Chapter 2: Blaze
Chichi emerged herself deeper into the waters of the drawn bath. Steam rose off her arms, joining the other swirls of heat in the air as she rubbed her tired eyes. It was just what she needed after the day she had. Kakarot had done a number on her emotions, leaving her feeling raw on the inside. Her mate had gone from straight up pissed, to sexual, to wide eyed and freaked the fuck out in less than five minutes. Not to mention her own mood swings.
A heat wave washed up the back of Chichi's neck, pulling her temporarily to reality. She gave herself another quick face rub and pulled herself up to sit on the side of the rock ledge to cool off. Hell, she couldn't even enjoy a bath even as the cool air brushed her skin. Chills finally raced down her spine, taking away the surprising hot flash. When the cool air reach her nipples, a groan slipped past her lips. Damn. What was going on with her body? Another heat wave assaulted her as if she were right on the verge of climax but not quite reaching it.
"Mmmph." Chichi muffled her moan into her arm when the ache between her legs bloomed, dripping and ready to be taken by her male. It was starting to become painful.
Okay. Time to get the hell out of the bath. The steam was clearly getting to her head. And where the hell was Kakarot? It was the middle of the night and he still hadn't returned after his father shuffled him out the door. She had given up on him for a meal and just fixed Gohan his usual favorites, refusing to eat herself by the lack of hunger. She knew she needed to eat to replenish the major calorie burn she did during training, but her stomach clenched at the thought of putting anything in it. After their sweet brat ate all his food like a good little warrior, Chichi washed him up and tucked him away for the night. It didn't take him long to fall asleep after the big day he had out with Bardock.
Chichi grabbed a drying cloth and wrapped it around her, using her tail to hold it on while she took another to dry her drenched hair. She wondered where her mate had ended up being this late into the night. Sleep was no where in sight for her. A restlessness crawling under her skin, anticipating for something to happen. But that wasn't going to be happening tonight, was it? Who knew when her mate would return. By the way Bardock ushered him as quickly as possible down the hall, it was no telling when he would be sneaking his way back in.
Another heat wave broke off that train of thought, her insides clenching and aching for something; for him. "What the fuck." The harsh whisper left her lips in a rush.
Willing herself to stand straight after nearly hitting the floor, Chichi escaped the heat and went straight for their bedchamber. Maybe she just needed to try and sleep anyways. The possibility of drifting off were slim by the way her body had been reacting in an odd way. Throwing the towels off of her, Chichi laid down on top of the sheets and tried to lay with the thick blanket over her for oooh, two seconds. Sweat broke out over her skin as she pushed it away.
Sleep. Please go to sleep. But it was no where in sight...
"Oh thank God," Chichi groaned into her shredded pillow. Stuffing and fabric trashed the floor of the bedchamber, as well as Chichi sprawled out panting. The hot flashes had finally subsided, leaving the sweat upon her body to cool her temperature. Between the swirling heat and ache between her legs, her poor pillow exploded from excessive clenching.
On trembling knees, Chichi sat up and gave the bed a glance and groaned. It didn't look any better than the pillow but at least the sheets that were balled up were still intact.
Okay, she thought, what the hell happened? One minute she was fine, the next she needed sex. It was making total sense. Not.
Once up on her feet, Chichi did a double check around the room to make sure she hadn't ruined anything else and straightened up the obscure mattress that was half way in the floor. She grabbed a fresh set of training gear, slipped the armored chest piece over her head and jumped into her boots as fast as possible. Kakarot never returned, leaving it up to Chichi to take care of their brat.
"Time to get up Gohan...oh you're already up."
"Hi Mama!" Gohan happily greeted her from the entrance to his bedchamber as he attempted to dress himself.
"And where are you planning on going today?" Chichi questioned and helped her son into brat-sized training pants.
After forcing his little leg in through the pants, he gave her a smile that looked just like his father, "To train!" Oh didn't that sound familiar.
Once fully dressed, Gohan raced to the door. "Hey! Wait for me!" Chichi called after him and chased her son out of their living quarters.
Bardock sluggishly made his way down the corridor, his brows drawn tight together as the annoying brat came running at him full speed.
