Sorry I haven't been updating quick enough but you all know how school goes. After much thinking I had decided that I had held the information enough and decided to let you in on the sniper's…well his identity. Whether you knew who it was (which I seriously doubt in a way) or didn't you'll enjoy this chapter nevertheless!

Only One Shot

Chapter 9: Revealed

"Trunks, we're here. Got my info?" Trunks spun around in his leather chair from infront of his computer with an annoyed look while Nanami laughed and danced around him. Gohan and Heiji gave him one look, looked at each other, and burst into laughter. "IT'S NOT FUNNY!!!" Trunks yelled and glared at the little girl he claimed was demonic.

She had snuck into his room the night before and braided his long purple hair into braids tied with ribbons and butterfly clips at the end. He had makeup on his face as well as red lipstick but you could barely see it now. Yet no matter how much he tried and inventions he used he couldn't get the ribbons and clips off. It was as if they were attached to him.

"If SOMEONE kept their DEMONIC CHILD with THEM this NEVER would've happened!" Trunks yelled and glared at the giggling girl. Gohan motioned to the girl to come up to him. He opened his hand and she cautiously placed the stuffed dog there. Heiji stood to the side and watched with curiosity.

Gohan placed the dog behind him then brought out both his hands. Nanami gasped and ran around him in circles. He stopped her and gave her a smile. He waved his fingers in the air and tugged a little at her hair. She gave him a confused look and gasped again as he pulled out the stuffed dog from behind her.

She reached for it but he shook his head. She gave him a curious look as he placed his hands behind him again. He showed her both hands then took an old top hat from inside Trunks' wooden chest. He placed the hat on his palm up hand and then when he pulled it up a real live German shepherd puppy sat on his hand.

She squealed with glee as it yipped and Gohan handed it to her. She cradled it gently and skipped off to play with it. "Great, Gohan has brought that demonic beast Cujo back from its grave." Trunks said sarcastedly and Gohan shut him up with a death glare. Trunks mumbled as Heiji looked at Gohan in surprise.

In that little act of giving a puppy to his daughter in the form of an interesting magic trick (which he reminded himself to find out how he did that exactly) his face grew softer and he looked like a guardian angel giving his charge what she wanted and deserved. He snorted at that. 'Guardian angel my ass,' He thought, 'Angel of Death is more like it.'

Immediately after giving Nanami her new pet and she had gone out of view Gohan's face went into its usual cold, calm, unbreakable mask. "How did you do that trick Gohan? I've never seen anything like it!" Gohan gave him a smirk. "A magician never reveals his secret." Heiji chuckled and Trunks rolled his eyes.

"Whatever Gohan but I found that stuff you were looking for." Trunks tossed him the folder and Gohan caught it. As he read it Heiji looked over his shoulder and his face soon turned into pure shock. "Trunks get in touch with your father and tell him this: Two lions fight amidst black roses." Trunks gave him an odd look but nodded.

"After you've done that I want you to get all your ammo and weapons ready." Trunks nodded again and got to work. "Great I joined another mafia." Heiji said, throwing his hands up sarcastedly. "G-Unit here I come." Gohan just shook his head at his sarcasm. "Heiji you've gone insane. Hardly a role model for your child."

"And you are?" Heiji retaliated but Gohan knew he was joking around, especially with that smirk on his face. "Of course." The two chuckled and Trunks paid them no heed as he tried taking out the clips and ribbons while typing with one hand on the computer. They laughed at his predicament and said goodbye to Nanami before leaving.

"Hey Heiji, where do you want me to drop you off? I have to go do something real quick before I get back to the police department." Heiji gave him a curious glance but shrugged it off. "Just drop me off at the PD. Someone's gotta protect Gordon from the child of Satan!" They laughed at his little joke and after awhile stopped at the station.

"Tell them I'll be in soon. If Videl asks tell her I went to run a few errands." Heiji saluted with a grin. "Aye, aye, Capitan!" Gohan rolled his eyes and drove off. As soon as he turned the corner Heiji turned serious and gazed grimly where Gohan turned and walked into the police department.

"Well, well, if it isn't my old pupil Gohan. What do I owe the pleasure and honor of your presence?" Gohan sat down in an old chair and looked at the man before him. He looked the same as ever but then again why wouldn't he? The man turned off his tv and faced Gohan, eyes locking onto his own.

He had long straight black hair that stopped midway down his back. It was tied in a loose ponytail with a black rubber band at the nape of his neck. His face was one who was 30-35 and he was muscled like Gohan. His eyes were dark orbs like Gohan's as well but had an interesting glint of dark emerald in them.

Gohan maneuvered his tail out of his pants and the man followed his example. In the middle of them the tails met, curled around each other, and moved up in down in a saiya-jin version of a handshake. As soon as their tails let go the tension in the air was lifted. "I was just coming to ask about the person claiming to be your son Avon."

Avon scowled in his seat and crossed his arms over his wife beater. "I don't have a son. He was…killed." There was slight silence at that. The Saiya-jin Hunt was hard on everyone, especially on the ones who survived it. "If you clearly remember my wife Rachel she had an affair with some guy named Barney Tinky-Winky."

