This is an extremely long chapter but it explains mostly what Gohan has
been through. This is the torture chapter! Hope you all enjoy it!
When you see this:
****Flash****
It means that it is skipping through some parts of Gohan's life. Example:
Radditz kidnapped Gohan.
****Flash****
Gohan was flying to Namck.
That's the best way I can explain it. I have no better way to say it so if you don't understand, just pretend you do. Or do what I do, smile and nod.

---A gulp of fresh air didn't last long enough for water subsided the oxygen needed. He couldn't breathe and his ribs were tightly squeezing his lungs. He looked up and didn't see the demon looking over him. He swam up to the surface, this time getting the needed air.
He arms plopped on the rocky surface and his breaths were deep and heavy. His world around him began to spin around him and he was very tired. His eyes were getting heavy and his body was totally numb. There was no strength left in his body. He might as well give up and be the failure he is.
" Nice warm up," Dabura laughed. " So when does the real battle begin."
Gohan looked up at Dabura and tried his best to get up. His body wouldn't budge. The more he moved the more pain struck in his body.
" I'm.just a.a failure," Gohan whispered to himself.
" I see you are," Dabura said putting his palm in front of Gohan's face. " Allow me to rend you of your pain. On second thought, I think I'll just make you suffer."
Forming a ki blast in his palm, Gohan knew this would be the end. Maybe Dabura was doing him a favor of rending of his pain. He was in two types of pain and only one he knew how to get rid of. The pain his body was feeling now, and the pain his classmates had caused him since he started school. A senzu bean can easily get rid of the pain he was feeling now, but nothing can bring up his self-esteem.
Dabura gave his evil laugh once more and Gohan tried his best to prepare for the attack. He winced in pain as he tried once again to move. He was too weak to use super saiyan and if he tried, he knew it would just be a waist of energy. Gohan blinked away the sleep his body and eyes cried for. A golden blur passed by him and it seemed that it knocked Dabura away from him.
Giving in and trusting his savior, Gohan laid his head on his arms and shut his eyes to rest.
" Gohan!"
************************************************************************
" Gohan, get your but out of bed or else you'll be late for your first day of school," Chi-Chi yelled.
Gohan put his pillow over his head. He didn't want to go to school. Home school wasn't that bad and he already knew more than a teenager should. Why should he go to high school? His mother told him to meet people his own age instead of hanging around his father's friends. They were his friends too.
Taking the pillow off of his head, Gohan took a good whiff of breakfast. Grinning, Gohan jumped out of bed and pulled out his school clothes. He quickly got changed, fixed his hair, and quickly jumped in his seat for breakfast. Food was placed in front of him and his brother, Goten, and they stuff food in their mouths like every saiyan did.
" You look quite handsome in your new school clothes," Chi-Chi said putting eggs in her chopsticks.
" Muncs vom weoer vevr fomforafole," Gohan said stuffing food in his mouth.
(Translation: Thanks mom, they're very comfortable.)
Chi-Chi only rolled her eyes and smiled at her eldest son antics. Looking at the time, Gohan quickly shoved the rest of his food in his mouth. Swallowing in one gulp, with the help of water, Gohan headed out the door.
" NIMBUS," Gohan hollered.
The fluffy yellow cloud appeared in front of Gohan. Gohan smiled and was about to jump on, until his mother stopped him.
" Don't forget your lunch sweetie," Chi-Chi said handing Gohan a nicely bagged lunch bag.
" Thanks Mom," Gohan said grabbing his lunch.
" Can I go to school with you," Goten said coming out from behind his mother.
" You're too young Goten," Gohan said ruffling up Goten's hair. " You stay here and keep Mom company. I'll be back and we can play when I get home."
" Okay," Goten cried.
Gohan hopped on Nimbus and took off in the air.
" Have a good day," Chi-Chi yelled as Gohan made his way to high school.
****Flash****
" Excuse me sir," said a young woman with her hair pulled back in two ponytails. " Can you tell me what happened here?"
" Ah.well.eheheheh," Gohan replied. " I-I-I just got here and well, ah, I don't know what happened."
What was he supposed to say, I am the one who single handedly defeated those robbers while I was a super saiyan? Oh yeah, that's believable. While the girl got distracted, Gohan made his breakthrough and knew that he was way late for school.
****Flash****
Gohan sat down in his seat bored out of his mind. He barely made it to school and now, he was learning stuff when he was seven. The people near him were a girl named Erasea, Sharpner, and the girl he met earlier named Videl who was the daughter of Hercule. They chatted with each other quietly and said nothing to Gohan. He didn't know if he should but in or not.
Starring out the window, Gohan began to daydream. He wanted to be outside with the fresh air and not cramped up in some building. Heck, training with Vegeta was better than being in school. Oh no wait, school was better than training with Vegeta. No, maybe school was worse than Vegeta. No, he's only been in school for twenty minutes. A bird perched out near the window and seemed pretty happy being outside.
' Don't rub it in,' Gohan thought watching the bird as if it was laughing at Gohan.
" Mr. Gohan, are you going to daydream about nature or are you going to pay attention in class," Mr. German said slapping a ruler on the desk.
Gohan got out of his daydream and saw an angry teacher looking at him.
" Sorry sir," Gohan apologized. A few snickers were heard and Gohan blushed a bit.
" Dork," he heard Sharpner say.
Gohan ignored his comment and paid attention to the teacher.
****Flash****
Looking at the map the office gave him, Gohan looked for the cafeteria. He flipped the map a couple of times to make sure he was reading it right.
" You hold it this way stupid," Videl said turning it the right way for Gohan. " For a genius you're pretty stupid. What was your name again?"
Ignoring the comment, Gohan gave his name.
" My name is Gohan and can you help me find the cafeteria? I can't find it here."
" Search yourself, I'm not your maid," Videl said walking away from Gohan.
' Why is everyone being so mean to me,' Gohan thought. ' I guess they're trying to break me in or something, trying to find my limits. They could at least be a bit more nicer and not more like Vegeta.'
****Flash****
Gohan sat on the roof eating his lunch by himself. He gave up looking for the cafeteria and decided to eat on the roof. Usually when he ate his lunch, he would have someone like his mom to talk to. He found himself not being so hungry and saved the rest for later. It would be nice to have people to talk to, people like friends.
****Flash****
" So if twenty-three really equals one, then what would fifty two equal if twelve was eighteen? Mr. Gohan, why don't you answer that," Mr. Sosia said. He looked up at Gohan who was totally out.
He walked up to the sleeping Gohan and tapped his foot impatiently. Erasea had a good idea and stomped her foot on Gohan's.
" YEOW! Those high heels really hurt," Gohan yelled rubbing his foot.
