Understanding
(Prologue)
Disclaimer: I do not own DB, DBZ, or DBGT no matter how much I wish I did (Akira is such a lucky guy). And anyone under the age of 18 should not be reading this cause it does contain lemons and it is going to be very VIOLENT. Trust me on that.
FYI: All right here's the rundown. Now everyone who has read the fan fic "The Ones They Take For Granted" knows about the pairings and what's going on. Instead of Goku wanting to leave Earth for his family it was Gohan who decided to leave for good and this picks up six years after Gohan has left.
ENJOY !!!!

Deep in space a ship is seen hurtling through the darkness to an unknown destination. The ship is covered in the familiar markings of the Capsule Corp. of the planet Earth. For almost six years the pilot has been in a constant state of isolation. Breaking all ties with his family and friends especially the ones known as Goku and Videl. After Gohan left Earth in the capsule ship Bulma's father had created he had begun an intense training regimen to try and make the pain go away. However, his pain has helped him to do things he never thought possible. Just like Vegeta and Goku, Gohan had trained using the Gravity machine, which was now common for the capsule ships, to increase his power exponentially. For the past few years Gohan had done everything in his power to rid himself of his emotions, to become a heartless machine like Vegeta once was. Pushing himself Gohan has started to reach levels of power that were unfathomable even to his father Goku. And deep in his training Gohan continues to push himself:
7,997
7,998
7,999
8,000
"Wow, it only took me two hours. That's at least an hour faster than my last time. All this training is really paying off for me. If I can keep at this intensity nobody could beat me, I bet I could even beat my da……… No, I know I can DESTROY GOKU. If I had the opportunity he wouldn't stand a chance," he said with a deep hatred in his eyes.
Unlike Vegeta and Goku's need to become stronger so they could enjoy a better fight with each other and to protect their loved ones, Gohan's desire to become stronger was fueled only with the desire to return to Earth one day and get his revenge against his father. For years Gohan had struggled with the torment and ache he felt after he had found out about the affair between his father and his wife. Never had he considered that they would betray him like they had, but it had become a nightmarish reality when he found them that day. The day that his world truly ended.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How many times has she asked for your time, and you've just pushed her aside?" How often has she waited up for you to come home from work only to have you walk right past her? How many nights have gone by without even looking at her before turning your back to her and going to sleep? How many times has she told you she loved you and not had it returned? Huh? How many, Gohan?"
"She knows how I feel about her!"
"Knowing love and feeling love are two very different things."
"Damn it, I do love her!"
"But so do I son!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gohan doesn't even try to count how many times he has replayed that scene through his head. Sometimes he has even agreed with what his father said maybe he had taken his wife for granted and not shown her how much he loved her. However, his doubts are always brushed away by his hate for the both of them.
"If we were having problems she could have talked to me she didn't have to FUCK MY FATHER". The sudden burst of anger once again caused Gohan to transform into his Super Saiyan state. This had become a reoccurring problem for him ever since he started training. Every time he would think about their betrayal he would loose control of his power and transform. To him it felt like he was just getting the hang of his powers like he did when he was a child training in the room of spirit and time.
A falling pipe brought him back to his senses making himself power down.
"If I don't learn to control my powers again I might destroy this ship and I can't let that happen not until I end his life." He said with a smirk that was reminiscent of Vegeta's.
Turning to the console of the gravity machine he pushes the buttons and enters a command
"Increasing to 650 times normal gravity. Warning continued usage over 500x may result in a reactor overload." Disregarding the warning Gohan continued his shadow box training waiting for the day he would return to earth to fight Goku.
9 MONTHS LATER
KNOCK KNOCK
"Hang on I'm coming" the voice belonged to a beautiful young woman 18 years old. Although over the years she has grown more beautiful, Pan still kept a few of her tomboyish ways.
"Hey Pan are you ready to go yet, you know the party starts in 20 min." the Beautiful girl with the aqua colored hair has been Pan's best friend for as long as they both could remember. Some would say they were sisters instead of best friends.
"Would you hold on a second Bra I'll be ready in a second." Grabbing her trademark orange bandana Bra and Pan left her room at her house. "You know what this party is gonna rock, I just hope that some cute guys who are actually worth my time will be there." The Saiyan princess said who had a well-established reputation for breaking men's hearts although the same thing could be said for Pan. Both were very attractive women yet all the guys they had dated always seemed below them. Maybe it was because these two girls had a secret. They were both in love with men that in their minds were out of their reach. Pan was constantly dreaming of her corporate executive Trunks Briefs and Bra of her handsome fighter Goten Son. However, they both seemed unattainable for the Children of Gohan and Vegeta.
"You know what Bra, I think we should forget about guys for tonight and just have some fun what do ya say." Pan said running over to her best friend as they walked out the door
"HELL YEAH COME ON PAN LET'S FLY" Bra shouted before she and Pan Blasted off towards the party being held at the Fraternity on campus.
In the shower stands a familiar figure
"I can't believe that it's been almost seven years. Seven long, hard and trying years. But still was it all worth it?" Stepping out of the shower Videl grabs a towel and starts to dry herself off walking into the room that she and Goku now share.
After Gohan left Earth, Goku and Videl finally told Chi Chi about their feelings for each other. It was hard for her to accept at first and actually said she wished she had stayed dead after Majin Buu had killed them instead of having to deal with this. Goku finally explained to Chi Chi how he truly felt and told her that he would always be there for her. She left her home of so many years without another word or tear, the only thing that really mattered to her were her children's welfare and warned that they might now be so quiet with their pain. She was right. Between Goten and Pan, it was Goten that was the most vocal with his anger. Angry with the both of them for driving his mother and brother away. Even after all that time things between Goku and Goten are still uneasy. However the true pain came from Pan. Out of everyone she was the one that Videl didn't want to hurt. However, for the last six years the Pan has said nothing to her mother the last time they talked was the day that Goku and Videl told them. Even then it was only one sentence and they were like daggers to her heart "I hate you mother and I will never forgive you". Climbing in to bed Videl finally noticed him in the corner doing pushups.
"Goku you have been training all day long when are you coming to bed?" she said with a smile on her face.
"Huh oh just a minute sweet heart I've got 10 left" the Saiyan warrior chuckled.
Videl smiled at her lover
'Goku is such a wonderful man and I am so lucky to have met him. I just wish that our lives had started off in a better way. I wish that our family could forgive us, that they could understand that Goku and I are meant to be together. I wish Pan would forgive me.'
"Hey Videl what's the matter you seem worried about something." Goku said after grabbing his towel off the back of the chair. "You know whatever it is you can always talk to me about it."
"It's nothing Goku" giving him a peck on the forehead " why don't you hurry up and take a shower so you can join me in bed."
All Goku could do is kiss her and hurry off to the shower.
All right people this is the only chapter (most likely) that will skip around to different people like this. The next chapters will focus on a certain group of people and then Gohan at the end in his training and stuff so PLEASE PLEASE review my work so I can stay motivated to continue
