Chorus:
I'm not the one who's so far away
When I feel the snake bite enter my veins
Never did I wanna be here again
And I don't remember why I came

Candles raise my desire
Why I'm so far away
No more meaning to my life
No more reason to stay
Freezing feeling,
Breathe in, breathe in
I'm coming back again

6 Days After Videl Made Her Wishes

Planet Vegeta

Palace

Gohan's Bedchamber

Gggg

Gohan groaned in pleasure, "Videl…I'm almost there."

"Me, too," Videl said, voice full of lust, "Don't cum yet. Let's do it together."

Gohan tried to nod, but he felt his orgasm close. Trying to make Videl go off with him, he sped up his movements in powerful thrusts. With his last thrust, both him and Videl moaned loudly as their orgasms washed over them.

Gohan stood still for a few seconds, catching his breath, before getting up and walking towards the bathroom after giving Videl a few kisses. Videl, too, got up and tried to put on her clothes. When she was putting on her spandex pants back on, she noticed that her legs were still buckling.

"Damn him," Videl cursed under her breath, "He ALWAYS does that to me!"

Laughing at the thought of it, Videl moved on to putting back on her shirt. As she pulled it over her shoulder , her finger accidentally ran over two needle-like wounds that were on her collarbone. Forgetting that she was trying to put her shirt back on, she pulled it back off and walked over to the large mirror by the closet.

Reaching up a shaking hand, she traced over the sore wounds lightly, as if she was making sure that it was really there. There were so many thoughts she was having whenever she thought about the bond that her and Gohan had remade their first night back together.

Her first reaction was how happy she was with having him back. Sure he did some things while she was gone, but she also felt how lonely he was and she also saw that he fought it as hard as he could. She was just happy that he always loved her.

However, something else always came to mind. Her thoughts went back to the conversation that they had before she made her wishes. Gohan had told her that the day that they first bonded was the worst day of his life. If that was true, did he still feel that way? Did he regret making the bond again? She knew that he was happy to be with her, but had he meant to take it that far right away?

A sound behind Videl interrupted her thoughts. She spun around to see Gohan, fully clothed, sitting on the edge of the bed with a sad look on his face. She said his name to get him to look at her, but he avoided looking strait at her.

"Gohan," Videl whispered, sitting next to him, "Baby, what's wrong?"

Gohan looked at his lap, "You really think that I didn't want to bond with you again? I know what I said before, but we won't be torn apart again."

Videl gasped, "Oh, Gohan! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to think that. It's just a little worry I had. It's really not that important."

Gohan frowned, "It is important for you to know, Videl. I wanted this. Trust me, hell, don't trust me. All you have to do is go though my thoughts, and then you'll know that I'm speaking the truth. I love our bond."

Videl lifted his head and made him look into her eyes, "I don't need to check. I trust what you say."

Gohan smiled slightly, "I love you, Videl."

Videl blushed, "I love you, too."

Worried that they were going to end up doing their naughty things again, Gohan stood. Personally, he wanted to do those things all day, but he had to go protect that damn bastard, Leader, from Kakkarot. Supreme kai owed him big time.

Hazing clouds rain on my head
Empty thoughts fill my ears
Find my shade by the moon light

Zasha walked over to her favorite patch of flowers, laying down beside them. Flipping on her side, she stared at their beauty. She always wondered how such a fragile thing could look so perfect.

That also applied for what her and Gohan once had. They were so beautiful together. Excellent sex, a child, and each of them were the envy of every saiyan on the planet. The female saiyans were jealous that Zasha had Gohan, and the guys were jealous that Gohan had Zasha.

However, like the flowers right in front of her face, that relationship was fragile, and it fell apart. Zasha wasn't sad by it, but she did miss all the things they did together. Also, she missed how handsome he looked when they were entwined together. That's what she wanted back.

Zasha knew that she could never have Gohan back, though. Zasha had walked into Gohan's room without knocking a few nights before, and caught an eyeful of Gohan and Videl going at it. That didn't even affect her that much at all. What got to her was the fresh wounds on each other's neck that had a little blood dripping down their bodies.

As Zasha stood paralyzed in the doorway, Gohan and Videl had both stopped and turned towards her, each with a look on their face that asked what she wanted, and that kind of look in that situation could only be made by a saiyan. Zasha had then laughed nervously, and quickly closed the door.

Now, as Zasha came back from that memory, she found herself asking the flowers, if not no one at all, "Who will I be with now?"

Then, as if a sign from the heavens, Zasha noticed Demon on the other side of the Garden, quietly sleeping in the short grass. Zasha then felt stupid, not hearing his loud snoring until then.

