Chapter 2: Snakeway Passion
A/N: Hope you guys are enjoying the different take on things. Hopefully a different change of pace on how the Z saga could've been without them being married or having Gohan.
Goku and Chi-Chi paused, taking a rare chance to sit down and rest together. While Goku could probably keep going he wasn't going to just leave Chi-Chi behind. They were making good time, he was just a bit stronger. They had been flying for three days straight with no change in pace, only to then run the last seven days stopping only briefly to sleep for several hours before beginning again. They made up for the drain in time by running longer than they could fly.
Both of them decided to not try and jump across Snake Way as Goku had nearly screwed up and landed off the path cutting his hand on the sharp edges of the stone serpent causeway. A nice purple bandage made from Chi-Chi's long pant leg now covered the small cut to his hand.
Right now they were both laying on their backs together. Chi-Chi's eyes heavy, "Goku… if we're dead how come we can still feel exhaustion, and why are we breathing like we have lungs?" The obvious question poised to the misunderstood nature of life and death. She thought they were supposed to be ghosts, or spirits, not having bodies of flesh and functioning just as it had been in life. "Is this supposed to be happening?"
"I honestly don't know… but man I am getting really, really hungry for being dead though." He remarked, his stomach letting off a large upset grumble as he rubbed the only real sore spot on his body.
Chi-Chi laughed, "That would be you Goku," Never satisfied, exhaling heavily she turned her head towards him. "Goku, do you mind if I ask you a question."
"Nope, ask away." He said turning back to smile at her. "I always like your questions, Chi-Chi." She made him think about things, and made him feel like she actually wanted to hear his opinion. His friends asked him questions to usually see what type of answer he give and either remark typical or that was dumb. Chi-Chi was never like that. "So what's on your mind?"
"Goku, do you remember the world tournament when you forgot who I was?" She'd asked this question before but she had to remind him that there were a few times that he'd not instantly remembered who she was. Claiming because he didn't remember her outfit, and that she always looked different.
He nodded, "Yeah, you sure were mad." an amused smirk showing on his face that made Chi-Chi smile.
"Yes I was, but I often think about it. You know how I wanted you marry me." It was something she always thought about but rarely talked with anyone about it but she couldn't ever broach the topic. But since she'd literally spent two weeks with Goku and they were just running and aside from making small talk about things, a part of her just kept scratching at the edges of her mind. "What if me and you had actually gotten married? How do you think things would've turned out?"
Goku himself took a moment to think, his eyes going to the endless yellow clouds around them. There were so many things about being 'married' that he didn't understand. That and there were so many rules, he asked Chi-Chi to explain what it was to him at one point but got lost several minutes into it. It sounded fun, but he felt that it was a lot of work, plus it meant he didn't get to have any adventures and train. That kind of sold him on not wanting to get married, yet. "I don't know, I think I might've made you go crazy though, you know how I get when doing things that are 'normal'."
That was quite true, "I guess you're right. But don't you ever want to slow down, and you know, have kids someday or have a whole family, not just with me but with anyone?"
Goku shrugged, "Ehh, having kids sounds nice…. But." His voice trailing off as he found a new growing problem to the prospect of marriage. Chi-Chi waited for a minute for him to finish, but as he seemed to struggle putting his words together she had to push a little bit. "But what?"
"I mean right now. If me and you got married and we had a kid," While a pleasing thought to Chi-Chi Goku felt something wrong when having someone else to take care of, like Grandpa had done with him. "If we had a child and we both died, then what would happen to them? Would it be like how it was with me and Grandpa, where they raise themselves or would Piccolo or some villain try and get revenge against them through me or you?"
'That's a good point.' Goku had a lot of enemies and having a child would make them priority number one. Just thinking about Raditz using a child against them, she'd be helpless and probably irrational, but then she'd made the sacrifice just like Goku had done for her. But then just to add one more thing to that, there would be so much guilt. Leaving her family behind while she ran off and trained to fight the next big bad and ignore them? "I guess you have a point, some parents we'd make huh." Her fake laugh a partial self loathing for herself if she had been put into such a position. Yet Goku surprised her.
"I think you'd be a good mom, no I take that back, you'd be great!" Sensing her self loathing she'd been showing every once and while Goku wanted her to be happy. Plus it wasn't a lie, "You can look after me, I'm sure a small baby wouldn't be too bad. I bet you'd feed him, read him stories, and probably train them really really hard."
Chi-Chi looked back up towards the clouds and smiled. I don't think I'll ever get over this guy. He was just… just Goku. Was there a word that could describe a man who could be so calm but then so endearing at the same moment? 'I wonder if we just ran into each other on purpose sometimes or maybe it was me being drawn to him. Goku has that occult a personality about him.' "Thanks Goku, if I ever have a kid I'll be sure to remember that, but I can't imagine wanting them to fight like this. I would want them to do something practical like… being a doctor or something."
