Healing Old Wounds
Part Five
Goku had waited a few hours before arriving to Mirai Chi-Chi's house. He knew by the look on her face when she left, she was furious with him and it will take her a while to cool down. He walked home wondering what he could do to make it up to her but nothing came to mind.
It was sunset when he arrived at the house. Mirai Chi-Chi was in the kitchen finishing up dinner. Goku looked at the table through the window and saw it was covered with the food Mirai Chi-Chi promised him in the cave with the skunks and porcupines. He noticed a calm expression on her face and thought it was safe to go in.
Mirai Chi-Chi looked at the door when she saw Goku entering. She resumed with her task. Goku walked in quietly and looked at the food she cooked. "You made all this?"
"I said I would," Mirai Chi-Chi said as she set the table. "Clean up so you can eat."
Goku headed upstairs to the bathroom to clean his hands. Afterwards, he sat at the table. He wanted to eat but he thought it would be best if he apologized to Mirai Chi-Chi first. "Chi-Chi, I'm sorry about the wish. When you said you wished you could be young again, I thought that was what you wanted and since I didn't know what to do with the second wish, I thought I give that to you. I thought it would make you happy and that's all I wanted. I see now that I was wrong. If there's anyway I could make it up to you--"
Mirai Chi-Chi put her hand up stopping Goku. "Goku, stop. It's over. I know you didn't mean to hurt me, but you did and there's nothing you can do about it. Let's just eat."
Dinner was eaten in uncomfortable silence. Mirai Chi-Chi didn't say much to him for the rest of the night. When they went to bed, Mirai Chi-Chi went to her room for the first time since Goku arrived.
The next morning after breakfast, Goku stood in the backyard of the house sparring by himself. He threw kicks, punches and a few ki blasts in the air.
Suddenly, he heard a yell. He looked back and saw it was Mirai Chi-Chi coming at him with a flying kick. Goku ducked and Mirai Chi-Chi gracefully maneuvered herself on the ground. She charged on him again throwing kicks and punches at Goku. Goku dodged and blocked Mirai Chi-Chi's kicks with his legs and arms and caught the punches Mirai Chi-Chi threw at him with his hands. Goku thought Mirai Chi-Chi was still upset with him by that wish and this was her way for getting back at him, but if she thought she could defeat him, she must be crazy.
Mirai Chi-Chi jumped back and to Goku's surprise, she had a smile on her face. "Seems I'm still in the same fighting condition as I was when I fought at the tournament."
"Chi-Chi?" Goku said confused.
"I know you, Goku. You are like my husband and whenever I'm upset with him, he always tries to think of something to make me feel better. Well, the least you can do is teach me how to be a better fighter before you leave."
"Really? You want to be stronger?" Goku asked.
"There's nothing else for me to do. I'm young again. When I was young before, I had a family to take care of and fighting wasn't important, but since I'm alone here and there's no one for me to care for, I might as well train. It might actually make the time go by faster," Mirai Chi-Chi explained.
Goku smiled, understanding. "If that's what you want, then let's get started. We have a lot to cover before I leave."

"You're a dirty, old pervert, but it's great to see you," Mirai Bulma said embracing Master Roshi.
Master Roshi returned the hug and for once, the old man behaved and didn't touch Mirai Bulma inappropriately. It was a day of gathering at Capsule Corporation. Goku was leaving tomorrow and everyone wanted to say their goodbyes. Master Roshi heard from Mirai Bulma about the Goku from the past being here in this time so, he, Oolong and Puar came to the reunion. It was the first time they all were together since the Androids attacked all those years ago. Those attacks split everyone up since it wasn't safe to travel and communications were destroyed. Today was bound to be a day of reminiscing, laughs, maybe some tears of sadness but everyone was going to try to be positive and focus on happier times.
Master Roshi met with Mirai Trunks next and shook the young man's hand. "Well done, son. Your father and the other warriors would be proud of you with the defeat of the Androids and Cell."
"Thank you," Mirai Trunks said appreciatively.
"Centuries ago, it was up to me to save the world. Several years later, I told Tien and later Goku, Krillin and Yamcha that the future of the world's safety depended on them. They were the next generations' fighters and protectors. Now it passes down to you. Do us old warriors proud, son."
"I will," Mirai Trunks promised.
"For an old pervert, you're very wise."
Mirai Trunks and Master Roshi looked up to see Mirai Chi-Chi landing with Goku. A smile was on the old man and young man's face as they saw the two. Master Roshi walked to Goku using his wooden walking stick. He smiled at the tall Saiyan. Losing Mirai Goku all those years ago, was like losing a dearly loved son. After all, he did train and teach Mirai Goku and he lived with him for a short time. It was a blessing to see another living Goku and know that this one survived the dreadful virus that took his older counterpart.
