Confessions!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The monster thing attacked fast, but it wasn't fast enough. Block for
block, punch for punch they fought, but they did it absently, like they
were playing with the monster. Their thoughts ran wild within them.
"Alone. So alone." Goten's thoughts "Pain, lose, GOTEN COME BACK!" Trunks thoughts. Both of their minds had combined. Feelings that had been bottled up for years unleashed in the two as they attacked the monster over and over again.
"Disbelief, pain, sorrow, happiness, joy, anger, hatred." Goten's mind reeled with Trunks' thoughts about everything. He was happy that he was back, but angered that Goten wouldn't stay.
Trunks decided to look into Goten's past to see what he had missed in the years.
Goten growing up with the strange people, happiness, and anger though, at them for ignoring him . . ..
The fight raged, the monster got angry for being played with and threw random punches.
Together, Trunks used an attack he didn't know, the Kamehameha wave. With their combine powers the Kai shot off the records at the monster disintegrated. Absently the two Fused Saiya-jins removed a bag of sensu beans Trunks had been carrying on him and started reviving the fallen warriors. Then they lined up the still sleeping bodies and awaited them to wake up.
The two sat as one and thought threw their thoughts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I understand why you went Goten, you were angry and tired of being pushed around. And I understand why you were so angry. I'm sorry Goten, I really am. I'm sure the others didn't mean it. And I've yet to see Vegeta turn down a fight." Trunks thought to Goten.
Goten immediately Goten brought up the memories of Vegeta. ~~~~~~~~ "Go away brat, I don't have time to train with you now."
"Brat how many times have I told you No. I'm not one to turn down a good spar, but I'm too busy right now with my own training."
"Brat . . .. NO! DON'T ASK AGAIN OR I'LL BLAST YOU INTO THE NEXT DIMENSION." ~~~~~~~~ "Now I've seen just about everything. Look Goten, at what happened when you left." ~~~~~~~~~ Chi-Chi sat crying so hard that she could barely breath. Gohan and Videl try comforting her but to no avail. "My babies gone! I can't take it! First Goku now Goten. Gohan I forbid you to ever fight again!"
Gohan had exchanged looks with Videl. "We'll find him mom don't worry about it. Were all gonna look for him. We don't know what happened. His Kai just disappeared so maybe he died somehow? I don't know but we could use to dragon balls to wish him back." Gohan suggested.
Chi-Chi nodded, and stopped crying for five seconds. "WHO KILLED MY BABY!" She started tears afresh. "Did who go through a lot of pain? Who would do such a thing?"
Trunks sat in a corner, much like Vegeta's but it held more shadows so no one could see him cry for his lost friend, "I'll kill who ever did it." Trunks vowed in a strangely calm voice that scared even Vegeta. No one could see Trunks face, but everyone in the room went silent as they heard him speek from the heart. "I'll kill them and make them pay. They won't live long after I'm done with them. You'll see." With that Trunks jumped out of the window and wasn't seen or heard from in months. When he finally came home, he saw his mother had collected all the dragon balls.
"Were ready, we were waiting for you to come home, we were hoping you may have found something." Trunks shook his head. Bulma sighed and everyone went outside.
"I SUMMON YOU DRAGON BY THE USE OF YOUR NAME SHERLING!" Bulma shouted, the dragon appeared and looked down at the mortals.
"State your two wishes and I will grant them in my power." The dragon boomed.
"We wish to bring Son Goten back from the dead!" Trunks shouted.
"That cannot be, for he is not dead." The dragon boomed. Everyone was shocked.
"We wish to know how we can find Goten!" Trunks shouted the wish before anyone could stop him. The dragon looked at the boy and blinked his eyes.
"Look for him in your hearts, you will find him there. He will return one day. State your second wish."
"We wish that Son Goten be brought here." Bulma said.
"That cannot be done, I cannot bring him against his will." The dragon said. "State your wish."
"Where is Goten on this earth." Bulma rephrased the question. "To the west." Was all the dragon said before disappearing. Trunks, without a backward glance, left before anyone could stop him. For one long year he searched the west and could not find him. Chi-Chi cried and made a second empty grave next to that of her husbands. She didn't speek to anyone for a very long, long time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` "I didn't know they cared about me that much, nor you Trunks." Goten said.
"Hey I didn't care about you as much as Bra did, she had a fit. You know she's had a crush on you forever." Trunks said with a small laugh.
"We must help the others, they are waking up." Goten thought to Trunks.
"Right." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Who the hell are you," Was the first thing Vegeta said. The two had powered down and looked very strange.
Their hair was dark gray blue. Their arms were well muscled and they were taller then they had been.
"We are one, one and a whole, we are one of two people." The two decided to pick up with their friendship where they had left off, playing practical and confusing jokes on Vegeta. Their voice was a mixture of each other and made Vegeta look twice before confirming that he looked kinda like Trunks, and sounded kinda like him.
"Trunks?" Vegeta asked.
"NO. Were you even listening. WERE TWO PEOPLE IN ONE BAKA!" they shouted at him, making everyone else who was asleep wake up.
"Dad, I permanently fused with Goten, you are now and forever more related to Goku and he is related to you." Vegeta's worse nightmare came true and he fainted dead away.
They laughed so hard that they powered up slightly before falling to their knees. "Ohh boy, that was fun, I missed doing that."
"You two fused again?" Asked Goku. They nodded, then burst out laughing again as Vegeta woke up, then promptly passed out again. "And it's permanent?" Goku asked.
"No," their strange mixed voices said at the same time. "We just missed doing that to Vegeta. His worse nightmare was being a third class Baka, much like you dad. Not that you're a baka." They said.
Goku just laughed and picked up the fainted Vegeta and they carried those who were awake, but too dazed to fly. When they reached capsule corp. Goten/Trunks decided to play a few more jokes on their 'Dad'.
"Man Vegeta smells, he needs a bath. I wish he didn't have to fight so hard." Bulma said.
"We'll go wake him up for you mom." They said together,
"Hey, why don't you two unfuse?" Gohan asked.
Trunks/Goten face faulted. "I forget how." They said together.
"Don't worry, if they work themselves to the point of passing out, they won't have the energy to hold the form." Goku said,
"To do that we have to get dad angry." Goten/Trunks said, an evil grin.
"Why is that?" asked Bulma confused.
"Well when dad gets angry, he fights hard, and then when I fight him, then I can take maybe a third of my energy out on him. If Gohan, Goku, Krillen, 18 and Yamcha fight at the same time when I'm done with that, that might finish me off." They said.
The truth was that Goten was scared to leave the fuse and face his family and everyone else. Trunks understood this and sympathized with him, going along with the plan.
They walked over to Vegeta, whom was stirring on the couch.
"Hey dad, dad wake up!" Vegeta opened his eyes and groaned. No one had ever heard Vegeta groan except in pain, this one was of living in a living hell. Goten/Trunks laughed.
