~I Knew I Loved You~
Some things you just don't question
By Lady Frieza
Maybe it's intuition
But Some things you just don't question
Like in you eyes I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe
-Savage Garden
This story starts out after Scarlet has come to the planet Earth and has changed her ways of thinking. In case you are wondering, Scarlet is Frieza's daughter. In this story Scarlet and Goten will do a little love story that I thought would be cute. Well here it goes, E-mail me and tell me what you think!
* * *
Scarlet's prone form was draped across her bed as she slept, that was until someone decided to come barreling in.
"Hey Scarlet! Guess what?!" A shadowy figure jumped on her bed, scaring the living day lights out of her.
She sat up abruptly and looked up at her attacker, she let out a high pitched screech the made whoever it was jump back a few feet. She squinted her eyes to see who it was, then she sighed. "Goten..." Then she got angry. "Goten what the hell are you doing I could have killed you!"
"Yeah right!" Goten threw his backpack on the floor.
"Why you-" Her cheeks puffed up.
"I have to show you something." Goten smiled, realized that what he had said always got her in an angry mood.
"What is it?" Scarlet's anger abated as she looked to see what he had brought.
"I drew a picture for you!" Goten came back with a smile.
"Really?"
"Yeah." He held up a picture of the two of them together, he was giving her a piggyback ride while she flashed a smile, both had their fingers in a 'V' shape.
"Oh I remember that!" She grinned. "T'wasn't that when we were at a picnic with your family? Didn't your dad take that photograph?"
"Uh huh." Goten nodded. He always felt a little silly talking to her, she always talked so properly... well sometimes, while he always talked a little plainly. Scarlet never seemed to mind though, she just enjoyed his company. She was always like that, she had never thought him stupid, maybe a little weird every so often, but not stupid.
"Why, are you blushing Goten?" Scarlet teased while pinching one of his cheeks.
"No!"
"Then why are you staring at me like that?"
"I'm not looking at ya' I'm just staring off into space!"
"Mmm hmm." Her eyes were mischievous. "You know space is up and not at me?"
"No really." Goten blushed all the more.
"Yeah sure!" Scarlet rolled her eyes as she jumped off the bed. "I'll bet you were, silly boy!"
"Man, you are pushy aren't you?" Goten laughed a little to ease the tension that was suddenly in the air, then he frowned. "I'm not a boy! I'm a man! You have allot of nerve calling me that! I'm two and a half years older than you!" All she did was smile and turn her back to him, her arms folded. He slapped his forehead. "You did it to me again!"
"You get upset so easily I don't even know why I even try!" She flipped her black hair back as she pranced over to her vanity. She found a brush and started to get all the knots out. She looked up into the mirror and saw him looking at her once more. "You know... I wonder if lightening struck: Would you face stay like that?"
Goten caught himself looking again, shaking his head.
"My goodness my darling, am I so strange looking that you must watch me as though undressing me with your eyes?"
"No, I don't think you look strange... just different."
"Different." Scarlet repeated and went back to brushing her hair.
"Can I?" Goten asked.
She handed him her brush while he started to mess with her hair. "I don't know why you insist on doing this."
"Well you know, I used to brush my mother's hair a lot. I don't make you hair look that bad do I?"
"No."
"I just like to do it, that's all." Goten's eyebrows furrowed. "Can't you take any kindness?"
"Oh, Goten. I'm just not used to it." She sighed looking down, before her eyes met his once more in the glass. "I'm not used to people doing nice things for me, I'm not used to hugs, kisses, or any sort of affection. It's not that I don't enjoy it, it's just that I don't know how to react, don't know what to say."
Goten stopped stroking her hair momentarily. "Are you afraid of people loving you?"
"No! Of course not!" Scarlet huffed. "That is ridiculous!"
Goten smiled at her. "Yeah right! I'll bet you are scared!"
"Am not!"
"I'm not going to argue with you 'cause I know that I'm right!"
"Oh! You are just being so childish-!"
"Now, now! We don't want you to get all flustered..." Goten said, mimicking her voice tone.
"Oh shut up!" She reached behind her to grab his side, unfortunately he jumped away. "Come here!"
"No way!" He managed to grab her flailing arms. "Don't tickle me okay... I can't stand it!"
