Hello everyone. Here's Chapter 7. I'm going back to school on the 21st so the updates might not be as frequent, I might be about to post a chapter every two or three weeks depending on how much work I have, though I hope I can keep updating regularly. I can't believe that I've managed to get three chapters posted in two weeks. I'll see if I can get chapter 8 up before I begin school on Tuesday though I can't be certain though I'll try.
Hope you enjoy the chapter.
EDIT 19/04/16: I went through and edited the chapter a little, so it made a bit more sense and didn't seem so rushed. That's why it's a little different from the version on . Thank you to everyone who has read this story so far. It seems that even here this story is more popular then my mother story and its only been up for about 3 days and already has 72 views.
By now I'm a little used to the fact that so many have read my story though it doesn't mean it's any less shocking. Thank you again and hope you enjoy the chapter. The relationship between Piccolo and Gohan and Vegeta and Goten will play a big part in the following two or three chapters depending on how long it takes me to get to that particular point.
Date: 13/4/15 – 17/4/15
Time: 4:44 pm – 2:00 am
ChiChi glared at Vegeta and Goten as she watched them exit the Gravity Room and walk into the house from the kitchen window, she knew the Brat had told Vegeta something, if the hard look in the Saiyan Prince's eyes was anything to go by. Goten looked like he had been crying, though it was barely noticeable. ChiChi looked down at the dish in her soapy hands and started to plan what she was going to do but knew she was going to have to very careful as she knew Saiyan's had a good sense of smell and taste.
The Z-Fighters were sitting around telling Goten and Trunks about some of their adventures, said children payed attention as Goku told them how he manage to beat King Piccolo by flying through his chest, Piccolo noticed Goku didn't mention his 'father' had spat out his egg. Nor did he mention was his 'fathers' reincarnation, Goku was probably going to keep the fact Piccolo had once been bent on killing him and taking over the world to himself.
It didn't take a genius to see just how much Piccolo cared about Gohan, his son was the reason Piccolo had changed for the better. Gohan didn't know just how much of a monster Piccolo had been before he had dragged the four-year-old Gohan away from his mother to train him for Vegeta and Nappa's arrival in a years' time.
Piccolo still didn't understand how Gohan had managed to change him, to begin with the four-year-old Saiyan had been scare of him but, had after a while gotten use to his presence and had calmed down. Goku didn't mention just how ruthless Piccolo was before he had kidnapped Gohan.
Goku could see Gohan cared about Piccolo, he had been a little shocked when he found out Piccolo had sacrificed himself to save Gohan from Nappa's attack, the six-year-old had been crying for a week even though it seemed like much when Piccolo was wished back.
Gohan had visibly gotten happier which was good to see.
Goku knew Piccolo and Gohan had a mind link from the many times the two had been in the same room and Gohan would stop what he was saying and tilt his head like he was listening to someone then shoot Piccolo an amused or annoyed look. He knew he didn't have to worry about Gohan safety since he knew Piccolo was always watching over his student and friend.
Goku never mentioned knowing about the link Piccolo and Gohan shared knowing Piccolo wouldn't want the Z-Fighter's knowing. Goku knew went to visit Piccolo at least once a week when he got the chance, so they could spar and just generally catch up, he had several pictures of the two quietly meditating or resting in the run after training, not that the two of them knew of cause.
If Piccolo ever found out about the pictures he would most certainly burn them.
Goten smiled a little and leaned against Vegeta who was standing behind him, the Z-Fighter's didn't notice and if they did, they didn't say anything. Goku had to stop himself from smiling as he told his friends about his encounter with the Red Ribbon Army and Dr Guru when he saw Goten lean against Vegeta who didn't seem to notice, nor did he seem to mind which Goku knew he should have found strange but he didn't.
Goku stopped when he saw the looks his friends were giving him and realised they must have picked up the Doctor he was talking about Dr Guru.
"You mean you actually met that insane scientist before he made us?" 18 asked staring at Goku not sure what to say or do, Goku nodded thinking back on the one time he had been caught by Doctor Guru after trying to sneak into the compound, he remembered seeing Dr Goku build something. After he had been caught Dr Guru had been ranting about the 'perfect soldier' for the Red Ribbon Army, by the time Dr Guru had gotten out the needle Goku had been strapped to a metal table.
