Days have passed and everyone stood away from Gohan. Bulma would go in once a day to give Gohan some fresh food and water. Everyday, Gohan would watch her closely to make sure she wouldn't try to sneak in a needle while he slept. He was eating and pushed aside the pills that Bulma tried to hide. He somehow cleaned himself and got into a new blue gi his mother dropped off. He hasn't seen her in days.
Gohan watched as Bulma brought out some food for him. The portions were still the same and Gohan would eat all of his food. He only ate once a day and that's all he really needed to survive. But he always watched who came in and who came out. It was only Bulma since Gohan grew afraid of his father. Gohan could not trust his father because he tried to give him something he feared.
Bulma put the food next to Gohan with a smile on her face. Gohan did not smile back but only watched as Bulma put the food next to his bed.
"It's your favorite," Bulma said placing a glass of water next to him. "Banana bread. There was more from the last batch and it's still good. Wanna try the needle?" Gohan placed his hand on his shoulder as a 'no' response. Bulma nodded. "I guess you still need some time. At least you're back to your senses but I also noticed that you haven't used the bathroom. It's been days Gohan. I can't even hold it in for days."
Gohan only stared at Bulma and a quick glance at the banana bread. He looked back at Bulma and watched her every move. When her back was turned, he threw the banana on the floor and the glass of water also. Bulma quickly turned around from the loud clash and noticed the mess beside Gohan's bed. He only stared at her and knew the attempt that she tried to pull. Hiding crumbled pill in the banana bread and water. He was not going to fall for the simple trick.
"I knew Chi-Chi made you too smart for your own good," Bulma said walking over to the mess. Gohan still watched her like a cat on a mouse. "You still have those injections in your body Gohan. We just need to take a blood sample to see what's inside your body and since you haven't let out any waste, it's still in there. We tried knocking you out to get that blood sample but you wouldn't let us. Please Gohan, let us take your blood sample."
Gohan grasped his hand on his arm and squeezed tightly. He watched her clean up the mess and she did notice the body language that Gohan was sending out. Bulma sighed in defeat as the mess was thrown away. Bulma nodded and left the room. She shut the door behind her and Gohan calmed down a bit. He heard the door open a few minutes and cast his glance on the new person walking in. His eyes went wide when he saw that it was his father.
Gohan pressed his body up against the wall as if Goku was going to attack him. Goku saw this reaction but sat down next to the door. He didn't say anything and only gave a short glance to Gohan. He was only going to sit there and do nothing. Gohan didn't think that and kept his body firmly against the wall. Gohan did not trust his father, and he wasn't going to trust him now.
Goku knew that Gohan was afraid of him. He had to take his time with his son and take baby steps to gain Gohan's trust back. So sitting away from his son and being in the same room should help a bit. Hopefully Gohan will pry his body away from the wall and be relaxed with his father. Goku only hoped but Gohan was still terrified.
"I'm just going to sit here for an hour," Goku said not looking up at his son. "I'm going to leave and then come back in another hour. I will not touch you, I will not get near you, and this is the only time I will be speaking to you. I just want your trust back."
Goku looked up at Gohan and sighed. Gohan did calm down but kept his eye on his father. He did not trust him and trust was a big part in any relationship.
Fifteen minutes passed and Gohan did not move. Goku was getting bored but remember that he had to stay in the same spot for another half an hour. He couldn't move or else Gohan would have another panic attack. But Goku couldn't be still anymore. He had to do something so he wouldn't go crazy.
"You're going to have to make up a lot of school work," Goku said looking at Gohan. He only stared back. "I know I said that I wouldn't talk but I can't keep still. We just want to help you Gohan. Maybe if you tell me what Dr. Igiegakie did to you then maybe we can help you out."
Gohan only stared at his father. He didn't look like he was in the mood to talk but he did say a few words that Goku regretted answering.
"What happened to him?"
