Chapter Eight: Gohan’s POV

Once the shock of the anti-climatic battle past, the next match was short lived and the third match was heart wrenching one. I may not have loved Videl like she was hoping for, but she was still a friend and watching her nearly get killed in the ring was almost unbearable. If it wasn’t for Piccolo putting a hand on my shoulder, I would have jumped into the ring to protect her. I sighed as the red skin man walked towards me and towards the ring. Again I got an unnerving feeling from the man, that made me was to hide behind Piccolo again. I couldn’t though, this man was my opponent and I wasn’t going to let him scare me off like the little purple man scared Piccolo off.

I fallowed the man to the ring; standing across from the man. “I assure you Gohan, we’ll fight but first I wish to see you at the true height of your power.” I didn’t know what to say. I stopped training till 6 days ago. It didn’t help that I was pregnant. I think I knew I was pregnant before Piccolo did. I woke up after a few hours of sleep five days ago with a sharp cramp like feeling. It hurt but in a way it didn’t. I remember I spent most of that night curled in on myself laying beside Piccolo on our bed trying to will the feeing away. That cave and clearing felt more like home than anywhere else. I remember when he woke up near dawn that fallowing morning; he was worried about me. I remember hearing the slight panic in his voice when he asked me what’s wrong. I remember the prideful look on his face when I confided in him about possibly being pregnant.

My eyes darted to Piccolo who stood watching. I knew he heard what the man asked, he gave a short nod. I looked back at the man before me, pulling off the sunglasses. “Alright but be warned, I’m not an easy person to take down when I power up” I said. The man nodded; I knew the second I started to power up that something was wrong. I couldn’t draw on much of my power that I knew I had. It’s like it wouldn’t wake up but I manage to draw enough energy to at least transform to the second level of super saiyan. The concrete blocks that made up the ring fell back into place.

“He slacked greatly on training. He was so much stronger fighting cell then he is now.” I hear Vegeta say. I managed not to roll my eyes at the comment. If only Vegeta knew that I was pregnant he might not have said a word about it.

“Is this what you wanted to see?” I asked only I found that I couldn’t move as the two pale humans came at me. This was the fight Piccolo warned me about; the one that he had to stay out of. I felt panic and fear rise in me at the large one; Spopovich held me from moving. He was stronger than I thought pure humans could get, when I had a hard time drawing air into my lungs. The thinner man; Yamu stabbed me with this weird gore thing. I felt my energy drop like a stone. It wasn’t what I cared about. I didn’t care how much energy I lost, just about the child’s safety. Unfortunately for me, where the gore was embedded in me, was close to where I felt the discomfort five days ago. I close my eyes unable to bare the sight of pain that played on Piccolo’s face showed that he felt my fear and concern about the child and was struggling to keep in compliance with what was ordered of him.

I felt dizzy, weak and worse than I did after my fight with cell. I wanted to throw up as they let me go. I didn’t even have the energy to move to catch myself as I fell to the arena floor. I couldn’t move but I could still hear and see what was going on. The small purple man that scared Piccolo off from their fight, said he’s explain what was going on as they fallowed Spopovich and Yamu. Piccolo walked over to me. Knelt next to me I knew what he was going to ask before he did.

“I’ll heal him; we’ll be right behind you guys.” Kabito said.

‘Gohan...?’ Even his mind was shaken about want happened. I wanted to reach out to him, comfort him. I didn’t know if the child was okay or not. I knew that if I lost the child; I might not even be able to forgive myself for it. I swore I wouldn’t transform and I did; I broke my word to him. What a great ‘mother’ I’m turning out to be.

‘I’m okay Piccolo, wjen I get the energy, I’ll check on the child and let you know. Don’t let those two get away’ I whispered back softly. I had a feeling he needed to go kill something for not being able to help me. He nodded and fallowed after dad and the other. I felt a large hand on my back and energy starting to flood my body. The first thing I did was reach out with my sense within my own body to feel out the child. I felt a pocket of highly condensed energy; then the flicker of the tiny life within me, protected by the sphere of energy. I’m guessing that it’s why I couldn’t draw on a lot of my energy; that my body realized the danger before I did and was already protecting the child before I was aware of it.

The energy I lost wasn’t fully restored but it was enough that I wouldn’t be defenceless in battle. I stood up nodding to Kibito before we took off. ‘Piccolo...the child is safe’ I said to him as we raced to catch up to the others.

“Sorry that it had to be you Gohan, be we needed someone with high energy to get them to steal energy and lead us back to where a wizard named Bibidi is and more importantly; where a villain named Buu lays sleeping. We need to kill him before he wakes up; it’s the only way to save the universe from the monster’s terror.” Kabito said watching the ground passed by. I got the feeling that he didn’t know much more then what he told.

