A/N: I haven't updated in a while, so I decided to write two chapters in one day. Aren't I generous?

(Previously)
The house looked calm, and peaceful, but Goku sensed a feeling of dread in the air, telling him that everything was not normal.
"Chi-Chi?", Goku called as he quietly ascended the staircase leading up to their room.
He slowly tip-toed towards the room door, and reached out and grasped the handle, he stood still for a moment in that position,
before he flung the door open at the speed only a Saiyan could possess, but as he had expected, he was not pleased with the sight...
"CHI-CHI"

"CHI-CHI!", Goku yelled as he saw the state of the room.
Books were laying torn with it's pages ripped out across the floor of the room, shelves were laying broken as well,
the large double-sized bed was over turned and broken, the glass of the windows were smashed,
and the burglar bars lay dented and broken on the floor.
And there, in the center of the mess, lay Chi-Chi's headless body, with blood still spurting like water out of her freshly severed neck,
her head lay somewhere discarded amongst the rubble that was once her and Goku's room.
"NOO!", Goku cried as he sank down on his knees infront of his wife.
She wore her long, short-sleeved purple dress, with black toe-less sandles, her yellow handkerchief tied around what was left of her neck,
and all her clothes were soaked with blood.
It was apparent by the clothes she was currently wearing that she had gone to the shop, and had been attacked when she returned.
There were no other injuries anywhere on her body except for her severed head, her neck in a straight line signalling a clean cut swipe that took her head off instantly,
without giving her a chance to react.
Tears rolled down Goku's cheeks from his tightly shut eyes.
He tried telling himself that it was all simply a bad dream, and that he would wake up soon to find that everything was alright,
no one had been killed, and that the scene infront of him had never taken place.
However, that only increased his pain and disappointment when he opened his eyes, only to find that everything remained the same.
Goku slowly stood up shakily after a long time of silently crying, in order to find her head.
Blood seeping through the carpet under the bed showed him his target.
Goku closed his eyes and took a deep breath, before he placed his hands on the bed, and effortlessly raised it above his head,
to find Chi-Chi's bloody head lying under the bed, her black eyes wide open in shock, staring at him.
He wobbled slightly on seeing her head, and slowly tossed the bed against the far wall as he fell backwards but caught himself with his hands,
and stared shakily at his wife's cold, dead eyes staring terrifed at him, her mouth still open as if silently screaming,
but she was already dead the moment the blade sliced through her neck.
Very slowly, Goku crawled out of the room, and stood as he reached the passage.
He walked in a drunken-like trance towards the lounge, where he picked up the phone, and dialled Bulma's number, telling her the bad news.
He then proceeded to tell Krillin, Master Roshi and Oolong the bad news too, but only Krillin and Bulma decided to visit Goku.
Even Piccolo came with them. He had been in a deep session of meditation by the waterfall, but Tien, Chiaotzu and Yamcha's death one after the other
broke him out of it, and alerted him to the presence of danger.
Gohan had gone on a holiday out of the country for the High School summer holidays, along with his girlfriend Videl, and some of their friends.
Goku could still clearly sense Gohan's energy, but was confused that Gohan had not returned even after Yamcha's death.
He was sure Gohan could not be so engrossed in his holiday that he would not bother about the death of his friends.
Goku's shocked mind caused him to think absurd thoughts.
"(Maybe Gohan is the killer...?)", Goku thought somberly.
"(No...He wouldn't kill his own mother, would he? Neither could he be responsible for Tien or Chiaotzu or Yamcha's death either,
he never had a grudge against any of them...But, he was acting kinda strange before he left, though...)"
While waiting for the others to arrive, Goku headed back up the staircase, towards his one year old son, Goten's room.
The light was off in Goten's yellow walled room, painted with pictures of numerous animals.
Goten's cot stood in the center of the room, with Goten sleeping peacefully inside, oblivious of his mother's death, or any other of the death's that had been taking
place either for that matter.
Goku slowly brought his arms down to Goten, and scooped him up into his arms.
Goten's head rested against his father's chest, and Goku stroked his small head soothingly, although he was the only one in need of consolation at the moment.
The sound of Bulma's voice shook Goku out of his grievous thoughts, and he walked back towards the lounge where he heard it, still carrying the sleeping Goten.
Bulma just stepped over the rubble that was once the front door, and entered the Son house, calling out to Goku as she entered.
Moments later, she saw him enter the lounge, a sad expression on his face, sadder that she had ever seen him.
But his eyes were what surprised her most. The once happy gleam in his eyes were now diminished, leaving only a cold emptiness in the bottomless black orbs.
"Oh Goku, I'm so sorry to hear about Chi-Chi...", She said in a cooing voice, hoping to sooth the grieving Saiyan before her.
Krillin and Piccolo entered behind her, who looked equally surprised as Bulma at the state Goku was in.
The group of friends began to converse, minus Piccolo, who just sat silently on a couch, listening in to the conversation,
when a large power level and the sound of a person landing on the ground outside the Son House caught their attention.
They were hit with an enormous wave of pride, arrogance and hatred, and they instantly knew who it was...

A/N: Alright, time to clear some things up.
Firstly, I know Gohan isn't already in High School by the time Goten is just born, but I decided to make it like that in this story.
And that's it.
This chapter was short and boring, but you'll just have to suffer through it.
I'll try to make the story more interesting for here on, and there's not a lot of chapters left anyway.
I'm also sure you're all quite confused right about now.
We have three suspects...(Three finger gesture)
Vegeta, Gohan, and Frieza.
But don't be fooled, they are not the only possible killers, there are other suspects as well, these are just the main three.
I'll start putting in hints on who the bad guy is from here on out, and the one who guesses who it is correctly will get two frowns and a smile as a reward.
Now then, begin reviewing!
