A big thanks to : Purple Badger, Birdy06, CosmicTwilight, Aragorn566, Animemastr21, Emma and ----- : for reviewing chapter one of "Ethereal Messengers".

Review Answers:

Purple Badger: I have a writing style? Well what is my writing style then? I'd like to know lol. I know you don't really read GH-VI stories all that much but I am considering writing a T/P for Psyco-Chibi and you. Just for you guys, but i'm not so sure yet, I've got a lot of other stuff I have to do.

Birdy06: Glad you liked it. Sorry it took so long to update. I hope you like this chapter as much as the last!

CosmicTwilight: Thanks for reviewing, I'm glad you liked my Videl, I like her too.

Aragorn566: Lol. the word "potential" is very common amongst my reviewers. I quite like the way I've portrayed Chi Chi in this story as well. In "Without You" it is different. Chi Chi would hit people with brooms and in future chapters is obsessed with getting great-grandchildren. Will the Son Family Madness ever stop?

Animemastr21: I've never had a story dedicated to me either. As a matter of fact I've never had anything dedicated to me. Well I ain't too special I guess. I quite liked the cheese on toast idea too!

Emma: You are one of Videl's friends, they are bitches! LMAO! Just kidding Emma, you'll come in soon, don't you worry.

DBZAngelX: Glad you liked it. Thank you for reviewing.

Tatsumi Sagara: I'm interested to see what your thoughts on this chapter are. Thank you for reviewing.

Gohan woke up suddenly to the sound of his radio alarm clock. 'Broken' By Seether featuring Amy Lee was playing.

I wanted you to know, that I love the way you laugh,

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain, away.

I keep your photograph, and I know it serves me well,

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain...

Because I'm broken when I'm lonesome

And I don't feel right when you're gone away.

You've gone away, you don't fill me in, anymore

He liked it. Gohan looked down at his fifteen year old self. It had all been a dream. The girl named...

"Videl..." he whispered.

The daughter of Hercule. The daughter of the man he hated so much. The daughter of the man who stole his fame. The girl he had so much fun with. The girl that would forever haunt his dreams. He clung tightly to his quilt and growled.

"Why am I in so much pain?" he asked in a harsh whisper. "Why did you leave me?"

Tears stung his eyes. He threw the thoughts aside along with his quilt. The dreams of a pleasant life, thrown, in a corner. A corner where all things happy lived, a place Gohan would never be. Gohan got out of bed and got dressed. He went down stairs and was greeted by his mother's excellent cooking. He looked at the table. Goten had already come and gone.

"He's playing outside," Chi Chi said, answering his oncoming question.

Gohan smiled and sat down to a hot, Sunday breakfast of bacon and eggs. After finishing he went outside and watched his little brother play in the Autumn leaves. He smiled and closed his eyes. He opened them again and saw him and his father throwing leaves about, laughing, having fun. He closed his eyes again and opened them, in his father's place was Goten. He smiled and jumped in the leaves with his brother.

'I won't let you stop me from having fun,'

Together, Gohan and Goten threw leaves at each other. They were laughing and having fun. Something Gohan had not experienced in a long time. Chi Chi leaned out the window and smiled.

"Oh Goku, look what you have done now..."

Videl looked down at her black shoes and straightened her black clothing. She didn't want to go to her mother's funeral. Not because she didn't love her. She didn't want people to see her cry. She was Videl, the daughter of the mighty Hercule, guardian of Satan City. She had been for two years now. Her mother was very proud of her accomplishments. Then some criminal shot her wanting to put Videl in total and utter misery.

"Are you happy now?" she whispered harshly.

She would get him no matter what. Even if she had to sacrifice her life. As long as he was dead.

"Don't you worry Videl, we'll get him and send him to gaol," the chief said.

"No. I'll get him and he won't be going to gaol, he's going straight to hell,"

The chief stood back, surprised at Videl's sudden out burst of hatred. Videl walked away and into the church.

The worst is over now and we can breath again

I wanna hold you high and steal my pain away.

There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight

I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

Because I'm broken when I'm open

and I don't feel right when you're gone away

Because I'm broken when I'm lonesome

and I don't feel right when you're gone away

Videl smiled slightly. She liked the song. She had never heard it before. She would have to get a copy, it reminded her of someone. The boy in her dreams, it was sweet, like him, weirdly sweet. She hummed the song all through the funeral and when she came home. The boy was all she thought about and the song was all that escaped her lips. Hercule frowned. His thoughts were the song was a reminder of her mother. How wrong he was.

A/N: A bit of a twist for this one. Bet you all didn't see that coming! Sorry that was a bit short but I couldn't think of anything else to write. Any way, Review please!