"What? A person who uses needles!" Goku exclaimed, almost shocked that Chi-Chi would want her son to be the greatest threat to all mankind, a tad exaggerated but it was definitely top ten. "They could be an amazing fighter, and if they were a girl like you, they'd be super smart, strong, and pretty. I mean most kids are like their parents so I don't know how you could not have a kid and not be a great martial artist."
His unintended compliments made her blush like a schoolgirl all over again, "Oh Goku you are just too..." Her hands were on her face as she just couldn't help being playful. "MUCH!" So lost in her own image of a smaller version of herself, with her own daydream she then shoved Goku away from her, rolling end over end and falling off the Snake Way with a loud "HEY-!" A helpless flail as Goku vanished into the yellow mess of clouds. It took Chi-Chi a second to realize her mistake and then jumped over to the ledge looking down. "Goku?!" Looking, she didn't spy him, "Oh no…" She panicked, wondering what had just happened.
"Jeez Chi-Chi, that was close." Goku's voice coming from behind her. Startled, she jumped back around to see Goku with a thick bead of sweat on his face as he pulled himself back up and onto the pathway.
"Oh I'm sorry, I just lost myself for a second." She apologized coming over to him as he took a moment to calm down his heart from the near scare. "I didn't hurt you did I?"
Putting a hand on his shoulder, she looked him over wondering if she might've banged himself on something. Touching his face and moving his unruly spikes she made sure there wasn't something she missed. 'I'm fine.' It's what he wanted to say, but he didn't say anything. Her touch - when not flinging him off the edge of the stone pathway - was… warm, gentle, and most of all he liked it. Her hands are so soft. Relaxing, Goku just let Chi-Chi check him over enjoying the closeness that her presence brought him. A light tingle in the heart.
"You don't look hurt." She said confirming her suspicion and flooding her with relief. 'That was really stupid Chi-Chi…'
Goku noticed her frown, obviously her guilt. "It's okay Chi-Chi." But he could tell that she didn't buy that. "No really, it's kind of like how we were when we were kids." It was how he really remembered Chi-Chi, "Remember when I- '' He reached over with his one hand and did a 'friendly' pat-pat right onto her crotch. "Did tha-"
Chi-Chi jumped, "Goku!" She shouted, pushing herself away her hands immediately going to her thighs and covering herself protectively. "What?" He said, "I-"
"You can't touch me there Goku, that is improper!" And her mild fantasy quickly fell back down to Earth. 'Social cues are still lost on him.' She groaned in her head. "You can't touch girls there and I can't touch a boy there unless the two of them are married or love each other."
"You didn't mind when we were kids, you told me yourself that you really liked how forward I was about it." There was always this thing with Chi-Chi, where she'd change her personality up like a switch being flipped. How was something okay years ago but not okay now? Sheesh.
"Ugh," Shaking her head, "Goku there's just things you don't do to another person's body. I can't touch your penis and you can't touch my vagina, and don't ask me to explain why that is you just don't do that unless you and the other person really like each other."
This again was confusing for Goku, "But I do really like you, Chi-Chi." His words having the impact of a freight train hitting her head on. "Chi-Chi you are one of my best friends. I know that you wanted to get married to me someday, but I wasn't, yah know… ready for that and you understood, but I mean if I was ever going to marry someone it would have to be you. You... You're just." Words and feelings were always his biggest crutch to hold himself up. "I can't explain the things in my head sometimes, but I know that you are a good person. One of the nicest people to me, you aren't like my other friends, you're different." There was this feeling again, that feeling he got around Chi-Chi and no one else. Was it because she was playful with him, strong like him, or maybe she actually cared about him? Ever since Grandpa had died he'd never had this part of him be opened up. "I'm sorry, Chi-Chi, I just… I just."
She was stunned, Chi-Chi normally always one for maintaining her composure had lost it all. Goku opening up to her in such a deep confession that shocked her. Goku's invincible never concerned and never a dull moment attitude just broke open. There was indeed a man under there, and like always it just gave her that hope again. The side of the boy who had warmed her heart, as a teen he just wasn't ready to express himself.
Putting it down to Goku probably was never the settling down type, a free spirit, not the kind to be idle for too long. Yet… Whenever they met Goku and she would always spend time together, it was more than four or five times in a year where they'd just come across each other. But when they did Goku and she would spend days together, expounding in detail about their journey and what they'd been up to. A little arm flexing here and there. A dinner or two together, a friendly swim, and the occasional play wrestling match - an unspoken favorite of theirs both.
