A/N: Hello moto's! LTNS! It's my 1 year anniversary as a member. It's odd how fast time flies. Since I don't feel like doing my HW I'll type instead. And thanks for the reviews!

Chapter 10: The Highway to Hell

Two teenagers jog tiredly to what seems an endless path. Their breathing was ragged and their feet drag carelessly on the stone floor.

"How much longer is it to this King Kai anyways?" Chi-Chi whined between pants.

"Just shut up and keep running!" The black haired male answered grumpily.

"Did you just tell me shut up!" She retorted pretty pissed that he used that tone with her.

"Who else would I be talking to?" He shot back with same venom etched in his voice. They've been running to what seemed like months and the fact that Chi-Chi was so close to him nearly drove him insane. For the past few weeks he's been fighting the urge to kiss her and in order to gain some control over his senses he'd have to be even meaner than he usually is. However, he was clearly unaware that Chi-Chi was fighting the same battle.

"Don't you take that tone with me!"

"I'm not taking anything with YOU!" That statement made her blood boil.

"That's it! I can't take this anymore!" The young teen girl yelled exasperated with their continuous fighting, her hands grabbing her sweaty scalp as if she would rip her hair out of frustration. "I can't stand been anywhere within ten thousand feet of you without having the feeling that I'm in hell!" Ouch. Goku felt completely devastated but he refused to step down and continued with his tactics.

"Whoever said I liked traveling with a banshee anyways? All you ever do is bitch, bitch, bitch…" Goku shouted making his hand into a C shape and moving his fingers up down trying to imitate her voice. Now it was Chi-Chi's turn to feel horrendous. Yet her anger always seems to surface faster than her sadness. Instead of continuing to insult him she took a different approach, a physical one.

"Don't you ever call me a bitch you bastard!" She screamed slapping him on the back. Goku was completely off guard and was sent flying to the edge of the road. He tried to balance himself with his right foot on the ground and the other one swinging back and forth to gain some equilibrium. He yelped when his foot was punctured by the sharp 'scales' of the snake and lost his poise. Chi-Chi gasped as she saw Goku fall backwards and into the yellow clouds.

"Goku!" She shrieked in horror and ran to where he had fallen. She trembled violently , calling his name ongoing. But no answer reached her.

"No," she moaned miserably, "This can't be happening!" She stood up and looked down once more.

"I caused it so I have to fix it." She said drying her tears with her hands, determination filled her very being. Chi-chi didn't know what was down there or how high up she was but she didn't care. She was going to save Goku and that's that. Closing her eyes she jumped to an unknown destination.

Goku rubbed his sore butt after standing up from the long dissent.

"Chi-Chi didn't have to go that far." he mumbled to himself though a part of him was extremely worried if Chi-Chi was alright even if she wasn't the one who fell. He looked around hoping to see…to see anything to help him for that matter. He looked down at a fluffy white cloud and crouched down to its level.

"Umm..hey there could you by any chance tell me where I am?" Goku questioned while still looking at his surroundings.

"Did you bump your head or somethin'?" The cloud asked annoyed with the stranger who was able to keep his physical form. Goku however, slanted his head to side looking at the floating object in confusion.

"Yeah when I was a baby but what does that have to do with anything?" The soul sweat dropped at his naive ness.

"Look I hate to break it to you but you're in hell." Goku just mouthed a 'thank you' and bid him farewell while walking off towards a line of souls. 'In hell huh?' he thought absentmindedly. Just then it finally hit him.

"I'M IN HELL!" He shouted, his eyes wide with panic. Goku looked around with his acute eyesight to see if anybody could help him with his dilemma. He grinned when he saw a red spec with horns to his right. It looked like King Yemma so why not try? Without a second's thought he ran in full swiftness towards the spec. Oblivious to the fact that Chi-Chi fell a few seconds later from his previous spot.

"Ouch." Chi-Chi mumbled while dusting her skirt.

"Now where do I start?" She asked herself aloud looking at the wasteland.

'Psst. Hey!" Chi-Chi turned around only to be met with air. A little frightened she asked the foreign voice.

"Who said that!"

"Look below you." It answered simply. She glanced at her feet and beamed in a sheepish manner.

"Heh sorry." She apologized and squatted down. The white cloud, if it had any, rolled its eyes. Chi-Chi started with a question desperately wanting to know where she landed.

Taking a deep breath she gave a final look at all the directions trying to spot a boy in an orange gi but sadly could not spot him. The black-haired female in despair continued on with her question.

"Yeah, Where in the hell am I?" she asked to her newfound companion not really expecting the answer that she was going to hear.

"The southern part." He answered nonchantly. Chi-Chi stared at him oddly.

"Can you run that by me again?" she kind of understood what he said but not wanting to believe it herself.

"So you don't know that you're in hell either?" The cloud asked amused. Chi-Chi stared in disbelief and tried shaking it off.

"Y-you're joking right? I mean how can I be in hell if I was granted the special training?"

"It must be raining idiots today." The cloud mumbled loudly so she can hear. The young teen girl quickly dismissed the last part of comment and looked at him, hope returning to her eyes.

"Really? You saw someone else fall here?" Her tone was filled with such happiness that the soul couldn't help but 'smirk' as an evil plan hatched in his mind.

"Yeah, he was sort of like your age, black hair and eyes, a bright suit, and kind of…er…how can I put this nicely? Um naïve yeah that's the word.(A/N: Guess what he was going to say instead XD) Chi-Chi grabbed the fluffy entity and spun him around in joy not noticing little swirly eyes beginning to form.

"YES! That's him! Could you please tell me where he went?" She said placing him on the ground again. The spirit chuckled putting his plan into action.

"Sure no problem," he pointed to her left, "That way." Chi-Chi giggled.

"Oh thank you I don't know how to repay you!" The feathery cloud 'shrugged'.

"Just seeing you smile is enough for me." He answered smoothly. Chi-Chi slightly blushed at his comment.

"I don't see how someone as nice as you could end up here but thanks anyways. Bye!" And giving him one last smile she ran to the direction he told her to go.

"Oops," the cloud said mischievously, "How could I forget he went the other way?"
