Yes, I am incredibly slow, and I need to be shot.

Now read the story

Hehehehe

~~~~~~~~~

Viola'tch and her husband were taken before Heaven's answer to a courtroom and put in chains.

"Viola'tch Jasa. You have smuggled a Devil into Heaven- the worst possible crime you could commit. Why did you do this?"

"Jasa'tch is a good man! he was just mislead!" she pleaded to the Head angel, a formidable looking female Nekojin. 

"Mislead? He must be pretty stupid to be mislead through three hundred years of violence and murder."

"But I love him!"

"Love has nothing to do with this! He committed a lifetime of crimes for which he gets an eternity in Hell. you broke his imprisonment. Now you have to go down with him." Viola'tch looked horrified.

"What?"

"Those are the rules."

"But…what if I told you there was another Devil hiding in Heaven!" blurted out Jasa'tch.

"Hush up!" Viola'tch hissed.

"If I did, would you let me stay in heaven with Vi?" The head angel snorted.

"No. Take him away!" as the couple were dragged away, the Angel council stood and turned to go.

"Do you think he was telling the truth about there being another Devil up here?" one asked.

"No. Just ramblings of a desperate man."

"I still think we should look into it."

"Do as you wish, but I'll have nothing to do with it."

"Come on Vegeta! Please come out!" Goku pleaded through the door of the gravity room.

"No!" Goku sighed.

"Please?" his spirits were raised as he saw a shadow move towards the door. But then Vegeta just put his finger up at him through the glass. "Aww come on! I didn't mean it!"

"Yes you did!"

"I was angry that's all. My friend got captured and sent to hell and I might be next, and you were standing by the window happily staring down at two police Angels!"

"So you'd just give me up to them if they came then would you? What, you would say I broke in or something would you?!"

"I'm sorry! How many times do I have to say it?" no response. "Vegeta…lets just forget it ok? Talk about something else?"

"Fine. Why did you run away when I kissed you?!" Goku groaned and smacked his head on the gravity room door. "When you, seconds before, were as good as feeling me up?!"

"I wasn't! I was getting you back for doing it to me! and I wanted to stop fighting and you wouldn't!"

"So you don't feel anything for me?"

"You're my friend!" wrong thing to say. Vegeta backed right away from the door and sat at the far side. Goku scowled, wings twitching in frustration. "VEGETA GET OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!"

"That's your new approach to this? Shouting? It's not very good is it?"

"VEGETA!"

"Tch. Still shouting?" Goku had had enough. He didn't bring Vegeta here to have arguments with him. he knocked the door down, leaving Vegeta looking very surprised. "What are you…GET OFF!" Goku had grabbed the scruff of Vegeta's hair and was pulling him outside. "Kakarott stop! You're hurting me!" Goku stopped. He let go of Vegeta, who wasn't expecting it and fell to the floor just outside the gravity room.

"I…I'm sorry Vegeta." Goku bent down as Vegeta edged away from him. Vegeta kept edging backwards until he was up against the wall. Goku crawled closer slowly. "I'm sorry about everything." He ran his fingers through Vegeta's hair, stopping at the back where he had hurt him, and looked at him with apologetic eyes. Vegeta just scowled and moved his head to the side and up to jab Goku with one of his horns. Goku flinched but didn't remove his hand. "Please say something Vegeta."

"Piss off." Goku smiled sadly at him. he knelt even closer and kissed Vegeta slowly.

"Ok. Whatever you want Vegeta." Goku whispered, getting up and heading towards the door. Vegeta wanted to stop him. he wanted to get up and wrap his arms around Goku, but his pride held him back and he watched Goku leave.

Once out of the building, Goku took in a deep breath and wondered where the hell he was going to go to give Vegeta some space. He was also wondering why he had kissed him. it was wrong! I'm never doing that again ever! Goku thought. 

"Hey Goku!" called a familiar voice. Goku grinned. Good old Feshin. Always there when you needed him. Even Krillin never had such great timing.

