My name is Sakura & this is a story of love, depression, obsession & rivalry. I first met Goku when I was driving through the countryside looking for a home for sale. As I was driving along I saw a sign advertising a house for sale. I stopped, wrote down the address & after studying my map continued on my way. I soon found the house & got out of the car to walk around & stretch my legs. I pulled out my cell phone as I walked toward the house & dialed the number for the realtor who was selling the house. I got the answering service & I left a message. I walked around the outside of the house & cautiously peered in a couple of windows. It looked like a very comfy little house with enough room for an office for me & my own room. I looked at my watch & since I had nowhere important to be anytime soon I decided to go exploring. I locked the car & started out. I went into some woods off to one side of the house & found a small clearing in the center with a natural hot spring. I took off my shoes & placed my feet into the water. I was thoroughly enjoying myself & in fact half asleep when I heard something coming crashing through the trees on the far side of the hot spring. I leapt up, grabbed my shoes & ducked behind a large tree. To my horror a t-rex came into the clearing & peered around as though looking for a meal. It sniffed loudly & then let out an ear shattering roar. The next thing I knew it came racing around the hot spring & started chasing me. I was screaming bloody murder when all of a sudden I was snatched up by a pair of enormous muscular arms & told to hang on. I did & was soon deposited on a ledge several stories up the side of a mountain. "Get in that cave, don't move & don't scream. I'll yell when its gone." I didn't get a good look at my savior that first time. All I saw was black spiky hair & lots of muscle. "Now!" he yelled. I obediently ducked into the cave & lay flat on my stomach, next to the wall on one side so I could watch the battle. 'Surely,' I thought 'this guy can't possibly fight a t-rex! Is he crazy?' I watched as he flew around behind the dinosaurs head & delivered a smashing punch. The rex stumbled a little & turned to roar at its tormentor. He continued to rain blow after blow on the enraged rex until finally it had had enough & ran off. He chased it a short way & then returned. I stood & came out onto the ledge as he landed. Now I got a good look at him; he was tall, five feet eleven inches in fact & very muscular, he weighed one hundred & eighty pounds of solid muscle. He had spiky black hair, black eyes & he was dressed in an orange fighting costume with a dark blue belt, armbands & boots. "You really should be more careful out here. Those guys will eat you for dinner. My name is Goku. So why were you out here all alone?" I said, "My name is Sakura & I came out here to look at a house for sale. I was waiting to hear from the seller & I decided to go exploring. I was just sitting here relaxing when that rex came out of nowhere & then you came along. I need to get back to my car & make sure its okay. Have you seen a little red car parked in front of a little round house?" I was completely disoriented after that flight & though I could see for some distance from the ledge I couldn't spot my car. Just then I did, "There it is over there! Goku could you fly me down there?" He grinned & said, "Sure hold on." & picked me up. He flew over & came to a landing right beside my car. "Thanks Goku! Well I need to be headed home but it was nice meeting you & thanks for rescuing me! Say where do you live? Maybe we could get together sometime & talk?" I noticed he was staring at the house with an extremely sad look on his face. I wondered what was going on & I said, "Goku? Are you okay?" I reached out & touched his arm to get his attention & he jumped like he'd been shot. He then turned away from me & I could distinctly hear him sniffling as if he was crying. He didn't want me to see though & I walked back over to the car to retrieve a box of Kleenex. I handed him the box & said, "Here's some Kleenex in case you want some." I thought carefully before asking, "So what's wrong? Is everything all right?" He replied by saying only, "I used to live here." I was puzzled but I didn't want to pry so I walked a short distance away to let him be alone. I was standing there leaning against the car when I realized everything was quiet. I started to stand up to walk over when he came around the end of the car. "Sorry about that. This place just really brings back memories for me. So you're looking for a place to stay right? I've got some friends that I've been staying with & they have lots of space. I'm sure they'd be willing to let you rent a room. Wanna come check it out?" I thought 'sure why not? Plus this way I can get to know Goku here better. He's so cute! All those muscles too! Hubba, hubba.' Out loud I said, "Well I wouldn't want to intrude. But I do need a place to stay. Okay let's go, before I change my mind." So we got into the car & I put the top down. We got back onto the road & I asked for directions, "Have you ever heard of Capsule