The class went into a hysterical laughing gaggle of geese and Gohan was red from embarrassment once more. Not embarrassment, more like humiliation. Gohan realized that the teacher was right above him and was not pleased.
" Mr. Gohan, I know that you are new around here but I thought people your age could have some manners and not fall asleep in my class," Mrs. Cher said. " Go wait outside till class is over. You will get your assignment then and I hope you will learn a lesson from this."
" Yeah, don't drool on the tables," Sharpner commented pointing at a tiny puddle of drool.
The class once again exploded into laughter. Gohan made his way outside the class and waited till it was over.
' I rather be with Vegeta then be here,' Gohan thought leaning his head on the wall. ' The only embarrassment I would have to suffer is from losing against him.'
****Flash****
School finally ended and Gohan was more than relieved. Now he knew why most people dreaded school and couldn't blame them for dropping out. Everybody had someone to talk to at the end of the day and made plans after school. Videl was talking to Erasea, Sharpner was talking to some girl in their history class, and Gohan was putting his books in his little sac.
Gohan walked up the stairs to the roof and noticed that Videl was behind him. He didn't care. He didn't stop to say hello, he didn't run faster to get away from her, he just walked his normal pace.
" Hey Mountain Boy," Videl cried catching up to Gohan. " Going on the roof to climb in your nest full of dodo's?"
" Dodo's no longer exist," Gohan replied.
" I dunno, I see one right now," Videl said looking at Gohan. " Why are you going to the roof anyway?"
" To get fresh air," Gohan said making it to the top. ' Or maybe to fly away from this hellhole.'
" Please," Videl said rolling her eyes. " We all know you live in the alleyways."
" I do not," Gohan said almost in a shout. " So I live in the Mountain Area, big deal."
" You do not. It's five hours away from this place and there is no way you could make it here. Besides, I think I saw those clothes at good will."
Gohan didn't fight this time. He watched Videl leave in her bug jet before heading out himself.
****Flash****
Gohan landed in front of his house and was tackled by a speedy demi-saiyan. Being caught off guard, Goten knocked Gohan to the ground and talked about his day.
" So Trunks said that I was weaker than he was and I'm like liar and he said well prove it and I said fine and we started to fight in the gravity room which made Vegeta mad and he came in the room and beat me and Trunks up but then Bulma came in and yelled at Vegeta and me and Trunks laughed which made Vegeta really mad and he went super saiyan but Bulma said couch and Vegeta calmed down but he beat us up later in the day and Bulma....."
Getting up and putting Goten aside, Gohan managed to get up from the ground and was greeted by his mother. Goten still blabbed on about his day and Chi- Chi just smiled.
" So how was your first day of school," Chi-Chi asked. " Did you meet any friends?"
' School was awful, I hate it, and I have no friends! I don't want to go back! I rather be home schooled for the rest of my life!'
" It was okay," Gohan replied ignoring the truth in his head. " I haven't met anybody yet but it wasn't that bad."
Gohan put on a fake smile to satisfy his mother. She bought it and headed in towards the house. Gohan followed and Goten continued with his story.
" So Bulma came in and saw Vegeta beating us up and she yelled at him and me and Trunks ran away into his room where we hid under his bed from his dad and..."
****Flash****
Gohan's alarm went off. He didn't want to get up, he didn't want to move, even the fresh smell of bacon didn't phase this demi-saiyan. He has been in school for about two weeks and he hated it. He had no one to talk to, he ate lunch by himself, and now he was labeled " Loser of the Year." They even made him award out of confetti.
" Gohan, for the last time it's time for school," Chi-Chi hollered. " You're going to be late again."
" I don't feel good," Gohan said flipping his covers over his head.
" Does your stomach still hurt," Chi-Chi said entering Gohan's room. " I know you didn't eat much dinner last night but at least you should have something this morning. You should have some toast and you'll be fine."
" I'm not hungry," Gohan mumbled under his covers.
" You're not heaving, you don't have diarrhea, and you have no fever. You're perfectly fine to go to school today. Now hurry up before you're late."
Chi-Chi walked over to Gohan's bed and pulled the covers off of him, leaving him in his boxers and white tank top. Oh yeah, this would be a good day.
****Flash****
" Okay class, today we are going to play soccer and I need two people to be captains," Coach Ryan said to his class. " Videl and Sharpner, you will be the captains and Videl will go first."
Videl and Sharpner walked up to Coach Ryan and took a side.
" I'll take Faith," Videl said.
" Erasea, you're mine," Sharpner said.
" Moth."
" Owen."
" Vickie."
" Patricia."
" Brandon."
" Chad."
Names were called one by one and once again, Gohan was last pick.
" I don't want him," Videl said turning to Sharpner. " He's yours. An extra player might help you lose more."
" I ain't taking him," Sharpner said pointing to Videl. " It's your turn to pick and he's the last one. So as the rules say, he's yours."
" I don't need an extra player one the team. I already have the best!"
" No way, I have Patricia on my team. She's already the best!"
" No one is better than Faith. She can at least stop the goals and pass Mr. Char class."
Gohan watched Videl and Sharpner argue back and forth about who gets him on their team.
" Never mind I just won't play," Gohan said walking back to the bleachers.
" Gohan, you have to play or else you fail," Coach Ryan said.
" Then I'll fail," Gohan replied.
" Well that handles that problem," Videl said. " Lets play!"
****Flash****
Finally, the end of the day and Thanksgiving was only two days away. Gohan and his family were going to have Thanksgiving at the Briefs along with Krillin's family, Master Roshi, Yamcha, Puar, Oolong, and Piccolo said he would stop by and visit. Bulma and Chi-Chi would cook for hours while everyone else relaxed or trained. Gohan would usually spend time talking to Krillin or training with Vegeta. Afterwards, they would give thanks and eat. But the best part was the home made pies.
But turkey and pies didn't strike Gohan's fancy. He didn't want turkey or the pies and training was just something he did for fun. Well, he hasn't trained since who knows how long and fun was something known as a past time event. Food wasn't much of a big concern to him anymore. His mother noticed his eating habits and became very concerned. He would have a normal meal like his mother everyday, maybe even less. When she asked him if he was all right and if something was wrong, he would just reply: ' It's just a phase. I'll get over it.' But he was never over it.
Fumbling around with his combination, Gohan couldn't open his lock. He spun it a couple of times and pin pointed each number in its exact spot. For some reason or another, it didn't budge. He couldn't break another lock or else he would be suspended for destruction of property, and he already broken five of his locks.
" Problems Mountain Boy," Sharpner said leaning on the locker next to him. " Are you sure you're using the right combination or are you using your locker and not someone else's?"
