Ease My Pain Chapter 43
Gohan came over to Goten to help him up and Goten punched Gohan in the face and Gohan staggered almost falling. "Goten, I was trying to help you!"
"You're not trying to help me your trying to hurt me again!" yelled Goten.
Goten started fighting Gohan again without giving him a chance and Gohan blocked his punches. Goten punched Gohan in the ribs and he fell to the ground. Then he got on his knees and looked at his brother. "Come on little bro you don't have to take this fight seriously." "I'm not taking it seriously." Said Goten staring at his brother.
"Ok then let's go!" Said Gohan getting up to get in his fighting stance. Goten got mad and launched at Gohan and started punching him. Goku came on the ground and looked at both his sons fighting. "These two have been at it for forty five minutes."
Goten and Gohan were punching each other and it started to become fun to Goten. Then Gohan started to get tired and threw up his hands. "Hey, time out Goten!"
Goten looked at his brother. "You're kidding you're not tired." Goten launched at him and Gohan blocked his punches and punched Goten in the stomach really hard. Goten fell to his knees and bent over and yelled in pain. Goku came flying over to what was going on. "Hey what happen you two?"
"I told Goten time out and he thought I was kidding and he started hitting me and I punched him, I didn't mean to do it." "Goten are you ok?" asked Goku. "Gohan is being mean... and he punched me... in the stomach on purpose!"
"I didn't do that on purpose!" yelled Gohan.
"Come on Goten you'll be ok. Gohan didn't mean to do it, you guys were just training." said Goku. Goku helped Goten stand up. "Oww!" Goten was holding his stomach as Goku scooped him up in his arms.
"It's going to be ok Goten." Said Goku comforting Goten.
Gohan felt bad. "I'm sorry Goten I didn't mean it."
"Shut up and leave me alone!"
"Goten, it's ok Gohan didn't mean It." said Goku assuring him. "Yes he does mean it cause if he didn't he wouldn't have punched me!" "Ok guys I think it's time we go back home it's been over an hour now and you two are tired."
They went back home and Goten went to his room and Goku went to see if he was ok." Chichi came out of the laundry room and saw Gohan. "Hey here's you're clothes."
"Thanks mom." Said Gohan looking sweaty.
"Are you ok?" said Chichi wiping the sweat off his cheek. "Yeah, I'm just tired." Gohan felt really bad about Goten and went in his room and closed the door and Goku came out of Gotens room.
"You guys must of trained really hard. I could see the sweat on Gohans face." said Chichi.
"Yeah we really did some hard work." Said Goku.
"Where's my little Goten?"
Goku wished she wouldn't have asked that. "He's in his room lying down he's tired."
"Oh he must be worn out."
"Well yeah he is."
"Well I'll just kiss him goodnight." Said Chichi.
"Well Chichi before you go in the room Goten is in a little pain cause he came at Gohan and Gohan hit him really hard."
"What! Is he ok!"
"Calm down Chichi! He'll be fine I was just in the room with him."
"Why did Gohan hit him?"
"Gohan told him time out and Goten didn't take him seriously and he started punching him and Gohan punched him in the stomach really hard."
"I told you Goku, to very careful out there! Gohan, should be more careful with his younger brother he could hurt him really bad! Let me check on my poor son!" said Chichi leaving to go in Gotens room. Goku went and followed her.
Videl was leaving out the locker room. She just got done training with the police officers. "Hey Videl did you ever find out any information on you're friend?" asked the officer as Videl walked by the office.
Videl stopped and walked in his office. She forgot to ask Gohan again. "Actually he really wasn't able to answer any questions cause he had just came home from the hospital but I'll ask him tomorrow." Said Videl.
"Well good, cause we really need to find out what went on."
Videl nodded and she left out the room. I hope Gohan is up to answering some questions later. He can be so private at times like he doesn't want anyone to know him, thought Videl.
Bray called Brandon on the phone cause he told him to give him a call later. "Hey Brandon, what's up?" said Bray. "Hi Bray, what are you up to?" "Nothing much but I wanted to tell you that my parents are having another party."
"Oh kool! When is it?"
"It's a week from this Friday. I hope you can come."
"Yeah it shouldn't be a problem as long as I don't keep this headache."
"You're head still hurts?"
