The blackness of the night cloaked the heavens above as the night sky revealed itself to the mortals below. Soon the stars emerged from out of the darkness revealing their gentle light for all to see, sparkling with crystal clear diamonds and crystals, the stars light pierces through the darkness and brought light before the cover that hid the beauty of the heavens. However the everlasting light soon stopped its glory, as the heavens themselves were unleashed once again upon the world below, and the void of darkness was vanquished. The golden coin of the sun emerged once more from its slumber and awoke revealing its warm gaze, the mighty yet familiar tower continued to show its brilliant structure to the people down below or for those that had taken flight. High above the gentleness of the clouds and deep into the sea blue sky lied the very top of the tower where a large shrine sat on a large open circle like platform, trees stood to attention of the left and right side of the middle. More trees that appeared just near the temple to brighten the area and make it more colourful, within its exterior of the temple stood the namekian guardian of the Earth Kami. He was a wise namekian who had watched over the Earth for many years, some were lucky enough to train with him and it just so happens one of Kami’s students was eight year old Goten the son of Goku, Kami quietly turned his gaze down towards the people below.
Meanwhile as morning slowly dawned and just to the west was a large section of the shrine. And behind a closed bronze wooden door was a large square room filled with many popular and rare valuables such as vases, paintings and toys? Yes toys as this very giant of a room happened to be Goten’s newest room to rest and sleep in during his training with Kami. The bed that he slept was twice as big for his size, but it didn’t matter as long as he could get some well-deserved sleep and some food as well, and food was on the agenda for the new day! Slowly Goten’s bedroom door opened and Kami’s assistant gently appeared holding a small tray, which was filled with a bowl of egg fried rice and a glass of freshly made milk. He placed the tray onto the table that stood just north of the bedroom; very gently he headed back towards the door and closed it as quietly as he could, so that Goten wasn’t disturbed. The half Saiyan half-pint was gently asleep within the confines of the warm linen of the king size bed, his head was rested on the right side, but his nose suddenly twitched at the smell of breakfast. And like an alarm clock ringing inside his mind Goten slowly opened his eyes until his vision was showing him the right hand side of the white coloured wall. Realising where he was Goten slowly moved bed linen and removed his legs from underneath its warmth, until his legs sat on top of the bed itself. Slowly he raised his head away from the softness of the pillow and sat up with a tired look in his eyes and face. Then he stretched out his arms and legs while letting loose a giant yawn forcing him to open his mouth and close again after the yawn passed.
Rubbing his eyes the seven-year-old Goten looked around for his clothes. But when he found them they were all folded up nicely on top of a stool, looking confused he turned his body around so that he sat at the left edge of the bed itself and grabbed his boots, which sat underneath the stool. Strangely the boots smelt really fresh. This made Goten smile happily as he found out that the folded clothes had been washed and dried! Quickly he slipped both his feet inside the proper holes of the boots until they felt comfortable and tied up the laces to make sure they stood nice and tightly over his feet. Then he grabbed the first set of clothes which sat on top of the folded up pile, which was his pure orange trousers and placed his left leg downwards threw the left trouser hole and then his right leg into the right leg trouser hole. And pulled it the trouser upwards until it covered his waist, the second of the garments was his navy blue shirt. Grabbing the shirt he placed his head threw the top opening and placed his arms threw the arm sleeves and pulled the shirt downwards. Next his quickly did the same with his orange shirt and then pulled his trousers over them. Finally he grabbed his nicely folded up black belt, placed it around his waist and tied it up on the right side of waist and allowed it dropped freely down his legs so that it was pointing towards the ground. With a sigh Goten smiled happily and soon turned to look towards the table where his food awaited his stomach, grabbing a chair he happily sat in front of the tray of egg fried rice and his glass of milk. Taking hold of his chopsticks Goten sighed happily and dug in as he took mouth full after mouth full of the egg friend rice into his mouth and happily bit into it followed by some gulping of his mouth. The rice lasted only a few minutes and the milk was gone, not even a few pieces of rice or a few drops of milk was left.
