Wow, 121 reviews! That is so great, I can't believe I got some many reviews from after my last chapter. I'm glad you all are enjoying this story. I haven't been in the writing mood lately but you all have to forgive me for that. But to make it up, I wrote a longer chapter then I usually do, because I got over 100 reviews. At first, I wasn't sure how to make this chapter long for the review special, but I came up with an idea at the end. So I hope you all enjoy this chapter.

Sorry that I haven't been updating lately. I was grounded. But I'm back now, and sorry for the wait.

Hidden Bars

Friendship *Review Special *

Mikia dragged Gohan to hill. The blue suns were shining so brightly as Gohan closed his eyes. He felt so warm, for the first time in his life. He felt like he had a blanket around him. Gohan breathed in the air, it was a little thick, but still didn't ruin the moment. The wind was blowing in his face, he always loved the wind. He loved the way it moved in his hair. It bought him flashbacks of him running in the woods, he knew the woods so well. He loved everything in the woods. Heck, he knew more then his father about them. Gohan could feel some tears coming, all this hurt. It made his stomach hurt, it made his heart race, the way he felt when he had to kill. It was so painful.

"Gohan?"

Gohan opened his eyes and looked down at the Princess. She grabbed his hand as she took a step and looked down the hill.

"Have you ever rolled down a hill Gohan?"

Gohan looked down at Mikia, she looked so serious as she looked down at the bottom of the hill. Has he ever rolled down a hill? It was like asking, have you ever breathed air. He use to do that all the time, rolling down hills with his father was something he always did before Radiz came, after that though, they didn't do it as much, or sometimes, Gohan had to do it alone.

Gohan shook his head. Mikia looked up at the teenager and smiled, she let go of his hand and took off her crown, and placed it next to the only tree on the hill. It had purple leaves, and one fell on Gohan's head. Mikia started laughing as Gohan brushed it away.

"Roll down this hill with me."

Gohan looked down at Mikia, he wasn't sure if he could. He wasn't sure if he would enjoy himself. But before Gohan could say anything, Mikia grabbed his arm and they both started rolling down the hill.

Gohan started to smile, although he was getting pretty dizzy, he enjoyed this. It wasn't just rolling down the hill, it was hearing the Princess laughing. She was laughing like there was no tomorrow. He never knew someone that could laugh like her, not even his father. Just then, Gohan's vision became black. Gohan's eyes widen as his head started hurting. He couldn't see a thing, he felt himself still rolling down the hill, and the laughs coming from Mikia. Gohan tired to stop himself, but failed.

Then, Gohan couldn't hear anything. The laughs, the wind, the sound of Gohan rolling down the hill. Gohan could not even hear himself panicking, he was turning his head, that was the only thing he had left. Was the feeling, although everything else was gone, he could still feel himself rolling down the hill, touching the grass. The headache he was getting, and feeling of panic.

Then, with a flash, his body was numb. Gohan could not feel or move anything. He felt nothing. Gohan could not even feel the sun and the wind on his face. Now Gohan had nothing, he could not feel anything around him, or in himself. The demi-saiyan was lost, lost within nothing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"GOHAN!"

Mikia yelled as she started shaking Gohan. His eyes were wide open, but he wasn't moving, she could hear soft cries coming from his lips but that was it. He was still breathing, and his heart was pounding as fast as she could even dream.

"What did you do?"

Mikia turned around to see her sister looking at Gohan with her eyes wide open. Mikia started forming tears in her eyes.

"I didn't do anything, we were rolling down the hill and then when we reached the bottom he was like this! I swear AJ I did nothing."

AJ moved in closer to Gohan and put her ear to his heart.

"His heart is pounding really fast. I can't even count."

"Let's take him home."

"No, we might hurt him even more."

Mikia started forming tears in her eyes again and glanced back at Gohan. AJ grabbed Gohan's hand.

"Fight it."

Mikia looked over at AJ, she was looking into Gohan's widen eyes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gohan opened his eyes, and saw nothing. He looked all around him, there was nothing but blackness. Gohan got up and started walking around.

