READ!
---It was late. Gohan finally made it to his house and noticed that there were no lights on. That either meant his mother was asleep or no one was home. Opening the door, Gohan walked in the house. He could sense the battle and was confused when he felt Trunks and Goten's ki together as one. Vegeta and his father felt the same way and didn't understand why.
" Probably the fusion thing Dad mentioned to me before," Gohan said to himself.
Looking around the house, Gohan couldn't sense his mother's ki. He figured that she was probably at Bulma's spending the night while everyone was fighting.
Gohan plopped down on the couch. He didn't feel hungry and wasn't tired at all. That's how it was most of his days; no eating and sleeping wasn't very good either. The most sleep he probably had was from last night and the most he ate was probably that cookie Majin Buu gave him.
Majin Buu.
His ki was decreasing; Majin Buu was losing the battle. Gohan shut his eyes for a second as he felt his friend's decreasing ki go by. His fathers and Vegeta's mixed ki seemed to be beating the life of his friend. There was nothing that he could do.
**Flashback**
" You're not going to fight," Goku pleaded. " We need you Gohan! Buu isn't the same anymore. He's not the chubby pink thing that makes cookies. He's now an evil Buu and only you can help him."
" I'm only helping by staying out of the way."
**End Flashback**
Even though Gohan hasn't sensed ki in a long time, he could feel the evil within Buu. Buu was evil now, how could Gohan get through to him? Usually if a person was evil and was out to kill your friends, didn't that mean something? He knew what it meant. It meant that someone was going to die; it meant that Majin Buu was going to be killed. His only friend, kill by the people who he also cared for.
Gohan opened his eyes as he heard the telephone ring. Who would be calling this late at night or was it early in the morning? Nah, who cared anyway.
' Might as well answer the damn thing,' Gohan thought getting up from the couch. ' It could be mom calling to see if I was home or not.'
Gohan went in the hall and picked up the phone.
" Hello," he said in a low voice.
No answer.
" Is anyone there?"
Still silence.
Gohan hung up the phone. Just a stupid sales person. The phone rang again. Wanting to ignore it, Gohan walked away. The phone kept on ringing.
" Hello," Gohan answered once more.
More silence on the other line. This time Gohan waited.
" Gohan?"
Gohan didn't recognize the voice. He never heard it before in his life.
" This is he," Gohan answered. " May I ask who's calling?"
" Wouldn't you want to know," the voice said on the other line. " Meet me at Satan Park in ten minutes."
" I'm not falling for that one again," Gohan said. " I'm not going anywhere and why are you calling around three in the morning?"
" Cause you weren't her three in the afternoon nerd," the speaker said. " Just meet me in Satan Park before I come over your house!"
" And if I'm not home?"
" Then I'll hunt you down with my jet copper! I want to know how you can fly and why I can't!"
Gohan sighed. Videl.
He hung up the phone before Videl could speak again. He wasn't falling for anymore tricks this time. The phone rang again and Gohan pulled the phone cord out. Frustrated, Gohan went into his room and pulled out his jacket from his closet. He was about to open the door when a sudden jolt hit his body.
A ki vanished from this planet.
Gohan concentrated on the world around him focusing on the ki that just disappeared. He shut his eyes to get a better reading and opened them when he found out who's it was.
Majin Buu.
Gohan shut his eyes again. His friend, killed by the line of action. He could have been there to help him, he could have stopped the fight, he could have saved his friend's life. But instead he went flying home running away from life itself. His eyes began to tear.
' Buu, I'm so sorry. I didn't.I should of..I could.you wouldn't be..I...'
Gohan ran out of the house.
" You're just a failure! You're just a failure! You're just a failure! You're just a failure! You're just a failure! You're just a failure! You're just a failure!"
" I'm not a failure," Gohan shouted running through the woods. " I'm not!"
" Buu made a friend! This Gohan is Buu's friend! Buu will not kill friend!"
Gohan shut his eyes as tears rapidly fell down his cheeks. All he could do is run away.
" Will I ever hurt one of your friends?"
His father did hurt his friend. No not hurt, he killed his friend. Goku killed his friend. He lied. He lied! His own father lied to him! He said he wouldn't hurt Majin Buu, no, he said he wouldn't kill Majin Buu. He lied! He lied! He lied! He lied!
" He's now an evil Buu and only you can help him."
How could he help him if he was dead? Gohan tripped on a tree root and fell on the ground. He lied there for a bit as he let his tears run freely. He moved his arms and crossed them on the ground. He laid his head on is arms and cried. For the only person who wanted to be his friend, no, the person who was his friend. His best friend.
****
Goku plopped down on the ground along with Vegeta, Trunks and Goten. Buu was finally destroyed, so why wasn't he happy? Maybe because it was late and he was tired to the bone.
" Well..he's finally..destroyed," Goku breathed out.
