As promised, the Goku/OC story. Ugh I can make them LOVE now, instead of being cold and angry.
I'm so excited! Let's get going. In this story, Goku is twenty, and Kirei is nineteen. Everything but Chichi is in there, but this is NOT a Chichi replacement, as some of you might think. As much as I hate it, I'm leaving Vegeta out of this timeline, mostly because if he's around I wont be able to help myself. ;) the whole Freezy-pop saga doesn't happen either, so there is just peace on Earth, as it should be. Goku continues to train.
I made them a little younger than they should be on purpose, so, no, that's not a mistake.
This won't be a oneshot, mostly because it's hard for me to keep track of so much content all at once. I also need something to keep me occupied for a long period of time, while still having the satisfaction of posting new chapters.
Goku's PoV
After a long training session in the woods by my Gandpa's house, I wipe my head of sweat and go home.
Grandpa died when I was little, and I lived in his house by myself until Bulma happened by me, looking for the Dragon Balls. She offered to give me a place to stay after I finished my training with Kaio-sama, but I declined. I wanted to stay in my Grandpa's old house for the time being, at least until after I built up some wood. After then, I'd build my own house somewhere a little more urban, though I hated the thought.
Stepping in the door and toeing my shoes off, I strip my way to the bathroom, leaving a trail of clothes from the entrance.
Already naked by the time I'm in the bathroom, I twist the knob to the water and clean myself.
Though I rejected Bulmas offer, she insisted she put water in here, and I couldn't say no. Hot showers were my recent favorite.
She's like, twenty-six, and she insisted I was too young to live on my own at twenty. I bit my tongue telling her that I'd managed just fine when I was basically a toddler. I guess it was because I'm not human.
After the Saiyans showed up, and were defeated save for Vegeta, I went back to my little house in the woods, content with my way. Vegeta ran, and we found no trace of him since.
Pondering past events while showering was also a recent favorite, but before I knew it, the cold water ran, and I had to get out. Flaring my energy to dry off, I head to my clean pile of clothes and pull on a relaxed pair of sweatpants and a black wife-beater.
I collaps on my old mattress and think.
What happens now?
After I nearly died fighting those Saiyans, I became a lot stronger. Now there was no motivation to train. I lived alone, but I could always go visit Mater Korin or Kami-sama, or even Bulma.
Slipping into a deep and deserved sleep, I dream.
Training as normal in the woods, out of the corner of my eye I see a flash of red. Ignoring it, I punch the nearest tree.
Another flash.
This time I turn my head, hoping to see what exactly was running about.
Another flash, clearer this time. I see a long flow of brown along with it.
Officially curious, I go to the tree and walk around it, seeing nothing.
Something smashes me on the back of the head and I black out.
I wake up without ceremony, only opening my eyes, not moving anything else.
Weird dream.
Groaning, I stand and move into the small kitchen. On the counter was a hand-written note.
Leaning over it, I read the delicate script.
Son-kun,
I saw you were sleeping and left some food for you in the cooler.
Come see me if you need anything.
~Bulma
I rub my face and move to the fridge, opening it, happy to see that it is filled with food. I smile slightly and make myself a light snack of an entire dinosaur steak. After I'm done I sit on my bed and read until dark.
Feeling restless, I slip on a light coat and go outside into the dark. I fly onto the peak of the closest plateau, an stare at the sky.
There are no cities for about a hundred miles, so all of the colors of the galaxy shown in the sky. A deep purple blob over there, a green one over here, and a reddish pink over the other side. I spend time memorizing the shapes until the rising suns light cast them away.
The tiredness of my eyes forces them to shut, and I fall asleep.
This time it was dreamless.
"Hey, dude. You alive?" A poke at my side. I groan and slowly open my eyes to direct sunlight. I turn my head and see a girl next to me, poking me with a stick.
"Woah! Man, you are crazy sleepin' out here." She sits with her legs crossed and the stick across her lap.
"Where d'ya come from? You gotta home?" An opportunity to speak showed itself.
"Yea.. In the little cottage a few miles away." My voice was husky and deep from sleep.
"Miles? No wonder ya didn't go back." She looks off in every direction.
"It's all wood 'round here." She looks back to me.
"I know. It's toward the east."
She looks toward that direction and after a moment she says, "Oh, I see a lil' clearing. That must be it. Ya need help?"
"No, I'm fine, thank you." I stand. "How did you get up here?"
"Oh, I climbed." She jabs the thumb behind her. "From that side. Whats yer name, stranger?"
"Goku." I brush myself off, and turn toward her. "Yours?"
"Kirei. I guess we're not strangers no more, huh?"
"I guess not." Kirei? That means 'beautiful'. I guess she is sorta cute.
I become aware of her long brown hair, unruly and dirty looking, but very, very long. Her eyes are a sharp almond shape and she has a narrow nose and waist. Her lips are full but dry, and her frame was draped with a loose red dress thing.
"Do you live out here?" I ask, suddenly concerned.
"I guess ya could say that, I don't really live no where, but I like to hang 'round this area."
"Would you mind if I gave you a place to stay?" I give her a hopeful look
"Not at all, friend. It gets a lil' chilly out here at night now."
"Good. Lets go." I manually climb down instead of flying, so I don't scare Kirei off.
Once we reach the bottom of the plateau, I feign fatigue and huff a bit, pointing east.
"This way. You can shower when we get there."
"Alrighty." She uses the stick to walk on.
We travel in silence.
Okay, first chapter done. R+R, suggest ect.
