Gohan's POV
He felt the pain like a thunderbolt striking his arm. When he opened his eyes he was laying in his room, his left arm in a sling from where he injured it fighting cell. It has been three weeks since the battle and yet…he felt like he lost. His father was dead….his mother had been crying constantly for the past three weeks as well, though she put up a strong face for him. He tried to sit up but the medicine pain medicine Chi-Chi gave him made him incredibly sluggish and hard to do normal things. It didn't help him much with the pain anyways, yet he didn't want to tell her that. He refused to take a senzu bean or even use one of Bulma's healing pods, only wanting to go home. When he got there and told his mother the news, she burst into tears. He knew that she also thought that if he had just ended it like Goku had told him….he shook his head, trying to fight back the tears. In the other room he could hear his mother crying like every night these days…. "I…I'm so sorry mom…" he said to himself. He opened the window and slowly flew out it, a note left on his bed.
Chi-Chi's POV
She sighed and looked at the clock, noticing it was time to give Gohan…her son…the only thing left in the world keeping her sane…his pain medicine. These past three weeks have been nothing but stress and sadness for her and Gohan. She knew that he was dealing with so much more…he still thought that it was his fault Goku had died. She grabbed the pain medicine and headed to Gohan's room. When she opened the door her eyes widened as she dropped the medicine to the ground, the glass container shattering as she saw he was gone. She ran to the note and grabbed it, reading it out loud. "I'm sorry mom…I've caused everyone pain in my life….you, dad, krillen, Bulma, Yamchu, and even Piccolo…tell them I'm sorry and that they won't have to deal with me anymore….goodbye mom…I'm sorry…" She dropped to the ground crying. After what seemed like hours she stood up and got the phone, she soon called all the Z Warriors explaining what happened, each time crying more and more until she simply couldn't take it anymore. She called Bulma and begged her to take her with her to find Gohan.
Gohan's POV
He had been flying for hours and was slowly getting tired, he landed in a small field filled with sheep. He sighed and laid down amongst the grass and sighed. He looked into the starry sky and tears slowly crept to his eyes. "Why…..why dad….why didn't you come back? Why did you leave me and mom….." he said to the sky. "If only….if only I wasn't so arrogant…..i would have saved you…." He slowly sat up and looked around, the memory of him fighting cell coming back to him, making his arm throb in a pain of fire….and a pain of loss. He heard the sound of someone creeping up behind him. He turned around to defend himself when he was meet with a 7 foot tall Green Alien. "Hey kid…..any reason why you're in a field with a flock of annoying animals?" Piccolo said to him, the sheep baaing as they grazed around them. "I…I'm just so sick of failing everyone…..you when the saiyains came….dad when freeza attacked on Namic and when Cell came….and now mom….for not saving dad….." he said sadly. Piccolo looked shocked at him. "Failing….you saved me twice. You revived me from when I died and then saved me again when Namic was being ripped apart. Your father made the Decision to stay in otherworld because he knew that he could trust you to protect the earth. And your mother….your all she has left Gohan. This mess is probably driving her insane but…." Piccolo threw off his weighted training gear. "If you're so sure that you failed everyone because you were not strong enough. Let's see how well you can fight then with that one arm."
He stared at Piccolo like he was crazy, until all of a sudden he was sending multiple punches and kicks at him. Yup….He is defiantly crazy. Before he could react he found himself fighting back, his saiyan blood and nature clouding his thoughts till his thoughts were dodge…kick…punch…dodge.
"Is that the best you got!" Piccolo yelled at him. He sent a ki blast at Gohan, expecting him to dodge so that he would counter it with a kick to the gut. He was shocked to see Gohan take the blast head on…litteraly. He sent more punches at Gohan trying to have him slip up so he could land a finishing blow.
The match…however…was interrupted when Piccolo took a blow to the head from a Unidentified Flying Frying Pan of Doom.
"Stop hurting my Baby!" Chi-Chi yelled at the top of her lungs. She jumped twenty feet from Bulma's Proto-type Jet-copter and landed next to Gohan and hugging him tight, acting as if the jump was nothing.
"M-mom?" He asked surprised. "W-why are you here? I thought…" he was about to say until Chi-Chi interrupted him.
"Don't you ever think that! You were never did anything but make me proud! Your father sacrificed himself to keep us alive Gohan…I…I can't lose you too…" she said as she started to break out into tears, the sadness and grief slowly flowing out before him.
"I….I'm sorry mom…I..I just felt like….like it was all my fault that.." he tried to say before his mother looked at him with tearful eyes.
"Don't finish that sentence….none of us see you that way…" she said as she slowly calmed down.
Piccolo slowly made his way towards the lookout, not wanting another hit from the frying pan but smiling as he saw Gohan start to come to terms with what he means to everyone around him. "Your father is proud of you kid….as am I.."
