Hello my readers and reviewers! ;) It's been a while since I've been writing! Well, I have been really busy, especially when you have a new puppy roaming the house. :) School is my top priority, so I can't write anything until I get my schoolwork done. I have been working on this in my free time, and I finally got it done and ready to publish! ^_^ I will be late on updates, so please be patient with me! Don't worry I WILL finish my stories eventually! Well, before I go on talking about my school life and stuff, I'll let you read this new story of mine! :D Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do! :) Oh, and I thank Saiyajin-Love for giving me advice and looking over this chapter for me! :)

A Lost Promise

Prolouge

By: LifeAwakens

"Goku..."

The spiky-haired man turned his attention to the small raven-haired woman beside him. "What is it?"

The bright sun's rays were reflecting in the delicate eyes of the woman sitting near him. Goku studied her features as he got himself comfortable by adjusting his body in the smooth grass. The girl edged closer towards him before a small smile appeared on her delicate pale features. Putting her arms around Goku, she sighed as she buried her face into his chest. She closed her eyes and deeply inhaled, relishing in his rich manly scent.

"Do you promise?" she asked in a hushed voice.

His eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Promise what?"

She wrapped her arms around Goku. "Before I continue that, I have another question to ask you," she continued, and her head rose to look at the young man in front of her. Gazing into his onyx eyes, she secured her arms around his neck, "Do you...do you love me...Goku?"

Before giving an immediate response, he closed his eyes and sighed. His arms then surrounded the young maiden's waist so he could pull her closer to him. Resting his head on top of hers, Goku took in her breathtaking scent and smirked.

"More than anything in this world-more than anything in this universe...you know that," he answered, "Why do you ask?"

She let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "Just making sure," she said and leaned out of his grasp to gaze back up at him. Putting her hands on his cheeks, she saw him blush from the sudden action. She exhaled before her face settled into a solemn one.

Goku put his hands up on top of hers. "What is it? Is there something wrong?" he said with concern.

"Goku-sa, do you promise to protect me?"

His eyes widened at the unexpected question, and his strong hands wrapped around the raven-haired woman's slightly quivering ones.

"Protect you? What is there to protect you from?"

"I may have not of told you this but I am a princess who is desired by all the evil in this world," she began, but got a little hesitant to finish her sentence. She eventually took in a deep breath, regaining composure before continuing in a soft whisper, "I have been searching for the one that will love me truly and protect me from the beings that desire my power, along with my beauty."

"What? A p-p-princess?" Goku stuttered as he was surprised.

She nodded. "Yes, and I have decided that you're the only one that can protect me as well save me from any sinister force that tries to use my powers to destroy or take over the world. You have the strength and courage to do it, I can tell. You are probably the purest man I've ever met," a relaxing smile came across her features, " I'm so glad I've come across you," she stated as put her hands across her heart.

A beautiful pink glow lightly sparkled in her chest. Goku stared at her in shock and amazement before a light gasp escaped his lips.

He looked at her confused as she whispered, "Here," she said, taking Goku's hand in hers. Together, their hands began to emit a light pink color. He envisioned the energy pulsating inside him, growing and spreading like a wildfire. It caused his heart to race as it took him by surprise. And then even after the energy died down, there was this smoldering feeling within his place, so warm and enticing. When she took her hand off of his, she smiled at him and said, "There, it has been done."

Goku turned his hand, and his eyes widened at the sight of a strange red mark on his palm. "What...what is this?"

"It's a mark-and it's supposed to keep us together, through life and death so we'll never be apart," she explained before she showed her marked palm.

"It's also known as a bond, and we can always tell when we're in trouble, or what we're feeling," she explained thoroughly, and watched her lover stare at her with a blank expression. "Do you get it?" she asked with concern.

He studied his hand for a moment with little concern, trying to take in everything that occurred. "Yeah," he nodded his head as he glanced back up at the black-haired princess. After realizing what just took place, he smiled as he lost himself in her eyes, "So we'll always be together huh?" he wrapped his arms around the small petitewoman in front of him, and felt her jump in surprise at the unexpected embrace. He pulled back to stare into her eyes, his smile still present, "I promise I'll always be by your side, and protect you forever!" Goku declared with confidence and happiness.

The woman blushed before she wrapped her arms around Goku's neck. "I love you Goku," she whispered as she closed her eyes and pulled him in for a tender kiss.

...

Well, that was the prolouge! Yes, it was short, but then next chapter will be longer. So what do you think? Is it good so far? Let me know what you think and review! I want to know if I should continue this so, please review! Should I continue this?

Plus, I am a part of Team Dragon Star (EDIT: Yeah, I keep putting "Four" instead...-.-". I'm not that talented. xD I do love Team Four Star though. xD I am a part of a forum on FF, and keep typing "Four" instead of "Dragon" O_O BIG DIFFERENCE WHEN CHANGING THE WORDS. I am so dumb sometimes. xDD) so I will be helping out with some chapters. I did write a Goku/Chichi one-shot: "Why Does Love Make Us Suffer?"

Check it out sometime! :)

Thanks for reading! Love you all! ;)