(Flashback)
Goku had Chi-Chi in an arm lock, both of them digging in on a tropical isles of the Pacific, the warm midnight air and red sun setting leaving those looking from one direction with the black outline of two figures engaged in a fierce struggle. While obviously stronger than her, Goku lacked the distinct flexibility and balance that was for a woman. Turning into him, her arm pulled to an unnatural angle, she swept Goku's foot forcing him to brace for the impact, their little game was to just pin the other one to the ground for several seconds to win, there was no real rules, or goal, but to have fun with one another.
For him it was a match with a strong opponent, for her it was a chance to show him up. He landed onto his back, she pounced on him, his legs rolling up and locking her into a guard, with his legs locked around her back, he tried to snare her head into a choke to roll her onto her back and pin her. She didn't oblige by twisting her hips rolling up and through his legs, the slippery wet salty sand did not allow for much friction. Goku dressed in his boxers and she in a full body swimsuit, the kind she wore back in school. The elastic material stretched as she rolled up and caught Goku's head and arm.
Realizing that he would lose, Goku rolled with her. The two toppolling over and over each other in the sand until he ended up pinning her, but not without his head and arm caught in her grip. Laying between her legs, his hips pressed against hers. A position of dominance from the waist down, it was Chi-Chi who held him firm, keeping his neck locked against his arm.
"Tie." She said grinning up at him, even though it wasn't a victory she hadn't been bested.
"Tie it is." He conceded and she let go, but then they both stopped. Goku looked down at her and found himself lost in his own heart. This position felt right, her laying beneath him, her hair spread amongst the sand as the small waves ot the tide licked at the sides of their bodies. The splashes of dribbling water soaking his chest and covering her neck, the patterning of sand as marks from a fight. She looked… so... so… beautiful.
He hungered but it was not his stomach that wanted her, his groin was burning, his eyes were getting drier, his lips were tingling and the urge to bite her was rushing through him. He wanted to desperately sink his teeth into her neck in that moment, the purpose lost, but the reasoning was sound. No one touched what you put your mouth on. His mind just couldn't rationalize why he wanted to. But he wanted to bite her many times and she would bite him back. They could bite and bite until their bodies were littered in bites so that no one would touch other but them.
Yet that would be selfish, but the side that wanted her blood in his mouth to rip away and what separated them and become closer was there in a way that he could not even comprend. That scared him, the unknown, the what would be if he did something selfish and hurting someone he cared about.
He pulled back, though Chi-Chi noticed the hungry look in his eyes, it had been the closest thing she'd ever seen from Goku ever to pure raw emotion. He wanted her in a way that she'd never thought, she'd imagined sure many times, but to have that look where she was the only thing in his eyes. It just gave her hope that Goku might, ever so slightly do something crazy. Kiss me, tell me you love me, pull my swimsuit away and take me here and now. She could do it herself, she could certainly do it, but that wouldn't be right, she'd given Goku her consent long ago to fall in love with her. She had fallen for him, but he, he had not made up his mind.
It could not be forced. So she let go when he did, but she recalled the feeling of his erection against her hips, the slow grind of his hips even if he did not realize it.
That look alone always kept her finding him again, in the hopes that he might finally make that step. But they never came that close again, Goku being careful from that point on to not let that side out, but still there were glimmers of it, but nothing she could ever touch like she did that evening on a beach.
Maybe she was a hopeless romantic but come on, a half naked guy on a girl in a swimsuit that they knew since childhood, the sunset on the side and warm sand all around. She could not have made a better situation for which the two of them might've found themselves in.
(End Flashback)
She had never moved on and surprisingly now she knew. Neither had he. "Goku... " Her words were soft and her face reminded him of that night on the beach. The salty water replaced with sweat, the warm sand now warm stone.
"Chi-Chi. I'm sorry, I- I just." But she stopped him, putting a finger to his lips. "Goku, I know but as much as I want to continue this conversation. It has to wait, the world needs us." He just nodded his head, there would be time later, but now they did have a mission to get to.
Helping him up, Goku let his hand rest in hers for awhile longer. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have touched you there." He apologized tipping his head.
"It's okay, I'm sorry for getting worked up about it. Besides, you were right." A faint blush creeping over her cheeks. Goku looked up confused, "Right?" Not following what she meant.
Oh Goku. Keeping his hand in hers she pulled him along for a bit before letting go. Her head turned over her shoulder and looked at him with a warm glow that made his heart beat faster. "I don't mind if it's you who touches me there."
He blinked and then he opened his mouth to speak but she turned and began to run again her face red from embarrassment and something else. Sharing a piece of her heart with him once again, Chi-Chi could only look to the future and wonder what time would hold for them.
