DBZ Consequences chapter 1 ( Mondays suck )

It was another miserable day for Chichi. She had not slept well and was ready for this day to be over. The morning was going by agonizingly slow as she cleaned the house to keep her busy.

Goku had left once again to train or something about 9 months ago. And those 9 months have been the worst 9 months of Chichi's life, even when Goku had been dead for a year she had never felt like this.

During this 9 month period Chichi had become depressed and now seemed like an entirely different person. Most times she was quiet, Only yelled or ranted when made very angry which was rare now. she spent her days sulking around doing anything to keep her distracted like cleaning, running errands, cooking... anything she could to keep her mind off Goku. and this worked most of the time, but there were days when she found it impossible to not think about him. Days like today...,

Chichi sighed finally walking away from the window that she had previously cleaning, but ended up staring out of it lost in thought for about 30 minutes. she had not realized she had done so until just now. she glanced up at the clock subconsciously as she put away her cleaning supplies. It was only 1:26!. she still had an entire day ahead of her and she had already cleaned the house, did the laundry, and dusted every square inch of the house. what was she supposed to do now? she had a few hours before Gohan and Goten get home from school. she found herself wishing someone was there with her, just to give her someone to clean up after.

But she knew inviting one of the others would not be the best idea. Unfortunately even with her efforts to act like nothing happened, her behavior did not go unnoticed by them. Infact Bulma even confronted Chichi about it, but since Bulma was the pushy type the only result was Chichi getting pissed and leaving. Chichi's act did not go past Gohan either, but he decided not to ask her about it. it would only make her more upset. it was a surprise for everyone on how much Chichi had been affected.

Later that day they all sat down for dinner, Goten stuffing his face with food while talking about how he and trunks beat up an older kid for picking on them. "Yeah me and Trunks got detention, but totally worth it!" the boy said swallowing another fork full of food. Gohan looked at his brother disapprovingly. " you now Goten, if you and Trunks keep getting in trouble like that you could-" Goten interrupted his older brother obnoxiously laughing. " who cares! it's not like I'm going to die if a get suspension or a bad grade!" Gohan rolled his eyes before continuing to eat. he then turned his head to look at his mother who was silently eating, her face neutral.

She hadn't said a word since they started eating, nor had she scolded Goten for getting detention like she used to. she must be thinking about dad..."Hey mom?" he asked as she lifted her head a little before answering. "Yes Gohan?" he spoke up again. " is it alright if Videl comes over tomorrow after school?, we were going to study together for the exams coming up."Goten stifled a laugh before saying. "Videl. Studying?. haha best joke ever!" Chichi nodded picking up her dish and putting it in the sink. " Yes may come over tomorrow. as long as your ONLY studying". Gohan smiled before picking up his own dish and putting it in the sink.

Goten burped loudly licking his lips. " man that was good! Dad would probably eat two whole pots of this!" Chichi froze and went silent. Gohan gave him a look and he realized what he had said. " Oh, sorry mom... I forgot" Chichi only nodded. " It's okay Goten... um... i'm going to bed alright? don't stay up too late, oh and there is pie in the fridge" and with that she walked out of the kitchen and into her bedroom.

Chichi undressed slowly before slipping into a nightgown and laid down on the bed not bothering to get under the covers. She was tired but somehow couldn't fall asleep, she found herself staring at the ceiling finding no real interest until her eyes crossed a crack in the ceiling. it was a few feet long and it was obvious that it had been painted over. She then remembered it was put there by none other than Goku. it was a while back just about before Goten was conceived. Goku had been messing around and wasn't paying attention when he was flying and bumped into a tree sending him falling towards the house. he fell right through the roof upon impact making a huge hole in the ceiling in their bedroom. she had screamed at him to be more careful and how she had to call someone to fix the hole. In the end he had gotten a frying pan to the head and had begged for her forgiveness, she finally gave in to his puppy dog face and said he didn't have to sleep on the couch that night. that was when Goku was home more often. these were the kind of memories Chichi missed the most, when she didn't have to worry about him leaving or waiting for long periods of time for him to come back.

She didn't understand. he's already beat Frieza and even Majin Buu, Isn't he strong enough? and what has become of their marriage? their honeymoon had been disastrous he had noidea what to do, so she had to teach him how love works. he had gotten a better understanding of love after that and soon she no longer had to ask for his affection, but ever since Majin Buu he was more interested in training. does Goku even care? Does he ever think that she could be emotionally hurt by his 'disappear for almost a year then come back like everything is fine and dandy? Either he doesn't or he does but just doesn't care. No. that doesn't sound like her Goku. he is much too sweet. maybe he doesn't realize that she is hurting.

Chichi felt tears prick her eyes threatening to fall. But still...Goku had left saying something about training, becoming stronger, and with that he took off. he didn't even have the decency to say goodbye, I love you, or how long he'd be away!. "It's not fair..." hot tears finally pooled down her face and sobs filled the room. she mumbled things under her breath, things about how she missed him and how she wished that he was here curled up against her. whenever she would stay up late to clean up or take a shower he would be asleep already, she would crawl under the covers next to him and let him cuddle up against her as he talked in his sleep. usually it was about food or fighting, but sometimes she would hear him mumble her name and he would hold her against him like a teddy bear. she would blush like a bashful teenager and giggle girlishly. and the next morning she would have to literally pry herself from his embrace so she could get dressed and start breakfeast. she rolled over burying her face into the pillow. the more she cried the more she wished Goku was here to comfort her, she would do anything to see him right now. but not even that would be enough. it's never enough, but why? why must she suffer like this?. she said one last thing before falling asleep. " Mondays suck..."

A/N: and that's it for the first chapter. Sorry it's kinda short but I couldn't think of anything else to add to it. Chapter2 should be posted either today or sometime this week. ~xXDarkSmileXx~