"Alright." But the look in her eyes said other wise.
Goten managed to put her hair up in a braided pigtail, before she thought he let his guard down enough for her to attack him again. Once again she missed. "Ha! Can't get me! Fastest feet in the room!"
"Hmph!"

"Kakarot." Vegeta simply stated, it was their break time from their usual everyday spar. Both Sayijin men sat on the counter top of the kitchen located at the Capsule Corporation.
"Yef Vegeta?" Goku said around a mouthful of food.
"Have you noticed anything weird about your son... Goten I mean?"
"No. Why Vegeta? Has he done something wrong?" Goku stopped eating, becoming concerned.
"No... it's just he and that freak are hanging out together allot lately." Vegeta's lips quirked.
"You mean Scarlet?"
"Yes. Isn't it a little weird that those two might be around each other?" Vegeta didn't know why, but he was always a little concerned about that. It shouldn't have though, as long as that overgrown albino lizard didn't hang around his children he should be fine, he Goku needed to know.
"Now that you mention it, he goes and sees her every day!" Goku exclaimed with his silly grin. "Well at least Goten gets along with Scarlet better'n I got along with Frieza!" He munched on his food again, thinking that the conversation was over.
"I think you are missing the point." Vegeta shook his head. "Do you think... that maybe those two are..."
"No Vegeta!" Goku thought he knew what his friend was talking about. "I don't think those two are planing on doing anything crazy... like taking over the universe or anything!"
"That's not what I mean!" Vegeta snapped. "Although that could be a possibility..."
"Vegeta!"
"Well," Vegeta sighed, he hated his damned friend sometimes... he was so childish, he had to be told every single detail.
"Well I don't think-"
"That's your problem Goku you don't think!" Vegeta regretted the words, but decided to go on anyway. "Look, don't you see anything wrong with those two being around each other all the time?"
"What do you mean?"
Ack! Moron! Shut up! Die! Vegeta thought to himself. "LOOK STUPID... I think that those two might fall in love or something if they hang around each other too much, GET THE PICTURE?!"
"I don't know why you are getting so angry at me for..." Man Vegeta must be kinda stupid. Goku laughed inwardly. "I already knew that Goten loved her."
"What?!"
"Yes, he tells her all the time when she come over." Goku's eyes took on a upside-down 'U' shape.
"You idiot! I'm not talking about-" It was like yelling at a brick wall! Vegeta just stopped, it was a lost cause.
"I don't see what the big deal is... I think it is kind of cute that that love each other." Goku said innocently.
"I'm just saying...." Maybe Goku will understand this. "That if they fall in love for real... what do you think they will do?"
"Oh, you mean that romantic kind of love?" Goku laughed ignorantly.
"YES!" Give the man a silver dollar I think he's figured it out!
"I suppose they'll get married." Goku went on.
Maybe not! "They can't!"
"Why not?" Goku looked a little bewildered by all this.
"Because... look... they aren't the same race, hell! They don't even look the same hardly! The only reason we are able to breed with the humans is because we look similar. Scarlet looks like a lizard!"
"Well yes." Goku nodded.
"So it would kind of be impossible to have children!"
"Yeah and?"
"You are..." Vegeta felt a vain forming on his forehead. "I'm just saying that isn't it a bit selfish? Goten would be keeping Scarlet from having a family... as much as I would like that. I have to at least give them that option."
"Yeah... maybe I should talk to Goten about that." Goku frowned. "He should at least here it... they can both talk it over. I just don't want to embarrass him! What if they don't think of each other that way?"
"It's just taking a necessary precaution." Vegeta assured.
"I guess you are right." Goku nodded his head once more. "I'll talk to him when he gets home." He looked at the clock on the kitchen wall. "He'll be home any minute. Bye Vegeta." Goku waved, pointed two fingers on his forehead and teleported to the Son house.
"Chi Chi?" Goku could already taste the food she was preparing.
"Yes dear?"
"I have to tell you something..."
* * *
Scarlet and Goten laughed and talked on as they were lying on top of her ship. Both made gestures at the clouds, and laughed again.
"Scarlet?"
"Hmm?"
"Do think..." Goten started but faltered.
"Do I think what?" She insisted.
