* Dingdong *


Videl ran to the door and opened it. "Already?" - "I'm also happy to see you!", Gohan replied, hurt. "That was not what I meant!I was just surprised when you left only three hours ago. Isn't your mother puzzled? Now don't play the snapped liver sausage and finally come in Sayaman! "-" I just missed you so much. "Grinning, he walked past her and ran into her kitchen. Videl grimaced and finally had to smile.` Your mother gave you as punishment for not coming home Made food, that's what it looks like! "" Are you hungry? That's bad, I haven't refilled the fridge since the last time. "When she saw the pile of misery in front of the open refrigerator, she took heart and suggested calling the pizza service. They finally had 4 hours until their appointment with Diana. Gohan scratched his head like Goku Back of the head and smiled at her, embarrassed.


......


19:30 o'clock


Videl was just getting ready and thought about the afternoon again. It was nice. After they had ordered the 40 pizzas and the totally overwhelmed messenger had disappeared with a whole pile of money, Gohan had only needed 30 minutes to consume everything.After that they were still in the park and then they made themselves comfortable on Videl's bed (not what you think!) And watched TV. Gohan had told her that his mother had run through the house like a fury again after she found out that he had not been to the lectures. As always ...


"Where is she? She actually wanted to be here at 8 p.m., and now it's already 8 p.m. ... she won't have forgotten, right? Gohan? Gohan!" - "Yes? What is it?" "If she's not there in half an hour, could we go looking for her? I'm worried, she looked so reliable!" - "Don't worry, she is 23 and can take care of herself, right? But if that's what you want, we'll look for her. "" Like my mother! `






Chapter 6:




The rustling got louder and louder and Diana was still sitting frozen on the big boulder. Even if she had never admitted it, but now she was really scared.In the meantime she had already put her legs on the floor so that she could flee quickly if necessary. She looked spellbound at the bushes and waited. The only thought that crossed her mind was, 'Oh my god, I'm lost! `. She actually loved horror films, but not when she was in the lead. She was convinced that a werewolf-like monster was about to jump at her to bite or tear her apart.


Now her expectations weren't quite met, but what she saw was no less terrifying to her.


A guy at least two meters tall came out of the bushes and stared at her. Yes, he stared at her and she didn't like that at all. He also wore strange clothes, a kind of turban and a strange cloak with wide shoulder pads.


She didn't recognize what he was wearing underneath. `It can't get any worse, spend the night here, okay, but that ...` It was too dark.`screech, a freak! He's definitely totally crazy, who knows what he's up to! 'As if he had heard her thoughts, he suddenly stopped. He was about two meters away from her and looked her straight in the eye. She returned his gaze and, as if hypnotized, got up and took a small step towards him. All fear was forgotten, she looked into his eyes and lost herself in them. She realized nothing anymore. Those eyes, it seemed to her that she had seen them before. And yet they were so mysterious, so profound, so infinitely ... black.


“Are you scared?” A deep voice broke the silence. He gave her a piercing look as if he were looking for something. Diana suddenly took another step back. His words made her wake up from a trance. "Yes," she said without looking away, and she was right, the fear was back. Not that strong, but it was there. And she was different. Not afraid of him, but of what was about to happen.By now she was completely confused, she didn't know what to feel or what to do. But she remained silent, gazing mesmerized into the unknown man's eyes.


Again he went up to her. A breeze made his cloak rustle, but she didn't notice. She looked into his eyes again and was caught in their deep blackness. She also didn't notice how her chain suddenly got hot and began to glow again, but this time not red, like last time, but white. The glowing light came mainly from the stone. This had now turned blue and gave off the bright light in pulses. It was so bright it lit the entire clearing, but Diana couldn't see it. She was drowning in the eyes of the tall man, who was still staring at her. It seemed to her that she could see his whole life in it.


Piccolo noticed, however. 'What is she doing to me? Why can it go so deep? `, he forced himself to go back to his plan.Now, so close to the finish line, he suddenly had scruples. 'What if I am not? `, he thought, the words of the young god crossed his mind and he fought against the impulse to take his hand away again, but he still lifted it to her neck and touched the glowing silver.


A jolt suddenly went through Diana and the last thing she saw was the horrified face of her counterpart.


-------------------------------------------------- -


"What is it? Did you find it somewhere?" Videl was now very worried. It had been an hour since she asked Gohan to look for Diana. They had flown over the city together, but he hadn't been able to feel their aura.


"Yes, over there in the forest I can feel something, but the aura has recently died. But maybe she's just passed out ..." he said slowly, as they approached where he suspected it was. What actually surprised him even more was the second aura, which he knew only too well.'Did he do anything to her? Maybe he trained and just overlooked her ... but he never trained in the woods. So what's going on here ??? `


At last they had reached the clearing and landed in the middle, right next to the boulder.


Piccolo obviously hadn't noticed her at all. He stared spellbound at something in the grass. Then he took a step forward and picked up first the object and then the unconscious girl. When he finished, Gohan thought he saw a smug smile on his face. Finally he looked in the direction of the two newcomers.


"What are you doing here?" He growled. "She's a friend and we had a date." answered Gohan after a short pause in which he collected himself. "The question is more, what do you want here?" - "That's none of your business!" With that he turned around and flew quickly towards God's palace. Gohan was still very surprised at his friend's behavior.He picked up Videl and flew after the Namek as fast as he could. Had they flown separately, they would have been too slow. Videl meanwhile screwed up his eyes and clutched at him. The wind just didn't allow her to keep her eyes open.


Finally they were there and only saw Piccolo disappear into the palace. Before that he called out to them that he would explain everything later. "You disturb now!" Was the very last thing he said.


"That was clear! Come on, let's fly home. He sure knows what he's doing." Videl just nodded silently and in the next moment they, or much more Gohan with Videl in their arms, were on the way down.
