The rest of the weekend was quieter and Goku decided not to go out 'hunting' again, maybe he was still a little traumatized by what happened that night, or maybe he just wasn't in the mood to go out with any woman again at that moment, or at least not in person, since there were still those he knew through social media and kept in touch with until something interesting happened. Instead, he spent the rest of his free time managing his contacts, working out and dedicating himself to his hobby.

He hadn't heard from Helles, but then remembered that he hadn't passed his phone number to her or taken her number either (he rarely took). Although it was easy for her to track him through social media, since Goku was not that common a name, still, nothing happened. Goku didn't find this odd, it wouldn't be the first time, it wasn't as if 100% of the women he got into bed with ran after him, but there were always a few that breathe down on his neck and he had suspected that Helles might be one of those. But just as he had been wrong other times, with women who he had imagined would not be clingy, but who in fact was, and very much so, he had also been wrong about those who he thought would be, but who, like him, just wanted casual sex and nothing more.

Well, apparently, he was wrong about Helles, which was actually excellent for him.

During the lunch break at work, Goku told his friends what had happened that night. Something that was still hard for him to absorb, it had all seemed so real, but when he thought about it coldly, it seemed too absurd to be true.

"How bizarre!"

"What a crazy woman!"

"Yeah, right?" Goku grimaced and then took a piece of a sandwich to his mouth, but didn't stop talking, even while chewing. "I ran out of there as fast as I could."

"Dude, she could've poisoned you!" Yamcha warned.

"There are a lot of crazy people out there and you keep going in the homes of women you barely know." Krillin commented after wiping his mouth with a napkin.

Goku laughed and took a sip of his sparkling water. That situation was so comical that it looked like it came straight out of a comic book. "Oh come on, I've been through worse and you know it."

"Like the time you bang on a married woman and her husband almost beat the shit out of you?" Tien sneered. "I remember that story. Classic!"

"In my defense, I didn't know she was married!" Goku awkwardly laughed. "You know I would never mess with a woman in a relationship."

"All right, but how was that?" Questioned Yamcha, changing the subject. "Did she cast a curse or… a spell on you? Did she bewitch you? What was she, a witch? A sorceress?"

Goku swallowed the piece of sandwich he was chewing and shrugged as he thought. He didn't believe in such things, witchcraft or sorcery were the stuff of fairy tales, not real life.

"I dunno. I couldn't understand, it happened all so fast. But it really felt like she was putting a curse on me, y'know? I felt a shiver just the way she looked at me, she changed her voice and a strong wind blew at the same time, and the kitchen window was closed!"

"But what exactly did she tell you?"

"Something like... wanting them all, but not wanting to get attached... And then the woman I lie down with will live in loneliness...?" he then made a confused face. Was that really it? He couldn't remember very well, he had been so terrified by Ribrianne's fearful face at that moment that he hadn't even listened properly to what she was saying.

"That doesn't make sense."

"Not at all." agreed Krillin. "Doesn't she mean that you will live in solitude?"

"Yeah, maybe. That makes more sense. I think she also said something about no woman wanting anything to do with me anymore." He sneered. "As if that were possible!"

"That's odd. Are you sure this really happened? Weren't you too drunk?"

"If it really happened, man, I honestly don't know, but I'm sure I wasn't that drunk. The effect of the alcohol had already worn off."

At that moment a waitress approached the table where they were sitting to remove the used utensils. It was not the same waitress who had served them initially. This one was young, pretty, with straight red hair. And all Goku had to do was look straight into her for his smile to grow on his lips, capturing the attention of the girl who had certainly found him charming.

"Is everything okay? Do you need anything more?"

They shook their heads, but Goku thought he needed something more, from her. With a seductive smile on his face, he said: "Can you bring the bill for us, please?"

She nodded with a shy little smile and left, while they complained about the work, but in less than two minutes the waitress returned to the table and handed them the bill to check. As they were paying their portions separately, Goku began to speak: "So..." he looked at the tag on the red-haired woman's uniform. "... Suno, what a beautiful name!"

"Thank you!" she suppressed a small smile and her cheeks took on a soft pinkish tone that matched the color of her hair.

"Are you new? I don't think I've ever seen you working here before. We work nearby and often have lunch here."

The girl smiled meekly and replied: "Yes, today is my first day, actually. I hope you had a great time!"

"Sure thing." he smiled and touched her gently on the hand as he handed her back the receipt, with his share and a good tip. "Now I'll have one more reason to come back to the restaurant." he winked at her, and she smiled bashfully.

"It will be a pleasure to welcome you, sir!"

"Ah, Goku. My name is Goku! Please, no sir, you can just call me by my name!"

