Chapter 9: Taylor's Feelings

Taylor watched Goku fell with blood coming out of his chest. She raced for him. She held out her arms as she caught her father. She slowly hovered to the ground. She landed on her knees as she held her father's upper body in her arms. Goku started to cough as blood came out. Taylor lifted her other hand toward her mouth. She pulled her glove off with her teeth. She grabbed her glove and started to wipe the blood off of Goku's mouth. Goku looked at his daughter.

"Tay..." Goku quickly shut his eyes in pain. "Taylor..." Taylor's eyes started to swell up with tears. Taylor looked at her father as he reopened her eyes. "I love you..." he said. Taylor nodded her head.

"I love you too dad." Taylor said. Gohan, Goten, and Pan ran over. Pan fell to her knees at Goku's right as Gohan and Goten stood behind her. Vegeta got onto his hands and knees. He looked over at Goku as his eyes started to widened. Bulla was sitting up as she watched. Trunks was also sitting up looking at them. Yamcha was still knocked out.

"Grandpa..." Pan called. Goku slowly turned his head toward Pan. He eyes started to swell up with tears as well. Goku smiled at her.

"Pan..." Goku replied. "I'll always remember you." Goten clinched his fists.

"Dad! You're talking like your going to die!" Goten yelled. Gohan turned to look at his brother. Goku looked up at Goten.

"I am Goten..." Goku stated as she started to cough up more blood. "I love you two, Goten and Gohan. Pan you stay out of trouble and Taylor." Goku turned to look at Taylor. Taylor let out her tears. Taylor stared at her father. He lifted up his hand to her cheek. "Don't give your mother a hard time... Okay Boo." Goku's hand then slipped off her cheek as it hit the ground. Goku's other hand which was holding onto Taylor's other glove opened as Goku limped in her arms. Taylor shook her head.

"DADDY!!!!" Taylor cried. She pulled her dead father's body up to face. Taylor buried her face on his shoulder. Boo, Goku called her boo ever since she was little a baby. But he stopped when she turned 9. Taylor cried as her tears fell off her cheek and landed on the ground. Gohan and Goten looked down at the ground. Pan placed her hand on the ground as her head slowly fell onto her upper chest. She let her tears out soon after. Vegeta shook his head as he looked away. Bulla looked down at the ground. Taylor held onto her father's body tightly. She kept on crying and crying. Then there was a laugh to be heard. Everyone looked up to see Noja laughing with his arms crossed. Goten clinched his fists.

"MMMUUURRRDDDEEERRREEERRR!!!" Goten yelled launching into the air turning super saiyan 2. Gohan followed him as he turned super saiyan 2. Gohan and Goten pulled their hands to the right side.

"KA... ME... HA... ME... HHHAAA!!!" Gohan and Goten threw their hands forward. The ki blast fused together. Taylor looked at her father as blood dripped down his mouth. She looked over at her glove that was lying in his hand. Taylor reached out for her glove. She listened to the sounds of her brother battling Noja. Taylor stopped her hand above her glove. When she had a flash back.

Flash Back

Taylor went running into the kitchen. She hugged her mother's leg. That was the only thing she could reach since she was only three. Chichi bent down and picked her up. She placed her on her hip. Chichi walked to the back door. She opened to see Goku without his shirt and a hammer in his hand. Goku stood upright as he wiped the sweat off of his forehead. He turned around to look at Chichi and Taylor. Taylor reached out toward Goku.

"Dada." Taylor called. Chichi placed Taylor on the soft grass as she ran over to her sweaty dad. Goku got down onto his right knee and opened his arms and smiled. "Dada!" Taylor called again wrapping her arms around her father's chest. Goku picked her up. He bounced her over to his right hip. He pointed the hammer to a built club house.

"See that Boo?" Goku asked. Taylor nodded her head. "That's your Boo, but you have to share with your brother." Goku stated. Taylor looked at Goku.

"Do I have to sharey with heie?" Taylor asked. Goku nodded his head. He placed his three-year-old daughter on the ground.

"Yes you do Boo." Goku answered. Taylor crossed her arms and pouted. Goku got down onto his right knee kneeling next to Taylor. "Boo, remember what I told you, sharing is a good thing."

