Chapter 7: Forgotten Life

Goku stroked Chi-Chi's head waiting for her to wake. Although some minor… what the hell am I kidding minor? My wife's unconscious and… well presently the image of a sayjin. What the hell is going on I thought the simulator was just that, I didn't know it physically changed us according to what and where we were.

Stroking her face one last time, not all accepting his dark tanned, spiky haired, and muscle bound wife. She resembled Chi-Chi but it wasn't at all like he had imagined before.He hadn't done anything to Goten or Trunks. He couldn't hurt his children, and besides he was sure Bulma could have something worked out for this. It was all her science that had changed her of course she could be changed back. Kissing her forehead he left her there.

Walking out into the hallway instantly to be snagged in his legs by Goten and his crying, reaching down he pulled him up and against his chest hugging his son. "It's alright now, your mother's alive, and I'm alive. And I know Bulma can solve this, if it has to do with her inventions I know she can fix all of this." I hope…

Bulma had arrived not more then a few hours later, Vegeta had shown up earlier taking Trunks back to give him discipline, for first off thinking his ass knew better. And second not when specifically if there was a problem to get someone. It wasn't concern for Goku and Chi-Chi just that having Goku die again would put a hamper in his plans for a rematch in a few years…

The two were now in the bedroom Bulma lit up a cigarette as she looked over Chi-Chi. "Oh, well this isn't very serious Goku. It's just that if you would have exited properly the liquids would have drained out. I say in a few weeks she'll be back to normal as they are all excreted and runs its course. So don't think it too serious." She said smiling and patting his back.

"So anything else?" Goku asked as Bulma pondered for a moment. Tapping her chin for a moment she shook her head. "Okay well thanks Bulma, next time we'll let Gohan know to check in on the machine from time to time."

"That might be a good idea. Well see another time Goku." She said leaving the house and Goku alone. Gohan had taken Goten off with him to spend some time on a trip with him and Videl. Goku headed to the kitchen intent on whipping up a small snack for Chi-Chi once she regained herself.

Slowly black orbs opened up. A gentle groan escaped her lips as she re-awoke, a splitting headache greeted her and she covered her forehead as she rolled over. Pushing herself up slowly she got to her knees. Slowly her headache faded and she felt fine, her body recovering instantaneously. "Ohh where? Who?" She said groggily her hand rubbing her face as she tried to recognize where she was…or who… she was. "Hello?" She asked gently getting out of bed. Her sense of decency missing as she walked to the door opening it up slowly, letting the creak of the metal hinge hang out in the air. Taking out a few steps into the hallway on her toes, not wanting to disturb anything she walked slowly hearing a male voice close by she inched her way towards it.

Reaching the corner she peeked around the spikes of her black hair hanging out but she didn't notice as she looked upon a spiky haired man, his hands busy fumbling around with the stove and utensils. Scratching his head periodically as if stumped by what he was doing. "I really gotta pay attention to how Chi-Chi does all this, I didn't think it would be this tough." She heard him say as he rubbed his face with his hands.

She moved more her foot leaving a creak as she tried to walk around him but she could definitely see his ears faintly twitch and turn around as she swung her head around behind the corner. She took in a breath wondering if he saw her. She heard a clack of metal and she felt a breeze in front of her, his form just appeared and she shrieked at the sight of someone just popping in. She couldn't move before he had wrapped his arms around her and held her close. "Thank God your okay you had me worried." She heard him speak as he held her close his lips kissing her cheek. She flushed slightly but didn't return the affection… who is he?

Goku pulled back and looked at Chi-Chi smiling broadly. But he looked at her he saw something wrong with how she looked back. "Is something wrong? You look like you're scared of me?" He asked cocking his head to the side as he usually did when puzzled.

"Sorry… I shouldn't be scared but… well I don't know who you are." She said looking up as he started to laugh but stopped short as her gaze didn't even flinch in the least.

"You're serious? You don't remember me?" He asked pointing to himself and she nodded. "Chi-Chi…" He said but she cut in.

"Chi-Chi? My name is Chi-Chi?" She said as nodded. "Oh… sorry I shouldn't have interrupted." She bowed her head and looked up as he didn't even know what to say.

"I don't know what happened to you Chi-Chi but I'm your husband. We've been married for nearly two decades you don't recall this?" He said raising his finger to show her his wedding band and grabbed her own and she noticed the ring she was wearing herself. "You don't even remember our children do you either?" Again she nodded and Goku's head sunk.

