line..cell didn't happen)
Sitting around the table was the son family. Goku was stuffing his face, Chichi was quietly munching, and Gohan was holding his spoon, but just staring at the table. Then he looked up at Chichi.
"Mom.I've been thinking. I want to leave home. I want to go travel around."
"Now Gohan, I know why. You want to find Videl, but honey, you have to understand, Videl is a very popular name. And you're liable to get hurt, since all these people know what you did." Chichi decided.
"I won't let them know it was me! Besides who's gonna be strong enough to be any threat?"
"Yes, but Videl has probably moved on, and you should to."
Gohan stood up from his seat. His eyes narrowed and he stared directly at Chichi.
"Never tell me to forget her. Never." Gohan said calmly, but twitching a little.
~ That night Gohan packed his things and while his parents were sleeping, he left. Out side Goku was waiting for him.
"Dad." Gohan stumbled.
"I figured you were going to leave tonight. Were you not even gonna say bye to your dear old dad?" Goku reported.
"Sorry dad, but I thought it would be easier if I just left. I've never been good at saying bye to people."
Goku smiled.
"I understand." With that Goku teleported into the darkness. Gohan frowned but forced him self to take to the sky. It was cold, windy, and Gohan didn't want to stop to pull out his coat. He was afraid that if he stopped, that he would have an urge to go back home, and that was something he just couldn't do. He decided to try and get the coat open while flying. This proved to be harder than he thought. He grabbed the coat, but a small comb fell into the woods.
"Damn it!" Gohan muttered.
The black comb was the one Videl had used eight years ago. She had left it when the thin man took her from the Son house and to an orphanage. Videl had been rejected from going back to her old house because of her relation to Chipp's death. Instead she roamed through foster houses. Most of the fosters gave her up because she was connected to Chipp, and everyone was scared that the "murderer" would come for her. Finally they found someone who took Videl in, and never wanted to give her up. But, just to be on the safe side, they gave her a new name, Shinaru. Unfortunately these people also have another child. And they always tend to that kid needs, leaving Videl a bit neglected, and lonely.
As the comb hit the ground a girl was just near it, and she picked it up and brought it home. She brought to a small apartment in Satan City. The apartment was dirty, and looks as though not very rich people occupied it. The girl was about 20, and had a little sister of 17. He parents always listened to her, because they were kind of scared of her. She had after all been to prison twice. Her sister was sitting, alone, in her room, while her parents talked in the kitchen. The parents stopped talking as their "beloved" daughter walked through. They resumed their talk as she went into her sister's bedroom. Laying on her bed staring at the ceiling, in complete darkness was the girls' sister.
"Hey Shinaru, come here!" The girl called.
Videl, I mean, Shinaru got off her bed and rolled to the floor.
"What do you want Naka?" *Shinaru* asked smiling.
"Teh.you sit in this room, in the dark, and your smiling?" Naka replied.
"Well, I always try to be happy!" Shinaru exclaimed.
"Yeah, I know, but why, you don't exactly live a cheery life."
"Some one told me to always be happy for them, right before they left. So I honor that request."
"Man, you remind me of a guy I met in prison. He was always talking about a girl that he had to be happy for, even thought they were apart. The guy was always thinkin' about that girl. A little too much for my taste. (Remembering her kiss, that ending with her hitting the wall.)
"Really? Do you remember his name?" Shinaru asked (secretly hoping it was Gohan)
"Um, I think it was Go...*Shinaru's eyes brightened. "Go..Goraku. Yeah that's it's. Course I have a horrible memory." Shinaru's eyes sunk. She had really thought it was Gohan, but oh, well.
"Oh, hey, I found this out it the woods." Naka informed Shinaru.
She handed Shinaru the comb.
"It fell into the woods from the sky or something."
Shinaru inspected the comb, and then realized that it was HER comb, that she had left at Gohan's home, as a small reminder. She could tell it was hers, because not only was it black, it had a smooth thin line of red metal. If looked closely upon, the letters V & G could be seen. She had etched them into the comb the day she left. Eight years ago.
Seeing Shinaru's face Naka figured that she probably wanted it So Naka got up and left the room.
"It came from the sky.hmmm." Shinaru thought.
Then her mind went to that day, when Gohan flew high into the sky.
"If it came from the sky! That means Gohan must have dropped it! Which means he's somewhere in the city!" Shinaru was overcome with a sudden burst of energy which sent her flying from her room through the hallway and out the front door. She stood on the outside balcony staring into the night sky.
"Your somewhere out there Gohan. I just know it."
