Kakkhan: Giendonese Saiyan Warrior
Disclaimer: I do not own Dragonball/Z/GT, but I do own Janden, the Laniins, the other races not including Human, the planet Giendon, a few techniques, the unfamiliar languages, and a handful of other things that are my creation alone.
CHAPTER DEDICATION: To supersaiyaman, who reviewed almost ALL of the chapters of Kakkhan: Giendonese Saiyan Warrior in a single sitting. Or two. Thanks supersaiyaman! /Bows deeply/
A/n: Heya! Welcome back to Kakkhan! This is the last chapter in the past timeline, so from next chapter forth, you won't be seeing anymore of the past timeline! YES! Rejoice! Oh, but what does that mean I have in store for you this chapter? What makes you think I'm telling!? Not even my muse knows this time! Hehe!
Allati: /Pouts/ Meanie!
Don't I know it! /Grinz/ Now go away, muse. You're bothering me. /Flaps hand at muse/
Allati: Hmpf! /Gets up and flounces away/
Gods, I love doing that. /Smiles charmingly/ Anyway, this is another depressing and sad chapter, especially in the beginning. I hope you enjoy and take note of the fact that this fic is PG-13. /Glares at simba-rulz (who, btw, is actually old enough to read this story by legal standards. Scary.) /
As an extra author's note, most of this chapter's length is attributed to reviewer's responses. There were a lot of reviews from supersaiyaman that I have to answer, so, yeah, that's why the story content is about normal in length but the whole chapter overall is so long. Yep.

Previously on Kakkhan: Giendonese Saiyan Warrior,
"Will you tell me your past?" he asked in a whisper.
Kakkhan considered the question a bit before he answered, "I will if you want me to."
It was Gohan's turn to drop his eyes yet again and return them to Kakkhan's steady gaze once more.
"I don't think so, not right now."
Kakkhan nodded, his onyx eyes disappearing behind his eyelids for a split-second. "Then I won't tell you—now."
Gohan nodded himself, and the Silence akuma tightened Its grip once more over the rapidly beating hearts of one halfbreed and one immortal. It, the akuma, had only had Its hold over the duo for a few moments when Gohan looked over at Kakkhan again. What he saw shocked him beyond measure.
For Kakkhan was gone. Vanished. Had disappeared into thin air, without a trace.

Chapter Twenty-one: An Act of Mercy
:#:#:#:
Kakkhan floated high in the sky. His clothes rippled as a breeze flew by him, his hair sweeping back from his stony black eyes in accompaniment. Those black eyes, darker than the darkest night, looked sightlessly down at the ruined world laid out before him, thinking about what had just transpired. If a person had been looking at Kakkhan from the ground, he or she would have thought Kakkhan was angel without wings, surveying the world without hope. Of course, no one was around, and so a great opportunity to make Kakkhan look more supernatural than he is, was lost.
All of a sudden Kakkhan moved his head as he heard something. He listened to the sound for a while (whether the sound was real or in mind-speech the authoress doesn't know), before he dived down to Earth. His green gi and his hair whipped now in the gale caused by his body; his rank earrings streamlined themselves to decrease wind resistance; his barbell shrank so Kakkhan would not have to bite down on it so much as he dived; and his armband tightened for the same purpose as the earrings. However, the armband did not tighten so much so as not to cut off it's wearer's circulation.
Too used to these minor adjustments, Kakkhan paid them no heed. He instead kept his eyes on the rapidly approaching ground below. Kakkhan got closer and closer, and closer again. Too close for comfort, at the very last moment, Kakkhan pulled sharply out of his dive and landed as gently as a bird on a lone fencepost sticking up bravely from its crushed surroundings. From there he watched invisibly as a tiny group of scraggly humans toting small knapsacks fled from the city.
The humans were a group of three adults and six children. Two of the children, Kakkhan decided, were orphans. They looked nothing like the adults in the group and something else. They both had the look of having lost a parent, even though one be only five years old. The other one was a teenager, a blonde girl, and her intelligent blue eyes were exhausted, haunted by images Kakkhan did not want to see.
