Chapter IV
New Beginnings
"Now I see the change, Leaving us it seems so strange
I am hoping I can find, Where to leave my hurt behind
All the shit I seem to take, All alone I seem to break
I am living the best I can, Does this make me not a man"
"Alone I Break" KoRn
This is a new beginning for me. My father and I have reconciled. He's got me into training again. One of the times we met he said that I didn't look very good. Scrawny, pale. We train on my off days. Yep I have a job now, and my own place again. This apartment is a lot nicer than my last one. This one actually has a separate living and bedroom. My last place the only separate room was the bathroom, which was tiny. I can actually breath on this place with out fearing of running out of room. On to my job. I'm a maintenance assistant for a school. I make just enough for the place, bills, and a little extra for me. That gives me about $80 of mad money for two weeks. It's not bad. I train with my father once a week, it would be twice, but I haven't been to the Breifs' since I came back. I'm not sure how Trunks, much less Vegita, would react. I'm kinda afraid of what they would do. Seeing how I almost killed Trunks the last time I saw him.
(Author's POV) The Christmas party that Bulma throws every year for the Z-Wariors. I was very nervous for this one. I haven't seen any of the others in almost seven years now. In a way it kinda saddens me to know that my ex-best friend had thought that he was dead. I heard from Gohan that they said that I was killed in a gunfight or something like that. Which made me that much more angrier with that damn woman. I was nervous as hell. Gohan left and I stayed behind. Something my father was planning. Which was good for me. If I were unwanted I would simply leave and let them be in their happiness. I didn't have a right to take that away from them. I did that once and I wasn't gonna do that again. My father has said that he would try his best to show his support when I got there. In fact he said he wanted me to be his Christmas present to everybody. So I was to lay low till he instant transmissioned and got me. But just incase I didn't get to stay I wrote a letter to Trunks and was gonna leave on his bed when I had to leave.
*~*~*
All the Z-warriors were having a good time. Goku and Vegita were the highlight of the party. Goku stole some of Vegita's stake, and for those who don't know, you just don't do that. It came down to Vegita chasing Goku throughout the house. A skirmish that Goku ultimately won because of the instant transmission technique, and the fact that Bulma said that if Vegita didn't stop she would "redecorate" the gravity chamber. Vegita went to the corner of the room and stood, leaning against the wall muttering Sayian profanities.
Then came time to exchange gifts.
Goku stood up in front of everyone and got their attention.
"Guys I have a very, very special gift to all of you." he said with a glint in his eye.
" What is it?" someone asked
"A life" was all Goku would say before he disappeared after saying, "hold on just a minute guys."
~*~*~
My father appeared before me with the classic Son smile.
"You ready?" he asked.
"Yeah" I said finishing off the cigarette I had.
"I didn't think you smoked?" he asked
"Not for four and a half years" I said.
My father dropped it after that. He knew I was nervous.
"Time for the fun to begin" I said sarcastically
My father put his hand on my shoulder "Don't worry son, everything will be alright."
I nodded half believing what he said, and with a flash we disappeared.
I was greeted with gasp, and looks of shock.
"B,.. but your.. Dead." Trunks managed to say.
"I'm not dead that was just what my dear mother decided to tell you when I left." the next thing I knew Trunks jumped at me fist raised. I was on the floor in an instant with Trunks straddling me. He had his hands firmly around my neck.
"HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOUR FACE HERE!!!? NOT AFTER WHAT YOU DID!! YOU SHOULD BE DEAD!!" I saw a tear in the corners of Trunks' eyes "not after what you did to me, my family, the Z-warriors, if you weren't dead you should stayed gone!"
My father finally pulled Trunks off of me. I go up and looked around the room. I saw so many faces, angry ones, and some were still shocked, but one stood out. It was Krillin's. His was sad. Not doubt my father had told him of my coming back, and was okay with it.
"I know I could never be forgiven for some of the things I've done," I started in a monotone voice "This world's about second chances, and bettering ones self. But if I'm that hated, that unwanted, then I'll leave. I'm sorry I ever came back, and I'm sorry I disrupted your happy lives, and finally I'm sorry for the pain I put you through by being hear." I finished and walked out of the door. I flew up to Trunks room and left the letter on his pillow
~*~*~
Bulma had been in the kitchen and not heard any thing the door opened. She walked in to the deathly silence into the living room. "Hey guys, you'll probably think I'm crazy, but I think I just saw Goten"
"That WAS Goten, Woman" Vegita sated coldly "He's lucky I didn't blast his fucking head off"
"What was he doing here? And where did Chichi go?" Bulma asked
"The other woman split. Why don't you ask Kakkarot? He's the one who brought him hear."
Everyone in the room turned to look at Goku.
"I'm sure you guys want an explanation" Goku started "Well he met up with Gohan a while back. He eventually moved in with Gohan after loosing his job and place. He now has his own place job and so on and so forth. He's trying his hardest to make up for what he's done. He brought himself from the worst of the worst to where he is now. He's worked hard."
The room looked to Gohan like he has some serious mental issues. This of course pissed off the Gohan.
"So what. I love my brother. I gave him a second chance. You Vegita of all people should know of second chances. But if your all that hate full of him then that is the same as hating me, my wife, and my daughter, and as Goten said if I'm that hated them I'll leave." Gohan gathered his family and left. Pan left with lots of questions. She didn't want to leave Bra for they were both good friends.