"Hello?"

Gohan heard nothing, he looked at his hands.

"Did I die?"

He asked himself aloud, but hear nothing but echoes. Gohan started to form tears as he smiled.

"Finally, I died. I must be in hell."

He looked down at his hands, but saw nothing but darkness. Gohan started crying, but he had a smile on his face.

"Gohan."

Gohan looked up from hearing his name, it sounded a lot like Vanlash. It was coming from his left.

"Boy."

"Golden freak."

"Brat."

Gohan covered his ears. Tomack, Weller, and Rexter voices filled his ears. He yelled at them to stop, but they didn't.

"Gohan."

Gohan let go of his ears a looked over to his right, these voice sounded a lot nice, Gohan started to cry, he knew who's voice that was.

"Dad?"

Gohan got no answer.

"Gohan."

"Gohan."

"Gohan."

"Gohan."

"Gohan."

Chi-chi, Piccolo, Krillin, Vegeta, and Dende. He knew those voices, he would never forget them. Although with all the dreams and flashbacks he had, Gohan lost sight of their looks long ago, but he remembered their voices. Each had a way of talking that moved him.

"STOP IT!"

Gohan yelled as he covered his ears once again and cried. He hated it, he hated this. It would just be better if he forgot them. They slowed him down, they made him yell for their names at night. The voices stop, Gohan looked up. He sighed, and started to weep for them. The Gohan couldn't make up his mind. It hurt him every time, it never ends, not for the care taker, not for the murderer, not for Gohan, never. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Gohan, pull threw."

AJ whispered as she gave his hand a little squeeze. Mikia looked up at her sister. She looked worried, like she was about to break down into tears that very minute. Mikia was already in tears as she heard Gohan moaned. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gohan looked up into the darkness, there was no way out. He would never see the light of day again. It was sick in a way. Being trapped in a never ending dark room, or whatever he was in for forever and longer. Gohan sighed, at least he didn't hear any voices. His head was burning though, sweat begin to drop from Gohan's head, and into his mouth. It was a sweet bitter taste, but then, out of no where, it was blood. Gohan knew the taste and the feeling anywhere. Gohan's sweat was blood now, as he felt it falling from his face. Gohan was looking of any wounds but could not find anything that could cause the blood to fall. Gohan just ignored it, he knew he could do nothing, maybe he was dying right now. Bleeding to death, a death that was made for him.

All of a sudden, this brightness, appeared in front of Gohan. Now he could only see this light. This light was as clear as lighting. There was no color of it, it was warm, it was sweet, it made him want to give his life, just to be warmed by this light. As fast as this light appeared, Gohan's body became tight, but that didn't bother him. Gohan couldn't look away from it, it was amazing. The light dried his blood as fast as it appeared. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A tear left AJ's eye, and fell on Gohan's check.

"Gohan, pull threw." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Faster then a blink, Gohan was wet, he was wet from head to toe. But the light, the greatest light that Gohan had ever seen, dried his body, but one part of his check stayed wet.

"Gohan, pull threw."

A voice was coming out of the light, a voice that he had heard before, but sounded different. This voice sounded like it was hurt, emotionally hurt. Gohan didn't want this light to be hurt, he would throw his life away to hear happiness come from this light. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"GOHAN!"

Gohan's eyes opened, and before he was able to say something. Mikia threw her arms around Gohan.

"I'm so glad your okay."

She started to cry and Gohan put his hand on her back, and rubbed it. AJ stood up, looking at Gohan. Gohan's face was confused as he looked at Mikia crying on him.

"The light."

Gohan whispered as he looked up at AJ, who started walking away, and jumped up into the air.

"What happen Gohan."

Gohan looked down at Mikia, she started to pull away from her caretaker.

"I.the light.I don't know."

"The light? What do you mean?"

Gohan looked up, his saiyan eyes saw AJ look at him one more time, before flying at full speed.

"I. don't know."

"I'll never do that again."

Gohan looked down at Mikia.

"Do what?"

"Do.that."

Mikia pointed up at the top of the hill, and whipped a tear away.

