Change of Heart
Chapter 3: Happiness and Despair
It is said that to one in joy time passes quickly. That is just how time went by for
both Gohan and Hotaru. Days turned to weeks and weeks to months.
Six months after Hotaru started to live with Gohan, though times began to
change…
Hotaru awoke in a cold sweat. The darkness that always followed her felt as if it
were getting stronger. In her dreams she saw it consuming her once more. 'Why? Why
now?' she pleaded. 'I'm so happy now, here with Gohan; I don't want it to end. Please.'
She couldn't hold back anymore she broke into tears.
"Hotaru?" Gohan asked knocking softly on the door. "Are you alright? I thought I
heard crying." Gohan for fact knew he heard crying, a Saiyan's senses are far too well
tuned not too. But it wasn't just that, ever since he met her he got this strange feeling
from being around her.
Hotaru quickly wiped the tears from her face. "Yeah, I'm fine." She lied. Hotaru
really hated to lie to him; ever since she met him, he'd done nothing but care for her. Yet,
she wanted more, perhaps it was selfish of her, but she really wanted him to more than
just care for her.
"Are you sure? Well, breakfast is ready." Gohan answered back through the door.
Gohan left to go eat breakfast, but Hotaru never came to join him. At first he was
worried about her, but he got to thinking what Bulma had said.
"Girls have private problems, sometimes."
To this day Gohan had no idea what she meant by that. Gohan just let it go at
that. 'Hmm. May as well get exercise.' Gohan went outside into the forest. Ever since
Hotaru had come to leave with him, he backed off on training spending more and more of
his time with her. Just the thought of spending time with her gave him a strange, warm,
fuzzy, feeling.
Gohan re-entered the gravity room. Getting this fixed was quite an adventure in
itself. Gohan chuckled softly as that day came back to him.
FLASHBACK
It was the mourning the day after Hotaru had started to leave with Gohan. The
two had left to go see Bulma about getting the gravity room fixed.
"Hi Bulma." Gohan called as he entered the Capsule Corp. building.
"Gohan!" Bulma greeted. It was then she noticed the other 11 year old standing
shyly behind him. "And who is this?" Her tone turning motherly.
"This is my friend Hotaru." Gohan said gesturing to her.
"Hi Hotaru." Bulma greeted extending her hand. "My name's Bulma Briefs."
Hotaru shyly extended her own, "Hotaru Tomoe." The two shook hands.
Bulma then gestured the group into the kitchen, where Trunks and Vegita were
having breakfast. Or more precisely Trunks had his breakfast all over Vegita.
"Woman feed your blasted child!" Vegita growled.
"You jerk, I go and greet Gohan for two minutes and you can't even feed your
son. I don't know why I put with you."
"Blasted woman and her blasted child." Vegita muttered under his breath as he
left for the gravity room.
Bulma then turned back to Hotaru and Gohan, her attitude completely different.
"So are you two dating or something?"
Hotaru turned a light pink, while Gohan turned blood red form embarrassment.
"No. No we're not Bulma, Hotaru's just a friend." Gohan answered quickly.
"WOMAN!! Your blasted machine is broken!" Vegita yelled from the other side
of the house.
"If you didn't use it so often and spent more time with your SON it wouldn't
BE!!" Bulma yelled back her voice full of anger.
"Umm. Bulma." Gohan asked politely. "That's kinda the reason I came to see
you. Yesterday the gravity room broke, I was wondering if maybe you could fix it."
"Sure. Under one condition, go show Vegita what your made of."
Gohan only smiled. "Sure." With that he left to go 'play' with Vegita.
"Now Hotaru." Bulma said turning to look at the small girl, who was watching
Gohan as he left the room. "Let's talk girl to girl, while I'm working."
Hotaru followed Bulma to her workshop.
"Now we'll talk girl to girl." Bulma said shutting the door.
"Umm, alright." Hotaru still wasn't sure how to behave around Bulma.
Bulma noticed this, "Hey look relax, we'll just talk while those to play."
"Ok." Hotaru started to lighten up.
"So where did you kids meet?"
"Umm. Ah. I… well…"
"Its alright if you don't want tell me. So where do live?"
Now this was a question Hotaru had an answer for. "With Gohan."
Bulma paled slightly, "You two didn't…"
Hotaru promptly turned blood red. "No! Where just kinda room mates."
"Ok." Bulma said the color returning to her face, "I didn't think Gohan would
even know what to do." Bulma laughed.
Hotaru kept blushing.
"Look I'm sorry. Let's talk about something else." The two went on to have a
discussion, about other things and Hotaru explained about her clothing problem. Which
Bulma promptly solved with a shopping trip.
END FLASHBACK
Gohan went back to his training, to this day Hotaru really had no idea what this
room was for and what he really was. Gohan didn't like to lie, but how do tell someone
this room is where a half human super warrior trains in 700 times normal gravity wearing
1500lbs. Worth of weight. Gohan continued to grow stronger.
Back in her bedroom, which was actually Gohan's, Hotaru continued to cry. She
felt so scared and alone, the darkness felt like it was smothering her. 'Gotta get out!' Her
mind panicked. Hotaru jumped up and ran screaming Gohan's name as tears ran down
her face.
Gohan who heard his name being screamed, shut the gravity room down and
opened the door. He was promptly greeted by two arms wrapping around him.
"I'm so scared." Hotaru cried into his chest.
"Hush. Its alright, no one is going to hurt you, I won't let them." Gohan said
soothingly as he stroked her hair.
"Don't make promises you can't keep boy." A low evil voice growled.
Hotaru heard the voice, and turned to see her nightmare alive in front of Gohan.
She buried her head further in his chest, as his grip around tightened. "No." she
whispered.
Whew! I finally wrote chapter 3 I'm sorry it took so long. But sadly I still don't
think its very good. I really am sorry. Anyway I'd really appreciate it if you'd review,
Thanks!
