AN: Hello! It been a while! With the start of school and stuff, I've been hard pressed for time. But, I'm here now... with an extra short chapter... yeah. In return for my less than optimal schedule, the next chapter will be longer! And sooner! Yay! Review! As usual!

"...What?" came Yamcha's confused reply.

"MY BABY, HE'S GONE!" came Chi Chi's voice again.

"Gohan? He's gone?" Yamcha focused and searched for Gohan's ki. It wasn't there. Yamcha's heart skipped a beat.

"I'm sure he's fine, Chi Chi, I'll look for him" Yamcha promised, then hung up.

"Who was that?" Krillin asked.

"It was Chi Chi, Gohan's gone missing, I can't feel his ki."

"Do you think…" Krillin trailed off as a terrible idea came to his mind.

"Don't worry, Dende should know where he is, I'll go to him" Yamcha said, determined to find the world's newest savior.

"What do you mean you don't know where he is?" Yamcha exclaimed, not believing his ears.

"I can't follow someone without good reason," Dende said, frowning "If it were someone who has done bad things, I could, but I can't spy on someone who just saved the world, can I?"

"But I have a feeling that if someone doesn't do something soon, Gohan might make some… rash decisions." Yamcha explained.

Dende hesitated. Then said: "He's hiding in a forest near his house, the 472 Mountain Area."

"Ok, thanks, Dende."

Gohan was hiding in a tree. He had told his mother that he was just going for a walk. But when out of sight of the house, he had taken flight for another forest.

He didn't know why he had done it. He didn't know why he ran away from home. It probably were all the memories of a father he will never have again. Or facing a mother who had become a widow, all because of him.

Chi Chi probably already told the others I'm missing, I can feel Yamcha's ki heading upwards. He'll never find me. Gohan had pushed his ki so far down that it almost hurt, but he'd prefer that to being found.

Yamcha's ki suddenly moved. It moved from a place high in the sky, probably the lookout, directly towards him.

"Crap, he found me. Dende must've told him. Dammit Dende, I just want to be alone!" Gohan muttered under his breath.

High on top of the lookout, a certain green god smiled sheepishly, even though no one could see him.

Gohan was considering his options. Fight or flight? Fight or flight? Yamcha was only getting closer. Fight or flight? Fight or flight? He pondered it for a while. Fight or flight? … Flight.

Bursting to the limits of his base form, releasing his pent-up ki, he dashed away from Yamcha as fast as he could. Hating himself for his cowardice.

Yes, I know this is a very short chapter. It's more filler than anything else. Don't worry, next chapter will have LOTS of drama. Trust me. :)
