Chapter 1-The Nightmare Begins
Chichi stood glaring daggers at her husband as he walked in the house and quietly closed the door. Goku gulped and looked meekly at his wife who stood tapping her foot and crossed her arms.
"Son Goku, where in kami's name have you been?" Chichi demanded.
Goku laughed nervously and placed a hand behind his head.
"I'm really sorry Chichi. I was sparring with Vegeta and we didn't notice the time fly past."
"Fly past? Goku, it's almost midnight! I've been worried sick!" Chichi yelled.
"Like I said, we didn't notice the time fly by." Goku replied. "I'm really sorry Chichi. It won't happen again, I promise!"
Chichi sighed and walked over to Goku, pulling the tall Saiyan into a hug. Goku looked a little surprised, but shook it away and held Chichi close against his chest, wrapping his muscular arms around her and purring softly into her hair.
"Oh Goku, what am I going to do with you?" Chichi whispered.
Goku grinned and kissed her passionately.
"Are Gohan and Goten asleep?" Goku asked.
Chichi nodded as she walked towards they're bedroom, Goku following.
"Goten was disappointed he didn't get to say goodnight to you." Chichi said.
Goku winced and sighed.
"I'll make it up to him tomorrow, Gohan too."
Chichi slowly opened the brother's bedroom door and peered inside. She instantly smiled and turned to Goku.
"Goku, come here." She whispered.
Goku raised a curious eyebrow and walked next to Chichi and looked in the room. A smile then ran out across his mouth.
The two demi-Saiyan brothers were cuddled up against each other in Gohan's bed. Gohan was laying on his side, one hand laying across his chest and the other around Goten who lay snuggled up against Gohan's chest, his head resting under Gohan's chin, the bed sheets covering half of the two brothers and the breeze from the window gently ruffling they're hair.
Chichi leaned against Goku, both smiling contentedly.
"Isn't that the sweetest thing you've ever seen?" Chichi whispered.
"Yeah…well one of the sweetest things I've ever seen." Goku whispered back.
"Oh, what's the other sweetest thing then?" Chichi asked.
Goku smiled and rubbed his nose against Chichi's.
"You."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Darkness
Rage
Absolute fury
Through the void of blackness, he walked silently on. Consumed by the lust of vengeance, he continued on his quest.
Closer…closer…closer with every earth-grinding step he took.
Smirking at the thought of what he was planning to do, he opened his mouth and the chilling words that flowed from his mouth echoed across the empty void of nothingness.
"Watch out Gohan…I am coming…coming for you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gohan tossed and turned in his bed, which was now empty since Goten had rolled off it and on to his bed. Sweat drenched his head and rolled down in beads on to his bed. Gohan's eyebrows furrowed unconsciously as the visions in his mind increased in intensity.
"Goten…"
He saw his younger brother sleeping peacefully in his bed near the window.
"Goten…"
From the depths of the dark night, a sinister hand reached in through the window, aiming for Goten.
"No! Goten…"
In a split second, Goten was gone from the room. The window flapped in the wind and an evil, some-what familiar laugh echoed through out the night.
"GOTEN!!!!!!!!"
Goten bolted upright in bed and looked at his older brother.
"Gohan?"
Gohan also sat upright, his eyes wide, his chest heaving in deep breaths, sweat poured down his flushed face and on to the floor. Goten looked confused and moved next to Gohan.
"Gohan? Are you okay Oniisan?"
Gohan's head spun around to look at Goten. He watched the younger boy's face show a mixture of confusion and concern. Gohan closed his eyes and shook his head a little.
"A dream…just a bad dream Goten."
Goten looked more concerned for his older brother and placed a hand on his arm.
"You had a nightmare…about me?"
Gohan looked at Goten with a look of surprise.
"I heard you yell my name." Goten replied. "You had a nightmare about me?"
"Hai…about someone taking you." Gohan replied, placing a shaky hand on his forehead.
"Taking me?" Goten asked. "Like kidnapping me?"
Gohan nodded and swallowed hard.
"Why would you have a nightmare about that?" Goten asked. "Where did it come from?"
Good question, where had that nightmare come from?
Gohan didn't know or understand and it frustrated him. It was only a nightmare but it had shaken him up so badly; it had seemed so real and that's why he had a cold chill right down to his bones.
He was also scared it might be a foreshadow of something to come.
Gohan was brought back to reality when Goten tugged on his nightshirt.
"Gohan, shall we go get some breakfast?"
Gohan smiled weakly and nodded.
"Hai, let's do that. I have to get ready for high school too."