" About time," Vegeta said. " If I had to fuse with you one more time then I'll have to kill you!"
" I like fusion," Goten said lying down on the ground. " I want to fight Buu again!"
" No," everyone cried. Goten pouted.
" It would have been more fun if Gohan played with us," Goten said. " He missed a really good battle."
That's when it hit Goku. He was too concerned to get rid of Buu that he forgot that Buu was Gohan's friend. He wanted Buu destroyed, maybe because he was fused with Vegeta. A fusion was two people sharing one mind and it seemed that Vegeta controlled it more than Goku did.
" That brat was in the doldrums," Vegeta said. " He would have been knocked out in two seconds flat. Where is he anyway Kakkorot?"
" Huh," Goku said.
" Your oldest brat Kakkorot! Where the hell is he?"
" I think he said that he went home," Goku replied. " But I can't sense his ki there. Maybe he knows about Buu. He probably hates me now."
" Why would Gohan hate you," Goten asked leaning back up. " He always talked about you a lot, well he used to, but he always said that you were a hard person to hate."
Goku smiled at Goten.
" Enough with the chit chat I'm hungry," Vegeta said. " Your mate is probably with my mate at Capsule Corps. Maybe we'll find your brat there."
" Food," Trunks and Goten cried.
" Good idea," Goku said getting up and wincing. " First we should go to the Lookout and get Dendae to heal us. We should tell the others about Majin Buu and meet up at Capsule Corps."
" I don't need a damn Namck to heal me," Vegeta said also wincing. " All I need is a little time in the gravity room and I'll be fine."
" I'm coming with you Goten's dad," Trunks said running up to Goku.
" Okay okay," Goku said as he laughed. " You can come. You just have to asked your dad first."
Vegeta cracked his knuckles and smirked.
" Do I have to," Trunks said with pleading eyes. " Can't you just use that Instant Transmission thingie and then take me home, please?"
" Ask Vegeta, he's right there."
Trunks looked over at his father. He cleared his throat.
" Dad, can I go with-"
" A true saiyan doesn't need anybody to help them," Vegeta said grabbing Trunks by his collar. " Besides, I'm not going to be the only one who will suffer from your mothers care."
" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO," Trunks cried as Vegeta flew both of them home.
" I'll see you later Trunks," Goten cried waving goodbye.
" Good luck," Goku said waving goodbye also. " Ready to go kiddo?"
" Yeah!"
Goku put two fingers on his forehead and disappeared. It didn't take long to get to the lookout. Piccolo and Krillin were already there. Dendae saw the injured saiyans and quickly ran to their side.
" So Majin Buu is finally destroyed," Dendae said placing a hand on the two.
" For good hopefully," Goku said as he felt Dendae's power. " Maybe for us though."
" What do you mean," Mr. Popo asked.
Goku waited until both him and Goten were healed. Goten jumped up and down a couple of times and laughed.
" It's Gohan isn't it," Piccolo said. Goten stopped jumping up and down from the sound of his brother's name. Goku nodded.
" I don't know how Gohan will handle it. He has been through a lot, at least from what he told me, and we punch me in the nose when I thought he was joking about Majin Buu really being his friend."
" Is Gohan getting better," Goten asked looking up at Goku. " Is he going to be happy again and play with me?"
Goku didn't respond, nor did Piccolo and Krillin. Mr. Popo and Dendae kept their mouths shut also. Goten looked down at the ground and sniffled.
" Aw Goten," Goku said bending down to his level. " Gohan just has some issues to get rid of. He'll be fine okay? Daddy and Piccolo are going to talk to him and make him feel better."
" Promise," Goten asked with those said puppy dog eyes. " Will he really get better even though Majin Buu was his friend and he's dead?"
Goku couldn't promise.
" We'll see what happens," Krillin said covering up for Goku. " You're brother is pretty strong and all he has to do is fight. It's his battle and he needs to win in order to gain control of himself."
" What happens if Gohan loses control," Goten asked.
" We'll worry about it later," Goku said ruffling up Goten's hair. " Everybody grab on. We're heading to Capsule Corps. Would everybody please hang on tight and keep your hands and feet in at all times. Thank you for choosing Goku's Instant Transmission and have a good day!"
Dendae and Mr. Popo stayed behind and watched as Goku, Goten, Krillin and Piccolo disappear. Dendae sighed and looked over the edge of the lookout.
" What is the matter Dendae," Mr. Popo asked. " Did you want to follow Goku?"
" It's Gohan," Dendae replied. " He's hiding his ki very well. I think he knows what happened today, with Buu. I'm afraid Mr. Popo."
" Why Dendae?"
" Gohan is a saiyan. Their motto is to kill, destroy, and become powerful than anybody else in the universe. They are also known for their short tempers and their emotions are rarely seen. Losing somebody in a saiyan world is like losing a person close to you."
