You've Found Me
The house was quite, you would have thought that there was no one inside. It was the perfect picture of tranquility, except for the four adults sitting in the living room. One, his back straight as a rod unmoving, kept his eyes firmly on the other two sitting in front of him. The man sitting next to him kept his eyes averted too scarred to look at the woman straight ahead.
"Vegeta, please can we go now?" Before he could get an answer, Chi-Chi stood up with her hands on her hips. "NO! You can not go!"
"How dare you! Shut up you harpy!"
"You shut up Vegeta! She has every right." Bulma, for her part, was now calm and controlled. She sat in her chair listening to the story that Goku and Vegeta and just spilled out never once interrupting.
((Flashback))
Goku was ringing his hands over and over again. Chi-Chi had never seen him so nervous. "Goku, honey, what's wrong?" Goku jumped at suddenly hearing his wife's voice. "Did-did you call them?"
"Yes, but I don't know why you wanted them over here so quickly?" Chi-Chi was slowly starting to loose her patients and it was showing in her voice. Shortly after there was a knock at the door. By this time Goku was barley controlling himself. He just wanted to get this over with. Whatever this was.
Chi-Chi hesitated to get the door, giving all of her attention to her husband. Another knock sounded and broke Chi-Chi's concentration enough to answer the door.
"Hello Bulma, Vegeta. Please come in." The two followed Chi-Chi into the living room where they saw Goku slowing rising to his feet to great his guest. "h-hi Bulma."
"Hi Goku." Bulma stared at him cautiously trying to figure out what was wrong with her best friend. She moved to a chair that was next to Goku revealing the man that was standing behind her. The two stared at each other temporarily forgetting anything and everything around them. "Vegeta." "Kakarotto."
Chi-Chi saw the look in her husband's eyes. There was so much sadness, confusion and a glint of something else. She saw the same with Vegeta. She new nothing was going to happen until she said something. So, Chi-Chi cleared her throat, breaking the two warrior's eye lock.
Vegeta stared at Chi-Chi before taking his seat. Goku slowly joined Vegeta on the couch very close and very surprisingly.
"Well why did you want to speak to us Goku?" Bulma had her suspicions, but she never really knew for sure what the exact relationship between her husband and her best friend was. Though today she had a feeling she was going to find out. She was prepared for anything.
"Yes Goku what is it and why are you so nervous? What did this monster do know?"
Chi-Chi startled at the look she received from Goku, as though she just said the most horrid thing imaginable. What was going on?
"NEVER say that again Chi-Chi! Vegeta is not a monster!" Goku realized he over reacted as soon as those words came out of his mouth but how dare she talk about Vegeta that way? Hadn't he changed, hasn't he atoned for everything that he has done in the past? For heavens sake he lost track of all the times Vegeta helped him and the others save the world. And here she is calling him a monster when she should really look in the mirror and say those words.
"Wha… Goku?" Chi-Chi was at a lost for words. Goku never raised his voice at her before. What the hell was going on? Goku had his head hanged low almost as if he was trying to avoid what was going to happen.
"Goku what is it? WHY THE HELL are you acting this WAY?!" She had enough she didn't care what the answer was as long as somebody gave her one.
The room grew very silent after that. It was though as if a word was uttered the world would crack.
"AAARRRGGGHHH! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!" Vegeta shot up to his feet and fixed his wife and the harpy passing as Goku's mate a glare that could have burned hell. His control was barely contained. They could see his muscles shaking; the outward signs of his notable anger begging to be released.
"Vegeta, no, please."
"No Kakarrot! This has gone on long enough! We agreed to tell them both today and I am tired of waiting. It is now or never. Either you tell them or I will Kakarrot."
Vegeta ignored the confused and angry looks from the two women in the room. His gaze was only on Goku, silently telling him to do something before he does.
"Tell us what!?! Goku, tell us what?" Chi-Chi was sitting down again to shocked at what was going on to stand any longer.
