All the Little Bit Harder
Disclaimer- Sadly I don't own Dragonball Z, I wish I did though.
Note- Death, it comes and goes. It happens to everyone yet being wished back alive happens scarcely and only when something bad happens. It's not every day where someone refuses to return. It's happened twice to Gohan, first his father refused because he thought it would be best for the human race if he didn't return. Secondly to his mother, who was unable to return with the Earth's Dragonballs yet she could have been brought back by a simple trip to the planet Namek. She wanted to stay with her true love, his father thus leaving Gohan on Earth defending everything he knows and loves including his little brother. Yet danger is constantly Following Son Gohan which makes his life all the little bit harder.
Thank you guys for reviewing, I appreciate it. I have updated sooner than I thought but that's because I released this chapter and the one after are completed but I don't want to bring both the new chapters out at the same time now do I?
Well I'm glad some of you enjoy the little twist I put in the last chapter, it brings a lot of confusion to the characters in the chapters that follows but I can't reveal too much. I can tell you that this story might end up being a two part story (or more).
IF THEIR IS ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SEE HAPPEN, REVIEW AND TELL ME! AND YOUR WISH COULD COME TRUE.

Chapter ten: he was meant to die at the cell games
"He was meant to die at the cell games" Kasha said realising the truth about the legends. "The legends were wrong, maybe he is no hero."
He might not even be the right Son Gohan, what am I doing travelling with him. His meant to be DEAD. But no here he is, maybe it will be his son. The legends said that the Son Gohan was half saiyan and from what he said his a full saiyan yet something about him seems so right yet wrong at the same time. He was meant to train in the otherworld whilst his parents grieved for his death and refusal to come back. Have the cell game's even happened? I'm too scared to ask. His meant to have been brought back to life in three years time so how can this be so different to the legends. It's not possible not unless they were untrue. I wasted a good deal of my life so far believing in them, my parents died fighting because they believed in them too and it's all wrong. Everything is a lie, maybe I'm being tested, and hopefully this is a dream. I moved my hands to pinch my skin yet I did not awake. This was as real as it could get.
Whilst she was lost in her own thought about how the legends surrounding the young saiyan half-breed seem to not be true, Gohan walked into the kitchen. Over an hour had passed and both needed to tell each other things. At first she didn't realise the twelve year old enter the room but after he put her hand on her shoulder and apologised for being of she told him they needed to talk. She had to explain to the saiyan that something wasn't right about the legends.
"Kasha, there's something I have to tell you, it's a long story and it started when my father died at the cell ga..."
"No Gohan, there's something that I have to tell you." She interrupted. This caused a look of confusing upon the young saiyan's face. "The legends about you are all wrong. You said that you were a full saiyan yet the legends said that you are meant to be a half saiyan."
"I see, well the legends are right then, for I am a half saiyan but I was warned by the Prince of all saiyan's to pretend like I was a full saiyan."
"Oh I see" I don't have it in me to say he was meant to die at the cell games. If his father died then that means he died instead of Gohan. This could also make him to blame for his father's death. I can't do that to Gohan, his only a child still. "How about I make some food kid?"
"Food, yes please" He happily replied "Oh and just to warn you I will increase the gravity in the main hanger of the ship so that I could get some training done."
"Fine, I'll stay in here and cook your food."
Gohan walked out of the kitchen room and shut the door, he headed over to the gravitational control section and set it to three hundred times Earth's Gravity. Swiftly he powered up to super saiyan and started kicking his feet around in the air.
I wish Kasha could fight and she thinks her race is stronger than Earthlings. All the human members of the Z gang are a lot more powerful than her, maybe only certain members of her species are stronger. He thought as he punched the air. "I'm not going to get any serious training done fighting myself."
He sat down in a meditative pose where he lifted his body of the ground using his Ki. He stayed in the meditative state for about an hour which by then he lost all concentration because of the sweet smell of food cooking. He stood up and turned off the machine and returned back to the kitchen. This was going to be Gohan's tenth meal of the day. Whilst Kasha started serving up the food, an alarm from the ship started beeping "Warning, Warning, Warning" Over and over again yet before he could respond the ship shook violently and the food went over his body. Kasha knelt down to the floor screaming something about crashing on being abducted yet Gohan wasn't overly worried.