[***]
It was another two weeks and still Goku and Chi-Chi saw no end to the ever expansive Snake Way, a whole month had passed them by and still they were no closer to their goal from what they could tell. Hardly anyone ever made the journey to meet King Kai, and fewer still ever could actually claim to have met him.
But they found a nice break as Goku and Chi-Chi were greeted to a large house in the middle of the path. Two blue skinned women with dark colored hair were doing laundry on top when they approached. "Oh, visitors! Visitors!" They called out hurrying from their positions, one that Chi-Chi found trouble with as she could see their laundry hanging skills left much to be desired.
"You think this is King Kai's?" Goku asked Chi-Chi who shook her head.
"I doubt that, were not at the end of Snake Way, it still keeps going…" A hint of defeat echoing faintly in her tone. Four weeks of non stop moving and they had still nothing to show for it! If there were maybe a mile marker, a GPS a sign, hell a crappy motel to give them some inkling as to how much further they had to go would be appreciated.
But alas Chi-Chi's woes were not going to be gifted with such a thing. Their tale is one of apparent never ending stone snake. She longed for it to be over!
As they stood there, Goku's undampenable mood remained as usual as he watched as the doors opened and out stepped a woman. Much like the other two who had been doing laundry this one wore a nice form fitting blue dress and had bright orange hair. "Oh, visitors it has been too long. Welcome!" She said, gesturing for the two of them to enter.
"Hello, my name is Goku, and are you King Kai the one who we were sent to train with?" Goku figured that it could be possible. I mean Chi-Chi was a great fighter, why couldn't this person be King Kai?
"Oh no, I'm sorry I am not him. I am Princess Snake, royal otherworldly pageant winner six out of the last ten years I will have you know." She said offering him a hand.
Goku frowned slightly disappointed that this wasn't King Kai. "Oh. Well, do you know how far along we are until we reach King Kai's?" He asked pointing to the direction they had been heading.
"Dear me… it's been so long." The woman brought a hand to her chin. "By my guess you'd be about halfway."
"HALF?!" Chi-Chi said before falling over backwards. "You okay?" Goku asked giving her a quizzical stare as Chi-Chi threw up her hands and screamed. The intensity making Goku cover his ears and Princess Snake along with her entourage to do the same. "Chi-Chi?" His face now looking down at her grumpy expression.
"Goku didn't you hear her? We're just halfway there, that means four more weeks until we arrive - another wasted month and we're not getting any stronger for the saiyans.
"Well at least we know how far along we are Chi-Chi, that's a good thing!" His chipper mood undampened by the notion of their journey. They would have to time with a person like King Kai, they only had to look forward to a little bit more running.
Princess Snake looked between the two, a slight hint of concern as she eyed them. "Excuse me for being so bold, but may I ask are the two of you a couple?"
"Yes," "No," Goku and Chi-Chi said, "Goku, we're not a couple." She said trying to correct him but he waved that off. "Chi-Chi we are a couple." His words making the Ox Princess feel something in her heart before, "We are traveling together, that makes us a couple." Her head fell back onto the stone pavement. 'Moment ruined.'
"That doesn't make us a couple in how she's asking Goku." She said irritated, she cast him an annoyed glare as he scratched his head with a finger. "Goku, she's asking if we're together as in, dating or married."
'Okay that's kind of true, however,' "Chi-Chi, didn't we say we'd talk about it after we got with King Kai though. You know the whole having kids thing a few weeks ago?" Immediately bringing the blush back to Chi-Chi's face.
"My, you two certainly have a," Princess Snake paused before adding, "relationship." If that is how one would view it. "Would you two mind staying for a meal before continuing on your journey, maybe taking a nice hot bath?" Her words were quite tempting.
'Oh, that sounds amazing right now.' Chi-Chi thought, believing that there could be some measure of comfort to be found on this expansively winding snake trail. But this wasn't the time… rest came after they'd done what they set out to do. "We really can't we should-"
"Aww, but Chi-Chi," Goku whined, "I haven't eaten in so long and we could use a bath my pits really stink." Taking a whiff for effect, his nose crinkling in response to it.
"Goku, you're dead you don't need to eat." She corrected him, "Also the saiyans have a time table we can't waste any time with them on the way."
"Oh you must, it wouldn't be right if you met King Kai smelling and looking like that. How about you just take an hour and we'll make sure your clothes are washed, cleaned and fresh. It would be terrible to show up looking haggard." The princess jumped back in, Chi-Chi noticed she seemed awfully eager to have them stay for some reason. But Goku gave her a pleading look.
"Fine, but just an hour before we go." Relentling.
