**6/21/2015: Just going through and editing. Pardon the mistakes I've missed.**
*Hello readers! Here is another story! Yay!
I just want to go ahead and tell you that this is a completely different from any of my other stories I have put on fanfic.
It is rated M because later it will have adult content *blushes at the thought*
But anyways, just give this chapter a chance. I already have chapter 2 in the making and will have it up soon.
I hope you enjoy this. I'm kind of nervous to see what you all think about it.
In the Stables
Chapter 1:
The rooster crowed right outside Chichi's window, alerting her that it was time to get up and start the day. It screeched its annoying little clucks, flapping its wings and strutting around just to get on Chichi's nerves. She hated that rooster and threatened to make it breakfast if it didn't discontinue its announcement of morning right outside her opened window. But every day it would find its way outside of Chichi's bedroom, forcing her to get up and throw her alarm clock at the red rooster and shouting, "Shut up you stupid rooster!" then slamming her window shut. It was a never ending battle, a battle she could not win unless she rung its little neck!
Chichi jumped into her tight black riding pants and slipped a pink tank top over her white under shirt. She braided her long black hair and flipped it over her shoulder, ready for another day out in the stables with her fat, hairy horse friends that waited for her in the barn. One of her mares had been expecting its baby through out the night and she couldn't wait to see if the foal had arrived yet.
Chichi ran down stairs and grabbed a muffin off the kitchen table, rushing over to give her large dad a kiss on the cheek.
"Good morning Chichi." Her father said to her just before she ran out the door.
"Morning Dad!" Chichi hollered back and stuffed part of the muffin into her mouth. It was a bright beautiful day on Dragon Z horse farms. Everyone and everything beginning the day with smiles on their faces. The gravel crunched under Chichi's black knee high riding boots as she neared the bright orange barn. Why her father ever wanted to paint it that color was beyond her, it was sticking out like a sore thumb across the green fields.
The barn its self could be turned into a mansion and lived in. It had at least fifty stalls running the length of the barn way on each side and a complete up stairs for a giant hay loft. It even had a shower and a bathroom near the tack and saddle room. The barn was quiet since it was early in the morning. None of the workers had came around to begin their daily chores of feeding and exercising the horses that were cooped up during the night.
Chichi walked calmly into the barn, heading to the stall that one of her mares had been placed during the evening. The horse was ready to drop the foal at any time, but seemed to hold out until everyone dropped from exhaustion. She peeked over the gate into the darkened stall, trying to see if there was more than one inhibitor inside. When she couldn't see any movement, Chichi climbed over the locked gate and hoped easily into the stall to avoid spooking the mare. After her eyes adjusted, her horse appeared in the corner of the stall, looking down at a small fuzzy black foal in the hay. Chichi smiled in delight when seeing the foal alive and well, trying to stand from the intrusion of her entrance.
"Hi there little one." Chichi cooed to the foal, and not noticing the mother horse pinning her ears back in anger. The mare bared her teeth and raced over to Chichi, startling her from the sudden movement the large black horse made. She screamed when she saw a hoof come flying in her direction and fell against the wall of the stall, to paralyzed to jump out. "Duchess! What's wrong girl?" Chichi whimpered when realizing her horse wasn't particularly happy with her presence. Duchess raked her hoof across the hay flooring, snorting down at Chichi to warn her not to move. Chichi was completely cornered, and if she did move, she was afraid the big horse would crush her right into the ground. "It's okay Duchess…" Chichi calmly tried to say to the horse, but her voice shook with fear. Her heart raced in her chest and she felt like passing out from the lack of air she was breathing.
Chichi tried to stand but Duchess held her ground, snorting with displeasure and protecting her new baby from Chichi's sight. It wasn't going to be a good morning after all. Being killed first thing by her own horse and it wasn't even 7 am yet. Chichi let out a cry when Duchess pawed the ground right next to her feet, watching as her life was beginning to pass before her eyes. She could just imagine the headlines in the paper saying:
Seventeen year old Chichi dies from being attacked by her own horse.
It would be embarrassing, let alone pitiful. She was considered one of the best horse handlers on the farm besides her dad and a few trainers. Chichi was seventeen and already a horse expert. She always had the dream of becoming a horse vet and live her entire life around the animals she loved so dear. Now she was about to be killed by her horse she had since she was ten. It wasn't fair! She just had to find someway to escape without Duchess going crazy from just her flinching.
"Duchess…" Chichi nervously spoke up to horse. "If you let me live, I'll give you all the grain that you can eat." But her please just made Duchess angry and charge Chichi's helpless body on the ground. Chichi closed her eyes tight and prepared for the worst. She didn't realize she was grabbed and pulled out of the stall until she opened her eyes to find Duchess pinning her ears back over the gate she was just cornered up against.
