Yamcha walked towards Vegeta "How's it going Vegeta?" Vegeta looked surprised "You just got burned." "Ha ha very funny." "18 mentioned you were bait last night. How'd that go?" "Oh Bulma. Yeah when I woke up she was gone, and drank all my wine. She also destroyed my laptop, how do you think that went?" There was a moment of silence "So the usual with women huh." Yamcha mumbled "Wish I was still in California." Olivia spoke "Yamcha, you're finally here. Krillin told us you know something about this case." "Oh, right. Well, I saw Gohan on the night he was murdered." "You did?" "Yeah." "Tell us what happened that night?"
*Flashback*
Yamcha was at a convenience store buying some items before leaving to California. He checked his phone to notice he only has three hours left to get on the flight with the rest of the team. He walked to the register to pay for the items, then starts heading to his car. On the way he recognized Gohan walking in his direction "Gohan!" Gohan heard Yamcha calling him. "Yamcha? I thought you were suppose to be in California right now?" "I still have about three hours to head to the airport. I was just buying a few things for the trip. What are you doing out so late? I thought by now you'd be cuddling up next to Vegeta since you two are engaged and stuff." "I was at the apartment, then I got a call from my Mom. She told me to meet her at Iguana St." "Is she still trying to keep you from marrying Vegeta?" "She wants to talk about it." "That's a yes." "I told her I didn't want to speak to her, but she kept begging me to talk to her." "Don't you think you should've brought Vegeta with you?" "I don't think it's a good idea. I think she remembers Vegeta hitting her with the shark. He also came home so tired today, I didn't want to bother him while he was asleep." Yamcha felt unsure. "If you want I can tag along just in case." "No, it's alright I'm only going to talk to her then go home. It's not going to take long. Besides you gotta go to California tonight." "Are you sure Gohan?" Gohan smiled "Don't worry I'll be fine. I better get going. I want to get this over with." Gohan started flying "Good luck with the Padres!" Yamcha replied "I'll do it for you and Vegeta!"
*End of flashback*
Vegeta formed fists with both his hands. Olivia asked "Yamcha were there any other people who heard you both?" "We stood outside a laundromat. I think they have security cameras." "What's the laundromat called?" "Satan's Soap." "Is everything in this town named after him?" Elliot replied "Yes." Olivia sighed "We'll go check right now. Wait for us here."

DUH, DAH!
Satan's Soap, Satan City
John and Fin walked with the owner of the place "A murder you say? But how can I help?" Fin replied "We need footage from five nights ago to prove an alibi." "Of course, come. The security footage is in my office." Inside the office, the owner took out all the footage from her computer "Do you need footage from the inside or outside?" "outside." "I always save the footage in my computer for at least a month then transfer the videos into a flash drive. " John spoke "We're lucky then." "Here's the video." The footage took place outside the laundromat. A lot of customers were going in and out. Fin asked "Can we fast forward the video?" "Sure." As the owner fast forwarded; they caught a glimpse of Yamcha. "Wait! rewind that part." The footage showed Yamcha talking to Gohan for at least five minutes. After their conversation Gohan flew off, just like how Yamcha described it. "Is there any audio in this video?" "I'm sorry, I don't have audio." John asked "Can we borrow the video?" "Anything to help."
Back at the station. "Looks like you told the truth Yamcha." Yamcha looked at an angry Vegeta. "Vegeta, I'm sorry. I should've went with him that night regardless." Vegeta stood up and walked into another room. Yamcha let his head slump forward, facing down. Olivia spoke "It wasn't your fault. You didn't know." Yamcha clenched his fists and replied "No, I did know. Everything Chi Chi did from the start and we didn't do anything to stop it." "What does Chi Chi have to do with this?" "I think she's the one who killed Gohan." "What makes you say that?" "She's crazy." "She loves her son Yamcha. I don't think she could've done this." "You don't understand. She doesn't love Gohan as a son." Olivia and everyone else looked confused. Yamcha spoke "It's better if Krillin and 18 explain this.
Later. Krillin and 18 returned to explained to the team. "Yamcha's not lying about Chi Chi. When we first met her in the 23rd Annual Martial Arts tournament, we felt... strangely threatened... After the tournament she married Goku even though they only met four times throughout their childhood. Elliot spoke "That does sound insane." "It got more weirder as time went on." "How weird?" "She used to love Goku so much. Then when she had Gohan she didn't care about him anymore. I remember when we fought Vegeta the first time he came to Earth. After the battle was over Chi Chi only ran to Gohan even though Goku took the most damage." Yamcha added "She didn't even feel like visiting Goku in the hospital. It's as if she felt obligated to visit." Elliot chuckled " You're all crazy. It's normal for a parent to behave that way towards their kids." 18 spoke "You think it's also normal for Chi Chi to raise Gohan to be her new husband?" Olivia heard 18's comment "Wait what?" She planned Gohan's life ever since he was born." "18, how do you know?" "Back then before the Cell games, when I used to destroy things. Me, my brother and our friend had a mission to eliminate Goku. While I was ransacking his house to search for him I found Chi Chi's journal." "You read it?" "Only the first page. I'll never forget what it said."
