Chapter 38
"TIME TO DIE SESSHOMARU!"cried Gohan
He thrust his arm out and shot an energy ball
Sesshomaru moved out of the way but Gohan appeared behind him and elowed him in the back
Sesshomaru back flipped and landed on the ground
Gohan flew at him and kicked him in the stomach.
Gohan chuckled as Sesshomaru keeled over. Sesshomaru gritted his teeth and grabbed Gohan's leg and threw him to the sky
While in the air Gohan began to repeatedly shoot energy blasts while laughing sadistically as Sesshomaru ran to avoid them
"What's the matter Sesshomaru? I thought you wanted rematch?SHOW ME MORE...MORE!"
He raised his hand and creted a large energy ball and hurled it at Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru eyes widened as he was engulfed by the ball which exploded.
The smoke cleared with Sesshomaru's Namekian arm blown off
"Sesshomaru!"cried Inuyasha
He then ran towards his brother to aid him
"I don't need assistance. Stay out of the way."he said
"Yeah right. I'm not the one with a blown off arm"retorted Inuyasha
Sesshomaru gritted his teeth and concentrated. A new Namekian arm grew from his arm
"Impressive. You sure know how to use that arm well without that much practice."said Gohan smiling
Sesshomaru glared at him
"Gohan you bastard."said Inuyasha
Tetsusaiga then crystallized
"Adamant barrage!"
The crystals shot at Gohan
Gohan began disappear and reappear avoiding the crystals
After he dodged them he looked down at Sesshomaru and Inuyasha
"You two are pathetic alone. How about you work together."he said
"He's right Sesshomaru!"cried Miroku
"Yeah. As a matter of fact I'll join you."said Bardock
"Stay back all of you!"Sesshomaru cried causing all of them to be startled
"Don't be an idiot! You can't beat him on your own!"cried Inuyasha
"The day I ask a half breed like you to help me is the day I die."
"Which may be very close if you continue to work alone."mocked Gohan
Sesshomaru's eyes turned red. His teeth began to sharpen and he began to grow fur as he turned into his dog demon form. The only distuingshed appearance was that his Namekian arm shape shifted into a large green dog's paw
"His arm changed to match the shape of the others."said Future Trunks
Sesshomaru roared as he flew at Gohan with his jaw wide open
Gohan flew out of the way
Sesshomaru then opened his mouth again and shot acid which got on Gohan's arm a little bit
Gohan flinched in pain but then smiled
"Yes Sesshomaru!That's what I'm talkin' about!"
Gohan then landed on the floor
Sesshomaru then flew down towards him with great speed and slammed his giant claw on Gohan
When the smoke from the attack cleared the others saw in shock that Gohan had caught Sesshomaru's own large claw
Gohan then slowly picked Sesshomaru up and threw him towards some rocky crevices.
Sesshomaru crashed into it
Gohan then flew at him and kicked him in the face
Sesshomaru tried to claw him again but Gohan disappeared and blasted him in the chest causing him to revert back to his normal form
Bardock gritted his teeth
"I'm ending this now!"he cried as he turned into his SSJ3 form
He flew at Gohan and elbowed him in the face causing him to crash to the ground'
Bardock then flew down and grabbed his leg and flung him into a rocky wall that was close to the others
"Gohan!"cried Kagome
She ran to him while the others called out her name
Gohan's body was smashed into the wall
he raised his head to see her
"Gohan please stop this! I know you're in there. Please turn back to normal."she said with tears in her eyes
"Ka..go...me."he said
Suddenly his head began to throb and he clutched it.
He was surrounded by an intense glowing aura causing the rocks to rise
"Kagome get away from him!"cried Inuyasha
Gohan's aura began to flare
"HAAAAAA!"he cried emitting a powerful energy wave from his body
This blew Kagome back causing her to hit the floor
"Kagome!"cried Inuyasha as he ran to her. He then picked her up and jumped to safety
Gohan continue to cry out and began to levitate into the air as he struggled to break free from his possession
Sesshomaru who picked himself up saw this while clenching his chest
"Such power."he said
"Stop it Gohan! You'll kill us all!"cried Future Trunks
Bardock was about to go stop him but suddenly he flinched with pain. He then turned back to normal. He then thought, "Damn. I don't have enough energy for my third 's mask always gave me enough energy for the form but now..."