"Dad, I was playing with you, it was either that or pink hair and moms underwear, but we couldn't find the hair dye so we stuck with your worst nightmare, wanna spar?" they asked calmly. Vegeta got up so fast and dragged them to the gravity room that it left streaks of Kai behind the two beings. They followed to the gravity room door where they heard several shouts.
"I'LL TEACH YOU TO MESS WITH ME LIKE THAT YOU DEMONIC LITTLE HELLIONS! HOW DARE YOU TELL ME THAT I'M RELATED THAT, THAT THIRD CLASS BAKA! GOMA ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME WITH THAT INFORMATION!?" Vegeta roared. AND WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BULMA'S UNDERWEAR!?"
There was a mumbled reply they couldn't hear but what ever it was made Vegeta so pissed off that the gravity room, house, and earth shook. "HEY COOL DAD, DAD JUST WENT ON A NEW LEVEL OF SSJ2!" They shouted together. ~~~~ A few minuets later . . .. ~~~~ They heard a loud bang, and a thud of a body hitting the floor.
The gravity room door opened and they shoved Vegeta out, a sensu hitting his head.
"Next please!" They yelled, the small army went inside the gravity room, prepared to do hell with the saiya-jin.
"Hey be sure to only do fifty times earth's gravity for Krillen and Yamcha." Bulma cried as the door closed . . .. ~~~~~ Later that day . . .. ~~~~~ Goten/Trunks idly swung their legs back and forth thinking. Bulma was nursing the injured group of friends with Chi-Chi and they still hadn't been able to break a sweat fighting them. They thought back and forth and finally they decided that Goten had to come out and tell them. They were getting tired and fast, and it wasn't from the fighting that day. It was emotional, even though they tried to be as unemotional outwardly as possible.
"Hey you two," Bulma called, not sure what she should call them now.
"Hiya mom, whats wrong? We didn't really hurt them that bad did I?" they asked. The voice creeped Bulma out but more then that was the face. It looked like Goku and Vegeta had fused instead of their two sons.
"I have a few questions for Goten, and so does everyone else. Come on inside, Trunks if he fights knock him out and drag him." Bulma warned. Goten laughed inwardly so only Trunks could hear. It was a nervures laugh.
"Aw goma Bulma, I won't run this time. I understand a lot of what I did." Goten/Trunks mumbled.
"Let's go get this over with Goten." Trunks said mentally.
"Okay, I'm coming Mom." Trunks/Goten said. ~~~~~ Inside the house . . .. ~~~~~ Goten/Trunks sat cross-legged on the floor and peered at everybody.
"First question, what happened the night you ran away?" Chi-Chi asked, a quiver in her voice.
Goten/Trunks gave the famous Son Grin and said together, like they had a choice, "I uh, kinda got angry." Trunks decided to say something, the voice sounded more Trunks then Goten at that moment and that's how they could tell who was talking when.
"A kinda angry is an understatement. You got so angry you went SSJ2." Every saiya-jin in the room had shocked expressions on their face.
"Would you please let me answer?" Goten asked a bit peeved. "I didn't want them to know that!" The argument went on for a few minuets before Trunks said that he would fill in the holes where Goten left out. Goten grumbled but grudgingly agreed as long as he could finish what he was saying first.
"Okay, so you got a lot angry, how did you mask a Kai that high, utterly and completely?" Gohan asked.
"Ohh, that, I'm not tellin that cause then Bulma'll wanna know how I did it and then I'll probably be badgered into doing more of it and I won't do it!" Goten said stubbornly. Trunks laughed inwardly.
"Trunks?" Bulma asked.
"Sorry, but I gotta agree with Goten on this one."
After about an hour of arguments, Goten made Bulma swear not to even think about taking what he had apart until he said she could. She grudgingly agreed and Goten pulled out several items from the book-bag slung across his chest, which he had completely forgotten about until she brought up the question.
"Jewelry?" asked Gohan, not understanding.
"Just watch my Kai." Goten grumbled, not happy at all.
Goten made sure everyone was watching his Kai as his pierced his ear with the earring. Like before, their Kai was masked. Goten left it on and didn't take it off.
"It's a Kai damper. It sends out small, false microscopic Kai waves all around my body. It was made do put a kind of shield around the person who wears it, that way no one can find them. Perfect for Spies, or thirteen year old boys who don't want to be found when running away." Goten sighed inwardly.
"Can you take it off now, its creepy." Krillen asked.
Goten looked like he didn't want to, but Trunks did it anyway, he stuck it back in his pocket.
"They don't need to be charged often and I made it from the metal of Buu's Pod. I kinda borrowed it and mixed with pieces of Freiza's ship metal that blocked people from seeking Kai's. I found that the components of the metal were a mixture of earth metals and a few liquids, which I identified at Yiranmo and Garogg. They are plants found on Vegeta-sei I had learned. Vegeta mentioned them once when he was explaining about the ship in a story to me when I was younger." Vegeta nodded in to confirm what he had said.
"Okay, next question, how did you come across the Tenchino's?"
"That was kinda funny, now if you think about it." Goten/Trunks said
"I don't think its funny." Trunks said inwardly to Goten.
"I was flying through the storm and I got hit by lighting. I fell into Grandpa's arms, I wasn't hurt much, but I was dazed. I did my best to forget everything, and after a while, I did." Goten/Trunks shrugged as if it were no big deal, But Goten was crying on the inside and Trunks knew it.
"Its okay Goten, don't worry about it, it was in the past." Trunks consoled to Goten. Suddenly there was a bright flash of light, and the two split forms. Goten immediately fell back and passed out. Trunks was shocked at this.
"He must have used more energy then I did when using that Kamehameha wave." Trunks said absently.
Bra who happened to walk into the room saw Goten passed out on the floor and got worried.
"Come on, he can stay in my room." She said. No one had anything against this but Trunks.
"He's staying in my room because I don't trust you with my best friend." He growled. Pan put a calming hand on his shoulder.
"Its alright Trunks, let her take him, she'll take good care of him, or she'll answer to me." Bra got a glare from Trunks, and Trunks and Pan decided to stay by Goten's bedside and watch for him to wake up. Soon Trunks fell asleep next to Goten and the two were snoring like a bunch of babies. Pan slipped in the bed net to Bra and they fell asleep . . .. ~~~~~ In the morning, after the brief reprise for sleep, Goten had to answer more questions. He couldn't get out of it that easily. He did however dress as he normally did, in baggy cloths, hat turned around backwards, and his earring in place. There was a crash as Trunks' door burst open and Gohan, Goku, and Krillen stood there.
"What?" asked Goten, confused, looking around at Trunks who was doing math at his desk. Trunks shrugged.
"They were like that all morning before you woke up." Trunks said.
Goten shook his head. "I'm not going anywhere. Not as if I could, I mean between Bra and Pan, who," he said very loudly so they could hear, "are hiding under the bed and in the closet for the last hour and a half." There was a grunt and a shirk as Bra fell out of the closet, a heap of junk falling on her, and Pan crawled out from under the bed. "I can't get anywhere without someone following, as you see, I am not going anywhere." Goten finished, shoving his foot in his construction worker boots that Trunks had given him along with the cloths. "Ready for breakfast?" Trunks as Goten and Goten nodded.