Dear, Diary
It's been a week since my son's been born. When I first saw him, he was beautiful. I felt different kinds of emotions towards him. If I would have to describe them, it would feel like the first time I fell in love with Goku, but stronger. I have to say whoever dates my little handsome man would be the most luckiest girl in the world. I bet he'll grow up to be smart, good looking, have a successful career, maybe even rich. Oh Kami! Why couldn't I have been born a year later. I would love to be with my own son. Does that sound weird? He's so precious I don't want anyone to have him. I'll do anything for him. I'm going to spoil him, educate him, teach him how to take care of himself, and how to take care of me the right way. It feels like the universe is giving me a second chance for a good marriage. Destiny... This means I don't have to take care of Goku anymore. It was huge mistake marrying him. It feels like I was sold to a monster. He doesn't stop stuffing his face which makes me afraid he's going to leave my Gohan malnourished. That's not even the worst part. He's a muscle bound jerk. All he does is fight, and he says he wants to teach Gohan martial arts. As if I'll let him! My Gohan doesn't need to kill himself that's Goku's job. The worst of all, is his stupidity. He's not educated, he can't drive, he doesn't even have a job to get things for my Gohan! I wish I could just leave him. If I do that though he'll probably send his barbaric gang after me. I can't expose my Gohan to all of that. He deserves the best. I'll try and be strong for the both of us. Kami I hope Goku dies somewhere along the way so he'll never come back. I'll finally have the husband I always wanted, smart, handsome, and hopefully rich. I also hope we'll have lot's of children in the future.
Videl came and overheard the conversation "That can't be true." Everyone turned, surprised to see Videl. "Why was I with him then?" Krillin replied "We don't know Videl, we're sorry." Videl felt chills "W...Why didn't you guys tell me before I went out with him?" Yamcha replied "Gohan told us to never get involved when it comes to his Mom." Krillin spoke "That's one of the reasons why Gohan broke up with you. He didn't want to hurt you Videl." Videl remembered when Gohan broke up with her.
*Flashback*
"I'm sorry Videl." "What did I do wrong Gohan!? Is it because of my Dad? I thought we talked about this." "That's not it." "Then what's the problem!?" "My life. I feel as if I was living a lie. I never made my own choices. I want to start over, and live my life the way I want." Videl scowled at him "By that do you mean sleeping with Vegeta." Gohan looked surprised that Videl mentioned his lover "That's right, I know about it. Gohan you're stealing somebody's husband, plus that guy is old enough to be your Dad, that's sick!" "Age doesn't matter, but that's not the point. My Mom just forced me to go out with you" "I woudn't blame her." There was a pause She asked Gohan "Just answer me this question." Gohan payed attention. "How long did you have a crush on him?" "Videl, I-" "Just answer me Gohan! How long!?" Gohan sighed. He answered "Since I was a kid." Videl's eyes widened she raised her hand *Crack!* to Gohan's face "You sick fuck!" "I'm sorry." "Don't ever talk to me again!" "Videl please understand." "Drop dead!"
*End of flashback*
"I didn't even listen to him." Yamcha spoke "You didn't know Videl, it's not your fault." Videl still felt uneasy "Do any of you guys know what she planned to do with me?" Krillin replied "Like we said, we don't know what Chi Chi wanted to do to you." A voice answered "I know." Everyone turned to the window. Krillin looked surprised "Piccolo." "Hey, what's going on?" "H…How was the battle?" "Tough at first but you know Goku." "Piccolo did you see Gohan up there?" "I did, and your suspicions are right. Chi Chi did kill him." Elliot asked can you explain how do you know?" "Dende saw everything that night." Videl asked "Piccolo what did you mean you know?" "I knew Chi Chi's plan. I was training and I heard what happened."