Giving out another huge sigh Goten happily rubbed his belly with glee. He always felt good inside after a good decent meal and since he had Saiyan blood running in his veins it was no surprise! Soon he jumped down from his seat and headed over towards the door of his room and opened it outwards. There he stepped out onto a walkway and closed the door behind him; he headed eastwards towards the exit of the shrine and saw his new mentor Kami gazing out into the distance. His blue cape gently swayed with the wind, Goten walked over towards him. There he placed both of his feet together, the palm of his hands together and bowed in respect to Kami while saying “ Good morning mister Kami”. The guardian turned around and saw his young pupil bowing in respect, the old but wise Kami smiled and nodded to Goten while saying, “ Good morning Goten it is a fine day. How did you sleep?” putting a smirk on his face Goten happily replied “ Like a rock mister Kami and thanks for the breakfast it was great!” he said rubbing his stomach. With a gentle nod Kami simply smiled as he looked down onto the young Goten, he looked into the youngsters eyes and said “I am glad you like it so. Shall we begin your training?” Goten immediately nodded and replied “Yes please!” Kami nodded back and urged Goten to follow him towards the centre of the platform while saying, “So be it Goten! please follow me”. Goten followed his teacher towards the centre and stood still while Kami stood before him, just behind Kami the assistant watched from a distance with a loving smile. Standing with his walking stick in his right hand he soon spoke in a really serious manner “Goten for today’s training we shall start with a little game”. Goten’s eyes moved with excitement as he loved games and quickly said to Kami with an excited look on his face “Game! What kind of Game?” Kami continued his smile and said, “I believe it’s called a game of tag. Just like you did with Korin at each morning Goten but this time instead of catching me you must simply touch me, so do your best”. It sounded simple enough to Goten but Kami was a Namekian and had no idea how fast Kami could be despite his old age, Goten simply replied “OH!” And soon stood to one side and stood ready into an attack position.
Kami stood still as he watched Goten standing ready to pounce just like a lioness lying still within the undergrowth until the time was ready to catch her prey. The old namekian soon moved a finger on purpose, which signalled Goten to start the chase, Goten dashed forwards but Kami dashed backwards using his energy and agility. Pretty soon both mentor and student were moving everywhere across the platform as Goten did his best to literally touch Kami but to his surprise the old one was much faster then he expected. But he simply gritted his teeth and moved with all the speed he had to try and match Kami’s at times he would just miss and in other time he would skid across the surface and dash back to the chase. This kept on for just over an hour and soon the two stood opposite of each other Kami stood unfazed by the chase while Goten breathed in and out in a slow like motion, Kami quietly watched as Goten stood tall but was breathing and out. He admired Goten’s determination and soon replied to the seven year old boy “You are faster then I thought Goten we shall try again tomorrow. Please take a moment to collect yourself and then when you are ready please do five thousand push ups but with one finger”. Goten was completely surprised by Kami’s speed but he did remember Korin saying that his new teacher was much stronger then he was, still he felt happy and was more then happy to begin some one finger push ups. As soon as he rested enough he once again got down on all fours and stretched out his legs out behind him and his arms in front of him until his body was above the ground. This time he pulled his left arm away and placed it behind his back, then slowly he pulled his fingers away from the ground until only one single finger stood on the ground and held Goten’s body weight but it gained constant pressure on that one finger.
