Sakura looked around, her mouth open in shock.  She was on an extremely long and twisting path that carried on as far as the eye could see.  Where am I?  She asked herself.  Last thing I remember I was dying.  What am I doing here?  The presence of a power level interrupted her thoughts.  She looked up to see  a tall man walking towards her.  The man had black hair which stuck out in all directions, dark eyes, a boyish face, and huge muscles.

"Hi."  He said to her as he came to a stand still.  "Rumour has it that your name is Sakura.  Am I right?"

"Er, yeah."  Sakura replied, getting more confused by the second.  How did a complete stranger know her name?  "Who are you?"

"Oh!", he exclaimed, slapping a hand to his forehead with enough force to put a hole through the wall of Gohan's house.  "My name is Goku."  Sakura gasped.

"Goku?"  she said, staring at him and suddenly knowing why he looked so familiar.  "As in Kakarot Goku?"  Goku nodded.  "Wow!"  Sakura said, still shocked.  "Well, did you know Kanata.  He was my father, and your brother."

"No."  Goku replied, looking shocked himself.  "I don't know any of my Saiya-jin family apart from Raditz, and I'd rather not discuss that.  I didn't even know I had another brother, let alone a niece.  Weird!"

"Erm, where am I, and what am I doing here?"  Sakura asked, suddenly thinking of the question.

"You're on Snake Way."  Goku told her.  "And you're dead."

"I knew that I was dead - or meant to be.  Just not where I am."  Sakura told him.  "How do I get off here?"

"Easy!"  Goku said, putting two fingers to his forehead, and one hand on her shoulder.  "You come with me."  Next thing Sakura knew, her feet had been pulled from the ground, and Goku's hand was stuck to her shoulder.  It felt as though she was being pulled through space faster than the speed of light in a journey only to last a second.  Completely out of the blue, her feet found solid ground again, and Sakura looked around her to see that she was standing in front of a huge mansion.  "Grand Kai's Palace."  Goku told her, pointing to the mansion.  "Come on in."  They walked into Grand Kai's Palace together, Goku's hand still on Sakura's shoulder as he lead her into a room on the right next to the front door.

Sakura stared open-mouthed at what was in front of her.  There was a huge banquet set out, and sitting around the table was her family.  They stood up, and Sakura ran up to them, throwing her arms around them all.  Sakura suddenly straightened up, and turned to Goku.  "Goku," she said, her voice hopeful.  "Is there any way I can speak to my friends who are still alive.  Goku nodded, and without saying a word, he teleported.  Sakura turned around to her family, but, before she said a word, there was a tap on her shoulder.  She turned around and saw Goku.

"This is King Kai.  He told her, pointing to somebody he had with him.  King Kai was a short, plump little man.  He had blue skin, and two long antenna on his head.  He was wearing long 'robes' and sunglasses.  "Ok then.  Goku said, leading Sakura up to King Kai.  "Just put your hand on his shoulder and he'll connect you to your friends.  I sound like a telephone operator!  Now, who do you want to speak to?"

"Gohan."  Sakura said without hesitation.  Goku looked slightly taken aback, but he nodded.  Both Goku and Sakura put a hand on King Kai's shoulder.

Gohan sat on his doorstep, unable to think of anything but what he had done to Sakura.  All of the Z Warriors, ChiChi, Goten, Bulma and Trunks stood around him.  A voice suddenly echoed around them.

"Gohan?"  Everybody looked up to the sky, bewildered looks on their faces.  Gohan stood up

"Sa-Sakura?  Gohan stammered, looking around him.  "I am so sorry about"

"Gohan, stop it!", Sakura sounded almost exasperated as she said this, but her expression lightened immediately.  "I just want to say thank you.  Yeah, ok, it hurt, but because you did that, you're the best cousin I could ask for."  Another voice suddenly sounded around them.

"Hey guys!", Goku said, wishing he could wink at them all down there.

"Goku?  ChiChi cried, her eyes shining.  "Is it really you?"

"Yup!", Goku replied.  "I bumped into Sakura's family.  They somehow failed to mention their names, or that they were related to me.  They sensed Sakura's presence, so I went to meet her.  Oh and Gohan I just want to tell you that I miss you loads.  Gotta go!"  Sakura and Goku's voices vanished, and never returned.

Goku spun around to see the Grand Kai standing behind him.  "What?" he asked angrily, annoyed at having been torn from a conversation with his son.

"The HFIL!", the Grand Kai gasped.  "Cell - Furiza!  They escaped from their cages!  They are causing big trouble down in the HFIL!"  Goku and Sakura looked at each other and nodded.  Without a single word, Goku teleported them both to the HFIL.
