Don't own nothing!

Chapter 8 Gohan's Understanding

Gohan woke up in the medical wing of CC. He had wraps around his wrists and was strapped down to the bed. Just like every other time he tried to commit suicide. The straps were made of a special material that Bulma had created, they made it so he couldn't get free no matter how hard he tried. Sighing he looked around, waiting for Bulma to come in and yell at him. His eyes stopped scanning when he spotted something different, a lump in a chair. Odd, he thought, Bulma never stays. Gohan sat up as far as possible and looked closer. "Videl?" Suddenly he remembered hearing her scream his name in terror the day before right before he passed out into his comforting darkness. He found such peace in the darkness, like it was a second home.

She stirred when she heard her name. Sitting up, she looked around sleepily, then woke up when she saw him. "Gohan are you okay?"

"Yes."

"What were you thinking?"

"Nothing."

"Gohan, tell me what's wrong." she begged, grabbing his hand.

"No."

"Please." she squeezed harder.

"It is a long story." he said quietly.

"I have all day for you."

Looking down at his wrists again, Gohan sighed one more time. "My full name is First Class Elite Warrior Son Gohan, Crown Prince of Ox Kingdom." he started. The rest of the day Gohan told her everything about himself, his past, race, family, Z-Senshi and, lastly, Cell.

Hours had past, it was now ten at night. Videl had just left to talk to her father. She had been patient with him. Some parts of his tale were hard. When Gohan had told her about his mother and father, tears cascaded down his face. All she did was hold his hand. It was all she could do. She had been almost angry when he told her about Cell, but mostly relieved that her father didn't defeat him. But angry the he had lied to her.

He had moved from the medical wing to his room. There was a knock at the door before Goten walked in. Bulma had already yelled at him, but this time she didn't cry like she usually did.

"Gohan?" the boy said, walking over to the bed.

"Yes Goten?"

"I don't want to lose you."

"I am sorry Goten." he picked up the seven year old boy and placed him on the bed.

"What make you so sad big brother?"

"Our parents."

"Why?"

"It was my carelessness that got out father killed. And it is my fault that you do not have a father. Mother died of a broken heart, despite medical reasons. Because of father, because of me! It is my fault and my fault alone."

"Vegeta told me all about the fight with Cell. That is wasn't your fault. I don't blame you. Dad chose to stay dead. Mom is with him now. They have each other, and we have each other too. Please don't leave me Gohan." Goten clutched his brother's torso.

"I shall not Little Guy."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Promise what?"

"I promise to never leave you Son Goten."

"Let's go spar Go-chan!"

"Alright Little Go-chan."