" What are you trying to say Dendae?"
Dendae took a deep breath and spoke.
" Gohan wasn't the same before Buu came and as from what I heard from Goku, Gohan spoke out because of Buu. Gohan is now closed up, locking in more than he should and you know what happens when you stuff too much in a box."
" It explodes," Mr. Popo answered.
" Into a range of anger," Dendae said. " I didn't want to worry Goku because I'm hoping that Gohan can pull through. I can't sense his ki now but I did before. It wasn't good Mr. Popo."
****
" Man I'm bushed," Goku said plopping down on the couch next to Chi-Chi. " I'm ready for bed."
" You don't have to tell them twice," Krillin said pointing to Goten and Trunks. Both were back to back on the living room floor. " They have a good idea."
" Even Vegeta is knocked out," Bulma pointed out. " If you listen quickly, you can hear him snore."
" I think you mean Goku over here," Chi-Chi said as she looked over at Goku drooling from the corner of his mouth and snoring. " When he's out he's out."
" Unless you mention f-o-o-d," Bulma said sitting on a chair. " I'm tired. Goodnight Chi."
" Night Bulma."
Piccolo watched as everyone fell asleep but he knew better. Namcks don't usually sleep. Piccolo made his way quickly out the door and on a search. Since the rest of the gang was out like no tomorrow, Piccolo flew off to find the troubled demi-saiyan. Gohan.
Flying around and concentrating on one thing, Piccolo was determined to help his ex-student one more time. Gohan was more or less hiding his ki from everyone and didn't want to be spotted.
Tapping into his powers, Piccolo managed to feel a small ki by Goku's house. Realizing that the ki belonged to Gohan, Piccolo flew to the ground. He was close but he had to also hide his ki so Gohan couldn't run, or catch him off guard with a surprise attack.
Plop.
Piccolo stopped walking.
Plop.
He looked around and realized the sound he was hearing was from a river near by. He then felt Gohan's ki near the river and walked in his direction. Something about Gohan's ki seemed off, like he was missing a part of him. Was it...was it because of Buu?
Plop.
That's when Piccolo spotted him. Sitting on a rock just inches from the river throwing stones was none other than Gohan himself. Piccolo felt pity for his ex-student and walked up to him. He stood a couple of feet away from him and stood there while Gohan nonchalantly threw stones in the river.
" Hey kid," Piccolo said. Gohan didn't respond. " I'm sorry about what happened to Buu today but it was for the better. He somehow fused with an evil Buu and became the enemy. We couldn't change him back so we had to destroy him. There was nothing that we could do."
Plop.
Apparently, what Piccolo said was going through one ear and out the other. Gohan kept on throwing stones in the river, like he did it everyday of his life. Piccolo walked closer to Gohan but only to be pushed back into a tree.
Somehow Gohan managed to put a barrier around him to keep everything away from him. It worked that's for sure.
Piccolo got up and rubbed the back of his head. That barrier did prove worthy for keeping things out. Instead of Gohan getting better he was getting worse, much worse! That's when Piccolo saw it.
Plop.
Gohan's eyes were cloudy and looked as if they were made of glass. His face was in a mask of dried tears and some unshed tears lingering in the corner of his eyes. He was like a dunking bird but instead of bobbing his head, he was throwing stones in the river.
Plop. Plop. Plop. Plop. Plop. Plop. Twhack!
Gohan threw the rest of the stones in the river and one hit a rock instead. Knowing that the barrier was still up, piccolo walked up carefully and sat a couple of feet next to Gohan. Little did he know that he was mere inches away from the barrier that Gohan was secured in.
" I'm not one to show off my emotions," Piccolo said. " But I'm worried about you kid. I know what it feels like losing someone close. It may not be the same experience that you are going through, but it's pretty damn close."
Gohan stared at his reflection in the river.
" Even though we used the Dragonballs already to wish Goku back to life and the people that Majin Buu killed, we can always wish Majin Buu back the way you always known him. If we must, we can go to Namck and use their Dragonballs."
A tear escaped from Gohan's eye and landed in the river. Tiny ripples were the only movement that was shown between the two. Piccolo crossed his legs and hovered in the air. Might as well meditate to get your mind fixed up for a time.
Gohan knew that Piccolo was meditating next to him but didn't bother to glance over. He was too lost in thought, no he wasn't lost, he was just never found in the first place. He had a heavy burden over his shoulders that he couldn't haul off. On the one shoulder was the pain and agony he suffered in school. On the other, was the thought of not saving his friend, Buu, from trouble.
Or was he thinking at all? He would never open up again that's for sure. It was better to keep things locked up so then you know that no one could open it. If he just helped Buu then maybe he wouldn't be sitting around grieving like a little girl!