Another thing in Gohan that also changed not to long ago. He wouldn't talk anymore and sometimes it just seemed pointless. He knew better than to reply to anybody or anything.
" Poor Gohan. Little boy lost his voice and doesn't know where to find it. Open your mouth stupid."
One thing Gohan did learn was how to control his anger. He wanted to blow Sharpner up into little pieces and make sure he died a slow, painful death. Stupid lock.
" You're never going to open it," Sharpner said grinning from ear to ear. " Super glue does wonders for you and is next to impossible to get your lock open. You could destroy it but, won't you get suspended and miss school. Oh well, at least it will be peaceful when you're gone."
Gohan broke his lock. It was the only way to open it and maybe missing a few days of school might bring back some of his sanity. Opening up his locker he noticed some strange smell coming from it. Gohan opened it all the way and noticed that it had moldy cheese and a decaying frog that someone dissected from science class. The smell grew stronger.
People passed by his locker and noticed how bad it really smelled and Gohan still had books in there. Feeling sick to his stomach, Gohan shut his locker. The smell filled the hallways and people noticed that it was from Gohan's locker. The principle came down the hallway and noticed the smell himself. Knowing where it was coming from, he stepped up to Gohan and told him to go to the office.
****Flash****
" This is great Gohan, just great," Chi-Chi yelled pacing in Gohan's room. " The last thing I expected was getting a call from you teachers AND your principle! What is going on Gohan? Why are you not eating, not speaking, and why do you leave the house in the middle of the night? Tell me Gohan!"
Gohan looked down at the ground and didn't reply. He would get into less trouble if he did.
" Gohan, your grades are dropping like dead flies," Chi-Chi said in her concern voice. " I want to know what's wrong so I can help you. Why won't you tell me? Do you need to talk to Piccolo or somebody else? Please Gohan, you're really making me worried."
"....."
" Gohan please!"
"...."
****Flash****
Thanksgiving came and for once, Gohan slept in. Chi-Chi knew not to disturb him because indeed he needed the rest. He hasn't been sleeping lately and the sleep he got was never enough. He would usually get up in the middle of the night and go for walks to who knows where. He needed the sleep, so she let him rest, that is, until Goten came in.
" Gohan," little Goten cried as he jumped on his back. " Guess what today is?"
" The day Gohan gets to sleep in," Chi-Chi said pulling Goten by the collar. " You leave Gohan alone and let him sleep in for once. You eat your breakfast before it gets cold."
" Aw Mom."
" Don't ' aw Mom' me mister. Out now!"
Goten pouted and left the room. Chi-Chi looked over at Gohan who was getting out of bed. He was already awaken by his little brother so why go back to sleep.
" Gohan, go back to sleep," Chi-Chi said walking towards Gohan. " You need your sleep. Go back to bed and I'll wake you up before we go to Bulma's."
" I'm up anyway," Gohan replied. ' I've been up since three in the morning!'
" Okay sweetie," Chi-Chi said heading out of his room. " I'll let you change. Do you want breakfast this morning?"
"..."
Those usually meant no and Chi-Chi knew better than to ask twice. She gave a worry glance at Gohan, and shut her door on the way out.
****Flash****
" I'll take a breast," Master Roshi said as they passed the turkey around.
" And I'll take a thigh," Oolong said grabbing some turkey.
" Just give me the damn turkey," Vegeta said with a fork and knife at hand.
" You take what I give you," Bulma said putting down some stuffing.
Chi-Chi looked over at the empty seat next to her. Gohan passed on the turkey and went for a walk instead. She never knew where Gohan usually walked to, or if he even walked at all.
" Don't worry Chi-Chi," Krillin said. " I'm sure Gohan will be fine. Maybe he went to visit Piccolo or something like that. I'm sure he'll return for the pie."
" Kami knows that Gohan loves his pie," Bulma said placing down more stuffing. " He eats more pumpkin pie than he does turkey."
" That's because Mommy makes the best pie in the world," Goten said putting stuffing on his plate.
" While my mom burns them," Trunks commented getting a snicker from Vegeta.
" You don't have to have pie," Bulma said still putting down stuffing. " Both of you."
Gohan entered the room back from his walk. Chi-Chi smiled at him as he sat down next to her.
" We have plenty of food to eat," Chi-Chi said. " Just eat something and make me happy."
"....Mm...."
Chi-Chi smiled a bit and passed the turkey to Gohan. He grabbed some and put it on his plate.
" Who wants to say grace," Puar said with her napkin around her neck.
" Meat is good so is the pie. Eat my food and you will die," Vegeta said. Everybody eyed him. " Grace."
" Good enough for me," Trunks said taking a huge bite out of his turkey.
****Flash****
For once, Gohan ate all of his food. He hasn't talked to anybody but everyone was talking to him. He mostly stared at the table and had his head resting on his hand.
" So how is school Gohan," Eighteen asked getting Gohan into conversation. " Meet any new friends?"
If Gohan could laugh, he would. His " friends" were more like his enemies. School wasn't one of the things he would talk about. He hated it. In fact, he hated almost everything in life. He didn't care any more.
" Well, he better get his act together for one," Chi-Chi said picking up some of the dishes. " I don't like getting phone calls from his teachers saying that he is close to failing. And speaking of school, I got your report card today."
" Gohan's gonna get in trouble," Goten sang.
" Not as much trouble as you're going to be in," Chi-Chi said scolding her youngest son.
" What are his grades," Krillin asked.
" Lower than a B," Chi-Chi simply answered. " He's failing Gym."
" How in the world are you failing Gym," Master Roshi asked. " Do you know how to pitch a baseball?"
" That's what you get for not training," Vegeta scolded. " If your failing Gym class than you know either he's cutting class or he's too stupid to know what it is."
" Vegeta," Bulma yelled. " Mind your manners. It's a holiday and for once can we act normal?"
" What does normal mean," Goten asked sticking chopsticks in his mouth pretending to be a walrus.
" Well I'm going to train," Vegeta said getting up from his seat. " Tell me when we're having pie."
" I going for a walk," Gohan said getting out of his chair.
" I'll come with ya," Krillin said.
" Don't bother," Gohan said putting on his jacket. " I'm just heading home."
" No pie," Chi-Chi said in shock.
"......"
****Flash****
" Kid, what are you doing to yourself," Piccolo said walking next to his old pupil. " I can't believe how much you've changed over the past few months. I will ask you again, what is going on?"
Gohan kept on walking ignoring his old mentor. He would just laugh, just like everybody else. Even if he tried to be serious they would laugh. He got enough of that from school.
" Gohan, are you even listening?"
" ....."
Gohan kept on walking.
****Flash****
" So I had a bad stomach ache after Thanksgiving but I still went to the mall to do some shopping," Erasea said. " All in all I was happy that my mom didn't set the house on fire again."
