Innocence Gone Ch:2
Piccolo let down right outside Mater Roshi's house, Piccolo looked around the small island. No one was around. Piccolo sat Gohan down, gently closing the little boy's eyes. Suddenly Piccolo felt a familiar Kai approaching from the west. Piccolo looked up, absently wiping his stinging eyes.
Goku landed a few feet in front of Piccolo. "Piccolo, what happened?! I felt Gohan's Kai…and it disappeared! Where is my son?!"
Piccolo pointed to the right of the Small Island. Gohan's body lay still, his little hands curled on his chest. "Gohan!!!" Goku's scream echoed around them, as Goku ran past Piccolo, picking up his son. "Gohan? Please wake up…" Goku's voice trailed off. Goku began patting Gohan's face. Goku jerked his hand back, Gohan's skin was cold to the touch. Tears ran down Goku's cheeks, he finally realized what was wrong.
Goku cradled Gohan's body, rocking it back and forth. After a while, Goku walked inside the house, laying Gohan down on the couch. Goku bent over burying his face against Gohan's chest, he really began sobbing. "My…son…my little boy." Goku whispered over and over.
Piccolo stood beside Goku, laying his hand on the grieving Father's shoulder. But Goku threw the Nemeck's hand off, turning his eyes to stare up at Piccolo. "YOU!" Goku pointed a finger in Piccolo's face, as Piccolo staggered back. "I told you to keep him from going to fight them until I got back! NOW HE"S DEAD!" Piccolo's mouth hung open. "Goku he teleaported away! When I found him the Android had him!"
Goku fiercely wiped his red eyes. "My son is DEAD!" Goku picked his son back up. "I'm taking him home." Piccolo spoke. "I'm sorry, Goku…" "Whatever." Goku and Gohan disappeared in a flash.
Goku reappeared in his own home. "Good Chi Chi's not here." "Gohan!!" Goku winced when he heard his wife. Chi Chi dropped the plate running to Goku, she bent down scooping Gohan in her arms, hugging him. Chi Chi noticed he didn't respond. "Gohan?" Chi Chi looked up at her husband. "Goku what's wrong?! Why is he so cold?!" More tears ran down the saiyan's cheeks. Chi Chi gasped, looking back down at her son. "Gohan! Wake up!" It then hit her what was wrong.
"GOHAN!!" Gohan's mother screamed, she began shaking him. "Wake up!!" After a while she still got no response. "NOOOOO!" Chi Chi wailed, she clutched her baby boy to her chest, burying her face in Gohan's soft black hair. "My Little Boy…"
Goku patted Chi Chi's shoulder. "I'm so sorry, honey." Suddenly Chi Chi glared hatefully up at Goku. "You, it's all your fault!!" Chi Chi screeched. "What?!" Goku stared at his wife. "It's your fault he's dead! I told you I didn't want him fighting! I said one day he'd loose or get hurt!!!!!" Chi Chi's body went limp, sliding down on the floor next to Gohan. "Now he'll never be a scholar, he'll never see his future...You BASTARD!!"
Chi Chi balled her fists in the air. "I want my GOHAN!!" She fell forward, her head lading on Gohan's chest, sobbing. Goku's tears became more prominate, dripping down his cheeks, down his chin. "Honey…I didn't mean for…" Chi Chi jumped up, smacking Goku's face. "You got him killed, always telling to train, and not to study. If he'd studied more and trained less he'd be ALIVE!!" Goku sat down next to them. "Chi Chi if he'd never trained then we'd all be dead anyway." "I don't care!" Came the reply.
