You Are My Life~

It has been 5 months since Kid Buu has been defeated from that spirit bomb Goku created. As though everything is supposed to be peaceful for everyone, except for Goten. Even though he was 7, and has a good childhood, and now that Goku is back with his family, he doesn't feel comfortable around his father. He felt that his father never wanted him, and he wanted Gohan more then his youngest. But the child was wrong, and he never knew that. Goten has been very jealous of Gohan lately because Goku has been spending more time with him, than Goten.

Goten was sitting down on the living room floor, playing with his toys. Trunks couldn't come over because he was grounded for the week. So he had nothing better to do.

Gohan and Goku had gone out together to train and left Goten behind. Chichi was in the kitchen, making dinner for the boys. It is about 6 pm now.

Then Goten sensed his brother and father come in. 'Wow.' He said to himself. 'They're early.'

"Oh my goodness! Goku! Gohan! YOU'RE A MESS!" Chichi shouted. Goten ran in the kitchen and saw the both men covered up with dust/dirt.

Goku scratched the back of his head and giggled. "Whoops! Sorry hun."

Gohan was hiding behind his dad, scared of his mommy (lul).

Goten ran up to his father. "Daddy! Can we play!" The child said, tugging his father's pants.

Goku looked down and grabbed Goten's belt and put him on the chair.

"Not now son, me and your brother have to go wash up." Goku said, hugging his eldest. Gohan nodded.

The child rolled his eyes and sighed out. "Don't give us that look." Gohan said.

"Don't tell me what to do!" Shouted Goten.

"THAT'S ENOUGH YOU TWO!" Chichi's voice of doom shouted. "Gohan! Goku! Go wash up, I'll have to talk to Goten now."

Once the two older sons left, Goten settled and covered his eyes with one arm.

Chichi pulled out a chair in front of her son.

"Sweetie, what was that about?" Asked Chichi.

"Mommy, why doesn't daddy love me?" Goten finally asked since he never spoken in about 2 minutes.

Chichi looked suprised for a moment. "Now Goten why would you think your father doesn't like you?"

"...Well he hangs out with Gohan alot more than me! The only time we ever get to hang out or see eachother is when there is lunch, dinner or a holidy!" Goten stated, still covering his eyes.

Then he moved his arm and looked directly into his mother's eyes, "He hates me because I was never strong enough to defeat Buu, wasn't it?.." His throat began to hurt.

Chichi's blue eyes widen a little. She coughed and spoke firmly,

"Now, Son Goten, let me start off, Goku loves you very much. He loves you and Gohan equally. He doesn't love Gohan more than you. And second of all, you not defeating Buu didn't make a change at all! Oh you know your father, he always thinks of training first than his family. And he chooses to train with either Vegeta or Gohan or Piccolo because they are more experienced fighters honey."

"...And I'm not? I'm not an experienced fighter mom? I've fought Majin Buu a few months ago! And dad let him kill me, you, Trunks and the others!" The boys anger was rising.

"How am I supposed to know him? He doesn't even know me! He thinks of me as a stranger!" Tears began forming in the 7 year olds eyes.

Chichi was about to say something, but Goten put out a hand in front of her,

"Forget it! If he can't love me as a son, then I won't love him as a father!" Shouted the boy, turning Super Saiyan, and dashing out the kitchen window, flying out in the distance.

Goku and Gohan sensed the stronger power level leaving. They both ran in the kitchen, wearing a towel.

Goku found Chichi on the floor, rubbing the side of her head.

"Mother!" Gohan shouted.

Goku ran to his wife and picked her up. "Chichi what happened?! Where's Goten?"

She groaned her response, then got to her feet. "Oh, he just got mad at something and he needs his space."

"But he hurt you!" Gohan said, worryingly.

"No he didn't, I just fell off the chair because I was taken by suprise he left like that. Don't worry, he'll be back."

Both sons nodded, then went to their rooms to get dressed, then eat lunch.

Goten didn't know where he was flying off too, but he didn't care. Anywhere far from Goku and his brother is good enough.

Him being in Super Saiyan and flying for 30 minutes straight now made him tired.

He suddenly collapsed from the sky and fell on the soft, warm green-yellowish grass. Near a huge mountain.

The boy layed on his back, spreaded his arms and legs out, breathing in and out softly.

"I hate living near Goku and Gohan." Goten whispered to himself. "I wish...I wish I can show both of them I can be strong."

Suddenly, the boy felt a presence nearby. He sat up, and looked around.

"...H-Hey...who's there?" He said out loud. No response.

He got up, making sure he doesn't get attack by sitting.

From the forest, a orange little monkey stepped out from the shadows, along with a very tall man, wearing a cape, covering his face.

Goten sensed both of them, and turned around and flew 3 feet back.

"..Hey! Who are you? Why is there a monkey next to you?"

The monkey snarled. "Ha, the boy is curious I can tell, but he's the one master!" The monkey's red eyes shined.

The tall man chuckled softly. "Greetings young boy"

"Show yourself!" The boy shouted, getting into a fighting stance.

The man lowered his hoodie. All it was a skeleton with blood red eyes.

Goten couldn't be anymore terrified of that look.

Then the boy looked down at the monkey. He hadn't realized the half white mask on his face, and a zebra colored armor on his small body.

"I was once recalled as the Alchemist, but now boy, call me the Skeleton King." The tall one said, holding a long metal stick.

Goten glared up at him, then looked down on the monkey. "And who are you?,monkey looking freak."

"I'm Mandarin, once the leader of the Hyper Force." He said snarling again.

"Hyper Force? What's a Hyper Force?"

Mandarin chuckled. "Foolish boy, the Hyper Force are the 5 cybernetic robot monkeys who were created to protect the universe from us!"

Goten looked confused. "So, Mandarin, you were once one of them? You don't look like a robot."