" Very good Erasea," Mr. Char said. " How about you Miss Videl?"
" It was just me, my father, my grandparents, and relatives from all over," Videl began to say. " It was nice and afterwards we all had smores. We didn't do much during the weekend expect do some early Christmas shopping and spar for the WMAT in a couple of months."
" Good luck to you and your father," Mr. Char said. " Mr. Gohan, how was your Thanksgiving?"
" This ought to be a good snore," Sharpner said leaning back on his chair. " And I forgot my blanket too."
" I could have brought my pillow," Videl said yawning. " Nobody wants to hear how he had rat for Thanksgiving."
People snickered and some burst into laughter. Gohan was used to it.
" Class settle down now," Mr. Char said. " I'm sure you don't want to read a two hundred page book and write a report due tomorrow do you?"
" How to Cross Dress by Gohan Son," Sharpner said.
The class once again went into a hysterical laughter and couldn't hear the teacher yelling, or was he laughing? Whatever the teacher was doing, he was soon cut off from the sound of the bell.
****Flash****
Gohan laid on his bed starring up at the ceiling. He was bored but he didn't care. His mother took Goten over to Trunks to play and he was left alone in the house. The phone rang and Gohan got up to answer it.
" Hello," he said at his normal, depressed voice.
" Is this Gohan," said the person on the other end.
" Yeah why," Gohan said not sure who it was on the other line.
" Your order of books came in today," said the person on the other end. " You'll need to pick them up at 82 Liquor Drive right now."
" I didn't order any books," Gohan said. " Who is this?"
There was silence on the other end, then the voice spoke once again.
" You don't remember me? Why, it's Cell!"
Gohan's faced paled. It couldn't be Cell he was dead. But it sounded like Cell and that gave Gohan enough prove.
" I'll be right over there to kill you again," Gohan said. He hung up the phone and he could of sworn that he heard some laughter before he hung up.
****Flash****
Gohan walked over to 82 Liquor Drive. It was an empty park that used to be a playground a long time ago. Something dong on Gohan as soon as he made it there. Cell didn't know how to use the phone and he definitely didn't know addresses of Satan City.
It was a prank call and he easily fell for it.
Why was he so stupid? He knew it couldn't have been Cell but he fell for it anyway. Why was he so stupid, why, why, why?
" I can't believe you fell for it," Sharpner said coming from behind a tree. " That was Erasea's idea even. No one falls for her ideas unless they are completely stupid. Well if the shoes fits."
Gohan tried to make his way out of the park, but more and more people came from behind the trees and bushes. He was surrounded, and flying was not an option at this point. If he flew then he would be in more trouble than he was already was.
" You got here a little too quickly didn't you Gohan," Videl said walking up from behind Gohan. " I saw you coming from the alley way over there and I noticed a pay phone near it too. Is that where you live, or is that where you stay until you can get enough money to live in a box?"
More and more people began to surround him and enclose him in a circle. His shoes began to become wet from the snow and Gohan had no place to hide. He was trapped and there was no escape.
" Now," Sharpner yelled.
Before Gohan could react, water balloons were being thrown at him along with some snowballs. He couldn't dodge them and he was getting cold and soaked. Everyone was laughing at him and Gohan couldn't take it anymore. He made his way through two kids and ran out of the park. There he flew up to the sky, shivering and blue from the cold.
****Flash****
He never talked about it, never mentioned it, and he lied about it. It was all he could do after Vegeta and Trunks laughed at him. Water balloons on a cold night, that was just funny if you were stupid. But the next morning, Gohan got sick but his mother didn't approve.
" That's what you get for playing late in the night," Chi-Chi said taking Gohan's temperature. " You catch a cold and get sick. Look, you even have a fever! I hope you learned your lesson on this Gohan."
Yeah he learned his lesson; never answer the phone.
****Flash****
Darkness. He was walking in the darkness and he didn't know why. He wasn't outside because it was warm out in March and it wasn't warm where he was. Gohan stopped walking and looked around. Where was he?
" I can't believe you get pushed around like that," Chi-Chi said appearing in front of Gohan. " I thought I raised you with more sense than that. Look at you, you're a total disgrace."
Gohan didn't speak.
" I can't believe I have to live with a selfish lazy brother," Goten said taking place of Chi-Chi.
Gohan didn't speak again.
" I thought I told you not to be bossed around with," Piccolo said taking place of Goten expect with his back turned. " Apparently you are too weak to do anything about it. You really disappointed me Gohan."
" But Piccolo," Gohan cried. But Piccolo soon disappeared and a new form took it's place.
" Poor excuse for a sayian," Vegeta said. " You're just a low class Baka who doesn't know what to do. You're just like your father, weak and an ignoramus*."
Speaking of his father, he appeared in place of Vegeta.
" Son," he said as anger showed in his face. " I trusted you to take care of you and my family. You can't even take care of yourself so how do I know if your taking care of everyone else. You're no son to me Gohan. You're just a piece of paper being blown in the wind, unwanted and just a piece of trash."
Gohan stared at his father in disbelief. This wasn't his father, it couldn't be, could it?
" Loser."
" Mountain Boy."
" Mama's Boy."
" You low class Baka."
" Stupid."
" A disappointment to our family."
" Just a piece of unwanted trash."
" Please stop," Gohan shouted as he fell to his knees and placed his hands over his ears. " Just leave me alone!"
" Baka."
" A disgrace."
" Hahahahahahahahaha!"
" You're just a failure!"
" Just a failure.."
" Just a failure."
" A Failure!"
****
Gohan shot up instantly. Cold sweat was all over his body and his breathing was fast and harsh. What the hell happened?
" Are you okay?"
Gohan turned around and saw his father kneeling beside him. Gohan also noticed that he was sitting up and went through a hell of a nightmare.
" It's okay Gohan relax," Goku said putting his hand on Gohan's shoulder. " I just gave you a senzu bean that's all."
Gohan didn't respond. He was in too much of a shock. He was trembling from head to toe. His body was soaking wet and the demon Dabura was gone. All he saw was a pink thing that looked like bubble gum fighting Vegeta.
" That's Majin Buu," Goku said getting up from the ground. " It killed Dabura not too long ago so I had Vegeta distract it so I could give you a senzu bean. Are you alright Gohan?"
Gohan didn't respond once again. If that thing killed Dabura the he knew that it could also kill him. Even though he was still trembling, he managed to get up.
" Gohan, what's the matter," Goku said placing his hand on Gohan's shoulder once more.
" You're just a failure!"
Gohan shook his head.
" I am," he replied.
" You are what?"
" I'm just a failure."