It was another challenge to overcome. He could easily do one finger push ups but doing five thousand push ups would be a different story, holding himself up in steady position he pushed downwards onto the finger and then upwards again. Goten soon realised that it felt easy to start the push-ups but then again he had only started and only another four thousand nine hundred and ninety nine to go! Using his voice like a calculator he said “ Here goes! One, Two”. He said as he pushed his body up and down using only one finger, his mentor Kami watched him like a hawk as his young student began his training exercises with some one-finger push-ups. A few hours passed on Kami’s lookout and the pure hearted Goten watched his finger constantly his face began to build up sweat as it slowly dripped down near the place where his hands once stood. But he soon felt the pressure gradually building on his finger as he drew near the two thousand mark. Despite the constant dripping of sweat, which fell to the floor, he continued onwards with a burning desire to accomplish the five thousand mark and make Kami proud. But Kami was already proud of him as he watched Goten struggle slightly but he was determined to never let his mom be kidnapped or be hurt, in order to that he had to be a lot stronger and be a great warrior like his brother and father. Seeing the pictures of his mother and family inside his mind Goten again gritted his teeth and moved onwards completely ignoring his painful finger and moved on in sure determination to achieve his goal, another few hours later Goten was near the finishing line.
A small puddle of sweat sat beneath his face as more tears of sweat removed themselves from his face. He grunted in pain as his finger began to twitch and throb, but he continued onwards and said “Ngh! Four thousand Nine hundred a…and ninety-nine…. Argh! F…. Five thousand! Uh!”. He soon went threw the white flag of the finishing line and fell to he ground; luckily he landed to the right of the puddle of sweat and breathed in and out in exhaustion. Kami soon marched over towards the exhausted Goten and said in a gentle tone “Well done Goten. Rest now”. He said as he stood over him like a giant mountain peering down upon the world of men, Goten breathed in and then out as he felt his finger throbbing like a beating heart. But still he had done it and had once again reached a number of five thousand in training stretches, as he breathed in and out Goten slowly clenched his hands and slowly tried to move. He gritted his teeth as he slowly picked himself up and stood before Kami who was impressed by Goten’s durability, but he soon said to Goten “You must be hungry Goten come let us eat”. He said happily to Goten who slowly said “Yeah!”. And soon he slowly walked with Kami back towards his room, as Goten opened his room he found that his table was once again filled with delicious foods from meatballs to chicken and to meat buns and rice. Kami closed the door while Goten walked over towards the table but he first headed to the bathroom and rinsed his face with water to wash away the sweat and cleaned it with a towel. Then he headed back towards his table and sat on his stool where a pair of chopsticks sat in front of his position on the table. Taking the chopsticks he ate to his hearts content and began munching away at the rice and occasionally grabbing the odd meatball of two, Kami himself wasn't really that hungry but he happily watched as Goten began to eat his way threw the food with complete easy and happiness!
Minutes passed and Goten finished the last gulp and washed his throat down with some more milk. Then he placed he glass back on the table and sighed happily while saying, “ That was so awesome! Thanks mister Kami!”. The guardian of the Earth smiled and nodded as he saw the table was completely empty and Goten who happily rubbed his belly as he enjoyed the warm fuzzy feeling, he soon looked back towards Goten and said “You certainly eat just like Goku! Heh but come when you are ready met me back outside and we shall continue your training”. Goten simply nodded and watched as Kami slowly headed towards Goten’s bedroom door and opened it with his available hand, Kami soon walked northwards and headed back towards the entrance and exit to the shrine. It didn’t take long for Goten to join him as he too walked outside, closed the door behind him and headed towards the direction where Kami went. Upon exiting the shrine Goten wondered over towards his mentor and stood just in front of him as he awaited further instructions. Kami slowly nodded his head and spoke downward towards Goten “Very well Goten let us proceed for your days training. Now we shall focus more on your martial arts. I would like for you to kick and punch the air for about a thousand each”. Goten immediately said, “Ok!” He slowly walked towards the centre of the platform, and got into an attack position by standing to one side, feet apart and his fists out in front of him. Then shouting out to power more attack power he pushed forwards his left hand and clenched fist towards the air in front of him, this time he increased his agility until his arm was moving as though there were many arms pushing forwards with a clenched fist.
