A/N: This is might be very sad. This is also a one-shot. If I get enough reviews I'll update it. It says romance but that will be later when I get enough reviews.

Chapter 1- "Scarred"

The ear shattering noise of the tires squealing could be heard in every direction. Yamcha's car had run off the freeway as it began rolling down the hills into the sandy bank that was close to the beach. The car was more than destroyed. It was so destroyed that the windows had all shattered and the car looked like it had a brutal fight with a trash compactor. Tien and Krillin were in the backseat still attached to their seatbelts with only minor injures here and there. Yamcha looked like he was hurt badly, at first Tien thought he was dead.

Krillin shook in his seat as he looked at Tien. "Y-You don't think he's..."

Tien hit the seat in rage. "So many of these drunk drivers these days get off and look what happens...This!"

Krillin heart was rapid and he had never been in this situation before. "...I hope Goku senses that Yamcha's not good because there's no way our cell phones survived this..."

"We can't wait for him! Yamcha's life is on the line every second of the minute that goes by!

"This is awful...Now we're really stuck, all we can do is wait for help..."

Yamcha's head was pressed against the steering wheel as blood dripped down the floor. From Tien's point of view, Yamcha looked like he was going to die. They were just coming back from a party at Goku's house and were going out to the club to party for a little bit when the accident happened, the driver was drunk and hit them head on causing the car to spin out of control down the hills into the sandbank. Yamcha would be so mad that his car was wrecked and he really didn't have car insurance that was if he ever woke up.

'Where is everybody?!?! Any longer and he's not going to make it!' Tien began to panic.

Flashing lights began to appear as the police and ambulance came, they were still up on the hill as they reached further down to the accident scene. Tien broke loose of his seatbelt as he struggled with pain to reach Yamcha, he felt for a pulse. He barely could get one but there was a pulse.

Krillin looked at the damage and realized that he could have died tonight along with everyone else. There was always that fear in a car accident that you were going to die or get hurt so bad that you could be paralyzed in some way and never regain use of something. In Yamcha's case, no one knew what to expect or if he would live.

Tears almost formed in Tien's eyes as he spoke, "…..Krillin, what if…..Yamcha….?"

Krillin closed his eyes and sighed, "I-I don't know……..Tien, I just…..don't know.."

Yamcha still had a pulse but was unconscious, Tien and Krillin jumped at the sound of the cutters as they saw the firemen and the ambulance crew rush to the scene and remove Yamcha onto the stretcher. Two more ambulances came as they stopped and took Tien and Krillin to get treated for their small wounds, they overhead one of the policemen examining Yamcha as the ambulance rushed and took him away to the hospital.

"My god, this is probably one of the worse cases…" the police officer looked at the other two, "They get worse and worse every year."

Tien and Krillin looked at each other then Krillin went into shock due to the trauma of the accident. The ambulance took him the hospital as Tien rode with him, even though Krillin was in shock he knew his mind was racing and Tien's was also racing as the ambulance in front of them was rushing Yamcha to hospital. The prognosis was awful and no one knew if he would make it through one day or even a week with his complicated condition.

Tien looked at the paramedic, "…..Do you know if……Yamcha will make it? He's important to our team…."

"…..They have to rush him to ICU immediately; he was having major blood loss and we fear he's broken more than a few bones."

The ambulance went silent as Tien put his hand over his eyes and sighed heavily. It was bad. Yamcha was lucky to be alive, if he made it through the next day without problems. Krillin was still in shock as the hospital came nearer and they carried him in as they rushed Yamcha to ICU, the double doors slammed. Tien sat down and waited and waited, he looked at others who had just heard news that their child had died. Tien didn't want them to tell him the same thing with Yamcha.

He walked in where Krillin was sleeping and he suddenly woke up and began yelling like they were still in the accident. Tien quieted him as he looked around and became confused.

"What happened?!?! Where are we?!?!" Krillin caught his breath, "I'm in the hospital…….How?"

"You went into shock; I guess the trauma got to you….It's always scary with near-death experiences."

Krillin let out a slow sigh, "Tien….We could've really died today, accidents like those can kill all the passengers….Where's Yamcha?"

