Chapter 11 Gohan's Understanding
Sunday afternoon and Monday Gohan stayed by Goten's side. The little male had been let out of the tank Monday morning and his brother was catering to his every whim. Gohan forbid him from sparring with Trunks for the day and the next. Trunks had also been put under house "arrest". The Two settled for playing video games and watching movies all day.
Wednesday, the Two went back to sparring under the watchful eye of Vegeta. Bulma and her father started to rebuild the gravity room while Gohan went back to school. He could hardly concentrate though. The next day was Videl's birthday. After three months of waiting, she would finally be eighteen. And she would finally be his. He would claim her as his eternal mate. He had already planned to make her miss the last two school days of the week. They would be very busy with more important matters. He had no care to continue school after this week. He had gotten what he had come for. Gohan could barely contain himself. He was in heat again.
Today they were giving their presentation on the Ox Kingdom. His grandfather was nice enough to come in and talk to the class. It was also Erasa and her partner's turn today, so the whole Briefs family was coming in, including Goten, so Bulma could speak to the class.
"First will be Erasa and Devlin doing their presentation on the Briefs family." The teacher announced. As the duo walked up front, Gohan started to tune out. He did live at CC with the family after all. After five minutes of hearing Bulma drone, he was about to fall asleep, but Vegeta spiked his ki.
"Gohan," Bulma said, "come on up please." Gohan did as he was told and walked up to join the rest of the royals in the front of the room. "Gohan here is my godson and he himself has put time and energy into helping Capsule Corp's product line. He is the only one crazy enough to test some of my products first hand." Bulma drone on once again. Gohan stood alert like the rest of the males.
After Bulma was done, Erasa and Devlin spoke some more, then they were finished. "Gohan, while you're up here, you and Videl go next." The little round teacher said. The Briefs family took a seat while Videl came down and Ox King came in.
"Our presentation is about the Ox Kingdom. We have a guest speaker, he is the King of Ox Kingdom. His addition to recent history is the reforming of his kingdom's crop industry. The industry is one of the main sources of food all over the world." Gohan spoke deeply and coldly about his kingdom. He personally didn't have to do any research, his mother had droned in the facts of their kingdom since he was a small boy.
Videl spoke then. "The Ox King's royal lineage is still continued today. His wife, Queen Lilka, died giving birth to their only heir, Princess Chichi. The princess is known around the world to be the strongest woman, she was the only female to win the World Martial Arts Tournament. Shortly after she won, she married fellow famous fighter, Son Goku. He himself has won several tournaments, defeated the Red Ribbon Army and stopped evil King Piccolo. Sadly both the princess and her prince died seven years ago. Goku at the hands of Cell, and Chichi giving birth to the second heir to the crown." As his future mate spoke, tears cascaded down Gohan's cheeks. He ground his teeth to hold back his sobs. Goten, who had stayed up front, felt his brother's sadness and took his hand. "The second heir to the crown is this cute little guy here, Little Son Goten. The heir to the kingdom is our very own classmate, Crown Prince Son Gohan." The class gasped at the new information.
"Thank you for the introduction Videl, hello class. I am the King of Ox Kingdom." Gohan's grandfather took over. Videl walked back and stood with her almost mate.
"Gohan, I'm sorry." She spoke in saiyan to him.
"It is alright." His voice was hollow like his eyes.
"I love you Go-Chan."
"I love you too Little Go-Chan." After his grandfather spoke for ten minutes, Gohan finished their presentation quickly. "As you can see, my Kingdom has added greatly to the world by its production of crops."
The bell rang after Gohan and Videl finished. The Sons, Briefs, Videl and Ox King al left together to go back to CC. Outside, the sky had turned dark black and rain poured down on the group. Halfway during their was out of the city to fly back, Gohan grunted and shot off into the sky. Videl tried to follow, but the youngest princes held her back. Since she didn't have a bond with him yet, she didn't know what Gohan's grunts meant.
Gohan flew away from CC at breakneck speed towards the mountains. He knew where to go when he wanted to be alone. He went to his parent's house. His childhood home. A little cottage in the middle of nowhere. He landed on the ground and fell to his knees in front of the small dome. Since he had left with Goten, Gohan had not been able to go back in. "Why did you leave us? Why did you leave me? WHY?" He screamed, slamming his hands down into the mud coating himself.
Vegeta walked up behind the boy. Gohan knew he was coming, he always came. So he didn't bother to hide his ki anymore. "No one blames you boy."
"I do."
"Yes, I know. But you know what I'm going to say."
"I do."
"And you know better then to leave your brothers."
"I do."
"Gohan, it is time to stop living in the past. Focus on what is happening now. You will never again have the chance to see Goten and Trunks to grow up. You've been there since the beginning for them. Why stop now? And what about your mate? She won't want a mate who lives in the past. And what about when you have children? You don't want to miss them growing up. I have enjoyed watching you grow in these past seven years. As well as your brother. Despite blood and breeding, you're both like my sons. And I'm proud to have you in my house. I don't know what would become of our family if you left us."
"Thank you Prince."
"Come home boy. There is nothing left for you here. It's all at the Corp now."
"Yes Sire." Gohan looked up at the sky. The rain washed over him. It felt good, almost cleansing. "I see it now." Gohan said as he felt like his father and mother had just forgiven him. He cried happy tears as the mud washed away from his body. Vegeta looked at the boy in the eyes and saw how much brighter they looked. "Let's go home Prince."
