One Fateful Year

Ages, now don't forget this is my story and I will have it the way that I would like:

Goten: 2

Gohan: 13

~*~

Ok this takes place almost one year after the Cell Games. Gohan is still grieving over the death of his father. It is two days before the anniversary and that is there the story picks up.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Dad I am so sorry, please come back, please," Gohan mumbled in his dreams. Two days until the anniversary of his father's death. Chi-Chi watched her son sleep on the couch; she had not had the heart to wake him up because he was so tired.

Just then the dream turned violent. "Cell, No, get the hell away from me you bastered. I will kill you again if I have to, No leave my dad alone!" He yelled in his sleep, he was now screaming.

Gohan's body started to shake violently, Chi-Chi rushed to her son's side. "Gohan honey you have to wake up please," she pleaded but there was no use to it, he would have to ride the nightmare out.

Gohan's dream was getting worse; he had turned super in his sleep and was not crying as well. All of a sudden he shot up screaming, "DAD."

Goten came into the room, "Mommy is something wrong with big brother?" he asked.

"No sweetie big brother is just fine," she said tear visible in her eyes; she also missed Goku very much.

Gohan was still shaking from his dream; it was hard to tell that he had woken up from it. He did not even noticed when Goten came over and sat on his lap and hugged him.

"Big Brother is you ok?' he asked in a very innocent voice.

Gohan snapped out of his trance, "Ye kiddo, why don't I put you back to bed now," he said and picked up the miniature Goku and walked to there shared room. He put Goten into his bed and sat down next to him.

"Big brother, why you screaming?" Goten asked.

"I had a bad dream, I am fine don't worry," Gohan said to reassure his brother.

"Ok Gohan I go to bed now I am kind of tired," he said as he drifted off to sleep.

"Ok and I am sorry," Gohan whispered. 'Poor Gohan he had to grow up with out a dad this is my entire fault, why, why didn't I kill Cell when I had a chance?' he asked himself.

He found no answer so he lay down on his bed and went to sleep. One more night down until the fateful day that his father died.

Chi-Chi stood at the door, he still blamed himself for his father's death. Nothing she had done convinced him that it wasn't his fault. "Goku where ever you are, are you sure that this is the right choice?" she whispered. She was tired so she went to her room and went to sleep.

The next morning when Chi-Chi woke up Gohan had already left to train. He left a note and it said:

Mom,

I couldn't save dad but I will train so I will not have to lose anyone that I care about again.

Gohan

P.S. I will be back for lunch and I will catch my own breakfast.

Chi-Chi wiped a tear from her eye. "Gohan what will it take for you to realize that this is not your fault?" Chi-chi said.

"What is not big brothers fault?" Goten asked from the doorway.

"Nothing darling nothing," she said picking up her carbon-copy of her husband and making breakfast for him.

As promised Gohan was home for Lunch, then he was out for more training and back for dinner.

"Gohan dear when are you going to make time for your studies?" Chi-Chi asked as they were watching TV.

"Mom I have deiced not to continue with my studies, I don't want to. I am going to train and get stronger so I will not have to worry about a surprise attack on the earth, I am now the only person that can defend it," Gohan said and there was no hesitation in his voice.

Gohan got up and went to his room being careful not to wake his younger brother. He walked over to Goten bed and said, "Goten I am so sorry that you do not have a daddy, I am sorry that you only have me to look up to when I am only a failure." Goten however was already asleep and did not hear him.

Gohan went to his bed and climbed in. he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Little did he know tonight's dream would be a nerve racking one.

DREAM

"Goten? Where are you brother?" Gohan yelled.

"Right here brother," little Goten called.

Just as Gohan was going to reach his brother Cell showed up and killed him. "NOOOOOOOOOOO GOTEN!" he yelled.

Just then as he was about to go crazy someone appeared. It was Goku.

