A/N: I know, I know. It takes forever for me to get up a new chapter. I'm not very good at posting new chapters, but I had semester tests last week, so it isn't my fault. Well, don't want to delay you any longer: On to the show!
Chapter Four: The Day Hath Come
The day had finally come. The day for which the entire earth had prepared. For once, the Z Fighters weren't alone in their fears. All around the world, people were gathering together, praying to their gods that this wouldn't be their last day together. Even the cold ChiChi, who was married to the strongest man alive, had her fear of Cell. She stood with her husband and only son, tears threatening to envelop her eyes.
"Now, Goku," she said, addressing her husband, " I want you to promise me Gohan won't fight. Promise me he'll come back alive, Goku!"
Goku looked down on his wife. 'Oh, Kami,' he thought,'She really doesn't have any idea. I know she's asking about Gohan only so she won't have to ask about both of us. Kami, please help my wife get through the next year.' "ChiChi, you'll just have to trust me. I promise Gohan will come home safely, okay?" The only reason ChiChi didn't notice the sadness in his voice was because she was too scared to be very perceptive.
Nevertheless, she gae her biggest smile possible. "All right, Goku," she said, wiping away a stray tear, "I believe in both of you. But does Gohan have to go? Can't he stay here? Aren't you strong enough?"
Goku wrapped his arms around his wife to comfort her. "ChiChi, Gohan will come back. He'll be just as healthy as he is now. I promise it on my life." To himself, he added, 'But after today, that won't mean much.'
ChiChi said her goodbyes to both of them, and Gohan and Goku took to the air. About one mile away, however, Goku stopped. "Gohan?"
Gohan looked quisically at his father. "Yeah, Dad?"
"Go ahead without me, okay? I need to say something to your mother."
"Uh...okay. Sure thing, Dad."
Goku flew back to his mountainside home. When he reached the door, he silently opened the door and walked inside. When he got to the kitchen, Goku wordlessly wrapped his arms around his wife, causing her to drop the pan of food she was preparing.
ChiChi turned around to see who was behind her. "Goku! I thought you'd left! Where's Gohan? Why are you still here? What in the world are you..."
"Shhh..ChiChi, please, just listen to me," Goku whispered. He'd put his finger over ChiChi's lips to silence the frantic woman. "I sent Gohan ahead; I'll catch up to him in a few minutes. Now, I don't want you to say anything; just listen to what I have to say, okay?"
ChiChi nodded wordlessly. "Good," Goku said,"now, listen very carefully. I was somehow gifted with psychic power while in the Room of Spirit and Time. After today, Son Goku will cease to exist. No, don't say anything. I know I'm going to die today, but I also know that I'll be the only one to die. (A/N:Don't even tell me about how Mirai dies; I mean for a substantial amount of time) you have to be strong for Gohan, ChiChi. I love you with all of my heart, and I promise on that love that Gohan will survive this day."
"But Goku," ChiChi exclaimed, "I don't want just Gohan! I want you, too! Why can't you just be careful?"
Goku smiled, although it was nothing like the typical Son family grin. ChiChi's heart almost tore in half when she had to see that sad smile cross Goku's features. "ChiChi, I can't just not die. When I go, as I know I will, it will be to save Gohan, Krillin, you, the whole planet. So please, don't feel sad for me, okay?"
ChiChi slowly nodded, but protested nonetheless. "Goku! How am I not supposed to feel sad? What about all that's bound to go wrong? I don't want to lose you!"
Goku's smile slowly turned genuine. "Then," he said, tilting her chin up so she would look at him, " Just remember me. I'll make it easy; this can be your first memory."
Goku slowly leaned down to kiss his wife, the last kiss he knew he's experience for a very long time. Then, he stepped back and put two fingers to his forehead. "Goodbye, Son ChiChi. Remember that I will always love you and watch over you."
And, with those words, ChiChi watched her husband disapear, knowing full well that this would be the last time she heard them.
