Hello guys, okay, this little story here just popped up in my head as some of you wanted one with Kakarott in it and a bit of more mature stuff. So yes, this story is going to contain lemon and I'm only going to write on it if I have the muse for it, so to say. As the chapters are going to be a little longer I really want to do this right. Well, we'll see how the flow of the story's going on from now on.
As I'm still working on other stuff, it might take some time to post the chapters for this one. It's not priority :) But either way, it's fun writing another M!
I hope I don't mess this up! I'm excited as hell presenting you a story with an actual rather dark-souled Goku :D

Have fun reading!

A timeless affair

Chapter 1 – Unexpected encounter

Help needed – an absolute unique experiment needs temporary workers for gathering important information regarding the project "Timeless Progress", sponsored and developed by the Son Corporation. Applications should be made personally at Tuesday...

Looking at the piece of paper Chichi had found in between the letters of her mailbox she frowned and switched her gaze from the paper back to the building before her and back to the small flyer. She had no idea why this little thing had landed into her hands; maybe she was just lucky enough to receive it.

And desperate enough to actually follow it.

Yet, breathing in deeply, Chichi wasn't sure about what to do. Should she go in or shouldn't she?
She had to admit she was quite interested in this experiment as she knew the Son Corp. and constantly was following their blog with eagerness.
Sighing, Chichi put the flyer back into her bag and shook her head. 'I should stop daydreaming and concentrate on my studies first!', she reminded herself. Sure, it had always been her dream to work for the Son Corp. and she had sent more than one job application to them!

But unfortunately it was impossible to apply for a job at all. She had tried it many times by now but her applications always came back – unopened and unread.

And now it should be that easy with just this little piece of paper? She wondered about that…

She ruffled her hair and cursed under her breath as she still didn't know what to do. Looking at the big front door made out of glass she followed the letters with her eyes that were written on the top of it: "Your present's decided by your future."

Gripping her bag, Chichi inhaled deeply and made her first steps. A try shouldn't hurt, right? She could just walk in, look around and leave again…

Once the automatic door closed behind her and she was welcomed by a cool climatic breeze, she looked at the silver shining reception which was about six meters long and glittered freshly polished. The waxed floor made out of grey marble mirrored her shivering self and Chichi recognized just how nervous she was. Stepping towards the receptionist – a small lady with a professional smile grazing her lips – she heard the click of her shoes being reflected by the walls and the high ceiling.

"Hello. How may I help you?" the woman questioned her friendly. Her light blue blouse was perfectly straight and Chichi suddenly felt very underdressed.

"Uh…hi." She tried to smile just as beautiful as the receptionist did and probably failed. "I'm here to apply for the experiment regarding your project "Timeless Progress". I got this flyer and – "

"Yes, of course." She announced and cut off Chichi's sentence as if she knew exactly why she was here, handing her one piece of paper and a pen, her fake smile never leaving her face."Just fill out this sheet. And don't be afraid, it's just a common questioning document."

Taking everything with a small "Thank you" Chichi looked through the questions they wanted to be answered.

Name – Chichi Ox
Origin–China
Age– 24
Profession – Student at T-University. Mastering in future technology and applied psychology.
Family status – Single
Special abilities or talents – Cooking, Martial Arts (Judo, Kendo and different offensive Styles)
What are you applying for – Experiment for project "Timeless Progress"
Why do you want to apply –

She halted and tapped the pen on the paper for a few times. Why did she want to apply? She absolutely had no idea how to answer that one. Sure her dream had always been to work here but that's not something you should write down. And this one was just a simple experiment, she wasn't going t receive any money for it. Or anything.

Scratching one of her eyebrows with her left index finger, she wondered what to write down. Was it important to answer that one now? What was a job interview for if not for answering questions like that? Why telling beforehand then?

Chichi glanced at the lady who tipped something on her keyboard and into the screen of her PC.
"I'm sorry?" she took her out of her concentration.

"Miss?"

"Do I have to answer all of those questions?"

"If you want the authorization for a job interview, I'm afraid you do have to answer all of them, yes."

