Title: When I'm Gone

Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ or DBGT, nor do I own any of its characters! However I do own Ame-Mizu (rain-water), she is my own original character!!!!

Couples: G/C, Goh/Vid, B/V, K/18, Got/Br, A/T (Pan and Trunk will have a 'thing' at the beginning)

Summary: What if Goku has another child, a daughter, who was taken at birth and grew up in other world with Goku after he died, but stayed there after he went back to fight Buu. What if she came back just after Goku became a super sayian 4? And what about if her soul is connected to that of the destiny of the dragonballs???

Authors Note: Some is set around the time Goten is born, but a lot of it is set when Goku is fighting baby. So Spoilers up till that point, but anything that happened up until after the baby saga doesn't happen!

Part 1: Butterfly hopes

SEVEN YEARS LATER…

"Ame's a birdie Ame's a birdie." A small 7-year-old child called out to her father, as she flew around his head.

"Of course you are sweety, but how do you know what a bird is, if we don't have them in other world." Ame stopped, and looked guilty for a moment, he black eyes looking towards the ground.

"I went and saw Goten doin it, when big browther was teachin em ow to fly. Me sowwy, me know me not supposed to go peek at big browther or Goten without you, but he was having so much fun!" She explained to her father.

"That's ok Ame. So your just coping your brother huh?" Goku grinned at his youngest child, Goten was born 10 minutes before Ame.

"So your not mad at me daddy? Yey!" She flew into her father's arms. At 7 years old, she was still as innocent as Goku had always been. "Do you ave to go back to earth daddy? I don't want you to go without me. I want to see mommy and Gohan, and Goten, and everybody! I especially want to see Trunks, he has pretty hair." She flew out of her father's arms, not really caring about what she just said. 'Trunks huh? Who have guessed? I don't think Vegeta will like that!' Goku thought to himself.

"I have to go, but I'll be back. And maybe soon we can both go back for good. Would you like that Ame?"

"Really you mean it daddy? That would the most incredible and awesome thing that could happen to a kid my age, I could go home! That's like better then competing in the world tournament, not matter what Goten says. Did you know that he and Trunks were gonna fight too dad, huh did ya?"

"No I didn't Ame. That should be fun huh, you can watch your brother's and me fight, with King Kai! Would you like that?"

"Yea!" She hugged her father again and began to fly off to find someone to play with. Goku didn't mind her fly off, as everyone in other world knew Ame-Mizu, so she was perfectly safe.

"Goku?" He turned around and saw his good friend King Kai aka North Kai, standing next to Baba. "It is time for you to return to earth. You should go say your goodbye to Ame, Goku." The Kai told him, and Goku nodded his head before flying off after his daughter.

Hey Ame, where are you honey?"

"Here I am daddy." She called out, whilst splashing about my the water's edge. She had a sad expression on her face.

"What's wrong Ame?"

"I had a vision." One of Ame's powers was that she could sometimes see the future. "When you go back to earth, I wont see you until I turn 21 daddy. It's true, honest." Tears began to fall from her eyes.

"Sweety are you sure? Maybe it was wrong." Goku could see his daughter looked frustrated.

"No it's not wrong. But I will see mommy for a little while, very soon, I can't tell you how. I'll see Gohan, and Mr Vegeta, Bulma and Gohan's girlfriend. They all die, but they come back again." Goku looked rather shocked.

"If that's true, then something bad must happen at the tournament."

Yup that's right, there's a bad man called Buu, but he will turn up in his own time. Mr Satan helps you as well!" 'Hercule's gonna help? Gee that's strange!' Goku thought to himself. He kneeled down to his daughter's level, and looked into her eyes.

"Are you sure Ame-Mizu?" She nodded to confirmed it. "Then will you be ok if King Kai looks after you for the next few years of you life? And remember no-one can know who you are!"

"Can I please tell big browther Gohan, so I can help him. When he comes here he isn't dead!" she told her father. Goku thought about for a moment.

"I guess that would be ok, as long as he promises not to tell anyone else!"

"Thank you daddy! Now he will know that I know all about him." She grinned up at him.

"So what's this about Gohan having a girlfriend?"

"Your see daddy, she's really pretty!" Goku was going to ask more, but King Kai called to him. "Bye daddy!!" Ame called as her father and Baba disappeared. "King Kai, can we go watch out for people coming in to other world, my mommy and big browther will be here later!" And with that she ran off to see King Yemma at the front desk of the other world.

"My, my she is going to be a handful for the next few years." King Kai said to no-one in particular, as he now knew that until she turned 21 he would be her father.

HOURS LATER.

"Where, where am I?" A confused Gohan asked sitting up. Looking around he could clearly see Supreme Kai and Kibito, but there was also a little girl running around after a butterfly. He didn't recognise her exactly, but she looked a lot like his mother, and the way she was acting reminded him of his younger brother Goten.

"Look Kai I caught the butterfwe. Aint it prewy. Can I keep it, can I?" She pleaded with the young looking Kai.

"Of course you can Ame. But remember you must stay out of Gohan's way after you tell him who you are!" Gohan looked confused as the young flew up to him.

"Take my hand Gohan, I have something to show you." The young girl that Kai called Ami told him. Gohan seemed unsure at first, but when he looked into her eyes, he could see that they were the same eyes as that of his father. He took her hand, and the flashes began. Ame's life flashed before his eyes. He growing up with Goku, being taught how to fight by King Kai, how she watched as he himself took care of Chi Chi and Goten. He could see how his father's love shaped this young girl into the innocent child that she was. He also saw how she was connected to the black star dragonballs, unknown to any other in this or any other world. Suddenly the flashes stopped, as Ame let go of his hand.

"Hello big Browther." She smiled at him, and her smile was exactly like Goku's. "You must go save the world now, or everyone will die. As it is lots of people will be coming later anyway because Mr Vegeta will blow them up!" 'That can't be good' Gohan thought!

"Well I guess I can try." Supreme Kai explained what must be done, while Ame went of to chase a butterfly. Before she left she called out to Gohan,

"Good luck big Browther, and I hope that you marry Videl real soon!" Gohan blushed, but Ame didn't notice, she just ran off…