The crazy scientist had taken at least five file of his blood reasoning that was how much he would need to create the 'perfect soldier' making them unstoppable. Dr Guru had taken Goku blood because he was going to be the strongest person in the universe at least that's what Dr Guru had thought at the time. Dr Guru hadn't known he wasn't human as Goku had his tail around his waist under his shirt.
Goku jerked and punched Vegeta Sr. in the gut when said Saiyan touched his shoulder to get his attention, the Z-Fighter's were staring at him in shock, Goku didn't understand what was wrong until he realised his tail and grown back, and he was shaking. The Z-Fighters were staring at him with concerned looks on their faces. His tail wrapped itself around his waist calming him down a little but not by much.
"Goku? What's the matter?" Krillin asked his friend, they could see he was visibly shaken about something, the distant look on his face told them he wasn't really there even though he was still talking, he had stopped and had gone rather pale and started to shake. Much to their shock his tail had apparently grown back, but that wasn't possible, it had been cut off.
The only way for it to grow back was for Kami to think it was a promising idea.
"I… oh fuck, I can't believe I didn't realise it earlier. I'm an idiot. I knew it was a bad idea letting him keep it. I should have paid more attention to what he was saying," Goku replied standing up and starting to pace around the room pulling at his hair, the Z-Fighters stared at him wondering what he was talking about, Goku Sr. looked rather alarmed about something and walked over Goku and grabbed his shoulders stopping him from pacing.
"There was no way either of us could have known he was going to use it for that," Goku Sr. stated his voice a little keeper then usual, whatever he was talking about must have been something big for Goku to be this shaken up about it. Gohan got the feeling it had something to do with Cell, he looked at Piccolo when he felt the Namekian staring at him, his eyes wider than usual.
Gohan knew they were thinking the same thing.
"Dad? Does this have anything to do with Cell?" Gohan asked trying to stop his voice from cracking, no one seemed to notice. The Z-Fighters turned to look at Gohan not sure what he was talking about then they remembered Dr Guru was the one who had created Cell, tying to get him 'perfect' because he was missing something but hadn't been able to get it while working for the Red Ribbon Army thanks to Goku almost destroying all of his research.
"It has everything to do with Cell. When Dr Guru capture me, he was working on something, said he was trying to create the per…perfect soldier and that it would be 'unstoppable' using my blood, after he took fi…five files of my blood," Goku managed to get out, balling his shaking hands. The Z-Fighter's stared at him, not really understanding what he was saying.
"What do you mean?" Krillin asked confused, not understanding what Goku was trying to tell them. His brain hadn't caught up with what Goku was saying. Vegeta was staring at Goku with a barely concealed look of horror, he understood exactly what Goku was saying, now he understood why Goku refused to let Bulma take a sample of his blood after he had come back after Cell had been defeated.
Not only was he scared of needles he subconsciously remembered what had happened the last time someone had taken his blood.
"What's the big deal, he took some of your blood?" Bulma snapped from the kitchen doorway, the Z-Fighter's flinched, turning to face her, wondering how long she had been standing there, Vegeta knew she wouldn't understand what was going on, he could see both Gohan and Piccolo were leaning against the wall to keep themselves standing, he could feel fear and horror radiating off Goku.
Ever since fighting Buu and using the Portara earrings he had been able to feel Goku emotions and sometimes hear his thoughts.
"Th-The reason Cell was able to heal so fast and had so much power was because he had Saiyan DNA," Goku stammered, Vegeta had to brace himself on the wall to stop himself from falling over as fear, horror and pain crashed into him like a tidal wave, Goku was shaking like a leaf, the Z-Fighters were staring at him wondering why on earth he was effected then Goku's words finally sunk in. Vegeta managed to push himself off the wall and walk over to Goku, putting a hand on his arm, trying to get him to calm down, silently reassuring him everything was alright.
Bulma walked back into the kitchen while the Z-Fighters were distracted by Goku to see Chichi smiling about something though she didn't know could possibly make the slightly mad women this happy. ChiChi was obviously planning something. Bulma tapped ChiChi's shoulder and asked what she was planning.
ChiChi smiled and filled Bulma in on her plan making her smile. Goku was going to regret asking them to bring his father back with him. Bardock being here had messed everything up, Bulma didn't know how much Goku had changed since they had bought him and his father back.
A Week Later – Bulma's House
The Z-Fighter's had gotten used to Bardock being around along with Vegeta, Goku and Bulla Sr. who would appear with no warning whatsoever then disappear again, no one seemed to notice Vegeta was more irritable since Bardock's vision. Vegeta knew the vision would come true in one form or another. The Z-Fighter's all found out at some point in the follow week what Goku had meant when he and Bardock had been playing Go Fish. No one had yet to beat the man which was both amusing and annoying.