"Wonderful, come along Goku. I'll have a great feast set up for both of you while you both take a bath." Grabbing his arm a bit forcefully and leading him inside the building. Goku not thinking much of it and Chi-Chi could only sigh, 'Trumped by Goku's ever present hungry stomach.'
Once they were inside, Princess Snake led them to some perfect hot springs, the kind that Chi-Chi 'loved'. Of course what she wasn't ready for was Goku stripping down to nothing and jumping right in, not a hint of decency or public decorum. 'Not that the view wasn't great.' Sitting with a towel wrapped around her body, Chi-Chi laid herself back in the water. The steam rolling off and opening up her pours were bliss. "Ahhh," She sighed letting her head fall back into the water, her hair spilling out into the water as Goku rested across from her. His hands washing his body slowly with a washcloth. Chi-Chi watched through lidded eyes as his hand swiped up and over his rounded pectoral muscle rising up and over his tan skin and then pulling over his nipple. 'Oh Kami.'
Was it wrong for her to be ogling him like this after just saying they weren't a couple. If they were a couple she wouldn't mind doing that herself… 'No, No! Chi-Chi we are not going to do this to ourselves it's not right!' Chi-Chi couldn't stop her mind and problematically her fingers from sliding down between her legs. It was shameful, crude, and downright immoral for her to be looking at Goku and fantasizing about him while they had such a threat hanging over them, but this wasn't much different to the times where'd they shared close space before.
But that ripped chest, how his skin pulled over his abs in a way that she could see herself running her fingers through the dips and curves, it wasn't wrong to admit that her crush had an absolutely statuesque physique. No unsightly body hair… not even 'down there'. Just the hair on his head. 'Chi-Chi, come on you practically admitted to liking the way he touched you privately! Stop being so upstanding. You know Goku wouldn't turn down you running your hands over him. I mean come on, it's not like Goku is going to be expecting something from you in return.' Her illogical heart was telling her to just jump him, not intimately but those deep feelings for Goku was perfectly reasonable. They were good friends, Goku admitted to liking her in many ways. Maybe… Maybe-
"Hey Chi-Chi," Her daydreaming was broken by his voice. His head cocked to the side as he stopped washing himself to give her a studious look. "You okay?" She was just looking at him unblinking "You look like you're ready to slip down into the water." She was staring at him quite intently and he had to admit the look was, appealing like how it had been on the beach years ago. She wanted something but what exactly that was eluded his current understanding of their relationship. Most people yelled at him when he got nude, but Chi-Chi didn't. She was always comfortable around him unlike his other friends.
'Oh! Maybe she's waiting for me to do that thing Bulma did with me. Shoot. He knew that Bulma said that it was appropriate to bathe someone when they were in the bath together unless it was his friend's 'personal time' "Chi-Chi how about I wash your back?"
'WHAT?!' Chi-Chi's mouth bubbled as her lips were moving before she recalled they were below the water. "You-You want to wash me?" Blinking with a red face.
"Of course, I mean you'd do the same for me right?" He chuckled standing up and giving Chi-Chi a full eye full of his flaccid snake. The Ox Princess was already too red to go any deeper as Goku strode over and brought the washcloth to her back. The usual gentle smile on his face as he ran the washcloth over Chi-Chi's back, his other hand resting on her shoulder as he focused on his task.
She hadn't told him yes or no, but here he was doing it anyway! Chi-Chi was ready to object but stopped when Goku put a gentle pressure on her back. Running his fingers up the small crest of her spine and back down made her lightly groan, having been one to always know a body and the level of pressure to apply in a circumstance paid off for Chi-Chi's neglected muscles. "So, mmm, good." She said as she let her face drop into the water giving Goku more access to her.
Pleased with himself, Goku shifted to popping the digits in her back as he shifted to rolling his knuckles into the washcloth. Popping the discs and making her slip further down. But she was wearing a towel, 'Girls really are weird when they bathe,' How could you not enjoy a nice warm bath while wearing something?
Chi-Chi felt her cover disappear but either fortunately or unfortunately Goku's hands never came around to her front. Chi-Chi laid her head on the rocks as Goku performed magic with his fingers. Her mind drifted wondering if Goku might do something, and with how he was making her feel she'd probably not object to whatever he asked. It might've been the heat or the closeness to the man who had captured her heart, but she traveled down the dark and dirty path.
'Maybe he'll ask me to clean his big dick?' Envisioning herself taking that monster with both of her hands and rubbing it down, expecting the limp snake to become a third arm and then have him blast his thick white cum all over the place. Check fantasy number 1. Or maybe 'He'll spin me around, tell me how much he wants me, how he's tired of playing coy. Then he'll force me against the rocks and kiss me, shove his tongue into my mouth and pull me against him.' Fantasy number 23 check. But then there was, 'He'll reach down and cup my sex and do what my fingers wern't able to finish, he'll say I saw you and I want you to cum for me ' Oh God why am I doing this? She was getting herself worked up for no reason!
