The Past Returns

Part Two

Chi-Chi looked at herself in the mirror as she ran a brush gently through her dark hair. She had thought about cutting it a while back but Goku told her he liked her hair long, so she left it at that. She had stopped putting her hair up in a bun, leaving it down and pulled back in a simple barrette. Goku seemed to like it that way a lot more, too. Chi-Chi also admitted that it made her look younger to when she was a teenager engaged to Goku. But staring in the mirror wasn't a young teen, full of innocence and love, but an older woman full of experience and wisdom with a little of that innocent love that she hadn't forgotten over the years. How could she, considering the person she was married to.

She was gracefully getting old from the few wrinkles and lines around her eyes and mouth to the tiny gray hairs that like to sneak up on her. She quickly pulled those out as soon as she saw them. Looking in the mirror, she saw Goku watching her with a peculiar look in his eyes that made her blush. She thought it was amazing at how young Goku still looked and how much older she looked now compared to him and yet Goku still desired her. It really boosted her confidence around him intimately whenever she thought of the matter of how she was aging and he wasn't.

Chi-Chi left the dresser and got in bed with Goku. Grabbing her pillow, she lightly slapped him across his face. "I hate you."

Goku blinked confused. "You do? Why?"

Chi-Chi put her pillow behind her and looked at her husband. "Because I'm a fifty-four year old woman and I look like I'm fifty-four, whereas you are a fifty-four year old man who looks like he's thirty."

"Oh, well, I'm a Saiyan," Goku explained.

Chi-Chi ran a hand through his spiky hair. "That's for sure. Maybe I should ask Shenron to make me younger so I can age as you."

"Aw, Chi-Chi, you shouldn't worry about aging. You're always going to look pretty to me."

"Really?" Chi-Chi spoke hopefully.

"Of course. I'm always going to think you're pretty. I'm always going to think you're the best cook, too."

Chi-Chi laughed and hugged her husband. "Admit it. You all will be lost without me cooking your food, cleaning your clothes and keeping house."

Goku murmured something in agreement as he stroked Chi-Chi's back slowly. He blinked when he didn't feel anything but her smooth back through the thin gown. That was unlike Chi-Chi to wear nothing under her clothing. He felt Chi-Chi caressing the smooth muscles on his back, knowing how it affected him. His breath quickened and he heard a low chuckle from his wife.

Goku responded by placing a kiss on a sensitive spot on Chi-Chi's neck. She moaned softly and tilted her head to allow him better access. "I'm always going to find you pretty and attractive, Chi-Chi. So, don't worry about aging," Goku whispered in her ear.

He kissed her on the lips, softly and passionately. Chi-Chi wrapped an arm around his neck and pulled him down on the bed with her. Her hands spread all over his body, touching and caressing all the chiseled muscles on her husband's body within her grasp. Goku pushed her gown up her body with his hands and only pulled away from Chi-Chi's lips to remove her gown. When his lips met hers again, their kisses grew more heavy and passionate until Goku pulled back suddenly, leaving his breathing just as ragged and heavy as hers.

With an idea, Goku rolled on his side never taking his eyes off Chi-Chi. She gave him a perplexed looked, wondering why he stopped but look on entranced at his left hand as Goku watched it with intense concentration. Soon his hand illuminated in a light yellow glow. He smirked at Chi-Chi mischievously.

Chi-Chi returned the smirk, knowing what was to come. They've done this many times before. Goku would light his hand using the right amount of ki and gently touch her from her breasts down to her waist and stomach to her lower regions sending Chi-Chi over the edge every time. Just thinking about what happens when Goku does this got Chi-Chi excited. Plus, with their sons out of the house, Chi-Chi didn't feel the need to hold anything back.

Goku's left hand hovered above Chi-Chi's right breast teasingly slow as he descended on her. He smirked at Chi-Chi who looked breathless and impatient at him for just teasing her like this.

"I'm going to make you pay for this," Chi-Chi said in a heavy breath.

Goku grinned wickedly as he lowered his hand closer to Chi-Chi. Chi-Chi was starting to feel the slow warmth of Goku's hand as it neared her. She felt herself shuddering at the upcoming pleasure and was about to moan loudly as he was about to touch her until…

Knock. Knock. Knock.

The room fell silent as Chi-Chi and Goku stopped what they were doing. Chi-Chi looked in the direction of the door and then back at Goku. "Did you hear something?"

"Um, no, I don't think so," Goku said.

"Hmp," Chi-Chi wondered and looked at Goku. "Don't stop," she said. Goku was about to touch her when they heard the knocking again, louder this time. Goku diminished the ki in his hands, putting an end to their night of pleasure…for now. Chi-Chi groaned in annoyance already upset at whoever it was at the door. "Who is it?" she called out at the door.

