Chapter 11: Burning

A/N: Another short chapter but I'm still placing what will happen in steps. Oh you have noooo idea how this will play out I assure you. Probably you do who am I kidding you all know! Soon enough though Soon enough the next portion shall begin!

You guys are quite merciful to Kakarot except Isha. You want the poor Golden Dragon to suffer! Come on he's a Dragon!

Also Busi... I'm still lurking here how much will you hate me after this chapter eh? EH? Why do you ask, yes its pixels on the screen but I'm talking to you.

18+ below... Oh yes! I am evil

She wanted to say something, maybe take back her words but she couldn't because she knew it was the truth. No matter her feelings, that dragon was not a man and incapable of being the one for her. It hurt deeply but what else could she do? He had lied to her repeatedly even as they talked he lied. There was no chance that he could care about her. He wasn't human he was just another monster one that cut her deeply than anything she could have one thought possible. There had to be nothing left to say to one another and she was tired of being tricked and talked down too as if she didn't know any better. Tired of that dragon's self-righteous behavior, as if tricking her was somehow all justified for this? For what destroying her home, taking her miles from it and then take away the one man whom she had fallen in love with.

Goku did exist but it was not the dragon that made him real, it was her. She had made Goku so much more than that Golden behemoth, he had taken away the love of her life. She loved a man, not a monster and that was the only thing that she knew to be true, or at least that's what she told herself. Of course the leviathan was known as Kakarot, she had heard the mermaids and their attempts to use his name. He had cleared up any confusion between those ladies and her. They had believed her to be their dead sister apparently the appearance had been incredibly similar by all accounts to them. She also felt a little bad when the mermaids broke down crying when the heard the dragon tell them that she was gone and that Chi-Chi was not her. They had lost their sister once and false hope had made them suffer another loss a second time. By all accounts she would have expected the Mermaids to be angry with him or her but they did not, in fact they seemed apologetic hugging the massive dragon and kissing him afterwards. She hadn't the stomach to watch, that show of affection. It didn't make any damn sense, but she saw pain for a moment in his face as they held him. Why would that even happen he was a giant dragon with five half fish women who were fawned over him! Why couldn't he be happy with them instead of ruining her life. She sat in the cove all but ignoring everyone but still food was brought to her by mermaids whom they treated nicely despite her not being their sister.

For being completely underwater they had excellent taste, she had enjoyed the type of salad that had been prepared with bits of fish cooked up. A little blackened but nothing she could complain about as she had eaten all of it, realizing just how hungry she had been. While normally quite reserved with her eating habits she had devoured more than her fair share but of course she had been unwilling to ask for seconds, to do so would mean having to ask him. Something she had zero intention of doing, she couldn't tell the mermaids she was hungry because she couldn't understand anything they said. He could however, and he was capable of talking with them.

The walls and coral all around her had been pretty to stare at but after a few hours she wished to do something, she had grown bored but of course she was not going to start voicing her concerns. She didn't his almightiness to stomp over towards her and then correct her with a story about how this place came to be or how about the local fauna and animals worked together with another. She didn't want to be reminded of Goku, he was dead and gone, taken away by a golden dragon and his own personal agenda. Though she would wish to hear his voice again it would only be a lie and she was tired of lies of falsehoods for a lifetime already. She curled her hands around her legs and sighed.

"You are welcome to join us. You don't have to be over there all alone." Thick gruff, and heavy, not the charming and slightly goofy voice of Goku.

He wanted her to come over to sit by the six of them, why bother she couldn't understand the mermaids and having him translate would only make this situation worse. Dammit didn't he get it? She wanted nothing to do with him anymore! "I'm fine, leave me alone." Short simple and emotionless as she waved her hand dismissing the request.

"As you wish."

Please stop tormenting me! Just stop talking and leave me alone! She screamed inside her own mind, it was all just a reminder of everything he did to her.