"Do you think you look a little funny walking around... you know... like you do?" Goten tried to hide the silly grin that appeared on his face.
"What do you mean? I walk around just fine!" Scalet's cheeks turned red. "At least I don't go around looking like I'm stomping ants! Hmph!"
"I didn't mean that." He laughed at her. "You know... you don't have any cloths on. I mean, do you do that to, you know, distract people?"
Her face turned crimson. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Well... the reason I stare at you all the time is that same reason." Goten was ready to bolt if she got upset.
"W-what?!" She was so flustered that she looked like she was about to cry.
"Just a thought..." He said wistfully. "Your body looks pretty good... I just supposed that you were trying to get some... attention."
"WHY YOU INSOLENT CREATURE!!!!" She shrieked. "I ought to... to... argh!!!!"
"Now, now!" Goten said, getting up and backing away. "You don't have to go all crazy on me now. I was just trying to compliment you."
She calmed at this and realized he was staring at her again, which made her upset, to say the least. "You know what?! For months I saw you looking at me like that: Your eyes half closed, sometimes you would even have a smile, your eyebrows stuck together! I thought you wanted to kill me there for a while!" She huffed. "That was until I got to know you... then I thought you just looked at people like that all the time."
Goten laughed. "Really?"
"Yes really! Know I know that you were always staring at me because you were a pervert!" She stuck her tongue out at him and turned around, her arms crossed over her chest.
"Have I mentioned to you... what a nice ass you have?" Goten sputtered.
"You -oh- you!!!!!!!" She turned to him, fists raised.
"But its not as nice looking as your-"
Scarlet blushed to the roots of her hair, covering her breasts up. She only could only stand there and take his little comments.
"I always wondered why you don'tt have nipples, but I guess that doesn't matter."
"..." She didn't say anything but her face spoke volumes.
"It's not that you don't have nice breast or anything... but I couldn't help but think about it now and again."
"I do have them!" She shouted. "You just can't see them!" She retorted.
"Oh... I guess they must be as white as your skin then." Goten's eyes lit up with a wicked light that she didn't like. "And why don't you wear pants or a skirt? Don't you have a..." He looked lower.
Not believing for a moment that she let herself get dragged into this situation, she used her last weapon... her words! "You pig! I should-"
"You should what?" Goten said, his face taking on a serious expression. He took a threatening step forward. "What will you do little Scarlet?" He made his way closer to her.
"Stay back!" She shrieked.
"Or what?!" Goten smiled broadly. "Come here... I want to see you. What's wrong? Why are you covering up? I've seen you like this ever since I met you."
"But it's not like before!" She whined as he walked closer. "Stop it! You're scaring me!"
"I'm sorry." Although she could tell by his face that he didn't mean it. He had stopped though, which made her feel a little better. "I just want to touch you."
"Where?" She backed off defensively.
"Anywhere." He said vaguely, knowing he was getting on her nerves by doing so. "C'mon... It's no big deal right?"
"I guess not." She dropped her hands, and smiled. "But I get to touch you, okay?"
"I- alright." Goten couldn't believe his good luck! ^_~
* * *
"Oh dear!" Chi Chi sniffed. "I knew Goten and Scarlet-Chan were good friends but," She swallowed. "I can't believe that they would... and what about Parisu?!"
"Let's not jump to conclusions." Goku halted her. "We don't know what is going on between them. They could just be friends."
"But it makes sense!" Chi Chi cried. "Goten never would hang out with girls like he has now!"
"But Goten has never had a girl that looked like she did before. We don't want to offend either of them." Goku reasoned. "Just remember, Scarlet still has some of those emotions she has to deal with, we don't know how her father has effected her. She might not hate Sayijins, but we don't know how she will react to being accused of such a thing as this."
"Oh, well. What could it hurt?" Chi Chi calmed down. "If they are in love so be it, but what if that horrible Frieza finds out?!" She fretted.
"I doubt anyone will tell him, especially Scarlet."
"True." Chi Chi smiled radiantly. "Oh my little boy had fallen in love! Ooh!"
"Chi Chi I don't think-"
"Hush Goku! I'm in one of my daydreams!"
"Right." Goku's eyes narrowed pitifully.
"I must admit that Scarlet-Chan is a little weird looking... but so is Piccolo, Tien, and about every one else we know!"
