Chapter 10 Gohan's Understanding
The school week went by in a blur. Everyday after school was over, Videl went and trained with everyone in the CC house. She was progressing quickly. Since it was wished, she could go to level one, but wanted to be stronger. She wanted to go into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, but Gohan and Vegeta forbid it. It was necessary for her to turn eighteen first. Videl was also being tutored by Vegeta about the saiyan race. Gohan had only told her bits and pieces last Saturday. She was becoming fluent in the language and was also calling Vegeta 'prince' since she was the only non-royal of the six. Bulma mostly fought with Videl since they were closest in power level.
It was early Saturday morning, Bulma and Videl were sparing on the backyard. Gohan and Vegeta watched to point out weaknesses. All was peaceful until they heard a loud bang. The gravity room had just exploded with Goten and Trunks in it. They all ran over screaming., Gohan and Vegeta powered up to maximum and jumped into the wreckage. Gohan dug until he found Goten. He shot up into the air and waited for Vegeta to come up with Trunks. When each man had a boy, they flew to the medical wing with the girls. Bulma instructed them to be put into the regeneration tanks.
When the boys were safely in the tanks, Bulma and Vegeta left, leaving Videl with Gohan. "Come on Gohan. We'll go, uh, eat something."
"You go."
"Gohan."
"Leave me be!" He yelled, his usually cold dismal eyes full of tears for his baby brother.
"Alright." Videl said softly, understanding his despair. She left his alone to continue her spar with Bulma.
"Goten," Gohan balled out. "Why? What happened? I promised never to leave you. I should have made you promise never to leave me." Dropping to the floor, Gohan wept. He cried for his baby brother. That he was hurt, he should have been there to watch the youngest Son. He also cried because Goten didn't have his real parents. That he didn't even have them for a day. That he would never know the warmth of his father's hold or his mother's cooking. See the love and pride in each of their eyes. Then he cried for his mother and father. That they were dead and didn't know their baby boy. And it was all his fault. He cried when he realized that he had broken his promise to his mother to never let Goten get hurt. Again he failed his family. "I am sorry mother." He sobbed out before he passed out on the floor.