I'm alive? Chichi asked herself and looked down at her trembling legs. Something was behind her holding her up and it was warm and hard. When Chichi stumbled away she turned quickly to find a pair of black piercing eyes angrily looking down on her. His hair was jet black and spiked in different directions. Her eyes couldn't leave his at the moment to scan the rest of the giant body of his, remembering the feel of it against her back. He was complete muscle goodness from what she could tell, and deathly handsome on top of that.
"Tha-thank you." Chichi stuttered up to him.
"Stupid girl." He answered as he started to walk towards a hay bale on the ground near the stall he was carrying just before he grabbed Chichi out of the horses charge. His brown leather gloves tore away the baler twine with ease and took half of the hay from the bale then tossing it over into Duchess's stall. The mares ears popped up and quickly went over to the tasty hay the mysterious man had thrown in.
Chichi's mind just registered what he had said to her, and it made her glow with a bright red color to her cheeks.
Stupid girl? Who does he think he is calling me a stupid girl! Chichi ranted to herself, feeling her blood pressure rise even higher as she got worked up over his name calling.
"Uh, I said thank you. That's when your suppose to say you're welcome or no problem-"
"You're welcome. I just saved your ass from being trampled. Happy now?" He grunted and went on down the line with another hay bale to feed the other horses.
Chichi was in shock! How did he have the right to talk to her like that. Maybe he didn't know that she was the owners daughter, his boss!
"How dare you talk to me like that!" Chichi angrily yelled. She was fuming, and it was obvious to the mystery man who just rolled his eyes as he continued passing out hay to the horses.
"You should know better not to disturb a new mother and her foal. You signed your death certificate when you went in there. It's your own stupidity that will either get you hurt or killed." The blacked haired man said as he turned to her to see the look of anger written all over her face.
"What's your name?"
The man stood in front of Chichi and looked down on her. He was frustrated from what she could tell. "Goku." He answered in a low tone and walked on out of the barn past her.
Chichi ran back to the house, hoping her dad was still inside but came to find him gone. She just had to find him to ask about the strange man named Goku. Thinking of where her father could be, Chichi raced back out of the house and went towards one of the many riding arenas that wasn't far from the barn. She saw her father leaning against the gate as he watched a group of riders riding their horses around the circular arena.
"Dad!" Chichi called to him as she neared him. He turned and smiled brightly at his young daughter while she tried to catch her breath.
"Hey Chichi. I thought you would be riding first thing this morning." Her father said down to her.
"Dad, who is that guy Goku?" She asked while she panted. Her face beat red from anger and running.
"Goku? Oh he's one of the trainers I just hired about a week ago."
"Well you need to have a little chat with him about his attitude!"
"Why? What happened?"
"He…he uh. Well first he saved me from Duchess, then he called me a stupid girl. I don't appreciate being talked to like that."
"Now Chichi, he's the best trainer I have! Besides, he was up all night with Duchess while everyone else went to bed. No wonder he had an attitude honey."
"Erg." Chichi groaned and crossed her arms over her chest.
"You just stay out of his way. He's not a people person when it comes to training."
Chichi just turned and left. She was so mad that her father didn't do anything about his name calling! But then Chichi realized something. Goku was right. She was a stupid girl for going in that stall with Duchess. Chichi was just too excited and didn't stop to think about the consequences of getting to close to a new mothers foal. It was Duchess's first baby, and Chichi should have known better than to interrupt the bonding process with the mother and foal, especially when she didn't know how Duchess would react. Some of the older mares didn't care if you got close to their new babies, but most of the first time mothers protected their young ones just as Duchess did.
But it didn't matter to Chichi at the moment. It was beside the point. He still called her a stupid girl and he didn't even say sorry! Tired or not, that wasn't the polite way to speak to someone on Dragon Z farms, especially to the owners daughter.
While thinking how she wanted to give that Goku guy a piece of her mind, she grabbed two lead ropes and halters from the tack room in the barn. Chichi went to a near by pasture and whistled loudly. She watched as two horses, one white with speckles and the other brown with white patches on its side came galloping up from the pasture. They happily greeted her with a nudge on her arm, sniffing her to see if she had brought them anything. The white horse nipped her arm, causing Chichi to jump back and laugh.
