I'm back again with another chapter. I don't own dbz or the characters.

Ease My Pain chapter 31

Another week had passed by and gohan was finally released from the hospital he already had been home since they released him yesterday. Gohan was able to walk on his own and go in and outside but his mom didn't want him over doing it cause the doctor told him to rest and no lifting or too much bending for a week.

Gohan was in his room cause he was told to rest he was tired of being in the bed cause he was in the hospital for about a month. His mom walked in to give him his medicine. "Mom do I have to take that medicine again?" said gohan complaining.

"Gohan this medicine is for infection it's not for pain you have to take this for a week cause when you go back to the doctor they want to make sure the infection is gone so stop complaining!" said chichi.

"I've taken so much medicine when I was in the hospital that you would think the infection cleared up."

"Well the doctor said he saw some still there, and you have no choice unless you want to go back to the hospital and stay another month!"

"Uhh! That's ok mom I rather take the medicine." Said gohan "If you need any pain medicine let me know and I'll give it to you." Said chichi smiling leaving out the room.

Gohan took his medicine and drink the juice and laid back down in bed hoping that the weeks would go by cause being at home was sometimes boring and especially if you have a mother that's always on top of you. Gohan was tired and started to fall asleep.

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

"Hey videl aren't you glad gohans home now?" said erasa.

"Yeah and not in the hospital. I'm glad we were able to see him with his parent's permission. Only thing I didn't like was his mom it's like she blamed us for poisoning gohan." Said videl.

"Well I'm glad his dad isn't accusing us of hurting gohan." Said erasa. "I'm glad too. You know what erasa have you noticed that Bray hasn't been around?" "Yeah just to think about it he hasn't. I don't think he saw gohan in the hospital either."

"That's weird I thought Bray and gohan were friends?" said videl. "That's what I thought." Said erasa. "I ask Brandon the other day where's bray and he said he hasn't really seen him and bray told him that he was sick." Said videl.

"Bray should have said something about being sick." Said erasa. Well I didn't see him in school today so I guess I missed him or he wasn't there." Said videl. "Well I better go videl and finish doing the rest of the dishes before my parents get home I'll see you later!" "Ok erasa bye!"

Laying in the bed gohan sat up and looked around the room "Wow my room looks weird my mom must of came in and changed things. That medicine sure makes me feel sleepy I don't think I want to get out of bed." Gohan laid back down and someone came in the room dressed in scrubs like from the hospital.

Gohan looked up and couldn't figure out or make out whom it was but it looked like his dad. "Hi gohan I believe its time for your medicine."

"What are you talking about? Dad, would you stop playing around it wasn't a whole lot of fun being in the hospital."

Then all of a sudden two more figures came in the room with chichi and goku and they all surrounded his bed. "Mom why are you guys bringing guest to my room and dad I thought you were the one bringing my medicine." Then the figure that was wearing the scrubs removed his mask.

"YOU! What are you doing here zedrick?!" said gohan surprised. Then all of a sudden wrist straps grabbed gohans wrist and it strapped him to the bed and mace appeared in the room. "Mace! What are you DOING HERE?!" yelled gohan with anger.

Gohan was struggling to break free. "I came to give you your last dose." Said mace smiling and started laughing. Zedrick handed mace a tray with a syringe on it full of the MP9-7. Gohan was struggling to break free but he had a hard time cause his body was weak and still recovering from being in the hospital. "Mom, dad! Please, don't stand THERE he's the ONE that's trying to kill me!!"

"Shall I do thee honors?" said mace talking to chichi and goku. They both smiled and mace came close to the bed with the needle and was about to inject gohan but gohan yelled at the top of his lungs and powered up and the straps broke. "Noooo!! I WON'T LET YOU DO THIS TO ME AGAIN!!" Gohan jumped out of bed and hit mace real hard where he flew through the wall.

Gohan was yelling when he awaken out of his nightmare and started to power up. Chichi and goku came running in the room. "Gohan, what's wrong, calm down or your going to put a hole in the ceiling!"

Gohan tried to gather his thoughts and then he started to calmed down but he was still upset and goku sat on the side of the bed and touched both his shoulders while chichi stood back cause she could feel gohans power as she looked worried. Gohan bent over and started grabbing his stomach with his eyes close feeling pain again like in the beginning when it first started.

"Oh no! Goku, I think he's real sick again!" said chichi worried. "Gohan, speak to us are you ok?" "Goku, can't you see he's not ok?" Goku was worried himself. "Chichi, I think something upset him and we should calm him down and find out what's going on! Gohan listen to me, it's all right!" said goku.