"I see…"

"Is there a problem with the sheet?"

"No! No." She shook her head and concentrated on the last question again. "Everything's fine." She added absentmindedly and wrote down her answer: "Sudden desires are not explainable."

Chichi sighed. She was so going to get rejected…for a simply experiment!

"Please follow these stairs to your right. Once you've reached the second floor turn right and enter the third room to your left. You will have to wait for a short amount of time. My colleague will take care of you afterwards." The lady explained shortly after Chichi had given her the small sheet back, not really knowing what was happening at all.

Thanking her, she followed the description to the second floor and landed in a room – what was apparently a waiting room – and sat down on one of the chairs. She was alone and analyzed unsurely and with a growing mistrust the walls and the poor decoration. It couldn't be that she was the only one here, regarding this thing, could it? Not even on the floor had she witnessed another person ghosting around. Her heart pulsated nervously.

Playing with the material of the bag she waited until another door opened and another young woman signalized her to follow her. This lady too was smiling her beautiful yet very fake smile while showing the young girl around.

"This way, Miss Ox." She addressed her curtly and Chichi was surprised how fast the lady had been informed about her name. They entered a little lift – looked rather private to Chichi – and waited for the number to switch to floor 53. Opening the door after a minute the woman led Chichi inside a room only to close the lift right behind her again.

Turning around startled she noticed that the lady hadn't followed her inside.

Turning again towards the inside of the room she noticed a person standing with his back to her, looking out of the big window which basically dominated the whole wall.

Chichi gulped coherently.

"Hello?" she tried to get his attention yet got none. As her uncontrolled temper was just about to explode due to the weird behavior inside this building she stomped forward until she reached the chair for guests. Her admiration for the Son Corp. was shrinking to an absolute minimum! Straightening her back, she was just about to say something again as he suddenly answered.

"The view from above looks marvelous, doesn't it? You can just see how time flies by while observing the people from up here."

Taken aback by his words Chichi stuttered. "Uh..uhm…I…I don't…huh….?"

He saved her from blabbering nonsense by speaking himself: "It's sad to know that nobody really thinks about the use of time, don't you think? And still they're always crying there's not enough of it." Turning around the elder man in his black suit sent her a beautiful charismatic smile. He was probably in his seventies, had an awfully gentle expression and looked horribly cute in his business suit. He was smaller than Chichi, had grey hair and a bushy beard just above his upper lip.

With his hands behind his back he walked towards the girl, still smiling nonchalantly.

"Miss Ox, I presume?" he addressed her friendly and showed her one of his outstretched hands. Taking it rather weakly she shook it with a small movement.
"My name's Son."
Son? So he was the president, wasn't he? Chichi felt her face losing color and was just about to pass out from sudden nervousness. She was speaking with the head? Personally?

'What is going on here?!' she screamed in her head.

"My pleasure." She choked out and couldn't stop her voice from breaking.

His warm laugh brought her back to reality as his hand was still holding hers in a soft grip. "Don't panic, I won't bite."

Chichi just was able to nod slowly and felt lost as he let go of her hand again.

"I hope your arrival has been pleasant?" he small-talked.

"Oh yeah, thank you. Everyone was very nice to me." She half whispered out of respect.

"Glad to hear that." He answered honestly before he sat down and gestured her to do so too. Sitting down opposite of him she waited for him to speak up.

"So...you want to participate in one of our experiments?" he straight came to the point and grinned at her cheekily. She frowned as she answered him that she had found the flyer about the project in her mailbox just this morning. And she told him that she had been interested in their company ever since, so that's why she came here to give it a try.

'Although I might just think it was a bad idea coming here…'

The old man just nodded happily at every word Chichi said.

"Well then!" he clapped his hands just after she had finished talking what didn't last longer than one minute. "Welcome to our team."

"Huh?" Chichi looked at him dumbfounded. "But you haven't questioned me anything at all…I don't…" she shook her head disbelievingly.

He smiled. "The only question I have is: Should I show you the room you're going to work in?"