"Goku, you're a site for sore eyes," Master Roshi said feeling warm tears in his eyes.
"It's nice to see you, too, Master Roshi."
Master Roshi stepped closer and whispered to Goku. "The younger me in your time…does he finally get a girl?"
Goku laughed. "No, still single and living with Krillin and Oolong."
"Dang!" Master Roshi said and snapped his fingers in annoyance. He tilted his head and took another looked at Mirai Chi-Chi. She looked so young like she did so many years ago before her husband died. "Chi-Chi, is that you? You haven't changed at all. What happened? I thought you would age some after all these years."
"Yes, well, Goku made a mistake with the wishes and I ended up being young again."
Master Roshi looked the young Mirai Chi-Chi over. She wasn't wearing her normal dresses but more modern clothes--a white pair of pants, and a sleeveless, yellow blouse. Her hair was down and pulled back in a yellow ribbon. She even had some lipstick and light blush on. The pervert readjusted his dark shades liking what he saw as he stared at the flare of her hips and the size of her breasts. 'Oh, yeah!' He thought wickedly. 'Someone's stacked nicely!' "Well, that was a fine mistake Goku made." 'I wonder if I could get to squeeze some of that.'
The dirty old man could feel a heavy nosebleed coming as a dirty fantasy filled his head. He pictured Mirai Chi-Chi at the buffet table getting some food and he could 'innocently' walk by and squeeze her butt. Then when the others are sitting around talking, he could turn out the lights and squeeze her breasts. 'Oh, yeah! That could work!' He laughed dirtily.
Mirai Chi-Chi and Goku just stared at Master Roshi confused. The old man covered his nose and walked off, laughing to himself. "What's with him?" Goku asked confused.
Mirai Chi-Chi looked at Master Roshi suspiciously. "If I know that old man, it's something perverted."
The rest of the day was spent with everyone talking about what they were doing now and the others telling Mirai Trunks stories about the past of his father and their friends. As Mirai Bulma setup an old video camera of the gang at Master Roshi's place for a reunion before Mirai Goku died, Mirai Trunks told the others about some funny things that happened to him when he was in the past.
"When Goku didn't want to go back in the Time Chamber, Dad said it was because Goku couldn't handle it. Goku said being in the Time Chamber wasn't training but just beating your body up. He then told Dad he could go in because he knew how much Dad wanted to keep up with him and he would need all the time he could get."
Mirai Bulma laughed. "Oh, I know Vegeta didn't like that."
Mirai Trunks laughed. "He didn't. He said," Trunks crossed his arms over his chest and began imitating Vegeta as best he could. "Call me crazy, Kakarot, but you make it sound as if you've become a great deal stronger than I am."
Mirai Bulma, Mirai Chi-Chi, Goku, Master Roshi, Oolong and Puar laughed at Trunks imitating Vegeta.
"Then Goku says," Mirai Trunks started imitating Goku. "Sure, I'm far above you." Everyone laughed even louder. "Then Vegeta said, 'What?!'" Mirai Trunks imitated his father.
Mirai Bulma wiped the tears from her eyes. "Oh, I wish I'd seen that! Only Goku could get Vegeta riled up like that."
"Vegeta has his pride," Goku said still laughing.
"Dad sounds kind of funny when he's mad. It wasn't funny then but after I went back in time and we discovered the Androids he fought weren't the ones in my time, he got angry at me and said," Mirai Trunks cleared his throat and impersonate his father again. "You told us a pack of lies! Curse you, boy!" He even added the body actions to it and everyone burst out laughing.
"And I thought Krillin did good impersonations," Mirai Bulma said still laughing. "He did the best ones of Yajirobe." She finished setting the video up and it began playing on the TV. "I got the tape playing. By this time, everyone was here, except for Goku and his family. They don't come for another ten minutes on the film."
"I remember arriving with you smacking Roshi on the back of his head," Mirai Chi-Chi jumped.
"Yeah, Yamcha had the camera and Puar was suppose to put some suntan on me but it was Master Roshi."
"Master Roshi knocked me out and took the lotion from me," Puar explained.
Master Roshi laughed. "Oh, yeah. That was some good times," he said.
Mirai Bulma rolled her eyes. "Not all of them."
While everyone viewed the video, Goku got up to go to bathroom and Mirai Chi-Chi went to get some food at the buffet table. Master Roshi thought it was time to put his plan of groping Mirai Chi-Chi into motion. As the others laughed at the video, he casually walked up to Chi-Chi. "It's nice seeing Goku again, isn't it?"
