"How is he?" Chi-Chi asked.
"He doesn't look too good. It's best if we just leave him. I said.
"Is he ill?" Trunk asked.
"Yeah, he is," I answered," It's best if we just leave him to rest."
"Yeah, but he was alright ten minutes ago." Trunks said.
"I know, just telling you about blood didn't used to make him throw up, in fact, he always wanted to know the gory details of any story." I answered.
"I remember earlier on, he said something about not being well recently, but he's always been alright when he's been with me!" Trunks asked, puzzled.
An hour later, I went to check on Goten. He was asleep, but he looked no better. I closed the door again quietly. As soon as I walked away, I heard a low voice…
"Danny, is that you?" Goten asked, weakly.
"Yeah, don't worry."
"Come here, please." He said. I walked back into Goten's room.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Can I have a glass of water, please?" he asked.
"Yeah, sure!" I answered. I walked downstairs and filled a glass tumbler full of water. I went back to Goten's bedroom. He sat up slowly and took the glass.
"How are you feeling now?" I asked.
"A tiny bit better, thanks." He said taking slow sips from the glass tumbler.
"You should be alright tomorrow morning." I answered.
"You think so?"
"Yeah, I'm sure this won't be for long." I answered again.
The next day, Goten was alright, in fact he was livelier than he has ever been! I was going to go back to the abandoned house to investigate more, but I decided to not go because of the hyperactive condition that Goten was in. I was going to wait until he calmed down a bit…
"Danny, can you and me have a practice spar?" Goten shouted.
"No, I think I'll become the worst off." I said.
"Aw, come on!" He shouted again.
"NO!" I shouted back.
"No need to shout, moody!"
"I'm not in a mood." I said.
"Yes you are."
"I'm not gonna argue with you!"
"Well be quiet."
I thought to myself "God, please make this stop! He's driving me crazy!"
The next day, Goten was, finally, back to his usual self. I was just thinking about Goten's condition over the past two days. Two days ago, Goten was ill and almost dying (literally). He could hardly move. Yesterday, he was running about like a headless chicken! Something wasn't adding up. Since I found him unconscious in that house, weird stuff has started to happen to him. I decided to confront him man to…well…boy.
"Goten, could I have a word?"
"Yeah, what?"
"Do you remember who hurt you in that weird house?"
"No, sorry."
"Well do you remember your hyperactive mood yesterday?"
"Was I hyperactive yesterday?"
"Do you remember what was wrong with you two days ago?"
"No…"
"This is getting weird." I thought loudly.
"Why, what was wrong?" Goten asked, interested in what the situation was.
"Oh, nothing." I said. Goten folded his arms.
"Danny…What happened?" Goten asked, impatiently and tapping his foot on the ground.
"Alright, I'll tell you. Two days ago, you was ill, very ill. You kept throwing up and you could hardly move a muscle, you was that weak."
"Really?" Goten asked.
"Really. Plus, yesterday, you was hyperactive and running around like you had a two-ton rocket up your backside." I added.
"I didn't know I was hyperactive." Goten pondered.
"Neither did I until you asked me for a practice spar!!! Anyway, I'm going back to that house to do some investigating, do you want to come along?"
"Yes, please, that is, if it alright with you?" Goten asked.
"I wouldn't have asked you if it wasn't alright!"
Later that day, we set off to he house. I asked Trunks to come along too, so I could keep an eye on them. When we got there, all the wood that was over the windows had disappeared. This house must either have a human occupant, or it is haunted! We walked in slowly. All of the walls were spotless and all of the rooms were empty. Well, almost empty.
"Who's down there?" a familiar voice said. I looked around.
"Who's that?" I shouted back
"Danny, is that you?" the voice said back.
"Who are you, how did you know my name?" I shouted again. A shadow stared to descend down the stairs. The boys cowered behind me.
"It's a ghost!" Goten said.