Amusing for Bardock that is.
To the Z-Fighter's relief and utter shock ChiChi had apologised for the way she had been acting and was only worried about the safety of her children, they had forgiven her and Goku had hugged her though no one seemed to notice he was only acting. Vegeta, Trunks, Bulla, Goten Gohan and Piccolo were the only ones who saw past his act. ChiChi smiled sweetly at Goku as she finished putting everything on the table for lunch.
ChiChi smiled sweetly at Goku as she finished putting the food on the table.
It was amazing how clueless Goku was sometimes, she doubted he would even notice if something was off with the food, the Z-Fighter's had brought her act about being sorry for what she had said but in truth she really wasn't. If she had known Goku wasn't human she would have never married him, though she should have guessed by the way he acted sometimes, at the time she had passed it off as him not knowing how to interact with people
Back then she had thought it was a little strange that he had a tail, but it didn't really matter all that much, she had made him promise to marry her and take her out for lunch if he won the tournament, she had to stop herself from laughing when he thought it mean he would get food, she didn't bother explaining it to him knowing he wouldn't understand, when they had met again, she knew he was going to beat her but by that time she was no longer naïve
When Gohan had been born she had been over the moon, though she did wonder if she was seeing as she was sure her son had a tail, she later found out she hadn't been seeing things and had freaked out wondering why her little by had a tail, Goku explained he had been born with a tail as well so there was nothing to worry about. ChiChi had soon learned to ignore the fact her son had a tail and was developing faster than most children his age.
ChiChi nearly had a heart attack when she saw Gohan eating raw meat, she had scolded Goku for letting her son eating raw meat, but he had given her a look she couldn't decipher, it had made her feel like a rabbit looking at a panther.
ChiChi was broken out of her thoughts when she heard Vegeta and Goten talking about what he was planning to do after he finished school, she was happy her son was going to be working at Capsal Corp just like Gohan, at least he wouldn't be out there doing drugs or getting himself killed, she looked closer and saw he was leaning against the wall next to Vegeta who said something making Goten laugh, if she had paid more attention she would have realised Goten and Vegeta weren't speaking English.
Goten walked into the kitchen when ChiChi asked him to help her with something.
He stopped when he saw his mother leaning against kitchen counter with her arms over her chest, she didn't look happy. He realised after a few seconds she had he had told Vegeta what had happened. ChiChi didn't say anything she just grabbed Goten arm and pulled him to the sink making sure to pull hard enough to hurt him hopefully preventing him from moving his shoulder for the next three days.
Goten had to stop himself from gasping when his 'mother' pulled his arm. Which was still a little sensitive as the senzu beans hadn't quite finished healing it.
"If you ever say anything to Vegeta again you're going to have more than a sore shoulder. Understand?" ChiChi hissed into Goten's ear pushing the knife she was holding in to Goten arm hard enough to make him bleed, she knew no one would near them as Goten had learnt to keep his mouth shut by now. Goten tired not to shudder knowing ChiChi would go through with her threat.
Goten started to put away the dried dishes, making sure not to drop or break them knowing if he did he would be sore for a least the next week, hopefully she wouldn't hurt him too badly because Bardock was here, he jumped when ChiChi hit his shoulder with the frying pan making him drop the plates he was holding. He quickly started to clean up the broken plates, being careful not to cut himself on the sharp pieces of porcelain.
"Hurry up you unless brat. I don't have all day. I have better things to do then supervise you," ChiChi snapped one Goten had finished cleaning up the broken plates, he had to stop himself from gasping in pain when ChiChi hit him over the head with the frying pan. Hard. ChiChi didn't see Goku standing in the doorway looking less then thrilled and more than a little murderous.
"What do you think you doing?"
There Done. Hopefully I can get chapter 8 posted before I go back to school on Tuesday. I tend to write Author's notes after I've finished the chapter. That's why the Author's notes at the beginning and end of each chapter sound the same. I really need to start writing the one at the beginning before I start the chapter not after I finish it.
Anyway I hope you've enjoyed the chapter, please review and tell me what you think. Hopefully I won't keep you waiting too long for the next chapter, I'll try and get it posted on Monday afternoon but if I can't expect it on Tuesday. :)
