Chapter 4
How Am I Supposed To Live Like This?
Gohan balled his hands into fists, urging the anger he felt towards himself go away. Guilt filled his entire being, begging to be unleashed in a fit of energy, but Gohan managed to hold it in. Goku hadn't spoken since his last outburst, but the younger saiyan could tell that his father was worried. It was hard to explain, but it was there.
"Gohan, come home."
He paled. After everything he had done, his father still wanted him to go home. Just like when he was a kid, but things were different now. Gohan vigorously shook his head.
"I can't, Dad," he replied, keeping his gaze on the ground. "After all I've done, there's no way I can go back."
Goku frowned as he took a step towards Gohan, but stopped when he realized that Gohan had taken a step back.
He's leaving, a voice told Goku. He's going to leave. He won't come back. Make him stay.
But Goku knew he could never do that. If Gohan was to become a man, he'd have to learn to make his own decisions and mistakes. So, with a heavy heart, he watched his son fly off, leaving him alone to wonder if he was doing what was best and what he was going to tell Chi-Chi.

It was cold. Nights always seemed cooler outside in the grass. Gohan shivered as he leaned against a tree.
It was all for the best, he comforted himself once he began thinking of home. Dad knew it was and that's why he didn't try to stop me, but -.
A crashing from the forest interrupted his thoughts. Gohan dismissed it as an animal searching for food, but thought better of it when birds flew off into the distance. Immediately, he was on his feet, anxiously waiting for whatever menace was heading towards him.
Why does trouble always seem to follow me? he asked himself as a figure stepped out of the bushes.
Tbc. Oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh, boy. I wonder what new adventure Gohan has gotten himself into. Also, how many reviews I'm gonna get for this chapter. Remember, the more reviews I get, the faster I update!