"It'll be a pleasure to welcome you, Goku." she repeated and then looked at the others who were bored watching their interaction. "To all of you. Please come back!" she made a point of looking at Goku when she said 'come back'.

"Yeah, of course we'll be back!" Goku stated and Krillin, Yamcha and Tien just gave a gentle smile and nodded.

Then they got up and left the restaurant, but as soon as they passed through the door, Krillin punched his friend on the arm and said: "Hell no Goku, cut that out. Not the waitress!"

"I can already see you tricking the poor innocent girl and we all know the result." Yamcha complained. "Then it will be just like that other waitress at the Genki Dama restaurant. I don't feel like eating spit-up food again! Look for a woman somewhere else, man."

"Tell me about it, I used to like that restaurant." Tien added as he crossed his arms. "And this restaurant is good, fairly priced, close to the office... Don't do this to us! You could just as well pick up women anywhere else. You don't have to punish us because you can't keep into your pants."

"Oh, c'mon, relax! Like Yamcha wouldn't do the same if he had the chance!" Goku laughed nonchalantly, he knew his friends had a point in what they were saying, Suno really seemed to be those clingy women, but a little flirting wouldn't hurt anyone. "Besides, Tien can flirt with the girl in the coffee house, but I can't flirt with the cute waitress?"

Tien turned red like a bell pepper at the same instant. Goku grimaced in amusement and laughed, accompanied by Yamcha and Krillin, who were also aware of their tall, bald friend's interest in the blonde who worked in the coffee house on the first floor of the building where they worked.

"Hey, I… t-this has nothing to do with it!" muttered Tien. "You know what, I'm not going to lunch with you guys anymore!"


She massaged her temples in an attempt to try to find some patience, if only she had a little more alcohol in her system! She gave a nasalized laugh at the thought that she would need many liters of alcohol to endure this torture of conversation.

Just across from her was a man a little older than her, with long brown hair that was tied up in a messy ponytail, he had a thin goatee beard on his face that drew in his chin with a smile and an arrogant pose. In his fingers he held a glass of neat whiskey that he swung before putting it to his mouth and had an extremely strong and exaggerated perfume that was almost nauseating. He surely thought she was laughing at something he was saying and took it as a compliment, maybe he had made a joke, she didn't know, she didn't care, she just wanted to enjoy the saturday night with her best friend and relax a little after a tiring week, was it too much to ask?

But no, instead she was there listening to that asshole who kept talking and bragging about his big car. Did her friend have to be late that night?

The man then came closer, shortening the space between them.

"The engine is awesome, it's a two-point zero liter turbocharged four-cylinder, with three hundred and eighty horsepower. Oh, you probably don't even know what horsepower is, do you, baby doll?" he smiled at her, who just stared at him coldly and forced a fake smile. She might not know much about cars, but she wasn't ignorant either, even if she hadn't grown up in the big city. And she didn't like his tone one bit, assuming that she didn't understand what he was talking about. "But so, what I can guarantee you is that it goes from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in less than five seconds. It's fantastic."

"Hm... Wow!" her answer was sarcastic, but he didn't seem to notice. And he was still assuming that she was the dumb one in that conversation?

"I bet you're dying to take it for a ride, aren't you, doll?" he said almost in a whisper as he slid closer to her, practically gluing his body to hers. "I guarantee you'll like its power."

The man gave a mischievous grin, watching her with a predator's eye. He licked his lips sensually, still studying her. She was a stunningly beautiful woman, with long straight black hair, dark brown eyes, a curvilinear and shaped body, one of those in which literally any outfit would fit super well, it wasn't hard for a man to be interested in her, not really! But even though she was the target of many 'predators', she didn't use to fall for the bullshit of just anyone, much less one as superficial as that one. In fact, she avoided going out with that kind of guy, because she believed that they couldn't offer anything good and that one, besides being arrogant, wasn't even that attractive.

"Erm..." she made a frown and moved a little further away from him, but his hand that had been gently touching her shoulder moved subtly down to her waist. "I don't think so..."

"Are you really going to refuse a ride with me, princess?"

"Yes, I will!"

"Oh, stop. No need to play hard to get, baby doll," he whispered and pulled back behind her ear a strand of her straight black hair that fell across her face, which made her stifle the touch. She was not at all comfortable with that. "We both know where this conversation is going to end. It'd be better for us if... if we cut this trivia short." He slid his hand close to her ass, causing her to slap his arm away.

"Hey, get your hand off me!" she protested and was about to kick him away if not interrupted by her friend.

