Oh my gosh it's been three weeks since I last updated. Reason being was because I had writer's block. Luckily, I'm back on track and ready to finish this story up!

So, I do not own Db/Z, they both belong to Akira Toriyama.

Targeting his weakness

'Today's the day…'

Chichi laid in bed awake, beside her sleeping husband who had his back to her. Pulling the covers over her shoulders, she looked at the window. By the looks of it, the sun was rising over the horizon. The warm light slipped through the blinds of her bedroom window. Closing her eyes, she silently let her tears fall. She didn't want this day to continue. She wished with all her heart that time would stop. That she wouldn't hear someone tell her that her husband was dead. Drying her tears, she sat up in bed. She looked to her right at her husband. He looked so calm and relaxed. A small smile formed on her face as she lightly stroked his hair. A smile appeared on his sleeping face.

'…I might lose him…'

It was now eight: thirty-five in the morning. They had eaten breakfast silently. After they finished breakfast, Chichi cleaned up and was now outside saying goodbye to her son.

" Now Gohan, remember to take breaks. I don't want you to over work yourself." A smile appeared on her face. " Good luck."

A smile spread on Gohan's face. " Okay thanks mom."

Chichi took a quick glance at Kaliya. They made eye contact, Kaliya's eyes were narrowed and cold. Chichi looked back at Gohan, feeling a mixture of nervousness and anger. 'What give her the right to look at me that way? If only I wasn't feeling so nervous I'd-'

" Mom?" She heard Gohan ask. She looked down at her son, who had a confused look on his face.

" Are you okay?" her son asked, as she stepped back saying " I'm fine. I just wish…I could go with you all."

Gohan was stunned by his mother's words. Why would she want to go with them? But if she wants to go then…

" But I can't, I have so much to do around the house. Maybe some other time." She finished sighing, as a huge smile appeared on Gohan's face. " That would be so cool to have you around mom! Just please don't get mad if my sparring partner hits me." Gohan said rubbing his head.

" I'll try my best. But if it gets really bad then I'll have to step in." Chichi ruffled Gohan's hair as he smiled. 'At least we'll be together.'

" Hey you guys! Ready to go?" Goku appeared, passing Chichi without saying anything. She saw Gohan nodding his head as Goku looked up at the other two. Kaliya's facial expression had changed to an excited one. Piccolo stood with his back turned to the others saying " Been ready."

Goku pushes Gohan forward saying " Let's get going little man. We have a lot of training to do."

Gohan walks ahead and says " Okay. Bye mom!"

Goku's eyes quickly grew bigger. 'I almost forgot!'

" Bye Gohan! Take care of yourself!" Chichi said, waving to her teenaged son. " Uh, guys go on ahead, I forgot something inside! I'll catch up with you later!" Goku said while running back to his home. The others looked at him confused, but obeyed and flew off. Chichi watched as his son left. She put a hand over her heart thinking 'What's this strange feeling I'm having in my heart? Oh no! What if Kaliya was going after Gohan this whole time? I don't know what I'd do without Gohan.' Feeling weak, she slowly fell to the ground, holding her aching head. 'I can't faint at a time like this, knowing my little Gohan's in danger!'

She felt herself begin to lean forward. Just before she the ground, she felt a pair of strong arms scoop her up. She opened her eyes slightly, to see Goku looking at her with concerned eyes. " Chichi, what's wrong?" A smile appeared on her face as she said " You're talking to me. I'm guessing you aren't mad anymore."

His eyes widened as he walked towards their house. " I was never mad I just…needed sometime to think things through fully." He said in a quiet tone. Holding her closer to him, he said " I'm sorry if it seemed like I was ignoring you. And I'm definitely not mad."

Chichi closed her eyes as she said, with tears falling from her eyes " Please don't let her hurt Gohan. I don't want to lose him too…"

" Shh…nobody's going to hurt Gohan. I promise." He said as he opened the door to their home. Walking through the living room to their bedroom he looked down at his wife. 'I'll make sure to keep an eye on Kaliya. Even if I think she's not a bad person.'

He opened the door to his room and walked over to his bed. Laying Chichi down on the bed gently, he kissed her on the cheek saying softly " I could never stay mad at you Chichi. I love you too much." He saw a smile appear on Chichi's face, as she said in a hushed tone " Please take care of yourself…I don't want to lose…you."

He caressed her hair saying " Don't worry about me. I can defend myself from anything." She giggled saying " Of course you can. Hmm…I love you too." And with that, she fell into a deep sleep.