"It's Gogeta. I saw a light on and I thought I'd let you know I was back from the festival. You guys missed a great fireworks show."

Goku and Chi-Chi attended the festival in the mountain village with their surrounding neighbors earlier that night. The festival was a gathering of neighbors in the forty mile radius. With the residence in these areas living so far apart, the festival was held every few years. It was like a block party where neighbors brought their food for the festival, participated in fun activities, and talked to each other like relatives at a family reunion. The festival always ends with a large firework display. Goku and Chi-Chi decided to leave early before the fireworks, leaving Goten, Marron and Gogeta at the festival.

"Oh?"

"Yeah." There was a pause. "Did I come back at a bad time?" Gogeta asked through the door. Laughter could be heard in the back of his voice. "Dad's ki is a little higher than usual."

"No," Chi-Chi said too quickly, looking around for her gown. "Goku, help me find my gown," she whispered to him. When she found it on the floor, she threw it on herself sloppily. "You can come in, son."

"Chi-Chi, it's on backwards and inside out," Goku said just as the door opened and Gogeta entered the room.

At nearly eighteen years old, Gogeta looked like a young Vegito, matching the build and hairstyle. His father was looking cheerful as usual but when he saw the flushed look on his mother's face, not to mention the way her nightgown was on and the untidiness of her hair, he smirked. He was old enough to know what was going on and it didn't bother him that his parents were still like that. He grew up in a happy and loving home.

"I'll make this quick. You missed a great fireworks show. Better than the one five years ago."

"Is Goten home?" Goku asked.

"No, he went to take Marron home." Gogeta folded his arms with a smirk on his face. "I'm sure the fireworks show will be nothing compared to what's going to happen tomorrow, seeing it as a special day and all."

"Your birthday tomorrow will be the same as last year--a party with your family," Chi-Chi said.

Gogeta smiled smugly. "Eighteen is a special birthday for a young man. I know you guys are planning something big, but I'll wait since it is tomorrow. In fact, I'll go to bed now so tomorrow can come sooner. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some sleep," he grinned, causing a blush to rise on his mother's cheek. "Good night, Mom, Dad." He walked out of the room and closed the door.

Chi-Chi sighed and laid back on the bed, a worried look on her delicate face. "I hope tomorrow does go well. It's not everyday you tell your son he has two fathers and a brother he thought of as a friend."

"Gogeta has been around Vegeta and Trunks all his life. He thinks of them as family already. I think he'll be fine with it," Goku said confidently.

Chi-Chi looked over to the chest and stared at the box on top. The box was wrapped in dark blue wrappings and an orange bow. In that box contained a uniform once worn by Vegito with pictures and unseen videos of Vegeta and Trunks with Gogeta as a baby before he could remember.

"I hope you're right."

Kiro and Kira walked onto the bridge of the ship. They looked out the window once their ship past the clouds to see more of the planet they were on. They saw tall buildings lacking the fine architecture designs of their home planet, air cars in traffic jams, people walking down the street at their leisure in various types of clothing. The whole area looked ancient compared to their home on Olympus.

Kira sat in a chair. "Such primitive surroundings. I can't believe King Apollo wants us to get this Chi-Chi in this place."

"We have our orders--get Chi-Chi and return." Kiro said as he saw a flying car past by the ship. Smirking, he pressed a button on the control panel and from atop the ship, a laser gun emerged and fired on the air car, turning it into cinders. He looked towards his sister who was smiling wickedly. "But it doesn't mean we don't get to have any fun."

Kira rose from her seat. "I couldn't agree with you more, brother. But you had fun last time when we attacked Planet Cumulus. I want to have fun this time."

Kiro rolled his eyes. "Fine." He pulled out a round device, similar to a compass and typed a few buttons. An arrow appeared on the small screen of the device, pointing in one direction and beeping wildly. "I typed in the last coordinates of Chi-Chi from twenty-six years ago. She's south from here. I'll get her and come back. This won't take long. In the mean time, you can have fun with destroying this city."

Kira smiled. "Don't worry, brother. I will."

Kiro gave his sister a thumbs up, open a side door to the ship and flew out. Kiro looked at the device in his hands that was beeping. "Look out, Chi-Chi. Here I come."

Chi-Chi hummed to herself happily as she put the finishing touches to Gogeta's birthday cake. It was Gogeta's favorite cake--chocolate caked covered in white icing. She had to make two large ones considering the guests that were coming. Most of the food was done while the rest of the food was cooking on the stove and in the oven. It was a huge feast since everyone--Ox King, Gohan and his family, Goten and Marron and Vegeta and Trunks were coming. Videl and Pan arrived earlier with food from their home to help Chi-Chi out.