Corp? Look for a sign that says 'Capsule Corp Compound' & turn right there. You'll know the compound when you see it." About twenty minutes later we pulled up in front of the main building of the compound. I parked the car, locked the doors & we headed inside. Once inside I met Dr. & Mrs. Briefs. Goku explained about rescuing me from the rex & I explained that I was looking for a place to live out in the country. They said that they had plenty of space & that I was welcome to pick any room I wanted. I asked them how much they'd like for rent & they said don't worry. I said that I would at least pay for my own groceries & personal items. They said that was fine. I met Bulma a short time later as Goku & I were headed downstairs to where the living quarters were. I liked Bulma immediately she was smart, funny, friendly & very helpful. She proceeded to escort Goku & me downstairs & helped me pick an apartment. After I picked one, Goku saw the time & said that he had to run & he hoped I liked it here. I said thanks & then Bulma gave me a tour of the facility. There was a gymnasium, pool, library & a huge laboratory that Dr. Briefs worked in. We were headed back to my car to get my stuff when I realized that Bulma was speaking to me. She poked me in the arm to get my attention & when I turned to her she said, "Hey? Sakura, are you awake? Hello? I asked you a question." I turned to her & said, "Oh sorry about that I got distracted. What were you trying to ask me?" She asked me what I was 'spacing out' about. I was rather embarrassed to admit it but I said, "Goku." She jaw dropped & yelled, "Goku! You were daydreaming about Goku? Why?" I was rather startled & confused by her outburst, she didn't sound angry just incredulous that I was swooning about Goku. I gave her a funny look & said, "Well just look at him! He's so cute & cuddly looking & I just love all those muscles! Plus he's seems so sweet & helpful & just like an all around nice guy. What's your deal?" Bulma picked her jaw up off the floor & said, "Look I don't want you to take offense to this but I've known Goku since he was a kid & he's as dumb as a rock. I'm not trying to be mean but honestly sometimes the simplest things escape him. But on the other hand he's an excellent hand to hand fighter. He seems to be able to figure out the other guys move before he makes it & so Goku's ready to counter it. But he never went to school & he grew up in the woods with an old former Martial Arts master. So he's not book smart, just fighting smart. Wait until you've been around him a while you'll see what I mean. But if you really want to get to know him be my guest." I looked stunned, "So he's one of those more brawn than brains guys huh? Say do you know anything about his old house? Cuz I was looking at it to maybe buy & move into. But when we landed there so I could get my car & he saw the house he started crying." Bulma looked surprised & answered, "Goku's old house? I'm sorry but it's not my story to tell. Maybe one day he'll tell you. All I can say is that it probably brings back memories for him. That's why he started crying. He was remembering what his life used to be like. I hope you two do get together. He needs someone to be there for him right now." We carried the last couple of loads of stuff in from my car & I found the bathroom & proceeded to take a long hot shower & then put on a comfy pair of pajamas & went to bed. The next morning I was awakened by the sound of an explosion. I screamed & after grabbing my robe stumbled over to the door. I opened it to see smoke hanging in the air & to hear two furious voices yelling at the top of their lungs. I looked to the left, nothing there; then right & saw; Bulma & some guy arguing & shaking their fists at each other. The guy was physically rather cute but I could tell from what I heard of the argument he had a VERY nasty temper. He stood five feet five inches tall & weighed one hundred & twenty-three pounds. He had upswept black hair, black eyes & was dressed in a navy blue bodysuit which accentuated all of his muscles & white armor over his chest finishing with white knee high boots & elbow length white gloves. Bulma was really giving him an earful, "You're so dumb Vegeta, blowing up the machine like that! Are you trying to kill us all? What gets into you? Well my mornings ruined, thank you very much! I hope your happy with yourself Your Majesty!" Vegeta for his part snarled right back, "Oh shut up woman! No one was hurt & if I wanted to kill you all I could have long ago. You're worse than a mother hen. Honestly, females & their hysterics. Oh & by the way I'm glad I ruined your morning! In fact I think I'll do it again tomorrow! So there!" I had managed to keep out of sight & once Vegeta was gone I called to Bulma, "Hey! Bulma, who was that? That explosion nearly gave me a heart attack." Bulma came over & asked if she could come in. Once we were inside I told her to make herself at home while I went to get dressed. She explained that Goku & Vegeta were the last two members of an extinct race called the Saiyans. No one knew how but their home planet had been