The Unwanted Saiyan
Part Three
After that night with Goku, I got the feeling that having another child with Goku now didn't seem right, not when he was like this. His behavior changes from light to dark so often that I suspected something was wrong and I didn't want to raise a child in that environment. After that night together, Goku went training with Gohan and Piccolo. I left the house as well to a clinic to get birth control pills. I knew I would be betraying my husband and his wishes to have more children now, but something inside me told me I should do this.
Over the past couple of weeks, I noticed a change in Goku. He was cheerful and absentminded as usual but he was also serious and quick tempered and I sometimes got the feeling that the man I was talking to and made love to wasn't my husband. There was a specific incident I remember when Goku came home with Gohan after spending the day training.
"Hey, Chi-Chi," Kakarot said grumpily. He glared at Gohan who came in the house limping.
Chi-Chi was glazing honey on the ham for dinner when they came in. She turned to greet them and saw Gohan battered. "Gohan!" Chi-Chi cried running to her son. "What happened to you?" Chi-Chi looked at her husband. "What happened to our son?"
"He didn't jump fast enough," Kakarot said.
"Huh?" Chi-Chi said confused.
"I threw a ki blast at Gohan and he didn't jump quick enough to avoid it," Kakarot explained.
"You threw it too hard," Gohan said.
"You said you didn't want me to be soft on you because you are my son and when I'm not you complained I'm too rough. You are a half Saiyan. You're stronger than I was when I was your age. You should be tougher than this!" Kakarot argued.
"Goku!" Chi-Chi snapped. "That's enough! Gohan is just a child. How can you be so hard on him? That's not like you."
"You're being too soft on him, too," Kakarot said glaring at Chi-Chi.
"He should be fighting instead of studying."
Chi-Chi couldn't believe her husband argued with her. He never did that. This wasn't like her husband at all. He always let her do the yelling and he would try to appease her. "Goku, what's gotten into you? I think this training is getting to you. We have three years to prepare. There's plenty of time for Gohan to get stronger. You've only been at it for three months now."
Chi-Chi looked down at Gohan. "Come on, sweetie," Chi-Chi said picking Gohan up. "Let me get a hot bath started for you and let me patch up your wounds." The two left the room. Chi-Chi made Gohan's bath, patch his wounds and left Gohan to play in his bath while she went back into the kitchen to have a talk with her husband.
Chi-Chi was surprised once again. Goku was fixing his own plates. Goku never did that. He always let Chi-Chi do it. Something just wasn't right. Seeing he didn't have anything to drink, Chi-Chi fixed a glass of ice water and placed it before him while taking a seat next to him.
"What's wrong? You never acted this way before."
"I want Gohan to succeed, Chi-Chi. That's all. These Androids are going to kill everyone but him and I might not be here to fight."
"What do you mean? We have the antidote to the virus," Chi-Chi said.
"Yes, but if I'm able to fight, the Androids still might kill me. Gohan must be stronger than all of us."
Chi-Chi started to understand him, but his behavior was still way off. "Listen, you and Gohan have been training two months without a break. The weekend is near. How about you two relax this weekend around the house or maybe we can go camping."
"We should be training. We have to get stronger," Kakarot growled as he stuffed more food in his mouth.
"I know, but you know that if you give your body a chance to rest, it'll be more productive when you train again," Chi-Chi advised.
Kakarot stopped eating and looked at his food for a moment. His hard facial expression changed into a soft smile. He looked at her smiling that reminded Chi-Chi of Goku. "Okay. Let's go camping this weekend."
****
Camping was nice. It was like old times before the Saiyans ever came and turned our lives upside down. We walked down a nice trail that we walked with Gohan when he was a toddler, talked, played together and fish. As we sat around the campfire one night, I told Gohan a story like I used to when he was younger before sending him to bed in his tent. As Gohan slept, Goku and I sat outside by the river looking at the stars.
"It's so peaceful out here. I love the country. You can see the million stars in the sky. If only we had a moon out here," Chi-Chi said.
"Then there would be a giant monkey rampaging everything," Goku explained.
Chi-Chi laughed. "Oh, that's right. Forget I said that."
"Since Gohan and I don't have a tail so we don't have to worry about that. If I had my tail, I'd be a lot stronger."
