This story is just to read for your personal pleasure. Not to be taken as what people think of religions. Thank you.

Warning: OOC Goku! And a LOT of ReiaxGoku moments. Also, a bloody moment, kind of...ew.

Dear Everyone;

I'm so sorry about the REALLY LATE post of this chapter. My computer broke, and I had no way of writing it because the hard drive was completely broken. So, this chapter is extra extra long, just to make it up to you all!

Last time...

"What's wrong?"

Bulma shook her head. "She's sad. She had to tell Derrick about you two and well…you know." He nodded.

"I'll take her home in a while…You go ahead and tell everyone to go." Goku said.

"Are you sure, Goku?" He nodded and gently took Reia from her, patting her back as she sobbed.

"Yeah, we'll be fine!" He grinned at her as she nodded hesitantly, hurrying back to the others.

When she vanished, he looked down at Reia and tilted her head up, making her look up at him. He cupped her cheeks with both of his hands and wiped away her tears with his thumbs.

"Hey, it's alright…Don't cry anymore." He whispered softly. She hiccupped as she tried to control the tears.

A little while later, she finally calmed down to only hiccupping and he patted her back again. "Are you alright now?"

She nodded and sniffled slightly. "Thanks…Sorry about that." He smiled.

"It's fine!" He picked her up, one arm under her legs and the other supporting her back. "Let's get going to Capsule Corp.! I'm starving!" He zoomed off in the sky and she couldn't help but laugh.

Now...

A few hours later, Reia was snuggled up to Goku's warm body. They were both in Reia's room, quietly watching her greenhouse. Bulma had come in later when they had first made it and made a few adjustments, allowing it to be automatically watered by a machine above it.

It was currently spraying a gentle flow of water on the green leaves, calming them both. Goku was sitting up against Reia's headboard as her head was on his chest. She was curled against him as he arms wrapped around her protectively.

"G-Goku…" Reia started softly.

"Yeah?"

"I…Um…" She fell silent for a moment. "Never mind, it's nothing."

His hold tightened around her slightly as he pulled her closer. "What's wrong? Am I making you uncomfortable with my clinging?" He asked, reluctantly pulling his arms away.

She quickly shook her head, putting her hands on his biceps to pull them back around her.

"No! No, I like this." She blushed as he chuckled. "I just wanted to say…well…"

"Take your time." She grinned at her. She glanced down at his blue undershirt, watching as it stretched slightly with his breathing.

"What is this going to do with our relationship?" She
blurted out finally. Goku's head tilted to the side as he glanced down at her.

"What do you mean?"

"Well…We're friends, right?" He nodded and she continued. "Well, with what Argauw said…Are we going to become more than friends? What about your wife…?" She mumbled towards the end, obviously distressed.

Goku sighed and sat up, and Reia knew this was one of his serious moments.

"Ex-wife." He stated. "And, I like you, Reia. And I'm sort of glad that Argauw said that, because honestly Reia…" He leaned close to her, his hands moving to her forearms as his forehead gently rested against hers. "I think I love you." He smiled at her as her face flushed bright red.

"R-r-really?" She stammered out. "You aren't just…you know…joking?" Goku shook his head.

"Of course not! I mean every word. You don't have to say anything right now, but I just want you to understand that I really do…" He paused and pulled away slightly. "I really do love you." He ruffled her hair and she smiled.

"I'm sorry Goku…" She whispered softly, almost inaudibly, as she cuddled against his chest again. "I really do want to say it." She said a bit louder. "But it…It hurts a lot."

He nodded, his hand moving to her head as he adjusted her against him more comfortably. "I know, and it's alright. As long as you don't hate me, everything is great!" He said cheerfully.

Reia nodded with a grin. "Right. I definitely don't hate you, of course!" Goku leaned down and kissed her forehead.

"Now, go to sleep. It's really late." She shook her head.

"But, I want to keep talking with you."

"No buts. You must be tired." She yawned almost as soon as he finished his sentence. "See what I mean?" He grinned.