Her mouth fell open. The nagging sound in her head completely ignored by her. Who the heck cared that everything went quite strange in here?

Yes, alright, she behaved naïve there…

"Are you sure?" Chichi whispered and got a light laugh as an answer before he stood up from his desk and went past her. Seeing him leave his office she was rather slow in following him as her brain couldn't keep up with everything.

With his hands behind his back again he entered the lift still smiling. Standing beside him she couldn't stop playing with her bag. Chichi was nervous, happy, confused and still couldn't believe any of this.

She obviously was allowed to work for him. If only temporarily.

She was allowed to work for the Son Corp.

For real.

Looking at the number just above the lift-door which got smaller any second she tried to distract herself while the silence was just about to kill her. She swore you were able to hear her thoughts and questions circulate in her brain!

"We're here." Mister Son's soft voice startled her. The number had switched to "U5" and Chichi knew they were rather deep under the ground. Breathing in deeply she nodded and watched the door open up. The hallway was highlighted by a weak light and you hardly could made out structures or the texture of the wall. Every step they made was echoing back and gave her the feeling that there absolutely was nothing except the both of them. She had goose-bumps on her arms as she could felt a sudden cold breeze.

Chichi was questioning herself if she really had done the right thing.

If she had to scream down here nobody would probably hear her. Her mouth became dry. Gazing at the back of the old man Chichi tried to focus on his movements as he wasn't keen about speaking at all.
The more they got forward, the colder it got.
Chichi didn't know how long they were wandering around in this darkened corridor but she was slightly getting impatient and the alarm clock in her head was permanently on tour now.

"I'm sorry." Chichi indicated a conversation after what felt like ten minutes. "But what exactly is the content of this project?"

"Time."

"Uh, time, Sir?" she frowned.

"Exactly."

The conversation ended as fast as it had started and Chichi was even more clueless than before. Maybe it would have been a better idea to turn around and flee? But there was no time now, basically, to think about running away anymore!

Still wondering what he had meant she almost stumbled over him as he suddenly stopped after another five-minute-walk in front of a massive door. Chichi had to lean her head into her neck to follow it right to the top. This door looked as if it was made out of tempered steel. Normally you would see those kind of doors in movies where they try to hide something dangerously behind it.

"Uh, Sir?" she interrupted him just as he was able to tip in a code into the little keyboard on the right side of the steel-door. "Is this thing here functioning as a firewall, or….?"

"This is the door of your…temporary office." The raspy old and gentle voice of the president explained to her matter-of-factly and Chichi hardly was able to stand anymore.

"This thing?" she pointed at it disbelievingly while Mister Son confirmed the code and the steel slowly gave way to present her a totally illuminated and white room. She stood there with wide eyes. What in the world did she get herself into?!

Chichi had the urge to turn around and run away. Absolutely!

"Uh…you know, I think it's better if I leave after all…." she whispered as she couldn't stop looking at this massive thing in front of her. Now she got cold feet. And her knees were shaking dangerously.

"Look inside." he kindly made a gesture to sign Chichi, she should go in first. She looked at him unsurely. Honestly, she didn't want to go inside. She had the feeling this man was trying to trick her into something!

"Uh…"

"Just one look. You can still decline the offer after seeing the inside." He smiled warmly as he pleaded. The president of her Oh-so-favorite-company pleaded!

'Why do I have this strange obsession anyway?!', she scolded her mind desperately.

Chichi gulped. She couldn't refuse him now, could she? So she made her first steps to glance inside. And she just was inside of the room with her head only as she got a light push from behind, stumbled over her feet and landed with her face flat on the white ground.

Standing up Chichi cleaned her pants with her hands. "How embarrassing…" she mumbled to herself as she turned around, readying herself to see a laughing president behind her.

Yet everything Chichi saw was that the door had gone. Wondering she turned her head around. "Mister Son?"

No reaction.

"Sir?"

White, white and more white.

"Hello?"

Absolutely nothing.

"I think a blackout is absolutely appropriate…" she assured herself aloud as she started to hyperventilate and fell down without another comment.