Kami watched on as Goten continuously punched the air as fast as he could go, this time he only counted inside his young mind for every punch he made. It was a lot easier to do something like this then doing push-ups and sits ups, but he didn’t mind one bit as long as Kami was there to help him be stronger. About an hour later Goten soon switched arms and moved onto his left arm and once again punched the very air at high speeds in a rhythm, you could say it was abit like boxing but in a Saiyan style like way. But soon Goten was making a speedy progress towards the thousand mark, another hour later and he soon pushed his left leg upwards and kicked as hard as he could. And once again he was moving as fast as his legs could kick and headed towards the assigned mark. Two hours passed and Goten stood before Kami with sweat pouring down his face and his arms and legs felt abit achy, Kami nodded in approval towards Goten and said, “ Well done Goten! let us move on in your training. Now do you see the entire area Goten? I want you to run across the platform as fast as you can. There is no limit of laps but if you feel that you must stop to rest then please do so straight away!”. Goten happily nodded, running had always been his favourite exercise. Walking towards the entrance to the shrine he stood towards the east of the doorway and stood ready, then he ran forwards with his arms open outwards as though he was pretending to be an aeroplane. But by holding out your arms it increases the speeds and soon his feet was picking up speed and he was running all around the circle platform as fast as his legs and body would allow him to. He ran just near the edge of the circle so that he was running the full shape of the circle platform. The guardian of the Earth remained in the middle of the platform and gazed back into the distance of the lookout, as Goten ran a smirk crept up on his face as he enjoyed every second of it.
After hours of running Goten still carried on but not even he could stop the pain that was creeping up on his legs like a spider. He breathed in and out in a fast motion as he did his best to keep up the running speed. Kami quickly turned his attention to Goten as he gritted his teeth and pushed onwards but his legs started to hurt and soon he once again fulfilled his promise to his mother by not over doing things. And using the last of his leg strength he ran over towards Kami and then fell to both knees by placing his hands out in front of him and breathed in and out, again in a fast motion. Kami knelt down and placed his green hand on Goten’s back and said “Rest now Goten you deserve it” He said while gently he patted Goten’s back three times and slowly he stood up and stepped back a little to give Goten more room to recover. Drops and drops of sweat threw themselves down from Goten’s forehead and face as it slowly dropped to the floor in front of him, slowly he breathed in and out and soon he looked upwards towards Kami and slowly picked himself up. But he barely stood up right as his legs really felt like jelly with a sigh Kami said to Goten “I think that will be all for today Goten we don’t want you to push yourself. Come with me I believe dinner is served”. Slowly he walked towards the direction of Goten’s room, as for Goten himself well lets just say when it comes to having food nothing could stop him apart from some sore legs and aching arms! He moved very softly and slowly limped to follow Kami, it took him several minutes to reach his bedroom but as he arrived there once again the table was littered with glorious food and drink. Goten limped over to his chair and sat on it to look at the variety of foods like meat buns, tofu with sauce, spaghetti and finally egg rolls. Wasting little time he grabbed the chopsticks was slurping away at the spaghetti taking in big mouth full after big mouth full, once there slid down his throat he then moved onto the tofu, poured the sauce over it and dug in. Moving onwards he ate all the meat buns and finally ended with an empty bowel which had the egg rolls.