"Yes, it is," Mirai Chi-Chi said placing food on her plate.
Master Roshi lingered on Mirai Chi-Chi's figure. Though her legs were covered in her pants, her arms weren't and they were strong, firm and young. 'Hmm, someone's been working out.'
His only comfort over the years was a collection of his old magazines he took with him when he, Oolong and Puar went into hiding. He had never seen a pretty, young woman in the flesh in a long, long time and his perverted hormones were getting the best of him.
Master Roshi saw Mirai Chi-Chi moving her hips as she walked. He looked over at the group. They were still watching the home movies. It was the perfect opportunity. "It's gonna be sad to see Goku go. I really enjoyed seeing him," Master Roshi thought.
A frown was on Mirai Chi-Chi's face. "I know, but he has to go and be with his family. I know the Chi-Chi in the past is worried about him."
"So, what will you do once he leaves?" Roshi asked
"I'll go about my business as I always have. Maybe I'll go into the city more and see you guys so it won't be so lonely," Mirai Chi-Chi said to herself. She turned around and she saw Mirai Goku on the screen.
She stared at her husband longingly wishing he was there with her now or she with him. Master Roshi thought it was now the time to touch Chi-Chi since her guard was down. If he do it right, he could squeezed her butt and pat her chest.
He looked determined. 'I'm going to do it. I won't let this opportunity slip.' He placed his hands out ready to touch her rear.
"Master Roshi!"
Everyone jumped and looked back at Goku's stern voice. Mirai Chi-Chi looked back at Master Roshi, realized what he was going to do and elbowed him in the nose causing it to bleed.
Oolong shook his head. "Dirty old man."
Master Roshi fell on his back and grabbed his nose in pain. He looked up to see Goku frowning down on him.
"Still haven't changed after all these years," Goku said shaking his head. "You're lucky that's all Chi-Chi has done to you. I've been training her severely over the past month. She's a lot stronger than she was when I fought her at the tournament. She's mastered flying and can perform the Kamehameha Wave now."
"She…can?" Master Roshi gulped. He thought that hit from Mirai Chi-Chi was stronger than before.
"I can," Mirai Chi-Chi said firmly as she made a fist. "Shall I perform a Kamehameha Wave on you?"
Master Roshi shook his head and put his hands up. "No."
****
After saying goodbye to everyone, Mirai Chi-Chi and Goku headed home. The feel of flying by herself was incredible. She felt so free and light. It was an exciting feeling. Now she understood why Goku liked it so much. She was so amazed to learn how to when Goku taught her. She didn't think she would never learn, but after Goku showed her how to control her energy and create ki, Mirai Chi-Chi was easily able to learn how to fly.
Once they landed and entered the house, they decided to head for bed. "Goku?" Mirai Chi-Chi called.
"Yeah?"
"I just wanted to say thank you. It's been great having you here for these four months. I've gotten to know my husband better. There are things I'll never get to say to him, but saying it to you has been a comfort and brought closure on several matters. I hope you have a safe journey back and I want you to take good care of your wife. If you don't," she said with a smirk, "I'll get Trunks time machine and come back to beat you up."
Goku laughed. "Don't worry. Talking to you really made me appreciate my Chi-Chi more than ever before. Things will be different from now on."
"Good. I should thank you again for training me. If there is another threat on the planet, I could actually help Trunks."
"I'm confident that Trunks can handle the world by himself if there is another threat. When there was a threat coming to Earth, they usually were after me and I'm dead in this time."
"That's true, but it didn't stop the Androids rampage. They were after you yet they continued to destroy the planet," Mirai Chi-Chi pointed out.
"You're right," Goku agreed. "But I have faith in Trunks. He's the strongest being around now and he would probably keep up on his training. If Trunks needs extra training in a short amount of time, he can go to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, and if that isn't enough, he knows that I or any of the other warriors will come here and help him. Your future should be fine from now on."
"Yes, you're probably right. Well, I advised you to get a good night sleep. You're going to need it. I'll see you in the morning. Good night."
"Chi-Chi?" Goku asked suddenly. "Are you going to be all right--being by yourself here?"
Mirai Chi-Chi smiled. "I'll be fine. Lonely, but I should be fine. Don't worry about me. Worry about getting home and taking care of your family."
Goku went to his own bedroom. After lying in bed for an hour, he realized he couldn't sleep. He was too busy thinking about Mirai Chi-Chi. He didn't want her to be lonely again or become like she was when he first arrived. She was young and lively again. Master Roshi attested to that when he tried to touch Mirai Chi-Chi.
