A/N: wow I got really good results w/ the last chapter im surprised. I was convincing my self that it sucked. Oh P.S. lol I know I have terrible spelling I promise that in English when I try I don't write that badly. Anyways again I need two reviews for this chapter or it will stop dead. Oh and I put some lyrics in this from the nightmare before Christmas (p.s. I cut stuff out of it and changed things around only so the song would go with the story)

Disclaimer: dbz aint mine and never will be.

That little something

Chapter 2

sadness

Gohan sat patiently reading the newspaper while goten made petty attempts to first talk to his dad with out being stared to death then slowly (now when I say slowly I mean a snail sneaking up on somebody slow) approach his father and the baby.

That didn't last very long.

Goten was about ten paces away when goku stood and slid the chair back another 50 paces or so then stared at goten as if he were the god of hate. Goten finally gave up and walked over to the counter where gohan was.

"Man its no use dad is like in extreme protective mode, god I've never seen him like this before" goten whispered.

Gohan looked up and at goten "well remember dad being a saijen and all he's gunna be on the instinct mode for the next week or so especially sense mom died and dads in full responsibility for a baby"

"Speak of which dad never told us if it was a boy or girl, and what the heck are we supposed to call it. For petes sakes why don't we call it fluffy or spike" goten asked turning back to look at goku.

Goku sat holding the baby and just staring at it.

"Gohan hand me that paper there on the counter would you" goku called from the chair.

Gohan looked up and around for the paper goku asked for. Goten however found it first and gave it to his dad

"And a pen please"

Gohan got this one; being a geek he had a ton of pens all over the place. He handed goku a blue pen. Goku snatched it from his hands and gave both gohan and goten a death look. They hovered over goku looking to see what the paper was.

The moment they caught gokus eye they were on the other side of the room. Goku scribbled many things down and then smiled at the baby.

"Im going to call you Chiku" (CHEE-KOO) "you're my little Chiku" gokus voice again carried a waver.

Gohan and goten looked at each other then back to goku. Suddenly something caught gotens eye.

"Ey, bro, wuzat" he asked quickly pulling on gohan's sleeve like he was a little boy again.

Gohan looked at where goten pointed. His mouth dropped "well I'll be danged, it's got a tail"

Goku looked up and stared at goten and gohan then frowned "IT happens to have a name and IT is a girl"

~ A few years later ~

Time passed steadily since the day of chichi's death, gohan and goten frequently visited, However most of gokus friends where still way to afraid to go near goku. It was late and Chiku was in bed.

She was about two years old, and walking around crying out baby words was so far her only talent. No special powers have been revealed, no want to fight, she acted just like a two year old would.

Goku sat on a cushioned rocking chair moving back and fourth. This had become a typical action for goku. Every so often he would just sleep in the chair a book sitting in his lap and his feet up.

Goku had restless nights more now then he did before chichi died, but he never told anyone infact most time goku kept things to himself, not telling someone how he felt and covering it up with an expressionless smile.

Goku moaned a little as he turned his head to the side and his eye lids tightened as if he were in a disturbing dream, but his dreams were only disturbing because they were happy memories of his times with chichi that suddenly dried and shriveled into flames of hate.

Goku would wake feeling dull and useless. Most time he wanted to kill himself but reframed from doing so. He needs to be there for his Chiku and he knew it.

Goku lay in the chair he suddenly opened his eyes. His cheeks felt sticky and his mouth tasted of salt, he had been crying again. He sighed and stood up, letting the book fall to the floor.

He walked up the empty hallways devoid of any pictures that reminded him of times before chichi's death. He came to a door that was cracked open letting the hallway light flow into a dark room.

There was a desk to one side with many pictures of goku, gohan, goten, and chichi. In the middle of the room rested a bed with racks on the side to keep a toddler form falling out of bed.

Goku smiled to himself, a small girl laid quietly breathing with the slow rhythm of sleep. Goku walked in and bent down to kiss the girl on the head, then covered her with a blanket she had kicked off.

Goku walked slowly out, turned off the hallway light, then back down stairs. Goku looked out a small window, and sighed ounce more ~I think I'll go for a walk, besides how often do I get to enjoy clear spring moon light~.

Goku walked through the woods, holding his elbows in hands to cold for the nice warm air that announced summer was coming, along with storms. Ounce far enough from the house Goku smiled a pain filled smile as he walked and words suddenly formed in his mind.

Words of sorrow slowly filled his mind until he could no longer hold them in. he began to speak quietly in an almost angelic voice.

There are few who can deny that what I do I am the best
For my talents are renowned far and wide
And I goku have grown so tired of the same old thing

Gokus voice began to rise and sound more like sorrowful rather than angelic calmness

Oh some where deep inside of these bones

An emptiness began to grow
There's something out there far from my home
A longing that I've never known

Suddenly the green grass around gokus feet began to turn gray and die. The fresh green leaves shriveled and fell to the floor. A deer grazing suddenly fell over dead. Ice grew around trees and over baby birds. The grass at gokus feet cracked and broke as goku walked.

But who here could ever understand

That I tire of my crown
If they only understood that I'd give it all up if I only could

The grayness of ice grew wide covering trees all in gokus sight. Goku soon approached a large lake that he used to fish in. the ice stopped at its bank as if waiting instructions.

Oh there's an empty in my bones

That calls out for something unknown
The fame and praise that come year after year
Does nothing for these empty tears

Goku looked into his reflection a tear dropping into the water. As it hit, the ice grew so fast across the water that if you blinked you would have missed it. The fish in the water rose under the ice dead.

Goku looked around. There was a reason why he didn't walk at night anymore.