With the entire table empty Goten sighed and leaned back in his chair while rubbing his chest “ That hit the spot thanks again mister Kami!”. The old namekian nodded and soon walked over to Goten and inspected the table as everyone on it had been devoured by Goten except for the chopsticks, plates and bowls of course, he soon replied “Your quite welcome Goten. I sense that night has reached us once more. Rest well for tonight Goten we shall continue our training tomorrow, may you dreams be peaceful Goten”. He said and he soon walked over towards the bedroom door, but Goten quickly jumped down from his chair, and again he placed both of his legs together, the palms of his hands together and bowed his head in respect to his mentor “Good night mister Kami!”. And he soon headed towards the bathroom area of his bedroom; Kami simply smiled and closed the bedroom door behind him to give Goten some privacy. Turning on the hot tap which filled the bath with pure clean and sparkly water Goten untied his black belt from around his waist and removed his clothing until he was naked once again. He climbed into the bath and grabbed a few of his toys to play with while his body was being soaked and massaged by the gentle heat of the bath to soothe any aches and pain. Goten played submarines and battle ships with his toys and happily enjoyed every minute, though he was training with Kami he loved his toys as well as his training. Half an hour later Goten slowly climbed out of the bathtub and grabbed a nearby towel to dry himself down until the tears of water stopping dripping. Then he placed his toys near the bath and reached into his drawer to grab his pyjama top and trousers, he quickly slid them on and then grabbed his training clothes. Again he placed them on the stool just near his king sized mattress and placed his boots underneath the stool, the two shirts on top of the stool first followed by the orange trousers and finally the black belt which laid on top of the orange trousers.
With a happy smirk he crawled up onto the bed and gently laid his head onto the pillow, which gently nested his head into its softness. As he looked up into the dome shaped roof he soon began to think about his mom back down on the ground, it had been a while since he last saw his mom and wondered if she was ok? Still he missed his mom very much but if anything was to happen to Chi-Chi then he’d be alone and with his brother and father out there somewhere he had to face life on his own except for his big grandfather Ox King. If anything did happen to him that he’d had to go and stay with Ox King. A sigh crept out of his mouth and soon he quietly said “Mom…”. And he soon lay on left side of the king size bed and placed his legs and upper body underneath the bed linen to feel its cosy warmth and slowly his eyes closed by themselves and he drifted off to sleepy land. As he did so Kami stood just outside Goten’s bedroom and quietly said to himself “Rest well Goten”. And he soon marched off to continue his constant watch over the people he loved so much.
Meanwhile as morning slowly dawned and just to the west was a large section of the shrine. And behind a closed bronze wooden door was a large square room filled with many popular and rare valuables such as vases, paintings and toys? Yes toys as this very giant of a room happened to be Goten’s newest room to rest and sleep in during his training with Kami. The bed that he slept was twice as big for his size, but it didn’t matter as long as he could get some well-deserved sleep and some food as well, and food was on the agenda for the new day! Slowly Goten’s bedroom door opened and Kami’s assistant gently appeared holding a small tray, which was filled with a bowl of egg fried rice and a glass of freshly made milk. He placed the tray onto the table that stood just north of the bedroom; very gently he headed back towards the door and closed it as quietly as he could, so that Goten wasn’t disturbed. The half Saiyan half-pint was gently asleep within the confines of the warm linen of the king size bed, his head was rested on the right side, but his nose suddenly twitched at the smell of breakfast. And like an alarm clock ringing inside his mind Goten slowly opened his eyes until his vision was showing him the right hand side of the white coloured wall. Realising where he was Goten slowly moved bed linen and removed his legs from underneath its warmth, until his legs sat on top of the bed itself. Slowly he raised his head away from the softness of the pillow and sat up with a tired look in his eyes and face. Then he stretched out his arms and legs while letting loose a giant yawn forcing him to open his mouth and close again after the yawn passed.
Rubbing his eyes the seven-year-old Goten looked around for his clothes. But when he found them they were all folded up nicely on top of a stool, looking confused he turned his body around so that he sat at the left edge of the bed itself and grabbed his boots, which sat underneath the stool. Strangely the boots smelt really fresh. This made Goten smile happily as he found out that the folded clothes had been washed and dried! Quickly he slipped both his feet inside the proper holes of the boots until they felt comfortable and tied up the laces to make sure they stood nice and tightly over his feet. Then he grabbed the first set of clothes which sat on top of the folded up pile, which was his pure orange trousers and placed his left leg downwards threw the left trouser hole and then his right leg into the right leg trouser hole. And pulled it the trouser upwards until it covered his waist, the second of the garments was his navy blue shirt. Grabbing the shirt he placed his head threw the top opening and placed his arms threw the arm sleeves and pulled the shirt downwards. Next his quickly did the same with his orange shirt and then pulled his trousers over them. Finally he grabbed his nicely folded up black belt, placed it around his waist and tied it up on the right side of waist and allowed it dropped freely down his legs so that it was pointing towards the ground. With a sigh Goten smiled happily and soon turned to look towards the table where his food awaited his stomach, grabbing a chair he happily sat in front of the tray of egg fried rice and his glass of milk.

