Gohan opened his eyes to reveal him surrounded by total blackness.
"What, where am I?" Gohan asked himself, rubbing the back of his head.
The reality soon hit him, he had kill himself.
The pre-teen sighed. "So I guess I'm in the other world."
"Not in the other world yet." a female voice explained.
Gohan turned around to see a woman floating on a crystal ball. "Baba?"
"That is correct, I am now going to take you to see King Yemma."
"I thought when people died they automatically went to the upper world or hell."
"That is usually what happens, however your case is different."
Gohan blinked. "How so?"
"I'll just let King Yemma explain it to you."
With that, the two diasppeared.
King Yemma looked down upon the demi with disappointment.
"I shall take my leave." Baba said, vanishing.
"Gohan, do you know why I've called you here?" Yemma questioned.
Gohan shook his head no, even though he had a good idea.
"I called you here because I don't know where to send you. Normally people who commit suicide go to hell for the wrings they've done, but you've never really done anything bad."
"I don't care where you send me! Even hell has to be better than my life was!" Gohan snapped.
"Are you still feeling guilty about your father?"
"Why do you care?! You're only here to send me to either heaven or hell!"
Yemma sighed and pointed to a door across the room.
"Go in there until I decide what to do."
Gohan didn't say anything and obeyed.
King Yemma watched the half-breed shut the door behind him as he entered the room.
"Maybe being reunited with his father would help..."
The room Gohan was sent in was pure white along with everything in it.
Gohan sat in one of the chairs, thinking about what King Yemma was going to do.
"I hope he doesn't tell daddy..."
"You wanted to see me, King Yemma?" Goku walked up to the large desk that Yemma sat behind.
"Yes, it's about Gohan."
"Gohan?!" Goku exclaimed, surprised.
Yemma nodded and pointed to a door.
The door slowly opened to reveal the young demi-Saiyan.
The full blooded Saiyan's eye widened as he noticed the halo above his sons head.
Gohan looked up at his father, avoiding eye contact.
"Gohan, w-what happened?"
"I died." Gohan answered, his voice barely above a whisper.
"How? I don't understand, you beat Cell!"
The younger Son remained silent, too afraid to talk.
After a few more minutes of silence King Yemma decided to answer. "Gohan, killed himself."
Gohan looked down at the ground, not wanting to see his father's reaction.
"He what?!"
"I commited suicide." the half-breed finally worked up the courage to speak.
Goku's eyes turned to the verge of tears. "But why?"
"I-I..." Gohan once again tried to speak, but this time he couldn't.
King Yemma picked up on Gohan's uneasiness.
"Gohan, could you give us a minute?" Yemma asked, motioning to Goku.
Gohan just nodded and went back behind the door he entered from.
The young demi paced back in forth in the room.
"Dad, I hope you don't hate me for what I did..."
Goku looked at the ruler of the other world with confusion. "But why would Gohan do something like that?"
Yemma looked down at the Saiyan. "He was guilt ridden about your death."
"Why would he feel guilty about Cell killing me? Unless..."
"Exactly, he thinks it's his fault that you died becuase he didn't finish Cell right away."
"But even if he did think it was his fault, why would he kill himself?" Goku continued to question, desperate for answers.
"Gohan figured that since you have up your life, he should give up his as well."
"That's not like Gohan!" the Saiyan protested.
"If you don't think so, then perhaps you should talk to him."
Goku nodded. "I guess you're right. Thank you, King Yemma."
Gohan heart was pounding with what his fathers reaction would be towards him.
The demi finally stopped pacing and sat down in the closest corner, his knees brought up to his chest.
The thoughts of facing his father caused a tear to slip down the pre-teens cheek.
A knock at the door snapped Gohan out of his thoughts.
"Come in." Gohan answered, his voice still very low.
Goku opened the door and stared over at his son.
Gohan didn't want to look up at Goku, so his burried his face into his knees.
The silence lingered until Goku decided to make the first move.
The full blooded Saiyan walked towards Gohan and knelt beside him.
"It's okay Gohan..." the father tried to comfort his son.
Gohan lifted his head from his lap and and looked at his father's expression.
The expression was not the hateful one Gohan had expected, rather a confused one.
"I'm sorry father..."
Another tear rolled down Gohan's face, only to be wiped away by Goku.
"You have nothing to be sorry for, Gohan."
"Yes I do. For you being killed, and for me..."
"You don't have to apologize for either of those things." Goku cut his son off.
Gohan put his legs down and wiped the remains of water from his eyes.
Goku placed his hand on the boys shoulder.
"Gohan, why would you...Why would you do that?"
"You mean kill myself?"
Goku nodded.
Gohan looked down at his shoes, remaining silent.
The larger Son put his arm around the younger one.
Gohan still did not raise his eyes, nor speak.
"Gohan, if you don't want to tell me that's okay."
"Thank you."
Goku looked down at Gohan."For what?"
"Not hating me."
"Why would I ever hate you?"
"For what I did to you...and myself."
Goku squeezed his son gently.
"Gohan, what happened to me was not your fault..."
"Yes it was! If I would've finished Cell you wouldn't have had to sacrifice yourself!"
Gohan started to sob quietly.
"Listen, don't think me dying was your fault. It was my choice." Goku tried to soothe Gohan.
"But you wouldn't have had to..."
"Gohan, it was my choice. And if it was anyone's fault, it would be Cell's."
The sobs coming from Gohan slowed down.
"As far as what you did, I don't hate you for that, I'm not even mad at you."
"You aren't?"
"No, I couldn't get mad at you for that. You did what you thought was the right choice."
"Was it?"
"Killing yourself if never the right choice..."
Gohan looked down, his eyes tearing up.
"See, I can't do anything right!"
Goku's eyes changed and his voice sterned.
"You can so and you know it."
Gohan pulled out of Goku's embrace and went to sit back in a chair.
Goku followed and sat in the chair closest to his son.
"Gohan, stop beating yourself up for something that you're not responsible for."
"But I am!"
"No, you're not. "
Gohan got up from his chair and ran over to Goku.
"Daddy!" Gohan yelled, hopping on his fathers lap.
The tears coming from Gohan's eyes stained the orange on Goku's gi to a darker shade of orange.
Goku ran his hands through his sons hair.
"I love you, Gohan."
No response came from the demi.
Goku looked down to see his son sleeping against his chest.
A/N: Wow, I forgot I posted this fic on here, so I also forgot to post the new chapter too, I've decided to chapter this, as opposed to just a one shot!review, and thanks to those who have.
