Chapter four

A/N:

Trunks: Greetings everyone. Sorry about the long wait for this chapter. Things just got hectic and no writing could be done.

Goten: coughs Your lying Trunks…

Trunks: glares at Goten Alright I guess I was… there was just no inspiration for this fic… but with the help of Kakkabrat new ideas have come into play….

Goten: What Trunks is trying to say is… thanks…

Trunks: grumbles Why do you always do that… well anyway here is chapter four. Hope you all enjoy it.

Goku was in a terrible state. This news of his wife wanting a divorce was taking its told on him big time. Goku had refused to come out from his room in the Brief's household. He just remained there, in his bed clinging to his legs. Goku had not eaten anything at all for about two days.

Bulma was very worried about Goku. Every time she would go up to Goku's room with a thing of food he would just glare at her and tell her to get out. Bulma tried to insist that he needed to eat to keep up his strength however Goku just turned his back on her. Bulma did her normal routine of leaving food for Goku in his room.

She walked in. It was extremely cold in the room. Dark curtains covered the windows. Bulma sighed as she walked carefully in the room. " Goku… I'm leaving some food here for you if you want it."

" Just take it away and leave me be." Goku said with no emotion in his voice. The once friendly kindhearted man that they all knew had turn cold. His heart seemed to be so emotionless that it couldn't love anyone again.

Bulma shook her head and placed the tray of food on the table. " You need to eat Goku. You can't just stave up here. Besides I think in time you will feel better about this and you will be back to being your old self."

" What would you know about it…. You know nothing of my pain…" Goku growled. He stood up abruptly. " GET OUT!" He shouted.

Bulma feel back in shock as she heard him shout at her. Goku approached her. " I said GET OUT!"

Bulma backed up trying to get out of the room. " Get out and stay out you wretch!!!"

Bulma scrambled to her feet and ran out of the room. Tears were flowing from her eyes as she ran down the stairs. ' What happen to him?'

Goku stared at the food left on the table for a moment and then narrowed his eyes and knocked them from the table. " When will they learn…. I just want to be left alone."

Bulma continued to cry as she walked back into the kitchen. Vegeta heard his wife's cries and came to her aid. He put his arm around her, taking her into a deep embrace she could not refuse. " What's wrong my dear?"

" He lost his temper again… I just don't understand it Vegeta… why is he doing this… what is making him do this?"

" He's devastated… that's all there is to it. His mate is trying to cut ties with him and that is upsetting Kakarot like nothing before. Saiyan mates are together for life so its only natural that it would anger him. Besides, I noticed how even when she would get mad at him, Kakarot always had that stupid smile on his face. But now that's gone. He has thrown himself into a depression and he can't break out of it."

" Is there anything we can do to help him? It hurts me to see Goku in his condition. He doesn't deserve this pain… I want to help him."

Vegeta brought Bulma closer to his body. " Sh… it's alright. Sadly there is nothing you can do for him now. He has to work this out on his own." He turned her toward him, a small smile appearing on his face. " However… I will try my hardest to get him out of his fling and on the right track. Even for a Saiyan… he's in too deep. Someone has to pull him out of it and I am the only person that understands him and his feelings…."

Bulma nodded. " Be careful…"

Vegeta gave her an assuring look that he would be okay. The Saiyan Prince walked up the stairs to Goku's bedroom. He opened the door looking at Goku's depressed form. Goku was crumpled on the bed not moving an inch.

" What do you want?" Goku hissed from his position in the bed.

" Look at the disgrace you have become… Get up Kakarot!"

" Leave me alone Vegeta… I just want to be left alone!"

" I don't care what you want! Get your sorry excuse for a man's ass off that bed now!"

" Fuck off Vegeta… I'm not in the mood… so get out before I kill you."

" Pathetic… here you are the strongest person to live on this planet…. And now look at you… a wreck! Forget about that harpy… she was nothing… she had no feelings for you… if she did, she wouldn't think of doing such an act."

Goku growled as he got up from his bed, taking hold of Vegeta. " Stop talking trash about my Chi-chi! It's not her fault… it's mine."

Vegeta knocked Goku's hand away. " You did nothing but protect her sorry ass for all these years. You even died making sure she would be safe… So stop blaming yourself… get over it!!!!"

" Stop it…" Goku muttered. He shook in rage. " STOP IT!" He shouted. Goku breathed hard as he looked at Vegeta. " I'm sorry… I'm going out for a while.. I'll come back when I calm down. You and Bulma don't need to get hurt by my anger." Goku opened the door leaving Vegeta all alone in the room.

Goku walked down the stairs. Bulma was sitting in the kitchen. Her fingers in her hair, tears still falling from them. Goku pocked his head in. " Bulma?"

Bulma's head snapped up to see Goku. " Goku!" She exclaimed.

Goku put his hands up in defense. " It's alright… I'm not going to hurt you.. I just wanted to… say… I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gotten angry with you. You were just trying to help me get better and I closed off my heart."

Bulma's face cracked a little smile. " I'm always here to help you Goku… don't you forget that."

" Thank you again Bulma… I'm just going for a little walk… I'll be back a little bit matter once I cool off. Okay?"

" That's fine…" Bulma said. " Have a relaxing time."

" I will… thank you." Goku walked out of the Briefs house and took off into the sky headed toward the woods. ' If I go there I will not risk anyone's health or feelings. I will simply be able to live with problems… and that will make it a bit easier… or I hope it will…'
