Chapter 2; Gohan.
Kenia closed her eyes and new this was the end. Suddenly, she heard someone crashing into a building and she opened her eyes. She noticed a tall man standing where 18 stood just seconds ago.
He wore an orange suit with a blue shirt underneath it. A blue belt was tied around his waist. He had short, black hair and a hansom face. He stood in a battle stance, ready to fight.
"What?" She said hardly edible. The man turned his gaze to her.
"Are you alright?" He said with a deep voice.
"No." She muttered. No, she wasn't.
She crawled back to her feet and staggered.
Gohan kicked 17 away, sending him to the same pile of rubble where 18 was just getting back to her feet. 17 crashed into her and Gohan quickly blasted the building behind them. The building collapsed and fell on top of them.
He grabbed the girl and fled before the androids could fight back.
The girl shrieked and struggled. He turned her around and slapped her face softly to get her to stop panicking. She gasped and started shivering.
He grabbed her legs and lifted her into a better position. She placed her arms around his neck and held quiet. He looked down and noticed the cuts and bruises on her face, as well as the large blood spot on her
belly getting lager and larger.
He frowned, deciding to take her to his mothers place. He knew his mother would take good care of the girl.
The girls' face was pale and her lips almost colorless. She was loosing too much blood.
He took off some faster and flew over the woods. He landed on the open space near the river and walked towards the house in the middle.
His mother opened the door and ran towards them.
"Gohan, you're still alive!" She noticed the girl in his muscular arms.
"oh no, what happened? The androids got her, didn't they?" Chi-Chi
asked.
"Yes. I'll tell you all about it later, she has to be taken care of." Chi- Chi frowned in worry.
" Bring her to your old bed room." She followed her son inside.
"Dad, get the first aid kit, and call the doctor!" A huge man with a gray beard and strange headgear turned around curious.
"Chi-Chi, what is going on?"
"I'll tell you later dad, just do as I said."
Kenya had trouble with keeping her eyes open and felt her being carried up the stairs. They entered a room and her savior placed her in a bed. Her eyes closed and she felt herself drifting away to an
unknown place.
Slowly, she drifted back to consciousness and heard strange voices whisper in the corner of the room.
"Promise me you won't fight them, Gohan."
"Mom, do we have to get over this again?"
"YES, we do, and I'm not going to stop until you give in. You could have been wounded, or worse, you could have died today!"
"But I didn't, so lets not wonder about what could have been!"
"Yes you didn't, but one day you will and……."
Kenia realized she had made a sound as she heard some one walk over to her.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw two faces standing close.
A pretty woman with black hair bended over and pulled the sheets back in place.
Kenia tried to speak and liked her dry lips. The woman reached for a glass of water and placed it on her lips. She drank slowly, feeling the water slid down her dry throat. The woman pulled the water back and returned it to its place.
"You have a bump on your head and lost a lot of blood. Besides from that, you have some cuts and bruises, but nothing serious." Said the man.
" We never introduced to one another. My name is Gohan and this is my mother Chi-Chi. What's your name?"
"Kenia." She answered softly. "Where am I?"
"You're in my house, Kenia, and you can stay here for as long as you like. At least until you're fully recovered." Chi-Chi answered.
One week later
Kenia walked out of the house, towards the river. She sad down on a large rock and stared at the moonlight reflected in the water.
It was very peaceful here, there was no sign of the androids' lust for destruction. She touched the bandage on her ribs. Chi-Chi said it could get off tomorrow.
She wore some clothing of Chi-Chi and her dark brown, curled hair in a clip at the base of her neck.
She threw a stone in the water and watched it bounce up a few times before it sank.
She wondered where she should go after she fully recovered from her injuries, now that Indya was gone. It was obvious she couldn't stay here, although Chi-Chi and her father were very nice to her.
And Gohan. She didn't know what to think of him. Chi-Chi had tolt her about her son and his father.
His father seemed a real nice guy, but he died 13 years ago, one year before the androids appeared.
Gohan was never home, always off helping people and fight the androids once in a while, no matter how much his mother wanted him home. She understood him though. He had the power to help people, although he wasn't strong enough to get rid of the source of their problems.
Chi-Chi believed that if her husband was still alive the androids would be long gone by now. Kenia didn't really believe until Chi-Chi explained his history.
She told of her husbands heroic fights and how he saved the day more then once. She explained about his race, the Saiya-jin 's and told about how he got to live on chickyuu-sei and how they met. She told about the Super Saiya-jin and his awesome strength.
Kenia came to like the man, and understood why Chi-Chi thought he'd make a difference. He was the creator of hope, the thing a lot of people needed right now.
Now he was gone it all depended on Gohan, one of the last Saiya-jin 's. There was only one other but he
was to young to help out in the struggle for existence. He was only 14 years old and not even near the power level of the androids. He lived in the capsule corporation with his mother.
"What are you doing here all by yourself?"
The sudden sound caused her to almost scream in shock. Gohan came sitting next to her, on the rock. She shove away a bit, to give him more space.
"I guess I needed some time alone." She answered softly. She turned her head and studied Gohan 's silhouette in the dark. He pulled up one knee and rest his arm on it. He stared over the river and seemed to be miles away.
"How can you stand this life?" She asked him with a pained voice.
"I don't know, I really don't. I guess I just live on the thought of hope. There isn't much left to live for else." He answered after a long silence.
"You know, this river makes me think of the past. I remember I used to dive of the cliff nearby and catch the largest fish I could get my hands on. I used to bring it home and my mom would bake it for me. It wasn't all that special but to me it was the best baked fish there was in the world." He told her out of the blue.
She smiled. It was nice to hear of happier times. She didn't know much of it cause she was 5 when the androids arrived. She did remember her fifth birthday though. Her mother baked a beautiful
cake with pink icier and an orange 5 in the middle. The inside was from chocolate and she ate until she was completely stuffed. She still had an old picture of her laughing with a big peace of the cake in her mouth and chocolate all around her mouth and on her hands. She was happy then, just like Indya had been one week ago.
"It's not fair." She blurred out.
"How come the innocent people always die and people like us get to live!"
"Life never is fair." He whispered and she heard the pain in his voice, although covered up.
He'd lost even more then her. He was right, life never was fair.
