Not An Exact Copy [Gohan x OC]

Ch. 12

A gentle breeze came through the open balcony, as well as the harsh lights from the sun. The young girl groaned as she pulled her blankets above her head, blocking herself from what's been disturbing her sleep.

Nachi exhaled softly as she was drifting back to slumber, before abruptly sitting up in her bed with a wide-eyed expression.

Yanking the blanket off her body, she quickly ran into her closet and changed from her pajamas into an oversized sweatshirt with spandex leggings. She then tugged on her boots and dashed out the closet and out of her room to the one across from hers.

The air hissed as the door slid open and she frantically looked around, not spotting the usual figure who laid there throughout the mornings before they'd get up and hunt the kitchen for breakfast.

She stared at the unslept bed in dismay before scouting the closet. His clothes were still there, atleast the normal Earth ones. His armor and usual clothing were gone, making her suck in a sharp breath.

Walking out of the closet, she then checked the bathroom. She turned the knob, finding it unlocked and she stepped in, seeing it hasn't been used either. He'd always take a shower before venturing down to the kitchen. There was no wet toothbrush, messy toothpaste on the sink counter from how aggressive he brushed his canines, and there was no fog on the mirrors, meaning the shower hadn't been used.

She walked out of the bathroom and exhaled shakily as not even his balcony door was open.

Perhaps he was in the gravity room already?

With that enthusiastic thought, she ran out of his room and down the stairs.

Arriving at the gravity room, to her dismay, she didn't see the red lights glowing from the inside.

She backed up against the wall, clutching her head and sliding down until her bottom the ground. She tucked her knees against her chest, thumping her forehead against her knees.

"It wasn't a dream..." She mumbled to herself, her voice cracked and her eyes shining with tears that refused to fall. "H-He did leave... He l-left me with nothing!"

She gritted her teeth together harshly, shutting her eyes and clutching her hair in anger. "Why would he leave me here?! H-How dare he leave me with these vile people?! I only lived here for his sake! I'd follow him to the end of the universe... H-He's the only one I have left and yet, he chose to abandon me!" She screeched, the tears already falling down her cheeks.

"W-Why daddy... Was it because I was holding you back?" She muttered to herself. "Was I becoming a burden to your success?... I don't understand..."

She sniffled, roughly dragging her arm across her face before standing up. "Am I cursed?" She whispered, slowly dragging her feet to the entrance of the Capsule Corps. "Why does everyone I love abandon me...?"

As she shuffled to the entrance, a familiar blonde-haired cheery woman happened to pass by as she happily hummed to herself, oblivious to the tension in the girl's body. "Oh, hiya Nachi! My, you look like you've gotten no sleep!"

"..."

"Oh well, I'm sure you'll be better by later! Anyways, have you heard? My Bulma is having a baby of her own! Oh~ Aren't you excited to be a big sister?" She chirped.

Nachi stiffened at the question. "I am not related to that spawn she's carrying."

"Oh don't be silly! Your daddy is the daddy of my Bulma's baby! I would've thought she told you yesterday," she pondered with a finger to her lips.

Nachi's breathing became ragged as she tried to rein her temper. She really didn't want to explode on the blonde woman, not after everything she's done for her and her father. It's not Panchy's fault she was unaware of the argument that occurred yesterday, and of course it's not her fault that Vegeta decided to make his appearance a mystery at a wrong time.