The breakfast table was sagging under the weight of all the food but it quickly popped back into its original form when the food disappeared within seconds.
"Okay Goten, more questions." Chi-Chi said as they all headed into the large living room. Goten sat in a corner on the floor even though there was plenty of room on a couch or something, it just felt to weird to do that just yet.
"How are your studies doing?" She asked. Goten riffled through his bag, producing his report cards for the last four years he had saved, not really knowing why.
"I knew I kept the stupied things for a reason. I don't really know because I never look at them. Mom says I got all A's but I don't believe her." Everyone looked at Chi-Chi confused. "Ohh, my Foster Mother, I call her mom cause I forget her first name." They nodded slowly in understanding.
Chi-Chi looked over the report cards, most were hand made but were still legible.
"All right, what did you do when we summoned the dragon. Why did you scream you hated us?" Chi-Chi asked. Goten was silent and thinking when Trunks spoke up for him.
"I remember that, Goten want me to answer?" Trunks asked. Goten looked at Trunks and shook his head.
"When I started remembering everything real fast, I couldn't take it, I ran, feeling all the lonely feelings, the anger the hate, and I just couldn't bare it all in one blow. I was actually not very sane for a week or so." (A/N I omitted that from the story because it was gruesome and against my rating, which I am too lazy too change)
Everyone was a bit shocked, except Vegeta, who knew something to that effect would have happened.
"Okay, what did you do for the four years you were gone?" Asked Goku,
"I started over. I . . ..I worked hard at training. I told my mother and Grandpa that I could fly and I could turn Gold and I was super strong and ate a lot, but they figured that out the first time I did that. I told them that, thats all I really remembered, and soon that came to be true. I knew I hated someone for something but I just couldn't remember why. I was confused, which Trunks helped clear up. I was never around a lot of people at once until I got lonely being around just two people, so my mom let me go to High school. I never expected to run into Pan, Trunks, and Bra all at once. At first I didn't know who they were, they all looked so familiar. Then I heard the Senshi call Trunks's name and I remembered that I hated him for something or another. I guessed that the raven-haired girl was my sister, or a relative's daughter, I'd forgotten about everyone practically and I didn't know. It was hard when everyone started pounding questions at me. I slowly, ever so slowly remembered. Then Vegeta crushed my collar bone, and I got pissed all over again." Goten sighed.
"Okay, when did your tail grow back?" Gohan asked.
"WHAT IS IT WITH SON'S AND HAVING THEIR TAILS GROW BACK!" Vegeta roared, noticing the tail he was trying to forget. Goten had actually forgotten about the tail but then it wrapped itself around his waist.
"Vegeta, you want your tail back so bad?" Asked Goten, getting an idea. Goten gave a very, VERY Vegeta like smirk. Vegeta nodded though. Goten got up and whispered something to Vegeta only he could hear. Vegeta paled a bit but left the house.
Goten roared with laughter. "Ohh this should be good." Goten looked at Trunks and went on with the question. "The night I ran away. It came from turning SSJ2 at such an early age. Vegeta, however is going to have to get his back . . .." they were interrupted by a howl of pain and then it abruptly ended. Vegeta walked in again, a smug smirk on his face as his tail wrapped around his waist.
"I'm surprised I didn't think of it earlier." Vegeta said.
"What'd you do?" Trunks asked.
"He yanked his tail spot really hard, dragging out another tail. It hurts like hell but it works. I had found out how to do that during my uh, more unstable moments when I accidentally stepped on it and ripped it off. I got so angry I just pulled my tail spot and it hurt like hell." Goku, Gohan, Pan, Bra, and Vegeta shivered Vegeta worst of all because he knew what it felt like.
"I mostly just trained and studied. I didn't know why I studied so hard, something in me told me if I didn't do it something bad would happen. I still don't know why." But Chi-Chi's smug smirk rivaled and won out on Vegeta's because she knew exactly what would happen if he didn't study.
"I had a pretty peaceful life for four years, then it became normal again." Goten said. "It's strange being back. I feel I should apologize to you all, except Vegeta, Vegeta what you did was just wrong." Trunks burst out laughing and Vegeta just smirked again. "But I just don't know how." Goten finished, not looking anyone in the eye.
"Its okay Goten, we forgive you, as long as you come home." Chi-Chi said. Goten nodded, "But I have some things to do before I do that. First of all, I gotta get Shin off my back, he's been in my head for the last five minuets, ohh for the love of Dende, YOU TURN IT LEFT NOT RIGHT, ARE YOU TRYING TO BLOW THE UNIVERSE UP? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WON'T FIT I. . .. Dende I'm sorry STOP PUNISHING ME!" Goten suddenly shouted aloud, making everyone jump.
"Then you show me." Shin said, appearing with a frown. Goten grumbled, pulling a screwdriver out of his bag and sitting on the floor in front of Shin, removing the flux from his hands.
"Turn the screwdriver Left, if your turn it right anymore, you'll make the C4 in it explode. It's too compressed for you to just to tighten it. I can't make the flux any smaller. So you'll just have to live with it. I made sure it fits perfectly with the Shield so you shouldn't be complaining . . .." Goten rattled off instructions that only Gohan and Bulma understood. Shin only half understood and tried his best.
When he was done adjusting the flux, Shin smiled and said, "I knew I could get you to fix it if I asked enough." He faded from view as a Kai ball disappeared with Shin. A few seconds later her heard in his head a loud OW! And a grumble never to trust a saiya-jin with a brain again, but Goten just grinned and sent another Kai ball. It floated in mid-air for a second then disappeared. 'ALRIGHT I'M SORRY JEEZ STOP WITH THE KAI BALLS' Shin yelled in everyone's head making them all jump.
"Goten, I think our pranks are gonna be better then ever." Trunks said.
"What are the other things you have to do?" Goku asked.
"Apologizing to mom and Grandpa. Saying goodbye to my friends up in that area, stuff like that. Don worry I'll keep my Kai dampers off for now." He said, removing his earring, which he had to re-pierce that morning for some reason. He removed the earring with a slight sigh, and shoved it in his pocket. He stood once again and shoved his screwdriver in his pocket. Bulma opened her mouth to say something but Goten read his mind.
"Bulma I wouldn't leave it with you if my life depended on it." Goten said as he walked out the door, waving goodbye behind him. He took off into the air. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Hi mom . . ..no I made up with my real family, I wanted to know if I could come by soon, you know, say goodbye and all. Cool, thanks see ya in a few seconds." Goten hung up the phone and held two fingers to his four head and disappeared from Vegeta's sight. Vegeta felt his Kai cut off for a moment then reappeared far away. Vegeta took off flying . . .. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Goten knocked lightly on the door and his mother opened it soon after.
"Hiya mom." He said, hugging his mom.
"I hope your not angry with us." She asked, "They said that they might be able to help you out some if we could get you to go with them, but Vegeta said they only way to do that is to make sure you were out cold. We only wanted to try and help . . .."