Very long chappie! Very proud of my work. It was hard finding ways to torture Gohan and yet keep his insanity at the same time. Thanks for all the reviews and I hope to get more.
So please review and make me happy. If you make me happy, then I'll make Gohan happy. * Snickers* I will help him along the way. * Giggles* I dunno what I will do next but it will definitely be good.
So review and I'll put up a new chapter.
Many thanks to all!

He arms plopped on the rocky surface and his breaths were deep and heavy. His world around him began to spin around him and he was very tired. His eyes were getting heavy and his body was totally numb. There was no strength left in his body. He might as well give up and be the failure he is.
" Nice warm up," Dabura laughed. " So when does the real battle begin."
Gohan looked up at Dabura and tried his best to get up. His body wouldn't budge. The more he moved the more pain struck in his body.
" I'm.just a.a failure," Gohan whispered to himself.
" I see you are," Dabura said putting his palm in front of Gohan's face. " Allow me to rend you of your pain. On second thought, I think I'll just make you suffer."
Forming a ki blast in his palm, Gohan knew this would be the end. Maybe Dabura was doing him a favor of rending of his pain. He was in two types of pain and only one he knew how to get rid of. The pain his body was feeling now, and the pain his classmates had caused him since he started school. A senzu bean can easily get rid of the pain he was feeling now, but nothing can bring up his self-esteem.
Dabura gave his evil laugh once more and Gohan tried his best to prepare for the attack. He winced in pain as he tried once again to move. He was too weak to use super saiyan and if he tried, he knew it would just be a waist of energy. Gohan blinked away the sleep his body and eyes cried for. A golden blur passed by him and it seemed that it knocked Dabura away from him.
Giving in and trusting his savior, Gohan laid his head on his arms and shut his eyes to rest.
" Gohan!"
************************************************************************
" Gohan, get your but out of bed or else you'll be late for your first day of school," Chi-Chi yelled.
Gohan put his pillow over his head. He didn't want to go to school. Home school wasn't that bad and he already knew more than a teenager should. Why should he go to high school? His mother told him to meet people his own age instead of hanging around his father's friends. They were his friends too.
Taking the pillow off of his head, Gohan took a good whiff of breakfast. Grinning, Gohan jumped out of bed and pulled out his school clothes. He quickly got changed, fixed his hair, and quickly jumped in his seat for breakfast. Food was placed in front of him and his brother, Goten, and they stuff food in their mouths like every saiyan did.
" You look quite handsome in your new school clothes," Chi-Chi said putting eggs in her chopsticks.
" Muncs vom weoer vevr fomforafole," Gohan said stuffing food in his mouth.
(Translation: Thanks mom, they're very comfortable.)
Chi-Chi only rolled her eyes and smiled at her eldest son antics. Looking at the time, Gohan quickly shoved the rest of his food in his mouth. Swallowing in one gulp, with the help of water, Gohan headed out the door.
" NIMBUS," Gohan hollered.
The fluffy yellow cloud appeared in front of Gohan. Gohan smiled and was about to jump on, until his mother stopped him.
" Don't forget your lunch sweetie," Chi-Chi said handing Gohan a nicely bagged lunch bag.
" Thanks Mom," Gohan said grabbing his lunch.
" Can I go to school with you," Goten said coming out from behind his mother.
" You're too young Goten," Gohan said ruffling up Goten's hair. " You stay here and keep Mom company. I'll be back and we can play when I get home."
" Okay," Goten cried.
Gohan hopped on Nimbus and took off in the air.
" Have a good day," Chi-Chi yelled as Gohan made his way to high school.
****Flash****
" Excuse me sir," said a young woman with her hair pulled back in two ponytails. " Can you tell me what happened here?"
" Ah.well.eheheheh," Gohan replied. " I-I-I just got here and well, ah, I don't know what happened."
What was he supposed to say, I am the one who single handedly defeated those robbers while I was a super saiyan? Oh yeah, that's believable. While the girl got distracted, Gohan made his breakthrough and knew that he was way late for school.
****Flash****
Gohan sat down in his seat bored out of his mind. He barely made it to school and now, he was learning stuff when he was seven. The people near him were a girl named Erasea, Sharpner, and the girl he met earlier named Videl who was the daughter of Hercule. They chatted with each other quietly and said nothing to Gohan. He didn't know if he should but in or not.
Starring out the window, Gohan began to daydream. He wanted to be outside with the fresh air and not cramped up in some building. Heck, training with Vegeta was better than being in school. Oh no wait, school was better than training with Vegeta. No, maybe school was worse than Vegeta. No, he's only been in school for twenty minutes. A bird perched out near the window and seemed pretty happy being outside.
' Don't rub it in,' Gohan thought watching the bird as if it was laughing at Gohan.
" Mr. Gohan, are you going to daydream about nature or are you going to pay attention in class," Mr. German said slapping a ruler on the desk.
Gohan got out of his daydream and saw an angry teacher looking at him.
" Sorry sir," Gohan apologized. A few snickers were heard and Gohan blushed a bit.
" Dork," he heard Sharpner say.
Gohan ignored his comment and paid attention to the teacher.
****Flash****
Looking at the map the office gave him, Gohan looked for the cafeteria. He flipped the map a couple of times to make sure he was reading it right.
" You hold it this way stupid," Videl said turning it the right way for Gohan. " For a genius you're pretty stupid. What was your name again?"
Ignoring the comment, Gohan gave his name.
" My name is Gohan and can you help me find the cafeteria? I can't find it here."
" Search yourself, I'm not your maid," Videl said walking away from Gohan.
' Why is everyone being so mean to me,' Gohan thought. ' I guess they're trying to break me in or something, trying to find my limits. They could at least be a bit more nicer and not more like Vegeta.'
****Flash****
Gohan sat on the roof eating his lunch by himself. He gave up looking for the cafeteria and decided to eat on the roof. Usually when he ate his lunch, he would have someone like his mom to talk to. He found himself not being so hungry and saved the rest for later. It would be nice to have people to talk to, people like friends.
****Flash****
" So if twenty-three really equals one, then what would fifty two equal if twelve was eighteen? Mr. Gohan, why don't you answer that," Mr. Sosia said. He looked up at Gohan who was totally out.
He walked up to the sleeping Gohan and tapped his foot impatiently. Erasea had a good idea and stomped her foot on Gohan's.
" YEOW! Those high heels really hurt," Gohan yelled rubbing his foot.
The class went into a hysterical laughing gaggle of geese and Gohan was red from embarrassment once more. Not embarrassment, more like humiliation. Gohan realized that the teacher was right above him and was not pleased.
" Mr. Gohan, I know that you are new around here but I thought people your age could have some manners and not fall asleep in my class," Mrs. Cher said. " Go wait outside till class is over. You will get your assignment then and I hope you will learn a lesson from this."