Videl and Pan also helped by setting the tables outside. They put two long picnic tables together and covered them with two long table cloths. The tables were to hold everyone and all the food that was going to be put on the table. Pan looked up as the Ox King's car pulled up.

"Mom, it's great-grandpa!" Pan said cheerfully. The young teen turned towards the window where she saw her grandmother icing the last cake. "Grandma! It's great-grandpa!"

Chi-Chi finished working on the cake, cleaned her hands off on her apron and walked outside. She saw her huge father getting out of the little car he drove him. Considering his height, any car was too small for him. "Dad!" Chi-Chi called out cheerfully and hugged her elderly father. In his eighties, Ox King was still tall but his figure wasn't quite as large as he was in his younger days since his muscles were slightly fading as he got older. His hair was now a full shade of gray. Though older, his figure still poised a formidable threat even though he hasn't fought in decades. "I'm so glad you could make it."

Ox King laughed joyfully. "You know I wouldn't miss my grandson's birthday."

Chi-Chi pulled out of her father's embrace and the two walked inside the house. "Everything is almost done. Everyone should be here in about an hour or so we can get this party started."

"So, you and Goku are going to tell Gogeta everything?"

Chi-Chi nodded agreeing with her father. "Yeah, Dad. We are. We both feel it's time. Gogeta's eighteen now. He's a young man and needs to know the truth. I just hope it goes well and he's not angry at us for keeping this secret from him. He was too young to know as a child, but now as an adult, I think he's ready."

"It'll be all right, Chi-Chi. Gogeta's a good kid. You and Goku raised him well." Ox King looked around, noticing the house was empty. "Where are they anyway?"

"Goku and Gogeta are out training with Vegeta. I know they will be here in time for the party. No way would they miss out on all this food."

Ox King laughed in agreement. "When has a Saiyan ever missed out on food?"

After finishing setting the table, Videl and Pan decided to head back in the house. Pan looked up and saw a figure in the sky preparing to land before them. "Mom, look. There's someone landing." She squinted her eyes and held a hand above her eyes to block out the shining sun. "I've never seen him before."

Videl looked up and followed the figure until he landed. She hadn't seen him before either. He was a very athletic man dressed in the strangest garbs--a white toga revealing the muscles on his arms, legs and chest with gold boots fitted for a warrior. "Who are you?"

Kiro gave Videl a charming smile. "I'm looking for Chi-Chi. Is she here?"

The smile Videl received from Kiro sent a shiver down Videl's back. 'I don't this trust this guy. I've never seen him before and his power level isn't normal. It's very high. He's not even trying to suppress it.' "Are you a friend of Chi-Chi?"

"I know someone who knows her. I've come with an important message."

'Yeah, right. I don't know who he is but he is bad news and whatever reasons he want Chi-Chi, it can't be good.'

The door to the house opened and Chi-Chi, Ox King and Pan stepped out. While her mother was talking to the strange man, Pan went inside to tell her grandmother what was going on. Curious, Chi-Chi stepped out.

Kiro looked to the door and saw Chi-Chi. At least the woman did look like the picture of Chi-Chi he had, only years older. 'Is that really her?' He looked over and saw the Ox King. 'Is he…"

"Are you the Ox King?" Kiro asked.

Ox King stepped forward not liking Kiro either. "I am. What do you want with my daughter?"

A wicked smile curled up Kiro's face. 'So, it is Chi-Chi, but she's much older. No matter what, King Apollo said to bring Chi-Chi to him. Won't he be surprised by her appearance.' He bit back a chuckle at his King's reaction to Chi-Chi. "I wasn't expecting to meet you, too, Ox King, but it is a pleasant surprise."

****

Punches, kicks and blocks were coming in from all directions. It was two on one and the fighting was intense. They moved so fast that only the sounds of their grunts, punches and battle cries were heard. The two fighters weren't showing any mercy on their single opponent…just the way Gogeta liked it. He was in Super Saiyan form fighting off Goku and Vegeta in Super Saiyan forms as well. He got in an uppercut on Vegeta and elbowed Goku hard in the stomach. Both full bloodied Saiyans were sent back for a moment but they came in at full force to attack Gogeta again. Gogeta fought hard dodging and blocking Goku and Vegeta's kicks and punches. However, Gogeta didn't come by unscathed he came in contact with tough punches from both Goku and Vegeta on his chest. Gogeta slammed into the ground destroying the perfect green grass of the valley they were fighting in by twenty feet. Gogeta jumped back up and shot to the sky again to resume fighting.