Well, that makes things easier for me, he thought as Gohan stopped at his feet. Bardock was on his way to retrieve the little pest to further train the young Saiyan, just as he did when Kakarot was a brat. But after certain circumstances, the large male really didn't want to get any where near that female. Kakarot's mate had just came into heat, and the dangers of being around her weren't as high as they would be once she was further along in the cycle. Once a female went into heat, it fucked your brain up. Literally. All a male could think about is secluding themselves with the female and dared anyone to interfere with mating. It didn't matter if you disliked or hated them with a passion. You were still affected by the raging hormones they secreted. Luckily it only happened with already mated Saiyan's.
Kakarot seemed more than willing to do the deed, but the look on his face meant he was not ready for another brat. Most males wouldn't have cared and did it any way. Reproducing as many chances as they were given. But Kakarot had a different head on his shoulders. Thank God. They were not ready for another brat, like this one grinning up him as if he hung the bloody moon.
"Don't look at me like that. It's giving me the creeps." Bardock growled down at the little Saiyan but only got a wider smile in response. "Whatever." He could put up with the cheerfulness, just as long as he didn't run into-
"Oh, it's you, Bardock." Dammit.
Kakarot's female began getting closer, a little too close. By the looks of her, she had been running laps around the planet. Too bad she didn't smell like it. That damn scent wafted off of her in a rush that had him springing to life, and if the brat wasn't there, he would have given himself a swift punch in the crotch. He could have really used the mighty scent of rotten under arm right about now.
Doing the only thing he could think of, Bardock grabbed her brat and forced him under one arm to tote him away in a hurry. "Female, get back to your quarters immediately."
"Well, that's a lovely greeting, Bardock. Nice to see you too." She angrily bit out and crossed her arms. Apparently she wasn't getting the picture. Lucky him, she didn't have an inkling to look down his waist line. Another reason he scooped the brat up. "So where the hell did you usher Kakarot off too? I need to speak with him." Riiiight. There would be no discussion getting two feet near him if she sought him out. But knowing her, she would find him in a split second by sensing out his power level. She was looking to him to save her the trouble.
When a soft wave entered his nose, the scent was delicate and sweet. Oh fucking, shit. She was just in the early stages of the heat cycle. The really, really early stages. A growl vibrated through his chest, surprising not just himself, but the female as well.
No wonder Kakarot had that look on his face last night, Bardock grimaced.
Chichi's brow raised, "Are you okay?"
I'm fucking, fantastic. Just grand. I'm standing here, holding my grand-brat, sniffing my son's mate, and staring like a idiot with an erection I hadn't seen in a long ass fucking time. All thanks to you...Wait a minute. Maybe the female didn't know she was in heat in the first place. No...Surely she knew.
"Uh, so, I'm going to go now," She spoke as she backed down the hallway.
"Wait a minute. You don't realize?" His voice had lowered. Not a good sign.
She gave him an odd look, giving him his answer before she even said a word. Not. A. Clue.
"Realize what? Are you sure you're alright to take Gohan today?" She took a step, her anger beginning to boil in her eyes.
"Don't come any closer," he raised his free hand, only making the situation worse.
"What the hell is wrong with me? First Kakarot, now you! Did I transform into some ugly moon mole? Because you're looking at me like I grew a freaking horn in the middle of my face!" She raged on, "Do I stink? Don't act like I didn't notice you taking a whiff! So what is it?"
"You don't...you smell nice-"
"What?!"
Fuck. Where was his composure? Oh right. Down there in his other head.
"Wait! I didn't mean it like that female!" He backed up as she took a step closer, her power level increasing beneath the surface.
"Then what did you mean?!"
"This is something you should discuss with your mate." He groaned as his hand raked down his frustrated face.
When she growled furiously at him, Bardock took a long stride back, then another, and another. He had to get out of this fucking hallway before she went Super Saiyan on his ass. Which she was on the verge of. When all he received was a "fine," Chichi rushed past him, dragging her scent with her. May God have mercy on Kakarot for what was coming for him. The female was nothing but a walking, raging, hormone about to destroy anything in her path. Even if Kakarot was training soldiers today...Oh fuck! She was heading for the training grounds. Where there would be enough males wagging their tails and dragging their tongues to over power, even if she or Kakarot transformed. Fuck and fuck!
"W-wait!" Bardock called for Chichi, but she had already disappeared.
