Chapter six
The Ox King was sitting in his kitchen trying to console his daughter, "It's okay, Chi-chi, tell me what's wrong."
"Well," Chi-chi sobbed, "he just let me leave, just like that! If I'm so important to him, you'd think he'd put up a better fight!"
"That's not necessarily true," he tried to defend Goku, "maybe he couldn't think of anything to say, you did kind of take him by surprise. I bet he's on his way over here right now to talk things over with you."
The front door was suddenly flung across the room. Goku stood where the door had been, he was still very pumped from his little talk with Vegeta. They just stared at him for a few seconds speechless.
"Goku!" Chi-chi yelled at him, "What did I tell you?!!"
"That's enough out of you!" Goku yelled at her, "You're coming home with me right this second!"
"I don't think so!" she yelled right back.
"You don't really have a choice in the matter," he yelled, "I beat Freeza, I don't think you would be a problem!"
The Ox King couldn't help but smile, Chi-chi glared at him, "Well, I'm not going! I think your insensitive!"
"Do you now, I don't care what you think," his voice still hadn't changed, he decided to mess with her mind a bit, "You're coming with me now!" He powered up, bursting into a super-sayian.
Her mouth dropped as her husband ran toward her, she let out a scream as he scooped her up and flew out of the house.
Locoyus was walking past Goku's house as the boys were running out. She dove in a bush so they wouldn't see her. As they ran by she noticed something big and bulky in Goten's arms. She examined it closer and realized that it was a book that looked similar to the one her brother had shown her. In fact, it was the book she needed, and those brats had it. How they found it before her, she didn't know, but she did know that she had to get that book. She silently pursued them.
"This way," Goten said as he looked at the map in confusion, "I think," he turned the map in different directions to try to figure out how to read it.
"Give me that!" Trunks grabbed the map, "this way!"
After an hour of walking in a strange forest they were coming to the clearing. As they exited the forest they looked over the horizon to see that they had come to the mountains. There seemed to be no end to the mountains, they went on as far as the eye could see. The gate was somewhere out there, but where? The map wasn't much help at this point, and they hadn't found Gohan along the way. The only thing they could do was to search the mountains in hope of stumbling upon the gate.
*Great,* Locoyus thought, *they don't know where they're going anymore, but at least they got me this far. Now all I have to do is get the book, it shouldn't be too hard to find the gate from here.*
"Let's go this way," Goten suggested.
"Um," Trunks looked around, "I think we should try to figure out which way Gohan went."
"Right," Goten looked this way and that, "how do we know which way he went?" Trunks slightly rolled his eyes, his companion wasn't among the brightest of people, "We have to look for tracks, or some kind of sign that someone passed through."
"Oh," Goten looked again, "like this?", he pointed to a drawn arrow in the dirt.
"Do you think Gohan did that?" Trunks asked.
Goten looked up at Trunks and answered him very loudly, "Of course my brother left us a trail because he knew we would be coming a little later than him." He lowered his voice and got closer to Trunks, "he didn't really, we're being followed."
"By who?" Trunks whispered back.
"I'm not sure, probably Locoyus. What should we do?" Goten asked.
"Follow the trail," he raised his voice, "Let's go now!"
"Yeah, he'll be waiting for us at the gate!" Goten yelled as they ran up the path that had been so clearly marked for them.
They'd been walking for a while and decided to stop and make sure they hadn't gotten off track. Goten looked over the edge of the mountain and was soon covered by a rather large shadow. He looked up but couldn't see who it was. The figure knocked him away from the edge and landed behind him. Goten jumped up ready to fight and was surprised to see his older brother behind him.
"Gohan!" he yelled, "We were looking for you!"
"I know," he smiled.
"How do you know?" Trunks asked as he walked over.
"I was on the roof when you two came home," he laughed.
"You were following us the whole time?" Goten was slightly mad.
"Not the whole time," he sat down.
"Did you draw the arrows on the ground?" Trunks asked.
"I thought you drew them so you wouldn't get lost or something," Gohan said, "Why?"
"We didn't, we think Locoyus did," Trunks told him.
"So you followed them! That's real bright! 'Look, here's the way to certain doom, let's follow!'" he mocked them, "we're obviously walking straight into a trap of some kind."
"Then what should we do?" Goten asked.
"Well, we should go to the path that leads to the gate," Gohan suggested.
