Claimer: (Dances from side to side) I do own Cheena so there!
Author's Note: To Ashton Toope: You asked me if I was making Cheena more mature then Goten. I'm really not trying to make her seem more mature then Goten but keep in mind that even though they are the same age, that doesn't mean they have the same personalities. Goten takes after Goku in looks as well as in smarts (not to say that Goku is dumb or anything). Cheena takes after both her mom and dad. She is as smart as Chi-Chi and has the determination in battle as Goku. She's always looking for a good fight..like any Sayian. I hope this answered your question and if not tell me when you review or e-mail me.
Author's Note2: Thank you so much to all that read Chapter 35 and gave their opinions about what they wanted to read. After reading each review I have made the final decision. A special thanks goes to ChocolateEclar. You gave me a good idea in your review for the last chapter so I'm going to use it. Again thanks to all that told me what they wanted to read. Without further delay, here it is, Chapter 36. Enjoy and as always see you at the end of the chapter.
"C'mon Gohan! Are you just going to stand there or are we going to go?" Cheena asked as she looked at her brother. "Uh Cheena.." Gohan started as he looked at her. "We don't have time for talking; we have to fight Buu before he hurts anyone else now let's go" Cheena said. "I'm taking Gohan back little one, not you" Kabito said as he looked at her. "What?" Cheena said softly as she dropped her arms to her side. Sighing, Gohan walked over to her and knelt down in front of her. "Why did he say that Gohan? Doesn't he know that you and I are a team?" she asked him as she looked into his eyes. "Look Cheena, you and I are a team. There is nothing the two of us can't do together but this is one thing that I need to do alone" Gohan said. Water appeared in Cheena's eyes as she looked at him. "But..but I've been training really hard and I know I can help" she said. "I know Cheena but it would be better if you stay here, you understand don't you?" he asked as he reached up and cupped her face in his hand. Cheena shook a little as she looked at him. "Gohan please let me go with you. I want to help and I promised mom I'd.." Cheena couldn't continue as she thought about her mom and the promise she made to her. Small tears fell down her face. Gently Gohan wiped them away. "Just stay here with dad and the Kai's ok. I'll be fine without you!" he said. Cheena looked at him then over to the Kai. "If I wasn't going to go back then why did you bring me here?" she asked. "You wanted to come and we were looking out for you" said the Kai. Cheena just glared at him before looking back at Gohan. "Just stay here, ok?" Gohan asked. Nodding her head in defeat Cheena backed away from him. Unhooking the power pole case from her back, Cheena held it in her hand. Taking one final look at Gohan she slowly walked away. "Aren't you even going to wish me good luck?" Gohan joked as he stood up. He hoped to get her to smile at him and try to be happy. Cheena stopped in her tracks but didn't look at anyone. "Goodbye Gohan!" she said softly as she continued to walk away.
Gohan couldn't help but shiver as he watched Cheena walk out of his sight. "She's pretty upset" he said as he looked at his dad. "Gohan you cannot worry about her right now. You have more important things to worry about" said the Supreme Kai. "The young one is important, Kai" the Old Kai said. The Supreme Kai looked at his older form then down at the ground. "You're right elder Kai, Gohan I'm sorry!" he said. "It's ok Supreme Kai! We better get going" Gohan said as he looked at Kabito. "Right!" Kabito replied. Gohan turned and looked at Goku. "Well this is it dad! Take care of Cheena for me and tell her I'm sorry" he said. "Cheena will be fine! You just take care of yourself!" Goku said. Gohan smiled as he moved in and gave his dad a goodbye hug. Pulling apart, Gohan walked over to Kabito. Goku gave Gohan a thumb's up before he watched him and Kabito disappear heading back to Earth.
