‘Thoughts’

"Speaking"

/actions/< br>
ENJOY!!! ^_^

Gohan hit the ground, falling out of super saiyan 2. He clutched his arm tightly to his side. It was over, he had beaten Cell. His father, Goku, had sacrificed himself to save the earth and all its inhabitants. ‘It's all entirely fault, if I hadn't of gotten so cocky Dad wouldn't have had to give up his own life.’ Gohan thought sadly as Krillin landed beside him.

"Gohan you going to be ok?’ Krillin asked the young saiyan.
“You know your dad is proud of you, you saved the Earth."

Gohan nodded not letting his tears show. He answered in a hallow voice.

"He maybe proud, but I am not; it's my fault he's gone." Gohan mumbled.

His mind was spinning, guilt, anger, sadness and pain circled around in his head. It was all too much he couldn't take in no more. Maybe it was the lack of blood or maybe the lack of ki. Maybe it was both but it affected him in the same way. Gohan wobbled, fell over and passed out.

/Beep...Beep...Beep/

The steady hum of machines was the sound that awoke Gohan, he was only half wake and in some pain. All he could see was clean whiteness and crispness. He looked around finally seeing his mother beside him.

"Mom?" He said in a low whisper, he really didn't want to talk to anyone, not yet at least. He was also very stiff and sore, his shoulder was the worst of it all. Chi-Chi looked at her son with great relief.

"Oh Gohan, I'm so glad you awake. You've been out two day’s straight."

"Where am I?" Gohan said still sort of confused

"I brought you here to the hospital; after Krillin told me what happened." Gohan looked away from his mother in shame.

"Why can't I just have a Senzu bean?"

"I want you to heal normally this time, maybe it will keep you from fighting. It saddens me greatly, losing Goku, I miss him tremendously already. Now that he’s gone I can’t stand the chance of losing you too." Chi-chi said looking very much heartbroken and worried.

"How long before I can leave; this place really bugs me?" Gohan said as he winced as a doctor came over and began to clean his arm then started wrapping it in something from the shoulder down to his wrist.

‘It was so itchy, why must it be so itchy?’ Gohan thought with a grimace.

"As soon as the doctor is finished we can leave." Gohan sat very still thinking of his father as he was being bandaged. He already was missed greatly by friends and family alike. The Son family had always been so close and loving. Chi-chi watched as a tear slid down her son's face. This had to be hard on Gohan, but she knew she would be there for him every step of the way though. She silenced her thoughts as the doctor began to speak.

"Now listen Gohan there is a very good chance your arm will heal almost normal again but only if you follow some rules. First until the muscles in your shoulder and arm heal you should keep your arm in a sling. Second you shouldn't get involved in any type of fighting or sparring. You could mess up your arm worse if you don't be careful in everything you do. Lastly your other injuries should heal quickly so you don't need to really worry about them."

"I wasn't." Gohan interjected.

The doctor cleared his throat then finished speaking.

"You should bring him back in a month to get re-checked, Mrs. Son." She nodded in agreement.

Gohan got of the hospital bed, his right arm hanging at his side. The doctor forced it into a sling. It bugged Gohan more then any hospital could; he was a saiyan, not someone to mess with. The sling was a sign of weakness in Gohan's mind and he vowed he would not keep it. Chi-chi and Gohan walked out of the hospital, and Gohan went to call for the Nimbus, but his mother stopped him.

"You ride the Nimbus, but I can't, it brings back to many memories for me, I'm heading to Bulma's in a taxi."

"I'll be over then, I have to do something first." Gohan said while not looking his mother in the eyes. Chi-chi nodded knowing her son would need some time to himself. Gohan summoned the Nimbus and hopped on, he flew out of sight quickly. Chi-chi then stopped a taxi and headed towards Capsule Corp.

Gohan landed in a small clearing in a forest close to his home. For the first time he saw that his gi had been mended. He quickly took off the sling and threw it at the ground, debating whether or not to blast it to the next dimension. He sighed and decided not to. Gohan sat on the ground, so many thoughts swarmed in his head, like angry buzzing bees.

‘Dad...how could of I been so selfish? I'm the reason your dead, it should be me not you up their. Who's going to protect the Earth? Mom misses you, we all do. If only I had listened to you. No I didn't and once again you saved me. You've always done it, from uncle Raditz, Frieza and whenever else I screwed up. I know that you were there with me when we beat cell. I couldn't have done it alone.’ Gohan realized as he sat on the ground that there wasn't much to do now in his spare time, before he was either sparring or training, or in some cases studying under his mothers orders. He didn't know what to do now. He stood, just a few minutes of fake sparring couldn't hurt him too much could it? Gohan punched at the air with his left arm for a few moments, and then began to kick at it. It made him feel better, more then any medicine could of. Gohan slowly went through his whole warm up except the stuff for his right arm. He then began to fight with the air again, being careful no to hit his arm. He did his fake matches until it began to get dark. Gohan slipped the sling on as he searched for his mother's ki. He located it still at Capsule Corp. Gohan decided to try to fly instead of using the Nimbus. He levitated off the ground; it didn't seem any different or harder as usual. He let the Nimbus fly under him just incase. Gohan then took off to Bulma's house to see his mom.

Gohan entered the house slowly and quietly so not to disturb anyone. He could hear his mother and Bulma talking. He stood near the door listening.

"...I don't know Bulma what to do, everything he used to do he can't any more. He has lost his father Bulma. He isn’t going to be different my smiling, happy, little boy anymore.”

"Chi-chi he seems to be lost himself..." Gohan heard no more because he was tapped on the shoulder. More like punched on his bad shoulder. He turned to face a person he really didn't want to see just yet.

"So you've finally woken up brat. You ready to fight me, or are you too weak now to fight? Kakarot's sacrifice was worthless if you can't even fight anymore..." Vegeta didn't get to finish as Gohan began to power up. Gohan's pent up anger was unleashed and he took it out on Vegeta.

How would you know what my dad wanted?!? You just wanna fight... I will always be stronger then you, so give it up old man!" He flared at the older saiyan. Suddenly a second later Gohan realized he had disturbed the whole block. In a hurry he threw the sling off his arm and blasted off into the night. Not even listening to his mother's pleas to come back
