Part two- Broken souls
With a shattered soul and a wet face Goku sped out the bathroom. Away from the awfull sight still hitting him like a large hammer. Not even bothering to open the door he ran right through and shot up to the air. Just before he left the house he heard both Goten and Vegeta scream when they both reached their peak. Putting his hands to his ears to stop hearing the sounds that now cuased him so much grief.
No no no, was his only thought. Goku kept repeating himself again and again. He simply couldn’t believe that after 15 years of good relationship Vegeta had ended it so cruel. He had cheated on Goku with Goku’s second son Goten, blaming Goku to be the cause of his actions. Goku was supposed to be boring and whiny, behaving like a wife. Vegeta had wanted action not emotion and simply went out to find himself a new, more exciting prey. That came in the shape of Goten, the mirror image of a young and fiery Goku. He had welcomed the saiyan prince, not caring who he hurt by doing so. Goten had had a relationship with Trunks in the meanwhile, but as Trunks was away all day, Goten must have gotten bored as well.
As Goku slowly started to gain his senses again he found himself near the old house of him and his grandpa. He needed time and he had to think, so Goku decided that the best thing to do would be to spend some time here. Catch his own meals and be on his own, far far away from anyone he knew.
He entered the house and smelled the air. The only memory it brought up was that of his childhood in the forest, so sweet and alone. Not even knowing there were other people beside him and his grandpa. Goku started to put back the fallen furniture and find himself a place to sleep as it was slowly getting dark outside. He found his old futon and spread it out across the floor in the bedroom. Memory after memory came back to his mind and after a while it seemed as if the only time he had truly been happy, was the time he spend totally alone with his grandpa in this house. He thought about the people close to him and came to the sad conclusion that almost all of them had hurt him. Bulma and Chichi were dead, gohan was a teacher and had no time left, Trunks worked all the time, yamcha had run off with some ditzy chick, Tien and Chaozu were always training and Krillin was a dad. And Vegeta and Goten.. finally realizing what the person he loved most exactly had the done, the tears flowed across his cheeks. In utter desperation he sobbed and cried out his loss. Without any emotions left to give he fell in a ditsurbing sleep filled with nightmares, hoping never to wake up again.
‘Goten? I’m home!’
Trunks put down his suitcase to search for his mate. Sniffing the air it wasn’t hard to tell where Goten was or what he was doing. Strong garlic and tomato sauce flowed from the kitchen. Trunks heart jumped a bit, he was so hungry and now Goten was making him his favorite dish! Spaghetti with tomato sauce and garlic so strong the neighboorhood thought he had drank from the sewers when he finished his meal.
Grinning he entered the kitchen and found Goten with a sweet –kiss the cook- apron on. Trunks couldn’t do nothing more then simply obey the order written on the cloth and nuzzled Goten from behind and kissed his neck.
‘Hmm.. that smells devine Goten.’
‘I didn’t know you would be so hungry? Stop eating my neck and sit down so we can eat okay?’
‘But the neck part tastes the best Goten you know that.’
‘You sure?’ Goten said while holding up the sauce pan to Trunks’ nose.
Trunks eyes popped open and started drooling on Goten.
‘Definitely not sure anymore!’
while eating the meal Trunks thoughts went slightly away. Most of the time when Goten made his famous spaghetti and garlic dish he invited the other Son’s too. Vegeta always hated the smell of garlic and never came so it was mainly a Son’s feast. Come to think of it, thought Trunks, we haven’t seen Goku in a long while.
‘Goten?’
‘Hmm? What is it Trunks?’
‘Why don’t we go and visit your dad this evening? I’m sure he’d love to see us again and play a game with us.’
‘Aren’t you busy doing work for the CC tonight?’
‘Naw, finished it today so I could have a free day tomorrow, to spend with you!’, Trunks said with a hentai grin, it had been too long since they last * cough * had time enough to ‘clean’ the house again, especially the bedroom.
‘Still can’t be done. Dads out and I don’t know where he is.’
Trunks looked around and picked up a faint ki to the west. It seemed to belong to Goku. Trunks looked over to Goten and smiled.