"Hey Fuzz!" Feshin walked up to him, grinning.

"I thought you'd be up with your escapee!"

"He needed some alone time." Goku said, looking up at the building he had just walked out of.

"Ah. Wanna come to mine for a while?"

"Sure!"

Goku had been to Feshin's place a couple of times before, but the place never stopped being so amazing. Feshin had obviously done a lot more thinking when he first got the place. Not only had he repainted, he had totally reshaped his apartment to look like a billionaire's mansion. Feshin had been in Heaven about three thousand years more than Goku, and it showed when you compared their living quarters. With three thousand years worth of adding different things to give the place final touches, it seemed like it had everything. His apartment was in a different building a couple of blocks away from Goku's.

"Want a drink of anything?" Feshin asked.

"Uh…can I have that…blue thing I had last time?"

"Heheh sure."

Meanwhile, Denghin of the Angel's council was organising a search party to try and find the second devil supposedly hiding out in Heaven. They were checking around the place where Jasa'tch was discovered first, and would expand from there, covering every square inch of Heaven. Denghin was nothing if not thorough.

They knocked on the doors of every single apartment in the area, if no one was in, they would use the master key, which reshaped itself to fit in the keyhole.

They were drawing dangerously close to Goku's apartment.

The problem with the 'blue thing' that Goku had was that it got you very drunk very fast. It was a secret recipe from Feshin's home planet.

"So I said to him I said 'you come out right now!' But 'e din't so I just broke the door fing in an pulled 'im out!" Feshin frowned.

"You broke the door in? wont tha' cost ya doshio?"

"Doshio?"

"Moneyyyyy."

"Oh. I don't fink I fought a tha'" Feshin burst out laughing, so did Goku, who then fainted. Feshin just kept on laughing until he fell asleep. The joys of being drunk.

There was a knock at the door and Vegeta raised his head. Kakarott wouldn't knock would he? There was another knock, a pause, then a key turned in the lock. Vegeta got up, thinking it was Goku. He wouldn't let his pride get in the way this time. He was going to do whatever it took to get Goku to love him. the door opened and Vegeta froze. Five angels stood in the doorway staring at him.

"That was easier than I thought it would be." One said. at once they all flew at Vegeta and pinned him on the floor, arms behind his back.

"Get off me!" he yelled into the carpet. Someone came up beside him and kicked him in the stomach. Vegeta growled warningly.

"I've never held much compassion for Devils." The voice hissed. "Not since one snuck into heaven and destroyed my house and mutilated my wife." Great! Vegeta thought, of all the People in heaven, I had to get an angel with a vendetta against Devils! Kakarott…where are you?

Goku stirred slightly.

"'Geta…" he muttered, missing the blue flashing lights signalling Vegeta's capture.

Vegeta was dragged straight to the Council room. Denghin, the one who had kicked Vegeta, was looking elated at his find, and every now and then was sending Vegeta dirty looks.

"It looks like we have another stowaway." The head angel spoke. "Until we find Goku we cannot have a proper trial, therefore we will hold you in custody until Goku resurfaces."

By 'custody', she meant a small black box that Vegeta couldn't even sit down in. he was chained to the walls inside the box so that he couldn't move and left alone while the hunt for Goku continued. Unfortunately for Vegeta, he had overwhelming claustrophobia. He started to panic, hyperventilating and screaming his lungs out.

Goku moaned and got up slowly.

"How long was I out?" he looked down at the still asleep Feshin. "HEY!" Feshin yelped and jumped up.

"What?"

"What time is it?"

"Quarter past."

"Three?"

"Five."

"WHAT?!" he had been gone almost three hours! "I should stop drinking that stuff!" Feshin grinned.

"Probably." Goku jumped up, ignoring his banging hangover and running through the door. He teleported to his house and nearly fainted again. There was a big crowd of Angels in his apartment waiting for him and no sign of Vegeta.

"Ah. We've been waiting for you. We've apprehended your Devil."

