The choice
Morning came too soon for Chichi. She whispered to herself that Goku was indeed a cheater. More than sweeping her off her feet, her swept her out of her mind and body. Everything seemed so clear now to her, then again everything seemed so fuzzy. Was she willing to let go of her very humanity? Was it worth it? Could she handle living like that for all eternity? All she wanted was a life with her true love. The life she was living now, she never asked to be a super nova whatever.
She sat up in her bed, the sheets felt so much warmer than usual as her body still tingled and reeled from the night before. She sat up nude in the bed and pulled her knees to her face as she wrapped her arms around her withdrawn body. She stood up and walked to the door where a satin bright red robe hung over the top. She wrapped herself in it and walked over to the window to conclude watching the sunrise. She had just finished making love in that very sun. That was something she could not believe. She knew she had to call them both, to voice her selection.
She took her time washing her beautiful, rich, and long ebony hair. Wet, the hair was slick and long and embraced her pale tiny waist. Her face immersed in the water of the shower, she really didn't know what to think, what to feel, anymore. She hadn't really decided. She promised her self that she would only go with feeling and not reason.
Yamcha. Yamcha seemed to be the underdog right now. He was just a plain human just like her. Sure he could fly and was strong. But nothing compared to Goku. Yet, he was there, when Goku was gone these twenty-five years he was there. Being her friend, talking to her, and eventually falling in love with her. Their love was held back and denied and cast aside until three years ago. When what the world thought didn't matter, when only her loneliness and her need to be loved came first he was there.
She loved him as well, but it was never truly deeply, the cloud of Goku held over her heart like the dampness of morning dew. She wanted to let go, but with Goku's yearly visits she couldn't. She knew that this thing had to be over forever, she couldn't stand that kind of relationship anymore and wanted out. She wanted a full time lover. She knew that what she had with Goku was over...forever.
It was by mid-day that Yamcha appeared. Silent he walked up to Chichi as her back faced him. He wrapped his longing hands, grasping her slim waist. "Chichi-san, I am sorry that I left like that... I know that this is so hard for you. Yet it has to be done. You must choose and live with your choice forever. I know that I am no Goku. I am no Sayjin. But I love you and will never ask anything more for you to be true to me. I want to be by your side always, but you have to feel the same. No regrets." He turned her around slowly and put his finger to her chin and slowly kissed her forehead. He stepped back and held her hands as their arms stretched out full length.
Chichi stepped back ever so slowly. I need to be clear minded. Just then he appeared. Still dressed in his pure brilliant white get-up he folded his arms and said not a word until he spoke her name. "Chichi don't you have something to say?"
Her mouth opened slowly and she was not even sure herself what she was going to say. "I....I....can't believe a day like this would come. Sigh, I am so beside myself right now. Goku, I loved you. I loved you in your absence; I loved you in our good times, bad times, in my prayers. I loved you until you drained me. You did not fill me back up, you left me to dry up like a bitter well. Although not intentionally, your obligations grew beyond everyone's understanding, you turned into something that I couldn't comprehend. You became this being of pure light and power. I was the proud wife, the wife of a Sayjin hero, the wife of the strongest being, I was a lonely wife."
Walking over to Yamcha she faced him closely. "We did not do this to hurt you Goku. In fact, you admitted to advising Yamcha to take care of me, a choice that killed you but what you thought was best. So he did in the most wonderful way. He loved me and, Yes Goku I loved him back. Yamcha I have every right to be with you, you have kept my company all these years. The voice of reason and sense screams for you, something new and uncharted a rush that I have never felt before; I see all that in you, Yamcha. Goku's arms slowly unfolded. His eyes glared wide open . Was this her shocking choice? Was this it? Was this one battle that he would lose to a powerless human? The battle of love?
Yamcha went to embrace her but then she turned away. "Goku you offered me to become you, you learned the art of extending your power, you offered me to combine myself to your very soul. You offer me to leave my humanity, my world behind. You had been gone for so long and still your chance for me to be with you, still leaves me and what I know behind. Walking away from you would be the right choice. Yamcha stepped forward "Nani?" ( what) "You mean he could make you like him? Impossible! It could kill you!? Chichi, this is selfish of him, all you want is love not to loose your humanity and become some goddess. "Chichi??" "Chichi answer me?" "Is that what you want? Never to cook again, never to eat again? Never to be normal again"
Goku stepped forward. Goku smiled. He sensed her thoughts. He felt her pain. "Yamcha, yelled Goku. Look at her, ask her again, what she wants...
"Damn you Goku, I want you. I want you. All I want is you. Yamcha's chest attacked him with sharp pains. He had lost another lover to a Sayjin. But Goku I don't know if I want to live like that. I don't...I don't...."
Goku spoke, "Chichi just as I learned that I can extend and give you my power. I can also let it go. Forever. Chichi raised an eyebrow. "What?" Yamcha raised an eyebrow. "What are saying Goku that you can rid your body of going super nova?" Yes said Goku. All I have to do is return my power back to where it came from, the sun. But I could also loose even being a super Sayjin. Chichi nodded "no Goku, that is you, you might regret it...you might hate me for it." " I could never hate you. Come to me my wife. Look me in my eyes, you tell me what you want. Don't be scared.
"I want you Goku, just plain old Goku."
It's done. Step back . Way back please. I never tried this before." They retreat.
He raised his hands to the air as if he was doing a sprit bomb. But he wasn't his body began to glow softly brightly, then almost violently. Too bright to look at, and despite the distance, Chichi felt incredible heat radiate from his body.
The ground his feet stood on burned and his body pressed him beneath the ground. His eyes filled with energy, and his body glowed with pure white ki. In what seemed like a miracle, the sun began to feed off the energy that she sent in a single beam to the sky, with his energy traveling faster than what will ever be comprehended.
Goku felt the very violent and extremely painful removal of the power that was his for twenty-five years. In a final large and loud burst of energy that sounded like a very loud bang. It was over. There Goku laid with one knee on the ground and with his body smoking, his clothes fully burned off his body and his hair yellow. Only his super Sayjin form could survive this transition. Chichi ran to his side and knelt beside him. She held his face to his and kissed him. "I love you Goku, so very much. "Tears strolled donnn her cheeks her as her cries turned into loud sobs. Goku held her and began to cry too. It was over forever, his leaving. His coming and going. She knew that Goku would never leave her again... That was and end to the relationship that she knew, here they would start a fresh beginning, with his humanity restored. Chichi was relieve to see that he was still a super sayjin being.
Yamcha flew off, he was more amazed than angry. More confused than jealous. He could not deny Goku's love for his wife. As complicated as it may be and as painful as it was, the tears flew down his cheeks as he saw that real true love can't be denied........ No matter the hurt. THE END (