The teenager was at the back of the pack, so the adults, the other orphan, and other four children had already passed by Kakkhan without seeing him. Kakkhan prepared himself to see into the teenager's eyes and view the suffering in them, but was distracted by a familiar leering voice whispering in his mind.
'Do what she asks, Legendary Lord. It is her time. Leave the other kid alone, though. He still needs to make his journey in Life.'
Kakkhan turned his head slightly and nodded at Yoki beside him. Yoko was nowhere to be seen, but Yoki was perfectly relaxed, leaning one elbow on solid air. Kakkhan turned back to the teenager, who was just about to pass.
She glanced up at him and did a double take, taking in his martial arts clothes. Hope bloomed in her blue eyes and she dropped the pitifully small bag she was carrying on her back. She brought her hands together in a begging position and dropped to one knee, keeping her eyes on Kakkhan's face.
"Please. Kill me. I've had enough. Just, just kill me, please," she pleaded, her hopeful eyes never alighting from Kakkhan's face. Kakkhan wondered how she could see him when he was supposed to be invisible, but attributed it to the casually lounging Horseman beside him. Yoki, actually, was looking at Kakkhan with an eyebrow raised, as if daring the immortal to refuse. Kakkhan raised an eyebrow to himself and returned his gaze to the kneeling human in front of him.
All of this had taken but a breath, so it was not much longer after the girl's request that Kakkhan decided to do as he was told/asked. It was not a good idea to mess with Fate's dealings, and Her ties were very obviously bound tight around this girl.
Kakkhan graciously inclined his head and said, "As you wish."
Gratitude leapt in bounds upon the blonde girl's face as she leapt up off the dusty ground and spread her arms out wide. She stepped back away from Kakkhan's valiant fencepost and closed her eyes, not caring how Kakkhan disposed of her, as long as she died. Kakkhan took another peek at Yoki, who was looking steadily at him, and steeled himself. It was an act of mercy, he told himself, but knew that the life he was about to cut short should not be. Still, Yoki had told him to kill her, and the Grim Reaper knew all about Death.
Kakkhan raised his arm, his hand flat, and released the smallest bit of energy he could use that would end the girl's life.
The energy hit the girl and she crumpled. Kakkhan stared at her unmoving body, feeling like he had just disfigured something beautiful. Yoki walked over to the girl and inspected her, leaning on his scythe. He remarked offhandedly to Kakkhan, 'Not bad, Legendary Lord. You do have feelings. I'd have never known with that mask you have on. You know that was an act of mercy you just committed, right? Only a person with feelings, with compassion, would do something like that. Now, don't look at me like that, Legendary Lord. Compassion is not a weakness, it's a strength. Just vastly underrated.
'Compassion is actually a very desirable thing to have,' Yoki continued. 'Thank the gods that you have it. Not that many people do, human, akuma, or otherwise, and that's a sad thing. I have compassion, but only because this is my job and it forces me to be. Death is a form of compassion, as you just saw. Otherwise, I'd probably still be a rampaging Horseman and wreaking havoc everywhere. But anyway, we're not here to talk about that. We're here to see that compassion does not make someone weak, and that you should practice it. This is a lesson well earned, Legendary Lord, and it will serve you well in the future. The long future. Just be careful how you distribute it, for if you use that compassion and mercy for the wrong person, you may find yourself the worse for it.'
Yoki took a breath, while Kakkhan looked at him, feeling shocked. It wasn't everyday you got a speech on compassion and mercy from the Death Bringer. It was outright ironic, actually, and Kakkhan would have laughed inside if not for the gravity of the situation.
Sensing that the Legendary Lord had registered his lecture, Yoki smiled ominously at Kakkhan and tipped his head. 'Good day to you, Legendary Lord.' Kakkhan nodded his thanks for the speech and in goodbye.
He turned back to the girl just in time to see her spirit finish its drain out of its temporary container. He no longer felt Yoki's sinister [presence] beside him, but instead behind the spirit of the girl. Kakkhan turned his eyes to meet the ghostly blue ones of the girl's spirit, who smiled at him gratefully in thanks. Kakkhan bowed his head in return, feeling better about what he had done, and jumped from his fencepost into the skies above.