Kakarott had heard the door before she even was opened. Wondering what the old man was up to now he made his way through the whiteness towards the location of the massive door which was the only way out of this "room". He had been in here for almost five years now, preparing and training by himself. He liked it in here; he had enough time to become stronger as his instincts told him that he would need his full strength someday. Although he couldn't really predict what for.

But this room was created especially for him, opening only after exact one year for him to get out. Not that he wanted to get out. But it was rather convenient to get some supplies before closing the door once again.

Yet today was not after one year and he didn't need anything particular.

Unable to suppress the growl in his throat he let out an animalistic sound as he saw an object lying in the distance. The dark colors of it a hard contrast to the blinding white he was used to see. He had been living on earth for almost twenty years now - the five years excluded - but he wasn't really familiar with the species still. The only person who ever was allowed to come close to him was the old man who had adopted him as he had landed on earth as a child. And even if other persons might have had the opportunity to come close to him, they wouldn't dare. Everybody else was afraid of him, and he was rather pleased with that.

A snarl escaped his lips as suddenly the scent of a female crawled up his nostrils and he had trouble to control the anger flooding his system – or the sudden arousal. He might be someone who liked his peace but he was still a man with needs. Although he hated to admit that.

The hair on his neck stood straight as soon as he stood before the unconscious woman. The way she laid on the floor looked uncomfortable but Kakarott couldn't care less about her sleeping habits.

She was here and he didn't want her to be here. End of discussion.

He had to contact his self-announced father and tell him to retrieve the woman. Nodding to himself, Kakarott wanted to turn around to finish this business as he suddenly heard her moan in distress. He huffed as he glanced down at the female. This caring-thing was really nerve-wracking but somehow he had adapted to that behavior while staying on earth for too long. He simply couldn't help it.

So without another word he kneeled down to a crouch and slapped her on the cheek with the back of his hand in order to wake her up. He tried to lessen the strength in his hit but as soon as he had touched her, her eyes snapped open and she held her hurting face while rolling to the side in pain. Her muffled cry was perfectly ignored by him.

"Woman." He addressed her rather unfriendly and she stilled as she heard his voice talking to her. Her back was turned to him and she had to incline her neck to see him. Her black orbs were wide open in wonder and one single tear snuggled itself perfectly in the corner of her left eye. Staring at him she looked quite confused. Her breathing accelerated as a thought probably hit her and she fanatically started to scan the area without a second glance to Kakarott.

"The door!" she whispered as she scattered to her feet and walked a few steps away from him. "Where's the door!" waving around with her tiny hands she tried to grasp the air. Kakarott lifted one of his eyebrows. Was she actually trying to pantomime or what…?

"No no no no no no no!" she mumbled in front of herself as she still tried to find that stupid, freaking massive steel door! Massive steel doors don't just disappear like that! Taking off her shoe she threw it against the whiteness of the room in order to find the wall but she watched in pure horror as her shoe kept flying.

Until it landed with a low sound on the ground about fifty meters away from her.

She looked at it in silence.

"You have to be joking…" she half laughed out of desperation before she groaned aloud and made the whiniest noise she had ever produced. All of this was just so not happening!

Kakarott had to hold in a growl as the panicked woman was slightly getting on his nerves. Maybe it would have been better to let her continue sleeping. Standing up he flared up his aura as he felt rather ignored by the intrusion which was walking up and down and talking to herself.

"Hn." He commented as he questioned himself why in the world he even was still here watching her stupid behavior. He had woken her up, which should be sufficient. Now he could concentrate on getting rid of her. He just wanted her there where he wasn't.

Turning around he stomped away from the grieving woman although her presence was still very clear in his mind. He let out an angry snarl as she cried a rather loud "Let me out!" that ringed in his sensitive ears. But before he was able to allow his beast to just grip her neck, he stilled it and kept on walking away shutting her out of his mind. Killing her would probably solve the noise-problem but he somehow had no intention of spilling her red substance on the floor. He didn't want to clean up afterwards. Or hear someone complain about it.

