Chapter 3: Pieces

Vegeta walked through the front door of Capsule Corp; he took a deep breath as he locked the door behind himself. Bulma isn't going to take this well. Bulma came into the living room Trunks besides her, rubbing his eyes. "Why is he up?" Vegeta didn't want the boy to know that Goku was insane.

"He couldn't sleep." Vegeta nodded. "So, what's wrong with Goku?" she asked sitting down on the couch.

Vegeta sat down next to her "I think Trunks should leave".

"What ever you have to say you can say in front of your son."

Vegeta frowned, "alright if you insist. Kakkarot has been sent to the psychiatric ward." Bulma's mouth hung agape.

"What's that dad? Isn't that where they put crazy people." Trunks yawned and stretched his arms.

"No, sweetie, it's where they put sick people." Bulma forced a smile at her son.

"No, it isn't, don't lie to him. Kakkarot is going nuts. He claims to be seeing Videl and she's in other people's body. He also said something about Namek. The doctor thought he had a bad dream and didn't realize it. People that experience massive trauma usually don't recover too well . . . "

"Jeez, Son can't really be going insane, could he?" Vegeta shrugged and put his face in his hands massaging his temples for a moment.

"The look in his eyes made me want to believe him. He was scared shitless." He lifted his head back up and faced Bulma. "Let's just say it wasn't a dream. What if it was real, he wasn't dreaming, she's still alive."

"I don't want to think of that, she killed everyone but Goku, well she kinda did kill him . . . . inside." Trunks stared wide-eyed.

"Kakkarot also said that before he stabbed her she was whispering something and that she told him to stab her in the heart."

"Hey! She could have done some magic spell to jump bodies." They both turned to the lavender haired Demi Sayian. "You know in that movie Shocker where that guy could transfer from bodies by touching them."

"I thought I told you not to watch that movie!"

"Dad said I could." Bulma looked over at Vegeta with a look that could kill.

"No I did not, Kakkarot did."

"Did not"

"Did too"

"SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU" Bulma clenched her fists. "What if he is right, she could have done that. It definitely would explain a lot."

"Yes it would, I think we should keep this to ourselves. I'll get Kakkarot out of that nuthouse and bring him here, if that bitch is still alive she'll come looking for him." Bulma smiled at Vegeta.

"Good idea he probably won't be safe at the hospital. I think that you should ask to stay there to keep watch over him."

"Peh, they would barely let Kakkarot's brats stay there to visit, why would they let me stay there until he gets better?"

"I do own Capsule Corps." Bulma stood up "You should go there in the morning."

Vegeta got off the couch "I was planning to anyways. I'll bring the boy with me so you can figure some things out."

"Thanks Vegeta, you're great." She hugged him. "Nite." Then she headed to her room.

"Sleep well, you too Trunks." Trunks hugged around his upper thigh.

"See you in the morning Dad." Trunks ran after his mom. Vegeta went back into his room and stripped himself of his clothing except for his black boxers. He turned off the light and he crawled under the cold blanket and slowly drifted off to sleep. A certain Sayian and a very special kiss filled his dreams.

As soon as Chichi, Gohan, and Goten walked into the house Chichi broke down crying. She sobbed into Gohan's shoulder. "It's alright mom." He tried to sooth her and rubbed her back.

"My Goku is going crazy and he only cared if Vegeta believed him." Tears drenched Gohan's shirt.

"That's not true, he cares if you believe him. He probably didn't-"

Chichi looked up into Gohan's eyes. "He doesn't love me anymore."

"What? Mom, he loves you with all his heart."

"He doesn't love me he-he cares about Vegeta." She sniffled wiping her eyes on the sleeve of her yellow shirt.

"They went through a lot together so they have a bond. Vegeta was there the whole time, non of us were, they have a um stronger connection. They feel each other pain. Both of them lost everyone."

"You're right, Gohan. I'm sorry I broke down like that, who am I kidding Goku loves me." Goten laughed as Chichi said this and wrapped his arms around her.

"I feel the way about Trunks I feel close to him some how, I wish I could hold him right now." They both stared at Goten who was in his own little dream world.

"Eh" Gohan's cheeks turned a bright red.

Chichi sighed "It's time for bed" Chichi went upstairs to her room and opened the door. She immediately screamed. Gohan and Goten ran over to her.

"What is-" the walls were covered with blood, metal rods in the wall and words were written in blood.

"Oh, this is where dad found you." Gohan and Chichi turned to the younger boy. "What?"