Never would he forget how much an act of mercy could mean so much, now that he had learned its worth.
:#:#:#:
Kakkhan arrived back at Ina City to see Gohan officially and effectively panicking. Apparently, Kakkhan disappearing so quickly and silently like that had caused the end of the world for Gohan, and so the demi-Saiyan was frantically running back and forth in all directions, looking for Kakkhan and calling out for him. Kakkhan wondered why Gohan hadn't just sensed his ki or his [presence], but then remembered, for the first time in, truthfully, years, about his ki damper and his barbell. Kakkhan clicked his barbell against his teeth in annoyance at himself, then stepped out into Gohan's sight.
Gohan immediately stopped running. Kakkhan looked at him, smirked fleetingly again, and took off. Gohan followed, not trusting Kakkhan not to leave him alone. Kakkhan, aware of this, kept his pace reasonable enough for Gohan to follow. It was time to get a proper bed in a clean place, and Kakkhan knew just where to go, having gone there in this timeline beforehand.
The duo stopped to watch the last of the sunset. At this time, they felt at peace with one another, and with Life, both appreciating the beauty of Nature at her best. Finally though, it was dark, and Kakkhan made the rest of the way to the place he had in mind, making sure Gohan was always by his side.
:#:#:#:
When Kakkhan and Gohan woke up in Kami's Lookout the next morning, understandably, they both thought that what each had gone through had just been a dream. Then they looked at each other and decided very quickly that nope, it wasn't a dream. Gohan remembered, his chest aching, the deaths of his mother, his second mother Bulma, and the brother he would never have, Trunks. Kakkhan remembered the lesson of mercy he'd learned. They looked at each other, remembering, and picked up where they had left off.
"So Kakkhan, will you tell me your past now?" Gohan asked, trying to gauge a reaction out of Kakkhan by the request.
Kakkhan just looked at Gohan. Gohan looked back, matching stare for stare with Kakkhan. Kakkhan could see that Gohan actually wanted to know about Kakkhan's past now, but he decided to further analyze the situation before he let his past counterpart in.
"Let me ask you a question for once, Son Gohan. Are you going to stay here in this world, or will you come into the future with me?" Kakkhan asked, keeping his face devoid of any emotion. It was Gohan's decision, this, and Gohan's decision alone. Kakkhan couldn't make it for him. Although, knowing Gohan as well was he did (which was very well indeed), Kakkhan estimated that Gohan would want to get out of this world with its many bad memories and few good ones. Still, Kakkhan waited. Gohan could always change his mind.
Gohan, a little more used to Kakkhan's bluntness by that time, was a little less taken aback than the first time Kakkhan had been so blunt. He was just now taken aback by the question itself.
He recovered quickly, however, and furrowed his forehead. With a brief frown, he answered, "I don't know. I'll have to think about that."
Kakkhan nodded his approval of the answer and reached for his past counterpart. He dragged the other one past his mental barriers of thin fire and thrust Gohan into his mind. He called for the very southwestern part of his mind, where his memories were stored, and it soon slid into view. He flicked open the first memory of his life, at a year old, and let the slide show begin.
Gohan started as he was suddenly seized mentally. He attempted to escape before he realized that it was Kakkhan who had taken a hold of him, then relaxed. Gohan was propelled along past thin walls of fire and stepped into an environment full of darkness. Gohan had no time to contemplate the inside of Kakkhan's mind, however. For the darkness unexpectedly lit up with a vision, a vision familiar to Gohan, for it was one of his own memories. Gohan watched, entranced, as Kakkhan's life from one to two years old played out in front of him, so familiar and yet so strange. These memories, seen this way, revealed new things about Gohan and about Kakkhan that Gohan had never known before. So from the memories from ages one to two, Gohan gleaned new revelations about both himself and Kakkhan.
