The day,after the defeat of cell a young man slowly rise from his bed. His onyx eyes stared at the window for a while. events that happened the day before , haunted his dream. Only two days back,he went fishing and spending time with his dad,but now everything is gone. worst thing it's all because of him,because of his inability to control the emotions of SSJ2 form.
He then hear a sound which is so familiar to him. It's his stomach growling in hunger, since he didn't ate anything the previous day .Also,his mom didn't call him for dinner simply because she didn't cook anything yesterday. He was surprised that his cheerful mom forget to cook food because never in her life has she make gohan starved with an empty stomach and she also enjoyed cooking a lot.
Gohan then went downstairs and saw his mom cooking in the kitchen."Good morning mom " gohan greeted his mother but only silence came as a reply. He didn't bother and simply thought that mom must not have heard his greetings. He sat on a chair smelling the food while his stomach growling getting louder as each minute passed by.
"Mom,i m hungry ,please bring the breakfast soon " gohan yelled in a light tone . after that,he heard footsteps coming in his direction and became delighted .His mom came into the room with food but he can clearly see something wrong with her as well as the quantity of food she brought. That food is hardly enough for a normal human being.
Gohan looked into his mother's eyes for the first time since he came home after the defeat of cell. He startled because there was no kindness at all . He felt like he was looking into eyes of a doll,but interrupted by his hunger absolving any further thoughts. He then began to eat the food saiyan style !
After eating all the food,"Mom ,can i have more ? " asked gohan with innocent eyes and hungry stomach. His mother spoke for the first time that day."Groceries and ingredients were all used up,i cooked with whatever available .I am going out to buy some " she simply replied and went to her room and after a few minutes , she went out leaving gohan and his starving stomach in much distress.
Gohan then went to his room ,started studying . He can't concentrate on anything since for one , his mom was clearly acting weird and second , he was so hungry."May be I can go and look for some snacks in the kitchen " gohan thought to himself and went to raid the kitchen . He was clearly bewildered since a lot of groceries were there in kitchen to cook food and that amount is more than enough for 3 days to feed an entire Saiyan family(goku included)
He waited for his mom to come home but she didn't arrive and slowly it became past noon , Yet no sign of her . He hastily went outside and had a couple of fruits as his lunch. "Maybe I can train a bit" thought gohan as he went to a remote waterfall . After doing all basic stances of martial arts , he began to throw punches and kicks which is so fast , that it's not visible to the normal eyes .
"Now i feel a little better " gohan thought as he began to meditate . Sometime later , everything went silent around him as he delve deep into the meditation . Suddenly, he saw two figures coming towards him in his meditation . It's his parents , and excited at seeing them , he ran to this father to have a hug but instead got a ki blast . His eyes immediately watered .
"Dad ..." gohan called his dad with little hesitation . " How are you doing son " asked goku but before gohan could reply , he added "after killing me and made your mother , a widow " with an evil grin . Gohan was blown away by these words . Tears began flowing more rapidly as his mom began to say something .
" Honey,don't bother about what dad says because you are far worse than that . You began to hate us after raditz kidnapped you since we didn't came for your rescue and from that onwards , you wanted to kill both of us , but since you need me to take care of you , you left me out and waited for the right time to get revenge on dad ...what an evil child " his mom said while imitating a crying face.
"No mom,i won't ever hate you and dad . i love you so much mom . please believe me " gohan begged while coming near her mom. But he is punched by his dad and he fell onto ground after cruising a few meters in the air . Goku then turns into SSJ and began to punch gohan so hard that he can't bear the pain anymore and transformed directly into SSJ2 form . He then began to dodge everything goku throws at him and this continued for a while .
Goku began to chant "ka me ha me ha" as he blast that wave towards gohan . Gohan simply dodged but goku came behind him and landed a kick on his face only to hit gohan's afterimage . Goku then sped fast towards gohan and then tried to hit his stomach with a punch but blocked by gohan .goku then began to form a small ki ball in his other hand and tried to shove it to his face . when the ki ball approaches near gohan , it is stopped as gohan caught goku's hands and pushed him a little back with his ki. Eventhough goku went full on offense , he is simply no match for gohan who is in SSJ2 state.
"I wish that you were never born in the first place " goku said with the same evil grin as earlier after retracting from the fight a little . Gohan finally snapped and began to attack his father like a mad man who loses his mind . But his parents continued to hurt him by their words and by each words , gohan's anger rose .
"Stop it ,stop it . i don't want any of this " gohan shouted as he continued to rise his energy . Electricity which was swirling around him began to increase as his hair began to arc downwards . Unable to bear the pain and energy growing in him further , finally become unconscious and fell down.
After a brief time , gohan wakes up to find himself in the arms of his teacher . "Gohan ,are you alright " asked piccolo with a worried voice . He then saw vegeta standing near him with some major injuries and began to wonder who exactly can beat vegeta to this state except himself . Finally coming into full consciousness , he realized that they were in the center of a large crater . He finally realized what he has done . He goes into depression as his eyes unable to shed any tears .
Watching this ," Brat , I don't know what happened but if you began to endanger earth , i will blast you to hell " warned vegeta as he sped off towards capsule corp .
"Vegeta ... thanks " murmured gohan as began to smile a little . Surprisingly , these words actually cheered him up because it's typical vegeta showing his affection in a different way . piccolo first became a little angry at vegeta but soon delighted as gohan smiled a little .
"Kid , what happened ? " asked piccolo after waited patiently for the right opportunity .
"piccolo , ... it's " gohan hesitated a little " nothing , had a bad dream actually ". But piccolo didn't give up
"don't give me that , i can read you better than your father ,so tell me what's wrong with you " said piccolo with a little anger but gohan became tensed as he hears the word 'father'
"i said it's nothing " gohan yelled then reducing his tone a little "piccolo , it's really nothing to bother " gohan began to fly towards his home as he said those words . Piccolo just stand there . " Maybe i shouldn't have mentioned his father " thought piccolo as he lost in his own world .
After a little journey , gohan finally reached home . He saw his mom standing near the door with an angry look on her face.
"Where did you go without telling me and leaving the home empty . don't you care about anyone or anything at all " yelled his mom as she took a rod which she had hidden earlier . she began to beat gohan with that rod which was made with the same material as her legendary frying pan of doom .
"But mom , i just went out to eat some fruits since you didn't came back home for lunch and i was so hungry at that time " he defended .
"Now you even began to talk back and accusing me of making you starve ... ..." and after a little pause " so you also want to kill me as well after what you did to my husband " chichi cried but then regained her composure as she continue to beat him. Gohan took all the beatings and unable to bear the pain and what she had said , he finally collapsed for the second time that day and began to sleep .
"Ah .." said gohan as he wake up at middle of the night by his stomach needs . He then saw all the scratch marks on his body and sighed a little . He can't believe what he saw in that dream beginning to come true . "HA ! Food " exclaimed gohan as he sped towards the table which has food prepared by his mom and started eating .
"Yuck " said gohan as the food was not tasty at all and it became so cold . But he ate all , much to satisfy his hunger . He then sense some energy coming from his room and went to check . He saw his mentor standing near his bed . Unable to control his emotions ,
" Piccolo ... " cried gohan as he dive into the namekian hands . Piccolo began to pat on gohan's head as he rest his head on piccolo's lap. He felt much relieved , finally closed his eyes and as he went into sleep ...