"Yeah I got stitches in four different places on my head and I believe it's five stitches a piece. I can barely concentrate on my homework." "Well I'm pretty sure it will be ok before next week." Said Bray.
"Yeah it should be. Well I have to finish my homework before it gets late I'll talk later." "Yeah sure, bye!" said Bray.
Gohan was in his room doing his homework thinking about what Zedrick said. How could my dad get shot he looks perfectly normal. I'll take out Mace and Zedrick if it's the last thing I have to do! This has to end! Thought Gohan.
Chichi walked in the room with a mean look on her face. "Gohan!"
Gohan turned around in his chair. "Huh! Yeah, mom."
"What have I told you about being careful with your brother!?" yelled Chichi. "Mom I haven't done anything that bad to Goten." "What do you mean you haven't done anything that bad?! Goten has bruise on his stomach cause of your carelessness!"
"Mom, Goten will be fine he's not going to die!"
"How dare you take this like it's nothing!?"
"Mom, I apologized to Goten and he said I tried to hurt him on purpose."
"I don't know what to do with you two! Every week you two are fighting about something!"
Goku walks in the room. "Chichi I told you it's not Gohan's fault!"
"Goku, these two have always been at it and I've told Gohan to be careful with his little brother!" "He was careful Chichi you know the boys can be rough at times."
Gohan raised his voice at his mom. "Mom, I'm sorry... I had a rough day I didn't mean to hit Goten!"
Chichi thought he was sick again and touched his head. "Gohan are you feeling ok!?"
"Mom I'm feeling fine."
"Are you taking your medicine?" "Yes, mom." "Chichi let's go and leave Gohan to do his homework before we really upset him." Chichi and Goku left the room. Gohan was upset. "Ughh! Goten, why do you have to rub things in!?"
The next day at school Gohan was in his first class reading when Videl walked in and sat next to Gohan. "Hey Gohan, you're here early." "Yeah I thought I head out early." "I need to ask you some questions about what were talking about before."
"Oh you mean about who shot at us? Well it was some crazy hit man of Mace's. He was mad with my dad cause my dad confronted Mace and he wanted to shoot him but it didn't happen cause me and my dad got away."
"Gohan you guys could have been shot! Why didn't you tell the police about what this jerk is doing?!"
"Calm down Videl my dad can handle it."
"How? Is he bullet proof?!"
"No."
"Then let the police get involved and not your dad take it on himself to do police work!"
"Ok Videl that should be no problem."
Gohan knew his dad could take them out, but he rather not say nothing or Videl will be asking more questions.
The teacher walked in class with Erasa and Brandon running in almost late with the bell ringing. "You two almost didn't make it." said Videl. "Yeah I know I got up late today." said Erasa. "I didn't feel like coming." Said Brandon.
"You don't usually stay home." Said Gohan looking at Brandon.
"No, I don't but I didn't feel like coming today cause these stitches in my head are giving me a headache." "Don't you have some pain killers for that?" asked Erasa.
"Yeah my mom gave me some this morning during breakfast so hopefully it should start working soon." "Oh you poor thing do I need to kiss you and make it all feel better." Videl was being sarcastic.
"Very funny Videl." Said Brandon.
"Ok class let's settle down and turn to page ninety for our reading this morning." Said the teacher.
Mace walked in the back of his house and closed the door he sat in his chair and got his remote and two wooden doors opened up showing a huge screen. Then out of his desk slid a keyboard with a telephone on the side. It was a videophone. He dialed the number and waited. A woman picked up the phone. "Hello."
"Hey could you turn on your screen?"
She turned it on.
"Mace, I hope you are not in any trouble! Oh, I forgot that's your middle name!"
"Mom would you give me a BREAK I just called cause I need to ask you some questions about my past. I need to know something." Sighs. "What is it you want to know?" "Where did I get my hidden power you never wanted to tell me about?!" said Mace seriously. His mom looked at him and wished he wouldn't have asked that question.
Later after school Gohan happen to see Bray and walked over to him. "Hey guy! What's up, and where have you been? I haven't seen you in a long while it's like, you disappeared."
Bray was startled when Gohan approached him. He wanted to leave cause he felt really bad about what he did to Gohan. "I've been hanging around doing my usual thing." Said Bray.
"Hey Bray can't wait to come to your party next week Friday." Said one of the girls passing by and Bray smiled.
