Agitated, Goku ran his hands through his hair and looked out the window. He began to pace around the room. 'Where could she be?' he asked himself, frowning. He was so stupid to do this to her.
Also concerned about Chichi's whereabouts, Goten frantically searched the house for her. Seeing his dad pacing angrily, he walked over to him.
"Dad, I can't find mom," he said sadly. Goku didn't answer. He just continued to walk back and forth. Goten quickly grew impatient.
"I said I can't find mom…"
"I heard you" Goku said hastily. There was a short silence.
"Well, where can she be?"
"I don't know" Goku snapped. Goten glared at him. He then turned around and continued to search for his mother. Goku looked up at him.
"Look, I'm sorry. It's just that-" he stopped when he realized that Goten was ignoring him. Once again he ran his hand through his hair. 'I have to find her…'
***************
Closing her eyes, Chichi leaned back on the soft green grass and tilted her head slightly. She had finally found somewhere to be alone and have time to think things over.
She wasn't angry anymore. She wasn't sad anymore. She wasn't weak anymore.
Her mind was finally free of everything that was bothering her. Of course she was still deeply hurt by what Goku had done and her heart was still aching, but now at least her head was clear…well, for the moment anyway.
She sighed. What was she going to do? – She opened her eyes and stared at the dull sky. She should of known better; no wonder he was acting differently.
She closed her eyes again and frowned. No, she wasn't going to do this to herself. She came here to relax and that's what she was going to do.
Listening to the environment around her, she suddenly sensed someone else's presence. Immediately opening her eyes, she sat up and looked around.
"Goku?" she said, alarmed.
"Hey" he said quietly. They looked at each other.
"How did you know I was here?" she asked.
"I know a lot of things…" he teased gently. Chichi smirked for a second. Goku smiled and sat down beside her.
"So what are we gonna do?" she stated bluntly.
"I don't know…" Goku replied awkwardly. He turned to face her, despite the fact that Chichi was avoiding any means of eye contact. She was staring at the ground.
"You know I've missed times like these…" she said calmly.
"Huh?"
"I mean us being alone together, talking like this. It's nice"
Goku smiled and put his arm around her. Chichi stiffened and looked at him from the corner of her eye. He gently pulled her closer to him.
"Yeah, It is nice…" he said quietly. He slowly leaned in to kiss her. With wide eyes Chichi pushed him away and stood up.
"Goku, please. I refuse to live like this. This is not a marriage." she said, agitated. He looked at her, confused.
"Don't look at me like that! You know exactly what I'm talking about!" she yelled. Goku stood up.
"What do you mean?" he said defensively.
"Excuse me? You think I've just suddenly forgotten about everything? Don't you dare take me for an idiot Goku, or I'll-"
"Or you'll what?" he said rigidly. Chichi clenched her fists.
"You, you make me so mad sometimes!" she shut her eyes and stomped her foot in fury.
They stood there in silence, Goku's eyes fixated on Chichi.
"…I love you" Goku said.
"No you don't" Chichi said with her eyes still closed.
"Of course I do!" he argued. She looked at him with contempt.
"Then why the hell did you do this to me!?"
Goku opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it and looked down to the floor.
"I don't know how long we can put up with this…" she murmured. Goku looked up at her.
"What are you suggesting?" he asked accusingly. She didn't answer.
"Divorce?"
"Maybe…" she said quietly.
"Damnit Chichi! We've gone through so much together…we can't, we just can't"
"What else can we do?" she asked, desolately. Goku scowled.
"Fine. If you want a divorce so badly, then fine. Have it your way, just let me remind you that I've put up with so much-"
"You've put up with so much?" she interrupted, glaring at him.
"I've waited, and waited, and waited for you so many times…and you have the nerve to say that you've put up with so much. And even after you cheat on me you think that showing a little affection will help make up for it all?"
He looked at her sadly. She stared angrily back at him, breathing heavily.
"Look, honey. I'm sorry…"
"I don't want to hear it" she said sternly.
"Well then what the hell do you want me to say!?" he shouted. She suddenly slapped him across the face.
"I've had enough of you shouting at me" she whispered.
He slowly turned to her with an emotion-less face…and disappeared.
