Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Just Live ❯ It begins..... ( Chapter 1 )

Just live - Part 1

AN: I finally decided to write a serious fic. This idea came to me a long time ago when somebody close to me died. I finally had the courage to post it.

Disclaimer: I don't own in any way Dragonball, Dragonball Z or Dragonball GT.

In the forest, Goku and Gohan were sparring. After a while they had a little break. Gohan was panting, but Goku was fine.

"What's the matter Gohan?" Goku asked the younger Saiyan.

"What do you mean what's the matter? Nothings the matter." Replied Gohan.

"It's just lately, you've been slower than usual, you get tired faster and if you get bruises and cuts, they take a lot longer to heal."

"What do you mean? I haven't got any cuts or bruises."

"Oh no? Then what's this?" asked Goku as he pulled up the sleeve of his son's Gi to reveal a nasty purplish bruise. "I gave you that over a week ago, and it's and it's not healed hardly at all." Gohan just shrugged,

"Your right I guess. Mom's been saying I'm too pale, and my appetite's not what it used to be. Hey I'm probably a bit under the weather that's all. C'mon, let's finish sparring said Gohan as he grinned at his father.

Two days later a loud shout reverberated around the Son household.

"GOHAN!" Chichi shrieked storming into her Son's bedroom. "WHAT is the meaning of THIS?" she yelled thrusting a piece of paper under his nose. Gohan took the paper and began to read.

Dear Mrs Son,

It has come to my attention from several of Gohan's teachers that he often falls asleep during classes. This concerns me as if this continues to happen, Gohan will fall far behind in classes and we may have to consider suspension. As Gohan is an excellent student it would be a shame to blemish his permanent record. Please could you prevent this happening in the future.

Yours truly,

Mr Roberts

Principal of Orange Star High School.

Gohan looked up expecting to see the wrath of Chichi, but instead was met with a look of concern.

"Gohan, is something wrong? Please tell me…. you can talk to me can't you? Are you feeling sick? Tell me please" Chichi pleaded with her oldest son. Gohan looked at her carefully.

"It's like…no matter how much sleep I get…it's not enough. I always feel tired so that's why I fall asleep in class. I'm probably a bit under the weather that's all." Gohan told his mother. Chichi smiled at him.

"Yeah, your probably right….just don't fall asleep in class anymore. Got me?" Chichi said sternly.

"Yeah mom. I promise…"

The next day Gohan awoke late…again. He got dressed quickly, bolted down his breakfast and shot out of the door to school. He met Videl, Erasa and Sharpener - as usual - outside his locker.

"Hey Gohan what's kickin?" Sharpener asked the young Saiyan.

"Ah nothing much. I'm late for class though. As usual"

"We all are" Videl commented. They all ran into class. All through the class, Gohan was so tempted to sleep…but remembering his promise he didn't. He was relieved when the bell rang signalling the end of his class. Clumsily, he put his books in his bag and walked down the steps almost tripping.

"Whoa Gohan! Careful, you'll fall" Gohan turned to see Videl looking very concerned.

"Nah I'm fine. Just a little giddy that's all." He continued down the steps and walked with his friends out of the classroom. Once outside he stopped abruptly.

"Hey Gohan? What's wrong?" Sharpener asked. He didn't get and answer for at that precise moment, Gohan chose to roll his eyes into the back of his head, slump against the lockers and fall to the floor unconscious.

"GOHAN!"

AN: Okay…. I know it's short…just like my other stories….I promise chappies form this story will be long…it's just that moment was a too good cliff-hanger to miss!