"Maybe, but you wouldn't be able to see the glorious moon. You'd be a giant monkey killing everyone and destroying everything," Chi-Chi said.
Goku stood up and held his hand out to Chi-Chi. "Let's take a walk. It's quiet here so Gohan will be safe."
Chi-Chi took her hand in Goku's and he helped her up. They walked further by the river far from the campsite. "I bet if I had my tail and I turned into a giant monkey I could crush those Androids with my feet." He laughed wickedly. "But fighting without my tail would be a challenge. I will be able to beat them."
"Goku, don't get too arrogant in your fighting. You know better than that," Chi-Chi said.
"You know how I fight, Chi-Chi," Kakarot said. "I must think I can win. There's nothing wrong about being confident to win."
"Of course not, Goku, but the way you are talking…well you sound too confident. You think you can do anything."
"I can," Kakarot said. "I am a Saiyan."
Chi-Chi rolled her eyes at his nonsense.
"So, you're not pregnant yet?" Kakarot asked slowly.
Chi-Chi snapped to attention. Her husband didn't know about the birth control pills she was taking and there was no way Chi-Chi was going to tell him. "Um, no," she meekly spoke. "It's only been a few weeks."
Kakarot pulled off his clothes before Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi stood there confused at her husband's actions. He stepped in the water and looked back at Chi-Chi. "Come on. Get undress."
Chi-Chi looked around to see if her husband was talking to her. "Me?"
Kakarot laughed. "Who else would I be talking to? There's no one around. Come on. Do it."
Chi-Chi was hesitant but complied with his request. She stepped nude in the water with him. She felt a blush rise on her cheeks as she realized they were both naked in the water together on a warm, calm night.
Kakarot placed a finger on her chin and tilted her head upwards so he could look at her face. "Maybe we should try it again."
I began to wonder about my Goku. I wondered if that talk with Vegeta weeks ago scrambled his brain. No, that couldn't be right. No matter Vegeta said, Goku wouldn't get influenced by him. Still, I felt I should have a talk with him. The next week when Goku and Gohan went back to training with Piccolo, I made a trip to Capsule Corp.
****
Bulma was surprised to see Chi-Chi at the door. The woman never came to Capsule Corp. unless she was looking for her husband and son whom she thought were training.
"Hi, Chi-Chi. Are you looking for Goku and Gohan because they're not here."
"I know that. I wanted to talk to Vegeta," Chi-Chi said.
Bulma raised a suspicious eyebrow. "Why?"
"It concerns my husband," Chi-Chi said hoping that would be enough.
"Is something wrong with Goku?" Bulma asked.
"No. I just want to talk to Vegeta. May I see him?"
"He's not gonna wanna talk to you," Bulma said matter factly.
Chi-Chi was getting annoyed at Bulma's questions and her refusal to let her see Vegeta. Why wouldn't Bulma let her see Vegeta? "I'll risk it."
Bulma looked as if she was thinking and rolled her eyes. "Fine." She led Chi-Chi outside around the back where Vegeta was training in the gravity room in the Capsule Spaceship.
"We're working on a gravity room inside my home so Vegeta wouldn't be training out here," Bulma explained. She opened the door. "Go ahead, but he won't want to talk to you."
I didn't know what Bulma's problem was with me seeing Vegeta, but later on, I soon found out.
Chi-Chi stood in the doorway of the gravity. Vegeta felt the door open behind him. He turned around seeing Chi-Chi. He knew he saw her from somewhere but he couldn't place it. Didn't he see her when Dr. Brief came and took him and the Nameks to his home? Wasn't she at the Capsule Corp. dome when they used the Namek dragon balls to revive Krillin and learned Goku was alive? Vegeta wasn't sure. He wasn't paying attention to the woman.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Chi-Chi held on the edge of the door, trying to stand in the gravity in the room. It was extremely heavy even from the edge and it was taking all the will in her to not fall flat on the floor, but Vegeta was handling it with ease, as long as she ignored the extreme sweat on his body and the strain on his face.
"I'm Son Chi-Chi. Goku's wife."
Vegeta looked at her as if glaring this time. "I remember now. You're that loudmouth woman screaming for Gohan after that woman's father landed his plane to pick us and the Nameks up when were transported to Earth."
"Could you please turn that machine off?" Chi-Chi requested. "It's getting to me. I need to talk to you about my husband."
