Yeah it's me again with another chapter! I don't own dbz or the characters!



Ease My Pain Chapter 14

AN: I just wanted clarify about a comment that someone made. They said, "Drugs are not all that bad." I believe they are, when it's illegal, especially and if you use any drug that's not illegal it's still dangerous if your abusing it. Take what the doctor gives you don't abuse it. Your life is more important than that!



The mansion that gohan arrived at was big and looked well secured. "Mace this place looks well guarded you think will get out of here alive!" said zedrick sort of scared "Listen when I tell you boys to spray it! I MEAN IT! Let me do all the talking and DON'T say anything unless I ask you!"

Gohan felt sort of nervous cause he never really played the bad guy! It started to really come clear to him that he really let himself get into some deep trouble. They went to the door and a guy with a gun strapped to his waist opened the door and led them to the main room in the back and they went in and the guy closed the door.

An older guy was sitting in the chair with two guys strapped with guns standing behind him. "Hi mace! You have the money?"

Mace looked at the guy and snapped his finger and zedrick pulled out the briefcase and gave it to mace. Mace put the briefcase on the table and opened it. A million dollars was in the briefcase.

"Brilliant, brilliant! You have exactly what I want! Now let me give you what you deserve!"



The guy pulled out a gun and open fire at mace who moved real fast cause he saw him coming with it and accidentally shot one of his men. Zedrick took out his gun and shot the two guys that were standing behind the older guy sitting in the chair and mace shot the older guy that was sitting the chair. "Let's get out of here!" said mace who grabbed his money and checked the guy he shot for drugs and he didn't' have any on him. Mace was angry cause he was going to trick him and instead, he got tricked.



They all ran out the door and bullets started coming from different directions and gohan put his shield up. "Gohan why don't you use that gun that I gave you!" said mace getting upset.



Gohan didn't want to use his gun or kill anybody. A lot of men got shot and gohan got out his gun and fired it. They all manage to get out the door and gohan let down his shield and they got in the car and more shots were fired and zedrick got hit in the arm and mace got hit in the leg with gohan getting grazed on his shoulder. Zedrick put his foot on the gas and they sped off real fast. Zedrick was driving with one arm groaning in pain and mace was in a lot pain also.



Mace turned around and looked at gohan who was sitting in the back of the car. "You IDIOT! Why did you let down your shield?!"



"Cause I figure we didn't need it! There were no more shots fired!"

"Whenever we come from a place like this NEVER let down your shield!" said mace angry and in pain. Gohan felt like a puppet on a string when it came to mace. They drove back to mace's place and everyone got out and went in.

Mace had one of his servants, who is trained medically to take a look at him and zedrick. Mace didn't notice that gohan had blood on his shirt coming from his shoulder. He didn't get shot it just grazed his skin.

Mace was angry at gohan and so was zedrick for letting them get shot.



Gohan was in the living room part of the house sitting down wishing that he never got involved with mace. Mace and zedrick were in the other room with the servant who just removed the bullets from zedrick and mace.



"I could kill that stupid PUNK for letting down that shield!" said zedrick grabbing his arm. "Sometimes I wonder did he do that on purpose! Cause if he did he's going to pay!" said mace.



Mace's servant let them both go and they both went in the living room. Mace servant walked out in the living room and saw blood on gohans shirt. "Did you get hurt to?"

Gohan looked at his shirt. "Oh, the bullet just grazed my shoulder it doesn't hurt that much I'll be fine!" said gohan. The servant guy came over and looked at his shoulder. "It looks like you need to get it bandage! Leaving it open like that is not good!"



The guy took some bandages and wrapped his wound and left the room. Mace looked at gohan angry. "How DARE you let down your shield and allow us to get SHOT!"



"I didn't let down my shield for you two to get shot we were almost in the car and I didn't hear any shots fired so don't BLAME me!" said gohan angry.



"DON'T BLAME ME! HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT!" shouted mace.

Gohan stood up and put his gun and cell phone on the table. "Mace, find someone else to do your dirty work I QUIT!"



"HEY! You can't quit I told you once your in your in!"



Gohan looked at mace with an angry look on his face. "Did I stutter?! I said I QUIT!"



