Disclaimer: NO!! Bite me!!

A-Chan: Ok, so don't hate me for doing this... I already hate myself.. No Goku, I still love you!! cry cry I only write these for other people to enjoy, or not.. It doesn't mean I enjoy it! tear Why did I write this.. think think do you guys even like it? No, everyone hates you Ayaika!! waaa... I guess so... * .- -.*

Leukemia...it kept echoing in my head... Leukemia...I know that word.....

My heart stopped. "What do you mean Kaka??"

" What do you think I mean 'Geta?......... I mean.. I have cancer."

" What? No... Huh? How? You've had it all along and you didn't tell me?! Why Kaka? Why didn't you tell me before?"

" The doctors said to live my life like there was no change. And.. I did not want to hurt you, that is all I was worried about..."

"You still could have told me! I can't believe you didn't tell me!" I tried to calm down but I felt tears filling my eyes even more than before.

" I thought that it would hurt you 'Geta."

" It hurts more that you wouldn't tell me! I have a right to know, I am your mate, your love. You should have told me... I needed to know.." Tears fall from my eyes now, more clearly than before.

" I'm sorry." He took me into his arms again. " I'm really sorry."

" Will you be okay?" I guess I was being ignorant when I asked that.

" Well.. I haven't responded to any treatments for a few months... the doctors say that I could have a month to live or a few years, they don't know for sure."

I started crying terribly. I could not lose him! I would not let it happen. I could not see him leave me once more. I loved him too much. More than anything. I noticed that he was not crying anymore. I was confused. Wasn't he upset that he was going to die again? Wasn't he upset that he was going to lose me and Goten?

" I'll be fine. I've died before."

" But Kaka...." I found myself so hurt that I almost choked on my words. " If you die.. you will not be able to come back..." This is out of our hands, it's a natural death.. Dragon balls don't work like that.... " You don't need to leave me... do you?"

" Not if you are willing to bear with me.."

" Of course I will Kakarot! I love you soo much! It hurts..."

He pulled me away from him and walked inside. He said one more thing though.

" I wish you wouldn't have fallen in love with me.. It would have saved you so much pain."

Me? Pain? Well yes, but what about you?! How come he seemed so calm? Why wasn't he crying anymore? I though he would be hurt. Why couldn't he have cried with me? To show me that he knew he was losing something too, me...

I found myself avoiding him that night. I felt that if I saw him, I would cry again, knowing that I would lose such a great man. The love of my life. The only person I truly loved that loved me in return. But I knew that I would have to forget this and try to live with it like he always had done. But.. my only love....

A day later, I took Kakarot out to dinner. I took him to an expensive restaurant, and we ate the whole place out of business. It was a lot of fun but very expensive. Near the end of our meal, Kakarot burped really loud, making everyone plug their ears, and some run. I laughed really hard, until a waiter asked us to leave. We ran out of the restaurant and forgot to pay the bill.

" O well, they didn't have good service anyway. Those waiters and cooks were so slow!"

" Yea they were! They moved like slugs!"

We both laughed as we strolled down the avenue. We decided to go into town that evening. We were. going to go window shopping. We just wanted to have fun. But how could I have fun, knowing that he was going to leave my life forever? I need to make the best of the last days I have with him.....

" Ooh Ooh! I want that 'Geta! It looks so cool." Kakarot squealed.

I laughed as we ran inside and looked at the desserts in the candy shop. Kakarot reached up and grabbed a candy cane that was on the wall. He licked it right away.

" Eeew this tastes gross!"

I laughed really hard. " Maybe because it is fake and is covered in dust!"

" Eeeew!! He threw it on the ground and it shattered. " Oops.. I guess I'll be paying for that... heheh."

Kakarot chose an ice cream cone that was bigger than his head. We shared it and sat at the park. He licked some chocolate off my nose that I got there by accident.

Late that night, I could not sleep. Kakarot was snoring like a baby, but I could not. I cried. How could I go on in life with him, pretending to have fun, when him dying keeps flashing in my head? No.. please god have some pity on us.. let me die first.. He is such a great guy.. just look at what he does to me.. He has made me a new man.. he has changed my life...Look at how great we are together...

--------------------------------------------------

I snuck out of the house and flew a far ways away. I flew for at least an hour, until I landed in front of my old house. Where Bulma lived. I tapped the door gently, hoping she was awake. I heard a few quiet noises, I wouldn't have known who it was, if I hadn't smelled Bulma from a mile away.

She opened the door and looked at me in shock. " What are you doing here?!"

I realized that it had been about a year since we had last talked. Wow, she has changed.. she looks different. .. like she has been stressing lately..

I stuttered, " I need your help Bulma."

" What is wrong Vegeta? And why do you come to me?" She frowned.

I started to cry. " Kakarot is.. he is dying Bulma.. I need your help.. You were the only person I could think of that could help me. Please Bulma.. I will never bother you again."

" Well, what do you want me to do?"

" I don't know.. I don't know... I have no idea of what to do..." I felt more upset and frustrated than ever.

" Wait.. what do you mean he is dying?!?!"

" He has cancer Bulma."

"What?! Has he gone to the doctors?! Have they treated him? Have they given him an operation or something?!?" She looked upset and frustrated too. Her and Kakarot had known each other almost all of their lives.

" The doctors have treated him.. But his body is no longer responding to the treatments... I think an operation would be his last hope.. but we can hardly afford that ourselves."

" I see. You want me to help pay for it. Well, I love Goku.. He is like a brother to me. I will help. But don't think I am doing it for you. Only for him. He needs it.. and he deserves to live.. he is a great person.. unlike someone I know." She turned her nose up.

" You don't know how much this means to me.."

" I know you are hurt Vegeta.. I am real sorry. But I am hurt to.. He was like my best friend..." She hugged me, I guess for just reassurance..

I felt awkward hugging her again, since I was so used to being in Kakarot's arms. It felt better to know that someone else cared though. I thought that this would be my chance. This would be the chance to save Kakarot's life, to keep my love alive. I would have done anything to find any help whatsoever. I hoped he would benefit from the operation we would pay for. But what if he doesn't?

A-Chan: See, it's ok, the story is going to continue, and, you never know, it might have a good ending... at least in someone's case... so, keep reading and reviewing! Thanx! Oh, and I have a new fic up, "Ending Tears." It's another G/ V, depressing fic, but it has plot too.... I dunno.. but If you'd read it, and tell me your opinion, I'd be very pleased. ^ ^