‘Found him.’, he said with a goofy smile, ‘Come on Goten, we haven’t seen for such a long time and if we bring some of this yummy spaghetti he’ll beg us to come in. It’ll be fun!’
Trunks got up and jumped out of the window before shooting up in a blue flame.
‘I doubt it will be fun.’, Goten murmured before following Trunks outside.
After a while they arrived at the place where Trunks had sensed Goku for the last time, only a few minutes ago, but now it was almost gone. In fact how hard he tried he couldn’t pick up the specific ki pattern that belonged to Goku.
‘Hn.. I can’t find him. Help me Goten.’
For form Goten stuck his nose in the air and sniffed a bit, annoyed and tired.
‘Nope, can’t find hime either. Let’s go.’
‘No he must be here, i’m sure he is.’
A faint hint of ki betrayed Goku’s whereabouts. 300 feet away Trunks found the old house and landed in front of it, followed by a grumpy Goten who snorted in disturbance. Why did Trunks want to go here just now?, he thought to himself. I had been 4 days since he saw his dad fly away in tears after that interesting incident. Goten landed beside Trunks and looked at him. The lavender haired young man seemed to be happy and when he was happy he seemed to radiate it with all his might. Such a shame if he found out, pondered Goten, but who am I kidding here?! He never has any time for me! I have to grow up and start taking care of myself and do whatever I want! Let him feel the pain of being abandoned and suffer the same life I had to live with him this past few years!
Not knowing the revengefull thoughts his mate was having, Trunks opened the old door leading to the small living room. Trunks looked around the corner and only saw some dusty chairs and a table.
‘Goku?’
‘Are you here?’
the faint ki made him nervous. He tried calling Goku again but nothing came back. Goten stepped inside the house and looked around. He kicked an old chair out of the way and looked over to Trunks who was walking towards one of the two doors at the end of the room. He opened one and was apparently some sort of kitchen. But it was all empty and dusty, no one has cooked here for a hundred years, Trunks thought. That made him even worry more. Goku was in this house, he could sense it but without any food? Nothing at all? Trunks rushed out and opened the other oor, leading to the bedroom. There he saw Goku lying on the floor, strangled in a blanket and hardly breathing. Panicked Trunks rushed over to Goku and lifted him up from the cold ground. His heart pounding like mad he laid his ear over Goku’s chest only to hear a faint heartbeat.
‘Goten! Quick! Try to find some senzu in here. I cant believe how weak Goku is! We must heal him before its too late!’
‘Hmm? Yeah, okay i’ll look around.’
Goten slowly walked through the room, shoveling some furniture away with his feet. He couldn’t care less and with a awkward look on his face he pulled a hand out of his pocket and picked up and old rag, only to throw it away in disgust. Trunks in the meanwhile franctically tried to find out what was wrong but nothing seemed wrong. Goku was dying, that was for sure but why? Trunks checked his pulse, his breathing, checked for any wounds or life threatening injuries but nothing was there, truly nothing because it looked as if the heartbeats got slower every second and the breathing shallower.
‘Goten come on! Don’t just stand there but help me!! Goku’s dying for kami’s sake! We have to help him!’, as Goku’s heartbeat missed a second he turned to Goten in sheer panic,’Find a senzu NOW!! He’s slipping away!’
Goten didn’t seem to make any new effort to find one and simply picked up another rag and looked in it. Growling in frustration Trunks searched Goku’s pockets and found a senzu to his great relief and at the same time horror. Why didn’t Goku take that senzu in the first place? He surely must have noticed it if he got sick or something… The senzu seemed whole enough to make Goku at least regain consciousness. Trunks slipped the piece between Goku’s lips and slowly Trunks felt the power of Goku rise little by little. Happy to see Goku recover a bit he felt raging mad inside. That damn Goten. What the hell was he doing!?
‘So what the hell were you doing Goten?’
‘Duh what did it look like Trunks! I searched for a senzu like you told me to!’
‘Well you didn’t seem to hurry it! did it even get through your thick skull you dad was dying here?’
‘Oh my, so thats why he felt so weak. Boo hoo.’