"But, you have to."

"But after today, I don't."

"Because of me? Mikia, I heard how you were laughing. Don't stop doing something because of one thing."

"But.you."

Mikia was about to cry again, but Gohan put his arm around her.

"Don't do anything because of me."

Before Mikia could say something, Gohan picked her up and flew her to the top of the hill. Once there, he set her down, she stood there. Still shocked about what happen, as Gohan picked up her crown and gave it to her. She smiled, and put it on. Gohan closed his eyes, once again feeling the wind.

"Gohan."

Gohan looked down at Mikia, she was whipping tears away.

"I don't really have any friends. Those people at school hang around me because I'm a Princess."

Gohan titled his head at one side.

"Will you be my friend Gohan?"

Gohan looked up into the sky, a leaf fell from the tree above them and landed in Mikia's hair. Gohan brushed it away for her. He didn't really know how to answer her, he never made friends his own age, heck he's never even made a friend, all his friends have been threw his father. Other then Piccolo, but Piccolo was different then this. The only reason Piccolo took him in so he could help him defeat Vegeta. Piccolo was a lot different then this, he NEEDED a friend. But then again. Gohan looked into Mikia's eyes, they were hurting, but it wasn't her own hurt, it was her father, sister, and even his hurt. Maybe she needed a friend as much as Piccolo did.

"Yes."