"I'm a married mother… I can't believe all this. How can this all be? How could I forget all of this?" She said her eyes filling with water as she hugged the man who said she was married too. "What could have happened to me have forgotten so much?" She cried into his chest feeling consoling arms wrap around her back. "Can you help me remember?" She asked through her tears as she felt him grip her tighter.

"Chi-Chi I've lived enough time apart from you, I'll give you every minute I have left until you have your memory back." He said and she smiled and relaxed into his muscular chest. Even if she didn't know anything about who, where, and what was going on. She felt she couldn't be safer in the arms of this man…

Goku let Chi-Chi rest in the living room while going to gather her clothes leaving her in the room filled with the mementos of her past. She looked up at the pictures decorating the tables and mantles. It was her… she thought, a young woman black hair and some dark brown eyes, holding a child with the man who called himself Goku. It just looked strange, was she really the same woman?

I mean after all she had nice white creamy skin, a slender frame of course she could see the resemblance there. Her hips and bosom were similar except her she seemed to have larger breasts and a much more muscled frame. Her muscles were clearly visible and defined.

But as she looked at the picture it seemed familiar as she looked at the child, it was a very familiar feeling looking at what would be her child. But could this all be right? After all she didn't really resemble the woman in the photo. She looked soft, gentle and compassionate. Then she looked at herself, a very-

"Here Chi-Chi, I know these weren't your favorites because you said you looked fat in them sometimes but with your size now I'm sure they'll work better." He said offering her a pair of bra and panties, a t shirt and pants. All of which seemed baggy more or less she figured that they were for a pregnant woman.

"Thank you." She said slipping on her new clothes but oddly she didn't mind it as he stared at her, she thought he was maybe some pervert but he looked away but he kept his eye on her waiting for when it was okay although she felt a smile on her lips actually happy that he watched her. It was amazing that he was like this, instead of commenting on her looks he stayed his tongue. "Well… care to explain to me how I'm your wife?"

"It's a very complicated story, but well there was an accident that our son caused and we were both in some serious trouble and well I got us out but you on the other hand were knocked out for a few days." Goku said scratching his head unsure of what to really tell her. He hadn't been planning on this for sure.

"Well don't I look a little different from your picture?" She said holding up the photo of the woman and him and their baby. "Seriously you can explain why I look so different can't you?" She said knitting her brows as the notion that she could really truly be the same woman.

"That's just a side effect from the accident. You see we were trying out an invention done by a friend of ours, it well changed your body with some unexpected side affects. In a few weeks you'll look like this again." He said pointing his finger at the woman in the picture. "And I'll see if I can help you with your memories, if that doesn't work after awhile I'll just gather the dragon balls and restore them."

She sat there speechless her mind ticking away wondering just exactly how plausible this was. Accident? Freakish changes? Memory loss? Was it all possible? The only thing that held her back from laughing at such a notion was the fact was that he was looking at her with nothing but utter concern and care. After all she was in his bed, taken care of, she didn't appear to be battered or bruised. He was cooking food, and gave her clothes. It might not make sense logically but it was always possible…

"Chi-Chi?" Goku piped up after she hadn't responded. He touched her hand gently and curled his fingers around her. She looked at him, although now he had lost much of the ability to stare back and see her beautiful brown eyes. She looked like a doll with the gaze back but she was still his wife. Beautiful always, forever his and forever bound with his duty to keep her happy and at peace till death did them part naturally. Not the ever epic power struggle for good and evil as it had been with his deaths.

"Okay I'll believe you for now but you have to admit its rather perplexing with this kind of situation." She said as Goku shook his head.

"Oh no it's not, but of course you wouldn't remember them but once you do finally get your memories back you'll know what I mean." Goku said moving closer and wrapping his arms around her back his hands rubbing the tight drawn muscles now that covered his wife's back. The soft skin he had loved was gone replaced with strong steel flesh.

Chi-Chi only pulled herself closer resting her head against his shoulder as he tenderly rubbed her back with care. Slowly her eyes lowered as he went even lower and then she tensed.

Goku's hands stroked her tail with instinct in mind. He had relaxed against her and stroked her tail, he didn't know why but he felt like it would be right, after all she was sayjin presently she would loose it eventually might as well let her enjoy the feeling.

A low purr left her lips as she rubbed her head against chin approvingly. Her hands tightening around his back and she relaxed slumping now as she fell against him Goku laying on his back as he stroked her tail. "mmmhhh even if this is all untrue you'd be hard to leave, don't stop what your doing…" She moaned softly as Goku smiled and kissed the top of her head and didn't stop.