Goku pulled the bed covers over his wife's sleeping form. He walked out of their room, closing the door quietly. He sighed with relief that he was able to patch things up with his wife. He felt so empty and lonely inside when he didn't talk to her. A smile appeared on his face as he thought, closing the front door of his home. 'Well I can tell today's going to be a great day.'

He thought wrong.

Opening her eyes, Chichi sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes. She looked around her room for Goku, but of course he was nowhere to be found. She sighed relieved that he didn't stay. Chichi didn't want Gohan to end up hurt or worse. Getting out of bed, she slipped on her boots and walked over to the bathroom. After splashing some cold water on her face, she dried her face and walked back out to her room. Walking over to her door, she passes the living room and goes over to the front door. Opening the door, she walks out of her home. Closing the door behind her, she looks up at the sky. The clouds were blocking the sun's rays.

'I should go take a walk. Maybe it'll calm my nerves.' Chichi starts walking to the backyard. She pauses when she gets to the river that leads to the forest. 'I wonder if I should go visit the neighbors. It has been a while since I've talked to…'

Chichi hears a faraway voice behind her say " You don't have long. Run back home." She quickly turns her head in all directions. Lastly she looks over her shoulder and sees nobody. 'How strange. I could have sworn I heard a voice. Maybe I'm more stressed out than I thought.'

" Hm, I should get going." She says to herself as she jumps over the small river.

A while later, she comes across one of the neighbors daughters. The girl was about fourteen years old, had midnight colored hair and eyes. She stopped when she saw Chichi and waved to her politely. " Hello Mrs. Son."

Chichi smiles at the girl and says " Hello, what are you doing out here Kathy?"

The girl smiles shyly and says " I'm heading back home. I just was visiting an aunt of mine. Might I ask what you are doing Mrs. Son?"

" I'm just walking around. Both my son and husband aren't home so I decided to take a break." Chichi says, as Kathy giggles.

" Sounds like they give you a hard time."

" They do sometimes but not as often as they use to." Chichi says as Kathy bows her head saying " I'd love to continue chatting but I have to head home. My parents are expecting me."

" Oh! I'm sorry go on home. I wouldn't want to get you into trouble." Chichi says as Kathy nods, walking to her home.

" No its okay. Well bye Mrs. Son! It was nice seeing you again!" Kathy says as Chichi waves saying " Likewise, tell your parents I said hello!"

" I will!"

Chichi stops waving, watching as the girl continued walking. 'What a polite young woman. I hope Gohan will find someone just like her someday.'

Sighing, Chichi keeps walking straight in the direction of a large pond hidden in the forest. She stretches her arms out and walks over to the pond. She sits with her legs to one side and looks at her reflection in the water.

" You don't quite listen do you Chichi Son?"

Chichi eyes widen as she glanced at the person who was stand right behind her. The person lets out a menacing laugh as they glare down at Chichi, with a smirk on their face.

" Surprised?"

Chichi gets up and glares back at the person saying angrily " What do you want? Are you here to keep me company?"

" Don't make me laugh. I just came to see you one last time. Before your whole world is shattered into a million pieces. And by world, I mean your husband."

" What do you want with him? He's never done a damn thing to you!" Chichi shouts, not caring about her bad language.

" Hmph, I never thought I'd hear someone like you say such a bad word."

Chichi places a hand on her hip and says " Get use to it! And I don't care what you think!"

Chichi takes her hand off her hip and charges right at the person. Her fist collides with the person's cheek as they take a step back.

" Well you aren't just talk. My I underestimated you, you're not half bad for a pathetic human." The person's eyes narrowed at Chichi.

Chichi gets into fighting position and shouts " Goku's not the only one who can fight! And I won't let you hurt him or my son!"

" Well see about that." The person says as they charge right for Chichi.

'I'm not a weakling. And I won't lose!' And with those encouraging words, Chichi blocks the person's attack and knee kicks the person right on the jaw. The person falls backwards and stares at the feisty woman.

'This was the original first target. Why is she still alive?!'

The person gets back up. 'No matter, I'll handle this one myself. The main target can be taken out by her.'

" Hey! Are you going to just stand there and stare at me all day?! This isn't a staring contest!" Chichi says furiously, as the person smirks " You are quite beautiful, what do you say you come with me? You may be of good use back on my planet."

Chichi eyes grow bigger. 'She sounds like…a man all of a sudden. What's going on?'

Chichi quickly narrows her eyes and asks " You're not Kaliya are you?"

" Wow, you just noticed? Heh, you're not as smart as I thought."