*And another Flashback*
(I promise this is the last flashback...In this chapter)
Chi Chi yelled "Gohan why did you break up with Videl!?" "Mom I don't love her." "You didn't have to love her son, we only need her money." "Mom that's wrong." "You know what else was wrong living with your monster of a father. That was wrong! Call her back Gohan." "No." Chi Chi held Gohan's face "Son, please listen to me. You don't have to love her. We only need her money that's all. You'll marry Videl, live with her for about two or three years. No children though. Then when the time comes we'll both kill her and steal money from Mr. Satan." "Mom! You want me to kill an innocent person?" "Oh come on Gohan! That little brat's father took all the fame that should've been yours from the start! She and Mr. Satan deserve it!" "I know Mr. Satan's a con Mom, but Dad always told me to let life handle those kinds of people." Chi Chi leg go of Gohan's face and crossed her arms "You're right Gohan, that's why your father's dead. He was a monster that never cared about us. Thank Dende he's dead!" Gohan's eyes widened "How could you say that? Didn't you love Dad?" "You're father was nothing but a crude beast. Forget about him, he doesn't matter to us anymore. That grimm chapter of our life is over." Chi Chi snuggled into her son's chest "We can finally be together Gohan. Start a new life, get married and have lots of children." Gohan feeling disgusted pried his mother away from him. "Mom I've told you millions of times I don't love you that way either. Stop trying to make me your husband!" "You're meant to be with me Gohan. Life brought us together for a reason!" "Yeah because I'm your son, not a stranger! We have the same blood! Do you understand?" "Gohan, millions of years ago the world populated with only a few humans. They were related, you said so yourself." "Yeah, that was millions of years ago but this is not the beginning of the world, this is the future. What would Goten think if he saw you acting that way towards me?" "It's normal Gohan, he's your son remember." "Mom, I already did five DNA tests in five different clinics. He's clearly my little brother." "Tests can be wrong." "He's the exact replica of my Dad." "Don't you dare say that! There's no way I would ever get pregnant with that monster! I only fucked him for 5 minutes, and I didn't even let him cum inside me!" "It doesn't matter now Mom, he's here! I'm just glad he met Dad at the tournament so he knows." Chi Chi covered her face and cried "I wish I would've gotten a miscarriage while I was pregnant with that miniature beast! He's just like Goku!" Chi Chi's comment made Gohan nauseous. "I can't believe you would say that. I'm done." Chi Chi looked at Gohan "What?" "I'm done Mom. I can't live this way anymore, I'm moving out." "Gohan you can't leave me with this little monster! Take me with you!" "You're right. I can't leave you alone with him. I'm taking Goten with me." "No! ...I won't let you! If you're not taking me, you won't take that little freak with you either!" "I'll try and take him from you legally!" "Good luck with that! You have no proof I'm an unfit mother!" Gohan realized she's right. He has no physical evidence to prove it. A voice called out to him "Big bro..." They both turned to see Goten out of bed. Chi Chi scolded him "Goten, how many times do I have to tell you to call Gohan Dad!" "But... he's my big brother, I met my Dad at the tournament." Chi Chi raised her hand at Goten. "Goku's not your Dad!" Gohan snatched her hand "Don't you dare!" Goten ran to his big brother "Gohan I'll be okay." "Goten I don't want to leave you here with her." "I can handle it big bro. Don't forget I'm also the son of Son Goku." "Goten…" "Please Gohan. I hate seeing you suffer here. I want you to be free from Mom." Gohan picked his little brother up "Goten, please don't make me do this." "Gohan… trust me." "Are… Are you sure?" Goten hugged Gohan "I'll be strong for the both of us." Chi Chi felt her anger rising hearing those words. Gohan set Goten down and patted his head "I'll try to visit you often okay." Goten nodded yes. Chi Chi snarled "Gohan don't leave me with this thing from hell! We were meant to be together! Gohan!" Chi Chi grabbed a hold of Gohan's black vest pulling him. "Please baby, I'll let you choose a rich girl next time." "Mom stop it! Let go, your lifelong plans with me are over." "Fate brought us to be together Gohan. You can't change that." "We'll, now fate has someone else for me." "What do you mean?" "I'm going to live with Geta." Chi Chi looked confused "Geta..?" "I mean Vegeta." "V..V..Vegeta?!" "That other pure breed monster!?" "I was going to tell you, but I was afraid. We we're lovers for about a year. That's why him and Bulma divorced." "I...It has to be a joke. You can't be attracted to a male. I was with you for your whole life. I bet it was your father! He probably molested you while you both were in that stupid hyper-something chamber!" Chi Chi buried her face into Gohan's chest again "Don't worry Baby we'll find some help to cure this sickness together." "Dad didn't do anything to me Mom, it was my heart. My heart made it's first choice, and it chose Geta." "Gohan you're obviously coming down with something. Vegeta was the one who beat you senseless remember!" "Because he didn't know me." "What makes him better than me Gohan?" "First of all, he's not related to me at all." "Second, he doesn't force me to do things I don't want to do. Besides what happens in the bedroom." "You two slept together!?" "Yeah we did. What of it?" Chi Chi fell to her knees trying to hold herself together "M..M..My..My..My Gohan's been raped by a crude beast just like his poor mother! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Gohan feels annoyed "I've had enough of this I'm leaving." Gohan went over to Goten and kissed him on his head and smiled towards his younger brother "I'll see you later squirt, be careful okay." Goten replied "I will. Goodnight Gohan tell Vegeta and Trunks I said hi." "I will." Gohan started flying, heading towards Satan City. Goten tried to comfort his sobbing mother "Don't worry Mom, Vegeta loves Gohan very much, Trunks told me himself." Chi Chi pushed her youngest son "Stay away from me! This is all your fault! You were never suppose to exist!" Goten looked worried "Mom..." Piccolo was training near the mountains, and just heard what happened in the Son household. he sensed Gohan and smiled "Finally. My boy's growing up."