She huffed, pouting. "Oh, fine…I'll see you in the morning?" She asked.

"Yes, I'll be here." He patted her back and she fell asleep quickly, listening to his heartbeat.

He sighed when she was deeply slumbering. "I really wish she'd say it soon, though…" He muttered, and then relaxed as he too drifted off to sleep.

~.~.~.~.~

In the morning, Goku awoke first and he was startled when he found a body on top of him. He laughed when he realized Reia must have climbed on him during the night and snuggled against his chest like a cat would.

Speaking of cats, Mr. Briefs' cat, Scratch was in her room. The black cat was asleep on the bed, almost disappearing in Reia's dark tresses.

Goku chuckled and lifted the cat up, placing him on the floor. Scratch scampered away, scratching at the door. He got up and went over to the door, opening it for Scratch.

As he watched the cat run down the hall, he heard Reia groan and move around the bed.

"C-Cold…" She mumbled. Closing the door and going back into the room, Goku climbed onto the bed and shook Reia gently.

"Wake up, Reia." He said quietly. "I think it's time for breakfast."

Reia grumbled under her breath and turned over. "Sleepy…" She muttered as she snuggled into the pillows. Goku chuckled and pulled the cover off of her.

"Come on, Reia. I'm sure you're hungry."

She sighed and sat up, rubbing her still closed eyes sleepily. "Okay, okay…" She crawled out of the bed and stumbled a bit as she stood up straight. Goku helped balance her.

"I told you we should've gone to bed sooner." He chided her.

Reia pouted. "But, I liked cuddling with you. You're really warm and…" She blushed slightly. "Cozy."

Goku laughed and ruffled Reia's already tangled hair. "Thanks, I guess!"

~.~.~.~.~

After breakfast with everyone, Goku decided to take Reia out with him. Of course, he didn't tell her where they were going and had a blindfold over her eyes as he steered Nimbus.

She shrieked as he did a sharp turn and flailed her arms around, thinking she was falling. Goku quickly grabbed onto her as her body toppled forward and laughed, holding her against him.

"Be careful, Reia. We're pretty high up!" He said, looking over the edge of Nimbus. Reia huffed.

"Are we almost there, then?"

"Yes, just a little farther! Promise." He patted her head and she nodded, wrapping her arms around what she figured was his chest so she wouldn't fall again.

A few minutes later, they landed. Goku lifted Reia off of Nimbus and the cloud flew away.

"Ready?"

Reia nodded and Goku began undoing the blindfold. The cloth dropped to the ground and Reia gasped as she took in the scene before her. Goku had rebuilt his house, and it was even bigger and better than it used to be.

"How…When…?" Reia stammered out, looking back at him. He was smiling sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head.

"I built most of it while everyone was sleeping. I figured Bulma had enough people to deal with on her hands. Do…Do you like it?" He asked, looking down at her. She nodded excitedly, her eyes lighting up as she studied the house from afar.

"It's the best house I've ever seen! You built it yourself? That's amazing! I'm sure you and Gohan will be very comfortable there." She smiled at him.

Goku's eyebrows furrowed. "You aren't going to be with us?"

Reia blinked, looking at him then back to the house. "…You mean I can?"

Goku rolled his eyes exaggeratedly and hugged her against him tightly. "Of course! You're the whole reason I started building it. Gohan loves Bulma's house, so I knew he wouldn't mind waiting, but you seem to like being around a small amount of people." Reia blushed slightly and scuffed the dirt with her shoe.

"You noticed?" Goku laughed and nodded.

"It's a little obvious. You always stay silent and off to the side." He ruffled her hair and began pushing her through the door. "Let me show you around!"

~.~.~.~.~

Devil slammed his fist on the armrest of his throne. Watching that fallen angel and the Saiyan flirt and…love each other. Ugh!

"Lillian!" He roared. "It's time to think of a plan!" Lillian shuffled into the room, holding a book out for him. He snatched it from her, making her flinch.

