First off, I would like to apologize for the last chapter being short and for taking so long to get posted but I had a lot of problems getting it up. I don't what it was exactly but I figured it out and got it posted after all. *Wipes brow and sighs* Okay, at least that is out of the way. Oh yea! I don't own the song in here either. "I'm Just a Kid" is by Simple Plan. It is their property, not mine.
Hold Me
Chapter 3: Singing
"I woke up it was seven, waited till eleven, just to figure out the no one would call…" Chi-Chi sang along to the song, while cleaning hers and Goku's bedroom. She had to admit, the room was pretty dirty from not cleaning it over the past week.
The windows were open, letting in a small breeze. It was nice out, about 80 degrees and clear skies. Birds chirped in the distance and leaves rustled in the nice, soft breeze.
Chi-Chi stopped and looked out the window. It was a perfect day to go to the lake or just go outside in general. Not stay inside all day and clean.
She dropped the big pile of clothes and went into the closet to find something to wear, rather than her pajamas. She found a pair of jeans and a tank top, then headed to the bathroom for a quick shower. She grabbed her CD player on the way, and closed the door behind her.
Goku was outside at the lake, fishing no less. But he had stopped to take a break and was now lying in the grass looking up at the sky. He began thinking and eventually his mind wandered to the thought of Chi-Chi. She was back home, probably cleaning. He sat up. It was such a beautiful day, why should she have to stay home and clean? He stood up and headed home to see if she wanted to come out with him.
Goku got home in no time. He walked into the house and called for Chi-Chi. She didn't answer though. 'Where is she?' He thought and began searching the entire downstairs. She wasn't anywhere, so he went upstairs and heard music. He followed his ears, which led him to the bedroom. He looked to the bathroom door and walked over to it. He knocked, and when no one answered, he walked on in.
"Chi-Chi?" He called.
"I'll be out in a minute, ok Goku?" She answered back, turning off the water. Goku nodded his head and mumbled a small yes before exiting the bathroom. Minutes later, Chi-Chi walked out, dressed, her hair still wet. She was brushing it out as she walked over to Goku.
"What did you need Goku?" Chi-Chi asked. He looked at her and smiled.
"You should keep your hair down today. It looks nice when you do." Chi-Chi blushed and looked away.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Goku asked, paranoid that he had indeed said the wrong thing. He knew from past experiences that when you said something wrong to a female it was the end of the world and in some cases could be worse than fighting Piccolo.
"No, you didn't say anything wrong at all, Goku. Thank you for the compliment." Chi-Chi said softly, as she continued to brush her out. Goku heaved a sigh of relief.
"Did you need something?" Chi-Chi asked, looking at Goku now.
"Oh yea, why do you come outside with me. It's really nice out, and I don't think you should clean all day. I can train you, if you want me too." Goku smiled and Chi-Chi smiled back.
"I'd like that Goku." She said, and laid her head on his shoulder as she continued to brush out her long hair.
Chi-Chi was thrown back and landed hard on her back, knocking the wind out of her lungs. She stood up, ignoring the pain. With one deep breath, Chi-Chi lunged toward Goku, a punch ready to strike once she got close enough.
Goku prepared for her attack, a punch from the right hand. He got into a blocking stance as she got closer. 'All right, here it comes…' Chi-Chi was about to punch Goku but quickly changed her punch into a kick and nailed Goku in the stomach. He fell to the ground with a loud thud. He sat up and looked at Chi-Chi. She smirked and put her hands together. 'Uh-oh, why does this somehow look familiar?'
"Ka…" Chi-Chi began to power up a small energy ball in her hands. Goku panicked and scooted back far enough so he could stand with out being knocked back down.
"Wait Chi-Chi!" He yelled, putting his hands up.
"Me…..ha….."
"Oh man! She's really serious about this!" He began to power up as well.
"Me…….HAAAAAAA!" Chi-Chi thrust her hands forward, releasing a huge, blue energy wave at Goku. Goku jumped up to avoid the blast, which missed him by a few inches. Chi-Chi jumped up into the air as well.
"Chi-Chi! Calm down!" Goku yelled. He caught her as she neared him and landed them safely on the ground. "Chi, you did fine. I'm proud of you." Goku said. Chi-Chi looked up at him, breathing hard. Goku smiled, and pulled her head closer to his chest. 'I am proud of you, Chi.'
It was around six o' clock when they decided to go in for dinner. Chi-Chi played the radio in the background and hummed along with the music.
"You have a very pretty voice Chi." Goku complimented looking at her. Chi-Chi blushed and stopped to eat. It was very rare that Goku would give her a compliment, but when he did it was always very sweet and meaningful. She didn't even consider herself a good singer.
"Thank you." She really did love that man. Sometimes, she couldn't help but really wonder if he loved her back. He was always off training or something. But he always made up for it somehow.
"We should go in the barrel after dinner, what do you think Goku?" She asked. It was always relaxing to sit in the barrel.
"Yea! That sounds like a great idea!" Goku smiled. Little things always seemed to make Goku happy. But that was all that mattered to Chi-Chi.
After dinner, Chi-Chi had gone up to hers and Goku's room to change into a bathing suit. She grabbed two towels and met Goku downstairs. She handed one to him. He had all ready changed. Goku wrapped his arm around her shoulder and led her outside.
The air was a little nippy but not too bad. Goku helped Chi-Chi up and then climbed in himself. They sat at opposite ends for a while, staring at the stars and talking about anything that happened to pop up in their heads. Chi-Chi managed to gain the courage to go up to Goku and place her head on his chest and wrap his arm around her. It was a new thing still, being so close to him. Even though, they had been married for a while. The two sat in silence, just enjoying each others company.
"Hey Chi-Chi, do you think you could sing for me? You have such a beautiful voice." Goku asked. Chi-Chi blushed but sang a song anyway. A lullaby her mother used to sing to her before she passed away.
Well there is chapter 3! I hope you all enjoyed it! Oh yea, and I know that Chi-Chi can't do the Kamehameha wave but you never know! She just may have forgotten how to use it! But then again maybe not, I was just having some fun typing it.
