This is my first story, so do please point out anything that could be revised in my future stories in the reviews section. Also, I'm completely open to negative and positive feedback in regards to the story. Thanks and enjoy.
How does one abandon his family and friends so casually? Why would one do such a thing, in a time of which he is needed most? These along with many other questions constantly ate at Gohan following the 3 years after the Cell Games. As a result of Goku's decision to stay behind and train in Other World, Gohan had been driven into a behavioral nosedive, and was progressively getting worse. He resented his father for leaving him there to take care of his family all by himself. To make matters worse, it angered Gohan that Goten would be raised without a father, just as Gohan did in his early years.
Gohan slowly began to get more and more distraught, and was lashing out at practically anyone who irked him the wrong way, even going as far as snapping at Chi Chi from time to time. For this Chi Chi became increasingly concerned for Gohan's well-being, as he'd never before been this upset with anyone, especially his own mother. Though, all she could think to do for the time being was to try and fight through it, hoping her son's behavioral issues would pass in time. That was not the case.
It was 6 am, the usual time in which Gohan would awake to go train for an hour before breakfast. Instead, he slept right through it, smashing his alarm clock in the process.
"Gohan, get up I made breakfast" Chi Chi said through the door. All she got in response however was a muffled grunt.
Gohan made his way out of bed and into the kitchen, where Goten was already at, scarfing down his smaller plate of food. Even for a 3 year old Gohan was somewhat surprised at how much he ate, but he was a saiyan after all… well half at least. After eating his plate he was to go and begin his morning studies. Today was not that day, as Gohan has instead decided to sneak out the window when his mother wasn't around.
"Gohan I was wondering if you wanted to t…." Chi Chi said as she opened the door to Gohan's room. "Not again!" She exclaimed. "What am I going to do with him? He never listens to me anymore, Why me!" Chi Chi was on the brink of losing it, Gohan was getting too difficult for her.
Gohan had flown to Capsule Corp for a sparring match with Vegeta, which was the only outlet for his built up anger and frustrations. "Oh, Gohan, how are you?" Bulma calmly asked. "I need to see Vegata." Gohan answered in annoyance, walking right passed her and through a hallway.
"Oh, well okay then…" she softly responded. Bulma had known of Gohan's issues, so she tried her best to let Gohan be, and not irritate him with a barrage of questions.
Vegeta was already training with Trunks, in the gravity chamber, when he heard Gohan come through the sliding doors.
"Oh hi Gohan!" Trunks said excitedly, but Gohan just ignored him.
"Brat what do you want now? Another beating!?" He laughed, smirking at Gohan.
"Just shut up and fight me Vegeta, I'm not in the mood" Gohan snapped.
"Fine brat... Trunks, get out of here for now; see if your mother needs you for anything."
"Ok dad, bye Gohan" Trunks said as he flew out the chamber.
Vegeta and Gohan wasted no time, and almost immediately charged at each other with a flurry of punches and kicks. During their spars, Vegeta and Gohan would throw everything they had at each other. Gohan had more overall power, but would always fight blinded by anger, which left him open to a variety of counter attacks being that Vegeta was the more intelligent fighter. However when Gohan decided to go Super Saiyan 2, the fight was his. But even still as a Super Saiyan 2, he was carless and open to attack.
After the spar, Vegeta and Gohan walked into the Capsule Corp kitchen where Trunks and Bulma already were.
"Hmm, looks like you two were trying to kill each other" Bulma pointed out. Their clothes were marred to an extreme as usual. "Yeah, and I won, again" Vegeta said proudly with a smirk on his face. "Whatever Vegeta, I'm outta here." Gohan said in annoyance as he began to walk out.
"Wait, Gohan." Bulma called out to him.
"What now Bulma!?" Gohan snapped. "Well… uh your mother called me. She was wondering if you were here, and she wanted you to go back home and talk to her." Bulma explained. "Whatever" Gohan said, flying out the door.
"Hmm, I hope Gohan's alright, he just hasn't been the same since Goku died." Bulma said with concern in her voice. "Pfft, it's not a bad thing, he's not soft like his father anymore. He's acting like a true saiyan now." Vegeta responded. "Yeah well we don't need another one of you walking around here, it's enough with just you as it is." Bulma replied.
Gohan arrived back home now to find Chi Chi waiting for him. "Gohan I want to talk to you." She firmly said to him. "Make it quick please, I'm not really in the mood for this." Gohan replied, irritated. "Okay, well… I was thinking it'd be best if you go out and maybe talk with some other people your age, and make some friends. You can't just stay around here all day, flying off to train with Vegeta whenever you want you know." She explained to him.
Gohan looked at her with suspicion, "What are you saying"
"Well I've decided to enroll you in Orange Star High School." She said to him.
"What!? You can't be serious!" He angrily snapped. "I don't…"
"It's what's best, trust me. Besides I have enough to deal with Goten here, and not having to homeschool you would really be a great help to me." Chi Chi explained.
"This is ridiculous! I don't need any friends right now, I'm perfectly fine as it is." Gohan responded in annoyance. "You most certainly are not fine as it is. Gohan you're going through a tough time right now, I know but…"
Not wanting to hear anymore, Gohan interrupted. "Fine mom! I'll go if it'll make you stop talking about it." "Oh good! And don't worry it'll be fun, I'm sure!" Chi Chi said with relief.
"Hmn, whatever" Gohan replied, as he walked back into his room, and closed the door.
Gohan began to think to himself. Why should I have to make friends with people, I don't need any of this, not now. This all wouldn't be happening if dad would've just come back. But no! He has to go train, and leave me behind here again, with Goten and mom, all by myself! To make things worse, I now have to go to school with a bunch of annoying people, and hide my powers from everyone. How will I make it through all of this shit.
