Goku woke with a start. He sat up straight in his bed, sweating. The
feeling, he had felt it hit him in the heart. Bulma was gone.
Chi-Chi stirred in her sleep, and her eyes fluttered open. "G-Goku?" she said and her voice was barely a whisper. "What's wrong? Get back to sleep." She yawned again and rolled onto her other side. When Goku did not listen, she sat up and looked at him, his handsome perfectly outlined by the moonlight that shined across his frightened concerned face. He was breathing hard, as if panicking, and his eyes were wide open with disbelief. Now she was scared. "Goku? What's wrong?"
But before he answered, they both heard explosion outside, and the ground shook. Goku threw the bed sheets aside and ran to put on his clothes.
"Goku?! What's going on?" Chi-Chi screamed.
Goku turned to his wife. "Just stay in bed." He ran to her and began putting pillows by her side, and tucked her with the bed sheets. He ran out before she could call him out again.
Gohan woke up and was outside his room looking at his dad. "I don't know, dad, but I feel like some thing is missing."
"Me, too. Go to my room and watch your mom for me. I have to check this out!" Goku ran out the house and looked around. He could feel power, strong power. And he knew where it was coming from. Vegeta.
Goku flew quickly to the location where his could feel the massive power, and there he was right. Vegeta was picking up a tree and began using it as a stick to hit anything around him. And while doing so, Goku could hear him screaming something.
Goku flew down and knocked him down. He then picked up Vegeta and began kicking him in the stomach until Vegeta could not handle it and fell to the floor, breathing so hard. He was sweating, too.
"S-She's gone." Vegeta began to sob. "I know s-she is. She's dead. I- I can't feel her anywhere."
Goku was shocked to see tears run down the side of Vegeta's face from the corner of his eyes. He just lay there pitifully with his arms and legs spread apart. Goku sighed and sat beside him. The last time he saw Vegeta cry was on Namek when Vegeta had asked Goku to kill Frieza and also had confessed that Frieza was the reason why he was like that. Oh boy, that was memorable for Goku. Vegeta cried because of Frieza right before he died.
"S-She's dead." Vegeta sobbed again, trying to control his tears, voice, and emotion. "T-Thanks to me."
"That's not true." Goku responded finally. "She's not dead."
Vegeta was quiet and then he turned to Goku with coldness in his eyes as usual, but tears blurred it. "How do you know? I know you woke up because you felt her missing, too, didn't you, Kakkarot?" He turned away. "I don't feel her anywhere. She's gone, and so is our baby."
Goku was angered immediately. "It was just hours ago when I had heard you say it was not your baby. I heard you say you did not care about her, and now I look at you crying because she's gone. You regret it, don't you? She is special to you after all."
"Yes, she is!" Vegeta yelled and sat up. "Is that what you wanted me to hear? Is that it? Well, yes, she is special to her and I love her! I hope you're happy now, and I'll grant you to walk over and laugh at me now."
Goku was quiet. "It didn't matter if I heard it. I just wanted you to admit it. You can admit it and not even tell me because I already know you love here. I just wanted you to admit it."
Vegeta was quiet now. He sighed and looked at the sky. "What am I going to do?"
"Look for her. I know she's alive. I don't feel her presence here on earth, but I just know she's alive. I can't explain."
"I know. I know she's alive. I just went crazy when I couldn't feel her. But, yeah, it's hard to explain that I just know she's alive somewhere. Just don't know where, dammit."
Chi-Chi stirred in her sleep, and her eyes fluttered open. "G-Goku?" she said and her voice was barely a whisper. "What's wrong? Get back to sleep." She yawned again and rolled onto her other side.