Gohan stood up, bent down and scooped Goten into his arms and walked out into the kitchen. As he did so, Goten placed a hand on Gohan's forehead.
"Man Gohan, you're head is really hot." Goten said.
"Hmmm, what's that Goten?" Chichi asked from the kitchen.
"Hey Gohan, Goten!" Goku said cheerfully. "Come sit down and have some breakfast."
Gohan smiled and walked over with Goten and both sat down next to each other at the breakfast table. Chichi then walked over with breakfast and drinks. Goku and Goten instantly tucked in to their food while Chichi took her time and Gohan stared blankly. Sighing a little, Gohan reached for his drink. As he brought it close, he began to notice something swirling on the surface of the liquid. Gohan stared at it hard closely. Suddenly, the liquid formed a sinister hand that leapt up at him.
The next thing Gohan knew, he was on the floor having fallen over backwards. Goku, Goten and Chichi ran to his side.
"Gohan, are you alright?" Chichi asked, helping him to get back up.
"Ye-Yeah I'm fine." Gohan stuttered a reply.
"Gohan, are you sure you're okay?" Goku asked with a concerned eye.
Gohan didn't reply, instead he placed a hand on his head and rubbed his temple. Goku moved Gohan's hand away and place his own on his oldest son's forehead.
"You feel really hot Gohan." He said.
"That's what I said before." Goten said.
Chichi checked herself.
"You have a high temperature Gohan." She said. "I want you to go back to bed this instant."
Gohan opened his mouth to speak, but the look his mother gave him convinced him otherwise and he walked slowly back to his room. Chichi sighed.
"What has brought this all on? He was fine yesterday."
"I don't know Chichi." Goku replied, hugging his wife close. "But we'll find out."
"I…I don't if…if it's the reason why Oniichan's ill…but he said he had a nightmare." Goten said quietly.
Goku and Chichi looked at Goten, at each other and then back to Goten. Goku bent down and picked Goten up.
"Did he say what it was about?" Goku asked.
Goten looked down then back at his father.
"It was…about me…getting kidnapped." Goten replied.
Goku looked immediately concerned and looked over at Chichi while holding his youngest son.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Piccolo's eyes snapped open as he focused on Gohan's Ki. It was wavering and it bothered him, a lot.
The tall Namek stood up from his meditation spot high on Dende's Lookout and walked over to the edge and stared downwards, though focusing on something else. He growled in concern and a little in frustration.
"What's the matter Piccolo?" A voice asked.
Without turning around, Piccolo spoke.
"It's Gohan, I'm worried about him, Dende."
"His Ki feels weaker than usual." Dende noted.
"Hai, that's why I'm worried." Piccolo replied. "It's not like him at all. He's usually full of energy, especially since after the fight with Buu."
"Why don't you go and find out then, if you're that worried about him." Dende suggested.
Piccolo nodded in agreement and flew down towards Earth and Gohan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gohan stumbled into his room and collapsed on his bed. He was dreadfully hot and unusually drained of energy. Whether it was from the nightmare he'd suffered or for another reason, he didn't know. Gohan let a few coughs escape his throat before succumbing to a deep sleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vegeta stopped his daily training and lifted his head and cocked an eyebrow. The thing that he'd been sensing all day, and that which had played on his mind a little, now bothered him enough to halt his training.
Like Piccolo, he too could sense the drop in Gohan's Ki level and it did some-what bother him. It wasn't the level that his power had dropped to that concerned him, it was the rate it had dropped and still it was falling; inch by inch, little by little.
Vegeta snorted and walked back inside his house and went to the fridge to get a drink.
"Hi Tousan!" Trunks called cheerfully as he bounded downstairs. "Goten's coming over now to train with me, I hope you don't mind."
"Hn, what you do with you're time is no concern of mine." Vegeta replied gruffly. "If you wish to spar with Kakarot's youngest half breed then that's you're choice."
"Okay dad." Trunks replied.
Trunks was about to run outside, when he stopped and turned back to face his father.
"Tousan, can you sense Gohan's dropping Ki?"
Vegeta's eyes went wide and he turned to his son.
"You can sense it too?"
"Yeah, since early this morning." Trunks replied. "I didn't think anything of it at first, but now it's bothering me."
"Hn." Vegeta replied. "Well don't let it. I'll find out what's going on."
Vegeta then walked out the door and blasted off into the air to Goku's place.
Everyone were very confused about what was happening and totally oblivious to the threat coming for them…for Gohan.
Oooooooh so does anyone knows who it is and why Gohan's Ki is getting weaker or what's gonna happen? Want more? R&R!!!!