Goku sat up in bed with an idea. "That's it! Why didn't I think of it before?" He jumped out of bed, turned on a light and wrote a note to Mirai Chi-Chi. What he had to do would take hours and Mirai Chi-Chi would be concern about him if she didn't know where he was.
When he was through with the note, he left the house flying to the only person who could help him.
****
Mirai Chi-Chi worked diligently making breakfast for Goku. It was his last day and he was leaving later this morning. It was a sad day for her to say goodbye to him, but she knew she must. His family missed him. He had a wife and son to take care of. It would be lonely without him but Mirai Chi-Chi knew she would make it. She would somehow make through these years alone.
Mirai Bulma invited her to live with her but once again, Mirai Chi-Chi refused. This place was her home. She was never going to leave it. She hadn't bothered to wake Goku this morning because he was going home and needed his rest.
After breakfast was done, Mirai Chi-Chi called out to Goku to come eat. When he didn't appear after the first call, Mirai Chi-Chi knew something wasn't right so she headed upstairs to his room.
"Goku?" Mirai Chi-Chi called softly after she knocked. "Are you in there?" When she didn't receive an answer, Mirai Chi-Chi entered the room and found it empty.
"Goku?" Mirai Chi-Chi called out worried. "He didn't leave without saying goodbye to me, did he?" She saw a note on the desk and recognized Goku's hand writing. "Chi-Chi, I've gone out but I'll be back soon. I promise. Don't worry about me. Everything's going to be all right." Mirai Chi-Chi set the paper down. "All right? How is everything going to be all right?"
Mirai Chi-Chi left the room and headed downstairs to eat breakfast alone. 'He is just like my husband. Always leaving me behind.'
"Chi-Chi! Hey, Chi-Chi!!" Goku called outside.
Mirai Chi-Chi looked out the window and saw Goku waving for her to come out. She did. "What is it, Goku and where did you go?" Mirai Chi-Chi asked.
Goku smiled excitedly. He couldn't wait to bring his surprise out. "Oh, I had to get someone important."
"Someone important? Like who?" Mirai Chi-Chi asked as she placed her hands on her hips.
Taking his cue, Mirai Goku stepped out from the side of his house. Mirai Chi-Chi's hands shot to her mouth in a gasp seeing her late husband walk towards her, looking the same as he did all those years ago, except for the gold halo on his head. Mirai Goku stood before Mirai Chi-Chi, looking down at his wife with his eyes shining with all his love for her.
"I've missed you so much, Chi-Chi," Mirai Goku spoke softly.
"Oh…my…" Mirai Chi-Chi started crying. "Goku, is it really you? Am I really seeing you?"
Mirai Goku nodded. He reached out to touch the side of her face. Mirai Chi-Chi leaned into the touch. "Yes, I'm really here."
Mirai Chi-Chi jumped in Mirai Goku's arms and he spun her around as he held her close to him, remembering the soft feel of his lovely wife. He buried his face in her hair while Mirai Chi-Chi cried on him so happy to be in his arms again.
Suddenly Mirai Chi-Chi pulled back confused. "I don't get it. How can you be here?"
"I have to thank my younger counterpart for that," Mirai Goku said and Mirai Chi-Chi looked back at Goku for an explanation.
"I remembered Baba and I went to see her. She was kind of cranky and shock to see me but I talked to her and she agreed to go to the Other World and bring Mirai Goku back for a day like she did my grandpa."
"And I was happy to get the chance to come back," Mirai Goku jumped in. "I've seen you over the years, Chi-Chi."
"You have?" Mirai Chi-Chi said surprised.
Mirai Goku nodded. "So has Gohan since he died. I know how tough its been for you."
"You're here now, even if it is just a day but I'll take what I can get," Mirai Chi-Chi said as she hugged Mirai Goku.
Goku smiled. He finally was able to make Mirai Chi-Chi happy. He hadn't seen her this happy until she saw him for the first time, thinking he was her husband. Now, it was time for him to go home and be with his family. "I think I'll go home now. Goodbye, Chi-Chi. Good luck."
"Goku, wait," Mirai Chi-Chi called out to him as she stepped out of Mirai Goku's arms. She hugged Goku and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you so much. I'll never forget this."
"You're welcome."
"Say hi to your family for me," Mirai Chi-Chi said.
"I will," he promised and saw Mirai Goku approaching. He shook his young counterpart's hand.
"Thanks," Mirai Goku said appreciatively. "Take care of your wife and son. You're blessed to have survived the virus and have the life I wasn't able to have with my family. Live in peace and happiness with your growing family," he added with a wink.