"Hey mom, it's okay, it did help, it helped more then you could think of." Goten smiled and kissed his mothers cheek before walking inside. Spotting his Grandpa he went over and hugged the old man. "Hey Grandpa, How you holdin out without me here to make sure you don't kill yourself with Martial Arts?" He asked softly, teasingly.
"Ah your mother does that enough and now I have again both of you to worry about worrying about me."
"Not really, my real mom wants me to come home, and I've decided to honor her wish. I came to say goodbye, I might come by once in a while to check up on ya with friends, but other then that I'll probably not come around. I'm pretty sure Vegeta wants to kick my butt seven times from Vegeta-sei's four moons each, so I won't really have the time, or the energy to fly over her. I wanted to tell you guys I'm sorry for being a burden if I have been for the last four years, and thank you for taking me in and helping me . . .."
"You haven't been a burden and we enjoyed having you here. You can stop by when ever you won't. Vegeta had told us that you might be leaving, so I packed your bag, but I didn't really know with what, so you might want to go and check to make sure you have everything . . .."
"Thanks mom." Goten said, kissing her cheek again. He walked up the stairs to his room and looked around, checking the bag he found all of his inventions he'd ever made, his cloths, which weren't much, and his training things, which also weren't much. He went over to a lose floor board and picked it out, he pulled out several dangerous inventions his mother never new about and put them in the duffel bag, wrapping them in some training Gi's. When he made sure he had everything, he went back down stairs and hugged his parents for the last four years goodbye, he probably wouldn't ever see them again.
"Good luck boy, you know you are always welcome here. And don't blow up anything important, like that short man." Goten grinned and nodded, with a final hug each, he took off into the air, opting to fly to Bulma's. He flew slowly, but raising his Kai a bit just so everyone would know he was still here. He thought as he flew and soon reached Bulma's he knew that his family was already at home, so he entered Bulma's fifth lab, the dangerous one, and found her there.
"Hey Bulma, can I ask a favor?" he looked at her as she jumped, quickly dropping her screwdriver.
"Uh sure, what do you want?" she asked.
"Could you hold these for me please?" he removed the three machines from his duffel, he unwrapped them from the Gi's. "Their really dangerous and I don't think they'll be safe around home. Shin might come and pick them up, but he'll warn me and I'll warn you . . .. And don't try and take them apart, you'll blow up everything here." he warned here. She nodded and took the machines, placing them in a metal cabinet.
"Sure no problem. See ya later." Bulma waved as Goten took off out of the same window he came in. "Goten!" she called before he reached it.
"Ya?" he asked.
"Can I please see that Kai damper!?" she begged. Goten sighed and finally gave in.
"All right, but if I don't get it back in once piece you'll regret the day you were born, you'll all have pink hair!" he threatened playfully. Bulma nodded and pulled the earring from his pocket, he had made a stronger one, so it didn't really matter, but no one would know about that. Even Trunks didn't know it from their fusion. Goten flew from the window before she could ask if he made anymore inventions.
He flew slowly toward home, knowing that Vegeta had been following him for the last few hours he'd been in the air. He spiked his Kai to Vegeta, and Vegeta soon flew up. "So you're not that bad." Vegeta said.
"I could still kick your ass in a heart beat so don't mess with me right now Vegeta, I still can't believe you sunk to drugs to take me away." Goten said, he was still peeved at Vegeta for that.
"Ya well, your damned mother told me if I harmed a hair on your head I'd never see the light of day again, and that meant the Almighty Frying Pan of Doom ©. So don't get your hopes up."
"Vegeta, did you know both Trunks and myself can go SSJ4?" Vegeta paled so fast that it was comical, but Goten held in his laughter and Vegeta shut up, for once. Vegeta was thinking slowly about how to get more powerful when he finally noticed the color of Goten's tail.
"White?" Vegeta mumbled,
"Huh? What do you mean White?" Goten asked.
"There's a legion of a white tailed Demi-Saiya-jin dying three times for a noble cause to save his planet. I just don't remember what the rest of it was." Vegeta shrugged and landed in the yard.
"What do you mean?" Goten asked, landing next to him, but the short Saiya- jin wouldn't say anything else. Goten shrugged and knocked on the door.
"Brat, you live here, just walk in!" Vegeta growled, but Goten waited for the door to open none the less.
"No, I don't live here yet Vegeta." Goten said, then the door opened.
"Hey mom." Goten said, hugging his mother.
"Come in you two, you didn't have to knock Goten." Chi-Chi said.
"Told you brat." Vegeta said, walking past the two.
"Your rooms up stairs to the left, we added it on soon after you left, we used it for Pan, but she, Gohan, and Videl made their own house a few miles from here." Chi-Chi said, beaming like a proud mother. Goten nodded and passed the living room full of family.
"Bye brat." Vegeta took off through the door, flying away, not wanting to be here for the emotional family.
Goten sighed, there went his only excuse for leaving again, he thought to himself, trudging up the stairs. Goten walked up stairs; he hadn't remembered a room on the left side of the house. He opened the only door on that side of the house but the bathroom, and walked into the room. In one corner was a computer, in another, right next to the window, was the bed. The closet was off to the side, near the bed, but a few feet from it. There was a nightstand on the opposite side of the bed. The walls were white and bare. There was a photo of his entire family and the Z-Senshi. There were a few other photos behind it. One single of his dad and Vegeta, Vegeta was in the background powering up a Kai blast. There was another photo of Chi-Chi, Bulma, Trunks, and Gohan. A photo of Pan and Videl alone, sitting on a bench in the park. Then there was a photo of Bra. It was perfectly clear that Bra had not known the photo had been taken. She was smiling, standing on a rock over a mountainside in a training Gi, it was all dark green and black. Her eyes were closed, as if she were prying, or thinking of good thoughts.
"That was taken two years after you left," Videl whispered softly behind him. Goten jumped, he hadn't been paying attention to who was behind him.
"She looks really happy." Goten said.
"She was remembering when you were always trying to make her feel better every time Trunks made her feel bad. That was the second anniversary of your running away. She didn't know when I took the photo. She cried for a while after that and told me how you would always defend her from Trunks."
"How old is she here?" he asked.
"Twelve. She still has a crush on you." Videl smiled, she pointed to the photo of herself and Pan. "That was also taken the same day, in the morning though, not as dusk." She said. "Pan was sad for never really knowing her uncle."
Goten was feeling a bit bad now. "And that one, the one with Vegeta making the Kai ball, he was angry because no one wanted to spar that day. The other was taken over the years. Not many of us wanted to really do anything on the day you ran away. We were all worried when the dragon said that you were alive, but couldn't be brought against your will to us. We didn't know what to do. It's a great relief that you're home again," Videl said. Goten just nodded his head, sadder for putting everyone through this.
"I'm really sorry Videl, I just didn't know, I didn't understand . . .."
"Hey its okay, why don't you come down stairs, and talk with everyone. Were really curious as to how you invented the Kai dampers and any other inventions." Videl smiled brightly.