"She is upset, why is that Elainie?" Alloona slowly raised her tail in and out of the water as her womanly figure was exposed on the top resting just nearby their beautiful one. As they had tried to call him Kakarot but no it was a good name like Elainie, a beautiful name for one like him. He had told them that he had hurt her, but that wasn't true! He would never hurt her they saw that in how he had treated her and how before he went to sleep to make sure she was alright and falling asleep with a smile.

"How dare she! I should-" Celiss voice was quashed as the dragon glared at her with a warning look. "Forgive." She looked away from him, it was wrong to say such things about the girl with legs as they could not call her Chi-Chi in their tongue.

"It is a human thing; they live a life far different than you or I. They are subject to things that are just far worse than the Zuegl that attacked here. She had lived and overcome much and I have done little to help her in that cause, in most cases I have made it far worse and hurt her heart." He looked back at her from the corner of his eyes, having his vision on both sides of his face a clear advantage in some cases. He was concerned about her mental state and if she might do something desperate or foolish. So far she had not but he would not be sleeping tonight that was for sure.

"Elainie, you should give her yours. She will understand." Yellie who was lounging on top of his wing which rested over the rock face. She was cleaning her nails and hair with a sea urchin's shell like a woman with a nail file.

"I can't give her my heart that would kill me." Kakarot snorted making Yellie giggle.

"Give her your heart! Fertilize her eggs make her happy!" She said slowly flipping herself overtop his wing looking at the Golden dragon with a smile on her face. "It is what any woman wants!"

Kakarot rolled his eyes, that would never work unless Chi-Chi would literally cut out his heart that might make her feel less bitter towards him. "Women from land do not think the same ways that you do. They value something more than just mating." Though even I have to admit the mating aspect isn't bad. At least when he compared it to the Mermaids, there was no proper act of procreation merely the male fertilizing the eggs laid by the female. No intimacy or coupling a complete bore.

"Shame then. Would you like to mate with us?" Yellie ever the bold one she had been the most headstrong when it came to the little games the Mermaids played with the great dragon. There were many reasons for such a question as well, they were not a society based on class or prestige but merely one wishing to produce the strongest offspring for their kind to better care for the waters and any proper male could fill that role.

"No sorry." Kakarot said laying his head down to Yellie whining slightly from his wing, gripping the bridge of his wing she slapped her tail against the black webbing.

"Behave sister! Elainie has said many times now enough!" The blonde mermaid warned as she combed her hair with a human one, surprisingly enough. A gift from Lord Edden it was sealed rosewood and not capable of being affected by moisture, a fairly hefty price for a gift but one that a Lord would pay to keep his beloved Mermaid happy and gifts were always a favorite this mermaid.

"Oh hush." Yellie pouted her hands going to her hips. "You can't even get that ugly leg walker down here to ever fertilize your eggs!"

Clearly she was poking fun at her Inshae's human companion being that there would never be a way for him to do that for her.

"How dare you?" The blonde hissed the comb clattering hard on the rocks as she glared irritated at her sister who would dare say that about her human.

"You always show off! Yet what does he do for you! He will never give you young! Never-!"

"Enough!" Kakarot banged his tail sounding out in common tongue but his tone was clear enough even for the Mermaids. Though as he did so he noticed that Chi-Chi did not even stir and it made his eyes glance downwards. She wasn't even riled by his little shout, she had barely flinched. Truly he had done wrong against her, she hated him for what he had done though he couldn't blame her for it. He turned his attention back to the Mermaids. "This is not a competition between you, finding one who makes you happy is most common between our races. Please be kind with your sister Yellie she has a human who would give up almost anything for her. Can you truly act as if that is not something special?" He drew his wing up towards him, bringing the young Mermaid's face up to his eyes. "Love between races, no matter if we choose whether to accept it or not."

"Sorry Elainie." She cast a quick glance to her sister. "Sorry sister."

"Forgiven."

My they got over their problems fast, perhaps it was merely his presence or he spoke true but he couldn't believe those words with what had just transpired between him and Chi-Chi. It was a lingering soreness in his chest, he had expected this outcome but he had hoped that it would not have come to it. He would miss the little inn keeper of his, she was fun to be with and a memorable lover. She was unlike any other woman he had tasted before.