By the time the match was over, all three were exhausted and dirty. Gogeta looked at his torn uniform. It was Goku's old red fighting gi that he used in his many fights from the past. Goku had long since given up his normal red gi after the new gi Chi-Chi made for him several years ago. Gogeta's pants were ripped at the knees, his red shirt was in tatters and his blue weighted shirt was torn halfway.

"Mom's going to get me for ruining my gi like this," Gogeta said with a frown.

Goku laughed. "Chi-Chi'll be all right about it. It is your birthday. She'll give you special treatment. It's me who's going to get it."

Gogeta looked at his father and laughed. "You're a mess yourself, Dad."

Goku laughed looking at his gi. Half his light blue shirt was on him while the other half was torn in the fight, exposing half of his chest and his green pants was torn off on his right calf, leaving half his leg bare. "I can never keep my clothes from getting torn when I'm in a good fight."

"What else is new?" Vegeta grumbled before taking a sip of water by the lake. He was exhausted, too. His fighting suit had a few tatters on the ends but his clothes weren't nearly as torn as Goku and Gogeta's.

Gogeta looked over at Vegeta and laughed. "Yeah, I guess we should get one size fits all suits like you, Vegeta. Still, it was a good training session we had. All three of us don't usually spar together."

Goku agreed with Gogeta there. Half of Gogeta's training consisted of Goku's lessons and the other half from Vegeta. It was always separate and never together. After all, there was no sense in Goku and Vegeta sharing their secrets in fighting with each other. They were still rivals after all in a friendly way. Whenever the three would get together to fight it was to test Gogeta's strength.

"It was. You almost had us that time, Gogeta," Goku said. "You're very strong. You're even stronger than Goten and Trunks. You might be stronger than Gohan, but since he doesn't have the time to fight, I guess we won't know for sure."

Vegeta looked over at his son. He was proud of his strength, too. Gogeta put more effort in fighting than Trunks and Goten did. Vegeta knew just as Goku did that Gogeta kept them on their toes. Gogeta's strength and determination to be stronger than them inspired Goku and Vegeta to keep up in their training. They certainly weren't going to let Gogeta be stronger than them. They were Saiyans after all. They had their pride.

"So, is the reason you and Vegeta kept me out of the house all this time is because of a certain birthday party for me? I noticed you and Vegeta could barely hold me off. I'm stronger than you guys. Admit it," Gogeta joked confidently.

Goku laughed. "You're getting too proud of yourself, son."

Vegeta walked over with an arrogant smirk on his face. "I agree with Kakarot. It's gonna take more than a few cheap shots for you to defeat me."

"Uh-huh," Gogeta said not buying it. He stretched his muscles. "While you two are here, I think I should tell you something that I was going to wait until tonight. But why wait. I should do it now. I know what I want to do with my life. I'm going to open up a Martial Arts School."

"A Martial Arts School? That's great," Goku said proudly. "But I wonder what your mother would say."

"Mom's fine with it. I told her about it a few months ago. I kind of wanted her approval first. I know how Mom is about my education and wanting me to make a living. I love to fight and I had the best martial artists in the universe as teachers. I thought I'd share my teachings with others. It's a good way to make a living, too. It's something Goten and I have been talking about for a while now. He likes to fight but I like it more than him so I thought we should open up a school together."

"How are you going to get the money for that?" Vegeta asked.

"Simple. I convinced Hercule to retire and to send all his students and any new students to our school. Hercule is also going to pay for the school to be built out here."

"Wow. How did you convince Hercule to do all that?" Goku asked. "That man never wants to give up his fame."

Gogeta smirked. "I have my ways. I can be very persuasive when I need to be."

Vegeta smiled proudly at Gogeta. There was a lot of him in the young man. "What exactly did you tell him?"

Gogeta smirked at Vegeta. "Oh, something along the lines that it was wrong for him to be taking credit for something he didn't do like defeating Cell, that he was getting a little old to be pulling the charades that he was still the champ and how I might enter in the next tournament and fight to my fullest, and when I win, I'll open up a Martial Arts School with my money. After hearing that, Hercule jumped at the idea of funding my school and sending all his students there."

Vegeta chuckled. 'That's my son.'

Gogeta tensed suddenly and looked towards the sky in the north as did Vegeta and Goku. There was an unfamiliar but powerful force felt by all three men. Gogeta took a few steps forward in the direction. "Do you feel that? What an amazing power."

"Yeah, I feel it to," Goku said. "I wonder who it could be. I never felt it before."