The sister of Vegeta got up from where she had been and quietly made her way to Demon, careful not to wake him. As she got within a foot of him, she had to use every last bit of her energy not to laugh right then at the younger version of her ex-lover.

Gggg

A/N: Hey guys. Sorry to add a note in the middle of a story, but something just kept getting at me. Okay, well, Demon is grown up! I keep thinking of him as a kid still, but he was accepted as an advisor, making him physically 20 yrs. Old. That keeps making me mess up because I don't remember half the time. So, if you think that he's acting kinda childish, then you can remember this. Even though he is physically 20, he's still mentally 11. Sorry for interrupting!

Gggg

Demon, in a deep sleep, was snoring softly now as a bubble in his nose inflated every time he took a breath in, and deflated every time he exhaled.

Sitting down right beside him, Zasha rested her head on her hands as she stared at Demon with a amused smile on her face. Honestly, she thought it was really cute, not at all like King Gohan, who looked serious when he slept. Demon actually had an innocent side! If he woke up and saw Zasha there, she was sure that he'd try to literally bite her head off.

Deciding that she was to good to get caught, she gathered all her courage and ran her fingertips through his bangs, down the side of his face and jaw line, and then down his chest.

Demon shivered, "Mm, Zasha. Stop it. I don't like being tickled."

Zasha gulped. Demon was awake! Not knowing what to do, she just sat there and waited for him to do something. However, Demon had begun to snore again.

Zasha wanted to laugh. Demon was sleep-talking! That sparked an idea inside of her head. With a mischievous smirk on her face, Zasha leaned closer to Demon's ear, "Hey, sexy. What are you doing?"

"Zasha, quit playing. You know what I'm doing." mumbled Demon in a barely audible voice.

Zasha snickered, then leaned back down and whispered, "Yes, but I want you to tell me, cutie."

Demon growled, "Fine!" There were a few words that he said that were too mumbled for Zasha to understand, though she figured that they were most likely curses. Leaning in closer, Zasha caught the last few words he said, "…and grabbing your nice ass."

Zasha sat strait up with a deep blush of her face. Demon was dreaming about grabbing HER ass! 'Damn!' she thought to herself, 'This boy is very naughty! I just might be able to get him into bed!'

Calming down, Zasha began to whisper to him again, "Do you want me, Demon?"

Demon didn't answer. Just as Zasha thought he wasn't going to answer, he mumbled, "Yes."

Zasha kept it going, "Am I attractive?"

Even though he was asleep still, Demon's head gave a furious nod that Zasha couldn't help but giggle slightly. Wanting to continue, Zasha started to lean down. However, as she was about to speak, she noticed that Goten and Krystal's energy was close to the garden. They were going to enter and destroy her fun!

Wanting to do one last thing, Zasha leaned back down towards Demon's ear, "I have to go, Demon. Can I give you a present?"

Goten and his mate were close as Zasha waited impatiently for Demon's answer. Finally, after a few seconds, Demon nodded.

Zasha smirked and quickly, but lightly, touched his lips with hers, and then bolted into the sky and towards the other side of the palace.

Gggg

Demon woke up suddenly, and he sat strait up. Looking around, he searched for whatever it was that was making him feel odd. However, nothing was out of the ordinary.

Remembering his dream, he looked down at his lap and groaned. He hated when he woke up from one of those dreams, which he was having more and more often recently. At least this time he got a simple kiss at the end of his dream. Demon sighed as he wished that he could get one from Zasha in real life, instead of only in dreams.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Demon quickly covered his lap with his arms. Goten and Krystal walked in, waving to him. Demon waved back slightly, "Hey, you two. What's up?"

Goten smiled, "Nothing much. What you doing?"

"Actually, I come here a lot when I want a quick nap."

Krystal frowned, "Hmm, that's weird. We thought you were talking to Zasha. Just before we came here, we felt her take off to the other side of the castle."

Demon blinked. Looking down at the ground beside him, he noticed that the grass was matted down. His eyes widening, Demon's fingers shot up to his lips.

Goten looked at him strangely, "What's the matter? You look like you've just seen a ghost."

Getting over the shock, Demon smirked. Zasha had kissed him, but he wasn't supposed to know. He could use this to his advantage, "Nothing, I just remembered that I had to go see Gohan."

Goten and Krystal both smiled and waved bye to Demon as he walked out of the garden.

Planet Vegeta

Advisor's Meeting Room

Gggg

Gohan was going over his plans with Vegeta, who was to take Gohan's place as king while he was gone fighting Kakkarot. Vegeta was going to stay at Planet Vegeta and fight Goku when he came.

