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