Chapter Eight:"The Last Song"
Disclaimer: I Don't own it. I will never Own it. Do you want me to? Thats what I thought...
A/n: It took me a long time to actually find the song to end this fic. It might not have gotten as many reviews as my newest fic but I still got alot for a DBZ fic. But here it is. Alright as for a summery of last chapter: Gohan was about to die, there were a few sad moments between Chichi and the kids. And most deffinatly Piccolo. And just as Gohan was about to let go Bulma found the cure. Maybe not in time to save Goku and Geta, but in time to save our poor Gohan. And now here it is, the last chapter and the end of the circle. Will Gohan survive? Or is it really to late? The song is by The All-American Regjects.
Chapter Eight:
This may be the last thing that i write for long
Piccolo sat quitly at Gohan's side, just as he had been for the last week and a half. Bulma had administered the cure, tests showed that he did not have the virus in his system any longer. But he, Gohan, had slid into a deep coma and had not shown any signs of waking. Bulma feared that some chemical in the medicine triggered someting in Gohan's Saiyan blood that kept him from awaking. But due to the fact that the only Saiyan who could have answered that question was dead they were lost.
Can you hear me smiling when i sing this song, for you and only you
But none of knew the pain Piccolo could of been feeling. He was given this love, this blissful love, only to lose it not only months later. He gave himself over completly to the child, boy, man-Who took his heart from him years ago, just to sit and watch as he waisted away in front of him. The girls could not begin to understand that pain. And yet they waited out side, but what they waited for was undesided. Either Gohan would let go-and die...
Or he would open his eyes and come back to this world.
As I leave will you be someone to say good-bye As I leave will you be someone to wipe your eye
"Gohan..." Piccolo moaned into his hands as he covered his face. "Oh Kami Gohan come back to me..."
'I'm trying Piccolo' Gohan whispered in his own dark, cold mind. ' I just can't find the way, I'm so lost..'
'It's alright Gohan.' Goku's happy voice was watered down with painful sorrow as he connected his mind with that of his son's. ' Don't give up son. Bulma has cured you and now all you have to do is fight.'
'I don't have any more strength Dad. I'm not strong like you and Vegeta.'
'But you are Gohan...'
My foot is out the door, and you can't stop me now You wanted the best, it wasn't me, will you give it back
'Help me Dad, show me the way..'
'I'm sorry Gohan.. I know I have never been much of a father to you-'
'That's not true! Please Dad, take be home Daddy.'
'I can't go home with you Gohan, you need to listen to your heart, and fight your way out of this. Never give up Gohan.' Goku's voice began to fade. 'Never give up son..'
A choaked cry escaped from the demi-sayian's mouth as he fought for consciousness.
"That's it Gohan." Piccolo whispered, taking his hand. " Open your eyes, I know you can hear me brat now don't you give up."
Now i'll take the lead, when there's no more room to make it grow I'll see you again, you'll pretend you're naive, is this what you want
'DAD!! DON'T LEAVE ME AGAIN! DADDY!' Gohan started to cry and felt his grib falling away.
"Thats it Gohan." He heard Piccolo Whisper In his mind. " Open your eyes, I know you can hear me brat now don't you give up."
'Piccolo..' He moaned. 'I don't know how, I can't figure it out. Damn it why do I have to be so stupid! Piccolo help me, someone... help.. I- I can't do this alone.'
And the Darkness surrounded him.
'Damn, stupid, son of a Third-Rate Baka.' Vegeta appeared infront of him. 'Get up.'
'Vegeta.. I'm so weak Vegeta help me.'
'I said get up! Now listen to what I say damn it!'
Is this what you need, how you end up let me know.
As I go, remember all the simple things you know,
Gohan's body began to thrash violently. Blood dripped from his now brused cheak.
"Oh Kami! BULMA! GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!" Piccolo yelled to the weman on the other side of the door.
"What the fuck?!" She said seeing Gohan. "Why did you hit him!?"
"I didn't! It just happened!" Piccolo roared at her.
'Vegeta! Stop please!'
'Fight me you miserable piece of half-breed trash!' Vegeta yelled at him. 'FIGHT BRAT!'
And finally Gohan understood.
My mind is just a crutch and I still hope, that you will miss me when I'm gone, this is the last song.
"I don't understand what is happening, What is happening to my son Bulma?" Chichi asked as calmly as possible.
"I don't know Chi. It seems he's fighting himslf, But I don't understand how. It's not logical."
"He's trying to wake up." Chichi said hopefully.
"That," Piccolo started. "Or he is trying to kill himself. For all we know he could be in unimaginable pain and he is just trying to end it."
'Is that all you got?!' Yelled the Prince. 'The Onna could hit harder then you. But I should have guessed a half-breed like you would be so fucking weak.'
'Shut up Vegeta.' Gohan seethed. He was bleeding, and he knew several of his bones were broken. They had to be, it was the only explination for the pain he felt.
'What happened to the Great Saiya-Man?' The Prince laughed. 'Why havn't you transformed Brat? Lets take this battle to the next level.'
But he couldn't. He had tried and he just couldn't do it. Something was stopping him from becomming a Super Sayian..
The hearts start breaking as the year is gone The dream's beginning and the time rolls on it seems so surreal, now I sing it.
'I can't Vegeta, something is wrong with me.' Gohan said looking at the shorter man. 'What is going on?'
Vegeta looked angered at this. 'Damn it boy I can not show you the way!! You must find it on your own! If you do not you will die here! Is that what you want? To die? To leave your mate and family behind?'
'NO!'
'Well that is what you are doing you weak pathetic excuse for a sayian!' Vegeta yelled in return. 'Now transform!' He charged his mate's son and rammed a fist into the boy's stomach. 'Do it or I will kill you.'
'Stop this Vegeta!' Goku cried. 'Its not working! I told you it wouldn't! Gohan has to do it on his own!'
'Damn it Kakarotto!' Vegeta hissed.
'Leave him alone Vegeta. Gohan, you have to do this alone. I can't be saving you anymore.'
'Dad please! Vegeta! Help me! Show me the way-'
'No.' They both stated.
'We can't do that Gohan.' Goku said. 'We promised Yemma we would not interfere.'
Somehow I knew that I would be this way,
Somehow I knew that I would slowly fade.
Piccolo held the fighting boy until his body went ridged, and then lax. Gohan's breathing became regular again and Piccolo got off of the bed slowly.
Now i'm gone, just try and stop me now.
'Piccolo, help me...' Gohan whispered.
A bright light formed infront of him. 'Oh no.. Please no..'
'Beeeeeee'
"He's gone." Piccolo said to himself. A tear sliding down his face. "Damn it Gohan... Why?"
'No, I won't do it, YOU CAN'T MAKE ME GO INTO THE LIGHT YEMMA! IT'S NOT MY TIME! I'M NOT LEAVING PICCOLO ALONE!'And everything went black.
And will you need me now, you'll find a way somehow
"Piccolo.." Gohan's vioce whispered.
The Namek's head shot up in a second. "GOHAN?!"
"Piccolo.." He opened his eyes slightly. "Oh Piccolo.."
And they embraced for what seemed like the first time. The threat of the virus was finally over, they had beaten it...And they could finally be together...
You want it too, I want it too.
End
This story was created by Red-Chan. It had its laugh's and it had its cry's. It was praised and it was booed. And like every great story it came to a wonderful end. Happy Ever After. There will be no sequel. I apologise if you REALLY wanted one. But.. This is the End, this is the last song.