"I'm here, I'm here! Sorry I'm late, but the Uber driver got lost and had to make the longest loop to get here and..." said a slender, light-eyed, platinum-haired young man who arrived at the table. He stopped talking when he stared at the specimen next to her. "And this handsome man is? Aren't you going to introduce me, Chichi?" he looked the man up and down, studying the guy, who stared back at him with a look of disgust.

"Whis! Finally you're here! I was already worried that you were going to blow me out". "Chichi sounded relieved to see her friend, and Whis understood right from the look in her eyes what was happening.

"Of course not, Chi, never, are you nuts?!" Whis took a seat across from Chichi and the guy.

"Friend of yours, baby doll?" asked the man with a disgusted expression and wrinkling his nose at the platinum-haired boy.

"As I had said..." she tried to remember the guy's name, but couldn't because the minute he opened his mouth to speak to her, she had stopped paying attention to him "... I was expecting a friend of mine." she then pointed at Whis. "And now that he's here, we want to enjoy the evening together."

The man laughed, debauched. "Come on, baby doll, I guarantee that what I have to offer you will be much better."

"What's your name, darling?" Whis asked.

"Elec!" he replied, dryly.

"Elec, okay... the thing is, I thank you for keeping my friend company while I was gone, but now-"

"Come on, baby doll, our conversation was so good." Elec cut him off, suddenly turning to Chichi. Whis stared at him with a disapproving look. What a stupid guy!

Elec then approached Chichi again. "Come on, did I tell you that my apartment is in the penthouse? I'll take you there so you can enjoy one of the best views in Satan City, along with other things." That said, he slipped his hand down to Chichi's ass again and squeezed it over her jeans, causing Chichi to push him away with both arms.

"Get out of here! I said I don't want to! And stop calling me baby doll"

He gave a disbelieving laugh and stared at her, before saying: "Are you really going to dismiss me to chat with this fag?"

Not a second passed and all Elec felt was a pulsing pain in his face as his body staggered backward and the glass of whiskey fell to the floor. Whis made a huge 'o' with his mouth and widened his eyes, while Chichi fumed with rage.

"What the ... fuck?"

It took Elec a few seconds to realize that Chichi had punched him in the face, and then he felt something dripping over his mouth. He brought his hand to his nose, feeling the pain intensify even more, and then looked at his fingers that were red and bloody. His blood. His light silk shirt was already starting to stain with the dripping blood. By now several people around their table had stopped whatever they were doing to observe the scene.

"You bitch! You broke my nose!" he growled before getting up. He tried to advance on Chichi, but what he didn't count on was that the brunette knew how to defend herself.

"You disgusting pig!" she shouted and sent him flying away with one blow, making him fall again.

"Chichi!" Whis tried to hold her by the arm to stop her from going to Elec. "Leave that asshole alone, he's not worth it! Chichi!"

"I'm not letting go of anything." she shouted, nervous, and marched towards him. Her gaze was blazing and it looked like she was going to kill the guy. "This sexist, homophobic piece of shit, keeps insulting you and touching me!"

The whole bar was practically surrounding the commotion, but nobody was doing anything to break up the fight, except Whis, instead, they were watching and others were filming with their cell phones. But in the middle of that crowd appeared Goku, who was on the other side of the bar and, alarmed by the commotion and the loud noise, went over to check out what was going on. When he realized that it was a fight between a man and a woman, he was horrified and tried to get through the crowd to go over and help the girl. How could nobody be doing anything to help?

"You're a fucking slut who doesn't know how to appreciate a compliment. You want to be with your faggot friend, that's your problem, bitch! Look what you've done! You broke my nose! Fucking whore!"

Elec made a move as if to go at her again, but Chichi was not intimidated, quite the opposite. She tripped him and threw him to the ground with everything, but this time she held him by the arm, immobilizing him while she held him with both hands and her left leg pressed him by the shoulder and neck.

"You're a disgusting jerk. I should break your arm so you can learn to respect others!"

"Will someone get this crazy woman off of me?" whined the man, who made pained faces.

By the time Goku made it through the crowd he realized that the woman was already in control of the situation and then he understood that the one who needed help, in that case, was the man and not her, but it wasn't like he was going to help the man, whatever he had done he probably deserved that. For a split second he grinned, but worry spoke louder again and so he continued his way over there to hold the man down, it wasn't just because she was immobilizing him that it was okay and that she wasn't at risk or hurt. Although he could tell she could handle herself just fine.

Before he could reach them, however, the security guards arrived and Chichi didn't even have time to see who separated who, suddenly Elec was being carried away from her.

"Wow, lady! Are you okay?" asked Goku as he approached her carefully.

"Get out of here, asshole!" she shouted as she was dragged away by another security guard along with Whis.

