Chapter 12 – A sigh of relief

When we got to Goku's house the air had a mournful feeling to it. I hoped with all my heart that Gohan was still alive. When I went in the house the only person I could find was Chi-Chi.

"Chi-chi, please tell me where Gohan is. I have to see him." I begged.

"Goku took him to the look out. Gohan was only getting worse here. Goku told me you would come here, he also told me to tell you to get to the look out right away. I think you better go." Chi-chi said trying her best not to cry.

"I will. I am so sorry that this has happened. I promise that if it within my power I will help Gohan." I said.

"Please hurry, you are Gohan's only hope." She said.

I was confused with what she had just said. I was Gohan's only hope? Why me? What have I done to deserve this? As Vegeta and I Flew to the look out, Vegeta had to keep yelling at me to make me pay attention to where I was going. I was that confused. When we landed at the look out Goku took me by the hand right away. He led me down a pure white hallway to a door that was trimmed in gold. We entered the room, the room was pure white draped in golden silks decorated and made for royalty. In the huge white and gold silk bed laid a limp body. One that looked like it was hanging on to life by a thread. When I looked closer I was astonished to see that the body was of Gohan, pale and almost as white as the pillow his head was laying on.

"Rika," I soft voice said from behind me. "Gohan needs your power. You are the Saiyan Princess the only one that can keep him from dieing."

"Why me?" the question had been eating away at me for a while now.

"Because you are the one. You are the Saiyan Princess that the legend Vegeta told me about. You have the special powers that no other could ever dream of." Goku said.

"But…" I started but no other words would come out.

"I'll explain later. You need to save Gohan now." Goku said.

"How?" I asked.

"Take his hand and concentrate some of you energy to your hand." He said.

"That's all?" I asked thinking there would be more to it than that.

"Ya easy, huh?" Goku said. "But don't use all your energy because you need to come train with me."

"Alright, but I'm only going to try to save Gohan." I said.

"That's all I'm asking." Goku said contently.

I walked up beside the bed and sat on the edge.

How could this be Gohan? Last time I saw him he just looked like he was knocked out, nothing more. Now look at him, he's white drenched in a cold sweat. I thought.

I softly took his hand afraid that I would hurt him. He was ice cold. I did as Goku told me only I concentrated my energy very slowly afraid that if I sent to much of my energy at one time his body might burst. I some how knew exactly when I had used enough of my energy. Gohan seemed to come back to life. Color had returned to him, he wasn't cold anymore. Gohan was Gohan again. He looked as strong as he usually did he didn't look like he could be killed just by touching him. I was sitting there in disbelief when Gohan opened his eyes. I held back the tears of joy, no Saiyan princess cried. I was so glade to see hi8m alive that I bent down and hugged him. In my surprise he hugged me back.

"Rika, you can kill her now. I believe you." Gohan said in a soft voice so that only I could hear him.

He was looking at me with loving eyes even caring eyes. Could it bee that Gohan has liked me all along.

"Rika, It's time." Goku said gently.

"Can I come Dad? Please." Gohan said weakly. "a year of healing will do some good for me."

"But Gohan." Goku said tenderly.

"Please Dad." Gohan said again.

"Alright but you rest until your healed." Goku said.

"Thanks." Gohan said.

"Gohan let me carry you." I said.

"Alright." Gohan said he really wasn't in a position to protest.

I helped Gohan up and supported his weight.

"Goku, where are we going?" I asked.

"The Hyperbolic time chamber." Goku said.

"The Hyperbolic… What?" I asked.

"You'll find out." Goku laughed at how confused I was.