" Yeah, don't drool on the tables," Sharpner commented pointing at a tiny puddle of drool.
The class once again exploded into laughter. Gohan made his way outside the class and waited till it was over.
' I rather be with Vegeta then be here,' Gohan thought leaning his head on the wall. ' The only embarrassment I would have to suffer is from losing against him.'
****Flash****
School finally ended and Gohan was more than relieved. Now he knew why most people dreaded school and couldn't blame them for dropping out. Everybody had someone to talk to at the end of the day and made plans after school. Videl was talking to Erasea, Sharpner was talking to some girl in their history class, and Gohan was putting his books in his little sac.
Gohan walked up the stairs to the roof and noticed that Videl was behind him. He didn't care. He didn't stop to say hello, he didn't run faster to get away from her, he just walked his normal pace.
" Hey Mountain Boy," Videl cried catching up to Gohan. " Going on the roof to climb in your nest full of dodo's?"
" Dodo's no longer exist," Gohan replied.
" I dunno, I see one right now," Videl said looking at Gohan. " Why are you going to the roof anyway?"
" To get fresh air," Gohan said making it to the top. ' Or maybe to fly away from this hellhole.'
" Please," Videl said rolling her eyes. " We all know you live in the alleyways."
" I do not," Gohan said almost in a shout. " So I live in the Mountain Area, big deal."
" You do not. It's five hours away from this place and there is no way you could make it here. Besides, I think I saw those clothes at good will."
Gohan didn't fight this time. He watched Videl leave in her bug jet before heading out himself.
****Flash****
Gohan landed in front of his house and was tackled by a speedy demi-saiyan. Being caught off guard, Goten knocked Gohan to the ground and talked about his day.
" So Trunks said that I was weaker than he was and I'm like liar and he said well prove it and I said fine and we started to fight in the gravity room which made Vegeta mad and he came in the room and beat me and Trunks up but then Bulma came in and yelled at Vegeta and me and Trunks laughed which made Vegeta really mad and he went super saiyan but Bulma said couch and Vegeta calmed down but he beat us up later in the day and Bulma....."
Getting up and putting Goten aside, Gohan managed to get up from the ground and was greeted by his mother. Goten still blabbed on about his day and Chi- Chi just smiled.
" So how was your first day of school," Chi-Chi asked. " Did you meet any friends?"
' School was awful, I hate it, and I have no friends! I don't want to go back! I rather be home schooled for the rest of my life!'
" It was okay," Gohan replied ignoring the truth in his head. " I haven't met anybody yet but it wasn't that bad."
Gohan put on a fake smile to satisfy his mother. She bought it and headed in towards the house. Gohan followed and Goten continued with his story.
" So Bulma came in and saw Vegeta beating us up and she yelled at him and me and Trunks ran away into his room where we hid under his bed from his dad and..."
****Flash****
Gohan's alarm went off. He didn't want to get up, he didn't want to move, even the fresh smell of bacon didn't phase this demi-saiyan. He has been in school for about two weeks and he hated it. He had no one to talk to, he ate lunch by himself, and now he was labeled " Loser of the Year." They even made him award out of confetti.
" Gohan, for the last time it's time for school," Chi-Chi hollered. " You're going to be late again."
" I don't feel good," Gohan said flipping his covers over his head.
" Does your stomach still hurt," Chi-Chi said entering Gohan's room. " I know you didn't eat much dinner last night but at least you should have something this morning. You should have some toast and you'll be fine."
" I'm not hungry," Gohan mumbled under his covers.
" You're not heaving, you don't have diarrhea, and you have no fever. You're perfectly fine to go to school today. Now hurry up before you're late."
Chi-Chi walked over to Gohan's bed and pulled the covers off of him, leaving him in his boxers and white tank top. Oh yeah, this would be a good day.
****Flash****
" Okay class, today we are going to play soccer and I need two people to be captains," Coach Ryan said to his class. " Videl and Sharpner, you will be the captains and Videl will go first."
Videl and Sharpner walked up to Coach Ryan and took a side.
" I'll take Faith," Videl said.
" Erasea, you're mine," Sharpner said.
" Moth."
" Owen."
" Vickie."
" Patricia."
" Brandon."
" Chad."
Names were called one by one and once again, Gohan was last pick.
" I don't want him," Videl said turning to Sharpner. " He's yours. An extra player might help you lose more."
" I ain't taking him," Sharpner said pointing to Videl. " It's your turn to pick and he's the last one. So as the rules say, he's yours."
" I don't need an extra player one the team. I already have the best!"
" No way, I have Patricia on my team. She's already the best!"
" No one is better than Faith. She can at least stop the goals and pass Mr. Char class."
Gohan watched Videl and Sharpner argue back and forth about who gets him on their team.
" Never mind I just won't play," Gohan said walking back to the bleachers.
" Gohan, you have to play or else you fail," Coach Ryan said.
" Then I'll fail," Gohan replied.
" Well that handles that problem," Videl said. " Lets play!"
****Flash****
Finally, the end of the day and Thanksgiving was only two days away. Gohan and his family were going to have Thanksgiving at the Briefs along with Krillin's family, Master Roshi, Yamcha, Puar, Oolong, and Piccolo said he would stop by and visit. Bulma and Chi-Chi would cook for hours while everyone else relaxed or trained. Gohan would usually spend time talking to Krillin or training with Vegeta. Afterwards, they would give thanks and eat. But the best part was the home made pies.
But turkey and pies didn't strike Gohan's fancy. He didn't want turkey or the pies and training was just something he did for fun. Well, he hasn't trained since who knows how long and fun was something known as a past time event. Food wasn't much of a big concern to him anymore. His mother noticed his eating habits and became very concerned. He would have a normal meal like his mother everyday, maybe even less. When she asked him if he was all right and if something was wrong, he would just reply: ' It's just a phase. I'll get over it.' But he was never over it.
Fumbling around with his combination, Gohan couldn't open his lock. He spun it a couple of times and pin pointed each number in its exact spot. For some reason or another, it didn't budge. He couldn't break another lock or else he would be suspended for destruction of property, and he already broken five of his locks.
" Problems Mountain Boy," Sharpner said leaning on the locker next to him. " Are you sure you're using the right combination or are you using your locker and not someone else's?"
Another thing in Gohan that also changed not to long ago. He wouldn't talk anymore and sometimes it just seemed pointless. He knew better than to reply to anybody or anything.
" Poor Gohan. Little boy lost his voice and doesn't know where to find it. Open your mouth stupid."
One thing Gohan did learn was how to control his anger. He wanted to blow Sharpner up into little pieces and make sure he died a slow, painful death. Stupid lock.