"I'll be down in a few minuets, let me put my stuff away first." Videl nodded and left, but Goten didn't put his stuff away, he was staring at the girl in the photo. She was really pretty . . ..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Okay cool! This is the End! Yes, the end. Well, for this story anyway. ::Evil Grin:: Stay tuned for other stories concerning Goten and Trunks. The Next story coming out is about Gohan, but after that its Goten falls in love! Please R&R and tell me what you think! THIS STORY IS OFFICALLY OVER! Tabi Chan
"Alone. So alone." Goten's thoughts "Pain, lose, GOTEN COME BACK!" Trunks thoughts. Both of their minds had combined. Feelings that had been bottled up for years unleashed in the two as they attacked the monster over and over again.
"Disbelief, pain, sorrow, happiness, joy, anger, hatred." Goten's mind reeled with Trunks' thoughts about everything. He was happy that he was back, but angered that Goten wouldn't stay.
Trunks decided to look into Goten's past to see what he had missed in the years.
Goten growing up with the strange people, happiness, and anger though, at them for ignoring him . . ..
The fight raged, the monster got angry for being played with and threw random punches.
Together, Trunks used an attack he didn't know, the Kamehameha wave. With their combine powers the Kai shot off the records at the monster disintegrated. Absently the two Fused Saiya-jins removed a bag of sensu beans Trunks had been carrying on him and started reviving the fallen warriors. Then they lined up the still sleeping bodies and awaited them to wake up.
The two sat as one and thought threw their thoughts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I understand why you went Goten, you were angry and tired of being pushed around. And I understand why you were so angry. I'm sorry Goten, I really am. I'm sure the others didn't mean it. And I've yet to see Vegeta turn down a fight." Trunks thought to Goten.
Goten immediately Goten brought up the memories of Vegeta. ~~~~~~~~ "Go away brat, I don't have time to train with you now."
"Brat how many times have I told you No. I'm not one to turn down a good spar, but I'm too busy right now with my own training."
"Brat . . .. NO! DON'T ASK AGAIN OR I'LL BLAST YOU INTO THE NEXT DIMENSION." ~~~~~~~~ "Now I've seen just about everything. Look Goten, at what happened when you left." ~~~~~~~~~ Chi-Chi sat crying so hard that she could barely breath. Gohan and Videl try comforting her but to no avail. "My babies gone! I can't take it! First Goku now Goten. Gohan I forbid you to ever fight again!"
Gohan had exchanged looks with Videl. "We'll find him mom don't worry about it. Were all gonna look for him. We don't know what happened. His Kai just disappeared so maybe he died somehow? I don't know but we could use to dragon balls to wish him back." Gohan suggested.
Chi-Chi nodded, and stopped crying for five seconds. "WHO KILLED MY BABY!" She started tears afresh. "Did who go through a lot of pain? Who would do such a thing?"
Trunks sat in a corner, much like Vegeta's but it held more shadows so no one could see him cry for his lost friend, "I'll kill who ever did it." Trunks vowed in a strangely calm voice that scared even Vegeta. No one could see Trunks face, but everyone in the room went silent as they heard him speek from the heart. "I'll kill them and make them pay. They won't live long after I'm done with them. You'll see." With that Trunks jumped out of the window and wasn't seen or heard from in months. When he finally came home, he saw his mother had collected all the dragon balls.
"Were ready, we were waiting for you to come home, we were hoping you may have found something." Trunks shook his head. Bulma sighed and everyone went outside.
"I SUMMON YOU DRAGON BY THE USE OF YOUR NAME SHERLING!" Bulma shouted, the dragon appeared and looked down at the mortals.
"State your two wishes and I will grant them in my power." The dragon boomed.
"We wish to bring Son Goten back from the dead!" Trunks shouted.
"That cannot be, for he is not dead." The dragon boomed. Everyone was shocked.
"We wish to know how we can find Goten!" Trunks shouted the wish before anyone could stop him. The dragon looked at the boy and blinked his eyes.
"Look for him in your hearts, you will find him there. He will return one day. State your second wish."
"We wish that Son Goten be brought here." Bulma said.
"That cannot be done, I cannot bring him against his will." The dragon said. "State your wish."
"Where is Goten on this earth." Bulma rephrased the question. "To the west." Was all the dragon said before disappearing. Trunks, without a backward glance, left before anyone could stop him. For one long year he searched the west and could not find him. Chi-Chi cried and made a second empty grave next to that of her husbands. She didn't speek to anyone for a very long, long time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` "I didn't know they cared about me that much, nor you Trunks." Goten said.
"Hey I didn't care about you as much as Bra did, she had a fit. You know she's had a crush on you forever." Trunks said with a small laugh.
"We must help the others, they are waking up." Goten thought to Trunks.
"Right." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Who the hell are you," Was the first thing Vegeta said. The two had powered down and looked very strange.
Their hair was dark gray blue. Their arms were well muscled and they were taller then they had been.
"We are one, one and a whole, we are one of two people." The two decided to pick up with their friendship where they had left off, playing practical and confusing jokes on Vegeta. Their voice was a mixture of each other and made Vegeta look twice before confirming that he looked kinda like Trunks, and sounded kinda like him.
"Trunks?" Vegeta asked.
"NO. Were you even listening. WERE TWO PEOPLE IN ONE BAKA!" they shouted at him, making everyone else who was asleep wake up.
"Dad, I permanently fused with Goten, you are now and forever more related to Goku and he is related to you." Vegeta's worse nightmare came true and he fainted dead away.
They laughed so hard that they powered up slightly before falling to their knees. "Ohh boy, that was fun, I missed doing that."
"You two fused again?" Asked Goku. They nodded, then burst out laughing again as Vegeta woke up, then promptly passed out again. "And it's permanent?" Goku asked.
"No," their strange mixed voices said at the same time. "We just missed doing that to Vegeta. His worse nightmare was being a third class Baka, much like you dad. Not that you're a baka." They said.
Goku just laughed and picked up the fainted Vegeta and they carried those who were awake, but too dazed to fly. When they reached capsule corp. Goten/Trunks decided to play a few more jokes on their 'Dad'.
"Man Vegeta smells, he needs a bath. I wish he didn't have to fight so hard." Bulma said.
"We'll go wake him up for you mom." They said together,
"Hey, why don't you two unfuse?" Gohan asked.
Trunks/Goten face faulted. "I forget how." They said together.
"Don't worry, if they work themselves to the point of passing out, they won't have the energy to hold the form." Goku said,
"To do that we have to get dad angry." Goten/Trunks said, an evil grin.
"Why is that?" asked Bulma confused.
"Well when dad gets angry, he fights hard, and then when I fight him, then I can take maybe a third of my energy out on him. If Gohan, Goku, Krillen, 18 and Yamcha fight at the same time when I'm done with that, that might finish me off." They said.
The truth was that Goten was scared to leave the fuse and face his family and everyone else. Trunks understood this and sympathized with him, going along with the plan.
They walked over to Vegeta, whom was stirring on the couch.
"Hey dad, dad wake up!" Vegeta opened his eyes and groaned. No one had ever heard Vegeta groan except in pain, this one was of living in a living hell. Goten/Trunks laughed.