destroyed by Frieza years ago. Goku was sent to the Earth as an infant to destroy the human race & prepare the planet for invasion. He hit his head on a large rock as a child & lost his memory. He was raised by Master Roshi, the Turtle Hermit & trained as a fighter. She told me about all the battles they had been in & how Vegeta had originally come to the Earth to search for the Dragon Balls, seven magical yellow-orange globes which when collected would allow the person who had collected them to summon the Eternal Dragon & make a single wish. Goku had fought valiantly & had finally managed to defeat him. Over the years though Vegeta had tamed down considerably & joined the Z-Fighters in the fight to protect the Earth from the forces of evil. He still had a horrible temper though & was prone to violent outbursts like the one that had destroyed the training machine Bulma's father, Dr. Briefs, had designed to help Vegeta train. She said that the outbursts were not too frequent & that the room which actually contained the training machine was very heavily armored. She said not to worry about Vegeta unless he was throwing a tantrum. She then said that she intended to go to the beach & hang out. She asked if I wanted to come & I said sure why not? I asked if she minded if I invited Goku to come along so I could try to talk to him & she said no problem. She said to go ahead & get dressed & she'd make sure he didn't leave. I thanked her & proceeded to get dressed. I put on my red French bikini & then a lightweight cotton sundress over it. I strapped a pair of sandals on my feet, pulled my hair into a ponytail, placed a large floppy hat on my head to keep the sun out of my eyes & generously applied sun block to all my exposed skin. I placed my beach towel into a bag & went to the door to go & see if Bulma was ready & almost ran right into Goku. I yelped & nearly fell over backwards trying to stop myself from running into him. "Oops sorry to startle you Sakura, Bulma said you wanted to talk to me. So what's up?" I answered, "Well Bulma invited me to go to the beach & I wondered if you wanted to go with us? I thought it would be a chance for us to get to know each other. So what do you say?" Goku looked surprised & said, "Yeah sure why not! Just give me a few minutes to change & grab a towel." I said, "No problem just meet us in the kitchen. Oh & don't forget sun block, you don't want to get sunburned." About fifteen minutes later we were on our way to the beach. Goku looked even better in a pair of navy blue swimming trunks. We had a lot of fun surfing, swimming & building a huge sand castle. Finally around noon Bulma decided she'd had enough sun for one day & said she was heading home. Goku & I talked about it & decided that we would rather have lunch at one of the little restaurants along the boardwalk & then fly home. We started talking & Goku told me about how after the last major villain to harass the Earth had been defeated his wife Chi Chi had died & that their two sons Gohan & Goten had grown up & moved out on their own. He had been sold the house & had been staying at Capsule Corp for the last two years. I told him how very sorry I was to hear about his wife's death & that I would be there whenever he needed someone to talk to. Little did I know that in only eight months time we would become lovers. We then flew home.
Eight Months Later
Eight months later Goku & I went on our first date. We went out to dinner, saw a movie & went to thefair. We had a ball on the thrill rides & Goku won me a very cute stuffed horse with rainbow colored fairy wings, a golden blonde mane & tail & big blue eyes. I managed to wina picture of Sub Zero from Mortal Kombat performing his signature Deep Freeze move. There were several figures around him all frozen up to their necks with identical shocked expressions on their faces. The barker wrapped it in newspaper & I placed it in a small brown paper gift bag for the trip home. Afterward we went & sat on the beach just talking & snuggling. Actually we were sitting on a cliff facing the ocean to watch the sunset. There were two levels to the cliff: one came out about ten feet further than the upper one & Goku sat with his back against the wall of the cliff & I sat leaning back into him with my head on his shoulder. He had his arm around me & we were holding hands. I nearly fell asleep before the sun had fully set. When it was finally dark Goku picked me up in his arms & we flew home. Though I wasn't ready to make love to Goku just yet, I didn't want to spend the night alone & so I invited him to stay. We fell asleep in each others arms. We had been spending a lot of time talking about the past & about how much Goku missed Chi Chi, Gohan & Goten. He finally seemed to be healing after being alone for so long. Sure he had his sons but they were living in the city, getting good educations & trying to make ends meet. They visited each other often & Goku enjoyed seeing them but he didn't have anyone to love him like Chi Chi had. I made a point of cooking him dinner several nights a week & about a month after our first date he moved in with me. I had met Gohan & Goten & had even invited them over for dinner on occasion. Gohan was happy that his father was not alone anymore & that we had found each other. Goten was not too sure what to think & at first he wouldn't even speak to me. But after Goku & I both talked to him & explained that I was not trying to take Chi Chi's place & that I hope we could be friends, he warmed up to me a bit. A month & a half after we started dating Goku, Gohan, Goten & I made a trip to a water park & spent a weekend there. We got home fairly early the following Monday morning & after taking the boys home we went back to our place to rest.Neither one of us had any clue that Vegeta had been watching me all this time & was up to no good.
