he didn't have feelings for Videl any longer. Zi hesitated, did he like her or was he just trying to move on- her heart halted what if he did like her? What if he really cared? Well they had just met a couple of days ago, and she had put him under a trance, how could he like her? That was just plain stupid.

Gohan looked at Zi, she seemed upset, but why? Maybe she thought he was going to have to pay for the hotel, maybe she wouldn't go with him, maybe she thought that since he loved Videl and that he wouldn't want her to come with him. Gohan sighed, maybe it was time to go back home and leave Leena to Zi and just hang with Videl and his friends, just go to school .school, then he remembered he could ask her to the dance, the dance was a ball type formal coming up (he was going to ask Videl, but it wasn't like she really cared), Zi seems a little up tight and not relaxed, she needs to let go, kick back and sit down and have some fun. Then again, when an evil warrior was trying to take over the world, it wasn't really a time to relax. "Maybe we should fly to the watch tower right now," Gohan said, "we could find a hotel if you want, then we could come up with a plan to destroy Leena." He blurted.

"Gohan, can I come too?" Goten whispered wearily.

"Well, Goten I don't think mum would want you to fight after what happened." He answered.

"You've been sleeping for days, almost a week," Zi said quietly, "I don't think you really should fight again." Goten frowned.

"I want to go home Gohan!" he cried. Zi stood up and muttered something and Trunks slowly rose off the ground and she picked him up, his bruises still bleeding faintly, Gohan wondered why she hadn't healed him. She took out her whistle and blew a very low note. Then out of no where, a thick long stick grew long fine thistles and she hopped on, "You're coming aren't you?" she asked. Gohan carried Goten and nodded. They flew to the watch tower and dropped them off, thanked Dende; he said Piccolo was out, so they flew into the city. They found a very fancy hotel, where you had to have a jacket, Zi gave Gohan her coat again and they paid and went inside they're room. Zi gasped as she saw two beautiful silky beds, beautiful, just beautiful. Zi, who was exhausted took off her coat and unbutton the top three buttons on her top, exposing part of her black lace bra, she lay down on the bed, and shut her eyes. Gohan who was watching her every move took off his shirt and climbed onto her bed touching her all over.