"That's the plan," Goku assured him. Goku floated in the air and wave goodbye to Mirai Goku and Mirai Chi-Chi before turning and flying as fast as he could to Trunks time machine.
Mirai Goku and Mirai Chi-Chi waved goodbye to Goku until they couldn't see him anymore. They then looked at each other and Mirai Chi-Chi jumped in his arms again, laughing happily as Mirai Goku spun her around. She then kissed him, something she had been dreaming about for a long time. Mirai Goku returned the kiss with much vigor and love.
When she pulled back, Mirai Chi-Chi looked at him with so much love. "I've missed you so much, my love."
"I've missed you more than you'll ever know."
Mirai Chi-Chi kissed him again. "I'm so happy to be with you again. You just don't know how much." She kissed once more, then again and again as the kissed deepened and gave way to passion and longing the two shared for each other.
When Mirai Goku pulled back from his wife, his eyes was glazed with love and desire. He scooped Mirai Chi-Chi in his arms, laughing along with her and entered their home.
To Be Continued
AN: About bringing Mirai Goku back, because I know some of you will have questions about that. I had always planned to bring Mirai Goku back, but I wanted it to be a surprise and I wasn't going to do it by using the dragon balls but by Baba. I told you guys before I had written an outline for this story and I'm following that. Just wait and see how it ends.
Jen: Thanks. Yay for Christmas break! I agree. I didn't like how Mirai ChiChi looked either. It could be her sadness and depression over Goku and Gohan affecting her. It really shows how they shape her life. I think Goku made up his mistake to Mirai ChiChi now.
Delphine: I guess you know now.
Oninu: Well, if Goku didn't he and I would be in trouble.
Moon Girl: I'll be more afraid of skunks than porcupines. Yecch!
Kakkabrat: Are you following that six months based on the Trunks movie? I don't follow the movies because it's created by the anime not the manga so there are some inaccuracies there especially when it comes to the timeline. I'm following this story based on the facts from the DBZ TV series, not the Trunks movie. In the TV series, Mirai Trunks told Goku that in a short while he will get the virus and die. So it could've been a year later when the Androids arrived and not six months. I might mistakes but I try not to bend the rules. I try to keep the facts of the series and characters as accurate on manga and Japanese versions (since they are more accurate than the English version) as possible unless I have to change it for a strong purpose in the story I'm creating.
Lady Athena: Don't read that crappy story! I should take the story down so you or anyone else won't read anymore. Hee. Hee. Vegeta slipped something in my drink when I wrote that horrible story, but yes I'm working on a new and better version of G/CC times together after they married. There will be some things similar to ANA but it will be better. I'm just not sure what to do with the first chapter because I want to keep the love scene in because it's funnier than all sex and the rest of the story is PG13. Thanks to the final episodes of DBZ I'm more aware of what Goku and ChiChi were like in that time of their life. Yeah, Goku goofed but he made it up I think.
Chuquita: No, I don't think Goku can transport to the Other World otherwise he will die because only dead people are allowed there. Remember at the end of the Frieza Saga when Porunga was reviving everyone. He mentions Goku was alive and that if he brings Goku to the Earth check-in station in the Other World then he will die. King Kai's planet is in another realm so to speak up there with the Other World but in another area where people who aren't dead can come like the land of the other Kais. I think he can travel to those worlds without dying.
SSJ Chika: Goku made a mistake but I think he made it up.
GD: Hmm, do you have some Butterfinger candy? If you do, I might tell you. Hee. Hee. I'm somewhat of a stickler on the rules of the show. I really like to know as much as I can about the characters or facts of the show so I can write them as close to character as I possibly could.
Gogirl: Hee. Hee. I try to keep some surprises in. I think Goku found a way to make it up to Mirai ChiChi but you're going to have to wait until next time to see what happens.
Majani_two: Thanks. Yeah, the future is bad, but that's life I guess. This story is focused more on Mirai ChiChi and not Trunks. There are so many stories about him but little to none about Mirai ChiChi's life during that time.
Helga96: I like to throw in twist and surprises. It makes the story fun. Instead of trying to figure the story out, I think it's best to wait and see what happens. No sense getting work up on something that might not happen.
Cheena Son-Briefs: It's so few stories about her life and I think her side and perspective on things is a very interesting read because she had suffered the most. She lost both her husband and son. She's all alone. Bulma still has her son. You can't blame her for being upset with Goku. It's understandable, but he did make it up.
Danichan: LOL! Mirai ChiChi would really want to kill Goku if he did that.