Again silence took over the house but only for a short while. Goku clenched his fist once and then again summing all his courage for what he had to say.
"Chi-Chi, Bulma I don't even know where to begin. I…"
"How about the truth Goku, just tell us already. It will go a lot faster if you did?" Bulma wanted answers to the questions and speculations in her mind though now after all of this drama she was pretty sure she knew what it was.
"Ok ok, well here goes. Chi-Chi I love you I do but you aren't my soul mate Vegeta is. I'm sorry, but I love him and need him." It was barely whispered but she heard everything even her heart breaking. //this can't be happening, no please kami no//
Bulma broke out laughing. She knew it; she knew that those two where together or damn near getting there. It was only a matter of time.
"What the HELL is wrong with you woman? Why are YOU laughing?" Vegeta was expecting anger, shock, sadness anything but laughter. Had she finally lost it? How strange.
"Are you kidding me? There is nothing wrong with me you idiot."
"Huh.." He knew it wasn't the most elegant response but it was the only one that would come out at that time.
"I knew it! I knew you two where eventually going to do this. I mean come on it doesn't take a genius, which of course I am, to figure it out. With all the time you two where spending together and all that pent up energy you two where harboring it was eventually going to blow up in you faces and you would either be dead or in bed." Again, Bulma broke out in an uncontrollable fit of laughter.
"Well I'm glad you're not truly broken up about this woman." He couldn't help it even though he loved Kakarrot and would never leave his side, he couldn't help feel a little hurt that Bulma was finding this to be humorous. After a while though he just shrugged his shoulders and looked at his mate, who had tears in his eyes. Vegeta let out a sigh and turned his attention to the woman sitting in front of Kakarrot. She too had tears in her eyes that where spilling out from the corners and down her face. //now what//
Eventually the house grew still again. Even Bulma stopped laughing as a strange aura engulfed the room.
"Come Kakarrot it is time to go."
Goku shook his head in acknowledgment and stood to follow Vegeta to the door. Chi-Chi found the strength to stand and reach out to her husband grabbing him by the arm.
"No, Goku, please don't do this to us, to me. You can't leave us. What are we going to do without you? How are we going to get by? I love you Goku please don't leave me!" The tears where uncontrollable now, she was gasping for every breath as she fell to her knees still hanging on to Goku's arm.
Goku's eyes where shut tight his head was thrown back in an effort to control his emotions. He slowly kneeled next to his wife and lifted her chin with his free hand.
"Chi-Chi, Chi-Chi look at me. Please Chi-Chi." She finally opened her stained eyes to stare at a pair of equal pain. "Please try to understand."
"Understand? Understand what Goku."
"Understand that you will always have a place in my heart but my place is with my prince; my mate. I never ever intended to hurt you Chi-Chi and that is something that I'm always going to regret doing, but I will not regret my decision now. I'm sorry."
Goku disentangled Chi-Chi's arm from his and slowly turn around to leave. Bulma didn't have a smile on her face now as she witnessed her best friend breaking her only female friend's heart. She never saw Chi-Chi so broken and so alone. Bulma went to her and placed a hand on Chi-Chi's shoulder to give her a little support.
Chi-Chi heard the door open and close and her head snapped up. Her husband was leaving. Her husband was walking out of her life to live one of his own with someone else. //no no no NO NO// She shot up to her feet and ran outside just in time to see the two strongest warriors in the universe take off together to kami knows where.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!"
Off in the distance another one of Earth's strongest warriors witnessed the sad scene playing out and with his talents he also heard everything that was said. Piccolo was never one to eavesdrop but how could he ignore what had just happened. He couldn't help feeling a little sorry for Chi-Chi but understood Goku's decision.
His young protégée picked that time to land next to him staring off in the direction of his house. "Piccolo what's going on?"
"Gohan, I think you need to go see to you mother right now, she needs you."
Well that's it for now. Whatcha think? Hehe poor Chi-Chi. Will this woman ever get a break? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
