It's another chapter again. I don't own dbz or the characters.

Ease My Pain chapter 34

"Chichi, what went on and what started the argument?" Chichi knew she didn't want to say but she should of realized that sooner or later she was going to have to tell goku about her getting drunk with ethan.

"I was drunk yesterday when gohan came home from school and I was with ethan." Goku felt like his heart drop out of his body. "Chichi how could you? What were you thinking?!"

"Look don't you start too!"

Goku was upset. "Don't start! Chichi, how could you want to get drunk with him after we've been trying to work things out?! I know it hasn't been the greatest but I thought you really loved me and wanted to get back together!"

"Goku listen to me?!" Chichi was going to touch goku's shoulder and he shrugged away. Chichi got mad. "Am I diseased now?!"

"Chichi that's not it! How could you want to see another man! Is this some joke to you to be playing with my feelings?!" yelled goku. "I'm not playing with your feelings goku it's just I was mad yesterday after we argued and I just made the dumbest move by seeing ethan."

"Listen chichi if were going to get our marriage on track we can't be trying to sedate our anger with getting drunk and inviting over an old fling." "Ethan is not a fling goku he is a good man who has a job and very supportive!"

"So........ I don't have a job and you just figure it's ok to start seeing ethan again! No wonder gohan was upset with you!"

"So I'm the blame for making gohan sick?!"

"He probably wouldn't have started to get sick if you guys wasn't arguing!"

"Goku you can't blame me for this he could have been sick already!"

"Chichi, gohan doesn't really get sick at all he's totally healthy until this creep mace poisoned him! Look, let's just quit going back and forth on this and let me concentrate and see if I can pick up gohans power level." Goku was trying to concentrate and he couldn't pick up his energy. Sighs. "Darn! I can't pick up anything! Maybe he's hiding it!"

"That's just great I don't think he wants to be found and I can't believe I threw that dish at him!" Chichi grabbed her hair cause she was frustrated. "Uhh!! How could I be so stupid?!"

"Chichi why did you throw a dish at gohan?"

"He raised his voice at me and I got angry and threw it and it missed him and then he said he hated me and that's when he started having pain." Chichi started crying. "H-How could I upset him like that?"

Goku was upset with chichi cause she broke his heart again but he couldn't help but hold her cause he knew deep down she was upset and worried about gohan and she made a stupid mistake. "Listen chichi let's go out in the woods and see if gohan is somewhere sitting under a tree or on a rock I think he's ok he's a strong kid." Said goku holding chichi. Goku didn't want to argue about Ethan but he didn't want to be in denial either but now it was time to find out where gohan went.

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

Gohan was in the city park sitting on the bench with his head back and arms folded resting cause he was stressed from arguing. He flew there without anyone seeing him he had walked through the forest for a while and then when he felt better he decided to fly.

Gohan wondered if his parents were ever going to really make up and sometimes he felt that some of the reason his parents were fighting a lot was cause of him. He couldn't help but think about the words that he said to his mother, that he hated her, he didn't mean to say that but sometimes he felt like it. Gohan sat there for about thirty minutes clearing his mind not thinking about anything.

"Hey you? What's up?"

Gohan looked up and sitting next to him was videl. She smiled at him. "Oh hey videl what are you doing out here?" "I always come out here walking and jogging sometimes or me and erasa ride our bikes, but I'm alone today I wanted to get out of the house I was bored and my dad's out of town this weekend he's opening a new dojo in another city so he went for the grand opening and to meet the new teachers."

"Well at least your dad isn't arguing with you."

"Wow gohan did something happen today?"

"Well yeah I got into a big argument with my mom a couple of hours ago and she threw a dish at me I told her I hated her."

"Are you ok? The dish didn't hit you did it?" asked videl.

"No it didn't."

"If you don't mind me asking what sparked the argument?" Gohan explained what happened he didn't realize why he was telling videl and usually sometimes guy's talk to other guys about their problems.