"You're having a party and didn't tell ME!" said Gohan smiling.
"I didn't get a chance to but I was going to." said Bray scratching his head.
"I don't even know why I'm talking about a party I'm not really allowed to go to party's since I was poisoned."
Bray swallowed hard just by Gohan mentioning that. "Well Gohan I have to run I got a lot of homework and studying to do I better get going." Said Bray exiting quickly and saying goodbye.
Gohan went around the corner and flew away. When he got home Gohan was walking to his room and Goten passed right by him. "Hey Goten!"
Goten ignored him.
"Hey bro is their something wrong?"
Goten starred at him mean and walked away.
"O-k I think he's still mad about yesterday. Gohan went to his room and closed the door. He put his books down and started doing his homework and his mom knocked on the door and came in.
"Hey son how was school?" Asked Chichi.
"It was fine. Mom, when I get finished can I train?"
"Train, what about dinner?"
"I'll eat, then I'll train."
"Gohan you should be careful you just came home three days ago." "Mom, I feel fine I'm not weak anymore."
"Ok son but for one hour only."
"One hour, that's just warm up time."
"Listen it's a school night and I don't want you to over do it!"
"Can I do it for two hours."
"Look I don't want you sick again! You know how easy that can happen!" Yelled Chichi.
"Mom I'm not sick, I'm fine!"
Goku walked in. "Hey, what's all the commotion about?"
"Our son wants to train for two hours on a school night!"
"Well that sounds good."
"Goku, it's a school night not the weekend!"
"I know Chichi, as long as he does his homework and it's not ten at night it's ok with me."
"Oh well, if he gets sick I'll make sure you see about him."
"Don't worry Chichi, Gohan knows his limit." After dinner Gohan trained with Goku for a few hours.
It was a week later and Bray was having his party and like any other reason Gohan use the same line he used so he could hang out with his friends. Goten was still angry with his brother but Gohan decided to ignore him.
Brandon was downstairs and he just happen to see Gohan. "Hey, I thought you wasn't really going to come?"
"Well I did manage to make it." smiled Gohan.
"Well enjoy yourself I need to talk with bray." "Sure, cause I need to talk with Erasa and Videl."
Brandon came up to Bray. "Hey man, why are you sitting alone?"
"I was trying to avoid Gohan."
"Why are you trying to avoid him? Oh, never mind I said that."
"Brandon it's hard to sit around Gohan. I feel so guilty and I didn't even invite him."
"Bray, I told you that it's going to be hard to avoid him."
"Well I've been trying to succeed in doing that and lately it hasn't been working cause every time I run into him he asks me where have I've been?"
"Well sooner or later you're going to have to tell Gohan the truth!" said Brandon.
"Tell Gohan the truth about WHAT!?" said Videl walking up with Erasa.
"Nothing!" said Bray.
"I would like to know what's going on here?!" Demanded Videl.
"It's none of your business." Said Bray. "Well if it deals with our friend, it is my business!" "She's right Bray! What's going on?" said Erasa.
"Look I'm going to go outside!"
"Wait a minute Bray. Don't you think it's better if we tell the truth." Said Brandon.
"Brandon!"
"Tell the truth about what?" said Erasa. "That's what I like to know!" said Videl.
Sighs. "Well if you two want to know let's go outside in the front and talk cause theirs too many ears around.
They all went outside where there was no one around. "Well I might as well get to the point cause it's not easy what I'm going to tell you."
"Not easy?" said Erasa.
"Yes, it's not! I'm the one that poisoned Gohan."
Erasa and Videl were totally shocked. "What?!" said Erasa.
Videl slapped Bray. "How could you do that to him!"
"Ok girls would you wait for a moment before you want to kick his butt!" yelled Brandon stepping in front of Bray.
Bray rubbed his face. "I was forced into doing this by Mace!" "He forced you to poisoned Gohan!" said Erasa.
Videl got passed Brandon again and grabbed Bray by the collar. "I can't believe what I'm HEARING! How could you let that PUNK GET YOU TO POISONED GOHAN!"
"Do you realize the TRUAMA you put him through!" Yelled Erasa.
"Would you guy's LISTEN TO ME?!" Yelled Bray.
Videl let go of his collar. "Ok I'm listening." Said Videl folding her arms.