Chichi was afraid that her son would end up back in the hospital again. Gohan finally calmed down and the pain started going away cause that dream scared him.

Chichi went and got some water and gave it to gohan to drink. After gohan sipped some of the water he started telling chichi and goku about what he dreamed. Sighs. "It was awful I don't want to go through that pain again it was a nightmare being in the hospital!" said gohan still shaken up.

Chichi came on the other side of the bed and touched gohans shoulder. "Listen gohan it's going to be ok. Your not in the hospital and me and your father would never try or give permission to anyone to inject you with that poison."

"Yeah, after the pain we saw you go through I wouldn't wish that on vegita." Said goku.

"It's going to be ok gohan just lay down and try and rest." Said chichi worried.

"Mom I don't think I want to go to sleep now that dream was AWFUL!" "Son your suppose to be resting you just got out of the hospital yesterday!" "Mom I've been in bed since this morning can I get out and walk around outside for a while being in bed is frustrating."

"Absolutely NOT! Are you forgetting your still weak you can't just go outside and walk around you might get sick!" said chichi.

"Chichi let's not over do it I know gohan just got home yesterday but he has to walk around sometime."

"Mom I'm not in any pain I feel fine."

Gohan didn't want to sleep cause he was afraid of another bad nightmare. "Look chichi I'll go outside with gohan if that will make you feel better don't worry, gohan, could use some air he just had a nightmare."

Sighs. "Ok but please be careful." Chichi was worried about her son and she wanted to protect him in everyway she could.

Goku and gohan went outside and walked around for a little in the woods but not too far from the house cause chichi was worried and goku didn't want to walk gohan to far cause he knew his strength and energy was low. Goku and gohan sat on one of the rocks and talked for a while.

"I'm glad you wasn't able to power up anymore cause if you did you would have burned the whole room up." "I think powering up like that made me feel weak." "That's because your body is weak right now gohan. The infection in your body caused your immune system to go down and trying to power up will steal all of your energy that you need to recover." Said goku.

Gohan was quiet and didn't' say anything and goku looked at him wondering what was wrong. "Gohan are you ok?" "That dreamed scared me and it just makes me angry that maces sitting back gloating while I'm here recovering from his doing!" "Gohan you can't worry about mace believe me he'll have his day!"

"Yeah when?! How come dad you haven't went after him?!" "Cause I needed to find out who he was and what person I'm dealing with I just can't walk right into this guys house without a plan."

"Plan, he's the one that did this to me! You don't need a PLAN just beat the mess out of him!"

"Gohan are you sure he did it or..........

Interrupting. "Dad what are you talking about? He's the only one I know with that drug theirs no one else with it and since I didn't see mace he could have had one of his hired men to give it to me but I didn't see any of them either."

"Gohan tell me why would you want to get involved with a killer?"

"I really didn't get so involved dad it was a trick to get me in and one mistake I did make was agreeing to selling drugs for him and next thing I knew I was going places with him and zedrick and all kinds of awful stuff was happening."

"Gohan how could you we, didn't teach you to be stupid." "I know dad but since YOU wasn't AROUND that was what I was doing and I didn't care!"

"Oh, so since I left it was OK to go get involved in drugs and crime. I wouldn't be surprised if they threatened our family cause you didn't do what mace wanted."

"Don't remind me."

"Oh so he did." said goku.

Gohan didn't say anything but looked at the ground with an angry look on his face wishing that mace was in front of him so he could so he could make him suffer. Goku wanted to find out who this mace guy was but he didn't want to just walk up in this guy's house but then, he just might do that.

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

Bray was sitting in his room and Brandon knocked on the door and announced himself walking in. "Hey bray what's up your mom told me it was ok to come up."

"Well nothing."

"Well could you tell me what's going on cause you really have been avoiding me lately. Are you feeling ok or what's going on?"

"I've had my days Brandon but there is something I need to tell you but you can't tell a soul or I'm in big trouble!" "Don't tell me you got one of the girls at school pregnant!" said Brandon.

"No Brandon, it's not like that!" "Ok I think I better sit down for this one." "Well you might get mad at me for this but please here me out!"

"Ok bray what did you do!"

Bray was sort of nervous. "Well you see........I-I..............I'm the one that poison gohan." Said bray quickly.

Brandon looked at him and laughed. "Bray have you been getting high off crystal and morphine you have got to be.................

Bray grabbed Brandon by the collar. "BRANDON THIS ISN'T FUNNY!"

Bray let go of Brandon and sat on the chair. Brandon fell down in the chair like if he had the shock of his life. "Your-not-kidding." Bray had his head down and he looked up at Brandon. "No Brandon I'm not kidding I poisoned gohan."