" But, you look just like Kaliya! Is this a joke?!" Chichi asks angrily at the person.

" You've found out my secret. Now I can't let you leave." The person who looked like Kaliya struck Chichi right in the neck at a fast speed.

She fell down terrified as she felt a hand-pick her up by the neck. Struggling to get out of the hold, Chichi's vision begins to blur. 'I can't go down like this. I have to…stay awake.'

With Goku and the others:

" Hey Kaliya! Where'd ya go?" Goku called out as he looked back at his son who just came back from searching the area.

" Any sign of her?" Goku asked as Gohan shook his head no.

" I've looked everywhere around here. The only place I haven't checked is back home."

Goku's eyes widened, realizing that…

" Chichi!" He sudden shouted as Gohan looked at his father confused.

" What about mom? Is there something wrong?" Gohan asked worried.

" She tried telling me but I wouldn't listen! Urg! Gohan listen, I want you to stay here until Piccolo comes back."

" What's going on dad? Is mom okay?" Gohan asked, even more worried.

" I'm…not sure but I don't want you to follow me alright?" Goku's voice changed to a more serious tone.

" Okay but once Piccolo gets here I'm going too." The boy said, raising one of his fists in the air.

Goku looked back at his son and said " Fine then."

And with that, Goku shot up into the sky as he flew towards his home at top speed.

'This is so strange. Why didn't Kaliya follow us if she was after me? Why would she go back home? Chichi was going to be…'Goku soon realized what was going on. 'She's going to target Chichi before me! But why would she do that?! Urg, I can't let her hurt Chichi!'

Few minutes later, Goku arrived at his home. He burst through the front door and frantically ran to his room. He opened the door to see that Chichi wasn't in bed. He ran back to the kitchen. Nothing. " No-no-no-no! She's got to be in here somewhere! Chichi!"

Scared out of his mind, he grabbed his hair in frustration. " No this can't be happening…I promised I'd protect her. He gritted his teeth thinking 'But I can't sense her energy. I'm to tense!'

He fell down onto his knees. Trying his best to calm down, he tries searching for her energy again. This time, he found it. But it was quickly lowering. " No…she's in trouble."

Getting up on his two feet, he runs out the door. Going through the same path Chichi took, he suddenly saw someone holding Chichi up by the neck. Outraged, he ran towards the figure holding his wife but was abruptly stopped by Kaliya.

" Get out-of-the-way! I don't have time to fight you! I have to stop that guy from hurting Chichi!" He yelled as Kaliya grabbed his Gi saying " Sorry I can't allow you to do that."

" What?!" And within seconds, Goku was up in the air surrounded by a dark red aura. He tries to break through her hold but finds out he can't move.

" Don't try, I've trapped you in this aura and you won't be able to get out until your wife's dead." Kaliya's voice sounded cold and evil, nothing compared to her old voice.

" What?! No you have to let me go! I'll fight you and that other person. Just don't kill her!"

Kaliya flies in front of him and smirks " I can't do that. The plan was to see how you react to seeing your wife be tortured and then killed right before your eyes. I'm terribly sorry if you won't be able to tolerate her screams and desperate cries for help."

Goku stared at her in horror. " No you can't do this! She doesn't deserve to be suffering! She's helpless!" Goku protested as he continued to get out of the dark aura around him.

" Right, I think she deserves to be wiped off this planet. She's a complete nobody. I think your confused with your emotions. You don't love this woman. You just make yourself believe that you do." Kaliya says, getting out of Goku's view. He looks down at the scene in front of him. The figure tighten his hand around Chichi's neck. A sharp cry escaped from Chichi as she's thrown aside.

" I'm not killing you yet, gorgeous."

" Don't you dare say that to MY wife!" Goku shouted, a little jealous.

The man finally faces him and says " You're in no position to be giving me orders. And it's a comment, I could always take her with me and destroy this planet."

" You wouldn't dare!" Goku yelled, his anger was now flaring.

" I would but I won't. I'd rather see your reaction when I kill her." The man said, a sinister smile appeared on his face as he picks Chichi up by her collar and plants a kiss on her cheek. " What are you going to do, Goku?" He asks, laughing as he throws Chichi up against a tree. She falls face first on the ground motionless.

" I'm going to murder you when I get out of his!" Goku shouts, as he begins to power up.

'I won't let them get away with this!' He thinks as his power raises up faster.

And that's where will stop! Stay tune to see if Goku will be able to save Chichi before she's killed by this evil duo.

Please R&R!