"That's because my teammates betrayed me. They couldn't trust me to be their leader. I was beaten down, and all of my robotic parts were torn out by them! But I am reborn, and all I have left as my weapons is my shield and my sword." Mandarin transformed his dark orange glove into a shield and his other into a blue electric sword.

"Whoa..." Goten could only say. "..But..you turn evil just because of that? Isn't there a reason other than that they did this to you?"

"No boy! They never ever liked me as their leader, even though I was the one who trained them to be strong. But in the end, they never loved me, they never thought of me strong."

Goten looked down. "Same for me. My father doesn't like me because I was never strong enough to beat someone a few months ago. He loves my older brother more than me because he is stronger.

"Ahh really?" Mandarin said, raising an eye brow. "You're father goes out for the people who are stronger and not for the weak. But I understand, you're just a child."

"I'm more than just a child Mandarin! I'm a half-blood saiyan and I'm capable of doing this!" He said turning Super Saiyan.

Mandarin gasped, covering one of his eyes from the dust around Goten.

Skeleton King grinned. "That's what I expect from you, young Goten."

"Huh?"

"You come from a blood of a monkey don't you? You are like a half monkey and human." Mandarin smiled.

"Meaning?" Said the child.

"Meaning that you have the power of having the power primate! It's the most powerful energy you have inside yourself. But only I and one of my brothers who is in the Hyper Force have the power primate. And it's my time to give this to you." Mandarin began, criss-crossing his legs, clapping his monkey hands together, creating a small green energy ball, held his right arm in the air, and floated near Goten, who was frozen in his footstep. Mandarin released the ball, and it flew into the boys stomach.

Goten let out a gut-wrenching scream, as the energy ball took over his body. There was green lightning around his body.

"It is our time to go Mandarin." Skeleton King said, Mandarin nodding.

"Until we meet again, Goten." Mandarin grinned.

With that, the Skeleton King covered himself and Mandrin with his cape and they disappeared.

Goten was still screaming. It stung him too much, but it was giving him power. The child fell to his knees, then his stomach. He was groaning in pain, when all of a sudden, his tail came back!

Back at the Son's House~

It's about 8pm, and the Sons are finishing dinner.

"Mom? Are you sure Goten will be back soon, I mean I didn't sense him near Trumks's house or Kami's house. I'm starting to get worried." Gohan said, playing with his food.

"I'm sure he'll be fine Gohan, but I wish he'd come home soon." Said Chichi, picking up her plate and going to the sink.

Goku was sitting near the window, eating and looking out, waiting for Goten

He hadn't been this nervous or worried for either Gohan or Goten before. Gohan got up and walked to his father and put a hand on his shoulder.

"I wished he'd come home now..." Goku said, closing his eyes...

Goten was still groaning in pain, his arms near his lower stomach, and was curled up. He suddenly had the power to flip over on his back and layed his arms out. He was breathing very slowly. "That power primate...I guess...I guess that takes alot of power out of you to make you stronger." He chuckled. 'This is the only time I need...I need daddy..' He said to himself. He was beginning to feel very dizzy. Before he was knocked, he said out loud and to his mind weakly, 'Daddy!'.

Goku's eyes widen with suprise and fear, stood up, making Gohan fall back and making his chair fall to the ground.

"Goku?! What's wrong?!" Chichi screamed, running up to her husband, hugging his arm.

"It...It's Goten!" He shouted.

"What about him?!" Gohan said, shaking and getting up at the same time.

"He's in trouble! I need to go get him, Chichi, Gohan you stay here until I come back, hear me?" Without Chichi or Gohan saying anything, he took off in the air to find his youngest.

Goku kept flying faster and faster, sensing Goten's low power. Never in his life has he been this worried for his children. 'Ugh, Goten, you better be ok!' He thought, then flew faster and faster every second.

8 minutes have past and looked below and saw a small body lying on the grass.

"Goten!" He shouted, and flew down and scooped his son in his arms.

"Goten? Goten Goten?" Goku said softly, shaking his son, totally ignoring he has a tail. Goten not responding alarmed Goku. He leaned and kissed his son's forehead. "I'm sorry, son." He hugged his son tightly before using instant transmission to go back home.

Once Goku appeared in front of the dome shaped house, Chichi and Gohan ran out and hugged Goku.

"Oh my baby! What happened?!" Chichi cried.

"I don't know, I found him lying on the grass, and look! His tail has grown."

Gohan gritted his teeth. "I bet someone knocked him out! Look at his cheek! It's bruised."

"No I don't think so Gohan." Chichi said. "Anyways, let's bring him inside so he can rest."

It's about 9:30pm now and Chichi,and Gohan were downstairs watching tv, trying to relax. While Goku was upstairs, watching Goten sleep.

The boy rested on the pillow, covered up with 2 blankets and an ice pack over his forehead to keep him cool.

Goten's eyes twitched a little then rested.

Goku sat beside him, trying to think what happened. He felt energy growing in Goten.

Gohan appeared in the door way, his arms folded to his chest and he had a half smile.

"How's he doin dad?" He walked.

"He's doing okay." Said the warrior, tucking in the blanket.

"Do you know who did this?"

"Like I said before, I don't know."

"Well whoever did this to my little bro, he's gonna pay for it!"

Goku smiled, "Oh he will."

Chichi suddenly walked in. "It's bedtime boys. Gohan go to your room." Gohan obeyed and walked out, as Chichi was. She turned around to see Goku still focusing on his son.

"Honey? Are you coming?"

"...Oh, um is it okay if I stay here with Goten for the night?"

Chichi smiled and laughed. "Sure hun." She winked as she closed the light and shut the door.

Goku jumped over to the side of the bed Goten was laying on.

"Good night son." He said, putting one arm over the little one.