"Wow, I see why you guys argued." "Yeah, ever since my mom has been seeing Ethan we have arguments sometimes." "I thought your mom wanted to get back with your dad?" "I thought so to but I don't know what made her want to get drunk with Ethan."

"Well let's get your mind off your worries lets take a walk on the trail." Said videl. "I don't know videl I really don't feel like walking there are too many family's in this park and seeing them just makes it more depressing."

"Ok, why don't we go back to my house and have an early lunch."

"But won't you get in trouble?" "No, cause my dad is not home and some of our servants have the weekend off and it's just the maid and the cooks who are their and they usually stay in their rooms when they don't have to do anything." Gohan and videl left the park in her copter.

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

Mace was sitting at his desk and zedrick walked in. "Hey mace I couldn't get the guy to take down gohan." "Why not?!" said mace getting upset. "Cause he's dead!"

"That's just great, one of my good assassins dead! How was that?!" asked mace frustrated. "He was outnumbered by some undercover cops and they took him down."

"That doesn't sound good cause some of the guys that he dealt with are back stabbers and if the police get in touch with these guys they will leak information about what he did and who he worked for. I don't need any cops showing up on my front door and asking questions with search warrants. We better lay low and forget about the assassin just get me someone who you think will do the job."

"Who do you think I should get?" Said zedrick. "Who ever you think will do the job and make sure you be careful who you talk with cause we might have snitches among us and I don't want any trouble!" said mace.

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

"Gohan, gohan!" yelled chichi. "Gohan, gohan..... gohan!" yelled goku.

"I wonder where is he?? He knows we get worried!" Said chichi.

"Maybe he walked off further." Said goku. "I hope he's not hurt or sick?" said chichi worried. "Maybe he just wanted to walk off some of that anger before he comes home." Said goku.

"Well if he did I wish he tell us where he was going!" said chichi.

"I don't think that was going to happen but let's go back to the house chichi cause gohan is not in this area and I don't sense him right now and maybe he went to talk with piccolo." They both were worried but goku told chichi that gohan would be ok.

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

Videl and gohan were sitting in her family room on the couch watching TV. "Are you sure you don't want a pastrami sandwich?" "No I'm not really hungry." "Wow gohan are you really that stressed cause usually........... you eat a lot, sometimes, at least it will get your mind off of the fight you had this morning with your mother."

"Videl, I'm not trying think about that and my mind is not really on my mom but I can't help but to feel hurt of how my mom has acted."

"Hey, why don't you lay down and take a nap. I don't mind it will take away some of that stress and it's only but eleven thirty in the morning." "If it will make you stop worrying I will....... maybe it will relax me." Said gohan.

Videl shut the television off and pulled out the couch bed and gave gohan a pillow and blanket and said she'll come back in an hour. Gohan laid there in the bed just listening to the silence and then in fifteen minutes he was sleep. Videl couldn't help but be concerned about him. She noticed one thing about gohans mother. She can really get on your nerves at times.

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

Up on kame's look out piccolo and dende were talking and goku instant transmission right in front of them. "Hey goku!" said dende. "What brings you up here?" said piccolo. "I'm looking for gohan and I was wondering if he's up here or have you seen him?"

"No, I haven't seen gohan last time we talked was before he got sick and it wasn't a good conversation." Said piccolo. "Is he in any trouble?" said dende.

"No. But what happen was he and chichi had an argument and from the way I heard chichi explain he got upset and got sick he said he was ok but she's worried." "Let me see if I can pick up his energy." Said piccolo.

"I've already tried and I can't sense it."

"Let me see if I can pick it up." Piccolo did the same and sense it a little. "I can sense his energy a little but I'm not really clear on too much of where's he's at in the city it's so cloudy and my concentration is really not that good today for some strange reason. But it seems like he is with a friend but she's no threat, he's fine."

"Wow thanks a lot piccolo at least I know he's ok." "He probably wanted to talk with someone." Said dende. "I believe your right." Said goku. That was a relief to know and now, he could tell chichi so she won't be worried. "Thanks guys I'll see you later! Using his I.T. style goku went back home and told chichi.