Unsteady breaths escaped from her lips as her hands were resting along her head. Damn my sex fantasies, damn Goku for being so fucking good looking! Yet she didn't protest as he worked his hands up into her hair, scratching the sides of her head and rolling her neck to one side and then popping her neck only to swing it back to the other half and repeat. "Kami… Goku where'd you learn this?" Her heavy breaths made Goku just laugh.
"Oh, I remember watching this one guy a couple years ago do this to a girl in a hot spring, the girl really seemed to like it." Goku had scared the hell out of the pair when he dropped out of nowhere to ask what he was doing to her.
After being promised that he'd not tell anyone what he saw - having something to do with her being underaged - whatever that ment he said he'd teach him his moves if he swore never to come back and speak about what he'd witnessed. So Goku learned this technique, he'd never really had a chance to use it but he mastered it quickly, the guy said it was his best move. Strange guy, but it seems to be working. His mind told him that Chi-Chi seemed to be really enjoying it as she had vocally and visibly showed him.
The small sounds and groans that she made were, what's the word? Nice… no that doesn't sound right. Soft? Nope that wasn't it either… Pleasing, yes that was it. They made him feel good and the more he heard it. There was just that urge once again as he rolled his fingers through her hair, her soft skin and silky smooth hair - his head dipped closer so his nose could inhale that rich scent - it was still permeated with her sweat and as it dripped into the water.
Then as Chi-Chi's head rolled backwards, Goku felt his breathing grow heavier, looking down at the way her neck was exposed to him, that porcelain skin but layered with shapely toned muscle that displayed her pulse. It was beating rapidly Goku could hear it and feel it with his hands.
Thrumming of her heart was making that urge rise up, 'Bite her…. Just a little bite.' A deep growl of his body told him to do this, that this was the time. Sink his teeth deep into her skin and let her blood fill his mouth.
Lowering his lips down he pressed a kiss into her flesh as his eyes were hazy and drunk, the aroma of the bathwater and the smell of Chi-Chi was just turning him into a naught but a beast with its instincts. Chi-Chi hardly protested herself as Goku's lips parted sucking on the part of her neck. Crying out lightly she brought a hand to touch his cheek the other grasping his fingers in his hair. "Haaah… mmmm." Her gasp turned into a moan as Goku's tongue slid up and over her neck and pushed along her pulse.
Widening his lips, Goku's teeth scraped along her skin- *BANG* a loud clattering of metal like a pan being dropped onto the ground broke the moment as Chi-Chi now cognizant again jumped grabbing her towel as Goku turned back around. Princess Snake was standing here in muted silence as one of her servants dropped a washing bowel. Their faces were flushed through the blue texture was only slightly darker. Even as observers they were affected very much by Goku, even if he didn't know it.
"Sorry, but would you like to eat?" Snake made the attempt to break the obvious tension in the air, 'The water was supposed to make them more heated but I guess that the tall muscular one wasn't lying when he said they were a couple. How… delicious.'
Goku and Chi-Chi didn't address their little frisky business as they got out and dressed heading to the hall to grab some food. Chi-Chi felt a little groggy, her limbs were like noodles but she felt so nice and relaxed.
Goku was a little drowsy but overall he was fine, sitting down at the large table with Chi-Chi beside him they watched as huge plates of food with meat still on the bone, full diced and fried vegetables. Cooked corn on the cob, a full pot of stew. He just couldn't wait and started digging in right away.
Chi-Chi fixed herself a full plate and started eating, but as she stuck her fork into the cut of meat she felt the weight of her eyes growing heavier. The urge to sleep was overpowering and the effects of the bath were still weighing down her will to stay awake. Chi-Chi's head began to nod and slowly drop.
"Did you put enough in?" Princess snake asked one of her attendants who gave her a crooked smile. "Triple the dosage." She said as Goku slowed down, his own body weakening, the heavy sedative and sleeping powder taking its effect. Normally the hot springs were filled with the same compound but these two delicacies were able to resist even that much. The food was just the knockout punch.
Chi-Chi's head hit the table and her body rolled onto the floor her eyes shut and completely unconscious. Goku fell backwards, his head looking up as his arms were limp and lax at his side. The thud was unheard, the only thing he could feel was the desire to sleep. The knife in his hand clattered onto the ground and his heavy snore filled the air.