So he went away with his original plan in mind.

Until her other shoe landed a hit on his back.

Chichi stopped pulling her hair in despair as she felt a rather strong aura walking away from her. Oh right, the hallucination she had when she woke up! How could she forgot about it so quickly? And why was it running away from her? It was her hallucination, so it should feel the responsibility to stay with her while she was freaking out!

"Don't!" she actually yelled after it. Oh…she must have hit her head when losing consciousness or why else was her cheek hurting that badly? Although it had felt like a horrible slap.

Breathing in again, she stood there with her destroyed hairstyle and with only one shoe left on her feet. "Hey!" she shouted at him again. But the man wasn't hearing her at all. Why was she imagining a man anyway? Well, she had had an erotic dream last night with a man she never had met before, but that he would return to her so soon was a mystery even to her.

Cleaning her face free from the tears she felt her temper grow. Why in the world was every male person ignoring her? Even her own fantasies! Making a noise that sounded like the growl of a little puppy, Chichi took her other shoe and threw it at the direction her hallucination was walking off to. When she actually heard the object hitting the soft back of him she looked at the person standing there with wide eyes.

She got him? Her shoe didn't go through him? So that meant he was real?

Oh for god's sake!

Gasping as she held in another sob that rippled through her body she started to run towards the man instinctively, ready to pull him into a big embrace as she wanted to thank the gods that she wasn't alone in here!

Yet the only thing she met was a big, rough hand around her neck holding her up.

"Yeah, real! Definitely real!" she choked out as she scratched and ripped at the arm holding her up. She couldn't breathe!

"Woman, cease your struggling!" the man hissed as he looked at her with angry eyes. He was angry at her? Because she had hit him with a tiny shoe, size 6? If she thought her temper was bad than his was even worse.

Feeling her vision become blurry rather quickly she tried to focus on the dark eyes. "Can't breathe…!" she pressed out. "Let go…! Please!" Her legs swung in the air as she tried to kick him. Well, she landed a powerful one against his chest but it apparently didn't hurt him at all.

Her nails bored themselves still into the skin of his arm although he felt the pressure weaken rapidly. Blinking a few times he cursed under his breath as he opened his hand and let her go again. His beast had to go back in his cage or he would really strangle her to death. And he still had no desire to kill the woman whose neck felt incredibly soft, he had to admit annoyed.

Chichi just sat there on her butt and tried to teach her lungs again how to inhale as her eyes focused on his black boots. Maybe her life had turned dramatically upside down now, but she still was able to understand that he had almost killed her! And look at him! He was standing right before her without saying anything!

As her temper quickly took the pain on her neck away she glared up at him and with her last strength flipped her body until her leg collided with his feet as she indented to make him fall down himself! Yet as he still continued standing there like a rock she tried to kick him again.

And again.

Until her shin started to turn blue. Gritting her teeth she looked up at him in frustration. "At least have the sense of decency and fake a fall, damn it!" Chichi cried out with her dry throat, feeling completely embarrassed by his unemotional stare. Her cheeks turned red as her frustration once again hit her poor self and she sniffed a few times before she tried to blink the tears away.

'Oh just let this be a horrible, horrible dream!' she cried in her head as she buried her face in her palms.

Kakarott on the other hand had to hold in a roar of frustration himself as the weeping female began to start her self-pitying once again. Well, he was impressed that she actually had tried to challenge him. She obviously wasn't as weak – if only physically – as her gender normally was. But if she wouldn't stop assaulting his presence with her constant crying his beast would attack her again!

"Woman!" he barked as she wouldn't stop sniffling and the salty scent hit his nose like poison. His beast rumbled inside of him and he kneeled down in order to shake her out of this disgusting state. "Stop your crying this instant or I might do worse than just strangle you!" he warned her and was rather surprised as her eyes shot him death glares although she still hiccupped loudly.

"Don't tell me what to do, you big stupid, horrible, arrogant gorilla!" she yelled at him with her still very dry throat as she slapped his hands away only to slump down seconds after again. He was dumbfounded. Nobody had ever dared to say anything like that to him!