‘Goten? Whats wrong with you? Goku was dying! D-Y-I-N-G! What were you thinking?’
‘He’s a weakling, thats what. Sheesh I cant believe people still depend on him. Look at him! He managed to get attention from everyone again by that so called dying trick. Well I aint falling for that now. Its time he realised that the world doesn’t live for him.’
‘Goten? I can’t believe you’re saying that..’
‘You fell right into his little scam. You’re just like him arent you. A puny weakling. Thinking that everyone will think about you. Oh, Goten I work so hard tonight please cook for me? Please fill the bath? Please wash my clothes? Goten do you have my lunchbox ready? And my clean socks?’ Goten said with a singy and sarcastic voice. Trunks couldn’t believe his ears. He spend as much time as he could with Goten and now he is accusing him of neglectance? What the..
‘Well your dream is over too pal. I’m outta here! Toodles!’
Toodles? Where did he get that from? And what’s he talking about? My dream is over…too?
‘Wait Goten! What are you talking about? I don’t understand! Where are you going?’
At that very moment Goku growled. He had woken up feeling extremely tired and beaten, feeling how something gave him back some strength. But why? He remember he lost himself in a dark and empty dream and he rembered welcoming that emptiness with all his heart. He would finally be at peace. But as soon as the memories got back to him he found himself in a fight. He slowly opened an eye and saw a worried Trunks hovering above him and a little away a steaming mad Goten. What was going on? He saw Trunks sighing with relief. What happened here? But he saw something else in Trunks’ eyes, fear and confusion. What the hell was going on?
‘I’m leaving to see someone more worthy of me and my power. Someone who does have time for me. Buh bye!’
Goten started walking towards the door again. Trunks stood up, but making sure Goku was alright, fuming to the thoughts now raging through his mind. Goten was dumping him for someone else. Why would he do that for? Even Goten should know that every free time he had he spend with his mate.
‘Goten? Trunks?’
Goku looked at the two saiyans both dear to him fighting. When the words hit his soul he realised Goten was pulling the same dirty trick Vegeta had pulled on him. Oh no…, was his first and only thought. He had to stop Goten he couldn’t let more people get hurt by his and Vegeta’s dirty game. Why won’t my feet and hands move? Damn it, I only have enough power to talk let alone smashing Goten so hard he can’t even tell if his ass was in front or behind him! Kuso! Mentally swearing and cursing his weak body he looked over to Trunks. The young man trembled all over and a lone tear made his way across his left cheek. Goten had turned his back and smirking he powered up and sped through the roof, leaving Trunks and Goku covered with a thin coat of sawdust. Trunks fell to his knees, trembling and slowly started to cry.
Goku looked to Trunks and could only curse his damn son and Vegeta, how could they both be so cruel… I don’t recognize them like this. Vegeta was always so strong and at the same time sweet. Goten was my own son. Was. I raised himto respect every life, never to hurt anything or anyone. This isnt my son, not anymore…
Trunks felt abandoned and sobbed francticly at the loss. A loss he didn’t understand and it felt awfully wrong. This wasn’t the Goten he knew, but even then he still loved him. He knew he always would love him. But the words Goten had bitten to him came back with speed of light, bashing his mind and soul to a fine dust. Defeaten he looked behing him and saw Goku looking down, a stream of tears slowly streaming down his face. As they both sat there, they suddenly felt the ki of Goten coming to a hold, it was close to another ki. A ki they both knew and the ki that Goku’s heart filled with fear and pain. Both saiyans soflty whispered the name of the warrior to whom Goten had rushed to.
‘Vegeta.’

*shivers* oooooh... I had so much fun writing Goten like this! I remember people saiyanslash saying they hated Goten like this and why did I write him to be so evil! Well it was part of the story dammit! It wouldnt be much of a story, or a logical story anyway, if Goten wasnt acting like himself. Same goes for Vegeta. But..people still didnt like it, no problem, he was getting his hell part later too anyway ^_^
This story wasnt written with a beta by the way, so shoot me if there are any mistakes, and i know there are quite some so *cough* that shooting thingy was a joke kay? *hands up* kay??
