A Lost Friend
Chapter 2
Sorry for the delay. I totally forgot about this story. I do not own these characters and hopefully you guys will see the rest of this story unfold. A lot has happened to me over the last few years and I haven' t had a chance to write this story. Hopefully it will keep its original form. Hope you enjoy. – WarriorAsag82
Vegeta landed the aircraft onto the property of Goku's house. Or used to be Goku's house for Goku was now dead. It was obvious to him the problem with this situation. People just couldn't forget about a man who was a push over and not a good show of a warrior like himself. Cell really killed Kakkorot and it was all Gohan's fault. He remembered gathering the balls. He remembered asking for him back to life. He remembered all of the wishes. He remembered him refusing the come back. Then again, things have quieted down since his death. He gathered his summary of why he couldn't come back was a good excuse. He was off dead and here Vegeta was training to meet the same level Goku had obtained. How did the idiot do it? He was a plain idiot. He didn't know. He was a powerful warrior, he'd never tell anyone that. But now that he has been dead a while, Vegeta was sure he had surpassed him with flying colors.
"I hope everything is all right. It wasn't like Chi-Chi to cry like that." Bulma stated from the seat next to him. Trunks sat in the back in the child seat lock for he loved moving around in the vehicle. Gohan was outside waving away. His hair wasn't in a ponytail anymore, and he was on a bench with books. Books? Vegeta couldn't believe it. This strongest warrior, stronger then his father, was reading a book!
"Gohan, you're studying." Bulma stated.
"Mom wants me to be a scholar now. No more fighting." Vegeta would have to talk to Chi-Chi about this no fighting thing. Gohan looked upset and sad. He wasn't perky as he used to be. He was definitely a different kid. He used to be up beat and in argument with his mother over training which his father, Kakkorot, took charge. Vegeta remembered running into this squirt on that Namik planet. He remembered it well. He saved Vegeta's life more then once. He didn't understand this kid nor his reason for saving his life that day. He needed to put character into this boy.
"Where is Goten?" Trunks is a bit old. He is now in Bulma's arms.
"He is sleeping. Hey Vegeta." Vegeta grumbled a hello.
"Is the crew coming?" Gohan nodded.
"Krillin is coming. So is Piccolo, and Tien. They should be here shortly. I invited the rest of the crew. I figured since Goten is turning one, the crew should be here as support." Vegeta just stood his crossed arms listening to this boy speak. It was obvious that things have changed dramatically. He put his books down.
"I'll go get Chi-Chi." He flew up from his seat to the door. Then went inside. Bulma turned to Vegeta.
"Now when you offered to come, I didn't mean for you to be a stick in the mud. Come on cheer up." Vegeta remembered Bulma crying the day before over Kakkorot death. It was an emotional moment for him and he had agreed to come. But now things were different, he could be training right now but no he was stuck at this birthday party. He found out it was a birthday party this morning and wasn't too pleased to know that he would be in company of the same people he has tried to kill on some occasion or another.
Chi-Chi came out of the house with Goten on her hip. He held a bottle to his mouth. He looked like Kakkorot with his hairstyle. How weird? His hair was exactly the same. He felt to be strong too just like Gohan, but he knew something that Chi-Chi knew. His son would be one of the most powerful Sayian warriors ever. He knew this. He was his son and prince of all the Sayian warriors. She looked ragged and exhausted. She looked at Vegeta and was surprised to see him. He could tell. She looked saddened by seeing him as if he was a reminder of Kakkorot.
"Chi-Chi!" Bulma handed off Trunks to him and hugged Chi-Chi. They exchanged hugs. Gohan took Goten, as Vegeta noticed Goten and Trunks look at each other. This was an exchange between future warriors and perhaps friends.
"Trunks has grown, and hello Vegeta." Chi-Chi stated.
"Chi-Chi, so this is Goten? He looks like Kakkorot. I see why you have problems." He said dryly. Bulma kicked him in the ankle.
"Woman what was that for?" But he could see what it was for. Chi-Chi looked off for a moment before answering himself.
"I don't have any problems with Goten. He just looks exactly like his father." She said the last part softly.
"Too bad he couldn't have known him."
"He needs training." Vegeta stated.
"No way. He will be a scholar like Gohan. That is their way. They can't make money being a warrior. All that does is get them killed and I won't watch another one of my family members get killed." Chi-Chi stated to him in a blunt manner. She was always blunt. A very blunt woman Goku picked out. Kakkorot definitely picked out a feisty woman that was for certain.
"Please come inside, perhaps our kids could play. We have toys and such." Vegeta frowned. He didn't want his kid playing with Kakkorot's son. That would mean they would become friends and he wouldn't allow that at all. He wanted them to be rivals. He wanted them to fight. He wanted them to be like enemies, not like friends but for right now he would go with the flow. He would put his input into this situation after they leave.
"Thanks." Bulma took Trunks from him again and they walked to go inside. Vegeta never really was on their property before this day. It was quiet and relaxing. There were a lot of trees and mountains. No real training facilities but there was room for on site training without the use of a training room that he used on a daily basis. He could be training right now, he thought to himself. He needed to be here for support though. He wondered how long he would be here.
"Have you been training at all?" Vegeta asked Gohan as they made their way to the house.
"I have been doing some without my mom knowing. If she found out, I'd be dead. I'm not suppose to train at all, but I want to stay fit." Vegeta felt disgusted.
"You're a disgrace. You need to train. You're slacking off." Gohan shook his head.
"I must train and do my studies. School is important to my mom and she is all I have now." Vegeta frowned. So now his mother was all-important?
"What happens if your father decides he wants to come back and you are out of shape? Then what? Will you be a disappointment to him?" Gohan looked at Vegeta.
"I don't expect for you to understand what it feels like to loose someone you love." Vegeta looked at him.
"I did have parents myself and lost mine when I was a child. I do know what its like. So don't use the sympathy card all that gets is pity and as a Sayian Warrior you don't want that." Gohan frowned.
"Look Piccolo is here!" Gohan pointed.