Flash Back Ends

The words "good thing" echoed in her head as another tear fell onto Goku's chest. Taylor picked up her glove. Taylor pulled her glove to her chest. She gripped onto it as she looked up and watched her brothers attack Noja.

Gohan and Goten punched Noja's face at the same time. Gohan disappeared and reappeared behind Noja launching a ki blast at his back yelling:

"HHHHAAAA!!!!" Noja went flying toward Goten. Goten swung his fist upper cutting Noja. Noja went flying into the air. Goten and Gohan followed him. Taylor looked at her father as his body soon became cold. Then his body disappeared with a ping. Taylor shook her head. She then buried her face in her hands and began to cry again.

"No! No! No! No! No!" Taylor yelled as she shook her head. Pan looked up at her. Taylor stopped shaking her head. "My dad can't be dead... it's not fair..." Taylor added. Taylor's tail curled up around her knees stopping on the side of her upper right leg. Taylor lifted her head from her hands. "My dad... can't be dead..." Taylor slammed her fists onto the ground. "NO!" Taylor yelled.

"Kakkarot is dead Taylor!" Vegeta yelled. Taylor lifted her head at look at Vegeta who was standing next to Pan. Pan looked at Vegeta as he crossed his arms. "Kakkarot is dead." Vegeta said again. Taylor stood up.

"NO! MY FATHER ISN'T DEAD!" Taylor yelled. Vegeta stared down at Taylor as she got in his face. Taylor saw the seriousness in his eyes. Taylor shook her head. "NO!" Taylor fell to her knees in front of Vegeta. "This can't be true... I'm dreaming!" Taylor yelled. Vegeta looked away. He then looked down at Taylor from the corner of his eye.

"The Great Kakkarot's daughter cries like a baby." Vegeta stated. Taylor looked up at Vegeta. Vegeta turned his head to look at Taylor. "You cry when we're still fighting Noja! Go back to the old man's house and cry there!" Vegeta yelled. Taylor breathed heavy. she looked down at the ground. Trunks walked up to Vegeta.

"Dad go easy on her... she just lost her dad." Trunks stated. Vegeta looked at Trunks.

"It doesn't matter if she lost the life of her pet to that freak! We're still fighting Noja instead of her helping she cries!" Vegeta yelled. Taylor stared at one rock as she listen to Trunks and Vegeta argue. Bulla got to her feet. She walked over to Taylor. She bent down.

"Come on Taylor... there's no reason for you being here... let's go Back to Master Roshi's house." Bulla said. Pan stood up and nodded her head.

"Yeah... that way no one will have to worry about us getting hurt." Pan said. Taylor nodded her head. She stood up. She placed her glove in her hand. She walked past Trunks and Vegeta. Vegeta watched her as she wrapped Yamcha's arm around her neck. She turned around to stare at Vegeta face to face. She walked past him as Yamcha's feet dragged across the floor. She launched into the air with Bulla and Pan following her. Vegeta launched toward the battle as Trunks followed.

Taylor, Bulla, and Pan soon reached Master Roshi's Marron stood outside watching them. She smiled when she saw them. She pointed at the three little dots. She turned around as she kept her finger pointed.

"LOOK EVERYONE!! THERE BACK!" Marron yelled as Chichi, Bulma, 18, Videl, and Master Roshi walked out of the house. Taylor landed on the ground as Bulla and Pan landed after her. Bulma walked up to Bulla hugging her.

"Oh Bulla you're safe." Bulma said happy. Videl walked over to Pan. Pan looked down.

"I'm sorry mom."

"It's okay, I'm just glad you back." Videl stated. Pan hugged her mother. Chichi walked up to Taylor as Taylor handed Yamcha to Master Roshi. Taylor looked at her mother. Chichi noticed the sadness in her eyes.

"What happened Taylor?" Chichi asked. Taylor sighed. Everyone looked at Taylor and Chichi. Taylor started to cry again. Taylor wrapped her arms around her mother.

"Mommy! Dad's dead!" Taylor yelled as she gripped onto the back of Chichi's shirt. Chichi's eyes widened as she wrapped her hand around her daughter.