About four months later we had our one year anniversary & to celebrate we planned to go to a fancy restaraunt & to a concert that I'd been wanting to go to. It was about three days away & though I had wanted to wait til the day of our anniversary the tension had been building & I just knew something was going to happen before. Only problem I was nervous. Judging by the size of the rest of him I guessed Goku was going to be pretty good sized. I wanted to ask Bulma about any preparations I should make. I woke up that morning & seeing that Goku was gone assumed he had gone outside to exercise decided to get dressed & try to talk to Bulma. A few minutes later I knocked on her door & when she answered I asked if we could talk inside. Bulma invited me to sit down & asked m what was going on. I thought for several seconds before answering. "Well here's the problem. See its gonna be our one year anniversary in three days & the tensions really been building up. I wanted to wait til the night of our anniversary to make love to Goku for the first time but I just don't know how much longer either one of us can wait. There's just one problem. I've seen Goku in his boxer briefs before & he's big but I'm tiny & I'm afraid it'll hurt. That & I don't think human condoms are gonna work on him. Didn't you tell me that you & Vegeta were married at one point? Did you have any children? What can I do to prepare so its not painful the first time?" Bulma said that she had been married to Vegeta for a while but that they fought so much it didn't work out. She also said that they had had a son Trunks & that he was grown & had moved out but that he didn't get to visit very often cuz he was busy. She said that she had some condoms for Saiyans (she had previously explained that Saiyans & humans were basically alike physically but with a few major differences. She had also explained about how Saiyans were able to transform into a more powerful form when extremely angered & that the more aroused they became the more extreme the transformation). She also gave me some lubricant that would warm on contact & also some numbing stuff to soothe it in case of any soreness afterward. She also gave me some spermicide designed for Saiyan sperm. She asked if it was my first time & I said no but that I had only had sex once before & been rather disappointed. She said just to make sure to let Goku know that & to take it slow. I thanked her & asked her to let Goku know I was at the pool if he came in before I was done. I went back to my place & got changed then headed for the pool. I had been a few times & I liked the fact that it was usually deserted so I had the whole pool to myself. I hung my towel on a hook & after testing the water decided to just jump in & get the initial shock over with quickly. I did & when I surfaced with a gasp I heard the door open & someone come inside. I had hoped it was Goku but no such luck. It was Vegeta. We had not actually met yet but we had seen each other around & I had decided I didn't entirely trust him. Upon seeing me he came strolling over (thankfully he was fully clothed & didn't seem to be in a bad mood for once) sat down by the side of the pool (I was on the other side) & said, "Hello! You must be Sakura. My name is Prince Vegeta of the planet Frieza. It's a shame we never met before now. So I hear you & Kakarot are dating. I tell you what why don't you leave him & try dating a real man. Trust me you don't want a wimp like him when you could have a Prince do you?" I meanwhile immediately took offense to his arrogant attitude & his suggestion that Goku was a wimp & now I let him know, "Oh but Goku & I are quite happy thank you. I think I'll decide for myself who I'll date thank you. Now if you don't mind I'm gonna finish my swim." With that I dove under the water & swam to the stairs. I then climbed out, walked over to the hook where my towel was hanging, grabbed it, wrapped it around myself & turned to leave. To my amazement Vegeta was right behind me blocking my path to the door, "Excuse me if I offended you I simply meant that maybe you'd rather be with a real man & not an overgrown boy like Kakarot. I can please you in ways he could never even dream of. What do you say?" I knew that I was physically no match for Vegeta but I thought maybe I could outsmart him. "I think I can decide for myself which of you is a real man. Now excuse me