Dragon Ball/Z/GT Fan Fiction ❯ Lost ❯ Memory or Nightmare? ( Chapter 13 )

Chapter 13……….

//Goten has gotten better….// I watched Gohan smile at Goten's improvement. //If he keeps this up then Trunks will have a hard time with him at the tournament…..// If at least one of us defeated Trunks, I would be happy. He always boasts on how strong he is, and getting knocked down would be just the thing to bring him to his senses. I signed, Gohan wasn't even trying….this was going no where. I watched Gohan as he began to retaliate against Goten and let his fist go flying at his face. It hit Goten straight in the jaw and he went flying into the ground; is hair returning to its jet black color. I ran over to him and helped him up.

"You ok?"

"Ya, I'm fine," said Goten placing his hand behind his head, Son style.

Gohan went over to us, "Is Goten all right?"

"Ya, he's fine…just some scratches here and there."

"I think we should cool it for today, alright?"

"Sure, I already trained with Vegeta earlier," I said indifferently

"Vegeta?!"

"Ya, I know….Is she crazy or what?" said Goten

I frowned and smacked him on the head.

"Hey! What was that for?"

"For being such a baka!"

"I am not a baka!"

"Are too!!"
"Are not!!"

"Are!!"

"Not!!" (A/N: Sibling rivalry……don't you love it ~_^ )

"QUIT IT!"

We stared in dis-believement at Gohan; he never raises his voice.

"Dang Gohan….."

"Sorry, but do you two have to fight so much…."

"Hey its not like we hate each other, we're just playing."

"Ya, Gohan. Lighten up…."

Gohan shrugged his shoulders in defeat and fell back on the grass. We followed his example, and stayed quiet. I watched the clouds pass slowly by overhead. The grass was cool and their was a light breeze that would come cooling us after our sparing matches.

"Gohan?"

I looked over at Goten as he addressed Gohan.

"Ya?"

"What is our father like?"

"Oh, ya that's right. You two never met him."

We shook our heads and waited impatiently for Gohan to answer. Gohan looked up into the sky for a moment and smiled. THAT LOOK appeared on his face again, that far-off searching gaze that would sometimes last for hours. As if he were searching for something he already knew, but couldn't relate to us.

"He's an….. an angel."

"An angel?"

I cocked my head to the side in confusion, "What is a angel?"

"I don't know, " said Gohan, "All that I know is that you feel happy when they are around."

A picture came to mind of a man with majestic wings that sprouted from his back. He had a golden halo that hovered over his spiky hair, making him seem more noble than before.

I smiled, "I hope he has wings…"

I closed my eyes and relaxed; letting that one image of my father give me comfort.

"Gohan?" I asked, but no one answered. //Is he sleeping?// I opened my eyes and sat up. Yet once I looked around, I found Gohan no where in site. I looked down beside myself to see Goten on his stomach. //He sleeps too much…//

"Goten," I said as I gently shook him.

"Goten…" He didn't move……

"Goten…." I rolled him over and gasped . I felt my heart almost stop…there was so much blood on his gi. And the jagged wounds in his chest gave way to the cause. Blood was still flowing from his body, slowly….no force behind it anymore.

"Oh, Dende!! Goten!!"

He wasn't breathing, his body still and cold.

"No, Goten….You can't….we were just talking before….ok…we were arguing bu-" I stopped in mid sentence as my eyes over flowed with tears….What could of happened……

"What have you done?!"

I turned to see Gohan, his eyes piercing into me, filling me with more fear.

"Gohan, help me…I…."

He rushed over and pushed me out of the way. I pushed myself up and stared at him in disbelief. //Why did he do that?// I edged closer, but Gohan moved away.

"How could you……"

I shook my head in confusion, "I didn't do anything."

Gohan reached over beside me and snatched something up. He held up a knife between the two to us, "Then why was this in your hand when I came over……?"

I looked at the foreign object, completely dumbfounded.

"Answer me!!"

"I've…..never seen it before…."

"Then why was it in your hand?!"

"I…."

"Why!"

I backed away in fear as Gohan looked at me with complete disgust, "I….I don't know!"

"I know you were jealous of Goten, but to resort to this!!"

"I didn't!!" I protested desperately.

"Sure you didn't," said Gohan.

I cried, my little body overcome with emotions, "Why don't you believe me??"

Gohan laid Goten down on the ground and turned to me, "Liar!!"

He lunged at me, the knife gleaming through the blood that already stained it, "Die you monster!!!"

I lurched forward in bed, and I clung to the sheets tightly. My body was covered in sweat, and my heart felt it might just leap out of my chest. I sat up and rubbed my temples. //What was that? It was so real…// Already the dream began to fade in my mind, the faces were blurred images in my memory and the names had been lost. I laid back and stared into the ceiling, "What was that?

Kavar had worked desperately on the units, and smiled at the fact that everything was back to normal. He turned to the sound of the doors opening.

"Lord Turlus," addressed Kavar as he bowed.

"You said there was an emergency concerning Xenia?"

"Yes," said Kavar as he turned back to the console, "Xenia was remembering a past memory?"

"What?!"

"She was sleeping and her dream was a recreation of a certain memory from when she was younger, the units notified me of this."

"And does she remember anything from the dream?" Asked Turlus worriedly.

"If she remembers anything then, whatever it is will be quite unpleasant."

`What do you mean? What did you do?"

"I instituted a transkentic link breakage in her mind. The units in her brain are already programmed with this and all I had to do was activate it. I warped her dream a little you could say….."

"But will she REMEMBER anything?" Asked Turlus, growing more and more impatient.

"At first once she wakes up she'll remember everything, but within a minute everything that would spur any other past memories will have been forgotten."

"Good, then there is no need for concern?"

"No, I don't believe so."

"Good, but why did this happen?"
"That's just it," said Kavar as he faced Turlus again, "We don't know……"

Is Xenia's memories resurfacing? You just have to wait and see!!
