"Well I'm no expert that can't be right can it?" Kakarott questioned. "Ah but I guess I don't know the ways of these strange human folk so it could be normal I guess…but it sure isn't very nice to laugh at someone else's misfortunes!"
Kakarott scratched his head as he tried to figure out the reason for the character's strange behaviour. "Maybe my keypad could help me figure out this guys behaviour…"
Kakarott started to fumble about in his jean pocket to locate his keypad when he heard a blood curdling scream call out for help. Deciding to look for the keypad later, Kakarott took one last look at the man in front of him, surprised to see that the man appeared to be smiling, committed his image to memory and headed off towards where the sound was coming from.

Oh Kakarott…what have I done? You have only been gone a few hours and yet it feels like eternity to me. I never realised how strong the bond between two lovers was…until you left.
I can't believe that I used to complain practically every minute about you. Never once except in the height of passion did I tell you that I loved you. Only at times when I felt my soul pouring out of my body did I tell you that I cared.
Sometimes I wonder why you decided to stick with me. An ogre…that's all am I. Ah…someone stop these tears…oh Kakarott I am so sorry….
Kakarott…'

As Kakarott turned the corner he almost fainted at the sight before him…buildings had crumbled to the ground, blood was everyone and a few faint cries of survivors could be made out amongst the chaos.
'Who ever caused this was pretty strong.' Kakarott thought as he trundled ahead. Putting one head behind his head he gave a brief smile, "Well at least some people survived…owww!"
He clasped the back of head as a searing pain raced through it. Looking around to see where the blow had come from he was surprised to see an elderly woman, in tears and clutching a handbag, glaring at him out of the corner of her flowing eyes. "How ever could you think that this is a time to smile?" she enquired, tears falling down her cheeks, "my husband was in one of those buildings and now I don't know whether he is alive or not!"
Feeling ashamed of his actions, Kakarott apologised quickly. "I'm sorry madam, please let me help you to try and find him."
Without waiting for a reply, Kakarott ran off in search of the woman's husband.

Inside the large entertainment room of the sky was a grand number of young angels, all preparing themselves for a day they would never forget.
Stood at the front of the room was Gohan, sweating with stress and anxiety. Moving one hand across his forehead to remove the perspiration from his face, Gohan coughed authoritatively and the room fell silent.
"As you all know, the next few hours will be the most important of your eternal life. Now…I know some of you are anxious but you have nothing to fear…angel-mating rituals are delicate and gentle. In the 1000 years of my being, I have never heard of anyone being seriously injured or killed by such antics. However, just to be safe…be careful alright?"
A loud murmur ran through the gathering of angels. Judging by the way that some of the youngsters were situated very close to each other, it seemed that some of the white figures had already chosen an acceptable mate. A small number of cloaks were stood in one corner, detached from the others and appearing very frightened and bewildered by the events.
Gohan smiled as he noticed the expressions on their faces. 'Those kids in the corner remind me of Kakarott.'
Addressing the room again, Gohan told the kids the basic angel rituals and the circumstances they could face and how to overcome them.
"Also remember that your dominant and submissive sides will kick into gear around now. When you have found a suitable mate one will take the dominant role, the other the submissive. Don't worry about not knowing what to do once you get into the bedroom…your second brain will take control so just enjoy yourselves."
Watching the group of angels filling out of the room, Gohan shuffled his speech papers together and stepped down from the stage at the front of the room. He jumped suddenly when he heard a loud clapping noise coming from one corner of the room.
"Oh…it's just you Goten," Gohan said, putting one hand to his chest to try and slow down his beating heart. "So…er…what did you think?"
Goten walked slowly towards the other angel and grinned. "It was good Gohan…reminds me of our 'talk' when we were younger."
Gohan gave a small smile back. He disliked the older angel who held a far superior rank than him. He remembered how Goten had tried to take him as his mate. Gohan was glad that things hadn't turned out like that.
"So then Gohan…back to your room now huh?"
Gohan nodded his head slightly, "I've got some paper work to get through on a new soul I just brought in and then I thought I'd have an early night."
"Ah yes…the great Kakarott isn't around then? Ah…what a shame…you'll be all alone in that room. Would you like me to come up and…" Goten whispered in his ear, "…keep you company?"
Gohan shivered uncontrollably and pulled a disgusted face. "No thanks Goten, I'm sure I'll be fine on my own."
"Ah…pity…well just call me if you want me. You know where I'll be."
And with that, Goten left the room.
Sticking his tongue out at the closed door, Gohan sighed. "Better get to my room and get the paperwork started. I hate this part of the job."

