You are too young. Ch.3

Thanks for the reviews it gives me more motivation to finish my stories! No I didn't pick Goten 'cause I know little about him, I love Goten a lot. Besides I'm going to make a story when Trunks dies too so don't worry. I'm sorry for making Vegeta care that Kakarotto's spawn is sick, kind of soft. If don't start to understand this story then I'm really sorry is my first time at doing a very detailed story even if you haven't noticed. I'll stop already you're probably getting bored with all of my babbling.



Goten had been at the hospital for two days now, and Goten had heard the doctor say that he was to go home that very afternoon when his family came to visit.

"I hope you get better Goten," said James as he saw Goten with a very cheesy smile on his face. James felt kind of sad because Goten was going to leave him alone again. James was to be in the hospital for another month until he was able to leave for home to his family again. Goten saw the sad look on his friend's face.

"Don't worry James, I'll tell my daddy to come with me to visit you until you are able to go home. I promise," Goten said picking up his right arm. He kind of felt sad for James, not being able to see his family so often, to be at the weird place alone. It gave Goten the creeps. He saw how James' face slowly showed a smile.

After the Briefs went back home, Trunks stayed very distant from his mother and father. He did attend his training lessons with Vegeta, but he didn't talk to Bulma as much as he use to. Even though two days had passed since he got the news, he would lock him self in his room and only came out when it was necessary.

"I'm beginning to worry about Trunks Vegeta," Bulma said to her husband as she serve her husband an over served plate of food.

"Humph," was Vegeta's only respond.

"I don't know why do I even bother to concern you with Trunks."

"It's only obvious woman, he's hurt. Just leave the boy alone," said Vegeta as he grabbed his fork and began to eat the food in front of him. Vegeta felt bad for Kakarotto's spawn to get sick like that, he was a pretty good warrior. It was a shame that it had to end that way, even for such age. But besides that he was worried that his brat might of caught what Kakarotto's brat had.

"Woman don't you think you should take the boy to the doctor?"

"Why? Did he tell you he felt sick?" asked Bulma kind of worried, since Trunks always came to her when he felt bad.

"No just take him for a check up ok," said Vegeta giving his empty plate to Bulma for a second over sized serving.

'Well, I guess after you died last year it seems that you actually began to care for your son,' thought Bulma as she grabbed the plate and walked over to the stove. Then all of the sudden some loud electrical guitar began to play upstairs. Trunks had put on his favorite CD of now his favorite band, Likin Park. Vegeta quickly covered his sensitive Saiyajin ears. Vegeta quickly got frustrated and at top speed left the kitchen. He didn't like the way this was going; Trunks' self esteem was very quickly going down the drain.

"Brat! What the hell are you doing?!" said Vegeta as he burst into Trunks' room. He found his son lying on his bed, with his face buried on his pillow. Trunk didn't bother to look at his father, he knew was the hell of pissed. He didn't give a fuck anyways so why would he bother anymore, he was going to loose his best friend. The only boy was able to have fun with. (A/N Don't think wrong people!)

"Turn that racket off now!" Vegeta ordered, but Trunks didn't listen and didn't even bother to move one bit. 'The nerve of this brat!' Vegeta thought as he grabbed Trunks by his fighting gi and pulled him up to his face. Trunks didn't resist, and he let his father see in what kind of pain he was going through. Vegeta saw in Trunks' eyes dullness as if there was no world around him. Vegeta didn't see the fire that burned in his son's eyes before all this happened.

"Turn it off brat now," Vegeta said into Trunks' face. Vegeta slowly let his son down, and Trunks walked over to the little stereo and lowered the volume. Both, father and son, didn't say one word for what it seem forever.

"Just leave me alone," said Trunks in a voice that was unrecognizable, he kind of sound like Vegeta when he just arrived on Earth. It made Vegeta smirk. Trunks walked back to his bed and gave his back to his father; which was a big mistake. Not even Gokou gave his back to the unpredictable Saiyajin no Ouji. Vegeta quickly disappeared and reappeared in front of Trunks.

"Brat don't you ever give me your back to me got it?"