The rice lasted only a few minutes and the milk was gone, not even a few pieces of rice or a few drops of milk was left.

How did you sleep?” putting a smirk on his face Goten happily replied “ Like a rock mister Kami and thanks for the breakfast it was great!” he said rubbing his stomach. With a gentle nod Kami simply smiled as he looked down onto the young Goten, he looked into the youngsters eyes and said “I am glad you like it so. Shall we begin your training?” Goten immediately nodded and replied “Yes please!” Kami nodded back and urged Goten to follow him towards the centre of the platform while saying, “So be it Goten! please follow me”. Goten followed his teacher towards the centre and stood still while Kami stood before him, just behind Kami the assistant watched from a distance with a loving smile. Standing with his walking stick in his right hand he soon spoke in a really serious manner “Goten for today’s training we shall start with a little game”. Goten’s eyes moved with excitement as he loved games and quickly said to Kami with an excited look on his face “Game!

It sounded simple enough to Goten but Kami was a Namekian and had no idea how fast Kami could be despite his old age, Goten simply replied “OH!” And soon stood to one side and stood ready into an attack position.
Kami stood still as he watched Goten standing ready to pounce just like a lioness lying still within the undergrowth until the time was ready to catch her prey. The old namekian soon moved a finger on purpose, which signalled Goten to start the chase, Goten dashed forwards but Kami dashed backwards using his energy and agility. Pretty soon both mentor and student were moving everywhere across the platform as Goten did his best to literally touch Kami but to his surprise the old one was much faster then he expected.

Kami soon marched over towards the exhausted Goten and said in a gentle tone “Well done Goten. Rest now”. He said as he stood over him like a giant mountain peering down upon the world of men, Goten breathed in and then out as he felt his finger throbbing like a beating heart. But still he had done it and had once again reached a number of five thousand in training stretches, as he breathed in and out Goten slowly clenched his hands and slowly tried to move. He gritted his teeth as he slowly picked himself up and stood before Kami who was impressed by Goten’s durability, but he soon said to Goten “You must be hungry Goten come let us eat”. He said happily to Goten who slowly said “Yeah!”. And soon he slowly walked with Kami back towards his room, as Goten opened his room he found that his table was once again filled with delicious foods from meatballs to chicken and to meat buns and rice. Kami closed the door while Goten walked over towards the table but he first headed to the bathroom and rinsed his face with water to wash away the sweat and cleaned it with a towel.

Minutes passed and Goten finished the last gulp and washed his throat down with some more milk. Then he placed he glass back on the table and sighed happily while saying, “ That was so awesome! Thanks mister Kami!”. The guardian of the Earth smiled and nodded as he saw the table was completely empty and Goten who happily rubbed his belly as he enjoyed the warm fuzzy feeling, he soon looked back towards Goten and said “You certainly eat just like Goku! Heh but come when you are ready met me back outside and we shall continue your training”. Goten simply nodded and watched as Kami slowly headed towards Goten’s bedroom door and opened it with his available hand, Kami soon walked northwards and headed back towards the entrance and exit to the shrine.

