CHAPTER 2
Lost in the Night
Chi-Chi was running blindly. Her eyes were closed and burning from her incessant tears. She sprinted swiftly through the grasslands between her house and the forest. Her only company was the moon and stars in the midnight black sky. She knew now where she would go. as far as her legs and broken, empty heart could carry her. As she continued sprinting, she bumped into something. As she fell backwards, she saw a stunned Vegeta, drinking water from the river, fall right into it. Spluttering and cursing, he stood and shouted. "You assassin! Where are you-show your ---AAAAAGGGHHHH!!! Well, well. Isn't this lovely, Kakarot's wife. What brings you here at this time of night," said Vegeta with a curious smile on his lips. Again, Vegeta was shocked when Chi-Chi suddenly hugged him, sobbing frantically. "Oh Vegeta, please don't tell Goku or my sons. I'm running away." She stopped hugging him and gave him a begging look in her beautiful eyes. "Er. I promise I won't say a word. But tell me, wasn't everything going well between you and Kak-er. Goku?" "No Vegeta, in fact, I must say I am the loneliest woman ever. Goku has been training so hard, he hasn't even thought once about me." Another tear went down her cheek. Vegeta laid a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry. Make sure you keep yourself safe." "Goodbye Vegeta." And yet again. Chi-Chi ran off into the unknown.
She stopped to catch her breath. She turned to face the direction of her house, which she then realized she had traveled several miles. The house was out of her sight. This for her was a good sign. She could find a good place to hide and rest. She turned around and saw a huge tree. It was so large its roots were bulging and arching out of the ground. She lay down beneath the roots and covered herself in a blanket she had packed. She felt warm on this autumn night and started writing in her diary.
Dear Diary,
It's my first day away from home and I'm nervous. I've never been his far into the woods before. However, I know this is where I belong. I am not wanted at home. Goku is always training; he never even tries to spend time with me. I bet he won't even know that I'm gone.
Tired from running, Chi-Chi closed her eyes and fell asleep. How were things going at the house? ---
Goku was awake, reaching out blindly to wake Chi-Chi. "Chi-Chi?" Goku looked confused and stared around. What was going on. but was even more confused and broke out giggling when he saw his next sight. Goten had gotten lost in his shirt and was crashing and tripping over his pants. "Mommy, I need help. Where are you?" "She's not here. Let me help you, little guy!" Goku dressed up Goten and went to the kitchen expecting Chi- Chi to be there, but found himself cooking burnt pancakes. Goku decided on something very important, "Gohan, watch your brother, I'll be gone for a while. Bye." Goku then teleported himself to the edge of the forest. He saw some drops of blood and became enraged. "CHI-CHI!" He ran and ran, infuriated. He came across a river, and unfortunately knocked an enraged Vegeta into it. "What again. Chi-Chi if you weren't married-" So Chi-Chi passed here, huh?!" Goku grabbed Vegeta's throat and lifted him into the air. "VEGETA! If you don't tell me where she is." "I promised not to tell. ok, she went that way, into the deep part of the forest." Goku dropped Vegeta and flew into the forest.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Goku's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why did you leave me Chi-Chi? Where are you? Don't worry, wherever you are, I will find you, and bring you home safe, hang in there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chi-Chi woke up. After a good night's sleep, she woke up, had a fruit and ran off again. However, she realized that she had made a careless mistake. The thorns in the woods had cut her, causing her to bleed. Since she had not bandaged her wounds, the blood dripped and fell on the ground, giving anyone a trail to where she was. She needed a safe way to travel. It was going to get dark soon. If she kept going forwards, it would lead her to a desert. She would be able to hide her blood with the sand. If Goku was following, her trail would be cut off, and he would be left clueless. If she traveled left, there would be a river to carry her downstream to a cave to shelter her. The blood would also be impossible to track in the water. She traveled east and let the current take her. Her bag was waterproof, so her things would not get wet. Today would be a full pager for her diary tonight!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chi-Chi's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh my god, Goku got so close to finding me. Knowing him, he'd look for me in the desert. Boy, I am glad I went this way! It's so much easier! All I have to do is to float, and I will be safe.