"Whatever," said Trunks as he shrugged his shoulders. 'I swear Dende must be testing my temper with the brat,' thought Vegeta as he saw Trunks walk pass him. Vegeta just let it go, and left the room. 'If keeps this up going to have a very serious talk with him.'

"Mommy!" screamed Goten as he saw his mother come into the room.

"How are you sweetheart?" asked ChiChi trying really hard not to let tears run down her eyes. She knew that if this had happened before her Gokou came back she would've eventually died alone her little boy. But now that he was here for her, she felt a bit stronger.

"Where's daddy and Gohan 'Kaasan?" asked Goten as he let his mother embrace him. He looked past his shoulder and saw no one.

"Don't worry honey. They're with the doctor they'll come in a bit. Now let's get you ready to go home k?"

"Mommy, before we go, I want you to meet my new friend James," Goten said getting off his bed and led his mother across the room.

"James, this is my 'Kaasan, 'Kaasan this is James Nonnako."

"Nice to meet you Mrs. Son," said James as he bowed his head at ChiChi.

"Nice to meet you too James," and ChiChi too bowed her head at the boy in front of her. For her, James looked very weak. She wondered if that was how her little boy was going to look in a couple of months. She quickly dismissed the thought, she didn't want to think that way right now. She had to keep this away from Goten.

"Well, come on honey let's get going," said ChiChi as she took her little boy's hand, but Goten didn't budge.

"'Kaasan, can we come and visit James, when we can?" asked Goten with puppy dog eyes. She hate it when Goten looked at her like that, she couldn't say no. Not even if she wanted to.

"Of course honey, just tell your dad to come with you ok? Now, let's get you ready before your dad and Gohan come back," said ChiChi as she lifted her son in her arms. She hugged him very tightly like she never wanted to let him go.

"I'll be back James, before I leave k!" said Goten as he waved his chubby arm at his friend.

"K Goten," said James as he saw him go.

Goten laid his head on his mother's shoulder, and wrapped his little but strong legs around her waist.

"Mommy I missed you. I never want to come here to sleep over k? I felt so alone, well that's not including James," said Goten as he closed his eyes. He never did like hospitals not even to visit someone, but this time he had to make an exception with James.

"I promise honey you're never come back to the hospital," said ChiChi in at the edge of breaking to tears. She soothingly rubbed her son's back. ChiChi felt Goten shiver at her touch. She set Goten down at his bed and quickly brushed his hair and put on him his typical orange fighting gi with his navy blue long-sleeve shirt.

"Mommy how come I had to be here for so long?" asked Goten as he put on his boots. The question took ChiChi by surprised. 'What I am going to tell him?' asked ChiChi as she turned her back to put in the bad the brush and Goten's dirty clothes.

"Because you had to squirt," said Gohan as he walked in with his father.

"Hey aren't you supposed to at school? Oh, your playing hooky!" said Goten as he pointed a chubby little finger of guilt at his brother.

"No way squirt. I came to visit you," said Gohan as he came closer to his brother as ruffled his hair.

"Hey, you're messing up my hair! Daddy tell brother to stop," whined Goten looking at his father that was just looking at the memorable moment both Goten and Gohan were making. Gohan then stopped and walked over to his mother.

"Daddy, when we get back home can we play then train a bit?" asked Goten as he jumped into Gokou's arms. Gokou welcomed his smaller son. He too hugged him tightly. "Yes, daddy please, pretty please?"

"How about you asked your mother first, then we will see," said Gokou as he looked at his son. 'He is so innocent. Please don't take him away,' thought Gokou as he again hugged Goten tightly.

"Dear, is time to go," said ChiChi as she handed the bag to Gohan.

"Otousan come with me," said Goten as he squirmed from Gokou's arms. Gokou let his son down let followed him to across room. Gokou was introduced to James and James was introduced to Gokou. They exchanged a little bit of words and then left the room, ChiChi took his son's hand as they walked out. The family left the huge hospital building and walked to their car in the parking lot.

"How come we have to take the car? Let's go flying yeah?" asked Goten as he looked at up at his mother.