Mikia smiled, she seemed more relaxed now. Gohan took Mikia's hand, and they both walked down the hill.

~~~~~~~~~~Later that Night~~~~~~~~~~~

It was dinnertime, there was tons of food on the table. So much that Gohan wasn't sure if his own father could eat it all. At dinnertime, they dressed up.

Mikia was wearing a light purple, tub top dress. Her long hair was put up in a braided pony tail. Her purple ruby was showing. The planets symbol was on the right side of her dress. She looked like she was 18 years old, any guy would fall for her.

Gohan was wearing the royal warrior clothes. They were black spandex, (a/n I know in my mind what he is wearing, lets just see if I can put it in words.). Over the spandex was a sleeve less shirt that was red and purple, the shirt was tucked into a black belt. Then he was wearing a skirt, but the lower you went, the smaller it went. Until it was just a little point at his knees. Also in red and purple (a/n Do you get what I mean?) Gohan's nails were still black. On Gohan's right side of his shirt was the symbol of the royalty of the planet.

King Tuzie was also there. He was wearing black pants and a red shirt. His robe was purple, and it fell to his feet. His red shirt had their symbol on it in purple. His cape had the symbol in red. At the sides of the King's robe was turquoise, his birth stone. He was wearing his crown, which was bigger, then AJ's and Mikia's, with turquoise rubies.

"Mikia where is your sister?"

"I don't know father."

"Can you tell her to hurry up!"

"You know I can't do that daddy. I have to stay here and hang out with that girl."

The King groaned.

"Do you even remember her name?"

Mikia stood there, trying to think of her name.

"Lila."

Gohan whispered.

"Lila!"

Mikia yelled as her father shook her head.

"At least some one was listening to me. Gohan, go get Audrajoxie before I have to go in and get her myself."

"Yes sir."

Gohan bowed to King Tuzie and started running to AJ's room.

*I don't want her to get in trouble. *

Gohan made it to AJ's door, the door was barley opened. Gohan opened the door and quietly walked inside. Gohan saw AJ on a couch, her back to him, Gohan thanked Kami for that, as he walked closer to AJ.

She was wearing a warrior suit for females. It showed her belly button but other then that is was like Gohan's. Other then her planet's colors, they were her colors, black and blue. On the right side her shirt, was the planet's symbol in purple. Her hair was the same as it always is. She had a locket around her neck.

Gohan walked a little closer to her, his guess was that she couldn't sense people's life force, lucky for him. AJ sighed, as Gohan walked a little closer. He saw her with a picture in her hand.

They girl in the picture had brown hair and brown eyes. That's all you could say about her. She looked empty, words couldn't tell you how empty she looked.

"I was 11 then."

Gohan's eyes widen, AJ had sensed him coming. Sweat begin to fall from Gohan's forehead as AJ sighed again.

"It was a year after my mom died. It was when my world came crashing down."

Gohan didn't know what to say, he knew how she felt. Everything turning bad to even worst. AJ turned her head at Gohan, Gohan took a step back.

"And what the hell are you doing in my room?"

AJ got up and threw her picture on the ground. The glass broke, Gohan's winced a little as AJ jumped over the couch and up to Gohan.

"How dare you come into my room and shy on me. I should."

AJ broke the lamp on the side table. Gohan was shocked, he couldn't believe the way AJ was acting. In ways she was like his mother. Gohan eyes widen, afaird that the Princess would attack him in some form.

"Shit."

She softly said as she looked at the broken glass in her room. She kneed down, looking around her, and crying into her hands. Gohan stood there, shocked.

**********Flashback*********

It was two nights after the Cell Games. Gohan stayed awake, with tears in his eyes. How could he fall asleep. Sleeping would just be easier on him. He killed his father, because of this careless. It was like he killed him with his mere hands. Gohan could still hear the laughing of Cell. It gave him a headache, the beginning of all his headaches, at some points, he wanted to scream. Kill himself right there.

"DANMIT GOKU!"

Gohan's head shot up as he looked at were the voice came from. It was his mother. Gohan slowly got out of his bed and slowly opened his door. He tipped toed into the living room. And lowered himself to the ground. He looked over at his mother. There was broken glass all around her, as she started screaming at nothing.

"You bastard. How dare you leave me! Do you not love me anymore? Why do I even bother Son Goku!"

Chi-chi threw down a picture of him and her on the wedding. Gohan sat there in fear, afaird of his mother for the first time. Gohan could of sworn on his life that his mother's eyes were red. The beginning of the end.

"Why?"

Chi-chi hissed at herself, for caring so much. Gohan blinked, and that was when his mother saw him. Gohan eyes widen as Chi-chi started walking toward him, with a picture in her hand.

"Don't look at me like that you bastard. How dare you!"

Chi-chi threw the picture on the ground, glass hit Gohan's face as tears from in his eyes.

"Mother."

Chi-chi closed her eyes and looked away from Gohan. Realizing what she did, but she didn't do anything.

"Just go to bed."

Gohan stood up, still shocked at his mother. He couldn't move, he just looked at his mother with tears in his eyes.

"I'm sor."

Chi-chi slapped Gohan, Gohan was shocked at what she did, he held were she slapped him.

"How dare you shy on me Son, go in your room now before I do it again."

Gohan lowered his head, and ran back into his room.

*************End of Flashback*********

Gohan dropped to his knees and also was crying. AJ looked up to see Gohan head down on the ground.

"I'm sorry."

He was saying as he was weeping. AJ got up, whipping her tears away and kneed down next to Gohan.

"Nakanaide Kudasai."

Gohan didn't do anything. AJ lifted up Gohan's chin.

"I shouldn't have done that Gohan, I'm sorry."

Gohan turned red as he looked up at AJ, AJ moved some of his hair out of his eyes.

"There, there, no need to cry Gohan. We should go, my father will be pissed."

AJ stood up and held out her hand. Gohan grabbed it and sat up. Gohan started to clam down a little as AJ put her arm around his waist. Gohan shut his eyes and winced in pain. AJ saw this, and moved her arm away from his waist, and on his back.

"Are you okay?"

Gohan didn't say anything.

*I know he didn't break down like that because of me, I have to find out what's wrong. I can't bare to see him like this. *

AJ sighed as she pulled Gohan closer to her, telling him that she will be there for him. Gohan got the message but didn't do anything in return. But deep down, AJ knew he would do the same. They both walked to the King together. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nakanaide Kudasai: Please don't cry.

I wanted to put some Japanese into my story. I want to learn it, so I will put some different words in there.

11 pages, not as long as chapter 4, but what can you say. I just had to make that one long. I hope you all enjoyed my review special. I worked hard on it.

Please review!