"It's too late for that!" Locoyus laughed.
"Who's there?" Gohan stood up, he could hear her, but he couldn't see her.
"It's her again," Goten whined, "I'm getting really sick of you!"
"And I you, you little brat!" she snapped at him, "Give me the book!"
"Don't give it to her guys!" Gohan warned them, "It's the key to the whole thing!"
"I know, and that's why I'm going to get it!" Locoyus laughed, "Now give me the book!"
"No way lady!" Goten yelled, "You're not getting this book!"
"Just how are you going to stop me, little boy?" she laughed as they got in fighting stances, "Oh please, you can't do anything to me!"
"There's got to be some way to hurt her," Gohan whispered to them.
"Well, you'd better think of something, and fast, because we're running out of options!" Trunks reminded him.
"I GOT IT!" Gohan yelled, he raised his voice just enough so she could hear him, "All we have to do is lure her away from the gate, then one of you will open the gate and the people on the other side will be no probable for you to stop!"
"But we'd be way out numbered!" Goten reminded him.
"Yeah, but you forget, 'you can't hurt me outside my realm' works both ways!" Gohan smiled.
"I don't think so!" Locoyus yelled as she ran towards them, "I'm getting that book and bringing my people into this realm, NOW!"
"Nice plan, idiot!" Trunks said as he dodged her attack, "Now she's going to kill us!"
"Not necessarily," Gohan lifted up the book , he could tell she was running towards him.
Locoyus smiled as she raised her hand to go through the book into him, but her hand hit the book. "What's going on? I should be able to go through this!"
Gohan smacked her off the ledge with the book, "Not really, lady! This book is the only thing that is linked between the realms."
"What does that mean?" Trunks asked.
"It means that she can use it and so can we," Gohan explained.
"That was so cool!" Goten was looking down the edge and watching her body fall down to the bottom.
She hit the ground and slowly stood up. She brushed herself off and began to ascend to them again.
"Hey," Goten said, "she's coming back and she looks majorly pissed off!"
"Okay," Gohan motioned for them to come over to him, "this is the plan."
"Goku!" Chi-chi yelled at the top of her lungs, "this is ridiculous! You're acting like a child!"
"Yeah, well you're acting like a spoiled one!" Goku laughed at his wife.
"That's not funny!" Chi-chi whined.
"I think it's very funny, at least you look funny like this!" Goku walked around her with a huge smile on his face. He had tied her so she was hanging from the ceiling by her arms. He twisted her and she began to go in circles.
"Goku!" Chi-chi yelled, "You undo this right now, or I'll-"
"Okay, I'm sorry," Goku sat down in front of his wife, "but we need to talk, don't you think?"
"Yes we do, but can't I talk sitting down?!" she yelled.
"No, because if I get you down you'll run away again." He smiled, "Besides, I think you look cute like that." He stood in front of her and gently brushed her hair out of her face, "You know I love you, right?"
Chi-chi began to cry.
Goku sighed, "Not exactly the response I was hoping for. I know that sometimes I'm not as considerate as I should be, or as smart as I should be, but I try. You don't make it easy for me either, ya' know, you always yell at me for not doing the right thing before I have a chance to do the right thing, but I don't mind- I think it's cute. I try to be a good husband, father, leader, trainer, and fighter, but it's hard to do it all. I'm a leader, trainer, and fighter because I have to be. I'm a father because you wanted me to be, but I'm a husband because I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you. You're what holds me together when it all gets to be too much, if you were to leave- I- I don't know what I'd do. I know that I don't always tell you stuff like this, and that's because I'm not very good at it." He looked up at his wife, who was now crying hysterically, "Okay, I guess I screwed this up."
"No you didn't Goku," Chi-chi cried, "I don't know why I left, I'm sorry that I did, I just needed to hear what you just told me-" she cried some more. Goku untied her and held her close to him. They stood like that for a while, he calmly stroked her hair as she sobbed in his arms.
Chi-chi finally stopped crying, "I love you so much, Goku, don't you ever let me do anything like that again!" "Oh, I won't, believe me, I won't," He said as her bent down and kissed her.
****Well, Goku and Chi-chi are back together (which I'm glad about)!!! Sorry it got a little mushy with them, but it just had to happen sooner or later=) So, review and I'll be posting section 7 as soon as I can=)
