like a thin piece of wood and he just croaked softly.
Bulma looked sadly at the floor and nodded.
"I'm scared, Trunks ..... Of course, but ... Check it out
an ..... What distinguishes him .... from a purely biological being? "
Carefully she ran her fingers through Vegeta's hair.
"He suffered ... definitely ... It's not easy for you
proud prince like him ..... if you keep such an existence a secret
must .... and he didn't do it for himself .... no .... it was
not the selfishness that led him to close this secret
true ..... He didn't mean to ... horrify us ...... sad
do...."
Bulma's face lit up.
“Do you understand? And exactly because I recognize this side in him
could .... long before you were born .... that's why I have him
taken and not an easy to get along boring who always
only> Yes and Amen
Trunks had listened to his mother in amazement, and she had listened to it
let go. Now she tugged gently at his shirt.
"Now shut your mouth again and help me ... I want him
repair..."
"Y-yes mother ..." Trunks whispered and knelt next to the boss
of caps. Corp .... He's never had it in a comparable one
Seen situation, never recognized this admirable strength that
his mother shaped ...
And never before could see that his father was more than him
always showed ....
"I want to talk to you ..." Goten smashed firmly and stepped into the
Garden. His father stood next to one of the trees and stroked it
absent the bark of the plant.
"Listen to me, father!"
Goku lowered his head and closed his eyes. Then he waved one
Hand and gestured for his son to begin his conversation.
Goten took a deep, shaky breath, trying not to get away from his
Letting feelings lead you into a rash act. Thousands
Words buzzed through his mind and he tried to get one
to formulate a coherent sentence .... But finally he squeezed
just a single, helpless word.
"Why?"
Goku turned his back on him.
"Why? .... Why did you .... do that?"
Even as the question flowed down his dry lips, he became
aware that a large part of his worldview is comprised in itself
had fallen.
He stared at Goku for a long time ..... Tried to look at the picture again
to remember his beloved father, the radiant, pure
Laughter on his face, those shiny eyes ..... That
Light ..... to feel the warming light that he always felt
would have....
To see the hero he had admired for as long as he could remember ...
But he didn't succeed for a heartbeat ...
His father shrugged his shoulders and took a deep breath.
"Goten ..." he finally breathed and Goten growled.
"I don't want to hear my name from you as long as you are so strange to me
are .... "
Goku winced and looked over his shoulder at his son.
His eyes were wide open .....
"I am not a stranger to you ... I am your father ..."
"No!" roared Goten, noticing like all restraint of
he crumbled.
"No, you are not! MY father would never have done this to Vegeta!
WHO ARE YOU??"
Goku bit his lip and helplessly raised his hands.
"I don't understand what you mean ..... I was just angry ....."
"That's not an explanation! You can't explain that to me
to offer! Not you!"
"Vegeta lied to me, he didn't tell me ... me
was ... disappointed .... "
Goten bared his teeth and clenched his fists.
"That's all? You rag! I would never have believed that you were so WEAK
BE WOULD BE, SON-GOKU! YOU ARE JUST JUST DISAPPOINTING AND
STUPID !!! HAVE NO IDEA OF ANYTHING !!! "
"KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!!"
Goten recoiled and shut his mouth in amazement. His father
had turned completely and hunched his shoulders.
"What do you know.....?" Goku whispered strainedly and
stood on the path with his legs apart.
"You open your mouth and yell at me because you don't know what
you should do! Is that it?"
Goten felt caught out and was already doing something about it
say, but his father interrupted him.
"What should I do? What would you have done in my place? I did
believed he would ...... trust me! And not just since
last night! Always! He is my friend, Goths, mine
longtime friend. I train with him every day, I know everything
on him! Every movement, every breath, everything .... And ..... and ... "
Goku took a breath and swayed. He leaned heavily on the tree
his side.His son was silent.
"And ... suddenly ... he tells me something like that. Yes, I'm naive
and ..... and ..... maybe uneducated, of course. But I have in
my life invests sweat and blood, also in his. I have him
protected, I led him on the right path, and now where
I see how he reaps the fruits of my labor, he must give me that
say."
"Father...."
“No, now I'm talking, you won't interrupt me!” Goku raised
his head, his gaze was wild and angry.
"I'm silent about everything anyway. I always thought I could mine
Filling life with training and fighting, I thought it would be mine
rich .... And suddenly .... suddenly I step into this fire that
Vegeta has laid. This exciting new thing that he offers me. He
Says he loves me and I know exactly what he means. He thinks
that he trusts me, me, his archenemy.He thinks he's not without it
I can live because we are one .... And we are Goths too.
I know that we are. I couldn't live without him either.
Do you understand me? Or do you just want to yell at me again? "
"I don't know ..." stammered Goten and swallowed dryly ...
"I still don't understand ....."
"It's easy !!! I have blown the fuses !! I am
been angry, hurt! It was the first time that someone had met me
hurt ...... In this way ... "
He thought for a moment and finally rubbed his forehead. His look
was cloudy and he was only wobbly on his feet, threatened everyone
Moment to bend your knees.
"I'm sorry .... Although ..."
He began to smile carefully.
"Though I know I didn't hurt Vegeta ... I did him
Allowed rest. And I didn't hurt him ..... "
"Father...."
"I didn't hurt him ... I didn't ... I know that ... He saw
so peaceful ... I gave him something that he could
had wished. He didn't want to anymore ... "
"Yes! Right at that moment he wanted to go again! Because of you! He has ...
he has ..... "Goten had no words. It was all so pointless and
empty. Why should he still speak?
Goku sat down on the grass and leaned tiredly against the tree, Goten
leaned against the doorpost ... He was silent for a while without them
Time to register how it flowed, how it passed ...
"He will never be the same again."
Goku nodded gently.
"Yes. I killed him."
epilogue
A gentle breeze brushes Goten's quiet face. With a
deep breath he draws the fresh air into his lungs and holds
for a moment, as if he wanted something long past again
Let it come back and hold on forever. But he has to breathe out
must release what cannot be tamed.
Timidly he looks down, directs his gaze to the gray stone that
is laid in the grass in front of him and sighs.
Prince Vegeta II
732-788
In each of us there is a piece of time that gives us immortality
confers.
Again and again Goten's gaze crawls over the characters. Often
if he had wished he could speak Saiyan, that sentence too
to have it carved in Vegeta's language. But in the end he knew
not even if Vegeta really liked it. Once again
he lets himself fall into his memories, which keep you going
cause a cold shiver in his body .....
Back then, just two days after speaking to his father
Vegeta had been fixed. He opened his eyes and
sit up without a word. Bulma had fallen around his neck and had
welcomed him, Trunks too was almost blind with joy
and had cheered loudly. Only Goten himself and Goku were
remained silent ... And what happened after that Goten never would
to forget.
Vegeta had stood up, stiff and yet supple, had Goten
looked long and meaningful before passing Goku
and left the room ... Like a ghost.
In the next few weeks a normal state returned,
Goku and Vegeta had trained daily, and sometimes even sat
together in front of the TV and talked about old times .... Goths
got used to it, but one day Goku came home pale