"Maybe I should have asked that woman what her husband was called or something before I took off like that," Kakarott said to himself as he circled the rubble of the skyscrapers for the fifteenth time. Sighing, he decided that looking around wasn't getting him anywhere so, searching around briefly for any signs of passers-by and noticing none, Kakarott quickly used his angel powers and started to disintergret the rubble in the hope of finding someone alive buried underneath. He knew the chances were slim but he just couldn't stand by and not do anything.
Vegeta, on the other hand, could. He had only just calmed down from his laughing fit earlier and now surveyed the destruction and damage he had created with a sense of pride. He had a feeling that they would be trying to figure out what caused the disaster for ages and then would probably blame the attack on someone else. "Stupid humans, always blaming each other, don't have the brains to look any further."
Clicking his teeth together to make sure that his fangs were still hidden from human eyes, he strolled over to the centre of the disaster to admire his handiwork in full. Upon entering the site, he heard a small cry call out, seemingly coming from the underneath the rubble. Clasping his hands together, he rubbed them together in glee. 'Good,' he thought, 'someone else to terrorise.'
Slowly Vegeta lifted up the rock from the floor, revealing the small, blood covered face of a frightened child. The poor thing looked no older than ten and was coughing in a dreadful manner from having inhaled so much dust. As he had no sympathy or compassion in his soul, Vegeta simply smirked at the child and said, "Where are your parents little one?"
The child shook its head and replied in a small voice, "I don't know sir…they were standing next to me when I heard this big noise and everything fell down."
Vegeta smirked again at the child's naivety. "Well I think I know where they have gone, here take my hand and I will lead you to them."
A small smile lit up the child's face and the small girl tried to remove herself from the rest of the rubble surrounding her. Finally freeing herself, she grabbed onto Vegeta's hand and, no sooner had she done so, she started to wail in pain and agony. Vegeta kept a tight grip on the girl's hand as the poison contained within his skin filtered into the body of the little girl. She sobbed and pleaded for him to let go but her requests fell on deaf ears. After a few minutes, Vegeta let the girl's limp body fall to the ground and stared at her face, still distorted in pain. "Ah…the perks of the job," he laughed and quickly disappeared.

'Why didn't I keep my door locked? I should have known better than that. I mean after all, there are some of the youngsters that can go a bit too overboard and try to mate with an elder. I guess I thought I'd be safe…
I wish I'd kept my door locked…oh…Kakarott….'
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Placing the last piece of paper on top of the pile of work on his desk, Gohan yawned. Looking at the clock on the wall, he sighed as he noted the time.
"Eleven…mmmm…I guess I better get going to bed."
Looking over at the empty bed, he sighed again noticing that it didn't look so appealing without Kakarott in it. He laughed as he thought about how Kakarott used to jump up and down on the clouds like a little kid when he was excited about something.
"I hope you'll come back soon Kakarott…I'll deny this under oath but…I miss you."
"Guess I'll just have to fill his place in for now then, won't I?" A dark, lust filled voice said.
Jumping and turning around, Gohan gasped as he came face to face with Goten.
"Pleased to see me?" Goten asked, watching as Gohan walked backwards until he bumped into one of the walls. Looking around for any sort of weapon, Gohan gasped with fear as he noticed that there was nothing he could use.
"Mmmm…what's the matter Gohan? You know…you shouldn't be scared of little old me. I'm no threat…honest."
"I…told y..you I didn't…want…you here Goten," Gohan stuttered as he watched Goten walk closer to him, pinning him against the wall by placing both hands on either side of him.
Chuckling, Goten smiled, "Ah well yes…I thought that my needs were far greater than your words. Come on Gohan…be a god boy and make this easy for me."
"NEVER!" Gohan spat in Goten's face causing Goten to remove his hands to wipe the saliva from his face. Gohan ran across the room and was nearly at the door when he felt something hit his back and he slumped straight to the floor.
"Ah…that's better. Can't have you running away again can we?" Goten laughed again as he saw the angry look on Gohan's face. "Oh…don't be so upset Gohan, you can move a little bit…just not enough to escape ha ha."
Moving his head from side to side, Gohan tried to formulate a plan to rid himself of this devil in angel's clothing. Watching him fearfully, Gohan almost cried when he saw Goten walk over to the door and lock it.
"Just to be safe," he said, "oh…and Gohan…I wouldn't try calling out for help…at this time of year, I doubt anyone would take any notice."
Slight tears fell from Gohan's eyes as he realised that Goten was right…there was no way that he could escape. Closing his eyes so that he wouldn't have to see anymore horror, Gohan cried out when he felt a sharp slap hit his face.
"How dare you close your eyes! Keep them open or I will hit you again!"
'Kakarott, please help me!' Gohan cried out as he received another slap and fell into unconsciousness.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Kakarott couldn't believe how much easier the job was with his angel powers. He wondered how on heaven regular humans coped with such catastrophes. Using another one of his powers, Kakarott closed his eyes briefly to see if he could find any traces of heat energy emitting from the rubble. This would indicate whether a body was lying underneath. However, no sooner had he closed his eyes, he heard a terrifyingly loud cry that didn't see to come from anywhere around him. The cry came again, and again…Kakarott opened his eyes…
"Gohan? GOHAN!"
