he passed a bench, heard gunshots and saw some black hooded figures with sacks in their arms and a woman dragging behind them flee. Without hesitation, Gohan stood in their way to stop them. "Get out of the way you idiot or I'll shoot you," one of the guys yelled at him. Gohan did not react to this but took up fighting position.


At this moment Gohan startled out of his daydream and looked at the place where Goku was lying or where he had just been. "Goku where are you?" He called and jumped up to look for the little one. In the hope he didn't start it, I shouldn't have been so absent.After five minutes he found him sitting in a field of wild strawberries and smeared red from top to bottom. At this sight Gohan had to laugh, the little cheeky badger just looked too funny. "You must have been plagued by hunger and you immediately found something to eat, but now you also have to be bathed." Goku looked at him angrily, which Gohan did not let himself be impressed by and just grabbed him. At the same time Goku started screaming and lashing out wildly. "That doesn't help you either, either you behave yourself now or I'll grab you by the tail!" And immediately the planned one was over. “Well then, it works!” He got another scowl. When he got home, Goku was bathed under protest, at the end Gohan was just as wet as he was and since it was now time for a small child to go to bed, Gohan put him to sleep. "It's lucky that you are still so small and that you sleep or eat most of the time, otherwise I would have serious problems with you."and since the little one was sleeping, Gohan made his way to fetch the halves of the tree and his thoughts drifted back into the past.


He had stopped the bank robbers and rescued the woman, but accidentally killed one of the robbers. Gohan had not waited for the police to arrive but fled. He hadn't paid attention to where his feet were taking him and ended up in the park where he had dropped under a tree. On that day a world collapsed for Gohan, whom he had vowed never to kill even though he had trained in martial arts. As a child he had to watch a band of robbers raid his village and kill half of the inhabitants, at that moment he had realized that he would fight injustice, but without killing he had seen how the relatives had mourned for the lost and didn't mean to do the same to anyone. But he had done it and in order to prevent something like this from happening again, he had left Master Mutaito's school without saying goodbye and moved into the solitude of the mountains.Since then he had broken off all contact with people, including Muten Roschie, his best friend, he no longer knew how long it was now, only that it had been very many decades. The arrival of little Goku made him aware for the first time that he missed being able to talk to someone, even if it was a malicious little child.


When Gohan went to bed he had made up his mind that he would try to contact Muten with Roschie, maybe it was time to end his self-chosen exile, but only when Goku was better educated.




Chapter 5




The attempt:


Goku was just about to blow up Gohan's house when he called. "It's okay, you've won, but if you destroy the house I can't make you eat!" The little one paused immediately and looked at Gohan triumphantly. Gohan quickly got some fruit, some vegetables and a cured slice of meat from the kitchen cupboard and conjured up a meal for Goku in a few minutes."So now satisfied, you brat." after he had finished he was tired and Gohan put him to sleep.


Exhausted, Gohan sank down on a chair and softened the sweat from his forehead, that almost went wrong, while Goku should only have learned to behave a little better. Well that with no food when he did something was definitely a letdown, which out of sheer anger that he was starving, Goku had tried to tear apart his surroundings. Then I just have to do it differently, maybe he'll change when he's older. However, Gohan knew that he was doing this with regard to illusions.


After clearing up the chaos caused by Goku, Gohan sat down at the table, took out his writing utensils and began to write a letter to Muten Roschi.


After he was finished, Gohan sighed with satisfaction, he had told Muten Roschi the reasons for his disappearance and the events of the following years, up to and including the discovery of Goku and the events of today.Gohan put the letter in an envelope and put it on the kitchen cupboard, he wanted to give it to one of them in a few days, like every year, with the request to mail it. Maybe his old friend had an idea how he could get Goku, if Muten Roschie could still remember him and was interested in reviving the old friendship.


Since Goku was still asleep, Gohn made some new clothes for Goku from some fabrics that he kept in a drawer in the closet, as the little one had almost grown out of his others. He gets to work in a much better mood. Although he almost had to laugh at what you learned as a hermit, even sewing had at some point become a normal occupation for him, one that he even mastered very well!