Gogeta floated in the sky. "Let's go check it out," Gogeta said and flew off. Goku and Vegeta followed.

When they flew to the source of the power in North City, they saw the city was in flames. People were running and screaming for their lives. Air cars crashed into each other and the occupants got out and ran for cover. Gogeta, Goku, and Vegeta looked above them and saw an alien ship firing on the city. They were under attack.

To Be Continued

Moonlight Angel: At the end of 'Unexpected Love', ChiChi was 41. In this story, she's 54. I think you really gonna like this one. Apollo is an evil guy.

MidnightGoddess: Yeah, how about you come in the story and be Vegeta's girlfriend? Hee. Hee. Tell him to read this story with you but tell him to skip Part Three though and jump on to Part Four because he won't like what happens in Part Three.

Danichan667: It's okay. I'm liking this story a lot and I like Greek mythology, too. I think it started when I first saw the movie "Jason and the Argonauts." It's an old movie and they brought it mythological characters.

Sadako: I hope so, too. I don't want another madness to happen with this story like the other. If it does, I plan to block and delete reviews if it does come to that because it's downright ridiculous to be complaining after all the warnings. Yay! Someone else remembers Voltron. It's one of my favorite cartoons of the '80s--the best decades of cartoons. I missed ThunderCats on Toonami, too.

Negi Ramen: Apollo is an evil guy and do what he wants to get what he wants.

Lady Athena: I had this sequel in mind since September so while I was finishing 'Unexpected Love' I was working on the outline for this story. It's gonna get a little unexpected. Apollo is in for a shock all right, but it's not what you're thinking. Hee. Hee. I laughed my butt off during the episode where Goku fights ChiChi. It was so funny. I'm looking forward to the fight between Piccolo and Goku. I know that's gonna be good. I meant to comment on your last review on 'Unexpected Love'. You're right. I didn't expect all the drama that came to that story and I didn't know there were so many Bulma haters. I guess they have a story to read now.

Moon Girl: You can pretty much guess what I'm going to do. Heh. Heh. Yes, I saw the show where Goku and ChiChi fought. I was laughing so hard I started to cry. Goku cracked me up with his naivety and him running away from ChiChi and avoiding her attacks during the match. It was so funny, but it was so sweet on how he propose to her. Bulma doesn't need to be in this one to mess things up.

CB: It's the sequel to the story. Thirteen years from where I left off. DB comes on at 1am where you live? Ouch! I don't suppose you have a TV in your room.

Vampiric Entity: Yeah, in a way. They are very strong and have special abilities similar to the DBZ characters. The Gemini Twins aren't Greek Gods. They have amazing strength and agility and are pretty much based on their sign. Gemini's are childlike, playful, but have good wit and intellect and the Kiro and Kira have that in my story.

Chuquita: Nah, Gogeta's all grown up. You're really gonna like her in the next chapter.

Raquel: It's meant to be different from its predecessor. I wanted this to have more adventure and fighting to it.

Gogirl: I don't mind you telling me about the shows you've seen but I prefer it that you don't tell me anything about the shows CN haven't aired yet. I like to wait and see for myself. I'm not saying anything about this story. You'll have to wait and see for yourselves. I saw the fight between Goku and ChiChi and I laughed my butt off. It was very sweet on how he proposed to ChiChi and cute how she wiped Goku's sweat away with a cloth and Goku pulled back. They are a cute couple. Of course the fight between Goku and ChiChi wasn't going to be long. ChiChi's strong but she is nowhere in Goku's league. He can take her out with one hit if he wanted too. I think you might not want to hold your breath about seeing Goku and ChiChi kissing on the lips because DB/DBZ isn't like that. It'll be nice to see but I doubt if they show it. In the manga, ChiChi didn't kiss Goku on the cheek and they didn't show but implied the kiss on the lips in DBZ. The show isn't like that and it's not because the animators can't draw people kissing. Some reviewer said that in one of my stories. If an animator can't draw people kissing, then they shouldn't be animators in the first place.

I purchased the DVD of the Piccolo Jr. Saga Pt. One and Krillin was quite envious of Goku when ChiChi approached him. When Goku asked Krillin what a bride was, Krillin told him that it's a girl he marries and called Goku a jerk and asked him when he promised to marry such a cute girl and that it wasn't fair because Goku gets everything. After ChiChi kissed Goku on the cheek, Krillin was saying it wasn't fair over and over because Goku got engage to a cute girl. I wish they did that in the English version.

Solita: See, you should've finished Unexpected Love instead of jumping to the end. Hee. Hee. It's so confusing if you skip to the end especially if you last left it at chapter nine because there's a lot of things you missed.
