Chapter 3
Chichi's Gone
"CHICHI! OH KAMI! CHICHI WAKE UP! PLEASE CHI!" Goku started weeping and holding Chichi close to him.
Gohan walked into the room and saw his father and his mothers limp body. "Dad what-hap-" Gohan saw the tiny baby crying on the kitchen floor. "Dad! Get the baby!" Gohan rushed over to get the blood cover screaming infant.
" Gohan get some warm wet cloth and bring them to me I'll cut the cord….Go!" Lori had entered the room.
"R-r-right" Gohan left to get the cloth but was also crying at this point.
" What are you doing?" Goku looked at Lori.
" Taking care of your new son. Since you're more worried about the dead human." Lori cut the baby boy's cord and picked him up.
" She- She's not…." Goku held back more tears.
" Yes sorry to say she is. She's lost way to much blood. But you should be happy. You have a new son and a strong one at that. Gohan! Where are those rags!" The saiyan girl shouted.
"I-I'm coming." Gohan ran in with a bowl of water that had hand towels soaking in it.
Lori grabbed the bowl and went to the counter to clean the still screaming boy. "Shhh…" She started humming a song to the infant and he went silent. His tail began to dance. Goku stood though he was still very upset over his wife's passing he too was calmed by the hypnotizing melody. Gohan listened and closed his eyes as to forget all the terror in front of him. "There…All clean and sleeping. He really should be fed." Lori turned and saw that Goku and Gohan were standing facing her in a trance. " Oh honestly. Snap out of it. You'd think you to had never heard a lullaby before."
"What…oh…yea I have but not like that it was so calming and…well it was just a wonderful feeling that came over me anyway." Gohan opened his eyes and seemed to remember what was happening.
"All saiyan's get that song sung to them. Otherwise the babies would run wild. It calm's them down." Lori turned her attention back to Chichi who was still on the floor. " Shouldn't someone move her out of here and dispose of the body? What's the custom here?" Her words came out cold and uncaring.
"Can't you show some respect! That's my wife you're talking about!" Goku powered up once again words made him furious.
"Forgive me I simply do-"
"Dad! Calm down she's right in away we do need to bury mom or call someone right? You can't be mad at her for not knowing how we do things here. She is from another word." Gohan went to his mother and brushed her hair from her face.
The front door opened Krillin and Yamcha came in. "Hey. So wha-" Krillin gasped as he saw Chichi's body on the floor. "CHICHI!" He rushed to her side.
"Oh man….what happened Goku?" Yamcha put his hand over his mouth and walked over.
Goku powered down and sighed. "She had the baby….and….she didn't make it." Goku fought more tears. "Gohan go outside you don't need to be in here Krillin…Yamcha go with him I'll clean up here and wrap her."
" Man I'm so sorry." Krillin stood up. "Come on Gohan lets get some air."
Gohan wiped the tears from his checks. " Alright. I guess I could use some." Gohan bent down and kissed his mother for the last time. "Bye mom- I love you." The eight year old turned and walked out with Yamcha. Krillin lingered for a moment. Not knowing what to say to make the scene any better the short man let out a long breath shook his head and walked outside.
"Here take him you really should." Lori handed the tiny boy to his father. " I'll get some thing to wrap her in"
"No I'll do it. Just give me a moment." Goku took the boy and held him close. He sighed as he looked down at his new baby that he had no clue what to do with.
"So what are you going to name him?" Lori had begun to clean up the blood that covered the floor.
"Goten….That was the name Chichi said she wanted if it was a boy." Goku let a tear fall onto the baby's cheek.
" Hum…Goten then that's a good name for him. He seems to have your hair." Lori continued to clean to no avail.
" Yea he does. Here take him." Goku stood up and wiped his face. " Take him outside. I'll take care of Chichi and clean up. Tell Krillin to call someone so I can make some kind of arrangement I'm not quite sure what to do."
"Right. I don't want to offend you but why do you care so much for this human? I'm only curious." Lori gently took Goten.