Shaking his head, he had to rid himself of these thoughts, there would be little reconciliation because of his own foolishness. He would have to be content with seeing her cared for in Aretuza a young sorceress haven. It would ensure her complete protection, from her pursuers that had come to harm her. Having ventured up to the town's surface an hour or so ago donning another illusion he had learned just enough about what had gone on. The old Churgeon Fenn was missing, the knight in red as well and several other strangers who had appeared a night before from nowhere in the inn where he and Chi-Chi had been. Just who had decided that Chi-Chi was too become their pawn? He had to find that out for himself once she was safely inside the school's walls and under the protection of the Arch Mistress Margarita Laux-Antille, a woman whose primary focus was that of her school and students and had done so remarkably for a hundred years and a powerful Sorceress whose influence alone shielded all within from harm. It had been quite some time since he and her had made an acquaintance he could only wonder if she would still remember him.

Aretuza itself was enclosed on an island with only a portal and narrow bridge that allowed access to it a small castle and fortress unto itself where many school lecturers and trainers stayed comfortably. Once he dropped her there she would be gone from his sight and hand for many years, the academy could take upwards of 10-30 years. Depending on how much training a sorceress or family could afford, as many as twelve highly noble Redainian families had their daughters sent to the school most of which would become sorceresses but to what extent would be up to their own skill and talent.

Many could make the assumption that the Arch Mistress would use Chi-Chi for her own devices once she was discovered to be a source. That surely a powerful sorceress would not let such a being go far from them, that was the beauty in Aretuza for her only goal was to produce the best, and sources came and went in all manner of forms. They were quickly able to adapt to the use of magic even with little training he could easily see Chi-Chi mastering the basics in a short time. On her own blood and power alone had nearly created a small but powerful hurricane of wind using just the latent power within herself. That would be challenging enough for any schooled magic user and beyond Kakarot's own abilities. He was not human, he was a dragon and had his own limitations, he relied a great deal on his own physical prowess and in a trump card situation could become a Dragon with fire and huge razor claws. The only real flaw with his plan then was what to do if Chi-Chi choose the wrong path with her own gifts? What could he do if she wielded her power recklessly? Selfishly? That was something he would not allow even if she had the elder blood but at that point he would be all but powerless to stop her and if that was the only option. Then he would take the personal responsibility to end her.

His eyes blinked as he realized the haze of his own mind had placed him in, he had drifted off while the Mermaids were still off and talking laughing and carrying on he had not noticed that Chi-Chi had moved from her spot heading off for another section walking slowly as she did looking down at the ground completely avoiding looking at him in anyway. He had to apologize, but not as a beast, but as the man she had fallen in love with. To at least let her understand just how much it had hurt him to do this too her and that this would be for the best for her.

Chi-Chi was tired of being around those Mermaids, the object of her hate and frustration less so. They acted like young girls with their antics though she could not follow what they said, body language said a great deal. They were happy about things, they were happy to have a dragon around them.

Something she wished that would not be the case for much longer, she had seen enough of them now for at least this lifetime. Just what would be left for her? She wrapped her arms around her chest as she walked into a slightly darker area of the lair where it began to feel chill. Perhaps the steam of the hot springs did not reach this far? Her thoughts mused but it felt better it was how she felt on the inside, cold and alone.

Moving to sit down on her bottom she just sat down and stared into the still waters. "What a mess you've gotten yourself into." Murmuring to herself.

"There are worse things to be involved with."

Her breath hitched as the voice talked to her, charming and sweet a little aloof but kind. She shook her head, Ignore him. She told herself but her heart couldn't no matter how hard she wished too.

The soft movement behind her came as not talons not scales but feet approached her. "Were this to be the only mess you got yourself into you would have a story to tell."

Looking to the water she could see his reflection just outlined, it wasn't the dragon. No it was the body that she had known for several months and had enjoyed being so close too, until recently. "It's not a story if it's all lie." She looked away her dispirited tone and appearance plain she wasn't interested in playing his game she just wanted to start putting this behind her.