Mace grabbed gohan by the collar and pointed a gun in his face. "Look here you no good piece of TRASH you QUIT when I SAY YOU QUIT!! Gohan yanked away from him and stepped back. Mace had his gun pointed towards gohan. "Don't make me hurt you!" said mace.



"Hey mace, why don't we just let him go! We don't need him!" said zedrick. "Just shut up zedrick! He knows too much and seen too much!



"Look I don't want to do this ANYMORE! If you want to kill me fine then just get it over with! But if you do you'll have to find someone else!"

Mace looked at him with an evil smirk. "Ok you want to quit?! FINE then do it! But there is always payback!"



Gohan felt afraid on the inside but he didn't let mace or zedrick figure out that he was, and he didn't care what mace said or anything of what anyone said. Gohan turned to walk out the door.

"Your going to be sorry gohan if you leave!" said mace. Gohan didn't care he just wanted to get out of there! He knew that he wasn't taught to live like a gangster and his parents always taught him to go against evil not work for evil. Gohan left out the door breathing a sigh of relief and flew away.

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

Chichi and Ethan were on the couch kissing and drinking champagne and they both were sort of drunk. Goten was spending the night at trunks. "Chichi I want you to marry me and get a divorce and come live with me in the city and stop living out here in the mountains."



Laughing. "Oh Ethan your crazy! I'm not ready yet to move! Sighs. I don't know if I'm ready to leave my husband. It's so hard to let go, and my sons.. I think about their future."



"Chichi, I can take care of you and your sons I make good money! Kissing her hands. "Think about it!"

"Ok, I'll think about!" said chichi.



Ethan took out some marijuana and told chichi what it was. "I never really smoked this Ethan!" "Well try it you'll like it! I smoke it sometimes!" said Ethan. Chichi and Ethan both smoked it. They both start laughing and were still drinking champagne and kissing.



Gohan came through the door and it was a little pass his curfew. Chichi heard the door close and she looked at the time and saw gohan. "Gohan your twenty minutes late! Don't you know what time to GET home?!!" Gohan already felt bad about being with mace and he didn't want to hear his mom. "I'm sorry mom I didn't mean to be late!"



Chichi got off the couch and walked up to him drunk and angry. "How DARE YOU COME HOME LATE!! Slapping him across his face.

"MOM? I didn't mean to!" said gohan holding his cheek.

"Don't you DARE talk back to ME!"



"Mom? I..."



"SHUT UP!!"

Chichi punched gohan in his face really hard she didn't realize what she did cause she was intoxicated from drinking and from smoking marijuana. Gohan hit the floor and felt pain in his jaw. He was shocked he never thought that his mom would ever hit him and, so hard.

Ethan got up and told chichi to stop it. "Chichi what are you doing?! Do you realize what you did?!"



Chichi looked at Ethan in shock and started crying. "What did I just do?!" said chichi surprised. Gohan got up off the floor with a little blood coming from his mouth. He was so shocked from what just happened he thought his mother loved him and she would never try and hurt him.

Ethan looked at gohan. "Gohan are you ok?" said Ethan going to touch his shoulder.

"Please Ethan don't touch me! Just leave me alone!" Ethan pulled his hand back. "Gohan your mother didn't mean that! She's just drunk she doesn't know what she's doing!"



Gohan turned and walked in his bedroom and slammed the door. Gohan went and sat on his bed with his knees pulled up to his chest and tears streaming down his face wondering why she would do such a thing and if she really loved him anymore. All he could think about was the emotional pain of his mother not giving him a chance to explain. "How could she do this to me? I didn't mean to come in late it wasn't done on purpose! I'm so tired of THIS!"



Chichi was on the couch crying and Ethan was holding her. "Chichi I think we should call it a night! I think we had enough of drinking!"

Chichi was crying and talking to Ethan. "H-How c-could I do that to him? I've never hit my son! Oh my god, I never asked him if he was ok?!"



Chichi was going to get up to see gohan but Ethan stopped her. "Chichi I asked him and he went to his room. I'm sure he's ok just hurt by what you did. Why don't I take you to your room and you can go to sleep and I'm going to go home."

"Ok Ethan."



He walked her to her room and left the house. Chichi had a hard time going to sleep cause she couldn't get off her mind what she did to gohan but she finally went to sleep.