"Yes dear."
"I wonder what she would look like in a wedding dress..." She giggled. "No body would see her! She is so pale! Tee hee!"
"Uh, Chi Chi."
"Won't they look so weird together?!"
"Chi Chi!"
"Uh?"
"We don't know for sure yet." Goku said pathetically, knowing that the romantic Chi Chi might throw a fit at him saying so.
* * *
Trunks walked along the Capsule corporation sighing and talking to himself. Goten hadn't called for a while. Actually, ever since Scarlet showed up for her little 'visit' he hadn't seen him at all. His father didn't trust Scarlet one iota, but that really didn't mean anything, his father didn't trust anybody... not even the trust-worthy Goku! Well he would find his friend... he was surprised that he hadn't felt his ki at Scarlet's ship. Both of them were together no doubt, he would just go scare them up. Trunks wore a smile as he flew to his destination.
* * *
It took some doing, but he managed to find it. He supposed that it maybe was because she was so different, a lizard really, he pushed two fingers inside making her body jerk, heard a gasp. Maybe he shouldn't have touched her so intimately. He pulled his fingers out making her arch up along with his hand.
"Oh Goten." She sighed, not believing she enjoyed that even remotely, her pale face was flushed brightly.
Goten grinned down at her, and he thought she would be mad at him. He started to touch her else where. His hands ran over her voluptuous flesh, thumbing the puckering centers. She made purring sounds and his hands traveled lower.
"Yes. Touch me again." Her voice was slurred in obvious pleasure. He replaced his hands with mouth, suckling her. She stroked his hair, while murmuring words that drove him further. He kissed lower, starting a fire within her. Finally he was there at the top of her thighs, she could feel a hot puff of air where she burned for him.
"Goten what are you doing?!"
Goten nearly flew out of his position he looked up at his best guy friend, Trunks. "H-hello Trunks. What bring you here?" He looked at Scarlet who sat up quickly, she was clearly as surprised as he. How did Trunks sneak up on them like that? How indeed...
"You think I'm surprised?" Trunks asked with a serious face. "You would 'do' anything wouldn't you?" He looked down at Scarlet.
"My dad is going to kill me." She said miserably.
"Man Goten... you must be desperate!" Trunks laughed. "Don't you have enough girls hanging on you? I mean, to date outside your own species is a little weird in itself!"
"It's nothing Trunks!" Goten said. "I was just touching her, you don't have to make a big deal of it!"
"Uh huh! Sure you were!"
Scarlet's cheeks burned in shame. 'No big deal' he says. She shouldn't have thought that he would get emotionally involved. Hadn't her father told her that she shouldn't get to attached to the Sayijin? Who cares anyway?! They could never be together in that way. So what...
"Scarlet? Scarlet? Are you okay?"
"Sure I am." Scarlet said with an emotionless expression. She got up stiffly, pushing Goten out of the way. "I'll see you, I guess." She threw over her shoulder.
"Wait Scarlet!" Goten called, sensing something was wrong. He felt her ki, for some reason it felt depressed or sad.
"Leave me alone!" She called out as she retreated.
"I wonder what's eating her." Goten wondered.
"You are so lame Goten." Trunks narrowed his eyes at his friend. "I think -she thinks- you have insulted her."
"Nah, Scarlet knows better." Goten clasped his hands behind his head.
"I could have upset her too." Trunks confessed. "Man, it must be hard for her..."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, there are not a whole lot of her species left." Trunks frowned. "Or so I was told."
"Well she has more of her people than our fathers had." Goten reasoned. "It must be something else."
"Goten, just think about it, Scarlet it basically the only girl we know that is her species right?" Trunks asked, his friend nodded. "Well, she told me that she was the only girl left, every one else is old. There are no males left on her planet except for her father, uncle and grandfather."
"And?"
"AND! She doesn't have anybody to get married to that's what!"
"Well she could go out with somebody from another species Trunks!" Goten said simply. "Our fathers did!"
"Yes Goten, our fathers did go out and get married to aliens, BUT! At least Sayijin and humans look alike. Scarlet is a lizard." He inflected.
"Why does every say that?!" Goten fumed. "You guys act like she's some damn thing you find hanging around in trees or crawling around on the ground! Well she's not! She's just like you 'an me!"
