R&R
The two Saiya-jins finally made it back to the Grand Kai's planet. The flight back had been silent. Gohan was bathing in the fact he got to take revenge out on Cell. But the effect was wearing off. He landed near his father. Goku strode over to his son. He put his hard callused hand gently on his head.
"Gohan let me into your mind." He said to his son telepathically. Gohan was speechless all he could do was inattentively nod. Gohan felt his father and his mind join. He could feel his Father's presence in him. Looking. Looking for what? He wondered.
~~~!!~~~!!~~~~
Goku was amazed at what he saw. He saw scenes of Chichi crying with such sorrow after Gohan delivered the news. He also felt Gohan's grief, and guilt, or remorse. Maybe both Goku thought to himself, Goku kept looking. He also felt how Gohan blamed himself. Blamed himself in a way for at least one or more events that had happened in any foe he had fought. The thing that stood out was his own death. Goku felt anger. His son felt guilt for something he wasn't responsible for. Goku looked some more. He also observed that Gohan was scared at what his new sibling would be without a father. What his family and friends would be like with out him. Goku frowned. He himself was fine with being dead. But he didn't consider his loved ones. The hardest part of death was with those that were left behind. Goku finally grasped that concept. Now he didn't have an idea of what to do. Finding what he needed he lifted his hand off his son's head. Gohan looked up at him eagerly. His teal eyes to what Goku saw portrayed mixed emotions. (Both Gohan/Goku are still in SSJ.) Goku frowned a little and sat down gesturing Gohan to join him. He looked as a puzzled look came over his son's face. Gohan slowly sat down with his legs crossed.
~~~!!~~~!!~~~~
Gohan was suddenly deathly nervous at what his Father had seen. He was nervous about his look and sudden seriousness. What is he going to say to me? I don't even have a clue.
"Gohan." His father sighed. "I finally realized I'm selfish leaving all of you." He said.
"Dad?" Gohan questioned. This was not the tone his Dad usually used.
"I'm fine but I'm left all of you. Doing that was what I thought would be best for everyone but it isn't. It seems to be tearing you and your Mother up inside. I saw how much you mourned you still do. I also saw you Mother. She seemed so…" Goku continued now shifting his gaze from Gohan to the green grass. "I also left a large amount of responsibilities that you shouldn't have. Sure you are the most powerful being on the planet and I saw you as that not my son. You are powerful yes but you're still just 11 years old. Yes I admit your life has been hard. I know it has…" Goku was cut off.
"Wait Dad. I wouldn't change my life for anything." Gohan added.
" Still you blame yourself for my death. Don't you know Gohan that it isn't." Goku seemed to lecture.
" Yes it is. I should've listened to you and I didn't. Through my insolence you had to die!" Gohan almost seemed to come to tears. " Yes it's my fault. I let my instincts and power control me. I should've listened to you."
" No it isn't. Who knows what would happen. May be I was destined to die. No matter what you say or do or how much you feel bad. It doesn't beat the fact that I died. It still isn't your fault." Goku almost seemed to yell.
Gohan's eyes opened wide. He almost seemed like he was about to cry.
"Gohan." Goku said softly. Trying to calm the boy down. "It really isn't. I hope you'll realize it." Now Goku transferred his gaze to look right into his son's eyes. " I want to come back." He said abruptly. " You guys still need me."
Gohan was breathless at the end of this statement. Coming back. He's coming back. Was all he could think of.
"If we want to do that. You still have to learn instant transmission. You're going to have to take a little trip to New Namek for me." He said smiling.
All Gohan could do was look up in shock.
~~~~!!~~~~!!~~~~
Goku watched as Gohan breathed heavily. He had his fingers pressed to his forehead. Since his announcement all Gohan seemed to do was try to learn the technique. Every try he seemed to be getting closer. Now he was trying to transport to King Kai. Am I making the right decision? He wondered. His eyes opened wide with excitement and a smile formed on his lips. He just saw Gohan disappear and teleport basically over King Kai's head. The Kai was now yelling at the boy for landing on him after teleporting. Gohan was apologizing as he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
~~~~!!~~~~!!~~~~
After the Kai calmed down Gohan blushed as Goku applauded him for doing the technique. This is what he loved, being with his Father. He was so cheerful. He was a little nervous of how serious Goku had been during their conversation. It really wasn't like him. He was usually happy and optimistic but he also had a tendency Gohan really didn't want to realize it but dense. Sometimes. But was he really coming back. That question fueled his determination but he was worried it would never come to pass. He is coming back. He thought reassuringly to himself.
Authors Note: Goku is coming back? Hmmm…. Maybe…. But if he does it ain't going to be easy. Anyway thanks for reading. Please review. Thanks. C ya next chapter ;). Don't forget review, review, review, and oh um review. ^-^
