The day Satan saved the World

Videl finally found Gohan walking away from an orphan's home. She was still a little pissed at him, but mainly shocked at the way he treated her. It had taken her the better part of an hour to find him, but mainly she wanted answers. "Gohan what were you doing in there? I mean last thing I know you tell me the person I know is just a mask and then you're in children's home. What is up with you to day?"

" Nothing that you would under stand. And I just having a very bad day ok. So can you just please go back to the school? I mean you have to talk in that assembly about your dad don't you."

" Shit your right. Man all this time chasing you and I forgot. Well come on lets go. I mean your coming to aren't you?"

"Maybe. Well I'll see you around." With that he just walked off toward a capsule corps. Building.

"What do mean see you around. You're coming with me. And that's final. Know lets get going." Slowly grabbing his arm and pulling him with her.

"Would you ever hang around a murder or a killer? Know I want you to think about this carefully. As if it were the most important question of your life."

"Well I guess I wouldn't," she said with a nervous tone in her voice.

"Then I suggest that you leave quickly. For you are in the presence of one as we speak." With that said he started to walk towards the large building again.

"Gohan would you please quit saying things like that. You're scaring me. And to answer your question it depends on whether or not you did it on purpose." Her voice shock as she said but the volume eagerly met the demi-sayians ears. With that he turned back around.

" Well let me tell you I did it on purpose. I've seen things that you can never imagined. Killed people who would have killed you, everyone you know, and more. Saved the world, universe, and my sanity. I want you to know the world isn't fair. The universe just plays cruel jokes on you and then you die. So I gave up and just went with what everybody thought was good for me. That's how Gohan was formed. Sure I was here first, but nobody thought I had a right to exist. I always had to study, train to save the world, watch my friends die, and then go bring them back only to see it all over again." His voice was about to leave him and the widows that were left standing were glad. "I just want everybody to leave me alone. And let me be me." With that me just broke down and cried in the middle of the street.

Videl quickly crouched down so he could lean on her. Her shirt was beginning to feel really damp, but she didn't mind. She just hoped that he would be better soon and not feel so destructive towards her. She just hoped he could learn to trust her.

"Videl let me ask you something. What were you doing when you heard your dad won the Cell games?" he said slowly wiping tears from his face.

" Well I was at home. Praying for my dad to come home safe and sound."

"You're the lucky one then. You know it's kind of funny. Sharpener was right about one thing. I was crying in my mom's lap. Cause when I heard that your father had saved us from Cell I had just got done burying some flowers."

"Gohan why would you be crying over some flowers I mean it's kinda lame?"

" Know that's the kinda attitude I would expect from Sharpener, mainly cause you didn't let me finish." Slowly he made sure his voice would be just as calm as possible and his face didn't contort. " Because the flowers are all I had left to bury after my father died since there was no body."

She just looked at him funny. She wasn't sure if it was a joke or he was being serious, but then how could anyone be so calm about saying something like that. The whole conversation was weird and now she felt like she missed the punch line or something. "Gohan did I miss some thing. I mean you just said you buried flowers because that's all you had and it looks like it doesn't even faze you."

Damn that girl. Was all he could think at the moment. Why does she always try to analyze every thing? " Well, maybe I try to not let it get to me." He said so innocently that almost anybody would have burst into tears just at the thought of such a poor creature enduring so many hardships.

"Why do you care about me Videl?" He said his voice showing how the stress of all the years of just surviving had just made him doubt all that seemed to care. " I mean what do you want from me? That's all anybody does. Act like they care then just leave when I do what they wanted. So I'm asking what do you want from me?"

Videl just stood there for a couple of minutes. That wasn't the kinda question she was prepared to answer. Sure the answer was entirely too easy. Just the right way to say it had slipped her mind. So she decided to just let the words flow form her soul. " I guess what I want form you Gohan is to be your friend. You know what it's like to feel alone in a crowd. I know you do I've been watching you since the first day we met. And you no why? You're the first person not to care I'm Hercules' daughter. You saw me a Videl. And you want to know how many people have done that since the Cell Games. 2. That's right two. You and believe it or not Erasa. Sure she like the thought that her best friend is Hercules' daughter, but she still sees me as me. And if you want I can see you as you are. All you have to do is show me who you are."

" I guess I can try to be my self for a while. So are you ready to go back." He slowly took her hand and was about to take off towards the school when he heard a scream. The voice was familiar yet a stranger to his ears. He turned around and the world stopped as if on pause. He saw the bullet about 4 inches from her breast and the sniper about 200 yards out sitting in a widow. The Barrel of his gun was tipped with a silencer. Gohan could see the smoke slowly exit opening of the attachment. He didn't know if he could move fast enough in his current form, but he would try. And then somebody hit play.