"Oh why did I agree to this experiment…" she whispered as she robbed away from him and encircled her legs, hiding her nose between her knees. "I should have stopped going inside…" she talked to herself. "… I shouldn't have walked into the building. I shouldn't have followed him willingly to the basement. Above all I really shouldn't have looked into the room. A massive door is always dangerous, Chichi! You have watched more than one horror movie, you should have known better!" she scolded herself.

"Woman…" Kakarott now growled dangerously. He didn't really get her blabbering, and he didn't even want to know, but she obviously didn't want to be here. And he didn't want to have her here. Yet her constant talking was driving him nuts! And the fact that she wasn't scared of him just angered him additionally!

"One day your curiosity's going to break your neck." She continued without considering listing to him. "But don't panic, now. Don't panic…Just search for a solution. Stay calm and find a way…You can do this!"

Alright, now he had had enough! She wasn't listening to him at all and he hated non submission more than too much noise! His "father" absolutely had to take her back. Right now! Grabbing her arm forcefully he ignored her scream perfectly as he took her with him.

"Let go!" she yelled as she punched his hand. "You're hurting me!" and another punch hit the back of his hand. He smirked slightly as she actually tried to cause him pain, yet was unable to do so…stupid woman. His species was unable to feel any kind of agony. Yet as a strangely comfortable sensation crawled from the back of his hand down his entire body, he growled dangerously.

Turning towards the female he saw her biting into his hand with full force. She actually did that?! He never had heard of a human woman to bite others! As he still refused to let go of her and continued dragging her with him she started to make her puppy-growl and sunk her teeth even more into his skin.

He naturally would never admit it, but the creature amused him. In a strange way.

"Woman, I've told you before to cease your struggling." He repeated in his unemotional deep voice before he grabbed her around her waist and threw her over his shoulder, making her shriek in surprise. The more she pulled to slow him down the more she provoked him to run. His hand actually had started to bleed lightly, and he didn't like that sight at all as it aroused him dramatically. He bared his teeth in an animalistic movement as he encircled her legs with his arm and speed up to reach his "basement". This might have been a white room with no walls, but even here you needed some comfort like a bed, a fridge and a bath.

Meanwhile her little fists pounded into his back. "Let me down, bastard!" she said each word between one of her punches. "Let me down! I want to get out! Take me back to that stupid door!"

Stopping her assault on his back as he wouldn't react at all she sighed as all strength left her. "I don't want to do this stupid experiment anymore!" she announced like a little child and wiggled her feet as good as she could as she was being held up by the stranger who suddenly had to grab the underline of her butt as she slightly started to slip off from his shoulder.

"Stop moving." He ordered harshly as the softness of her behind surprised even him. Five years of absolute abstinence were suddenly very clear in his mind and he cursed under his breath as a movement down below reminded him of something he had tried to forget. He harrumphed.

The sooner she was gone the better!

Reaching his goal finally and throwing her off and onto the floor gladly he stomped towards the little transmitter that looked like an old-fashioned phone. He put the hearer on his ear and waited for someone to answer it. She wanted to be gone, he wanted her gone – now someone just had to understand their wishes and the case was closed. So he waited for someone to pick up.

In the meantime Chichi looked at the simple bed and the rest of the small interior with wide eyes. 'Oh what in the world….is that?'

"You have to be freaking kidding me!" the angry hiss of the person beside her took her back to reality – or to her awful realistic dream. She still couldn't understand what was happening. And obviously her previous hallucination couldn't either as he was staring at the hearer of the phone in disbelief. He crashed it down on the base with full force – breaking the table it was standing on in one go yet the phone was magically still intact - before he looked at her with a furious expression. But instead of being afraid of him, he only provoked her to snap.

"What?" she hissed as he wouldn't stop looking and she felt how this guy did not want to have her around. Not that she wanted to be around, too. But instead of saying anything he exhaled loudly as he narrowed his eyes, turned around and stomped away, leaving her alone and confused as she watched his figure becoming a little dot in the distance.
