Ease My Pain Chapter 44
"Uh… hi Gohan, what's up?" Videl smiled.
"I don't know you tell me." Gohan was looking at everyone. "I was wondering where every one was and what is it you need to tell me?" Asked Gohan.
"Uh… if you wanted to go on one of Bray's crazy adventure's again." smiled Erasa and grabbing his arm.
"I don't think I can."
"I think maybe it be a good idea that we stay here Erasa, it might be better." Said Bray giving her a look.
"I agree with Bray cause I can't stay that long." Said Gohan.
"Well let's go play a game or something before we bore ourselves to death!" Said Videl grabbing Gohan and Erasa.
Brandon looked at Bray. "Don't ask me why they grabbed him." Said Bray walking away.
Brandon walked with Bray and they both manage to separate in the crowd of people. Gohan stepped out of the room were Videl and Erasa were, to get some juice and he ran into Zedrick.
"I'm surprised to see you here." Said Zedrick smirking.
"Why, did you THINK I was too SICK TO COME!?"
"No, but the person that help make you sick is here!"
"You're LIEING!"
Everyone started looking at them cause Gohan raised his voice.
"Look I don't want to start anything here so stay out of my way!"
Gohan walked away angry and Zedrick smirked at him when he left. Gohan came back in the room and played video games with Videl and Erasa. A few hours later everyone left and went home. Videl and Erasa got in the copter and left. As they were taking off, Erasa notice Gohan leaving.
"Hey, Videl why don't we give Gohan a ride?"
"I already asked him and he said no."
"We usually give him a ride and he didn't have any problem going with us before."
"Yeah, but he was acting weird tonight when he came back in the room, like if he was angry."
"Well maybe he's not feeling well." Said Erasa.
"I don't think that's the case. It seems like someone made him angry." Said Videl
When Gohan got home he was calmer and then, his mom saw him before he went in his room.
"Hey son you have a good study?"
"Yeah I did it was fun." Smirked Gohan.
Goten passed by him and still didn't speak to him. Gohan ignored him and went in his room. Closing the door.
It was another beautiful day and Chichi was up at six making breakfast. The kitchen table was full of delicious breakfast food.
"Hey honey that looks yummy!" Smiled Goku as he sat down.
Goten came out of his room scratching his messy hair. "Mmm…. that looks good!"
"Hey where's Gohan?" Asked Chichi as she sat down.
"Most likely he's sleeping in." Said Goku.
"I hope he's feeling well." Said Chichi worried.
"Oh, I'm pretty sure he's fine." Said Goku.
"Well he's should be out here." Said Chichi.
"Just let him sleep I'm pretty sure he's had a busy week with the studying." Said Goku.
As they were all eating there was a big explosion sound that knocked everyone out of their chair.
"Ahh! What was that!?" Yelled Chichi falling on the floor.
"It sounded like something blew up." Said Goten getting off the floor.
"That sounds like Gohan!" said Goku sensing his power.
"Gohan?! He better not be doing any science experiments out there!" Yelled Chichi.
"It sounds like he's fighting!" Said Goku.
"Fighting!? With who!?" Yelled Chichi.
"Maybe it's with Mr. Piccolo." Said Goten.
"He wouldn't be fighting with Piccolo, he's training." Said Goku.
"Well, I don't care what he's doing! He's going to break all my dishes!" Yelled Chichi.
Goku got up and went out the door. He went out into the woods and close to the mountains. He saw Gohan sitting down on a rock catching his breath. Gohans clothes were torn like he was fighting.
"Hey Gohan!" Goku came flying over to him.
"Why are you doing intense training?" Goku looked at his son breathing heavy.
"Cause…. I need it."
"Well your going to make yourself sick. Your training too hard, you need to stop and pick it up again later!"
"Come on dad isn't this what you wanted me to do every weekend when I went to see you at Master Roshi's house!"
"That's before you became sick!"
"I don't want any sickness to slow me down!"