But once they hit age two, Gohan's forehead furrowed again in confusion. He didn't recognize these memories, for they were so different than his own in every aspect. He saw Janden come, take the child that Kakkhan had been, and the [cleaning]. He saw Kakkhan's life, from the first days on Giendon to the last days in the original timeline after the Cell Games. From there Kakkhan tapered off, not wanting Gohan to know that he'd spent the entire time after that watching Gohan. But Gohan looked at Kakkhan, sensing that there was more to Kakkhan's memories than he was being shown, and Kakkhan forged ahead.
Gohan kept watching as Kakkhan traveled through Time again. Those times, though, Kakkhan stayed for longer than just a few hours. He stayed for days, weeks, even a month at one time, but always returned to catch Gohan's every thought. Gohan found himself blushing at times when Kakkhan caught him doing something he shouldn't be, but Kakkhan's thoughts in the memories always surprised him. It was never, "Ah! Naughty!" or something along the lines of that. It was always something like, "All right, Gohan. Show 'em what you got," as in one instance when Gohan was playing with Goku's Power Pole and he bonked his father on the head. Then Gohan had winced, but Kakkhan's unusual thought enabled Gohan to watch on.
By the time that Gohan finished, he knew everything about Kakkhan. Everything. It made Gohan feel very comfortable around Kakkhan, but he still didn't know if Kakkhan would still be comfortable around him.
Gohan turned to Kakkhan, expecting…what, he didn't know. He did know that he hadn't expected Kakkhan to be facing him outright nor had he expected Kakkhan to demand, 'Now show me your memories and thoughts. I need to know you as well as you know me, even if I already know how your life was like.'
Yet Kakkhan did both of these things, again taking Gohan off balance. To his credit, Gohan was actually getting used to being off balance around Kakkhan. Still, Gohan glowered at Kakkhan. Kakkhan raised an eyebrow in question, to which Gohan said, 'Stop catching me off guard! It's getting annoying.'
In answer, Kakkhan simply smirked at Gohan, who knew now that it translated into a grin by Giendonese standards. Gohan, instead of scrunching his face into a more hurt expression, grinned back, delighted that he was able to make Kakkhan grin after all the horrible (and not so horrible) things in the immortal's life. The two stood there smirking, or grinning, at each other, before they moved on.
The duo then set out for Gohan's mind and his memories, sharing their lives with each other and essentially their very souls. This partaking of memories gave the two not only a better understanding of each other, but also a bond, one that was unbreakable. This bond would see Gohan and Kakkhan through their lives and would support them in times of despair, when all seemed lost, and in times of peace, when everything was at hand. However, this bond was more than a bond of friends, or brothers. This was a bond with yourself.
For Kakkhan was Gohan, and Gohan was Kakkhan. Yet they were separate entities, complete opposites of each other. Kakkhan was unemotional, a pure Saiyan, and acted like it. Gohan wore his heart on his sleeve, was a halfbreed, and acted human. Kakkhan had a dark mind and a heart of light. Gohan had a mind full of light and a heart of darkness. Kakkhan was immortal, a person of high places in other places. Gohan was mortal, and not generally known outside of Earth. He wasn't even known on Earth, for that matter. Yet it did not matter with these two.
They didn't care that Kakkhan was practically royalty in the Akuma Dimension, nor that Gohan was just as low as everybody else on his own Earth. They didn't care that Kakkhan was known, somewhat, for his exploits, and that Gohan was not. They only cared that the other person had now become the other half of himself, half his soul. They were closer than twins, and yet they were as separate as two estranged brothers. Fate had truly done a paradoxical masterpiece when She had laid out Her diabolical plans for these two. She knew it too, and She sat in Her well-used workshop, admiring Her paradox, and the two long Strings of Life She held in Her hands. One String was black, with a shimmering of white over it. The other String was white, with an aura of black. Both were still attached to their spools, which meant that Fate still had to decide when they'd end their lives. If they ended their lives. Fate was known to be contrary. Especially as the person one of the Strings referred to was supposed to be mortal.
But Fate wasn't telling anyone of Her plans. She never did. And Kakkhan and Gohan definitely didn't want to know.
