Dragonball: Unforgotten
Chapter Twenty-three
Goku smiled against the wind as he grasped the golden-orange ball in his hand. His feet were firmly planted on his golden cloud as he raced through the sky. Finally, finally he could use the dragonballs to make the wish. And once he did you’d be free to live your life with him.
He couldn’t wait to start training you. After what he’d seen and felt you do on the wedding night, he was excited. It had been a while since he had a good sparring partner. And while you would need time to learn how to fight he just knew you’d be good at it. Somewhere in his bones told him you’d be an excellent fighter if given the opportunity.
Goku urges his flying nimbus to go faster. His mind was reeling with all of the possibilities but he was afraid. Something inside of him clenched in fear, telling him that you were gone. He couldn’t sense your energy. He hadn’t been able to sense it the further he got from the lookout because it had gotten so weak in the last week. But this felt different. This felt like a void. And it scared him.
He created over the edge of the lookout, only waiting the barest of moments before jumping off and running to the pavilion. Without wasting even a second on greetings, Goku ran to your room. You bed was freshly made but you weren’t in it. He still couldn’t sense your energy. His heart sped up as he panicked. Goku didn’t give up there though. He sped to the bathroom and when he couldn’t find you there, he hurried to the kitchen and dining room. Nothing.
As he gripped onto the ball, Goku didn’t even feel the rest of his body shaking. You weren’t where he left you. You’d disappeared. He couldn’t sense your energy…
“Welcome back Goku,” Kami greeted as he found the overactive 17 year old.
“Where is she? Where is my wife?” Goku asked with a desperate plea in his voice.
“She’s gone Goku.”
Kami was vague on purpose. He knew that if Goku knew you were off planet that he’d either try to follow you or wish you back to Earth with him. If he wished you back, that really wound end up with you dying. He had sensed no malice in the disguised Yardratian when she had come to the lookout. He trusted that the woman who had raised you for the last few years would have your best interest in heart. On the other hand, now that one of his suspicions had been confirmed, Kami also knew that if Goku went after you he’d also suffer. No doubt he’d be picked off pretty quickly just for being born a saiyan. He wasn’t strong enough to be on his own out there.
“Stop joking. Where is she?”
“Goku...she’s truly gone.”
The dragonball dropped from his grasp. The sound of it falling onto the tile was deafening. Goku clenched his fists tightly as he continued to shake.
“How long has she been...?”
“I don’t see how that would make a difference.”
“How long?!”
It was perhaps the first and only time that Goku had ever yelled at Kami. He knew that it was wrong but he couldn't stop the panic and outrage that ran up from his very center.
"Ten minutes."
Goku looked at Kami's face with a wild expression. Akin to someone either about to burst out in rage or full on panic. And even Goku didn't know which way it can go.
"So her body is still all here. Okay. I'm going to get the dragonballs. And we're going to wish her back."
"Even if you wished her back Goku, she would just die. Most of her organs would still be unsuited for her body."
"We'll find a way to fix that," okay, cue the panic starting to seep in. He spread his hands out as though indicating to some unseen force."We just needed more time. If we had more time...we could…"
"Goku. No. She's gone."
"No!"
Okay, so maybe not the only time he yelled at Kami. But really this was just one big continuation of the same yell. So did that really count?
"You need to accept it Goku. She wanted you to be happy. She left us, asking me to help you move on."
As far as Kami was concerned, he hadn't said a single thing that wasn't true. He just hadn't told Goku that when he said left, he meant left for another planet and not left because she died. That little part he was going to hold to himself until they knew for sure that you would be okay. He didn't want to get Goku's hope up for no reason.
"No. There has to be something we can do. Kami, please," Goku pleaded, his tone louder than it needed to be.
It echoed off of the walls, seeping into Kami's ears. For all that Goku had done for this world, the Guardian of Earth knew that none of that would be harder than what he was facing. Though Kami had never actually loved someone and lost them the way that Goku just had, he had seen thousands if not millions of couples go through the same experience from atop his perch. And while he did have more powers than most of this world he wasn't all powerful. There were still some things that even he couldn't change on his own. This just happened to be one of those situations. Still…
"Rest, Goku. I will think on the matter."
"But I --"
"Rest," Kami insisted.
Trembling, Goku nodded. He wasn't tired but there wasn't much that he could do. If he wished you back to life with the Dragonballs there was no guarantee that you wouldn't die a week later in a massive amount pain. Just like you had right now (as far as he knew). It would have been a cruel trick to you and he wasn't sure if he would take watching you actually take your last breath. Not like that. Not in a situation where he was so powerless to stop it from happening. He made his way to the room that you'd been in for the last week, the one that he had slept in beside you ever night that he was at Kami's lookout.
Goku laid down on the bed and curled into a pillow.
You were gone.
And he was not okay with that.
He felt himself curl up tighter into the pillow, trying to smell the soap you used in your hair, the natural scent of your skin. Anything really to help him calm down. He kept trying to reassure himself that Kami would find an answer as he breathed in your linger scent. And even though it helped, Goku felt his eyes start to warm up. He curled up tighter into a small ball just like he was a kid. And that was how he fell asleep.
And for the next three days that's exactly how he stayed. He didn't want to get up; he didn't want to eat and he held his bladder to the point where even the pain had faded. If he left the bed and Kami didn't have an answer then that was it. You were gone. He didn't want that.
By that third day, Kami realized that Goku might very well let himself wither away. He sighed out deeply as he passed by the door. After all the work that he'd done into training Goku to help protect the Earth and witnessing the honest heart that the man had Kami wasn't willing to let him stay like that.
When he was sure that Goku wasn't likely to wake up easily, Kami gathered the dragonballs outside and summoned the dragon. Goku opened his eyes weakly and looked outside. The dark clouds looked very familiar…the dragon. Kami figured it out. He had to have had. That's all the thoughts that went through Goku's head as he made his way out of the building with a wavering smile on his face.
He stopped as he looked at Kami in the middle of the open space outside. The dragon swirled around and demanded their wish. But as Goku heard what Kami was saying he started hurrying out.
"Great Dragon, I wish that the one named Son, Goku forget the one named Greene, Bella…"
"No! Kami, No!"
He didn't want to forget. If he forgot you then he couldn't even try to make a wish next year.
"I don't want to forget her!"
Kami ignored Goku, though he did spare the grieving man a sad look. He clenched onto his staff and continued, "until she returns to Earth and calls him by his name."
Returns to Earth...in the brief moment that the Dragon took to grant the wish, Goku realized multiple things. That you were alive. That you were just off of Earth. And that Kami knew all of that. Betrayal raced through his body at the speed of light.
"I DON'T WANT TO FORGET!"
But he did. The light of the dragon surrounded his body and Goku felt the memories being locked away into the back of his mind like a pirate's treasure. The pain lessened with each one but so did all of the good and happy feelings he had attached with them. He tensed up, struggling to hold onto something. But they all slipped away from him. And when the light died away, the dragonballs had already disappeared. Goku was left standing in the middle of large open space.
"Oh, hey Kami. Do you have any food? I'm starving!"