"Let's see…" He began leafing through the pages. "Aha! Spells to make your deepest fears come true." He grinned maliciously. "My scepter, woman." Lillian hurried over to the opposite side of the room to get his staff, quickly handing it to him.

He grabbed it from her and waved it in the air. "To the one who is happy, to the one who's full of glee. To the one who's not sorrowful, now let me tell thee. You shall have dreams, full of your nightmares. You will forever be alone there, with no one to help. Be ready, prepare, to have your worst fears appear!"

A sudden whoosh of wind and color swirled around Devil and his scepter stopped its malevolent glowing.

He threw it at Lillian and sat back down at his throne. "Now leave my sight, you wretch."

Lillian looked down as she just barely caught the large wand and quickly stumbled out of the room.

~.~.~.~.~

Goku grinned as Reia ooh'd and ahh'd at everything he showed her. She seemed to really love the house. It wasn't even anything special like Bulma's house. Just two floors, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen, etc.

"This is such a wonderful house, Goku! You always know how to do all these special things!" She smiled and he wrapped his arms around her once again. "Are you sure you want me to stay here with you and Gohan?"

Goku sighed and picked her up suddenly, carrying her to the bedroom. He climbed in the bed, still holding her.

"Goku, what're you-." He shushed her, leaning against the headboard. She blushed at the close proximity, feeling his warmth through their clothes. "G-Goku…"

Goku got comfortable, sitting her in his lap. She glanced up at him, her face still red. He smiled and kissed her forehead. "Reia, why do you think I don't want you here?"

She shrugged slowly. "Well…I don't know. I don't want to get in the way of you two and well-"

"Reia, listen. I don't want you to leave, and I'm sure Gohan doesn't either." He pulled her ever closer; their bodies flush against each other. "In fact, I know he doesn't. So stop worrying so much and say you'll stay." He kissed her cheek.

She nodded, smiling. "Okay…I'll stay." She nestled against him. Goku lifted her chin up and then kissed her lips.

"Good."

~.~.~.~.~

It was the middle of the night, both of the figures asleep next to each other. The smaller one tossed and turned, panting slightly. She was frightened and was making whimpering sounds.

"G-Goku...!"

In her dream, she was completely surrounded by Devilles. They were coming at her with all sorts of weapons, even kitchen knives, and she had no way to defend herself. No one was coming to save her, and she was all alone.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, the figure that she was in love with came out of the sky and landed right in front of her. She skidded to a stop and bumped into him slightly.

"Oh! Goku. Goku, we have to get out of here! T-The Devilles, they're coming after me. Hurry!" She grabbed onto him, trying to drag him away, but he wouldn't budge.

"Goku!" He pulled away from her and grinned.

"Don't worry, Reia. It'll all be over soon. Just let them make you one of them. I did it and it felt great!" He laughed, the shadows around his face disappearing and revealing red skin and yellow eyes staring at her. He grinned again, showing off his fangs.

He laughed at her grief-stricken appearance and moved close to her, crushing her against a wall that seemed to suddenly appear.

"Come on, you love me don't you? Then do what I say!" He leaned down, his face by her neck. He laid a kiss there before she felt a shooting pain go through her stomach. She opened her mouth to scream, but she couldn't. Her breath was gone as she felt him punch his way through her gut and then pull out sharply. She fell to the side, but he caught her. His bloody hand reached up and cupped her chin, smearing her life-giving liquid there.

"Haha, it feels wonderful, doesn't it?" He licked his finger before raising his hand. In it, a small knife. It was one of Devil's special knives, she could tell. When one of the Angels on Cloud was starting to become impure, Devil would appear behind them and stab them with it. Thus, making them a Deville themselves.

He raised his hand high up in the air, before bringing it down quickly. He laughed loudly as it sunk into her flesh and she screamed.

"NO!" She shrieked. "I don't want to be a Deville!" Goku shot up, jumping out of bed in a defensive position. When Reia screamed again, he rushed back on the bed.