:#:#:#:
Kakkhan withdrew from Gohan's head and went back to his own. He turned his back on his core of light again and faced the outside, where Gohan was. Gohan opened his own eyes, the unseen pupils dilating in the bright light that was, somehow, much dimmer than the light in his own mind. Gohan couldn't believe it, but after going through Kakkhan's memories, Gohan could actually control his own mind. He had learned much from Kakkhan's memories, so much that he could speak Laniin as fluently as any Laniin or Giendonese person. It was entirely too weird, but it somehow made sense to Gohan, as nothing else in his life did. Gohan had no doubt that Kakkhan had taken something from Gohan's memories too, but what, Gohan couldn't possibly fathom. He knew something of what Kakkhan had already obtained from seeing his life, but from his memories, that was a different thing. But now was not the time to be thinking about what Kakkhan could have gotten from Gohan's memories. Now was the time for a bit of talk.
Kakkhan opened up the floor with, "So, Gohan. I think by now that you've had enough time to think about my question from earlier. Are you coming to the future timeline with me or not?" He asked this with a raised eyebrow, as if daring Gohan to refuse to answer the question this time, a dare that Gohan chose not to take.
Instead Gohan retorted, "You know I'm going to. There are too many bad memories here for me, and besides, I need a second chance, start my life over. I can't do that here with skeletons still grappling at me, holding me back. As long as I don't live with my future family, Mom and Dad specifically, for a while, at least, until I get used to the future, then I can do that. But, I do want to be with my future family, especially Goten. I just don't want to be with them until I have my own life." Gohan looked helplessly at Kakkhan, who had a faint look of understanding on his face. Kakkhan nodded, then changed the subject.
"We'll have to do a bit of planning on how we're going to get you introduced to your future family and also explain why we look so alike. Maybe suggest we're twins? We practically are, anyway."
Gohan raised an eyebrow at that, looking so much like Kakkhan at the moment that Kakkhan had to hide a Giendonese smile (1). "That's a good idea. I just hope we aren't expected to dress the same." Kakkhan truly Giendonese smiled then, again to the delight of Gohan. The self-proclaimed twins laid out more plans for Earth after that, moving from how introduced to how long before introduced, deciding on a year, when both Kakkhan and Gohan would be settled. Gohan even tentatively brought up the subject of Tyeler and if she would still be with them in the future.
Kakkhan had to sit back and think about that. No doubt Tyeler would be a great friend to have, but she would have to reconcile to the idea that Kakkhan wouldn't go back to Giendon. Not to mention that Tyeler still had ties to the home planet and the Laniins, and so she could contact the Laniins any day and tell them to pick him up. This would be treason to Kakkhan, but Tyeler would do it to make sure that Kakkhan didn't commit the greater treason to Giendon. Kakkhan didn't want to be brainwashed again, or anymore than he already had. Kakkhan didn't know when he had become so disillusioned about Giendon and his Laniin family, but he knew it had been for a while. But by any means, Tyeler would not be an auspicious friend to Kakkhan and Gohan's plans, and so she would have to go. Kakkhan found himself shrinking from the callousness of the thought, but even he had to admit that the statement was accurate.
Gohan, watching the play of slight emotions across Kakkhan's seemingly unemotional face, chose wisely to stay silent while his twin thought. His twin. Gohan had no trouble thinking of Kakkhan as his twin now, even though they were hardly that in blood. Especially since Kakkhan had had his DNA altered to make him a pure Saiyan instead of just a halfbreed. Gohan didn't have any jealousy for Kakkhan, though. He knew, both from personal experience and Kakkhan's memories, that being a pure Saiyan wasn't all that. Neither was being a pure human, this concept gained through Gohan's own past, and Gohan was perfectly happy as a hybrid. Sure, Gohan would doubt himself about being a hybrid, but Gohan was sure it would be nothing drastic. As long as Kakkhan was around, nothing would be drastic.
