***Prologue***

The Earth shuttered only a little as power so intense cut throught it's surface. The creature known as Cell was blown away and destroyed by a boy. Yet not one person, human or other, saw the soul of a creature with no soul travel half-way across the world to enter a woman. Soft brown eyes filled with tears stopped as a strange feeling came over her. When her mind had finally caught up with her body she knew that even things of darkness needed a chance to live in light.

***Part 1****

Son Gohan had not been having a good day. Several circumstances had made him, for a lack of better words, late. He ran trying to get to his class one time but he neglected to see another person coming around the corner. The person was small so that Gohan ended up falling on top of them.

The first thing that Gohan had seen of the person was their eyes and for a moment his heart almost stopped. Purple eyes, eyes the color of the same creature that had killed his father, looked up at him through green bangs. And for an ironic moment Gohan thought that the hair was the same tint of green as Cell's skin had been.

Gohan jumped off the person he had been resting on and actually looked at them. Close inspection reveiled a very femine, delicate boy with green hair that had been braided down his back. The boy was blushing furiously at what Gohan thought was embarrassment.

"I am so sorry for running into you," Gohan said as he picked up the books the boy had dropped. "Its alright," the boy managed to get out. Gohan picked up all the boy's books and handed them to him. The boy blushed even more as Gohan handed the books over. "Thank you," was all the boy said before escaping.

Gohan then remembered he had somewhere to be. Since it was the first day the teachers where allowing students in late. Gohan sighed in relief as he took a spot next to a blonde boy. To his surprise the same green haired boy that he had run into appeared in the doorway a moment later.

The boy took a seat in the row before Gohan and set his things down, then the teacher began to call out the roll. "Son, Gohan."
"Here"
"Yuy, Cell." The whole class got wide eyed at that strange name and eagerly waited to see who shared the name of the famous creature. To Gohan's and the class's surprise the green haired boy answered. "Here"
Gohan's mind began to contimplate the facts. Who was this boy?

One thing for certain although he shared many characterisics with the real Cell the boy was totally opposite. Judging by how he had acted in the hall and the way he seemed to want to disapear now, Gohan figured that he was timid and shy. Not all like the loud creature that he had destroyed so long ago. The day went by but Gohan still observed the green haired boy.

When it came time for gym in the boys locker room Gohan found something slightly amusing. The gym uniform was to big for the small delicate Cell. Even the smallest size they had has two sizes to big. Gohan made a decision and walked up to the smaller boy. When he was noticed the smaller boy blushed and looked away. "Here you can use this belt." Gohan said getting the attention of the green haired boy.

Cell took it from Gohan and said," Thank you," in a small voice. Gohan smiled at the boy which caused him to blush more. Why Gohan couldn't figure out. After Gohan's amazing catch, Cell came up to bat. The pitcher grinned and yelled "Easy out!" The green haired boy looked annoyed for a minute, before getting into position.

Everyone except Gohan was surprised when Cell not only hit the ball but it busted under his strength. Of course the other boys where afraid of both Gohan and Cell the rest of the game. But this had made Gohan even more aware of the strange boy.

He resolved to go to Bulma's house and talk to her about it. As he was about to leave the locker room he was surprised by hand. He jumped back slightly startled. But found himself looking at Cell. "Thank you for letting me use your belt," he said in a timid way.

"I have a question," Gohan said hoping to get some answers.
"Yes," the purple eyed bishounen said.
"How old are you?"
"I'm fiveteen my birthday is in two days."

I am wrong then this boy was born long before Cell, Gohan thought. He decided, though, that the manner needed a little more investigating. "My name is Gohan."

The green haired boy seemed startled for a moment before smiling. "I'm Cell."

That would start a friendship that shouldn't of been.

I have lost my mind. I never thought that I would be writing a DBZ fic. I don't necessarily dislike the series in fact I have seen quite a few episodes.(I didn't really see this episode just the recap so please no fuss with the timeline.) When this idea came to me I dismissed it until I thought how unique it would be. Just so you know the reason that it is not yaoi entirely is because...well, that would spoil the story. Just be assured that it is not entirely yaoi. Should I continue this or not?