Gohan turned his head away from his father. Part of him knew the answer but the other part wanted to tell him that it was wrong. Goku looked down at the ground before speaking.
"You killed him," Goku said. "The way he killed."
Gohan shut his eyes and nodded his head. He opened his eyes and stared at the wall in front of him.
"So I killed him," Gohan said in a question. Goku nodded but Gohan didn't see. "The way he killed?"
"Yes," Goku said looking up. "You couldn't control it. You were a monster."
"And you injected something in me that cure me," Gohan said angered. Goku looked puzzled. Wouldn't Gohan be happy knowing that he was no longer a monster? Why was he mad? Goku's answer was soon answered. "What you injected might have cure me but I can't function. I can barely walk around unless I dragged my body. I can't get rid of waste." Gohan glared at his father. "I would have only been a monster for a few more minutes. I had too many injections of Extiuion and that shortened the time of the transformation." Gohan shut his eyes.
"What's Extiuion," Goku asked.
"Something that a normal human can't handle unless he killed himself. It was pain, pain you never felt before in your life. I suffered for days."
"We tried to rescue you for days Gohan. We couldn't sense your ki and we had problems trying to track you down. We wanted to save you earlier but-"
"I don't want to hear excuses," Gohan said with his back on the wall. His eyes were still shut. "You don't know what I had to go through." Gohan opened his eyes. There were tears at the corner of his eyes. "It hurt too much."
"Gohan."
Goku was too afraid to walk up to his son. His son was strong and rarely cried. When he was a child he was a crybaby but Piccolo changed that. He has grown within the years and the pain that he had was something Goku could never feel.
Gathering the courage, Goku walked up to Gohan and sat down on the bed that Gohan was on. Gohan didn't move and didn't make much room for his father. Goku sat on the edge and placed his hand on Gohan's shoulder.
"I'm sorry Gohan," Goku said.
"I don't want your pity," Gohan growled shrugging his shoulder to get Goku's hand off. "I don't need pity."
"What do you need Gohan?"
"I want." Gohan shut his eyes. A single tear fell down his cheek but it quickly disappeared as it fell down his face. Goku tried to put his hand on his shoulder but knew that Gohan would just shrug it off. Gohan curled up in a ball with his head in his knees. "I want.I want.I don't know what I want."
"How about some banana bread without the pills," Goku joked. That didn't crack a smile. "There has to be something that you want Gohan. Do you want to be better? Do you want to be alone? Do you want to be normal?"
"I want."
"Want what?
"I want.Dad I don't know!"
"There's something you want Gohan," Goku said in a bit of a shout. "I know it, I can see it! What do you want Gohan?"
"I want."
"What Gohan?"
"I want."
"Tell me."
"I want." Gohan began to shake. His fingers brushed through his hair. "I want.I want.I want.I want."
"You want something Gohan," Goku now shouted. "You want freedom? You want independence? What do you want?"
"I don't know!"
"You want something if you're saying your saying 'I want'."
"I want."
"What?!"
"I want to be healed!" Gohan shouted. His body didn't stop trembling and his eyes were dilated. He buried his head in his knees but his fingers remained in his hair. Goku stared at Gohan like Gohan stared at him.
"Stop shaking."
Gohan did. His head appeared out from his knees and stared at his father.
"Let us help you heal. You have to do what we say so we can heal your wounds inside of you. If you don't let us then you will never be healed. You have to be strong."
"I can't," Gohan whispered.
"Yes you can Gohan," Goku said sternly. "If you can trust me Gohan then you can conquer what you fear. Please Gohan."
Gohan looked his father right in the eyes.
"I want to heal Dad..but no more needles."
Goku found a slight problem. In order to check out Gohan's blood sample they had to drain it from a needle. Gohan's body was still bruised and Goku had to talk to Bulma about it.
"I can't promise needles," Goku said. "But I can-"
"No more needles," Gohan repeated. Goku smiled at Gohan.
"No more needles."
Can Goku promise Gohan no more needles? Review and see.