More tears fell down his cheeks and made ripples in the water. It hurt, it hurt very badly. Know one knew what pain he was going through! No one experienced the hard times in school that he suffered everyday! Things are not going to be okay; things will not get better! Things will never get over it! THINGS WILL NEVER BRING BACK LIFE!!!
Plop. Plop. Plop. Plop.
Piccolo opened an eye and noticed Gohan crying out his feelings. He tried to get closer to him but only got shot away by the barrier, hitting another tree. Trying to get up seemed pointless. Gohan's barrier kept on expanding and pushing Piccolo farther and farther away from him. Till finally, the barrier broke from too much power and a scream echoed through the forest.
Gohan's power level faded.
Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnn!
A cliffly! Okay, I'm in a writers block at this point cause I don't know what I'll do with Gohan. I have an idea and then I have another. Wait and see.
Is Gohan really dead? Do fan fic writers lie? Only I know.
Since Majin Buu is dead, I don't have a cookie maker anymore. So I have something better!

" Well..he's finally..destroyed," Goku breathed out.
" About time," Vegeta said. " If I had to fuse with you one more time then I'll have to kill you!"
" I like fusion," Goten said lying down on the ground. " I want to fight Buu again!"
" No," everyone cried. Goten pouted.

That's when Piccolo spotted him. Sitting on a rock just inches from the river throwing stones was none other than Gohan himself. Piccolo felt pity for his ex-student and walked up to him. He stood a couple of feet away from him and stood there while Gohan nonchalantly threw stones in the river.
" Hey kid," Piccolo said. Gohan didn't respond. " I'm sorry about what happened to Buu today but it was for the better. He somehow fused with an evil Buu and became the enemy. We couldn't change him back so we had to destroy him. There was nothing that we could do."
Plop.
Apparently, what Piccolo said was going through one ear and out the other. Gohan kept on throwing stones in the river, like he did it everyday of his life. Piccolo walked closer to Gohan but only to be pushed back into a tree.
Somehow Gohan managed to put a barrier around him to keep everything away from him. It worked that's for sure.
Piccolo got up and rubbed the back of his head. That barrier did prove worthy for keeping things out. Instead of Gohan getting better he was getting worse, much worse! That's when Piccolo saw it.
Plop.
Gohan's eyes were cloudy and looked as if they were made of glass. His face was in a mask of dried tears and some unshed tears lingering in the corner of his eyes. He was like a dunking bird but instead of bobbing his head, he was throwing stones in the river.
Plop. Plop. Plop. Plop. Plop. Plop. Twhack!
Gohan threw the rest of the stones in the river and one hit a rock instead. Knowing that the barrier was still up, piccolo walked up carefully and sat a couple of feet next to Gohan. Little did he know that he was mere inches away from the barrier that Gohan was secured in.
" I'm not one to show off my emotions," Piccolo said. " But I'm worried about you kid. I know what it feels like losing someone close. It may not be the same experience that you are going through, but it's pretty damn close."
Gohan stared at his reflection in the river.
" Even though we used the Dragonballs already to wish Goku back to life and the people that Majin Buu killed, we can always wish Majin Buu back the way you always known him. If we must, we can go to Namck and use their Dragonballs."
A tear escaped from Gohan's eye and landed in the river. Tiny ripples were the only movement that was shown between the two. Piccolo crossed his legs and hovered in the air. Might as well meditate to get your mind fixed up for a time.
Gohan knew that Piccolo was meditating next to him but didn't bother to glance over. He was too lost in thought, no he wasn't lost, he was just never found in the first place. He had a heavy burden over his shoulders that he couldn't haul off. On the one shoulder was the pain and agony he suffered in school. On the other, was the thought of not saving his friend, Buu, from trouble.
Or was he thinking at all? He would never open up again that's for sure. It was better to keep things locked up so then you know that no one could open it. If he just helped Buu then maybe he wouldn't be sitting around grieving like a little girl!
More tears fell down his cheeks and made ripples in the water. It hurt, it hurt very badly. Know one knew what pain he was going through! No one experienced the hard times in school that he suffered everyday! Things are not going to be okay; things will not get better! Things will never get over it! THINGS WILL NEVER BRING BACK LIFE!!!
Plop. Plop. Plop. Plop.
Piccolo opened an eye and noticed Gohan crying out his feelings. He tried to get closer to him but only got shot away by the barrier, hitting another tree. Trying to get up seemed pointless. Gohan's barrier kept on expanding and pushing Piccolo farther and farther away from him. Till finally, the barrier broke from too much power and a scream echoed through the forest.
Gohan's power level faded.
Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnn!
A cliffly! Okay, I'm in a writers block at this point cause I don't know what I'll do with Gohan. I have an idea and then I have another. Wait and see.
Is Gohan really dead? Do fan fic writers lie? Only I know.
Since Majin Buu is dead, I don't have a cookie maker anymore. So I have something better!