He got up and got into the control room, the computer screens flashed warning over and over again. They were stuck in an asteroid field. "KASHA, COME HERE" He yelled at the top of his voice, she entered the room on all fours. "Stay close to me okay" she nodded her head at the request whilst he grabbed onto her hand. He watched through the giant window whilst she refused too, she felt an asteroid crash against the side of the ship yet Gohan stayed as still as possible.
"Gohan is this really that safe"
"Don't worry, we have an escape pod but it's only got one seat "He started to say but paused as he saw the look of worry upon her face. "Don't worry; it will fit both of us"
Another asteroid flew against the ship; this time shook more than before. The warning system beeped louder shouting for the evacuation of the ship. He then scooped up the girl who was taller than himself and flew through the violently shaking ship to a small pod. He opened it up and placed her inside yet before he got in himself, another asteroid flung against the ship. This one was larger in size and caused the panel made from the same material as Chi Chi's frying pan of doom to come crashing down against his head. He sank to the ground immediately.
"Gohan" Kasha yelled yet before she could act the ship violently shook and caused her to bang her head against something hard thus knocking her out. Another asteroid hit the ship; this one caused all the lights to flicker out and was strong enough to push the ship out of the way to New Namek.
Instead the ship was pulled into a mostly brown planet's atmosphere, the ship became a ball of fire as it came crashing down. It fell until it shattered into many different pieces as it smashed into the hard ground. Gohan's and Kasha's body lay on the ground of the hot country, both covered in blood yet not dead from the fall, A flash of purple saved both Gohan and Kasha.
... ...
They rested in a small brown room, both laid on separate beds. To the left of the room a small desk lay and to the right the two single beds pushed almost together but separated by a small gap. Both were covered in dried blood yet Kasha was more seriously wounded. Gohan's wounds healed a speed greater than hers and only had a few scratches left from the almost fatal wounds. Kasha was wrapped head to toe in a bandage.
A strange figure nursed over the two youngsters, it placed a cold cloth over the top of their heads and with its fingers, it fiddled on a wishing bead. Hoping that the two travellers will get better sooner rather than later. Hour's passed and still no sign of the two coming around. The carer left, gone to get food.
The boy stirred, he was coming around. His eyes flickered open; the intense sunlight beaming in. He forced his tongue to lick the dry blood from his lips and sat up. He moved his hands over to his stomach where he felt a moist dressing; slowly he unravelled it to see more dried blood and a deep scratch. His eyes retreated from his own wound and made its way over to Kasha who resembled a mummy. He stood up and moved around the small room until he reached the destination of a broken window where he looked at the outside.
It was a planet that seemed dried out of its natural water, the intense sunlight caused the distance itself to appear hazy. Beams of heat, sand that flowed through the wind and a dark shaded character walking towards the very hut he rested in. Obviously it was the one who took care of his friend and himself. The one that had somehow managed to save both of their lives, or so did he think.
The half saiyan returned to his bed where he sat whilst he waited for the arrival of the individual. Judging by the low energy signals that were being let of from the creature, he knew that this creature was no threat to him.
It entered its home seeing the half saiyan sitting on his bed. The creature wore a brown trench coat with a hood that was hanging directly over its face; it was a few centimetres shorter than him when he stood up. Something about this creature seemed familiar yet it was hiding every aspect of its body. They both stared at each other; Gohan could only see its eyes, cold black eyes. It stared into the young saiyan's cold black eyes as well, neither moved from their staring competition.
It could have been about ten minutes or maybe an hour yet they continued to stare. Kasha stirred in her bed, her eyes shot open and she screamed in pain. Both of them turned to face the girl whose injuries were severe. Gohan reached into his pocket, looking for a sensu bean but it must of fell out when they crashed.
"I'm sorry Kasha, I can't make it better" He said in an apologetic tone. His eyes moved from her damaged body over to the creature that pulled out a bottle from inside its coat. He watched as it moved over to Kasha where he forced a protective growl yet the creature ignored it and poured the liquid down to her throat.