"Son you have dishonored me, you could not even protect you younger brother, and he had so much to live for!" Goku yelled at Gohan.

"But dad I tried," Gohan managed out before Goku continued.

"No you did not you were fooling around, that is why I am dead, and now you are also responsible for the death of your younger brother. Look at you; you are a disgrace to your race. I respect Vegeta over you," Goku yelled.

OUT OF THE DREAM, REALITY

"No, Stop please!" Gohan yelled jerking all around his sheets.

Chi-Chi came running in to the room. "Gohan," she sighed, how was she going to wake him.

Gohan was gasping for breath and he was sweating. He also had a tight grip on his bed sheets. Just the Goten woke up.

"Mommy?" he called out.

"Right here honey," Chi-Chi said.

"What is wrong with big brother?" he asked.

"Gohan is having another bad dream," she said and the moment that she finished her sentence Gohan's ki flared sending them both back into the wall.

"Mommy is you ok?" Goten asked. He was unfazed he was after all half Saiyin.

"Yes, let's keep our distance from Gohan, he could be dangerous," Chi-Chi said. It hurt her to say that HER son might be dangerous, it really did.

"Is he danger to himself?" Goten asked.

"Maybe but we will have to wait and see how he reacts to the dream sweetie," Chi-Chi said.

"Ok mommy, do you think it would be ok if I tried to talk to him?" Goten asked.

"You could try," Chi-Chi said. "But keep your distance," she added.

"Ok mommy," he said.

"Gohan can you here me?" he asked.

All he got as a response was Gohan's ki flaring again and once again sending him back into the wall. Gohan was tossing and turning in his sheets, the dream was getting more intense.

GOHAN'S DREAM

"Son I would appreciate it is you did not use the last name Son. You are just a disgrace to it so please do me that one favor, I know that is about all that you can do," Goku was going on and on.

"Why dad; why are you being like this?" Gohan asked.

"Because you killed me and now your brother," Goku said.

"What are you talking about?" Gohan asked.

"Look at your brothers blood on your hands," Goku said.

Gohan looked down and there was in-fact a large amount of Goten blood on his hands. "What, how is this happening?" Gohan asked going to tears not only in his dreams but also in real life.

REAL LIFE

Gohan broke down in to a fit of sobs, also making his shake and twitch violently.

GOHAN'S DREAM

"Dad I thought that you loved me, why are you saying these things," Gohan asked.

"I loved you at a time son, you have just done too much fro me to forgive you. I am only saying these things because they are true," he said at last.

REAL LIFE

Gohan's body started to rise in the air still shaking. "AAAHHHH," he screamed turning Super-Saiyin two and his power level rising.

As fast as it rose it also dropped. Gohan's limp body fell to the ground and landed with a thump.

"Gohan!" Chi-Chi screamed and ran to her son's side. She checked for a pulse, there was a very faint one. "What is wrong with my son?" she asked to no one in particular.

Just then the door broke down and on the other side was Vegeta, Bulma and Trunks in arms.

"What the hell is going on over here?" he asked or more or less screamed.

"Bulma there is something wrong with Gohan," Chi-Chi cried out.

Bulma jumped from Vegeta's grasp and threw Trunks at him, who of course he caught. (not to try to be a bad mother she knew Vegeta would never let anything happed to Trunks and everyone knows it)

She ran over to Gohan who was not panting and still shaking. She also checked for a pulse, "Ok he is still alive," she said quietly.

Vegeta watched silently as Bulma shock him gently, he noticed that there was really something wrong with Gohan. 'Wonder what is wrong?' he thought.

Bulma carried Gohan over to the couch, she laid him down and check his forehead, "He has a slight fever," she announced.

"Vegeta Saiyins don't get sick do they," Bulma asked praying that he did not give the answer that he did.

"No of course not, there is something seriously wrong with the oldest brat of Kakorot," Vegeta informed Bulma.

"Shit that is what I thought," Bulma cursed.
