Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Blood Bath ❯ Chapter 5 ( Chapter 5 )

Goku stood over Goten and sighed. "Yeesh, all of those people finally left." He said to Chi-chi. "They're were all getting a little to over-bearing."

Chi-chi lay down on the bed as she watched Goku lean over Goten and then let her eyes close. Her sore back began to relax, as she got comfortable. She could hear some sheets ruffle and then the sound of skin hitting skin. Her breath left her as Goku fell on her. Chi-chi struggled to push Goku off of her and see what was happening.

Chi-chi stared as she saw Goten sit up in his bed. Goten was screaming as he pulled the I.V. in his arm out. Blood dripped from his hand as he squeezed the needle in a crazed fury. Goku jumped up when Goten looked under the sheets and then reached down and tried to pull his catheter out. Goku grabbed his arm before he could do himself any damage. Goten was still looking down, howling with his eyes shut tight as Goku held onto his hands.

A doctor and a couple of nurses on the night shift ran in after hearing the noise and surrounded Goten's bed, blocking him from Chi-chi's view. He was wrestled down and strapped to the bed. Goku stepped back when they didn't need him anymore.

Goten was still trying to wiggle away as one nurse tried to put in another I.V. and the other helped the doctor by handing him the tools he needed to look over Goten.

When the nurse got the I.V. back in his arm the doctor had her sedate him. Goten's howl's began to quiet down and he fell unconscious.

Dr. Kudomono stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him. Chi-chi and Goku were standing in the hallway waiting to be told what was going on with Goten.

Dr. Kudomono gave them a tired smile. It was 3 o'clock in the morning and he had been called in. "You may go back in now." He said in a raspy, and then he walked away.

Goku and Chi-chi walked in the room despite the disappointment of not being told how Goten was. Chi-chi and Goku walked over to the bed and sat down. Goten had fallen back asleep.

The next morning Chi-chi woke up in the chair she was sitting in the night before. Goku was still sleeping on the other side of the bed. The clock on the night table read 8:45. Chi-chi then looked at Goten. His eyes were open and he was looking around the room. Chi-chi saw his lips move as he muttered various things to himself when his eyes would stop on an object in the room.

Chi-chi smiled and started to cry. "Goten, oh my love." Tears poured down her face as she struggled for to say more.

Goten glanced at her when she said this and then looked away. Chi-chi stood up and placed her hands on his cheeks and gave him a kiss. "Oh honey, I was so worried."

Goku moaned and began to wake up. His eyes snapped open when he saw Goten awake and he jumped up. "Goten!"

There was soft talking outside the door. The door opened and Gohan walked in with Videl at his side.

"Hey Mom, hey Dad. How's Goten doing?"

Goku smiled at Gohan. "He woke up." He answered simply.

Gohan paused, staring at his parents. "What?"

"In the middle of the night, he woke up!" Said Chi-chi.

Gohan felt relief flood his body. He walked stiffly towards the bed and looked at Goten. "Hi Goten." Whispered Gohan.

Goten flickered his eyes quickly at Gohan then looked away. He then pulled his blankets up and tried to roll over. He let out a gasp of pain and ceased to try and roll over.

Gohan studied Goten's face he was pale and sweaty, a small drip of sweat slid down his temple. His hair was damp and each breath he took seemed to cause him pain.

There was a knock at the door and Bulma and Trunks walked in.

"Good morning." Said Bulma

Vegeta stepped in behind Bulma and looked right at Goten. "He woke up." He said gruffly.

Trunks looked up and stared at Goten. Goten met his eyes then closed them slowly.

"I want everyone to get out." Goten's quiet voice was raspy and cracked.

"Goten . . ." Goku started.

"No Dad, just leave me alone."

Everyone hesitated and Chi-chi spoke next. "But Honey . . ."

"Just get out!" Goten tried to yell this but his voice cracked and broke.

The people around his bed glanced at each other then got up and headed out the door. Gohan closed the door softly behind himself.

In the hall everyone looked at eachother awkwardly.

"Well let's give the brat some space and go home for something to eat." Said Vegeta. Bulma nodded and the began to make their way down the hall.

Goku looked down at Chi-chi and saw her try to hide another tear. He gently wrapped his arm around her waist and gave her a little squeeze. They walked to the elevator like that and then headeed to Bulma and Vegeta's house.