As the dark energy wave was spreading throughout the land there was another conflict within Gohan's subconscious. He felt himself floating into darkness
"I can't give in to the ...help me. Dad"
Suddenly a flash of light came out of nowhere. Out of the light came out a man. He had an orange and blue uniform and black spiky hair.
"D...Dad?"asked Gohan
"Hello Gohan."said Goku
"Wha..what're you doing here?"
"Let's just say I'm kinda like a guardian angel. You can't believe how much I had to beg the Big Guy to let me come."
"The Big Guy? You mean God?"
"Yeah. He sent me here to help you get through this."
"I don't know if I can do anything. This ...darkness is too strong."
Goku smiled
"Come on 's no way to talk. All you need is a little light."
Goku turned Super Saiyan
"Gohan I've seen you grow into a caring and powerful warrior. You fought Vegeta,Frieza,the Androids,and even killed Cell. There's no way you can't handle this"
Gohan then thought of all the battles and conflicts he went through and smiled
"Thanks Dad."
"Now let's show this Towa person that you don't screw with a Saiyan!"
Goku and Gohan powered up causing a great aura of light which destroyed the darkness in his mind
Out there Gohan's aura turned causing the dark aura to be destroyed. His eyes turned from red to super saiyan green eyes
Finally Gohan dispatched all the darkness. He then turned back to normal an flew down. he then collapsed onto his knees once he hit the floor.
"Gohan!"cried Kagome
She then ran to him and wrapped her arms around his neck
The others followed
"It's great to have you back."said Sango
"What happened out there?"asked Future Trunks
"Well as I felt the darkness go through my mind I saw...my dad."
Future Trunks and Bardock gasped
"You saw Goku?But I thought he was dead"said Future Trunks
"He came from the afterlife to help me."
"Wait what do you mean he's dead?"asked Bardock bewildered
"Oh that's right you don't was killed by a monster named Cell seven years ago in our time."
"I see..."
Bardock clenched his fist
"So you've died also my son."he thought
Gohan turned to see Sesshomaru
"Sesshomaru. I'm sorry I didn't mean..."
"Save your apologies. I don't need pity. Our battle was interrupted. Let's leave it at that."
"Looks like someone's a sore loser."said Inuyasha
"Sit boy."said Kagome
Inuyasha slammed into the floor
They all then went back to Kaede's village
Once they made it to the house Goten,Trunks,Rin,Kohaku,Jaken,and Kaede went to greet him.
"Gohan!"cried Goten as he ran to him
Gohan picked him up and raised him high. As he held him Gohan saw tears in Goten's eyes.
"Hey why're you crying. I completely fine."he said while smiling and ruffling his hair
They went inside and explained everything that happened
"Whoa dad really did that?"asked Goten
"Yeah."
"Wow our dad's cool!"
"not as cool as mine!"argued Trunks
The others laughed as they bickered
Gohan then went outside After a few minutes Kagome joined him
"Hey."she said
"Hey. Listen Kagome, I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"I hurt you back there."
"Gohan you were being controlled. You didn't do it on purpose."
"But still. I promise I will never hurt you again and I will always protect you."
Kgome blushed at this and smiled
Gohan then looked at the sky and Kagome did the same
"Do you wonder what your dad doing up there?"asked Kagome
"Yeah. Not just him but all my family and friends."
"Thy truly were brave. To fight Mira and Buu. And your Dad is amazing to come from the afterlife to help you."
Gohan smiled
After a few minutes Kagome said,"We should get back to the tohers."
"Yeah."
As they both went Gohan turned back and looked at the sky oe final time
" that's exactly Dad is."he thought as an image of Goku smiling appeared in the night sky
