Gohan and Setsuna stood in the forest with nothing but their thoughts to keep them company. After Gohan's stunning but also frightening transformation, he began to really question the young animal that did this to him. Setsuana stood quietly after Gohan asked her why she didn't appear to him as a human girl, and she didn't know if she'd be able to answer. Her body shook slightly and he just watched her. Immediatly she went from being full of life and excitement, to being paralyzed and scared.

"What's the matter Setsuna?" Gohan asked. Setsuna shook her head softly, and looked up at him with tears in her eyes. He spirit had floated away the minute the first tear slid down her soft face.

"This is just a hard subject..."she trailed off, "but, I think that I owe it to you because you are now in the same position as me almost. To be honost this whole thing was not supposed to happen, at least not for the next one thousand years."

Gohan was skeptical and confused. "One thousand years?" He asked as he sat down to listen. Setsuna nodded.

"This is a very unique and strange ability, and only three families in the entire world have been chosen to harness it. This is not to say that everyone knows how to use it. Your family, mine, and one other has had this power sleeping in their bodies since the first generation was born, and every one thousand years it is released and used for whatever pupose they see fit."

Gohan nodded in response but placed another puzzled look on his face. "How is this a mistake? Hasen't it been another millenium?" He asked. Again Setsuna shook her head and sighed.

"No, it has not. This power was forced upon me when i was a very small child, about the age of three." Setsuna started to shake and her voice became softer, trembling as each word was forced out. "My mother...was one of the three that as supposed to have this power. Her time was almost up, and was about to seal it back into her body,never to be used again. My father was a scientist, and he was very smart, but he was jealous that my mother, a woman, was able to control such an ability. He would spend hours in his lab, trying to figure out how to unlock it from inside of himself. Eventually he found out that only my mothers side of the family had it. In fury, he murdered my mother before my eyes, and used his science to force this power out of me. This power rests in all of us, but if it is not our time to use it, then it just sleeps forever. Unfortunatly it was brought out when it was not time,causing a chain reaction for those in my own timeline."

Gohan didn't know what to say. He was looking into the eyes of a girl whos life was robbed from her. She never knew the feeling of having a close family when she grew up, or having a father to look after her like he did. He swallowed hard as he watched her tears begin to fall, staining the grass and dirt beneath her small paws.

"I'm sorry..I didn't mean to upset you," Gohan said with regret in his voice. Setsuna smile softly and stood up.

"I don't need you to feel sorry for me. I need you to help me. Because the balance was messed up, I am responsible for finding the other two who's time it is as well to have their ability released. After we do what we are destined to do, whatever it may be and however long it will take, the power will be sealed and taken away from us until another one thousand years pass."

Gohan stared at the girl, his mind travelling back and forth at the story just told to him. Why should he believe it? Why should he even consider helping a strange animal? His head spun, but he couldn't shake this gut feeling that told him he should try and help Setsuna.

His lips curled,and his eyes narrowed. The two creatures he had been waching this whole time were only inches from his body. His light breathes showed that he was hiding, trying not to be seen or heard by them. With a quick and almost silent growl, he creeped away from the unsuspecting figures.

"Hmph,Setsuna, you think by simply recruting more stupid dipshits that I'll back off? Highly unlikely..." He said as he glared behind him. His eyes burned red with anger,and his face showed little to no emotion. He continued walking, a large katana sword stained with blood resting on his back.