"The lie was merely who I was. You are the one who lived it, you're the one who felt everything and knows the truth." He stopped behind her noticing the sharp intake of her breath as he did so.

She bit down on her lip, she couldn't speak to him. Not like that! He had to be that monster for her to hate him! Not the young, sweet, and handsome man who had played tricks in her brain. She calmed herself taking slow breaths, no she was not going to be baited into this conversation to pretend as if this was just something to be joked about.

"Everything I felt was a lie, there wasn't anything ever between us. I used you, you used me that's all it ever was."

His hands touched her bare shoulders and gods she couldn't stop herself from softening under them. His fingers pressing into her shoulders just like he had done many times when they sat alone running up her shoulders slowly as if consoling her. Her teeth sunk into her lip harder as she tried to push herself away to be rid of him! To free herself from his allure.

"Do you really believe that?" He whispered into her ear, his hard chest pressing into the spine of her back, black spiky hair mixing with hers. His hands dropped to her sides and slowly wrapped around her belly. "Do you believe that one lie erases everything between us? For what we did to each other?"

Chi-Chi wanted to scream, she wanted to beat her fists and rant and rage at him, but she couldn't. Too push back this comfort that she had always longed for and had experienced time and time again by his hands. She had to stop this, she didn't want to hurt all over again. "I do." Though her breathing hitched as Goku's hand slipped lower teasing just in the black curls above her womanly folds. His firm hands just smoothing up and down asking her if this was a lie? She may not love him, but damit she wanted him, craved him. Her drunken side had told him that many times. That hot body with muscles pressed into her back, his breath tickling her ear and hands over her stomach it was her fantasy in many ways.

"Do you?" Pleading, asking almost begging was his tone.

What should she do? What could she do? Rejecting everything that made her crazy would be a lie to herself, she had felt his passion and seen it in his eyes. He had hurt her yes, but never physically. He drove her body wild and let her mind run amok with such impure thoughts. Would she sacrifice his touch forever? To let go how he had made her feel, there was only one answer.

"No." She breathed as she pulled his head towards her, her fingers becoming tightly tangled as she pulled his lips towards hers and she kissed a lie. But even still she loved this lie and she was consumed by him. His lips just like she remembered, soft and firm. When he kissed her they had succumb to sheer passion it was tender. Not pushing her to be uncomfortable but coaxing and letting her feel him against her.

Their lips parted as they explored each other, Chi-Chi's stifled moans as she spun on her bottom to wrap her other arm up and into his head pinning his head between her elbows. His taste driving her wild as she wished to feel everything from him just as before. To let the man who seemed so unwilling to touch her and loose himself to the throws of passion. She wanted to absorb it all, to let herself be lost once again as a woman.

Goku's arm pulled across her back as the other grabbed at her shapely end squeezing it slightly as he pressed her up and against the wall. The smoothed out rock formed well as his tongue rolled over her teeth. He could not forget the taste of this woman, what used to be his woman. If it were to be the last time he wanted to have everything from her. She was unbelievable sweet as could be, the dinner he had helped prepare for her lingering in the back of her throat which made his arms flex as he pressed those tight curves into him.

"I hate you…" She breathed as she pulled back to breath, her lips parted but the heavy gaze she gave him told him more than any terse words ever could. "You are just a monster." She growled as her fingers raked down the firm back making him arch and groan, his eyes rolling backwards as his mouth fell agape pressing towards her as he fell to the crook of her neck.

"I am a dragon, I am a myth and a fairy tale too all except you." He breathed into her neck as his wet lips went to her collar bone, the smoothness of her skin and feeling of her nails tearing all over his back made the beast inside come forth. His draconic nature called him to fight and dominate his female in a show of force but as she scratched and bit into his flesh reminding so vividly of what a dragon needed. He loved it rough, he wanted desire, panting and heaving. "I want to take you to heaven just like you do to me." He drew his tongue up to her ear to nibble at the small lobe which made her only snort at him. He wanted to quench this desire to have her as his heart pounded in his chest, her essence was be drank by him and him alone.

