Goodbye To You

Chapter Ten

The next day…

Goku had been up for hours, eagerly awaiting the arrival of his sons. They had begun their summer vacation the week before and were to spend the first month of it with him. He had been looking forward to this since before the divorce when he had only spent weekends with them. But he wasn't going to let the past bring down his happy attitude.

He looked out the window and saw Chi Chi's car pull into his drive way. It still hurt to see the woman who both held and broke his heart, but he knew that the pain would subside eventually. He believed that it may have already started.

He ran out to meet his boys.

Gohan and Goten were just getting out of the car when they saw their father running toward them.

"Dad!" Goten exclaimed as he ran into his father's awaiting arms.

"Oh, Goten," he said as he hugged his son back. He pulled away. "Hey, did you grow since the last time I saw you?"

He gasped, "Do you really think so?"

"It sure looks like it." He swung him around to his back and carried him over to his other son. "Gohan, you're looking more like your old man every day." He joked and hugged his teen-age son.

"Jeez, don't even joke like that, Dad," he hugged him back. "You have no idea how happy we are to be here. Mom's been on the war path since we saw you yesterday." He quickly whispered.

"What? When?" he replied bewildered.

"I'll explain later." Gohan walked over and began helping his mother remove their bags from her car. "I'll get those mom… Come help me Goten." He called to his brother.

Goku put him down. "Okay," he ran to help his brother take their bags into the house.

Goku walked up to Chi Chi. "Hey, Chi Chi. You're looking well." He attempted to hug her but she pushed him away. He was even more confused by her cold behavior toward him. She had been indifferent since the divorce, but never unkind. "Um, is it safe to assume that you're mad at me for…something?"

She balled her fists and took a step away from him. "You are unbelievable, you know that?"

"Wait, before you start yelling at me, would you mind telling me what you're mad about?" he asked sincerely, which made her even more livid.

"Goku, you know very well what I'm talking about. How dare you do something like that with out telling us! I mean I know that you are going to be seeing other people, but my god, Goku, it hasn't even been a year and you're already out flaunting around, making a complete spectacle of yourself!" She yelled.

"What are you talking about Chi Chi?"

"You know good and well what I'm talking about. I saw you, we all saw you!"

"If you saw me why didn't you say hi? And how does seeing me give you a reason to attack me?" he asked getting more puzzled by the second.

"Your sons and I saw you yesterday morning with that woman!" she yelled.

"What woman?" Goku thought for a second.

"I guess it's safe to assume that you're already sleeping with her since you were together so early in the morning," she added bitterly.

It finally hit Goku what his ex-wife was talking about and he started to laugh.

Chi Chi turned an even darker shade of red. "Just what is so funny?" she said dangerously.

He laughed even harder, "Oh, Chi Chi. You're not seriously jealous of Kagome are you?"

"Jealous?" she said nearly choking on her anger. "You think I'm jealous?"

"Chi Chi," he said putting a hand on her shoulder, making he slightly flinch. "The woman you saw me with yesterday is just a friend. I just met her the other day because she's Krillin's cousin and is staying with him for a while. Neither of us had any plans for yesterday so I decided to show her around town. Trust me, we are not dating." He said the last part a little unconvincingly.

She continued to stare at him for a minute. "You really expect me to believe that? I saw it with my own two eyes, Goku. You were looking at her as is she were the most delicious snack in the world."

He shifted nervously. "Look, Chi Chi. You can believe what ever you want, but there is nothing going on between me and Kagome. Not that it's any of your business, because, if you don't remember, you were the one who divorced me. Not the other way around."

The two stood in silence for a moment.

"Hey," they heard Gohan say as he walked toward them, sensing the anger in the air. "Is every thing okay?"

"Yeah, son, everything is okay. Your mother and I were just talking. But we're done now." He said and walked toward the house. "I'll get Goten out here to say goodbye to you, Chi Chi…" He stopped and turned toward her. "Take care of yourself, Chi Chi," he said sincerely and smiled.

She sighed, "You too, Goku." He walked into the house with out a glance back.

"Mom," Gohan started tentatively, "What is wrong? Why are you so mad at dad?"

"Gohan, you're too young to understand."

"Mom, is it because you saw him with that other woman?" he asked surprising her.

"No, it- it's not that… Look, your father is a grown man who can make his own decisions. It's none of my business if he's gallivanting about town like a fool."

"Mom," Gohan began. "I know that it was hard for you to see him with another woman. But you can't expect him to live the rest of his life alone. He was bound to start seeing other people sooner or later."

"I know… I just didn't expect it to be this soon."

"When you think about it, it really isn't that soon…" he hugged her. "And don't worry, you know that he will always love you, Mom."

She hugged her son back and exhaled heavily. "I know… Well, have fun with your father and watch over your little brother." She pulled away. "Oh and make sure your father doesn't burn down the house or something like that."

He smiled at her, "I will." He turned toward the house just as Goten was running out of it. "Bye Mom," he called back to her.

Chi Chi bent down to hug her youngest son. "Now you have lots of fun with your brother and father, okay?"

"I will," he said pulling away from her. "Dad promised us lots of fun!"

She laughed. "Remember, if you need anything, just call me and I'll be over as soon as I can," she smoothed his hair.

"Okay," he said and kissed her on the cheek. "Bye Mom." He ran toward the house.

Chi Chi got into the car and began pulling out of the driveway.

'Damn it, Goku,' she thought. 'Have you really moved on already…before I have?'

In the house…

Goku watched as his ex-wife drove away.

'Just what was all that about,' he wondered. 'I mean, she was the one who ended it, not me. She can't possibly expect me to sit around and wait for her, can she?'

"Dad," He turned to find his oldest son standing behind him. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," he smiled. "That was just really strange. I mean I'm used to your mom yelling at me, but not when I haven't done anything."

"Well, I guess she just expected to be the one who would start dating first. It was just a shock to her, that's all… By the way, who was the woman that you were with? I didn't really get a good look at her, but from what I saw, she was very nice to look at. And she couldn't have that much old than I am."

Goku laughed. "Son, I hate to disappoint you but I am not dating any one. That was Krillin's cousin Kagome that I was with yesterday. She came into town the other day and I was showing her around."

He looked at his father skeptically. "Alright, Dad. If you say so."

Goku watched as his son walked away and wondered why he was having such a hard time getting his family to believe him that day.