Gohan looked down at the map of the planet and pointed to spot over to the other side of the planet. Vegeta looked at the spot and memorized it. Gohan explained it, "This is where I want all of the battles to take place. None of our people should be around there. Even if you can't fight at this location, try to draw Goku and the rest away from all people and cities."

Vegeta nodded, "Right. I can handle that. With the power of this fusion, I think we may just be able to get through this without any casualties."

Gohan frowned, "Vegeta, I'm going to fight Kakkarot. He's not only the Goku who I almost didn't beat before we got sent here, but he's basically been in and out of the time chamber for years. Chances are that he's over twice as strong as I am. I might not make it back alive. If I don't, then wish me back with the earth dragonballs."

Vegeta nodded slowly, "You can count on me, Gohan. Kakkarot also knows a lot of power-up moves. Kioken, not to mention how he multiplies it if he needs. Also, there's the Pasis Sacrifice technique that he used against you in the past."

Gohan smirked, despite all those things, "Yeah, he knows a lot. But don't forget that I used to have a machine that had every technique ever made. He may know some good tricks, but I know them, too, and much more."

Vegeta smirked, "You already have some in mind that can beat him, don't you?"

Gohan laughed nervously, "Nope, not a damn one!"

Vegeta slapped his forehead.

As Vegeta and Gohan were about to continue talking strategies, a wicked laugh erupted from the shadows. Vegeta growled and got into a fighting stance. Gohan only smirked, "I was wondering how long you were planning on staying hidden over there."

The figure came out into the light, "Damn, you've gotten way better."

Gohan laughed, "You, too. So, how've you been, Shadow?"

Shadow shrugged his shoulders, "Bored as hell. I've been trying to track down my other half, Death, but no luck. Then, back in this dimension, I hear there's about to be another battle between you and Kakkarot."

Gohan sighed, "Yeah, and it's to protect Leader, of all people."

"I've heard. You think you can do it?"

Gohan chuckled, "Well, I have been able to fly since I was four. I'm sure that mean I can pull at least one trick out of my ass."

Shadow grinned, "You'll do it somehow. I have faith in you."

"Thanks. So, you just here to visit?"

Shadow shook his head, "No. Actually, I was hoping that I could take Aurora for a few days. I know that it's not a good time to lose a warrior, but she needs to complete the last of her training."

Gohan smiled, "Sure, she should be out in the mountains right now. That's where she spends most of her time these days."

"Thanks. Well, I'll see you later." said Shadow as he disappeared.

Entrance Hall

Gohan looked around the room as everyone he was close to looked back at him. As of yet, only certain people knew that he was leaving to go fight Kakkarot. Now, here he was, moments away from telling them and leaving.

Not that he forgot to tell people, but Gohan liked it better this way. If he told them sooner, then there would be a lot of looks and feeling up until the second he left. That's not what he wanted. It was already bad enough that he was going to fight just to protect Leader, which he'll accidentally forget to mention.

Gggg

Seeing that everyone was there, and all attention was on him, he started, "Hey, guys. Well, as some of you know, I'm going to be leaving for the next couple days."

Videl, Bulma, and Vegeta nodded. They were the only ones who knew so far. The rest were all yelling, asking questions, and whispering amongst themselves. Gohan cleared his throat loudly, silencing everyone else.

"Now," Gohan started again, "Supreme Kai has asked me to do a favor for him. That favor is to protect someone by fighting Kakkarot. Not Goku, but the actual Kakkarot. It seems that the Goku from my time escaped, and has now reverted to Kakkarot, his saiyan personality. Now, I have to fight him."

Goten ran up to the front, "Brother, surely he's stronger now. Are you sure you can beat him?"

"No, I'm not sure." Gohan replied simply.

"Gohan," Goten reasoned, "Let some of us go with you! You'll need the help."

Gohan shook his head, "No, you can't. See, there's more. Kakkarot has been training this timeline's Goku, and Goku will come here with the Z Fighters while I'm after Kakkarot. You need to stay here, Goten."

Goten just bowed his head down. He had nothing more that he could say. However, someone else didn't give up as easily.

"I'm going, then."

Gohan looked around for the person who said that, and saw Demon walking towards the front, "Demon?"

Demon nodded, "Yes, I shall go as well. I need the exercise, not to mention that Goku is coming here for me. It is safer if I'm not here when he shows."

Vegeta coughed, "He's right, Gohan. You should take him. Get some of the crazy ideas you had at his age out of his system now."

Gohan tried to protest. However, there wasn't anything that he could think of to say. Frowning, he turned around and started to walk out of the palace. As he reached the door, he stopped, "Fine. Hurry up, Demon. I'm not waiting for long."

Demon smiled and ran over to Gohan, "I'm ready."

