POV Goku
I cannot believe that I'm stuck here on Earth because they need to bring Chi Chi and I to court. What does that even mean?
I asked Bulma, who usually is informed on everything, but she made things even more confused to me.
For what she told me, when in these cases someone goes to court is because they cannot decide on something, the most common case it's custody of the child.
But this is not our case… so what is it?
I am in my old house, who turned out to be incredibly small now that I've grown up and I realized what was about to happen: I was about to leave Earth, for ever. I said it, and it feels incredibly strange. I wasn't born here, but I was raised here. All of my memories, my friends and what remains of my family are here.
It all started a long time ago; I don't know how many years… I guess somewhat like 50, or something less.
I was in the hole created by the landing of my spaceship and I was found by my grandpa Gohan. He was such a great guy. There are some moments where I stay still and think, in my mind only one event comes up: me killing grandpa Gohan as an Oozaru. I still can't get over that. We even tried to revive him once, but he refused to come back… I guess we do look alike a bit.
All the battles: Demon King Piccolo, Piccolo jr, Raditz, Vegeta & Nappa, Frieza, Cooler, Broly, the Androids, Cell, Majin Buu, Black Goku and Zamasu… I fought so much; I saved this planet so many times that I came to think I am the only reason it keeps being in danger.
Chi Chi was a big turning point in my life. It came like a thunderstorm, sudden and powerful. I thought that being married was like being best friends, with some special things that you could do only with that person…
Caulifla came and completely changed the way I thought, showing me the light. She is the right one. I can sense it, the right one for me. She's much younger, a bit over 20 I guess, I'm almost 50… not that for Saiyan ageing that matters too much, but in any case I wouldn't care. She is strong, a fast learner, beautiful, funny… she's the top one in every way you can think of.
That is why my decision of ending this cycle of my life is final.
It all started in this small house, when Bulma arrived and dragged me into searching the dragon balls. That makes me think, I owe her a bunch. I feel guilty also, if it wasn't for her I would never be the Goku I am now and I think I've left her behind too much, while she even placed her husband in second place when it was about me.
I decide then to go to her house and see if I could have the chance of seeing her, before this process in court and my one-way trip to Universe 6.
Instead of teleporting, I decide to continue my nostalgic moment and call for the Nimbus. It arrives, but then I wonder if she would take me on after the things that happened between me, Caulifla and Chi Chi I am happy to see that she does take me on and so I fly towards Capsule Corporation, in West City.
From where I live it is literally at the other side of the world, so the journey is a bit long, but it's worth the view of this wonderful planet. I arrive to Capsule Corporation and search for Bulma:
"Goku! What brings you here? Shouldn't you be to court?"
"The process won't start in a couple of hours. Figured I'd take the time to come here and talk to you"
"About what?" Bulma was worried a bit, I could see it. I guess it has to do with our normally routine, when you talk to her something's wrong. That was not the case.
We go in a park in West City and we sit on a bench to have a chat
"Nothing bad, just thinking about everything has happened during these years. All the battles, friendships made… I realized I had to apologize to you, Bulma"
"Apologize Goku, why?"
"You were the first one to meet me. You dragged me into this wild adventure that is coming to an end… the very first I've spent some time with other than grandpa. You've always done so much for me, even putting Vegeta behind… and I don't think I've ever thanked you or repaid you as you should've been. So sorry and… thanks Bulma. I wouldn't be me if it wasn't for you"
"Goku… come here and hug me"
We hugged very long; it was felt. She truly is my best friend.
"You see Goku, no need to apologize. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be here now. You saved us so many times that I lost count. I would've died on Namek, or by the hands of the Red Ribbon Army… you repaid me with my life, basically… you're truly the best"
"Thanks Bulma. I appreciate it"
We stay on that bench talking about everything and remembering our adventures together, so long that it came the time for me to go to court and I didn't even realize.
"Oh well… I guess I have to get going Bulma. Thanks for this ride, it won't be the last time you see me… believe this old guy here"
"I count on it Goku…." she has a kind of sad look on her face, I hate seeing her like that
"What's up?"
"Huh? Oh, nothing… just wondering how things would've played out if I said what I should've said decades ago"
"What?"
"Nothing Goku… time has passed, I lost my shot… go to court or you'll be late. See you soon, I'll miss you"
"Miss you too"
And with that being said I fly towards court, where Chi Chi and the OX King are waiting for me along with Goten.
This whole thing apparently was about Chi Chi wanting to undo the divorce, because she believes my feelings for Caulifla are fake and I truly don't love her. I was shocked, but I had no more words to tell her… so I just hugged my son Goten, my son Gohan. Greeted Videl and her daughter I won't meet. Shook the hand of the OX King and left the building.
I called for Whis, who brought me to Vados, who brought me to Sadala… it was time to finally be with Caulifla
A/N: Hey guys! Thanks for reading through Chapter 9 of INSEPARABLE ENEMIES! This chapter was different from the others, Goku felt a bit nostalgic as he wanted to leave the planet that welcomed him, raised him and the planet he always protected... to start a new life in Sadala (Universe 6) with Caulifla.
I wanted to be specific on something about last chapter, Cabba vs Caulifla. I received a negative review on that chapter, it wasn't clear on what part of it... but I guess it was on the content written. I would like to apologize first, if anyone felt disturbed or disliked the chapter for what it says. It was the only way I found to complete Cabba's evil turn based on the obsession he has for Caulifla, and every time she refused him, taking for granted also the feelings he shared many years before the events written.
I tried many other ways, but that one was the "perfect one" in my view, it wouldn't have had the same effect and it would have disconnected with my view of Cabba in this story: a crazy, obsessed freak.
So, again apologies, but I can say this: no more chapters like that will be posted… as the story now takes a turn as Goku's headed to Sadala.
What will happen now that they rejoined on Sadala?
