He was going to be too late.
The horrible ache in his chest, or in his heart to be exact, was ebbing away leaving a empty pit
where once was great joy and love.
He was going to be too late.
Goku frantically pushed himself harder willing his body to move faster, his heart twisting painfully
with every second.
How could he have been so stupid? How could he have not understood what they meant about the most
precious thing to him would be jerked away from him?!
Faster! Goku pushed himself even more, the ground a blur underneath him. The hollow feeling was
growing stronger, filling his heart. The hollowness was like a black hole that was eating him alive.
His eyes searched the horizon frantically, his heart beating rapidly while his breath's came in
short succession.
Please Kami don't let me be too late! Goku thought desperately, willing the blackness that was
swallowing up his heart to go away.
She was dying.
Goku could feel it throughout his entire body. His nerves screamed while his heart sobbed,
racking his body with jerking movements. No! He couldn't be too late! Goku pushed himself a bit more,
despising the seed of hopelessness that was planted in his heart. He wouldn't be too late!
There! He could just make out the outline of his house. Goku pushed the last of his reserves
and landed by his front door. Or would-have-been front door. Where once stood the proud wood bearing
the Son name plaque was a gaping hole.
Goku growled, the door frame mocked him whispering to him, blaming him. Goku shook himself
mentally. No time for that, he had to find her! Goku sprinted through the door, ignoring the pain that
pounded within his chest.
Not finding anything in the house except charred walls and broken frames, Goku sprinted out
side just to jerk to a stop. There!
Chichi lay in the center of the yard unmoving, the wind playfully teasing her hair. Goku gave a
strangled sound and ran to where she lay, careful to keep his guard up. His heart was pounding wildly
in his chest causing short jolts of pain throughout his body. Goku ignored them and lifted Chichi into
his arms.
He never realized how small she was until now or how she perfectly fit into his frame. Cuddling
her small frame to his body, he begged whatever god was watching over them to be kind. This was his wife,
his love, his life. He couldn't imagine his world without her. Choking down a sob, Goku lightly kissed
her forehead.
He had come too late.
**AUTHORS NOTES: I know, kinda depressing but I wanted to have a story where Goku actually proves his love
for Chichi. But don't worry! ::Flashes a V sign for Victory:: I want to see how this does, and if it does
okay(which I pray to Kami it will) I am going to put this scene into a story I thought up. Email me please
and tell me what you think!!! Thanks!!!**
PS: Oh yeah ::puts hand behind her head and laughs embarrassingly:: my email is pbailey@foxinternet.net.