After hours of running Goten still carried on but not even he could stop the pain that was creeping up on his legs like a spider. He breathed in and out in a fast motion as he did his best to keep up the running speed. Kami quickly turned his attention to Goten as he gritted his teeth and pushed onwards but his legs started to hurt and soon he once again fulfilled his promise to his mother by not over doing things. And using the last of his leg strength he ran over towards Kami and then fell to both knees by placing his hands out in front of him and breathed in and out, again in a fast motion. Kami knelt down and placed his green hand on Goten’s back and said “Rest now Goten you deserve it” He said while gently he patted Goten’s back three times and slowly he stood up and stepped back a little to give Goten more room to recover. Drops and drops of sweat threw themselves down from Goten’s forehead and face as it slowly dropped to the floor in front of him, slowly he breathed in and out and soon he looked upwards towards Kami and slowly picked himself up. But he barely stood up right as his legs really felt like jelly with a sigh Kami said to Goten “I think that will be all for today Goten we don’t want you to push yourself. Come with me I believe dinner is served”. Slowly he walked towards the direction of Goten’s room, as for Goten himself well lets just say when it comes to having food nothing could stop him apart from some sore legs and aching arms! He moved very softly and slowly limped to follow Kami, it took him several minutes to reach his bedroom but as he arrived there once again the table was littered with glorious food and drink. Goten limped over to his chair and sat on it to look at the variety of foods like meat buns, tofu with sauce, spaghetti and finally egg rolls. Wasting little time he grabbed the chopsticks was slurping away at the spaghetti taking in big mouth full after big mouth full, once there slid down his throat he then moved onto the tofu, poured the sauce over it and dug in. Moving onwards he ate all the meat buns and finally ended with an empty bowel which had the egg rolls.
With the entire table empty Goten sighed and leaned back in his chair while rubbing his chest “ That hit the spot thanks again mister Kami!”. The old namekian nodded and soon walked over to Goten and inspected the table as everyone on it had been devoured by Goten except for the chopsticks, plates and bowls of course, he soon replied “Your quite welcome Goten. I sense that night has reached us once more. Rest well for tonight Goten we shall continue our training tomorrow, may you dreams be peaceful Goten”. He said and he soon walked over towards the bedroom door, but Goten quickly jumped down from his chair, and again he placed both of his legs together, the palms of his hands together and bowed his head in respect to his mentor “Good night mister Kami!”. And he soon headed towards the bathroom area of his bedroom; Kami simply smiled and closed the bedroom door behind him to give Goten some privacy. Turning on the hot tap which filled the bath with pure clean and sparkly water Goten untied his black belt from around his waist and removed his clothing until he was naked once again. He climbed into the bath and grabbed a few of his toys to play with while his body was being soaked and massaged by the gentle heat of the bath to soothe any aches and pain. Goten played submarines and battle ships with his toys and happily enjoyed every minute, though he was training with Kami he loved his toys as well as his training. Half an hour later Goten slowly climbed out of the bathtub and grabbed a nearby towel to dry himself down until the tears of water stopping dripping. Then he placed his toys near the bath and reached into his drawer to grab his pyjama top and trousers, he quickly slid them on and then grabbed his training clothes. Again he placed them on the stool just near his king sized mattress and placed his boots underneath the stool, the two shirts on top of the stool first followed by the orange trousers and finally the black belt which laid on top of the orange trousers.
With a happy smirk he crawled up onto the bed and gently laid his head onto the pillow, which gently nested his head into its softness. As he looked up into the dome shaped roof he soon began to think about his mom back down on the ground, it had been a while since he last saw his mom and wondered if she was ok? Still he missed his mom very much but if anything was to happen to Chi-Chi then he’d be alone and with his brother and father out there somewhere he had to face life on his own except for his big grandfather Ox King. If anything did happen to him that he’d had to go and stay with Ox King. A sigh crept out of his mouth and soon he quietly said “Mom…”. And he soon lay on left side of the king size bed and placed his legs and upper body underneath the bed linen to feel its cosy warmth and slowly his eyes closed by themselves and he drifted off to sleepy land. As he did so Kami stood just outside Goten’s bedroom and quietly said to himself “Rest well Goten”. And he soon marched off to continue his constant watch over the people he loved so much.