"What the hell? Barney Tinky-Winky?!" Avon snorted. "Don't ask. Anyway I met him a while back when we were divorcing, he was ugly as hell. He had green eyes and blackish-purplish hair as well." Gohan raised an eyebrow. "He also kept humming the tune of the Teletubbies and Barney's 'I Love You' song."

"Talk about mental." Gohan said disgustedly. "You haven't seen mental until you've heard this." Avon said with a disturbed look on his face. "Rachel thought he was 'so cute for carrying her purse for her EVERYWHERE'." Gohan's face scrunched up in disgust. "What did she see in him?" Avon shrugged then cleared his throat.

"Who knows? Women are one of god's many mysteries. Anyway they had some kid later on and he has attributes from both. Don't know what the kid's name is but I know he's some sort of rich detective or something." Gohan nodded his head and went back to the matter of hand. "You've heard right?" Avon smirked. "Yup, wouldn't miss it for the world!"

They sat in silence for a while until Avon randomly said, "I always wanted to kill that purple haired bastard." Gohan placed his feet on the foot rest and leaned back. "Then why didn't you?" Avon scowled. "I didn't want to make some grand public appearance and suddenly kill him! Plus I would never steal from Rachel, no matter how much I hate him."

"You should've done it anyway. After what he did to you he deserved to die."

"I was supposed to be dead remember? Cortez, that bastard, always hated me. That's why he had me go halfway around the fucking world to kill some bastard named Father Miguel who I found out was actually his father." Avon crossed his arms over his chest and mimicked Gohan's position.

"Turns out his dear old dad was going to use his position as the head of the Catholic Church to get rid of Cortez who was gaining too much power here in Satan City. He would've succeeded if I hadn't killed him and I would've let him if I knew." Gohan nodded and looked at him curiously. "So you got into the middle of a sort of family feud?"

"Yeah. I think Cortez knew I knew who the man I killed was and tried to kill me as well. I'm sure you remember that I faked my death with your help and got away from Cortez before he could place the blame on me and hunt me down like a dog." Gohan knew about that. Cortez blamed him for doing things in the past.

"Well I have to go before Cortez and the SP start looking for me." Avon stood up and shook Gohan's hand this time and gave him his new cell number in case he needed to contact him. Only for 911 cases of course. Gohan gave him his cell number and told him not to call between the hours of 10PM-2AM. They joked for a while on that and Gohan left.

From his position, the sniper cast a practiced eye over the area. So far so good. He looked across the top of the apartment building to see the light on in a window in the apartment across the street. A black figure could be seen moving past the drapes. Scanning the area again, he began preparing his sniper rifle.

"Are you sure this is going to work?" A figure said, laying on his stomach 500 yards from the target. Another figure lay on his stomach as well and was loading his sniper rifle. "Shut up, I know what I'm doing. I AM the son of Avon after all." The other figure rolled his eyes. "Yeah whatever 'Great Son of Avon' but even YOU are obligated to screw up."

The son of Avon rolled his eyes and daintily picked up third golden bullet and smiled evilly at it before cocking the gun. "Is that an Anti-Saiya-jin Bullet?" Avon grunted as he tried to find the figure on the roof of the apartment with his night vision scope. "Shut up Gerard I'm working. You might make me screw up."

"You're already screwed up." He muttered. "What was that?!" Gerard shrugged innocently and the other man scowled. Muttering obscenities under his breath, the man took aim. "Hey where'd he go?" Gerard blinked a few times and squinted his eyes. They felt a slight breeze from behind them and the man turned quickly, firing a shot.

Gerard's eyes widened in the dim light. The sniper grunted as he felt the searing pain burning at his side. It felt like his whole right side was set on fire. He could feel his ki slowly dwindled down and brought out his silencer, shooting Gerard between the eyes. "Dead men tell no tales!" he growled and clumsily barely dodged the bullet heading for him.

He was at a great disadvantage. His eyesight was beginning to blur as the second bullet hit him somewhere on the chest. He blinked, trying to figure out the dim blurry shape that seemed to be moving everywhere. Finally he brought his gun up and shot. The man howled and clutched his chest.

Almost simultaneously they coughed up blood at the same time. "Die bastard!" he hissed and with his good hand fired off a shot and jumped off the building. The sniper had no time to dodge the bullet as he never even gold the golden piece of metal coming. The runes on it glowed and hit him on his shoulder as he tried to dodge after hearing the gunshot.

He made his way back to his original position and felt like he was on fire. Sweat began pouring off him in buckets and his eyesight was blurry and distorted. He felt numb and could barely pick up his sniper rifle. He panted as he made his way off the building. Looking at the apartment across the street he saw the light off and prayed she'd open the door.

Videl sat straight up as she thought she heard something. She looked around cautiously and shrugged. She was about to go back to sleep when she heard a knock at her door. Confused, she put on a robe. "I'm coming!" she growled at the fifth knock and opened the door. What she saw shocked and surprised her. "Gohan?!"

I bet you were expecting that huh? Well at least most of you were. I bet you want some answers now huh? Don't worry, that'll be in the next chapter! I'll try to write it this weekend but I won't make any promises. Anyway, remember to review! Oh and don't make any conclusions yet, there is still a few more chapters coming!
