~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dreams Of Innocence
Ch.8: A New Friend and a new enemy
The short, raven-haired demon was floating in her face, that's why she hadn't heard footsteps. "Hi, My name's Gohan!" (A/n: HA! Neva thought of that, didja?) Bulma was least to say surprised that a demon could be so happy and friendly looking. Startled, she recovered slowly, her composure easily plastering back into place.
"Umm..Hello there Gohan, I'm Bulma, nice to meet you," She put her hand out and the little boy shook it vigorously.
"So watcha doin' in the throne room? Do you have business with Vegeta?"
"I actually got turned around, I need to find a person by the name of Ranger, do you know where he is?"
Gohan nodded and smiled, pulling her along with his hand, flapping his wings furiously to stay in the air. "Of course I know where he is, everyone knows, he's one of the best fighters we have on the squad, He's detaining the angels in the prison at the moment though." After saying this, Gohan's voice went to a whisper and became filled with fear. "He says they're going to execute all the Angels in the interrogation room just to find some 'undercover' angel,"
Bulma realized that none of the Angels were guilty of treason against the demon king, and it filled her with pain to know that they would be decimated out of Heaven, and into nothing but a soulless ghost. God had told her that was what happened when an Angel or Demon dies: they become an empty vacuum of unhappiness, just floating with no existence. Her ocean gaze began to melt, but the blue angel held strong to herself, for though she was a demon outside, inside Bulma was just the same.
Gohan was interested with the new 'demon' he had just met, but was confused by her reaction to him stating about the Angels. He just shrugged, and then told her, "We better hurry if you want to get there before the interrogations begin. Ranger is one of the main people to stand at guard while the King is questioning the angels," Dark waves of blue moved as Bulma nodded her head numbly.
"Alright, where to?" Her voice wavered momentarily.
"It's just down a couple halls then a stairwell to get to the Hall. We can wait for Ranger and Bardock there," Gohan's voice swelled with pride, Bulma unknowingly wondered why.
"Who's Bardock?"
"My Father, he's the General of a militant of Vegeta's Armies, a whole 100,000 demons under his command," Bulma had never knew demons and angels could reproduce after they died, but people did say, that death was just the beginning.
"Let's go," Ms. Blue replied.
Gohan started to fly extremely fast, blue eyes flashing before Bulma took off after him, turning down corridor after corridor, quickly becoming lost but Gohan forever knowing where to go. As they approached a stairwell, Bulma's wings started to grow weary, but she stayed steady. After gliding down the stairwell, she landed beside Gohan. A tall man with a scar across his eye, and another on his cheek had stopped them from proceeding. He had onyx eyes along with dark hair that went down a little past his shoulders, held together in a ponytail. His eyes glazed over glancing at Bulma, drinking in her form with his irises.
"Hello there Yam-head, do we have business with you?" Gohan sounded annoyed with his tone, Bulma understood why. As she and her new friend stood there, this Yam-head seemed to be violating her very being with his eyes.
"It's Yamcha, you little brat," Yamcha was beginning to get on Bulma's nerves, so the brave Archangel stepped forward, glaring daggers in his direction. He was holding them up, and Bulma had much in mind to help in.
"Would you terribly mind if you moved out of our way, I mean to say unless we're in your way," Her 'demonic' wings began to spread, looking terribly intimidating, but sadly Yamcha just seemed more intrigued with her.
After some careful deliberation of his available choices, he picked the best one that could save him a bit of dignity in the eyes of the cherished blue 'demon'. He bowed to her and Gohan, moving to another hallway and smiled to himself as they passed him. Quickly returning to the hallway he had moved from, Yamcha distinctly heard the word 'Yam-head' in a voice that resembled the woman he had just talked to. She was fiery, with spirit he hadn't seen before, not to mention gorgeous. The scarred man had to have her. Something distracted him whilst Yam-head was thinking. A black feather floated down, and when he took it into his callous hand, the onyx color seeped from it, the feather now a pure white.
Before the demonic duo entered the next chain of endless hallways and corridors, They chuckled to themselves at how stupid Yamcha was. The conversation was cut short however when Gohan began to gaze aimlessly at her wings.
"Wow Bulma! I didn't know you could change colors!" Gohan looked in awe at her. Bulma panicked but kept a healthy tone.
"What do you mean, change colors?"
"You're wings are turning white, and your hair and eyes are becoming a lighter color," He continued to stare at her while she cursed herself, the hour was up!
"Gohan, we need to find a place to hide me, before we can go see Bardock and Ranger,"
"Why Bulma?"
She looked at him sagely, then replied. "Gohan, I have something to tell you…."

Well, Read and Review!
Should I make the chapters bigger? I was going to add a POV for Vegeta in this chapter, but I didn't know if that would be too much info for just one chapter, beside, I like cliffhangers.
Will Bulma be able to rejuvenate enough to save the Angels in time? Or Will Vegeta turn them all into slaughtered souls of the undead? Find out in the next chapter!
Luv ya, ~Forever Dawning