Unknown to everyone Cheena didn't walk as far away as first thought. Staying as low as possible, she watched her dad and brother embrace in a hug before Gohan disappeared with the Kai. "How can dad say I'll be fine? I already lost my mom to Buu. I should have been there for her but no, I stayed with Gohan and came here." She clenched her fists in anger as she looked down at the ground. "How could I be so stupid? The Supreme Kai and Kabito told me that I was training to help defeat Buu and now I get left behind while Gohan goes against Buu alone. I bet they knew all along I wasn't going back. I've already lost both my parents and I'm not going to loose my brother as well." Making sure she wasn't seen she strapped her power pole back onto her back. She watched as her dad, the Supreme Kai and the elder Kai watched what was happening on Earth through the crystal ball. A sly smirk appeared on her face as she turned away from them. "Kabito said he wasn't taking me so I guess I'm taking myself" Placing two fingers on her forehead, she disappeared heading off to help out and keep the promise she made.
Back on Earth, Gohan headed towards Buu. Now wearing the same gi outfit as his dad, he was determined to defeat Buu. "It's all up to me!' he said as he started to feel Buu's tremendous energy. Over at the battle scene, Trunks and Goten were no longer the formation of Gotenks. "We can still take him; look at him, he's sleep" said Trunks as he looked at Buu. Just as he said, Buu was laying on the ground fast asleep. "Boys we should get out of here before it's too late" said Piccolo. "Oh c'mon Piccolo, we can take him..it'll be 3 on 1" said Goten as he clenched his fists. Before Piccolo could respond he looked up at the sky. "Do you boys feel that?" he asked. "Someone's coming but who?" asked Trunks as he also looked up along with Goten. Landing in front of the boys, Gohan had as smile on his face. "How's it going?" he asked. Shock plagued the faces of Piccolo, Trunks and Goten. "Gohan, you're alive!" Goten yelled he ran to his brother. Bending down in front of him, Gohan embraced Goten in a hug. "I'm glad you're alive; I thought Buu got you" Goten said. "Alive and well little brother!" said Gohan as he gently pulled Goten off of him and stood up. "Where's Cheena? Is she alive too? I want to see her!" Goten asked with a huge smile on his face. Gohan looked at the happy expression on Goten's face and knew he just had to tell him. "Well Goten, Cheena is alive but she.." Gohan started. "..but she wanted to make her own entrance" Cheena finished. Everyone had a shocked look on their face as they looked at Cheena but probley no more shocked then Gohan.
Back on the Kai's planet, Goku's eyes grew wide as he looked at Cheena. "What is she doing there? I thought Kabito wasn't taking her back?" he said as he moved in close to the ball. "I guess she's smarter then we give her credit for" said the Old Kai. "What do you mean elder?" the Supreme Kai asked as he looked at his older self. "Remember, she learned a lot of new things while she was here" he replied. "Of course! She used her new Instant Transmission Technique" said Goku as he looked at the elder Kai. Nodding his head yes, the Old Kai just watched the scene in front of him. *What is she doing here?* Gohan asked himself as he clenched his fists in anger. "CHEENA!!" Goten yelled as he ran over to her. The two embraced in a warm hug before pulling apart. "I thought you were dead!" Goten said. "Nope, just hanging around with the Supreme Kai and look at the nice clothes he gave me" she said as she spun around modeling off her outfit. "I want one too!" Goten said as he folded his arms across his chest. "Maybe Kabito will make you one too and look at what else I got" Cheena said as she unhooked the pole from her back. "Cool!' said Goten as he reached out for it only to have Cheena pull it away. "Hey!" he said as he looked at her. "Sorry, but I can't let anyone touch it! Only I can!" said Cheena. "Yeah right! You're just being stingy! Gohan, make her share her toy!" Goten complained as he looked at Gohan. "This is not a toy! It has magic!" Cheena said as she glared at Goten. "It looks like a toy to me!' said Goten as he reached for it again only to have Cheena pull it away again. "Let me see it!" Goten yelled. "No!" replied Cheena. Goten growled as he charged towards Cheena. She ran away with Goten in hot pursuit after her. "GIVE IT TO ME!" he yelled. "NO!!" Cheena yelled back as she continued to run. Cheena ran over to Trunks and stood behind him. Looking back at her, Trunks turned and looked at Goten. "Leave her alone, Goten! If she said you can't touch it then you can't touch it" he said. Goten stopped and looked at Trunks. "Yeah, this is no time for games!" said Piccolo. "Fine!" Goten said as he stuck his tongue out at Cheena who did the same. Watching him walk away Cheena walked around Trunks and stood in front of him. "Thanks!" she said. Scratching the back of his head, Trunks looked down at the ground with a smirk on his face. Just as Cheena was about to say something else, someone spun her around.