"Mace threaten me and said if I didn't do it he would kill my parents!"
"How could you let a situation like this go, without telling someone!" said Videl.
"Do you guys realize that Mace is a DANGEROUS MAN!?" Said Bray.
"Yeah Bray I understand, but what about Gohan? Wasn't their something you could do?" said Erasa.
"Do you realize the jail time you can do for poisoning him....that's attempted murder!" Yelled Videl.
"Don't you think I know that!" Yelled Bray.
"No wonder we haven't seen you around lately." Said Erasa.
"Guys let's discuss this later I don't want my mom looking for me." said Bray.
"Wait just a minute, what about Gohan?" said Videl.
"What about him?" Said Bray.
"Aren't you going to tell him the truth to clear your name out of this thing? This idiot blackmailed you into trying to kill Gohan and your just going to leave things alone like, nothing happen!"
"Videl, what is Bray suppose to do?" Said Brandon.
"Well I think we should get the police involved."
"How are we going to do that?!" Asked Bray.
"Tell the truth." Said Videl sharply.
"Videl, you work for the police! Do you realize they will arrest me not Mace!?"
"Yeah but we could get a search warrant and go to his house and find the evidence we need to nail him with."
"Mace is real good at covering his butt." Said Brandon.
"Well it can be unexpected can it." Said Videl.
"Look why don't we just forget this ever happen and it will just go away." Said Bray worried.
"Go-away?!" Yelled Erasa.
"This is not going to go away, Bray! You can either come forth with the truth or you can go to jail!" Said Videl.
"Guys let's go back in I need something to calm my nerves this is really getting to me." Said Bray.
"We need to tell Gohan." Said Videl.
"What! Are you CRAZY!" Yelled Bray.
"We can't hold this from him forever." Said Erasa.
Brandon started pacing and putting his hands through his hair.
"Guys, I think were upsetting Bray." Said Brandon.
"Listen, how do you think were suppose to handle this, by sitting around and letting Mace get away with what he did! I should of went to Maces house and had him arrested after I get done kicking his butt!" Said Videl.
Brandon sat down on the grass taking a deep breath.
"Are you ok, Bray?" Asked Brandon.
"No, I'm not I feel like I'm in some nightmare and no matter what door I choose theirs no way out."
"But there is!" Said Videl. Bray looked up at Videl like she was crazy.
"Ok, Miss Einstein since you have the answers why don't you tell us, how I'm going to get out of a mess that I never asked to get into!" said Bray.
"Well we need to get him to confess and get it on tape so the police can nail him!"
"Oh, that's real easy! 'Oh Mace how did you try and kill GOHAN AGAIN!' Videl are you NUTS!" Yelled Bray.
"Listen it doesn't sound easy but we need to find a way to clear you and get Mace for this crime."
"Videl, I don't know about this and plus were not on speaking terms right now cause I told him to leave me alone. So when you figure out a better way let me know." Said Bray.
"Ok then we need to talk with Gohan." Said Videl.
"Except that." said Bray.
"Then when are we going to tell Gohan?" Said Videl looking at Bray.
"Tell me what?" said Gohan walking up and looking confused.
Yeah, I know another cliffy. But I'll try to get out the next chapter sooner. Review please.
Ease My Pain Chapter 43
Gohan came over to Goten to help him up and Goten punched Gohan in the face and Gohan staggered almost falling. "Goten, I was trying to help you!"
"You're not trying to help me your trying to hurt me again!" yelled Goten.
Goten started fighting Gohan again without giving him a chance and Gohan blocked his punches. Goten punched Gohan in the ribs and he fell to the ground. Then he got on his knees and looked at his brother. "Come on little bro you don't have to take this fight seriously." "I'm not taking it seriously." Said Goten staring at his brother.

They went back home and Goten went to his room and Goku went to see if he was ok." Chichi came out of the laundry room and saw Gohan. "Hey here's you're clothes."

Mace walked in the back of his house and closed the door he sat in his chair and got his remote and two wooden doors opened up showing a huge screen. Then out of his desk slid a keyboard with a telephone on the side. It was a videophone. He dialed the number and waited. A woman picked up the phone. "Hello."
"Hey could you turn on your screen?"
She turned it on.
"Mace, I hope you are not in any trouble! Oh, I forgot that's your middle name!"