Vegeta huffed and turned the gravity machine off. Chi-Chi stepped inside the ship and Vegeta closed the door. For some reason, he felt Goku's wife didn't want to have this conversation with Bulma looking on nosily.
He grabbed a towel and dried himself off. "What do you want to talk to me about Kakarot for?"
"I want to know what you told him when he came to see you."
"Why?" Vegeta asked questioningly.
"He's my husband. I should know."
Vegeta raised a suspicious eyebrow. "Kakarot looks like the goof who would tell his wife everything. So, you should already know what I told him. What's really going on? Why are you here?"
Vegeta was a sharp one all right, Chi-Chi noted. "My husband has been acting strangely."
"You mean more than usual?" Vegeta joked.
Chi-Chi scowled at him. "No. Goku's has been a little obsessed with being a Saiyan lately. He even wants me to call him by his Saiyan name sometimes. You'd probably corrupted him by telling him about his people."
"Corrupt? Kakarot?" Vegeta had to laugh at that. "What if he does want you to call him by his Saiyan name? He is a Saiyan. It's about time he started taking pride in his heritage."
"There's more to it than that," Chi-Chi said rather nervous to continue. "Sometimes he's not happy. He's very serious at times. Goku is always a happy person, but lately he has not been that way. He even was too hard on Gohan with his training. My poor little boy was battered up badly and limping."
"So? That brat probably needs discipline," Vegeta said.
"Gohan is not a brat!" Chi-Chi argued. "He's a good boy! Goku has never been hard on Gohan. He's never discipline him. He lets Gohan do whatever he wants. He never hurt Gohan in training."
"Have you ever stopped to think that Kakarot is rough on Gohan because of what the Androids plan to do in three years? According to that kid from the future, all of us are going to be wiped out, but I will survive. Kakarot is making your son tougher in preparation for them. If your son gets hurt now, he'll be stronger and a better fighter to avoid his father's attack later on. Do you understand now?" Vegeta barked.
In a way, it made sense and in a way it didn't. No matter how strong Goku was, he wouldn't hurt Gohan like that. Of course they never trained together before but I knew my Goku wouldn't hurt his son like that. I remembered to when Goku trained me after we married. He was never rough on me. Of course times were peaceful then.
"You might be right," Chi-Chi admitted.
"Of course I'm right," Vegeta said arrogantly. "Now leave. I have training to do."
Maybe I was overreacting. The overprotective mother taking over inside of me. I knew I was going to be late going home so I picked up some items from the store so Goku would ask where I was. I made the long walk home and swore I had to get Goku to get his driver's license so he could take me to the store.
Chi-Chi opened the door to her home while carrying two large grocery bags that blinded her vision. She was glad Goku and Gohan weren't home yet. Chi-Chi started to put the groceries up when Goku entered the house, carrying a very battered and beaten Gohan in the house. He had bruises and cuts on his arms and a black eye.
"Gohan!" Chi-Chi cried running to her son. She took him out of Goku's arms. She looked at her husband. "What happened to him?"
"He didn't duck," Kakarot said simply.
"What?"
"I'm trying to make him a Super Saiyan. If he becomes a Super Saiyan now, he'll be even stronger in three years," Kakarot explained.
"He's only seven years old. He's only a child."
"He needs to learn somehow," Kakarot said simply.
This time Piccolo entered the house and spoke up. "Maybe, Goku, but you're being too rough on Gohan. Like his mother said, he's just a child."
Kakarot glared at Piccolo. "Gohan's my son and I know what he can and cannot do and I say he can and will be a Super Saiyan!"
Chi-Chi laid Gohan on the sofa and approached Kakarot. "Goku what's gotten into you?"
"What are you talking about, woman?" he snarled.
"Woman? Goku, you know better than that. We had this discussion before. You call me Chi-Chi!"
"You're still a woman and compared to me a weak human," Kakarot spat.
"Weak?" Chi-Chi hated being called that. Chi-Chi grabbed Kakarot by one of his arms and threw him out the open door. "How's that for weak?! You stay out there until you act your normal self again!"
Then something happened that I would never forget.
Kakarot growled as he stood up. "No woman throws me! Not even my own wife!"