"Then do it beast!" She hissed in his ear as she bit on his neck making him rumble in pleasure. "Slide your naked against mine! Make love to the woman you have wronged! Make me forget how much I will punish you for this!" She grabbed his face and smothered his lips completely, branding them with such force as to never be parted. Her rough voice spoke of hidden desire, if he was to please her then he would have to make her forget how much she wanted to be rid of him. Tasting her own heated desire in the back of her throat she wondered could there ever be anyone that would make her feel this way again?

Goku pulled his arms underneath her shoulders fisting into the back of her hair as his fingers slipped between her raven locks as they kissed each other with such animalistic lust he could not deny how much he wanted her. She had been so untouched, so pure and open to a man like him, she had given him everything and yet he had to tear that from her as she now had to look down upon his face and see the mask of a man for behind it was the face of a Golden Leviathan.

Parting as the monster pulled back from the object of his desire letting her see the lust she invoked upon him. She a simple human barely a fraction of what he was in size held what was inside him with just the slightest of gestures, it was maddening but just all the more alluring to have what he should not. Her expression one like his own but with furrowed brows and heavy panting as her lips spoke of the fury hidden behind them, she would always hate him but also desire him. He slipped to her fleshy mounds, his tongue moving to lathe and kiss at her rosy tips with languid slowness making her growl.

She knew his game, he was moving slowly, taking his time to savor her body for it would be the last time but that still did not excuse his pace. She wanted him to love her like the monster he was, to let her feel euphoria not teasing and feathery kisses across her skin. If he was too be her monster he had better do more than just tease her.

"Stop toying with me." Her hands grabbing a tight fist of his hair as she moved to protest his actions. "Get on with it liar!" She spat challenging him but despite her scowl he only grinned back up at her as she wrenched on his hair even then he did not flinch.

"Toying?" He laughed against her accusation against her breast. "Hardly, why rush to the main course when there is so much to enjoy?" He said as she snapped at him, her hand smacking his face. It only made his grin spread across more.

"Do you play with all the girls you trick like this?" She pulled her arm back intent on striking him again but his eyes sparkled a glint of mischief. "Do you feel happy when you tear their hearts out and remind yourself of how much they would've given to you?"

"No I only play games with the ones I like." His fingers slipped down parting her legs as his fingers ran just around the edges of her thighs. "And there has only been one girl I've ever played with." His fingers plunged into her wetness as she hit his back swinging down as she couldn't strike him across his face as his head buried within her chest, letting his teeth and tongue sample to her delight and frustration.

Her hips bucked upwards driving into his palm which grinded down against her clit with direct pressure she could only bite down on her lip as the hiss escaped her lips. Her head pushed backwards into the rock as her body rode the waves of pleasure coming out from her thighs. He was still good! Her fingers curled along his back as the other remained tightly wound in his hair. Her breathing hitched as her tension came to its limit, her mouth falling open into a blinding scream. She climaxed hard plunging her one hand not pulling at the roots of Goku's hair with all her strength into his back making him purr. Gods how could he still do this too her! He was the cruelest but so devilishly sweet as his lips kissed her again.

Carrying her from the wall she had been pinned from. The dragon laid her down on the ground, one cradling around her back as the other slowly allowed himself to press her small frame which wrapped around his own to the ground without injury. He could feel her long legs wrap around his hips as her core pressed against him calling him to take her! The heat of her arousal screamed all throughout his nose along with the smell of his blood and the sweat of her body. The desire he felt for her pierced his heart as they were so right for each other but he could never truly have her. She was his little desire, a female with such spirit that even in her words of pain and anger he could not wish anything but the best for her.

The possibility of love was not possible for one like him, he was not born with love. He was raised by a dragon, to be a dragon there was no call for love just survival. He had felt comfort yes but never love and affection for what he was, she would be his reminder of that. She wouldn't ever love his scales, his teeth and wings. Would her eyes light up with joy at the fire he could spew forth from his stomach and how an entire building could be smashed by a whip of his tail or bash of his paws. There would never be anything like that for him, maybe one day he'd find a mate in the world but dragons were forever a dying breed hunted and wanted for greed and hate. She loved the man he pretended to be, and so he could only pretend to love. He could care but never could he love, he didn't know how or even deserve it.