Gohan got up and disappeared. Goku jerked and looked around. "Where… did he go?!" Goku stood still and focused. Then he disappeared.
Gohan was up on a cliff blasting rocks. Goku appeared and Gohans blast almost hit him. "Yow! You almost got me!" Yelled Goku.
"Dad, what are you doing?! I'm training alone!"
"Gohan stop this right now!"
"Or What, I'm going to get grounded!"
"Listen to me your being foolish! Your going to get yourself seriously hurt out here!"
"Dad I'm a saiyan just like, YOU!"
Gohan powered up to super saiyan and was going to leave and train some more but Goku stopped him. Goku jumped right in front of him when he was about to leave. "You stop this right now! Why are you doing this?"
"I'm doing this cause I want to get rid of Mace once and for all!"
"Well training like a mad person isn't going to help you in your training!"
"Dad I'm tired of waiting around!"
"Gohan come home and have some breakfast and then we can train and go settle this thing with Mace once and for all."
"I'm so angry right now I don't want to eat!"
"Gohan, you're not thinking straight! It's not going to do you any good, training if you're so focused on how mad you are with Mace!"
Gohan sat down on the grass and breathe a sigh and Goku sat next to him.
"I understand that you're angry."
"No you DON'T!" Snapped Gohan.
"I'm trying to understand, Gohan!"
"If you were here you would some idea of what happen!"
"Are we going to start this again!?"
"If you were here to protect me this wouldn't have happen!"
"I may not have been here for you, Gohan but when you make lousy decisions like you did you can't blame me!"
"I can blame you!"
"Why?"
"Cause I needed to your ADVICE!"
"Gohan, arguing is not going to get us nowhere!"
Gohan changed back to himself and got up and flew back to the house without his dad. Goku flew back also but he wasn't going to catch up with Gohan cause he knew he was mad at him. Gohan walked in the house and Chichi asked him about eating breakfast and he went to his room and slammed the door.
Chichi stood up. "How dare he walk in here and not say nothing and slam the door!" Chichi was going to go knock on his door and Goku came in and stopped her.
"Don't bother him Chichi he needs to cool off for a while."
"Cool off! He walked in here and slammed the door and didn't say anything!"
"That's cause he's upset about wanting to fight Mace and he started saying I should have been there to stop him, from getting involved with Mace and we just had an argument"
"How is he going to fight Mace? He's in no condition to do any fighting!" Yelled Chichi.
"He could fight." Said Goku.
"What do you mean!? You can't send my baby out there to fight that crazy psychopath! Look what he did to him!?"
"Chichi I know that, but you have to remember our son isn't all human."
"Yeah, but he can bleed!"
"Chichi if we train we can put this guy away and keep him from selling anymore drugs to anyone else."
"Well my son can train but that doesn't mean I'm going to let him go up against that crazy man!" Goku rolled his eyes. "Chichi don't worry it will be ok."
It was back to Orange Star High again, Monday morning. Drew and Sharpner were standing in the hallway staring at all the girls that passed by.
"I wonder why it's so hard to get a date around here.?" Moaned Drew. "Probably cause they don't know us." Said Sharpner.
Videl and Erasa passed by and Drew got in front of them.
"Hey gorgeous babes, what's up?!"
"Would you please Drew get out of the way before were late for class!" Said Videl.
"Hey I just want to say hi and check out the merchandise." Said Drew staring up and down at Videl. Sharpner started laughing.
"Well the merchandise isn't for YOU!"
"So where's that geek Gohan?"
"He is not a GEEK!" Yelled Videl.
"Yeah, who are you calling a geek!?" Said Erasa.
"Gohan that's who! He's always got his nose in the books!" Said Sharpner.
"That's what's so good about him he's always studying like you guys don't know the meaning." Said Videl.
"Hey I'm smart I just have a bad time getting a date." Smirked Drew.
"Well I would too if I keep acting like a JERK all the time!" Said Videl.
