Goku simply stared at her as he slowly raised from the bed.
"You want...a divorce?" He asked.
"Yes. It's the most logical and sensible thing to do. Neither of us are happy and-"
"I'm happy!" Goku snapped.
"Then I'm the only one not happy," Chichi corrected. "It's the best thing to do."
"For who!? For you, you mean?"
Chichi's eyes narrowed, hatred boiling inside her. "And so what if it's good for only me? When have I ever done anything just for myself? When have you ever sacrificed something for us, your family!?"
"I died for you!"
"No, you died for the world. Dying didn't help us, your closest people, in any way. Gohan was fatherless and Goten was raised fatherless! Me? I was widowed. I was alone. Again! Alone to raise another one of your children!"
"Do you know how ridiculous you sound? You count as part of the world, Chichi!"
"I don't want to be part of the world, Goku! That's my point! You've never done anything for me, just Chichi. No, always the world. I was the last person you ever thought of. When we tried to wish you back to life, no! You wanted to stay dead to train!"
"If I was brought back to life, the world would have been in danger again!"
"Yeah, right! It's not like you are known all over the Universe that evil decides, 'Hey, let's go kill Goku, one in a gazillion men who kick ass'. Besides, I'm pretty sure that even if they did come while you were gone, they wouldn't just think, 'oh, Goku's not here? We'll come back later'. Your thought process is astounding. Really, it is."
"What about you then? What have you given up for me?"
"My life!" Chichi screamed and finally, tears fell for the first time in years. "I gave up everything for you," she choked. "I gave up my kingdom, my title, my fighting, my freedom!"
"I never asked you-"
"Marriage doesn't require you to ask. You should just know, just do. You're supposed to do everything for love and I did. I loved you and I gave up everything to be with you."
The house became silent aside from her sniffling.
"Now I have a chance to start again. I have my life back and this time, I'm taking it and I won't give it up. Not for you or anyone else. This is my life and I deserve it."
She let out a broken laugh.
"You didn't even know I had been kidnapped and tortured, did you?"
Goku paled.
"I just can't be with you anymore. But think of it this way, now you can go where ever you want, when ever you want for as long as you want. I won't be here to nag or whine or attack you."
She stepped forward and gave him a wet kiss for the last time.
"I'm sorry, but I can't be Son Chichi anymore. I need to just be Chichi now."
As she walked out the door, she heard the words from him she always needed to hear as she took off.
Tears fell from her eyes as she entered the clouds and made her way back to the Ox Kingdom.
"Me too, Goku. Me too."
I love you, Chichi, and I'm sorry.
How'd you like it? I'm trying to make it more emotional. I know when I first started this, it lacked emotion as pointed out by gue22
They are right as I was re-reading it and it annoyed me so I'll fill it with so much emotion, you'll cry!
Love,
Dii