"Nothing."

"Chaoitzu died outside of my room".

"That's nice Goten, let's sleep in the living room tonight." They went down the stairs. Earlier they went to see Goku at the hospital and he was asleep, so; then they went to Krillian's house. They were lucky; there wasn't as much blood. They ate dinner and talked about what had happened in the last few days. Filling in the spots that were missing but there was still a big gap. All they had was up to Goten's death and nothing else. No one had told them anything. They had vowed to find out the next day. Then they went home, right when they walked through the front door the telephone rang and they went to the hospital. There were still blankets in the living room. Chichi slept on the couch and Gohan and Goten slept next to each other on the floor wrapped in blankets.

Morning came too early for the full-blooded Sayian Prince. He rolled over as he heard the sound of thunder. His feet kicked off the blankets. He got out of bed, took a shower and got dressed. He decided to wear the same thing he wore the night before, he only had I on for maybe an hour. As he stepped out of his room the sweet aroma of Bulma's cooking met his nose. He walked into the kitchen Trunks' face lit up.

"Hey dad ready to go?"

"Vegeta, my parents are coming down today so I'm going to have the guys over to get the house fixed. The whole side of Trunk's room is gone. What happened?"

"Shut up with all the questions, and yes I'm ready." He grabbed some bacon "Let's go boys." He shoved the bacon into his mouth.

"That ungrateful-"

"I can hear you!" Vegeta yelled back as he went out the front door, Trunks behind him.

They arrived at the Hospital in 30 minutes. They had to take the car because it was raining too hard. The nurse from the night before introduced herself as Callie Wilson. She brought them to Goku's room. They could hear Goku laughing. They opened the door.

"Hey Vegeta! Hey Trunks!" his famous grin plastered across his face. He seemed fine. Except for the stitches, cuts, bruises, and the bandages around his wrists.

Doctor Metra smiled at them. "Well, hello take a seat." They did so. "I have excellent news Mr. Son is improving greatly though he hasn't eaten much. He seems to be rather depressed but that is normal for what he has been through. He is also very paranoid. Every time someone comes in, he checks their eyes." He sighed, "We might need to keep him in longer than we thought."

"If that is the case I would like to stay here with him."

"I don't know . . ."

"I was there with him, he trusts me, I trust him. He will heal faster and he'll have a friend to talk to."

The older man nodded "Very well, if you'd like you can stay in this room with him and he'll probably open up to someone he knows."

Trunks watched Goku; his movements were slow as he got off the ground. Pain laced up his body, but he gritted his teeth, not wanting anyone to get alarmed. He stood next to Vegeta.

"You're gonna stay here with me?" he asked Vegeta. He nodded at the taller Sayian; dark circles were under Goku's eyes. He smiled and looked at Trunks, he seemed uneasy about being near a crazy person, but Goku wouldn't hurt them intentionally. He forced a smile at Goku as the door opened and a familiar cop came in Officer Reily. She glanced at them, not smiling. She went right to the doctor. Goku tried to see her eyes but couldn't. Vegeta could feel Goku's uneasiness as his breathing changed. He put a hand on Goku's shoulder.

"It's alright Kakkarot." Officer Reily whispered something in the doctor's ear. He nodded and turned to the three Sayians.

"Officer Reily has something important to tell you guys." They diverted their attention to the woman.

"I'm afraid I have some bad new. Your friend Master Roshi was found dead this morning by a local fisherman. Apparently he drowned but nothing shows foul play. I am sorry for your loss." She looked over to Goku as tears streaked down his cheek. "Get well soon Mr. Son" she left the room and Goku latched himself to Vegeta.

"It was Videl, she killed him, I told you she's still alive, I told you but you wouldn't believe me." Vegeta ran his fingers through Goku's spikes.

"We don't know if he was killed, he probably fell of the side he did have alcohol in his system." Goku looked over at his doctor.

"No, you're wrong."

"Kakkarot calm down."

"Dad, can I go home?" Vegeta looked over to his son.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I- I just don't want to be here."

"Very well, help your mother with the house." Trunks hugged his dad briefly and then waved bye to Goku and left.

To be continued . . .

Agent 182: Thanks for reading and reviewing hopefully. Um I probably need to fill people in with a few things. They only made two wishes because they saved the last one I guess. Then um I made them come back because I did, uh I felt kinda stupid that I forgot all that stuff; anyways there might be Goten/ Trunks. If you would like it so tell me and I'll put it in, Goten felt like holding Trunks . . .