Gohan looked at Demon, "You're ready? Don't you have to go get your battle gear and any other things you might need?"

Demon reached into his pocket and pulled out three capsules, "I'm always ready. Now, let's go."

Gohan grabbed Demon's shoulder, and two seconds later they both vanished, leaving everyone else in the entrance hall.

Videl sighed, "There they go. I hope they get through it okay."

Zasha slumped. Demon just HAD to go! Damn! Looking around the depressed room, she decided to liven the mood, "Have you noticed that Gohan and Demon look almost exactly the same? Well, they're supposed to, but it's still weird. The only difference is that Gohan has hair like Radditz, and Demon has short hair."

Bulma caught on, "Also, Demon has pure black hair. Gohan has black hair and blue tips."

Videl smiled, "Not to mention that Gohan is more toned than Demon."

Vegeta slapped his forehead, "I'm out of here."

All of the guys quickly agreed and left, but the girls stayed to talk about Gohan and Demon's muscles.

Gggg

Gohan and Demon

Planet Name Unknown

Gggg

Gohan and Demon materialized onto a desolate planet, with nothing but crumbled buildings and bones of what looked like saiyans. Looking off to the right, Gohan noticed some movement. Looking to the right, Demon saw some movement as well.

Before either of the two were able to tell each other, they were both caught in a blaze of wind, making them close their eyes. Once the wind stopped, they opened their eyes to find themselves surrounded by hundreds of saiyans that were sent here for breaking rules on Planet Vegeta.

Right when they were about to attack, there was a mighty yell that stopped them dead in their tracks. Gohan and Demon watched in confusion as each and every saiyan bowed and scooted away from the two. That is, except for one saiyan.

As the single saiyan made his way over to Gohan and Demon, the other saiyans bowed even further down when he walked by. Only when the saiyan was a few feet away from Gohan, did the other saiyans rise and draw closer to each other, until the path which the one saiyan took was completely covered.

Gohan, despite his opponent's obvious advantage, did not back down or even show the faintest trace of fear, nor did Demon. Actually, they were quite excited.

Gohan weighed his options. He could wipe out every saiyan on the planet, or go with the plan that Supreme Kai had asked for. It was hard, but he finally gave up the idea of killing everyone, knowing that it would leave him highly winded for the fight with Kakkarot, which he could not afford.

Instead, Gohan smirked and looked at the one saiyan who dared to stand this close to him, "Let me guess, you're Leader. Am I right?"

The saiyan ignored his question, "And you must be King Gohan. Some of my soldiers say that you made quite the moving speech about me when you fist arrived. Were all the things you said about me true? Did I break the bond you had with your mate?"

Gohan frowned, "Yes, you did. I got it back now, but I still don't forgive you."

Leader laughed, "And I never asked you to. So, what brings you here to my planet? Bringing the fight to me, are you?"

Gohan shook his head, "Not that. Actually, you're about to be ambushed."

That made Leader chuckle, "What pathetic army is after me?"

"It's not an army?"

Leader smirked, "Oh? Not an army? So, it's an entire empire?"

Gohan shook his head, "You're misunderstanding me. It's one person. However, it's not to be taken lightly. If you were to face him alone, you would not survive the upside of one minute."

Leader laughed loudly, "The lies you tell! Bravo."

Demon growled, his first sound since being on the planet, "Idiot! It's no lie. In fact, the only reason Gohan decided to even help is because a god asked him to!"

Leader raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

Gohan glared at Demon, "Demon, shut up! He doesn't need to know shit!"

One saiyan in the crowd gave a loud growl and jumped into the air to attack Gohan. Not even looking, Gohan raised his arm quickly, then blasted him.

Leader tried to remain calm, "I don't care who you are. I don't care why you're here. Never kill a member from my army!"

Once again, outraged by the death, another saiyan jumped to attack Gohan. Another shot rang out, this time by Leader, himself.

"Also, and this one is for my army, never attack without permission."

As Leader and Gohan continued to glare at each other, Demon looked around, trying to gather information about his enemy. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed one saiyan that was smirking.

Panic flashed over Demon, "Gohan, he's here!"

Both Gohan and Leader's heads jerked in the direction of Kakkarot and got into battle stances. Kakkarot smirked even more deeply as he made his way to the front, slowly.

As Kakkarot neared, Gohan and Leader looked at each other. Leader sighed, "Is he really as strong as you say he is?"

Gohan nodded, "As much as I hate to admit it, we both need to join forces to win this. Deal?"

Leader hesitated, "Deal."

Just as Kakkarot got close, both Gohan and Leader rushed forward and yelled out, "ATTACK!"