"What are you doing here?" Gohan yelled as he glared at her. "I'm here to help!" she said as he looked up at him. "I told you to stay with dad!' Gohan said. "I know what you said but I said I came here to help so I'm here" Cheena said. Gohan looked over at Goten, Trunks and Piccolo, who were all looking at him and Cheena. Grabbing her arm, he pulled her to the side. "Listen, go back to the Kai's planet and stay there" Gohan said once he was sure they were alone. "And what about Goten, Trunks and Piccolo?" she asked. "Forget about them! This is no place for.." he started. "..for who? A girl?" Cheena asked as she clenched her fists. "No this is no place for you because you can get hurt" said Gohan. "The same thing that can happen to me can also happen to Goten or even Trunks so I'm staying and there is nothing you can do about it" Cheena said as she attempted to walk away only to have Gohan pull her back. "Cheena why are you doing this?" he asked. This one question fueled anger in Cheena as she looked at him. "Why do you think I'm doing this? I'm doing this for mom and all the people he killed..including Videl!" Cheena watched as Gohan's angry face developed into a shocked one. "That's right! He killed everyone by turning them into chocolate bars and eating them. Look I won't get in the way but I'm not going back to dad. I'm going to be right by your side because I'm not going to loose you too" she said. Gohan let a smirk creep onto his face as he looked down at Cheena. "How are you so smart?" he asked. "I learned from the best" Cheena said as she smiled at him. Before anymore words could be said, Goten interrupted. "Gohan look, Buu's awake and he's looking at you!"
Gohan turned away from Cheena and looked at Buu. Slowly he walked over to him until he was only a few feet away from him. Cheena ran over to where Goten and Trunks were standing and stood beside them. "We can't let Gohan fight him alone! Cheena, let's help him!" Goten said as he looked at his other half. Shaking her head no, Cheena looked at Goten. "He can do it Goten! He's been training for this, you'll see!" she said. Goten looked at her before turning his attention back to Gohan. Through the corner of her eye, Cheena noticed Trunks looking at her. Turning her head quickly she caught him looking at her. Trunks jumped back and looked down at the ground. "What?" she asked as she looked at him. Trunks raised his head and looked at her. "I'm just glad you're ok" he said. A smiled appeared on Cheena's face as she looked at him. "Thanks!' she said as she looked back at Gohan. A smile appeared on Trunks face as he looked at her before preparing himself to watch the most intense battle in history.
Author's Note3: Well that's it for now! What did you think? Tell me when you review! It'll be Gohan vs. Buu and don't think Cheena won't have anything to do with this because you and I both know she can never stay out of anything. Tomorrow is a very busy day for me so expect the next chapter either Thursday or on the weekend. Thanks for reading and I'll see you the next time around.

Gohan smiled as he moved in and gave his dad a goodbye hug. Pulling apart, Gohan walked over to Kabito. Goku gave Gohan a thumb's up before he watched him and Kabito disappear heading back to Earth.

"I'm glad you're alive; I thought Buu got you" Goten said. "Alive and well little brother!" said Gohan as he gently pulled Goten off of him and stood up. "Where's Cheena? Is she alive too? I want to see her!" Goten asked with a huge smile on his face. Gohan looked at the happy expression on Goten's face and knew he just had to tell him. "Well Goten, Cheena is alive but she.." Gohan started. "..but she wanted to make her own entrance" Cheena finished. Everyone had a shocked look on their face as they looked at Cheena but probley no more shocked then Gohan.