“Don’t worry about it...It’s not like I was at full power...do to circumstances. Most of my power is tired up elsewhere.” I said, noticing his shock about that news. “Yeah, I know I have a vast amount of power, most of it I haven’t been able to tap into. I’m also figuring that you and Shin were the ones to warn Piccolo not to interfere with what took place.” I speculated. It wasn’t hard to figure out when Piccolo looked like he seen the two before, when they talked with dad and when Piccolo forfeited the match to Shin. It wasn’t like my mate to just step down from a fight like that, which only help my theory about the pair, that one of them knew more about what was going on then they cared to share.

‘Gohan I want you to go back and stay with Dende...I’m not letting you or the child be in harm’s way’ I sighed. I got why he was bring protective about this but if Buu was as big of a threat as Kibito was hinting at, there was nowhere in the universe I could hide and be safe.

‘You know that there is no place I’ll be safe if Buu wakes up’ I said back. ‘I just need to be near you rate now Piccolo, please don’t send me away’ I whispered trying not to let the pain show on my face. I know he didn’t like me showing affection for him around the others but I couldn’t help but need to feel him holding me or feel his power wash over me.

‘Fine, but when I say you leave, I mean it Gohan. I don’t like you being at risk during normal conditions but you being pregnant isn’t helping Gohan. Your power showed that, when you powered up today Gohan.’ I had to agree with him, I could fight if I had to but I couldn’t draw on my full power like I had when I fought Cell. It wasn’t much longer before we landed on the rocky outcrop that the others were hiding on. I landed close to Piccolo, my back against the rocks and the ship before us. I was shaking. My body didn’t like the yo-yoing my energy was doing today. I felt nauseated still.

“Gohan you okay?” I heard dad whisper to me. I nod back. I didn’t have to open my eyes to know that Piccolo wasn’t impressed with me for doing this at the moment.

“Pregnant warriors shouldn’t be here” Shin hissed to Kabito I flinched. They knew, great...glade I’m so obvious to the universe. I felt the shocked looked of the others on me and wanted to flip them off. “Dabura... I didn’t think that the man would be here...this is bad...” Shin breathed out. Dread hit me like a ton of bricks. It wasn’t coming from me but from Piccolo. My mate knew who they were talking about and it stunned him. I flinched hearing him growl deeply, deadly. It didn’t help me but he couldn’t stop himself from being pissed off enough to forget that his growling turned me on.

Seconds later there was a man with bright red skin appeared above us, blasting Kibito into dust. The guy than spat at us and I found myself being tackled out of the way by Piccolo. “So this is where our king hides, and for a weak, meaningless boy no less. Pathetic.” The man said bitterly. Piccolo growled again. I looked at my mate noticing his right hand turning to stone. I felt panic rise up in me.

“Avoid his saliva Gohan and kill him, it’s the only way to break the stone curse.” His said to me before his was fully turned to stone. Krillen’s stuttered scream alerted us to look over at him as he turned to stone. I growled and charged at the floating man. Not my best idea I had to admit but Piccolo gave me a task to do and I’ll be damned if I failed him. The guy smirked dodging my attack but beckoned me to fallow him into the Ship. My mind screamed it was a trap but I didn’t care as I followed him anyways. I heard the shouts from the others not to fallow, I ignored them. Rage filled me for losing Piccolo because I refused to be left behind. I was going to prove that even pregnant; I was still someone to be careful around, someone who could still fight.

I landed on the floor in the room that ship looking for signs of where the man went. “What the Hell is wrong with you Gohan? Your better than to playing into their tarps like this” Dad snapped at me. How could he understand what I’m dealing with? He took the easy way out of dealing with mom. He left me to fill his place in his fight with Cell and in Goten’s life. I finally got out of his shadow. I have my own child that I had to worry about and freeing my mate. I felt a hallow ache in my chest that didn’t go away, it only got worse. My eyes stung with tears I refused to shed.

“Besides losing my mate just now? Besides being pregnant? Besides stepping up to the roll you should have been doing?” I snapped back at him, looking over the room not seeing where Dabura vanished to but knowing that there was a hidden door here somewhere. I heard Vegeta and Shin land and the door above us close. The sound made me freeze, as panic and fear gripped my heart. I felt the tears roll down my face. I leaned against the wall unable to bring myself to move. How could I? I had no reason to move at the moment. For the moment the child was safe and Piccolo was gone. I wanted to curl up and die from the numbness that was spreading from the hallow ach in my chest. I could tell from the silence that no one knew what to say to me to make it better and didn’t try to. I think in a way they knew it was pointless to try and they were right about it. I don’t think I could move for the life of me unless it was to face the demon who took Piccolo from me.