I gasped as I saw my husband approached me with tremendous speed. I couldn't believe it. Goku, my husband, the gentlest person I ever knew was going to attack me--his wife. I've yelled at Goku a lot in our marriage and Goku never yelled or argued back. I knew he was the strongest man alive and could destroy a planet with his hands but I was never scared of him or his power. For the first time in my life as I saw him approached me with such anger and power, I was.
Luckily for Chi-Chi, Piccolo got before her and punched Kakarot, knocking him to the ground. "What's the matter with you, Goku?! You're going to attack your own wife?!"
A sudden change overcame Kakarot as he reverted back to his gentle self. He looked up at Piccolo with confusion and disbelief and then his eyes fell to Chi-Chi. He saw the fear in her eyes and wondered how he could do such a thing.
"Goku…" Chi-Chi said cautiously as she moved beside Piccolo and slowly approached Goku. "What's wrong?"
"Chi-Chi…" he said weakly, pleadingly and Chi-Chi was on her knees too at his side. She embraced him and he clutched on her tightly as if he was going to lose her.
Chi-Chi soothed him by rubbing his hair and talking to him softly. "It's all right. It's all right." She kept saying over and over. "Tell me what's wrong." Chi-Chi rested her chin on top of his head and looked at Piccolo worriedly. He returned the concern look to Chi-Chi.
"I'm fine," Goku said quietly. "I'm fine."
I didn't believe it and neither did Piccolo. We both knew something was wrong with Goku. That's when I noticed Goku was shaking in my arms. I wanted to help my husband, but I didn't know how. He was in pain. Something was seriously wrong with Goku and by each day he was getting worst.
To Be Continued
SSJ Kain: Kakarot's creep now.
Nisha: Thanks!
Jessica C: Hey, you're nice enough to review, I'm going to reply back.
CB: Kakarot is all over Chi-Chi for both reasons. I remember when I first saw 'Transformed at Last' and 'Explosion of Anger' I got scared of Goku. I laugh at it now. Goku meant well. Because he knew Gohan had to leave for his own safety and Goku had to fight Frieza alone. They never showed how Ox King broke the ship but you can guess he used his muscles. He was doing it to protect his daughter.
SkittleKicks: It was mostly because of the sexual content that I won't ever post the R-rated version and the violence in certain scenes that I thought were too strong. There was also a point where Gohan gotten beaten very badly by Goku in this chapter and I took it out, but you got the gist of how he pounded Gohan. He'll beat him up later as read in chapter one. Kakarot fights more? I always thought Goku and Kakarot fought the same way except Kakarot is more ruthless.
Shiomei: Thanks! I don't think Chi-Chi being pregnant now would be a good thing.
Lady Athena: Not really. After I read most of this story, I really felt uncomfortable posting it because there are more underage people reading these stories than I realized when I first started writing DBZ stories. So, for a time I thought about not posting and I really wanted too so I edited and tone it down to a PG-13. Kakarot has been suppressed for most of Goku's life so when he comes out and wants a little lovin', can't be too surprise right? Hee. Hee.
Brios201: Thanks.
Leigh: Well, from the last chapter, restarting the Saiyan race for one. You have to figure the rest out.
Ultimate Seto-Fan: YES! You're right! I would bop Kakarot on the head too if he wanted me popping babies out year after year. Glad you're liking this fic!
Contrail: Thanks. I read a few Kakarot stories and it's the same thing and I never saw Kakarot as that. I always thought of him as the opposite of Goku.
SSjChika: I'll let you sweat on that one.
Chuquita: Yeah, I was freaked when he first transformed and I was an adult not a little kid. Just seeing those veins popping out of his head, him flicking back and forth from normal Saiyan to Super Saiyan and then when transform and he didn't have pupils in his eyes and the rage, I freaked. He looks kind of hot as Super Saiyan Three. You don't think Kakarot is evil. Okay. Keep telling yourself that.
DBZ Chick: I did!
Moon Girl: Thanks!
Goten's Guardian Angel: I guess this is an original story.
V Son Saiyan: What happened to Goku? When he turned SS it triggered his Kakarot side to come out. You have to wait and see for the rest.
Gogirl: LOL! Another kid. Creepy. The Bardock movie airs in Sept. I am there! Thanks for letting me know! I'll explain more about Goku/Kakarot later. Be patient and you'll see.
Oninu: You must like it because you want to see good Goku go bad.