" She was my wife and she took care of me." Goku looked at Lori. " I'm not sure how to put it she was good to me and even though I didn't ever seem to make her happy she made me happy. I'm sad that she had to go. I don't know what to do now. How I'm going to care for him. Chichi took care of Gohan when he was that age."
"Don't worry to much. He is a saiyan after all. Even if he's only half he'll be fine I'm sure. I'm sorry for your loss." Lori went outside with Goten still asleep in her arms.
Goku picked up Chichi and put her on the table. He cleaned her and changed her clothes. Then he wrapped her in there best silk sheets. He mopped the floor and cleaned away all the blood from the room. 'There it's done.' He sat at the table and held his head in his hands and let his tears fall freely onto the silk sheet that held his wife's body.
Krillin came out side. Gohan was sitting on a rock beside Yamcha. "Are you okay, Gohan" Krillin put a hand on the boy's back.
" No, but I will be. I'm just going to miss her so much. Why did she have to go? I should have been here. I-I just can't believe she's gone…" Gohan felt a knot in his throat.
" Gezz… I just don't know what to say little guy. I'm not good at these kinds of things. I'm really sorry though." Yamcha looked at Krillin then back to Gohan. " But at least she's in a better place now and all."
" Just shut it Yamcha. Your right you suck at making people feel better. Know wonder Bulma left you." Krillin looked at Gohan.
The boy smiled a bit. "Its okay you two. I get your trying to get me to laugh. I appreciate it really." Gohan sighed. " But I don't think that it will work for long. I just need to be alone for awhile. Tell my dad I'm sorry but I have to go I'll be back in a day or so."
"No Gohan I can let you just go. Your dad would kill me." Krillin grabbed Gohan's shoulder.
" I didn't say you would let me go. I said I'm going." Gohan jerked away and took off.
"Oh man why me." Krillin took off after him.
"Hey wait up." Yamcha called after the bald man.
"No Yamcha you tell Goku what's going on I'll be back if I can't find him."
" Ok then." Yamcha turned to head back in the Son home when Lori came out holding the new baby boy.
" What happened? Where's the one you call Krillin going? I have a message for him from Kakorrot." Lori looked at Yamcha with a stern expression.
"Well- hum- He went after Gohan." Said Yamcha stuttering over his words. For some reason the saiyan girl made him extremely nervous.
" Gohan why did he leave? No one gave him that order." Lori had a military tone in her voice.
"Well h-h-he was upset about his m-m-mom and well he n-n-needed to be alon-ee." Yamcha backed away from the girl.
Lori sighed. " Here take Goten. I'm going after Krillin to give the message." She put the sleeping infant in Yamcha's arms and took off.
" Yea but….Oh now what do I do?" Goten woke and started screaming as before. " Great like I know how to take care of a baby."
Yamcha sat down on the rock as before. 'Gezz little guy be quite'. Yamcha tried to bouncing the baby but that only seemed to make Goten scream louder. ' I don't know what to do.' Yamcha though. ' I know I bet your hungry.' "But where am I going to find milk for a baby." Said the long haired marshal artist. ' Bulma….Yes Bulma. She'll know what to do.' So Yamcha took off back toward the Kame house to find his ex-girlfriend…
Lori caught up with Krillin and grabbed his leg. Krillin kicked her in the face from the shock of being grabbed and not knowing who it was. "Argh…Why did you do that?" The girl let go and rubbed her chin. " Sorry I didn't know it was you. I really wouldn't have done that if I had known." Krillin had some panic in his voice.
" Well I guess I shouldn't have grabbed you but I was just to easy." She laughed a bit. "Anyway, Kakorrot has a message for you. He said for you to call someone to make arrangements and that he wasn't sure what to do for the woman that died."
"Oh…Well I guess I'll just go back then I hope Gohan will be okay. Really don't like leaving him out here all alone." Krillin looked down.
"He's a saiyin. I'm sure he'll be just fine. But if you would like I'll find him and bring him back."
"No, not to offend you or anything I'm not completely sure if we can trust you yet or not. Just come back with me. Gohan grew up in these woods I just hope he comes back soon."
"Suit yourself. I'll follow you back." Lori rolled her eyes and followed Krillin back to Goku's house…
