A/N: I'm back - school's in, and I'm probably going to write more because of it (inspiration and all that)

What the hell am I doing? Gohan thought to himself. He watched as Lenora's bony hand wrapped around the golden doorknob on the main door, beginning to push it open. I'm following a-a freaking SKELETON around. This can't be happening…

"Nasty girl, nasty girl, but so pretty. Shan't travel with me, no, shan't travel with me…" Videl was about to pass out from lack of oxygen when Lenora picked her up and threw her the way that they came into the forest. Videl took in a few deep breaths, trying not to pass out, but without anyone there to help her she felt herself slightly dip into the soft ground beneath her, wondering how come she wasn't waking up yet, and where was Gohan anyway?
-
This is so not good…" she whispered to herself as she trailed a finger around all the marks. It seemed that enough time had passed that really the only parts you could see were exactly where the fingers were placed on her throat. Not that that makes this any easier… She thought to herself nastily, flinching and closing her eyes as once again some pain came through at the light touch.
When Videl opened her eyes again, she screamed and turned around.
There behind her was a woman, whose hair was silently floating on the non-existent wind that was in the room. She opened her mouth and silently moved her lips, Videl saw the movement often enough to know what she just said and silently nodded her head back to the woman, unsure of what else to do.
"H-Hello to you…too." She whispered silently.

Chapter Nineteen: This isn't a Nightmare, It's Reality
-
Gohan opened his eyes and groaned. He sat up off the ground and rolled his shoulders, trying to get some feeling into them - because of this sleeping on the ground, and the weight he put on his arms, they felt heavy and stiff.
He yawned as he opened his eyes and said a muttered hello to Videl when he noticed something.
Videl was nowhere in sight.
He looked around frantically, trying to find her, however all he saw was Lenora beginning to wake up herself, or at least that's what he guessed she was doing - once again with the whole skeleton thing.
He decided to ask the question straight out.
"Where's Videl?" He asked. Lenora turned to look at him, her skull moving dreadfully slowly, making Gohan what exactly she was thinking.
"They must have taken her." Lenora said quickly, before turning and walking deeper into the forest. Gohan glared at the skeleton's spine.
"They must have taken her? Who the hell must have taken her?" The skeleton was freaking him out yesterday, however today it was pissing him off, he didn't get very good vibes from her for some reason.
Lenora was silent for a long time making Gohan wonder if he should ask her again and look for Videl himself when she finally answered him.
"Pretty girl, pretty girl, who has the pretty girl? Dead, dead, dead, and long gone - Mile's never loved her, like he loves me." Gohan was pretty sure that she was smiling insanely - though once again, he couldn't really tell with the absence of lips. When her works finally sunk into his head his mouth hung open in shock.
"What the he- Are you saying Videl's dead?? You f-" Lenora began to dance around again, but more like a little girl trying to imitate what she sees people do for ballet, instead of ballroom dancing.
"Pretty girl's breathing, pretty girl's breathing, mean dead girl has her though - yup, yup!" Gohan stared at her for a moment trying to figure everything out. While he was thinking so hard, he didn't hear Lenora's muttered words of 'though she shouldn't be'.
"Is this, other, dead girl, um…a skel- er…a ghost?" She stayed silent for this question and it took Gohan a moment to figure out that she was nodding her 'yes'.
"Let's find my Miles, I love my Miles… I want my Miles…" She began to sing softly, Gohan brought his hands up to his head, trying to figure out what to do when he just settled on following Lenora for now, because really, what else could he do?

Videl was sitting on the bed (another different room in the castle) and actually couldn't hide the small smile that she had on her face. The ghost she had met earlier was much nicer than Lenora had been (not that that was hard or anything) and was currently brushing her hair, it made Videl remember what her life was like with her mom in the good times.
Videl closed her eyes as the woman began to hum and leaned back lightly, letting the woman have easier access to her hair.
The woman giggled lightly and kept brushing it.
Videl thought that it was odd, that she could hear the woman hum and giggle and do other things like that. When it came to words itself, it seemed as though the ghost was at a lost, however, they both seemed to know about a game called 'Charades' or something like it and resorted to that often.
She felt a little movement behind her and looked, she saw the woman picking up a ribbon off the bed stand beside them and then turn around, motioning with her hands for Videl to do the same.
Once she did, she felt the cool hands of the ghost carefully lifting up her hair and wrapping it all up into a high pony tail. For some reason it made Videl feel like a princess, though how, she had no idea.
The woman behind her moved again but Videl didn't look back this time, she felt the woman put something into her ponytail and then hand her a mirror.
Videl grinned at the white daisy. She changed her clothes from the green dress to the white one and couldn't help feeling like the dress itself must have been made for Gohan's great great grandmother or something, with the style of fancy-ness of it (she couldn't think of another word for it).
Her head snapped up and the ghost looked at her, a worried frown on her face. Videl blinked a few times before reaching her left hand out and roughly pushing on the wall, she slapped it a few times and looked back at her hand. It was bright red and sore. Bringing her right arm, over to her left, she pinched so hard that she nearly brought tears to her eyes, when she looked at her hand and arm again, she noticed she was right where she was a few minutes ago.
"Oh my Kami…" She whispered silently, looking at her hurt arm. The ghost was hovering around her all nervously, trying to figure out why she just did that. "This is all real…" Videl whispered.
It took her a moment, and the ghost gave it to her, trying to understand this new development, but for different reasons than Videl. When all the flashbacks and everything came back to her, she stood up as fast as a bullet.
"Gohan, that asshole!" She said, venom on her voice, "He kept saying it was all a dream, that it was a because of a video game. Kami! Gooooooooooha-" She stopped yelling Gohan's name when she finally remembered one tiny little fact.
Where the hell was Gohan?
-
Chichi was currently running all over the castle, trying to find any hidden passageways, or doors and hallways that weren't there before, currently, she found nothing. She was slightly aware that Bulma was behind her, trying to get her to stop and calm down, but she didn't listen.
"But Chichi-"
"Shut up, Bulma!" She yelled, turning to the blue-haired woman. "I know something is wrong, and Gohan got himself into a shitload of trouble, and I am not, do you hear me? Not going let him get hurt because of it!" Bulma took in a deep breath, getting herself ready to retaliate as Chichi began opening all the doors that they were passing and looking around all the rooms carefully before closing the door and going into the next one.
"Chi, really Gohan's one of the strongest fighters on earth, what 'problems' could he run into?" Bulma crossed her arms and smirked at Chichi, thinking she had the dark haired woman trapped when the woman leaned onto a wall and said in a sob and defeated whisper.
"Strength is useless where he is Bulma?" The blue haired woman looked at her, slightly confused.
"What-what do you mean, Chi?"
"Everything, everyone where he is, there all dead, all long gone, and for some reason, no matter what you do, they always come back. Strength there means nothing there Bulma. Absolutely nothing."