Sighs. "That's a relief to know so why don't you go get him?" "Chichi maybe we should leave him alone you just had a big fight with him." "I just want to know if he's ok!"

"Chichi stop worrying if theirs anything wrong I'm pretty sure his friends would tell us and we seen his friends so why don't you relax and think of apologizing to gohan before he gets home."

"Do I need to be reminded?!"

"Chichi I'm not being mean or trying to throw it up in your face but you really hurt our son and it's not going to be easy to win his affection especially after throwing a plate at him."

"Thanks a lot goku I really feel good."

"Chichi I think you need to stop being selfish and stop for a moment and think about gohan and the way you acted it's not easy to win your affection since I've been gone for four years cause you said it yourself don't expect me to fall into your arms after I've been gone for four years those were your words."

Chichi knew that goku was right she couldn't argue with that. Sighs. "Your right goku I did say it and it's not going to be that easy." "Well I'm going to go back to master roshi's house so when gohan comes home you can talk with him. I'll see you later." Said goku leaving out the door.

Chichi put her face in her hands breathing a sigh wishing this was a nightmare and she could wake up and her son would be in his room with his cheerful smile sometimes she wondered if she's destroying her relationship with her son?

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

(Dreaming)"IS THIS SOME JOKE TO YOU?! I HATE YOU! Then the sound of a dish crashed. "GOHAN WHAT'S WRONG?!"

Gohan was turning in his bed talking in his sleep. "No, mom please!" Videl heard voices and happen to walk in the room and saw gohan having a nightmare she walked towards the bed and tap him cause she knew shaking wouldn't be a good idea and it would scare him. "Gohan, gohan!"

Gohan awakened out of his nightmare. Sighs. "Videl."

"Are you ok?"

Breathing a sigh. "Yeah I think so."

Videl looked at him "You must have had a nightmare." "I did have a nightmare about me and my mother having an argument." "That must really bother you a lot?" asked videl.

"It hurts cause I thought my mom was getting back with my father like she said and from what I saw yesterday it seem like to me it wasn't going to happen. You know, I better be going so I can get back home and probably fight some more with my mom."

"I really hope that's not going to happen."

"I really believe my mom is probably worried cause I left the house and didn't tell her and it's sort of mid afternoon and I really don't want my dad looking for me. "

"If, he finds you." Said videl.

"Believe me my dad will find me trust me on this one he's good at." said gohan getting out of bed and closing it. Videl was looking at gohan folding her blanket and placing it on the couch and sat down. "Are you going to grab a bite to eat before you leave?" asked videl. "I'm sorry I'll pass I'm not really hungry." Said gohan. "Ahh!" Oh man why do I feel this pain thought gohan I think it was from getting upset with my mom.

"Gohan what's wrong?!" said videl. Gohan was bent over a little and videl came and sat next to him on the couch.

Sitting up. "It's nothing. It's just.......... a sharp pain I get sometimes." Gohan didn't want to scare videl.

"Nothing, that didn't look like nothing the way you bent over." "Listen videl it's not nothing to worry about." Gohan started to feel another sharp pain in his stomach and he bent over closing his eyes this time cause it really hurt this time and videl started to get worried.

"Gohan that look on your face doesn't say your ok look I'll go get some pain medicine in the bathroom." He grabbed her wrist.

"Huh." Said videl looking at him.

"Please, it's ok I........ think I'm just stressed." Gohan sat up slowly.

"Look if you don't want to take anything that's ok but maybe you should eat something ever since I seen you today you haven't eaten anything but I guess breakfast." Said videl worried.

"I really didn't eat breakfast cause I got into it with my mom I was going to eat but I just went to my room." "Well maybe your stomach is telling you that you need to eat it's almost three in the afternoon! Your not suppose to go all day without eating!" Said videl concerned.

"Ok videl maybe I'll just have sandwich if it will make you feel better." Said gohan rolling his eyes. "Well I hope this makes you feel better." Said videl.