Within seconds Gohan had pushed it up against the wall, screaming "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER?" yet he was given no reply.
Behind him, a soft hand touched the saiyan's bare shoulder.
"Gohan let go, He made me better" The angelic voice of Kasha whispered into the saiyan's ear. Gohan released his grip and turned around to see Kasha still wrapped heavily in bandages yet was cured completely.
The creature then started to unravel Kasha's bandages, in some spots, high concentration of blood stains appeared whilst in others it was clean. Her clothes were ripped and covered in dry blood, possibly a mixture between her own and Gohan's. Soon after removing the bandages, the creature left yet communicated with the two young beings to follow. They did as it said for it saved their lives. Both walked behind the being as they walked in silence for fourteen minutes. The surroundings seemed so familiar to the saiyan child; it was as though he was here before.
A world where the colour brown dominated the earth, to the left there was a small section of green yet that was only six metres long and seven metres wide. Then everywhere else were tall dried out mountains and the large sun slowly making you tired.
The three beings paused in the middle of the desert like planet. The creature that lead the children their seemed to be waiting for something and indeed it was. Within ten minutes of waiting both Gohan and Kasha sat down on the floor thinking that they were lost yet from the horizon Gohan could see something.
It was a large group of black dots, as they strolled closer they appeared to be identical to the creature that saved them. Each wore a black coat which covered their entire bodies. Then it hit Gohan to why the surroundings of the area seemed so familiar, he has in fact been here before. He came in his dreams, it's them. They reached the group yet held their distance, the one with the children joined the others of its kind and they all looked down on the two on the floor.
"It's you" Gohan said casually as if he had previously known who they were. "You're the ones from my dreams."
"Yes boy who could eat more than us, We finally have you here" The leader at the front replied, this caused Kasha to shoot Gohan a look of confusion.
"Gohan how could you know these people? And what do you mean by your dreams."
The saiyan boy ignored their questions as he stood up. He strolled closer to the creatures and kneeled before them.
"I have come here to learn to read the ancient prophecy""
"Yes we know boy who could eat more than us, we were the ones that brought you here and saved you from the storm that I, god for this planet created to bring you here but first boy who could eat more than us, we must introduce ourselves to you."
"Ok then" He stood up and felt Kasha's shadow fall over him. The so called God for this planet removed its hood and threw of its cape. All of the other creatures repeated this action, finally showing themselves.
The creatures were pink; every single one of them appeared to have purple dots on their foreheads, their eyes squinted open with four lines of wrinkles just above them. Their ears were large and pointy whilst underneath their eyes more wrinkled areas of the skin appeared. They all had two whiskers each. The clothing they wore was similar to what his father returned in just before the androids, just before the ghastly Cell games.
"Son Gohan, the first born son of the first super saiyan from this era Son Goku, We are the Yardrat's." They all chanted simultaneously.
"Wait wasn't it you who taught my father the instant transmission technique."
"Yes boy who could eat more than us, it was us and we shall teach you once you perform the miracle."
"What miracle?"
"You will bring green back to us, for it is in the legend"
"The legends are wrong" Kasha interrupted "Surely you should notice that, his meant to be DEAD"
"WHAT? I'M MEANT TO BE DEAD!" He yelled "HOW? WHEN? WHY?"
"Gohan, do me a favour and SHUT UP. I'm busy talking"
"You were the one who interrupted me..."
"Girl who travel with boy who can eat more than us, we know your legends are wrong" The Yardrats interrupted.
"Exactly, so you're just wasting your time talk..."
"No, for your legends are wrong yet ours are the true ones." They interrupted again, Kasha shot a look of confusion at the creatures, her facial expressions looked like she was angry and about to start shouting at the Yardrat's.
"So I'm not meant to be dead." Gohan replied in a confused tone.
"You must see for yourself boy, you must learn to read the legends in out holy tomb, then you must do what they say and as a reward we will teach you the instant transmission technique so you can return with the girl that's always wrong and read the rock from our planet launched to yours because it held a danger none could handle." The god of the Yardrat's turned around and the others did the same, they copied their god whilst walking away and Gohan and Kasha followed behind the many members of the Yardrat's.