Gohan stayed up half the night hurting emotionally from what his mom did. He started to hate being there with his mother he even started to hate his life also. Gohan got up and slipped out his window and flew into the woods far off.

He landed by a tree and sat down under the tree and pulled out some ecstasy, another one of maces joints he stole and smoked it until it was all gone. Gohan was in so much emotional pain that the effects of the drug had very little affect on him. He wished the pain would go away. He laid up against the tree wishing that one of his dad's old enemies would just come and blast him out of his misery.

After falling asleep for a couple of hours gohan woke up and headed back to his house and slipped through his window his mom didn't know he left. He changed his clothes and crawled in bed and went back to sleep.

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

The next day at master roshi's house goku came downstairs and sat down on the couch thinking of ways that he could talk his wife into getting back together he didn't care about what she said he didn't want a divorce. "Hey goku? You going outside to train?" said krillen.



"Sorry krillen, not right now! I have too many things on my mind." "Like what?!" asked krillen curious. "Like trying to talk my wife out of a divorce!"

"Your kidding? Right, goku!"



"No! Chichi asked for a divorce! I just can't see myself doing that, krillen! My family MEANS to MUCH TO ME! I'm sorry krillen I don't mean to sound angry but I can't help it! If chichi knew that gohans been doing wild stuff she lose it!"



Master roshi walks in. "Hey goku what's going on you went upstairs the other day and said you didn't feel well! Are you okay?"



"I think so. I just don't want to get a divorce!"

"Chichi asked for a divorce?" said master roshi.

"Yes she did! Sometimes I don't think she really meant it! Then...I don't know either!" said goku.



"Well maybe you should divorce her!" said master roshi. "Master roshi! It's not that easy! I still love chichi I'm not willing to just let her go!"

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

Chichi was making breakfast so she could get gohan to come eat. Cause usually the smell gets him out of bed and rushing to the table. She finished making breakfast and usually he would be at the table before his mom finished breakfast.

Gohan was laying in bed and he did smell breakfast but he didn't want any, he just wanted to lay there and pretend that no one was around and the pain he felt wasn't real. But it was too real.

He got up and went to the bathroom and put the lid down on the toilet and just sat there still hurting about last night. Gohan thought if he keeps this up he'll make himself sick. Gohan looked up and caught his face in the mirror and saw a nasty bruise by his mouth and under his eye.

Getting up and getting closer to the mirror he touched his face and felt the pain. "I can't believe this, my mom left a bruise on my face. Well I have to say I do bruise when someone hits me hard enough! This is just great! Now how am I going to go in public with this it looks like I've been fighting! I guess I'll just say I was training with my dad."

Gohan got up and walked back in his room and crawled back in bed not wanting to talk or eat, wishing that this was a dream and anytime he would wake up from this nightmare.



Chichi wanted to walk in gohans room but she didn't know if he wanted to talk to her after last night. She went and walked in gohans room quickly. Swallowing hard. "Gohan, sweetie, please don't shut me out? Can we talk?"



Gohan rolled his eyes turning on his back looking at her. "Mom go away I don't want to talk now!"



"Listen I'm sorry about last night I didn't mean to do it! I was being stupid and I was drunk! Please don't shut down!"

"Mom I don't feel like talking now!"

"Can I bring you breakfast?!" said chichi hoping he say yes.

"No mom I don't feel like eating!"



Chichi walked closer to the bed and saw the bruise on his face something inside her wanted to scream. Chichi couldn't stand being in the room with her son after what she did to him last night. She faked a smile and left the room closing the door. She went to her room and started crying cause she knew she hurt her son emotionally.



There was a knock on the door. Chichi wiped her face and cleared her throat and opened the door.

"Hi chichi can I come in!" "Oh goku what a surprise I wasn't expecting you!" "Are you busy with Ethan?" "No come in Ethan's not here!" Goku closed the door and felt a little disturbance. "What's wrong chichi? You don't seem like yourself."

Chichi wished goku didn't come by cause it just wasn't the time to talk. "Nothing goku. Its nothing I can't handle. So what did you come by for?"

"I wanted to talk about us and our family."



"What is there to say when I've already told you I want a divorce!?



"Chichi I know you don't appreciate what I did by leaving my family but I know deep down you still love me!"

"HOW do YOU know I still love you?!!"