Videl went and made gohan a nice big ham sandwich and brought it too him with a nice tall glass of orange juice. Gohan saw the sandwich and started laughing cause it was five inches long and five inches high. "Videl don't you think that's a little too much for me I think if I eat all of this I will get a stomachache."

"Oh quit complaining and eat I've seen your appetite and if you do get a stomach ache it will be from eating then not having nothing which is worse!" Gohan was smiling at videl for being concerned she couldn't help it cause she didn't want to see him sick.

Gohan ate half of it and a little bit of the other half then he thanked videl and left and told her that he will be ok going home since he ate. Gohan arrived at home and decided he was going to walk through the front door instead of sneaking through his bedroom window so he could face his mom and talk with her cause going in his room wasn't going to change anything.

He arrived at his front door and he felt that same pain in his stomach and gohan bent over holding his stomach. "I don't think...... eating that sandwich was a good idea."

Gohan leaned up against the wall thinking. Am I'm nervous or what? I don't feel nervous I know I was going to have to face my mom anyway.

Gohan went ahead and opened the front door and closed it behind him and chichi was sitting on the couch looking at a magazine and she turned and saw gohan she couldn't help but get up and grab and hug him tight with tears flying from both her eyes. "Son I'm so sorry for throwing that plate at you would you, please forgive me I didn't mean to upset you."

Chichi didn't realize she was squeezing him real tight.

Gohan didn't mind his mom hugging him she was just squeezing him to tight. "Mom? Mom?"

She looked at him. "Yes son."

"Your squeezing me too hard."

Chichi eased up smiling. "I'm sorry."

Gohan felt bad also. "I'm sorry too cause I yelled at you and I shouldn't have left." Said gohan. "I understand son that you were angry and I couldn't blame you." Chichi looked at him. "Are you ok cause this morning you got sick?" Gohan didn't want to worry his mom but he didn't want to lie either. "My stomach hurts but, I think because I ate too much."

"Gohan? That is the most craziest answer you can give me you saiyans always eat too much and barely get full." "Mom I didn't eat breakfast this morning and when I ate at videls house she fixed me this sandwich that was five inches high and five inches long." "Ha ha, ha ha! She knows what she's doing and gohan you never get sick after you eat and you probably felt like that cause you got upset this morning unless........ she put something in your food."

"Mom, videl isn't like that!" "I'm sorry gohan I'm jumping to conclusions." Gohan was holding his stomach. "Mom, I think I'm going to lay down I don't feel so good." Chichi wish she wouldn't have said that about videl cause that upset gohan and she already upset him this morning. "Sorry about saying that." Said chichi.

"It's ok mom I understand you have your suspensions about who I hang out with." Chichi walked gohan to his room and he sat on the bed changing his shirt to a t-shirt while chichi went to get his pain medicine that the doctor prescribed for him. This was his first time really taking any in three months.

She came out the bathroom and gohan was sitting on his bed bent over and she started to get worried. Chichi came and stood in front of gohan worried. "Gohan honey, does it hurt that much?"

Gohan lifted his head opening his eyes. "Yeah it......does."

"I want you lay down cause your not going to feel any better sitting like that. But first I want you to sit up so you can take your medicine."

My poor son the last time he was like this was when he was in the hospital thought chichi. Gohan took his medicine and chichi help him into bed and she had him lay his head on her lap so she could comfort her son.

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

There was a knock on mace's front door and zedrick had his hand on his gun and answered it. "Yeah can I help you?"

"Yeah can I speak with mace?"

"I don't know who the hell you are coming here asking for mace unless you have an appointment. So you better get the stepping before you get hurt!" Zedrick was going to close the door.

Mace was watching from his surveillance cameras from his office and told zedrick on his ear microphone to let him come in. "Never mind come in." said zedrick. As they were both walking down the hall mace was telling zedrick in the microphone that we could use this person probably.

They walked in his office and two men searched him for weapons. Mace told the two guys to leave and for zedrick to stay.

"Ok, who are you?" asked mace.

Smirking. "I'm goku."
