(A/N: During Chichi and Vegeta's fight, Chichi didn't transform into a Super Saiyan 2. She just boosted her power far more than Vegeta's.) Hey! :D Some of you thought Chichi achieved the SSJ2 state but she didn't. Just boosting her power as far as she can. Anyways I would like to thank koryandrs, xAira-Nilights, Haaruuhii, and Juunnachi for reviewing. It means a lot to me. Thank you once again! :)

Chapter 11: Tears and Lies
Last time...
"Now let's get you to the rejuvenation tank." Chichi nodded and powered down to a regular saiyan. The gravity of the planet pulled on her battered body which made it harder to stand. Before she could hit the ground, Kakarot caught her. Chichi yelped and almost screamed in pain as he positioned her in more comfortable way. Kakarot didn't want to hurt her but she needed treatment right away.
"Are you okay?" He asked worriedly. Chichi bit her bottom lip and nodded.
"Yeah..for now." Chichi answered. Kakarot turned to King Vegeta.
"Sire, I wish to take my mate to the rejuvenation tank." Kakarot said. King Vegeta nodded and patted his shoulder.
"You have chosen a powerful mate, Kakarot. Yes, you may take her to the medical wing." King Vegeta smirked and walked into the palace.
Kakarot looked down at Chichi and smiled. She would be at his side 24/7 and he'll have nothing to worry about. But that is until a war or battle broke out. He frowned at the thought of Chichi fighting in a real battle. She could possibly get hurt or- Kakarot shook his head. She couldn't and wouldn't do such a thing. Kakarot walked down the halls and entered the medical wing. He placed her in the tank and placed his hand on the glass before leaving.
"I'll be back later, Chi." He whispered as closed the door.
Chichi's eyes snapped open and found herself in the rejucenation tank once again. She heard a beep and got out the tank. She stretched her muscles and changed into her armor which was refixed from her battle with Vegeta. "Man, our battle was worst than Kakarot's." Chichi muttered to herself.
Chichi gently pushed open the door and peeked around the door into the hallways. Just as she predicted, no one was around. She shrugged and walked down the relentless halls. She knew which way to go since she roamed around sometimes with Gogeta. Now going to see, Bulma
Minutes later Chichi reached the metallic doors and entered. She found the heiress at a table crowded with countless chemicals. Chichi then grinned deviously and quietly tip-toed her way behind the heiress. Raising her hands in the air like she's striking her prey and taking in a deep breath.
"HEY!" Chichi screeched into her ear. Bulma shrieked, releasing her tool and landing clumsy on the floor with an audible thud. Chichi doubled over laughing like a manic who had lost their sanity.
"Chichi!" Bulma screamed at the top of her lungs which didn't faze the laughing woman. This annoyed the beyond terrified heiress. Suddenly, Chichi straighened up as if nothing happened.
"Whatcha doing?" Chichi asked, a sudden smile appearing. Bulma squinted her eyes before smiling back. She turned her back and looked at her project with sparkley eyes. Chichi peered over her shoulder and gave a questioning glance at Bulma.
"Finishing up my beautiful project." Bulma clapsed her hands together and sighed happily. Chichi raised an eyebrow before backing off. Before she can respond, the door swung open to reveal Vegeta.
"Woman! My father requests your assist in scientific manners." Vegeta barked. Bulma and Chichi give each other curious glances before Bulma spoke.
"Wow! I never knew you knew that!" Sacarsm dripping from very word, ecspecially never. Vegeta growled and stomped his way out, not after threatening the raven beauty. "Don't think this ends here." Chichi gulped and nodded solemnly. After the door slammed shut, Bulma blinked and waved her hand in front of Chichi's face.
"Yoohoo? Chichi? Back to planet Vegeta-sai?" Bulma teased. Chichi smacked Bulma's hand wave, slightly blushing in embarassment. Chichi stood there flustered for a moment before Bulma spoke up.
"So, Chichi, what are you doing here?" Bulma asked. Chichi shrugged, observing the lab.
"Dunno, just..walking around I guess." Bulma squinted her eyes, eyeing Chichi cautiously. She placed her hands on her hips and tapped her shot, demanding for the truth. "Chichi."