"Dad, I was playing with you, it was either that or pink hair and moms underwear, but we couldn't find the hair dye so we stuck with your worst nightmare, wanna spar?" they asked calmly. Vegeta got up so fast and dragged them to the gravity room that it left streaks of Kai behind the two beings. They followed to the gravity room door where they heard several shouts.
"I'LL TEACH YOU TO MESS WITH ME LIKE THAT YOU DEMONIC LITTLE HELLIONS! HOW DARE YOU TELL ME THAT I'M RELATED THAT, THAT THIRD CLASS BAKA! GOMA ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME WITH THAT INFORMATION!?" Vegeta roared. AND WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BULMA'S UNDERWEAR!?"
There was a mumbled reply they couldn't hear but what ever it was made Vegeta so pissed off that the gravity room, house, and earth shook. "HEY COOL DAD, DAD JUST WENT ON A NEW LEVEL OF SSJ2!" They shouted together. ~~~~ A few minuets later . . .. ~~~~ They heard a loud bang, and a thud of a body hitting the floor.
The gravity room door opened and they shoved Vegeta out, a sensu hitting his head.
"Next please!" They yelled, the small army went inside the gravity room, prepared to do hell with the saiya-jin.
"Hey be sure to only do fifty times earth's gravity for Krillen and Yamcha." Bulma cried as the door closed . . .. ~~~~~ Later that day . . .. ~~~~~ Goten/Trunks idly swung their legs back and forth thinking. Bulma was nursing the injured group of friends with Chi-Chi and they still hadn't been able to break a sweat fighting them. They thought back and forth and finally they decided that Goten had to come out and tell them. They were getting tired and fast, and it wasn't from the fighting that day. It was emotional, even though they tried to be as unemotional outwardly as possible.
"Hey you two," Bulma called, not sure what she should call them now.
"Hiya mom, whats wrong? We didn't really hurt them that bad did I?" they asked. The voice creeped Bulma out but more then that was the face. It looked like Goku and Vegeta had fused instead of their two sons.
"I have a few questions for Goten, and so does everyone else. Come on inside, Trunks if he fights knock him out and drag him." Bulma warned. Goten laughed inwardly so only Trunks could hear. It was a nervures laugh.
"Aw goma Bulma, I won't run this time. I understand a lot of what I did." Goten/Trunks mumbled.
"Let's go get this over with Goten." Trunks said mentally.
"Okay, I'm coming Mom." Trunks/Goten said. ~~~~~ Inside the house . . .. ~~~~~ Goten/Trunks sat cross-legged on the floor and peered at everybody.
"First question, what happened the night you ran away?" Chi-Chi asked, a quiver in her voice.
Goten/Trunks gave the famous Son Grin and said together, like they had a choice, "I uh, kinda got angry." Trunks decided to say something, the voice sounded more Trunks then Goten at that moment and that's how they could tell who was talking when.
"A kinda angry is an understatement. You got so angry you went SSJ2." Every saiya-jin in the room had shocked expressions on their face.
"Would you please let me answer?" Goten asked a bit peeved. "I didn't want them to know that!" The argument went on for a few minuets before Trunks said that he would fill in the holes where Goten left out. Goten grumbled but grudgingly agreed as long as he could finish what he was saying first.
"Okay, so you got a lot angry, how did you mask a Kai that high, utterly and completely?" Gohan asked.
"Ohh, that, I'm not tellin that cause then Bulma'll wanna know how I did it and then I'll probably be badgered into doing more of it and I won't do it!" Goten said stubbornly. Trunks laughed inwardly.
"Trunks?" Bulma asked.
"Sorry, but I gotta agree with Goten on this one."
After about an hour of arguments, Goten made Bulma swear not to even think about taking what he had apart until he said she could. She grudgingly agreed and Goten pulled out several items from the book-bag slung across his chest, which he had completely forgotten about until she brought up the question.
"Jewelry?" asked Gohan, not understanding.
"Just watch my Kai." Goten grumbled, not happy at all.
Goten made sure everyone was watching his Kai as his pierced his ear with the earring. Like before, their Kai was masked. Goten left it on and didn't take it off.
"It's a Kai damper. It sends out small, false microscopic Kai waves all around my body. It was made do put a kind of shield around the person who wears it, that way no one can find them. Perfect for Spies, or thirteen year old boys who don't want to be found when running away." Goten sighed inwardly.
"Can you take it off now, its creepy." Krillen asked.
Goten looked like he didn't want to, but Trunks did it anyway, he stuck it back in his pocket.
"They don't need to be charged often and I made it from the metal of Buu's Pod. I kinda borrowed it and mixed with pieces of Freiza's ship metal that blocked people from seeking Kai's. I found that the components of the metal were a mixture of earth metals and a few liquids, which I identified at Yiranmo and Garogg. They are plants found on Vegeta-sei I had learned. Vegeta mentioned them once when he was explaining about the ship in a story to me when I was younger." Vegeta nodded in to confirm what he had said.
"Okay, next question, how did you come across the Tenchino's?"
"That was kinda funny, now if you think about it." Goten/Trunks said
"I don't think its funny." Trunks said inwardly to Goten.
"I was flying through the storm and I got hit by lighting. I fell into Grandpa's arms, I wasn't hurt much, but I was dazed. I did my best to forget everything, and after a while, I did." Goten/Trunks shrugged as if it were no big deal, But Goten was crying on the inside and Trunks knew it.
"Its okay Goten, don't worry about it, it was in the past." Trunks consoled to Goten. Suddenly there was a bright flash of light, and the two split forms. Goten immediately fell back and passed out. Trunks was shocked at this.
"He must have used more energy then I did when using that Kamehameha wave." Trunks said absently.
Bra who happened to walk into the room saw Goten passed out on the floor and got worried.
"Come on, he can stay in my room." She said. No one had anything against this but Trunks.
"He's staying in my room because I don't trust you with my best friend." He growled. Pan put a calming hand on his shoulder.
"Its alright Trunks, let her take him, she'll take good care of him, or she'll answer to me." Bra got a glare from Trunks, and Trunks and Pan decided to stay by Goten's bedside and watch for him to wake up. Soon Trunks fell asleep next to Goten and the two were snoring like a bunch of babies. Pan slipped in the bed net to Bra and they fell asleep . . .. ~~~~~ In the morning, after the brief reprise for sleep, Goten had to answer more questions. He couldn't get out of it that easily. He did however dress as he normally did, in baggy cloths, hat turned around backwards, and his earring in place. There was a crash as Trunks' door burst open and Gohan, Goku, and Krillen stood there.
"What?" asked Goten, confused, looking around at Trunks who was doing math at his desk. Trunks shrugged.
"They were like that all morning before you woke up." Trunks said.
