Chapter : 13

********************

Goku was so excited, having a chance to finally go and see his family. He finally gets to see Chi Chi and Gohan, and before he left to go to tournament, he could only wonder. What has happened these past eight years? How is his wife Chi Chi, and Krillen, the z gang, and Bulma. He hadn't seen them in so long. How much had they changed by now?

Goku is currently meditating, trying to wait patiently for Baba to appear so that she could take him to the land of the living. Only two weeks ago had he achieved the third level of super sayain, so he knew that he was going to win, despite that Vegeta had made it to the second level four years ago. Goku had only bothered with watching Vegeta, as he knew that Gohan would be forced into studying by his mother.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about Gohan." He laughed to himself at his forgetfulness of his son. "I hope he hasn't gotten too weak under Chi Chi's rule.

" Goku, it is time." Baba said,getting Goku out of his meditation. " You don't want to be late , do you?" She said, noting that he didn't reply very quickly.

''Of course not Baba, let's go!" He ran up to Baba, and, if one was watching intently, they would see the biological father of Goten and Gohan disappearing. Though that was a little reassuring after he had eaten so much of the food that the dead had, despite the fact that he required no food since he was dead.

********************

Hikaru awoke to the sweet smell of breakfast. While she was no sayain, she did like good food, and usually could not resist the smell of sizzling crisp bacon, plump and juicy sausage, scrambled and fried eggs, toast, french toast, and . . . well the other smells just seemed to blend in with all of the others. She opened her eyes for the first time since she woke up and noticed that there were two arms wrapped around her, she was a little startled before she realized that they were Gohan's by the many scars running in many directions all over them. She also notice that he was not breathing in a way that signified that he was asleep.

"Gohan?" Hikaru said, hoping that he was awake. "What time is it, you don't want to be late for the tournament do you?" Thjis ngot her a small grunt of acknowledgement before he sat upd in the bed, bringing her with him as he kissed her on the cheek from behind. This caused Hikaru to blush before she giggled.

" I know," Gohan Daimo said, making Hikaru experience a tingling sensation on her neck where his breath hit it. When she shivered Gohan gently asked,"Is anything wrong? Are you okay Hikaru-chan?" The breath and blush both seemed to make her shiver again.

Hikaru stopped shivering by the time that she had replied," Yeah your breath is just making me feel weird" Hikaru was unused to these sensations, so the thought of them made her shiver again. And yes, she was very aware that she was shivering several times too many by now.

" Oh?" Gohan said, chuckling softly " And what should we do about that?" At this he floated upward, carrying her in his lap until he could get her into a bridal position. It was at this moment, that Hikaru decided to kiss him, rather forcefully at that, making Gohan slightly suprised at her strength. Gohan got the idea and returned the gesture, though a little less strongly, but more deftly.

"Onii-chan? What are you guys doing huh?" Goten said walking in with their breakfast that Popo himself had prepared for the lookout's . . . guests. THe two teenagers were very suprised, as both had been too caught up in their action to sense Goten coming toward their room.

" Well , what are you guys doing? Can I do it too?" Goten asked, seeing how fleetingly happy that they were. This got even Gohan to give a very shocked facial expression that almost made Goten suprised enough to soil himself, almost.

"No, Goten, not until you're fifteen, or else got a very good reason." HIkaru giggled at Gohan's statement, knowing full well what he meant. "Now everyone, let's eat and go to the tournament, we don't want our fans to get rowdy now do we?"

All present in the room smiled as Gohan regained his composure, "Now let us all dig in!" No one seemed to object to this, especially not Goten.

********************

"Hi guys!" Goku said startling the group of people who had been waiting for him, many of which were freaks, a three eyed man, a talking cat, a talking pig, a blue haired bimbo, a midget in orange clothing that he hasn't changed out of since he first started training, an old lady tring to seem young, a man who looked like the world's largest vegetable, and a weakling who had scars all over his face.

Goku himself was in a gi he hadn't taken off in eight years, he was also smiling that smile that made the group of people laugh, though it made a smaller group behind them frown.

"Goku!" All of the freaks screamed out at once, the two females trying to get hugs, and all of the males trying to shake his hand, though Vegeta Briefs just stood there smirking that his rival was finally back from the dead.

Amidst all of the warm hugging, the firm handshakes, and all the joyous laughter, everyone heard a snarl befores they were all thrown off to the side.

********************

Gohan Daimo, Hikaru Shidou, and Goten Daimo all walked hand in hand, making them seem like the perfect family, if not a bit young. Piccolo Daimo himself walked behind them not minding the comforting solace of being near, Dende, the guardian and god of the earth itself, walked next to Piccolo, as he too was joing the tournament. After all, one wouldn't think that he wouldn't know a few tricks by now after spending years with Piccolo now would they?

Dende stood about as strong a Krillen and Yamcha put together, which made him about one third as strong as Piccolo, which made Piccolo about half as strong as Gohan Daimo is without going up to super sayain. And with the time that Gohan spent in the hyperbolic time chamber right before coming here, Gohan was about twenty percent stronger than before, so how Dende and Piccolo compare to him is based on how strong he was before that.