"Kelty!" Chichi giggled as the white mare snorted when finding no treats, and getting a little horse snot on her arm. The brown horse whinnied and bucked happily around in the field when Chichi brought the lead ropes and halters off of her shoulder. They knew what that meant! GRAIN! Chichi could almost hear them say "oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!" if she could speak horse that is, but their happy face expressions shown clearly to her that they were willing to be taken to the barn.
Chichi put the halters over the horses head and snapped the leather lead ropes onto the silver buckle under their chins. She put a lead rope in each hand and took the horses through the opened gate, one on each side of her as she walked. They calmly walked into the barn, immediately going to their stalls that they knew very well. Chichi gathered a couple of feeding dishes from the grain room and placed a cup into each black dish. She could already hear the two horses scraping their hooves on the ground, their mouths drooling from the sight of the dishes. Chichi pushed the feeding dishes under the stall gates and watched as the two horse began to devour every piece of grain.
It was getting close to 8 am, and that meant it was almost time to saddle the horses up for their ride. Her friend Bulma would be there soon for her riding session, and she couldn't wait to discuss her frustrations with her blue haired friend.
Right on time, a black limo pulled up outside the barn and out stepped a blue haired teen talking on her cell phone. She seemed a little frustrated while talking to the other person on the other end. Chichi caught the last bit of the conversation.
"I don't care Vegeta. You will pick me up today!" Bulma ranted on the phone. "Don't talk to me like that." Chichi giggled at her friend when she placed a hand on her hip and sighed heavily into the cell phone. "Whatever. I don't have time for this. I'll see ya when I see ya." Bulma slapped the flap down to her cell and threw it into the back seat of the limo, and then grabbed a blue riding helmet out of the floor board. From what Chichi could tell, Bulma and her boyfriend Vegeta were back at it again. They couldn't go for a day without some type of argument, but they always seemed to be back together the next day. Chichi was sure glad that she didn't have a boyfriend to worry about the troubles of a relationship.
"Hi Bulma," Chichi grinned as her friend neared her. Bulma was ready for her riding session. She wore her tight black riding pants and knee high riding boots with a light blue tee shirt that said Bulma on the front. Her shoulder length hair was put back into a pony tail at the base of her neck, and Bulma smashed the helmet down onto her head in anger.
"Can you believe men? Such asses!" Bulma huffed and placed her hands on her hips.
"I know all about that." Chichi giggled and threw a lead rope over to Bulma.
"Hey Chichi. You ready to ride today?"
"When have I never been ready?"
Chichi and Bulma saddled up the two horses Chichi brought up and went out to one of the empty riding arenas. There was five total arenas near the barn and two of them already had people exercising some of the horses. Chichi checked her saddle and mounted up into the western saddle, holding onto the horn until she got her balance. She watched as Bulma mounted with grace and collected the reins and begin to walk the brown horse around the large riding arena. Chichi walked Kelty right beside Bulma as they warmed up their horses, talking to her about her occurrence with Duchess and the new guy Goku.
"So your dad isn't going to even say anything to him?" Bulma asked after Chichi told her the story.
"He just said to stay away from him. So I guess that's what I'll do."
"You got to be kidding me. He called you a stupid-"
"I know what he called me Bulma, please don't repeat it. If I ever run into that Goku guy again, I swear if he says one thing to me…errrg. I don't know what I'll do."
"I don't know who this Goku is, but if something like that happened to me, I would be telling him where to shove it."
Chichi stopped her horse and looked across the fields to see a galloping horse and rider run around an arena. She focused her eyes on the person who was on top of the horse and growled. Of course it was him.
"Who's that?" Bulma asked when she noticed Chichi staring off into the distance.
"That would be Mr. Ass himself."
"Really? Oh my…That guy?"
"Yep." Chichi replied and gripped the reins tighter in her fists.
"Hey, he isn't so bad looking."
"Bulma!" Chichi glared over to her friend on her horse. "That's Goku. The one guy I don't like remember. Don't let his looks fool you."
"To bad you two got off on the wrong start." Bulma giggled and nudged her horse to walk again. Chichi groaned and followed Bulma with Kelty. If Bulma even thought for one second that Chichi liked Goku's looks or anything about him, she would be dead wrong. Chichi didn't like Goku and never would. She would take her fathers advice and stay far away from him as possible. If she did run into him, Chichi wouldn't let him disrespect her ever again.
*Ok, I just want to ask if this story is worth continuing? Is anyone a bit interested in what I have here so far? I have chapter two started, but I don't want to get so far along and everybody hate it.
Yes Goku is a bit of a grouch at first, but trust me…he will change!
Please review to let me know what you think so far. If I get bad reviews then I will trash it and ask for your forgiveness for writing something no one is interested in. I am really excited about this story. Please don't hold anything back!
