Author's Notes: It took a bit longer but like I said I'm very busy with my personal stuff, but don't fear I'm still working on this, just a warning though the amount of updates will take longer and longer, but I will not abandon unless something major comes up that derail my plans. Oh maybe I should have mention this but this a Goku harem fic(probably the first).
Disclaimer: See Chapter 1.
As Uzume's word rang in Goku's head, the only thing his combat-adopted mind could come up with such a unusual event was, "Huh?"
"You my Ashikabi.", Uzume said as if that will explain anything.
Goku continued to stare blankly at her unable to comprehend a word she said. Then he remember something,"Hey you said you're No. 10?", Uzume nodded in response. "So does that mean your an Android like 8?
A look of confusion spread around Uzume's face, "A what, no! We are beings called Sekirei, who look for their chosen one, the one we react to, called Ashikabi, our mate.
However, that explanation did nothing but bring up more questions for Goku. "So what do you mean by 'Beings'? Are there more of your kind out there in the world? What do you do to your... As... As...Ashikabi? What do you mean by mate?"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, slow down there one at a time!". Uzume sighed, she should have known that there would be questions considering what happened would probably throw the poor guy world upside-down. "For the first one, we...are not what you call humans, we are aliens. I know that seems a little absurd but it the honest truth.", she finished with an expression that begged Goku to believe her.
She wouldn't need to bother doing that as Goku stared at her with awe and amazement, "That's so cool, I didn't think I would find anyone here that wasn't human."
"Eh." Uzume stood still, shocked that the man in front of her hadn't even batted an eyelash at her proclamation that she and her species were aliens. "Heh, you must be a big fan of Sci-fi novels and movies, anyway as for the second question, there are 108 of us, each looking for our Ashikabi for our way to Ascension, as for the other two, well our Ashikabi doubles as our mate, someone we will fight for, care for, and show our love for him, as a Sekirei bonded to their mate is one that will stay with them for as long as they live, like a relationship.", she finished with a loving smile on her face.
'Ascension?' Goku thought, then he remembered her finishing line, "A relationship? I'm sorry I don't know much of a relationship other than magazines and I what I heard from my friends.", Goku said as he scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
Indeed, Goku, being raised in the wilderness with Grandpa Gohan, haven't have much experience with things like love, marriage and relationships with the opposite gender, living with Gohan until his untimely death and with the arrival of Bulma which turn into adventure for the Dragon Balls and beyond did he start to get an inkling of the workings of relationships thanks to his friends, even though he still didn't understand most of them.
Uzume gasped, "Oh my, you mean you never been in a relationships before, the though of my Ashikabi being alone for the majority of his life is too much for me to bare!" Apparently taking Goku's statement a bit to far as she put one hand over her heart and put the back of her hand over her fore-head as she finished over-dramatically.
"Um, miss I think your taking it a bit too far it wasn't as bad as you...", however Goku was unable to finish as Uzume continued her over dramatization of Goku's life. "And to think I didn't even ask for your name, oh how shameful of me, would you please grace your identity to this shameful maiden?", still overacting over his statement, Goku couldn't help but wonder if she becoming one of those people Yamcha keep calling Bulma when Goku tend to make fun of the shows she watch. 'What's it called, screaming princess? Oh it's drama queen, she acting like a drama queen!', he thought.
Though the last time he saw Yamcha after that was when he was walking out of Capsule Corporation with a bag of ice over his private parts, limping the entire way.
Not wanting to suffer that kind of abuse Goku responded, "My name is Son Goku.", with a grin.
That seem to bring her out of her day dreaming of Goku's "tragic" lifestyle. "Eh, your named after Sun Wukong? You read 'Journey to West' huh, it a good book, but I don't think you want to name yourself after him."
Goku frowned, "Why do people keep saying that? My name is Son Goku, it the name my Grandfather, Gohan, gave me."
"Wow, you wasn't kidding when you said you live a sheltered lifestyle, that was a joke you know?", Uzume said with an raised eyebrow.
At that Goku blushed while scratching the back of his head, "Sorry, I'm not well versed in jokes." Often time Krillen, Yamcha, and Oolong would try to explain how a joke work and often fail in that regard. He was about to say more when a loud rumbling echoed throughout the streets for a while before stopping.
"Holy crap was that an earthquake?" Uzume exclaimed, looking around before she heard Goku chucking.
"Sorry, I haven't ate in a while and I don't have any money.", Goku said as he scratched his head in embarrassment.
Uzume only smiled as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a shiny card with the MBI engraved on it, "Not to worry, I got you covered!"
"Are you sure it would be alright, I have quite the appetite.", Goku asked.
"So do we, believe it or not we Sekirei eat more than humans due to our metabolism, so trust me your appetite isn't anything we haven't seen."
Uzume would soon regret those words.
Scene Break
They went to an all you can eat Japanese restaurant and Goku, not versed in Japanese culture, has trouble identifying the different kinds of food that he has never seen before, but due to his grumbling stomach he decided to throw caution to the wind and he, along with Uzume, even though it took a while to put past her disbelief, proceed to devour the entire restaurant's food supply.
Scene Break
Goku and Uzume was walking out of the restaurant with a satisfied expression on their face as Uzume's arm wrapped around Goku's putting it firmly between her chest even though Goku didn't seem to notice. Behind them was a weeping restaurant owner changing the sign in front of the entrance from open to closed. They both was patting their stomachs as both of them let out a loud burp simultaneously before looking at each other in shock before letting out a chuckle.
"Wow, I have never seen a human each as much a Sekirei much less out eat one, you must have been starving!" Uzume said as she smiled up at Goku.
Goku would have chosen to correct Uzume that he's not a human, but as memories of his past surfaced on the last time he mention his Saiyan heritage, Bulma has to spend over an hour trying to convince the authorities that he was not crazy, so he responded, "Well I told you I haven't ate in a while."
"Yeah define a 'while', a month?", Uzume joked with a smirk on her face. "Anyways, why don't we go to your place to burn off this excess fat we are gaining?", she suggested sensually.
Of course Goku being Goku failed to pick up the implied suggestion replied, "Well...I don't really have a place so um...", he trailed off.
Uzume stopped cold pulling Goku's arm "You don't have place? Well I know of a place that you can stay for a while a long you're able to pull your own weight around the place." she said with a little of disappointment in her voice, 'Dang it, if we live with Miya I won't be able to do half the stuff I been planning for us', she thought.
"Really, I would really appreciate it, I would do my best to contribute around the place." Goku responded.
With a nod Uzume led Goku to what would be the place he would be spending the majority of the time living and defending.