Goten shook his head. "I'm not going anywhere. Not as if I could, I mean between Bra and Pan, who," he said very loudly so they could hear, "are hiding under the bed and in the closet for the last hour and a half." There was a grunt and a shirk as Bra fell out of the closet, a heap of junk falling on her, and Pan crawled out from under the bed. "I can't get anywhere without someone following, as you see, I am not going anywhere." Goten finished, shoving his foot in his construction worker boots that Trunks had given him along with the cloths. "Ready for breakfast?" Trunks as Goten and Goten nodded.
The breakfast table was sagging under the weight of all the food but it quickly popped back into its original form when the food disappeared within seconds.
"Okay Goten, more questions." Chi-Chi said as they all headed into the large living room. Goten sat in a corner on the floor even though there was plenty of room on a couch or something, it just felt to weird to do that just yet.
"How are your studies doing?" She asked. Goten riffled through his bag, producing his report cards for the last four years he had saved, not really knowing why.
"I knew I kept the stupied things for a reason. I don't really know because I never look at them. Mom says I got all A's but I don't believe her." Everyone looked at Chi-Chi confused. "Ohh, my Foster Mother, I call her mom cause I forget her first name." They nodded slowly in understanding.
Chi-Chi looked over the report cards, most were hand made but were still legible.
"All right, what did you do when we summoned the dragon. Why did you scream you hated us?" Chi-Chi asked. Goten was silent and thinking when Trunks spoke up for him.
"I remember that, Goten want me to answer?" Trunks asked. Goten looked at Trunks and shook his head.
"When I started remembering everything real fast, I couldn't take it, I ran, feeling all the lonely feelings, the anger the hate, and I just couldn't bare it all in one blow. I was actually not very sane for a week or so." (A/N I omitted that from the story because it was gruesome and against my rating, which I am too lazy too change)
Everyone was a bit shocked, except Vegeta, who knew something to that effect would have happened.
"Okay, what did you do for the four years you were gone?" Asked Goku,
"I started over. I . . ..I worked hard at training. I told my mother and Grandpa that I could fly and I could turn Gold and I was super strong and ate a lot, but they figured that out the first time I did that. I told them that, thats all I really remembered, and soon that came to be true. I knew I hated someone for something but I just couldn't remember why. I was confused, which Trunks helped clear up. I was never around a lot of people at once until I got lonely being around just two people, so my mom let me go to High school. I never expected to run into Pan, Trunks, and Bra all at once. At first I didn't know who they were, they all looked so familiar. Then I heard the Senshi call Trunks's name and I remembered that I hated him for something or another. I guessed that the raven-haired girl was my sister, or a relative's daughter, I'd forgotten about everyone practically and I didn't know. It was hard when everyone started pounding questions at me. I slowly, ever so slowly remembered. Then Vegeta crushed my collar bone, and I got pissed all over again." Goten sighed.
"Okay, when did your tail grow back?" Gohan asked.
"WHAT IS IT WITH SON'S AND HAVING THEIR TAILS GROW BACK!" Vegeta roared, noticing the tail he was trying to forget. Goten had actually forgotten about the tail but then it wrapped itself around his waist.
"Vegeta, you want your tail back so bad?" Asked Goten, getting an idea. Goten gave a very, VERY Vegeta like smirk. Vegeta nodded though. Goten got up and whispered something to Vegeta only he could hear. Vegeta paled a bit but left the house.
Goten roared with laughter. "Ohh this should be good." Goten looked at Trunks and went on with the question. "The night I ran away. It came from turning SSJ2 at such an early age. Vegeta, however is going to have to get his back . . .." they were interrupted by a howl of pain and then it abruptly ended. Vegeta walked in again, a smug smirk on his face as his tail wrapped around his waist.
"I'm surprised I didn't think of it earlier." Vegeta said.
"What'd you do?" Trunks asked.
"He yanked his tail spot really hard, dragging out another tail. It hurts like hell but it works. I had found out how to do that during my uh, more unstable moments when I accidentally stepped on it and ripped it off. I got so angry I just pulled my tail spot and it hurt like hell." Goku, Gohan, Pan, Bra, and Vegeta shivered Vegeta worst of all because he knew what it felt like.
"I mostly just trained and studied. I didn't know why I studied so hard, something in me told me if I didn't do it something bad would happen. I still don't know why." But Chi-Chi's smug smirk rivaled and won out on Vegeta's because she knew exactly what would happen if he didn't study.
"I had a pretty peaceful life for four years, then it became normal again." Goten said. "It's strange being back. I feel I should apologize to you all, except Vegeta, Vegeta what you did was just wrong." Trunks burst out laughing and Vegeta just smirked again. "But I just don't know how." Goten finished, not looking anyone in the eye.
"Its okay Goten, we forgive you, as long as you come home." Chi-Chi said. Goten nodded, "But I have some things to do before I do that. First of all, I gotta get Shin off my back, he's been in my head for the last five minuets, ohh for the love of Dende, YOU TURN IT LEFT NOT RIGHT, ARE YOU TRYING TO BLOW THE UNIVERSE UP? WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WON'T FIT I. . .. Dende I'm sorry STOP PUNISHING ME!" Goten suddenly shouted aloud, making everyone jump.
"Then you show me." Shin said, appearing with a frown. Goten grumbled, pulling a screwdriver out of his bag and sitting on the floor in front of Shin, removing the flux from his hands.
"Turn the screwdriver Left, if your turn it right anymore, you'll make the C4 in it explode. It's too compressed for you to just to tighten it. I can't make the flux any smaller. So you'll just have to live with it. I made sure it fits perfectly with the Shield so you shouldn't be complaining . . .." Goten rattled off instructions that only Gohan and Bulma understood. Shin only half understood and tried his best.
When he was done adjusting the flux, Shin smiled and said, "I knew I could get you to fix it if I asked enough." He faded from view as a Kai ball disappeared with Shin. A few seconds later her heard in his head a loud OW! And a grumble never to trust a saiya-jin with a brain again, but Goten just grinned and sent another Kai ball. It floated in mid-air for a second then disappeared. 'ALRIGHT I'M SORRY JEEZ STOP WITH THE KAI BALLS' Shin yelled in everyone's head making them all jump.
"Goten, I think our pranks are gonna be better then ever." Trunks said.
"What are the other things you have to do?" Goku asked.
"Apologizing to mom and Grandpa. Saying goodbye to my friends up in that area, stuff like that. Don worry I'll keep my Kai dampers off for now." He said, removing his earring, which he had to re-pierce that morning for some reason. He removed the earring with a slight sigh, and shoved it in his pocket. He stood once again and shoved his screwdriver in his pocket. Bulma opened her mouth to say something but Goten read his mind.
"Bulma I wouldn't leave it with you if my life depended on it." Goten said as he walked out the door, waving goodbye behind him. He took off into the air. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Hi mom . . ..no I made up with my real family, I wanted to know if I could come by soon, you know, say goodbye and all. Cool, thanks see ya in a few seconds." Goten hung up the phone and held two fingers to his four head and disappeared from Vegeta's sight. Vegeta felt his Kai cut off for a moment then reappeared far away. Vegeta took off flying . . .. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Goten knocked lightly on the door and his mother opened it soon after.
"Hiya mom." He said, hugging his mom.