"Oh, finally now. Fetch me my mirror I want to see just what kind of meal we will be enjoying today!" Princess Snake hadn't had this kind of company in years, only King Yemma had been strong enough to get away from her on their way to King Kai's. So she now had two creatures to fill her more than hungry belly, it had been a really long time.
Her attendants flashed the mirror in front of Goku, his dreams amplified to be of what he cherished and cared the most about as to sweeten the flavor as he was eaten. Dying in delight was such a beautiful thing. "Ahh, here we go." Her attendant said as the mirror shimmered, the landscape of a green grass planet with light blue skies quickly filled the view. "Hmm, there doesn't seem to be anything…"
Snake pouted as she looked around until she put her hand on the mirror to Goku's mind and reached a little deeper. "By the Gods!" She gasped as she saw Goku's darkened face teeth exposed and fully driven deeply into Chi-Chi's neck. "What kind of man does that?"
"I do not know princess, but it's not out of malice but…" She said as they watched Goku swallow down her blood only to lick at the wounds before biting her again, and again. There was no violence only dominance. "He's marking her I think. As his."
"Hmmmm, a little too raw for my tastes." She waved off the mirror before pointing to the downed Chi-Chi. "Bring the other one up and let me see her dreams, she seems to be much sweeter than that one."
Putting Chi-Chi on the table they let the mirror rest just above her looking into her mind and trying to find the hidden delight that lay beneath. What they found… did not disappoint. "Girlssss-" Snake's voice hissed her mouth twisting into a macbare of glistening whtie fang like teeth and a serpents tongue. "I think-kkk we are ready to feasssst-"
"Yesss, oh yesss." The two attendents grinned, their mouths widening as they moved to different sections of Chi-Chi, Princess Snake grabbing Chi-Chi's shoulders her mouth widening as she moved to swallow her head. Her jaw stretched to impossible levels to fit it, distorting her frame and body type as she let her tongue taste the sweet succulent flesh for herself just a bit.
But Goku's fingers twitched, he grunted, fighting against the forced sleep, his saiyan body rejecting the poison in his veins. Quickly building up an immunity and driving the saiyan to rise. His eye opening, before his senses kicked in fully. "HEY-!"
Princess Snake who was leering over Chi-Chi's head, one attendant grabbing her shoulder, the other had her sights set on Chi-Chi's thigh all stopped and looked at the now awake Goku, "Get off of her!" Throwing up a wave of his ki as his body was not firing on all cylinders quite yet blasted the three women off of her. "What were you doing?!" He shouted now upright, his mouth breathing heavily.
"My, Goku- we-we were just- just-" Snake stammered having been caught off guard she couldn't hide it. "Oh to hell with it. You are going to be our next meal!" She hissed her face turning back into its twisted form.
"You aren't strong enough to stop me." He shouted back to which Princess Snake laughed.
"Oh, really? But am I really your opponent? How about I show you where you really are my food." The visage of the three women vanished and Goku found himself inside the writhing innards of a beast. "How about my belly, a snake's belly to be in fact, ahahahaha!" A voice echoed in mocking laughter. "You are already trapped and will be my nourishm- Hey what are you doing?!"
Goku picked up Chi-Chi who was struggling to wake up herself, "No one touches Chi-Chi with their tongue except me-!" He said angrily throwing his hand down towards the ground. "Hyahhh!" He screamed blasting a long stream of ki straight into the creature's vulnerable innards and sending the two of them upwards. The pain made the large serpent cry out in pain as it was being jabbed by a ki beam.
Flipping out of its mouth, Goku looked down at the massive serpent now looking back up at him with anger. "How dare you! I am the great Princess Snake!"
"Sorry but I am not food and we have a visit with King Kai." Goku announced, holding Chi-Chi now bridal style in his arms. He shouldn't have been so easily led astray, Chi-Chi was right, they should've just kept going and this had all been a waste of time.
"Get back here!" The giant snake shouted, floating in the air and began to chase after Goku who darted all over the place. Using his flight and speed Goku zipped all around, the creature snapping and biting where he was twisting and turning in an ever desperate manner to catch its food. Until its body tangled itself among its many coils.
"Well I'd like to stay but it appears you're all tied up! Goodbye!" Goku said with a laugh and turned away as the giant beast was firmly tangled like a mess of yarn.
"Wait!" the snake called out but Goku kept flying away. "Call me please!" She let loose in a final beg but Goku did not turn back. Holding Chi-Chi against his chest Goku had to make up for lost time.

The remaining three weeks were less eventful, the two coming up with a good schedule for upping their pace and not having to stop and rest as often. The two swapping between carrying one another for several hours everyday so one could rest, the added weight was a light training session which both parties had a chance to just focus on the task at hand.