Goku came and sat down next to her on the couch. "Chichi why are you making this difficult?! I'm your husband I know you!" Chichi starting shedding a few tears. "Chichi what's wrong did something upset you?! Or did I upset you?"

"No goku. Why don't you just leave I need to think about us I need to go get some air." She got up and walked outside. Goku looked confused wondering what's wrong.

Goku got up and decided to see gohan. Knocking on his door and walking in his room. "Please mom I don't feel like talking!" "It's not your mother it's me!"



Gohan turned over and saw his dad. "Hi son. Why are you in the bed? You feeling ok?" Gohan put the pillow over his head. "Dad I'm just tired I don't want to talk to anyone!"

"Gohan it's not going to hurt to look at me and say hello! I promise I won't stay since your tired."



Gohan didn't want his dad to see his face. "Please dad could I just have some privacy?" "Ok gohan but I want us to train later! Come by the house about sometime this afternoon."



"Does it have to be today? I don't feel like training!"

"Gohan your fighting skills are lousy you need to keep training! If you can't come by later then get up and let's train now!"

"Wow DAD your not giving me a CHOICE!"

"No I'm NOT! Gohan, you hardly visit! I would like for us to spend some time together! Also do you know what's wrong with your mother? She's acting strange like theirs something bugging her!" said goku concerned.



"I don't know? Her and Ethan were together last night maybe he said something to her!"



"Well I'll see you later! Remember at master roshi's this afternoon."



Still with the pillow over his head and rolling his eyes. "Yeah dad."



Goku left the room and left to go talk with chichi. Gohan didn't want his dad to see his bruised face and he wasn't ready to talk with his mom either. Gohan got up and went in the kitchen to have some breakfast and goku was talking to chichi outside. Gohan tried to eat but he was just to stressed to eat. He put his fork down and left his plate with a lot of food on it.

He went to take a shower so he could go over master roshi's house. Chichi came back in the house and goku left. She walked to the table and saw a very little breakfast eaten. She was glad that gohan ate something even though he usually finishes everything.

Later on gohan landed in front of master roshi house he didn't explain to his mom about going to master roshi's house cause goku told her. She figured it would be better for her and gohan to have some breathing space cause she knew he wasn't ready to speak to her.

Gohan had his shades on and goku came out the door. "What's with the shades? I know the suns bright but you never wear shades. Gohan knew if he trained with his dad that he wouldn't be able to hide his bruised face. He didn't want his dad to know but sooner or later he would probably find out. He took his sunglasses off.

"GOHAN! What happen to your face?! Did you get beat up?!" Goku walked up to him and looked at his face. He had a bruise under his eye and by his mouth. "Ok gohan I know you must have gotten beaten up by someone!"



Tears started to swell up in his eyes. "No dad!"

"Did you train with piccolo and forgot to take some sensu beans!"

"No dad I haven't been training with anyone!"

"Ok who hit you?"

"You wouldn't believe it if I told you!"

"Try me!"

Sighs. "It was mom."

"WHAT! YOUR MOTHER HIT YOU!! How? What got into her?"

"Champagne and marijuana! If you want to know HOW I know it's because I saw the champagne bottle and I smelled marijuana on her and Ethan."

Goku started to get angry. "Why did your mom hit you?"

"Cause I was twenty minutes late on my curfew and I tried to explain to her and she got mad and thought I was talking back and she slapped me and then she punched me!"

"No wonder she was upset she felt bad about what she did!" said goku.

"She wasn't the only one feeling hurt!" Gohan started crying. "Dad how could she! What is wrong with her?! I can't believe she did this to me!"



Goku couldn't help but believe his son and hug him. Goku knew deep down that gohan was deeply hurt about it and him and chichi have to do something cause he can see that it's tearing his son apart.

Goku looked at gohans puffy face from crying and tried to comfort him as best as he could. Goku didn't know if training would be on the agenda today cause he saw the pain in his son's eyes. "I need to talk to your mom, RIGHT NOW?!"

"NO! Dad please don't I don't want you to argue about this! I'll come home on time for now on!" "Gohan! This is NOT your FAULT! DON'T blame yourself! Your mom should know better then to hit you like that! I'm going over there right now and have a few words with her!"

Goku ran and flew away leaving gohan feeling scared and wondering what will happen.
