Naka left the dazed Shinaru for a minute to call 911. The ambulance
arrived just shortly, but when they asked what had happened to Shinaru,
Naka was hesitant to tell the truth. Since Gohan had a criminal record,
she figured he would be charged with attempted murder. So Naka lied, and
said she didn't know, she had just found Shinaru like that. Naka could
tell the man didn't believe her, but he didn't press the matter, at least
not yet.
A couple hours Shinaru came to, and was immediately interrogated by the doctors.
*Who did this to you? What happened? Do you have any previous suicide attempts? Do you remember anything that happened?*
Shinaru got frustrated with all the questions that she yelled at them to all shut up. She ran the event over in her mind. It didn't make sense to her. Why would he have tried to kill her? Did he even hear anything she said to him? Where did he go? Will he ever come back? Did she miss her chance to reunite with him? Reunite. Now she wasn't so sure that she wanted to get back with him, what if he tried to do it again?
"I...I don't know who did it, I didn't see their face." Shinaru sighed.
One doctor, or perhaps it was a cop or something had done a little research on Shinaru. He made his way to the front of the line and looked seriously at her.
"Is it true that your real name is Videl?" The man said.
"Yes sir." Shinaru replied.
"Ok, is it also true that you were witness to the murder of Chipp Sakano?"
She nodded.
"Well, do you think maybe this man Gohan, the man who killed Chipp; do you think he did this to you?"
Shinaru paused, part of her said to tell the truth, the other side wanted to protect him, but the protective side won.
"No, I don't think it was Gohan." Shinaru answered as calmly as she could.

Gohan flew to the forest outside of his house. He stopped over the small river that he went to every night. Sitting on a stone, Gohan stared into the water. He wandered to himself out loud. "What's happening to me?" He asked himself.
Gohan's eyes narrowed in wonder when a picture of little 9 year old Videl appeared in the water. This mirage brought him comfort, but then brought a slight fear when it twisted into a mirage of Shinaru.
"Does this mean that..Shinaru is.No, she couldn't be? If she was, she would have told me. Right? I mean she would have no reason to not tell me. But there's Reinoko, so Shinaru can't be because that would mean Videl broke her promise to wait for me. What if she did break her promise? No, she wouldn't do that, she couldn't do that, why would she?"
Gohan thoughts were disturbed when something hit the river, causing a large splash. Gohan jumped to his knees when he saw a weird figure floating above the water.
"Who are you?' Gohan called out.
In a deep less than human voice it spoke;
"Time for pretty to make her choice, you must be there to see her fall, cause it may be you who will lose it all."
"What are you talking about?"
The figure shot towards Gohan at a tremendous speed. Its hand latched out and covered Gohan's mouth. Gohan couldn't breath, or shake himself free. The figure lifted him, and he became drowsy, until all he could see was blackness.
When Gohan awoke, he was in a small glass cell. Outside of the cell was a cold cement room. On the other side of the room, Gohan saw Reinoko in a similar cell. The strange figure was no where to be seen. Gohan tried to punch and blast his way out, but nothing worked. He kicked it, and gave it the Kamehameha wave, but nothing worked. The glass wall was left without a scratch.
~ Shinaru was sound asleep in the hospital bed. She had been told she would be released in the morning, but that she needed rest that night. Shinaru's peaceful sleep was cut off when her window crashed in. The same figure Gohan had seen now stood directly over Shinaru. His movement was so fast Shinaru didn't even have time to scream before it removed her from her bed and into the night sky. All became black to her as well.
When Shinaru came to, she was in the middle of the cold cement room. First she saw Reinoko looking at her from behind the glass cell. She ran up t o him, rather slowly; she was still recovering from Gohan's attack. She went up to the glass.
"Where are we Reinoko?" Shinaru wondered.
"I don't know, but who ever that guy is, he sure does want a lot of us here." Reinoko replied.
"What do you mean a lot of us?"
Reinoko pointed behind her. She glanced over her shoulder at see Gohan in a cell across the room. Shinaru gasped. Suddenly she heard a voice. The same deep voice that belonged to the strange figure.
"Welcome pretty, hope you enjoy your stay here." It called to her.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Shinaru demanded.
"What don't you recognize me?"
The figure stepped into the small amount of light that shone into the room. Shinaru almost screamed when she saw Chipp in the clearing. He looked as though he was still alive. But he wasn't. Shinaru had seen him splatter on the ground. How could he be standing before her?
"I don't understand." Shinaru managed to whisper.
"Well, let me clear it up for you then, pretty. You're in the world of the damned. Welcome to a little place called Hell.