Finally, Kakkhan's octave-deeper-than-normal voice came into the air. It was thoughtful, nevertheless bringing Gohan out of his own reverie. Kakkhan was like that. "I don't think that Tyeler should be with us. She would take to you quite quickly, I'm sure, but she wouldn't like that I'm not going back to Giendon. She might even make the Laniins come and take me to Giendon. Who knows? Tyeler might wrangle you too in on the act, and you would be brainwashed as well. I couldn't abide with myself if that happened, brainwashed again or not, so I think I'd better return Tyeler to Giendon."
Gohan nodded his agreement. A companionable silence fell over them, the Silence akuma being in a better mood than yesterday, as each contemplated a further course of action for the future. Suddenly both Gohan and Kakkhan came out with,
"I think we need a mind link—"
"We should establish a telepathic bond—"
The counterparts looked at each other, and burst into laughter. Gohan was laughing outright, while Kakkhan was laughing inwardly, as per his style. Suddenly two enormous growls of impatience erupted from a certain region of the abdomen. Kakkhan and Gohan looked down at their rumbling stomachs, and at each other, and said simultaneously, "Raiding time."
This sent them into another fit of laughter. Finally they calmed down when Kakkhan extracted his capsule refill refrigerator and uncapsulated it. They each got their food and started feasting at top Saiyan speed, Gohan eating with no hesitations this time. This meal would go on for hours, Gohan and Kakkhan creating their mind link as they went. For the rest of the day, they did nothing but plan, lounge, eat, or get prepared for the imminent trip to the future. It was tomorrow that the events of Fate would start, but today was not tomorrow. Not just yet.

(1) What I mean by a Giendonese smile, in case you don't get it, is actually a small smirk by an outsider's standards. I'm going to be using this kind of expression in the future, so make sure you understand what I mean. I'll be reminding you of this, so if you don't remember, never fear, I'm here for you!
:#:#:#:
A/n: Whew! That was a good one! 3,936 words! WHOA!!! /Blown away by concept/ /Calls/ I'll see you laaaaaaateeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!!!!! Eek! /Bangs into streetlight/ Orhh…
/Returns holding abdomen/ Anyway, to fend off questions about Kakkhan's "act of mercy" thingamajig in the first half of this chapter, no, he's not going to turn into Goku, forever giving mercy to his enemies (that was what Yoki was talking about there). Nor is he going to turn into Vegeta, although I do have an idea about him. This lesson will come into play later (in what meaningless plot I have for this trilogy), so you will have to wait to see why I put it in here. But, you can assure yourselves that the first half of this chapter is not some random thing I put in because I was inspired so forcefully by Allati (although that was the truth, until Allati inspired me again, heh), thank all the gods.
As for the second part, well, I don't want to dictate for you guys, so just ask away! Nothing embarrassing please! /Glares/
Onto the sneak preview!

SNEAK PREVIEW OF: To the Future, and Beyond
Four minutes later, the god of Time saw Kakkhan speeding around the room, stacking up all the discarded things into one corner. Gohan was collecting all the capsules into their separate boxes, re-labeling them for the contents they really contained. It was in this order that everything was done at last, two hours, eighteen minutes, thirty-six seconds after the Paradoxes had woken up and realized that tomorrow had come at last.

REVIEWER RESPONSES: (Got a lot of reviews from one source, so this will be a likkle long...)
ShadowObscurity: Hey! You reviewed last chap, so you're OK! Thinkin', huh? Too much of that can hurt your head. /Nods professionally/
Thanks for the compliments! /Blushes/
supersaiyaman: Lotta questions. Heh. OK, let's see if I can answer the most important ones...
REVIEW #20: Whoever said I'd stop writing this? Dis is my baby! Next to Vigilante Angel, anyhow. And my HP fics. Heh. I am dead set on completing this, tho, so BE ASSURED! Your trust question answered? Hmm, a good idea, the training thing, I'll think about it. I think that Gohan, like, knows ALL of Kakkhan's moves just from the bonding thing, but he'll need a little theory practice...
REVIEW #19: Ya got the darkness fighting the Androids part right. However, the darkness is NOT Kakkhan's power. Good guess, there. I only say "maybe" to the question of Gohan being as strong/powerful as Kakkhan. Maybe.
