A/N: This chapter is King Kai's POV.
It's been seven long years now. So much has occurred through this period of time. The change undergone, the growth of others and there is me…dead. Yet he will not feel the faintest bit of regret because he saved his planet from destruction and was the reason for mine and my own planets demise.
He would know what is going on in the outside world; right underneath his nose, if he had even bothered to try to ask. He's oblivious to it all and unfortunately resulting in this outcome…
Without my permission he should have tried to contact is son or sons (now). Of course he has no idea of his youngest son's existence. He hasn't been in contact with anyone on Earth for years now.
My fear and annoyance is growing thinner by the day. Goku got me killed and blew up my home. To make matters worse, he doesn't realise the implications of leaving his oldest son alone.
I will not even begin to fathom how anyone can be this naïve and dense. His lack of responsibility was always worrying and now it clearly shows. He hasn't even checked up on Gohan since Bojack!
Goku if he realised, would take back his actions if he knew what has become of his son over the years. It is however not my place to tell him. I might have to go against the rules however… I thought he would at least once try and check on his family. He has really been trying to stick by the rules of the dead.
I've known the truth for years now and the amount of times I've hinted or suggested in some sort of way to talk to his loved ones, Goku just blew me off. He immediately changed the subject. Maybe he couldn't stand leaving them?
Remembering when Goku died the first time, he was distraught as he would miss apart of his son's life. And watching over him while he had his reunion, he was shocked to see his son become such a different person.
I also remember those many years ago breaking the news to him, his son was training with Piccolo. I had never seen Goku so angry and sad...
"You said Piccolo killed you, right?" I ask in reassurance. If what I am sensing and what Goku said…this can't be right, right? "Yeah, we've been rivals for years. He's killed and tried to hurt my friends." Goku explains, "Why? What is it?" Oh dear… "If what you're saying is true, then it doesn't add up." I comment. I am going to let a big cat out of the bag? A cat out of a bag – good one! I'm so funny! "What doesn't add up King Kai?" Goku questions innocently. I guess it is time to be serious. I take a deep breath, "Piccolo has been training your son." "WHAT!" Goku yells, "why didn't you tell me? Why is he with him?" He eyes open in shock and his face become distraught. "Piccolo kidnapped him." I mutter hoping Goku won't lose it. "You're joking? Do you know how worried Chi-Chi would be? And how traumatised Gohan would be after everything with Raditz?" Goku argues. He holds his fits in anger and fear. "Gohan's fine." I announce, "He's off with Piccolo now." "What do you mean "He was to survive six months in the wilderness." I shouldn't have said that…never make a parent worried. It's twice as bad when it is someone as powerful as he is. "You're kidding!" Goku drops to the ground in defeat, "is he okay?" "He's fine; Piccolo I believe has a soft spot for the boy." I admit, "I've been keeping a close eye on them." "So he's okay?" Goku asks needing reassurance. "He is fine Goku." "Is he happy, Gohan I mean?" Goku looks in guilt, "I don't want him sad." "I've seen him plenty happy; it was hard for him at first. After awhile he had adjusted." "Thank goodness." Goku sighed in relief. "How about I leave you alone for the rest of the day?" "Yeah, thanks." I left Goku to his own thoughts.
From what I remember, Goku is sorry for leaving his family. He is probably devastated and is in complete denial right now, thus why he tries to change the subject. As a Kai I'm supposed to not bring up anything that might break the rules and telling Goku directly about what is going on with Gohan will break the rules.
Without Goku in Gohan's life, Gohan has become more lost within his own mind. The poor soul is lost. I've been trying for years to tell Goku and break the damn rules in attempt to save Gohan.
I am King Kai, one who sees and looks after the Northern part of the universe, it has seems to have failed however.
It's getting too close and time is running thing. I'm going to have the bend the rules properly to stop the inevitable. Goku will be full of shock to see what has become of his broken son.
