Okay, a special hello to Queen Freaky. She so got the Knights of Neh reference, and I completely agree that Gohan should take those glasses off before someone grinds him into taco meat. I know it took me like forever for the last chapter but with school and attempted murder you get slowed down a bit. Oh, wait. I only wish I had attempted to murder her. Sorry that you guys have to wait so long. I'm just really swamped and am faking that my friend got hit by a car. So another chapter another, oh good god, it's been too long.
Disclaimer: I do not own DBZ or any of its characters. If I did, then things would be, well, different, now wouldn't they?
It All Depends
Goten's P.O.V.
It's just so confusing. When the one person who hurt you the most is the one that you can't stop being in love with everything just so seems far off, distant. It's as if the world has turned its back to you, excluding you from all things humane. Why did something so right feel so wrong? Had I made a mistake? Was there a way to work around it? God, I hate him. He's always confusing me, even when he's not around. How does he do it? He's so perfect. God, I love him. No, I don't. I can't. Stop thinking and go to sleep. But I soon realized sleep could not come. He would forever keep me awake at night and the best I could do to relieve myself of the day's stress was attempt to cry it away. And so I did. I cried for at least an hour, a feat that I had once thought was impossible. Then it struck me. I still had to tell the kids. They're the only ones I had left. The only ones to keep me going.
Landon's P.O.V.
I'd heard the yelling, heard every word spoken that night. It was amazing America hadn't heard them, little own the remainder of Japan. I could only hope Brittany had remained asleep. It was just so hard to believe that my new family was falling apart. My parents had always seemed so perfect together. They never argued, at least not in front of me and they were always telling each other how much they loved each other, which was kind of freaky, but it made the situation all that much stranger. What one thing could possibly have ruined something so perfect? It was such a mystery. That's when I heard it. Daddy had started to cry. It was so hard to listen to a person who was always so happy cry. And the worst part was that it just never seemed to stop. If Daddy was this hurt then Papa must have done something terrible. I would probably never see him again and it stung. It stung worse than I wanted it to. Vegeta said I needed to be void of emotion to be a great warrior. That's what I had to become as well. I have the most potential of all of them and I have to protect the Earth when no one else was able. I had to pretend, no, force myself to not care. I did not love Papa, I could not love Papa. But I did. I could not change that. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't do the whole no emotions thing. I was a failure. I didn't deserve to live. I only had one choice. I slowly snuck out of my room and into the kitchen, opening a drawer and pulling out a steak knife. This was it. I was going to make myself suffer. That is all I would ever deserve. I was disgusting.
Trunk's P.O.V.
I just don't understand. What could I have possibly done wrong? We'd discussed this and he never seemed to have a problem before. I just couldn't put the pieces together. It wasn't just that he was okay with it, but he actually seemed excited. It's a part of who we are and he rejected it. It was just so strange. And poor Gohan. He was in such a horrible condition. If it weren't for me he could have gotten home earlier and met this mysterious figure that spoke to Videl. I mean, who was she to object to our little 'gatherings'. I mean if even Goten's family is on my side, it had to be Goten right. It didn't matter though, did it? There's obviously something I'm missing because Goten is taking this incredibly harshly. I only wish that I could see into his mind. If only he hadn't exploded like that, I could. And he could read my mind as well couldn't he. Maybe then he could see how much I still need him. Almost as much as I love him. Almost as much as I love the children that I can no longer see. There was no point in continuing. My life was meaningless.
Gohan's P.O.V.
I can't believe her! She would trust some stranger over her own husband. How does that even make sense? And its even worse that she didn't tell me what I did wrong. So here I am, living with my parents once more, and I don't even have visitation rights with my little girl. God, the pain she must be going through. It pained me to even consider it. How did this even happen? Where did Videl get off? She thinks she's all that, just like her father. I always hated her father. Maybe I'd always hated her as well. What did I ever see in her anyways? I couldn't even remember anymore. It was just so hard. Everything was falling apart. Then there was Trunks. I'd spent months with him. Everything was working so perfectly until Goten went psycho. If he wasn't gay I'd say he was the perfect match for Videl. Just a pair of bitches. That's all they were. Well, I may not be able to talk to Videl but I can sure give Goten a piece of my mind. If there's something wrong and he's willing to say it, I can figure it out. I'm his brother for god's sake. Let's just hope he's willing to talk. Because if he doesn't then I'm afraid that Trunks and Goten just defied destiny.
Nobody's P.O.V.
The lives of the young can be so beautiful, but when everything seems too beautiful it can only be that around the corner lies something so terrible that what you had before does not seem as wonderful as it once had. So, the memories fade and your new life is the standard you come to expect. But why should this be so? If you can see the big picture you may just realize that this terrible thing has been misviewed. Like a bear in the forest. It may come into view growling terribly and running in your direction. However, if the bear is merely in pain and frightened you may still mistake it for anger and uncontrollable violence. And thus you come to wonder what it is that the big picture shows. If you miss the forest for the trees than you can not see, and if you cannot see the whole tree for the small portion that you saw from a distance then what vantage point do you really have? So as the lives of many of our beloved fall apart it is this question we must ask ourselves. Who is the blinded one in these dark, dark hours?

Trunks: Well that wasn't overly dramatic, was it?
Kaiser: I was at a loss for words. What can I say?
Goten: Why is everyone so suicidal? It frightens me.
Kaiser: Yes, well, so do pop tarts.
Trunks: Good lord man, do not speak of such evil.
Kaiser: Oh god, not you too.
Goten: I want a puppy!
Kaiser: So confused. Must stop the pain. Migraine too powerful.
Trunks: Aha, we've finally subdued the beast
Kaiser: Aw betta.
Goten: Does Kim know?
Trunks: What?
Kaiser: I gotta pee.
So like I said, kind of dramatic but it should leave you thinking. School is still a burden. Unfortunately, I'm really smart so I'm in a bunch of accelerated and advanced placement classes, and trust me, I'm not bragging. Plus we just had finals and it's just a load of crap on my shoulders. I will seriously try to update quicker because I hate this just as much as you do. Be back soon.