Chichi glanced at Bulma for a second before laughing nervously. She patted Bulma on the shoulder, not once looking at her. "I'm serious! Besides I came here to ask you a favor." Bulma raised an eyebrow, examining her composure for any signs of lying. Well, for 1) She's shuffling her feet uncomfortablelly. 2) She's fiddling with her fingers. 3) She's biting her lower lip. 4) She never made eye contact.
"Sure.." Bulma replied slowly. Chichi stopped all movement then fidgeted uncontrollably. "Oh..umm..you know..."
"Chichi Mao. Spit it out." Bulma said in motherly tone. (A/N: Lol, but she isn't going to be a mother to Chichi.) Chichi bowed her shame. "Okay...umm..you see I wanted you to tell Vegeta that I require an assignment immediately. Since your relationship with the Prince is far more intimiated than others." Chichi quickly blurted out.
"Chichi, would you please look up." Chichi complied and stood up with determination in her eyes. A serious look upon her face, ready for any signs of anger and violence. Surprisingly, Bulma didn't do such, just standing there with a calm, relaxed expression but her body language said so. Chichi knew Bulma could've lashed her out but held in all the her anger.
"Why do you want an assignment, Chichi? You've just recovered but now you're asking for an assignment. Why do you want to leave so immediately? Couldn't you just asked the King?" Bulma decided to ignore her last statement. Chichi quickly turned her head, not wanting to see the worried and pained looked on her face. A dark shadow casted over her eyes, leaving her nose and mouth exposed to the light.
"Bulma, please. I'm begging you. Please just do this once." Chichi's voice cracked slightly. Concern filled her being, never once did she hear Chichi beg. "Chichi, what's wrong? You know I can help-"
"No! You can't help!" Chichi barked.
Bulma gasped, hurt by her friend's words. Tears cascaded down her face as she spoke. "Chi-"
"Nevermind. I'll ask the King myself. I'm sorry, Bulma. I..." She slowly trailed off. Tears silently fell down her face, raining down like a waterfall. She bit her bottom lip, holding back sobs. Her heart swelled with pain, sadness, and anger. Chichi bolted out the doors before Bulma had the time to react.
Chichi helplessly ran down the hall, wanting to get away from all the pain. She ignored all the stares and pushed open the double doors leading to the garden. She ran behind the building and leaned against the wall, sliding down. She buried her face in her hands and sobbed uncontrollablly. I'm sorry, Bulma. I can't let you figure this out...not yet. When the time comes, you'll know. Then again, I'm so sorry. Chichi thought as she glanced at the brightly lit moon gleaming down on her.
Chichi sat there thinking about all the past events. She got up, dried her tears, and walked into the palace.
~At the throne room~
"What is it?" King Vegeta's voice boomed. Chichi bowed and saluted. "I recommend an assignment immediately." King Vegeta raised an eyebrow.
"Immediately? Kakarot wouldn't be pleased to know his mate has decided to take on a mission after recovery." He warned.
"Yes, sire." Chichi ignored this last statement.
"Kakarot should be informed of your departure." She shook her head. "I'm sorry but I request this on my own will, even if its costs my life." Chichi placed a hand over her heart and bowed majestically. King Vegeta sighed and rubbed his temples.
"If this what you require, your request will be approved. You will depart in approximately 20 minutes." Chichi bowed again.
"Thank you, your majesty." Before she reached the door, she stopped and spoke without turning around. "Can you do a favor for me? Don't tell anyone I've left." Then she left.
King Vegeta sighed deeply and thought about the conversation. Kakarot won't approve of me letting his mate go alone. But since it is of her will, there is nothing I can do.
~Departure room~
Chichi stood in front of the space pod, debating if she should go or not. She sighed and shook her head. She already has permission from the King AND it was of her own free will, whether her life depended on it.
Chichi climbed into the pod and strapped in. She set the coordinates and a rumbling could be heard. The pod shifted before launching into the black, endless void of space.
From a distance, she watched her home planet float farther and farther away by the second. She hoped to see it again, if she will survive.
Sorry! Short chapter! What a disappoint to me and especially my readers. -_-