"Goten (sigh) you're not getting the point. I'm just saying that she might be lonely... she might have thought you liked her or something."
"I do like her." Goten announced. "Actually, I love her."
"I mean like 'that.'" Trunks intoned.
"I do like her like 'that!'" Goten looked Trunks square in the eye. "I just don't know how she feels about me! You know how her father is about us... what if she thinks like he does?"
"Goten, if she thinks like he does then we would probably be dead by now." Trunks laughed patting his friend on the back. "But I get your point."
"How do you think my father will take it?" Goten inquired, looking up at the sky and moving fluffy clouds.
"I don't think you should worry about your dad... I think if you brought a Saint Bernard home he wouldn't know the difference."
"Yeah." Goten agreed, nodding. "I shouldn't have said that it didn't matter... I just thought it would help her be not so embarrassed."
"Just ask her what she thinks..." Trunks suggested. "The worst thing she could do is say 'No I don't want you hairy slime ball.'"
"Actually," Goten said with a carefree sigh. "She could punch me, slap me with her tail, nail me into the ground, ki blast me-"
"Okay, okay!" Trunks admitted. "So she's stronger than the average girl... but you are a Super Sayijin remember?"
"Yeah... but I just want to ask her out, not beat her to death." Goten had a funny metal picture of him doing just that.
~WARNING: Goten is now daydreaming!~
Scarlet: (In Goten's arms punching him wildly) I'd rather die than go out with you! Help me somebody!
Goten: (holds her tighter) You have no choice my pretty! Go out with me or be illuminated. He he he!
Scarlet: (dramatically) Will no one save me?!
Goten was too busy giggling to himself to notice Trunks' bizarre look. "Goten, are you alright?"
He composed himself. "Yes, sure. (clears throat) I was just day dreaming."
"Yeah right." Trunks tittered. "I'll bet you were thinking about what you two were doing earlier!"
"Was not!" Goten screeched.
"Sure!"
"Argh!!!"
"What are you waiting for lover boy? Your lady awaits!" Trunks punched Goten shoulder playfully. "Oh, and if she is still in her fourth form when you see her you better say your sorry first or she will beat the crap out of you."
"Thanks for the advice."
* * *
*WHAM! SLAP! CRUNCH! BOOM!*
"Whaaaaa! I just came to talk to you!" Goten wailed.
"Sure! That's the reason you grabbed me!" Scarlet shrieked waggling her finger at him.
"I was an accident I swear!" Goten cried, keeping an I eye on her finger... and any ki beams that might come from it. "I wasn't looking and I thought I was grabbing the door handle!" He dodged a ki blast directed at his face.
"There are NO door handles on MY Ship!" She ran at him fists flailing around, beating him about the head. "You slimy jerk!"
"I'm sorry!" Goten grabbed her arms so she would stop slapping him... it didn't seem to effect her tail in the least.
Scarlet bared her teeth at him.
"No I really mean it. Look, I really do like you and I was sorry that I was such a creep to you. Especially after Trunks sort of walked in on us like that... besides... you said you wanted to touch me too remember?" His eyes took on a upside-down 'U' shape.
"You are the most insolent bitch I ever met!" She yelled into his face, finally she stopped struggling. "I wouldn't touch you if you paid me!!"
Goten's face darkened for a moment, before it went light once more. "Bitch huh? I'll make you eat those words my darling." His mouth suspiciously close to her own. She twisted her head at an angle so her lips wouldn't come in contact with his.
"I'm not your darling!" She hissed.
"What are you afraid of?" He inquired softly into her ear. She shuddered. "Have you ever been kissed?" When she didn't answer he laughed in her ear. "Old maid has never been kissed! Old maid has never been kissed!" He chanted. Scarlet ground her teeth and slapped him across the face with her tail.
"Shut up!"
"Want me to kiss you?"
"No!" But he tried it anyway, she twisted away from him gasping. "Why are you doing this to me?" She asked him miserably.
"Because you are my lady."
"Your lady?"
"Yeah, it's kind of a long story." Goten confessed.
Scarlet grinned sweetly. "Well, why don't you tell me about that and let my arms go right now!" She said forcefully, pulling a her hands away from him to no avail.