" You're never going to open it," Sharpner said grinning from ear to ear. " Super glue does wonders for you and is next to impossible to get your lock open. You could destroy it but, won't you get suspended and miss school. Oh well, at least it will be peaceful when you're gone."
Gohan broke his lock. It was the only way to open it and maybe missing a few days of school might bring back some of his sanity. Opening up his locker he noticed some strange smell coming from it. Gohan opened it all the way and noticed that it had moldy cheese and a decaying frog that someone dissected from science class. The smell grew stronger.
People passed by his locker and noticed how bad it really smelled and Gohan still had books in there. Feeling sick to his stomach, Gohan shut his locker. The smell filled the hallways and people noticed that it was from Gohan's locker. The principle came down the hallway and noticed the smell himself. Knowing where it was coming from, he stepped up to Gohan and told him to go to the office.
****Flash****
" This is great Gohan, just great," Chi-Chi yelled pacing in Gohan's room. " The last thing I expected was getting a call from you teachers AND your principle! What is going on Gohan? Why are you not eating, not speaking, and why do you leave the house in the middle of the night? Tell me Gohan!"
Gohan looked down at the ground and didn't reply. He would get into less trouble if he did.
" Gohan, your grades are dropping like dead flies," Chi-Chi said in her concern voice. " I want to know what's wrong so I can help you. Why won't you tell me? Do you need to talk to Piccolo or somebody else? Please Gohan, you're really making me worried."
"....."
" Gohan please!"
"...."
****Flash****
Thanksgiving came and for once, Gohan slept in. Chi-Chi knew not to disturb him because indeed he needed the rest. He hasn't been sleeping lately and the sleep he got was never enough. He would usually get up in the middle of the night and go for walks to who knows where. He needed the sleep, so she let him rest, that is, until Goten came in.
" Gohan," little Goten cried as he jumped on his back. " Guess what today is?"
" The day Gohan gets to sleep in," Chi-Chi said pulling Goten by the collar. " You leave Gohan alone and let him sleep in for once. You eat your breakfast before it gets cold."
" Aw Mom."
" Don't ' aw Mom' me mister. Out now!"
Goten pouted and left the room. Chi-Chi looked over at Gohan who was getting out of bed. He was already awaken by his little brother so why go back to sleep.
" Gohan, go back to sleep," Chi-Chi said walking towards Gohan. " You need your sleep. Go back to bed and I'll wake you up before we go to Bulma's."
" I'm up anyway," Gohan replied. ' I've been up since three in the morning!'
" Okay sweetie," Chi-Chi said heading out of his room. " I'll let you change. Do you want breakfast this morning?"
"..."
Those usually meant no and Chi-Chi knew better than to ask twice. She gave a worry glance at Gohan, and shut her door on the way out.
****Flash****
" I'll take a breast," Master Roshi said as they passed the turkey around.
" And I'll take a thigh," Oolong said grabbing some turkey.
" Just give me the damn turkey," Vegeta said with a fork and knife at hand.
" You take what I give you," Bulma said putting down some stuffing.
Chi-Chi looked over at the empty seat next to her. Gohan passed on the turkey and went for a walk instead. She never knew where Gohan usually walked to, or if he even walked at all.
" Don't worry Chi-Chi," Krillin said. " I'm sure Gohan will be fine. Maybe he went to visit Piccolo or something like that. I'm sure he'll return for the pie."
" Kami knows that Gohan loves his pie," Bulma said placing down more stuffing. " He eats more pumpkin pie than he does turkey."
" That's because Mommy makes the best pie in the world," Goten said putting stuffing on his plate.
" While my mom burns them," Trunks commented getting a snicker from Vegeta.
" You don't have to have pie," Bulma said still putting down stuffing. " Both of you."
Gohan entered the room back from his walk. Chi-Chi smiled at him as he sat down next to her.
" We have plenty of food to eat," Chi-Chi said. " Just eat something and make me happy."
"....Mm...."
Chi-Chi smiled a bit and passed the turkey to Gohan. He grabbed some and put it on his plate.
" Who wants to say grace," Puar said with her napkin around her neck.
" Meat is good so is the pie. Eat my food and you will die," Vegeta said. Everybody eyed him. " Grace."
" Good enough for me," Trunks said taking a huge bite out of his turkey.
****Flash****
For once, Gohan ate all of his food. He hasn't talked to anybody but everyone was talking to him. He mostly stared at the table and had his head resting on his hand.
" So how is school Gohan," Eighteen asked getting Gohan into conversation. " Meet any new friends?"
If Gohan could laugh, he would. His " friends" were more like his enemies. School wasn't one of the things he would talk about. He hated it. In fact, he hated almost everything in life. He didn't care any more.
" Well, he better get his act together for one," Chi-Chi said picking up some of the dishes. " I don't like getting phone calls from his teachers saying that he is close to failing. And speaking of school, I got your report card today."
" Gohan's gonna get in trouble," Goten sang.
" Not as much trouble as you're going to be in," Chi-Chi said scolding her youngest son.
" What are his grades," Krillin asked.
" Lower than a B," Chi-Chi simply answered. " He's failing Gym."
" How in the world are you failing Gym," Master Roshi asked. " Do you know how to pitch a baseball?"
" That's what you get for not training," Vegeta scolded. " If your failing Gym class than you know either he's cutting class or he's too stupid to know what it is."
" Vegeta," Bulma yelled. " Mind your manners. It's a holiday and for once can we act normal?"
" What does normal mean," Goten asked sticking chopsticks in his mouth pretending to be a walrus.
" Well I'm going to train," Vegeta said getting up from his seat. " Tell me when we're having pie."
" I going for a walk," Gohan said getting out of his chair.
" I'll come with ya," Krillin said.
" Don't bother," Gohan said putting on his jacket. " I'm just heading home."
" No pie," Chi-Chi said in shock.
"......"
****Flash****
" Kid, what are you doing to yourself," Piccolo said walking next to his old pupil. " I can't believe how much you've changed over the past few months. I will ask you again, what is going on?"
Gohan kept on walking ignoring his old mentor. He would just laugh, just like everybody else. Even if he tried to be serious they would laugh. He got enough of that from school.
" Gohan, are you even listening?"
" ....."
Gohan kept on walking.
****Flash****
" So I had a bad stomach ache after Thanksgiving but I still went to the mall to do some shopping," Erasea said. " All in all I was happy that my mom didn't set the house on fire again."
" Very good Erasea," Mr. Char said. " How about you Miss Videl?"
" It was just me, my father, my grandparents, and relatives from all over," Videl began to say. " It was nice and afterwards we all had smores. We didn't do much during the weekend expect do some early Christmas shopping and spar for the WMAT in a couple of months."