As they approached the area in which the fighters would pick their numbers for the battle, Hikaru pointed out somethig that Gohan was already aware of, "Hey, Gohan, aren't those the people who made you leave here?" Indeed, it was the very same ones, that Gohan had come back for revenge upon.

This made all the Nameks in their group, along with Gohan smirk, as they all had the same thing in mind, / Time to finish phase one. / They all sent this message to each and smirked wider.

"Yes, thank you Hikaru - chan, shall I repay you now, or later?" THis made Hikaru blush as she remembered, their little make out session earlier. He was answered by an embarrassed, whisper of 'later'. "Alright, I'll wait. Now Piccolo, Dende, you guys know what to do?" Gohan asked, looking over his shoulder wearing a smirk identical to Piccolo's. They both nodded as they sent a mental link to all of the fighters in the z-gang, Gohan did the exact same thing. Then they sent their power signal at its maximum to their minds, making them all hear what sounded like an animalistic growl, or snarl.

Goten then made Gohan prou=d as he used his now powerful ki to send the group ahead of them to the side, with the exception of Trunks, which made the Nameks proud, since they were the one's to teach both him and Gohan specific detailing and control.

Gohan walked forward, with Hikaru still at his side before he stopped in the middle of where the others were standing seconds before. He turned to Trunks, and grinned ever so slightly,"Would you like to join us Trunks? We were just heading toward the area where they determine the junior world martial arts championship, and I'm sure you didn't want to wait for these idiots to get up."

Trunks eagerly agreed, feeling no sympathy for his parents, if one could call them that. All that they did was fuck all day, and if Vegeta got hold of some viagra, all night as well. Needless to say, they could put a family of rabbits to shame. They only bought him things, at least every once in awhile. They were like freaking puritans, but with condoms and pil;ls.

"Ok, let's go!" Said Hikaru, leading them to the match determination area.

********************

"Who were they?" Goku asked very confused as to how normal people, could have possibly done that. It is quite a shame that after all this time Goku had yet to figure out that a normal person is just someone you don't know very well. He also wondered how that man had so much control over Trunks, no, not control, persuasion would be more fitting. Though persuasion is just another big word that Son Goku could not pronounce.

"That was Gohan, that bastard." Krillen said, greatly confuseing Goku even further , as well as make him angry at his best friend. What could have happened to make Krillen so hostile towards Gohan?

" Krillen, don't say that about my son!" Goku yelled, making all of them confused even Chi Chi, who was hanging on to his arm like she would die if she didn't.

"What do you mean Goku? He killed you,we had every right to . ." Yamcha was cut off by Goku, who was truly furiously curious.

" Right to what!" Goku practically shouted. This made the others rethink their approach to this.

" To punish him accordingly, he murdered you, a strong sayain warrior. Not only that but he actually cried, after killing you, he is an insult to fighters everywhere!" Vegeta said, making Goku come to a realization. They couldn't mean . . . did they . . .?

"What did all of you do?" He said deathly quiet.

" We beat him to the point that he had to run away like the coward he is into space." Suprisingly, it was Chi Chi who said this to her husband. " Little bastard actually had the audacity to bleed on our doorstep." She said this with such anger Goku stepped away from them, pulling out of Chi Chi's grasp.

Bulma, being the dense genius that she is, said, " I'm sorry Goku, but my new sayain proof weapons weren't finished yet, so I couldn't help take revenge upon him." Goku gasped, as it all dawned on him, this was his fault.

" How could you dop this!" He said, he knew it was all his fault but they didn't have the right to do that to his son. " He was just a little boy who accidently messed up while trying to make someone suffer for doing something We couldn't prevent. Not only that, but it was My choice to leave and protect everyone that way, not him, he didn't make me leave. To think, I was actually looking forward to seeing you guys, I'm sorry, but get away from me. I refuse to contact you until I sort this out with Gohan." This speech was nearly screamed at them.

As he was walking away from the cowards he said," Chi Chi, I never thought I would say this, but you should be prepared in case I decide to get a divorce from you." With these final words, the warrior named Son Goku headed in the direction that Gohan had went, leaving a very stunned crowd murmering in contempt. Not that they hated Gohan any less, they just thought that he was to blame for Goku hatred toward them. If one were to watch the exchange, they might wonder if the group of freaks even heard the man yelling at them.

A/N : I thought I was goiung to cover the first fight in this chapter, but my hands had other plans, I would like to thank every one who has reviewed thus far, as I never would have gone this far without you. Don't worry, Goku and Gohan will not get along, and tell me your ideas for hoow the next chapter should go. Also, as my last note for this chapter, I finished this chapter a week ago, but my computer was messed up, so I couldn't do anything on the internet unless I went to a friends house, and I don't have any disks, so please don't think I was being THAT lazy.