Goten laughed as she tried to move away from him, her tail twitching in agitation. "You will laugh if I ever told you."
Scarlet finally stopped, tired of trying to get her hands back. If he wanted to hold her all day long he could and she knew it. Damn you Son Goten. She thought murderously. One day I'll find a way to hurt you... then you'll be sorry.
Goten lowered his face to hers. "I heard that." He tweaked her nose. He dragged her over on the bed and threw her their. She jumped up ready to protest at being treated in such a manner but he stopped her. "You really want to know?" He asked.
She looked up at him and nodded shyly. She suddenly grew nervous as he took on of her hands between his, he spread it out and played with the lines he found there.
"When I was little..." He began. "I used to read books you see."
"Oh, very smart...." She teased.
Goten only smiled, pinching her side in retaliation. "Any way, I used to read these books about chivalry, King Arthur stuff." He went on. "I thought it all was kind of stupid, but papa didn't." He sighed ruefully. "He said that it was actually a good thing. He said that is was honorable to fight for your lady and all that other stuff."
"Okay." She nodded.
"After that I really wanted to be a knight. Although I knew I couldn't, you see, there really isn't any kingdoms anymore. There is nothing to fight for that if worth honoring these days." He dragged out. "Pretty silly, huh?"
"No it's not." She admitted. "It was just your dream Son Goten, all of us had them when we were little. Even my papa, ne?"
"Yes." He nodded, feeling better. "What did you want to be when you were younger?"
"Be Queen of the Universe." Goten laughed at that. "It's not funny, I really did. My father drilled it into my head so much that at one time I really wanted to be... With my father at my side."
"You wanted to marry your father?!" He voice boomed out.
"Well," She shouted. "I was little wasn't I?! I didn't know the difference! He was nice to me and I loved him." She looked at his with slanted eyes. "How about you? Who did you want to marry when you were younger?"
"I really don't want to tell you." Goten's face flushed.
"It must have been worse than me or you wouldn't be so red in the face." Scarlet tittered. "Who was it?"
"Trunks." He never thought he would hear so much laughing.
"Bwah ha ha ha!" She couldn't stop the flow of tears.
"Yeah, I told my dad one day when I was three and he said that that might not be a good idea. I asked him why and her told me. I'm just glad I didn't tell Vegeta-San... he would have beaten my ass for good."
"Three years old?" She calmed.
"I guess you really don't think about having sex when you are little do you?" Goten chuckled. "Now that I am older I'm thinking about it allot."
"You better not get any ideas." She poked him with her finger. "Silly boy."
"Why would I want to make love to a lizard like you?!" He challenged.
"LIZARD?! Take that knave!" She slapped him around a bit, tossing him about her room. Of course he wasn't in any pain when she was done.
Goten just got up dusted himself off, squatted down into a sort of sitting position and before she knew it, pounced on her. She trilled in surprise, then cried out as he bit her neck and started sucking.
"What are you doing?!" She said while giggling. "Stop! Hee hee hee! Stop it!" Her whole body was twitching, her tail pinned underneath one of his legs. Her chest hurt long before he was finished with her. "Miserable retch." She murmured to him.
"I can't wait to see the looks you'll get today!" Goten laughed with her, checking out the red mark on her neck.
* * *
Some where in deep space....
"I miss Scarlet-Chan." Cold complained. There was no grandchild to spoil anymore. Same thing went for Koola and Frieza. Things where so boring now without Scarlet running around breaking things or trying to goad them into some insane venture.
"Me too." Koola backed his father up. "I wonder what Frieza thinks about all this."
"Do you think that the Sayijins spared her?" Cold asked, looking at his feet. "She spent all of her energy sending us into space so we would not be killed."
"Yes, very strange. I don't know if any of us would do that for each other." Koola frowned. "I'm going to Earth."
"What?!
"I have to see if my niece is in good health. If the monkeys have excepted her I am fine... but I want her to visit." Koola looked into his father's worried eyes. "I know, but I will not challenge those... Sayijin. I'm sure they will not harm me as long as I do not attack."
"Oh course." Cold realized. "That Son Goku is the only one strong enough to defeat you, and he is the soft one, excellent." He smiled. "Proceed."
