Disclaimer:
I don't own any of the DBZ characters. I do own any characters that I made up.
A/N:
While reading over Revenge Is Sweet pt 7 I noticed I left a bit out…oops.
Anyway this is to make up for it guys! It is set directly after Alley has been
wished back with the Dragonballs. Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Goten
and Alley were on their way home. Goten was at a loss for words. His beautiful
wife was with him once again, she was carrying their child and nothing seemed
like it could possibly spoil this moment. It started raining.
"Do
you think we should speed up a bit?" Goten asked but Alley shook her head.
"What's
the matter G-man? A little water never hurt anybody!" Alley said cheerfully.
Goten remembered something that Gohan had told him a few months ago.
**FLASHBACK**
"At
least she finally got to rest peacefully." Gohan said. Goten turned to look at
him.
"How
do you mean?" Goten asked.
"There
are a lot of things she didn't tell you. I'm not sure you want to hear them
right now." Gohan said as a confused face crossed Goten's features.
**END
FLASHBACK**
"C'mon
Al, let's go." Goten said, picking her up and flying home. They got back to
their house and shook off the excess water.
"I'm
gonna go upstairs and change." Alley said heading upstairs. Goten just nodded.
His thoughts were on something else right now.
**FLASHBACK**
"Mr
Son I'm afraid I have some bad news. Your wife was in a critical condition, the
bullet was about an inch from her heart and some of the vital nerves were
struck. The baby died instantly. As for your wife, her body has had many
near-death injuries in her early life…" The doctor at the hospital had said.
**END
FLASHBACK**
Goten
kept replaying those last scenes over and over in his head trying to make some
sense of them. **I have no idea what they're talking about…she'd tell me if
there was something wrong wouldn't she?**
"Hey
hon, what's the matter? You look all serious." Alley said rummaging about the
fridge.
"Hmm?"
Goten said absentmindedly. Alley pretended to look cross.
"Are
you okay? Not that I mind you looking serious…it gives you a sort of dangerous
look." Alley said putting her arms around him. "Aw, c'mon! At least give me a
clue."
"Alyson,
we need to talk." Goten said motioning for her to take a seat. She sat down.
"It
must be serious if you're using my birth name."
"I
know that there are some things that you have been hiding from me…"
"Hiding?"
"You
can't deny it. Gohan's hinted at it and so have several other people now that I
think about it. What aren't you telling me?" Goten asked. His voice had
absolutely no emotion, his face was as hard as stone. If someone came in and
stabbed him in the stomach it wouldn't have made a difference.
"I
am not sure what you're getting at." Alley said. Goten slammed the table in
frustration causing Alley to jump.
"Okay
then I'll make it easier for you! What the fuck was Gohan talking about when he
said at least you got to rest in peace? How come my dad said the same fucking
thing?! What the hell did Scott mean when he said you were shot?! AGAIN!! I
need to know why the hell you are fucking me about!" Goten yelled. Alley looked
as shocked as if Buu was standing in the doorway. She looked away from him and
outside the window.
"There
is nothing that I haven't told you. I told you everything you needed to know."
Alley said, her voice cracking as if she would start crying any minute. Goten's
face went from angry to hysterically happy.
"I
KNOW!! BUT WHAT ABOUT WHAT I WANT TO KNOW?!" Goten screamed. Alley
looked him square in the eye.
"There
is no need to shout at me I am in the same room as you!" Alley spat. Goten
clasped his two hands together and put them on his face slowly dragging them
down.
"Why
won't you tell me? Is it because you don't trust me? Or is it because you don't
love me?" Goten asked. Alley shook her head.
"It
has nothing to do with that."
"Then
why can't you tell me?!"
"Because
it is none of your business!"
"How
the fuck is it none of my business?! I am your husband!!"
"Well
all of that shit happened before I was your wife! Before I was your
girlfriend!! Before you went and screwed me around for who knows how many
years!" Alley screamed, tears now running freely down her face.
"I
want to know what happened to you!" Goten shouted. His face was red from all of
his shouting and he was beginning to lose patience.
"Why?!
Do fulfil the dying need of your bloody curiosity?! Well excuse me but unless
you have experienced the kind of life I've had then you'll never understand!
NEVER!!"
"How
the hell do you mean? I've been in many battles! I've watched hundreds of
people die at the age of seven!! How the fuck can you tell me I've had a better
life than you?"
"You
just don't get it! You're too blind by all of your bullshit assumptions that
you don't even know the real deal. Look at you! You have all of your family
with you plus an extended family! You have people that love you and are willing
to die for you and you still think that you have a bad life! People would kill
to have a life like yours!"