"I'm sorry honey we can't."

"Why not?" asked Goten as his lowered lip quivered. Gokou looked at ChiChi, ChiChi looked at Gohan, and Gohan looked at both of his parents back. They didn't say anything.

"Mommy what's wrong why can't we go flying?" Goten now wanted for then ever to know why wouldn't they go flying.

"Because your mother doesn't feel so good son. Maybe next time ok. I promise," said Gokou as he put a hand on his son's head.

"What's wrong with 'Kaasan?"

"Her head hurts squirt," said Gohan as he gave the car keys to his father. (Yes Gokou knows how to drive!)

"Will you be ok mommy?" asked Goten as he gave his mother an I'm sorry look.

"Yes dear I'll be ok," said ChiChi as she smiled at her son. She wondered for how long would they be able to hide what was wrong with Goten. She knew he eventually going to find out as time past.

FLASHBACK.

"In less than a month he's going to get very weak. So weak that he's barely going to play as much as a normal 8 year old does," said the doctor to ChiChi, Gokou, and Gohan. ChiChi didn't want to cry anymore, besides she couldn't she had cried so much over the two days that she thought there weren't any tears left. Both of her husband and older son looked pale as though they had just seen another Buu monster.

"Doctor are sure about this? Maybe somebody made a mistake," said Gokou for the third time. He was pretty convinced that they just made a mistake with his son, and that he was just fine. He just didn't want to believe.

"I'm sorry Mr. Son, we double checked and it gave the same result," said the doctor as he fixed his glasses. Doctor knew Goten since was born, he felt sorry for the family before him, to lose someone so young and so easy to love like Goten.

"Thank a lot Doctor," said ChiChi as she got up, shook the doctor's hand, and left her son and husband in the doctor's office. She wanted to be with her son now; she didn't wanted to hear anymore about this.

END OF FLASHBACK.

ChiChi gave Gohan Goten's hand. Gohan help Goten into the car, but Goten refused. He decided to float into the air and help him self into the car.

"Goten don't be so rude to your brother," said ChiChi calmly, which weird out Goten. Usually she would yell at him for being so rude, but now she just said as if she didn't mean it.

"I'm sorry big brother, I won't do it again," said Goten as he settled down in the back seat. 'Why are they acting so weird now?'

"It's ok Goten you didn't mean it."

They drove silently home, but as they drove home Goten saw his mother cry for a bit. He didn't want to ask if she was ok because maybe it was just because her head just hurted a lot. He dismissed the thought, and he looked out the window. Goten saw how they passed by many trees, and animals. He loved to see nature at her best. Goten looked over at his brother, who too was had a long face.

"Gohan are you ok?" asked Goten as he tugged on Gohan's white shirt.

"What do you mean squirt? I'm ok," said his brother as he tried to force a smile to show that he was doing just fine, but of course Gohan couldn't fool Goten.

"No brother your lying. Is it because your worried about Videl?"

"Yeah, I'm worried about Videl squirt. She got mad at me today because I forgot to tell her something important," lied Gohan. Goten didn't asked more question, he kind of felt like falling asleep he was very tired. He slowly leaned against Gohan's arm and fell asleep. Gohan just let his little brother get comfortable and stroke his messy hair. Gohan relieved that he fell asleep, he let his tears fall freely now. He didn't have to hide it now, he cried silently in the back not wanting for his parents to hear him. These next four months were going to be the hardest part of his life yet.

THE NEXT DAY.

"Hey Trunks! Can you come over and play with me, no to spar with me?" asked Goten over the phone.

"Goten I can't. I'm kind of busy," lied Trunks from the other line.

"Oh, I see. You're too chicken to fight me now," said Goten as he made a smirk that would rival Vegeta's.

"I'm not a chicken Goten!"

"Trunks is a chicken, Trunks is a big chicken!"

~@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Next time on "You are too young" :

Will Trunks accept Goten's challenge? Or would he just let his best friend call him a chicken even though he doesn't know his getting weaker?

And why does Goten hear his mother crying at night? Goten then finds out about his disease.