"Mom would you give me a BREAK I just called cause I need to ask you some questions about my past. I need to know something." Sighs. "What is it you want to know?"

They all went outside where there was no one around. "Well I might as well get to the point cause it's not easy what I'm going to tell you."
"Not easy?" said Erasa.
"Yes, it's not! I'm the one that poisoned Gohan."
Erasa and Videl were totally shocked. "What?!" said Erasa.
Videl slapped Bray. "How could you do that to him!"
"Ok girls would you wait for a moment before you want to kick his butt!" yelled Brandon stepping in front of Bray.
Bray rubbed his face. "I was forced into doing this by Mace!" "He forced you to poisoned Gohan!" said Erasa.
Videl got passed Brandon again and grabbed Bray by the collar. "I can't believe what I'm HEARING! How could you let that PUNK GET YOU TO POISONED GOHAN!"
"Do you realize the TRUAMA you put him through!" Yelled Erasa.
"Would you guy's LISTEN TO ME?!" Yelled Bray.
Videl let go of his collar. "Ok I'm listening." Said Videl folding her arms.
"Mace threaten me and said if I didn't do it he would kill my parents!"
"How could you let a situation like this go, without telling someone!" said Videl.
"Do you guys realize that Mace is a DANGEROUS MAN!?" Said Bray.
"Yeah Bray I understand, but what about Gohan? Wasn't their something you could do?" said Erasa.
"Do you realize the jail time you can do for poisoning him....that's attempted murder!" Yelled Videl.
"Don't you think I know that!" Yelled Bray.
"No wonder we haven't seen you around lately." Said Erasa.
"Guys let's discuss this later I don't want my mom looking for me." said Bray.
"Wait just a minute, what about Gohan?" said Videl.
"What about him?" Said Bray.
"Aren't you going to tell him the truth to clear your name out of this thing? This idiot blackmailed you into trying to kill Gohan and your just going to leave things alone like, nothing happen!"
"Videl, what is Bray suppose to do?" Said Brandon.
"Well I think we should get the police involved."
"How are we going to do that?!" Asked Bray.
"Tell the truth." Said Videl sharply.
"Videl, you work for the police! Do you realize they will arrest me not Mace!?"
"Yeah but we could get a search warrant and go to his house and find the evidence we need to nail him with."
"Mace is real good at covering his butt." Said Brandon.
"Well it can be unexpected can it." Said Videl.
"Look why don't we just forget this ever happen and it will just go away." Said Bray worried.
"Go-away?!" Yelled Erasa.
"This is not going to go away, Bray! You can either come forth with the truth or you can go to jail!" Said Videl.
"Guys let's go back in I need something to calm my nerves this is really getting to me." Said Bray.
"We need to tell Gohan." Said Videl.
"What! Are you CRAZY!" Yelled Bray.
"We can't hold this from him forever." Said Erasa.
Brandon started pacing and putting his hands through his hair.
"Guys, I think were upsetting Bray." Said Brandon.
"Listen, how do you think were suppose to handle this, by sitting around and letting Mace get away with what he did! I should of went to Maces house and had him arrested after I get done kicking his butt!" Said Videl.
Brandon sat down on the grass taking a deep breath.
"Are you ok, Bray?" Asked Brandon.
"No, I'm not I feel like I'm in some nightmare and no matter what door I choose theirs no way out."
"But there is!" Said Videl. Bray looked up at Videl like she was crazy.
"Ok, Miss Einstein since you have the answers why don't you tell us, how I'm going to get out of a mess that I never asked to get into!" said Bray.
"Well we need to get him to confess and get it on tape so the police can nail him!"
"Oh, that's real easy! 'Oh Mace how did you try and kill GOHAN AGAIN!' Videl are you NUTS!" Yelled Bray.
"Listen it doesn't sound easy but we need to find a way to clear you and get Mace for this crime."
"Videl, I don't know about this and plus were not on speaking terms right now cause I told him to leave me alone. So when you figure out a better way let me know." Said Bray.
"Ok then we need to talk with Gohan." Said Videl.
"Except that." said Bray.
"Then when are we going to tell Gohan?" Said Videl looking at Bray.
"Tell me what?" said Gohan walking up and looking confused.
Yeah, I know another cliffy. But I'll try to get out the next chapter sooner. Review please.