"Reia. Reia! Wake up, it's alright! It's just a dream!" Reia shook her head.

"N-No! Please, no! I-I...I don't want to! No!"

Reia was now a Deville, stalking through the city with her beloved. They both cut down anyone they saw quickly, turning them to Devilles with them. They soon had an army following. In her mind though, she was trying to stop herself from hurting those innocent people.

"Stop it! Listen! You have to stop!" She yelled at herself. But she wouldn't stop. If anything, she became more brutal. She even had them beg before she-

"REIA!" Goku shouted, finally snapping her out of her bloody nightmare. She shot up, straight into his arms. He jolted in surprise as she latched onto him tightly.

She was sobbing incoherently into his bare chest, quickly making it become wet. He tried everything to soothe her but she wouldn't snap out of it. He smoothed her hair, kissed her forehead, murmured sweet nothings into her ear. He even tried getting up to get her something to drink, but she wouldn't let him go.

"Reia...tell me what happened. Why are you so scared?" She had calmed slightly to only hiccupping cries, but it still wasn't enough to understand.

"Reia, come on. I'm here to protect you, so please tell me what's wrong." She shivered slightly and he pulled their blanket snug around them both. She seemed to disappear between him and the wool, but was still shivering.

"Reia..." She slowly looked up at him, her eyes frightened and her irises were shaking slightly as she looked all around his face. Her hands then reached up to feel him, her palms resting against his cheeks.

He was slightly confused, but he let her do what she was doing, in hopes that it would calm her down. It seemed to, as she stopped crying, although a stray tear escaped her eyes a few times. He wiped them with his thumbs.

"Are you alright now?" She slowly nodded, looking down to avoid his gaze. "Reia, come on. Look at me." She shook her head. "Please?"

She closed her eyes before looking up. She stayed like that for a while, and Goku was about to give up trying to get her to open her eyes. But finally, she opened her lids slowly. He smiled at her and kissed her cheek.

"Thank you." She nodded, before sighing.

"Um...I'm sorry about crying all over you...I didn't mean to." He shook his head.

"Don't worry about it. What happened, though?" She wrapped her arms around herself and looked away.

"...D-Do I have to talk about it? R-Right now?" He shook his head again.

"No, it's fine. Just tell me when you're ready, alright?" She nodded and leaned against him, just listening to his heartbeat. He wondered what had her that scared. He glanced at the clock.

6:43. Well, it was early. He was quite awake, so there was no point trying to sleep, only to wake up a few hours later. He shifted slightly, hugging Reia tightly.

'Besides, she needs me right now.' Reia hugged him again, her breathing falling in sync with his. She smiled as she looked down, remembering that she was wearing his t-shirt.

"Goku...?" She called out softly. He glanced down at her.

"Yeah?"

She stayed silent for a moment and he thought he didn't hear her. She looked up at him and then gently kissed his lips. "I love you." She quickly leaned down again, and he could feel the heat of her blush against him.

He brightened up and smiled. Goku then slouched down and pushed her away from him slightly, to look her in the eye. She was still blushing, her eyes slightly widened.

"I love you, too." She smiled widely and then fell back against the covers, obviously happy. He leaned over her, kissing her lovingly before pulling away and sighing.

"I guess I'd better get up." She nodded and sat up. He shook his head and made her lay back down.

"I'm making you breakfast, so you have to stay here until I come back, okay?" She giggled.

"But, I can't let you do that. Besides, I like cooking." Goku crossed his arms as he stood by the bed.

"You always make me breakfast! It's my turn now." She sighed dramatically.

"Alright, if you insist, I won't say no." He grinned.

"Good!" He went out the room, leaving Reia snuggled up in their blanket as she leaned against the headboard. Closing her eyes, she began to drift off to sleep again, her nightmare gone out of her mind for a while.

Okay, it's not super long, but it's longer than usual! T-T Does that count for a little forgiveness?