"I hope your not angry with us." She asked, "They said that they might be able to help you out some if we could get you to go with them, but Vegeta said they only way to do that is to make sure you were out cold. We only wanted to try and help . . .."
"Hey mom, it's okay, it did help, it helped more then you could think of." Goten smiled and kissed his mothers cheek before walking inside. Spotting his Grandpa he went over and hugged the old man. "Hey Grandpa, How you holdin out without me here to make sure you don't kill yourself with Martial Arts?" He asked softly, teasingly.
"Ah your mother does that enough and now I have again both of you to worry about worrying about me."
"Not really, my real mom wants me to come home, and I've decided to honor her wish. I came to say goodbye, I might come by once in a while to check up on ya with friends, but other then that I'll probably not come around. I'm pretty sure Vegeta wants to kick my butt seven times from Vegeta-sei's four moons each, so I won't really have the time, or the energy to fly over her. I wanted to tell you guys I'm sorry for being a burden if I have been for the last four years, and thank you for taking me in and helping me . . .."
"You haven't been a burden and we enjoyed having you here. You can stop by when ever you won't. Vegeta had told us that you might be leaving, so I packed your bag, but I didn't really know with what, so you might want to go and check to make sure you have everything . . .."
"Thanks mom." Goten said, kissing her cheek again. He walked up the stairs to his room and looked around, checking the bag he found all of his inventions he'd ever made, his cloths, which weren't much, and his training things, which also weren't much. He went over to a lose floor board and picked it out, he pulled out several dangerous inventions his mother never new about and put them in the duffel bag, wrapping them in some training Gi's. When he made sure he had everything, he went back down stairs and hugged his parents for the last four years goodbye, he probably wouldn't ever see them again.
"Good luck boy, you know you are always welcome here. And don't blow up anything important, like that short man." Goten grinned and nodded, with a final hug each, he took off into the air, opting to fly to Bulma's. He flew slowly, but raising his Kai a bit just so everyone would know he was still here. He thought as he flew and soon reached Bulma's he knew that his family was already at home, so he entered Bulma's fifth lab, the dangerous one, and found her there.
"Hey Bulma, can I ask a favor?" he looked at her as she jumped, quickly dropping her screwdriver.
"Uh sure, what do you want?" she asked.
"Could you hold these for me please?" he removed the three machines from his duffel, he unwrapped them from the Gi's. "Their really dangerous and I don't think they'll be safe around home. Shin might come and pick them up, but he'll warn me and I'll warn you . . .. And don't try and take them apart, you'll blow up everything here." he warned here. She nodded and took the machines, placing them in a metal cabinet.
"Sure no problem. See ya later." Bulma waved as Goten took off out of the same window he came in. "Goten!" she called before he reached it.
"Ya?" he asked.
"Can I please see that Kai damper!?" she begged. Goten sighed and finally gave in.
"All right, but if I don't get it back in once piece you'll regret the day you were born, you'll all have pink hair!" he threatened playfully. Bulma nodded and pulled the earring from his pocket, he had made a stronger one, so it didn't really matter, but no one would know about that. Even Trunks didn't know it from their fusion. Goten flew from the window before she could ask if he made anymore inventions.
He flew slowly toward home, knowing that Vegeta had been following him for the last few hours he'd been in the air. He spiked his Kai to Vegeta, and Vegeta soon flew up. "So you're not that bad." Vegeta said.
"I could still kick your ass in a heart beat so don't mess with me right now Vegeta, I still can't believe you sunk to drugs to take me away." Goten said, he was still peeved at Vegeta for that.
"Ya well, your damned mother told me if I harmed a hair on your head I'd never see the light of day again, and that meant the Almighty Frying Pan of Doom ©. So don't get your hopes up."
"Vegeta, did you know both Trunks and myself can go SSJ4?" Vegeta paled so fast that it was comical, but Goten held in his laughter and Vegeta shut up, for once. Vegeta was thinking slowly about how to get more powerful when he finally noticed the color of Goten's tail.
"White?" Vegeta mumbled,
"Huh? What do you mean White?" Goten asked.
"There's a legion of a white tailed Demi-Saiya-jin dying three times for a noble cause to save his planet. I just don't remember what the rest of it was." Vegeta shrugged and landed in the yard.
"What do you mean?" Goten asked, landing next to him, but the short Saiya- jin wouldn't say anything else. Goten shrugged and knocked on the door.
"Brat, you live here, just walk in!" Vegeta growled, but Goten waited for the door to open none the less.
"No, I don't live here yet Vegeta." Goten said, then the door opened.
"Hey mom." Goten said, hugging his mother.
"Come in you two, you didn't have to knock Goten." Chi-Chi said.
"Told you brat." Vegeta said, walking past the two.
"Your rooms up stairs to the left, we added it on soon after you left, we used it for Pan, but she, Gohan, and Videl made their own house a few miles from here." Chi-Chi said, beaming like a proud mother. Goten nodded and passed the living room full of family.
"Bye brat." Vegeta took off through the door, flying away, not wanting to be here for the emotional family.
Goten sighed, there went his only excuse for leaving again, he thought to himself, trudging up the stairs. Goten walked up stairs; he hadn't remembered a room on the left side of the house. He opened the only door on that side of the house but the bathroom, and walked into the room. In one corner was a computer, in another, right next to the window, was the bed. The closet was off to the side, near the bed, but a few feet from it. There was a nightstand on the opposite side of the bed. The walls were white and bare. There was a photo of his entire family and the Z-Senshi. There were a few other photos behind it. One single of his dad and Vegeta, Vegeta was in the background powering up a Kai blast. There was another photo of Chi-Chi, Bulma, Trunks, and Gohan. A photo of Pan and Videl alone, sitting on a bench in the park. Then there was a photo of Bra. It was perfectly clear that Bra had not known the photo had been taken. She was smiling, standing on a rock over a mountainside in a training Gi, it was all dark green and black. Her eyes were closed, as if she were prying, or thinking of good thoughts.
"That was taken two years after you left," Videl whispered softly behind him. Goten jumped, he hadn't been paying attention to who was behind him.
"She looks really happy." Goten said.
"She was remembering when you were always trying to make her feel better every time Trunks made her feel bad. That was the second anniversary of your running away. She didn't know when I took the photo. She cried for a while after that and told me how you would always defend her from Trunks."
"How old is she here?" he asked.
"Twelve. She still has a crush on you." Videl smiled, she pointed to the photo of herself and Pan. "That was also taken the same day, in the morning though, not as dusk." She said. "Pan was sad for never really knowing her uncle."
Goten was feeling a bit bad now. "And that one, the one with Vegeta making the Kai ball, he was angry because no one wanted to spar that day. The other was taken over the years. Not many of us wanted to really do anything on the day you ran away. We were all worried when the dragon said that you were alive, but couldn't be brought against your will to us. We didn't know what to do. It's a great relief that you're home again," Videl said. Goten just nodded his head, sadder for putting everyone through this.
"I'm really sorry Videl, I just didn't know, I didn't understand . . .."