REVIEW#17: Gohan doesn't face Cell in here. Cell isn't present in the original Mirai timeline for some reason, which is, like, really weird. OK...
REVIEW #15: No, changing the past doesn't mean Kakkhan will revert. What's happened for Kakkhan has already happened. It won't change. The past timeline as Kakkhan made it is no longer the same timeline as the present one. So Kakkhan doesn't unlearn everything.
REVIEW #14: Yep, I made Kakkhan more powerful. Being a full Saiyan does have it's limits, true, but it also means that Kakkhan has more confidence in himself.
REVIEW #11: I skipped because I wanted to have a little suspense. Glad to know I succeeded. ;)
REVIEW #10: Good points about the HTC sections. The Z-senshi know that Kakkhan is the same one from 3 years ago. Face recognition tends to do that. Thanx for your compliments.
REVIEW #8: I wish I was a dimension wanderer too. Too bad though. I wonder how Kakkhan will live on Earth too. Ah, but I wonder truly if he will keep in contact with Giendon, too, considering that he's not particularly keen on going back now. Hmm... just got a great idea. Thanx! You're my muse now!
REVIEW #6: You'll find out the full answer to that question in three chapters, at the end of this fic. Have fun.
REVIEW #4: Yep, a sequel. A trilogy in fact. Your compliments make me blush. Kakkhan (not Kadden, altho that's a good name too, can I borrow it?) has avoided the questions, and Goku, interestingly enough, isn't suspicious anymore. Wot's up with dat? I'm getting forgetful. Sigh.
REVIEW #1: Thank you. I liked writing the [cleaning] myself, as well. Read and find out.
WHEW! Answered them all! YAY! Thank you, supersaiyaman, for your reviews! They were excellent and contributed greatly, as did all the other reviews, to the speedier updating of this ficcy! Thank you! /Bows/
simba-rulz: STUPID !! I HATE that!! Grrr!! Paranoid, are ya? Could be because you LIED to be a member of LIED. You do know that's criminal, right? Hehehe...
Khan-chan's back, OK? No pain plz!! Sheesh!
The 600 gazillion Gohan thing again... WRITE A FIC OF YOUR OWN IF YOU WANT THAT!! Just don't keep bugging ME about it! I won't write that kind of thing!! Sheesh!
Oh, gosh, Simba, Bear, and the Son bunnies. Joy. Hey, where's Goten-chan? Has he not been born yet? Creepy.
I updated! /Pants/ The demands (threats) I have to deal with these days...
TTYL! AAS-sama /Bows/
Nooka: Nook, half asleep again?!?! Jeez...what time do you have over there?!?! Gosh!
YAY! A good chap! EXCELLENT!
CRAP! England lost! By a goal! SHIMATTA!!!!! (Japanese for damn)
Anyway, this chap is just as confusing as any other. Hope you have fun being confused.
Oh, and btw, UPDATE!!!
SP-samaSSJ5 Tigger: YEAH!! Go Tigger, go Tigger, it's your b-day, it's your b-day UH-HUH!!
Gosh, that first part of your review is weird... I like weirdness! YAY! Yes, I know, very weird. Heheh... GOEAT! YAY! /Jumps up and down in joy/ I didn't update as fast as a duck, but more like... an old rabbit. Heh, I hesitate to say snail. LOL. Haha! Go SSJ5!
[Mumble?]
No, I didn't mean it that way. Stupid personality.
[Mumbles angrily]
Yeah, yeah, woteva. PEACE OUT!
Feral-beast: I think that the frying pan thing means kind of no food for Saiyans and Akira just used it as a comedy thing. I don't know. Ask Akira for deets. I won't use it anymore if it really rankles you. 'Kay? Thanks for reviewing. /Bows/
:#:#:#:
Thanks to ShadowObscurity, supersaiyaman (for all reviews of selected chapters 1-20), simbarulz, Nooka, Shea Loner, Hiaburi, SSJ5 Tigger, DBZ Chick1, and Feral-beast for their reviews of last chapter! You guys are awe-some! /Bows deeply/