but I have someplace to be in half an hour." As I had spoken I had moved back toward the deep end of the pool knowing that Vegeta would follow me. He had & I carefully manuevered toward the opposite side of the pool. Seeing what I was up to he suddenly darted forward & took hold of my wrists to stop me from running. "Listen Sakura I can make all your fantasies come true but we don't have to do this the hard way. Just give me a chance & you'll never regret it." He tried to pull me toward the steamrooms but I resisted as well as I was able. Now he began to lose his patience & he tried to shift his grip so he could pick me up but I managed to get loose. I ran to the other side of the pool & headed for the door. I was nearly there when he grabbed me from behind & tried to fly off. I had grabbed hold of the door handle & refused to let go. This time he got angry & started yelling & pulling harder. Suddenly I heard footsteps outside the door & sensed that it was Goku. I waited til I heard him take hold of the door handle & I let go of my side. This caused Vegeta & I to go flying backwards & him to let go of me. I landed hard on the wet floor near the stairs & started to sit up just as Goku came inside. Seeing Vegeta come up out of the pool where he landed spluttering & choking & yelling & me sitting on the floor he obviously noticed something was up. "What's going on here? Sakura are you ok? How'd Vegeta end up in the pool?" I told him what had happened & after a rather heated argument we headed to my apartment. We settled in to watch a movie but I forgot that I had intended to make a batch of brownies for desert. I got up & got them mixed & ready & set the oven to preheat. I went to sit back down on the couch & I tripped on Goku's foot & ended up in his lap. Not that I wasn't planning on tonight being the night we would finally make love but I wasn't quite in the mood yet & I was rather nervous. I guess Goku wasn't too nervous because I could feel him pressing against me & it made me hot all over just imagining him inside me. But then I saw the oven light was on & started to get up to go put the brownies in but Goku stopped me by putting an arm around my waist & saying, "Hey don't go. Just relax a while." I didn't wanna leave the oven for long cuz it would shut itself off if left on with nothing inside for long but I didn't really wanna move so I relaxed & leaned back against him. He put his other arm around me & held me tight as he began kissing my neck. I for my part put my hand upon his thigh & began massaging it while I took his other hand & brought it up to my breast. He got the signal & started gently massaging my breast & then slid his other hand down between my legs. I sighed in expectation as he began exploring me with his fingers & then slid one inside & started thrusting in & out while he caressed my clit with the other. I moved so that I could reach his member & moved my hand from his thigh to it & began rubbing & stroking it. After several minutes of rubbing, stroking & massaging we both came. I got up & went into the kitchen to put the brownies in the oven & partially to give myself time to cool down. Afterword we started watching the movie though we actually spent most of the time pleasuring each other. Once it was over we had desert (we had eatten dinner earlier) & straightened the kitchen I led him into the bedroom. I took my turn first this time & took my time with him kissing & licking his nipples & working my way to his member. I ended by licking, nibbling & sucking it til he came. When he had caught his breath he playfully pinned me down & gave me the same treatment. He licked & sucked on my breasts & then on down to my clit & finally thrust his tongue inside & wriggled it around, up, down & side to side til I came. Now we were both ready to burst with anticipation of our lovemaking but I remembered the "kit" Bulma had given me & I explained to Goku as I had to Bulma. He agreed to be gentle & to take it slow. He began by taking first just one & then two fingers (two of his fingers were big enough around to simulate his member) & gently but firmly probing & massaging so that I was stretched enough that it wouldn't be too uncomfortable when he came inside. He put on the condom & then after saying it would be better if he came inside quickly the first time it would be better than taking it more slowly & prolonging the discomfort. I nodded & tried to stay relaxed but to my surprise his probing had done its job & made it only slightly uncomfortable without being painful in the least. He started out slow & steady & at my encouragement began thrusting harder & faster til he felt we were both close to coming & then slowed back down & then went faster. He slowed down again when we were both ready to come & then started thrusting faster & harder once more so that when we both came it was way more intense than it would have been before. We lay there afterword content to spend the rest of the night just snuggling & talking until we both fell asleep. Neither one of us had any clue about the storm that was coming & just what would happen as a result.
