Disclaimer: Why do I even bother to write these things?
Author's Note: Sorry that that last chapter was so depressing. At the time I was watching Meri's (the web mistress who runs Temple O' Trunks) "Who Wants to Live Forever?" video, featuring the deaths of all sorts of important peeps. So I was a little depressed and decided to kill off Chichi and get it over with while I was in the mood. I know that sounds kind of mean but that's the way it works, I'm afraid. Besides, it gets the fic moving faster (in my opinion) and it makes my life easier. Now that I've updated, I'm allowed to use a computer that actually has Microsoft Word and XP on it! The evil Shinou has relented on her meany ways! But I'm still locked up in this closet! HELP ME YOU REVIEWERS!
Shinou: Are you kidding Dragontwin? Honestly Kat, I thought you more intelligent than that.
Dragontwin: What?
Kat: Excuse me?
Shinou: They want to make you update faster too, so most likely they'll send someone really powerful to guard the door to the closet, so I can get some sleep.
Dragontwin: They wouldn't!
Kat: I hope it's Goten ^_^
Dragontwin and Shinou: UGH!
Dragontwin and Kat: We need your help!
Shinou: I need your help! Send someone really strong to guard the closet door so I can go sleep!
There you have it, loyal reviewers (and not so loyal reviewers) you make the decision. Are you going to send someone *powerful* to guard the door or are you going to let Kat and Dragontwin out of the closet? Dum de de dum!! On with the next chapter!
Promises-Chapter 4 Dragontwin/Kat
Goku's eyes snapped open. He had been sleeping on the ground on King Kai's planet when he had sensed that old familiar energy. CHICHI! She was here, in the Other World! Or was she? There was something different about her energy. He was going to go check it out that was for sure.
The Kais….and a special guest.
Chichi stood in a long line of spirits. Up in front of her were three men and one woman were arguing excitedly about a woman, and she was certain it wasn't her.
"She DESERVES to keep her body! Think of all the time she put into raising two of the strongest warriors in the universe while her husband died continually. If anything, that proves what a strong spirit she has. We need more of those." The woman was arguing. Then a man broke in.
"But what you fail to recognize is that she never saved the world…" The tall one said.
"Yes, but she's pure of heart," argued the one with a speaking problem. The shorter one cut him off.
"Perhaps you should consider that Goku won't be able to ahem, focus on his training as much, if you know what I mean." The one that was apparently called King Kai blushed a little.
"That is no concern of yours, South Kai. Even without as much time to train, you still don't have a warrior strong enough to beat Goku." Chichi's eyes, well, spirit eyes, just about popped.
"You take that back! Piccon almost beat Goku at the tournament!" North Kai rolled his eyes.
"Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades," North Kai shouted back.
Chichi remembered Goku telling her about this Piccon. Apparently they were now friends, but these Kais didn't want to believe it. For the first time in her life, Chichi felt sort of, well, outranked, and so she didn't open her mouth to correct them.
"Look at you four, squabbling like children. Why, I'd almost come to expect more out of you," in front of the four Kais stood a relatively short young woman. She looked to be about fourteen, and she smiled indulgently at them. "Father always gets a kick out of you four. That's probably the only reason he keeps you on. There's nothing more entertaining than a bunch of children wanting to decide someone's fate."
"Lady Sylvia, honestly, I had no idea that you were interested in this case," one of the Kais argued.
"Just who do you think you are, interrupting the Kais like that?" The tall one demanded.
"I think that I'm the Supreme Kai's daughter. Unless someone's been lying to me for four hundred years," she said and smirked. "As a matter of fact, I have taken an 'interest' in the case. It's not everyday that you run into a being that has done so much for the universe, if not his quadrant as Son Goku has."
"Yes, but how much Son Goku has done has nothing to do with his wife's fate!" South Kai protested.
"It doesn't? Think of how much this woman had to give up so that he could do the things he did! Besides which, any woman who has the ability to the Nimbus has my respect," Sylvia replied.
"So what do you suggest we do? Don't you think giving her her body back would be a bit excessive?"
"Not for all she's done. Besides, I don't think we can reward Son Goku enough for all he's done."
"You think that would be a reward? Have you met his wife?" The South Kai asked.
"She's standing over there, South Kai." The Kai blushed.
"How tactless of you, South Kai, to be talking about her right in front of her," North Kai taunted.
"Do you see? We have no choice but to allow her body in the Other World," East Kai stated, certain victory was coming her way.
"Have you all made a decision yet?" King Yemma called from the desk.
"Of course. We will allow Son Chichi her body in the Other World," Sylvia said.
"You sure you want to do that?" Grand Kai showed up from out of nowhere.
"I'm positive, Grand Kai," Sylvia said, pious as could be.
"Okay then. We'll allow it." With that, Chichi felt her body restored to her, and she smiled, for it wasn't her old body that was crooked and worn with age. It was the body she had had at eighteen, at the top of its physical condition right before she had had Gohan. The one the Kais had been calling Sylvia walked over to her.
"Hello, Mrs. Son. I'm Sylvia, the Supreme Kai's daughter. Welcome to the Other World." Chichi smiled faintly, a little intimidated by this woman. She was as shy, she realized with a start, as she had been when she was eighteen, before she got to be really loud.
"Thank you for everything Sylvia." The younger woman smiled at her.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Sylvia was showing nothing but kindness toward her, but Chichi was feeling a little alone.
"Could you show me where my husband Goku is, please?" Sylvia's face lit up.
"I figured you would ask that. There's someone I want you to meet. Come with me. He'll be sure to take you directly to Goku," she winked at North Kai, who blushed and nodded. "Son Chichi, this is North Kai, the Kai who is responsible for your quadrant."
"How do you do, North Kai?" Chichi felt like she should be on her best behavior around these people, something she hadn't felt like in years.
"North Kai has also been training your husband in the martial arts," Sylvia added.
"Then I'm more glad to meet you than I was before," Chichi said.
"Goku made it sound like you didn't enjoy him training," North Kai remarked.
"I was worried about Gohan. Goku knows that. I think."
"We'll, we'd better get on our way then. See you all later!" North Kai and Chichi phased out.
A/N: Yeah, I know. North Kai probably doesn't have the ability to do that, but you know what? I DON'T CARE! Haha. I took a little longer to update so that I could write a longer chapter. READ AND REVIEW! C ya.