"ICU, they had to basically rush him there. Look at all the blood…"

A large trail of blood was left behind near the door, Yamcha would need a blood transfusion if he kept losing so much blood at a time. All the two fighters could do was…wait. The four letter word could be haunting, Yamcha was battling life and death as three doctors tried to start his heart and save him.

He began to flat line as the doctors struggled to save him, they finally got it after four tries. His bleeding stopped but he barely had enough to stay alive, he also wasn't conscious to signs or touch. One doctor was ready to say he was in a coma but the others argued to wait the next few days to see what would happen and they left the room.

X X X

Two hours had gone by as Krillin shook Tien. He looked up to see two doctors looking at the both of them, The doctors slowly explained what had happened and Tien fell out of the chair as tears hit the floor and he began to cry. He wanted it to be a lie, a mistake but it wasn't. Krillin went speechless as he looked down and stammered, they couldn't be saying this. Krillin stammered further and kept repeating himself.

He was the first to go into denial about the whole thing.

"He-He can't….." his voice broke, "Oh my god………No….NO! You have to be joking!"

Tien stood up as he fell into the chair, "Krillin! Stop! Saying that this didn't happen is a lie! It really happened!

"Tien! Yamcha could be in a coma, he may never wake up!"

A long pause came back in as the two shakened fighters tried to pull themselves together and go back to normal. No one was braced for this. What if Yamcha...was living his last days? Tien begged the doctors to see Yamcha as the doctors shook their heads.

"We're...not supposed to let you guys in right now." The doctor replied, "...We'll give you fifteen minutes and that's it..."

Tien and Krillin rushed into the ICU as the nurse directed them to Yamcha's room. The room was half lit as Tien went to Yamcha's bed side and held his hand, he looked terrible. He had cuts on most of his arms and legs, he had a second degree burn on both his legs, he broke three ribs, he broke his right leg, and he broke his left arm. No one could imagine the pain he was in.

The sight would bring anyone to tears. Krillin waited by the door and looked at the doctor, he wondered how they could deal with so much drama and trama when it came to serious car accidents like this. It was hard to be in a doctor's position when you had to give bad news or lose someone that you're trying to save, it could get emotional.

At that moment Yamcha began to flatline again. The doctors rushed in as they started his heart again, things seemed to be worse than before and the doctors had to make sure that every few hours that Yamcha was checked on. Tien fell to the floor and sobbed, he was so tramatized that he decided that he wasn't going to fight for a few weeks.

"Is...Yamcha...dying?" Krillin looked back at the doctor, "T-t-this can't be happening to him..."

"We're not even sure...like we said, we have to observe him for a few days..."

Tien hit the ground, "I'll sue the bastard!!! Yamcha doesn't deserve to suffer like this!"

He walked over to Yamcha and stared at him. It was a hard stare until Tien blinked back tears and looked away, he just couldn't face it. Yamcha's long unkempt hair rested peacefully as the rest of him battled a fierce war of life and death, he was battling a 50/50 chance of survival.

The fifteen minutes ended as Tien and Krillin decided to visit Yamcha tommorow, at that very moment Goku walked in with Pu'ar as she jumped out of his arms and ran to the side of her owner. She held Yamcha's hand and backed away and began to cry. She had been through everything with him, she didn't know if she was ready to face a loss.

Everyone could still hear Pu'ar's mournful cries as if she was already at the funeral. She signed the life support papers as her tears increased with every word, the only thing keeping Yamcha alive were the machines. She just couldn't be in the room and ran out sobbing and yelling that it was a mistake and that he would wake up tommorow.

Goku shook his head, "...He has to fight for his life now, if Pu'ar can even take it, I don't know how we'll all take it..."

Tien looked at him, tears were still in his eyes, "We have to sue!!! Yamcha's about neck and neck with his life, he's too young to die!"

No one was prepared for this accident but Yamcha would have to fight this battle on his own, it was hard to fight a battle when you didn't know what was happening to you. His recovery would be long and hard if he ever woke up.

That's Chapter 1, Please R&R.