"Hey, I'm not a jerk!"
"Look we don't have time to argue!" Said Videl.
Erasa and Videl got away from Sharpner and Drew and went to class. They walked in class and sat next to Gohan. Sharpner and Drew saw it as they walked in and became mad and jealous.
"I liked it better when he was gone for a month and half!" Said Drew.
"Yeah but I heard he was really sick." Said Sharpner.
"I hope he get's sick again, maybe I could get alone with those girls."
"You might as well give it up Drew that is not going to make them like you." Said Sharpner.
"Hi Gohan, how was your weekend?" Smiled Videl.
"It was was fine."
"What happen Friday I thought you were coming with me and Videl?" Said Erasa.
"I just wanted to be alone."
"Alone? Are you ok?" Asked Videl.
"Yeah I'm fine. What's wrong with being alone?"
"Well Friday it seem like you were mad when you came back in the room." Said Videl.
"I just ran into one of Mace's guy's and he just said some stupid stuff about someone was in the room that helped poison me."
Videl and Erasa looked at each other and swallowed.
Erasa grinned. "Why would he say something like that?"
Sighs. "I don't know he's just lieing cause they don't want to accept the blame."
The teacher came in the room and told everyone to open their books so they could start the lesson.
At Capsule Corp. Goku was talking with Bulma in her lab.
"So your telling me that bullet that Mace shot me with is supposed to kill a saiyan!"
"Yeah, believe me Goku your blood has some sort of allergic reaction to it and if you don't remove it in time it will kill you!"
"I wonder how he had a bullet made like that?"
"Well remember Gohan worked with him and also he's a drug lord."
"Well next time I'll be more careful."
"I believe that's a good idea cause you just might not make it to kame's lookout next time."
"Don't say that Bulma that's creepy." Said Goku.
Vegita walks in to Bulmas lab. "Hey Kakkarot, when are you going to fight this JERK!"
"That's a good question, cause I don't know."
"That is the most absurd answer I've heard!" Yelled Vegita.
"Well my son and I are in training to fight this guy so maybe this weekend would be a good idea since Gohans school is having a break for a week."
"If that was my son I would have taken care of him as soon as I found out!"
"I didn't want to just jump on the guy until I found out what was going on." "Your too soft Kakkarot!"
"Look that doesn't matter now the important thing is that Goku takes care of this jerk!" Said Bulma.
"I agree." Said Goku smiling.
Back at School Gohan was walking down the front stairs and Zedrick walked up to him. "So don't you want to know he put a hit out on you?" Smirked Zedrick.
"You know I'm going to take my FIST…..
Zedrick interrupted him. "I hope you know theirs security right across the grass so if you want to fight now and get suspended it's up to you!"
Gohan breathe a sigh. "Look I don't have time for your lie's!"
"I'm not lieing!"
"Then stop beating around the bush and tell me!"
"Well it's your good friend Bray."
Gohan felt like everything in his body wanted to crumble he felt knots in his stomach and his heart sinked to his feet.
Zedrick smirked. "I told you it was someone close."
Gohan punched Zedrick in the face that almost shifted his teeth. "Is this the thanks I get for telling you?"
"That's for waiting too LONG to tell me!"
"I hope Mace takes you and your father down!" Said Zedrick getting up holding his jaw with blood coming out of his mouth.
"Well you can tell Mace I will be looking forward to fighting him, matter of fact let's make it this weekend! The desert outside of South City!"
"I yeah I can't wait to see him take you down!"
"Only one going down is you and Mace and if you value your life you should stay away!" Said Gohan sternly.
Zedrick got up and walked away cause the security guard was coming and Gohan went back in the school to find Bray cause he knew they were still in the school. Gohan was mad and had to find out was it really true did Bray do this to him! Did Bray really poison him and how…. How could he! Thought Gohan.
That's a cliffhanger until the next chapter. Thanks to all that review.