"Oh…uh…oops?" the Angels laughed. They might have been here to arrest him, but they were still his friends.

"Goku how do you get yourself into this stuff?"

"It just…happens I guess!" he said jokingly while in his head, he was screaming things like 'where's Vegeta', 'what's going to happen to us', 'how did they find him' and a long string of curses that would a put a sailor to shame.

Goku was taken to the high council and was puzzled when they brought out a black box.

"What's that?" he whispered to the guard.

"That's your devil."

"Shit." He knew about Vegeta's phobia of enclosed spaces.  When the box disappeared, it hurt Goku to see Vegeta so scared. Just a shaking mass that the guards didn't have to grab hold of roughly and force into chains again- even though it happened. Goku tore his eyes away and looked up at the Angel council. 

"I'm very surprised at you, Son Goku. You were one of our top Angels, in line to one day be on the council yourself when someone retired! Why did you choose to commit such a horrible crime?"

"He didn't belong in hell ma'am. He had a horrible past, I'll admit that, but that's all behind him! He's being punished for something that he's punished himself for already!"

"Oh really? By my calculations, the past far outclasses the good. Right up until two years ago, he was still killing!" Goku's breath hitched. Yes. The Majin Buu thing.

"But…please!" he ended stupidly. Vegeta was watching as the Councilwoman started to read out the many things he had to over his life to Goku. He watched as Goku's eyes changed from protectiveness over him, to sadness and hurt. Many of the things Goku already knew, but the things he didn't shocked and appalled him- it was evident on his face.

"And he's been trying to kill you since you first met." Finished the Angel. "Why would you want to save him from hell?" Goku was looking straight at the floor, his hair covering his eyes as a single tear fell to the ground.

"I…didn't think he deserved it…"

"Do you still feel that way?" Vegeta held his breath, waiting for the answer that would probably determine whether or not he went to hell. Goku obviously held a lot of power over the council. Heh, only here a few months and already sweet with just the right people.

"I…" he glanced at Vegeta, refusing to make eye contact with him, but still looking at him. "Yes. I do still feel that way." Vegeta let out the breath he had been holding. Thank god, he thought.

"Well…if you seriously feel this way…we'll see how it goes. If Vegeta behaves for a few months, then he can stay here. If not, he goes back to hell." he Councilwoman raised her hand and a golden light surrounded Vegeta, giving him wings, halo and robe. Vegeta hid his disgust well. At least he had his old clothes back on underneath. (the stuff he died in, not the devil suit)

"He'll live with you Goku. That ok?" Goku nodded. He turned and left, Vegeta, after tripping up on his robe, followed him.

"Thank you kaka…"

"all those people Vegeta. all those planets. You're no different than Freiza." Vegeta stopped dead in his tracks.

"What?"

"I saved you because I couldn't have lived with myself if I hadn't. but if you go back to hell, don't count on me getting you back out." Vegeta was speechless.

"But…I…you…if you felt that way then you should have let me be dragged back to Hell!"

"Maybe I should have." Goku muttered.

Goku, knowing that Vegeta would have to go to the apartment, flew in the opposite direction to Feshin's house. When he took off, he heard Vegeta calling after him, but paid no attention. He had no idea just how many people Vegeta had slaughtered. Some of them weren't even orders from Freiza.

"Maybe he is just a cold blooded killer. Maybe it never left him." Goku thought aloud.

Vegeta walked back to the apartment, refusing to use his new wings. He now hid none of his disgust at looking like an angel. If there was one thing he wasn't, it was an angel. But his sadness was even more obvious than his disgust. A silent stream of tears came down his face, and he was getting very funny looks from passers by, not that he cared. How could Kakarott have said those things? Vegeta had tried to put his past behind him as best he could. He thought Kakarott had too.

As soon as he got in, Vegeta tossed his robe off, curling his wings in like Goku had. He was glad to be in his own clothes again. Neither the Angel nor Devil suits were very comfortable or in his style. He noticed vaguely that the gravity room door had been fixed before he burst into much more vocal tears.