But, they finally found it. "The end…" Chi-Chi said almost shocked at the prospect of seeing the long winding trail coming to an almost fishtail-like end.
"Yep, looks like it. Man that was quite the little run we had." Acting like the near two month marathon was naught but an afternoon 6k run.
"So… where is King Kai?" Chi-Chi asked not spotting anything except more yellow clouds. As she looked she was reminded of an old saying which she had to vocalize. "I hope this isn't one of those training moments where it's not actually going to meet the actual master but the journey itself kind of deals. I swear if that's the case I'm punching someone- not you Goku." She said noticing how he took a step back from her.
Scratching his head Goku then looked up, "Chi-Chi." His eyes now fixated on a small green planet with a paved stone path sprawled down the center. "I think that's it."
"What's it?" She said looking back to Goku and then following his gaze. "Wow… it's a planet?" A small one, but a planet nonetheless.
"Hey, that's probably where King Kai is, come on let's go!" Goku said jumping into the air and making his way towards the area. Chi-Chi found a smile again and followed after him, knowing that now their journey might not have been for nothing.
As they neared the planet looking around for someone on the surface, both fighters quickly released a yelp as they were practically sucked down to the surface. Their bodies and clothes became a hindrance as they both slammed into the ground. their bodies leaving indents into the finely mowed grass. "W-What is this?" Chi-Chi said as she struggled to lift her body up from the ground.
"Ugh, I don't know… this whole planet… it's heavy." Goku stated, the grass felt thick, and his fingers couldn't break easily into the soft dirt like on Earth.
"It's, like the gravity is way higher!" Realizing that might be what was pulling them down, the logical leap making sense as one wouldn't just be sucked down towards a planet without a reason. Though being dead she couldn't exactly have this be rationale could she?
"Hghh." Goku struggled making it to one knee before lifting himself up into a stance. Chi-Chi took another whole minute to join him standing upright until a furry brown body jumped in front of them making Chi-Chi nearly lose her balance as it startled her. "What the hell?" She said as a monkey stood in front of them its finger in its mouth as it looked at the two of them like they were bizarre ones.
"Hey Chi-Chi, look it's a monkey." Stating the obvious, "I know that!" She snapped at him as she managed to rebalance herself. "What's it doing here? And how is it able to move like that?" The animal walking around seemingly unaffected by the intense gravity that Goku and Chi-Chi were both under.
"Dunno, maybe he's King Kai?" Goku said trying to follow him to which Chi-Chi rolled her eyes.
"Goku that's a monkey it's not King Kai."
He gave her a funny look, pouting with his lips. "How do you know, I had a tail like that, it could be King Kai."
"Ugh, Goku, it's not King Kai. If it was King Kai then wouldn't it tell us that?" She said gesturing how the animal behaved well… like an animal. "See it's picking its own nose and scratching its but, that not King Kai."
"I do that too."
"DISGUSTING and you put your hands on me?!" Chi-Chi shrieked almost reviled at the mere notion Goku had been digging for gold and rubbing hits dirty hands all over her. Wasn't she filthy enough just from all the tons of sweat?
"Eheheh," A voice snorted, "Oh it seems that I have a two four today. Must be my golfing skills. Get it, a hehehehe, a two FOUR?!" Goku and Chi-Chi both turned a strange looking blue man, his hands covering his face as he unabashedly laughed at his own terrible humor until he coughed and recollected himself. "Well you are right young lady, I am King Kai. That monkey is Bubbles, he lives here with me."
It certainly answered some questions but the Kai put his hands behind his back as his face became serious. "I know why you've come. You need to defeat the saiyans, is that right?"
"Yes, can you help us, King Kai?" Chi-Chi asked, "We were defeated before but we aren't even close to how strong these other saiyans are supposed to be."
"Hmm, I can help you but before we even begin training I must warn you that these saiyans are even stronger than me."
"No way? Really?" Goku exclaimed, he was shocked and excited at the idea. Two very strong opponents, even stronger than the man they were speaking with right now were headed to Earth? A part of him couldn't wait for this year
"Yes, but with my training I have no doubt that the two of you will be able to succeed me as well," casting a gaze upwards King Kai let a smile show on his face before holding up a single finger. "Now let's get started."
That was something she could approve of, they didn't have time to waste anymore. Chi-Chi told herself as she nodded. "So what do you want us to do King Kai?"
"Simple, catch my friend here Bubbles." The Kai snickered in amusement, "Don't monkey around too long aheheheh!" The old Kai laughed before the monkey took off at a blistering speed leaving Goku and Chi-Chi to slowly stomp their feet as they attempted walking after it. They had less than 10 months to get some training in and apparently this was going to be quite the training regimine.