"Do it!" She demanded as she broke off her forehead resting against his, her flushed face as she could feel the heat of his arousal pressed squarely into her stomach, her chest into his own making her breasts hardened under his lightly tanned skin.

She felt her heart beat faster, her palms grow sweatier as she looked into the eyes and saw only his want for her. He wanted only her, not the mermaids, not the whores from Madam Lana's, not the elf girl lily or the drunken bar girls from the docks. He wanted the woman that had fallen into his hands. With a nod she felt his body pull back making her head fall backwards resting against the smooth stone as the hardened tip brushed against her entrance.

"Only for you my Chi." He whispered watching that expression of anger fade before being enveloped by her.

She moaned as she held tight to his head. "You will always be a monster in my eyes." She admitted as he drew back making her back arch from the ground towards his heat.

"I accept that, though you are a human you will forever be my Chi-Chi." He looked into her eyes as he slid back inside slowly making her mewl in blissful agony. "Last chance to turn away a Golden Dragon from you."

"I will always reject that dragon!" She rasped against his throat as she squeezed him tight. Her teeth dragging along his pulse with beat rapidly. "But I embrace the man inside you."

Her declaration was clear as the beast came free, her cries and screams echoing throughout the passage long followed by the deep roar of Kakarot with the woman he had claimed.

"I told you!" Yellie said her face mildly flushed by laughing pointing at her sisters smugly. "Fertilize her eggs was all!" The chorus of laughter that came next was silenced by a screaming woman banshee and intense roaring dragon.

Goku and Chi-Chi rocked together, their coupling driving them both to madness from each other. The spiky hair lay between the raven haired beauties chest as the mouth between them lathed them slowly with kisses.

Her hand rested atop her forehead as she heaved and panted as the nirvana they experienced together slowly passed. It would be the last time she would ever feel like this, satisfied complete, and loved. At least that's how she could only imagine it being as her legs slowly fell limp at her sides, the heavy male buried inside her slowly withdrew leaving her empty and aching.

"Rest, we will leave soon enough." A voice whispered in her ear as she rolled to her side slightly shivering from the immense heat that had vanished. She did not open her eyes for it was not Goku's but Kakarot's. "I will always be here for you, in one form or another." He spoke to her again making her body tense at such a thick animal voice but with a gentles beyond his stature his tail swept up her body and pulled it into a cradle of his wings atop his back that covered her like a blanket. She was too tired and exhausted to complain at him, the man she loved was gone again even still she let herself be lulled to sleep by the gentle heartbeat that she had been so close to before atop his back as the cradle of his wings felt almost like feathers and his body's natural heat kept her warm. She fell into a quiet peaceful sleep with a golden monster.

The massive dragon walked inside the steamy cove to the unabashed smiles of the Mermaids who eyed him with sly grins on their faces. "Did I miss anything?" He asked, being nonchalant about the entire affair was hard as he was sure he was blushing even as a beast. He had been too caught up to forget his 'company' so close.

"The song she sings Elainie we all enjoyed it." Celliss said her red hair covering the tops of her chest but framed her face perfectly. "Would you be so kind to sing for us?"

"Another time, she sleeps and I will not wake her." He indicated with his wings and the little woman cradled in them.

"Pity, such a sweet song Elainie." Celiss looked away but another swam over to the dragon.

Inshae came up to the leviathan that had slowly settled down on the ground his head resting just at the edge of the water. "Love is what Love is Elainie. Be kind to her." Her soft spoken voice as her hand brushed over his lowering eye lid.

"It's not me who is kind her, it is the man I am not." He said letting himself fall asleep exhausted as Inshae laughed.

"You hide yourself, much like you hide your love Elainie." She whispered into his ear, "You are hers always…"