"Well
maybe if your brother had a little more responsibility then he could have took
care of you!" Goten yelled. Alley went up to him and slapped him across the
face.
"Don't
you dare Son Goten! You bastard!" Alley said running upstairs and locked
herself in a room.
Goten
was at a loss for words but this time he wasn't so happy. He couldn't believe
how quickly that argument had turned ugly. He couldn't believe that she didn't
trust him enough to tell him. Or maybe it was because she couldn't tell him. He
flew out of the house and around to get a peek in the window. He saw her crying
on the floor all scrunched up in a ball. She was holding a picture in her hand
and looking at it fondly. Goten strained his eyes to see who was in the
picture. It was a woman who looked a lot like Alley, a man he didn't recognize
and a little boy. Goten wasn't sure who those people were but the look on
Alley's face broke his heart. He never wanted to cause her so much unhappiness.
All he wanted was for their marriage to be close and no secrets. He tapped on
the window and she looked up. Her face darkened and she turned away.
"C'mon
Alley! I'm sorry! Will you please say something? Anything?" Goten asked but she
wouldn't respond. "At least a sign to show me how you're feeling?" Alley walked
up to window and gave him a sign. She stuck her middle finger up at him and
shut the blinds.
"Well,
at least we're communicating." Goten sighed. He went back inside the house and
knocked on the door.
"ALLEY!!"
He shouted but she didn't answer. Goten sighed. "I knew dying was a bitch but I
didn't think it'd make you this upset." Goten said. He heard a slight giggle
from inside. He decided a different approach.
"I
just want to help. Sometimes it helps for someone to listen, it's unhealthy to
keep things bottled up inside."
"Oh?
And since when did you become a doctor? I don't see you with a degree!" Alley
shot back.
"Listen
I'm trying to reach out here."
"Well
reach somewhere else! I'm sure the toilet needs cleaning!"
"Alley…"
"…This
isn't a subject I like to talk about ya know…my past isn't my favourite place
to visit."
"Well
you won't be visiting it alone."
"The
door's unlocked. I was faking." Alley said. Goten came in the door and put his
arms around Alley. She cried into his chest for a good long while.
"Take
your time honey." Goten said reassuring her. Alley took a deep breath.
"You're
not going to like this…I guess it all started when my mother was pregnant with
me. She had worked with Bulma for many years and decided to quit and spend more
time with Scott, my dad and me. What she didn't know was Bulma's company was under
surveillance. An organisation wanted wealth and power but it turns out they had
a grudge against my parents. anyways, they somehow found out about my mom and
Scott and tried to threaten them."
"Really?"
"Yep.
Stubborn. That's my mom. She refused to tell them anything and so…they…killed
my dad. In broad daylight at his law firm. Mom was devastated and so was Scott.
She moved from Japan and went to live in the islands. About nine years after I
was born my mom wanted to go and visit Bulma and I wanted to come. She refused
and so I followed along anyway. I kind of wish I hadn't. It turns out it was
those guys again and they wanted me. My mother said there was no way that she
would let them take me so they killed her too. In the most brutal way possible.
They shot her through the head…and…then they cut it off just in case she came
alive again. It was horrible…I was only nine…I mean, to see her butchered
in that way really scared the crap out of me."
"Oh
my God…"
"I
totally freaked out and ran away. I lived with my grandparents but Scott
couldn't handle seeing me…because I reminded him too much of mom. He was old
enough legally to live by himself so he did. Eventually the guys found me…they
killed my grandparents…so I killed them."
"Oh
my God…"
"I
know. That's how come I was shot before. They tried to kill me more than twice.
Gohan knows because some of his friends work at the hospital. I was in a coma
for six months."
"But…why
didn't you tell me? Why didn't you come and ask for help? I could have helped
you."
"You
were hiding some secrets from me too remember? I didn't know you were a
Saiya-jin or that you could even throw a punch! Besides you were only nine."
"I…I
don't know what to say."
"Don't
speak. I just need you to understand…and be there for me." Alley said as Goten held
her in his arms.
"That
I can do." They stayed that way for hours until there was a knock on the door. They
went downstairs and opened the door to see Trunks, Bra and Pan at the door. They
hugged Alley telling her how glad they were that she was back.
"Would
you look at those two?" Trunks said indicating Alley and Goten. They had their
arms around each other.
"I
know what you mean, it was like they were never apart." Pan commented.
"I
guess that's what true love is." Bra said.
"So,
is it that way between you and Ubbu?" Trunks teased.
"How
the hell did you know? Pan! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!"
End.
Lemme tell you that when I wrote this I had no idea it would turn out the way it did. Anyhoo leave a review and stay tuned for the sequel to "What Can I Do To Make You Love Me?". Buh bye!!
