Here's the seventh chapter. I really like writing this story. The cuteness makes me happy. I had a dream about a Goku/Vegeta fic that I'm not sure exists and if it doesn't I will write it because it was really cute.


After Bulma left, Kirei and I 'napped' on the new mattress.

When I say 'napped' I mean we made out more.

"How are things this soft?" Kirei is sitting on the new mattress, bouncing on it lightly.

"Well, you've been alone for a while. I doubt you had giant soft beds as a luxury in the woods." I'm laying on my back, hands behind my head, talking to the ceiling.

She flops straight down onto my hard stomach. Small stray hairs out of her braid tickle my skin. I reach one of my hands down and put it on the joint of her neck and jaw, running my thumb in small circles on her pale skin.

She purrs and pushes her neck into my touch. I chuckle and glance down at her, seeing her eyes closed and a small smile on her face. I look back to the ceiling and smile, happy that things panned out the right way.

Kirei suddenly sits up and lays parallel to me, placing her hand on my chest and laying her head on my shoulder. She sighs.

"Goku?"

I turn my head toward her, brushing my lips against the tip of her nose. "Yeah?"

"What did Bulma mean when she said you saved the planet?"

My heart jumps in my chest. I hadn't mentioned to her anything about the past.

"Oh, um." My eyes stray back to the roof. "I guess I haven't told you, huh?"

"Told me what?" Her hands runs up and down from my chest to my stomach and back.

"So, uh, let me stat from the beginning. I guess I had a brother, and it turns out I'm not exactly human. At all. And my brother was evil and tried to kill me and my friends."

Looking back to Kirei, I see her brow is furrowed and confusion is the prominent emotion in her eyes. I'm glad it's not anger.

"Go on.." She pushed me forward. I'm feeling mixed emotions that she wants to know more.

"So, uh.. My brother shows up, tells me I'm this race called 'Saiyan' and the entire race was killed in an explosion. They were a strong people with a thirst for blood and violence. I found that strange because I had never felt that way about fighting. It was fun to me, but I never had the urge to kill someone."

Kirei looks scared for half a second before I explain that I'm not a violent person.

"So, my so called 'brother' fought me and my friend Piccolo. I ended up dying and-"

"WHAT?! YOU DIED?! HOW?!" Kirei sat bolt up and gave me a terrified look. I put my hands up in defense.

"Listen. In the world of the dead I trained to fight more Saiyans that would be showing up. Then I was wished back to life. With the Dragon Balls. I'll leave that explanation to Bulma. She can make it make sense to you better than I can. So anyway, I came back to life and fought two more Saiyans. They were far stronger than I anticipated. It took the whole group of us to fight one of them, and he didn't even die, I don't think.."

Relaxing again, Kireis voice returned to normal volume. "I thought there were two. What about the other one?"

"His partner killed him. Like I said, Saiyans were bloodthirsty. The other one escaped and never came back."

Kirei flops back down and sighs.

"Wow. So you're not human..." Her voice was blank. No emotion. Is this good? I hope so.

"Is that okay?" I give her and apprehensive look.

"Yeah, I guess so.. It's just.."

"Just what?"

"I thought...I thought you were.."

"Normal?" I asked with understanding.

"..Yeah. I guess I'm just surprised."

I explained the whole thing in more detail.

"Well, my genetic makeup is apparently close enough to a humans and that I could be basically considered human except for my super strength. I can still donate blood an organs and have children and stuff, according to Bulma. She's a scientist, so I trust her."

Kirei only nods. After a few moments of silence she asks another question.

"Exactly how strong are you?"

I sigh and stand, stretching my arms.

"Want to see?"

She jumps up excitedly and follows me outside and to a large tree.

"See this tree?"

"No. It's invisible."

I chuckle at her sarcasm. "Watch closely."

I punch the tree and it shakes, but doesn't move.

"Oh, wow, it shook."

"Wait for it." I felt the energy of the tree loosen. I smile and grasp the tree with one hand, digging my fingers deep into the flesh and lifting it straight up. The clean cut of the punch showed the individual rings of the tree.

Kireis eyes bugged out of her head and she collapsed onto the ground, still looking at me.

"Hold on, I'm not done." I lift the tree higher over my head and flick my wrist, sending it flying miles away.

"That's how strong I am, and look! I'm not even winded!"

"What.. The.." Her eyes are filled with fear.

"It's a lot to take in, I know. I'm the strongest thing on the planet. I pride myself on it, but I would never ever hurt someone if they didn't start a fight. You should never feel afraid of me."

She nods and stands up shakily. "Alright. I'm tired. Let's... Let's go."

"Want a ride?"

"Sure."

I walk over to Kirei and crouch down in front of her. She hops up onto my back and I latch my hands under her knees, hoisting her up and walking back to the house.

Walking into the house, I lower her to the floor gently and go back to bed with her hand in mine. My thumb circles over the top of her hand. I wrap my arm around the small of her back and pull her into a bride position. I sit on the bed and touch her face with the back of my hand, feeling the skin under mine.


Awe they are so cute.