" Good luck to you and your father," Mr. Char said. " Mr. Gohan, how was your Thanksgiving?"
" This ought to be a good snore," Sharpner said leaning back on his chair. " And I forgot my blanket too."
" I could have brought my pillow," Videl said yawning. " Nobody wants to hear how he had rat for Thanksgiving."
People snickered and some burst into laughter. Gohan was used to it.
" Class settle down now," Mr. Char said. " I'm sure you don't want to read a two hundred page book and write a report due tomorrow do you?"
" How to Cross Dress by Gohan Son," Sharpner said.
The class once again went into a hysterical laughter and couldn't hear the teacher yelling, or was he laughing? Whatever the teacher was doing, he was soon cut off from the sound of the bell.
****Flash****
Gohan laid on his bed starring up at the ceiling. He was bored but he didn't care. His mother took Goten over to Trunks to play and he was left alone in the house. The phone rang and Gohan got up to answer it.
" Hello," he said at his normal, depressed voice.
" Is this Gohan," said the person on the other end.
" Yeah why," Gohan said not sure who it was on the other line.
" Your order of books came in today," said the person on the other end. " You'll need to pick them up at 82 Liquor Drive right now."
" I didn't order any books," Gohan said. " Who is this?"
There was silence on the other end, then the voice spoke once again.
" You don't remember me? Why, it's Cell!"
Gohan's faced paled. It couldn't be Cell he was dead. But it sounded like Cell and that gave Gohan enough prove.
" I'll be right over there to kill you again," Gohan said. He hung up the phone and he could of sworn that he heard some laughter before he hung up.
****Flash****
Gohan walked over to 82 Liquor Drive. It was an empty park that used to be a playground a long time ago. Something dong on Gohan as soon as he made it there. Cell didn't know how to use the phone and he definitely didn't know addresses of Satan City.
It was a prank call and he easily fell for it.
Why was he so stupid? He knew it couldn't have been Cell but he fell for it anyway. Why was he so stupid, why, why, why?
" I can't believe you fell for it," Sharpner said coming from behind a tree. " That was Erasea's idea even. No one falls for her ideas unless they are completely stupid. Well if the shoes fits."
Gohan tried to make his way out of the park, but more and more people came from behind the trees and bushes. He was surrounded, and flying was not an option at this point. If he flew then he would be in more trouble than he was already was.
" You got here a little too quickly didn't you Gohan," Videl said walking up from behind Gohan. " I saw you coming from the alley way over there and I noticed a pay phone near it too. Is that where you live, or is that where you stay until you can get enough money to live in a box?"
More and more people began to surround him and enclose him in a circle. His shoes began to become wet from the snow and Gohan had no place to hide. He was trapped and there was no escape.
" Now," Sharpner yelled.
Before Gohan could react, water balloons were being thrown at him along with some snowballs. He couldn't dodge them and he was getting cold and soaked. Everyone was laughing at him and Gohan couldn't take it anymore. He made his way through two kids and ran out of the park. There he flew up to the sky, shivering and blue from the cold.
****Flash****
He never talked about it, never mentioned it, and he lied about it. It was all he could do after Vegeta and Trunks laughed at him. Water balloons on a cold night, that was just funny if you were stupid. But the next morning, Gohan got sick but his mother didn't approve.
" That's what you get for playing late in the night," Chi-Chi said taking Gohan's temperature. " You catch a cold and get sick. Look, you even have a fever! I hope you learned your lesson on this Gohan."
Yeah he learned his lesson; never answer the phone.
****Flash****
Darkness. He was walking in the darkness and he didn't know why. He wasn't outside because it was warm out in March and it wasn't warm where he was. Gohan stopped walking and looked around. Where was he?
" I can't believe you get pushed around like that," Chi-Chi said appearing in front of Gohan. " I thought I raised you with more sense than that. Look at you, you're a total disgrace."
Gohan didn't speak.
" I can't believe I have to live with a selfish lazy brother," Goten said taking place of Chi-Chi.
Gohan didn't speak again.
" I thought I told you not to be bossed around with," Piccolo said taking place of Goten expect with his back turned. " Apparently you are too weak to do anything about it. You really disappointed me Gohan."
" But Piccolo," Gohan cried. But Piccolo soon disappeared and a new form took it's place.
" Poor excuse for a sayian," Vegeta said. " You're just a low class Baka who doesn't know what to do. You're just like your father, weak and an ignoramus*."
Speaking of his father, he appeared in place of Vegeta.
" Son," he said as anger showed in his face. " I trusted you to take care of you and my family. You can't even take care of yourself so how do I know if your taking care of everyone else. You're no son to me Gohan. You're just a piece of paper being blown in the wind, unwanted and just a piece of trash."
Gohan stared at his father in disbelief. This wasn't his father, it couldn't be, could it?
" Loser."
" Mountain Boy."
" Mama's Boy."
" You low class Baka."
" Stupid."
" A disappointment to our family."
" Just a piece of unwanted trash."
" Please stop," Gohan shouted as he fell to his knees and placed his hands over his ears. " Just leave me alone!"
" Baka."
" A disgrace."
" Hahahahahahahahaha!"
" You're just a failure!"
" Just a failure.."
" Just a failure."
" A Failure!"
****
Gohan shot up instantly. Cold sweat was all over his body and his breathing was fast and harsh. What the hell happened?
" Are you okay?"
Gohan turned around and saw his father kneeling beside him. Gohan also noticed that he was sitting up and went through a hell of a nightmare.
" It's okay Gohan relax," Goku said putting his hand on Gohan's shoulder. " I just gave you a senzu bean that's all."
Gohan didn't respond. He was in too much of a shock. He was trembling from head to toe. His body was soaking wet and the demon Dabura was gone. All he saw was a pink thing that looked like bubble gum fighting Vegeta.
" That's Majin Buu," Goku said getting up from the ground. " It killed Dabura not too long ago so I had Vegeta distract it so I could give you a senzu bean. Are you alright Gohan?"
Gohan didn't respond once again. If that thing killed Dabura the he knew that it could also kill him. Even though he was still trembling, he managed to get up.
" Gohan, what's the matter," Goku said placing his hand on Gohan's shoulder once more.
" You're just a failure!"
Gohan shook his head.
" I am," he replied.
" You are what?"
" I'm just a failure."
Very long chappie! Very proud of my work. It was hard finding ways to torture Gohan and yet keep his insanity at the same time. Thanks for all the reviews and I hope to get more.
So please review and make me happy. If you make me happy, then I'll make Gohan happy. * Snickers* I will help him along the way. * Giggles* I dunno what I will do next but it will definitely be good.
So review and I'll put up a new chapter.
Many thanks to all!
