A-Chan: Okay, so this is the next chapter... like you didn't know that.... Don't get mad at me for this one.. just had to make you eager to find out what is happening.

Kakarot and I spent the next summer together happier than ever. We took Goten to a real school finally, and he was glad we did so. Kakarot and I attended the World's Martial Arts tournament. It was fun, but I lost. That was fine, because Kakarot was the one who won. He deserved to. And we shared the winnings anyway.

Kakarot and I were a part of the last battle. We both fought our best, but Kakarot had used his super Saiyan three technique, therefore causing me to lose. I always knew he was more powerful than me. But we had both grown strong.

Kakarot took me to the beach after the tournament. We walked along the shore holding hands and talking. He was telling jokes about the fool King Kai and his old planet that he had destroyed. We were laughing and having fun, until he pulled me to face him. He suddenly looked very serious.

" What is wrong Kakarot?"

"Nothing... sorry. I just wanted to look at you again," He said. I did not question why he had asked this, I should have, but I did not.

Kakarot grabbed my hand and we continued walking, but this time, we did not talk to each other. We just walked and looked at the stars. They were so pretty, and because I was sharing this sight with Kakarot, made it a whole lot better.

When we arrived home, Kakarot stopped me again. He pulled me near him and prepared to speak. He stood silent for a while, until I decided to help him along.

" Did you have something to say Kaka?" I asked.

"Yes. But it is too hard for me to say. I just don't know how to say it."

" Kakarot, come on. You can tell me. Don't be afraid to."

" 'Geta, I don't think you and I can be together anymore."

" What? What do you mean Kaka? What went wrong? What did I do? Did I do something wrong? Please explain this to me Kaka... please..." I found myself becoming confused and frustrated.

" Well, I don't mean that... I am leaving you really... There is more to it than you think. But if it counts, it is not you. It is me. It is my fault."

" Kakarot! I still don't understand! Explain what you are trying to say to me! Please!" I found myself shouting and nearly crying with aggravation.

" 'Geta, If I could, I would.. But it is too hard for me to say."

We stood quiet for a moment as a tear rolled down my cheek. Kakarot stood still staring into my eyes. I closed my eyes and looked away. He is leaving me... A tear rolled down his cheek also. I knew that something was really, very wrong. I just did not understand why he wouldn't tell me. What could be so hard to say to the one you love? I needed to know why he thought we could not be together. I needed to know now, but Kakarot was still crying, and I did not know what to do.

I placed my hand on Kakarot's cheek. I wiped his tear and stared into his eyes for another minute. I loved him so much. What ever was wrong, I needed to know. I wouldn't sleep or eat or think until I found out exactly what was wrong.

Kakarot took a second to find his breath and to calm down. I had to do the same because this was really upsetting me. There was obviously a big reason to why Kakarot could not tell me what was wrong. I found myself thinking up many different things as to what could be wrong with him.

Could it be that he still loves Chi- Chi? Could it be because he doesn't love me anymore? Why does he say it is his fault? What did he do wrong? I didn't remember him doing anything that would show we didn't belong to each other. I always thought we were perfect. Maybe I had so easily over looked something that was relevant. Maybe something going on between us just wasn't right and showed that we needed to go our separate ways. Whatever it was, it ate at me. I could not wait any longer. I had to know, and I was going to demand an answer from Kakarot this time. I would not overlook it any longer.

" Kaka, come on. I have waited long enough for your answer. It is time to tell me."

" 'Geta," He placed a hand on my cheek, "I don't want to hurt you."

I pushed his hand away from my cheek. " Kakarot, come on, stop stalling, come out with it!!!" I demanded and saw hurt strike his face.

" I guess I have to 'Geta.. I can't keep this a secret anymore.. I guess I have to tell you..."

He shed a tear and took a breath. He looked like he was prepared to break some terrible news to me. I didn't think I was prepared for what was to come. But, Kakarot hesitated again.

" Geta..." He leaned forward and rested his head on my shoulder, with his arms wrapped around me. " If you don't want to be with me anymore- if this is all too hard for you- you can leave me.. I will understand..."

" I will never leave you.. just tell me what is wrong..."

He opened his mouth, but no words came out... Well at least I didn't think so.. I pretended not to hear it.. I pretended as if it never happened.. It was something I would never want or expect to hear... Everything then was a blur...

" Vegeta.. I.. Vegeta, I am sorry... Please...."
