Disclaimer~ I ain't repeating it. It's the same as the first 4 chapters.

Merry Christmas minna-san! I hope to be updating all of my stories soon because school is OUT! Yay! Anyways, here's the next part of Love, Chichi.

    It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and it was warm, with a slight cool breeze blowing, ruffling the curtains through the open windows. Most people were out enjoying it, out picnicking and walking hand-in-hand with their lovers, barefoot through the thick grass, or the white sand, occasionally with horse play. But one woman didn't enjoy the day. She used the sun to dry her tears, and imagined that the wind was her husband's gentle caress. She imagined that the shadow she saw was her lover, playing a game with her. A game of hide-and-seek. A very cruel game of hide-and-seek. A game that she would never win, simply because he was gone, yet again. She turned away from the window, angrily vowing not to cry again. Her son had just gotten kidnapped and her husband had run off, with his friends to save him. He did. And then they both took off, on picnic with the friends. Not bothering to invite her. But what hurt most was that everyone they knew was there. Except her. And she knew that they were having a good time without her. She thought about leaving…but she couldn't leave her little Gohan…he needed her…as did Goku…but did they really need her…they would get along just as well as if they lived at Bulma's…only they wouldn't have to put up with her nagging…and Gohan would have his dragon or dinosaur or whatever it was…would they even miss her…? It was that day when a nagging doubt began to form in Chichi's head, along with an idea…and she didn't even know it was there…

     "Mom? Are you ok?" Kachina looked at her mom with wide eyes.

     "Uh? Oh, I'm fine Kachina. Just thinking about what you asked me…"

     "Really? So, will you answer it?"

     Chichi looked at her daughter's innocent and trusting eyes that were now confused and worried. Worried for her. She knew she had frightened her daughter. But that question she had asked had brought back so many memories.

     "What's my daddy like?" Truth be told, Chichi had been expecting this for a long time, but now that it was finally here, she didn't have a clue has to what to say. But Kachina was staring at her expectedly, and she knew she had to say something. Anything.

     "Well, K, he was an angel." Literally. "He was always there when you needed him, and he was always up for a challenge. He was brave, strong, could eat like a horse, handsome, naïve, funny but could be so serious. He grew up experiencing bad things, but chose to make the best out of his life. And he was loyal."

     "Then where is he?" Chichi paused.

     "Hey, you want to go get some ice cream with me?"

     "HAI!" And with that the issue was put to rest, but not forgotten. Never forgotten.

     Gohan was not happy. He was far from happy. He was having a bad day. First, Videl told him that she knew he was the Great Saiyaman. Then, she had blackmailed him into participating. Granted, he was already going, but to watch, not fight. Then he had not turned in a paper because he had left it at home. He sighed again. "Has it really been exactly six years?" This was the day his mom left. 'Why didn't Dad think about telling her? Why didn't I? That must have been the last straw for Mom. What's that saying again? You don't know what you got until it's gone? Yeah, that's it. How true it is.' With more sad thoughts, he walked to Capsule Corps.

     When he finally got there, it was to see Videl looking at the house suspiciously. He sighed deeply as he remembered promising to teach her how to fly. He walked up to her.

     "Hi Videl."

     "Gohan, you're not pulling my leg about living here, are you?" He shook his head.

     Videl looked at Gohan as he fumbled with his keys. Something was strange…he wasn't his usual goofy, cheerful self. He seemed almost…depressed and trying to cover it up. Videl shook back the thoughts as he opened the door and motioned for her to come in.

     As soon as Videl entered, she could tell that it was going to be a long day. Two little kids ran past her, one nearly knocking her down, the other nearly knocking himself down. A man with spiky hair hopped through the window off of something that looked suspiciously like a yellow cloud…

"Sensei? Will you be entering the Tournament as well? It would be very inspiring!" Bria, Chichi's top student, asked her teacher.

            Chichi smiled at the girl's enthusiasm. Bria had been the first student to enter the dojo and had helped Chichi out numerous times. "Not this time, Bria. After all, I can't risk the chance of losing against my students, now can I, Bria?"

            Bria laughed. "As if. You could whip me with one pinky."

            The two women laughed. "Hai, if you say so. Anyways, go on. I can take care of the rest myself." Chichi said, gesturing at the boxes. Bria hesitated, then nodded and smiled. "You'll be there to cheer on us, right Sensei?"

            Chichi pretended to be horrified. "What kind of teacher would I be if I missed it?"

            Kachina, who had been sitting on the counter quietly, spoke up. "Mom, can I join? I mean, there's a junior section and you've taught me how to fight. Please can I join?"

            "Ano…" Chichi stopped suddenly, looking at her pleading daughter. She wanted to say no, to put her foot down and say absolutely not, no force on earth would sway her to let her only daughter fight in the ring…but something held her back. Perhaps it was the way that Kachina's eyes sparkled with joy, so much like Goku's, or maybe the fact that fighting ran through her veins as well. But whatever it was, it made her pause, which was all the hesitance that let Kachina pull the famous Son trick: the puppy dog eyes. One look and Chichi's will was strayed. Against her better judgment, she nodded slowly and said, "Hai. You can fight."

            "YAY!" Kachina's voice rang through the almost empty dojo.

Well, how's that for an update? Short, I know, but oh well. Life, lemon, lemonade, whatever. ^_^