Goku's eyes widened as he watched her walk away, just watching her shapely silhouette, but as incredible as it seems, he didn't think the sharp answer was bad. He could see a unique ferocity in her gaze.


In the toilet, she was recovering from the brief struggle she had had. She knew that she had been the attraction of the night and that it was probably already all over the internet, going viral. She was just mentally grateful that her father wasn't into all that technology stuff, so he wouldn't see her causing trouble out there, like she was a teenager...

"Chichi, you didn't have to turn off at the man who came to talk to you!" Whis commented as he helped her fix her messy hair. He was indeed in the ladies' room, but being gay, and after seeing what Chichi was capable of, as he was together with her, no one dared to object to his presence there. "I think he just wanted to help!"

"Oh, I don't know, I was irritated, I had just beaten that human trash and suddenly another man arrived, who knows if he wasn't trying to take advantage of me too. I just wanted a night of fun and that stupid jerk managed to ruin it. He came out of nowhere, made small talk, and stayed as if he owned the table!"

"I'm glad we didn't get kicked out of the bar! But that jackass was. Serves him right!"

"They're not crazy. After everyone filmed him trying to beat me up, it'd have looked really bad for them to kick us out." Chichi then sighed heavily. "I know I'm a little short-tempered, but I couldn't let him leave like that after he treated you like that. Sorry for ruining our night!"

"I know, darling, I know. No need to apologize. I'm used to your country ways." he laughed and Chichi peed his tongue at him. "I know that in the countryside people are not very civilized and- OW!" he groaned when Chichi gave him a playful slap on the arm, not that it hurt.

Whis giggled, and Chichi only grimaced. He loved to joke about Chichi's countryside origins. Chichi then took the opportunity to touch up her lipstick and Whis continued: "But seriously, I thought it was good that you punched that creep in the face! Jerks like him deserve a lot more of a beating!" Whis chuckled as he smoothed her hair for the last time. "But what was the matter with you that you were actually talking to him? I know you, and I know you'd have told him to fuck off right from the start. You were actually polite when you told him to leave us alone."

Having known Chichi for a long time, Whis knew that her friend wasn't one to give way to that kind of man. Even if Elec was good-looking and reasonably attractive – at least before he opened his mouth to start talking, Chichi was usually short and sweet with that type of man, who exuded toxicity from afar.

Chichi sighed and threw her head back and then to the side. What had gotten into her? Maybe it was because people always said she was too rough with others, maybe she didn't want to judge him on his appearance, maybe she wanted to give him a chance to show she had a positive side, or maybe she just wanted to test her own patience, which was going fine until he started offending his friend.

"I was in a good mood." she answered simply.

"You were interested in him, weren't you?" Whis waggled his eyebrows.

"Ew! No! God!"

The platinum-haired boy gave a loud laugh. "Come on, if he wasn't rotten inside, it would even be possible to waste half an hour with him. And you… it's been a while since you've enjoyed your free time..."

"Uugh, Whis, shut up!" Chichi laughed. "But anyway... I guess the mood for the night is kind of... dead, huh? At least our drinks were free, they won't charge us because of the situation! Although you didn't even drink anything..."

"Oh no, no, don't say that!" Whis shook his head frantically. "I saw on my horoscope that my day promised high emotions, I refuse to think that this is the highest I will experience tonight! Let's go somewhere else, and let's not let our night end because of a jerk like that! We deserve to have fun!"

"You're right! Let's call Cheelai?!"

"Oh no, she said she was going out with that insufferable boyfriend of hers!" Whis waved his hand. "Never mind her, we still have the whole night ahead of us. Who knows, maybe we can find some cute guys to keep us company? There are only ugly men in this bar, saved for that cute one who you dismissed." Whis stuck his nose up and Chichi laughed.

"Ahhh no, no more men, mister! Tonight's the girl's night! No more men allowed."

"Oh, okay... "Whis rolled his eyes but smiled. "What I don't do for you, my defender, wonder woman! Come on, I know a great bar that's much better than this dump shit."

Chichi pouted, she had chosen the bar this time and had chosen it precisely because it was a place that played rock music, and had a relaxed and fun atmosphere, at least that's what she thought. She had no idea that it was frequented by guys as elitist as that Elec.

They probably wouldn't be back there anytime soon.


Notes:

Oh, no, not Suno Don't worry, as much she appeared here as someone of interest for Goku, she won't be rivaling Chichi.

And now you know our second protagonist and she's badass What do you think of her? I hope you liked!

But she didn't give a damn for Goku. Well... but that's just the beginning!

Thank you for the all reviews!
